Chapter 162 Street Fighting
Dai Anlan knocked on the armor of the armored vehicle and pointed to the open cargo bed at the rear of the armored vehicle.
"Captain Sun, the armor of the armored vehicle cannot withstand the enemy's light artillery or even mines. Moreover, if the Japanese throw grenades and Molotov cocktails into the vehicle from a high altitude, you will lose a squad of soldiers and an armored vehicle!"
Sun Yang had never fought in a street fight before and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
These armored vehicles are his treasures. Asking him to take risks with them is more difficult than asking for his life.
"Captain Sun, all the Zhuangjia infantrymen get off the vehicles and advance from the southwest corner to the northeast in squads and platoons. Deploy engineers to each platoon. If any situation arises, use explosives to resolve it!"
"Yes!"
According to Dai Anlan's deployment, armored vehicles and light tanks formed mobile outposts around Yuncheng to attack small reinforcements that might appear in some strongholds or artillery towers.
The infantry received a large number of grenades from the logistics department, and when they encountered a house with unknown situation, they would use grenades to clear a path.
If grenades cannot solve the problem, then use 75mm infantry guns or 150mm direct-fire artillery to solve it.
If it really doesn't work, use tanks to open the way and run over them directly, or use 80mm tank guns to serve.
In addition, a squad of soldiers must be deployed around each tank to prevent enemy suicide attacks on the tanks with cluster grenades or explosive packs.
After deployment, the Tiger tanks acted as shields and entered the city through a ten-meter-wide gap.
Dai Anlan felt a little bit reluctant when looking at the devastation, because those homes that were bombed were all Chinese people’s!
But what’s the point of having a home if we don’t drive away the Japanese?
"Be alert. If you can solve the problem with artillery fire, do your best. Don't push in!"
Thirty tanks filed in, spread out over several streets, and advanced slowly.
Zheng Wei, the platoon leader of the first platoon of the second company of the first battalion of the armored infantry regiment, is a grassroots officer who has been trained in the infantry training class.
Zheng Wei was leading a platoon of soldiers guarding a Tiger tank and advancing along a street seven or eight meters wide.
The machine guns on the Tiger tanks were guarding the buildings on both sides.
Zheng Wei's infantry platoon searched house by house.
"Platoon commander, there's a situation!"
Zheng Wei walked away without a sound and squatted down at the gate of a small courtyard.
"Platoon leader, there are rustling sounds inside! It seems like there are some devils talking?"
Zheng Wei took out a mirror, hung it in front of a tree stick, and quietly observed the situation in the yard.
Sure enough, there were two Japanese soldiers in the yard with their upper bodies naked and covered with explosives, drinking "courage-boosting wine", apparently preparing to attack the tanks.
"Damn, you're quite brave! Get the grenade ready, delay the release for three seconds!"
Zheng Wei and three other men each took out a grenade, pulled the cord, delayed for three seconds, and then threw it into the yard.
A moment later, there was a violent explosion that collapsed the yard and caused tiles from the house next door to fall to the ground.
"Follow me!"
Zheng Wei picked up the MP40 submachine gun and flashed into the yard, only to see the ground covered with the minced meat of Japanese soldiers.
"Keep pushing!"
The soldiers climbed over the ruins and reached the next yard.
According to the knowledge taught in the infantry training class, after the Japanese suicide attack, there will definitely be other Japanese soldiers coming up to shoot again.
Therefore, there should still be some Japanese devils nearby.
The yard next door looks like a warehouse with a lot of goods, which makes it a convenient place for the Japanese to hide.
With a wave of his hand, Zheng Wei divided the four people into two groups and searched forward. The outside of the warehouse was safe and no enemies were found.
Only a small warehouse at the innermost part remained.
Zheng Wei and the other three exchanged glances and prepared for an attack.
One person guards outside the warehouse to prevent the enemy from attacking from outside.
The other three followed their daily training, with one kicking the door and two assaulting.
With a "bang", the wooden door was kicked open.
Zheng Wei rolled forward with his submachine gun and rolled into the warehouse. When he looked up, he saw four Japanese soldiers looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Da da da!"
Zheng Wei raised his hand and fired a volley of bullets, killing four Japanese soldiers.
Zheng Wei got up and kicked the dead Japanese soldier lying on the ground, then touched his beloved submachine gun.
"It's a great weapon for street fighting. I like it! Retreat!"
After going out, Zheng Wei returned to the tank and continued searching forward.
When we reached a T-junction, the second-floor window opposite us suddenly opened, revealing a black gun muzzle.
The sharp-eyed Zheng Wei shouted immediately.
"Anti-gun!"
The infantry platoon immediately rushed to the shops on both sides.
Just as he finished speaking, a shell came flying towards the tank at a high speed, hit the front armor with a bang, and exploded.
The shrapnel knocked down two infantrymen.
"Damn it! How dare you attack my tank!"
The tank's gun barrel was slightly raised, and a high-explosive shell was fired directly at the second-floor window, instantly collapsing half of the building.
Immediately afterwards, several grenades were thrown from the second floor of the street where the tanks were located, which made the tank soldiers' ears numb.
Zheng Wei waved his hand, and the infantry platoon searched the shops on the left and right sides and went up to the second floor.
Grenades were thrown to clear the way, submachine guns were used to kill the enemies, and semi-automatic rifles were used to provide follow-up fire. In less than five minutes, an entire squad of Japanese soldiers was wiped out.
The infantry platoon also lost two soldiers.
"Squad One sets up a barricade at the intersection and monitors the surrounding situation!"
A squad leader immediately used local materials and moved the broken bricks and tiles to the intersection of the T-junction, set up a machine gun, and sent a soldier to the second floor in each of the three directions to monitor the block.
Zheng Wei led the remaining two classes and continued to move forward.
Along the way, we encountered all kinds of cold guns and cold artillery, some of them crawled out from the ruins, some crawled out from the pile of dead bodies, and some even fell from the sky with explosive packs.
If the Tiger tank hadn't been so tough, it would have turned into a pile of scrap metal long ago.
However, the tracks of two Tiger tanks were broken by the Japanese Type 94 mountain guns.
However, the fate of this Type 94 mountain cannon was quite tragic. It was blown into a hemp twist of steel by the whistling artillery support.
Thirty Tiger tanks led two infantry battalions, like a comb, combing Yuncheng.
According to the battle results reported by various units, the number of enemy troops killed was nearly 1200. Based on the number of troops in a battalion of the enemy, they were basically completely wiped out.
However, the 37th Division's direct troops were also in Yuncheng, so it was estimated that there were still at least seven or eight hundred Japanese soldiers in the city.
The tank cluster finally advanced to the northeast corner of the city, the camp of the Japanese 37th Division. According to intelligence, the Japanese first field hospital and light and heavy teams (baggage teams) were stationed here.
Behind the field hospital and the light and heavy teams was the Japanese headquarters, the lair of Nagano Yuichiro.
Two Tiger tanks easily broke into the Japanese yard, and more than fifty trucks were parked in the middle of the yard. The barracks doors on three sides of the yard were all closed and quiet.
Sun Yang showed his cunning eyes from behind the Tiger tank and stared at the barracks a hundred meters away.
"Something's wrong! Did they all run away?"
"Captain, how about I take someone over to take a look?"
"Are you stupid? If the barracks were full of machine guns, wouldn't you be shot into a sieve?"
After Sun Yang finished speaking, he hung up the walkie-talkie in his hand.
