Unlike the furious Li Chenzhe, at the anti-tank gun position more than 300 meters away from Li Chenzhe, the sergeant commander and the four Japanese soldiers next to him let out a cheer together.
Their sergeant commander, who destroyed a tank, was so excited that his whole body trembled. He shouted loudly: "Quick... keep loading! We are going to wipe out all these Chinese tanks!"
"Hai!"
The Japanese soldier, whose eyes were red from the stimulation of the victory just now, loaded another artillery shell as quickly as possible. The sergeant commander took aim and fired it.
"Bang!"
It must be said that the sergeant commander's aiming skills were indeed good. This armor-piercing projectile hit Li Chenzhe's car which was driving slowly.
It was just that the angle of penetration was too great this time, and the armor-piercing bullet bounced off after grazing the side of the turret. But even so, Li Chenzhe was shocked.
"Damn it, he's not done yet!"
Li Chenzhe was annoyed. Anyone who was bombarded with anti-tank guns over and over again would be furious.
He rotated the turret around, trying to find the location of the sneak attack, but he still saw a cloud of smoke on the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke.
Japanese soldiers are already short, and the minimum height limit for conscription is only 1.5 meters. According to this standard, they can barely buy half a ticket when traveling in China and taking the train. Of course, if they are still children. In addition, they have to bend down as much as possible to keep their height down.
These cat-waisted Japanese soldiers were like yellow-brown grave mounds in the wilderness. Where could Li Chenzhe see them?
"No, do we have to do something cruel now?"
He realized that the opponent's anti-tank guns were well concealed, and if he didn't do something, his troops would definitely continue to suffer losses.
He grabbed the microphone and dialed the communication channel of the whole regiment: "Attention all battalions, I am Gecko No. 1. All units keep their distance and pay attention to search for Japanese anti-tank artillery fire. The tanks in front conduct fire reconnaissance and find suspicious
Target fire immediately!"
"clear!"
Although there are not many anti-tank artillery deployed by the Japanese army on the second position, the total number has reached more than 20. There are still more than 10 that survived the shelling and bombing just now. At this moment, they are desperately moving towards the slowdown.
The slowing tank opened fire.
Under the desperate blocking of the Japanese army, the armored regiment's charging speed was stagnant for a time. The tanks in front had to stop and wait for the infantry behind to follow. However, they did not sit idle. Instead, they used machine guns and the four-door gun on the tank.
The 17mm L/40 tank gun fired at the suspicious target in front.
"boom!"
"Boom boom..."
Artillery shells continued to explode on the Japanese army's position, and even several artillery shells fell around Colonel Yoshikawa Akira. In just an instant, the rain of bullets fell. Colonel Yoshikawa Akira pressed his body tightly against the trench.
I felt that the surrounding mountains were shaking for a while, and the previously silent land was suddenly shrouded in thick smoke and yellow-brown soil that was blown into the air. Countless hot shrapnel were crushed into pieces by the shock wave of the artillery shells and hit high in the air.
The object stopped behind him and raindrops fell on him.
More and more artillery shells were flying, and the dense artillery shells would almost tear the earth into pieces. Colonel Yoshikawa Akira, who was lying in the trench and covered in dust, could also see several broken and blown limbs around him.
The clothes had been torn apart by the violent shock wave, revealing white flesh and blood. The strips of cloth, stained with blood and mixed with yellow-brown soil, dragged an arc in the air and landed elsewhere. You could also see the pieces of cloth floating in the air with the shock wave of the shell.
scrap.
"Baga, we can't let them shoot at us so freely!"
Colonel Yoshikawa Akira understood that there were nearly a hundred Chinese tanks on the opposite side. If they were allowed to open fire in front of his position with such arrogance, he would no longer be able to defend his position.
"Anti-tank gun, fire quickly!"
"Boom boom..."
Anti-tank guns kept firing at the Chinese tanks in front from hidden places, and due to the close distance, many of them hit the target. But what disappointed them was that their Type 94 anti-tank guns
The armor-piercing ability is too poor to be able to do anything against the 50 mm thick Chinese tanks. It can only leave two deep concave marks on their turrets...
"idiot!"
Colonel Yoshikawa Akira felt depressed. In the battle just now, their Type 94 anti-tank guns used the terrain to hit the weakly armored tails of several Chinese tanks, achieving great results. But later, these Chinese tanks also learned to master it.
, they always aimed the front part with the thickest armor at their own position. Even if their anti-tank guns hit the opponent's front armor, they could not destroy them. On the contrary, several artillery pieces were destroyed by the opponent's tanks because their positions were exposed.
The shelling shot up into the air.
Seeing the opponent's tank guns continuously firing shells at his own side, Colonel Yoshikawa Akira knew that if the opponent's bombardment was allowed to continue, this position would be lost sooner or later.
