Chapter 328: The Battle of the Estuary

The loud explosion muffled everything, and Chen Tang only had time to say a random yes, and then he couldn't hear any more sounds.

The devils have very strong firepower, machine guns, grenadiers, infantry guns... With all their heavy weaponry, they formed a blockade at the mouth of the narrow river.

The bullets on the body kept ringing, Chen Tang could only curl up behind the armored car, he did not blindly follow his comrades and rushed out, because he knew that he was just a small infantryman, and he couldn't make many waves on this big battlefield.

Because of the river blockage, tanks and armored vehicles could not directly cross the river, and for a time they could only passively withstand the opponent's fire.

"Boom!"

An artillery shot hit the body of the No. 3 car where Yuan Li was, and the shock caused by the explosion caused the cabin to shake violently.

Yuan Li's head hit the iron plate next to him hard, if he hadn't been wearing a crash shield, he would have to break his head and bleed.

"The convoy dispersed, all the artillery fired at full strength, grandma's! Hit me hard! ”

After speaking, Yuan Li quickly drilled out of the turret, and pulled the bolt of the M2 heavy machine gun away with a bang, and the huge barrel was facing forward.

The tank guns and the SDKFZ251 armored vehicles equipped with 37 anti-aircraft guns opened fire immediately, and each Sherman was equipped with an M2 and two M1919 heavy machine guns.

Both sides frantically poured firepower, dragging light bullets and dragging yellow-red flames, and shot across the river, and the trees on both sides of the bank were beaten to the point of flying branches and leaves, and broken trunks abounded.

The infantry on the armored personnel carrier was not idle, they immediately got out of the car and formed a formation, using the armored vehicle hull as a cover to shoot at the Japanese troops on the opposite bank.

"The second platoon moves to the flanks and pins down the enemy! The rescue of the wounded in the third platoon, regardless of whether they are dead or not, drag them to the back first, quickly! ”

"Monk! Organize the brothers to fight back, ask someone to pull down the mortar, and kill those turtle grandchildren for me! ”

Seeing that the troops were suppressed by the little devil's infantry artillery, Mo Youcai immediately called his subordinates to act.

"Ahh the mother! ”

A stray bullet hit his left arm because of the rebound of the chariot's steel plate, and blood seeped out instantly.

"Company commander!?"

"Leave me alone, what the hell to do! Fast! ”

"Understood! Dagui led the machine gunners to set up a firing point, and the rest of the people covered the cannon to unload the gun, and the smoke bombs greeted me! ”

Monk Zhou roared hard, took the lead in raising the submachine gun and pulled the trigger on the opposite bank, the muzzle of the gun puffed out flames, and the soldiers around him followed suit, regardless of whether they hit or not, as long as they shot at the point of fire on the opposite side.

The two soldiers took out smoke bombs, pulled open the pull ring and threw them out, and within a few moments a cloud of white smoke slowly rose from their river beach.

Taking advantage of this effort, Chen Tang turned over and entered a crater, just now he saw with his own eyes that his comrades in the same platoon had their legs blown off, and at this moment they were covering the bloody wounds and screaming again and again.

Because of the fierce gunfire on the battlefield, no one noticed his existence except for the sharp-eyed Chen Tang, and even if he found out, he didn't dare to brave the rain of bullets and bullets to rush to the rescue, which was undoubtedly no different from suicide.

But Chen Tang remembered that it was one of the soldiers who went with Monk Zhou when he received the supplies, and he also greeted him.

"Grab my shoulders!" Chen Tang let out a low roar, couldn't help but pull up the wounded man, and ran behind the chariot with difficulty.

"Thank you...... Thank you"

Bullets are fired into the dirt and make a popping sound, and the slightest mistake has to be explained here, and the sense of fear occupies most of the mind, but it is this emotion that makes people's desire to survive infinitely expand.

At this time, Chen Tang couldn't care about being afraid, and there was only one thing left in his mind, and that was to take this comrade-in-arms to a safe place.

"Grandma, a bear, didn't I tell you not to do it!?" Seeing this scene, Monk Zhou was frightened, but he didn't expect this kid to be so bold.

Chen Tang, who was covered with a dark face, took the wounded back to the back of the armored car, because he was in too much of a hurry, his steel helmet fell off, and his comrades immediately caught up with them, supported them, and sent the wounded soldiers to the rear medical platoon.

"Stinky boy! Are you taking my words as wind in your ears? ”

Monk Zhou came up with a brain meltdown, and Chen Tang covered his head in pain, the latter didn't explain anything, he just felt that he should do it, just like he was almost burned to charcoal, and his comrades-in-arms around him still tried their best to save him.

Although everyone didn't say anything, the way everyone looked at him had changed, and some people might think he was reckless, but his behavior had been respected and recognized by most people.

The comrade-in-arms is nothing more than this, no one can guarantee that they will not be shot and injured on the battlefield, if at this time they can only rely on those companions who get along day and night, there is such a comrade-in-arms who will never abandon more than anything else.

The artillery platoons hurriedly took advantage of this gap, seized the time to move the mortars from the cars, and quickly deployed the artillery positions.

Their seven companies belong to the fire reinforcement company, each platoon has 4 M2 mortars, and one company belongs to the battle defense artillery platoon, the whole company has 12 60 mm mortars plus 3 37 battle defense guns, which is comparable to an infantry brigade of devils in terms of heavy firepower.

The Wanmachi River is not wide, the span between the two banks is only less than 300 meters, and even if you count the battle distance between the two sides of the river beach, it is only five or six hundred meters, compared with heavy artillery, direct-aim tank guns and curved fire weapons are more suitable for fighting here.

After the opponent's initial fire suppression, the seventh company was ready to counterattack, but now the devil was overwhelmed by tanks and light and heavy machine guns, and his own artillery adjusted the mortar to a large elevation angle of 80 degrees, in order to perfectly cover the enemy's position at this distance.

"The distance is 550 meters, the direction is 13-3, the elevation angle is 81, all gun emplacements are fired in one salvo ... Preparation... Put! ”

The artillery platoon commander appeared very confident and directly ordered all the artillery to fire at the same time, because at this distance the error was already very small.

A salvo of 12 mortars instantly blew up the north shore with smoke and dust, and all kinds of firearms took turns to greet them. The little devil originally wanted to use the river to stop the opponent's offensive, but who could hold on to it under such a violent firepower?

The other party, like a nouveau riche, didn't care about the huge ammunition consumption at all, and all kinds of shells didn't stop.

There is a saying that the accuracy is not enough, the firepower is to make up, and the Japanese army has no way to hide from this engagement distance of less than 600 meters, and is caught by the enemy and beaten fatly.

There are countless little devils killed and injured, and their few infantry guns have also been destroyed a lot, but the devil commander is still insisting, because this is already the last line of defense in Wan Town, and he refuses to retreat if he says anything......
