The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 529 Another Battle on the Great Wall

Street fighting is not easy to fight. As common sense, soldiers with a little more experience know this well. If they are not forced to, they will try their best to avoid getting their troops into the environment of street fighting, because that mostly means their own superior equipment and tactics. The defended party used the familiar geographical conditions to bring them closer, resulting in a similar casualty ratio.

The Japanese army especially doesn't want to do this. In the past few years, they fought against China many times. One was along the Great Wall and the other was in Shanghai. Each close-range combat on complex terrain would cause considerable damage. The Japanese Army also dares to boldly estimate that one of their brigades can beat the opponent by one division, and it is not a dream to have a casualty ratio of one to ten.

But today, the situation is reversed. The powerful Japanese army has become the defensive side!

Since the Meiji Restoration, the brand-new Japanese army has summed up the advanced military experience of powerful countries such as Britain, France and Germany. Advanced relevant combat experience, so for more than a year, we can only cross the river by feeling the stones, deploying some urgent fortifications in the counties along the Great Wall, and let the defense troops familiarize themselves with the battlefield as much as possible for the future.

Putting themselves in such a weak position made the entire Kwantung Army feel ashamed and put all their strength into it. As long as there is an opportunity, they must do their best to inflict indelible damage on the opponent, so as to serve as a warning to others!

Now, here's your chance!

Tadao Teragaki believed it [-]%.With the fighting spirit of the imperial soldiers, that narrow and crowded small county town will become a nightmare they will never forget!

In the county town, when the fierce artillery fire began to extend and bombard the other three walls, at the base of the collapsed city wall, the observation post that survived the disaster extinguished the sparks on his body, squinted his eyes and looked out from the huge crack, and was blown away by the wind. Behind the billowing thick smoke covering the sky, dozens of huge figures slowly approached, and the tall and thick barrels and the clanging and crisp collision sounds as they advanced revealed their identities.It is the main tank of the attacking force!

"Attention all! The Chinese chariot troops are coming! All weapons are ready!"

The low and hoarse orders were transmitted from the wired phone to the concealed fortifications in the densely packed houses outside the city wall. After suffering the impact of violent explosions for several 10 minutes, the Japanese soldiers whose ears were still buzzing resisted the discomfort and pushed away the collapsed earth and rocks. Head out, rushing into the streets under the smoke of the boiling flames, doing their best to restore the fortifications, and pushing the surviving anti-tank guns, anti-tank guns, anti-tank mines and replica "Iron Fist" weapons into the streets He opened his mouth, widened his red eyeballs, and stared straight ahead!

A small town with a circumference of six hundred feet cannot accommodate too many people.As a result, the large areas outside the four gates were filled with new residential buildings, and the rest were farmland. If the other side wanted to get over the collapsed city wall, the best way was to follow the original streets, and most of them The means of defense are all based on this assumption.

The tanks of the squadron are huge.It is very heavy, with thick armor and strong firepower. This has become the consensus of the Japanese army, and they want to kill them in the field.Unless it is bombarded by large-caliber heavy artillery, those seemingly powerful tanks of their own are vulnerable to a single blow.

The anti-tank artillery made by laying the m-aircraft gun flat, blasting them with explosives or anti-tank mines, or using Molotov cocktails to smoke them out... It's all possible, and the streets and alleys.It is the best environment to play these tactics!

near!near!You can already clearly see the group of tanks arrogantly erecting their gun barrels to rotate and point at will. After a few tens of meters, they will enter the best attack field of view of the anti-tank guns!

Captain Ozawa, who served as the commander of the front ground, stopped breathing nervously, holding the saber tightly in his right hand, his palm was sweaty, and two bean-sized beads of sweat slid down his cheeks on his forehead, leaving two distinct black and red lines. His triangular eyes kept staring straight ahead.Just waiting for the moment when the other party breaks into the trap!

Half of the m cannon was buried deep in the ground, the barrel was only one meter above the ground, and the muzzle of the black hole was slightly raised, pointing to the end of the street about 300 meters ahead!

A round of armor-piercing bullets had already been stuffed into the barrel, and the artilleryman next to him was shaking slightly while holding the matchlock, his ears pricked up, waiting for the order!

A gust of wind suddenly hit, blowing the diffuse smoke and dust into all directions, and in the large space in front of Guanlan Gate, the field of vision suddenly became clear. The chariots scattered together into a battle line with a width of 500 meters, staggering back and forth into the pitted and messy battlefield after being ravaged by artillery fire!

The first ones are a few "Cheetah-3" tanks with obviously thicker gun barrels and a bigger stature!These guys with superhuman first-class firepower swayed slightly at the intersection of the streets and alleys where the big pit was blown out. Unexpectedly, they did not drive straight in, but turned around and rushed towards the collapsed or intact residential buildings next to them. The stone wall, with a "bang", slammed into it!

