Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 971 A battle between wisdom and toughness!

"Hold on, hold on to me! I believe in you, and I will do it!" During the fortification, Cheng Tieshou did not get angry because he missed a shot in the anti-aircraft artillery squad. Instead, he patted his face annoyed. The sergeant squad leader gave encouragement loudly.

"Come again!" The sergeant squad leader threw the helmet on his head to the ground, and went to the observation port in person regardless of the danger, and quickly reported the data in his mouth.

The two veteran gunners fine-tuned the muzzle based on the data reported by the squad leader.

At this time, the Japanese 89 tanks in the crazy reverse also adjusted their muzzles and fired.

Although the fortification where Cheng Tieshou was located was well camouflaged, a large amount of gunpowder smoke from the firing of the 37mm gun spewed out from the firing port, but the distance of more than 200 meters was clear to the extremely nervous Japanese 89 tanks.

The quality of the Japanese armored soldiers should not be underestimated either. The first shot hit the side of the fortification, causing the mud to splash. Next, with the desperate roar of the tank engine, the 57mm gun continued to fire without stopping, the second shot, and the third shot .
If the 57mm small-caliber artillery is placed on the Western battlefield, it will be a unilaterally abused little scum, but here, it can be called ferocious.

Three cannonballs, one of which hit the lower edge of the fortification directly, and the distance from the firing port was no more than two meters away.

The huge vibration and sound caused by the shell explosion made the officers and soldiers in the fortification dizzy, and even the strong Cheng Tieshou thought that he was going to die for a moment.

Fortunately, the steel plate made by the engineer company was hard enough, and the sandbags and soil on the outer layer of the fortification were blown away, but the steel plate was not penetrated.

Because China doesn't have any tanks at all, and even if there are fortifications, they are temporary field fortifications with civil structures. The armored soldiers of the Japanese army almost forget when they last carried armor-piercing bullets.

At this time, in the Type 89 tank, there are only flowering ammunition mainly for killing infantry.

Everyone is made of iron. One side uses armor-piercing bullets, and the other side uses flowering bullets. The results of the mutual shooting are obvious.

"Let go!" The artillery squad leader, whose eyes were reddened by the strong gunpowder smoke, finally roared angrily.

The rate of fire of the rapid-fire gun is actually faster than that of the 89mm short-barreled gun of the Japanese Type 57 tank, but in a full 30 seconds, the 37mm anti-aircraft gun did not fire a single shot, and the Type 89 tank fired three shots in a row. It is because he has almost no chance of making mistakes. The Type 89 tank is not stupid, it has not given up its greatest advantage, and has been twisting its body and moving up and down crazily.

It's just that, with the two big killers attacking on the high ground, your infantry hiding in the infantry trench also cooperated. At least seven or eight light machine guns started firing, suppressing the Japanese infantry who were advancing with the tank and laying down on the ground. On the cold muddy ground.

The Japanese tanks also had scruples and did not dare to move too much laterally, because they could be forgiven if they made a mistake and crushed one or two colleagues, but if a guy crushed a large number of infantry into meatloaf, he would be sent to the hospital even if he returned alive. court martial.

Therefore, there is actually not much room for tactical maneuvering left for Japanese tanks to play at will.

The artillery squad leader was waiting for the moment when the Japanese tanks stopped and fired.

"Boom!" The gun accurately hit the Type 89 tank, and the tank flashed almost bright sparks at that moment.

"Forward, forward!" The second lieutenant of the Japanese armored soldier froze for a second or two, shouting loudly with all his strength.

At the moment when the huge shock came, he thought he was dead, but he didn't expect to be miraculously still alive.

Although the shell hit the tank, it was a coincidence that it hit the arc angle of the Type 89 tank. Although the armor-piercing shell flying at high speed made a terrifying gap in the armor, it was caught by the arc because of the angle. The horn flew off and did not penetrate the 89mm armor on the front of the Type 35 tank.

