Chapter 220 The Japanese regiment commander and division commander died one after another!
The Japanese anti-tank team leader was not sure whether he could destroy the Tiger Guard Division's heavy tanks with a single shot using a rapid-fire gun.
However, the heavy tanks of the Tiger Guard Division were getting closer and closer, so the leader of the Japanese anti-tank team still gave the order to fire.
Following the order from the Japanese team leader, the Japanese anti-tank gunner immediately opened fire, and only a muffled bang was heard.
The high-speed flying shells hit the side of the Tiger Guard Division's heavy tank.
"Baga, you missed, reload quickly!" the Japanese team leader cursed angrily.
Following the order of the Japanese team leader, the Japanese loader stuffed another shell into the barrel.
"Fire!"
The Japanese team leader gave the order to shoot without hesitation, and this time hit the heavy tank of the Tiger Guard Division.
The moment the Tiger Guards' heavy tank was hit, a cloud of black smoke and flashes erupted, and then the tank stopped moving forward.
"吆西!"
When the Japanese team leader in the bomb crater saw this scene, an expression of excitement appeared on his face.
"Originally, these tanks only looked large, but were actually no different from Vickers light tanks."
"A single shot from the Type 94 rapid-fire gun can also destroy these tanks."
The Japanese team leader looked at the tank lying there motionless and murmured in his heart.
But just when the Japanese team leader was excited and proud.
The tank that was hit by the Type 94 rapid-fire gun suddenly emitted a puff of black smoke from its rear end, and then the entire tank shook and started moving again.
"Baga...quick, aim again..." the Japanese team leader cursed loudly.
But at this moment.
A wave of hot air blew in my face, and only a series of clanging sounds were heard.
This is the sound of machine gun fire hitting the steel shield of the Type 94 rapid-fire gun.
Fortunately, the Japanese soldiers were hiding behind the steel shield of the Type 94 rapid-fire gun, otherwise they would have been shot by the machine gun on the armored vehicle.
"Baga, fire, fire quickly." The Japanese team leader gave the order quickly.
As the Japanese team leader gave the order, the gunner fired immediately, and only a muffled sound was heard.
A cloud of black smoke spurted out of the muzzle of the Type 94 rapid-fire gun, and the gun body suddenly retreated.
Unfortunately, the firing was too hasty and the shells did not hit the heavy tank in front.
"Team leader...we didn't hit it...what should we do?" The Japanese private first class stuck his head out to look ahead and said to the Japanese team leader.
"Baga, reload the gun quickly... aim again..." The team leader ignored the corporal and gave orders quickly.
Unfortunately, the two artillery attacks by this anti-tank team had completely exposed their position.
So when this anti-tank team was about to fire for the third time, the tank in front opened fire.
"boom!"
The first shell did not hit the anti-tank team, but instead kicked up a large cloud of dirt nearby.
But then the second shell came and hit the anti-tank team.
Accompanied by a huge explosion, the anti-tank team was blown into the air.
Even the Type 94 rapid-fire gun was blown to pieces.
"Attention, attention...Everyone, pay attention, don't go on the diameter, pay attention to the anti-tank guns."
"The armored vehicles retreat, and the tanks continue to advance. The Japanese anti-tank guns are not a big threat to our tanks."
"The Japanese are very cunning. Their anti-tank guns are deployed very secretly. We must be extremely careful."
"Especially pay attention to some small mounds and shell holes..."
"Machine gunners, focus on sweeping these small mounds and shell holes... Don't be afraid to waste ammunition, we have plenty."
The voice of the battalion commander was heard from all the tanks and armored vehicles in the vanguard of the armored regiment.
After several tanks were hit, the battalion commander knew where the Japanese anti-tank weapons were hidden.
Following the words of the armored regiment's battalion commander.
All the tanks and machine gunners on the armored vehicles began to focus their fire on the small mounds and shell holes...
The tanks also began to focus on shelling the small mounds and shell holes...
Under this attack, the Japanese anti-tank team was quickly wiped out.
Even if a few Japanese anti-tank teams were missed, it would not affect the overall situation.
The 67th Regiment's anti-tank team's blocking efforts did not have much effect, nor did it stop the armored regiment's advance.
After the Japanese anti-tank team failed, the Japanese could only rely on infantry to stop them.
But how can infantry stop tanks!
Therefore, the Japanese were not successful in their attempts to stop the enemy, even when they carried explosive packs and launched suicide attacks.
After all, tanks and armored vehicles have one or two heavy machine guns.
With such dense firepower, the Japanese suicide squad couldn't get close to the tanks and armored vehicles at all.
Especially after the arrival of the main armored regiment, the Japanese were completely unable to stop the armored regiment's advance.
You have to know that this 6,000-man armored regiment has more than just tanks and armored vehicles, it also has Tornado anti-aircraft self-propelled artillery...
These weapons are like a sledgehammer to overwhelm the enemy infantry when used against them.
The Japanese soldiers of the 67th Regiment died in large numbers under the attack of these weapons.
After the armored regiment advanced.
The entire land was littered with the broken limbs and arms of the Japanese soldiers, and it was difficult to find a complete body among them.
In order to protect the division commander, Takeshi Araiida, the commander of the 67th Regiment was also shot to pieces by machine guns.
The division commander, Takeshi Arai, was also seriously injured, with several bullet holes in his body. It was obvious that he would not survive.
This was mainly because the armored regiment advanced too fast.
Often, just as the division commander, Takeshi Arai, received the news, the armored regiment had already achieved a new victory.
So before the division commander, Takeshi Arai, the commander of the 67th Regiment, could react, the armored regiment had already arrived at their headquarters.
At this time, the division commander, Takeshi Arai, the commander of the 67th Regiment, could no longer evacuate.
Therefore, the division commander, Takeshi Arai, and the commander of the 67th Regiment had no choice but to launch a suicide charge.
With the deaths of the Japanese 37th Division's Chief of Staff Kazuya Ikegami and Division Commander Takeshi Araiida, the two highest commanders died one after another.
The Japanese 37th Division was doomed to fail and collapse.
Because the armored regiment was about to reach the battlefield outside Chidong County, it was divided into four teams and began to head towards the four battlefields outside Chidong County.
And the reinforcements of the Tiger Guard Division arrived.
The news that the Tiger Guards' reinforcements had defeated the 67th Regiment had already been known to the Japanese by the Tiger Guards fighting outside Chidong County.
After all, there were so many gunshots.
The miserable screams and groans of so many wounded Japanese soldiers had already reached the battlefield outside Chidong County.
