Battle of the Third Reich
v5 Chapter 266: Tongdeng meat grinder (5)
The Powell car team is fighting in blood, as literally means, he and his men have been scarred, but they are still fighting hard, and they have not given up resistance. ⊙,
For a light wheeled armored vehicle, the limited defense can only guarantee that it can retreat in some low-intensity battles. This vehicle was not originally used as an offensive weapon, although many German troops on the French battlefield It was indeed done that way, it was also because the enemies facing it had little anti-armor capability and their troops were too weak.
The sudden annihilation of the Nomura detachment completely angered the Japanese officers and soldiers of the Kuno squadron. The incident happened too suddenly, and almost no one could clearly see the process. However, it was obviously a sudden attack by the other party. Well, I didn't expect it to sink in a gutter today.
Lieutenant Nakamura couldn't stand it any longer and lost the most elite team under his command. If the cunning armored vehicle was allowed to run again, he would have to bear all the responsibilities.
"Blood! Shameless China soldier." Nakamura jumped out of the hideout and reached for his saber.
"Second Squad! Follow me assault! Meyer!" The captain shouted this sentence, then jumped on the road and ran towards the armored car.
Cao Ono, who was attached to the squad, has had an ominous hunch from the beginning of the war. At that time, he was squatting to think about his thoughts, so he could not catch the impulsive Nakamura, and he could only watch the lieutenant screaming and lonely One ran out.
It’s not always possible to let the captain die alone! "This abominable idiot!" Ono threw a fist under the hammer, and then stood up and pulled out his saber, pointing forward!
"Give it!"
"Go forward! Go forward!"
"Tiannao Black Card onboard!"
"Onboard!"
For a time, the entire squad, except for the machine gun and the toss-barrel team responsible for the cover, all jumped out of their respective hideouts, followed by the two leading officers and launched a bayonet charge towards the light armored vehicle parked in the middle of the road.
Japanese soldiers are not puppets who are not afraid of death, but the officers believe that if they were convinced that this was for the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire, they would definitely die without hesitation. Through various means of corporal punishment and propaganda, the Japanese military convinced every soldier that he had broken away from the ranks of ordinary people. They were soldiers of His Majesty the Emperor, and it was their most glorious mission to die for the Emperor and the country.
The German SS was originally composed of a group of **** Nazis with the strongest faith. Later, during the expansion period, because of Himmler, the dragons and snakes were mixed. But among the grassroots, most of them are ordinary party members with ideals and beliefs. They believe that everything they do is for the rejuvenation of the German nation. The head of state is the only leader who can lead the people to complete this mission. Maintaining the authority of the head of state and obeying the orders of the head of state are the natural tasks and missions of each SS member. For this goal, they are willing to dedicate everything, even the most Precious life. Our honor is loyalty, this is not a simple oath.
So at this moment, the two most ardent armed forces in the world finally collided together in this French colony. Although Sergeant Powell was somewhat hesitant at first, it was because he had to be responsible for the safety and mission of his men. At a time when the identity and strength of the enemy were unknown, avoidance and concession was a wise choice. But this does not mean that he is a timid coward. Sergeant Powell is also a veteran who once served in the army. He knows **** people. Unlike other veterans, he is still a firm Nazi party member. The honor of the collective and the country is more important than life. When it was time for him to launch an attack, he was definitely not half as soft as anyone in the brigade.
The Nakamura squad on the way was charged with a terrible blow in just five seconds. The 20-mm machine gun on the German armored car and the hot bombs spitting out from the parallel machine guns instantly overwhelmed the entire line of scattered soldiers. Rows of soldiers, bursting 20mm shells and machine gun bullets smashed a whole group of soldiers into a rotten flesh, with broken limbs and broken heads all over the ground. The Japanese soldiers, frightened by the sudden and fierce firepower, spontaneously lay down and concealed themselves on the spot before hearing the officer's orders.
"Don't stop! Continue the assault and move on!"
Lieutenant Nakamura, who was at the forefront, was unscathed by this round of attack. He stood abruptly in front of his ground with a saber, and ordered them to get up and continue fighting.
"Red deer! Don't you want to live?" A sergeant cursed secretly on the ground. Obviously, this is not a target that can be won by the courage of blood. The soldiers are all flesh and blood. What they need now is heavy firepower.
"You cowards! Army soldiers are not! Get up" Lieutenant Nakamura ran angrily to a soldier, kicking the infantry's shoulder hard. The poor recruit held his head to death and let the boss exert violence, but he was very determined to lie there and refused to get up.
Just then, the side-by-side machine guns on the armored vehicles started firing again. This round of long-range shots was very accurate. From a certain point of view, this shooting saved the survivors of the Nakamura unit and the poor soldier. Lieutenant Nakamura immediately hit six bullets. The head and the entire upper body were torn apart, and the body fell to the side of the second-class soldier.
"Ah!" The young soldier was confused with sticky blood and brains. He screamed like a girl, and immediately jumped up and turned to run towards the starting position.
"Retreat! The whole team retreats!" Ono Cao shouted loudly, according to the military regulations, he has now obtained the command of the Nakamura team, and he has long been dissatisfied with the reckless practice of the second lieutenant. Ono was relieved at this time, although the commander took it after his death. The issue of responsibility is more troublesome, but for Ono, who is experienced in the army, some of them have room for operation.
