Chapter 258 Armored Infantry
Tang Guoping was looking at the Japanese army camp in the distance with a telescope. After his subordinates reminded him, this guy sneered.
The Japanese's last trick was simple, which was to tie grenades on many soldiers, and then rush up and die together with our armored vehicles.
We've suffered losses before, how could we let you succeed?
The sound of explosions continued to be heard. Those were the Japanese soldiers with grenades tied to their bodies who were blown to death, but none of them could get close to the armored vehicle.
It turned out that when these people appeared, the soldiers on the armored vehicles came out quickly. They were either holding sniper rifles or submachine guns. They lined up on both sides of the armored vehicles and fired at the Japanese in the distance.
Aren't you taking advantage of the fact that the machine guns on our armored vehicles can't hit you? Then our soldiers will come out.
The last time his brothers suffered heavy losses, two terms appeared in Li Shaoyi's mind, one was infantry-tank coordinated combat, and the other was armored infantry.
At this moment, even if there were various shooting holes on the armored vehicles, there was no way to kill all the people around. There were five or six people on each armored vehicle, holding automatic weapons in their hands. If these people could still rush up, that would be a miracle.
More than a dozen Japanese soldiers with grenades strapped to their bodies kept exploding around the armored vehicles. Although their explosions also caused certain damage to the surrounding soldiers, at least our armored vehicles were saved. If such tactics had not been adopted, I am afraid that several armored vehicles would have been destroyed today.
"Full speed ahead."
After seeing these people being blown up, our artillery also stopped. Tang Guoping waved his hand, and the brothers around him immediately rushed forward, ready to wipe out this group of Japanese troops.
The Japanese put a lot of thought into this military camp. Even with our fierce bombardment, many bunkers were still there.
Li Shaoyi was watching through a telescope from a distance and understood why there were so many casualties in fighting the Japanese in that era. If it were any other army, they would probably have lost dozens of people just because of those bunkers.
In the absence of heavy weapons, they could only rely on their brothers' lives to charge forward, with machine guns providing cover and soldiers charging forward with explosive packs.
But even so, no one can rush through unless a group of people die.
But now the brothers of the 72nd Brigade don't have to fight like this. When encountering such a bunker, the armored vehicle rushes in front and the soldiers follow behind the armored vehicle. If the angle is designed well, the artillery on the armored vehicle can fire directly at the bunker until it is destroyed.
"Damn it, it's dead..."
A Japanese soldier was standing in the bunker, with two Type 92 infantry guns on both sides. When he saw the armored vehicles rushing towards him, he wished he could strap grenades on his body and blow them up, but this tactic no longer worked.
Looking at the slowly approaching armored vehicles, they were almost firing their gun barrels red, but the problem was that the bullets from the heavy machine guns could not penetrate these armored vehicles at all. If they had 12.7mm machine guns, then these armored vehicles would definitely not survive for more than two minutes, but the problem was that they didn't have any.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun uses a 30-round magazine for ammunition supply. If you aim at a certain position on the armored vehicle and shoot continuously, you can penetrate it. However, the armored vehicle moves too fast, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun's rate of fire is too slow, with too many gaps between changing bullets, so there is no possibility of penetrating it at all. You can only anxiously watch these guys screaming.
Just after this guy finished shouting, a shell hit the front of the bunker, and a lot of wall paint and dust fell off the entire bunker.
"Run."
Although only one shell was fired, the Japanese soldiers next to them were already preparing to escape. He saw very clearly just now that the bunker next to them, which was of the same size as theirs, was directly blown up by the armored vehicles outside.
So if they don't run now, the armored vehicles will send a large number of shells over, and they won't be able to run away even if they want to.
"No one can be a deserter..."
The leading officer immediately took out his samurai sword, blocked the exit, and ordered the soldiers to return to the machine gun positions.
The soldiers had no time to hesitate. When they were about to go back, the second shell had already been fired. Then, at a frequency of one shell every two seconds, the shells outside continued to hit the bunker.
When these people returned to the machine gun position, the roof above could no longer hold, and a large number of bricks and cement blocks fell down, and many people's heads were broken.
Of course, this minor injury was nothing to them, and they could no longer take care of it. The next shell had already hit the bunker, and the shrapnel flew everywhere. The leading officer was the first to feel it, and his whole body was almost turned into honeycomb coal.
It was impossible for the remaining people to escape. The falling bricks and cement blocks had already blocked the door at the back, and the next shells would crush them all to pieces.
The originally sturdy bunker has now become their coffin.
As for the firepower points on the ground, there was no need for them to clear them out. They had already been blown to pieces by the first round of artillery fire. When Tang Guoping led his men in, there were still some sporadic resistances everywhere, but they could not cause much damage to us. We only needed a round of heavy machine gun fire to eliminate these dangers.
There were more than 2,000 soldiers in the military camp outside the city, and more than 500 of them were injured at this moment, and the rest were basically killed.
Only a dozen of our men died, and a dozen were seriously injured.
Of course, the consumption of weapons on our side is also quite high. The shells and bullets on each vehicle have been almost used up, and a large amount of replenishment will be needed in the future.
Li Shaoyi was left alone at this moment. He originally thought that when the military camp outside the city was attacked, the army inside the city would definitely go out to support. Even if you are scared and unwilling to support your colleagues, it is human nature to send a few people out to take a look.
But unfortunately, no one came out. The dilapidated city gate was tightly closed. There were still some Japanese soldiers on the city wall, but no one even fired a shot.
After entering the basement, the only order that Ryohei Nomura gave was to order each unit to defend their positions and no one could leave without his permission.
After the war began, many people below him wanted to report to him, but unfortunately, the phone line in the basement had been blown down, and this guy didn't send anyone out to repair it. He was afraid that once the basement door was opened, many people outside would rush in. As a result, no one came out of the city to help the military camp outside the city...
