He said confidently, but in his mind he thought of the tank that was penetrated yesterday. They did not find the bullet that penetrated the tank. According to soldiers in the tank, the bullet may have penetrated the interior of the engine.
"Is it a rifle that penetrated the frontal armor of a tank? Is it a coincidence?" Ichiro Sakanishi thought in his mind.
If that¡¯s really the case, wouldn¡¯t their tanks and vehicles become moving targets?
He told Masao Ono what he was thinking, but Masao Ono shook his head and said: "That may be just a coincidence, because the bullet hit the engine exactly, which caused the tank to be paralyzed. And I observed The place where it was penetrated happened to be where two pieces of armor were welded, and the defensive capability was very weak.
If the enemy's heavy machine gun uses armor-piercing bullets, the same effect may be achieved. But that chance is too small. During the Tianjin Guard, the Chinese army had almost no other options when facing our tanks. "
His confidence is certainly not groundless.
In the battle to defend Tianjin, when the Chinese army faced their tanks, they often needed to use entire companies and platoons of soldiers, carrying explosive packs or cluster grenades in their arms, to use their flesh and blood to resist the bullets of their tanks' heavy machine guns. , trying to blow up their tanks.
Although Masao Ono admired the courage of those Chinese soldiers who were willing to face death, he knew very well that such primitive combat methods were not enough to shake his tank brigade.
These words of Masao Ono gave Ichiro Sakanishi some confidence.
He patted Masao Ono on the shoulder with a serious tone and said: "Your Excellency, Major, I will get rid of you this time."
After saying that, he turned around and roared at the team captains and squadron leaders belonging to the 59th Wing: "Take the whole city! Long live the Emperor!"
When the captains heard this, they immediately raised their hands and shouted: "Onboard!! (Long live Japanese)"
The Japanese tank brigade began to spread out in front of the North City Gate. At the same time, they also sent two Japanese squadrons at the East City Gate to threaten the East City Gate all over the city.
This forced the Chinese troops all over the city to not easily transfer the troops stationed at the East Gate to the North Gate.
Xia Yang stood in front of the gate tower of the North City Gate, watching the Japanese tanks less than two kilometers away from them, driving towards them little by little.
About two kilometers away, these tanks stopped. Xia Yang knew that these tanks were waiting for the long-range artillery of the Japanese 14th Division to suppress fire on the city.
"Everyone, leave the city and enter the air-raid shelter! Observers within the city walls remain vigilant and report the location of the Japanese troops at any time." Xia Yang said loudly.
The soldiers at the North City Gate immediately began to move equipment and ammunition and evacuate the city.
They had just withdrawn more than halfway when the Japanese shelling began.
The Japanese artillery shells were randomly scattered on the top of Xia Yang and the others as if they were free of charge.
Some soldiers who had no time to retreat to the air defense channels were bombarded by falling artillery shells and turned into pieces. The scene was quite tragic.
The Japanese artillery fire was extremely intensive, almost carpet bombing the North Gate. Not only at the North City Gate, but all areas in the city close to the North City Gate were within the bombing range of Japanese artillery.
Their artillery shells covered almost every inch of land in this area, and some Japanese artillery shells would even continue to fall on the craters left by some shells, making the craters deeper.
The burned black soil was lifted into the air with the huge impact of the cannonball. Then it fell on the ground like raindrops.
This shelling lasted for at least fifteen minutes, and the intensive sound of artillery gradually became sparse.
The moment the bombardment stopped, Xia Yang immediately took the lead and rushed out of the air raid shelter, leading his soldiers to start running towards the city wall.
But when he reached the city wall, what he saw in front of him was bursts of smoke.
In order to cover the advance of the tanks, the little devils not only used fierce divisional artillery support firepower, but also released a large number of smoke bombs on the frontal battlefield.
In the diffuse smoke, the soldiers hid behind the Japanese tanks and moved little by little toward the walls of the city.
As soon as Xia Yang looked at the scene, he immediately asked He Changxing's trebuchet to start firing napalm bombs.
He Changxing will naturally not hesitate??, but the firing distance of napalm bombs is almost fixed. If the weight of the launched napalm bomb is changed at will, the accuracy of its launch will be greatly affected.
The trebuchet began to fire continuously into the smoke at this time.
A blazing line of fire began to cover the Japanese charging route bit by bit.
But the range of this line of fire is about three hundred meters, for the Japanese troops who have entered this range. Napalm is really powerless.
Faintly, Xia Yang and the others could hear screams coming from the smoke. The Japanese soldiers hiding there were more or less affected by the napalm bombs and suffered many casualties.
Xia Yang said: "Keep firing and don't let more Japanese troops get close to the city wall."
He Changxing responded, and the trebuchet began to fire continuously, forming a long line of fire at a distance of about 300 meters outside the North City Gate.
At the same time, heavy firepower from all over the city also began to shoot at the smoke screen.
The fire whips formed by bullets were fiercely whipped into the smoke below. Xia Yang and the others could hear the screams of the Japanese troops, but the sound of the tanks' engines as they advanced was much closer to them.
Song Yumo, who was observing the inside of the smoke screen with infrared rays, said loudly: "The Japanese tanks are two hundred meters away from the city and are no longer within the attack range of napalm bombs."
Sure enough, the intensive shelling just now was actually covering the Japanese tanks as they approached the city walls. As long as they passed the range of about three hundred meters, their trebuchets on the city wall would not pose any threat to the Japanese tanks.
Hearing this, Xia Yang immediately picked up his sniper rifle and said to Song Yumo: "Kill them all."
As soon as he finished saying this, a cannonball landed on the battlement not far from him. Several soldiers were directly blown away by the tank's smoothbore shells. That piece of battlement was also directly bombarded by this shell, creating a gap.
At this time, the soldiers on the city wall had already seen that in the gradually dissipating smoke screen, the terrifying figure of the Japanese tank had slowly appeared in their sight.
