Chapter 525: 525 Tang Jun rushes into battle

Chapter 525 Chapter 525 Tang Jun rushes into battle

Liu Guozhu felt like a mackerel hiding in a can. Outside, there was a giant trying to pry open the iron sheet that protected him, trying to swallow him alive.

The hail of gunfire and bullets outside was so dense that it made people feel numb. Bullets were hitting everywhere, and there were loud explosions everywhere.

However, the No. 4 tank he was driving was still very strong, and its thick armor blocked attacks from all directions.

The bullets hit the armor of his tank, just like rain hitting the eaves. A bullet hit the armor and was ejected, causing a splash of sparks.

These incoming ammunition even smashed the paint on the tank, making it impossible to see its original appearance, which is enough to prove how dense these bullets are, so dense that some bullets even hit the same place.

Liu Guozhu, who was sitting in the commander's seat, felt that it was crazy for the infantry to launch a charge in such an environment. Even with armor protection, breaking through such a defense line would require great courage on the part of the driver.

Through the thin gap in the commander's position, Liu Guozhu saw a bunker ahead that was spitting out tongues of fire, and bullets kept flying out of the low perforations.

"One o'clock direction! One o'clock direction! Machine gun bunker! Did you see it? Did you see it?" Liu Guozhu shouted loudly to his gunner.

The gunner was controlling the rotation of the turret. After hearing Liu Guozhu's reminder, he immediately began to check the turret scale below his field of vision.

He worked hard to align the turret scale to the 1 o'clock direction, and then looked through the sight filled with scales to observe the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke.

“I saw it! I saw it! Loader! Grenade loading! Grenade!” He found the target he was about to attack, and then shouted at his loader.

The loader was not hesitant. He immediately pulled out a shell marked with a grenade from the shell storage shelf and pushed it into the barrel of the gun without hesitation.

 The breech closed automatically in the next second, and then the gunner heard the loader's shout of readiness. He subconsciously stepped on the firing pedal, and then the shell shot out of the muzzle.

With violent vibrations, the shell flew out of the muzzle of the 75mm short-barreled gun, and then flew straight towards the target in the distance, almost flying directly into the shooting hole of the machine gun bunker.

Despite this, the shell exploded next to the firing hole. The huge explosion swallowed up most of the bunker, causing the firing hole to immediately become silent.

The Qi soldiers hiding in the bunker were not intimidated by the Stuka bombers. They stood firm and tried to block the Tang army's attack.

 But when the Qi army arrived and the Tang army attacked, they found that these attacking Tang troops were equipped with a weapon they had never seen before.

This weapon is very fast, equipped with a rotating turret, has two machine guns and an artillery, full of firepower and strong defense.

Driving this new weapon, the Tang army quickly approached the Qi army's position. These steel monsters opened the barbed wire fence, and then began to wreak havoc on the front line of the Qi army's position.

Amidst the hail of bullets from the Qi Army, the Tang Army infantry that followed began to brave the artillery fire and rain of bullets to fill the wide trench that blocked the tanks from advancing. The Tang Army soldiers carrying sandbags were knocked down one after another at the edge of the trench.

Soon the Tang Army's artillery fire swept over and began to suppress the Qi Army's position. In an instant, the Qi army's position was submerged in an explosion.

The Tang Army troops rose up in excitement, throwing sandbags into the trench one by one, and even pushed the corpses of friendly soldiers in to make up the number.

 Then, when it was barely possible to pass, a No. 4 tank couldn't wait to crush the sandbags and corpses, and rushed through the only obstacle that could stop it from moving forward.

Liu Guozhu couldn't bear to direct his tank close to the filled trench, and then ordered the driver to control the tank to pass quickly.

 He could feel the front of the tank suddenly sinking down, which meant that the filling in the trench was actually slightly lower than the edge.

 But this does not matter at all, because the off-road capabilities of the No. 4 tank are powerful and unmatched by other tanks of this era.

With the roar of the engine, Liu Guozhu felt that the front of his tank touched something, and then the body of the tank regained its balance. Within two seconds, he felt that the front of his tank was raised high again. Apparently, it had already Rushed to the other side of the ditch.

He grabbed the armrest next to him with all his strength, and then let the front of the car crash down. The entire tank regained its balance, and he could once again see the Qi army's position close at hand.

 "Directly ahead! Directly ahead! The enemy's machine gun position! Aim! Aim!" Liu Guozhu saw in the trench directly ahead that Qi Army soldiers were manipulating a Maxim machine gun to fire.

