Chapter 52: Behind Me, Forward
"It's not easy to fight here!" Huang Huamin climbed the ruined tower of Guanghua Gate and sighed slightly.
Huang Huamin only had a dozen people left on hand, and under his pleading, he took the remaining men to temporarily organize into the first battalion of the vanguard army, and followed Niu Yi and them to the gate of Guanghuamen. That section of the city wall was defended by a battalion of the 156th Division that rushed to support, and the remaining manpower of the other 259th Brigade began to concentrate towards Guanghuamen.
The main force of the Kyosaka Wing concentrated on the attack at the Kohwamon Gate, which was convenient for attack, and the fierceness of the battle exceeded that of the 1st Battalion. Jiro Kasaka is not a big young master like Hideo Nagagawa, and with the heavy firepower of the wing concentrated here, the defense of the Kohwamen defenders is very difficult.
Fortunately, the strength of the teaching team Xie Chengrui Regiment and the 259th Brigade is not weak, and the weapons are also excellent.
But after all, the other side had the advantage of artillery and aircraft, which brought great casualties to the officers and soldiers defending the city. When Xie Chengrui heard about the first battalion, he was moved. More than 30 machine guns and three German-made 37 anti-aircraft guns are very strong, and they can play a greater role when used at more dangerous city gates.
After he consulted with Yi Anhua, the first battalion came to the city gate, which was a little difficult to defend, under the order.
When they came, the battle was in the rage. The devil's plane had just finished bombing and strafing, and four tanks were slowly moving over.
"Cannon! What about anti-aircraft artillery? As soon as Xie Chengrui saw Niu Yi, they first shouted, and the three Ao-made 47 anti-aircraft guns in the regiment had been destroyed, and the six 75 light infantry guns had also lost four in the bombing. Such strength is very difficult to deal with the tanks of the devils.
Niu waved his hand one by one, and the two anti-aircraft guns that came with him pushed straight over. When the anti-aircraft gun at that gap was pulled back, many parts were already damaged and could not be used for the time being.
Niu 18 was not seriously injured, and after treatment, he returned to the battle, aiming at a tank that was shelling the city tower with its muzzle high and bombarded it directly.
Hit!
A cloud of flame rose from behind the tank and gradually spread all over the body, leaving only the muzzle of the gun always high up, but there was no more chance to fire.
However, in the course of the bombardment, it is not a surprise or with the help of advantageous conditions such as external geographical advantages, and artillery of the same caliber still suffers a lot compared with tanks.
Without waiting for Niu XVIII to turn the muzzle, a chariot cannon shell bombarded nearby, breaking up one of the wheels of the battle defense gun, and the inclined battle defense gun pressed Niu XVIII's right foot.
"Hold on!" Although he can't use the cannon himself, Deng Dayan still likes to stay by the artillery. At this time, seeing Niu Eighteen in distress, he couldn't help shouting to this big man who had a little affection in his heart, and quickly ran over, and together with an artilleryman who was shaking his head and getting up, he pushed away the heavy gun carriage and dragged Niu Eighteen out.
After a few cannon shots, two of the four tanks remained, but several of the guns were damaged and could not be shelled for the time being. Not only do they have to face the devil's tanks, but they also have to watch out for the devil's well-trained artillery.
"Death squads!" Xie Chengrui shouted loudly.
At this time, from several hidden caves near the city wall, more than a dozen soldiers holding cluster grenades suddenly burst out, and the machine guns in the city behind them invariably began to suppress the infantry behind the tanks. In particular, the MG-34 machine guns of the first battalion had an extremely fast rate of fire, which made the infantry behind the tanks bow their heads.
"Da da da ......" But the machine guns on the tank began to sound, and the machine guns on the head of the city had little effect on the tank machine guns because of the line of sight and protection. Four or five soldiers fell to the ground in an instant, and immediately one of the soldiers next to them picked up the cluster grenade and continued to bend down and rush forward.
But the two tanks were at each other's horns, and under the machine-gun blockade, four or five more soldiers who rushed forward fell.
One of the big men who had been shot in the chest held the two soldiers next to him behind him and shouted: "I'm dead, walk with my corpse, and I'm going to bite his mother when I'm dead." ”
With that, he threw off his blood-soaked shirt and shouted at the tank naked, "Damn! Little devil, come on, fight here! Hit your grandfather! ”
The general shouted as he strode straight towards a tank. The tank's machine gun turned slightly, and the bullets kept hitting him. In an instant, the man, whose upper body had been pierced by more than a dozen bullet holes, stared angrily ahead, and his stiff arms were vigorously split to protect his back, but the power of the bullet still penetrated a person behind him. The man struggled to turn around and grinned at the man behind him, "Behind me, ...... forward"
The three of them still moved forward in a row, and when they passed by a soldier of the death squad who had a broken leg next to him, the man pounced, blocked a few bullets, and after falling to the ground, he pointed two points forward with his right hand before staring forward and died.
For a moment, the bullets in the city behind him seemed to be crazy and concentrated in front of this strange team, opening the way for them, and the dense clanging sound of hitting the two tanks also stopped the machine-gun fire for a moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man behind him shouted violently, and with the strength of his body, he pushed the two corpses in front of him, and advanced rapidly for more than ten meters, and finally pounced in front of the tracks of a tank together. But the moving tank immediately ran over it.
Just as Xie Chengrui was about to give the order to send another death squad, a left hand stretched out from under the tank track, waved it into the distance, and then with a loud "boom", the tank shook and twisted and stopped at all.
The remaining tank seemed to hesitate imperceptibly, but still slowly moving forward.
Another group of death squads rushed over. Under the attack of tank machine guns and soldiers in the rear, seven or eight team members fell one after another. He himself was aware of the threat posed by these death squads to the tanks, and many of his soldiers broke away from the tanks and rushed out to shoot at the death squads at the risk of being strafed by machine guns at the head of the city. The machine gun in the rear also continued to spray flames, and the dense bullets blocked the daredevils' charging footsteps.
"Phew!" After a gunshot that no one could hear clearly, the tank machine gun suddenly went silent, and Snake Qi, who had been aiming at it on his knees for most of the day, collapsed and almost sat down after releasing this shot. Xiao Hefei, who had been angrily shooting at the tank armor next to him, did not observe the results of this shot, and there were still six straight notches on a small wooden stick next to him.
The death squad fighter at the front took the opportunity to tear off the cord of the grenade, rushed to the tank, and pounced on it.
"Boom!"
After the tank rolled forward two steps, the right track fell off the wheel.
