Chapter 481, The Second Battle of Shandong 9.
In less than 3 minutes, the devil artillery began to shell, and one mortar after another whistled out a parabola and fell to the Shandong army's position. Boom, boom, shells fell to the ground and blossomed, and violent explosions sounded one after another, making it dusty and gunsmoke for a while, and the small slope top position was once again swept by pears over and over again.
"Assault! Tao times change! "Before the crazy shelling ended, the devil squadron leader Iwamoto Shu drew his command knife and roared loudly at the top of his throat." Hello! Nearly a hundred devil soldiers roared angrily, and then pulled open the skirmish line with their guns and rushed upward. However, it was only three seconds after being handsome, and the devil had just rushed out not far before he stepped on several mines, and nearly 10 devil soldiers were blown up into the air and died. "Yaga! There are even mines! ”
The leader of the devil squadron, Iwamoto, originally wanted to take advantage of the cover of artillery fire to rush forward in one go, but he didn't expect that there was still a minefield at the front of the position of just over a hundred meters. However, at this time, the arrow had to be fired, but the leader of the devil squadron did not give the order to retreat because of this, and could only let these devil soldiers use their flesh and blood to go to the thunder. "Hurry up and get into the position, the devil has touched it!" "The little devil of the dog day is finally here!"
When the devil's shelling was over, the officers and men of Shandong drilled out of the anti-artillery holes one after another, entered the position as quickly as possible, opened the safety push bomb and loaded the gun on the trench. And at this time, the devil infantry had rushed to the front of the position about 50 meters. "Shoot! Hit hard! Without the slightest hesitation, the officers and soldiers of Shandong pulled the trigger one after another and frantically blazed fire at the devil. Puff, puff, high-speed rotating bullets shot into the devil's chest, splashing out of bewitching blood flowers, and more than 20 devil soldiers were knocked down in the blink of an eye.
"Yaga! Get down! The dense bullets attacked, like impenetrable raindrops, where did the surviving devil soldiers dare to continue to charge, and hurriedly fell to the ground and hid in the crater next to them. In this way, they really hid in the shooting corner of the Shandong army, and although it was difficult for the devil soldiers to continue to charge, they were safe for the time being. "Yaga! Keep firing! "When the leader of the devil squadron, Iwamoto, saw that the assault was blocked, and he didn't care if he would accidentally bomb his own people because of the proximity, so he ordered mortars and grenadiers to suppress the fire.
And even the devil's tank guns are beginning to wield. "Dog's Day is here again!" "Hide!"
Seeing the devils shelling again, but because the devil soldiers had already rushed to the front of the position, the Shandong officers and soldiers could only squat down and hide in the trenches this time, instead of drilling into the anti-artillery holes as before. Soon the shells landed and exploded one after another, and the officers and men of Shandong suffered an extremely severe test.
Thanks to these small-caliber artillery, as long as they are not directly hit, there is basically not much danger, and after this round of shelling, only 3 soldiers were unfortunately martyred and 5 soldiers were wounded. "Tao Ci Change!" After the shelling was over, the devil soldiers who rushed to the front began to crawl forward boldly, rushing from one crater to another, alternately covering and continuing to advance. "Dog's day, don't die yet!"
Shen Wei gently pulled the trigger, and the head of a young devil who was emerging bloomed in a flash, although the little devil's movements were very fast and obscene, but the bullet was not vegetarian. After a burst of fire, the little devil moved to within 30 meters, and then the devil soldier had room to throw grenades. "Throw a grenade and blow up these turtle grandchildren!"
Shen Wei and the others naturally didn't give the devil this chance, so they took down a high-explosive grenade one after another, unscrewed the metal cover, pulled the ignition rope, and then threw it forward. Boom, a series of violent explosions exploded in an instant, the front of the position was dusty, and pieces of flesh and blood were flying in all directions, and this wave of concentrated fire caused extremely serious casualties to the devil soldiers. The devil soldiers finally rushed to the bottom of the high ground, but they were covered with corpses by the high-explosive grenades, and there were less than ten devil soldiers left shivering on the ground.
