"boom!"
"boom!"
The desperate Japanese soldiers set up their machine guns and prepared to shoot. Yuan Li and the others were not polite and fired two shots directly into the soul. In an instant, sandbags and soil were blown up into the sky.
How could this small sentry post withstand the blows of two 37-guns? The dust flying everywhere was accompanied by the remains of several little Japanese corpses.
The sergeant quickly retreated down the mountain with the surviving soldiers. With the few men in his hands, how could they dare to confront the armored troops head-on.
Ten armored vehicles, with their muzzles upright, continued to move forward at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. They rounded the hillside and suddenly found a flat open land in front of them.
And 600 meters behind them, 20 armored transport vehicles and a battalion of infantry followed closely behind.
Yuan Li frowned and stared at the crowded Japanese position not far away. He immediately pressed the intercom button: "Deputy Commander Hong, we are 200 meters away from the Jaap position. We have to speed up. The infantry must keep up. !”
"received!"
After speaking, Hong Mu put down the machine and quickly stood on the vehicle and ordered the soldiers: "Everyone, run up and follow the armored vehicle, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
…
"Enter the defense line!"
"Hayaku! Move..."
"Ready the battle defense artillery!"
There were constant shouts on the Japanese army's position. After receiving the signal, the little Japanese hurriedly entered their posts. Although there was a brief panic, they responded quickly under the command of their respective commanders.
The entire Mangshi garrison consisted of a thousand-man brigade. Except for the strongholds along the highway, most of the Japs' troops were concentrated on the outskirts of the town.
But when they saw dozens of armored vehicles attacking them, all the Japanese soldiers felt their hearts pounding. What the hell is this? When did the Chinese have so many armored troops?
However, no one gave them an answer. The 10 armored vehicles in the front row completed the formation reorganization and rushed towards the enemy in two sagittal formations at full speed.
"Fire!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Artillery shells exploded on the Japanese position, dust flew all over the sky, and gunpowder smoke instantly blocked the line of sight. Ten 37mm anti-tank guns fired in a salvo, covering up the little Japanese in front.
"fight back!"
"Da da da da da..."
boom! boom! boom!
The Japanese immediately launched a counterattack, with various machine gun fire points firing desperately, and grenade launchers firing grenades not to be outdone.
The dense bullets hitting the sdkfz251 armored vehicle only caused countless sparks. The soldiers inside were not affected at all, and even the exploding shrapnel could not cause damage to them.
The bullet-proof grille outside the windshield was ringing continuously. Yuan Li hurriedly grabbed the machine and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Aim at those firepower points and continue to fire to suppress them!"
"Click!"
There were three soldiers in the artillery position behind the vehicle operating the artillery. The main gunner took a rough aim and pushed the shell into the barrel.
"put!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The little devil's position was once again rained with bullets.
"Quick! Cannonball!"
"Crack!"
The main gunner quickly opened the barrel and ejected the shells, and the deputy also hurriedly handed over the shells and loaded the shells again without any hesitation.
"put!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The 37mm anti-tank gun is easy to load and has a relatively fast rate of fire. A skilled gunner can fire 15 rounds in almost a minute.
It's just that it's difficult for the gunners to aim on the moving tanks, but they have the advantage in numbers, so they don't need to shoot too accurately, as long as the firepower covers them.
After the first few rounds of attacks, loopholes began to appear in the Japanese forward positions, and Yuan Li's leading troops were about to rush into the trenches.
"Boom...boom!"
A combat anti-aircraft gun hit one of the armored vehicles. Obviously, the 15mm thick frontal armor could not withstand the blow of the combat anti-aircraft gun. The armored vehicle was directly blasted into a fireball.
"Boom..." Another artillery shell struck. This time the Japanese accurately hit the turret of another armored vehicle. The fire caused the ammunition in the warehouse to explode. With several violent explosions, the armored vehicle instantly became It became a pile of scrap metal, and the soldiers inside were shattered to pieces...
"Damn it! All vehicles disperse! Give us gas, give us gas, and rush in!"
Yuan Li shouted at the top of his lungs, and the remaining eight armored vehicles quickly adjusted their formation, increased the accelerator, and ran over the little Japs on their backs.
Creak, creak, creak, creak…
"Escape!"
"Ah! Help me..."
The tracks made a screeching sound on the ground, and the little Japanese who could still move hurriedly evacuated backwards, while the Japanese who were injured and unable to move could only lie on the ground and wailed.
