740 Epilogue

After the fighters quickly approached, they immediately knocked out the sights, periscopes and other parts of the devil tank where the external situation of the tank could be seen.

Let the devil tank crew hiding inside the tank not be able to see the outside situation at all.

The little devils were like they were blind, setting up heavy machine guns and light machine guns to blindly strafe fire.

Some of the soldiers of the new regiment who jumped into the trenches, because they did not understand the structure of the tank, a row of heavy machine gun bullets from the devils strafed them, and four or five fighters were killed on the spot.

"Dead end! He's numb, hiding in a dead corner, don't want to die? ”

A platoon commander of the second company of the independent regiment couldn't help but curse, and the fighters commanding the new regiment hurriedly hid in the dead corner under the side of the tank.

This is the benefit of being taught in anti-tank warfare in peacetime.

For the construction of the devil tank, the location of the dead end, the fighters of the independent regiment are quite familiar.

At the moment, the two sides are at a stalemate.

The devil tank soldiers hiding inside the tank were also completely panicked, and from the moment they fell into the trap, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops were besieged around the area.

The only thing they can do is to operate the light and heavy machine guns inside the tank to fire wildly, and use cathartic firepower to hide their inner uneasiness.

But the machine gun bullets inside the tank are only about 2,000 rounds in total, and there will always be a time when they will run out.

The platoon commander of the independent regiment outside was also angry.

"This dog-day little devil is still a turtle with a shrunken head, if it weren't for the capture of the tank, the devil's thin-skinned tank, let's blow him up directly with a bundle of grenades!"

"Has the hatch been pried open?"

"Platoon commander, you can't pry it open, the little devil locked the hatch from the inside!"

On the hatch cover of the devil's tank, a soldier quickly climbed up, stunned in the blind spot where the devil's machine gun could not shoot, and took advantage of the tank that was trapped in the trench at the moment and could not move, holding an iron rod and vigorously cocking the tank hatch.

But I just can't pry it open.

The structure of the Devil Tank is also designed with the maneuverability of the tank on the battlefield blocked, and after being close to the enemy, it is easiest to attack the internal tank crew through the hatch.

So the devil's tank hatch can be completely stuck from the inside.

In this way, the three little devils hiding inside the tank were like Wang Ba who had retracted into a shell, although their fire attack had no effect on the fighters hiding in the corner.

In order to successfully capture the tank, the fighters couldn't kill the little devils hiding inside the tank for a while.

In the frantic fire, inside the tank, perhaps the machine guns that were constantly firing were already hot, and the devils temporarily ceased fire.

An anti-tank combat group belonging to the 1st battalion of the separate regiment quickly arrived.

"Three platoon leaders, haven't solved the little devils inside?"

The commander of the third platoon, who was hiding in the dead corner of the tank, shouted helplessly:

"The little devil has made up his mind to be a shrunken turtle, if they don't come out, we have nothing to do!"

"Let's do it!"

The deputy leader of the anti-tank group, who quickly jumped into the trench, shouted.

After that, the deputy leader gave an order, and the other two team members also jumped into the deep pit, then raised the strange-looking rifle in their hands, adjusted the angle, and according to the soldiers' familiarity with the internal structure of the Devil Type 92 tank, aimed at the position where the tank crew inside the devil was located.

"Comrades, stay out of the way, beware of ricochet!" The third platoon commander was startled and hurriedly shouted, he didn't understand whether the fighters of the anti-tank combat group had their brains pumped.

Take a bullet to hit the tank armor, can this penetrate it?

Even if it is a devil's thin-skinned tank, it is impossible for ordinary bullets to penetrate it.

If you don't know how the bullet will bounce off, you may even injure your comrades.

Bang –

After a few gunshots, the three platoon leaders were stunned.

The bullets fired by several fighters of the sniper team actually directly punched a small hole in the armor of the devil tank.

The Devil's machine gun fire, which had begun to fire blindly outwards again, stopped abruptly.

After quickly resolving the battle, looking at the somewhat dumbfounded third platoon commander, the deputy leader of the anti-tank group laughed and said:

"Third platoon commander, don't be stupid, this is the latest anti-tank bullet developed by our repair institute that has been hardened, and there is no problem at all if it penetrates a thin-skinned tank of less than ten millimeters from such a close distance."

"I'll leave the rest of the problem of how to open the devil's hatch to you!"

As he spoke, the deputy leader took the members of the anti-tank team to support other local battlefields.

…… From the perspective of the reporter's relatives, the devil tanks and armored vehicles that fell into the trenches were all attacked by the soldiers who immediately launched a charge to catch up.

Some of the devil tanks have already flipped on their sides.

There are also devil tanks that have adjusted their tracks and actually rampaged in the trenches, only to be blown up by the fighters again.

The imps hiding inside the tank lost the mobility of the tank and fired wildly at the outside of the tank with light and heavy machine guns.

Even if the soldiers of the independent regiment were familiar with the structure of the tank and took refuge in time to the dead end area, there were still some casualties.

At first glance, it looks like a swarm of ants besieging a dozen beetles.

