Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 274 Independent Battalion Crisis, Arrogant Devil Tank

Independent battalion forward command post.

Wang Chengzhu watched the devil's offensive being successfully contained by Erlian, but he didn't show the same happy expression as Xu Hailang, Tian Shuisheng and others on his face.

Instead, he ordered with a calm face: "Old Xu, immediately send me an order to make the second company prepare for artillery defense!"

"Especially those 3 heavy machine guns, stop attacking immediately, and change positions immediately!"

"Yes! Battalion Commander!"

Xu Hailang was also clear about it. After he promised, he immediately put away the smile on his face, then left the command post, and ran quickly along the traffic trench towards the front position.

The Japanese bombing just now broke the telephone line from the forward position to the command post, and it has not been connected yet, so it can only be sent by people.

Ten minutes later, Xu Hailang left and returned.

Almost as soon as one of Xu Hailang's feet stepped into the forward command post, there were bursts of violent explosions from the forward position.

Xu Hailang turned his head to look at the front position that was blown up in flames, then turned his head again, and said with admiration: "Battle Commander, you are really amazing!"

Wang Chengzhu was not happy because of his clever calculations, because as a group performer with rich experience in anti-Japanese war dramas, he knew the Japanese army's offensive methods well.

Especially after crossing over, combined with actual combat experience and learning, this is even more confirmed.

The devil's attack method is actually quite simple.

Facing Xu Hai's flattery, Wang Chengzhu said solemnly: "The same loss, the little devil will definitely not suffer twice.

The attack just now was because the devil's artillery and infantry did not cooperate to fight. Next, they will definitely learn a lesson and launch a coordinated attack on our army's position! "

"So, it will be a tough battle!"

"With the combat power of the second company, it will definitely not be able to stop the onslaught of the Japanese army. The third company and the fourth company are ready to join the battle at any time!
Once the second company suffers heavy casualties, or is unable to suppress the devil's attack, you must go up immediately! "

"Yes!"

Chen Xi, commander of the third company, and Wang Dali, the commander of the fourth company, straightened up and agreed.

……

This time the devil's shelling did not last too long, and it stopped in less than 10 minutes.

The soldiers of the second company also got out of the bunker immediately.

Only this time, everyone lost their previous composure, replaced by palpitations.

Because through the smoke of the battlefield, it can be clearly seen that at least 5 tanks are rolling towards their positions.

The roar of the engine, as if a heavy hammer was hitting their hearts, made them nervous and scared for a while.

tank!

Whether it is a veteran who has seen a tank or a recruit who has never seen a tank, they all know the horror of this pile of iron towers.

Veterans know how scary and difficult tanks can be, while recruits are mostly terrified of unknown equipment.

Although the Devil's Type [-] light tank, compared to the tanks of military powers such as the United States and the Soviet Union, is completely a small bean, not in the same order of magnitude at all.

But for the Eighth Route Army, which is seriously lacking in anti-tank equipment, these bean diced tanks are still a lethal enough weapon.

At least, neither the sniper rifles in the hands of the Spikes nor the three heavy machine guns could penetrate the frontal armor of the Devil's Type 3 light tank.

With the cover of tanks, the devil infantry seemed a little unscrupulous, and rushed forward again in a dense formation.

"Hit! Give me a hard hit!"

The second company commander Tian Shuisheng decisively gave the order to fire and pulled the trigger first.

Hearing the sound of gunfire, the Eighth Route Army soldiers of the Second Company also opened fire one after another.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

"Da da da!"

"Crack, clap clap clap!—"

The gunfire rang out, and the dense bullets immediately swept towards the attacking army of devils who were on the rampage.

Regrettably, although Erlian's offensive was still fierce, it failed to achieve the same effect as last time.

Except for a few devil soldiers who didn't have time to dodge and were hit by the rain of bullets, the rest of the devil turned around and hid behind the tank the moment the gunshot sounded.

In this way, the bullet either hit the open space or hit the frontal armor of the tank.

Apart from splashing clusters of sparks on the armor and leaving some white spots, it didn't cause even a little damage to the Devil Tank.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the second company were even more frightened, and then continued to act as if they did not give up, pouring all the bullets at the devil's tank to cover it.

It was still like scratching an itch, without hurting Devil Tank at all.

At this time, the Devil tank rushing ahead quickly spotted one of the heavy machine guns of the second company, and then turned the turret, and the black muzzle of the 37mm main gun quickly locked on the heavy machine gun position.

Then, without waiting for the machine gunner to react, there was a flash of red light, and the energy bullet was released quickly at a speed of more than 700m/s.

About a second later, the heavy machine gun position burst into a dazzling red light.

"Boom!"

In the midst of the explosion, the main shooter and deputy shooter of the second company, as well as the ammunition man next to him, were blown out with their guns. They died on the spot without even leaving a last word...

Masao Nishiyama in the rear was standing on a slope, watching the attack the whole time.

When they saw their own tanks, they rushed towards the independent battalion unstoppably like a god of war, and easily destroyed a machine gun position of the independent battalion.

A cold smile suddenly appeared on the old devil's face that had been gloomy all this time.

He seemed to have seen the scene where the soldiers of the Independence Battalion panicked and lost their morale.

In fact, as Masao Nishiyama had expected, the morale of the soldiers of the Second Company was hit to varying degrees when they saw that their own fierce firepower could not hurt the Devils tank at all.

When he saw the devil tank for the first time, Wang Chengzhu realized that the situation was wrong, and he immediately led Wei Monk and others along the traffic trench to the forward position.

He knew that his heavy machine guns were dead targets when facing Devil tanks, so he wanted to remind the machine gunners not to expose them.

But it was still a step late.

When he arrived at the forward position, he happened to see the second heavy machine gun of the second company destroyed.

"Damn it!" Wang Chengzhu cursed angrily, and then ordered the No.3 machine gunner to cease fire immediately and move his position immediately.

"Boom!"

Almost as soon as the soldiers of the machine gun team left, a red light bloomed on the original position.

When Tian Shuisheng, the second company commander, heard of Wang Chengzhu's arrival, he immediately greeted him with a bent waist: "Battalion Commander, brothers have nothing to do with the devil's iron bastard. What should we do now?"

Tian Shuisheng had a dejected look on his face. This was the first time since he joined the artillery platoon.
