Chapter 1356: A Real Tank

"Gentlemen, hold on for another twenty minutes, and the Imperial reinforcements will come, and we will be able to launch a counterattack against the Americans and Australians, and we will be saved!" Major General Nakamura Jikizo cheered up the officers of the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing that it only took another twenty days to hold on, many people who were already desperate couldn't help but show a glimmer of hope. Although, now they have suffered heavy losses and have retreated to the third line of defense. However, holding on for twenty minutes should not be too much of a problem. As soon as the Empire's reinforcements arrived and launched a counterattack, they would be saved.

The remnants of the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army, which had been defeated one after another because of heavy losses, once again burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. As a result, the US-Australian coalition forces, which originally planned to take advantage of the situation to pursue and break through the defense line of the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army in one go, were bleeding on the defensive line, and had to temporarily retreat after losing many troops.

"Damn, what's going on? Didn't you say that those Fuso people had lost their fighting spirit? Why are they still so tough? A colonel officer of the U.S. Army asked. His regiment had been rushing to the front, but it was hit hard by the Fuso Army and had to retreat.

"Who knows? Maybe it's a return to the past. These Fuso dwarfs have already suffered heavy losses and will not last long. Another Australian colonel said. None of them believed that the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army would be able to hold out despite the heavy blow.

"Da Da Da!" The machine guns on the positions were roaring, and the dense bullets were fired at the attacking American and Australian forces. Bullets easily pierced fragile human bodies, taking their lives.

"Boom!" An M2 medium tank of the 4th Armored Division of the US Army swaggered to a place less than 100 meters away from the position of the Fuso Army, and the tank gun immediately opened fire, and a heavy machine gun that was firing was blown into parts.

"Yaga! Takeda-kun, you take people to blow up the tanks of the Americans. A Fuso Army officer ordered.

"Yes, sir." Takeda then climbed out of the trench with two men, holding cluster grenades. They first crawled forward and approached the M2 medium tank. When he was not far from the tank, he jumped up again, pulled the cluster grenade in his arms with the lead, placed it on the tank, and blew it up. The armor of the M2 medium tank was so weak that a cluster grenade was enough to blow through its armor.

It's just that this set of tactics seems simple, but if you want to succeed, it is not so easy. Because the Americans' M2 medium tank has five 7.62mm machine guns, which is enough to provide the tank with strong self-defense capabilities. In addition, there were some American soldiers who followed the tank and provided protection for the tank. Therefore, it is undoubtedly very difficult to blow up a tank by manpower.

"It's now, up!" Takeda roared and jumped from the ground first, rushing towards the U.S. M2 medium tank. The other two Fuso soldiers also followed in his footsteps and attacked.

The Fusang soldiers who retreated and jumped out made the US tank a little stunned, and the armored soldiers in the tank naturally knew what these Fusang soldiers wanted to do.

"****, machine gun fire quickly, cut down those Fuso dwarfs. And what about the infantry in the back? Why didn't they fire yet? Are they ****? The commander yelled angrily. The armor of the tanks although provided them with protection. But once this weak layer of armor is blown through, the armorers inside will die.

"Da Da Da!" The tank's machine gun fired, and one of the Fuso soldiers did not dodge and was killed directly.

Takeda and another Fuso soldier narrowly escaped the tank's machine gun and rushed to the tank's corner. However, the U.S. soldiers who were fighting behind the tanks also reacted, and they opened fire with rifles, submachine guns and assault rifles in their hands.

No sooner had Takeda placed the lead cluster grenade on top of the tank than he was hit and fell headlong to the ground. Another Fuso soldier was hit before he could place the cluster grenade.

"Boom!" The cluster grenade exploded, knocking the M2 medium tank into ruins.

After the tank was blown up, the American troops fighting behind the tank were exposed, and they were strafed by the machine gun fire of the Fuso Army, and they died cleanly.

The 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army suddenly became stubbornly resistant, which made the attacking US-Australian coalition forces a little uncomfortable, and for a time there was no way to take the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army. And this also bought enough time for the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army.

"Damn, what's going on at the front? Why haven't you broken through the defenses of those Fuso dwarfs yet? Admiral MacArthur said impatiently. The battle has been going on for a long time, and the Chinese are not fools, and they will definitely not sit idly by while watching the defense line of the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army be broken through. Once their reinforcements arrive, it is unlikely that the US-Australian coalition will want to break through this line.

