For Jiro Wakiba who was like an ant on a hot pot in the distant headquarters, it was just a big mistake.
But for the Japanese soldiers who were in dire straits on the battlefield, it couldn't be described as bad. It was completely like hell. The terrible machine gun bullets were whizzing overhead like a violent storm, making people dare not raise their heads at all.
Anyone who dares to raise his head is basically dead.
However, don’t think that lying down in the ruins or hiding in a crater will do the trick. There are still shells falling overhead, almost vertically. It doesn’t matter whether you are lying down or standing, as long as you are three or four meters away.
Within the killing radius, Lao Gao who was hit by the shock wave was either beaten into pieces by machine gun bullets in the air, or was beaten into bloody gourds by terrible shrapnel.
Moreover, you are desperate. You know clearly that the terrible mortar shells that just took away the lives of your colleagues will fall on your head or around you in the next moment, but you dare not leave your current hiding place easily.
Because there are still chillingly dense machine gun bullets raging overhead, and the only thing you can do is to crawl forward in the ruins. What's more, there are no patterns in the places where mortar shells fall. How do you know?
Which place is safer?
For five minutes, the Japanese infantry on the battlefield were absolutely confused. They could only hide in their bunkers blankly, praying to God Amaterasu to protect them from the Chinese shells falling on their heads.
It doesn't matter where my head falls. Anyway, it's better to die as a fellow Taoist than to die as a poor Taoist.
Wherever it falls to your Excellency, the captain.
At this moment, I don’t know how many people hated their own regiment captain. Especially the group of recruits who had just been added to the 36th Infantry Regiment. They had long heard that Jiro Wakiba was commanding the 36th Infantry Regiment here.
I bumped into a hard nail and suffered heavy casualties. Who would have thought that this idiot didn't even accept the lesson? Now he must have trapped them too!
In fact, the Japanese infantry were in despair, and the Japanese armored soldiers with steel and iron bones were not much better.
Even though they have 12mm armor protection and are immune to those crazy machine gun and submachine gun bullets, they are actually more panicked. This time, they are not facing the shooting of four machine guns, but six.
, and it’s still at a distance of 200 meters, which is really killing me.
The Sulotong 20mm machine gun equipped by the Chinese can penetrate 30mm armor at a distance of 500 meters. At a distance of 200 meters... To be honest, 12mm steel plate armor is no better than paper
How many.
However, the four Japanese tanks were very smart. They were the ones who survived the last war. As soon as they saw the Chinese machine guns starting to fire, the four tanks immediately turned their rudders and turned towards the broken building.
If you go inside, you won't care about the life and death of the infantry behind you.
They didn't even think about trying to resist. The experience of the tank crews told them that firing at the Chinese machine guns at this distance was just a matter of death. Their 57mm tank guns might be able to blast through sandbags and blow up aircraft, but
, the Chinese are extremely cunning and know that the elevation angle of tank guns is not very large, so most of them place their machine guns on the third and fourth floors. This not only makes the shooting range wider from a higher position, but also makes it extremely difficult for tank guns to target them.
In this way, before the tank gun adjusts its angle and aims for test firing, the Chinese machine gun may have left several big holes in the tank. In the past two days, the four comrades who were completely destroyed and buried in iron coffins have long since
Set an example for them.
Just like yesterday, they completely gave up shooting with machine guns and hid in the ruins for the first time, and survived very well. So, the four tanks jumped into the ruins again, using the dilapidated houses to protect them. That was
It can block the machine gun's line of sight and slow down the kinetic energy of the machine gun's 20 mm caliber shells. When the wing headquarters starts to use artillery to suppress it, it can then sneak back. The calculation of the Japanese tank crews is not bad.
But this time, they were wrong. Yesterday, the machine gunners wanted to save ammunition and stopped shooting when they saw the Japanese tanks hiding in old buildings and dilapidated buildings. But today, they received an order
Yes, shoot at all costs, even if it means emptying the ammunition reserve. Although I don’t know the intention of the supreme commander, I must obey the military order, let alone such a comfortable military order.
The six machine guns were either working in groups of two or fighting alone. They locked on the Japanese tanks in sight and fired without any scruples, even if they had crashed into the house. They fired at the house and the walls.
If you smash a house, you should also smash a tank.
The Chinese were crazy, and the Japanese tank crew was confused and angry at that moment. Is it necessary to kill them all like this? Artillery shells are free of charge!
But no matter what, that's what the Chinese machine gun shooters did. The six machine guns didn't even care about the Japanese infantry hiding in the ruins like gray mice, they just chased the four tanks and fired wildly.
Kikumaru is a sergeant-level tank heavy machine gunner. In the fierce battle with the Chinese army for more than 20 days, he and his comrades in the No. 3 tank made great achievements. The heavy machine gun he controlled killed at least more than 100,000 people.
Thirty Chinese soldiers, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be awarded for meritorious service and promoted after the First World War in Shanghai. Captain Edogawa, the commander of the tank squadron behind him, has promised him that he will report his performance to the captain.
Achievements, second lieutenant in the army is not that unattainable.
But now, Kikumaru feels deep despair for the first time. Not to mention the second lieutenant in the army that is easily available, it is still unknown whether he can leave here alive today.
In the smoke of gunpowder, large holes visible to the naked eye appeared on the wall. The Chinese did not hesitate to fire wildly with huge amounts of ammunition, which made the brick wall crumbling. In the tank, everyone from Captain Edogawa on down was sweating profusely.
