"Don't fire!" Tang Cheng watched helplessly as the Japanese tanks got closer and closer to the 30th Army's position. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart. Wasn't it said that there were landmines buried in front of the position? But why didn't he see the mine explode? He was looking at the 30th Army.
The dispatched gunner stuffed the shells into the barrel. Tang Cheng immediately shouted for them to stop firing, but Tang Cheng seemed to shout a little too late. He only heard two blasts, and the two shells stuffed into the barrel had already been fired.
They were beaten out one after the other.
Almost everyone, including the artillerymen of the 30th Army, stared eagerly at the Japanese tanks on the other side of the main position, waiting to see the tanks hit by artillery shells. Tang Cheng gave the gunners a hard look.
, and then climbed out of the crater and ran to Laodongbei's machine gun position. "Take your people and retreat back, and then help them drag away a cannon. I will take a few to stay here to hold it."
Ignoring whether Lao Dongbei understood what he said, Tang Cheng ran all the way and jumped into Niu Laogui's crater.
Sure enough, the two shells fired by the anti-tank artillery all missed. One hit the tank's turret and flew out, knocking over several Japanese soldiers. The other simply hit the open space. "Go, go quickly, drag it away."
One gun, leave one for me." Seeing the Japanese tanks turning around and heading towards the woods, Tang Cheng in the bomb crater screamed, this was not the time for procrastination, Tang Cheng warned
Niu Laogui, who passed by, hurriedly led a group of soldiers from the Second Company to retreat backwards, dragging a combat artillery piece.
"You fucking should just fire. If you can't hit the side, you should be able to hit the front." The gunners sent by the 30th Army were already in a hurry, but Tang Cheng's yelling calmed them down. "Hey"
There was another sound, and only a "boom" was heard. A Japanese tank outside the woods stopped with black smoke. "Kill them, we can't let them go back alive." Tang Cheng suddenly carried a
The rifles rushed out of the woods, and the two tank soldiers who crawled out of the truck became Tang Cheng's target.
The tank was still more than a hundred meters away from the grove. It was difficult for Tang Cheng's marksmanship to hit the two Japanese tank soldiers at such a distance, so he had to rush forward to shorten the distance between himself and the two Japanese tank soldiers. As long as he
When the distance was shortened to less than a hundred meters, he was confident that he would use his rifle to overtake them. Tang Cheng, who was running, suddenly knelt down and fired a bullet from the rifle he had picked up in his hand, jumping down from the tank.
The Japanese tank soldier was shaken and still fell down after being shot.
Pulling the bolt to eject the cartridge case and loading another round, Tang Cheng once again raised his rifle and aimed at the limping Japanese tank soldier who was already running backwards. He only heard a "pop" gunshot, and the fleeing Japanese tank soldier's hands
He opened his face and rolled to the ground. Just as Tangcheng put away his gun and turned around, he heard a "boom" in his ears. Not only was his ears buzzing, but the earth and gravel were splashed by the explosion.
It also hit Tang Cheng's body with the anger.
Almost knocked over by the blast of gas, Tang Cheng tried his best to stabilize his body and ran towards the woods in large strides. He killed a Japanese tank and other Japanese tanks involved in the attack also turned their direction and headed towards the woods.
In the woods, as the Japanese tanks fired one after another, the grove where Tang Cheng and the others were hiding had already been filled with smoke and fireballs. "No, no, no, take the shells and let's go." Tang Cheng ran back to the woods.
Seeing that those 30 army gunners still wanted to take the anti-tank guns and evacuate, I went over and gave them a kick, but told them to take the artillery shells and evacuate backwards.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", the rushing Japanese tanks successively triggered the booby traps arranged by the Second Company outside the woods. Although these booby traps were added with explosives, they were still good against infantry. If you want to deal with these iron mines,
Guys, that's not powerful enough. When the smoke cleared, the Japanese tanks that triggered the booby traps were fine. Except for a bean tank lying on the road, several other Japanese tanks did not stop charging into the woods.
However, the covering infantry following the tanks suffered heavy casualties.
The ear-splitting explosion sounded almost without warning. The last shell in the barrel of the anti-war artillery hit the rear body of a Type 97 medium tank that was turning at the fork in the road. The timing and location
It was just right. Seeing that the Japanese tank hit by the anti-war artillery was shrouded in thick smoke, Tangcheng didn't even have time to cheer up his own artillery, and the Japanese retaliatory artillery fire had already hit the small woods.
"Let's go, retreat first. We still have one cannon. When they catch up, we will find a chance to deal with them." Dragging the gunner who was reluctant to fight the anti-cannon, he quickly ran out of the woods, leaving only a few of the second company.
The men and artillerymen carried the shells and followed closely behind Tangcheng. Two tanks were lost one after another. The Japanese officer commanding the armored force was already furious and ordered the tanks to bombard the grove where the shells were fired for a long time.
The Japanese tanks outside the grove rushed towards the mound along the channel created by the infantry clearing mines.
