Chapter 296: Unity(1/2)
"boom!"
"boom!"
The Japanese soldiers who were not aware of their lives and even set up machine guns to prepare for shooting. Yuan Li and the others were not polite, and they shot two shots directly into the soul. In an instant, sandbags and soil were blown up to the sky.
How could this small sentry withstand the attack of two 37 guns? The dust flying around was accompanied by the wreckage of several Japanese corpses.
The sergeant quickly took the surviving soldiers to retreat to the bottom of the mountain. How dare these people in his hands fight against the armored troops head-on.
Ten armored vehicles stood upright and continued to move forward at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. Before passing through this small hill, a flat open area suddenly appeared.
And 600 meters behind them, 20 armored transport vehicles and a battalion of infantry followed closely behind.
Yuan Li frowned and stared at the Japanese position that was surging in the distance. He immediately pressed the intercom button: "Deputy Commander Hong, we are 200 meters away from the Japanese position. We are going to speed up, and the infantry must keep up!"
"Received! Received!"
After saying that, Hong Mu put down his machine and stood in the car and ordered the soldiers: "Everyone runs and follow the armored vehicles, hurry up!"
...
"Enter the line of defense!"
"Hao Ku! Move..."
"The war defense cannon is ready!"
There were constant shouts on the Japanese positions. After receiving the signal, the Japanese hurriedly entered the post. Although they had a brief panic, they responded quickly under the command of their respective commanders.
The defenders in Mangshi had a brigade of 1,000 people. Except for the strongholds along the road, most of the Japanese soldiers were concentrated on the outskirts of the town.
But when they saw dozens of armored vehicles attacking them, all the Japanese soldiers felt a little sad. What the hell is this? When did the Chinese have so many armored troops?
However, no one gave them the answer. The 10 armored vehicles at the top completed the queue reorganization and rushed towards the enemy in two sagittal formations at full speed.
"Open fire!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The shells exploded on the Japanese positions, and the dust was flying all over the sky, and the smoke instantly blocked the view. Ten 37mm anti-tank guns fired volleys and covered the Japanese in front.
"fight back!"
"Da da da da da da..."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Japanese immediately launched a counterattack, and the various machine gun fired desperately, and the grenade launcher was not willing to be outdone and fired grenades.
The dense bullets hit the SDKFZ251 armored vehicle and only splashed countless sparks. The soldiers inside were not affected at all. Even the explosion shrapnel could not cause damage to them.
Dingling was ringing on the bulletproof grille outside the windshield. Yuan Li hurriedly grabbed the machine and shouted loudly: "Aim at those fire points and continue to fire and suppress them!"
"Can't you!"
There were three soldiers operating the artillery position behind the vehicle. The main gunner roughly aimed and pushed the shell into the barrel.
"put!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Japanese's position once again fell from a rain of bullets.
"Quick! Cannonball!"
"Crack!"
The main gunner quickly opened the barrel and pulled out of the shell. The deputy also hurriedly handed over the shell and loaded the shells in again without any hesitation.
"put!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The 37mm anti-tank gun has a simple loading and a relatively fast firing rate. A skilled gunner can shoot 15 shells in almost one minute.
It’s just that it’s difficult for gunners to aim on the marching tanks, but they have the advantage in number and do not require too precise shooting, as long as the firepower covers it.
After the first few rounds of attacks, the Japanese frontier positions began to appear, and Yuan Li's vanguard was about to rush into the trenches.
"Swish...bang!"
A war defense cannon hit one of the armored vehicles. Obviously, the 15mm thick front armor could not withstand the attack of the war defense cannon, and the armored vehicle was directly bombarded into a fireball.
"Swish..." Another shell came. This time the Japanese accurately hit the cannon of another armored vehicle. The flames caused the ammunition in the warehouse to explode. With several violent explosions, the armored vehicle instantly turned into a pile of scrap iron, and the soldiers inside were even more crushed to pieces...
"Damn it! All the vehicles are dispersed! Give them oil and rush in!"
Yuan Li shouted loudly at the top of his voice, and the remaining 8 armored vehicles quickly adjusted their formation, increased the accelerator and rushed towards the Japanese on the position.
Squeak squeak squeak squeak...
"Escape!"
"Ah! Save me..."
The crawlers grinded their harsh sounds on the ground, and the Japanese who were still able to move quickly evacuated, while the injured and unable to move could only lie on the ground and wail.
The armored convoy would not be polite to them. Regardless of whether his body or living people, he pressed over and crushed these evil monkeys into meat dumps.
