Two soldiers of a Japanese meat bomb team crawled forward on the ground, using obstacles and corpses on the battlefield to successfully get close to a T-26 tank of Ouyang Yu's army, and there were more than 20 soldiers of the sixth regiment around the T-26 tank.
Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters, one of the Japanese soldiers with meat bombs pulled the fuse of the bomb tied to his body, jumped up from the ground and shouted Long live His Majesty the Emperor, and rushed to the T-26 tank.
"Dada...... Woohoo ......!"
The soldiers of the 6th Regiment, which was protecting the T-26 tank, spotted the soldier in time and opened fire to give him a range of the hornet's nest.
"Boom......!"
The explosion of the bomb on the flesh bomb soldier not only shattered himself, but also injured the soldiers of the 6th Regiment who were protecting the T-26 tank, and even those who were not injured were blown down by the shock wave.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, long live!"
At this time, another Japanese soldier with a meat bullet took the opportunity to rush out, and when the soldiers of the six regiments around him found that it was too late to block, the meat bomb soldier who pulled the fuse successfully approached the tank, and then drilled under the T-26 tank.
"Boom......!"
The violent explosion turned the T-26 tank into a torch of steel, and the soldiers of the six regiments around it were also killed and injured by the explosion.
The above situation appeared a lot on the battlefield, the Japanese army's crazy meat bomb attack destroyed five T-26 tanks of Ouyang Yu's army, wounded three, and the sixth regiment was killed and wounded dozens of people, so that the smooth counteroffensive was suspended.
"Bastard!" Zhang Junsong put down his binoculars and ordered loudly to Liang Dai, the deputy commander of the regiment: "Tell my brothers, carefully inspect all corners of the offensive road, as long as you find any Japanese soldiers, whether they are alive or dead, you must stab me, and you must protect the tanks of the new 38th Regiment, and no similar situation will occur again!"
"Yes!"
Lacking heavy equipment, especially armored strength, the Chinese army looked at tanks or heavy artillery and other equipment more than human life, and would rather sacrifice a large number of soldiers than heavy equipment damaged or lost when necessary, not that the commander of the Chinese army did not love nurse soldiers, at that time, the industrial capacity of Huaxia was very low, and could only produce some rifles and other light weapons, and in the case that even artillery shells needed to be imported, every piece of heavy equipment was a treasure more important than gold, so Zhang Junsong would give such an order.
The 6th Regiment's attack began again after a short pause, and this time the soldiers of the 6th Regiment carefully inspected the places where the Japanese could hide the Japanese bullets on the offensive road, and the soldiers of the 6th Regiment also stabbed their bayonets into the vital points according to the order, whether they were dead or alive.
Although the speed of the attack was slowed down, it effectively ruled out the possibility of being attacked by the Japanese army's meat bombs, and greatly reduced the effect of the second wave of meat bombs sent by the Japanese army, only blowing up a BT-7 tank, but even this made Zhang Junsong feel distressed for a long time.
The third counterattack of the 6th Regiment successfully repelled the Japanese troops occupying the Shanghai North Railway Station and annihilated more than 400 Japanese troops, but its own casualties were not small, with more than 600 casualties.
The Japanese army at Shanghai North Railway Station has retreated, and there is no need for Ouyang Yu to stay here anymore, and the remaining Tiantongan Station is left to the Sixth Regiment to fight by itself, and at the same time, the "eyes" planted on the battlefield also came with the news that the Japanese army was preparing to attack her defense area, and she now needed to immediately lead the tank company and artillery company back.
"Commander Ouyang, thank you for your great kindness, if you need me Zhang Junsong and the Sixth Regiment in the future, just open your mouth, I, Zhang Junsong and the Sixth Regiment, will definitely go all out to repay Commander Ouyang and the new 38th Regiment!"
Zhang Junsong came to see Ouyang Yu off, and said a word of thanks when he was leaving, Ouyang Yu just smiled at these words, she was just for the quest.
"Commander Zhang is polite, you and I are both Chinese soldiers, and it is our duty to fight against the Japanese invaders, you don't have to thank me, so I will leave. ”
Ouyang Yu hugged his fist at Zhang Junsong, and without waiting for him to reply, he boarded the command vehicle and drove towards his own defense area with the remaining tank and artillery companies of the tank company.
The Japanese army attacking Ouyang Yu's defense area was unwilling to lose, and after retreating, they remobilized their forces to prepare for a second attack on her defense area.
Because Ouyang Yu's army had a large number of anti-tank guns, and the Japanese army had only more than 20 Weeks armored vehicles, all of which had been destroyed in the battle, so the Japanese troops attacking this time were all infantry and a small amount of artillery.
