The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 47 The Burning Chariot

"Change the grenade! The original target is two hundred meters away. Release it from the left and continue shooting!"

Two armor-piercing bullets disabled the Type [-] armored vehicle's ability to move. The driver was killed in the vehicle by an armor-piercing bullet that penetrated the body of the vehicle. The turret was also stuck by another armor-piercing bullet that hit it, making it unable to rotate. The [-]mm machine gun on the turret fired impotently and furiously at a row of positions.

"open!"

Boom—two more shots, and two grenades hit it again. The fragments produced by the violent explosion killed the remaining crew members in the armored vehicle. The machine gun on the turret was also distorted and deformed by the explosion, and it was completely knocked down.

At this time, the Japanese infantry was rushing towards a row under the cover of tanks, trying to guide the tanks to destroy the Luzhai and Juma in the first row, and assaulted them. However, a sudden shot killed one of the tanks. In addition to falling into the anti-tank The two vehicles and the other five vehicles in the trap instantly stopped moving forward. There may be anti-tank traps arranged by the Chinese army on the ground in front, and now there are tank defense guns.

These tanks, unless the driver's head was kicked by a donkey, would not be able to move forward rashly. No one dared to run rampant and could only drive left and right. Even the machine gun fire and artillery fire that suppressed a row of tanks were weakened a bit.

The unlucky Japanese infantry were now unable to rely on tanks as the leader, but they also showed extremely tenacious fighting will and organizational skills, and continued to attack forward without any intention of giving up the attack.

The infantry systematically used Type 11 heavy machine guns and Type [-] light machine guns to continue to suppress a row of positions. Some unwilling Japanese troops tried to attack a row of trenches with grenades. Unfortunately, almost all the grenades fired were in front of a row of trenches. Exploded a few meters away.

The Japanese army is now squirming hard against a row of firepower 200 meters away. Groups of Japanese infantry crawl forward in groups of three to five, shouting, holding shovels, shears, and obstacle-breaking equipment, trying to withstand a row of firepower. The sudden burst of firepower from the platoon forced the infantry to manually open a passage.

He Wei, who had been observing the situation in the trench, seized the opportunity and ordered: "Brothers, fight! Fight the infantry and push them down."

Suddenly, the gunshots of popping beans rang out in a row of positions, and the firepower of the two heavy machine guns became strong again. The Japanese infantry in front of the position fell. The originally suppressed row could not organize continuous firepower and could fight against the artillery. This firing further weakened the Japanese tank's suppressive firepower advantage.

Boom—

Dong dong dong dong—

In the combat anti-artillery position, Chen Xinsheng took aim at the second target, a Type 200 Chinese tank, and ordered to fire again. The hit rate of the combat anti-artillery at a distance of [-] meters was extremely high. Two [-] armor-piercing shells were fired. First, the track of the tank was interrupted, and then two [-] armor-piercing bullets penetrated the side of the tank.

The heavy machine gun deployed by Platoon Leader Wang on the right wing of the position suddenly replaced it with [-] steel core bullets and fired violently at the Japanese tank. One after another [-] steel core bullets hit the tank, and some made a slit. After the steel lines bounced off, sparks popped out, some of which penetrated the car body and drilled black holes.

Boom - Boring - Boom Boom

Another armor-piercing round and two grenades penetrated the turret of the tank, damaging the 57mm tank gun that was smoking.

After two tanks were destroyed in succession, and those that fell into anti-tank traps, only four of the eight tanks that were attacked were left. The remaining four Japanese tanks not only stopped moving forward, but also retreated while firing. .

"Beautiful, destroyed another one!"

Chen Xinsheng whispered.

"Anti-gun!" Boom - Two 57mm tank shells suddenly hit. Chen Xinsheng threw himself to the ground to the right. The Japanese army also discovered the location of the anti-tank artillery and fired at the anti-tank artillery position. The two shells exploded. Two observers were killed.

Chen Xinsheng felt relieved when he saw that the two anti-tank guns were not damaged, and ordered a rapid transfer to the reserve position.

"Hurry and push the cannon to the prepared position, quickly!"

After the two anti-tank guns moved to the reserve position, they continued to fire attacks. This time they attacked the two drowned dogs and the two Type [-] Chinese tanks that had fallen into the pit. Chen Xinsheng ordered the first and second guns to fire separately. A tank that cannot move in a trap is a living target. The first shot is used to deal with a tank that is halfway stuck in the body. The butt of this tank is high, and the parking engine is almost facing the anti-tank gun.

Boom boom—bang
The two consecutive grenades and an armor-piercing bomb fired by the first shot directly exploded the diesel engine at the rear of the car. With the explosion, the entire car body burned, with orange-red flames rising and thick black smoke rising. , the burning and sputtering diesel fuel even ignited several lying Japanese corpses.

On the other tank in the trap, only the turret was exposed on the horizon. But before the second cannon could fire, Chen Xinsheng ordered to stop shooting because he actually saw the crew in the tank crawling out of the turret through the telescope. , abandoned the car and ran away.

"court death!"

He Wei also saw it. Two Japanese tank soldiers climbed out of the turret and wanted to run away. This was reasonable. They couldn't drive the tank away at all, and they would only die if they stayed in the car. But how could He Wei let go? Pass them?

Set up the Czech style, aim at the tank turret, pull the trigger, then stop shooting, bend down and quickly move.

"Da da da, da da da"

After two rounds of three short bursts of fire, the two Japanese tank soldiers who ran out were killed and fell on the tank.

The rhythm and firepower of a row of soldiers fighting back became more and more stable. The destruction of Japanese tanks in Japan and Taiwan boosted the morale of the soldiers and eliminated the fear of many soldiers. Although some people were hit by precise Japanese volley fire one after another, most of them The more they fought, the more brave they became, and they withstood the Japanese army with dense crossfire.

Even Tao Heiwa next to him was not that frightened. He was eager to get up, holding He Wei's hand in hand.

"What's the matter? You're not vomiting anymore? Are you not scared anymore? Do you want to fire two shots?"

Tao Heiwa timidly said: "Platoon leader, I want to...but...I dare not."

He Wei continued to pull the trigger and fire in short bursts, and said: "Don't you dare? You kid can't do this. If you don't dare, you will be killed. Just wait, don't take the lead, just wait. Sooner or later, I will let you kill a Japs." ."

The two sides were in a stalemate for another five minutes. The tank that was blown up burned more and more fiercely. In the thick smoke, the other four tanks completely gave up the attack and collectively retreated more than 5 meters. The anti-artillery platoon carried out operations while marching. A quick pursuit fire was launched, two of the five shells hit, and two armor-piercing shells damaged the retreating tank. Unfortunately, they were unable to completely destroy another tank. The tank that fled in a panic was hidden far away. The combat defense artillery is outside the effective range.

This withdrawal not only removed the tanks, but also the covering firepower on the tanks. Now, the Japanese infantry on the front line had to rely on themselves.

Ge Guicai pointed to the direction in which the tanks were retreating: "Platoon leader, the Japanese tanks have retreated!"
