As the saying goes, "If you do evil by God, you can forgive it, but if you do it yourself, you will not be able to survive." The Japanese used their own despicable methods to give themselves a hard slap in the face.
Gangzi and the others were still a little surprised. They didn't understand why the Japanese who were hiding well in the trenches suddenly escaped like crazy.
The Japanese in the trenches originally made them a little worried.
Because at this time, the tank seems to be in danger. For example, when the tank crosses the trench, the speed must be slowed down and the chassis will be exposed to the enemy...At this time, the enemy only needs to pull the grenade and hold it with his hand to blow up the tank.
Gangzi had no doubt that the Japanese would do this.
Although the Japs are the enemy, they are also notorious for their recklessness in fighting. They usually charge with grenades and explosive packets when attacking positions, not to mention blowing up tanks at this time.
As for the tanks, the infantry hiding in the trenches are out of their sight and shooting angle, leaving the infantry to clean up.
However, now the Japanese infantry crawled out of the trenches in groups, running away as if they had seen a ghost, completely exposed to the firepower of the tanks...
Gangzi didn't know the reason for this. He thought for a time that the Jinsui Army had launched a counterattack against them.
But Gangzi knew that "opportunities must not be missed before they come back", so he immediately ordered: "Everyone is here, beat them hard!"
Machine guns soon started firing.
The T34 tank is equipped with two machine guns:
One is next to the tank gun and is controlled by the gunner. It is also called a parallel machine gun or a coaxial machine gun.
The other one is controlled by the driver in the cab and is also called a heading machine gun or a front machine gun.
Artillery can't shoot because they have no aim during the march, but machine guns are different. They rely on dense bullets to hit the target with probability, and the tank's up and down fluctuations and left and right swings are just the platform for them to shoot.
Then the bullets rained down on the Japanese soldiers, and the running Japanese soldiers fell down in pieces like harvested rice.
The infantrymen who followed immediately joined the battle group. The driver emerged from the tank driving a three-wheeler. The carbine in the side seat fired accurately one shot after another. The soldier in the back seat used box cannons to hit nearby areas.
goal.
The three-wheeler was stopped when it arrived in front of the trench. The soldiers quickly jumped out of the vehicle and walked. Some jumped into the trench to clean up the remaining enemies, while others continued to follow the tanks...
At this time, Sekiguchi Tianli didn't even understand why his subordinates ran away. He waved his pistol and shouted angrily at his subordinates: "Asshole, come back, you are soldiers of the empire..."
He shouted and pulled the trigger of his pistol in the air as a warning, but the gunshots had no effect because they were covered up by the sound of the tank's motor behind him.
When Sekiguchi looked back, a huge black shadow appeared above the trench, with the towering turrets and front armor even blocking the sunlight.
Just as Sekiguchi Tianli was about to dodge, the tank's tracks brought the sand and soil beside the trench down heavily. He didn't even have time to grunt before he was knocked down in the trench without knowing whether to live or die.
Then, as the tank drove past, a large amount of sand rolled down from the edge, completely burying Sekiguchi Tianli in it...
The Eighth Route Army soldiers continued to chase the remaining Japanese soldiers, and the T26s in the rear also followed one by one and chased them forward.
This scene made Wang Binghua and the others excited. He sighed to his subordinates: "Damn it, the Eighth Route Army is different now. There are so many tanks, even the Japanese are no match for it!"
"Batalion Commander!" his subordinates shouted: "Let's follow him and fight!"
Wang Binghua hit back and gave his subordinate a blow on the head: "Do you want to die? What if we go up and are regarded as Japanese soldiers by the army?"
Then Wang Binghua ordered: "Hold your position and eliminate the remaining enemies! Be careful not to accidentally injure your brothers in the Eighth Route Army!"
"Yes!" the soldiers responded.
Wang Binghua deserves to be the leader of the battalion, and he remained calm enough at this time.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army did not need their help at all. They could not help much other than causing trouble. They might as well clean the battlefield and eliminate future troubles.
Just when Wang Binghua was about to use the radio to report the battle situation to the regiment headquarters, two guards escorted Adjutant Zhang up.
"Battal Commander!" a guard reported: "We discovered that Adjutant Zhang was planning to escape and escorted him back..."
"Who...who said I wanted to escape?" Adjutant Zhang still pretended to be an official and replied: "I...went to check on the enemy's situation?"
The guard smiled and said: "Check the enemy's situation? Check the enemy's situation. Are there any running to the west? Are you still holding a white cloth in your hand?"
As he spoke, the guard handed the white cloth to Wang Binghua.
Adjutant Zhang was speechless. It could be said that everyone got the stolen goods. His motive was very obvious. He would run away if he could. If he couldn't escape, he would raise the white flag and surrender.
When Adjutant Zhang saw Wang Binghua's cold eyes, he felt frightened and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Batalion Commander, I am sent here for the sake of being sent from above..."
"Adjutant Zhang!" Wang Binghua interrupted Adjutant Zhang. He raised the white cloth in his hand and said, "It's fine if you run away. The most I can do is report to my superiors and drive you back to CQ. But you take this with you.
White cloth...that's surrendering to the enemy in front of the battle! If I, Wang Binghua, spare you today, can my brothers who died at the hands of the Japanese close their eyes?"
"Wang Binghua!" Adjutant Zhang's voice suddenly became fierce: "You have to think clearly, I am someone sent from above. If you kill me..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Binghua's box cannon was already pressed against Adjutant Zhang's forehead, which instantly frightened Adjutant Zhang to the point where he dared not speak out.
"I'm sorry, Adjutant Zhang!" Wang Binghua said each word out from between his teeth: "In the next life, you have to figure out who will win this battle and who will side. Don't be so careless like today!"
After saying that, he pulled the trigger and knocked Adjutant Zhang to the ground with a "bang". The blood spurting from his head splashed on Wang Binghua's face, but Wang Binghua did not move and made a "poof" sound on Adjutant Zhang's body.
He spat and cursed: "Whatever you do is wrong, you are a traitor!"
"Battal Commander!" The subordinates were a little worried: "Although Adjutant Zhang died unjustly, he is still from above after all. How should I explain this...?"
Wang Binghua thought for a while and then said: "Brothers, listen up, Adjutant Zhang died in the line of duty while fighting bravely! It is a pity that our department was unable to rescue him!"
Soldiers, you looked at me and I looked at you, and then replied: "Yes!"
At this time, the communications soldier raised his head and shouted: "Battal Commander, the regiment commander called and asked us how the battle is going!"
Wang Binghua sighed and replied: "Return the call. The Eighth Route Army has led reinforcements and has repelled the Japanese. The defense line is still in the hands of our army! However, the Eighth Route Army..."
The soldiers all understood this.
The Jinsui Army has been left behind by the Eighth Route Army.
