Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!

Chapter 44: The Fateful Battle 1

The loud explosion brought Matsui, who was still immersed in his infinite reverie, back to reality.

He suddenly realized that everyone around him was looking at him and the ugly appearance of the guard who was pressing on him in astonishment.

Even Matsui, whose face was as thick as a city wall, showed a trace of embarrassment, but he quickly returned to his normal expression.

At this moment, the guard who was pressing on him also hurriedly stood up, but the towering protrusion was too eye-catching.

Everyone turned their heads away, unable to look at this extremely heart-moving scene.

Matsui let out a long breath while holding that thing, as if he was desperately suppressing a certain desire in his body.

"Baga Yalu! Why did the Chinese artillery open fire again? What on earth is the artillery squadron doing? Kill them now!"

However, this time Matsui was not as angry and embarrassed as he was just now. Instead, he was secretly grateful for the bombardment from the opposite side.

The regiment's direct artillery adjusted its firing angle again and began to suppress the newly emerged opposing artillery positions.

"Oshima-kun! You launch an attack on Ping'an County immediately. I will equip you with a tank squadron to act together. I hope we can enter this county and have lunch before noon!"

Matsui gave the order to attack to Lieutenant Colonel Oshima who was standing not far away.

After a while, more than a dozen armored vehicles and a battalion of Japanese troops began to attack Ping'an County!

The direction of their attack was the area attacked by the National Salvation Army the day before yesterday, where a section of the city wall showed obvious signs of collapse.

It was dark before, and the 31st Regiment did not notice this situation. Now that it was bright, the officers of the 31st Regiment could naturally see it clearly through their telescopes.

After suppressing all the artillery in the city, the 31st Regiment's direct artillery squadron concentrated more than half of its artillery and began to bombard the gap.

The city wall, which had already collapsed by nearly half, finally made a loud bang under the bombardment of countless artillery shells.

This nearly 30-meter-long section of the city wall collapsed completely. Through the telescope, Matsui saw countless soldiers running back and forth there.

They braved the artillery fire and threw sacks into the gap one by one.

Haha! You stupid Chinese people, do you think you can stop the locust army's armored forces with just these broken sacks? You are overestimating your own abilities!

"Be careful, the Japanese are launching a ground attack!" We just need to hold the gap. The longer we can hold the enemy back, the greater our chances of winning!"

Zhang Biao braved the Japanese artillery fire and ran back and forth on the city wall to cheer on the soldiers defending the city.

This was the first time in the true sense that they faced a regiment-level attack from the Japanese since their formation. It would be unrealistic for them to say that they were not nervous and had no fear in their hearts.

Most of these soldiers were defeated by the Japanese. In fact, to be honest, there were few National Army troops of this era who had not suffered losses or lost battles at the hands of the Japanese.

The Japanese attacking forces did not rush towards the gap in the city wall in a swarm, but slowly approached the city wall in a dispersed formation under the cover of five armored vehicles.

"Don't use the rocket launcher yet. Wait until the Japanese tanks get closer and then attack them together. Don't scare the Japanese away!"

Qian Wei has now become the commander of the 1st Regiment of the st Brigade. At this moment, he is lying on the battlements of the city wall, looking at the Japanese tanks in the distance, and shouting to his subordinates who seem a little nervous.

Hearing the words of the regiment commander, everyone couldn't help but cheer up. Yes! What's there to be afraid of when encountering the Japanese tanks?

Wouldn't it be better to just fire a rocket at them?

When the Japanese troops entered within 400 meters, the heavy machine gun positions on the wall began firing. More than a dozen heavy machine guns fired dense rain of bullets at the Japanese troops 300 to 400 meters away.

The Japanese did not expect that the Chinese troops on the wall had so many heavy machine guns. Even if the attacking team was dispersed, they were still caught off guard.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers were hit by heavy machine gun bullets, which basically shattered whatever they hit.

If you are bitten, there is basically no chance of survival. If you are shot in the body instead of the limbs, one shot will basically leave a big hole in the body.

Some of them had their bodies shot in two, with their limbs shot, basically leaving them disabled. Even in later times, if their limbs were bitten by heavy machine gun bullets, they would have to undergo amputation to save their lives!

