The Japanese's troubles, including machine gun fire and mortar bombardment, angered the Yanhuang Legion's Hurricane tanks.
If the tiger didn't show off its power, you would have been a sick cat. What's more, the Hurricane tank is not a tiger, but a state-of-the-art tank fully armed to the teeth. Its combat effectiveness far exceeds the armored weapons of this period.
The armor added with special metals can easily withstand the attacks of anti-tank guns and rockets. Even ordinary infantry guns and mountain cannons can't do anything to it. Such strong defensive capabilities make it a veritable mobile bunker.
Compared with its defensive capabilities, the Hurricane Tank's offense is equally excellent. It is equipped with a tank cannon, an anti-aircraft machine gun, a ground-to-surface missile, and two rapid-fire tank cannons. If not for lack of time, Mo Yanran would have even
I want to install a flamethrower on it and have a battlefield barbecue.
It can be said that the Hurricane tank is a murderous weapon on the battlefield, and it is a powerful weapon.
As it continued to move forward, the tank's gun was raised and pointed at the city gate, seemingly preparing to launch an attack.
The Japanese commander saw the clues and shouted, "Quickly, close the city gate."
The city gate was slammed shut by many Japanese soldiers, and then the Japanese soldiers piled many sandbags behind the door.
Because they knew that the opponent was powerful, the Japanese soldiers all tried their best, throwing sandbags at the gate like raindrops, and quickly blocked the gate.
At this moment, the Hurricane tank fired, and a shell flew out of the barrel and hit the lower part of the city gate.
There was a loud bang, and a large hole more than two meters high was opened in the city gate by the cannonball. You can see the city gate hole from here.
A large piece of the wooden door was blown to pieces. The Japanese soldiers who were busy behind the door were unlucky. Many of them were thrown out and fell heavily to the ground. They groaned for a while.
Standing up from the ground, the Japs squad leader shook his head and then looked at his position.
Originally, the Japanese had set up three fortifications in the city gate in preparation for the defense, but the shot just now was too powerful, and the front fortification was torn open with a width of two people, which meant that most of it was destroyed.
Moreover, the fragments of the wooden door that were blown out also flew out in all directions, and there were knife-like fragments everywhere, which made the Japanese devils suffer. They retreated around one after another, but they still couldn't avoid the rapid-fire wood fragments, and their bodies and faces were suddenly stabbed.
It was full of debris, and they howled in pain.
The hurricane tank's shells are much more powerful than ordinary artillery shells. Although the wooden door can withstand the power of the Japanese shells, in front of the hurricane tank's shells, it is almost like paper.
This shot shocked all the Japanese at the city gate. They didn't expect that the tank not only looked majestic, but was also surprisingly powerful. It opened the city gate with one shot.
"Captain, what should I do?" All the sergeants looked at the captain, as if they had not eaten for three days and had no energy at all.
The Japanese team leader looked at the tanks approaching at high speed outside the city gate again, hesitated for a moment, and then shouted, "Repair the fortifications and defend on the spot. We must hold on until reinforcements arrive."
His duty is to guard the city gate, so he cannot leave here, even if he dies, he will die here.
Several sergeants listened to what their team leader said, and no one said anything more. Instead, they went down and ordered their Japanese soldiers to start building fortifications, sorting out equipment, and getting ready to defend.
Although they knew they could not stop the tanks, these Japanese soldiers still meticulously arranged roadblocks, hoping to slow down the opponent's attack slightly and buy more time.
While the Japanese were busy, twelve tanks had already approached the city gate. They were still about 200 meters away. They suddenly stopped and lined up outside the city gate.
Looking at the busy Japanese soldiers, and then at the door panel with a big hole made by the shells, the driver in the tank chuckled, and then pressed a button on the console, "Little Japanese, let me give you a taste of the shocking."
The taste of a big collision."
There was a clicking sound, and two alloy steel plates stretched out from both sides of the tank. The angular alloy plates gradually closed toward the middle, and finally formed a very sharp cone shape.
This tapered shape covers the entire front of the vehicle, and the sharp edge extends forward, exceeding the length of the tank gun.
At this time, the tank car no longer looked like a tank, but seemed to have turned into a ram (a tool used in ancient city sieges.), a huge ram.
After the tank's shape changed, the driver pressed the joystick with his arm and pressed down on the accelerator. The tank roared and rushed towards the door, and its speed unexpectedly increased by another level.
Like a huge artillery shell, the tank rushed head-first into the city gate, so fast that no one had time to react.
The distance of one to two hundred meters was nothing to the tank. It rushed forward in the blink of an eye and then slammed into the city gate.
With a bang, the whole tower trembled slightly, and large pieces of bricks on the tower fell one after another, as if there was a rain of bricks.
It was as if a hurricane was blowing inside the city gate. The two gates, which had long been in dilapidated condition, were suddenly torn apart. The huge cone-shaped front of the car with cold light appeared in front of the devils. The thick saw teeth on it,
Make their scalp feel a little numb.
