Chapter 184: Battle of Tianjin 19

The battle was fought with intent but without intention, and the Japanese army was still in a state of confusion, and they were outnumbered, so the outcome of the battle was predictable.

"Take down the one in front!" Xu Ren calmly commanded the crew members, asking them to take down the Type 5 heavy combat vehicle in front.

Shi Zhihua quickly returned to his familiar gunner position. He held the operating lever with both hands and stared at the sight intently. He did not feel the slightest bit of unfamiliarity. Instead, he felt his hands getting hotter and hotter.

In just two minutes, he had fired three shots in succession, and each shot hit the target accurately.

However, the second shell only hit the opponent's flank suspension and failed to cause a fatal blow.

Looking at the Type 5 heavy fighter that had started to spin in place, Shi Zhihua decided to fire another shot to completely destroy it and send it to the Yasukuni Shrine.

Shi Zhihua took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and then stepped hard on the firing pedal. The whole tank shook violently. The smoke from the shells filled the car, slightly blackening Shi Zhihua's face.

Just two seconds later, in Xu Ren's observation mirror, the upper left side of the turret of the tank in front was torn apart by the shell, and flames and thick smoke instantly gushed out. Accompanied by a huge explosion, the wreckage of the tank was blown everywhere, forming a tragic scene.

This attack, like a sharp sword, pierced through the enemy's defense line and plunged the Japanese army into greater chaos.

A bowl-sized hole was left on the front of the tank, and the melted armor plate burned by the metal electric current had a large area of ​​burrs, which looked particularly hideous.

Although there was no secondary explosion, judging from the condition of that tank, the crew members inside were probably all killed.

"Well done!" Xu Ren shouted excitedly, cheering for his old partner. He knew that this shot not only destroyed the enemy's tank, but also dealt a heavy psychological blow to the enemy.

However, at this moment, there was a whistling sound suddenly coming from overhead. Xu Ren was startled and looked up, only to see a group of planes approaching rapidly in the sky.

At the same time, greetings from fellow air force members came from the communicator beside my ear: "Captain Xu, we are here to support you! 12 attack aircraft carrying armor-piercing rockets are coming to help!"

Hearing this, Xu Ren smiled. He knew that with the support of the Air Force, the battle would become easier.

There was a cheer in the communication channel, which meant that the intervention of the Air Force would speed up and improve the efficiency of the current battle.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..." Accompanied by sharp sounds of breaking through the air, the rockets hanging under the fuselage of the P51 poured down from the sky like raindrops, flying towards the advancing tank troops of the Japanese army.

The whistling sound of these rockets as they cut through the air sounded like a call from hell to the Japanese soldiers.

As soon as Yoshida Takeo left the army formation without permission during the Goshiki Heavy Battle, a chill surged in his heart and rushed straight to his brain.

But when he saw Chinese fighter planes appear on the battlefield and use rockets mounted under the wings to harvest the Locust Army's tanks on the ground from the air, his face turned pale.

He slumped weakly in the seat of the command vehicle, while the liaison flag bearer looked at their division commander with a miserable expression.

After the Chinese air force arrived and launched an attack, the Japanese troops on the battlefield had lost the courage to continue fighting. Their originally firm front collapsed in an instant, and the soldiers fled in panic.

Some Japanese tanks began to desperately turn around, trying to escape from this terrible battlefield.

However, due to the haste and confusion, several tanks actually collided, which made their situation even more difficult.

Some tanks could not even start normally and became targets on the battlefield.

What was even more shocking was that some Japanese tank soldiers simply opened the hatches, abandoned their intact tanks without hesitation, and ran to the rear at the fastest speed.

They would rather give up these expensive equipment than face the double attack from the Chinese from the ground and the air.

This situation showed that the Japanese army's morale in this battle had completely collapsed and their confidence in victory was gone.

Some Japanese tanks at the rear of the battlefield did escape, but of course they could only leave the battlefield with fear and despair.

They knew that this defeat would bring them great losses and humiliation, while the Chinese, through this victory, further consolidated their position and demonstrated how powerful they were in the air and on the ground.

Attacks from the air are far more efficient than artillery battles between tanks. The first batch of 12 attack aircraft entered the battlefield within a few minutes.

After the second and third batches of 48 fighter planes entered the battlefield with a total of four batches, the Japanese tanks that were still moving.

They turned into burning coffins, and the entire battlefield was filled with burning, destroyed, or abandoned Japanese tanks.

A rumbling sound came from the rear, and the main Type 43 heavy tanks of the st Armored Division finally arrived slowly, followed by a motorized infantry brigade that arrived at the battlefield.

Xu Ren sat down on the seat. Several old comrades in the crew looked at each other in silence at first, and then someone laughed out loud first, and then all the crew members laughed together.

"Hahaha, so happy!"

"It's so fucking enjoyable!"

"This is much more fun than fighting on our own!"

Several people in the crew laughed and talked about it. Xu Ren also smiled and said, "This time, these little Japanese really suffered a big loss. Let's see if they dare to be arrogant in the future!"

At this time, the smoke on the battlefield gradually dissipated, the ground was covered with debris and corpses, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and blood.

Xu Ren looked at this tragic scene and couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart. War is so cruel that both the enemy and our own people will pay a heavy price.

But he knew that for the sake of the country and the nation, this battle must be won.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and said to the crew members: "Okay, brothers, let's keep moving forward! There are more enemies waiting for us to eliminate!"

The crew members nodded in agreement, started the engine, and drove the tank forward.

In the following battle, Xu Ren led the crew members to fight bravely and continuously destroy the enemy's defense line. They worked closely with other troops and advanced step by step to the core area of ​​the enemy.

After several hours of fierce fighting, the battle was finally won.

After the war, Xu Ren stood on the battlefield, looking at the ruins and wreckage around him, feeling filled with emotion.

Although the battle was difficult, they finally defeated the enemy. He believed that as long as everyone united and worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and safeguard the peace of the motherland.
