Chapter 501 Kill the tank with a carbine
"Sir, we have too many troops gathered here. We must be targeted by the National Savior Army artillery observers. The troops must be dispersed immediately, otherwise the National Savior Army artillery will definitely chase us and explode!" The artillery staff quickly reminded.
Colonel Watanabe has seen the power of the artillery unit of the National Salvation Army more than once.
I don’t know if they were lucky tonight or if they had developed new shelling methods. Under the guidance of their observers, the shells whizzing by seemed to have eyes, and they hit wherever they pointed, which was even more powerful than their own gunners.
The artillery troops, the vanguard squadron, the rapid-fire artillery squadron... were all destroyed by them.
In order not to repeat the same mistake, he quickly ordered: "Why are you still standing there? Haven't you heard the analysis of the artillery staff just now?"
"Two infantry squads broke through with me, and the remaining troops broke through with the command of the Second Battalion. We divided our troops and left the battlefield! Let's go now. Never fight with the National Savior Army unless it is absolutely necessary on the way to break through, otherwise they will definitely be targeted by their cavalry troops. If they want to run away, they will have no chance."
"Hayi... rumble..."
Several subordinates had just received the order, and the second round of six shells fell from the sky.
Unlike mortar shells that rely on fragments to kill people, mountain artillery shells can also kill people through shock waves.
Even if the Japanese lay on the ground and avoided the flying shells above his head, as long as he was not too far away from the bullet point, the powerful shock wave could still shake him into internal injuries, or even be killed on the spot...
During this round of explosion, more than a dozen soldiers disappeared.
Colonel Watanabe saw it and felt pain in his heart. He rushed to order: "Go away... We will delay here for one more minute and have more casualties. Tonight our casualties are already big enough. If you can lose one, you will lose one..."
Colonel Watanabe's retreat order was issued, and the first team of chariots who were originally planning to fight against the war were no longer fought, and turned around and started running away.
This is exactly the picture Chen Zhengyu wants to see.
If the Japanese army was desperate to bear it to the end, even though the chariot platoon and cavalry company were not afraid, they could still be severely damaged.
However, the Japanese army's fight of trapped beasts will also cause considerable casualties to the troops.
Although the four main battalions are still in full form, more than one-third of the soldiers in the team are recruits who have never been on the battlefield, resulting in only 60 to 70% of the troops' overall combat effectiveness.
More importantly, the nearly 2,000 new recruits in the recruits battalion have been almost used. If there are still troops who have suffered a large number of casualties in the subsequent battles, there is no place to replenish the recruits.
So in the raid battle in front of him, the last scene Chen Zhengyu wanted to see was the Japanese army fighting to the end.
As he wished, the nearly two thousand Japanese troops retreated in less than ten minutes under the joint attack of artillery, chariots, cavalry and infantry, and broke through in various scattered units.
Chen Zhengyu was not worried about their successful breakthrough.
Not to mention the only way back to the county town, there is a battalion of nets waiting for them to escape, and then they fall into the trap after they escape. The chariot platoons, cavalry companies, artillery battalions, spy companies that are attacking... are not vegetarians, and they will not let the Japanese escape easily.
No matter how many times the Japanese broke through, they only had two legs, and they would definitely not be able to run away from the four-legged cavalry.
Once they fled, the cavalry company not only lost the danger of being killed by them, but also could follow their butts, chase them all the way, and achieve the greatest results with the minimum cost.
Under the guidance of several observers, the artillery shells fired seemed to have eyes. Even if the Japanese army divided their troops into groups to break through, the artillery shells could hit the crowd and explode. Each artillery shell could take at least one Japanese life.
The chariot platoon was also divided, and the only tank was biting behind dozens of Japanese soldiers with two armed cars.
As long as the Japanese enter the effective range of the vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun, the dull machine gun strafing sound will sound on the top of the tank.
As they chased after, dozens of Japanese devils suddenly stopped and quickly scattered on the ground, forming a half-encirclement, waiting for tanks and armed cars to rush over.
They were obviously chased out of their temper. Seeing that there were no infantry following the tanks and armed cars, they planned to kill one of them and kill the pursuers.
The tank also realized the purpose of the Japanese. When they rushed to a distance of sixty or seventy meters away, they stopped and started shooting at the place where there might be hidden people in front!
The Japanese army was also cruel enough. No matter how the tank fired, it would not move. Even if it was hit by a bullet, it would still lie on the ground.
They had to wait for the tank to get closer and rush out, destroying it with grenades and explosives.
After fighting a lonely tank, he could only continue to move forward, but at this moment it is no longer alone and helpless.
In addition to drivers and machine gunners, in order to prevent the tank from being protected by infantry, the tanks were exploited by the Japanese army. Each armed car was equipped with six riflemen.
After realizing that the Japanese army wanted to kill the tank and retaliate, the twelve infantrymen on the two armed cars got off the car decisively and formed a battle formation to guard the tank.
The two armed cars that acted as guards also rushed to the tanks and shot all the Japanese who wanted to get close to the tanks.
This incident was clearly seen by the Japanese squadron leader, and he especially wanted to temporarily interrupt the operation.
But the arrow was drawn without turning back. The tank had already rushed to everyone. Now retreating is to expose the back to the tank's muzzle and serve as a living target for the tank.
Since you can't escape death if you retreat temporarily, you might as well fight, maybe you can still find a way out.
"Kill and give it to..."
The eight Japanese lying in the front suddenly rushed out of their hiding point. Some were holding grenades, some were holding explosives, and they rushed towards the tank quickly like monkeys.
"Dongdongdongdongdong..." The heavy machine gun on the vehicle sounded at the same time, and the two Japanese in front fell to the ground.
The remaining six Japanese gangs quickly fell down and continued to approach the tank through crawling.
"Dadadada...Dadadongdong..." The light and heavy machine guns mounted on the roof of the armed car joined the battle. The condescending rain of bullets killed four more Japanese devils, leaving only two Japanese struggling on the ground.
"Baoba...baoba..."
The rifleman following behind the tank shot the last shot, completely breaking the Japanese army's desire to get close to the tank.
All eight Japanese fell in front of the tank.
The squadron leader saw this scene was even more desperate, but he had no choice but to retreat. Facing the tank that was approaching him more than ten meters, he rushed out of the hiding point with his subordinates...
"Dadadada...Dadadongdong..." The gunshot from the front rang out the moment he stood up. As soon as the squadron leader was about to fall to the ground, a severe pain came from his chest. Two bullets drilled two holes in his military uniform and continued to drill into his body. The blood that gushed out instantly dyed the military uniform near the hole red...
