I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 712: Flying a Kite with a Tank
On Shuiquan City.

After Yang Yuanshan gave the order to He Yongfu and others to retreat, he saw that the Japanese dared to pursue them relentlessly.

He immediately ordered the messenger to go and give orders to the tank company, asking them to go out and help the second and fourth battalions buy time to retreat.

The tank company had been bombarded by the Japanese field artillery, and the soldiers were almost suffocated to death.

After retreating to the vicinity of the east gate of Shuiquan City, the soldiers were eagerly waiting for the order to attack.

Now hearing the order, he immediately roared with excitement.

He immediately started the tank and rushed towards the Japanese.

However, before setting off, the tank company commander Kong Dacheng still emphasized Yang Yuanshan's order:
"Don't get close to the Japanese infantry, or your tracks will be blown off.

We were only allowed to shoot at them with heavy machine guns from a few hundred meters away, circle around them, and let them passively take the beating.

Just fly them like a kite!"

The soldiers were somewhat unhappy when they heard this order.

How can it be as fun to fire with a heavy machine gun as to crush someone with a tank?

But they also knew that military orders were difficult to disobey, so they nodded and agreed.

……

Soon, their eight tanks rumbled towards the Japanese with black smoke coming out.

With a speed of up to 50 kilometers per hour, they rushed from the east gate of Shuiquan City to the north of Shuiquan City in just a few minutes!
At this moment, the soldiers of the Special Forces Regiment had not yet completely retreated into Shuiquan City. When they heard the roar coming from behind, they all turned their heads to look.

Then he was overjoyed and couldn't help shouting loudly:

"Our tanks are coming, the end of the Japanese devils has come!"

"Comrades of the tank company, beat the Japs hard!"

"These guys who are fed with dog food still dare to chase us!

Can't crush them to death!"

……

The soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment were also retreating.

When I saw the tanks of the special forces regiment and their majestic appearance, I couldn't help but feel jealous.

Everyone thought: If only our battalion had two, no, even one tank!
We can definitely hold this position today.

Rush down from Gaojia Ridge and directly destroy all of the Japanese's heavy machine guns and artillery, so that these bastards will dare to bully us!

……

Over there with the little devil.

The Japanese soldiers who were chasing the special forces regiment soldiers saw a huge steel beast with gun muzzles all over its body rushing towards them.

Suddenly everyone was terrified.

He quickly turned his head to look at the officer beside him.

Hopefully they can find a way to stop these behemoths.

However, what can these team leaders and squadron leaders do?
Without anti-tank guns, what use are these Type 38 rifles and grenade launchers in their hands?
For a moment, the entire Japanese pursuit team seemed a little confused.

The officers and soldiers were all a little at a loss.

I didn't know whether to continue chasing or turn around and run.

……

Behind the Japanese troops, Harada Yuji was still excited that his men had already captured the commanding heights of Gaojiazhai.

But he didn't expect that before he was happy for three minutes, he saw the tanks of the special forces regiment rushing towards him through the telescope.

I couldn't help but get furious!
The revenge for the annihilation of his search team has not yet been avenged.

All these old and new grudges made him so angry!
But at the moment, without an anti-tank gun, he couldn't think of any way to fight these tanks.

I could only turn around and ask the Chief of Staff:

"Shirataki-kun, the Tubalu's tanks are coming again. How should we respond?"

Shirataki Rijiro was also scratching his head. He thought for three seconds before answering with gritted teeth:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I'm afraid we can only ask the warriors to use cluster grenades to blow up the tracks of the enemy tanks."

Hearing this, Harada Yuji felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

How could he not know the price behind these words?

But now, it seems that there is no other way except this one.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent out a messenger to give orders to the Japanese soldiers in front.

……

Now, the main force chasing the special forces regiment in the front is the 220th Regiment.

When the regiment commander Shigemasa Kawase heard the messenger convey Harada Yuji's order, he was immediately upset.

Using cluster grenades to blow up tank tracks is simply sending the warriors under his command to their deaths!
The Eighth Route Army's tanks are obviously steel behemoths, how could they be so easy to blow up?

But he could not disobey orders. Seeing that the tanks of the special forces regiment were getting closer and closer, he could only call a squadron leader who he usually disliked, and arrange for him to organize the soldiers and prepare cluster grenades.

