Chapter 193 Textbook-like Infantry-Tank Coordinated Tactics

The front lines of the battlefield.

Zhao Tianlai, the company commander of the 3rd Company of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Honor Brigade, was crouching down, closely following the right rear of a Hunter armored vehicle numbered 01014.

The tank's wide body provided perfect cover for him and the dozen or so soldiers behind him.

"Da da da da da—"

Four hundred meters ahead, a Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun, hidden behind a half-broken wall, suddenly opened fire.

A barrage of 7.7mm bullets rained down upon them.

"Jingle bells!"

The bullets struck the Hunter's sloping frontal armor, sending up a series of dazzling sparks before bouncing off helplessly.

The damage wasn't significant, but the crew suffered because they had to repaint the tank after the battle.

"hidden!"

Zhao Tianlai roared, and the infantry behind him quickly scattered. Some completely hid behind the hunters, while others rolled over and lay down in the shell craters next to them, quickly setting up their MG42 machine guns to fight back.

Zhao Tianlai, meanwhile, pressed himself against the rear of the tank and grabbed the telephone receiver hanging on the rear armor plate.

This is a vehicle-mounted infantry communication phone that Lin Feng specially commissioned to be modified, in order to solve the fatal problem of poor communication in combined arms operations.

"Cart 14, Cart 14! This is Zhao Tianlai, the infantry company commander!"

Zhao Tianlai shouted into the microphone:

"Straight ahead, at the eleven o'clock position."

Four hundred meters away, behind a half-section of red brick wall, there was a Japanese heavy machine gun emplacement.

It's your turn to shine. Knock it down.

"Fourth truck received!"

The tank commander's voice immediately came through the receiver:

"11 o'clock position, 400 meters away, prepare high-explosive shells."

Inside the tank.

The cramped space was filled with the smells of engine oil and gunpowder.

"Driver, slightly adjust the vehicle to the left," the commander ordered.

Lacking a turret, the Jagdpanzer needs to rotate its entire hull to aim at targets at wide angles.

The driver pulled the left control lever sharply, the tracks grinding a crater in the mud, and the front of the vehicle quickly aligned itself with the eleven o'clock position.

The Jagdpanzer's main gun firing arc is 5 degrees to the left and 11 degrees to the right. The gunner quickly turned the directional handwheel, and the main gun muzzle slightly corrected to the left.

The gunner's eyes were glued to the scope, and when the crosshairs were roughly aligned with the flashing Japanese firing point, he shouted:

"Target locked."

"High-explosive shells loaded!" the loader shouted at the same time.

The train commander gave the order directly:

"Fire!"

"boom!"

The 75mm main gun roared, spewing a ball of intense flame from its muzzle.

The chariot suddenly lurched backward.

Outside the car.

Zhao Tianlai felt a jolt in his eardrums, and then saw the red brick wall in the distance explode instantly.

Bricks, dirt, along with the Type 92 heavy machine gun and several Japanese machine gunners, were torn to pieces by the power of the high-explosive shells and thrown into the air.

"Well done."

Zhao Tianlai excitedly pumped his fist and shouted into the microphone:

"Enemy strongpoints cleared, proceed forward."

"Brothers, get on the chariot, charge!"

The infantrymen immediately leaped out of the shell craters, carrying submachine guns and assault rifles, and advanced while providing alternating cover.

The four Jagdpanzer annihilators at the forefront transformed into heavy artillery, using auto-aiming support fire to continuously eliminate the enemy's firing positions.

The Japanese defenses had been riddled with holes, but under the indoctrination of the Bushido spirit, the remaining Japanese soldiers continued to resist fiercely.

"Black Card Incident, Banzai!"

Suddenly, seven or eight Japanese soldiers, their bodies strapped with explosives, sprang out from a trench on the flank.

With white headbands tied around their heads and bloodshot eyes, they charged at the side of the Hunter vehicle like mad dogs, attempting a suicide attack.

This is the most common "human bomb" tactic used by the Japanese when facing indestructible armored targets.