After the tank smashed through the city gate, it continued to drive forward. The sandbags blocking the road had no blocking effect at all under the conical opening. They were pushed to both sides along the way, and they forced their way out of the way.
.
"Shoot, shoot quickly!" the Japs commander shouted with all his strength, while organizing all the Japs behind several lines of defense to fire together in an attempt to block the tank's advance.
Bullets kept hitting the armor, but they only left crisp sounds and did no harm to it at all.
The turret moved, and then there was a shooter behind the anti-aircraft and flat-shooting machine gun. He was located in a cover made of armor. In front of him was a display screen, which showed the scenery around the tank.
It turns out that the Hurricane tank is equipped with holographic 360-degree camera equipment, and the machine gun shooter can control the machine gun to clean up the surrounding enemies without leaving the hood.
These technologies are not difficult for Mo Yanran, who is more than a hundred years behind this era. If she is given enough materials and equipment, she can even create interstellar weapons.
The tank's turret began to rotate, and the 18.5cm large-caliber machine gun on it spurted out tongues of flame. Machine gun bullets much larger than ordinary bullets were shot out from inside, sweeping across the Japanese bunkers.
Those Japanese soldiers were unlucky. The thick machine gun bullets were like saws. As long as they were hit by bullets, their bodies would basically be torn apart. Some even had most of their bodies cut off by a few bullets.
At this moment, those Japanese soldiers could no longer resist. After the team leader died, the remaining dozen or so Japanese soldiers turned around and ran away towards the street.
Taking advantage of the victory, the tanks pursued the enemy, and with the cooperation of the soldiers of the Fengyan Team, they pushed forward, chasing the Japanese behind them.
At this time, the infantry of the Yanhuang Army also entered the city. They all wore AK47 rifles, wore green military coats, and wore steel helmets on their heads. They shouted and ran straight to the streets in the city. If it weren't for the different skin colors and languages,
I'm afraid many people will think that the army of the Tsarist Russian Republic has invaded.
Although the Japanese were repelled from the city gate, they still had a garrison stationed in the city, which consisted of two infantry brigades (the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th brigades were stationed in Fengtian City respectively).
Waibei Camp, Tieling, Liaoyang and other places), in addition to an infantryman from the 16th Regiment of the Second Division
The brigade is also stationed in the city. If you include Inukai Ken's Japanese military police, the total number is about 4,500. They are well-equipped with weapons and equipment and are quite strong in battle. The Yanhuang Army is responsible for attacking Fengtian City this time. It is the 1st Infantry Division.
The first brigade has about 5,000 troops, and there is not much difference in the number of troops on both sides.
Although the Yanhuang Army has dispatched an infantry division and three independent brigades this time, as soon as the fighting starts here in Fengtian, the Japanese troops from the surrounding Liaoyang, Tieling, Fushun, Tongliao and other places will definitely rush to the rescue. By then, most of the troops will be deployed in
To stop the enemy halfway, only one brigade of troops can be mobilized to attack Fengtian City.
Tang Tianhao's Third Regiment of the Security Army needs to deal with the three regiments of the Security Army Commander Zang Xuecheng, and I am afraid that they will not be able to get out for a while. In addition, Ma Xueli is still wavering. He is probably waiting and watching.
If the Yanhuang Army had the upper hand, he wouldn't mind adding icing on the cake, but if the Japanese had the upper hand, he would be able to add insult to injury.
Therefore, Luo Xiao adopted lightning-fast tactics, ordering the first formation of the first armored regiment to ambush in the hills outside the city gate, and then ordered the beacon smoke team to raid the city wall, capture the Japanese on the wall, seize the commanding heights, and then
Use tanks to break open the city gates and open the way for infantry to enter the city.
As for entering the city, there are streets and alleys everywhere. The Yanhuang Army is probably going to start a street fight with the Japanese. At that time, these big iron guys will not be able to play their role. It depends on the infantry to solve the battle.
The Yanhuang Legion soldiers who rushed into Fengtian City like a tide were divided into combat groups according to their respective orders. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, they quickly went to various areas and began to clear out the Japanese soldiers there.
Near Huangjue Temple, two brigades of the Japanese independent garrison were stationed - Shimamoto Masaichi's 2nd Battalion and Itatsu Naoen's 4th Battalion. In addition, the independent garrison's team headquarters was located in Huangjue Temple.
Therefore, the 101st Regiment and the 102nd Regiment of the First Brigade
Rush there immediately to prepare to eliminate the two brigades; while the first and second battalions of the 103rd Regiment rush to Haihezi, where the Japanese 16th Regiment Songdao is stationed, to meet them; the remaining three battalions rush to the Japanese Military Police
, destroy this evil-ridden army.
Although the Yanhuang Legion did not have much advantage in terms of numbers, compared to the combat effectiveness of the two sides, the Japs were much inferior, especially in terms of weapons and equipment, which was even more incomparable.
Therefore, Luo Xiao is confident that he can win this battle with relatively few casualties.
