Rise from the sword

Chapter 482 Tank Company, Attack!

"500 meters ahead, devils were found, the number is unknown..."

In the tank radio station, the alarm sounded.

"Turn on the lights."

Taking a deep breath, Sun Desheng, who was also in the tank, gave the order.

At this moment, the former commander of the cavalry battalion, the current commander of the armored battalion of the independent regiment, and the director of Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory looked solemn.

The armor manual accompanying the No. [-] tank said it clearly.

Tanks are not suitable for night combat.

The vision of tanks is inherently limited, and the situation at night is even more serious. There are many blind spots in the vision, and it is also very difficult to cooperate with infantry and tanks at night. The effect of flares is not so ideal.

But only the attacker has the right to decide when and where the battle will start.

He has no choice.

Besides, the entire independent regiment was the most suitable for dealing with this group of devils who came in at night, and the armored battalion was the first to bear the brunt.

With the thick armor, powerful firepower, and high-speed mobility of the No. [-] tanks, they can quickly rush to the battlefield, quickly defeat or even severely injure this group of devils, and they will not suffer too many casualties.

For other troops, facing this group of elite devils at night, no one will be able to please them, and they are prone to heavy losses.

Of course, the tanks were severely restricted at night, and it was difficult for infantry and tanks to cooperate, not to mention that they were just a group of novices who lacked actual combat. Even if this group of devils did not have anti-tank weapons, the devils' flesh-bombing charges would inevitably cause considerable losses to the armored battalion.

But well.

With thick armor protection and an inner lining, the devil's meat bomb attack may damage the tank's tracks, outer armor, and even the rear engine, and the most serious cause the tank to be scrapped.

But the crew in the tank will be injured at most, and there will definitely not be many sacrifices.

and then!
Next month, Boss Chen will be reimbursed twice!
And the devils, even at night, need at least 20 people to blow up a tank.

No loss no loss.

Following Sun Desheng's order, three half-track armored vehicles in the team of half-track armored vehicles at the rear of the convoy slowly stopped, but the engines were still humming crazily.

At the same time, on the vehicle body, under the control of several soldiers, a searchlight with a diameter of two meters and an armored partition was slowly lifted up, click, three thick beams of light appeared, and the fan-shaped area one kilometer in front of the convoy was fully revealed .

Those ghosts hiding in front were also clearly illuminated.

In order to deal with the encounter at night, Sun Desheng was well prepared and specially arranged searchlights.

"Tank company, attack."

Sun Desheng roared again.

Da da da·····

boom····

In an instant, the tank's tracks started, and at the same time, the 75mm main gun on the turret, the coaxial machine gun, and the double-mounted 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun with shield on the half-track armored vehicle began to roar.

Dense shells and bullets hit both sides of the devil's hidden road...

and.

The firepower is still charging along with the advance of tanks and armored vehicles.

·······
"idiot."

Stimulated by the three huge beams of light, tears flowed down his face, the captain of the Devils, the leader of the first combat team of the Yamamoto Special Forces, couldn't help cursing, and of course his complexion changed drastically.

The flares are pretty poor, but the searchlights definitely make the field of vision indistinguishable from daytime.

After cursing, before he had time to respond, he heard the dense rain of bullets hitting him, forcing him to lower his head to avoid it.

At the same time, beside him, there were endless screams.

Although the devils took cover before the war, there was a lack of solid bunkers near the road. The simple slopes were indeed effective against Mauser pointed bullets, but it was difficult to prevent 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets.

As for the 75 shells, they are even more like paper paste.

Sun Desheng's group has ten tanks and twenty half-track armored vehicles.

Three of them were responsible for the search at the rear, and there were only 75 armored vehicles that fired, but there were also ten 34 artillery pieces, twenty coaxial machine guns, and 12.7 [-]mm heavy machine guns.

And there is an 82 mortar on the body of three of the half-track armored vehicles.

On the remaining half-tracks, there were general-purpose machine guns carried by the infantry, and Mauser rifles were also firing.

With such ferocious firepower, coupled with the illumination of three high-power searchlights, the two sides met each other for the first time, and the tank company reimbursed more than half of the Japanese team's strength, while they were not injured at all.

The devil wants to fight back, even if he can't hit or penetrate, it's good to be brave.

But there is really no way.