The violent heavy machine gun bullets not only wreaked havoc in the infantry ranks, but even an armored vehicle was not spared.

I don’t know if this heavy machine gunner was so excited about the battle that he forgot the task assigned before the battle, which was to just let them attract the enemy.

You can't fight too brutally, but this guy obviously forgot that. His Maxim machine gun fired hard and accurately.

After killing more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, the remaining Japanese soldiers saw that the situation was not right and immediately lay down.

Wang Tianyun, who suddenly had no target to shoot, was itching to shoot and had completely forgotten the instructions given by his company commander before the battle.

He aimed at the armored vehicle that was within the range of his machine gun, and the armored vehicle seemed to be targeting him as well.

So the two sides began to shoot at each other to the extreme. The Japanese armored vehicle was equipped with two Type 250 heavy machine guns, but one was fed by a magazine, and the other was fed by a -round belt.

The Japanese heavy machine gunner in the armored vehicle saw the machine gun position on the top of the city wall with flames coming out from it from time to time, and immediately turned the gun towards there and pulled the trigger desperately.

For a moment, the bricks and stones of the battlements of the city wall in front of Wang Tianyun were collapsed by the violent bullets, and many small brick and stone fragments directly hit his face and head.

Fortunately, he was wearing a German 1935 steel helmet, so he didn't suffer any injuries, except for several bloody cuts on his face.

Wang Tianyun did not choose to avoid it, but instead, he got excited and directly operated the Maxim gun to face the heavy machine gun bullets of the Japanese.

He also fired Maxim bullets at the arrogant Japanese armored vehicle.

The bullets flew along a ray towards the Japanese battlefield, first splashing a long string of mud and debris on the ground in front of the armored vehicle.

As the bullet's trajectory was fine-tuned, it hit the armored vehicle with a "ding ding da da" sound. At this moment, the Japanese soldiers inside were not very worried.

But the front armor was constantly hit by bullets shot from the opposite city wall. It was a continuous hit. Who on earth are you on the opposite side? You can actually suppress the trajectory of the heavy machine gun in continuous shooting so well.

Watching the iron body of the tank in front of them begin to turn into large bulges and pits, the Japanese soldiers in the tank began to panic.

If the enemy continues to hit his armored vehicles so accurately, the armor plates in front of him will probably collapse after a few shots.

"Ding ding" the sharp sound of bullets hitting the steel plates did not stop.

"Puff, puff", the sound of bullets piercing through flesh was heard several times in succession. Half of the head of the Japanese armored vehicle shooter was shattered by the flying bullets that pierced the armor plate and changed the trajectory.

Soon, an armored vehicle stalled, stopped, and began to emit thick black smoke under Wang Tianyun's continuous shooting.

This scene was like pouring a cup of ice water into a frying pan, which aroused the fighting spirit of all the Chinese soldiers on the city wall.

No one cared about the pre-war arrangements anymore, and all the heavy machine gunners pointed their guns at the Japanese tanks not far away.

They never thought that the Maxim heavy machine gun in front of them could actually penetrate the Japanese tanks.

They had experimented on their own Type 3 tanks before the war and found that heavy machine guns were simply incapable of effectively penetrating tanks. However, they did not expect to encounter such an unexpected result on the Japanese tanks.

For a time, the Japanese armored vehicles participating in the attack were in trouble. They were not real armored vehicles at all, but some cars with some steel plates added.

It's OK to defend against some small-caliber rifles and powerful machine guns, but it's more troublesome to encounter heavy machine guns with a slightly larger caliber.

Not only the Japanese's modified armored vehicles, but also their Type 95 and Type 97 thin-skinned tanks could be penetrated by heavy machine guns.

"Bagayalu! Order the front line to suspend the attack!" Watching several armored vehicles under the city stall and burn one after another.

The locust soldiers inside never came out, and Matsui only felt waves of pain in his chest.

"Fire! Fire! Teach these damned Tou-Chi-Na people a lesson!"

Matsui yelled hysterically at the artillery squadron not far away!