"Baga Ya Road! Dead, dead, dead! "The devil squadron leader Iwamoto saw that his eyes were spitting fire, and in this way, half of the squadron would be gone, and if there was another wave, the entire squadron would be finished. And it is obvious that according to the current rhythm of the offensive, if you only charge with infantry, you will not lose four or five hundred people, and you will not want to take this small high ground.
If you want to capture it cleanly, you must first cover it with artillery fire, and it is best to have large-caliber field guns. But the problem arose again, as the vanguard of the rapid march not only did not have the ability to carry heavy artillery, but even carried little artillery ammunition.
As for the tank troops that moved the battery, Iwamoto couldn't count on it, and after thinking about it, Iwamoto could only turn back to the hillside to meet his boss, Captain Kitano Ryuo, hoping that he could ask for air support and blow up another wave of Huaxia positions on the top of the slope.
"Baga Ya Road! You coward! "After listening to Iwamoto's narration, Kitano Ryuo didn't say a word, and he was directly a few big mouths, and the Iwamoto tree was purple-red, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth." Hello! The official level crushed people to death, and Iwamoto didn't dare to resist at all, and stood up straight and respectfully accepted the beating. Japan has been a hierarchical society since ancient times, and Japanese people have been taught from an early age to obey their superiors unconditionally, and not to allow the slightest disobedience.
It has long been a tradition that it is common for superiors to insult and beat subordinates in Japan, and this tradition has developed to the extreme in the old Japanese army before World War II, which can be described as perverted. During World War II, the Japanese Army stipulated that superiors could scold their subordinates at will without any reason, and before they could do so, their superiors would inform their soldiers, who would have to shout "Hayi!" Even if he is kicked to the ground by his commander, the soldier must immediately get up and stand upright, ready for another kick or slap.
When receiving discipline, the soldier must always remain in place with humility and must not dodge or evade. Therefore, in the old Japanese army, superiors could beat and scold their subordinates and veterans to recruits at will, which was not an unspoken rule, but a rule and convention.
The Japanese hope to combine this cruel method with militaristic brainwashing, to shape soldiers into emotionless machines, to demand absolute obedience, even if they are asked to mutilate innocent lives, even if they themselves lose their lives. In order to achieve this goal, the tyranny in the old Japanese army can be described as exhaustive, and it is also called to train the loyalty and bravery of the soldiers, and it is "fatherly care".
In the old Japanese army, veterans often used the pretext of "instilling military spirit" in them, making new recruits stand in a row, slapping their heads and kicking their bodies with belts and leather boots, often scarring them. After smacking a few mouths hard, Kitano Ryuo roared and roared: "Yagayalu, do you know that if we delay here for a second longer, the besieged Imperial Army in front will have an additional threat of annihilation?" ”
"Hello!" The leader of the devil squadron, Iwamoto, had already heard that this was to let himself go up as artillery fire, but he had no choice but to pause his head. "Yo Si! You immediately lead your troops to charge again, and before the main forces arrive, we must take these two small heights, or you will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
"Hello!" Iwamoto Shu turned around and trotted after a pause, ran to the forward position in one breath, drew his command knife and shouted loudly: "Artillery unit fire cover, Iwamoto squadron all charge!" Assault! "Hello!" "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" Knowing that the last moment was coming, the remaining nearly 100 devil soldiers of the Iwamoto squadron were instantly red-eyed, and when the cannon rang out, they gritted their teeth and launched a board charge.
"The little devils of the dog day have come to this trick again, it seems that they are already in a hurry!" "That's right, it's called a dog jumping off the wall!" "Brothers, let the little devil rush for a while, and then beat him hard when he gets closer." The attack routine of the devil has long been known, and as soon as the devil's cannon sounded, everyone squatted down one after another, leaning against the trench to dodge.