In a hurry, they didn't have time to build solid and reasonable fortifications. Facing the enemy's fierce artillery suppression, it was difficult to find an opportunity to counterattack. Moreover, they couldn't see anything at all when facing the dazzling high-power searchlights.

"It can't go on like this."

The captain of the devil team is also experienced in many battles, and being recognized by Yamamoto as the leader of the first combat team also shows that his command ability is outstanding. He quickly realized that he had to change his tactics.

Originally, he planned to wait for the tanks to approach, and then let the heroic warriors of the empire rush up to destroy the enemy's tanks with explosive packs. In the night environment, blowing up tanks couldn't be easier.

But what he didn't expect was that Tuba Road had already prepared for it, and actually prepared a searchlight, and this power was greater than that of the anti-aircraft searchlight.

With the searchlights to provide lighting, if he continued, his elite brigade had already suffered heavy losses before the enemy approached. Even if the Tuba Road tank troops in front of him were wiped out later, they would not be able to continue the attack.

It is also impossible to transfer positions.

Under the searchlight, the hidden position of his troops was like daylight, and the enemy's firepower was crazy and powerful, and they would die if they stepped out of the cover.

Therefore, the enemy's searchlight must be eliminated first.

Glancing hard ahead, he quickly judged the position of the enemy's searchlight, which was more than one kilometer away from him. At such a distance, firearms were useless, neither the Type [-] rifle nor the Type [-] heavy machine gun, and only the Type [-] infantry gun. Or within reach of a mortar.

Moreover, these two weapons can only be reluctant.

The Type [-] infantry gun has poor maneuverability, as does the mortar, and it is extremely risky in the face of a quick-response tank gun.

It would be great if there was an enemy recoilless gun or a large-caliber heavy machine gun... At this moment, a thought came to the old devil's mind. These two direct-firing weapons are very suitable for dealing with the current situation.

Unfortunately, the Empire does not.

"Artillery destroys the enemy's searchlights."

He gave the order quickly.

Behind the position, on the back of the hillside, the devils quickly began to assemble the Type [-] infantry guns and mortars.A few minutes later, several Type [-] artillery shells and mortar shells crossed a large arc and fell near the rear searchlight.

The Type [-] can also be fired at a high elevation angle and used as a mortar.

boom boom boom

The explosion wave rose near three half-track armored vehicles equipped with searchlights.

I have to marvel at the quality of these elite devils. The first round of shelling accurately hit the area near the searchlight. Of course, there is also a reason for the short distance.

"Drive, move your position."

Facing the shelling of the devils, the searchlights had to shift positions to avoid it, which also caused the lights that had been illuminating the devils' positions to shake, and a large blind spot appeared.

Without the stable lighting, the speed of devil casualties dropped suddenly.

At this time, the tank company was only more than 200 meters away from the devil's position.

"Continue to suppress enemy searchlights."

"The demolition warrior is ready."

The captain of the devil group continued to give orders, he found a squadron leader and said:

"You lead people, and attack the enemy's searchlights from behind."

Behind the hillside in the rear, Type [-] infantry guns and medium-caliber mortars fired non-stop. Behind bunkers such as earth bags and ditches, devils wearing white cloth strips just hugged the explosive bags in their arms, with crazy eyes.

The Devil's machine gunners finally got their breath and found a suitable position to set up their machine guns.

Another twenty or so devils escaped from behind, drawing an arc to attack the searchlight position one kilometer away.

In the tank, facing the devil's response, Sun Desheng also issued a new order:
"Mortar suppresses enemy artillery, infantry dismounts."

A direct-firing tank gun cannot threaten the Jazi artillery behind the hillside, but a mortar on a half-track armored vehicle can.

Three 82 mortars changed direction and aimed at the devil's artillery position.

Simultaneously.

In the car body behind the half-track armored vehicle, some soldiers jumped out of the vehicle with submachine guns and followed behind the tank, and some soldiers prepared to provide fire cover with the help of the shooting holes on the two wings.

Due to the lack of shooting range and lack of experience, the mortar crew had never played artillery battles. The mortars of the tank company were unable to suppress the devil's artillery fire for a while, which caused the searchlights to be suppressed and the irradiation has been unstable.

Even one of them was hit by devils, there were casualties, and the searchlights became two.

When the tank is less than 50 meters away from the devil's position.

"smoke bomb."

