Chapter 223 The Japs’ suicide charge couldn’t stop the tanks!
After all the Japanese artillery were withdrawn, the pressure on the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division defending Chidong County was suddenly relieved a lot.
This strange phenomenon was also reported to Zhou Weimin by Wang Dali, Liu Feng, Sun Hu and others.
"Humph, these devils are still trying to make a last-ditch effort. Tonight I must keep them all outside Chidong County."
"Send a message to the armored forces, tell them to get ready, the Japs are sending artillery to stop them."
"Also, have the armored forces quickly deal with the Japanese artillery. Come over here as soon as possible to end this battle."
Zhou Weimin said as he looked at the telegrams sent by Wang Dali, Liu Feng, Sun Hu and others in his hand.
In fact, Zhou Weimin was well aware of all the actions of the Japanese at this moment, because he had already sent people to lurk among the Japanese.
The battlefield is now completely under Zhou Weimin's control, and he is confident that he can end the battle within two hours.
"Commander, I think this is our chance. This opportunity was created for us by the devils."
"Now that the Japanese have mobilized all their artillery, can we fight back?"
After hearing what Zhou Weimin said, Wu Qianli thought for a while and then said to Zhou Weimin.
Because Wu Qianli was injured, Zhou Weimin kept him by his side.
"No rush. After the armored forces destroy the Japanese artillery, it will be our time to counterattack the Japanese." Zhou Weimin shook his head slightly and said after hearing this.
"Commander, although the Japanese artillery is small-caliber, it is still artillery after all."
"Can the armored forces really quickly destroy the Japanese artillery?"
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Wu Qianli took a step forward and asked Zhou Weimin in a low voice.
Wu Qianli knew the power of tanks.
However, Wu Qianli did not know the configuration and combat effectiveness of this armored unit.
So Wu Qianli was a little worried that this armored unit would suffer losses.
"Haha, look at the equipment of your guard regiment. Do you think my secret forces' equipment is worse than your guard regiment's?"
"The tanks and armored vehicles equipped by the Armored Forces... are the best in the world today."
"Moreover, this armored force of 6,000 people is composed of veterans, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds yours."
"Not to mention that the Japanese 37th Division is now a remnant, even if it is a complete Japanese division, the armored forces are capable of defeating it in a short time."
"Our Tiger Guards have already won this war."
"Now go and give the artillery the order to cover the enemy's attacking forces with their artillery fire and fire all their shells."
"When the artillery has finished firing, you will send the signal for a counterattack."
"I'll leave this place to you now. I'm going back to Chidong County. Come find me after the battle is over and the statistics are compiled."
Zhou Weimin laughed loudly after hearing Wu Qianli's words, and then slowly spoke to Wu Qianli.
After saying this, he left the command center with a guard squad without waiting for Wu Qianli's reaction.
With the appearance of the armored forces, Zhou Weimin knew that he had won the battle.
Now that the outcome was known, Zhou Weimin was unwilling to stay in the command center.
You know, Zhou Weimin hasn't slept for a day and a night, and he is already a little sleepy.
Not to mention Zhou Weimin returned to Chidong County to sleep.
After receiving Zhou Weimin's order, the armored forces ran into the Japanese artillery.
“Kachaka…Kachaka…”
The machine guns on the armored forces' tanks, armored vehicles, etc. were firing wildly.
Any possible target became the target of their shooting.
Many Japanese soldiers had white cloth tied on their heads and rushed towards tanks and armored vehicles with explosives in their hands.
This is the Japanese suicide unit.
However, the armored forces had too many machine guns and their firepower was too strong, so these Japanese suicide troops could not get close to the tanks and armored vehicles at all.
"Baga, Baga, another team goes up, if there are no explosive packs, use grenades..." The Japanese captain gave orders loudly.
Then the order was given, and many Japanese soldiers crouched down and ran towards a bunker not far away.
This bunker is where the Japanese stored grenades and explosive packs.
The Japanese used cloth strips to tie five or six Type 98 wooden-handled grenades together, or tied them directly to their bodies, and then rushed out one by one without caring about their lives.
Of course, there were some Japanese soldiers who did not want to die, but these Japanese soldiers would be shot dead by the Japanese squad leader.
"Baga, Baga, you are the warriors of the empire, you are on a journey to become heroes..."
"Crawl forward, put grenades under the tracks of the tanks, put explosive packs under the tracks of the tanks..."
"Rush out later, but don't rush straight ahead. Jump along the craters and crawl forward..."
"As long as you successfully destroy the Chinese tanks, you will be heroes, and your mothers and brothers and sisters will be proud of you..."
The squad leader shouted loudly at the suicide troops, and then stuffed a bomb into a younger Japanese soldier's hand.
The young Japanese soldier's face was pale, his legs were trembling, and sweat was pouring down his forehead.
In the eyes of this young Japanese soldier, using explosive packs and grenades to blow up tanks is tantamount to seeking death.
But looking at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the ground who were unwilling to die, he gritted his teeth and rushed out.
As soon as the young Japanese soldier rushed out, he found a bomb crater to hide in. He was scared and regretted rushing out.
Of course, it was this action that delayed his death.
The young Japanese soldier looked at the tanks that were getting closer and closer. He knew that he was doomed. Since he was going to die, why was he afraid?
So the young Japanese soldier observed the tank when it was five or six meters away from him.
The young Japanese soldier suddenly jumped out, rushed towards the tank, and used all his strength to eject the explosive pack.
Unfortunately, the young Japanese soldier was too nervous and missed the target, causing the explosive pack to explode on the right side of the tank.
And at the moment the bomb exploded.
The machine gun on the tank fired, and the young Japanese soldier was shot into a sieve, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The Japanese artillery and suicide troops could not stop the advance of the Tiger Guard Division's armored forces.
Amidst the deafening roar of the motor, the tank rolled past.
Those suicide troops who tried to attack the tanks with explosive packs and grenades were shot to pieces by the machine guns of the tanks and armored vehicles.
The Japanese artillery was also blasted into the air by the tanks, and of course the armored forces also lost seven or eight tanks and armored vehicles.
After all, the Japanese artillerymen didn't care about exposing their positions and were determined to fight to the death.
Unfortunately, the Japanese artillery now are all small-caliber artillery, and these small-caliber artillery have limited damage to the heavy tanks of the Tiger Guard Division.
