Chapter Ninety-Three: Brutal Anti-Tank Battle (4)
It was almost noon, and it was already lunch time, but Shao Bigang and the others didn't feel hungry. Except for Zhang Jun, who was lying on the edge of the trench and monitoring the advance of the tank, the others sat in groups of three or four at the entrance of the air-raid shelter and anti-artillery hole, and they pricked up their ears to listen to the roar of the motor not far away. The sound of the motor sounded in place, and many people unconsciously stuck out their tongues and chapped lips, and their hearts beat sharply with a very uncompetitive "dong dong".
The smoke had almost dispersed, and the tank crew's field of vision suddenly widened. Under the leadership of Naokawa, twenty-one tanks with three "Quirrells" as the leaders lined up in a cone formation. In the interval between tanks, the soldiers of Ryoki Moto's brigade were ready to attack. Behind the cone formation of people and vehicles, Takaki Kaichi personally led a large group of soldiers to set up the formation in three waves of marching.
At this time, Gao Shujiayi picked up the walkie-talkie and began to summon artillery support, and then issued a speech saying: In order to maintain the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army, he decided that the whole team would have a collective meal after arriving at Wen'an City, so as to teach the arrogant Renqiu government and the cadets a painful lesson!
It was already better to shoot Zhu Yuan, and after the shooting just now, there was almost no need to aim, and with a wave of Tu Feiyuan's right hand, more than a dozen shells roared and smashed down towards the first trench.
The tenacity of the Cadet was beyond the expectations of Dohirahara and Nakano, and the attack did not go as smoothly as planned. Although the message sent back by Gao Shujia was to inflict huge damage on the enemy, he couldn't even break through the enemy's first line of defense, so what was the point of killing no matter how big the damage was.
Just now, Tu Feiyuan received a telegram from Takashi Sakai from Yidong, saying that there was internal strife in Yidong, and Yin Rugeng's puppet army could not make the trip for the time being, so he must form a de facto breakthrough with Wen'an as soon as possible, only in this way can the forces of the puppet army in Yidong be able to unify their thinking and completely obey Yin Rugeng's orders.
"These people are the grass on the wall! This Yin Rugeng is too uncourageous, and he can't even do this little thing!" After reading the telegram, Doihara hated itchy, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to secretly ask Amaterasu for help so that he could take down Wen'an in one go. Otherwise, not to mention that those ministers in the country will take the opportunity to make trouble, even Nanjiro will not have a good time. For example, the "128 Incident" was actually initiated by a few officers without authorization. And the reason why those officers were not held accountable after the fact was that they were rewarded because they brought tangible benefits to Japan.
At the insistence and command of Tu Feiyuan, this round of shelling lasted for half an hour. The few dozen or so cannons were stunned to almost blow up the trench before they stopped.
As soon as the sound of the cannon stopped, Gao Shu Kaichi, who was already waiting impatiently, immediately gave the order to attack, and after a while, the sound of the tank's motor roared again, and then, under the cover of more than 20 tanks, more than 2,000 devils rushed to the first line of defense of the Cadet Division.
"Zhang Jun, you're fine, right?!" After the cannon stopped, Shao Bigang picked up the dust covering his body and asked loudly.
During the shelling just now, many of the holes in the anti-artillery shelters and bomb shelters were buried in the mud. Fortunately, everyone stayed at the entrance of the cave, and under the timely cleanup, no one was buried alive, but a few people died on the spot.
Zhang Jun had been lying in a bunker made of dirt on the edge of the trench when a shell exploded next to him and broke his left calf. He endured the pain and responded loudly: "I'm fine, devil, devil has already started attacking!" ”
"Fang Zhengyun?" Shao Bi just started the roll call.
"I'm here."
…… After half an hour of shelling, with only fifteen of the twenty-three people alive, Shao Bigang felt a little sorry and asked, "Brothers, do you regret staying?!" ”
Zhang Jun said loudly: "Don't regret it, we will be a good man again in 20 years!" ”
"Good brother!"
"Battalion commander, you should get down."
"I've broken a leg, and it's better to trade it for a tank than to survive. Do you remember what I said earlier? ”
"Remember, when the devil tank wants to drive over us......"
Zhang Jun shouted loudly: "It's less than two hundred meters!" ”
The crowd stopped talking, and for a moment, the air around them became a little heavy.
There was a violent explosion of "boom", and the little devil's tank began to fire. "Damn, I remember that Lao Tzu hasn't tasted a woman yet!" A soldier nicknamed Lao Genzi said as he rubbed the bolt of the barge gun.
"Lao Genzi, when I go down to the underworld, I will definitely tell you about the daughter-in-law!" Shao Bigang swore and said.
"Battalion commander, you have to count when you talk, I want to marry someone like Nurse Pan."
"Dog's greedy enough, that's our teacher's wife!"
