My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 518

In the early morning... the wilderness was filled with bursts of gunpowder smoke, constantly drifting among the woods and bushes, not even a single bird chirping, and the silence was terrifying.

Suddenly, a khaki figure appeared in the scope and flashed in the bushes. After a while, two identical figures approached the former from the nearby woods.

"boom!"

The gunner in the Greyhound armored vehicle opened fire without hesitation, and the 37mm tank gun hit the bush with a whoosh, and the mud and woods flying all over the sky were mixed with a little flesh and blood.

"Master Dao, it's not a bad fight!"

"This should be the 22nd one, right?"

"Nonsense, at least three of them were reimbursed for the one shot just now. It's not a boast that every shot must hit."

The other companions in the armored vehicle praised him excitedly, but the gunner remained silent. The goatee on his mouth trembled slightly, and he reloaded the cannonball again while chanting Wuliang Tianzun.

"Don't be dazed, move quickly!"

From the binoculars, the captain could clearly see the mutilated corpses of the three little devils lying motionless on the ground. He probably saw the dawn and wanted to touch them to investigate the situation.

The driver didn't dare to be careless, and immediately started the car and shifted to the side, hiding behind a dirt wall.

In less than 2 minutes, the devil's shelling came as planned. A few rounds of the [-] infantry artillery shells slammed into the position where the shells had just been fired, and the people in the car could even feel the slight vibration of the ground.

"Damn it, the little devil really can't afford it!"

The commander got into the car cursing and closed the roof, counting them here... The third tank battalion now has two Greyhound armored vehicles and one 75mm anti-tank destroyer, and the rear of the destroyer There is also a problem with the track, and it is basically impossible to move.

After venting a wave of anger, the little devil didn't continue to waste ammunition, and the battlefield became silent again, but it seemed that a bigger crisis was brewing under this calm.

Qiu Changfu, the commander of the third battalion of chariots, immediately arranged for manpower to lay out the minefield and build a defensive position.

This is a small village surrounded by mountains on both sides. There is an open field in front of it, and there is a steep mountain wall behind it. They evacuated here last night in the dark, and the remaining twelve heavy trucks of the transport group were parked in the village.

Perhaps it was the defeat of several consecutive positional battles that made the Japanese army learn a little bit smarter. Before Ren'an Qiang was besieged, the Japanese sent out this mobile force, trying to sneak around and attack the rear, so as to disrupt the enemy's main force. Attack, this time they really gave them a chance.

If the entire convoy of the transportation regiment hadn't been stretched very long, the entire army might have been wiped out under a wave of attacks. Now the few remnants can only hide in this mountain village to preserve some of their supplies and wait for their own support as much as possible.

Now they are surrounded by the Japanese army, and the remaining 500 of them have already become vulnerable, so the little devils are not in a hurry to attack, and teased them like a cat catching a mouse.

"Battle Commander Qiu, the mines have been buried, and I have asked them to make a lot of explosives. How are we going to fight them next?"

Bian Hua, the head of the transportation regiment, is a middle-aged grey-haired officer. Although his position is the commander of a regiment, his military rank is the same as that of Qiu Changfu, a lieutenant colonel, and he obeys the latter.

"Do you have any guns over there?"

"No, you know that this trip is mainly light weapons and ammunition supplies, and the only heavy equipment is those 105 howitzers, but haven't they all been blown up?" Bian Hua truthfully explained road.

"Hey... leave 200 people as a reserve team, and divide the rest into two groups. Let them set up a defensive line at the west end of the village. Don't get together. Keep the machine gun positions a little bit apart. When the devils come up, try to kill the enemy at a medium and long distance. You can't let the small The devil is close."

Qiu Changfu is making serious arrangements. Right now, all the logistics transport soldiers have taken up weapons and joined the defense. Although there are not many in number, they have no shortage of weapons and equipment here. The ammunition and various firearms in the dozen or so cars are enough for a regiment armed.

It's just a pity that because those heavy artillery could not be moved quickly, in order to avoid falling into the enemy's hands, they had to reluctantly blow up all of them last night, otherwise they could still blast him right now.

Moreover, the transportation troops are after all a logistics force with little combat experience. To put it bluntly, most of them are the old, weak, sick and disabled who have been eliminated from the frontline troops. Many people have weak legs.

Seeming to see the other party's worries, the transportation team leader lined up his chest solemnly and assured: "Chou Battalion Commander, don't worry, we gangsters have nothing to say, but it's time for life and death, and those boys know that if they don't work hard, they will die." You have to die, no matter how you say it, you will not fall into the prestige of our 88th Army."

"I hope so."

This is not the only thing that Qiu Changfu is worried about. There are at least 2000 devils outside the encirclement, and they are equipped with a lot of infantry artillery. Even a fully armed infantry battalion is here.