"Tao Ci Change!" Taking advantage of the cover of artillery fire, the leader of the devil squadron, Iwamoto, followed the team with a command knife, stepping on the soft ground and bloody upward assault. Seeing Iwamoto Tree rushing up with his troops, Kitano Ryuo, the captain of the Devil Brigade, immediately turned his head and ordered: "Sano squadron, immediately step forward to fill the position, we must capture these two heights as quickly as possible!" ”
"Hello!" Keita Sano immediately ordered the leader to quickly advance up the dirt slope with the squadron of his headquarters to the place where the tank unit was. When the devil rushed closer, Pei Jundang, who was in the pillbox on the top of the slope, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "The devil has entered the 50-meter range, everyone is ready to fight!" ”
"Yes!" "Get into position!" Qiu Jianliang, Shen Wei and others stood up one after another, put their guns in the trenches, opened the safety and pushed the bullets to load, and the muzzles of the black holes were quickly aimed at the devil soldiers who were frantically assaulting. At this time, the mortar position of the devil has been greatly reduced, and I don't know whether it is because there is no ammunition or if I am afraid that I will bomb my own troops by mistake.
"Give me death!" Qiu Jianliang observed for a while, and then locked the first sniper target on the leader of the devil squadron who commanded the battle, Iwamoto Shu. When the crosshair was aimed at the devil's steel helmet, Qiu Jianliang did not hesitate to gently pull the trigger, and a sniper bullet whistled out.
Almost as soon as the gun was fired, Qiu Jianliang saw from the scope that the devil's steel helmet had been punched out of a hole, and then the devil's squadron leader fell to the ground and turned into a dead corpse. "Fire!" "Kill!" The sound of the gun was the order, and the others did not hesitate to pull the trigger and shoot the ghost soldiers who had already been locked.
Bang bang bang! Da-da-da-da! In an instant, the gunfire was loud, like fried beans, and angry bullets shot out of the chamber, and a moment later, blood splashed on the devil's body.
"Yaga!" "Pounce on you!" Although the reaction speed of the ghost soldiers is not slow, the bullet speed is faster, and the ghost soldiers who rushed to the front row basically failed to escape the fate of being shot. In the first attack, no less than 20 devil soldiers were killed, and the rest of the devil soldiers hid in earthen craters.
Under the suppression of the powerful firepower network, the devil attack troops did not dare to continue to charge forward at all, but only dared to lie on the ground and put cold guns, and from time to time they even used grenadiers to put a cannon. "Brothers, be careful, the little devil has vicious marksmanship!" The devil soldiers did not dare to charge forward to avoid the cold guns, and the officers and men of the tiger could only rely on the terrain and excellent military quality to shoot at the devil soldiers, looking for opportunities to shoot and snipe.
The position of Guan Gong Temple was again at a stalemate. At the same time, the situation of the Niulang Slope position on the opposite side was similar, and the devil soldiers could not rush into the Tiger Ben Army's position in one breath after several charges, so they could only hide and release cold guns. "Yaga! That's not going to work! The captain of the devil brigade, Ryuo Kitano, shook his head when he saw it, but he didn't have the slightest solution, because he knew that in the face of the Shandong army with powerful automatic firepower, a brainless onboard charge would definitely not work.
There is no large-caliber field artillery in his hand, and he can't expect the air force to bomb on a large scale again, and at this time Kitano Ryuo can only count on the attacking troops to rely on excellent military quality and constantly consume and gnaw down little by little. "Nani, what's going on?" Boom, but at that moment there was a faint roar of the motor at five o'clock. Hearing the strange noise, Kitano Ryusheng hurriedly picked up the telescope and followed the sound, only to see a group of huge Huaxia heavy tanks appear in the grass in the distance, crushing the half-human-high weeds with black smoke and frantically assaulting.
"Baga Ya Road! The big thing is not good, the Huaxia tank is coming! Hurry up and get ready to meet the enemy! Kitano Ryuo's face suddenly changed greatly, and there were no less than 20 Huaxia heavy tanks in his field of vision, and these heavy tanks were completely a torrent of steel that the infantry could not defeat. Kitano Ryuo panicked, and the devil tank troops and infantry who were attacking the two small heights also became extremely panicked.
I have never eaten pork and have seen pigs run, so I naturally know what kind of existence these heavy tanks with thick skin and strong firepower are. "Hey, hey! The little devil's welcome ceremony was really grand enough, and the brothers rushed to avenge the brothers! Although Huo Yong's car was destroyed by the devil, he relied on the official level to crush people to death, and the very unreasonable Gu Zhan Magpie's Nest once again became the commander of the charge.
