Chapter 114: Fierce Battle (3)

As the speed of the Japanese tanks plummeted, the battle defense guns hidden behind the big trees kept adjusting the gun distance, as long as Tang Cheng gave the order to open the gun, the battle defense guns could immediately bomb the Type 97 medium tank, which looked the most sturdy, into a fireball. Staring at the position of those Japanese tanks, Tang Cheng, who was hiding behind the bushes, suddenly waved his arms, and the soldiers who had been hiding and waiting for him immediately pulled down the strings in their hands.

"Boom...... Rumble...... The power of the "combo" bundled ...... explosives and grenades is undoubted, but the sound of the explosion is different from anything you have heard before. Seeing that the tree trunk that was blown up at waist level immediately fell to the side of the road, Tang Cheng's most worried heart also went away, whether it was a professional demolition personnel or a non-professional, as long as these big trees fell and trapped these Japanese tanks, his idea would be half successful!

The aftermath of the explosion was still wafting through the forest, and the bearded old Dongbei had already pulled the trigger of the MZ42 machine gun, and the rain of bullets rushed out of the muzzle and went straight to the Japanese infantry guarding the tanks. Although the fallen tree failed to hit a Japanese tank, the suddenness of the incident did not widen the distance between the Japanese tanks' vehicles in advance, and the fallen trees had a numerical advantage, and the Japanese tanks wanted to crush these trees and leave, I am afraid it would not be possible to complete it in a while.

The trees fell, a Japanese tank in front of the mouth chose to brake sharply, and the armored target that lost speed was undoubtedly the most pleasant for the battle defense gunners. The first Japanese tank, which was blocked by the trunk, was immediately fired by the anti-aircraft guns, and the violent explosion killed the tankmen and the hitchhiking infantry almost instantly, and the second Soviet tank could not escape: the anti-aircraft guns with the muzzles were laid flat at a distance of less than 50 meters, and the moment the shells hit the tank hull, the tragic fate of the Japanese tank was announced.

The entire forest seemed to tremble under the impact of the violent explosion, and the dead branches and leaves on the branches fell one after another, along with the fragile branches. With the power of the anti-aircraft artillery, the soldiers of the second company also rushed to roar all kinds of guns, and the bullets were fired intensively at the Japanese infantry in the forest, and the unlucky ones who had no time to hide suddenly fell more than a dozen.

Although ordinary bullets were not enough to threaten the armor of the tank, because the two Japanese tanks at the head of the platoon were destroyed by the anti-aircraft guns, the three Japanese tanks behind could not find a suitable angle of attack for a while. In vain, they hit the tree with the body of the car to open the way, but the trunk of the tree that they broke blocked their way even more, making the trap set by Tang Cheng even more perfect.

Unexpectedly, the small group of defeated soldiers would ambush here, the Japanese officers and soldiers were in disarray, the infantry was overwhelmed, and the remaining three tanks were huddled together and could not move. Tang Cheng, who had been hiding behind the bushes, was not busy shooting, he calmly observed and analyzed the battlefield, although this group of Japanese troops was passive, their strength was far superior to that of the second company after all. The second company only has one battle defense gun in its hand, and this ambush is also because they occupy the terrain and take the lead to temporarily gain the upper hand, once these Japanese troops find a chance to breathe, it will be the second company that is at a disadvantage, after all, the second company only has a combat strength of 40 people.

"Boom" and "boom" two explosions, the desperate Japanese tank finally found the battle defense gun hidden behind the big tree, and the two Type 97 medium tanks guarding the bean tank fired shells at the battle defense gun, although the big tree covered most of the shrapnel for the gunners of the 30th Army, but the battle defense gun hidden next to the big tree was overturned by the shells. Seeing that the battle defense artillery was overturned by the fire of the Japanese tanks, Tang Cheng behind the bushes got up and shouted to charge, without the battle defense artillery, the second company had no hope of victory at all, but it was withdrawn like this, Tang Cheng was a little difficult to accept.

Hearing the order to attack, Lao Dongbei was indeed the first to get up and rush forward, except for the soldiers who operated the machine guns to provide fire support, the men of the second company did not hesitate to devote themselves to the attack. The momentary hesitation of bypassing the bushes made Tang Cheng fall behind again, and he followed behind the skirmisher line with his rifle in his hand, and rushed into his chest with an inexplicable chagrin, but shouldn't he feel fortunate to have encountered similar situations in the past?

Tang Cheng ran forward, and at the same time "took the time" to look back, the artillery of the 30th Army was busy trying to lift up the battle defense guns that had been overturned by the artillery fire. Now that he had already put himself into the attack, Tang Cheng didn't dare to be too distracted, and ran the thick fallen leaves. Attacking three tanks with dozens of escort infantry with 40 infantry with normal guns looks like hitting a stone with an egg. However, many examples of defeating the strong with the weak in history have revealed to future generations that the distinction between the strong and the weak is relative, and as long as the best fighter is grasped, the weak can also reverse and win.

