Chapter two hundred and fifty second head broken blood
The 5th, 7th Indian Division, 81st South African Division, 17th Indian Division, and 254th Indian Tank Brigade all participated in this attack. In order to break through the blockade of anti-Japanese and rescue, they invested more than 30,000 people in this wave of attack. In particular, the 254th Indian Tank Brigade put all the remaining more than 20 m3 tanks into the battle.
"Occurrence! Tear open the Chinese defense line and crush them!"
"We are going home to defeat the Chinese!"
Countless British soldiers shouted slogans and launched an attack. For them, if they wanted to escape, there was only one way, which was to break through the interception of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue **. Only in this way could they escape. Otherwise, they would have to fall into the hands of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue **.
"Crunch! Crunch!"
More than 20 m3 light tanks crushed the earth and rushed to the anti-Japanese and rescue positions. Although the m3 light tanks were weak in armor and had little firepower, they were still not something they could withstand for infantry. The machine gun firepower of the tanks could easily tear the infantry's bodies to pieces. However, if the infantry lacked anti-tank weapons, they could only become the targets of massacre by these tanks.
However, is the anti-Japanese rescue unit a unit that lacks anti-tank weapons? Obviously not. In the establishment of the anti-Japanese rescue unit, each battalion had 3 57mm anti-tank guns. The anti-tank company of the regiment headquarters was equipped with 12 57mm anti-tank guns. In this way, an infantry regiment was equipped with 21 57mm anti-tank guns. The two regiments deployed by the anti-Japanese rescue unit in Jiagu were equipped with a total of 42 57mm anti-tank guns. These dozens of anti-tank guns were completely easy to capture against more than 20 m3 light tanks from the British.
"Aim at the target, 780 meters away from us." The commander of an anti-tank gun team ordered.
The 57mm anti-tank gun aimed at an M3 light tank of the British army. At this moment, the light tank was constantly firing, and did not realize that the danger had already reached their heads.
"Boom!" The anti-tank gun opened fire, and an armor-piercing bomb flew towards the tank.
In the blink of an eye, the tank was armored on the m3 light tank. The armor of more than ten millimeters could not resist the shelling of armor-piercing bombs and was penetrated in an instant. A fist-sized bullet hole appeared on the front armor of the tank. The armor fragments fired at high speed inside the tank, and easily killed all the tank soldiers in the tank.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!"
The rest of the tank guns also opened fire. One after another, British tanks were penetrated and even became a pile of burning scrap iron.
Although the British m3 tanks were desperately accelerating and wanted to break through the interception at the last distance. However, under the intensive anti-tank firepower of the anti-Japanese rescue, it was impossible. The last m3 light tank was also destroyed less than 100 meters away from the defense line of the anti-Japanese rescue.
"God! It's over, my tank brigade is finished." Brigadier General Kagel, the commander of the 254th Indian Tank Brigade of the British Army, closed his eyes in pain. All the tanks equipped by his tank brigade were destroyed. Most of them were destroyed by air strikes by the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Air Force, and the rest were also destroyed in the battle just now. This undoubtedly caused the tank brigade to suffer a fatal blow. Although they still had a lot of soldiers, after losing all the tanks, were they still tank brigades?
The losses of the British 254th Indian Tank Brigade did not stop the attack of other British troops. The attack of tens of thousands of British troops was still beginning.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
On the anti-Japanese and rescue positions, 36 75mm field guns were fired at the maximum rate of fire. One by one, one shell after another, roared towards the British army's queue. The shells exploded in the British army's queue, blowing away many British soldiers. Many people were even torn into pieces.
"Boom!" A shell exploded, and several Indian Asans wrapped in headscarves were considered to have been killed.
"Fire!" With the commander's order, the heavy mortar that resisted Japan and rescued ** also opened fire. Although the 107mm heavy mortar has a short range, it has a very powerful force and a fast rate of fire. This is undoubtedly an extremely powerful infantry suppression firepower.
Under the fierce shelling of the anti-Japanese rescue, the British army suffered huge casualties.
However, the British army, which had lost heavy weapons, had no choice but to watch their soldiers be ravaged by the fierce artillery fire of the anti-Japanese and rescue operations.
Many British soldiers fell on the way to attack.
More and more British soldiers rushed to the front line of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Defense. The anti-Japanese and Rescue soldiers on the defense line were already on high alert. The entire defense line was less than ten kilometers. Therefore, the two regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Defense each sent two infantry battalions to the front position. The other troops acted as reserves.
"Light and heavy machine guns are ready to fire!"
With the commander's order, the light and heavy machine guns on the defense began to shoot violently.
"Da da da!" Orange-red flames erupted at the muzzle, and bullets roared towards the British soldiers. Many British soldiers were hit and fell to the ground with screams.
"God! The Chinese are so dense. How powerful are those Americans equipped them with firepower!"
The British generals watching the battle in the rear were completely intercepted when they saw the British soldiers' charge, and they were mostly faced. It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of these British soldiers, blocking the attack of the British soldiers.
Countless British soldiers fell to the ground. Blood flowed out of their bodies, soaking the ground.
Although the British army invested much more troops to attack than the two regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue **. However, under the dense firepower attack, the role of military strength advantage can play is no longer that great. The dense formation is even more completely seeking death in such an attack.
Although the defense line for the anti-Japanese and rescue of ** was built hastily. However, with the support of dense firepower, this line of defense seemed very strong. It was so strong that it made the British hit the head and bleeding on the defense line.
After losing thousands of people, the British attack ended in collapse. A large number of Indian Sans were frightened and retreated and fled. They did not dare to launch another attack, because it was clearly seeking death.
