my bright sword career

Chapter 100 Reasons
Even though that was the case, no one would be willing to die unless it was absolutely necessary.

While the three of them were talking, they poked their heads out of the crater from time to time, quickly swept the bullets, and then lowered their heads. The time for each time to show their heads would not exceed two seconds, but even so, it was still dangerous, and even the commander's wrist was shot A bullet grazed and was almost interrupted.

"Da da da……"

After firing a magazine, the captain habitually stretched his hand to his lower back, but found nothing. He turned his head and said, "Whoever of you still has bullets, throw a magazine over here."

Xiao Qiang and the driver shook their heads in unison. They are not infantry, what are they doing with so many magazines on their bodies.

But then the driver took out something: "I still have this one."

The two of them saw that it was an M39 oval grenade, commonly known as a hand grenade.

There are two main types of throwing weapons equipped by the militia today, the M24 long-handled grenade and the M39 grenade.

Although the M24 grenade is relatively long and difficult to carry, it has become the first choice for infantry due to its large charge, high power and long throwing distance.

The M39 grenade is not easy to carry because it is round and not as powerful as the M24 grenade, so few people are willing to carry it. However, this kind of thing that the infantry disdains to carry is very popular with the armored soldiers. After all, it is easy to carry and put it in the tank. It does not take up space, so armored soldiers like to put a few in the tank as self-defense weapons.

The three of them only had one grenade, and the driver smiled wryly, "Brothers, it seems that the three of us can't get through this hurdle today. Come on, you plan to throw this grenade out, and blow up another one before you die. What about the two devils, or keep this grenade for yourself?"

"Damn, I'm really not reconciled."

Xiao Qiang smacked his mouth a little unwillingly.

"I'm not married yet, but I've written my parents' names in my will before I came here. If I die, they can enjoy their old age comfortably with those pensions."

The driver also sighed, "Forget it, let's keep this grenade for ourselves, otherwise if it falls into the hands of the devil, the three of us will hardly want to die. Xiao Zhuang has already taken a step ahead, now our brothers Let's go see him too."

The captain nodded, "Okay, you all come closer, the three of us are lucky to be able to fight together in the same tank and die together in this lifetime."

Xiao Qiang endured the pain and leaned over. Seeing that the three of them were leaning together, the driver was about to unlatch the grenade when he heard a familiar sound of metal rubbing next to him, followed by a Bobcat scout tank rushing towards him. In front of the crater, it happened to be between them and the Japanese army.

Not only that, but the machine gun on the turret began to ring before the car stopped.

山猫坦克搭载的是38型20毫米55倍径加农坦克炮，这种机炮的射速达到每分钟420～480发，并安装了TZF6型光学瞄准镜，对于目标的捕捉非常迅速。

"Dong dong dong dong..."

A rapid and low voice sounded, and a burst of shells shot out of the turret like lightning, and landed on the Japanese gun position. Accompanied by bursts of explosions, the heavy machine gun that had originally crushed the three of Xiao Qiang out of breath Fly to the west in an instant.

The machine gun then fine-tuned the muzzle and aimed at the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who were pressing towards Xiao Qiang.The three leading Japanese soldiers were beaten to pieces on the spot, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers could only lay down on the ground without even daring to lift their heads.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiang must have been saved. The three of them lay powerlessly in the crater, with smiles showing their lives after the catastrophe...

"Hello...Xiao Zhankui, what's the current battle situation?
What... How many tanks have been blown up and injured by Japanese suicide attacks?Afraid of losing too much, plan to slow down the offensive?

Let me tell you, don't worry about the loss of tanks. I just want you to end the battle as soon as possible. If the tank is gone, we can buy it again. What you have to do is to eat up the Japanese in front of you as soon as possible. I will assign the artillery battalion and armor battalion to You didn't make them vegetarian, if you can't do this job, I'll replace it with a capable one! "

"After finishing speaking, Gao Hongming hung up the phone with a snap."

Looking at Gao Hongming with sullen face, the staff officers around him dared not speak, and all of them acted lightly.

Gao Hongming sat on the cannonball box, lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.

The current situation is that most of the Japanese troops in Ping'an City have been lost, and the remaining few hundred people can only huddle in a few streets in the center of the county town. If there were no other plans, Gao Hongming would have taken them down long ago.

Therefore, Gao Hongming's real plan now is to use the Japanese army in the county as bait, transfer the surrounding Japanese army over, and come to a surrounding area to fight for reinforcements. Not very good.

First of all, he had to admit that the Japanese army was really not bad in the field.

Although the Japanese army on the opposite side was only a second-rate division, they had a great spirit of sacrifice during the battle. Faced with the cooperation of the militias, they continued to organize teams to come forward and launch suicide attacks.

Within half an hour of the battle, two Lynx tanks and a Panzer IV tank had been destroyed or damaged.

Secondly, the cooperation between the various units is not skilled.

Not to mention the cooperation between infantry and tanks, it was not bad during the training, but it was exposed when it got real. Either the tank was too fast or the infantry was too slow, or the tank only focused on attacking and threw the infantry behind far away. That's how the damaged tanks came about.

The problem of infantry coordination is even greater.

The long-legged Tom equipped by the [-]st Battalion of the Cannon is of course powerful, but this also causes problems.

The Tom Long-Legs self-propelled artillery is equipped with an M1A1 155mm cannon. The shells fired alone weigh 43.1 kilograms. After the explosion, there are no humans or animals within a radius of tens of meters.

It's okay when the artillery is ready, but once the infantry coordination is carried out, the problem will come.

The huge power of the artillery made the artillerymen be careful when firing the artillery, lest they accidentally hit their own people.

This is true for artillery, let alone infantry.It's fine to die by the devil's gun, but what's the matter if you are killed by your own artillery fire?

According to the requirements of the combat outline, the infantry should only charge at a distance of about 100 meters from the shell's impact point, so that they can rush to the enemy's position and destroy them before the enemy can react.

But now the artillery business is still a bit boomy, and from time to time, shells will miss, causing several accidental injuries. After that, the infantry commander was so angry that he cursed on the walkie-talkie.

In this way, the infantry behind did not dare to charge close to the explosion point of the shells. Not only did the self-propelled artillery fail to exert its power, but it caused a psychological shadow on the infantry, which was also the reason for the slow progress of the troops.