Under the leadership of Ono, the surviving soldiers of the Nakamura squad quickly withdrew from the starting position. The Japanese soldiers retreated so resolutely and decisively that no one even took care of the corpses of their comrades, letting them lie on the ground, the Japanese army’s first An assault ended in failure.
Although the enemy's attack was repelled, the Powell Crew was completely in trouble. Although the engine was successfully started, the tires were severely damaged by the enemy's bullets and could not move for long distances. The injury to the car caused a stir of the blood of several SSs. Since the superior ordered himself to stay, since then, he died for the honor of the SS and the opponent. The armored vehicle slowly turned its direction. The strongest front armor faced the Japanese position, the turret turned back directly in front, and Powell closed the top grenade guard to prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese.
The next battle became the long-range shooting time for both sides. The Japanese army took advantage of their firepower in quantity and began to fire continuously at German armored vehicles to prevent further movement of the armored vehicles. They are waiting for the heavy firepower support from behind to arrive, and then they will once again take this stubborn target.
The fiasco of the Nakamura team almost exploded Captain Kino who was playing with a small abacus. After listening to Ono Cao's report, he realized that the opponent was not a target that could be easily captured. In desperation, he could only report the combat situation to Morimoto faithfully and request the assistance of the brigade. However, he still left his hand, only to express that he needed a 92-type heavy machine gun team to support, and the remaining work of the 12th Squadron could be completed independently.
In the process of waiting for the arrival of the heavy machine gun, Hisano was not idle, he ran to the front and carefully observed this opponent. Captain Hisano squatted behind a rock, cautiously showing only one head, and holding a telescope to look at the armored vehicle in the distance, he found details not mentioned in the previous report.
"What sign is that?"
The hull of the blue-gray armored car was covered with bullet marks. Although there is no substantial penetration damage, the armor plate has been pitted, and the paint and coating have become patchy. After carefully looking up and down, Hisano found that there was no blue sky and white army emblem of the army on the body of the car. Instead, there was a small black double-edged axe logo under the armor of the front, as if there were two letters, too far away It is not clear. The white license plate is a style that has never been seen before, with the beginning of the Nanman letter ss, is it the new unit of the Chinese army?
In fact, the side of this car near the rear is also painted with a low-recognition white hollow cross car mark of the German army, but it went all the way. It was partly blocked by dust and mud, but even if Japanese soldiers saw it, they could not be discerned by their knowledge. They may know the famous black and white crucifix of the German army. However, this latest German hollow cross made of four white right-angled fold lines, the Japanese soldiers can only kneel and say Smither.
In the end, Hisano lost the last chance to recover this tragedy, and sent his squadron and even the entire brigade to Huangquan Road. Hisano decided to apply uninterrupted pressure on the target before the support of the brigade arrived. At the moment, he still had the expectation that he might solve the opponent alone. So this broken squadron with only one and a half squads mobilized all available weapons. The armored vehicles parked on the road launched round after round of attacks.
Powell began to give colors to each other, but then the small armored vehicle fell into a rain of bullets that it could hardly parry. In addition to rifles and light machine guns, there were threats to the crew of the armored vehicle. The largest 50mm cast iron grenade, because the top of the armored car’s turret is open and covered with a steel wire mesh, only one small grenade needs to hit the roof of the car, and Powell and his men will be finished immediately, fortunately It's something that hasn't really happened yet.
The most dangerous grenade hit the front armor plate of the car, which was the closest time Powell and they were to death in this battle. German sophisticated materials and bulletproof design showed their power here, except Except for leaving a huge scar on the armor cover of the turret and the driving window, it did not cause more damage to the car. The crew members were only subjected to a strong shock, because they had been wearing a call before Headphones, so several people can still keep awake, but was scared at the time.
However, as the war entered into fierce heat, considering the consumption of ammunition, the frequency of armored vehicles' counterattacks began to gradually decrease. After being hit by a round at close range, the gunner was hit in the shoulder by a bullet that penetrated from the top of the turret. The Japanese apparently discovered this defense weakness of the armored vehicle and began to use a rifle to carry out a parabolic trajectory at a long distance. Beyond shooting.
Instead of staying on the spot and being beaten again, Powell ordered the driver to launch the armored vehicle to slowly retreat along the road, while using machine guns and coaxial machine guns to violently fire at the Japanese position to try to interfere with the enemy's shooting. At this moment, the Japanese army's position sounded a rhythmic shooting sound of the 92 heavy machine gun, and the heavy firepower of the Japanese army finally arrived. The steel core armor-piercing projectile fired by the heavy machine gun hit a spark on the armored car's steel plate. This thin armor was finally overwhelmed and was penetrated one after another. The driver Chuck's leg and waist were hit hard and collapsed. In the driver's seat, the ability to continue driving the vehicle is lost. The frontal armor of the turret was also penetrated, and Powell and the gunner could only avoid the muzzle of the machine gun with a solid gun mount to resist the attack of the bullet.
It was found that the opponent stopped the counterattack, and Hisano personally commanded the remaining Japanese troops to launch an assault on the armored vehicle again. At this time, the Powell team was already in danger.
But when the Japanese army swarmed towards the solitary armored car, suddenly a dull sound of machine guns came from the other side of the road, and then four light whips composed of tracer bombs were drawn into the Japanese offensive queue. .
