“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang…!”
More than twenty Shermans led the way, followed by a larger number of Greyhound armored vehicles and half-track personnel carriers.
The machine gunners in the car worked hard, and dense gunfire rained down on the little devils like raindrops. Countless Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
"At two o'clock, the Japanese heavy machine gun position, load high-explosive bombs!" the commander shouted through the observation port.
"yes!"
Bang!
The ejector threw out a smoking shell. The loader, ignoring the sweat on his head, mustered up all his muscles to pick up the shell again and stuffed it into the chamber and closed the safety bolt. The gunner, who was focused and waiting for a long time, immediately Step on the launcher.
boom!
With the loud noise, the machine gun position on the hilltop instantly became a mess. Sandbags were blown into the sky, and broken limbs and fragments were scattered on the ground.
The tank regiment's impact was so fast that only ten minutes had passed since the first sound of gunfire was heard until full contact. The Japanese army's thousands-strong team had no time to react or launch a full defense.
The cold tracks rolled forward, mercilessly crushing the painful and desperate Japanese who fell to the ground until they turned into a pile of meat...
The little devils who overestimated their capabilities rushed towards the tank like crazy and kept shooting at the tank with the rifles and machine guns in their hands. However, in the end, it was a futile effort and they were quickly beaten into pieces by the armored vehicles that followed. One of the corpses on the ground.
"Haha, don't stop rushing forward, penetrate his entire team..."
Phew… ding!
"Depend on!"
Before Hong Mu finished speaking, an unusually tricky bullet shot through the commander's observation hole and began to ricochet wildly in the cabin, scaring everyone in the car to gasp.
Pfft...a spray of blood shot out in an instant, and a stray bullet hit Hong Mu's back shoulder, causing the guy to grimace in pain.
"Captain?"
The loader quickly took out a bandage to wrap it up. The warhead was already embedded in the flesh. Fortunately, the power of the stray bullet had been relieved a lot and it did not cause much damage. However, it was enough for him to drink a pot.
Hong Mu firmly held his injured shoulder, endured the severe pain and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Don't worry about me, increase your power and rush forward. Notify Fan Laosan that the infantry can start unloading."
"yes!"
Although the Japanese army was unable to stop the impact of the tanks, they had the upper hand after all. Some madmen who were not afraid of death began to crawl under the cars with explosive bags in their hands, trying to fight the enemy to the death. If they blew up one or two tanks, they would make a lot of money.
This also forced the commanders of each vehicle to get out of the turret and operate the heavy machine gun on the top to prevent Japanese soldiers from approaching.
However, the tank regiment did not fight alone;
The Greyhound armored vehicles accompanying the tank convoy were also firing on all cylinders. With their good maneuverability, they kept darting left and right among the panicked Japanese troops. Once they found a Japanese enemy rushing over to play with human bombs, they could not help but give him a shot first.
The violent shooting from two large-caliber machine guns and 37-inch rapid-fire cannon made the little Japanese unable to parry, and they retreated back. The front row of defense lines was instantly turned upside down and chaotic by the tanks and armored vehicles that broke into it.
One after another, the Japanese soldiers began to retreat, and their horrified expressions perfectly illustrated their inner feelings at the moment. Use light infantry to stop the advance of the tanks? It's not of the same magnitude at all, it's impossible to play.
This made Sasaki behind him anxious. If this continues, the entire army will collapse.
"Those who are assuming the disease are sick! Don't retreat!"
Sasaki immediately took out his pistol and fired two shots. The two unlucky guys who were running around in panic quickly went to see Amaterasu. Just when he was about to deal with the third one, the Nanbu Fourteen pistol had a high jamming rate.
"Baga!" Sasaki threw away the broken pistol, pulled out his own samurai sword and put it on the soldier's neck: "Pick up the gun and go back to fight!"
The Japanese soldier was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. Seeing the commander of the regiment going on a killing spree, the other little Japs didn't dare to run away anymore, so they had no choice but to turn around and go back. .
"どうしたの? Haha, Kusiro!"
call out···
At this moment, a terrifying roar suddenly came from the sky.
···boom! boom! boom! !
The artillery shells bombarded the middle of the Japanese army one after another, and the impact point gradually extended to the rear. In an instant, flames flew out and countless little Japanese were blown into the sky, pushing the already panicked team to the brink of collapse.
It turned out that this was the work of the artillery battalion of the armored brigade a few kilometers away. Twelve Krupp 105mm howitzers were lined up in a row, pouring firepower madly at the enemy.
In fact, Liao Mingyu didn't plan to equip the armored brigade with artillery units at first, but later he thought about the need to combine infantry, tank and artillery coordination tactics to maximize the combat effectiveness of this unit, so he simply transferred an artillery battalion. Anyway, they also have an independent The transport group has so many infantry fighting vehicles, and it is not easy to drag twelve 105 howitzers.
At the same time as the tank assault, the artillery battalion began to set up positions and calculate the shooting angle. Although it was a little slower than the tank regiment, it was just in time to give the little Japanese the final fatal blow.
The defensive line that the Japanese army had finally organized at the front was easily penetrated by Hong Mu and the others. At this time, the rear doors of the half-track armored vehicles of all the armored regiments opened, and the soldiers filed out from inside. Team units quickly attacked the gap in the Japanese defense line to expand the offensive. .
The armored troops swept in like a tsunami, and the wheeled personnel carriers from the rear were also approaching. More and more infantry began to move forward to encircle. With the coordination of the armored brigade, infantry, tanks, and artillery and the close cooperation of the artillery, the Japanese 67th Regiment Company and a half company They didn't even hold on for an hour and were completely defeated.
The 163rd Regiment behind them was still moving forward, but they collided with the retreating 67th Regiment. As they retreated and advanced, the scene became more and more chaotic. Just now, the Sasaki Regiment decided that they would rather be broken than retreat. The captain quickly left the battlefield surrounded by his men, and the poor Lieutenant Colonel Suzuki was now dead or alive.
The unstoppable armored brigade taught the little Japanese a deep lesson. In less than half a day, more than 6,000 people in the two regiments collapsed. The Japanese army suffered countless casualties. Bicycles were abandoned along the way, and broken limbs were everywhere. The "Silver Troops" that Yamashita Fengfumi is proud of are so vulnerable in the face of the real torrent of steel...
