Chapter 704 I will take back what I lost with my own hands
Jinkuro Ochiai held a telescope and prepared to watch the Tiger tanks of the independent column being blown into pieces.
"Explode! Only fragments will be your final destination!"
But instead of the expected explosion, a beam of red flame gushed out from the barrel of the Tiger tank and hit the bunker directly.
The Japanese soldiers in the bunker and the Japanese soldiers carrying Type 4 jettison cannons behind the bunker were instantly ignited and let out terrible screams like ghosts howling.
One after another, the fire men stumbled out of the bunkers, running around with their fangs and claws bared, and finally lay on the ground in an extremely distorted and painful posture, turning into charcoal.
The ten strange "Tiger tanks" did not stop, but moved forward in unison, rotating their turrets as they advanced.
Flames were flying all along the way, burning the Japanese soldiers so that they had no power to fight back.
Dai Anlan, who was observing closely, watched the ten tanks of the Fire Phoenix Tank Battalion display their might and now he finally understood why they were called "Fire Phoenix".
This Fire Phoenix flamethrower tank is Lin Shubing's masterpiece.
The independent column must constantly expand its territory, and the majority of them will inevitably become the attacking side.
In order to prevent themselves from being blown to pieces by the planes and heavy artillery of the independent column, the Japanese must have built a large number of fortifications, especially underground ones.
After all, for the Japanese, China is full of limestone and stone, and there are free laborers. As long as they capture a few thousand Chinese people, they can build a perfect bunker defense line within a month.
Therefore, the independent column will inevitably have to deal with a large number of bunkers and other underground fortifications in the future.
Flamethrowers are certainly good, but as the only type of soldier not protected by the Geneva Treaty, flamethrowers will be the target of enemy fire as soon as they enter the battlefield.
After all, if the jet hits the burning soldier, he can only be saved by shooting him to death.
Therefore, although flamethrowers are very useful, they can only survive for a short time on the battlefield and make less contribution.
Therefore, Lin Shubing modified the Tiger tank into a "Fire Phoenix" flamethrower tank.
Two high-pressure fuel tanks are installed inside the Phoenix flamethrower tank, which can ensure 70-100 short burst attacks with an effective range of 100 meters.
In addition, in order to ensure the survival rate of the Fire Phoenix, Lin Shubing thickened the tank armor and hung a layer of composite armor on the outside to specifically counter the Japanese armor-piercing projectiles.
At the same time, the bottom armor has been thickened to protect against common anti-tank mines.
In short, the Phoenix flamethrower tank is a mobile, sturdy, large-sized flamethrower!
Ochiai Jinjiurō was furious, he didn't expect the Independent Column to come up with something new.
"Order the mountain artillery regiment to cover the enemy's flamethrower tanks with artillery fire!"
A shell landed in the middle of ten flamethrower tanks, and Xiao Long immediately became alert.
If a mountain cannon explodes, it will not be as simple as just a bruised face. If the fuel tank is really detonated, I'm afraid the area within a hundred meters will become a sea of fire.
"All tanks, fire smoke bombs forward!"
Xiao Long pressed the smoke bomb switch, and a set of four smoke bombs on the left side of the Phoenix flamethrower tank popped out and landed fifty meters ahead.
In less than a minute, a white curtain wall rose in front of the ten Phoenix flamethrower tanks.
"Flame tanks continue to clear out the enemy's bunkers!"
The ten Phoenix flamethrower tanks were like sprinkler trucks, spraying flames in a fan shape as they moved forward.
Ochiai Jinjiurō was furious and could only order the mountain artillery regiment to start shelling the white smoke screen.
Dai Anlan, who was jumping for joy in the distance, immediately ordered small-caliber artillery to suppress the enemy's mountain artillery.
In order to prevent the mountain artillery from being completely destroyed by the artillery of the Independent Corps, Jinjiurō Ochiai was forced to order all 36 mountain artillery pieces to enter the fortifications to avoid the enemy's direct attack.
Without the threat of mountain artillery, those sporadic "Type 4 flamethrower cannons" posed no threat to the tough and strong Phoenix flamethrower tanks.
Ten flamethrower tanks destroyed the enemy with ease, and the Tiger tanks followed closely behind, breaking through the left wing position of Taohuayu.
"Report to Commander Dai, the left wing position of Taohuayu has been breached. Next, it will be handed over to the comrades of the 119th Armored Division. We will return to refuel and continue to assist the 120th Armored Division in attacking the middle position of Taohuayu!"
"Received, thank you! The left wing position of Taohuayu is taken over by our 119th Armored Division!"
Xiao Long fired the remaining set of smoke bombs again, and under the cover of the white smoke, he returned to the Third Army’s base to refuel.
The Japanese position on the left was breached, and a large number of defeated soldiers began to gather in the middle and right wing positions.
After clearing the bunkers on the left side, the 119th Armored Division pushed the front line to the middle position of Taohuawu again, preparing to advance together with the 120th Armored Division and the Fire Phoenix Flame Tank Battalion.
Masao Isshiki watched from afar the Tiger tanks of the independent column approaching from the left wing and screamed in anxiety.
"Mr. Division Commander, what should we do next? Do we need to prepare to retreat to the south bank of the Yellow River Bridge?"
Ochiai Jinjiurang was already in a bad mood as he watched his masterpiece being destroyed, and now he was actually talking about retreating!
If he retreated like this, where would he put his face? He was still threatening to be the first to defeat the independent column, but he was retreating in the blink of an eye?
impossible!
"Chief of Staff Masao Isshiki, since the central position of Taohuayu is very critical, I order you to take command from the front, on behalf of the 27th Division Headquarters, and work closely with Colonel Shiro Sakuraba to jointly command the 2nd Regiment of the Chinese Garrison to hold the central position of Taohuayu!"
Isshiki Masao was confused. He didn't want to leave the amulet of the Yellow River Bridge!
When they really reached the middle position of Taohuayu, although the independent column did not dare to use aircraft for bombing, they still dared to use heavy artillery!
If he is unlucky enough, a 150mm howitzer shell will fall on the top of the bunker where he is. Even if it doesn't penetrate the bunker, the shock will kill him!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I think it would be more appropriate for me to stay at the headquarters and assist you in commanding the 27th Division!"
"Colonel Isshiki Masao! I hope you will obey orders and not do anything that would be disgraceful to your status as a soldier! Please respect yourself!"
Isshiki Masao shut his mouth. Things had come to this point and he could only accept the arrangement silently. He just hoped that the heavy artillery of the independent column would hit the wrong direction, so that there might be a chance to escape.
After dealing with Isshiki Masao, Ochiai Jinjiurō was finally able to enjoy some leisure time. He looked at the smoke that covered the sky for half the day, and only a few rays of setting sun could be seen.
He smelled the unpleasant odor of the burnt corpse and couldn't help but vomit acid and vomit wildly.
After a while, he straightened up and wiped his mouth.
"Baga, I'm going to take back what I lost with my own hands! I want to take back the left wing position!"