"Kill!" "Fire!" The 35 tanks were like thousands of horses, crossing patches of grass and bushes, and cutting into the battlefield with great momentum.
Boom, boom, one after another shells fell into the devil's circle with a sharp roar, and they continued to explode one after another, and the high-speed splashing shrapnel set off a bloody rain. "Ah, help!" "Yaga!" "Hurry up and send a telegram to request fire support from the aviation regiment!"
In the face of the strong entry of the Huaxia tank troops, the devil troops with no fortifications to resist and no effective countermeasures instantly became chaotic, which was completely the rhythm of the wolf entering the flock. "Haha, our tank unit is here! Brothers, prepare to counter-charge and kill all the devil's vanguard for me! ”
Standing high and seeing everything in the distance, Pei Jun suddenly lifted his spirits, and immediately took out the walkie-talkie to issue a new combat order. "Brothers, I have avenged you!" After firing several shots in a row, the corpses of devils were all over the field, Huo Yong seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, his face was flushed, his eyes were red, and his body kept trembling!
"Die, little devil!" "Kill!" When they rushed into the effective range, the co-pilots of the tank units controlled the heavy machine guns on the roof of the car, and fired wildly without money, and the angry metal storm formed a curtain of death light. "Baga, the Huaxia tank is dead!" Seeing that their infantry was slaughtered, the devil tank troops couldn't sit still, and they turned around and rushed down the slope.
However, they knew that they could not defeat the heavy tanks in the front row, so they targeted the German No. 4 medium tank in the back. Although Jiang Qiang is not short of money now, and he can completely purchase all the expensive heavy tanks, the size is short and the inch is long, and the tank armored units still have to be diversified to meet the needs of various battlefields.
The Tiger No. 4 tank has rapid mobility and good armor protection capabilities, and is the most balanced tank among the three elements of armor, mobility and firepower, and is the main tank force of the German army. The armor thickness is 80 mm, the vehicle weighs 25 tons, a 48 times the diameter tank gun carries 87 rounds of ammunition, a crew of 5 people, a maximum range of 300 kilometers, and an off-road range of 180 kilometers.
Although the armor thickness and firepower configuration are not comparable to the Tiger tank, it is definitely more than enough to deal with the devil tank in the Chinese battlefield. "Little devils of dog days, when we are soft persimmons? the guys, teach these devil tanks how to behave! Battalion commander, these devil tanks will be handed over to our company to clean up! Shao He, the commander of the tank company who was worried that he could only eat soil after him, suddenly smiled, and he couldn't imagine that these devil tanks would take the initiative to send people's heads!
"Hehe, then let you practice your hands!" Huo Yong didn't snatch people's heads, anyway, there were still a lot of devil soldiers in front of him, which was enough for them to kill happily! "Thank you, battalion commander, the brothers of the second company are rushing!" Shao He yelled, and immediately asked the commander to leave the team and kill the devil tank unit. "Kill!"
The other 13 No. 4 tanks rushed out after him, bringing up a cloud of dust, and the sound of the rumbling motors and the roar of artillery were fired. The 48 times diameter anti-tank gun is not a vegetarian, and the penetration of vertical armor at 100m, 500m, and 1000m is 126mm, 108mm, and 87mm respectively. The tank on which Shao He rode rushed first, and when it entered the effective firing range, it suddenly pressed the fire control switch, and with a bang, he saw the smoke of the devil tank in front of him, and this gun damaged the driving wheel and the right suspension of the devil tank.
"Dog's day, don't die yet!" The first shot failed to destroy, Shao He was very unhappy, and after loading the ammunition, another shot was dried. The cannon pierced the frontal armor of the Devil Tank, which in turn ignited the fuel and ammunition of the Devil Tank, resulting in a series of detonations. In the midst of a violent explosion, the devil tank ignited a raging fire and was completely destroyed.