Seeing that the position was about to be lost, the Japanese commander immediately ordered the soldiers to rush towards the chariot with explosive bags, trying to destroy the armored vehicles with suicide attacks.
"Battle! Onboard!"
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
There is also a mg3 machine gun behind each armored vehicle. The machine gunners rushed towards the Japanese devils with their teeth and claws.
The soldiers in Houkuang also picked up the submachine gun and opened fire at the enemy through the shooting holes on the side armor. The sudden projectiles beat the Japanese to dance on the spot.
A Japanese man hid quietly in the trenches, and the armored vehicle was less than 10 meters away from him. As the vehicle slowly moved forward, it became closer and closer to his hiding place.
Seeing that the distance was almost done, the Japanese soldier decisively opened the lead, picked up the explosive bag and leaped:
"Tianluo on board!...Boom!"
The soldiers on the armored vehicle had no time to react, and the tracks were blown off by a sudden sneak attack, and the vehicle lay down on its original position.
Seeing that the attack worked, more and more Japanese soldiers rushed over in the rain of bullets, because they knew that if they didn't stop these armored vehicles, the entire position would be cut through!
The armored vehicle was unable to move due to damage to the tracks, and instantly became the target of the Japanese's key attack. The projectiles hit the steel plates with crackling pressure, suppressing the soldiers and daring to attack.
At this time... the Japanese threw two grenades with blue smoke into the open roof of the armored vehicle's back compartment.
Boom! Boom!
The squirting shrapnel blew the soldiers inside into sieve, and the people in the cab were not spared and were brutally shot and killed by the Japanese who climbed onto the roof of the car.
"Damn it, all the vehicles are moving closer to me, don't stop, keep rushing forward!"
Yuan Li felt like he was bleeding in his heart when he saw this scene. The armored vehicles were still not as good as tanks and were too susceptible to infantry attacks.
Suddenly, there was another riot on the Japanese defense line, and Hong Mu's second echelon also entered the battlefield. They rushed into the Japanese position along the opening opened by Yuan Li.
The machine guns on the armored vehicles shot out fire snakes, constantly harvesting the enemy's lives. The infantry moved forward under the cover of the vehicle, immediately assaulted horizontally after entering the position, quickly splitting and surrounding the enemy.
The fierce battle continued, but the Japanese defense line was broken, and they could not stop the sporting car and the full-scale attack was coordinated. The Japanese captain had no choice but to order a retreat.
But how can two legs run past the wheeled half-track chariot? The 27 armored vehicles passed through the Japanese positions but did not stop, but continued to drive forward because their target was the last line of defense outside the town.
The infantry behind him had already dragged the Japanese army, and it was too late to withdraw from the town to defend themselves.
More than twenty armored vehicles rushed into the Mangshi town like a bamboo shoot. The Japanese left behind could not resist the assault of the steel torrent, and could only be forced to retreat into the city. The last line of defense was opened by Yuan Li again.
"Get out! Get out!"
With a "bang", the tailgate was opened heavily, and the driver immediately called the soldiers out of the car and prepared for the battle.
The twenty armored vehicles followed behind each were loaded with soldiers of a squad. After arriving at the position, more than 200 soldiers began to "unload" the goods in squads, and under the command of their respective squad leaders, they cooperated with the armored vehicles and gradually swept the city.
"Da da da da da da da...!"
On a small building at a corner, seven or eight Japanese Japanese attacked the soldiers of the Third Division who were charging below, surrounding a Type 92 heavy machine gun.
"Puff! Puff!"
"Hurry and hide!"
As soon as the soldier emerged, the bullets shot from him knocked down the fastest three soldiers to the ground, and the remaining people hurriedly hid in the surrounding buildings.
"Monkey Zhou, take the two of you to take the heavy machine gun upstairs to me! The rest should be covered by my orders!" The squad leader leaned against the corner of the wall and issued the order decisively.
"yes!"
The bullets from top to bottom hit the wall and made a squeal sound. The squad leader slightly exposed half of his head, estimating the gap between the opponent's firepower: "One! Two! Three...attack!"
“Haosh…!”
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
The soldiers suddenly leaned out and fired all out. The terrifying barrage covered the fire point like a splash of ink. The two Japanese machine gunners were instantly beaten into mud.
"Quick, get on!"
The soldier named Zhou called two companions and rushed forward with a shotgun.
However, what was unexpected was that a fire snake suddenly erupted from a window house on the second floor of this small building, and a light machine gun was ambushed there.