A Japanese army of more than 200 people used mortars to bombard the position of the third battalion and the first company of Ouyang Yu's army stationed on Baoshan Road, and after 10 minutes of shelling, the Japanese launched an attack, and the Japanese infantry and artillery coordinated very well, and when the last shell landed, the Japanese soldiers had approached the position of the company less than 100 meters.
The streets of Baoshan Road were not too wide, with four lanes and two or three storeys on both sides, and the attacking Japanese troops advanced along both sides of the street, using the load-bearing pillars outside the shops on the first floor as cover and launched fierce fire with the company.
Because of the teasing idea that if the high-level can kill the enemy with one bullet, why should they fire a bunch of bullets to consume resources, the Japanese soldiers who do not have many automatic weapons generally have good marksmanship, and they can hit the target more accurately even in the dark, so the losses of the first company are relatively large.
But the attacking Japanese army was not much better, and the company with more automatic weapons also gave the Japanese army heavy damage, especially the two Maxine heavy machine guns that were protected behind the sandbag fortress, which blocked the entire road under cross-fire, and the Japanese soldiers did not dare to show their heads, so they became a thorn in the side of the attacking Japanese army.
The Japanese army has a unique weapon that other armies do not have, grenadiers, and the grenadier is also known as ultra-light mortars, which are mainly equipped with Nazi Germany and Japanese armies in World War II.
The Japanese grenadier caliber is fifty mm, there are two models, the main difference is the length of the projectile, the Japanese invasion of China is mainly equipped with a 254 mm grenadier canister, each Japanese infantry squad (equivalent to a Chinese platoon, the number of people is between fifty and seventy people) is equipped with a machine gun group (with two light machine guns), a grenadier group (with two grenadiers) and two rifle squads. In the later stage, a grenadier and a light machine gun were used for a squad.
The grenadier of the Japanese army was essentially a light mortar, its main features were a large angle of fire, a curved trajectory and a short range. It is mainly used to kill and injure the enemy hiding behind fortifications and concealments or to kill and injure the enemy's living force at a long distance, its killing effect is good, it is easy to operate, and can be accompanied by a single soldier to move with the first-line infantry to support the first-line infantry. It is highly concealed due to its individual portability and the ability to launch behind obstacles. The grenadier canister was carried by a special ammunition bag, one of which could carry eight grenades, and a two-man grenadier group of sixteen.
When firing, the shooter pulls the firing lever first, and then the ammunition is loaded by the ammunition hand from the barrel mouth to complete the installation of the ammunition. Hold the launcher with the left hand, rotate the handle according to the target distance until the adjustment rod reaches the corresponding length, after the shooter takes a rough aim through the aiming line, pull the belt on the firing machine, fire the bottom of the explosive to shoot the grenade, because the propellant at the bottom has not changed, by adjusting the angle of the grenadier, to determine the firing distance and aim at the target, so only the experienced grenadier can accurately hit the target, with the development of weapons, the grenadier is gradually replaced by the gun grenade, bazooka and mortar with high accuracy.
At present, the main grenadier used by the Japanese army is the Taisho 10 grenadier canister, which has a caliber of 50 mm, a very light weight of only 2.6 kg, and a firing range of 175 meters. It was designed primarily for the Japanese military to be able to bridge the gap in fire between medium mortars and individual grenades, while at the same time being able to significantly increase the firepower of infantry detachments (the equivalent of squads in the Chinese army). The Taisho 10-year grenadier served in the Japanese army for twenty-five years until the defeat of the Japanese army in World War II.
However, the Taisho 10-style itself was not very good, its range was too short (less than 200 meters), which made it impossible for soldiers to use it at a relatively safe distance, and its accuracy was not good, which made it quickly replaced by the later 89-type grenadier canister.
In order to eliminate the two Maxine heavy machine guns of the first company, the attacking Japanese army used four grenadiers to launch concentrated fire on it, and the machine gun position of the first company was only surrounded by sand without a roof, so it was quickly overwhelmed by the grenades fired by the Japanese army, and without the suppression of the Maxine heavy machine guns, the Japanese soldiers charged under the order of the commander.
"Call me!"
The company commander of the first company was very smart, and only a small number of Suomi submachine guns and Czech light machine guns were involved in the battle, which made the Japanese army create the illusion that the defenders did not have many automatic weapons, and induced the Japanese army to launch a favorite charge white-knuckle battle.
"Dadada......!"
More than 10 Czech machine guns and more than 30 Suomi submachine guns suddenly broke out, and the dense rain of bullets fired knocked down the charging Japanese soldiers in pieces, unlike the Czech machine guns with only 20 rounds, the Suomi submachine gun, which uses 70 rounds of drum fire and super sustained firepower, has the greatest lethality to the Japanese soldiers who are charging, and a 70-round drum is enough to kill more than 10 Japanese soldiers.
In just a few minutes, the front of the company's position was covered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and many wounded Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground and wailing loudly.
