Chapter 1829 Long live the charge
Hu Xianqun personally commanded a Churchill infantry tank and served as the guide vehicle.
"Be careful, there are war defense cannons at nine o'clock!" The observer yelled.
Almost as the observer roared, the driver blew the steering wheel violently. The huge body of the Churchill Infantry Tank immediately turned sharply, and the front of the car was facing the direction of nine o'clock.
"Light!" A deafening sound.
Immediately afterwards, the car body vibrated violently.
Hu Xianqun, who was in the cannon position, was immediately shocked and tilted, and his head and body also hit the wall of the car.
If it weren't for wearing a fur hat on his head, just this impact would have caused him to faint directly.
However, even though the vibration was shocked, the Churchill infantry tank was unscathed. The front armor of the front of the vehicle body, which was more than 100mm thick, withstood the Japanese 37mm war defense cannon.
"Damn the Japanese, it's grandpa's turn!"
Hu Xianqun struggled to stand up, shook his head, and quickly put his eyes behind the aiming hole.
Through the aiming hole, Hu Xianqun quickly found and locked the Japanese war defense artillery in the direction of nine o'clock.
I saw several Japanese artillery soldiers reloading the shells in panic and preparing for a second firing, but unfortunately they had no chance.
"Go to die!"
Hu Xianqun growled and pressed the button hard.
"Flat!" Churchill's 95mm caliber main gun let out a low roar.
Immediately afterwards, the entire tank body trembled violently. When Hu Xianqun decided to look at it, he saw that the 37mm-caliber war defense cannon in his field of vision had turned into a dazzling red light.
Just looking at the explosion, Hu Xianqun knew that the war defense cannon was over.
The Japanese artillery detachment responsible for manipulating this war defense artillery was also completely finished.
However, Hu Xianqun had no sympathy in his heart, this was a cruel war.
"Ding Ding Ding Dangdang..." A crisp sound came through the wall of the car, but the machine gun bullet hit the outer wall of the tank.
"There is a Type 92 heavy machine gun in the direction of three points." The observer quickly found the Japanese heavy machine gun hidden in the dark and reported the location to Hu Xianqun.
Hu Xianqun shook his head and said, "Don't worry about him, continue to advance!"
The mission of the tank cluster is to tear open the front in the shortest time, drill through the Japanese defense line, and clear the obstacles to advance for dozens of infantry divisions that followed.
As for sweeping away the Japanese remnants along the way, that was not what their armored cluster should do.
These things should be done by the infantry division that follows up, and they don't need to do anything extra.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Xianqun switched the communication channel to the full brigade channel, and then said to the microphone: "Please pay attention to all regiments, pay attention to all regiments, ignore the remaining Japanese soldiers, ignore the remaining Japanese soldiers, and advance at full speed! Before dark today, you must drill through the Japanese defense line and rush from the left wing to behind the Japanese headquarters of Binmana!"
“The 1st regiment received it!”
“The 3rd group received it!”
“The 5th regiment received it!”
“The 7th regiment received it!”
The responses of the leaders of each group sounded in the communication channel.
Hu Xianqun then switched the communication mode back to the team mode and said to the microphone: "Every car follows closely, pay attention to maintaining the formation, and each car follows closely!"
"Car No. 3, your position is too sudden."
"Car No. 9, you are behind, keep up."
"Car No. 7, there is an infantry cannon on the side of you, kill it!"
While commanding, Hu Xianqun continued to fire artillery as he followed the guidance of his observation hand, destroying one Japanese artillery position after another. The whole process went extremely smoothly.
From beginning to end, there was no decent resistance.
It was not until it broke into the depths of the Japanese 8th Division that an unexpected scene finally appeared.
Thousands of Japanese soldiers were bare-barred, holding bayonet-38 rifles, and screaming and launching a long live charge towards their tank cluster.
"The voyeur, the Japanese are crazy, the Japanese are crazy!"
The observer howled, and he was extremely excited.
"Good come, hahaha!" Hu Xianqun was extremely excited and immediately abandoned the main gun and turned his attention to the front machine gun with a 7.92mm caliber on the vehicle.
"Go to die, the Japanese!"
Hu Xianqun roared and pulled the trigger hard.
"Dadada..." The tank's front machine gun immediately roared excitedly, and then a dazzling tongue of flame whipped over like a whip of death.
Almost at the same time, dozens of tanks following Hu Xianqun's No. 1 car also opened fire at the same time.
Dozens of dazzling flames swept across in an instant, intertwining into a dense firepower net.
Wherever the firepower network passed, the Japanese soldiers who were launching a long live charge fell in line.
However, these Japanese soldiers were indeed brave. The ones in front fell down, while the ones in the back were still brave and continued to charge forward without fear of death, and continued to launch a brave charge towards the tanks of the Chinese army with their flesh and blood.
...
“Onboard!”
"His Majesty the Emperor" is on-board!"
"The Great Japanese Empire has been around for generations!"
Thousands of Japanese soldiers charged at the same time, and the howling sounded across the clouds, and the momentum actually overwhelmed the roar of the entire tank regiment of the National Army.
The commander of the 25th Japanese Army, Mutaguchi Lianmin, saw this tragic scene through the high-resolution artillery mirror of the observation post, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The old Japanese thoughts were immediately brought back to the Lushunkou Fortress during the Russo-Japanese War.
At that time, they were also one division and one division. They launched a tide-like charge against the Russian cannons and heavy machine guns. The soldiers in front fell down, and the soldiers behind did not hesitate to continue charging fearlessly on their companions' bodies.
Although the imperial army made great sacrifices in that battle, it finally achieved the final victory.
Therefore, Mutaguchi Ryomaki also firmly believes that the Imperial Army will also achieve the final victory in this battle today.
At that moment, Mudaguchi Ryok also picked up the microphone and said to Mejiro Umezu on the other end of the phone: "Commander-in-Chief, all the imperial soldiers of the 8th Division have launched a long live charge against the Chinese army. Our entire 25th Army will also follow the footsteps of the 8th Division and live and die with the position. The Chinese army cannot cross the position of the Imperial Army half a step!"
After saying that, before waiting for Umezu Mijiro to speak, Ryo Mudaguchi hung up the phone.
Immediately afterwards, Mutaguchi Ryokan said to the commander behind him: "Order the 1st Guard Division, the 2nd Guard Division and the 18th Division are ready. Once the 8th Division is broken, it will immediately launch a long live charge against the Chinese army in the predetermined order. In any case, the Chinese army's chariot cluster must be dismantled!"
Chief of staff, Kazuji Otsuki, couldn't help but persuade: "Master Commander, we may be able to adopt more flexible tactics, first let the Chinese army's chariot clusters be released, and then stop their infantry clusters."
"Mr. Dayue, you are too naive." Mudaguchi Rikka also shook his head and said tragically, "The Chinese army is not attacking one or two chariot corpses this time, but dozens of chariot corpses. Once such a huge chariot cluster breaks behind the army, it will not only be our 25th Army, but also the entire central cluster and even the entire Myanmar condemnation army will fall into a desperate situation!
