Chapter 468: Engagement

"Don't mess around, build a line of defense!" The squad leader shouted hoarsely, but his voice was quickly muffled.

Build a yarn, the panicked little devil has long been scattered, who the doesn't care what orders are not.

Some of the Japanese soldiers still raised their guns to shoot, but in front of this ironclad male soldier, the three or eight big covers in their hands seemed so weak, and they were torn to pieces by the .50 machine gun in an instant.

"Big brother! What are we going to do? Jiro Takeshita's face turned pale, and the bullets whizzed over his head, making his hands trembling in his grip on the rifle.

"Run, do you want to stay here and die?"

Jun Cao grabbed his back collar and buried his head and ran, asking a yarn, what else can I do now besides running?

The squad leader not far away was still trying his best to restrain the panicked team, but the soldiers were already frightened, and fled on their own, not obeying his orders at all.

"Yaga! You guys..."

Rumble!

A cannonball landed at his feet, and the squad leader's body was easily lifted into the air like a feather, and when it fell, his thighs were gone, and there were still a pair of dead eyes on the bloody corpse.

The gunfire continued, and the dozen or so Sherman tanks did not intend to let them go, seeing that the squad leader was killed, the devil squad became even more chaotic, and in just a few minutes, the Japanese soldiers who fled in panic quickly turned into corpses under the strafing of the tank machine guns.

"Phew! I can't help but fight! ”

Hong Mu let go of the machine gun that was smoking, took a cartridge box from the gunner's hand and reloaded the machine gun, and the soldiers of the other armored brigades still had an unfinished expression, obviously this reconnaissance team of more than 40 people was not enough for them to stuff their teeth.

"Zizi... Shout tank regiments, report on the current situation? Please answer if you receive it."

The voice of the rear liaison officer came from the radio, and Hong Mu grabbed the communicator and said casually: "When we encountered a devil squad at the front, they were basically annihilated, and there were no casualties in the tank regiment."

"Roger, Zizi... Keep moving at a constant speed with the armored vehicles in the rear and keep moving forward, with the Japanese forces right in front of you. ”

"Understood!"

Hong Mu put down the communicator, leaned out of the turret and shouted loudly: "Young men, cheer up and move on, let's give the little devil a big greeting gift!" ”

"Yes!"

A pungent smoke erupted from behind the butt of the tank, and the tracks made a loud noise, and the corpses of the devils that weighed down the ground were restarted, and behind them, there were more armored vehicles slowly following...

The deafening sound of artillery echoed across the plains, and the Japanese troops two kilometers away could hear it very clearly.

It's so far from the main battlefield, how can there be enemies? But the captain of the Sasaki wing, who was resting, was very frightened, and the soldiers were also nervous, and they couldn't stop looking forward.

â€œă©ă†ă—ăŸăźïŒŸ Sasaki-kun!? ”

"あわどăȘいで, let the troops be ready for battle, and bring up all the artillery!" Sasaki suppressed his emotions and commanded calmly.

The sound of the artillery was only a few kilometers away, and it should have been the reconnaissance team in front of him who was fighting with the enemy, but he didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he could only let the troops build a defensive line and prepare first.

Hearing the order of the commander, all the Japanese mobilized, and the soldiers of the 67th Wing immediately began to move forward, and the mortar and mountain artillery parts placed on the bicycle were also quickly unloaded, and artillery positions were established in place.

"Ha Pressure Library! Seize the high ground and build machine-gun fire points ...

"The ammunition box is brought up..."

"Fifth Brigade to the left flank, pay attention to the northwest direction..."

The Japanese army was busy for a while, but only ten or so minutes later, before the busy little devils had completely arranged the defensive line, they heard a roar coming from the front.

At the end of their line of sight, a cloud of dust rose into the sky, and everyone was stunned by this scene, forgetting their work in hand for a while, and staring blankly ahead.

"Nani!?"

Sasaki's eyes were instantly blood-red, how could there be so many enemy armored troops here?

Sharp whistles came and went, and Cao Chang in the Japanese army hurriedly blew his whistle and beckoned the soldiers to defend, but when he saw the sky-swallowing momentum on the opposite side, everyone was chuckling in their hearts.

"Close the hatch and get ready for battle!"

The leader of the platoon was the sixteen 75MM4A3E8 and nine A2 short-barreled Shermans in the tank regiment, under the command of Hong Mu, all the crews closed the hatch at the top of the turret, the driver drove forward at full speed, the loader pushed the unsafe shell into the chamber, the gunner had already aimed at the target with the scope, and the machine gunner pulled the bolt and loaded it!

Dozens of tanks galloped across the plains at breakneck speeds, their tracks pressing trenches into the ground, and the roar of their engines coming straight at the Japanese troops.

"Artillery æ’ƒă™ă‚‹!"

Rumble!

Rumble...

The Japanese artillerymen who couldn't hold their breath took the lead in firing, mortar shells and mountain guns tilted their fire on the incoming tanks, and the rumbling of various explosions was endless...

"Steady!"

Rumble!

One shell after another landed in the convoy, the shrapnel that exploded around it clanged on the hull, the light of the fire blocked the view, and the smoke of gunpowder instantly filled in front of you...

A 75-hill shell hit Hong Mu's vehicle, and the huge explosion shook people's eardrums, and the inside of the tank shook for a while.

"His grandmother's!"

Hong Mu held the fur hat on his head and scolded, a little scared in his heart, but fortunately, Sherman's frontal armor was strong enough, and the 75mm mountain artillery couldn't hurt them at all.

The little devil was quite satisfied with the effect of the fire coverage, but as the smoke cleared... The result was a big blow, the opposing tank convoy was actually intact, and the tall iron bumps continued to walk towards them.

"All tank crews move on, armored convoys pay attention to evade, destroyers ... Stop and bang his son of a bitch! ”

As soon as Hong Mu's voice fell, the tanks in the front row took the lead in firing, and although the shooting accuracy was not very good during the move, dozens of shells still caused confusion on the position of the little devils.

The half-track destroyer with the PAK40 anti-tank gun stopped at a distance of a kilometer, and the gunner quickly adjusted the angle and began to counterattack.

Rumble!

Rumble!

At such a close distance, the direct-aiming cannon basically didn't need to be calibrated too much, and the shells accurately bombarded the front team of the Japanese army, and countless little devils were blown up to cry and cry for their mothers.

"Fire! Fire them all! Occupy the high ground on both flanks and hold off the enemy! ”

The Japanese forward machine gun fire points immediately began to fire, and mortars and grenadiers were also added, but in the face of the unstoppable big guy, what role can a small bullet play? Instead, they were blown up by the opponent's shells.

Seeing that there was no way to stop the enemy, the little devil began to panic, the whole team did not carry large equipment at all in order to maintain speed, and the only heavy firepower was the 75mm 41 mountain cannon that could be disassembled, but that thing didn't work at all.

The two sides were less than a kilometer apart, and there was a vast and vast plain, and in just a few minutes, the tank regiment crashed mercilessly into the ranks of the Japanese army with lightning speed...
