Chapter 562 Head of Security Team: Taijun, you asked us to blow up tanks, but we don't know how to do it. How about you demonstrate?
After formulating a battle plan, Wang Chengzhu immediately led the soldiers of the Second Independent Regiment to launch an attack from the east gate under the cover of artillery fire.
At the same time, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Cheng Xiazi also launched attacks from several other directions.
Under the violent bombardment of the 386 Brigade artillery group for more than half an hour, the four city gates and the city wall near the railway entrance and exit collapsed to varying degrees. The soldiers could completely rush through the buffer zone formed by the collapse of masonry and rammed earth.
Enter the city.
As for the second independent group, it is even simpler.
Wang Chengzhu personally controlled a Type 97 medium tank to clear the way in front of him. When he was about 50 meters away from the city gate, he directly fired a kinetic energy cannon.
The next moment, there was a loud "boom", and the wooden and iron city gate was suddenly blown to pieces. The fragments flew in all directions along with the violent shock wave, and fell everywhere inside the city gate hole.
Immediately, Tiedan stepped on the accelerator, and the tank roared, then accelerated and rolled forward.
Almost as soon as the tank passed through the city gate and entered the city, a dense rain of machine gun bullets poured in.
"Dang-dang-dang!——"
The 7.7mm caliber bullet hit the front armor of the tank. Although it splashed eye-catching sparks again and again, it was unable to penetrate it at all.
Wang Chengzhu did not tolerate the opponent. After locking the target through the observation window, he decisively loaded the artillery shells and opened fire.
"Boom!"
A red light flashed from the muzzle, and then a 57mm caliber kinetic energy cannon spun out at high speed.
After flying at a low altitude for a distance of more than 100 meters, the shell hit the Japanese barricades with precision as if it had eyes and exploded violently.
"Boom!"
In the fire that rose from the ground, the sandbags immediately fell apart, and all the Japanese soldiers behind were blown away, including their weapons.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining four Type 97 medium tanks also drove into the city along the opened city gate.
The infantry of each battalion of the Second Independent Regiment entered the city one after another from the buffer zone of the city wall and the city gate opening.
By this time, the tank convoy had removed the enemy's peripheral firepower points, freeing up a relatively safe area for the infantry.
The infantry took advantage of the situation and entered the city. Under the guidance and cover of the tanks, the soldiers rushed towards the central area of the city.
Although the Japs in the city have deployed a large number of barricades in various streets and alleys in the city in advance, since they do not have anti-tank weapons, they are completely live targets when facing the King of Land Warfare. They can easily destroy a building with a single launch of energy cannons.
Barricade fortification.
When the news came back to the regiment headquarters, Yoshida Hiroshi couldn't help but look confused: "Baga! How come there are tanks on Tubal Road?"
Chief of Staff Makoto Akita: "Perhaps they were captured in previous battles. These tanks pose too great a threat to the imperial army. We must find a way to destroy them!"
Yoshida frowned and thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Now, we don't have anti-tank weapons such as anti-tank guns, so we can only organize death squads to carry out explosions like the China Army did.
Order all units to immediately organize death squads to blow up the Eighth Route Army tanks!"
"Hiyi!"
Akita nodded seriously, then turned and left to deliver the order in person.
…
The screen is pulled back to the dc area.
Under the guidance and cover of the tank convoy, the Second Independent Regiment easily advanced several hundred meters and destroyed several Japanese barricades, killing hundreds of enemies.
The remaining Japanese soldiers soon discovered that the barricade fortifications were not enough to withstand the Eighth Route Army's recommendations, so they decisively abandoned the barricade fortifications and instead entered private houses on both sides of the street to build up flank fire.
Wang Chengzhu knew that as soon as the battle started, the people in the city would definitely hide in a safe position, so he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Tiedan, these little devils have gotten into the houses on both sides, and opened the doors!"
"receive!"
Tiedan promised, and then turned the direction, and the tank turned and drove towards the houses on one side of the street.
Most of these houses are made of wooden structures, and some are made of masonry, but they cannot stop the rampage of tanks at all.
There was only a loud "bang" sound, and a private house collapsed. The Japanese inside were immediately buried by the ruins of the collapsed building, and screams continued for a while.
The tank continued to advance, crushing their bodies directly and ending their sinful lives.
Some of the surviving Japanese soldiers just pushed aside the building debris above their heads, and then a dense rain of bullets poured over them...
While the Second Independent Regiment launched a fierce attack, the Japanese machine gunners deployed at various high points also opened fire. In a hurry, the unprepared battalions of the Second Independent Regiment were immediately swept away by many people.
The Second Independent Regiment also reacted quickly. The soldiers immediately dispersed and hid under the eaves of houses on both sides of the street, and then fired back with guns.
While the dense rain of bullets suppressed the Japanese machine gunners from raising their heads, the grenadiers also set up their grenades and reloaded the shells decisively.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom!"
In the streaks of fire that rose into the sky, the Japanese machine gunners hiding in the dark were blown away with their weapons and people.
…
In other directions, although the New Regiment, the Independent Regiment and other units did not have tank convoys to guide and cover them, after the Battle of Jinzhong, they also had many ways to deal with the Japanese barricades.
Nowadays, each regiment of the 386th Brigade can be said to be very rich. Although it is not as good as the Second Independent Regiment and has also formed a fleet of tanks, it still has a lot of grenades.
Barricade fortifications can only block machine guns, rifles and other direct-aimed light weapons, but they cannot block mortars, grenade launchers and other direct-aimed artillery.
The New Regiment, the Independent Regiment and other units first used grenades to wash the ground and destroy the Japanese barricades, and then launched the attack.
As a result, although the speed was much slower than that of the Second Independent Regiment, it was not hindered in any way.
…
Soon, Yoshida Yan's order was conveyed to the front line of the DC area.
Kazuo Kawashima glanced at Liu Fugui, the leader of the security group next to him, rolled his eyes, and said in somewhat broken Chinese: "Liu Sang, on behalf of the Imperial Japanese Army, I will now arrange a glorious mission for you!"
When Liu Fugui heard this, he must have something bad in mind, but he still had to bite the bullet and said: "Kawashima Taijun, please tell me."
Kazuo Kawashima: "You, immediately transfer some soldiers from the security regiment to organize a death squad to blow up the tanks on Tubal Road!"
"As long as you succeed, the imperial army will be rewarded greatly!"
Liu Fugui scolded his mother in his heart, thinking: How about a big reward? You little devils are really bad, and you want us to die.
Although Liu Fugui was unwilling in his heart, he did not dare to show it at all. He lowered his head and said weakly: "Well... Kawashima Taijun, our security team has no experience in this area, so we won't know how to do it."
ah.
Otherwise, you should send a few Taijun to blow up the tanks, they will definitely succeed immediately!"
…
Chapter completed!
