Chapter 67: Forced into a big pit
Just before the Japanese infantrymen who were only a dozen meters away from the tank.
The 17mm thick armor of the 89 tank was torn apart by a 20mm machine gun like paper.
At least two shells left holes as big as eggs on the front armor of the 89 tank. The rolled steel plate proved the strength of the kinetic energy of the machine gun shells within a distance of 500 meters.
Of course, this is just a scar on the surface, and the most terrifying damage is actually in the tank.
The powerful kinetic energy of the 20mm machine gun shell is enough to support the warhead after penetrating the thin steel plate, and it can also cause a bloody storm in the narrow tank cab.
The tank driver died at the first time. Although a warhead that penetrated the steel plate and was seriously twisted did not hit him head-on, the debris of the steel plate that was crushed by the kinetic energy of the shell was splashed at no less than that of the bullet, and almost all sprayed on the front of the tank driver wearing a tank cap.
It was like being hit on the front by a sledgehammer. Although the entire head did not explode immediately, it was definitely the kind of face with seven orifices.
Seven or eight bloody holes suddenly appeared on a person's face. Not to mention night, they could scare people to death even during the day.
The death of Japanese tank drivers may not be very sad for other tank members. They are sweating on their foreheads and their hearts are beating like drums. How can they have time to care about others?
Tragically, the dead tank driver was still on the accelerator, and the rudder was still crooked.
The Type 89 tank drew a perfect arc similar to drift and crashed into the ruins where Japanese infantrymen were hiding in various MMPs.
Damn your uncle... the Japanese infantry cried.
Most of them reacted very quickly. When the tank hit, they fled like a small quail that had exploded in a nest. Except for a few unlucky guys, they basically did not become meat muffins at the scene of the car accident.
However, the tank tragically exposed its weaker side armor. What's even more tragic is that the 89 tank is not that awesome. After hitting two walls in a row, it fell into bed...
A desperate wail sounded from the tank, and the Japanese lord pushed open the hatch door on the top frantically, trying to escape.
Unfortunately, he was still too slow.
Another ten shells roared forward and backward, smashing the ruins into dust. Three consecutive shells penetrated in succession. The high temperature rise of the shells continuously and violently rubbed against the steel plates instantly increased the temperature in the cockpit to Baidu.
The blood spurted out by the tank driver who died a few seconds ago was burned on the steel plates in the bulkhead, and the stored tank gun shells also exploded.
In the eyes of the Japanese infantry, the tank that almost took them away collectively was like a volcano that was about to erupt in his hometown. First, thick smoke came out of the car, and then a brilliant and earth-shaking explosion.
The explosion of dozens of 57mm tank cannon shells even exploded the 12.7-ton behemoth to more than two meters above the ground, and then fell down fiercely.
The turret full of rivets led the Japanese stern with half of his body to fly up to the sky, which was more than ten meters high and then landed hard on the battlefield dozens of meters away.
They didn't know if there was that unlucky guy who was hit by this thing because of the bad luck. What they knew was that the terrible explosion wave had just rolled away a few companions who had just escaped from the collision of the track and the car body for more than ten meters.
Looking at their obedient appearance after landing, I know that they may not have to complain about the damn wet weather in China in the future.
"Damn it, where is the artillery squadron?" Toyota Hide was almost incoherent in frightened. "Order the artillery squadron to fire the artillery immediately and kill the Chinese machine guns."
After a while, the combat staff answered him with some difficulty: "Captain Toyota, according to regulations, our infantry is within 200 meters of the opponent's position and cannot be bombarded..."
Seeing the 89 tank where Major Tokugawa was located was chased by two machine guns and turned into a torch, the Japanese Grandpa was cold all over, even if the victory seemed to be on his side.
Although the two machine guns were very strong, tanks were not their opponents if they had enough geographical advantages, but this was not enough to affect the entire battle situation.
Half of the infantry squadron has rushed into the building, and the two infantry squadrons have also reached within 200 meters. If nothing unexpected happens, the battlefield will be transferred to the inside of the building in three minutes.
However, the Japanese lieutenant still had a pale face.
"Baga! We're fooled."
Toyota Hide finally realized that the guilt that he had just felt was not unreasonable. Since the captain of the regiment used the "shocking the snake" offered by Yin Teng-Chunji, the Chinese used tricks.
The machine gun was not blown up, and it was actually not scary to hide a machine gun. What was terrible is that the other commander endured it until the last two 89 tanks appeared before putting out the machine gun. It was clearly the idea of killing the tank that poses the greatest threat to the warehouse building in one fell swoop.
There is no doubt that at least so far, the other party's tolerance has been successful.
Watching two machine guns that exploded a Type 89 tank and then chasing another tank that fled wildly, Toyota Hiroshi knew that eight out of ten, that tank could not escape.
As for the two 89 tanks that had reached 100 meters in the warehouse? The Japanese Grandmaster, who was very smart, also turned around in an instant. They were all dishes from other people's bowls, no matter whether you were moving forward or backward.
What's even more tragic is that the two closest 89 tanks are not threatening to the machine guns on the roof, even if they want to violate military orders and shoot them on the roof.
The key is that they can't do it!
The elevation angle of the tank turret is not like that of the cannon. Due to the mechanical structure of the tank, it is already amazing to be able to slightly increase the muzzle and hit the second floor, let alone a height of 25 meters.
No matter how vigorous the machine guns were, they could only stare at them, and then think about how to escape by themselves.
Positioning your butt at the machine cannon at full speed may be the stupidest tactic. It is wise to turn the front of the car and retreat to both wings or simply continue to move forward into the dead corner of the machine cannon.

Of course, the Japanese Grand Secretary would not eat carrots and worry about the life and death of the tank soldiers. He was obviously more worried about his two and a half-infantry squadrons. If they finished playing, he, the captain of the major, would probably end up being the end.
It’s not that the vicious corps captain wants to remove him from his post, but, what if his subordinates have no soldiers?
However, with the arrow on the string, it is impossible to withdraw, even if he has already smelled the strong smell of conspiracy.
Captain Koizumi, the commander of the Japanese front line, should have thought so. He was planning to order the entire army to move tactically to about 150 meters away from the building and started charging at full speed when he heard the sound of machine guns and shells tearing into the sky.
Looking back with a pale face, he was blocked by the ruins, but only half a minute later, a loud noise from behind him made him know that some unlucky guy was shot by a machine gun.
Then, the four tanks in front were like fertilized deer, quickly mobilizing the front of the car to run wildly towards the wings, without any idea of continuing to cover the infantry.
Although they knew that their decision was right, the Japanese captain still angrily scolded the eight generations of ancestors of the idiots in the chariot squadron. What about the promised Imperial Army integration? Have you defected to the navy's horse manure?
However, no matter what choice the armored soldiers choose, the infantry only have two options: advance or retreat.
Although Koizumi Lingcheng was cautious, he was never cowardly. He knew very well that no matter what tricks the defenders in the warehouse were playing, if one force was to surrender ten times, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies were just false.
Therefore, the Japanese infantry queue, which originally needed to maintain its strength and then move forward for 50 meters, was the horn of the charge.
The main Japanese infantry force entered a full-speed charge from 200 meters away.
That is the decisiveness of rather spending a lot of physical energy and rather paying a higher price for casualties than attacking the building in one fell swoop.
Extremely decisive.
However, from the Japanese Grandmaster to the Japanese Captain, I didn't see the coldness in the eyes of the Chinese commander behind the observation of the Hole on the fourth floor of the warehouse.