……

Kong Dacheng led his tank company, bypassing the retreating soldiers of the independent regiment and the special forces regiment, and rushed towards the Japanese. Then, when they were still four or five hundred meters away from the Japanese vanguard, he shouted:

"Machine gunner, fire!
Beat these bastards up and make them chase our people!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of heavy machine guns resounded throughout the battlefield—

"Da da da... da da da..."

Eight tanks and 16 heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, instantly interrupting the Japanese pursuit momentum.

The Japanese soldiers who charged the most fiercely had blood holes as big as bowls on their bodies. After screaming, they fell to the ground.

The medical soldiers in the rear had no interest in going forward to rescue.

——They are not stupid. They know exactly which injuries are treatable and which injuries will definitely lead to death!

"Get down! Get down!"

Seeing such a horrible scene, the Japanese officers roared loudly.

After hearing this, the soldiers finally reacted and quickly lay down.

There was no time to chase after the Special Forces Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

Kawase Shigemasa was extremely anxious when he saw this situation, and he immediately shouted:

"Ito-kun, hurry up, take your men forward and blow up the tracks of the Eighth Route Army's tanks!"

When the squadron leader, Captain Nobuhiro Ito, heard the shouting, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

But on the surface, he had no choice but to accept the order.

Then he called his men and rushed towards the tanks of the special forces regiment with bags of grenades packed in their pants.

However, they soon discovered in despair that the tanks of the special forces regiment did not rush directly in front of them, giving them an opportunity to take advantage.

Instead, when it was less than 200 meters away from them, it suddenly changed direction and headed towards Gaojiazhai in the east.

There, the Japanese soldiers from the 221st Regiment were still chasing the soldiers from the rd Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

……

At the foot of Gaojia Ridge, Wang Huaibao was leading his men to cover the retreat.

Since the Japanese had occupied the commanding heights of Gaojiazhai and had the advantage of geographical location, Wang Huaibao was badly suppressed at this moment. He could only rely on a few heavy machine guns to barely resist and buy time for the slower soldiers.

"Battalion Commander, you retreat first. I will lead my comrades to cover you!"

Company commander Yu Qingming shouted while dodging the hail of bullets overhead.

"I'm the battalion commander. I'll cover you. You retreat!!!"

Wang Huaibao answered firmly.

With the Type 38 rifle in his hand, he shot down a Japanese soldier with one shot.

Yu Qingming was of course unwilling to do so. He was about to order the soldiers to forcibly drag Wang Huaibao away when suddenly a soldier shouted excitedly:
"Battalion Commander, the tanks of the special forces regiment are here, we are saved."

Upon hearing this, Wang Huaibao turned his head and saw eight tanks rumbling towards them, emitting black smoke.

The tank's heavy machine gun was still spewing flames at the Japanese, mowing down all of them who were desperately chasing them.

Seeing this, Wang Huaibao immediately shouted excitedly:
"Comrades, the comrades from the Special Forces Regiment are here to cover us, retreat quickly!"

Hearing his order, someone immediately shouted:

"Battalion Commander, the heavy machine gun hasn't exploded yet!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Huaibao wished he could slap this guy to death and then see what was in his head!

How could a human being blow up such a good heavy machine gun?

He shouted quickly:
“The gun bombing plan is cancelled!
Four men stood up and retreated with heavy machine guns!

The tanks of the special forces regiment are here to cover us, are we still afraid that we won't be able to retreat?"

……

The fact was just as Wang Huaibao expected. After Kong Dacheng's tank rushed over here, it directly attracted all the attention of the Japanese 221st Regiment.

They carried heavy machine guns and successfully retreated into Shuiquan City.

Kong Dacheng watched as some Japanese infantrymen rushed towards his tanks under heavy machine gun fire, and he quickly ordered the tanks to retreat.

Then they turned another corner and headed west to stop the Japanese from rushing towards Shuiquan City.

In this way, their eight tanks were like kites in front of the Japanese army.

The strategy of "When the enemy retreats, I advance; when the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy is tired, I attack" came into being. On the battlefield, we took a stroll.

Continue to use heavy machine guns to harvest the Japanese.

The Japanese soldiers were so angry that they kept crying, but they were completely unable to do anything about them.

The division commander, Harada Yuji, was so angry that he jumped up and down, and kept cursing:

"Baga! Shameless rat!

A coward who dares not face off!
Cunning Tubalu..."
