The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 252: The Last Day (Part 610) [Additional Chapter for the Color Shadow Master]

In fact, there was no need for Chen Tang to remind them, so he hurriedly shouted "Move quickly".

Artillery is a technical branch of the military, so the gunner of this PAK36 37mm anti-tank gun is a professional that Annie spent a lot of money to get from the Gui army.

He is a talented student who graduated from the artillery department of the Western Guangdong Military Academy and has the rank of captain.

Even after this battle, the future Subei Independent Regiment will be composed of artillery battalion commanders.

So the gunner naturally knew that in such a confrontation between a tank and an anti-tank gun, the latter had better have a sufficiently strong bunker.

What if there is no such thing? Of course, run away.

Otherwise, once the target is exposed, the Japanese will definitely give priority to destroying them.

Therefore, except for the two people carrying the shells, the others, at his command, either dragged the support pillars forward with all their might, or pushed the wheels and gun barrels with all their strength.

The purpose was to move this 330-kilogram anti-tank gun to the next firing point thirty meters away as quickly as possible.

Then continue firing and destroy the remaining two tanks.

Such a transfer can be said to be extremely timely. As soon as they started pushing and pulling the thing to move, dense bullets hit the original hidden firepower point, which was hastily built with wood and bricks and had no defense at all.

After discovering this serious threat, the Japanese army's several light and heavy machine guns turned their guns and fired at this side.

Two or three seconds later, two small melon grenades fired from the grenade launcher fell on the original position as if they had eyes.

An explosion occurred after it landed, blowing the wooden boards used for concealment into pieces.

It can be said that if they had been a little slower, the entire artillery crew would have been scrapped.

But even so, Chen Tang and his team encountered trouble.

The main reason was that the position they were in at the moment was actually the ruins of collapsed houses in Taierzhuang. The ground was full of various bricks, wood and other garbage, and was extremely rugged.

Even walking is difficult for people, let alone moving this big thing with two wheels.

They used all their strength, but the speed at which they moved was as fast as an old lady walking, they couldn't move any faster at all.

Finally, when they were still about ten meters away from the next firing point.

Chen Tang, whose veins on his forehead were bulging from exerting too much force, felt a violent explosion next to him. The scorching shockwave, mixed with fragments and bricks, hit him and instantly lost consciousness...

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Tang woke up.

The first reaction was pain, all over the body.

Especially the calf of his left leg, the pain was so severe that it made him want to go crazy; he managed to raise his head to take a look, and found that his calf was blown off, with only a little bit of flesh connecting it.

Next to him, the crew of the PAK36 37mm anti-tank gun fell to the ground.

The entire artillery group was not killed in the explosion, and many brothers were lying on the ground struggling.

But the most critical figure among them, Gao Caisheng, who was originally reserved for the future artillery battalion commander of the Subei Independent Regiment, had a large dent on the back of his head, which meant he was definitely dead.

The fierce gunfire and explosions continued to ring out, letting him know that the position was still in his hands and the battle was still going on.

For this reason, Chen Tang struggled to sit up and looked towards the main position.

I found that there were still seventy or eighty brothers firing desperately, covering six brothers who were holding DIY anti-tank grenade launchers and trying to approach the Japanese tanks.

Everything indicated that only a very short time had passed after he was blown over.

But even so, the situation is still quite bad.

Because under the crazy suppression of the Japanese, the brothers who rushed forward with DIY anti-tank grenade launchers could not get within a hundred meters of the Japanese tanks.

Instead, within a short period of time, one of them was killed and one was injured.

And when a 37mm shell from a Japanese tank gun hit them, the Type heavy machine gun and three crew members were completely knocked to the ground. Damn! They had lost four men trying to seize this Japanese heavy machine gun, but they didn't expect it to be destroyed so easily.

In short, after taking a quick look, Chen Tang became more determined:
If we don't destroy the two remaining Japanese tanks, there is absolutely no way to hold the position.

Fortunately, after being hit by a shell, he and the crew were all knocked down, but the PAK36 37mm anti-tank gun did not suffer much damage.

Apart from one of the wheels being blown to pieces, only the glass of the optical sight was broken, but it was still able to fire.

The prerequisite is that he can turn this AK36 37mm anti-tank gun and aim the muzzle at the Japanese tank.

"Everyone come and help, point the muzzle of the gun at the Japanese side." After shouting this, Chen Tang knelt down beside the gun body and lifted it up with force.

As a result, when he exerted force, the severe pain from his broken leg almost made him faint, but the heavy gun body did not move at all.

Fortunately, several surviving artillery crew members staggered over and worked together to adjust the gun body.

By the way, fix the support column that fixes the gun body.

The optical sight was broken and could not be used, so Chen Tang opened the breech block and squinted one eye to aim with the muzzle; the distance was only 150 meters, and he didn't believe that he would miss the target after the muzzle was facing the Japanese tank.

After quickly locking onto a Japanese tank, he shouted, "Bomb~"

The next second, a shell that looked like it had been fished out of blood was delivered to him from beside him.

Resisting the urge to turn his head to see how seriously injured the brother who delivered the shell was, Chen Tang stuffed the shell, which was a little sticky due to too much blood, into the barrel and closed the bolt.

"I don't care what brought me here, but let's make a deal. I'll kill myself and lose my kidneys in exchange for a guaranteed hit."

After saying this silently, he pulled the gun cord hard and fired the shell.

I don’t know if aiming with the muzzle of the gun really works, or if he has reached a deal with that mysterious being.

The shell hit the turret of the Japanese tank. Because it was loaded with a fragmentation grenade, the turret was instantly blown away and the crew inside was motionless.

With a cry of "Yeah", Chen Tang couldn't help but cheer.

But his eyes went dark and he almost fainted; it turned out that the wound on his leg had made him extremely weak due to rapid blood loss and he could hardly hold on.

The next second, Chen Tang did something that, when he thought about it, he felt was crazy.

He grabbed the broken leg that was only connected by a little flesh and skin, and tore it off directly. The severe pain made him feel refreshed for a short time.

Seizing the moment, Chen Tang adjusted the steering gear, locked the gun barrel on the last Japanese tank, and loaded the shells.

After doing all this, Chen Tang silently made a sacrifice in his heart: "I am willing to use this shot... Forget it! I can't think of anything else to exchange it for.

Anyway, take whatever you think is suitable, as long as I can hit it with this shot."

Then, the gunners on Chen Tang and the last Japanese tank opened fire almost at the same time, each firing a 37mm fragmentation grenade at the target.

Then, they both hit their respective targets...

Twenty minutes later, Hu Biao covered his waist, which had just been hit by the butt of a gun, with one hand and spat a mouthful of blood at the retreating Japanese soldiers.

It's true that this guy is now very good at hand-to-hand combat because of his improved physical fitness.

But the Japanese were not made of clay. He even suspected that he had internal injuries in one of his kidneys after being hit just now.

At this moment, an old brother from the Subei Independent Regiment, whose survivors were less than ten fingers, and who were the former police officers recruited by Teng County, stumbled over.

He cried out in a tearful voice: "Commander Hu, Commander Chen Tang has died for his country."

"Damn the Japs." Hu Biao cursed and then added another command:
"Nan Ze, Nan Feng, take a platoon with you and take over the position and command of Chen Tang. I don't care whether you live or die, but we can't lose this position."

"Thank you, you idiot!" Mr. Nan Ze greeted him warmly after hearing this...
