Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!
Chapter 48: Fiasco 3
However, the Japanese suicide squad did achieve some results. The tank No. 003 did not receive good coordination from the infantry.
The two infantrymen were so frightened when they saw the Japanese soldiers with grenades tied all over their bodies that they screamed and turned around to run away at the critical moment, which directly led to a Japanese suicide squad member who rushed close to the tank and was shot by the driver who leaned out of the cockpit with a pistol.
However, because they were too close, the cluster grenade still broke one side of the tank's track, and the driver who stuck his head out was also injured by a piece of shrapnel.
Fortunately, there was no danger to life, but the vehicle could no longer move because the track was broken.
An angry company commander nearby aimed several bullets at the two deserters.
"Watch out! Anyone who dares to retreat will die! Even if we all die in battle, we have protected these tanks!"
The company commander yelled loudly at the soldiers of the first company around him, because it was because of their company that the armored battalion lost a precious tank.
There are only 15 such tanks in the entire armored battalion. They are the treasures of the entire army, but now one of them has been destroyed in their hands.
The company commander's eyes were red with tears. The two deserters he shot dead were only 17 years old. They had only been in the army for less than four months, and he didn't want to shoot them.
But this was a battlefield, and everything was governed by military regulations. Anyone escaping during a battle must be executed on the spot, especially since a tank was lost because of them.
Even if they are not shot now, they will not be able to escape military punishment after the war.
Seeing the company commander shoot two deserters, some soldiers who had originally planned to escape with him immediately gave up the idea of escaping and began to follow the company commander tremblingly.
They quickly formed a simple line of defense in front of Tank No. 003, which was actually two light machine guns set up in the crater after the Japanese detonated the cluster bomb.
At the same time, many soldiers took out grenades and threw them at the Japanese trenches not far away.
However, the soldiers lying in the crater were not feeling well, as the entire bottom of the crater was filled with human body fragments and blood.
In particular, the machine gunner did not see it when he was setting up the machine gun, but there was a piece of intestine of someone unknown hanging right next to the crater.
The machine gunner almost vomited several times, but when he looked at the company commander's bloodshot eyes, he held the vomit back.
The Japanese soldiers on this section of the defense line had lost their command at this time. Just now, their squadron leader took the lead in rushing out of the trench and running towards the tank in front.
He was just hit by a volley of bullets, which directly detonated the cluster grenade on his body and blew him into a pile of minced meat.
"Baga!" Several Chinese soldiers who were rushed to the front of the position were suppressed in the trench with light machine guns and submachine guns, and they could not even raise their heads.
Ohga Tokuyuki turned around in the trench with difficulty, took out a Type 97 grenade from his arms, pulled the safety, and then hit his helmet hard with it.
Then throw it out of the trench! Pan Jia had just finished firing a drum and was hiding in a shell crater to replace the drum.
Out of the corner of my eye, I just happened to see a melon grenade flying out of the Japanese trench.
The grenade seemed to have eyes, it flew over the trench and landed in front of him. Without time to think, Pan Jia picked up the grenade and threw it directly back into the Japanese trench.
The grenade only flew to the top of the trench and exploded in mid-air before it could fall down. At this moment, Ohga Tokuyuki was lying on his back waiting for the grenade he had thrown to kill the Chinese.
Above his head, a familiar grenade appeared in his horrified eyes, and with a "boom", it turned into dozens or hundreds of fragments.
The explosion directly turned Ohga and two other Japanese soldiers below into a hornet's nest.
As the infantry moved forward and used grenades and submachine guns to eliminate the remaining Japanese troops in the trenches, they experienced for the first time the simplicity and convenience of having tanks participate in the attack on enemy positions.
In the past, when attacking the Japanese defensive positions, it was estimated that it would be impossible to get close to the positions guarded by two Japanese squadrons without suffering thousands of casualties.
Now they had the support of tanks, as well as submachine guns and light machine guns equipped to their men, as well as artillery that was still roaring and bombarding the Japanese.
All these combined made the soldiers, who were originally very uneasy, suddenly feel that the Japanese were not that strong and were just that weak under superior firepower.
After breaking through the Japanese blocking positions, we never encountered any organized resistance from the Japanese again.
"Continue the attack!" Zhang Jia leaned out of tank No. 001 and glanced at the tank captain of crew No. 003 who was kicking the broken track not far away.
With a look of desperation on his face, he gave the order to continue the pursuit into the car communicator in his hand.
At this moment, Zhang Biao had already led two regiments of the First Brigade and circled around the rear of the 31st Regiment of the Japanese Army.
Due to time constraints, they did not carry heavy equipment such as the 92 infantry gun, but they carried a lot of mortars and rocket launchers.
Almost the entire brigade's mortars and rocket launchers were given to their two regiments, a total of more than 80 mortars and 35 bazookas.
There was no time to dig trenches, so they could only temporarily occupy a small hill and a forest on both sides of the road and build defensive positions inside.
The engineers didn't even have time to plant the mines before the retreating soldiers of the 31st Regiment of the Japanese had already arrived at the front of the position.
"Fire!" With Zhang Biao's order, more than 80 mortars fired one mortar shell after another with "boom bang bang".
The Japanese army, which was fleeing in a panic, had no idea that the Chinese army would appear behind them, and that their first attack would cause such a big noise.
One artillery shell after another exploded in the retreating Japanese troops. The Japanese soldiers heard the whistling sound of the shells breaking through the air.
Some people instinctively chose to lie down at the first moment, but many Japanese soldiers who were fleeing in panic were unable to react in time.
The GrW34 mortar is the most classic mortar of the German army in World War II. It has a maximum range of 2400 meters, a maximum firing rate of 25 rounds per minute, a standard size of 81.4MM, and an ammunition weight of 3.5 kilograms.
The 81mm shells exploded in the crowd of Japanese devils, raising dust from the ground and the flames and smoke from the explosion, forming black and red balls.
82 mortars simultaneously fired at the highest rate of fire at the unsuspecting and hastily retreating Japanese.
The fragments of countless exploding shells formed a layer of bullet rain in the entire area, constantly splashing around.
In an instant, the wailing of the Japanese soldiers in the shelling circle rose one after another, even drowning out the sound of the mortar shells exploding.
The retreating torrent seemed to be blocked by a dam made of steel and flames.
The Japanese colonel Matsui was riding a war horse and running in the front. The officer uniform he was wearing had already attracted the attention of many mortar gunners.
One by one, they designated him as the target of the first round of shelling, which resulted in more than a dozen 81mm shells hitting his surroundings in an instant.
Although the gunners' artillery skills are not very high and their accuracy is naturally poor, you can't resist more than a dozen gunners targeting you.
Matsui's body was constantly thrown up, dropped, and thrown up again in the continuous explosions.
After several consecutive explosions, the entire corpse turned into pieces of falling flesh, and afterwards not even a relatively complete piece of the corpse could be found.