The woods were often the perfect place to cover up the truth, and the soldiers of the 2nd Company shouted and went into the attack, and from the outside of the woods it looked as if countless enemies were rushing at them, and the Japanese soldiers were the first to be psychologically defeated. At a very close distance, the artillery of the Japanese tanks had long been unable to exert its power, and the machine-gun fire was greatly weakened by the trees in the woods, and the men of the second company decisively threw several grenades before they were about to engage the enemy, and their explosions did not pose any threat to the Japanese tanks at all, but greatly obstructed the sight of the Japanese tankers and the accompanying infantry, and made their already panicked psychology suffer a stronger impact.

Before he could enter the battle group, the bullet fired from a Japanese tank in front of him blocked Tang Cheng behind a big tree, and the chirp of the bullet drilling into the trunk still made his heart furious. Although he was no longer so blindly subordinate to his intuition, Tang Cheng was still breathing heavily, leaning against the back of the tree, his right hand raised high and his left hand lowered, and the angle between the Mauser rifle and the ground was more than 60 degrees. When he felt the threat was gone, he carefully and quickly turned to the left and looked over. The damned Japanese tank was slowly reorienting itself by the movement of its tracks, its coaxial machine gun in the turret spewing out vicious tongues of fire, and the bullets that burst out of the muzzle flew in sight with an orange light, threatening every soldier of the second company who entered the battle.

Tang Cheng retracted his head while cursing the damn Japanese soldiers viciously in his heart, and several bullets suddenly whizzed through less than 20 centimeters from his cheeks, Tang Cheng even felt their agitated air currents, and there was an extremely strong consciousness in his mind, he couldn't rush out of the air at this time, and if he went out, he would be beaten into a sieve by the machine guns of the Japanese tanks.

Tang Cheng lowered his head and pushed the ruler of the rifle to 100 meters, took a deep breath, turned 90 degrees to the right, and made the gun level with his shoulder, and the crosshair was set on an earthy yellow figure squatting on the turret of the tank in the distance, holding his breath and exerting force, and after a sixth of a second, the guy fell directly from the turret. Tang Cheng, who was loaded with a bullet, raised his gun again, and once again aimed at the earthy yellow figure standing on the side of the turret of another tank, and the Japanese soldier did not see the danger and still focused on aiming and shooting. Tang Cheng held his breath and pulled the trigger, only to see a small ball of blood suddenly splattered from the front of the steel helmet on the head of the Japanese soldier, and then the whole person collapsed beside the tank.

The brass bullet casings with residual heat tumbled longitudinally and fell from the air, falling silently on the ground covered with thick fallen leaves, Tang Cheng took a half-step to the left, raised his gun and aimed at the next target. Before he could pull the trigger, he saw another shell fired from the Japanese tank in his sight, and subconsciously turned back to look at the position of the battle defense gun.

"Throw grenades, retreat immediately, retreat." The melee in the forest did not tilt the battle situation against the second company, and with the complete lying of the battle defense artillery, Tang Cheng only had the word retreat in his mind. Niu Laogui and the others had already heard Tang Cheng's shout, but most of the soldiers of the second company were very puzzled, seeing that they had already won the victory, why did they suddenly retreat. Niu Laogui, who was puzzled, turned his head to look at Tang Cheng, and with Tang Cheng's gesture to look at the smoke behind him, Niu Laogui's face immediately changed, and he strode to Lao Dongbei's side and kicked the ** of the second company and retreated.

The Japanese soldiers in the woods had gradually come out of their panic by this time, they relied on tanks, trees and terrain to evade the attack, the short machine-gun fire on the side of the second company replaced the previous continuous long fire, the crackling sound of rifle fire sounding exceptionally crisp, and the sound of submachine guns only rang out from time to time. Niu Laogui's scolding and kicking were better than Tang Cheng's shouting, and the soldiers of the second company conveyed the retreat orders to each other, seeing that most of the soldiers had already gotten up and retreated, Tang Cheng fired two shots forward in disguise, and as the distance between the two sides continued to widen, the gunshots and explosions gradually weakened, until they were sparse to only a few sporadic sounds.

After walking several hundred meters, the scumbag-faced old Northeast caught up from behind to ask the reason, and after listening to Tang Cheng's explanation, the old Northeast suddenly realized that without the battle defense artillery, the second company could not deal with the remaining three Japanese tanks at all. The task of the second company was to attract the firepower of the Japanese armored forces and reduce the fire of the Japanese army in the main position.

The speed of the rapid march in the forest was roughly equivalent to a normal march on the road, and after walking for about half an hour, Niu Laogui stopped to wait and watch, and gave Tang Cheng an inquiring look. Tang Cheng didn't want to be a deserter, he originally planned to take a roundabout route, bypassing the Japanese tanks trapped in the woods and returning to the defense line of the 30th Army, anyway, the second company has completed the task, even if the two battle defense guns are lost, I believe that the 30th army will not say anything to the second company.
