Chapter 1434 Counterattack 1
Boom, boom, boom, a row of 5 shells was fired by the 2-pounder within 1 second. The 5 shells landed in the target area almost at the same time. Three of the shells missed, but the other two shells accurately hit the front of the Renault tank. On the turret and the armor plate, only a few millimeters of armor plate could not stop the 2-pound armor-piercing projectile. Not surprisingly, two huge holes appeared in the tank body. Immediately, he fell to the side like a paralyzed giant.
The high rate of fire of the 2-pounder gun and the convenient side bullet supply gave the Cricket tank an advantage against lightly armored targets. A series of continuous artillery firings came from the attacking formation, and shells fell like raindrops on the Japanese tanks. In the array, tanks bought at high prices were restored into parts.
"The British MK1 tank seems to be unable to withstand the German new tanks, and the Renault tank is still no match for Cricket. Fortunately, we have been prepared for it. Although there are some deviations, we should still be able to block the opponent's attack. "Yes." Akiyama Yoshigu's expression changed slightly after receiving the frontline battle report, but he was relieved immediately. After all, the gap in equipment, quality and tactical literacy is huge. It is normal not to win, but there will be problems if he wins!
"Attention, the Japanese are starting to release a smoke screen. This time they did a good job. They obscured our realization."
"They are starting to prepare to retreat. The crews should be careful not to get too close."
"The reconnaissance team is ready to move forward, and other vehicles will provide cover at any time."
"The mortars in the rear are ready and can release smoke grenades at any time."
A stream of messages was passed between companies via light signals, semaphores and radios. After receiving the order, the German tanks began to change their formations. They tightened their attack on the front while waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops.
The Germans have encountered this situation many times, usually either to outflank or outflank, or to prepare for a fight. When the Japanese tried to temporarily break away, the German armored forwards began to control the speed, and the Wasp assault guns, Beetle self-propelled artillery and accompanying Dongfeng half-track anti-aircraft vehicles from behind also pressed up.
"I wonder what other tricks the Japanese are playing." A German commander carefully observed the situation outside through the commander's command tower on the top of the cricket tank.
"2 o'clock! There's a big guy!" Suddenly his gunner spotted a shadow hidden in the smoke screen in front of him through the sight. The front of the Gundam's body and the huge turret on the top make it easy to identify the opponent at a glance!
"It's FT10! Pay attention to avoidance, avoid the front!" The sudden appearance of the target made the commander break out in a cold sweat. The cricket-style 2-pound cannon could not penetrate the FT10's frontal armor.
The latter's 75MM rapid-fire cannon is quite fierce!
The driver quickly shifted into reverse gear and at the same time sent out a light signal to the surrounding teammates. A series of red signal lights lit up, which meant that a powerful unit appeared on the front. Everyone, pay attention!
However, after all, artillery shells are still faster than human reaction. When the smoke screen was blown away, a series of 75MM artillery shells were already piercing the face like deadly spears. Even though the Germans could maintain their distance, at about 600 meters, Facing the FT10 appearing on the side at a close distance, the forward troops were still a little unprepared.
A 75MM shell landed on the front of the Cricket tank. The violent impact directly left a terrifying hole in the front of the armor. The warhead that entered easily detonated everything inside, but the teammates next to it had not yet When he reacted, another 75MM shell directly overturned the tank's turret.
Then, the shouts of hundreds of people came from the gradually dissipating smoke screen, and figures rushed up like a tide. Even though they were still hundreds of meters away, the momentum of this attack already made people shudder. At the same time, under the cover of FT10, the Renault tank that had just retreated appeared again. The Japanese used smoke screens to buy time to adjust, and launched the most threatening counterattack on the flank.
"Madman, these guys are trying their best." A commander quickly opened the hatch on the turret, and then operated the roof machine gun to prepare for counterattack, while the driver also operated the front machine gun to prepare to deal with more than 4 figures. Japanese infantry!
A series of long sounds sounded from behind the German position, and the Germans reacted very quickly. The mortars behind fired ammunition wildly in the shortest possible time. A series of artillery shells fell in the attacking Japanese formation, and a blossoming wave of death bloomed. The flowers scattered tons of shrapnel over the battlefield. The shock waves and shrapnel generated by the explosion harvested the lives of the enemies on the opposite side with extremely high efficiency. Each body was torn into pieces by the violent energy while running, and then turned into a pool of blood or a mass of minced meat. However, such an attack It cannot stop the Japanese advance,
"There are too many of them! There are at least one regiment of troops!" There were only two tank companies in the vanguard, and they were suppressed by the Japanese FT10 from a long distance. Faced with such a large number of troops, the frontline troops also had some support. Can't stand it anymore. When the smoke screen finally dissipated, Japanese soldiers like a colony of ants, and a large number of tanks among them, formed a huge arc and rushed towards the German flank. Although there is no way to build a continuous trench system, it is still possible to build some foxholes. The quality of the Japanese infantry is not low. In addition, they are in a defensive state. With deliberate calculations, the Japanese army successfully saved their best. A strong offensive!
"This is the first time I have seen groups of infantry trying to use grenades and explosives to fight tanks during offensive operations." A German soldier said with emotion as he looked at the soldiers coming up like a tide in the distance. If you want to say that in defensive operations, you can rely on trenches and bunkers to hide, wait for the opponent's tanks to come up, and then go up and use explosives or grenades to kill the tracks, that is quite reliable, but now it is an offensive battle, and the battle lines of both sides are constantly changing. , do you think a human's two legs can catch up with a tank?
"Japan is a crazy nation. If you are not careful on the battlefield, you will be bitten by this mad dog. But fortunately, we are ready!" A German soldier next to him looked at the yellow field in the distance. He said easily, and then, a dozen half-track vehicles passed by them and quickly entered the gap reserved by the front-line tank troops.
"Unexpectedly, the first time we went on the field was to deal with infantry!" A Dongfeng anti-aircraft vehicle entered the position. After the soldiers on the vehicle took off the canvas covering the weapons, one equipped with four 12.7MM Machine gun turrets appeared in front of people, and a 300-round drum magazine was fixed next to each machine gun. Driven by the motor at the bottom of the turret, 4 machine guns aimed at the target in the distance!
