Inoue Kiyuki ultimately failed to figure out what destroyed his tank.
At the last moment, Inoue Kiyuki chose to attack the enemy desperately.
However, there is no method to this kind of attack, and there cannot be any method... The imperial army from top to bottom does not know what it is facing, and of course there will be no targeted tactics.
They only know that they are in a dilemma: if they charge with soldiers, they will be attacked indiscriminately by the enemy's "shotguns"; if they attack with tanks, they will be destroyed by the enemy's mysterious and terrifying howling artillery fire.
The screams that resounded throughout the battlefield were like the sounds from hell, the ghosts seeking revenge and life-seeking ghosts calling out the names of these murderers.
In fact, the Japanese can retreat at this time.
The Eighth Route Army was unable to catch up, and there was even a minefield of bullets in front of the rocket launcher.
Therefore, as soon as the Japanese turned around, the bazooka shooter could only watch them escape.
But the Japanese could not retreat because retreat would be an unforgivable shame for them.
Therefore, even though the tanks and armored vehicles in front have been destroyed one after another, and even though the soldiers and even Inoue Kiyuki himself have no confidence in defeating the enemy, Inoue Kiyuki still waves his pistol and hysterically shouts orders to attack. As long as someone goes to
When he ran back, he raised his pistol and pulled the trigger without hesitation...
Just when Inoue Kiyuki killed a soldier who retreated in panic, a bullet flew and penetrated his chest.
Inoue Kiyuki lowered his head and looked at the blood seeping from his chest, then all the strength in his body suddenly disappeared and he collapsed on the ground involuntarily.
At the last moment, Inoue Kiyuki finally tasted the fear of death and knew that this kind of powerlessness and despair could not be stopped by the so-called imperial belief.
This bullet was shot by Wang Xuexin.
The visibility on the battlefield is extremely poor, and it is difficult to find targets beyond a hundred meters.
This is the price of releasing smoke, which Wang Xuexin did not consider before the war.
Therefore, the "sharpshooters" arranged on the hill actually did not play a big role. They were more of a defender of a commanding height.
However, Wang Xuexin still found an opportunity to provide cover for the rocket launcher... Whenever a rocket exploded in the enemy's position, the fire would reflect black shadows in the smoke. All Wang Xuexin had to do was to aim at these
Shadow pulled the trigger.
Wang Xuexin defeated at least seven Japs, and also exploded a directional mine... The soldier who controlled the directional mine must have died, so a group of Japs rushed to the directional mine with bayonets in hand and did not detonate it.
Wang Xuexin noticed the square black shadow against the background of the fire, so he pulled the trigger on it without thinking.
There was a loud "boom", and the group of Japanese soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
The battlefield is filled with the screams of rockets, which is a beautiful piece of music to Wang Xuexin's ears. If he were not in the middle of a battle, he would even want to stop and enjoy it for a while.
At this time, a Japanese soldier holding a pistol caught Wang Xuexin's eyes in the firelight.
Wang Xuexin naturally aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.
However, when the bullet shot out of the gun barrel with a "bang", Wang Xuexin realized that the shot was wrong.
This Japanese officer was preventing the Japanese from escaping, and the tanks continued to flow forward under his command.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army needed these Japs to jump into the trap, so this commander should not be killed.
Sure enough, the next second the Japs collapsed because the commander was killed. The infantry and tanks turned around and fled in a swarm. In the smoke, there were even many Japs infantry who were pressed under the tracks of the invisible tanks.
Soon, the battlefield gradually became quiet, and then cheers broke out.
In the past, when the Eighth Route Army faced off against the Japanese, even against the infantry, they could only use the terrain to fight guerrillas because of their absolute inferior equipment. However, this time, they were able to withstand the attack of the Japanese chariot troops on the plains, and there were dozens of them.
…
How could this not make them ecstatic, how could it not make them jump for joy!
Battalion Commander Guan Dashan ran over from afar, hugged Wang Xuexin, held Wang Xuexin's hand heavily, and said incoherently: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, we won... we really won! We defeated the tanks... thanks to you.
!Thanks to you..."
Shigekawa Kazuichi's entire face turned dark. When he looked at the battle ahead through the telescope, he had the same doubts as Inoue Kiyuki: What are those? What weapons can actually destroy the Empire's tanks?
Then Shigekawa Kazuichi realized that he had made a mistake.
The enemy force in front of us is not a "covering force" at all, and there is no retreating enemy main force.
The reconnaissance team that was surrounded and annihilated in the early morning was at the hands of this Eighth Route Army. It was them from beginning to end, using the same equipment, a kind of equipment unknown to the empire.
However, Shigekawa Kazuichi still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that his tanks could rely on speed and numbers to rush into the enemy's position and win the battle.
But in the end he was disappointed.
Shigekawa Kazuichi saw for the first time the rout of the 1st Tank Squadron, a veritable rout... Only six tanks escaped from the smoke, two of them were still injured, and the armored vehicles were completely wiped out. Only Shigekawa Kazuichi acted.
This command car is still the only one left.
Shigekawa Kazuichi couldn't believe this result, but he had to face this reality.
The first thing he thought of was seppuku... It seemed that the shame of failure could only be washed away by seppuku.
However, he cannot do this!
Shigekawa Kazuichi returned to the command vehicle with a heavy heart, and weakly said to the prepared radio soldiers inside: "Send a report to the commander of the company. The Eighth Route Army has an unknown and powerful anti-tank weapon. It is not an artillery weapon. It is probably a single weapon.
It is an anti-tank weapon that is easy to hide and maneuver. Our army has suffered heavy losses in the ambush of this weapon!"
This telegram was quickly forwarded to Okamura Neji.
Okamura Neji couldn't help being shocked.
An unknown, powerful individual anti-tank weapon?
Why is there no information at all?
Okamura Neiji knew the Eighth Route Army well. He knew that the Eighth Route Army’s weapons could only come from three sources:
1. Distributed by Chongqing.
2. Captured by the Imperial Army.
Third, a small amount is produced by the arsenal.
It is basically impossible for Chongqing to distribute it. None of the troops fighting on the front line with Chongqing has ever heard of such equipment.
It is even more impossible to seize it from the imperial army. If the imperial army has such a weapon, Okamura Neji will definitely know about it.
Was it produced by the Eighth Route Army itself?
impossible!
Okamura Neiji immediately rejected the idea. He even thought it was ridiculous. How could the Eighth Route Army, which could not even produce standard bullets and artillery shells, produce such advanced equipment?
At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka hurriedly came over with a telegram and reported: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, the news from the front line is that this equipment will make a piercing scream and leave a long trail..."
Okamura Neiji was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed drastically. He turned to look at Shinozuka Yoshio in shock and said, "Could it be... that the bullet was injected?"