The armored convoy would not be polite to them, regardless of whether they were corpses or living people. They pressed over them and crushed these island monkeys who did all kinds of evil into flesh.
Seeing that the position was about to be lost, the Japanese commander immediately ordered the soldiers to rush toward the tanks desperately with explosive bags in their hands, attempting to destroy these armored vehicles with suicide attacks.
"Kill! Onboard!"
"Tsktttttttttttttttttttttttttttts...!"
There is also a mounted mg3 machine gun behind each armored vehicle. The machine gunner shoots at the little devils who are charging towards them with their claws and teeth.
The soldiers in the back warehouse also picked up submachine guns and fired at the enemies through the shooting holes in the side armor. The sudden density of projectiles sent these little devils dancing on the spot.
A Japanese man was hiding quietly in the trench. The armored vehicle was less than 10 meters away from him. As the vehicle slowly moved forward, it got closer and closer to his hiding place.
Seeing that the distance was almost there, the Japanese soldier decisively opened the fuse, picked up the explosive bag and jumped:
"The sky falls on board!...Boom!"
The soldiers on the armored vehicle had no time to react. The tracks were blown off by the sudden sneak attack, and the vehicle nest fell to the ground.
Seeing that the attack was effective, more and more little devils rushed over despite the hail of bullets, because they knew that if these armored vehicles were not stopped, the entire position would be penetrated!
This armored vehicle was unable to move due to damaged tracks, and instantly became the target of the Japs' attacks. The bullets crackled against the steel plate, suppressing the soldiers who dared not come forward to fight back.
At this time... the little devil threw two smoking grenades into the open roof of the rear compartment of the armored vehicle.
boom! boom!
The flying shrapnel exploded the soldiers inside into sieves, and the people in the cab were not spared. They were brutally shot by the little Japs who climbed on the roof of the car.
"Damn it, all the cars are coming towards me, don't stop, keep moving forward!"
Yuan Li felt like his heart was bleeding when he saw this scene. Armored vehicles were still inferior to tanks and were too vulnerable to infantry attacks.
Suddenly, there was another commotion in the Japanese defense line. Hong Mu's second echelon also entered the battlefield. They rushed into the Jaap's position through the opening opened by Yuan Li.
The machine gun on the armored vehicle sprayed out fiery snakes, constantly harvesting the enemy's lives. The infantry moved forward under the cover of vehicles. After entering the position, they immediately made a horizontal assault and quickly divided and surrounded the enemy.
The fierce fighting continued, but the Japanese defense line was broken. They were unable to stop the all-out attack coordinated by infantry and vehicles. The Japanese captain had no choice but to order a retreat.
But how could two legs outrun a wheeled half-track vehicle? The 27 armored vehicles did not stop after passing through the Japs' position, but continued to move forward because their target was the last line of defense outside the town.
The infantry behind them had already held back the Japanese troops, and even if they wanted to withdraw to the town and fortify their defenses, it was too late.
More than two dozen armored vehicles rushed into the town of Mangshi like a broken bamboo. The little Japanese who stayed here could not stop the assault of the torrent of steel and had to retreat into the city. The last line of defense was opened by Yuan Li again.
"Get off! Get off!"
With a "bang" sound, the tailgate was opened heavily, and the driver immediately called for the soldiers to get out of the car and prepare for battle.
Each of the twenty armored vehicles that followed behind was fully loaded with a squad of soldiers. After arriving at the location, they began to "unload" more than 200 soldiers in squad units. Under the command of their respective squad leaders, they cooperated with the armored vehicles and gradually cleared the city. .
"Da da da da da...!"
On a small building at the corner, seven or eight little Japs surrounded a Type 92 heavy machine gun and blocked the charging soldiers of the Third Division below.
"Puff puff!"
"Hurry and take cover!"
As soon as the soldiers appeared, the bullets fired from them knocked the three fastest soldiers to the ground, and the remaining people hurriedly hid in the surrounding buildings.
"Monk Zhou, take the two of them to bring me the heavy machine gun upstairs! The others follow my orders for fire cover!" The squad leader leaned against the corner and gave the order decisively.
"yes!"
The bullets from above hit the wall with a hissing sound. The squad leader slightly exposed half of his head and estimated the gap between the opponent's firepower: "One! Two! Three... hit!"
"Bahhhhhhh...!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
The soldiers suddenly leaned forward and opened fire with full firepower. The terrifying barrage covered the firepower point like splashing ink, and the two Japanese machine gunners were instantly beaten to a pulp.
