Chapter 108 Choice
t34 rushed into the Japanese artillery position.
The Japanese artillery hurriedly turned the artillery to the tank. Although they knew that the 92 infantry cannon could not penetrate the armor of the enemy tank, they still habitually loaded the bullets and tried to make a final struggle, even if they could blow up the tank's tracks.
But before they could fire, the cannon was ruthlessly knocked over by the tank. Then, amid a burst of metal brittle sounds, the cannon and more than a dozen Japanese gunners who had no time to escape were crushed together.
The Japanese blasting hand held a bundle of grenades in their hands and hoped to catch up with the tank. However, before they could run a few steps, they found several grenades emitting smoke falling beside them, and then a "boom" explosion knocked them down next to the tank.
These grenades were thrown by the infantry led by Chen Fujun. They were driving the shoulders and they might not have accurate heads but throwing grenades is fine... The grenades do not need to be dropped too accurately, they only need to be approximately the right position. After they explode, they can kill targets in a range of more than a dozen unless the enemy lies down in time.
Several Japanese rush to climb onto the car and start it and want to escape... To be precise, this is not considered escaping. The cars of the artillery corps are usually equipped with many shells. When the artillery positions are attacked, the first reaction of the car soldiers should be to drive these cars to a safe area.
But it was too late to do this at this time.
Androvic's No. 0 tank stopped a little and got off the car... Perhaps only Androvic, the entire tank battalion, cooperated so well that the crew members did not even need orders. The gunner directly loaded grenades. Then, while the driver stopped, the gunner adjusted the angle, and then blew an ammunition truck into the sky with a "boom".
The explosion of the ammunition truck instantly detonated the shells piled up nearby. The shells flew to other places and exploded and detonated other cars, which then triggered a series of chain explosions. For a moment, explosions in the artillery positions were heard one after another, and the Japanese, cars and artillery were all blown up to the sky.
t34 ignored these things. They still increased their power and rushed through this area as fast as possible. They did not fire on the way. As long as they saw the cannon, they would hit the car and use tracks to crush them. For a moment, the Japanese were beaten to scream and scream.
In just over a dozen minutes, the tanks passed through the Japanese artillery positions.
Gangzi did not order to turn around, but continued to advance five hundred meters before turning the front of the car.
The tank stopped and aimed, followed the infantry and got out of the car and hid behind the tank to cooperate.
This is the advantage of tanks. They can instantly build a line of defense with strong firepower and strong defense.
Nagatake Taro was so surprised that his chin almost fell off. He found that his artillery corps not only failed to defend against the enemy's tanks, but was surrounded by the enemy at this moment... The enemy tanks built a line of defense in the rear, while the main division on the other side was advancing forward. When the enemy's main force arrived, it meant that the artillery corps would be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy.
It has been more than a year or two since Nagatake Taro fought with the Eighth Route Army, but he has never encountered such a situation today.
But he knew that now was not the time to think about this. If he continued like this, he would be afraid that he would not even be able to save his life.
So he got up from the ground in a mess and rushed to the staff lying on the ground loudly, shouting: "Contact the chariot troops immediately and work with our army to defeat the enemy's chariots!"
Nagatake Taro finally made a wise decision.
Although t34 has built a steel line behind them, this scary steel line has a fatal disadvantage: lack of followers.
Chen Fujun's followers' infantry suffered a lot of casualties during the attack just now, especially when they rushed through the artillery position and the shells exploded in a chain... Although this explosion could kill the Japanese, it would also pose a threat to Chen Fujun's followers' infantry without armor protection. Several of them were left in the enemy's artillery position because their shoulders were blown up and could not keep up with the tanks.
This is the cruelty of war. Although sometimes even though you know that it will hurt your own people by chance, you still have to do so.
However, all the soldiers under Chen Fujun were hard-working. They were fighting against the enemy with their weapons until the last moment, which made the Japanese unable to recover from the chaos for a long time.
At this time, Chen Fujun had only 50 people left in the entire company, with an average of only five people covering each tank.
Although the Japanese artillery corps were only seriously injured in the chain explosion, there were at least thousands of people.
If so many troops are combined with the Japanese chariot squadron to launch an attack on the defense line formed by t34... Even if t34 has superior performance, it is probably difficult to resist.
This is the only chance for the Japanese to break through.
T34 has the advantage of speed, and the Japanese Artillery Regiment's car was bombed again, so I could only rely on two legs to escape.
But how can you run over t34 with two legs?
If you retreat desperately at this time, you will only be rushed all the way by T34 as a mouse and eventually be wiped out.
Therefore, Taro Nagatake's idea is very clear. If you want to survive, you must defeat these new types of chariot troops in front of you.
But Atsujiro of the chariot wing did not think so.
When he saw the Artillery Federation's position being broken through and exploded into flames, he sighed: "The Artillery Federation is finished!"
Then, Aritsujiro ordered: "We should break through with the artillery corps in a dispersed manner, so turn to the east!"
More than ten kilometers eastward, there was a line of defense built by the Japanese to fight against the Jinsui Army. Although there were not many troops at this time, there were complete fortifications such as barbed wire and bunkers. As long as you escape there, no matter how powerful the enemy's new chariot is, it is afraid it will be difficult to achieve.
So, when the artillery corps were bombed into a group, Aritsujiro took this opportunity to change direction and flee to the east with the only eight remaining tanks.
When Naga Takejiro wanted to contact the chariot corps in flag language, he found that there had been no chariot corps.
This cannot be said that Tojiro is wrong.
There is a certain reason to escape in two directions. The Eighth Route Army had only one T34 unit and only ten tanks, so they could only choose one of the enemy troops to pursue it.
Gangzi faces another choice: which unit to pursue.
Some chariot commanders hope to chase the enemy tanks, and Androvic thought so too. He shouted on the radio: "Comrade Commander, the enemy tanks have changed direction, let's catch up with them!"
But Gangzi ordered: "We are here, Comrade Captain! I choose the Japanese artillery corps!"
Wang Xuexin felt that Gangzi’s choice was correct.
The most important thing on the battlefield is actually humans, experienced warriors.
If this were not done before, it could be said that the enemy's tanks were more important, because any squadron of the enemy could capture a city in China, causing thousands of casualties to the Chinese army.
But now...
After the Eighth Route Army had T34, the Japanese tanks were less important.
