Chapter 111 The Battle of Shanghai (31)

"Dadada" Ten arrogant chariots lined up in a row, marching while spitting out flames. Bullets flew over the frontier positions like whirlwinds. The brothers from the Second Battalion of the 38th Regiment who had entered the trenches in advance could not raise their heads. The turret of a Type 89 tank turned, raised its fifty-seven-mm main gun, aimed at a heavy machine gun position that was shooting and suddenly spit out a dazzling fireball.

The shell landed accurately on the Maxim heavy machine gun position and exploded. Maxim's heavy gun body suddenly shook with the flames, and separated from the bracket and rolled down from the trench. The machine gunner and ammunition hand were thrown into the air by a huge impact force, and then turned into two bloody corpses.

Then the turret continued to look for the target and finally aimed at a Czech light machine gun that was spitting out flames, and shot another heart-wrenching fireball.

With a loud "boom", the Czech machine gun and the heads of the machine gunner were thrown into the air, and shrapnel that penetrated the machine gunner's body was inserted into the hot soil.

"The iron coffin is too arrogant." Cheng Dean, who was lying in the trenches, spitting out the dirt in his mouth and cursing. The brigade commander stepped forward to his regiment command headquarters, and he could only go to the frontier position and personally command the first battalion's operations.

Since the mortar has been suppressed by the 1992 Infantry guns, it cannot pose a threat to the Neon Army tanks at all. The machine gun fire points on the frontier positions have been destroyed by these tanks.

The simple flammable bombs that just sent can turn these iron coffins into crematoriums, but the Japanese tanks were two hundred meters away and they could not get close to them at all.

"Boom" another loud bang, and the Japanese tank gun once again hit a Maxim heavy machine gun position not far from Cheng De'an. The violent explosion exploded the heavy machine gun into two sections and flew into the air and then torn it into pieces. The heavy machine gunman's upper body was thrown into the air with the machine gun, and his hands were tightly holding the machine gun handle.

The deputy shooter next to him died on the spot. Shields penetrated his helmet, and white brains were flowing everywhere, sharp shrapnel splashing everywhere, and several nearby soldiers were either dead or injured.

"Damn, Huang Likui, organize a platoon, each of them brings two molten bottles and immediately hide in the trench in front. Wait until the Japanese tanks approach and blow me up." Cheng Dean came out of the floating soil and shouted in anger.

When he learned that the Japanese had a chariot brigade assisted, Cheng Dean immediately organized soldiers to dig an anti-tank trench about 100 meters in front of the front line. However, due to the tight time, the Japanese launched an attack before the completion.

Shen Xiuwen stood in the cover of the frontier command of the 38th Regiment, observing the Japanese attack with a telescope expressionlessly. The Japanese tanks pose a great threat to the machine gun fire points on the frontier positions and caused great casualties. However, Shen Xiuwen did not order the six M2 Browning heavy machine guns hidden in the rear wing bunker of the frontier positions to fire. Facing the frontal armor of the Japanese tank, the m2 armor-piercing shells were not very effective, and the premature exposure of the target would lead to the Japanese's dense artillery suppression.

With the cover of tanks, the infantry of the Neon Army became even more arrogant and shouted: "Onboard, onboard." They rushed towards the front line.

"Fire." Cheng Dean, who dared not let the Japanese rush too close, issued an order to fire.

All the firepower was fired at once, nearly four hundred mid-term rifles, fifty or sixty Galand rifles and submachine guns, as well as the remaining dozen light machine guns and four heavy machine guns formed an airtight firepower net, which swept like a whirlwind to the Japanese who were about to rush to the edge of the trench.

The Japanese caught off guard screamed and fell down like they were cutting wheat. Bullets hit the tank's armor and sparked. The Japanese behind them were splashing and fell down to fight back. The tanks that were originally parked at 200 meters to clear the machine gun fire point began to move again, and the machine guns on the tank frantically shot firepower suppressing the trenches.

The Japanese light and heavy machine gunners following the rifleman also quickly fell down at this time, setting up crooked handles and ninety-two machine guns to sprinkle bullets at the defending positions. The Japanese grenade launcher fired the bullets and threw grenades to the front positions. The Japanese grenade launcher threatened very much. Many grenades were accurately shot into the trenches, and balls of flames rose up. The prefabricated shrapnel caused great casualties to the Chinese soldiers who were shooting. Many people were directly beaten into hornets by the splashed shrapnel.

