Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 280 Molotov cocktails made meritorious deeds, destroying devils and tank troops
Chen Xi said with a look of disbelief: "Battle Commander, are you going to use Molotov cocktails to deal with the little devil's tank? Will it work?"

It wasn't that Chen Xi didn't believe in Wang Chengzhu, but in Chen Xi's opinion, the lethality of Molotov cocktails was not as good as that of grenades, and even in open areas, they couldn't cause much harm to people.

Using this thing to deal with tanks is really unbelievable.

Whether Molotov cocktails can deal with tanks has been verified by history. Not to mention the devil's thin-skinned tanks, even the Soviet T34 medium tanks can only be turned into scrap iron in the end when faced with the attack of Molotov cocktails.

Therefore, Wang Chengzhu did not explain, and said directly: "Don't worry, just do as I say!"

"Yes!"

Although Chen Xi still had some doubts about the power of the Molotov cocktail, battalion commander Wang Chengzhu had said so, so he could only follow orders.

About 5 or 6 minutes later, a roar of motors reached the forward position of the Independence Battalion.

Hearing this sound, Chen Xi's heart tightened suddenly, because he knew what the hell it was coming from.

Sure enough, soon, a company of tanks pierced through the thick smoke and faintly appeared in Chen Xi's field of vision.

Then came the second, and the third...

Behind the tank, a large number of devil infantry followed.

50 meters!
It is still very difficult for the three-company bomber to throw the gasoline-filled Molotov cocktail so far.

However, the devil's infantry had to deal with it.

If they get too close, even if they lose their tanks, it will be very difficult for the third company to hold their positions.

So Wang Chengzhu decisively gave the order to fire, and took the lead in pulling the trigger: "Crack!"

The moment the gunshot rang out, a Devil machine gunner limp and lay on the edge of the tank roof.

The sound of the gun was an order, and the next moment, the soldiers of the third company straightened up from the trenches, and decisively pulled the trigger on the little devil not far in front of them.

"Thuk Thu! Da Da Da!"

"Crack, clap clap..."

Just like what Chen Xi said, smoke can't stop bullets. As soon as the gunfire rang out, the devil infantry who were exposed outside the bunker immediately fell down row by row.

The remaining devil infantry immediately turned their feet, hid behind the tank, and immediately pulled the trigger to fight back.

The armor of the Japanese Type 12 light tank is actually not thick, and the frontal armor is only 7.92mm, but it is more than enough to resist [-]mm caliber rifles or light machine gun bullets.

Bullets rained down on the shell of the tank, and all of them bounced off without exception.

Seeing this, the devil infantry hiding behind the tank became more and more arrogant.

Amidst the continuous clanging, the turret of a tank slowly turned, and then the 37mm caliber main gun was also pressed down, and the muzzle of the black hole was already aimed at the most powerful Czech light machine gun.

It has to be said that the quality of the Devils' tank soldiers is still quite good, and they quickly locked down the most threatening machine gunner from the chaotic battlefield.

However, the machine gunner of the third company seemed to have been prepared for a long time. Almost as soon as the muzzle of the devil tank turned around, he decisively picked up the machine gun and retracted into the trench.

By the time the kinetic energy cannon hit, he had already ran sideways along the trench for more than 10 meters.

"Throw Molotov cocktails!"

The firing of the soldiers of the third company did not stop the advance of the Devils Tank, and it advanced another 20 meters in a blink of an eye, and it was only 40 meters away from the front position of the Independent Battalion.

A bomber with slightly stronger arms could easily throw the Molotov cocktail so far.

Although, including the bombers of the third company, they doubted whether the Molotov cocktail could destroy the devil's tank, they would still strictly implement the order of the battalion commander Wang Chengzhu unconditionally.

Soon, more than 20 bombers quickly picked up the Molotov cocktails that were ready for sight, first struck a match to ignite the cotton core of the bottle mouth, then swung their arms round, and threw them at the tank not far ahead.

"Crack, crack..."

The target of the Devil Tank is too big, and its movements are very clumsy, it is impossible to avoid the attack of the Molotov cocktail.

Although many of the incendiary bottles were thrown crookedly and smashed directly on the ground, more than half of the incendiary bottles still slammed into the body of the Devil Tank.

In the blink of an eye, almost every Devil tank was hit by at least one or two Molotov cocktails at the same time.

Accompanied by the light sound of the glass bottle shattering, the gasoline contained in the glass bottle immediately splashed out and splashed on the outer shell of the tank.

Immediately afterwards, the gasoline was ignited by the fire and began to burn blazingly.

Seeing the Independence Battalion attempting to use Molotov cocktails against their tanks, the devil infantry all showed mocking expressions on their faces.

In their view, the independent battalion wanted to use Molotov cocktails against their tanks, which was tantamount to nonsense.

But soon, the expressions on the faces of these little devils froze.

Because they were surprised to find that the tank, which was just like a god of war, turned into a fireball at this moment, and the gang of little devils stopped immediately in fright, keeping a certain distance from it.

The violent combustion of gasoline generated a lot of heat in a short period of time, and the steel shell of the tank was an excellent heat conductor. Therefore, in just a few tens of seconds, the temperature inside the tank compartment rose sharply!
The devil and devil tank soldiers in the carriage also screamed loudly, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

However, compared with high temperature, suffocation caused by less oxygen depletion is more deadly!

Because the tank processing industry in this era is very rough, the gap between the sheet metal is very large.

Therefore, a lot of gasoline flowed directly into the tank compartment along these gaps.

Of course, along with the gasoline flowing into the tank compartment, there was also the raging fire, so most of the oxygen in the compartment was quickly consumed.

The high temperature and suffocation made it impossible for those evil Japanese tank soldiers to run outside, so they passed out and were roasted into whole roasted pigs.

Along with it, the tank was burnt, and after burning, it turned into a pile of wreckage.

Seeing that the Molotov cocktails had an effect, the bombers of the third company immediately carried out the second and third rounds of bombing.

Soon, all the devil tanks became huge fireballs, and then became a pile of scrap metal wreckage.

Without the cover of the tanks, those devil infantrymen became living targets. Facing the firepower attack of the soldiers of the third company of the independent battalion, they fell in pieces one after another.

At this time, the soldiers of the Fourth Company and the Fifth Company also rushed to the front along the traffic trench.

It seems that there is only a short distance of three to forty meters in the end, but it has become an insurmountable moat for little devils.

In the end, due to the heavy casualties, the devil's former enemy commander had no choice but to issue an order to turn in, and led the remnant army to retreat quickly, even ignoring the wounded soldiers...