"Your Excellency, Commander, according to reports from the front, the counterattack of the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army has become stronger. Our troops, completely blocked by them, damaged the attack. Lieutenant General Witt said with a dark face.

Admiral MacArthur's face suddenly became very ugly.

"It seems that those Fuso dwarfs have rekindled their confidence. And the only thing that can make them regain their confidence is only one possibility. That's when their reinforcements arrived, or were about to arrive. Admiral MacArthur said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, what are we going to do? If we can't break through the defense line of the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army, then won't our offensive be in vain? "Lieutenant General Werther was a little anxious. You know, in order to break through the defense line of the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army, they paid a great price. The 4th Panzer Division lost more than two-thirds of its tanks. Armored vehicles also lost quite a bit. The other two infantry divisions also paid heavy losses. If they fall short in the end, isn't the loss they paid in vain?

"How do I know what to do? Let the front line intensify the offensive. Before the Chinese reinforcements appeared, they defeated the Fusang dwarf, and then built a defensive line on the spot to block the Chinese reinforcements. Admiral MacArthur ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Witt nodded, this was already a useless solution.

It's just that even if the US-Australian coalition understands that imperial reinforcements are coming and strengthens the offensive, it is still useless. The brigade heavy tank company and the 1st tank battalion of the 14th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army have already left for the battlefield. The 11th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army, as well as the 1st Regiment of the 13th Infantry Division, also followed the tanks to the front.

Although the 14th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army sent only one heavy tank company and one medium tank battalion, with 18 'Tiger' heavy tanks and 72 'Leopard 2' medium tanks, the number was not much. However, the attack power is very strong, and it is no longer under one of the armored divisions of the Americans.

90 tanks, directly rushed to the position and launched an attack on the 4th Panzer Division of the US Army. It was like a spear, and it had the posture of piercing through the ranks of the American troops.

Eighteen Tiger heavy tanks were at the front, forming the sharpest spear point, followed by 72 Leopard 2 medium tanks.

A 'Tiger' heavy tank came to a halt, and the tank gun aimed at an M2 medium tank three hundred meters to their left.

"Boom!" The tank gun fired. Orange-red flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and a cannonball was already whistling out. In half a second, the shell hit the M2 medium tank of the American army.

The 88mm tank gun was so powerful that it easily pierced the armor of the M2 medium tank, slaughtering the panzers inside, and at the same time causing the ammunition to detonate, blowing the entire tank into a pile of scrap metal.

"Boom!" The Imperial Army was equipped with tanks with powerful tank guns that were capable of destroying American tanks at long distances. In addition, the sighting equipment was also very advanced, so the tanks of the Imperial Army generally chose to fire at a distance. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the tanks of the Imperial Army can destroy the enemy's tanks and at the same time protect themselves to the greatest extent.

When the tanks of the Imperial Army rushed to their positions and launched an attack on the 4th Panzer Division of the American Army, the American troops were completely stunned. All they saw was their own tanks and armoured vehicles and half-tracks, one after the other. The rate of loss is very fast, very staggering.

At this time, even fools knew that the armored forces of the Chinese were killed. The only thing that can deal with the 4th Armored Division of the US Army so cleanly is undoubtedly the armored forces of the Chinese.

Although, they have long known that the armored forces of the Chinese army are very powerful, and on the battlefield in the Philippines, the American troops who fought did not have the slightest temper. On the battlefield of Soviet Russia, the huge armored forces of Soviet Russia suffered heavy losses. Now, having experienced it firsthand, they know that this is not an exaggeration. The tanks of the Chinese Army also made the Americans feel what a real tank is.

The tracks of the Tiger tank ran over the trenches, and the turret was turning, looking for a target. Immediately after aiming at the target, the driver stopped, and the gunner fired the shell in less than a second. An armored car of the US army, which was five hundred meters away from them, was directly blown to pieces. Several American soldiers, who were hiding behind the armored car, were also killed.

The appearance of the armored forces of the Imperial Army immediately contained the offensive momentum of the American army. And, with the few remaining tanks and armored vehicles of the US 4th Panzer Division losing more and more of them, they are also about to be routed. (To be continued.) )