For the Eighth Route Army, such a large-scale anti-tank operation situation is quite rare.

Song Qing hurriedly adjusted the camera at hand and filmed the inside of the trench.

The other side.

Kazuo Uehara, the leader of the devil squadron, realized that the general trend had gone and the defeat was decided.

Faced with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which quickly attacked with the help of smoke, he hurriedly gave the order to retreat.

Not only that, but Uehara, the old devil, personally got into an 89 type tank and broke through with the tank's high-speed mobility.

At this time, Uehara's tank troops were left with only two Type 89 tanks and three other Type 94 ultralight tanks with 37 mm tank guns.

Some of the rest fell into the trenches, and some were directly entangled by the attacking Eighth Route Army.

The coordinated infantry, which did not have the protection of tank armor, had already been beaten to pieces by the fierce firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and suffered all casualties.

On the cavalry squadron of Okazaki, who was originally counting on it.

Just moments ago, with the help of the smoke that gradually dissipated, he saw more than 20 cavalry fleeing from the flank of Dafengzhuang.

There is not even a figure of Okazaki, the squadron leader, among them.

At this moment, Uehara still doesn't understand what is going on.

He was only bent on escaping from this nightmarish place, and then complained to His Excellency the Commander that the plan to attack Dafengzhuang was so stupid that it was clearly a trap carefully designed by the Eighth Route.

"Report to the battalion commander, the devil's five tanks are breaking through, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it!"

The communications soldiers hurriedly ran to report to the commander of the first battalion, Lei Dasheng, who also saw several devil tanks that were about to rush out of the smoke-shrouded range.

"There's no way, notify the artillery unit, don't let the rest of the devil tanks blow up!"

Lei Dasheng gave the order without hesitation.

Despite the fact that the regimental commander's order was to capture the tanks as completely as possible, it was clear that it was impossible to do so at the moment.

"Yes!"

The order was given, and with the help of military motorcycles, the anti-tank artillery units of the separate regiment were quickly detoured to the flank of the devil tank.

Under the command of the deputy commander of the artillery battalion of a detachment, the howitzer opened fire with an excited face.

The howitzer, which has a fairly clear understanding of the structure of the Devil Tank, quickly estimates the speed, direction and distance of the movement of several Devil Tanks, and then determines the appropriate amount of advance in the dense position.

Together with the artillery positions commanded by howitzers, five 37-mm anti-tank guns were fired in clusters.

Use the covering fire of localized areas to increase the hit rate.

The accuracy of the shells was as if they had predicted the advance of the devil tank.

Boom –

A shell was smashing into the flank armor of a Japanese Type 89 tank that was rapidly fleeing northward.

The next moment, the shell exploded, directly shattering the wing armor of the Devil Type 89 tank, and the Devil Tank, which was originally moving in quickly, staggered to a halt.

There is no doubt that under this attack, the internal devil tank crew should have been shocked to death.

This is exactly what is expected of howitzers.

The armor on the flanks of the Devil's Type 89 tank was much thinner than the armor at the front.

The power of an anti-tank gun built with a separate regiment is enough to destroy a tank if it hits the flank armor in a positive direction.

Hiding inside another Type 89 tank, Kazuo Uehara, who was temporarily the commander, was bluffed and his face changed drastically.

"Anti-tank guns, damn it, these eight-way guns actually have anti-tank guns in their hands!"

"Full speed ahead, quick, break out!"

Kazuo Uehara yelled at the tank driver, and in the face of the repeated blows of the fighters of the Independent Regiment, he couldn't even think of fighting back.

Seeing that the howitzer had succeeded in the first blow, the order did not stop, and the artillery fire continued to bombard the tank where the devil had fled.

In addition to the last Type 89 tank, the armor of the other three Type 94 ultralight tanks was as thin as a piece of paper.

But any hit by anti-tank guns, even the front armor, can destroy it in one fell swoop.

One of the devil gunners seemed to be annoyed, yelled at the inside of the tank, told the driver to keep the tank slow, slow down slightly, and then mobilized the attached 37mm tank gun, trying to return fire at the howitzer artillery position.

"Good time, fire!"

As soon as the speed of the devil tank slowed down, the howitzer immediately seized the fleeting moment and gave the order to fire.

Boom –

The two shells seemed to staggered in mid-air at a rapid speed, and the howitzer directed the shells fired, blowing the opposing Type 94 tank to pieces in a burst of explosions.

However, the shell fired by the devil gunner exploded more than ten meters away from the right flank of the artillery position of the howitzer line.

"Haha, this little devil of the dog day, you learned the gunfire technique from the girl, right?"

The howitzer couldn't help but taunt loudly, and at this time, looking at it, the devil was only left with the last Type 89 tank, and fled all the way.

"Deputy battalion commander, do you continue to fire?"

Looking at the last Devil Type 89 tank that quickly broke out, the howitzer shook his head.

"Forget it, don't waste the shells, the distance is too far, the size of the little devil's Type 89 medium tank is much larger than the Douding tank, and at such a long distance, eighty percent can't beat it."

"Yes!"

At this point, the anti-tank operation in Dafengzhuang was coming to an end......
