I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 698: Can we defeat an opponent with such firepower density?

The Japanese charged at a fairly fast speed. In about ten minutes, one of their regiments had reached a position about 1500 meters in front of the position of the Second Battalion of the Special Service Regiment.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Second Battalion all became nervous involuntarily.

Eagerly waiting for He Yunfu's order to fire.

However, they didn't wait in the end.

Because just one or two minutes later, when the Japanese rushed forward another two or three hundred meters, a burst of intensive artillery fire suddenly came from the rear -

“Bang… bang… bang…”

Then, they saw the Japanese soldiers rushing towards their position falling down like wheat being cut.

The Japanese assault team was plowed into bloody trenches by each artillery shell!
The shells from the Oerlikon 20mm machine gun cut the Japanese soldiers in half one by one!
The battlefield suddenly became horrific!
Broken limbs flew everywhere, blood splattered...

When the regiment commander Shigemasa Kawase, who was in charge of commanding his soldiers to charge, saw this, he was immediately horrified!
I couldn't help but scream:
"Baga! What kind of artillery is this from the Tubalu?"

The Chief of Staff Ishikawa Michitaka beside him quickly reminded:
"Sir, the caliber of this shell is very small, probably less than 30mm!

I heard that the Eighth Route Army is equipped with the Sulutong ST-5 machine gun!

Maybe this is it!
We should immediately ask the warriors to lie down to avoid the artillery fire, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is too dense! "

Hearing this, Kawase Shigemasa finally reacted and shouted loudly:

"Hurry up, get down! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

In fact, he didn't need to give the order. Most of the smart Japanese soldiers, when they saw their colleagues in front of them being cut in half by artillery shells and felt the blood splattering on their faces, fell to the ground and trembled like dogs eating shit.

Only those who were slow to react lay down and trembled at Kawase Shigemasa's command.

Feeling the whistling sound of the shells flying overhead, most of the Japanese soldiers lost confidence in victory and couldn't help thinking in their hearts: The Eighth Route Army is too scary!

Can we defeat an opponent with this kind of firepower density?

After Kawase Shigemasa ordered the soldiers to lie down, he calmed down a little, looked up at the power of the special forces regiment's machine gun, and felt very fortunate.

I couldn't help but brag to Ishikawa Michitaka:
"Fortunately our infantry artillery did not open fire, otherwise we would have been hit first by the Tubalu!

I heard that the range of the Suloton ST-5 machine gun is more than 5000 meters. If our infantry guns want to strike the Tubalu trenches, they will definitely be within their range! "

Ishikawa Michitaka nodded repeatedly:

"Your Excellency, the Captain, is very far-sighted. I admire you!"

……

Behind the Japanese troops, the division commander Harada Yuji was also shocked by this sudden change.

Seeing that his men had suffered heavy casualties, he shouted:

"Artillery, hurry up and blow up the Tubalu's artillery!"

Hearing his order, Shirataki Rijiro couldn't help but roll his eyes and quickly reminded:
"Your Excellency, our field artillery is preparing to deal with the Eighth Route Army's tanks, and we have no spare energy."

"Baga! Where's our infantry gun?"

Harada Yuji roared.

"Your Excellency, the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army is about three or four kilometers away.

Our infantry artillery has a range of only 2700 meters and can’t hit them at all.”

Shirataki Rijiro smiled bitterly.

“Bagya Road!
The Empire's weapons designers are all idiots!

The infantry artillery is unable to undertake the task of fire support! "

Harada Yuji cursed.

Shirataki Rijiro didn't like what he said.

Who doesn't know that the Type 92 infantry gun is the most suitable battalion and company-level fire support weapon for mountain warfare?

Everyone who has used it says it’s good!
The reason why it is not applicable now is simply because the group of Eighth Route Army soldiers in front of us are not normal.

However, he was not interested in arguing with Harada Yuji, so he quickly reminded him:
"Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army's machine guns are direct fire, and we can only achieve results by using surprise.

It’s actually nothing to be afraid of.”

Hearing this, Harada Yuji's eyes lit up.

He immediately and anxiously asked his dog-headed military advisor:
"Shirataki-kun, do you have any good ideas to deal with them?"

Shirataki Rijiro smiled slightly:
"Your Excellency, division commander, as long as we give the order, the warriors will crawl forward.

The Tubalu's machine guns can't hit them at all, so they can only waste ammunition."

"Yoshi!"

Harada Yuji nodded repeatedly.

Then he loudly ordered:
"Hurry up, let Kawase-kun and his men crawl forward immediately.

As long as we can break into the Tubalu's trenches, we will win."

"Hi!"

……

Soon, a Japanese messenger delivered his order to Kawase Shigemasa.

The enemy was originally lying on the ground, waiting for artillery support from the rear, but they did not expect to receive this order to force them to hold on.

He was naturally in a bad mood.

But an order is an order, and he, a mere regiment commander, had no ability to argue with the division commander.

After all, if you fail to become a general, you will end up being an ant!