The telegram for help has been sent, and the troops closest to them are the armored brigade and the third main force of the third division that are attacking Ren'anqiang, but it will take two days to rush over from there, and the devils are very aggressive. Maybe an ambush was set up halfway to help, maybe even after they were all killed, the support might not be able to arrive.

Do your best and obey the destiny, Qiu Changfu thought silently, if he knew it would lead to the current situation, he would stop the chief of staff from taking the troops away if he said anything in Meiktila.

call out…

"Battalion Commander, be careful!"

The guard next to him threw Qiu Changfu, who was still thinking wildly, to the ground. After a while, the Japanese shells began to explode all around. preservation.

The sound of explosions kept ringing in their ears, and the soldiers of the transport regiment could only cover their ears and hide in various dug foxholes to avoid all this.

"総出撃する!"

The Japanese army would not give them more time to breathe. Under the leadership of sergeants holding samurai swords, countless little devils rushed forward shouting and holding rifles.

The battle last night clearly showed that the Huaxia people they met were only second-rate troops of the enemy. In their eyes, even if the opponent had built a defensive position, the small village in front of them was just a short walk. It will be flat, there is no difficulty at all.

The devil's artillery fire didn't last long, and a fast-moving unit like them couldn't carry too much ammunition, so it was even more impossible to let go of the fire suppression. A few infantry cannons with a strong momentum were almost enough No, don't expect to kill many enemies.

The Japanese soldiers who entered the range immediately set up the firepower of their machine guns and fired at the village with full firepower. The little devil who was buried in the charge was very fast, and he rushed to within 200 meters of the village in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the defensive troops seemed to be stunned. Except for the two Greyhound armored vehicles that were firing, no one else had any decent reaction.

"Fire, idiot! What the hell are you doing!"

The officers hurriedly commanded their soldiers to start a counterattack. For a while, there was loud gunshots on the battlefield, and countless bullets flew towards the oncoming little devil.

Although their marksmanship is not very good, they can win by measurement. There is almost no cover within the distance of 200 meters, and the intensive firepower has taken away the lives of little devils one after another.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, the devil commander didn't care about the shells any more, he pulled up the [-] infantry gun and fired at the opposite side for a while, covering the assault troops approaching the opponent's position.

Most veterans on the battlefield will judge the approximate impact point when they hear the sound of the shells coming. If it is on their own heads, they will immediately seek cover. As long as it is not a large-caliber heavy artillery and dodges in time, generally nothing will happen.

However, the inexperienced soldiers of the transport regiment did not have these skills. Due to the lack of anti-gun awareness, the falling shells caused considerable casualties to the soldiers, and several machine gun positions that had not been transferred in time were blown to pieces on the spot.

The firepower on the position suddenly leaked, and the Japanese army took the opportunity to organize a new round of charge. Because there were too many of them, the leading troops rushed into the front 30 meters of the position after a while.

boom!boom!boom……

I thought I could break through the enemy's defense line in one go, but unexpectedly, the opponent planted many S-shaped landmines in the front of the position. The little devil stepped on it, and a dozen "Bouncing Betty" flew into the air and exploded in the devil team. bloomed.

Those thousands of steel balls were penetrating through the little devil's body at an initial velocity of 300 meters per second. The killing range of each jumping mine reached 20 meters, and there was no dead angle in 360 degrees.

In the blink of an eye... the Japanese soldiers who stepped into the death trap all fell to the ground in pain holding their thighs, and some unlucky ones even cut off the roots of their descendants. The pain was so painful that they were desperate...

"Pay attention to the rushing from the right!"

"Don't let the devil get close!"

"Master Dao, quickly destroy the firepower point in front!"

The two Greyhound armored vehicles were fully fired, constantly harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers, and the gunner they called "Dao Ye" was even more terrifying.Unshelling, reloading, and firing... the action is done in one go, and the speed in his hands is as fast as a clockwork. The 37mm tank gun makes him play like a sniper rifle. He can take away several with one shot, which is very efficient. scary.

The destroyer vehicle behind that couldn't move was also firing non-stop. Although the gun barrel couldn't shoot curvedly, it could still pour firepower to the rear of the Japanese army at the maximum elevation angle. OK.

It is difficult to maintain the continuity of the attack in the face of huge casualties, and the devils have to temporarily choose to retreat. The enemy is not as weak as they think.

The Japanese commander's face was covered with frost, and he stared coldly at the two armored vehicles that had just started killing in the battle. These two iron guys used the wall as cover to advance and retreat, like two big mountains Stuck at the threshold of their own charge, at least [-]% of the casualties of the troops were caused by them.

It seems that only by finding a way to destroy it first can we have a chance to break into this small village...
