Chapter 11 The mighty tank regiment
A Japanese colonel saw the tank chariot rushing around, his face changed immediately. He hurriedly entered a tent, shook the phone hard, preparing to report to Niushima Man in the city, but the phone was shaken for a long time but there was no response.
"boom!"
A high-explosive bomb directly penetrated the tent and made a violent explosion, smashing the tent to pieces. Several Japanese devils, including the Japanese colonel, were all blown to death. Telephones, radios and other communication equipment inside the tent were blown to pieces.
"Your Excellency the United Captain, Your Excellency the United Captain..."
Not far away, many Japanese soldiers witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and many Japanese soldiers shouted sadly.
A Japanese soldier took a few grenades with a ferocious face. He screamed and rushed towards the M4 tank that had just started firing. With a loud "boom", several grenades exploded almost at the same time, shattering the Japanese soldier, and blood mist was raised all over the sky.
Although this tank was hit by grenades, it seemed that it had little impact. As an excellent medium tank, the M4 tank is quite armored.
After the explosion, the Japanese soldier was blown away without a trace. A large amount of blood was splashed on the front of the M4 tank, and some minced meat was even stuck. The soldiers in the tank were shocked by the sound of the explosion.
But soon, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and the tank was not seriously injured. So the soldiers began to retaliately bombard the Japanese and carried out fierce bombardments, and the Japanese nearby suffered great dangers.
With the rampage of a large number of tanks, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese army basically had no frontal firepower to directly fight against Sherman tanks. To destroy M4 tanks, they usually have to rely on well-concealed anti-tank guns to kill at close range or even human-teeth special attacks to effectively deal with them.
However, this Japanese anti-tank gun was obviously very limited, and the Japanese army never expected that their opponent was a huge group of chariots.
In a trench, a Japanese devil's major looked anxious and was ordering several Japanese to push a 37mm anti-tank gun out. Several Japanese devils worked hard to push the anti-tank gun to the appropriate position.
The Japanese were preparing quickly. After a few minutes, they were finally ready. Under the command of the Japanese Major, they aimed at an M4 tank not far away. This M4 tank was bombarding the Japanese. After one shot, at least several Japanese were killed.
"Kill and give it to me!!!"
The Japanese lord drew out his command knife and pointed at the tank that was firing in the distance. With a loud "boom", the Japanese fired the guns. However, I don't know if it was because of the poor level or too nervous, the first shot was actually missed.
"Baga!"
Such a good opportunity did not hit. The Japanese Grandmaster was so angry that he screamed and ordered the Japanese to aim and fire again.
This M4 tank discovered that the Japanese were firing at him just now, so he quickly rotated the turret and shot the Japanese war defense cannon.
"boom!"
The gunner of this M4 tank is of good quality and hits the target directly. It is obviously a high-explosive bomb that blows the Japanese war defense cannon to the point of being a little deformed. Obviously, this war defense cannon is aborted. Several Japanese Japanese who are preparing to fire the cannon have also been blown away or killed.
The Japanese master was a little far away from this war defense cannon and was not killed. However, the Japanese master was so scared that he was so scared that he had already aimed the black hole gun barrel at the Japanese master after the M4 tank fired this gun.
Seeing this black cannon barrel, the Japanese Major sweated coldly on his back, which was so scared that his soul was rising and he immediately stumbled and ran away.
However, the Japanese major was so lucky that he had just run a few steps away. An armored vehicle suddenly appeared next to him. The machine gun on the armored vehicle shot at the Japanese major. The Japanese major was beaten to pieces and fell to the ground, dying so hard that he could not die again.
At this time, the combat vehicles of the Mechanical Infantry Battalion and the Air Defense Battalion had begun to provide fire cover for the tanks of the Tank Battalion. The soldiers used machine guns, etc. to kill the Japanese devils who were close to the tanks for human-in-one special attacks.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, a Japanese soldier holding an explosive bag was 20 or 30 meters away from an M4 tank. He was smashed to pieces by an armored vehicle's machine gun. Even the explosive bag was blown up, making a loud bang. The huge power of the explosive bag not only blew the Japanese soldier into a blood mist, but also several Japanese soldiers not far away were affected, and they were injured if they were not killed.
As the battle progressed, due to the lack of effective attack methods by the Japanese army, several limited war defense artillery were also destroyed. Now, in order to resist the attacks of the soldiers, many Japanese soldiers began to attack the tank tanks.
The so-called human-munition attack is that some Japanese soldiers, carrying explosives bags or tying grenades on their bodies, rushed towards the warriors' tanks or armored vehicles, attempting to blow up these tanks or armored vehicles.