"Hey! What are the Chinese people doing?!"

Captain Ozawa screamed, this is against the rules!If you don't go on a good road, why hit the wall? Could it be that the heads of their tankers are all broken? !

The soldiers who were ready to do a big fight were all dumbfounded. They found that the tanks in front of them seemed to be doing the same thing. They didn't take the usual way, directly hit the wall and demolished the house!

The low-slung bungalows are as fragile as tofu dregs in front of the steel monster weighing more than 30 tons. The tanks with sideways turrets effortlessly knock down all the walls, houses, and trees blocking the front, rumbling continuously Amidst the endless muffled noise, a large cloud of smoke and dust diffused again, covering the sky above the battlefield!

Looking down from a high altitude, on the 500-meter-wide front, seven or eight "Cheetah-3" tanks took the lead and forcibly removed a passage from the houses with a thickness of hundreds of meters, followed by infantry vehicles. Short and bright tongues of flames were continuously shot out from the shooting holes, sometimes it was simply grenades one by one, with explosions and screams one after another!

Except for a few fortifications blocking intersections, most of the soldiers of the Japanese puppet army are lurking in houses on both sides of the street, or on slightly higher trees and roofs, and the tanks that suddenly rampage just press their scalps or arch Few people were buried alive in the collapse caused by overturning their footholds and rumbling past!

Fortunately, those who were not affected were swept to the ground by the heavy machine guns on the following infantry vehicles before throwing out the grenade or Molotov cocktail in their hands!

Seven or eight passages move forward together, and in a blink of an eye, the ruined battlefields everywhere are completely turned into rubbish dumps!

Chinese tanks are too strong, and those buildings that seem to be obstacles are vulnerable at all. They don't need to follow the inherent route. This is a small city, not a metropolis full of tall buildings. Prepare according to previous judgments. impossible!

Captain Ozawa is not a person who hesitates. The corner of his eye was almost burst and bleeding. He made a decisive decision, gritted his teeth and ordered: "All retreat, we will go to the city to fight the Chinese people!"

Hundreds of soldiers dropped heavy weapons that could not be moved, and ran away in a panic.The so-called blockade at the intersection has become a joke. There are a lot of empty guys who are separated by several floors of houses and can't do it. This battle is really aggrieved!

They climbed back to the county seat along the collapsed city wall, and more infantry vehicles and tanks rushed into the street. No matter what was in front of them, as long as they felt suspicious, they would immediately bombard them and blow them all around on the spot. Flying, and then rumbled and crushed aggressively, without stopping at all!

Hundreds of tanks and chariots dispersed in formation almost chasing the heels of the Japanese army to the bottom of the city wall. A few sturdy pontoon vehicles laid heavy steel plates on the gentle slope formed by the collapse, allowing the big tanks to drive into the city. The wheeled infantry vehicles with greatly enhanced climbing ability easily followed, and the swarms of steel torrents quickly rushed into the smoldering walls!

The small county town that has been preserved for thousands of years is so crowded that there is almost no open space, and there are densely packed rows of houses. After being plowed back and forth several times by heavy artillery, the collapsed wall near the gate of the city almost covered the roof. Everywhere you look, you can see that there are all houses stacked on top of each other, and the street is so narrow that a donkey cart can barely pass through it. Except for Zhongyang Street, other places cannot be walked by heavy armor at all!

This is the location on which the Japanese army relies!Even if it is a powerful heavy tank, it can only do nothing in the face of such dense houses?Even if you can tear down the wall, where can you tear it down?Even the walls don't have room to collapse, so can you walk off the roof? !

Captain Ozawa was in the concealed fortification hundreds of meters away from the city wall, his eyes were bloodshot and he stared at the tank that rushed in, with a ferocious smile on his lips. This time, there is nothing you can do? !

Dozens of tanks that came in first stopped their progress, but they only stabilized for tens of seconds, and suddenly turned their turrets to point at the house in front. In the next moment, a series of "boom boom boom" explosions In the midst of the sound, each of them opened fire, smashing the shells into the wall blocking the front without hesitation!

"How can this be?!" Captain Ozawa was completely dumbfounded!

These Chinese people are too careless, they don't play cards according to the routine!How can they do this?Do battles always follow certain rules?On your own country, facing the homes of your own people, you are so brutally bombarded with cannons, why didn't you just cover it with artillery fire, that would be more straightforward, wouldn't it?

Could it be that they intend to keep bombing with tanks to the end like this? !

That's right!He really guessed right!From the beginning, Luo Zhendong's combat deployment was arranged like this!

"We don't have time to dawdle with the Japanese army. A small county town should not become a stumbling block. Destroy it directly, leaving no future trouble!"