The second lieutenant of the armored force knew that the tank had been targeted by China's long-standing anti-tank guns. Now it is almost impossible to turn around and run away, but if it is left or right, it will expose the more vulnerable tank sideways to the Chinese. under the muzzle.

Now there is only one way out, the tank moves forward at high speed, uses the thick frontal armor of the tank, rushes to the ridge 20 meters away, and uses the mountain and angle to minimize the shooting angle and shooting range of the Chinese anti-tank, and then, It is also hoped that the brigade and regiment leaders in the rear will respond in a timely manner and use artillery groups to cover the Chinese artillery fortifications hidden above the high ground. They may still have a chance to evacuate the battlefield.

The reaction of the second lieutenant of the Japanese armored soldiers was quick enough, and his mind was strong enough. Not everyone has the courage to face the shells on this kind of battlefield where life or death is inevitable.

If there was only one anti-tank gun on Height No. 2, he might have succeeded.

But it is a pity that there are two guns on the No. 2 high ground, and the squad leader of the other 37mm anti-aircraft gun is also an old gunner. He didn't just blindly fire based on the firing speed of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun, and he has been waiting for a fighter. , Even, he waited until the No. 1 gun position was fired before firing.

"Boom!" A group of dazzling sparks exploded from the lower part of the 89 tank, and the track that was frantically rolling the mud suddenly fell.

The No. 2 gun position directly blew up the track. From this moment on, the 89 tank not only lost its power, but became a dead target.

Not only is it impossible to move, but it is certain to die.

"Good job, Lao Jiang!" Cheng Tieshou looked at the 89 tanks whose tracks had come off from the binoculars and laughed.

"Fire! Fire!" The second lieutenant of the Japanese armored soldier's face was pale, and he ordered frantically.

This is the only thing he can do now.

Abandoning the car and fleeing seems to be a way of life, but in fact it is also a way of death. The Chinese do not know how many light and heavy machine guns are equipped, and they have been bombarded for so long, and they can still maintain such a strong firepower density.

The 'bang bang! 'The sound never stopped.

"Fire! Fire!" The artillery squad leader on the two artillery positions also repeated the same words.

The Chinese and Japanese soldiers lying on the cold muddy ground in early spring witnessed such a scene with their own eyes in such a hail of bullets.

The limped 89 tanks stayed in place, and under the cover of machine guns of several 94 tanks, they frantically fired towards the upper fortifications.

The anti-tank guns in the Chinese artillery fortifications, without any fear, fought back one after another in the smoke and air waves.

Crazy and brave may not necessarily be equated, but at least at this moment, the armored soldiers of the 31st Infantry Brigade under Guteng Nagakake's command have enough hardness.

However, the opponent they encountered today is also the most elite infantry regiment in China, perhaps none of them.

Not only the equipment, there are definitely more than five Chinese infantry regiments with better equipment than the Four Elements Regiment. For example, the direct descendants of the direct descendants—the Tax Police Headquarters, the strongest of the Four Elements Regiments, were cultivated in one bloody battle after another. Iron will and determination to win.

This kind of will and belief is not only in the frontline infantry, but has already spread to the whole regiment, even the most inconspicuous supply soldiers.

Some time ago, when the Four Elements Regiment evaluated their military exploits, because a heavy soldier and an artilleryman were to be evaluated as "second-class military exploits", many front-line infantry company chiefs objected, thinking that their infantry was going to fight with their lives on the front line. Infantry who lost their lives can't be judged as "second-class military exploits", but those auxiliary soldiers who only work hard can still be judged.

"Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?" Tang Dao only said one sentence, and shut up the company commanders who raised objections.

The front-line infantry is fighting with their lives, but the auxiliary arms are by no means only relying on equipment to shine. At critical moments, they also have the courage to fight with their lives.

A well-fortified artillery emplacement is by no means a safe place without the slightest danger.

Battery No. 1 was the focus of the bombardment by the Japanese tanks. The sandbags on the outer layer were almost completely flattened, exposing the pitted steel plate.

