Chapter 322: Belonging to the 29th Army's Strength (2)

In various dramas of the future republic, the soldiers of the national army who were forced to be helpless would tie up a grenade and drill under the Japanese tank to pull it, and the tank would lie down with a "boom". The picture not only makes people sigh at the heroism of the warriors but also makes people extremely relieved, and it is a storyline that almost every director uses.

Whether it is in the city or in the mountains and plains, as long as the tank can drive, you will see the heroic figure of the national army.

Of course, this is not made up out of thin air, on the contrary, there are not many such examples, whether it is the Battle of Songhu or the bloody battle of Taierzhuang, there are the shadows of the soldiers of the national army who are desperate to die with the enemy tanks, about these, whether it is Japan or China, they are recorded in detail in the battle records, and they are heroic and indelible by time.

However, how much sadness and helplessness is hidden in this kind of heroism! The country's industrial and economic backwardness has led to the need for soldiers to use flesh and blood to compete with the enemy's iron weapons, which should be remembered by all. In the future, China will certainly not be able to follow such an old path.

And if you think it's easy to tie a grenade to your body and drill under the tank, you're very wrong.

At the beginning of the establishment of the armored corps, the shortcomings of the perspective were destined to the early armored corps could not independently complete the task of attacking the position during the operation, and the armored troops must be protected by infantry, whether it is a tank or an armored vehicle without infantry protection, as long as the enemy infantry enters the shooting corner of the tank, it is the end of these steel monsters.

While the infantry provides protection for the armored forces, the strong attack and defense of the armored forces also give the infantry strong support.

The Panzer Divisions formed by the Germans before 1936 were at the forefront of this (in the case of the Second Panzer Division, established in 1935): two Panzer Regiments, two Infantry Shooting Battalions (Infantry), one Motorized Shooting Battalion (Motorized Infantry), two Artillery Brigades, a reconnaissance company, and anti-armor, engineer and communications brigades.

It was precisely with this combination of armored divisions of various services that the Germans annihilated one infantry division after another in a devastating posture in the early days of World War II.

The Japanese, on the other hand, were still at a kindergarten level in mechanized warfare compared to the Germans, but they at least knew how to use infantry to protect the perimeter of the tank.

All enemy troops who want to bully within 20 meters of the tank are their key targets.

On such a battlefield, even if you want to be a hero, it's not so easy to be a hero.

As the tanks commanded by Watanabe Katsuji got closer and closer to the trenches, the puppet infantry was ready to charge and jump into the trenches, and the brave squad warriors hiding in the trenches couldn't help it.

If the puppet army is the first to rush into the trenches, they are most likely to be shot indiscriminately and killed in the trenches, instead of being able to pull a tank as a cushion before they die, and if they can't blow up the tank, not only will the brothers behind them die, but the 100 oceans per person promised by the regimental deputy will also be gone.

The twelve soldiers distributed in the trench all came up with their own strange moves, some aimed at the direction of the tank, found a corner in the trench and pretended to be dead, a large bundle of cluster grenades was crushed under him, and the moment Tucker crossed the trench's tender abdomen and exposed it, it was the moment he pulled the grenade tab.

No one has the time to check the authenticity of a "corpse" on the battlefield, as long as the tank passes five meters around him, no one can prevent him from dying with the tank, and the power of a dozen grenades loaded with 150 grams of explosives exploding at the same time is no less powerful than that of a mountain artillery shell.

However, even if it is a decisive death, not many people will adopt this method of 100% death. As long as it is a human being, there will always be the idea of stealing a life, just like many people will think when they see the film and television footage, why don't those heroes stuff grenades in it, and hide by themselves? That is not not the completion of the task and the preservation of life, what a perfect ending!

As an outsider, you will think so, and those who are in it will naturally think so. Everyone wants to live in this world and enjoy the sun and air. Many people will say that you are blaspheming the hero, and you are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

However, this is human nature, and it has nothing to do with morality or character.

Just like Dong Cunrui who bombed the bunker in the red army, and Huang Jiguang who blocked the muzzle of the machine gun, don't they want to live? Of course they want to live, and even the records have written in detail that the martyr Dong Cunrui has been released many times in a row, and the explosives bag has slipped down, if it can't be placed between the angle between the column and the bottom of the bridge, the bridge will not collapse at all, and finally support the explosives bag with his hands, which is really the last choice; And the martyr Huang Jiguang stuffed the blaster several times and was pushed out by the enemy, the machine gun still continued to roar, his comrades were still wailing on the ground, and he could no longer block the enemy's machine gun, so he chose to use his chest;

So what choice did they make? The reason why they became heroes is not because he has always been noble, but because at that moment, the choice they made triumphed over humanity, and even if it was just a momentary choice, it would always shine in the night sky of the republic.

The vast majority of the soldiers on the death squad still chose to crawl to the tank, trying to send the cluster grenades on their backs to the tank's tracks.

Few succeeded, and the distance of more than ten meters became their way to death, except for one or two individual soldiers with excellent quality, and they escaped the shooting of the puppet army with a few jumps with lightning speed, not only paralyzing the tank with cluster grenades, but also hiding in the crater next to them.

Most of the rest were shot by puppet soldiers and tank machine guns on the way forward, and a soldier disguised as a corpse pulled a grenade hidden under him the moment the track swept over his head.

After paying for the lives of more than a dozen soldiers, three of the eight tanks were lying on their stomachs, and two of them could still shoot, that is, one was completely blown up, and the sputter-shaped metal particle flow formed by the relatively "soft" steel plate under the car at the moment of the explosion directly burned the people and things in the tank compartment to ashes. In addition to the one that was killed by the mountain artillery hit by the big luck before, there are still four tanks that can move.

Four terrifying steel monsters crossed the two-meter-wide trench, and the diesel engines spewed black smoke and made a terrible roar towards the second trench of Position 1.

In mountain operations, I didn't expect the Japanese army to send tanks at all, because of the terrain, the trenches could not be dug too wide, and the two-meter-wide trenches were not difficult for the Type 89 medium tanks at all.

The puppet soldiers also jumped into the trenches, which not only allowed them to dodge the closer and closer shells, but also made it easier to occupy the second line of trenches through here, thus occupying the entire No. 1 position, and with the addition of follow-up troops, the entire hilltop would become their bag.

The soldiers of the national army in the second trench were pale, and they were not afraid of hundreds of puppet soldiers, but the remaining five tanks were irresistible monsters, and if they were allowed to continue to advance, even if the brothers of the follow-up troops came up to help, it would be useless.

Now, the most critical moment has come. 10
