Chapter 90 Tanks Run Over Japanese Soldiers, Using Them as Speed Bumps
To the die-hard fans of Wuyun in his twilight years, the latest chapter of "You Were Let to Guard Sihang Warehouse, and You Developed a German-Style Engineer" has been released!
As long as they can hold off these enemies, reinforcements from the 114th and 6th Divisions can arrive continuously and completely annihilate them.
The temporary blocking positions were deployed by the Japanese army at an extremely fast pace.
However, since the terrain here is mostly flat and there are no natural defenses, the two Japanese infantry battalions could only use horse-drawn carts, mule carts, and trucks to build the simplest defensive positions.
Machine gun fire, rifle fire, grenade launchers, and so on were also aimed at the darkness ahead.
The cavalry went forward to scout out the location of the enemy forces.
Shimono Kazuho nervously picked up his binoculars and looked in the direction of Zhonghua Gate.
If the enemy convoy breaks out from inside, that's the only way it can go.
Finally, a signal flare was launched, signaling that the Japanese forward positions on the flank had been briefly captured.
In the direction of Zhonghua Gate, eight tanks led the way, followed by motorcycles, trucks, and other vehicles.
Upon hearing the faint roar of engines coming from the darkness, Shimono Kazuka knew their time was running out and angrily shouted:
"Samurai, do not retreat! Everyone hold your ground!! As long as we withstand the enemy's first wave of attack, our reinforcements will arrive!!!"
Amid his roar, all the Japanese soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, fingers on the triggers, waiting for the order to fire.
The enemy's simple blitzkrieg tactics, using motorcycles and trucks, actually left a deep impression on Shimono Kazuho.
He himself almost died from this bizarre fighting method.
But this time is different.
They were prepared in advance, with machine guns and rifles already in place, fully capable of holding off the enemy's attack.
Previously, it was an encounter battle, and without preparation, the defensive formation was not even adjusted before the entire team was scattered by the enemy.
Shimono Kazuho took a deep breath, knowing that if he could stop this main enemy force, tonight would be the time for him to avenge himself.
Just then, the cavalry charged in, shouting to the ranks:
"Enemy tanks are charging in!!!"
"What? A tank?"
Shimono was taken aback, wondering when the enemy had acquired tanks and were charging straight at them.
In order to provide rapid support, they did not bring any anti-tank artillery; they couldn't expect to use grenade launchers and machine guns.
How many?
"Ichiro Shimono asked."
"There are so many, it's too dark to count them all!!"
As they were speaking, flares suddenly shot into the sky.
Those were flares fired by the tank crew, illuminating the dark sky.
Sixteen vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns locked onto the Japanese lines not far away the moment the flares were launched.
"Da da da da!!!!"
The firing has begun!
Behind them, a large number of sidecar motorcycles, equipped with MG42 and MG34 machine guns mounted on their sidecars, roared out as well.
Forty or fifty machine guns opened fire simultaneously, their tracer bullets lashing out at the Japanese positions like fiery whips.
"Pfft pfft!!!!"
Bullets easily pierced Japanese trucks, horse-drawn carriages, Japanese soldiers' heads, and the entire defensive line.
"Fire!!!"
Shimono Kazuhiro brandished his katana and roared.
All the Japanese lines and their firing positions roared in unison.
But as the bullets moved forward, whether it was the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun, the Type 11 light machine gun, or the Type 38 rifle in the hands of the Japanese soldiers, when they hit the frontal armor plate of the No. 1 tank, they only produced a series of dazzling sparks and made a crisp clanging sound.
However, bullets of these calibers are obviously unable to penetrate armor plates and cause any harm to the crew members.
Even that couldn't stop the tanks from rolling forward.
Only a few motorcyclists were killed or wounded by Japanese fire during the journey and were unable to continue.
However, more personnel, relying on their overwhelming firepower concentrated on the front, continued to inflict casualties on the Japanese army, suppressing the Japanese troops along the entire defensive line to the point that they could not even raise their heads.
The firepower involved in the attack consisted primarily of machine guns, with a rate of fire far exceeding that of the Japanese troops, and their numbers far surpassed those of the two Japanese infantry battalions.
Under overwhelming firepower, all skills become meaningless.
The eight tanks continued forward, charging into the Japanese positions like raging bulls.
"Suicide squad, charge!!!!"
Shimono Kazuho roared angrily.
Some Japanese soldiers, carrying explosive packs and cluster grenades, jumped out from within the lines, attempting to stop the tanks from advancing.
However, under the torrential machine gun fire, these Japanese soldiers often had just jumped out of their cover when bullets tore their bodies apart.
"bomb!!!"
When they closed to within 30 meters, the Nationalist troops threw a large number of Molotov cocktails and cluster grenades at the Japanese positions.
Meanwhile, engineers armed with flamethrowers emerged from behind the tanks and sprayed flames at the Japanese lines.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!"
Like the breath of a dragon, the flames and intense heat instantly engulfed the Japanese troops within its range.
"ah!!!!"
Screams rose and fell, and Japanese soldiers were engulfed in flames, rolling on the ground, only to be abruptly silenced by the intense firepower.
"Chief of Staff, we can't hold on any longer! Retreat! The enemy's firepower is too fierce!"
But Shimoya Ichiro's eyes were cold as he gripped his katana and swiftly cut the soldier to the ground.
"No retreating! Tianzai Black Card, Banzai!!!!"
"Banzai!!!! Banzai!!!!"
Led by Shimono Kazuo, the Japanese soldiers, already desperate, launched a Banzai charge.
Li Jianghe, who was behind, was overjoyed when he saw the Japanese army launch the Banzai charge.
Long live the charge! In the game, this is a group of people feeding kills to the enemy.
"Da da da!!!"
"Hiss hiss hiss!!!"
The machine gunner remained silent, simply pulling the trigger and opening fire.
The assistant gunner quickly changed the red-hot barrel, loaded the ammunition belt, and the next round of firing continued.
Soldiers wielding flamethrowers emptied one fuel canister, quickly switched to another, and continued spraying the Japanese troops.
Soldiers behind them, armed with rifles and submachine guns, kept pulling the triggers, firing bullets at the frantically charging Japanese soldiers who were constantly yelling.
The spent cartridge cases clattered to the ground, gleaming golden, like a carpet of gold in the firelight.
The Japanese soldiers' corpses, torn apart by bullets and covered in blood, were crushed into pieces of meat by the tanks.
The column moved forward, rushing over the bodies of Japanese soldiers.
The tanks were unstoppable; the Japanese troops, lacking anti-tank weapons, couldn't even get close before being mowed down by dense machine gun and submachine gun fire.
Shimono Kazuhiro, wielding a samurai sword, charged toward a Panzer I tank.
Several Japanese soldiers around him fell to the ground under the barrage of fire.
Finally, a 7.92mm heavy bullet shattered his chest.
Shimono Kazuhiro collapsed to the ground with a thud, his body trembling, feeling a huge shadow looming over him.
Bai Chengshan shouted, urging the drivers to accelerate and charge forward.
"Click click click!!!!"
The tank tracks rolled over Shimono Ichigo's body.
That was the sound of bones being crushed.
The tank only lurched slightly before continuing forward, as if it were going over a speed bump.
Human-shaped speed bump.
Inside the 6th Division headquarters, Tani Hisao was in a state of utter distress.
The forward positions have been attacked, and he is mobilizing troops to retake them.
But just as the front-line positions were lost, fierce fighting broke out again at the front.
The reinforcements led by Shimono Kazuho encountered the enemy's breakout force.
