Chapter 20: 45mm anti-tank gun bombarding infantry, flamethrower, heavy machine gun squad upgrades.
He roared:
"Anti-tank guns!!! Bring them over here and bombard the Japanese turtle formation to death!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two newly upgraded 45mm anti-tank guns were pulled over and aimed at the breach in the side wall that had been blasted open.
"Fire! Rapid fire!!!"
With Li Jianghe's furious roar, two 45mm anti-tank guns simultaneously aimed at the Japanese tortoise formation.
The moment the firing cord was pulled down, the cannon vibrated, and two 45mm high-explosive shells were launched simultaneously.
The bulletproof shields raised by the Japanese soldiers could block machine gun fire, but how could they withstand the bombardment of 45mm anti-tank guns?
"Boom!!!"
A loud bang rang out, and the shields in the front row were instantly blown apart. The shockwave from the explosion instantly knocked over or even shattered the Japanese soldiers in the front row.
"Change to armor-piercing rounds!!!"
Upon seeing that the killing effect was not obvious, Li Jianghe immediately roared in anger.
The breechblock was pulled open, and two armor-piercing shells were skillfully inserted into it by the artilleryman.
"fire!!!"
The roar of artillery fire erupted again, but this time, armor-piercing shells were launched.
The armor-piercing projectile did not explode; instead, it continued to penetrate through the gap that had just been blasted open.
The Japanese troops inside the tortoise formation were densely packed. In the flight path of the armor-piercing bullets, the bodies of the Japanese soldiers were instantly blasted apart, like a string of candied hawthorns, pierced from head to tail.
A column of more than ten Japanese soldiers were either blown to pieces or had their heads smashed, their shattered body parts, organs, severed hands and feet scattered all over the ground.
The rising blood mist enveloped the Japanese troops inside the tortoise formation.
But then Japanese soldiers raised their bomb shields to block the breach, and at the same time, Japanese suicide squads rushed out from inside and charged toward the first floor.
Seeing the excellent killing effect, Li Jianghe was overjoyed and roared:
"Keep firing!!!"
Upon seeing this, Battalion Commander Yang Ruifu immediately shouted:
"Machine guns, prepare fire! Fire through the breach the Japanese troops have created!!!"
The two sides began to coordinate, with artillery blasting open a gap in the tortoise formation, while machine guns unleashed a hail of bullets into the gap as it appeared.
The Japanese soldiers inside the tortoise formation were quickly shattered by armor-piercing shells and heavy machine gun bullets, falling to the ground in droves.
Even so, the Japanese offensive showed no signs of stopping.
"Onboard!!!!"
The Japanese suicide bombers, shouting as they launched their death charge, detonated the explosives they carried.
Just as the turtle formation outside was about to be completely destroyed by anti-tank artillery, a soldier suddenly shouted.
"The Japanese devils have broken out of the waterway!!!!"
A soldier shouted, and the next moment his head was blown off by a bullet.
The Japanese troops' turtle formation on the flank was merely a distraction for the soldiers inside the warehouse.
The real main attack was carried out by Japanese assault teams that used waterways.
This Japanese commando unit was not equipped with the Type 38 rifle, but with MP28 submachine guns. It is unknown whether they were captured from the battlefield or borrowed from the Marine Corps.
The Japanese soldiers, equipped with submachine guns, immediately used grenades and submachine guns to clear a path the moment they rushed into the first floor of the warehouse.
"Boom!!!"
Explosions and the roar of submachine guns echoed continuously.
"Sappers! Where's the flamethrower?!"
With Li Jianghe's roar, Huang Zheng, the platoon leader of the engineering squad, charged over carrying an M2 flamethrower.
The upgraded engineer squad is equipped with an M2 flamethrower and can also use anti-tank mines and prepare Molotov cocktails.
The tall and strong Huang Zheng aimed at the waterway entrance and pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
The moment the fuel was ejected, flames instantly ignited it, turning it into a fiery dragon that engulfed the Japanese troops in the area.
The Japanese soldiers inside had just crawled out of the waterway and hadn't even had time to disperse when they were engulfed by scorching flames.
The seven or eight Japanese soldiers at the forefront were instantly engulfed in flames, letting out shrill screams, and, covered in flames, turned and jumped into the waterway below.
"Molotov cocktails!!!"
Huang Zheng roared, and the other engineers had already thrown Molotov cocktails at him.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
Flames burned, covering the waterway opening.
The remaining Japanese soldiers could only retreat to the depths of the waterway, daring not to show their faces again.
Fujita Tadayoshi, the leader of this assault team, shouted:
"Don't worry, this kind of jet can't last too long. Once the fuel runs out, we'll charge out immediately!!!"
He said this aloud, but inwardly he was surprised, wondering why the enemy even had flamethrowers.
As Fujita Tadayoshi said, that can of fuel could only last for 47 seconds.
Huang Zheng could only be a real man for 47 seconds.
The fuel tank needs to be replaced after 47 seconds.
However, that was enough. Xie Jinyuan directly transferred a machine gun platoon, with four Maxim heavy machine guns, which were already aimed at the waterway entrance.
Li Jianghe wasn't idle either; he transferred the heavy machine gun squad and the MG43 machine gun over.
Just as the flames from the flamethrower were about to burn out, Fujita Tadayoshi pointed his katana forward.
"Heavyweight black card!!! Banzai!!!"
After the roar, the Japanese soldiers rushed out of the waterway again.
Xie Jinyuan was on the second floor, directing the machine gun fire.
"Fire!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the Maxim heavy machine gun and the MG43 machine gun roared at the same time.
"Da da da!!!!"
The dense, intersecting barrage of fire quickly brought down the Japanese soldiers who were trying to break out of the waterway.
"Grenade!!!"
As Li Jianghe roared, soldiers threw grenades into the waterway.
"Boom!!!"
Explosions continued to erupt. The Japanese soldiers in the assault team had barely rushed out of the waterway and hadn't even had time to get ashore when they were either pierced by dense machine gun fire or blown to death by cluster grenades.
But the Japanese soldiers seemed fearless, and continued their charge despite the intense machine gun fire.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers, all strapped with bombs, charged out one after another from the waterway and detonated their explosives.
But all of this was in vain, because the crossfire from the first and second floors was already sweeping into the interior of the waterway.
The Japanese soldiers inside also began to be shot down to the ground.
In no time, the entire waterway was filled with the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
When Fujita Tadayoshi saw this, he knew that taking over the Sihang Warehouse was no longer possible.
"retreat!!!"
Finally, Fujita Tadayoshi shouted and ordered the troops to retreat.
As for what fate awaits him, Fujita Tadayoshi is already mentally prepared.
At the very least, we can't let these soldiers die in vain anymore.
Finally, the gunfire and explosions gradually subsided. The Japanese soldiers were either dead or fled, leaving behind a pile of corpses and limbs.
Some wounded Japanese soldiers screamed in agony, which was abruptly cut short by a sharp gunshot.
"Clean up the battlefield! Rebuild the defenses!!!"
Xie Jinyuan shouted.
At that moment, Li Jianghe also heard the system's voice.
The heavy machine gun squad has reached the maximum experience point threshold and has been promoted to veteran.
[Machine gun squad firing accuracy improved by 30%, machine gun rate of fire increased by 20%, barrel overheating time shortened by 30%, fire transfer speed increased by 30%...]
Finally, there's the option to upgrade weapons.
The heavy machine gun can be replaced with the MG42 machine gun.
Points consumed: 50 points. 】
