The beach was filled with gunpowder smoke. Liu Zhaochen took advantage of the smoke and led a few soldiers to rush into a depression next to a bunker. The Japanese heavy machine gun bullets hit the ground and made a "chirp, chirp, chirp" sound.
A second lieutenant led five or six soldiers and rolled and crawled into the depression where Liu Zhaochen and his men were staying. After seeing Liu Zhaochen, he hurriedly asked: "Damn it, where are the Seventh Company? Brothers, you guys?"
Are you from the seventh company, third platoon, third shift?"
"No, we are eight companies and three platoons."
"Then where is the seventh company?"
"You are now at position three on Mawei Beach. The third row of the seventh company should be on our right wing." Liu Zhaochen pointed to the right.
"Ah, these damn bastards actually sent me here, a full three hundred meters away. Are they going to make us crawl forward another three hundred meters?" After saying that, the second lieutenant led a few soldiers to the ground.
He quickly climbed out of the depression on the ground.
At this time, the landing craft behind sent a group of Marines to the beach. There were more and more soldiers on the beach, and the Japanese army also exposed more and more bunkers and surviving fire points, and countless dense bullets
The soldiers on the beach were beaten with blood and flesh everywhere.
Seeing that the attack was blocked, Major General Hou Heng, the captain of the battleship "Zhenyuan", was about to order the naval guns to suppress fire, but was stopped by the chief of staff, "Sir, the beach is full of our people now. If we can shoot down
More of our people died than the Japanese."
"Hey, what kind of battle is this?" Hou Heng was so anxious that he threw off his hat. Now the enemy and we are mixed together on the beach, not to mention bombarding them with 460 mm caliber main guns, but with
The 207mm caliber secondary battery will cause accidental damage to a large area.
At this time, Liu Zhaochen and his platoon, who were struggling to hold on on the beach, suddenly saw several Japanese Type 95 light tanks appearing in front of them. Under the cover of hundreds of Japanese soldiers, they were trying to slowly push them over.
.
The Type 95 light tank is a main light tank used to accompany, guide and cover infantry. Its main weapon is a 37mm rapid-fire cannon. This type of tank has strong movement ability on complex jungle terrain and has a very effective suppression effect on infantry.
protrude.
The 37 rapid-fire cannon on the "Hangbo" Type 95 tank kept firing shells onto the beach, and the infantry around it also kept suppressing the infantry who wanted to get close to the tank.
"Sir, we are surrounded." Liu Zhaochen climbed up next to the company commander, Captain Wang Xiaoguo, and shouted loudly: "The Japanese tanks are so damn annoying, our rocket launchers are out of reach, and our recoilless rifles are too afraid to be exposed.
The naval guns don’t dare to fire heavy shells. It’s too frustrating to fight like this. We’d better take a detour, this is not the place we should be.”
"Okay, order the troops to bypass the woods and attack them in depth. We will take care of them after our armored troops land on the shore." Wang Xiaoguo thought for a while and accepted his subordinate's suggestion.
Wang Xiaoguo led the Eighth Company around the woods to a rocky beach, where the Japanese defense was indeed much weaker.
"Da da da"
A burst of gunfire rang out, and a soldier fell to the ground. It turned out that the Japanese army fired a stream of bullets from a bunker. The soldiers lay on the ground one after another. Liu Zhaochen went around and took out a grenade.
After the safety bolt was pushed back into the bunker, a dull explosion sounded, and all the Japanese soldiers in the bunker were rendered mute.
In the eighth company, any soldier who has never killed anyone with his own hands is not a good soldier. Only soldiers who have seen blood can grow up quickly.
"Damn it, the fire is suppressing, hurry up and suppress the fire." The voice of company commander Wang Xiaoguo rang from the side.
After hearing the order, all the soldiers adjusted their guns to the burst position and pulled the triggers desperately towards the Japanese position.
The Type 56 automatic rifle is a semi-automatic weapon with a ten-round magazine. Unlike the Japanese Type 38 rifle, you have to pull the bolt to fire a round. It is combined with the Somi submachine gun and the mg42 universal
The firepower of the machine gun was unusually powerful, and for a time the Japanese army's position was covered in sand and rocks.
But there was no good way to deal with the Japanese Type 95 tanks 300 meters away. Wang Xiaoguo saw that although suppression shooting could temporarily suppress the Japanese, such shooting consumes too much ammunition, and the soldiers carried
The amount of ammunition cannot withstand several such consumptions.
He looked at the Japanese army on the opposite side and ordered: "Immediately retreat fifty meters and stabilize the battle line."
"Quick, did you hear what the commander said? Move back fifty meters to stabilize the front." Liu Zhaochen grabbed Zhang Yanbo's clothes and pulled him back.
The remaining ninety or so Marines of the Eighth Company retreated fifty meters.
"Quick, set up mortars quickly and stabilize the front." Wang Hongyong and two of his men hurried to the newly selected gun position.
"Two hundred and thirty degrees three-round burst of high-explosive bombs"
"Ready to release"
"It's bad, the Japanese chariots are taking advantage of the situation and rushing over," a soldier exclaimed.
Liu Zhaochen, who hurriedly jumped into a bomb crater, looked up and saw that the remaining three Japanese tanks took advantage of the retreat of the Marines and rushed over. Now they were approaching a distance of less than a hundred meters from the Eighth Company.
The 7.7mm machine gun on the vehicle was firing wildly. Two marines who were shooting at the Japanese troops with rocket launchers were hit by the machine gun and fell to the ground.
After knocking down two soldiers, the turret of a tank slowly turned around and pointed in the direction of Liu Zhaochen, revealing its ferocious muzzle. Liu Zhaochen looked at the black muzzle in despair and spat in his mouth.
, "Damn it, am I going to return here today?"
At this moment, there was a loud "boom", and the Type 95 tank that was about to fire suddenly shook like an epilepsy and then fell apart like a smashed toy, with countless parts flying in the air.
Flying everywhere.
A "Northwestern Tiger" tank with A-28 painted on the turret slowly emerged from the woods more than 200 meters away. After hitting the Japanese tank, its turret swayed left and right.
, aimed at the building and fired another shot. The power of the high-explosive shells equipped with the 100mm smoothbore cannon was fully demonstrated at this moment.
One shot passed over a Japanese machine gun position on the building and was blown to pieces, with countless rubbles scattered in all directions along with blood mist.
All the Marines cheered when they saw the round turret of the "Northwest Tiger" tank. Upon seeing this, Wang Xiaoguo quickly ordered: "Brothers, the brothers from the armored division are here to reinforce us, everyone rush."
