Chapter 492: The Death Squad
"what……"
The squadron leader was also a veteran, but he was still frightened when he saw half a human leg in his hand for the first time. He quickly threw it aside. This scene was also seen by the remaining soldiers around him. They had never seen the squadron leader like this before.
It turned out that it was not that his soldiers were afraid of death, but that these people had already died in battle. Come to think of it, the artillery bombardment just now was really too fierce. It was the first time in his life that he had seen such artillery bombardment.
"The signalman immediately requested fire support from the regiment commander. We are facing a large number of Dragon Nation soldiers!"
The squadron leader saw that the enemy in front was getting closer and closer, so he shouted loudly. Usually, the signalman would respond the fastest, but now there was no sound except the sound of the wind.
Some Japanese soldiers also crawled out of the ground around them, but they either covered their ears or looked around in confusion. Some people were dug out, but they were already dead. The entire position was filled with a sense of failure.
We haven't even seen the enemy yet. We have been bombed into this state. What's more, all the tanks coming from a distance are tanks. Everyone is familiar with this thing. It is much bigger than our small tanks. With the Type 38 rifles and bayonets in our hands, can we stop their tanks?
"Captain Hashimoto, gather all your men immediately and follow me to the battalion headquarters. The battalion commander has issued an order to form a suicide squad with your men. We must stop their tanks."
Just when the squadron leader didn't know what order to give, the soldiers beside the captain ran over.
The Sui-Jiu-Squad?
This term is very familiar to the Japanese. It means that when war is irresistible, the people under their command form a combat team, hanging grenades or other explosives all over their bodies, and are determined to die together with the enemy.
When training in Japan, many people were familiar with this and even fantasized about becoming heroes one day. However, when it really happened to them, many people no longer had the same idea as before.
"You, you, and you, all of you come here."
The squadron leader said loudly that among his army squadron of more than 100 people, there are still more than 20 people who maintain combat effectiveness. Although there are more than 20 of the remaining people alive, they basically breathe out more than they breathe in, and will not live long.
When Captain Hashimoto brought more than 20 people to the captain, they found that one of the captain's legs was also blown off. The military doctor was treating the captain's wound. This was the captain. There were also soldiers shouting miserably not far away. Unfortunately, there were not so many medicines in the army, so you can only die in pain here.
"Hashimoto-kun, please."
The captain endured the pain from his legs, supported his body with his samurai sword, and then made way. Behind him were two boxes of grenades, both of which had hooks on them.
"quick."
Captain Hashimoto did not hesitate at all. These people had been brainwashed. Being able to die fighting for His Majesty the Emperor could be said to be the most glorious thing in their lives.
But that doesn't mean all the soldiers in the team thought the same way. Two soldiers stepped back in fear. The angry captain drew his knife and was ready to chop the two men alive. However, he moved a little and fell to the ground. Then he remembered that one of his legs was blown off and he couldn't support his body at all.
"Shoot them both."
The captain spoke arrogantly, and the two soldiers who retreated were so scared that they sat on the ground. One of the soldiers even sat on the other injured soldier, causing the soldier to scream in pain.
There was chaos here, but there were still a few intact soldiers around the captain. They raised their guns and shot the two frightened soldiers.
When Captain Hashimoto saw this scene, there was no sadness on his face. In his opinion, these people deserved to die. This was his chance to show himself. He would take his men to blow up these tanks. If he could survive by chance, he would come back as a captain.
Eighteen people loaded two boxes of grenades and then crawled out of the trench. The tanks on the opposite side were less than 500 meters away from the position. If they were not stopped at this time, the tanks would be able to rush over immediately with a slight acceleration.
"Hashimoto! Speed up!"
The captain saw these people still crawling slowly on the ground. If they continued at this speed, the enemy tanks would be only thirty or forty meters away from our position, which would be too dangerous.
"Follow me."
Captain Hashimoto could only slowly get up and then lead his men to run forward with their backs bent.
The captain had just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next scene made him dumbfounded. There were machine guns on the opposite tank. There was a machine gun next to the driver, a machine gun following the main gun muzzle, and a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun behind the tank turret.
The entire tank can be said to be armed to the teeth. When they saw people rushing out, and rushing out in a column, the tank soldiers also felt the danger. Two machine guns are aimed at the dozen or so of you. On the flat ground without any cover, can you still survive?
Half of the soldiers were killed instantly, and some soldiers were so nervous when they died that they pulled the grenade casually. After the pull ring of the Japanese grenade was pulled, it needed a collision to explode. When these people fell down, the grenade touched the ground and blew themselves up.
Zhang Maozi's men also realized that these were Japanese suicide soldiers. No wonder these people dared to rush towards the tanks.
"Clear the position with maximum firepower."
The commander of the tank vanguard battalion immediately gave the order, reducing the tank's speed by half, and the three machine guns quickly fired at the front. The muzzles also slowly lowered and fired high-explosive bombs at the front positions.
The captain, who had lost a leg, had no way to dodge and was hit in the head by a bullet. He then met up with Captain Hashimoto.
The 212th Infantry Battalion was almost completely destroyed under the bombing and tank attacks.
The Japanese troops coming to support from both sides couldn't even find a decent trench. They originally dug two trenches about one meter deep. After all, the Japanese were not tall, but they were filled up during the bombing. You can imagine how many shells had just fallen.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers stood in front of the tank vanguard, but the tank's machine guns killed half of them in an instant. Do you expect your flesh and blood to stop our steel torrent?
