Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1462 Breakthrough
Major Fukada watched with satisfaction as the "Tiger" chariot destroyed the Eighth Route Army's "Shermans" one after another. Occasionally, the "Tiger" would shoot one or two grenades into the Eighth Route Army's half-track vehicles, exploding The shells immediately overturned the half-track vehicles to the ground one by one.

"The battle can be over!" Major Fukada proudly said to the staff: "The rest is not fighting, but massacre!"

Speaking of this, Major Fukada picked up the radio microphone and said to the tank crew: "Enjoy yourself, shoot out all your shells, and let them experience the power of our 'Tiger' squadron!"

The crazy laughter of the chariot soldiers came from the radio.

However, at this moment, there was a whistling sound of shells in the sky.

Major Fukada's face changed, and he immediately picked up the microphone that he was about to put down and shouted, "Go ahead..."

But it was too late, the shells exploded in the group of chariots with a "booming" sound, and the chariots were immediately surrounded by flames and smoke.

Before the chariot had time to react, another shell roared in...

In the end, Shao Zuo Fukada only saw three "Tigers" driving out of the smoke, and the life and death of the other three were unknown.

The shells of the howitzer may not be able to penetrate the armor of the tank, but the absolute killing radius of the 30MM caliber shells of the M122 is 20 meters, that is, within 20 meters, only the vibration can kill people.

However, this absolute killing radius is not the case for tanks.

The reason is that the tank has a suspension system, and the vibration energy is transmitted from the ground to the tank through the track, road wheels, etc., and then to the human body, which has been weakened layer by layer, so this absolute radius has basically no effect on the tank soldiers in the tank.

However, what if the tank is hit directly by a 122MM howitzer?

Not to mention whether the tank crew will be killed by the shock, with the failure rate of the "Tiger Type"...it would be a miracle if it can still start after such a shock.

The truth is that most of the tank crew was killed.

The reason why I say "probably" is because there is a spring device where the tank crew sits, which can play a certain buffering role.

However, due to the limited internal space of the tank and the steel surrounding the occupants, when a grenade hits the armor or the chin hits the handle of the machine gun, the gunner is the most miserable. They are aiming at the target with their eyes on the periscope. There are not a few people who are blind.

Therefore, the Devils tank soldiers were killed or wounded under this round of shelling, and even in the three "Tigers" that escaped smoothly, a considerable number of tank soldiers were injured.

Then the devils fell into another dilemma: how should they fight?

Aiming at the main force of the Eighth Route Army?

This means that another round of shelling is likely to be suffered!
Into the city to attack the artillery?
Then give up the enemy's main force!

Shao Zuo Fukada was unwilling to let the victory within easy reach slip away from him like this. Angrily, he ordered Shao Zuo Kawara, who was in charge of commanding the infantry, "Kawahara-kun, order your troops to destroy those artillery!"

"Yes!" Major He Yuan didn't hesitate, and with a wave of his hand, he led the troops back into the city and rushed towards the Eighth Route Army's artillery position.

However, both Fukada and Heyuan thought the Eighth Route Army was easy.

It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to allow the artillery to fight alone in the city. Zhang Dabiao's first battalion has temporarily changed its combat target to take on the task of protecting the artillery.

This is one of the reasons why the Independent Regiment is called an elite force.

All the battalion commanders and even the company commanders of the independent regiment can stand alone. They will not die waiting for orders on the battlefield... If they can only follow orders, then they are not a commander but a combat machine.

The commanders of the independent regiment have their own ideas and subjective initiative. They know how to fight in the best interests of the main force at critical times, even if they sometimes need to sacrifice themselves...

For example, at this time, the artillery returned to the city to fight again, which meant that they gave up the opportunity to break through.

Artillery is the unit with the least mobility and the largest and most vulnerable targets. They are usually on the second line away from the front line.

If they followed the order, after they successfully suppressed the Devil's [-]st Tank Regiment, they would have to follow the main force to break out of the encirclement.

That was their only chance to break through.

But they chose to return to the city to deploy artillery to continue fighting!

After the war, when Li Yunlong talked about this battle, he would always sigh: "We all owe our lives to the Artillery Battalion!"

"Boom" is another burst of cannonballs, and the shells can always accurately cover the "Tiger" tanks of the devils, so that they dare not stop to aim.

Or even if you stop to aim and shoot, you will move immediately after firing a shot in a hurry.

This makes the devil's "tiger style" very passive, so that there is not much difference between having them and not having them.

However, the troops led by Shaozuo Kawara to attack the artillery were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. Soon Shaozuo Kawara sent someone to ask Fukada for reinforcements: "Your Excellency, Shaozuo, we need the 'tiger style' cover to break through the enemy's line of defense!"

At this moment, Fukada realized that it was impossible to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

But what else could Fukada do?

It is meaningless for the "Tiger" to continue to fight like this. They are running for their lives to avoid enemy shells, which is of no help to the battlefield.

Now there is only one choice, and that is to transfer the "Tiger" back to deal with those artillery first!
So Fukada gritted his teeth and ordered all "Tiger Types", including the two vehicles coming from behind, to turn to the artillery of the Eighth Route Army in the city.

Only then did Fang Junyang secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

If the devils "tiger style" don't turn around and go back to the city, something bad will happen... Now that the war has been fought, there are not many M30 shells left. As long as the devils persist for a while, they will find that they can do whatever they want.

At this time, seeing that the devils "tiger style" had been successfully transferred into the city, Fang Junyang ordered: "Comrades, shoot out all the shells, and then blow up the cannons and the radar. It will never be difficult for them to fall into the hands of the devils!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded one by one, firing the last batch of shells as quickly as possible.

Then, what should come will come after all.

With Fang Junyang's order, the artillerymen ignited the fuse of the explosive package placed under the artillery and radar, and many artillerymen had tears in their eyes... For artillerymen, artillery is their second life, They are the most reliable partners on the battlefield. They have built countless feats together, but at this time they want to blow them up with their own hands.

With a loud bang, the cannons were blown to pieces, and the gun detection radar with increased charge was broken into parts, and fragments flew all over the ground.

Fang Junyang took one last look at the messy artillery positions, and ordered: "Everyone is there, break out!"

However, infantry breakouts were easy because they had half-tracks, repeating rifles and were well trained.

Artillery is more of a car, holding a [-] cover in his hand, and the training he usually receives is not combat but artillery...