In the roar of the motor that was getting louder and louder, Lao Genzi laughed "hehe". At this time, Zhang Jun shouted in a low voice: "Brothers, I'll go first!" Then, a puff of dirt suddenly flew up on Shao Bigang's head, and Zhang Jun jumped out of cover with one leg - "Da Da Da!" "Phew! Bang! ......" Immediately, machine guns, rifles rang out. Shao Bigang glanced at Lao Genzi, who was closest to him, and his face suddenly became solemn.
There were only more than 100 meters left from the first line of defense of the Cadet Division, and Naokawa suddenly had a trance-the enemy's position was too quiet, if it was just now, the opposite side would have already sounded "ping pong", this excessive silence made people feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. He shouted over the walkie-talkie, "Give me all the spirits, heavy, aim at the edge of the trench." ”
"Hello!"
There were still fifty meters away from the trench, and the opposite side was still quiet, Naokawa swallowed and spitted and shouted: "Accelerate, accelerate, rush over!" In the back, 'North Manchu' pay attention to cover! ”
The three "Quirrells" emitted a large amount of black smoke neatly, and their speed suddenly increased to the limit, and they quickly rushed towards the trench that was clearly visible in front of them. The bean chariot behind split into two parts, one accelerating and the other stopping to fire heavily at suspicious targets.
Seeing that the chariot began to accelerate, Ryoki Yuan waved his hand with a pistol, and shouted at the same time: "The soldiers in front are ready for hand-to-hand combat!" As he shouted, the Devil Soldiers, who were following closely behind the three Quirrells, began to run, pulling the bolts of their guns and withdrawing their bullets. The devils of the brigade under the personal command of Gao Shu Kaichi scattered in all directions, and according to the way of advancing in three waves, the devils of the first wave lay down on the spot and set up rifles, machine guns, mortars, and grenadiers to aim in the direction of the trenches, and the devils in the back crossed about 50 meters or so, and the devils of the second wave also lay down. The devils of the first wave climbed up, and the devils of the third wave rushed forward after the devils of the second wave followed the Ryoki Yuan brigade......
Gao Shu Jiayi's arrangement can be said to really hit the fate of the death squad to exchange himself for a tank, Zhang Jun just rushed out of the bunker, hundreds of 38 rifles and a few crooked machine guns roared at the same time, his body had not yet stretched, dozens of bullets hit him at the same time, the huge impact force made his body appear in the air for a moment, and later, he fell to the ground like an empty sack.
"Alert!" Frightened by the first blow of the Cadet Division, Ryoki Yuan instinctively shouted. Naokawa was facing the direction that Zhang Jun pounced on, and when he saw the bundle of grenades he was holding under his armpit, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and then roared like crazy: "Assault, assault at full speed!" ”
didn't hear a violent explosion, Shao Bigang and the others sank in their hearts, and they all clearly guessed Zhang Jun's fate. Shao Bi stood up violently, officially supporting his body in one stroke, a bundle of grenades clamped tightly under his armpit, and the index finger of his left hand reached into the pull ring, ready to be pulled at any time. His eyes were surprisingly calm, and people who didn't know the truth of the Tao might think that he was falling into some kind of memory when they saw his expression at the moment.
Lao Genzi breathed heavily, feeling an unprecedented pressure pressing his heart. He looked at the battalion commander not far away, and got a hint of comfort from his calm expression, he coughed twice, cleared his throat, and blurted out a five-tone incomplete melody a little abruptly - "Send comrades-in-arms, embark on the journey......"
The tension and oppression fell on the heads of every soldier who volunteered to stay, they stood or crouched, clutching the cluster grenade in their arms, their fingers sticking into the pull ring, ready to detonate at any moment, their eyes firmly pressed against the top of the trench, waiting for the appearance of the steel monster.
In view of the previous experience of almost all the death squads being wiped out, Shao Bigang believed that the best way to die with the enemy's "turtle cart" was not to rush out of the trench and take the initiative to find it, but to wait in the trench. Zhang Jun's sacrifice proved the correctness of his decision, and also strengthened the belief that the dead soldiers would win. Many people shouted in their hearts: "Come on, come on, come at Lao Tzu!" I just hope that I won't die in vain, so why do I have to take a "turtle car" to not be a discount.
A "Quirrell" tracked quickly onto the trench, and its front end immediately hit the other end of the trench. The chariot did not appear to sink in front as expected, and the devil driver Asagiyo Masashi sighed that the span of 2.5 meters of "Quirrell" was not imaginary, and he was relieved in his heart, but he heard a ghost cry from the Okakura sword above, and then, with a muffled sound of "boom", a thick smoke mixed with flames flooded his field of vision, and the chariot was shaking violently, and a hole was opened on the side, and several shrapnel pierced his body under the help of fireworks, and he only felt a sense of pain, The horizon that was still sunny just now suddenly turned into pitch black - the world seemed to disappear all at once!