 "Thud, tug, tug!" The directional machine gun on the tank began to fire. The electromechanical operator controlled his own machine gun and fired bullets to the edge of the enemy's trench.

The shooter behind the Maxim machine gun was hit by a bullet and fell on his back. The deputy shooter was also beaten to a **** pulp. A sheet of white smoke was swept away by bullets near the machine gun position. The Maxim machine gun was also damaged by bullets and fell to the side.

The three or four nearby machine gun emplacements have all been removed. The supporting firepower of the Qi army was instantly silent, and the remaining sporadic resistance became like panting and groaning.

The soldiers of the Qi army in the trenches had already begun to collapse when they saw those giant steel objects approaching their positions.

 Their will to fight had been shaken by the Stuka dive bombers, but now they saw this new type of weapon that they had never seen before, and they didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​counterattack.

Seeing a No. 4 tank running over the trench and breaking the wooden planks reinforcing the edge of the trench, the Qi soldiers in the trench immediately ran like dogs and screamed: "The enemy is coming! Help! They are coming!" "

On a battlefield full of bomb craters, Liu Guozhu's No. 4 tank first crossed a huge crater without hesitation, and then aimed its turret at a machine gun bunker not far away.

“Thud, tug, tug!” The coaxial machine gun began to roar, and a row of tracer bullets came out of the muzzle and landed on the Qi army’s position not far away.

The machine gun perforations over there fell silent immediately. Perhaps they were frightened, but the Qi soldiers inside actually escaped like this, and started to flee crazily along with the soldiers covering the bunker next to them.

"Fire! Fire! They are retreating! Aim!..." Liu Guozhu saw some panicked Qi soldiers fleeing backwards through the observation window, and immediately reminded his gunners.

The gunner immediately continued to control the coaxial machine gun to fire, and another row of tracer bullets swept into the crowd, knocking down all the Qi troops who had left the trench.

On the bare position, the Qi army's artillery shells quickly fell, but there were not many of these artillery shells, and their accuracy was ridiculous.

Seven or eight artillery shells landed behind the tanks of the Tang Army, and two or three artillery shells landed on the Qi Army's own position, causing a great deal of pain to the defeated troops.

At this time, Liu Guozhu saw a red dragon flag crossing his tank. It was the infantry of the Tang Army who followed up and occupied the Qi Army's trench near the tank.

The battle is still going on, but the situation has become one-sided. The Qi army was attacked by the Tang Dynasty's air force and had long been unwilling to fight. Now it was attacked by a tank, completely disrupted its position, and withdrew from the first line of defense.

However, before they could recover and regroup on the second line of defense, the Tang Army's artillery fire crushed them again.

"Huh!" The whistling artillery shells fell on the Qi army's position. The shocked Qi army soldiers were defeated again, crying for their fathers and mothers before they even took a breath.

"Why are their artillery fire so fast?" A Qi soldier didn't even care about the weapons around him and ran away, crying and complaining as he ran.

"Stop talking! Save your energy!" A veteran ran along the trench without looking back, reminding the newcomers around him as he ran.

 “Where are our artillery?” Another Qi soldier had already digged up the ancestral graves of the artillerymen on his side.

 As soon as he finished asking, he saw a 130mm howitzer lying in a hidden position. Next to it was a crater that was still smoking, and there were corpses lying around that hadn't been dealt with yet.

This was the masterpiece of the Stuka dive bomber. A bomb accurately hit the artillery bunker, wiping out all the artillery in the bunker and the artillery.

His eyes widened and his pace gradually slowed down. The Qi soldier who had just been complaining about his own artillery looked stupidly at the parts of the artillery scattered next to the corpse, as well as the incomplete corpses. Forgot to escape.

Just when he was in a daze, a voice brought him back to the cruel reality. The long and increasingly sad sound from **** echoed above his head again.

 “Buzz…Woo…Woo!” Accompanied by that unique, crushing sharp buzz, a Stuka dive bomber that returned to the battlefield began to drop bombs again.

This sound made the Qi army, which was already in continuous defeat, completely despair. They knelt on the ground, raised their hands high, and cried to surrender to the Tang army: "Stop fighting! We surrender! Please! We surrender." Stop it!"

Immediately afterwards, they saw the tracks rolling, and the huge No. 4 tank drove past them, ran over their trenches, and rushed farther away at high speed.

 The soldiers of the Tang Army following these tanks began to occupy trenches and positions, **** prisoners, and fill in some trenches and obstacles.

The noise gradually faded away. Only then did the Qi army realize that the border defense line they had vowed to hold for half a year seemed to be almost broken by the Tang army all morning!
