Chapter 1440

The chariot retreated and pulled away. At the same time, the artillery turned to the side. At this moment, the infantry on both sides provided support. The three flares fired by the mortar lit up the surrounding night, allowing the rapid-fire cannon fired earlier. The position was exposed to the sight of the German tanker.

Da Da Da, soon after the flares went out, the machine gunner fired a series of tracer rounds, continuing to indicate the target for the retreating tank. Three minutes later, the 75MM rapid-fire guns of the three wolf tanks fired more than 2 dozen shells against the distant rapid-fire gun positions. The continuous attacks directly blasted the front breast wall and the huge log was exploded. After being blown into the air, the high-explosive bombs fired subsequently ignited the combustible materials around the bunker. Then, people could see incomplete artillery, dead bodies lying around, and huge figures looming in the distance.

"Japanese tanks are coming up!" To be honest, it is the first time for the Germans to conduct tank battles at night. Who knows how to fight tank battles at night? The use of tracer and flares to indicate targets for infantry and armored forces is just a tactic that has just been developed. For fixed targets, only a short time of lighting or the use of tracer to indicate the shooting can be completed, but for the same mobile tank, such lighting Some can't keep up!

"Notify the headquarters, watch out for the Japanese tanks! They are starting to counterattack!" The 120MM artillery position is temporarily ignored, but due to the issue of shooting boundaries, this armored unit and the accompanying infantry are in a shooting corner, and they will not need it for the time being Worried about being destroyed by heavy artillery, they need to deal with the Japanese tanks on the front. However, when the Germans considered how to conceal the hunting of those Japanese tanks at night, the latter solved the light source problem!

brush! Pillars of light quickly swept across the battlefield. After a short period of discomfort, the Germans were surprised to find that the Japanese had actually put some searchlights on the battlefield!

"That's it! Keep their searchlights!" A German gunner quickly spotted an MK1 tank 700 meters away from him! After quickly using the side-by-side machine gun to measure the range, two 75MM armor-piercing projectiles were smashed onto the armor of this tank! Accompanied by violent collisions and scattered sparks, the thick vertical armor was cut open, directly killing the 6 members inside!

The Japanese searchlights are very useful. They and the flares fired by both sides almost illuminate the entire battle area. Under the bright light, it almost becomes a whole day, so everything behind it is fine. How to fight during the day is still How to fight! At a distance of 600 to 1,000 meters between the two sides, dense bullets and artillery shells roared towards both sides. A series of explosions resounded like explosive beans throughout the battlefield. This suddenly became the focus of the battle between the two sides.

"Damn it! At 9 o'clock!" When Hals noticed that an MK1 suddenly appeared next to his car, the distance between the two parties was already close to 500 meters, and the latter did not hesitate about the side of his car. Here comes a shot! In an instant, a fire light emerged from the side of the car body. The shot was hit in a bad position. It was directly bounced off by the thicker part of the side of the car body. The Japanese found that it could not penetrate at a distance of 500 meters. The wolf tank was also a little flustered afterwards. One of the other three shells hit the turret and was still by the tank, and the other two were shot off.

"This is definitely the best tank I have ever used, just for his defense!" Hals, who survived a catastrophe, said excitedly, and at the same time easily knocked the opponent down with an armor-piercing round. And soon the Japanese realized that their searchlights were more helpful to the other party and tried to turn off the searchlights. However, at this time, everything was too late. In less than fifteen minutes, 7 Japanese tanks were destroyed. , 4 vehicles were seriously injured, and the accompanying light infantry were also less numerous, but the more powerful German assault troops were killed in the intricate trenches.

After destroying the counterattack Japanese armed forces, the outcome of the exposed 120MM artillery position has also been determined. After the tank unit fired dozens of artillery shells, it was occupied by the infantry who rushed to it. 4 120MM naval guns were modified. The land artillery captured two and destroyed two.

"According to the current situation reported by the troops, we have destroyed the main position of the Japanese army and entered several wedges in the depth. Most of the anti-aircraft guns have been destroyed. The troops are currently consolidating their positions. We can start the second wave tomorrow. The troops continue to develop in depth. So far, we have knocked open the thick tortoise shell of the Japanese. Tomorrow, we can kill them with just one cut!" A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Eric.

In the battle during the day, the Japanese army lost more than three-digit tanks and at least 3,500 infantrymen. In the battle tonight, the entire defense system has been shaken. The quality of the troops will not be less than 2500. Generally, The infantry of a division-level unit does not exceed 40% of the total number. Now, the Japanese army has lost more than half of the first-line infantry and more than half of the artillery and tanks! Capable of fighting troops, not much!

"The only threat is the Japanese long-range artillery force, but tomorrow morning, the air force will help us suppress it. We only need to clean up the remaining Japanese troops. The troops must be quickly interspersed to hold the opponent as much as possible, otherwise~www .lightnovelpub.net ~ When the opponent retreats to the city, it will be difficult to fight. They can get fire support from the British former dreadnought warship in the port." Lieutenant General Eric said.

"In fact, we can completely occupy this area. In this case, we are equivalent to directly cutting the Greek battlefield into two sections. In this narrow battlefield, we can effectively weaken the British numerical advantage." A staff officer said.

"We can stay for a longer period of time as appropriate, but complete occupation is not realistic. Our task is only consumption. Once our superiority period has passed and our troops are in fatigue, our losses will rise sharply. Don’t forget, There are not many troops that can replace us." Lieutenant General Eric said. At the same time, a group of high-ranking Japanese officials in the Japanese military headquarters also exploded.

"We have put in counterattacks on various fronts, but the situation is very bad. We have not been able to regain a valuable position. Instead, we have lost a lot of mobile troops. The 4 tank wing has lost more than 60% of the infantry. The loss is no less than this ratio. According to domestic standards, the best result of our troops is to retreat, and then wait for supplies and reorganization." A Japanese staff officer said very pessimistically.
