Chapter 137: Huo Xiaoshan's Positional Battle (5)

The main peak of Niushou Mountain is still full of artillery fire, and the attacking Japanese army and the defending Chinese army are in a fierce battle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was obvious that this was the focus of the Japanese attack, and the capture of the flank position guarded by Ma Liancai Company was only carried with it, as a roundabout outflank after the occupation when the attack on the main peak was blocked.

But this time, the Japanese army's attack on the flank positions has been escalated, because it turned out to be two tanks in front of the road!

After the usual round of shelling plowed over the already crumbling fortifications of the flank positions, the two tanks rushed out first.

The tank's 7.7-millimeter heavy machine guns opened fire suddenly, and the soldiers who followed behind advanced towards the Chinese positions with their guns in their hands.

The Japanese commander never thought that in the first round of attack, his squad of 80 or so people would be collectively "broken", obviously this consequence was difficult for them to accept, so it was an inevitable choice to transfer two tanks from the direction of the main peak to participate in the attack.

The opposite position was covered by the artillery fire just now, the smoke of gunpowder was dissipating, and the tracks of the tanks were crushing the Chinese land, which was an impassable deep ditch and a small hill for people, but to it it was only an insignificant ditch and a ditch.

The Japanese behind the tank did not need to shoot in most cases, because the 7.7 mm heavy machine gun on the tank was more than enough to suppress the fire on the opposing position.

The Japanese troops in the tanks also knew that the Chinese army rarely had enough heavy artillery and anti-aircraft artillery to deal with tanks, and in previous battles, even though the Chinese side had hit their tanks with heavy firepower, they had never succeeded in blocking the forward pace of the iron wheel.

400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters...... The driver of the Japanese tank silently counted the distance between himself and the opposite position, but to his surprise, not only did the heavy machine gun not go off in the opposite position, but also the light gun and rifle did not fire a single shot.

It must have been those damn Shina people who had been scared, he thought.

Soon, it will be 50 meters away, which is usually the distance at which the infantry will start to charge.

And at this moment, the guns rang out, and they rained down, but not from the opposite position, but from the left and right flanks in the direction of their attack.

Because it was close enough to the position, the flanks of the Japanese attacking troops were basically exposed to the muzzles of the guns that were more than 100 meters away.

The sudden blow caught the Japanese soldiers who were on guard in front of them, as if an invisible scythe swung through the ripe rice fields, and even several Japanese soldiers were stopped by heavy machine gun bullets.

The charge that was about to be launched was interrupted.

All the Japanese troops lay down and began to return fire on both flanks, while the two tanks covering the attack also turned their guns and fired suppressive fire at the Chinese firing point diagonally ahead.

And just as the Japanese tank turned its muzzle, several Czech light machine guns poked out from behind the ruins of the line fortifications, and the sudden tongue of fire was sweeping towards the tank, and the two tanks invariably closed the observation window on the right front of the hull.

The machine-gun bullets hit the tank's armor, sending out countless sparks, but they still couldn't penetrate the 12mm carburized steel plate that was the armor.

At this moment, several Chinese soldiers, carrying cluster grenades in their arms, rolled out from behind the ruins of the fortifications and rushed towards the tank.

As soon as the observation window of the Type 94 tank was closed, the people inside had to observe the outside through a three-millimeter slit, and the vision was undoubtedly affected.

When the Japanese soldiers in the tank noticed that there were Chinese soldiers approaching and hurriedly turning the muzzle of the heavy machine gun, there were already soldiers rushing to the dead corner of the tank to observe.

A young soldier with a broadsword behind his back shoved the cluster grenade under the track in front of the tank, and at the same time pulled the lead, and the man rolled to the side.

With a bang, the tank rushed forward by inertia for a meter, but it didn't just hum and didn't walk the aisle, but it was the wheels that drove the tracks to idle there, and the tracks had been blown up.

The young Chinese soldier lay quietly a few meters away from the tank, already with an extra twenty-shot box gun in his hand.

He raised his head slightly and stared at the tank that could only roar in place, but before he could show a hint of victory, he saw a Japanese soldier poking his head out from behind the tank, it was a soldier who was charging after the tank, and because of the angle of fire, he actually dodged the Chinese fire suppression from both flanks.

The Japanese soldier undoubtedly spotted the enemy lying there at the same time, and for a very brief moment, both sides raised their guns at the same time, and the guns rang out, and the Japanese soldier fell.

This Japanese soldier didn't understand until he died, how could the opponent's gun be so fast, but he raised his gun with the opponent at the same time.

At this time, the Chinese soldier on the opposite side, who was still in a lying position, held his weapon very steadily, and his black eyes flashed with a kind of confidence, confident that he would shoot faster than the other party! Be confident that you can hit more accurately than the other party!

The tanks that had been blown up and their tracks were rumbling freely, their turrets had turned around and were strafing the Chinese positions that were close at hand, and the Czech-made light machine guns were dumbfired.

When the young soldier saw this, he jumped up from his place with a whizz, like an agile leopard, and took three steps and two steps to the right side of the tank.

The iron cover of the observation window in front of the right side of the tank was propped up, which must have seen that the tank could not move, and the driver inside was opening the window to observe the situation.

The young soldier dodged to the front of the car, pointed his gun directly at the observation window, and snapped two shots.

Too close, he heard two screams from inside the tank, while the heavy machine gun on the turret was muted.

Another tank had also been blown off tracks by several Chinese soldiers.

A soldier climbed onto the tank, lifted the lid on the tank turret with one hand, and was about to throw a grenade down, but was hit by the Japanese army behind the tank, and he fell off the tank with a crooked body.

The grenade, which had been wounded, smashed into the tank, and it fell through the back of the tank, and the screams of the Japanese soldiers were heard in the explosion.

Another Chinese soldier quickly climbed onto the tank again, and finally managed to slip the grenade into the turret, and with a muffled explosion, the tank was finally killed.

All of this, when it comes to saying a long time, is actually very short.

The two Japanese tanks were blown up at the cost of being blown up for a distance that the infantry could charge.

The shouts of the Japanese soldiers rang out, and it turned out that during the strafing of the tank turrets, most of the firing points on the two flanks of the Chinese side were dumbfounded, and even the heavy machine gun was silent.

The Japanese troops, who had no threat, stood up in large groups, holding the 38 rifles with bayonets on them, and rushed towards the position like a swarm.

And the Chinese army did not throw grenades on the positions again, presumably for fear of injuring the few soldiers who survived after blowing up the tank.

A veteran of the Chinese army took the lead in jumping on the remnants of the fortifications with a bayonet, shouted, and led the soldiers defending behind him to rush down, and the white-knuckle battle began! (To be continued.) )
