"What? Gong Danian and the others are still up there?"
On the ninth company position, the company commander who had just heard the report from his subordinates picked up the telescope in disbelief.
I could see the continuous sound of gunfire halfway up the mountain. The Japanese army was turned upside down by the tank. They didn't care about the position they were supposed to seize. They were stuck in a dilemma by the opponent.
Seeing the little Japanese who was so pressed that he couldn't lift his head, the company commander's eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity: "Quickly go and notify the artillery company to take a photo on the mountainside!"
"But...isn't Squad Leader Gong up there?" the soldier asked hesitantly.
"It's okay. What are they afraid of in Tie Giao Dao? Hurry up, otherwise those guys will be killed by the Japanese sooner or later."
The company commander didn't take it seriously. The artillery company of the battalion was equipped with 60mm and 81mm mortars. Even if the Sherman was hit by a shot from the front, it wouldn't be painful. On the other hand, those unsuspecting Japanese soldiers would have to drink one. The pot is ready.
Furthermore, if I don't do something and watch them being surrounded by the Japanese, I will feel guilty.
After fighting for most of the day, my company suffered nearly 60% casualties and lost two tanks. It was no longer able to continue the attack.
You must know that if Gong Danian and the others had not stayed behind to block the pursuing Japanese, I am afraid that half of their soldiers would have been left on top.
Looking at the fire on the mountainside, the company commander could only beat his chest and pound his chest, and shelling... was the last bit of help he could do for them.
…
"Huzi, how many shells do we have?" Gong Danian asked hurriedly.
Huzi silently stuffed the shells in his hands into the barrel. He took a deep breath and said, "All the high-explosive shells have been fired. This is the last armor-piercing shell. There are two smoke bombs over there. This is all that’s left of our possessions.”
The situation is getting worse and worse. The two Browning heavy machine guns have run out of ammunition and went out a few minutes ago. The only tank gun is almost out of stock. There is no need to fire it later. Just set a fire to suffocate them. Familiar.
The little devil has also learned a lesson, and no longer rushes recklessly, but keeps keeping a distance to let the skirmishers get closer to the tank, probably because he wants to use explosives to outflank the tank.
"Hit the infantry with armor-piercing bullets... Hehe... I'm afraid the battalion commander will scold his mother if he finds out." The gunner suddenly smiled and said this in a confused manner.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all started laughing. Under the desperate situation, they could only enjoy themselves in misery, which more or less diluted some of the fear of death.
The machine gunner was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed and his face looking sad. However, his left hand tightly held the pilot's hand and refused to let go. The latter fell motionless on the seat. If he looked carefully... half of his head was covered in Broken.
Gong Danian noticed him, sighed and leaned down, comforting him: "Ji Laoliu, cheer up! He just walked over first and waited for us. You will have to kill a few more for him later."
Just when the firepower was fully opened, a bullet that was lucky enough to explode actually bounced in from the driver's observation port. The crazy stray bullet bounced around the car several times, but it was unlucky to hit the person who was helping to change the bullet. on the driver's head.
"Let's go!"
boom!
One shot entered the soul...Twenty meters away, three little Japs who were hiding behind the bunker and wanted to come over instantly flew into the sky. The armor-piercing bullets were directly shattered by the bunker. You can imagine the fate of the people behind them.
The last artillery shell was fired. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They were all worried, and the rest were afraid that they would really fight the Japanese with bayonets.
"There is another M2 outside. Dongzi will fire off the smoke bombs later, and then we rush out together and use the machine gun as the core firepower. Huzi and I provide fire cover. Ji Laoliu and Dongzi collect the ammunition. After that, we immediately return to the tank. Do you understand?" Gong Danian ordered everyone sternly.
"Come on, we have made so much money anyway, let's kill him again!" Huzi picked up an M3 grease gun and was not afraid.
Ji Laoliu's eyes were moist, and he patted the lifeless companion he had been with day and night, turning his grief and anger into strength, and stared at the yellow figures outside the observation mirror.
The four people in the car have all prepared weapons. There is no way out at this moment. All they can do is try their best to kill every one more.
call out……
clang!
An anti-tank shell hit the front of the tank, and the huge kinetic energy caused pain in the eardrums of everyone in the cabin.
Before anyone could react, another armor-piercing round hit the turret, causing fire to splash and leave a deep mark.
Although the 37mm anti-tank gun could not directly penetrate Sherman's steel armor, it could not withstand the heavy firepower. If there were a few more rounds, it would have to be penetrated.
"Dongzi, smoke bomb!" Gong Danian shouted, and at the same time he opened the safety on the top of the turret.
boom!
The smoke grenade directly hit the dirt slope about ten meters away, and the scattered smoke was enough to cover the entire body of the tank.
"The other side is out of ammunition, so go ahead and kill them!"
The little devil also realized the opportunity and was ready to charge again.
Gong Danian no longer hesitated and opened the top cover, turned over and got out first. His target was the M2 heavy machine gun on the turret.
Several other people also quickly left the tank and bent over to collect weapons and ammunition on the ground.
Bang bang bang bang bang...!
The Japanese machine gunner had already seen them, and bullets were fired instantly, forcing several people to retreat behind the tank body.
Wow...
Gong Danian pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded the bullet. Before the effect of the smoke bomb dissipated, he aimed at the Japanese firepower point in front and fired without hesitation.
The 12.7 mm bullet has no logic at all. No matter if it is a bunker or a rock, it will be smashed into pieces. The Japanese machine gunner was beaten badly before he had time to fight back, and the 99-type machine gun in his hand was also blasted. Shredded.
"Quick! Now!"
Gong Danian roared angrily, turned his gun and fired wildly at the enemy's position. The violent fire snake was invincible, and for a moment the little devil was beaten and unable to resist.
Huzi's submachine gun also began to fire at the Japanese soldiers who appeared. Taking this opportunity, Ji Laoliu and Dongzi quickly groped on the ground. The Japanese's long rifles were useless, and they were mainly looking for weapons such as light machine guns and grenades.
…
"Baga! These stupid red deer!"
The lieutenant colonel on the Japanese position was furious. The two sides were mixed together. The heavy artillery behind them did not dare to fire for fear of accidental damage. However, the soldiers who rushed out had no other heavy weapons except the Type 99 with a bayonet. How dare you?
"Report to the captain that they don't have much ammunition anymore. I will send reinforcements immediately. I will definitely..."
Snapped!
The lieutenant mistakenly thought that the superior was dissatisfied with the lack of progress in the attack for a long time, and was about to increase the number of troops again, but what he got in exchange was a loud slap...
"idiot!"
Reinforce your mother? The lieutenant colonel was so angry that he almost drew his sword. He grabbed the opponent's collar and roared impatiently:
"Stop the attack immediately and ask them to retreat! Trash! You don't understand this at all, let the heavy artillery on the top of the mountain destroy it directly!"