"Quick, get on!"
The soldier named Monk Zhou called his two companions and rushed forward with a shotgun in hand.
But what was unexpected was that a fire snake suddenly shot out of a window on the second floor of this small building, and there was actually a light machine gun ambushed there.
"Da da da da da...!"
"ah!"
Two more people fell in a pool of blood, and Monk Zhou just barely escaped by rolling around.
"Mom, come on! Monk, are you okay?"
"No...it's okay, huh...fortunately, monk, I am blessed with good fortune and good fortune." Monk Zhou replied with lingering fear, leaning against the low wall.
The squad leader was extremely anxious, because the machine gun on the roof roared again, forming two crossfires with the light machine gun on the second floor, directly suppressing them in this corner.
Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak …
At this moment, the sound of tracks running over the road slowly came, and an armored vehicle equipped with a 37 anti-tank gun drove over from behind them.
"Yeah, how the hell did I forget this!" The squad leader slapped his thigh regretfully. Why did they need people to explore the road when they clearly have armored vehicles.
After reporting the situation to the people in the car, the driver immediately turned around and drove towards the small building.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"
The Japanese were still shooting desperately, but the bullets hitting the car could only leave shallow bullet marks and not damage it at all.
"What! Move the machine gun, quickly!" Under the astonished gaze of the Japanese commander Cao, the muzzle of the armored vehicle slowly raised upwards...
"boom!"
Broken bricks and tiles were flying all over the sky, and the Type 92 instantly turned into a pile of debris.
This was not over yet. The gunner quickly turned the wheel and pointed the muzzle at another fire point on the second floor. Without saying a word, he fired another cannon. A large gap was directly blown out of the seemingly thick wall.
The shocked kid didn't dare to stay for a moment, and immediately shouted to evacuate the building.
"Monk Zhou, Li Dagui, go up and kill those birds. Others block the exit. Don't let the little devils escape!"
"Kill!"
The squad leader immediately became energetic and rushed into the building with the remaining soldiers, blocking the Japanese soldiers who wanted to escape in the building.
Scenes like this are now happening everywhere in Mangshi towns.
Although the Japs were huddled in the houses on the street, with the help of armored vehicles, this assault company of about 200 people killed the four to five hundred Japs in the city.
At the same time, the battle on Hongmu's side was almost over. The little Japanese still wanted to put up a stubborn resistance, but the formation, which had been smashed to pieces by armored vehicles, was no longer able to organize an effective counterattack.
After entering the city, Yuan Li detached 15 armored vehicles to support the rear. Isolated and attacked from both sides, the Japanese army finally could no longer hold on, and many Japanese soldiers began to withdraw from the battlefield and flee to both sides of the position.
But they forgot that this was flat land, unlike other places in western Yunnan where there were mountains for cover. If they retreated rashly, they would be shot one by one from behind like rabbits by the enemy.
"Deputy commander, the little devil is going to run away!"
"Run? Can you run away? Run over them and chase them and beat them!"
Hong Mu put the pistol on his waist again, picked up the M3 submachine gun on the ground, and rushed out bravely with his men.
This kid, even if he is now the deputy commander, still can't get rid of the habit of leading the charge. His face is so ferocious that he wants to pick up a knife and chop these Japanese monkeys alive.
Perhaps due to the influence of Chen Jize, the tradition of the entire Third Regiment is like this. The officers always take the lead and rush to the front, and the soldiers rush forward screaming, quite like a desperate Saburo.
…
"Reporting to the regimental commander, Deputy Regiment Hong sent news that the First Battalion has broken through the enemy's defense line, and the Chariot Battalion has also successfully captured Mangshi, and is currently pursuing the remaining enemies."
"Deputy Commander Hong also said... please take people to Mangshi quickly. There are a lot of supplies and prisoners of war that need to be dealt with..."
On the command vehicle, the communications trooper reported the intelligence sent from the front line.
"This brat!" Chen Jize seemed to have three black lines hanging on his face. Did he mistake me for cleaning up the battlefield? Why are you playing so fast?
Chen Jize never expected that he would actually play the role of soy sauce in today's battle. He said nothing and the battle was over before the troops arrived on the battlefield.
Under the joint assault of more than 800 soldiers from the first battalion and 30 armored vehicles from the tank battalion, the Japanese army even managed to hold on for 2 hours before the entire line collapsed. This has to make people lament the power of the armored forces.
"I'll report to you immediately, Mangshi... has been defeated!"
