Chapter 34: Internal and External Attacks
Although Noda Kengo responded in time, he still underestimated the speed of Xu Wen's advance.
The officers and soldiers of the independent battalion riding in tanks and armored vehicles, under the command of Xu Wen, advanced at full speed, before the Japanese from the 33rd Regiment could gather around.
They had already rushed to a place less than 500 meters away from the Japs Wing headquarters.
And they continued to attack forward. About a hundred Japanese soldiers rushed over and fired at Xu Wen and others desperately.
But the bullets all hit the five Panzer IV tanks at the front, causing sparks to burst out, but they were unable to stop their advance at all.
Xu Wen was sitting in the tank in the middle, holding a walkie-talkie and ordering: "Fire! Kill them!"
Boom boom boom boom! The five Panzer IV tanks roared one after another, and the muzzle flashed red, firing five high-explosive grenades at the Japanese blocking troops in front.
Boom, boom, boom, five high-explosive grenades hit the target almost simultaneously and exploded violently on the spot.
Among the more than 100 Japanese soldiers, at least 20 were blown away on the spot.
Before the five Panzer IV tanks started their second round of shelling, the half-track armored vehicle and ten other Humvee military vehicles all followed suit.
Ten 12.7MM caliber anti-aircraft machine guns and two MG42 general-purpose machine guns formed a terrifying and dense fire net, hitting the Japanese blocking troops.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers were shot dead without even being able to block a volley of fire from Xu Wen and others.
Without making any pause, Xu Wen immediately commanded the troops to continue to advance rapidly.
Taking advantage of the situation, he rushed outside the Japanese Regiment Headquarters. Relying on the precise positioning of the system, Xu Wen ordered the tanks to lock onto the 33rd Regiment Headquarters 150 meters away.
The five Panzer IV tanks fired a salvo, and the five shells roared out and hit the target hard.
Boom! Boom boom boom! A violent explosion rose from the ground, bursting out with balls of dazzling red light.
Noda Kengo, who had not yet thought about escaping in the headquarters, and several of his close staff were all killed on the spot.
Ten armed Humvee military vehicles then led hundreds of infantry to fight side by side with Xu Wen and others and began to hunt down the Japanese soldiers who were in panic and chaos around the headquarters.
At the same time, on the national army position on the Wuxi defense line.
Seeing that the agreed time had arrived, we heard explosions and gunshots coming from the direction of the Japanese positions in the south.
Zhou Weiguo, who had been preparing with his officers and soldiers for a long time, immediately took the lead and stood up from the trench, holding an MP18 submachine gun, and shouted in a fierce voice: "Brothers, charge with me!"
After saying this, he took the lead and jumped out of the trench and rushed forward.
Hundreds of remnants of the independent battalion shouted slogans and rushed forward after them.
Under their leadership, several other national troops in Wuxi also followed suit and attacked the offensive position of the 33rd Infantry Regiment.
Because Zhou Weiguo's attack was very timely, a large number of Japanese attacking troops were contained from the front, making it impossible for them to return to support Xu Wen and his surprise troops.
This greatly relieved the pressure on Xu Wen's side, and the number of Japanese soldiers who came to block and suppress Xu Wen's group did not exceed a thousand.
In fact, with the combat effectiveness of Xu Wen's semi-mechanized force, even if the Japanese came with 2,000 soldiers, Xu Wen could defeat them all.
Therefore, in this case, Xu Wen's equipment and firepower advantages will only be greater!
"All vehicles, listen to the order, concentrate your firepower and continue to attack forward! Completely defeat the enemy! Join Battalion Commander Zhou and others as soon as possible!" Xu Wen was sitting in the tank, holding a wireless phone and loudly ordering.
"Tank No. 1 received!"
"Tank No. 2 received!"
"Tank III received!"
The officers and soldiers on five tanks, one armored vehicle, and ten Humvee military vehicles responded one after another, and then controlled the vehicle-mounted weapons to wildly fire and bombard the Japanese in front of them.
Their dozen tanks and chariots were like fire-breathing steel behemoths, pouring out tongues of fire one after another.
Wherever the dense rain of bullets composed of tongues of fire hit, not only the Japanese soldiers were beaten with blood and flesh flying everywhere, but they also fell to the ground one after another.
Some trees were also cut down, and for a while smoke and dust filled the air, and fire broke out everywhere.
The Japanese troops in front of Xu Wen and the others cried out for their fathers and mothers after being bombed, and fell down in rows. Xu Wen took advantage of the situation and directed the tanks and armored vehicles to advance. On the way forward, there were some Japanese wounded soldiers who were still alive, but they
Because the legs and feet were broken, or the body was seriously injured and unable to move and evade.
I could only look at the approaching tanks and chariots and scream in horror: "No, no..."
Xu Wen remained unmoved and let the soldiers drive tanks and armored vehicles to crush them.
Rumble! Six tanks and armored vehicles rumbled past with smoke coming from their rears, leaving bloody corpses all over the ground.
In a short time, Xu Wen led this assault force and defeated nearly a thousand defenders of the 33rd Regiment.
Advancing directly to the forward offensive position of the 33rd Regiment, the Japs here were already at war with Zhou Weiguo and other Wuxi counterattack troops.
Xu Wen first ordered five tanks to fire from behind and poured a wave of shells on them, sending some Japanese soldiers flying into the sky.
Then he ordered the armored vehicles that followed to use their on-board weapons to fire at the Japanese.
More than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns, general-purpose machine guns, and hundreds of infantrymen who arrived later opened fire one after another. A large number of hot bullets were fired, like a violent storm, pouring towards the Japanese on the position.
The Japanese soldiers who turned around hastily had no time to dodge. They were shot one after another and fell down in the trench fortifications screaming.
The soldiers of Zhou Weiguo and other counterattack troops who had been suppressed by the enemy's blocking fire were greatly relieved. They got up from the ground one after another and continued to charge forward with various weapons.
The remaining Japanese troops of the 33rd Regiment were caught in a pincer attack by Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo.
Especially the troops led by Xu Wen had extremely powerful firepower and dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese.
Therefore, in less than twenty minutes, nearly two thousand Japanese soldiers on the position were all shot to death.
Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo met again victoriously. After meeting on the Japanese army position littered with Japanese corpses, Xu Wen jumped out of the tank, ran over with a smile and gave Zhou Weiguo a big hug.
Smiling, he patted Zhou Weiguo on the shoulder and said, "Brother, great job! I know you won't let me down!"
Zhou Weiguo also couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Zhu, what you did is really beautiful! If you hadn't killed the Japanese headquarters, our counterattack wouldn't have been so easy to win this time!"
Xu Wendao: "It's not yet time for complete victory. Although the 33rd Regiment has been completely wiped out, there is still a 38th Regiment behind it!
How about gathering all the troops and let's fight together and kill them?"
"No problem!" Zhou Weiguo readily agreed!
Chapter completed!
