Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 634 Sacrifice
Haraguchi Zhijiang's mentality collapsed within a few minutes...

Minutes on the battlefield can sometimes mean centuries to a commander.

Because for Tomoe Haraguchi, this is a process from hope to disappointment and then to despair.

Originally placed hope on the imperial army, thinking that using infantry against enemy infantry would be a good solution, so that the battle could still be saved.

But it was soon discovered that the infantry did nothing about it. They all stayed in the fortifications and watched the Imperial tanks being destroyed. If they did anything, they used their rifles to shoot blindly at the houses across the street.

However, these shots obviously had no effect, and the "sprayed bullets" were still shot out of the darkness one after another.

What drove Haraguchi into despair was that the enemy had discovered the main force of the chariot regiment... eight chariots hidden behind the corner of the street.

At this time, even if the imperial soldiers came up for reinforcements, it would be too late. Once the eight chariots were destroyed or more than half of them were killed or injured, Haraguchi would have nothing to fight against the enemy.

then……

"I can't wait any longer!" Tomoe Haraguchi ordered: "Everyone, move forward at full speed! It's time to fight to the death!"

This is a helpless choice, because if we continue to wait like this, the result will be that the enemy's chariot has not even been seen, and he has already been beaten by the enemy's "sprayed bombs" and lost his combat effectiveness.

So I can only rush without thinking.

If you rush into the pile of enemy tanks and fight with them, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival.

The devil chariot soldiers responded, and then rushed towards the main street with full horsepower.

However, as I said before, in the street battle between tanks, the defensive side who stays still will definitely take advantage, because they are ready and waiting for the opponent to emerge, and not only one gun is aimed at the street.

Of course, the third company of the tank is ready, and even the armor-piercing shells have been loaded.

This does not require Wang Xuexin's order, the second platoon leader can also think of this: if the Devil Tank is cornered by the bazooka, of course it will choose to put all its eggs in one basket and do a trapped beast.

Sure enough, the situation of the battle was like this. Amidst the sound of "rumbling" motors, the shadow of a 97 Zhanhei emerged from the street.

The auxiliary vehicle next to the leader of the second platoon couldn't hold back for a while, and fired with a "boom" when only a third of its body came out.

The second platoon leader scolded in his heart: "This Xiong Shangmin is always frizzy. Don't you know that buildings can easily block the target? It's so close, we can penetrate its frontal armor, what's the hurry!"

Buildings are not only a problem of blocking the target. If the high-speed flying shell hits a foreign object on the way, it is easy to deviate from the trajectory.

Hitting the target armor with a deviated trajectory will not only weaken the power, but may also ricochet like hitting an inclined armor.

And the idea of ​​the second platoon leader is correct, the distance between the enemy and us is only more than 26 meters. At this distance, even the 45MM tank gun of the T97 can easily penetrate the frontal armor of the Devil's [-], so you should hold your breath and wait for the Devil to expose the area. It's never too late to shoot at the biggest moment... Anyway, the target is on the move, shooting in motion has almost no accuracy, and it's still in the dark, so who is afraid of whom?
That's what the second platoon leader did. He waited for the moment when the Ghost Tank's body was about to turn straight, and then there was a "boom", a shell hit the target, and the Devil Tank continued to drive forward for a certain distance until it ran into the The building next to it stopped.

Most of T26's armor-piercing projectiles are solid projectiles, which will not explode when they hit the target, but the armor fragments caused inside after piercing the armor will fly around like bullets, and will rebound in the tank cabin.

If the engine is not hit, it will often appear that the tank crew inside has died, but the tank is still moving.

The second platoon leader immediately judged that he had hit the target.

Because the turret of the enemy tank was also rotating and constantly adjusting the angle to aim at the second row of long tanks, but it stopped rotating after hitting.

The second platoon leader immediately loaded the armor-piercing projectile and adjusted the angle to wait for the next car.

At this time, at this moment, a Type 95 light tank suddenly sprang out, and its light and small body passed the shooting angle of the second row leader in the blink of an eye...

This should be intentional for the Type 95 light tank.

It knows that if the tanks go on like this, one by one, they will be killed by the enemy one by one.

Therefore, relying on the speed of the 95 light tank, it rushed out suddenly when the enemy had just destroyed the 97 medium tank and reloaded the ammunition.

This is a crisis for the Eighth Route Army.

Although the 95 light tank has insufficient firepower and limited defense, it is not a problem for the 37MM artillery to penetrate the side and rear armor of the T26 light tank in this close-range fighting situation.

More importantly, there are many infantrymen of the Eighth Route Army behind the T26, especially the commander Wang Xuexin is among them... If the light tank of the devil rushes in and grinds and shoots machine guns, the Eighth Route Army will soon be in chaos .

If the Eighth Route Army were in chaos, the Devil's 97 Zhongzhan would take this opportunity to rush across the street, and it would be unknown who would win the 97 Zhongzhan against T26.

The second platoon leader did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Rush up and block the intersection!"

It may sound like a normal order to others, but using your own tanks to block the intersection and block the enemy's way forward... Another meaning of this is to sacrifice yourself.

Because it is blocked at the intersection, it will also expose itself to the enemy's muzzle, and it is still side armor.

As soon as the tank in front moved, Wang Xuexin immediately realized what the second platoon leader was going to do. He hurriedly shouted to the radio: "Second platoon leader, stop! I order you, stop..."

But it was too late.

The T26 rushed up amidst the roar of the motor, and then collided with the Type 95 that was about to break into our formation with a "bang".

The second platoon leader even fired an armor-piercing shell at the last moment, which damaged an enemy tank that was hiding around the corner waiting for an opportunity.

However, because his tank was positioned too far forward, several enemy tanks at the corner of the street pointed their muzzles at it at the same time, and then there was a burst of "bang bang", and the T26 was blown into a ball of flames...

The armor-piercing projectiles used by the devils are armor-piercing blasting projectiles. This kind of armor-piercing projectile will explode inside the tank after penetrating it, often causing martyrdom.

"Second platoon leader!" Wang Xuexin finally called out on the radio, but immediately realized that the second platoon leader could no longer hear him.

At this time, the tanks of the second platoon had won a more favorable situation for the Eighth Route Army.

Because his T26 collided with the Type 95, plus a destroyed Type 97, three tanks blocked half of the street, leaving only half of the street that only allowed one tank to enter and exit.

However, this advantage was obtained by the second platoon leader at the expense of himself and the crew!
