1435 Counterattack 2
"Free Shoot!" With the order issued, more than a dozen Dongfeng air defense vehicles and other vehicles carrying a large number of machine guns began to launch crazy strafing at the charge of the Japanese infantry. Because of the distance, they chose indirect shooting and relying on the huge projection to form a coherent death zone. Every minute, tens of thousands of bullets were tilted in this area. The Japanese soldiers hitting the front were torn into pieces by bullets falling from the sky. The Germans did not need to make precise aims. They were like firepower coverage, using excessive output to build a moving death fire net!
Bullets swept across the entire battlefield like a storm, and then groups of Japanese soldiers were surprised to find that their comrades beside them turned into pieces of minced meat in an instant. Some soldiers' upper bodies were hit by a large-caliber bullet. When the soldier watched his body move forward under the influence of inertia in surprise, he realized that he was going to die. Under the uncovered reunion of the Japanese, a large number of machine guns entering the battlefield slaughtered these brainwashed guys with extremely high efficiency.
The air was soon filled with disgusting smell of blood, blood, broken bodies, and all kinds of messy things appeared on the ground almost instantly, like a painting board graffitied by naughty children. The self-proclaimed elite Japanese soldiers finally couldn't stand it anymore due to this sudden change. After seeing their formation being torn by the opponent's firepower, dense bullets directly broke out into flesh-and-blood alleys among the groups of Japanese troops, their spirit that had reached their limit finally collapsed!
"Ah!" After the first soldier retreated because of the cruel battlefield and ran back like crazy, it seemed as if he had ignited the fuse of explosives, which shocked the entire front. And as the grenadiers who arrived successfully harvested the lives of the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to approach, this wave of "suicide" attack had actually collapsed, because at this time, most of the German tanks had retreated to a safe distance. They leaned against machine guns and mortar positions, and at the same time, shrinking the front line, forming a fist.
Just as he used a large number of large-caliber machine guns to successfully repel Japanese infantry colleagues, the hornet assault guns and beetle-type self-propelled guns that were supported also killed the FT10 tanks at a long distance.
Away from 1500 meters, when an FT10 tank was showing off its power on the battlefield with its armor and artillery, a 107mm armor-piercing bomb flew from a distance, drew a graceful parabola in the air and landed on the front of the tank! It hit and destroyed! Under the attack of the armor-piercing bomb weighing 16kg, the tank was even pierced! A fire dragon penetrated directly from the front of the vehicle body to the rear of the vehicle! Accompanied by the violent explosion, a huge ball of flames rose into the air, splashing tons of debris within a radius of dozens of meters!
"Maximum range! Free shooting! Don't consider the opponent's armor! As long as we can hit, they will be dead!" A German commander patted the 107mm cannon next to him and said loudly!
And this seemed to open up a signal. Under the attack of the 88mm cannon and the 107mm cannon, the defense of the ft10 tank was as fragile as paper! It was an arrogant existence a few minutes ago, but now it has immediately become a mouse crossing the street!
Although the combat distance between tanks is generally not far in battles 2, it does not mean that the target cannot be hit at a long distance. After multiple shootings, it is still possible to hit the opponent at a distance of about 1,300 meters, especially when the opponent's movement speed is not fast!
Just like slaughtering charge infantry with platoons, with the arrival of reinforced wasps and beetle self-propelled artillery, one after another, the ft10 tanks were smashed into pieces by powerful armor-piercing bombs! Fireballs rose on the battlefield, and every violent explosion meant that a costly ft10 tank was destroyed. In just over a dozen minutes, the Japanese attack spearhead prepared on the flank was broken!
Then, the flanking armored troops that had regained reinforcements and stabilized the formation began to counterattack, with a series of 2-pound shells lined up and flew towards the target in the distance. Although the French Renault tanks were still fighting back with all their might, the power of the 37 guns was at most a pit left on the heavy armor plate.
"The nails have been removed and the infantry can attack." With the issuance of the counterattack order, groups of infantry began to follow the tanks and clear the battlefield.
"Please keep a distance. Those despicable dwarfs will launch suicide attacks before they die. Therefore, our principle is not to capture prisoners. God agrees with these cruel demons." Some grassroots officers said loudly, and without hesitation, he used the submachine gun in his hands to kill all the Japanese troops who could still move.
In the First World War, both sides of the war were generally relatively restrained, but this restraint did not include dealing with certain types of soldiers with great suffering, or those who took certain tricks. If the machine gun shooters of both sides in the First World War were to be captured, they would tear off their armbands or any other markings that could determine their own troops before being captured, because someone might attack the machine gunner.
However, the German military had no mercy on the Japanese army in the European battlefield, because they not only abused or even killed prisoners, but also pulled grenades or pulled bayonets when the other party tried to help him. After several such incidents, the German military stated that there was no need to rescue such a guy and just eliminate it directly. Therefore, except for some very few targets, the German army generally shot at the Japanese remaining on the battlefield at least in the head or heart!
The Japanese army, which was still as powerful as a few dozen minutes ago, has become a defeated army at this moment. After all, it is an era of advocating firepower and technology. No matter how strong the human flesh is and the high-spirited spirit is, it cannot stop the firepower like a storm. The high-explosive bombs of submachine guns, machine guns, mortars, and rapid-fire cannons formed a rolling wall of flames in front of the entire German army, constantly rolling on the battlefield. Whether it is tanks or infantry, they will be torn to pieces once they are involved. The Japanese army's defeat is a foregone conclusion. Instead, a wave of counterattacks on the flanks were defeated, and the German armored forces also successfully damaged the Japanese mk1 tanks.
Just as the German army was about to pursue the victory, the whistling sound from afar aroused the Germans' alert!
"It's a long-range artillery! It seems that our attack is coming to an end." A German officer shook his head and said.
Chapter completed!