"Haha, well done, don't stop!" Commander Tao Chenghua laughed and praised, hit the steering wheel, and prepared to outflank the head-on devil tank unit from the side. At this time, the other No. 4 tanks were also exerting their might, and they continued to bombard the devil tank units that rushed up, and after a while, 3 of the Kung Fu Devil tanks burst and 2 began to smoke.
At the same time, the devil tank unit did not stand by and kept firing wildly. The Type 97 medium tank, with a combat weight of 17.2 tons, fires grenades and armor-piercing shells, and carries 120 rounds (80 grenades and 40 armor-piercing rounds). The main gun was a long-barreled 47 mm tank gun. The hull was changed to a welded structure, and the thickness of the armor in the main parts reached 50 mm.
With a muzzle velocity of 825 m/s, the armor-piercing projectile can penetrate 75 mm of armor at a distance of 500 meters and 50 mm of steel armor at a distance of 1200 meters. Therefore, the Devil Tank still poses a considerable threat to the No. 4 tank, especially when it hits the side armor, it has a fatal damage that hits the soul.
The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the medium tank company with a rainbow of morale has no fear, relying on excellent military technology and powerful firepower, constantly wandering and consuming devil tanks. The clash of forces and powers was always simple and crude, and the fierce tank battles lasted less than ten minutes before the curtain came to an end.
The tank troops of the Shandong Group Army finally annihilated all the devil tank units with a casualty ratio of 5 to 14. Although the four tanks that were beaten to the nest were seriously damaged, the casualties were not large, 4 people were killed on the spot and 3 were seriously injured.
"One platoon stays to defend the position, and the rest rush with me! Kill! Seeing that the devil tank troops had all been annihilated, and the tank troops were encircling and suppressing the devil infantry, and there was currently a one-sided situation, Pei Jun no longer continued to forbear, and immediately picked up the Bobosha assault rifle and rushed out with a roar.
"Kill!" The others changed into assault rifles and rushed out after them, like tigers descending the mountain to launch a final kill against the chaotic devil infantry. "Yaga! Tao times change! "I was slaughtering chickens and dogs by the Huaxia Tank Force, and at this time, a group of special forces came to the dragon, and the ghost soldiers were panicked all of a sudden. The shells kept exploding around him, and strings of bullets came like a torrential rain, and the ghost soldiers who were cut into several sections were completely confused, and they only felt that they had become a lonely boat in the stormy waves, and they didn't know where to hide, let alone where to shoot.
"Kill!" Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, where would the Shandong army, which occupied the absolute top, be merciful, the tank troops rampage and crushed frantically, and the infantry was divided and surrounded and annihilated the devil soldiers one by one with powerful firepower. "Yaga, the situation is not good!" "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, what should we do now?"
Hearing the fierce gunfire on the two small highland positions, the devil soldiers hiding in Wang Bian Zhuang began to be worried, originally thinking that it would not take long for reinforcements to capture the two high grounds. But the script didn't follow the routine at all, and after more than 20 minutes of fierce battles, the devil reinforcements not only failed to capture the small heights, but also faced a life-and-death crisis of being annihilated.
"Yaga! Now it's useless for us to go up to support, we will be used as a live target by the Huaxia troops on the small high ground as soon as we emerge now! Devil squadron leader Inagaki Yangdou picked up the binoculars and looked at it, only to see that there were still many soldiers holding their positions on the position of the Shandong Group Army in front of him, and even if he cut off the idea of leading his troops to rush over to support.
"This Shandong Group Army is really powerful!" "How can this be!" "How come the Great Japanese Empire can't even win the Chinese army?" A group of devil soldiers looked gloomy, knowing that standing still at this time is the king, but they felt inexplicable sadness and fear in their hearts, and everything they encountered in the past few days completely subverted the three views: it was not at all as advertised by the domestic media, and the Japanese army was invincible everywhere it went.
"Yaga! Cheer up, the main force of the Great Japanese Empire will soon arrive, and it will definitely be able to wipe out the Chinese army! Everyone held their ground, and they were not allowed to act without my orders. Inagaki Yangdou roared, at this time there was no choice but to grit his teeth and die, otherwise he really had to die.
