Chapter 384: The devil is in a hurry
"Tank company, keep moving, don't stop, and fire the cannon after a rough aim......"
The tank Zhang Sixing is still useful, but I don't want them to be blown up by the devil's gunboat like that.
At this moment, Zhang Sixing also took an armored car to the riverside, and he was very happy to find that Zhao Huzhen was really a talent in armored warfare. His tanks lined up and ran on a muddy ground by the river.
In front of the mud was a field of reeds, so that although they could not see the enemy ships, the enemy ships could not see them either.
Then Zhao Huzhen ran to the river and observed with a telescope. And according to the distance, bearing, etc., calculate the shooting yuan, and then send someone to run to the river to tell the tank members.
As soon as he arrived here and saw this scene, Zhang Sixing shook his head, not all of the devil's tanks have radios. Most of the time, the driver only knows to follow the lead car.
"Company Commander Zhao, use this tweeter. Ask your men to open the lid so they can all understand. ”
As Zhao Huzhen took over the microphone, he directly told the tank crew the location of the Japanese gunboat through the loudspeaker, and fired at more than a dozen tanks together.
The cannonballs swept through the reeds, and columns of water immediately rose around the devil's clog fleet. Because it was a fire without stopping, the accuracy of the shells was very poor.
The devils also spotted the tanks' fire, and their 80mm guns also fired at the reeds.
However, with the same indirect fire, the tanks are constantly moving, and they are also not so easy to hit the target.
"This method is good, shoot while moving, we won't be beaten and unable to fight back."
Although the cannon roared, it was a pity that everyone was shooting indirectly, so the hit was not accurate, and for a while, no one on either side could help anyone.
It's a pity that the west wind is blowing at the moment, and his gasoline barrel cannon can only hit about 300 meters. There is no way to deal with the gunboats sailing in the center of the river.
Ten meters of kilometers will not last long for a reconnaissance company. Not long after Zhang Sixing came to the riverside, Hu Yang and the others also rushed to the riverside with a "107-mm high-level dual-purpose gun".
Standing on a protruding rock, looking at the gunboats of the four devil "clogs fleet" on the river, Zhang Sixing's teeth itched with hatred.
If it weren't for the last resort, he wouldn't have used the "107 Gaoping dual-purpose rocket artillery" against the gunboats on the river. This thing is a front-facing strike weapon, so it can be said that it is not accurate.
If these gunboats had come earlier, while it was still dark, Zhang Sixing would have dared to drive the delta wing and directly set them on fire with cluster burning eggs. But now, with the machine guns on those gunboats, it was easy to send him away.
The tank companies, which were now unable to move along the reeds, still used indirect fire against the gunboats.
The shells from the gunboats only lifted up patches of reeds. The tanks fired 57-millimeter grenades to support the infantry.
Moreover, the indirect firing, which was also a shooting on the move, was very impressive, and after firing for more than ten minutes, not a single shell hit.
The only good thing is that the teaching team and the Jinling Breakthrough Regiment, which had suffered huge casualties, finally broke through to Niushou Mountain and hid in the mountains and forests to regroup and regroup.
"Sir, just now the devils shelled, we lost more than 500 brothers, sir......"
There was a wisp of crying in Zhou Zhenqiang's voice, and Zhang Sixing could understand the feeling in his heart. After fighting in the middle of the night, even after the city was interrupted, the 6th Division did not suffer such heavy losses.
"They all died for the people who crossed the river, and the brothers in the teaching brigade are all good."
Although Zhang Sixing gave the soldiers of the teaching team a high evaluation, his tone was calm and made people feel a little cold-blooded. But at this time, everyone was convinced.
Because to be emotionally moved by things in battle, that is a chance to survive the battle. And on the battlefield, only those who keep their minds clear at all times can live after the battle.
At this time, it was already seven o'clock in the morning, and the only thing that made Zhang Sixing feel fortunate was that there were no devil fighters at this moment. Through the walkie-talkie, Zhang Sixing got a good news from the old cigarette pouch.
"Sir, we have 10,000 people here, all hiding in the woods and reeds by the river, waiting for the boat. It won't be long before you can cross the river...... Sir, our family is the successor...... Sir, pity our family for generations ......"
"The faster the people over there cross the river, the sooner we can withdraw here, you speed up, and if I have the opportunity, I will ask Jixian and them to cross the river."
On the other hand, what reassured Zhang Sixing was that the Japanese did not have many defenders left in the county town of Ma'anshan, and there was no major problem with Lu Feizhou's situation.
"School balloon ...... of devils"
Just as Zhang Sixing was learning about the problems everywhere through the walkie-talkie, Hu Yang suddenly approached and whispered.
Following the direction of his finger, several school-shooting airships were slowly flying into the sky.
No need to ask, it's a school-shooting airship equipped on a devil's gunboat. As soon as they rise, their artillery shots become more and more accurate, eventually destroying the tank companies that were hiding behind the reeds and firing black guns.
"them with a machine gun."
With Zhang Sixing's order, Hu Yang took a few people to the river, set up the HMG42 machine gun, and shot at the higher and higher school shooting airship in the center of the river.
The technology of the Japanese is much stronger than that of China, but it is far worse than that of the old European industrial powers. At least their airship still uses hydrogen, and a few tracer eggs will do the trick.
During World War I in Europe, airships were initially almost invincible, and only a few small holes were hit by bullets. However, an airship full of hydrogen will be dumbfounded when it encounters a single incendiary egg or tracer egg every few bullets. Originally, this kind of bullet that could take out the hydrogen airship was called "Buckingham".
With a salvo of several boat machine guns, the effective firing range of the HMG42 of one and a half hundred meters played a huge role. As the tracer eggs pierced the school-shooting airship, it began to leak and then burned and fell.
This action stunned all the soldiers who saw it, probably because no one had ever shot the devil's school-fired balloon with a machine gun. Or think that thing can't be shot down with a gun.
Watching the huge balloon fall towards the gunboat below, Zhang Sixing suddenly shouted,
"Populus euphratica is ...... Hurry up and smash those little devils with 107......"
Hu Yang didn't have time to think about it at all, so he personally ran to the side of the "107 Gaoping Dual-purpose Rocket Artillery" that had been erected a long time ago, and then adjusted the shooting of Zhu Yuan, and then began to launch.
With the sound of "swish", a row of rocket eggs flew towards the slow-moving gunboats in the center of the river.
And at this time, the school shooting airship that had just fallen unexpectedly from the devil gunboat was just on top of a gunboat.
Oh, I see, sir, I saw the cloth falling on the gunboat, and wanted to burn the gunboat for him.
However, when the rocket eggs fell one after another, Hu Yang's heart rose again:
The accuracy of this rocket artillery is really poor, and it is not as good as a tank gun.