Following the marks left by Niu Laogui and the others when they evacuated, they retreated to a piece of woodland, but Tangcheng was not in a good mood. This was a war with no victory in sight. The battle might just be to satisfy the most basic need of survival.
Demand, maybe he shouldn't have agreed to the 30th Army's order to contain the Japanese armored forces. The whizzing shells suddenly interrupted Tang Cheng's thoughts. Because he was unprepared, he was taken aback. Looking back hastily, only
He saw smoke and dust billowing in the woods where he had just been hiding. Needless to say, the smoke was caused by those Japanese tanks that he both feared and hated!
The artillery shells were a reminder, and the incoming artillery fire threatened the lives of Tang Cheng and the others at all times. Tang Cheng and the others in the wilderness were hurriedly spreading out and speeding up. However, the Japanese army never seemed to need to worry about ammunition.
Their tanks were firing fiercely from a distance, not caring about the waste caused by most of the shells missing their targets.
Although the soldiers running in the field were not in danger of their lives for the time being, they did not feel the slightest bit lucky in their hearts. Under the leadership of Tang Cheng, everyone began to speed up and run wildly. This was a race against death, and
The Japanese artillery fire did not stop there. The shells dropped with a strange scream one after another. The huge explosion set off waves of violent gas. Even if they were lucky enough not to be hit by shrapnel, Tangcheng and the others were staggered by the blast of gas.
After finally breaking into the woods where Niu Laogui and the others were hiding, Tang Cheng and others collapsed directly in the bushes and gasped for air. Even though the gunners of the 30th Army had run out of breath, they could still
Reluctantly, he threw away the shell box on his shoulder. Tang Cheng, who had regained some strength, stood up and carefully observed the woodland. If the Japanese tanks were to pursue him, it would cost extra to forcibly open a road in the woods.
They need a lot of energy and time, so the road through the woods will be their only choice.
He pulled Niu Laogui and Lao Dongbei over and whispered for a while. The latter hurriedly took a few soldiers of the second company to work, but Tang Cheng ran to the edge of the woods with a telescope and observed with the telescope hundreds of meters away.
Those Japanese tanks. There was only a field a few hundred meters away between the two sides. If nothing else happened, those Japanese tanks would have been able to kill them in less than half a cigarette. The eight Japanese tanks were blocked by anti-aircraft guns.
One tank was destroyed, and a booby trap planted outside the woods forced another bean tank to stop, leaving only five Japanese tanks left.
Under the leadership of the veterans, most of the soldiers of the Second Company had found blocking positions and had no time to dig bunkers. They directly relied on tree roots, tree stumps and uneven ground. The temporary defense line was roughly located five hundred meters from the edge of the woods.
, it can not only effectively avoid the invasion of Japanese artillery fire, but also try to block the Japanese infantry guarding the tanks outside the woods. The combat anti-cannon dragged back by Laodongbei and the others was deployed behind the big tree near the road.
.
Seeing that the Japanese tanks were getting closer and closer, Tang Cheng said a few words to the soldiers responsible for detonating the explosives, then bent down and ran behind a big tree not far away and squatted down. After a while, the rumbling sound of the Japanese tanks became clear.
When I got up, I could vaguely see the Japanese tanks slowly driving into the woods through the gaps in the trees, and soon the figures of Japanese infantry in khaki military uniforms appeared in the woods. At this time, the depths of the woods were so quiet that there was no one at all.
Animals existed. Apart from the roar of machinery and the friction of tracks coming from outside the woods, the only things that could be heard seemed to be the whistling wind and the crunching sounds of the Japanese infantry stepping on the snowy ground.
Hiding behind a bush, Tang Cheng held the Mauser rifle in his hand tightly. After the previous battle, he had great confidence in his shooting skills, but after all, the battlefield is not a shooting range. You can win by just hitting the target.
Victory and protecting yourself are sometimes more important than killing the enemy. This nest of bushes blocks the line of sight and is an ideal obstacle, but it cannot stop the penetration of bullets. Moreover, the terrain is slightly flat, which does not give people a sense of security at all. Through the bushes
The person who observed the gap in the root was something belonging to the Japanese tank. Tangcheng's breathing became heavier. It was his suggestion to wait until the Japanese tank approached before blowing up the big tree. If the detonation was not done at the right time and resulted in bad consequences, although he was not directly responsible, he
It is inevitable that you will carry a psychological burden.
The roar of the Japanese tank engines was getting closer and closer. The Japanese tanks that were crushing the bushes outside the forest slowed down. The trees they crushed became thicker and thicker. The Bean Chariot that started to take the lead has fallen behind.
, using tanks for assault in such terrain, I really don’t know what happened to the Japanese commander who commanded these tanks. Without receiving the order from Tang Cheng, the soldiers responsible for detonating the explosion could only hide and stand by, while Tang Cheng was still thinking.
Li quickly calculated, the timing of detonation was the most important, it didn't matter if it was too fast or too slow.
