"Boom!"
The Japanese soldiers had just evacuated their position when a row of artillery shells hit them hard.
A large cloud of smoke rose from the entire area, which was also mixed with shattered chariot components.
Even a main battle tank 70 years later will be very miserable if hit by a 150mm high-explosive grenade, let alone a tank during World War II.
The Japanese army finished a salvo, and the Type 92 infantry artillery fired a follow-up round.
Just twenty seconds later, another row of large-caliber high-explosive grenades fell on the deserted defensive position, creating huge craters. Two "Sherman" tanks were hit by the shells at close range and directly destroyed the road wheels. In place.
"Japanese heavy artillery! Extended shooting!"
The U.S. military commander shouted urgently, and artillery pieces of two calibers immediately launched bombardments in the distance.
The heavy artillery of the Japanese army dropped more than a dozen large-caliber shells at one time. It was a terrifying force and it was so accurate. The speed of the modified tanks dropped and they were completely unable to maneuver quickly. If they were covered by several rounds, more than a dozen tanks would be destroyed.
The U.S. artillery combat unit re-adjusted its firing. The Japanese army's twelve Taisho 4th-year-old 150mm field guns have completed nine salvos and projected more than 100 shells to designated positions.
Eleven "Sherman" tanks were shattered into pieces amidst the roar, completely blocking the tanks behind them.
A cluster charge can naturally form a powerful attack force, but once the tanks in front are destroyed in large numbers, the tanks behind will immediately have to adjust their direction and choose a new impact route.
Any slow-moving target will become the target of individual hunting. Japanese soldiers quickly prepared intercepting firepower on the second line of defense. As long as a tank emerges from the smoke and dust, it will immediately launch a volley of intensive firepower.
"Mortar suppression fire! Kill the American soldiers behind!"
Hundreds of U.S. soldiers ran quickly behind the tank group in an attempt to capture the positions abandoned by the Japanese.
Mortar shells suddenly fell from adjacent positions, blasting out an airtight metal storm.
Dozens of bloody corpses appeared on the ground in an instant, and there were wounded people wailing in pain. The Japanese commander could let the US tanks run over the defense line, but not a single soldier behind them could rush up.
Tanks without infantry to accompany them are just moving targets that Japanese soldiers can attack at will.
"Come forward! Team 1!"
A group of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the misty smoke. The Japanese commander was reluctant to continuously fire high-power ammunition and decided to let armed civilians use Molotov cocktails to attack slow-moving targets at close range.
There are craters everywhere on the ground and there are vertical and horizontal trenches that can be used to cover the body. You can jump flexibly to a distance of more than ten meters and then throw a Molotov cocktail to hit the target.
¡°Da da da¡ da da da¡¡±
The machine gun on the US tank fired bullets, and armed civilians fell one after another. Two balls of fire suddenly exploded in the thick smoke. It was obvious that the armed civilians had successfully attacked.
Expenditure of ten armed civilians in exchange for the destruction of two tanks was definitely a suitable exchange in the eyes of the Japanese commander.
"Great! Shoot!"
The Japanese army's second line of defense shot out dense fire, and rockets of various calibers swept towards the American tanks that had rolled over the first line of defense. The first four tanks were hit by large-caliber ammunition and exploded with fireworks. They stopped in place, just blocking the tanks behind them. advancement.
¡¡¡¡
"Very good, use space in exchange for destroying US tanks."
"It's two hundred meters back here, but it can blow up at least forty tanks, and it can also kill and injure hundreds of American soldiers behind it. Are the SWAT soldiers ready?!"
"Ready!"
"Welljust follow the plan!"
Fang Tianlang put down the telescope, and the combat staff quickly sent out combat instructions.
There are five commando soldiers hiding in caves in each of the first line of defense and the soon-to-be-abandoned second line of defense. U.S. soldiers will be swept away by submachine guns after entering the trenches and pay an unexpected price.
The Japanese army abandoned two lines of defense in a row but was able to destroy a large tank group. When the last tank was knocked out, they immediately launched a counterattack to regain at least one line of defense.
The Japanese soldiers continued to retreat, and the number of U.S. tanks that could impact the tanks dropped from the original sixty to only twenty-eight. More than half of the tanks were hit by various ammunition and turned into immovable scrap metal.
"Occupy the position! Occupy the position!"
Hundreds of American soldiers quickly rushed towards the first line of defense abandoned by the Japanese army. Suddenly, dense bullets were fired from the trenches.A soldier from the special commando team raised his submachine gun at the American soldier and quickly emptied a magazine, then hurriedly got into the tunnel and left.
The American soldier was shot at close range and fell to the ground. An even more tragic scene was yet to come.
A wounded Japanese soldier who voluntarily stayed to detonate ammunition heard the sound of American soldiers running, ignited the five kilogram explosive bag in his hand and detonated a 460mm armor-piercing anti-explosive grenade.
"Boom!"
Thousands of square meters are filled with a thick smell of burning explosives.
An infantry squad of the US Army was knocked down by flying shrapnel in an instant and could no longer breathe. All the soldiers had wounds on their bodies and black blood was flowing out.
"Get ready to counterattack. The tanks in front can't hold on anymore. Give up a line of defense in some areas and knock out at least fifty tanks. The more exchanges, the better."
Fang Tianlang turned and left, and the guard soldier next to him put away his periscope and followed behind.
As long as the General returns to the room and guards the soldiers, they can find a place to smoke and chat for a few hours.
¡¡¡¡
The armored fighting vehicle cluster attack launched by the US military came to an end after fifteen minutes.
Sixty modified tanks were all blown up everywhere by Japanese soldiers using various anti-tank tactics.
The U.S. military paid 430 casualties to seize a defensive position, while the Japanese casualties were 62. There are still many deep areas behind them. If the U.S. military keeps fighting with the current casualty ratio, it will at least fall. It takes six to seven hundred thousand people to attack the core area of ??southern Okinawa.
The exchange of fire temporarily came to an end, and the Japanese soldiers waved white flags and demanded the return of the bodies.
In the second trench that was recaptured by the Japanese army, there were more than fifty corpses of American soldiers and two seriously injured people, which were equivalent to chips. It was obviously reasonable to exchange one corpse for a box of beer, a box of cans and a carton of cigarettes.
When returning corpses, Japanese soldiers would follow Fang Tianlang's instructions to pull more than 20 tank wreckages within close range back to the rear, weakening their opponents with each battle and strengthening their own strength. Under the guidance, it completely turned into a "profit-only" army.
The two sides briefly ceased fire, and the Japanese army collected tanks and exchanged corpses for supplies at the same time.
Many US tanks have only had their tracks blown out and can basically be buried underground to serve as fixed turrets. The 76mm artillery has a larger caliber than the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