The captain of the devils team was in a rage. On the devils' position, the devils with grenade launchers fired smoke bombs one after another.

bang bang bang...

In an instant, smoke enveloped the front of the position, obscuring the tank's vision.

"Suppress infantry around enemy tanks."

Immediately afterwards, he issued a second order.

Da da da·····

On the devil's temporary position, machine guns opened fire, and the soldiers of the independent regiment who followed the tank had to hide behind the tank.

The half-track armored vehicle in the rear also aimed its heavy machine gun at the Devil's machine gunner.

For a while, not only the soldiers behind the tank were suppressed, but also the devil's machine gunner suffered heavy losses.

But at the same time, wave after wave of devils rushed out. These devils wore plaster flags on their heads, held explosives in their hands, and rushed towards the tank screaming. Most of them were killed on the way. , but a small part approached or even reached the vicinity of the tank.

boom boom boom

Violent explosions followed one after another, and the attacking devils suffered heavy casualties, but the tanks of the tank company also suffered losses. In the first wave of the devils' meat bomb charge, one car had its tracks and side armor destroyed, and one had its engine blown up, causing it to burst into flames.

Although they have undergone hard training and even simulated actual combat many times, the tank-tank coordination for the first time in a company is still full of loopholes.

There is a world of difference between simulated actual combat and real actual combat.

Fortunately, the crew escaped and only a few people were injured.

"Keep attacking."

Seeing that the first wave had blown up two enemy tanks, the leader of the devil brigade was greatly encouraged and organized an attack again.

The battle between the two sides continued until dawn. In the end, all ten tanks in a row were lying on the ground, and the tracked armored vehicles also suffered a lot of losses, especially the half-tracked vehicles equipped with searchlights, which were all blown up by the devils who suddenly came out from the flanks.

But out of the 600 elites of the devils, less than 80 escaped in the end, of course, including the captain of the devils, the leader of the first team of the Yamamoto secret service.

"Damn..."

Climbing out of the damaged tank, Sun Desheng cursed at the surrounding soldiers:
"Bu Tanxie, have you eaten all the usual training?"

No wonder he was so angry.

Although the devils charge fiercely, the tanks have an absolute advantage in firepower here. Even without searchlights, the tanks themselves carry flares that can provide effective lighting.

As a result, all ten tanks were blown up by the devils.

To sum up the reason, there was a serious problem with the coordination between infantry and tanks, which led to a large number of loopholes in the defense, and was approached by the Devils.

Of course, part of the reason is that this gang of devils is really crazy. The devils who rushed up with the explosive pack never thought of going back, and some even rushed directly under the track.

"..."

After scolding for half an hour, Sun Desheng finally took a breath:

"How about casualties and losses?"

"A total of 79 casualties were sacrificed, 17 were sacrificed, and eleven were seriously injured."

Immediately someone reported:

"Ten tanks were damaged, twelve half-track armored vehicles were lost, and all searchlights were damaged."

"good."

Sun Desheng nodded in satisfaction.

After this actual combat, he saw many problems that he hadn't found before, and also discovered the deficiencies in the previous training.And after this actual battle, the tank company will definitely be reborn.

······
Zhao Jiayu.

In the Independent Regiment Department.

"hiss·····"

"Captain, you are simply..."

Looking at the battle map drawn by his team leader, even Zhang Dabiao, who had followed Li Yunlong for six years and almost had a tacit understanding, couldn't help but gasp.

No wonder he was horrified, it was really his team leader's action, which was beyond the expectations of normal people.

Flat-fire anti-aircraft machine guns, flat-fire small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, against infantry, this move is very normal, Zhang Dabiao has also used it many times, very cool, very exciting, super powerful.Sometimes, he couldn't help wondering whether this was the correct use of anti-aircraft weapons.

lay flat.

But the head of his own team is not just as simple as letting go.

"Hey hey..."

"The battalion interspersed by the devils is aggressive and fast-moving, and we cannot judge their exact marching route."

Li Yunlong smiled and began to say:
"With 350 large-caliber heavy machine guns and Gecun's fifty 20mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns, it is difficult to make effective defensive arrangements in a short period of time, and there is no way to mobilize enough troops to surround Gecun in a short period of time. "

"but."

"Hey hey..."

"Who said that a heavy machine gun must be aimed and fired directly?"

"Anyway, labor and capital now have enough machine guns, and the bullets can't be used up at all..."