Kikumaru knew that it was not too hot inside the chariot, but caused by nervousness.
Yes, everyone knows that when the Chinese destroy the dilapidated house where they are hiding, it will be their end. According to the extent of the Chinese people's madness, even if they remain motionless and regard themselves as ruins, the Chinese
They will also fire wildly at the ruins. Without the cover of the brick wall, those terrifying cigar-thick shells will easily penetrate the tank armor and shoot into the cockpit.
Thinking of those large warheads that penetrated the steel plate at high speed and wreaked havoc in the cockpit, Kikumaru's anus tightened suddenly. He had gone to collect the bodies of his colleagues in the destroyed tank.
Because the ammunition exploded and set the tank on fire, the body of my comrade was actually not the most terrifying thing. At most, it was half-burned to black charcoal. As long as you covered your mouth and nose to avoid smelling the smell of cooked meat, you could put it in a body bag.
That's good, it doesn't take much effort. But the corpses of colleagues who were shot into the tank by machine guns or anti-tank guns don't look good.
Generally speaking, a warhead that hits the cockpit at high speed will tear the flesh it encounters into several pieces. Not only does he have to climb into the cockpit and work hard to collect the body parts, but he also has to piece them back together, and he even has to carefully
To identify, don't put this person's head on the wrong shoulder, even though it's a piece of flesh covered in blood, there are basically no identifiable features.
Amaterasu, it's really terrible to die like this. Kikumaru's real injury to Sergeant is not just a chrysanthemum injury, but his whole heart has been immersed in the ice cellar of 39 days, and is completely cold.
The terrible "dong dong dong" machine gun still does not stop, and the sound of bricks and tiles falling on the roof of the tank is also destroying the nerves of the Japanese tank crews. Maybe it won't take too long, this crumbling house will be destroyed
Being destroyed by Chinese machine guns and collapsing, at that time, it was a nightmare for the entire tank. Not only did they lose the cover of masonry, they may also lose all mobility due to the masonry and stone beams being buried...
"Captain Edo, we can't continue to wait for death like this." Kikumaru Shinshou looked anxiously at the army captain behind him who was sweating profusely.
"Baga! What can we do? The Chinese shooters are targeting us. As soon as we leave this house, they will shoot more crazily." The Japanese captain, whose face was already white and black, looked dejected, "Then
At that time, there may be not just one, but two or even three. We can only hope that the Colonel can make up his mind to use cannons and mountain artillery to counter-suppress the Chinese, so that we can have a chance to withdraw from this damn battlefield."
...
Not only did the tank squadron leader say that it was okay, but when he said it, the members in the tank almost became more desperate. Because the good wishes mentioned by the squadron leader were almost impossible. The infantry drill code strictly stipulates that as an infantryman
When entering within 200 meters of the enemy, artillery is not allowed to bombard them.
The Japanese army's infantry and artillery coordination is already considered the best in this era, but they do not dare to use infantry and artillery coordination at a distance of less than 200 meters. Don't think that artillery and gunfire are the same concept. There are errors in artillery strikes. Even if
Even a skilled artilleryman cannot guarantee that the artillery can hit the target accurately. Any small error can be tens of meters or even hundreds of meters, and the killing range of the artillery shell is often tens of meters.
Howitzers like mountain artillery might not hit other Chinese people, but hit their own heads instead, which is really fatal. Not to mention heavy artillery like 120mm cannons. Once they bombard the forward position, that shot will
If you go down, dozens of people will be killed without the Chinese effort.
A few minutes passed. Although the headquarters had issued an order to retreat, it did not use artillery fire to counter-suppress the Chinese. This was why the Chinese used a terrifying number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars to suppress hundreds of infantrymen.
It is difficult to move on the battlefield.
"I'll apply to get out of the car and find a bunker for us to hide in, otherwise we will all die here." Kikumaru begged seriously.
In addition to the front observation hole, which has a certain field of vision, the tank vehicle only has a gap in the side door that can be observed. The observation of the entire battlefield is actually extremely limited. If someone is guiding outside the vehicle, the natural survival rate will be much higher. Only
However, the following infantrymen no longer know where they have fled, and even if they were there, they did not understand the gesture language of the tank crews. Once the tank engine starts, the huge roar will silence all human sounds.
"But, Kikumaru-kun, you will be in danger." Lieutenant Edogawa was deeply moved.
It definitely requires extraordinary courage to go out of the car when it is being fired upon wildly by machine guns, especially when the house is about to be destroyed.
"For the empire!" Kikumaru said with an awe-inspiring look on his face.
After getting the tacit approval of the squadron leader, and in the eyes of his colleagues who were moved to tears, Kikumaru opened the door and jumped out of the car resolutely.
At the first moment, he crouched and ran wildly towards the outside of the house.
"idiot!"
The Japanese lieutenant and the people in the car were stunned for a moment, then they realized what they were doing and cursed collectively.
They are not stupid. Kikumaru is really hurt by this performance. There is no observation and guidance, it is completely...
Escaped.
Yes, Kikumaru was really injured and escaped.
In his opinion, the chariot has become an iron coffin in a practical sense. He does not want to be a piece of meat that will be picked up by other colleagues in the future. In fact, no one has come to pick it up yet, so he can only slowly walk in the cold wind and rain of Songhu, China.