Among the armored command vehicles, the regiment commander Sun Yougen has received reports. Many Japanese soldiers have begun to attack their tanks one after another. So Sun Yougen began to change his tactics and ordered the armored vehicles of the Mechanical and Infantry Battalion and the Air Defense Battalion to cover the attack of the tanks.
Although the Sherman M4 tank is quite armored, it is still quite dangerous once it is approached by Japanese soldiers for human bomb attacks, especially those Japanese soldiers who are carrying explosive packs. Fortunately, Sun Yougen decisively issued an order.
With the Mechanical and Infantry Battalion and the Armored Vehicles of the Air Defense Battalion provide cover for the tanks of the Tank Battalion, it is already difficult for Japanese soldiers to get close and almost unable to get close to the M4 tank that fired.
"Ka, da, da..."
A dense shooting sounded, and a Japanese soldier approaching an M4 tank with an explosive bag was knocked to the ground. Not far away, a Japanese lieutenant who was commanding the attack looked tragic. To this extent, he needed to rely on a fighting method of dying together. These Japanese officers never expected it.
However, the Japanese soldier who was attacking with the explosive bag was beaten to death. Soon, with the order of the Japanese lieutenant, another Japanese soldier hugged and risked being beaten to death, ran over quickly, grabbed the explosive bag on the ground, and ran towards the M4 tank.
"boom!"
Several meters away from this M4 tank, the Japanese army was killed again. This time, even the explosive pack was blown up. An armored vehicle not far away provided powerful close-range fire support for the M4 tank.
......
Inside Hangzhou City.
The command center of the Japanese 6th Division, Niujima, the commander of the Japanese division, was filled with grief and anger. He kept reporting and almost knocked Niujimama down. In the west of Hangzhou, the Japanese 6th Division stationed a large number of troops, with at least thousands of people. However, these thousands of Japanese troops were massacred by a huge group of chariots in the Chinese army.
This was a naked massacre. The thousands of Japanese troops with almost no anti-tank equipment were killed or injured under the attack of a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.
Although I didn't go to the battle scene in the west of Hangzhou to check it out in person, Niu Daoman could imagine that the west of Hangzhou must have been full of corpses and a mess at this time.
"Retreat, retreat to the city quickly!"
Niudaoman roared almost indignantly, and ordered the Japanese army in the west of the city to escape into the city quickly. The suburbs were flat, and they were completely under the world of Chinese chariots. Only by running into the city can you have a slight chance of survival.
The Japanese chief of staff next to him saw that Niujimama almost roared, and immediately rushed to convey the orders in person.
****
West of Hangzhou City.
The battle was going on fiercely, but it was almost one-sided battle. The Japanese army lacked effective anti-tank methods and were only massacred.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and thousands of Japanese troops were beaten to pieces, with heavy casualties. On the ground, Japanese corpses were everywhere, and there were even many broken limbs and broken arms.
Even the Japanese army's weapons were scattered everywhere. Most of the Japanese army's large number of field tents no longer exist, either being blown up, overwhelmed by tanks, or burning wildly.
There were fire everywhere on the entire battlefield. Not only were the flammable tents burning, but some Japanese supplies, even corpses, destroyed vehicles, etc. were also burning.
On a road leading to Hangzhou City, a large number of Japanese troops were fleeing to the city in a mess. In addition to the road, there were also many Japanese troops on both sides of the road, running quickly into the city.
The Japanese army, which received the order to retreat, had already begun to retreat on a large scale. However, although the Japanese army began to retreat, many tanks from behind were chasing.
As soon as the Japanese army began to retreat, they were immediately discovered by the soldiers. The company commander of some battalions of the tank regiment immediately reported this phenomenon to the regiment commander Sun Yougen.
The Japanese army fleeing only regretted that their parents had few legs and were running hard. On the road leading to Hangzhou City, the Japanese army fled even more, crowded into a group, and even several large trucks were filled with a large number of Japanese soldiers.
I don’t know where these Japanese troops drove a few trucks. The trucks were crowded with the retreating Japanese soldiers and were driving slowly. The carriage was full of Japanese troops, and even several Japanese officers.
A Japanese officer was squeezed into the carriage and looked at the Chinese chariots chasing behind him in horror. Behind him, at least dozens of Chinese chariots were already chasing with dazzling light columns, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
"Baga! Hurry, retreat quickly, increase the accelerator for me."
The Japanese officer shouted vigorously, but the surroundings were messy and no one paid attention to the Japanese officer. Obviously, the Japanese army's system was completely in chaos.
Behind the retreating Japanese troops, there were about 30 to 40 tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles, driving over at high speed. With these Japanese troops' terrified eyes, the distance was getting closer and closer...