He summoned a squadron leader and dozens of soldiers, and ordered to gather all the explosive packets, grenades and other items that could be collected around him. He said to them seriously: "Gentlemen, the Chinese tanks have now arrived.
In front of our position, it is difficult for our anti-tank guns to penetrate their armor, so I need a group of soldiers who dare to stand up. Who among you is willing to stand up voluntarily?"
There was silence all around. After a while, more than a dozen soldiers came out one after another and stood in front of Yoshikawa Akira.
"Yoshi! Those who can stand up are all warriors of the Japanese Empire." Yoshikawa Akira nodded approvingly, and then his face sank and he said: "However, this number of people is not enough. Since you are unwilling to take the initiative to stand up,
Then let me make the decision for you."
After speaking, Yoshikawa Akira pointed at some people casually, "You... you... you... and you all, please come out. The time has come when the Empire of Japan needs your sacrifices. Now everyone go over and carry a pack of explosives!
"
"Hai!"
One after another, people picked up the explosive packs and carried them behind their backs. In the end, only a young soldier was left standing there in a daze.
Yoshikawa Akira's eyes flashed with ferocity, he strode over, stretched out his hand and gave him a slap in the face.
"Baga, why don't you carry explosives on your back!"
This was a young private. He lowered his head and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, Colonel, I...I...are afraid that I will never see my mother again!"
"You bastard!" Akira Yoshikawa was so angry that he slapped him again. "The first people to die on the battlefield are cowards like you."
After speaking, Yoshikawa Akira reached out and grabbed a bag of explosives, and personally tied the bag of explosives to his back. Then his face softened and he said: "You have to remember, you are a soldier of the Empire of Japan! From now on!
From the moment you put on this military uniform, until the day you retire, your life no longer belongs to you, do you understand?"
"Hai!"
"May I have your name?"
"Your Excellency, Colonel, my name is Ryota Iwasaki."
"Yoshi, Ryota Iwasaki, go ahead and fight like a real warrior. The Emperor is watching you, and countless people in the Empire of Japan are watching you. Your only mission is to blow up China. As long as you are a human tank, your mother will be happy for you, do you understand?"
"Hai!" Ryota Iwasaki nodded heavily with a cry in his voice.
Following Yoshikawa Akira's order, more than 20 Japanese soldiers jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the Chinese tanks in front. The crater caused by the previous shell now became their best bunker. They relied on large and small Small craters continued to move slowly forward.
But soon, their actions were noticed by the tank crews in front. The 12.7-caliber machine gun equipped on the tank also fired. Countless bullets swept around the Japanese army like hail, and several of them were caught off guard. After being hit by large-caliber bullets, the Japanese soldier detonated the explosives on his body, causing a burst of explosions.
Iwasaki Ryota's mind was blank at this time. He only knew that he kept running from one crater to another. If he took such a slow step in the middle, he would follow in the footsteps of some of his companions.
In the constant dodging and chasing, Iwasaki Ryota slowly approached the Chinese tank in front, and took advantage of the gap in the opponent's firepower to hide in a small crater.
At this time, the infantrymen from behind also caught up. It was only then that Li Chenzhe ordered the tank to continue moving forward, but he was still leading the way.
Iwasaki Ryota was lying in the crater. At this time, he was holding the fuse of the explosive pack behind him tightly in his hand, feeling the trembling of the earth behind him, and his mood was in chaos at the moment.
At this moment, the crater he was hiding in was probably the work of a 75-caliber artillery. The crater was not deep, with a depth of less than one meter, and could only accommodate two people.
Iwasaki Ryota trembled and slowly poked his head out, and saw a steel monster in front of him, exhaling green smoke, slowly driving towards his direction. It was only about 20 meters away from him, and in front of him was a steel monster. This Chinese tank was followed by many infantrymen. They followed the tank cautiously and kept firing at suspicious targets.
When the tank was getting closer and closer to Iwasaki Ryota, Iwasaki Ryota finally gave a loud shout, jumped out of the crater where he was hiding, pulled the fuse, and rushed towards the front. of tanks.
"boom!"
The tank rushing at the front stopped immediately, and a plume of black smoke came out of the open command tower and immediately spread into the air.
"Damn it, what's going on? Am I still alive?"
At the moment when the explosive package exploded, Li Chenzhe could only think of this.
After being lost for more than ten seconds, he tried to move his body. Fortunately, he seemed to be uninjured, but when he turned around, he found that the loader and machine gunner behind him had been killed, and the bomb next to him exploded on the inner wall of the tank. A piece of debris flew out and tore off half of his head.
This is the bad thing about homogeneous armor. After being attacked by the opponent, the armor fragments and the inner wall of the cabin will fall apart randomly. Many shrapnel will fly away against his body, and then the tank will begin to burn and choke. The smell of smoke. (To be continued.
