And Captain Fujita Kon, who was the commander on the side, thought so in his heart.
The two infantry squadrons ambushed here were temporarily formed using baggage and engineers.
There are only 9 light machine guns and 7 grenade launchers. How can they still stop the Patriot Army's tank attack?
However, the tanks of the Patriot Army have now reached about 300 meters, and Fujita has no chance to escape.
And this distance is also the best range for the flat-fire cannon. The Fuso artillery opened the breech of the gun, took out the Type 12 37mm piercing bomb, stuffed it into the bore of the Taisho 11-year flat-fire cannon, and aimed at the Sherman tank that was leading the way.
"Boom!"
Two 37mm artillery shells flew out of the barrel and hit Sherman's round face with a roar.
"Boom!"
Unexpectedly, after the smoke cleared, the Fuso soldiers were unexpected. They imagined that if the tank was hit by a flat-firing artillery fire, it would immediately burst into flames. But why didn't the tank of the Patriot Army fail to do anything!
"Nani, keep shooting!" Akai quickly ordered the Japanese soldiers to continue loading and shooting.
In fact, this cannot be said to be because the Sherman tanks are thick-skinned. The main reason is that the flat-fire cannon they use today is too rubbish. It is the product of the Fuso Kingdom's imitation of the Gaul M1916 37mm infantry cannon.
At a distance of 400 meters, it can penetrate a 15 mm thick steel plate. With this poor armor-piercing strength, you can say it has armor-piercing ability, or you can say it doesn't.
The tank commander was the first to respond and quickly detected the enemy's situation through the periscope. "The Japanese soldiers are loading white phosphorus bombs in the buildings that look like hotels at 11 o'clock directly ahead. Let's show them how powerful they are!"
"Boom!"
Taking advantage of this time, the Fuso artillery fired two more shells, and several Taisho 11-year-old light machine guns also aimed at the tank and sprayed out tongues of fire "Bang! Bang! Bang!".
However, to Xie Mantou, this kind of attack was no different from scratching an itch. The soldiers around the tank quickly hid behind the tank's butt.
Although Xie Mantou did not have a loader, the strong loader still stuffed the M88 white phosphorus round into the gun barrel within ten seconds. The gunner had already aimed at the target, and several tanks spewed flames from their muzzles.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Several rounds of white phosphorus bombs roared and crashed into the building where the Japanese soldiers were hiding. The shock wave of the shells destroyed the building with a devastating force. The bloody stumps of more than a hundred Japanese soldiers were scattered along the glass, bricks, and dust. , gunpowder smoke filled the sky.
"Ah!" The few surviving Japanese soldiers were lucky enough not to die in the explosion, but they were entangled in the scattered white phosphorus. They were so painful that they rolled and crawled out of the ruins howling miserably.
They fell to the ground and rolled around in a mess of feces and urine. The unbearable pain made them lose their minds and directly scratched their fingers into the burned flesh, trying to dig out the burning white phosphorus in their bodies alive.
"Ta! Ta! Ta!" The tank machine gunner operated the coaxial machine gun and beat the struggling Japanese soldiers in front of him into a sieve, leaving the tank commander speechless.
In fact, white phosphorus bombs can burn for a long time, allowing these Japanese soldiers to enjoy the burning pleasure. Unexpectedly, the machine gunner directly fired, allowing them to die comfortably.
"Guys, change to high-explosive bombs and continue, razing those buildings to the ground!" The commander looked at the ruins in front of him, put down the radio after speaking, leaned out half of his body, and ordered to the infantry outside the tank:
"You immediately go check the alleys on both sides of the street, and then continue to advance directly in front of us. The buildings along the street will be temporarily handed over to us. The remaining soldiers will follow our tanks and continue to advance forward."
With the urinary nature of Fuso people, they will definitely not put all their eggs in one basket.
"Understood, sir." After saying that, several platoon leaders quickly led hundreds of infantrymen into the alley.
"Stop here for the bombardment first. Agile machine gunners, follow my guidance!" The commander did not get into the tank, but controlled the M2HB heavy machine gun on the turret and fired at the buildings on both sides of the street.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The machine guns on the three leading Sherman tanks were at full fire. A total of 6 M1919A4 machine guns and 6 M2HB heavy machine guns were spitting fire, intertwining into an airtight and deadly network of fire in the air.
"Click! Click! Click!"
"Da da da!"
Although the main road is not an asphalt road, it is quite wide. The infantry squad also leaned next to the tank and set up the MG42 general machine gun to test the firepower.
The ammunition for the vehicle-mounted machine guns of the Patriot Army was also mixed with a small amount of tracer bullets. The shots were like a colorful downpour, shooting densely towards the street ahead and onto the walls of the buildings on both sides of the road.
It just so happened that there were more than two hundred remaining Japanese soldiers hiding sparsely on the first and second floors of these buildings along the street.
Many Japanese soldiers also had explosive bags tied to their bodies. It was obvious that this was Kamio Katsumi’s little plan.