He could only raise his head, shout out orders, and let his men charge forward at the risk of their lives.

When the Japanese soldiers heard the order, they all naturally thought MMP.

But they had no choice but to bite the bullet and crawl forward despite the terrifying shells.

It must be said that although direct-fire artillery is powerful against infantry, it does have this shortcoming:

Shooting at a slightly higher angle can fully utilize the range, but it gives the enemy a chance to lie down and avoid the gun;
If the angle is too low, the shells will sink into the soil and will hardly have much effect.

Therefore, when the Japanese soldiers were all crawling on the ground, the dense hail-like rain of bullets fired by the more than 20 Oerlikon machine guns of the Special Forces Regiment were mostly useless.

...In the trenches of the Second Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment, Company Commander Xia Dayi saw this and could not help but frown and said to He Yunfu:
"Battalion Commander, the Japs are very clever.

What should we do now? "

“Don’t worry, let the little devil crawl for a while.

When they get within range of our infantry guns, our 24 infantry guns will teach them a lesson."

He Yunfu was very calm.

"Well, that's all."

……

At the position of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, Battalion Commander Guo Youqing, of course, also saw the Japanese response through a telescope.

He couldn't help but frowned.

It seems that continuing to fight will be useless except wasting artillery shells.

He immediately ordered:
"Stop the shelling and let our artillery rest."

First Company Commander Xu Chao asked:
"Captain, if the Japs play this way, our battalion will be useless."

Guo Youqing knew this, of course, and was very upset, but as the battalion commander, he certainly couldn't be the first to lose confidence, so he immediately comforted Xu Chao:

"Humph! I don't believe that the Japanese will never stand up again!
Comrades, let's be ready. As soon as we see the Japanese standing up, we will open fire.

As long as they lie down, we will cease fire.

Just use the machine gun as a heavy machine gun.

I don't believe that we can't cure these sons of bitches!"

"Yes!"

……

On the wall of Shuiquan City, Yang Yuanshan also saw the actions of the Japanese devils, but did not pay much attention to them.

Instead, he ordered:
"Telegraph operator, send a message to Gao Yuanzhi, asking him whether they have made arrangements on Mount Wangmu?

If not, speed up! "

"Yes!"

……

On the Japanese side, Harada Yuji saw that the crawling tactic forced the special forces regiment's machine guns to stop firing, and he couldn't help but feel very satisfied.

Just as he was about to brag, he heard the loud sound of a field artillery fire not far away.

"Bang...bang bang bang..."

He realized what was happening, and quickly raised his telescope to observe, while saying to Shirataki Rijiro beside him:
“Yoshi!
"Hiroshino-kun's field artillery has opened fire, and the Eighth Route Army's tanks will soon be destroyed."

Shirataki Rijiro nodded repeatedly:
"Your Excellency the Division Commander is right.

No tank can withstand the power of my locust army's field artillery!!!"

However, they both soon discovered that something seemed not right!

……

The eight tanks of the special forces regiment have been replenishing fuel and ammunition at the foot of Shuiquan City.

Fuel was relatively convenient. Yang Yuanshan quietly took out gasoline from the system warehouse, which was transported out of the city by the tank soldiers and quickly filled into the tank's fuel tank.

However, the supply of artillery shells and heavy machine gun bullets is relatively troublesome.

After all, the tank hatch is too small.

Especially the last tank, whose tracks were broken by a Japanese grenade. It took Kong Dacheng a lot of effort to replace the tracks. He drove back to Shuiquan City just one second before the Japanese rushed out.

So the tank soldiers had to spend a lot of time to replenish all these things.

Just as they finished this task and were climbing into the tank, preparing for battle, a shell landed 20 meters to their left.

"boom!"

A huge explosion was heard, and the shock wave of the exploding shells caused two soldiers who were climbing onto the tank and preparing to get in to fall off the tank and break their arms.

I couldn't help but scream:

"Captain, my arm seems to be broken!"

Kong Dacheng saw this and immediately shouted:

“The Japs are bombing!
Sun Xiaodou, Wu Youtian, the two of you should retreat back to the city for treatment first!
Come on, two people, fill in the position!

fast!
Tanks with personnel in place, start immediately and move back!"

Hearing his order, Guan Xuebin, who had been waiting anxiously for the opportunity to drive a tank, suddenly felt that the opportunity had come and shouted:
"Shen Tianwen, you fill in with me!

Everyone else, rescue the injured comrades!

Hurry up! "

"Yes!"

Together with Guan Xuebin, Shen Tianwen, who came to the Special Forces Regiment from the brigade headquarters to study, excitedly received the order.

Then he strode towards a tank.

Soon, they rushed into their respective tanks, closed the tank doors, and started the tanks to avoid the Japanese artillery fire.

At this time, the second round of artillery fire from the Japanese was already in place.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Three shells landed near the tank, and the shock wave of the explosion caused debris to fly everywhere and made the tank armor clang.

This kind of scene made all the special forces soldiers who saw it very worried.

Everyone was thinking: Are our eight tanks going to be destroyed?
