Chapter 132 Mortar and Infantry Gun Battle
Chapter 132 Mortar and Infantry Gun Battle
On the other side, the Maxim heavy machine gun concentrated its firepower and fired crazily at the Japanese Type 94 tanks.
The armor thickness of the 94 tank is not great, with the maximum thickness on the front being 12 mm and the thinnest part being only 5 mm.
Fortunately, Jiang Tuan knew that they were going south to Songhu to fight the Japanese, so he brought several boxes of steel core bullets.
Steel core bullets have strong armor-piercing capabilities.
Within a range of 600 meters, they fired wildly at the Japanese Type 94 tanks.
Some bullets hit the armor, creating sparks, while some bullets penetrated the armor, killing the Japanese soldiers inside.
In a blink of an eye, many Type 94 tanks were turned into a hornet's nest.
Two of the Type 94 tanks misfired.
Obviously, the machine gunners in the two Type 94 tanks had been killed.
The captain of the Japanese tank squadron roared in anger when he saw that he had lost two Type 89 tanks and eight Type 8 tanks in a blink of an eye.
"Bagayalu, keep going, keep going!"
He roared angrily and told the tank to continue charging.
The tank started up again.
Yuan Shuai's second shell flew behind the tank and exploded, but did not hit it.
Other people's mortar shells also missed.
The reason they hit it just now was because the tank was a stationary target.
But now, the tanks are moving, and their mortars are designed with curves, so it is extremely difficult to hit a moving tank.
"Damn it, eight mortars follow me to bomb the Type 89 tank on the far right!"
Yuan Shuai was so anxious that he shouted angrily.
Everyone quickly adjusted the direction and angle of the gun barrel.
But at this time, the Japanese tanks had already opened fire.
Four tank guns bombarded the position.
Fortunately, their vision was severely obstructed by the smoke, shrapnel and gravel caused by the explosion of grenade launchers, and their hit rate was not high when they were moving.
The four shells did not fall on Yuan Shuai's artillery position.
But the machine gun on the tank was already firing wildly at the position.
Many soldiers who rushed down were hit by bullets and fell in a pool of blood.
When Commander Gui saw this, he grabbed his hat and threw it on the ground.
"Everyone, charge! Charge forward and blow up the tank!"
The team of more than 400 people roared out again.
Some people were holding explosive packs, some were holding cluster grenades, and they charged towards the Japanese tanks.
They were less than a hundred meters away from the tank.
At this time, all the tank machine guns and tank cannons were firing and bombing at the rear positions, and it was time for them to charge.
Although many of the Japanese infantrymen around the tanks were killed, there were still Japanese infantrymen behind them.
The Japanese infantry fired bullets at them crazily.
Many Gui army brothers fell on the way to the charge.
But they did not retreat. Instead, the blood and corpses of their brothers ignited all the anger in their hearts.
Several fast-running brothers rushed to the Type 94 tank, pulled out the cluster grenades, and threw them under the tank.
"Boom boom boom!"
In the blink of an eye, four Type 4 tanks were blown up one after another.
The Japanese only had four Type 94 tanks left.
On the other side, Yuan Shuai's eight mortars fired two rounds of bombardment at the 8 tank on the far right.
Finally, a shell destroyed the Type 89 tank.
The Japanese tank commander suddenly became anxious.
Just now he still had 8 Type 94 tanks and 6 Type 89 tanks.
Now, there are only 4 Type 94 tanks and 3 Type 89 tanks left.
And there was no Japanese soldier around to help defend.
Even the Gui army was approaching them desperately.
If we don't retreat, we will definitely be doomed.
"Bakayaloo, retreat, retreat, retreat!"
"Artillery support, artillery support!"
The Japanese tank squadron leader shouted to retreat and called for artillery support.
Far behind, the Japanese infantry captain saw this scene and cursed angrily.
"Damn it! Where did these troops come from to use mortars to attack the tanks of the Empire of Japan? Inform the artillery to bombard their artillery positions!"
The Japanese brigade has two 2mm infantry guns here.
After receiving the order, the artillery immediately aimed and fired two shells at Yuan Shuai.
"Infantry gun, get down!"
Hearing the sound of flying shells, Yuan Shuai roared loudly.
"Boom!"
Two shells exploded outside the crater, and shrapnel mixed with sand and gravel flew everywhere.
The sand with residual warmth fell on Yuan Shuai's head, and his hair made a hissing sound.
"How dare you bomb me! You guys keep bombing the tanks, I'll deal with his artillery!"
Yuan Shuai got up and shouted loudly towards the front.
"Captain Jiang, bring the telescope over here!"
"Xiao Ma, send the telescope over!"
Captain Jiang was still commanding his troops to shoot at the Japanese soldiers behind the tanks. He couldn't leave, so he could only ask Xiao Ma to go.
Xiao Ma handed the Czech machine gun in his hand to a brother and turned around to run back.
"Yuan Shuai, you are injured!"
Seeing blood coming out of Yuan Shuai’s arm, Xiao Ma’s face was full of worry.
Although he was unhappy with Yuan Shuai before, he just saw how fiercely Yuan Shuai fought the Japanese and how accurately his artillery shells were, and now he admired Yuan Shuai very much.
He took out a ball of gauze and wanted to bandage Yuan Shuai's wound.
"Skin trauma!"
Yuan Shuai took off the telescope hanging around his neck and picked it up to look at the Japanese artillery in the distance ahead.
"Damn it, two thousand one hundred meters..."
"Get down!"
Yuan Shuai heard two artillery shells whistling towards him and pressed Xiao Ma to the ground.
"Boom!"
Two shells exploded.
Shrapnel flew everywhere above their heads, scaring Xiao Ma so much that cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Fuck you, you're addicted to beating me, I'm going to fuck you to death!"
"Boss, quickly kill their artillery! Three of our brothers are dead!"
At this time, the monkey's anxious urging voice was heard not far away.
When the shell exploded just now, three Northwest artillerymen were killed and five were injured.
If they don’t kill the Japanese artillery, all of them will be doomed!
Yuan Shuai climbed up, quickly adjusted the gun barrel, then aimed through the telescope again, adjusted the gun barrel again, and then put in a shell.
"Look at me!"
"Oh!"
With his roar, the cannonball flew out of the barrel and flew into the air carrying him and everyone's hopes.
The shell seemed to have eyes and flew directly to an infantry gun and exploded about two meters away.
All the Japanese around this infantry gun were blown to pieces.
The dead are dead, and those who are not dead lie on the ground wailing in pain.
The next-door artillery was 20 meters away from them.
Although they were not injured by the explosion, the strong heat wave frightened them so much that they lay down quickly.
"Bagaya road!"
Looking at the corpses and wounded beside him, the Japanese soldier manning the infantry gun was so scared that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out.
They were all veterans who had fought many battles with the Nationalist Army. Even when the Nationalist Army's mortars bombarded them face to face, no one had ever been able to hit one of their infantry guns with a single shell.
"Bakayaluo, which army is coming over here?!"
The Japanese captain was so angry that he cursed.
