Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 266: Tongdeng meat grinder (5)
Powell's car team is fighting bloody, as literally means, he and his subordinates are already scarred, but they are still fighting hard and did not give up resistance. (Please go to see the latest chapter)
For a light wheeled armored vehicle, the limited defense power can only ensure that it can retreat in some low-intensity battles. This type of vehicle was not originally used as an offensive weapon, although on the French battlefield Many German troops did that because the enemy they faced did not have any anti-armor capabilities, and their forces were too weak.
The sudden destruction of Nomura squadron completely angered the Japanese officers and soldiers of Kuno Squadron. It happened so suddenly that almost no one could see the process clearly, but it was obviously attacked by the opponent, and Nomura was well experienced. A war veteran, I didn't expect to sink in a gutter today.
Lieutenant Nakamura couldn't stand it anymore, and lost the most elite squad. If he let the cunning Chinese armored car run, then he would take all the responsibilities.
"Beast! Shameless Chinese soldier." Nakamura jumped out of the hiding place, reaching out his saber from his waist.
"Second Squad! Assault with me! Meyer!" After the captain shouted this sentence, he jumped onto the highway and dashed towards the armored vehicle.
Ono Cao Chang, who served as the squad attachment, has always had an ominous premonition since the start of the war. He was squatting thinking about things at the time, so he couldn't hold the impulsive Nakamura, so he could only watch the ensign squeaky. Called lonely and ran out.
It's not always necessary to let the team leader die by himself! "This damned fool!" Ono slammed the ridge under his body with a punch. Then he stood up and drew out his saber, and pointed it forward!
"Give me a stab!"
"Go ahead! Go ahead!"
"The black card is onboard!"
"Onboard!"
For a time, the entire team except the machine gun and grenadier team responsible for cover. They all jumped out of their respective concealed places, and followed the two leaders, Zo, 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 are convinced that this is for the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire, they will definitely die generously without hesitation. Through various corporal punishment and propaganda methods, the Japanese military convinced every soldier that he had broken away from the level of ordinary people. They were soldiers of His Majesty the Emperor. To die for the emperor and the country is their most glorious mission.
The German SS was originally composed of a group of **** Nazis with the strongest faith. Later, during the expansion period, due to Himmler's sake, dragons and snakes were mixed. However, 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, and the head of state is the only leader who can lead the people to accomplish this mission and protect the head of state. The authority and obedience to the orders of the head of state are the tasks and missions of every SS. They are willing to dedicate everything to this goal, even the most precious life. Our honor is loyalty. This is not just a simple oath.
So at this moment, the two most fanatical armed forces in the world finally collided in this French colony. Although Sergeant Powell was hesitant at first, it was because he had to be responsible for the safety and tasks of his subordinates. At a time when the enemy's identity and strength are all unknown, avoiding and retreating is a wise choice. But this does not mean that he is a timid coward. Sergeant Powell is also a veteran who has served in the Army. He knows how to kill. Unlike other veterans, he is still a staunch Nazi party member. The honor of the collective and the country is more important than life. It's time for him to attack. He is definitely not weaker than anyone in the brigade.
The Nakamura squad, which was on the way to the charge, suffered a terrible blow in just five seconds. The hot bullets from the 20mm machine gun and parallel machine gun on the German armored car instantly overwhelmed the skirmish line. A whole row of soldiers in China, bursting 20mm artillery shells and machine gun bullets beat the entire unit of soldiers into a mass of rotten flesh, with broken limbs and broken heads all over the floor. The Japanese soldiers, who were frightened by the sudden fierce firepower, had spontaneously lay down and concealed themselves before hearing the command of the officer.
"Don't stop! Keep on assault, go forward!"
Ensign Nakamura, who was at the forefront, was unscathed by this round of blows. He stood abruptly in front of the prone man with his saber, and loudly ordered them to get up and continue fighting.
"Red Deer! Don't you want to live anymore?" A sergeant lay on the ground and cursed secretly. It was obvious that it was not a target that could be won by physical courage. The soldiers were all flesh and blood, what they needed now. It should be heavy firepower.
"You cowards! It's not for army soldiers! Get up..." Lieutenant Nakamura ran to a soldier angrily, kicking the infantry on the shoulder hard, and the poor recruit clung to his head and let his boss impose it. Violent, but extremely firm lying there, refusing to get up.
At this moment, the parallel machine guns on the armored vehicles began to fire again. This round of long burst shots were very accurate. From a certain angle, this shooting saved the survivors of the Nakamura Division and the poor soldier. Lieutenant Nakamura was hit with six bullets immediately, his head and the entire upper body were torn apart, and the corpse fell to the side of the second-class soldier.
"Ah!" The young soldier was smeared with thick blood and brain. He screamed like a girl, then jumped up, turned his face and ran towards the starting position.
"Retreat! The whole team retreat!" Ono Cao shouted loudly. According to military regulations, he has now obtained the command of the Nakamura squad. Ono, who was dissatisfied with the recklessness of the ensign, was relieved at this time, although the commander The problem of responsibility after the death is more troublesome, but for Ono, who is experienced in the military, there is some room for manipulation.
