Chapter 307 Night of Destruction
"No one should run around to pee or have diarrhea! Brothers, follow me and charge!" The platoon leader's voice was like a thunderous roar, piercing the smoke-filled battlefield.
Husband fights with courage.
When the brave platoon leader took the lead in the charge, the morale of all the soldiers skyrocketed.
On this battlefield torn by artillery fire, they had no time to be afraid.
They only knew that only by fighting to the last moment could they bring the remains of their comrades home.
Even though the barrels of the semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns in their hands were already hot after continuous shooting, they still kept moving forward.
The platoon leader led a few people to charge forward, taking advantage of the opportunity that all the defenders on the next line of defense of the Japanese were suppressed by the firepower of the tank main gun and mortar, and quickly moved between multiple bunkers and approached quickly.
The other two combat teams of 3-5 people guarded the platoon leader's flanks, and the submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles in their hands continued to spray water as if the bullets were free.
After the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle had used up 8 rounds of ammunition, the "ding" sound of the magazine being ejected could be heard one after another.
Some Japanese soldiers wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the soldier ran out of ammunition to show up and fight back, but he didn't know that according to the infantry code of the Anmin Army, there was always a soldier in the combat team holding an M1A1 carbine loaded with ammunition to cover his teammates in reloading.
"Bang, bang, bang" three gunshots were heard.
The Japanese soldier who showed his head didn't even raise the rifle in his hand. He fell down again under the precise continuous burst of gunfire. His Type 90 helmet disappeared and his face was covered with blood.
Realizing that the Japanese did not seem to have anti-tank weapons such as anti-tank guns, the tank platoon leader who was assisting the infantry attack boldly led his M24 tanks to advance towards the Japanese second line of defense.
However, during the attack on the first line of defense of the Japanese, an M24 accidentally ran over a mine left by John's defenders in the chaos, and its tracks were blown off. As a result, only three M24s in the four-vehicle tank platoon could continue to move forward.
However, even if there were only three "armored monsters", the Japanese on this line of defense still had no way to deal with them.
The M24 Chaffee was a light tank used for reconnaissance and outflanking, produced by General Motors' Cadillac division. Its front armor was only 38mm thick at its thickest point, and its 75mm main gun had poor armor-piercing power.
Therefore, in the Korean War, it was unable to penetrate or defend against the T-34-85 and IS-2 equipped by the North Korean Army and the Volunteer Army, and was beaten badly. This indirectly gave birth to the next generation of light tanks M41 'Walker Mad Dog', the latter fired 76mm armor-piercing shells that had a chance of penetrating even the frontal armor of the IS-3.
(One of the reasons why North Korea was able to penetrate the Peninsula in one wave in the early days and almost quickly passed through the Peninsula was that the White Eagle considered the Peninsula to be a secondary area and only deployed M24s on the Peninsula. In addition, the bazooka rocket launcher often jumped out of the group when hitting sloped armor, which was completely unable to stop the North Korean T-34-85 tank regiment)
(For the story about the Smith Task Force firing multiple rounds of bazooka at a T-34-8510 but still being ineffective, you can go to Station B to watch the video)
The only weapons to bully the Japanese are "human bombs", but the small M24 can fire with the unstoppable momentum of a "Big Mac".
A Japanese soldier on the ground, whose legs were cut off by a machine gun and who was still struggling, was instantly caught in the tracks, making a creaking sound and breaking his bones.
The desperate wails of the dying devils naturally could not be heard in the tank. Inside the three-man turret, the commander, enduring the roar of the engine, asked in the vehicle's internal channel:
"Did you run over a log? Old Zhou, drive slower and be careful."
The driver, concentrating on driving while observing the road through the thick bulletproof glass in the front of the car, replied casually:
"No, I'm an experienced driver, I'm very stable."
"Bullshit, who drove the car into the ditch during training?" The commander said as he turned the 360° periscope on the commander's tower and instantly locked onto the target.
The commander immediately gave the order:
"At 1 o'clock, 120 meters, a machine gun in a masonry bunker! Reload a white phosphorus incendiary round!"
Upon receiving the order, the loader immediately flexed his biceps, took out the 75mm shell with a pink-painted warhead from the ammunition rack, and stuffed it into the breech block neatly.
"White phosphorus incendiary bomb, load!"
As the gunner stepped on the ignition pedal, the white phosphorus incendiary bomb was instantly ignited.
"boom!"
The bullet flew through the air at high speed and hit the target accurately in almost an instant.
After a burst of explosions, white phosphorus incendiary agent splashed everywhere and splashed through the shooting holes onto the Japanese machine gunner hiding behind the bunker.
Soon, several Japanese soldiers were engulfed in green phosphorous flames in the darkness, screaming and transformed into dancing figures. The terrifying white phosphorus incendiary agent, once exposed to air, not only burned through clothing and skin, but also flesh and bone, burning through them without stopping.

Although the offensive forces of the Anmin Army had broken through many of the Japanese defense lines, they still resisted stubbornly.
The Japanese machine gunners and infantry struggled desperately, trying to use their last bit of strength to delay time, but their resistance was ultimately unable to withstand the all-out attack of the Anmin Army.
The roar of machine gunfire thrummed in my ears, but was drowned out by the even heavier artillery fire. The battlefield was thick with smoke, and the sound of explosions was almost indistinguishable from the roar of thunder.
When the 155mm high-explosive warhead fell with devastating force, all the Japanese soldiers who came from the rear to support the precarious defense line were covered in artillery fire.
With the continued bombardment of artillery fire, the rear support channel was cut off, and the Japanese second line of defense, without any reinforcements, became increasingly chaotic.
Seeing this, the Japanese soldiers who were making a flanking move on the flank did not bother to continue the flanking move and turned around and collided with the offensive spearhead of the Anmin Army.
-----
"Captain Hu, report the battle situation ahead immediately!"
"Report to your Excellency, we have broken through the Japanese's first line of defense and have now entered their second line of defense. We are currently clearing out the Japanese. However, our right wing is under attack by the Japanese!"
Bai Minghui, who was guarding the radio station, was constantly communicating with the various combat units. Noticing the changes on the battlefield, he acted decisively and immediately gave the order:
"Immediately activate artillery firepower and concentrate on attacking the rear of the Japanese second line of defense to ensure fire suppression."
"Let Captain Xing lead his regiment to support the right wing. I will give him two self-propelled anti-aircraft gun batteries. I have only one request: send those Japs back home!"

"Baga, attack! Attack quickly!" A Japanese officer waved the command knife in his hand frantically. The next moment, his pupils contracted violently, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing.