This is not the most fatal thing. The real fatal thing is to expand the shooting angle and shooting range of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun. Many machine gun bullets fired by Type 1.3 tanks also flew in.

Fortunately, the 37mm anti-aircraft guns are equipped with steel plate shields, which can also protect the artillery behind them, but the stray bullets splashing around can also kill people.

Already three artillerymen were killed by shrapnel and lying in a pool of blood before being carried away to the hospital. Even Chang Cheng Tieshou, the Pao 2 company who came to supervise the battle, had a bloody cut on his face by shrapnel. It flew obliquely from above the eyebrows, hung on the face, and then shot to the ground. If it flew flat, it would have cut his nose off.

In this era, any limb is broken if it is broken, but no one can connect it again. All medical methods have only one purpose-to live!

So dangerous, the artillery did not flinch!
Finally, after firing three shots in a row, one of the shots hit the frontal armor of the 89 tank, breaking through!

A large hole near the mouth of the bowl was left on the front armor of the 89 tank, and the 89mm short-barreled gun of the 57 tank finally stopped.

No one knows what happened inside the tank.

I can only see that the desperate 89 tank is so silent that it makes people palpitate.

The No. 2 artillery position did not relax, and kept beating the dogs in the water. Two consecutive shells fired over, one shell hit the rear of the 89 tank's flank, and a dazzling flame shot up from the rear of the tank. In less than 10 seconds, the whole tank burned violently, like a lit torch.

Thick black smoke rose into the sky.

"Baga!" Gu Teng, who was watching the battle through a telescope in the distance, froze with his hard eyes.

Based on his experience, except for the tank being destroyed, no material can burn so violently that he can see the smoke column from more than 600 meters away.

It's just that the major general of the Japanese army who fell into a sluggish state obviously didn't see that the Japanese infantry around the tank were starting to flee frantically.

Even though there were still countless bullets flying overhead, they had to stand up and walk away from this area with two strong short legs.

At least five Japanese infantrymen were shot dead on the spot.

But the veteran's judgment is fine.

Because, a Type 89 tank has 50 rounds of ammunition. From the time it entered the battlefield to the present, this dead 89 tank has only fired about 20 rounds, which means that there are still nearly 30 rounds of shells in the tank.

In a tank that is burning violently!

The 30 rounds of shells, being smoked and roasted by thousands of degrees of high temperature, will become even more terrifying than heavy aerial bombs in a short time.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise.

The 89 tank burst into a dazzling flame.

The sound was so loud that even the artillery squad leader with cotton stuffed in his ears couldn't help covering his ears with his hands, let alone the Japanese infantry who were only a dozen or tens of meters away from the tank.

After this battle, more than half of the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to retreat from their positions lost their hearing permanently.

But being able to become a person with a disability certificate at least shows that he is still alive.

At the moment when the shell exploded, ripples that were almost visible to the naked eye swept wildly around the wreckage of the tank, no matter whether they were people or objects, they were all knocked into the air.

No one can survive within a radius of 89 meters with the 30 tank as the center!

According to post-war statistics, the number of Japanese infantrymen who were blown up by this 89 tank and killed by the blast wave was as high as one infantry squad.

In order to avoid the Chinese machine guns, there were too many Japanese infantry behind this big guy.

Perhaps not only infantry, but two or three tons of 94 tanks are not immune to this level of explosion.

A 94 tank that was desperately providing cover for the captain of his second lieutenant was overturned by the air wave because it was too close. car.

No one knows how many of the Japanese armored soldiers died in the end. The key is that this guy became a natural log, crushing the cold soil, flowers and plants, as well as some smart Japanese infantry.

Those smart people are at least seven or eighty meters away from the 89 tanks, and lying on the ground is the best way to avoid the air waves and countless steel fragments, so they successfully avoided the air waves after becoming deaf.

