Songhu: Never Give Up

Chapter 46 The Tragic Bean Chariot
At the Second Battalion's temporary command post, Yue Qianli was staring at the map and thinking about something when the machine gun company commander Li Boxi came over to report:
"Captain, Deputy Captain Liao sent someone to report that the Japanese gathered several hundred people and attacked us along the main road with the support of several armored vehicles.
Deputy Battalion Commander Liao ordered the second and third companies to retreat more than 200 meters in a big step, while the first company continued to block the enemy at every step and lure the enemy deeper. He suggested that the machine gun company should give the enemy a big blow. "

Yue Qianli did not want to expose the 107mm rocket launcher, a powerful weapon, too early. The Japanese Marines were a bunch of trash and did not deserve to enjoy it, so he said directly to Captain Li Boxi:
"Just send the mortar platoon and the rocket launcher platoon to reinforce. We need to destroy the enemy tanks first. The enemy's thin-skinned and small-stuffed little creatures can be killed with just one 40mm rocket."

When Li Boxi heard that he could finally play, he said excitedly:
"Don't worry, Captain. These little bastards can't cause any trouble. We will make sure they never come back."

After sending Li Boxi away, the smile on Yue Qianli's face gradually disappeared. The Japanese counterattack was nothing to worry about. The next offensive against the Marine Corps Headquarters would be a tough nut to crack.

In another time and space, the 88th Division used all its strength to attack the enemy Marine Corps headquarters building, but not only did it take a long time to capture it, it also suffered heavy casualties;

Thousands of people were killed or wounded in just one day of attack. Since the heavily defended headquarters fortress group had not been captured, the National Army's first phase of combat intentions could not be achieved, and the National Government Army was caught in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.

The enemy's Marine Corps headquarters is a very important point. Yue Qianli secretly made up his mind to bite the bullet and drive all the Japanese Marines into the sea!
In the first company's barricade position, on the main road leading to the Bazi Bridge, four Type 4 medium tanks were lined up in two rows. Accompanied by a large number of infantry, they moved in like a deserted place. They easily broke through the company's several lines of defense and were about to reach the Bazi Bridge.

A barricade hastily built with sandbags appeared in front of them. A Maxim heavy machine gun and two light machine guns were firing at the Japanese, knocking down a dozen infantrymen.
Dense bullets hit the steel plates of the armored vehicles, causing sparks to fly, but this did not stop the vehicles from moving forward at all. They did not take the heavy machine gun positions seriously at all.

The Marine Corps infantrymen had no armor, at most they had a helmet. After being strafed by machine guns, they were so scared that they hid behind the tanks.

89式乙型中型坦克（实则是轻型）战斗全重12.7吨，装甲了一门90式57毫米短管主炮，备弹100发，发射穿甲弹时可以穿透100m处的25mm垂直钢装甲。

The auxiliary weapons are two Type 2 91mm machine guns with 6.5 rounds of ammunition. It uses surface carburized nickel-chromium steel armor, with 2745mm front armor, 17mm side and rear armor, 15mm top armor, and 10mm bottom armor.

The tank is only 2.18 meters wide, 5.75 meters long, and 2.56 meters high, a standard small tank, but it is a mobile steel fortress on the Eastern Front.

The Japanese tank commander discovered the Kuomintang's heavy machine gun and shouted excitedly:
"The enemy's heavy machine gun position is directly ahead, 275 meters away, fire!"

After receiving the order, the Japanese gunner began to adjust the angle of the main gun, preparing to destroy the Kuomintang machine gun position with one shot. This was not difficult for him.

When the Japanese tanks stopped and prepared to fire, several rocket launcher groups rushed out from the streets on both sides and fired several rockets at them from a distance of more than 100 meters;

At this time, the Japanese infantry were still hiding behind the tanks to avoid the rain of machine gun bullets, and no one paid attention to the rocket launcher group that suddenly appeared.

The Japanese tanks' attention was all on the machine gun positions, which was also one of the tactics used by the Second Battalion to attack the enemy tanks;

Since the Japanese tanks had never suffered from rocket launchers, they didn't pay much attention until their tanks were hit and caught fire, then they reacted.

"Bakayaloo, enemy attack! There are anti-tank guns on both wings!"

The infantry squadron leader who was attacking with the tanks mistook the rocket launcher for the 37mm anti-tank gun equipped by the German-equipped division and immediately ordered the infantry to protect the tanks.

Compared to the precious tanks, the lives of the Marines are not worth mentioning. If they can, they would like to use their bodies to block the rockets for the tanks.

Sergeant Nakata actually tried it, but it was useless. The high-speed rocket tore his body into pieces, then hit the side armor of a tank and destroyed it. The Type 89 tank's armor of more than ten millimeters could not stop the rocket with a penetration of more than 100 millimeters. It easily tore through the armor and then exploded into a pile of scrap metal.

The rocket launcher platoon leader sent out four groups at once, and destroyed all the tanks in just two rounds of shooting, and also killed a number of Japanese infantry.

Seeing that they had destroyed the most threatening Japanese tank, Liao Jianping shouted excitedly:
“Pretty, but he’s fucking awesome;

Blow the charge, and counterattack on all fronts! "

Before Major Ito knew what was happening, he heard loud military bugles sounding in the city, and faint shouts of killing. He asked Major Asada beside him in fear:

"Mr. Mada, did you hear the Chinese people shouting and killing?"

Kazuo Mata was the captain of the first brigade. He was also a little confused, but his ears were fine, so he said to Major Ito with certainty:
"That's right, it's the Chinese bugle calls and the German gunfire. The Chinese are launching a counterattack. I have to go over and take a look!"

Kazuo Mata could no longer sit still, so he rushed out of the command post with his saber in hand, found a place with a wide view, and instantly became so angry that smoke came out of his nose;
His so-called brave warriors were being chased by the Chinese and were fleeing in a panic. From time to time, someone was shot and fell down. The others pretended not to see it and only thought about running faster than others. It would be better for me to let my friend die than for me.

"Bakayaloo, you have brought disgrace upon the empire!"

"Kill the devils!"

"There are more than a dozen of them ahead, don't let them get away."

"Quick, outflank them..."

After several of the Japanese tanks were destroyed, their morale dropped sharply. The main force of the Second Battalion took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. The Second and Third Companies, which had retreated previously, rushed out from the streets and alleys on both wings, catching the Japanese off guard.

Since each company had two flying thunder cannons, they would bombard the enemy as soon as they gathered together. One explosive pack could clear out an area, leaving almost no one alive within 2 meters.
They were either shaken to death or knocked down by hundreds of scattered iron pieces. If they were hit by one, they would either die or be crippled. The main point was "no conscience"!
The Feilei cannon barrel is a gasoline barrel. In order to make it easy to carry, Yue Qianli specially picked a medium-sized oil barrel with a diameter of only 50 cm and a weight of less than 30 kg. A handle was welded in advance, so two people can lift it up and put it on the ground to fire.

In order to facilitate the installation of the guns, they also equipped each gun with a detachable special tripod, which greatly improved the combat efficiency;

A well-trained artillery crew (6 people) can set up the gun and fire within one minute. After firing, they can lift it up and move it, which is more convenient than a mortar.

Seeing that his troops were being defeated, Major Asada could only take the reserve troops to support them and minimize the losses.
