My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 311 The Horn of the Counterattack

The 18 tanks of the Japanese chariot brigade were marching slowly in a row, followed by various wheeled vehicles and a large number of infantry. It was as if no one had passed through this open land.

Commanding the vehicle, Colonel Kato opened the top cover of the tank and leaned out half of his body. He confidently raised his head and looked proudly, enjoying the breeze blowing and the thrill of victory.

Those fleeing figures in front were getting closer and closer, which made Kato feel extremely comfortable as if he was in a hunt.

Along the way, there are scenes of Chinese soldiers "throwing away their helmets and armor". The supplies and ammunition boxes that were too late to take away are just left in place, and countless guns are abandoned halfway.

"Hmph, the Huaxia people are really vulnerable, Yikusuo! Grind these pigs into meat slag!"

Kato decisively ordered all the vehicles to speed up. He had just received an order from the head of the division. The headquarters of the Huaxia people was likely to be ahead, and these fleeing soldiers might lead them to find the target.

The 18 Type [-] and Type [-] tanks began to increase the throttle and speed up crazily. This unobstructed open space was designed as a slaughterhouse for them.

In a Type [-] tank, the driver stepped on the gas pedal and joked with his companion with great interest: "Shangshu, today's bet is not over yet, if I lose your pocket watch, it will be mine." Yes, haha!"

"Don't even think about it! Just wait and see, I can definitely kill 50 Chinese people." The machine gunner Shangshu retorted unconvinced.

He usually likes to brag about how good his marksmanship is, so today he made a bet with his skeptical companion that if he can shoot and kill more than 50 Chinese people with a machine gun, then his companion will lose two months of military pay to him, otherwise his father will be killed. The pocket watch left for him was lost to the other party.

"Yoxi, no matter who wins or loses, you have to buy us a drink."

"Dos, we are all witnesses, hahaha..."

The commander laughed out loud at their conversation, and joked with the other loader.

It seemed that life on the battlefield had become extraordinarily relaxed. It was as if they were on vacation when they came here, and they could kill all the enemies just by passing by.

"Okay, stop making trouble, there is a situation."

At this time, the commander leaned out of the roof of the car and observed through the binoculars that the semaphore soldiers on the command car simply waved the command flag a few times, which was an order to advance at full speed.

"The captain gave the order, the battle formation, move forward at full speed." The captain roared.

call out……

At this moment, there was a piercing scream in the sky, and five shells fell into the tank convoy in an instant!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Gah!?" The captain let out a strange cry, and hurriedly retracted his body into the car, and at the same time closed the top cover heavily.

The shock of the explosion was transmitted to the inside, and everyone felt the vehicle shaking violently. They didn't dare to be careless now, and stared at the front with all their energy.

"Baga! Where are the guns fired!?"

Kato looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Although this wave of shelling did not hit any vehicles, the huge crater was by no means the power that small-caliber mountain cannons could reach.

call out……

Before he could make any more moves, the deadly roar sounded again in the sky!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The shells struck again, this time it was not as simple as a few shells. There were waves of screams in the sky, and the dense barrage instantly engulfed the entire convoy.

The artillery regiment, which had been waiting for 4 days at the rear of the entire battlefield, finally began to show the enemy their terrifying firepower at this moment.

Twelve 155mm howitzers and 24 105mm howitzers fired in a salvo, and the terrible coverage area was daunting.

Instantly!Three or four unlucky Japanese tanks were blasted into a pile of scrap iron on the spot, and the wheeled tanks behind them were even more fragile. Even if they were not hit by shells, they would be overturned by the nearby explosion shock wave.

The Japanese tank convoy was the first to bear the brunt, and the people in the car could not hear any other sound except for the endless roar of explosions.

The armor that was originally solid and safe in the minds of the Japanese is like paper in front of large-caliber grenades. Facing this terrible firepower, even if all the vehicles are scattered, there will still be unlucky people who will be blown to pieces.

The kinetic energy of the end of the 155-caliber grenade is as high as 15 megajoules, which is greater than the muzzle kinetic energy of all anti-tank gun armor-piercing shells in this era. It is not difficult to hit any tank from any angle and destroy it.

This is still without considering the charge.No matter how strong the armor of the tank is, if it is blown up by a 155mm howitzer, only the shield and other relatively strong places will be left.
The situation is probably like a person holding a shield to block an 81mm mortar shell. The shield may still be there, but other parts including the person are gone.

However, as long as the thin-skinned Japanese tank is hit, even the basic shape will not be left, and the people and the car will be turned into a pile of debris. Even if they just pass by, it will cause great damage to the car body.

"Speed ​​up, speed up, you must escape!"

The frightened Kato yelled at the driver urgently, the current situation is completely risking their lives, and they can't make any resistance except to step on the accelerator to the end.

……

"Attention everyone, the direction remains the same, the elevation angle is increased by 3 degrees, and we continue to cover with full firepower!"

On the artillery regiment's position, Krupp, naked from the upper body, was grabbing the walkie-talkie and giving orders to each artillery unit.

Beads of sweat dripped down from his solid back. Almost all the artillerymen present looked like this. The high-intensity rapid shooting made everyone sweat, and the hot shell casings had piled up all over the floor.

Krupp did not continue to attack the enemy tanks. After all, howitzers are not anti-tank guns. The rate of fire and angle adjustment are much slower, and they are all curved ballistics. It is difficult to chase after the enemy after the first wave of strikes.

And his attack target is not only the enemy's armored units, but the infantry without cover behind him is his ultimate goal.

After going through a hellish test, the Japanese tank convoy finally rushed out of the range of the heavy artillery, but in that short period of seven or eight minutes, nine tanks and more than a dozen infantry vehicles were all destroyed by Krupp and the others.

The dilapidated remains behind were still burning, and the Japanese only survived with 3 Type 6s and [-] Type [-]s. Every Japanese soldier was terrified.

"Keep! Rush over and kill all those artillerymen!" Kato, who had suffered a lot, growled angrily, and no words could express his fear and fury at the moment.

"Big... Captain, there is a situation in the front left!"

"Nani?"

Kato quickly looked out through the observation mirror, and saw a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly appearing in front of them on the left. eye.

"That? What is that!?"

……

At this moment, the Gaoji man was half-standing steadily on an armored vehicle, his eyes were like those gnawing eagle eyes, fierce and full of murderous intent:
"Boys, let this group of idiots see what you are capable of, and give them a little quickness, and yell at them to death!"
