Chapter 228: Fighting to the Death
Just as Captain Uehara was asking the question, the 20mm gun on the armored vehicle in the distance had already started firing.
A large number of artillery pieces rushed over directly, and many shells exploded in mid-air. This type of artillery can attack aircraft from the air, but when attacking ground targets, they forgot to adjust the explosion time of the shells.
But this was just right. When many shells exploded above the camp, they turned into many fragments. The Korean soldiers had nowhere to hide. They watched the shells explode in the air in front of them, and then they were pierced into honeycomb coal.
At the very edge of the camp, some soldiers had brought some obstructions, but unfortunately they were knocked away by heavy armored vehicles. Two soldiers were unable to dodge and were crushed to death by the armored vehicles.
The six firing holes around the armored vehicle were opened instantly, and the soldiers inside began to slaughter the Korean soldiers outside with submachine guns.
When the armored vehicles drove past, in addition to the firepower of the armored vehicles themselves, these six firing holes killed the most soldiers. Many Korean soldiers were crowded together and didn't quite understand what was happening, so a volley of bullets could be expected to kill at least seven or eight people.
"Speed up."
Zhao Shengwen said loudly that some Korean soldiers had come to their senses and started attacking them with grenades. If they were using bullets, we would have nothing to be afraid of because the shells would be able to withstand it. But if they were using grenades, they would be able to withstand it for a while, but not for a long time.
"Use the hand grenade."
Captain Uehara realized that using firearms was useless unless he used the Type 92 heavy machine gun. However, the Type 92 heavy machine gun was not assembled during the march. By the time he finished assembling it, the enemy's armored vehicles had disappeared.
The infantry gun is also in a state of disarray, so the most useful weapon now is the grenade.
After hundreds of people died, these people finally understood what weapons were useful. They quickly gathered what they had and threw grenades at the armored vehicles. Unfortunately, the armored vehicles were moving too fast. When you aimed at an armored vehicle, the grenade had already run far away when you threw it, and it might even hit one of your own people.
"Organize a death charge."
Captain Uehara pulled out his gun. His men certainly understood what a death charge meant. Although they were extremely dissatisfied, they still pulled out the usually annoying soldier, hung seven or eight grenades on this guy's body, and then let him rush towards the armored vehicle in the distance.
"You guys should go too..."
We can't care about anything else at this time. Even if you are the combat staff of the detachment, you have to rush up with grenades now, otherwise these armored vehicles will cause us too many casualties. Only fifteen minutes after the battle started, they have penetrated the entire team. The casualties on our side have exceeded four hundred.
Under the order of Captain Uehara, more than a dozen Korean soldiers with grenades strapped to their bodies began to move towards the armored vehicles. Unfortunately, the soldiers in the shooting holes of the armored vehicles were not fools either. They had enough time to kill them with submachine guns.
As for the 20mm machine guns on the armored vehicles, they just fired at the crowd. With one shell, there was no telling how many people could be killed. It was so exciting.
"Liu Liang, be careful."
Zhao Shengwen saw through the rear glass that two Japanese soldiers walked around, their bodies full of grenades, and rushed towards a light armored vehicle at the back of the convoy.
Zhao Shengwen's reminder was of no use. The armored vehicle turned into a fireball. The light armored vehicle could not withstand such an explosion at all. This was also the first loss since the war began.
However, Zhao Shengwen no longer had the chance to think about his comrades. The Japanese got a large number of stones from somewhere and threw them under the advancing armored vehicles. Two heavy armored vehicles also stopped.
Then several soldiers with grenades hanging all over their bodies rushed forward. Although the heavy armored vehicle had thicker defenses, it was quickly blown apart under such an attack.
"Retreat to the periphery and speed up."
Zhao Shengwen immediately issued a new order. He originally wanted to form a big circle and then continuously annihilate the enemy, but this was no longer possible. These Korean soldiers found a way to fight back. Although this confrontation would cost them their lives, in the eyes of Captain Uehara, even if they exchanged thirty Korean soldiers for an armored vehicle, they would still make a profit.
"Yoshi! Keep organizing people to charge upwards."
Seeing that his method was very useful, Captain Uehara waved his hand and fifty soldiers were directly converted into human bombs.
There was a Japanese officer behind them pointing a gun at them. If these Korean soldiers did not charge forward, he would shoot them in the forehead, take off the grenades from their bodies, and let other Korean soldiers continue to charge forward.
Zhao Shengwen also felt it. He had thought that it would be very easy to resolve the battle by charging with armored vehicles. Now it seemed that it was simply impossible for more than 20 armored vehicles to deal with these 4,000 people.
Fortunately, Captain Zhao issued the retreat order relatively early. If it had been ten minutes later, these armored vehicles would probably not have been able to rush out. Although it caused considerable casualties to the Japanese, only twelve of the twenty armored vehicles rushed out, and the remaining eight were left behind.
It was at this time that the support troops finally arrived and the mortar positions were set up. A large number of shells poured down on the pursuing troops, driving them back.
"All vehicles are circling around. Just don't let them break out. Keep firing and order the transport troops to speed up."
Li Shaoyi also arrived at the vicinity of the battlefield at this moment. Dozens of armored vehicles quickly joined the battle. They surrounded the Japanese in a circle. Anyone who tried to rush out would be beaten back, and their activity space was compressed as much as possible. The artillery on the periphery began to pour towards the center.
However, the artillerymen looked back and saw that the trucks carrying supplies to them had not arrived yet. The artillery in their hands could only last for five minutes, and they would have no more shells after five minutes.
Li Shaoyi was thinking about whether to cheat, so he asked two instructors to drive a truck over. However, if he was discovered in front of so many people, it would be difficult to justify himself.
Just when Li Shaoyi was worried, more than 20 Japanese soldiers, with grenades hanging all over their bodies, began to charge outwards. Two armored vehicles were blown up again. These Japanese should not expect to rush out in this way...