The firepower in the trenches was suppressed, and Chen Xiuwen quickly ordered the m2 Browning heavy machine gun in the bunker on the second-line position to fire to suppress the Japanese grenade launchers and light and heavy machine guns.

The heavy machine gunners in the bunker were anxious to see the brothers in the front-line positions being suppressed by the powerful firepower of the Japanese. Hearing a command, the six m2s roared at the same time, and the 12.7 mm bullets rushed towards the Japanese grenade launcher positions like arrows, the light and heavy machine gun positions, and the Japanese infantry who had just stood up and prepared to start charging again when they saw the firepower of the Chinese national team being suppressed.

The power of this bullet is far from comparable to that of Maxim's 7.92mm bullet. The terrifying lethality made the first time that the Japanese who saw a heavy machine gun had a vicious spirit. Often, a bullet drilled a hole the size of a bowl on the person in front and drilled into the body of the person behind. If several bullets were hit in succession, the person would be directly interrupted.

Since these six heavy machine guns were hidden in the bunker, the Japanese artillery fire did not react for the time being, but the tanks in front of them could see clearly. Several shells were fired at the bunker in succession, but neither the 37 cannons on the Type 95 light tank or the 57 cannons on the Type 89 medium tank could do anything to the m2 heavy machine gun in the bunker.

The tanker had to use a machine gun to suppress and cover while accelerating the speed of advance, trying to approach the shooting hole of the bunker, and directly bombard the bunker at close range to destroy it.

The tank crushed towards the first trench, and the officers and soldiers lurking in the trench with the moor bottles held their breath, and they didn't even dare to emit one of them.

"Attention! Listen to the sound to judge the distance between the Japanese tanks!" The second company commander, who was personally leading the team, ordered in a low voice.

The Japanese tanks were crushing towards the front-line positions with murderous intent. The tank soldiers did not notice at all, and there was an unfinished trench ahead of them.

Just as the tank was about to approach, the second company commander shouted: "Submit!"

The soldiers poked their heads out of the ditch and threw the molten bottle that had just lit the cloth strip at the Neon Army tank. "Bang bang" the glass bottle hit the tank and smashed it into pieces, but the gasoline mixed with white sugar was extremely sticky and absorbed on the tank's iron sheet like a gecko. The fire on the cloth strip directly ignited the gasoline. The tank that was hit suddenly caught fire.

One gasoline bottle after another fell on the neon army tank like rain. Soon the flames licked became a piece of fire, surrounding the tank. The tank was as hot as an oven. What's more serious is that the ammunition in the tank might explode at any time! The Japanese tank hands could no longer stay there, and they crawled out of the tanks that were igniting the fire. But as soon as they came out of the hatch, they were knocked to the ground by bullets that rushed towards raindrops.

"I killed the Japanese tank! I killed the Japanese tank!" A recruit was so proud that he poked his head out of the trench and danced. But he didn't notice at all, and there were six tanks behind the four burning tanks that rushed in the front! Before he could be happy enough, a string of machine gun bullets had already knocked the recruit's head into a bloody mist.

Seeing an ambush in front, his own tank was ignited, and the tanks behind him no longer dared to move forward. They reversed and continued to suppress the frontier positions with tank guns and machine guns.

"Damn it, don't let the Japanese tanks run away." The second company commander shouted and picked up a bundle of cluster grenades that had been prepared and jumped up. At the same time, more than a dozen soldiers hugged the cluster grenades or held the mobs to jump out of the trench, and rushed towards the Japanese tanks that were reversing.

The Japanese tanks and infantry lying behind discovered the intentions of the Chinese soldiers. The dense bullets fell on the front, back and left and right of the Chinese soldiers, causing flying sand and stones to spread the ground. Some were shot and fell, while others were injured, but they continued to rush towards the turtle shell spitting out. The brothers who rushed out fell one by one in pool of blood. The Japanese tanks were still retreating and fired, making the road for the warriors to charge longer. When one of the soldiers who rushed in the front was holding a moor bottle and preparing to smash the Japanese tank, a bullet flew over and hit the gasoline bottle in his hand. The spilled gasoline immediately turned him into a fireman, and he screamed loudly.

Cheng Dean, who had been watching these warriors nervously, heard the creepy scream, endured the grief in his heart, picked up the rifle in his hand, aimed at the soldier and pulled the trigger.

"The infantry that suppresses the Japanese." Cheng De'an shouted loudly.