Under the leadership of Ono, the surviving soldiers of the Nakamura team quickly withdrew to the starting position. The Japanese soldiers retreated so resolutely and decisively. No one even cared about the corpses of their comrades in arms, letting them lie down on the ground. The first Japanese assault ended in failure.
Although the enemy’s attack was repelled, the Powell’s 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 long distances. . The injury of the carriage actually aroused the blood of several SSs, since the superiors ordered him to stay. If that is the case, then it is for the honor of the SS to fight to the end. The armored vehicle turned slowly. The strongest front armor was facing the Japanese position, and the turret was turned back to the front. Powell also closed the top anti-grenade net cover, preparing to fight the Japanese to the death.
The next battle became a long-distance shooting time for both sides. The Japanese army took advantage of their firepower and began to fire on the German armored vehicles to prevent further actions of the armored vehicles. They are waiting for the heavy fire support from the rear to arrive, and then take down this stubborn target in one fell swoop.
The fiasco of the Nakamura unit almost blasted Captain Kuno, who was happily making a small calculation. After hearing Cao Ono's report, he realized that the opponent was not a target that could be easily captured. In desperation, he could only truthfully report the fighting situation to Morimoto and request the assistance of the brigade, but he still kept a hand, only that he needed the support of a 92 type heavy machine gun team. The remaining work of the 12th Squadron can be completed independently.
While waiting for the arrival of the heavy machine gun, Kuno was not idle either. He ran to the front and carefully observed the opponent. Captain Kuno squatted behind a rock, cautiously showing only one head, holding a telescope in his hand and looking at the armored vehicle in the distance, only to find details that were not mentioned in the previous report.
"What logo is that?"
The hull of the blue-gray armored car was already scarred by bullets, although there was no substantial penetration damage. But the armor plate has been pitted, and the paint and coating have become mottled. After looking up and down carefully, Kuno found that there was no China's blue sky and white Japanese military emblem on the car body. On the contrary, there was a small black double-edged axe-shaped logo under the front armor. There seemed to be two letters, too far away. It's hard to see clearly. The white license plate is a pattern that has never been seen before. It starts with the Nanban letter ss. Is it a new unit of the China Army?
In fact, the side of the car near the rear part of the car is still painted with the German low-recognition white hollow cross logo, but along the way, it was partially blocked by dust and mud, but even if it was seen by Japanese soldiers, They can’t recognize it with their insights. They may know the famous black and white crusade emblem of the German team, but the latest hollow cross of the German army consisting of four white right-angled fold lines, the Japanese soldiers can only kneel and say Smith Masai.
In the end, Hisano lost the last chance to redeem this tragedy, and sent his squadron and even the entire group on the road to Huangquan. Hisano decided to put continuous pressure on the target before the support of the brigade arrived. At this moment, he still had the hope that he might be able to solve the opponent alone. So this broken squadron, with only one and a half squadrons left, mobilized all available weapons and launched rounds of attacks against the armored vehicles parked on the road.
Powell was still able to give color to the opponent at first, but then the small armored car was caught in a rain of bullets that it could hardly resist. In addition to rifles and light machine guns, the armored car was shot at the car. The 50mm cast iron grenade that the crew threatened the most. Because the top of the armored car’s turret was open and covered with only a steel wire mesh, it only needed one such small grenade to hit the roof of the car, and Powell and his men would die immediately. Fortunately, this kind of thing has not really happened yet.
The most dangerous grenade hit the front armor plate of the car. This is the closest Powell and the others have been to death in this battle. Germany's excellent material craftsmanship and bulletproof design are shown here. Power, apart from leaving a large scar on the turret and the driver’s window armor cover, it did not cause any more damage to the car. The crew members only received a strong shock because they had worn them before. With the headset on, a few people were still awake, but they were scared.
However, as the war became fierce, taking into account the consumption of ammunition, the frequency of counterattacks of armored vehicles began to gradually decrease. After getting a bullet at close range, the gunner was hit by a bullet penetrating the top of the turret. The Japanese apparently discovered this defensive weakness of the armored vehicle and began to use the rifle to conduct parabolic ballistics at a long distance. Beyond shooting.
No longer staying in place and being beaten, Powell ordered the driver to launch the armored vehicle to slowly retreat along the road, while using machine guns and coaxial machine guns to blast at the Japanese positions~IndoMTL.com~ trying to interfere with the enemy's shooting. At this moment, the Japanese army's position rang out with the rhythmic sound of 92 heavy machine guns, and the Japanese army's heavy firepower finally arrived. The steel-core armor-piercing projectile fired by the heavy machine gun fired a spark on the steel plate of the armored vehicle. The thin layer of armor was finally overwhelmed and penetrated one after another. The driver Chuck’s legs and waist were severely injured, and he collapsed. In the driver's seat, he lost the ability to continue driving the vehicle. The frontal armor of the turret was also pierced. Powell and the gunner could only hide in the stern of the machine gun and use a strong mount to resist the bullet attack.
Discovering that the opponent had stopped fighting back, Kuno personally commanded the remaining Japanese troops to launch an assault on the armored vehicle again. Powell's car crew was already in danger at this time.
But when the Japanese army swarmed toward the lonely armored car, suddenly there was a dull sound of machine guns from the other side of the road, and then four light whips made of tracer bombs drew into the Japanese army viciously. In the offensive queue.
