"Don't mess up, build a defense line!" The squad leader yelled at the top of his lungs, but his voice was quickly covered up.
Build a woolen yarn, the panicked little devil would have dispersed, no matter what the hell he ordered or not.
Some of the Japanese soldiers who were smarter still raised their guns and fired, but in front of this armored soldier, the 38 caps in their hands seemed so weak, and they were torn to pieces by the .50 machine gun in an instant.
"Brother! What should we do?" Takeshiro's face turned pale, and bullets flew past his head, making his hands holding the rifle tremble in fear.
"Run quickly, do you want to stay here and wait to die?"
The sergeant grabbed him by the collar and ran away, asking, what else can I do now besides running?
The squad leader not far away was still trying his best to restrain the panicked team, but the soldiers were frightened and ran away without obeying his orders.
"Baga! You..."
boom!
A cannonball landed at his feet, and the squad leader's body was lifted into the air as easily as a feather. When it fell, his thighs were gone, and there were still a pair of eyes that remained on the bloody corpse.
The sound of gunfire continued, and these dozen Sherman tanks had no intention of letting them go. Seeing that the squad leader was killed, the Japs squad became even more chaotic. In just a few minutes, the Japanese soldiers who fled in panic were attacked by the tank machine guns. Under strafing fire, they quickly turned into corpses.
"Bah! I can't help but fucking beat him!"
Hong Mu let go of the smoking machine gun, took a magazine from the gunner's hand and reloaded the machine gun. The other soldiers of the armored brigade still looked unsatisfied. Obviously, this reconnaissance team with more than forty people was not enough for them. Between the teeth.
"Zizzi...Shout to the tank regiment and report the current situation? Please answer when you receive it."
The voice of the rear liaison officer came over the radio. Hong Mu grabbed the communicator and said casually: "We encountered a Japanese team in the front, and basically wiped them all out. There were no casualties in the tank regiment."
"Roger that, Zizi... Please keep the same speed with the armored vehicles at the rear and keep moving forward. The Japanese troops are right in front."
"clear!"
Hong Mu put down the communicator, leaned out half of his body from the turret and shouted to the surroundings: "Boys, cheer up and keep moving forward. Let's give the little devil a big greeting gift!"
"yes!"
Pungent smoke spurted out from behind the butt of the tank, and its tracks made a loud noise. It pressed over the corpses of Japanese soldiers on the ground and started moving again. Behind them, more armored vehicles were slowly following...
The deafening sound of artillery echoed across the plain, and the Japanese army two kilometers away could hear it very clearly.
This place is so far away from the main battlefield, how can there be enemies? But Captain Sasaki, who was resting, was so frightened that the soldiers became nervous and kept looking forward.
"どうしたの? Sasaki-kun!?"
"Naruto, prepare the troops for battle and bring up the artillery!" Sasaki ordered calmly while suppressing his emotions.
The sound of artillery was only a few kilometers away. It should be that the reconnaissance team in front was fighting with the enemy, but he was not sure, so he could only let the troops establish a defense line and prepare.
After hearing the commander's order, all the Japanese mobilized. The soldiers of the 67th Regiment immediately began to move forward. The mortars and mountain cannon parts placed on the bicycles were also quickly removed and artillery positions were established in place.
"Ha Ya Ku! Seize the high ground and build a machine gun firepower point..."
"Bring up the ammunition box..."
"The Fifth Battalion goes to the left wing, pay attention to the northwest..."
The Japanese army was busy for a while, but only about ten minutes passed. Before the busy little devils had completely arranged the defense line, they heard bursts of roaring sounds coming from directly in front.
Just at the end of their sight, a cloud of dust rose into the sky. Everyone was stunned by this scene. For a moment, they forgot what they were doing and stared blankly ahead.
"Nani!?"
Sasaki's eyes instantly turned red. How could there be so many enemy armored forces here?
Sharp whistles came one after another, and Captain Cao in the Japanese army blew his whistle quickly to call for the soldiers to defend. However, when they saw the sky-swallowing momentum on the opposite side, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
"Close the hatch and prepare to fight!"
Leading the platoon were the sixteen 75mm 4a3e8s and nine A2 short-bodied Shermans in the tank regiment. Under the command of Hong Mu, all the crews closed the hatch on the top of the turret, and the driver ran forward at full power. The loader pushed the unsafe shell into the gun bore, the gunner had already aimed the target with the sight, and the machine gunner pulled the bolt and loaded the gun in place!
Dozens of tanks were galloping across the plains at alarming speeds, their tracks carving trenches on the ground, and they were heading towards the Japanese army with the roar of their engines.
"璃撃する!"
boom!
boom…
The impatient Japanese artillerymen opened fire first. Mortar shells and mountain artillery fired at the incoming tanks. The rumbling sounds of various explosions were endless...
"Hold on!"
boom!
One after another, artillery shells fell on the convoy, and the shrapnel exploded around them clanked on the car body. The fire blocked the line of sight, and gunpowder smoke filled the air instantly...
Just then, a 75-meter cannon shot hit the vehicle Hong Mu was in. The huge explosion made people's eardrums hurt, and the inside of the tank also shook.
"His grandma's!"
Hong Mu held the leather hat on his head and cursed loudly, feeling a little scared in his heart. Fortunately, the Sherman's frontal armor was strong enough, and the 75mm mountain cannon could not hurt them at all.
The little devil was quite satisfied with the effect of the fire coverage, but as the smoke dissipated... the result was a big shock. The opponent's tank convoy was actually intact, and those tall iron lumps continued to move towards them.
"All tank crews continue to move forward. Armored convoys pay attention to avoidance. Destroyers... stop for me and blast him, son of a bitch!"
As soon as Hong Mu finished speaking, the tank in the front row opened fire first. Although the accuracy of the shooting while moving was not very good, dozens of shells still caused chaos in the little devil's position.
The half-track destroyer equipped with a pak40 anti-tank gun stopped one kilometer away. The gunner quickly adjusted the angle and began to counterattack.
boom!
boom!
At such a close distance, the direct-aiming cannon hardly needed much calibration. The shells accurately hit the front ranks of the Japanese army. Countless little Japanese were bombarded to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers.
"Fire! Fire all! Occupy the high ground on both wings to block the enemy!"
The Japanese forward machine gun fire points immediately started firing, and mortars and grenades also joined in. But in the face of that unstoppable big guy, what effect can small bullets have? Instead, they were knocked off their feet by the opponent's shells.
Seeing that they could not stop the enemy at all, the little devil began to panic. In order to maintain speed, the entire team did not carry large equipment at all. The only heavy firepower was the detachable 75mm Type 41 mountain cannon, but that thing did not work at all.
It was too late, but then it was too late. The two sides were less than a kilometer apart, and it was a vast plain. In just a few minutes, the tank regiment mercilessly crashed into the Japanese army with lightning speed. Among…