However, he was still dead, crushed to death by his rolling light tank.

"Crack!" If there is a tape recorder here, it may be able to record the creepy sound of human bones being crushed by heavy objects.

It's a pity that no one at the scene could appreciate it, because the loud noise, no matter the Chinese or the Japanese, was all buzzing at the moment.

Even Cai Yongguan, who was more than 200 meters away, did not recover his hearing until the second day after the war, let alone the Japanese around the center of the explosion.

Their disability certificates are accepted.

However, compared to the 94 tank that became a 'rolling log', there was another unlucky kid who was even worse.

The distance was more than 40 meters. The 2-ton car body and 10mm-thick steel plate blocked the fierce air waves and splashing steel fragments.

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, and God gave them a sap.

It was a turret weighing more than 1 ton. Even if Li Yuanba was alive, he couldn't lift it. It just fell from a height of more than 94 meters and hit the [-] armored vehicle.

The 10mm steel plate is really fragile in the face of such a huge force, just like a tough guy who saw his wife having an affair with his own eyes, and was told that his skills were not as good as others, and he collapsed immediately.

Little Douding, who was so tough in front of machine gun bullets, was almost half short!
It is not known whether the Japanese armored soldiers inside will be able to shrink bones, but it is almost certain that their bodies will shrink accordingly.

"Beep!" The Japanese frontline commander rang the siren for retreat.

The Japanese infantry retreated like a tidal wave.

"Order the artillery brigade, concentrate the artillery fire, and kill the Chinese artillery positions!" Gu Teng's long and hard face was frozen like a statue. "Order the infantry artillery squads to fire on me as well, and flatten that hill!"

Don't tell me, from the side view, Gu Teng, who is already in his early 40s, is still a young man with a long, straight nose, and obvious facial muscle lines. His face is stiff, and he has the air of a cold-blooded soldier.

It's just that no one knows the aggrieved heart of the Japanese army major general.

I thought that I had calculated everything, even the opponent's number and strength, and I was sure of winning, but I never thought that wisdom was so useful without the ball, and it was not as practical as the opponent hiding two cannons. For the commander who claims to be a "smart general", it is an extremely serious slap in the face.

Therefore, Furuto, who became angry from embarrassment, even exposed the infantry artillery deployed on various artillery positions 800 meters away, and wanted to kill the artillery hidden by the Chinese.

It must also be able to kill!

He firmly believed that it was impossible for the Chinese to build such a strong fortification in a short period of time.

It was the first time that Japanese artillery units fired at full force.

Clouds of gunpowder smoke rose in the mountains and forests.

Groups of flames rose from the top area of ​​No. 2 Highland.

The two fortifications are like small boats sailing in the sea with huge waves, trembling in the blazing artillery fire, but they will not fall down. The steel plates, logs and thick soil layer laid on the top of the fortifications have greatly weakened the kinetic energy of the shells.

"The Japanese are impatient! They revealed all the hidden birds." Tang Dao, standing in the headquarters 500 meters away, put down his binoculars and smiled. "Order, all 1 mortars of the 82st artillery company, shell the infantry artillery exposed by the Japanese army!"

"Why hasn't there been news from Gu Xishui? The kid's 12 mountain cannons are too harmful to our army." Gong Shaoxun also put down his binoculars, frowning.

The infantry artillery is a direct-pointing artillery. Except that it is more powerful than the mortar for fortification, in such a mountain battle, it is far less threatening than the curved artillery mortar. What Gong Shaoxun fears most is the 75 mountain artillery that stays in the distance.

"Someone said that a meal has to be eaten bite by bite, a road has to walk step by step, and this battle has to be fought shot by shot.

The little devil is a chicken thief, scattered the gun positions in the mountains, the area is too wide, and there are too few six 150 guns in the huge sea, so they can't form a covering attack, so they can only wait for suitable fighters.Let them be proud for a while! "Tang Dao was not in a hurry.

"Go and ask Captain Chen where they are!"