They wanted to use human bombs and wait for the tanks to approach, then launch a surprise attack to kill the Patriot Army.
However, its little abacus did not succeed, and instead the abacus beads jumped on its face.
During this period, the walls of most buildings in various countries were not reinforced concrete, and the penetrating power of the Browning M2HB heavy machine gun was so powerful.
It is said that after using armor-piercing projectiles, it can easily penetrate and destroy Fuso Kingdom's Type 95 tanks at a distance of 500 meters. Hitting the walls of these masonry structures is like chopsticks poking tofu.
The Japanese soldiers in the building watched helplessly as several teammates beside the wall were hit by blindly fired 12.7mm ammunition. They were instantly beaten into corpses, and their intestines and other internal organs were broken out and swirled in the air.
When the commander of this squadron, Lieutenant Makichi Tsunezan, saw this, his face turned pale instantly and his heart was trembling with fear.
What the hell kind of machine gun is this from the Patriot Army? It cuts people into heroic pieces.
After the Japanese soldiers died in battle, how could they enter the Fuso Yasukuni public toilet as they wished?
Seeing that the Patriot Army was unable to catch it, Makichi decided to take the initiative and shouted at the top of his lungs, "The Patriot Army has discovered us. The Imperial Warriors cannot die worthless. Attack me!"
"Warriors of the Empire, let's meet at the public restroom of the Empire, please give me a chance!"
Under the bloody offensive of several squad leaders, hundreds of Japanese soldiers carried explosive packs on their backs as if they were dead. They took the only three light machine guns and leaned out of the building.
The attack was launched from the front, responsible for attracting tank firepower. The remaining Japanese soldiers went through the back door, trying to penetrate behind the Patriot army through the tunnel to complete their self-destruction.
Under the cover of three 11-year-old light machine guns, these Japanese soldiers spread out in multiple triangular formations, taking turns to cover and launch an attack like a mantis' arms acting as a chariot.
"Tian Nong Hei Ka, onboard!"
"I'll give it to you, onboard!"
I have to say that if this tactic is supported by a small number of infantry artillery, mountain artillery, and field artillery, it will not be a problem to deal with the current warlord troops in China.
But if it is used to deal with the Patriotic Army who are armed to the hair, it is just as ridiculous as the President of The Gambia clamoring to destroy the Rakshasa Kingdom in three days.
The light and heavy machine guns of the Patriot Army's tanks and infantry, as well as eight M19 60mm mortars, have already been set up, and they have been waiting for a long time with their magazine boxes replaced.
He waited for the Japanese soldiers to wash their necks and then killed them. When he saw the remaining Japanese soldiers launching an attack, he decisively pulled the trigger and opened fire, shooting wildly at the charging Japanese soldiers.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Da da da!"
"Click! Click! Click!"
Within 10 seconds, the M19 60mm mortar silenced the light machine guns behind the Japanese soldiers.
In fact, these Japanese soldiers were also equipped with three 10-year-old grenade launchers, but these were no match for the Type 89 grenade launchers, with a range of less than 200 meters. The grenade launcher had probably already fallen into the ground.
Without the fire cover of grenades and machine guns, the hundreds of Japanese soldiers responsible for the frontal charge had no time to take advantage of their marksmanship.
In an instant, like wheat in a wheat field, it was ruthlessly harvested by more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, plus dozens of rifles of various types, and fell on the road of the onboard charge.
Among them, which Browning M2HB heavy machine guns with sights on the tanks performed the most dazzlingly.
I have to say that there is a reason why this weapon has endured for a long time and has been loved by the Sam Army for hundreds of years. After adding the M73B1 optical sight, the accuracy of the M2 heavy machine gun is simply ridiculously high.
In addition, using Barrett's 12.7×99 mm ammunition of the same caliber, which has a kinetic energy of 22,000 joules, there are basically no whole bodies of the Japanese hit by it.
The bullets of the Patriot Army were like a hurricane passing through, leaving only pieces of meat on the ground. This violent and cruel firepower made Makichi and the remaining dozen Japanese soldiers hiding in the building fearful. They were really at the end of the road!
Thinking of his little wife who was still waiting for him at home in Osaka, Makichi had completely lost the courage to continue resisting. Your Majesty, this battle is really impossible to fight!
Although it was rumored that the Patriot Army would never leave a single person alive when dealing with the Fuso people, Muji had a sense of luck. He felt that this was a trick by Fuso senior officials.
The Chinese have always followed rules. How could they massacre surrendered soldiers?
Thinking of this, Muji took a deep breath and turned his attention to the remaining dozen or so Japanese soldiers.
Although most of the troops of the 18th Division come from the Fuso Kurume area, there are still a small number of soldiers from other areas mixed in the troops.
Most of the people in front of him were his fellow countrymen. Muji said: "Warriors, we have done our best for the empire and His Majesty Tianlocust. Surrender now!"
The remaining dozen or so Japanese soldiers were actually frightened by Weiguo's inhumane firepower.
Hearing this, he also began to undress impatiently and took off the Thousand Needles Abdominal Roll on his abdomen.