"Right wing, Japanese suicide squad."

The platoon leader, responsible for covering the flank, shouted sternly.

There was absolutely no need for Zhao Tian to give the order.

"Da da da da da—"

"Bang bang bang bang——"

The MP40 submachine guns and StG44 assault rifles in the hands of the infantrymen instantly created an impenetrable net of fire.

At the same time, the MG34 machine gun on the roof of the Jagdpanzer, which was remotely fired from inside the vehicle, also turned its muzzle and spat out deadly flames.

The first few Japanese soldiers were instantly riddled with bullets, their bodies falling like tattered sacks.

One of the Japanese soldiers' explosives was detonated by a bullet.

"Boom!"

The violent explosion engulfed the remaining Japanese soldiers, scattering limbs and severed bodies everywhere.

"Keep pushing forward, don't stop."

Zhao Tianlai wiped the mud and blood off his face, his eyes cold and unwavering as he continued to give orders.

Just then, a Japanese Type 92 infantry gun suddenly appeared from behind a mound on a reverse slope in front.

Several Japanese artillerymen frantically adjusted their cannons, aiming them directly at the pursuers.

"Attention, 14th vehicle, 150 meters directly ahead, on the reverse slope, Japanese infantry gun."

Zhao Tianlai, with his sharp eyes, immediately grabbed the microphone at the back of the car and started yelling.

"receive!"

The Hunter's commander reacted extremely quickly.

"boom!"

The Japanese infantry guns opened fire first.

A 70mm grenade came hurtling in and hit the Jagdpanzer's frontal sloped armor squarely.

"clang--"

A loud bang.

However, due to the extreme angle of the armor, coupled with the low muzzle velocity and weak armor-piercing capability of the infantry gun, it was difficult to achieve its intended purpose.

The shell ricocheted, leaving a deep white mark on the armor before flying into the air.

The armored soldiers inside the vehicle felt a jolt and their ears were ringing, but they were unharmed.

"You son of a bitch, you dare to fight back!"

The train conductor roared in anger:

"Load high-explosive shells and blast it to pieces."

"boom!"

The Jagdpanzer's 75mm main gun roared deadly once again.

Thanks to its 48-caliber barrel, this 75mm main gun has a very flat trajectory, making it highly accurate at close range.

The shell left the barrel at an extremely high initial velocity, instantly covering a distance of 150 meters.

It accurately hit the gun shield of the Type 92 infantry gun.

"Boom!"

In the violent explosion, the Japanese infantry gun, along with several artillery pieces around it, was instantly reduced to a pile of burning scrap metal and minced meat.

"pretty."

Zhao Tianlai laughed loudly and raised the submachine gun in his hand:

"Brothers, the Japanese heavy firepower is gone!"

"Follow the tanks, charge into the trenches, leave no one alive."

"kill--"

The infantrymen, like wolves and tigers, leaped over the tanks, throwing grenades into the Japanese trenches, and then jumped down with their automatic weapons.

At the corner of the trench, a few Japanese soldiers were still trying to put up a stubborn resistance.

Zhao Tianlai held his StG44 assault rifle firmly on the trigger, and the fierce barrage of bullets kept the Japanese soldiers from showing their heads on the other side of the trench.

"Grenade!"

The soldiers next to them immediately seized the opportunity, pulled the fuse of the wooden-handled grenade in perfect unison, and threw it after silently counting to three.

The wooden-handled grenade spun through the air and landed on the other side of the trench corner.

"boom!"

Immediately after the explosion, the screams of the Japanese soldiers could be heard.

At the same time, Zhao Tianlai was able to change his 30-round magazine, rush to the corner, and continue firing at the other side of the trench.

Thus, under the cover of direct fire from tanks and the fierce automatic fire of infantry, they were mowed down.

This textbook-perfect infantry-tank combined arms tactic instilled a deep sense of despair in the Japanese, who were used to bullying the weak firepower of the Xia army.

The Japanese defenses are being relentlessly torn apart, section by section.
