Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 530 530 is lost

"Get off the road! Press to the right!" Liu Guozhu didn't know if there was the hidden artillery nearby, so he decided to choose a more secure attack route.

Since the infantry following the tank were all on the right side of the road, he could just cover these soldiers by driving over at this time.

So the No. 4 tank turned so lightly, rolling its tracks and shaking the dirt as it rushed down the road.

As soon as it rushed down the roadbed, the Qi soldiers on the other side of the road could hardly see the iron lump. They lost their target and were no longer a threat.

 For a time, the Qi army here regrouped, collected the corpses, repaired the defense line, and actually stabilized their position.

But the pressure on the Qi army on the other side suddenly increased. The directional machine guns on the tanks had been targeting the other side, but now they turned around and fired on this side. They suddenly had to face the fire of two machine guns. .

The main reason why Liu Guozhu made such a choice was that he was prepared to repay the favor of the infantry platoon leader for taking the risk just now to inform him of the threat.

 In that dangerous situation, he knew that if the threat could not be found quickly and eliminated, he and his tank would be in great danger.

Since the other party climbed onto the tank to report the news regardless of risking his life, it is logical that he should now cover the infantry and approach the village as quickly as possible to reduce unnecessary casualties.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Liu Guozhu is not sure. There is an ambushed artillery on the right side of the village. It is hard to say whether there will be one on the left side of the village.

If he drove off the roadbed in this way, the Qi army artillery that might be hidden on the left would be unable to aim due to the obstruction of the roadbed. He had also avoided a threat!

The bullets crackled on the earthen wall, and the soldiers of the Qi army fled towards the village howling like ghosts. With the cover of the tanks, the soldiers of the Tang army suddenly had a chance to advance. They jumped out of the bunker one after another, hunched over and rushed to a closer place. front position.

 In this state, people have been completely controlled by emotions, adrenaline is secreted crazily, and no one is thinking about retreating or not.

Liu Guozhu commanded the tank to drive off the road. His tank suddenly started to bump. Reloading while moving was obviously impossible, but it was not too troublesome to reload and fire after stopping.

"Boom!" The fourth cannonball was fired, and another house in the village was damaged. The flying rubble jumped up high and then fell hard, ravaging the surrounding Qi army in a state of embarrassment.

 At this time, the No. 4 tank was already close to the edge of the village. The surrounding Qi troops could no longer hold on and retreated one after another. The pressure on the Tang soldiers who followed immediately dropped sharply.

"Attack! Attack!" Liu Guozhu ordered loudly and excitedly, then grabbed the handrail beside him: "Charge into the village! Separate them!"

He knew that as long as he rushed into the village, he could avoid the artillery fire deployed by the enemy - no normal person would deploy an artillery gun pointed at him, not in most cases!

A few seconds later, the tracks of the No. 4 tank hit the earth wall outside the village, shattering the wall and pushing down the upper half of the earth and rocks.

With the continuous rolling of the tracks, the tank rolled over the remaining half of the low wall, raised its front head high, and then rolled over the wall with its center of gravity, and the front of the vehicle crashed heavily again.

This kind of brutal collision not only made the Qi army burst into fear and collapse even more crazily, it also improved the morale of the Tang army who followed.

Almost at the same time, two Tang Army soldiers carrying submachine guns rushed into the village behind the tank, followed by two more Tang Army soldiers carrying grenades.

"Tu tu tu tu!" Leaning next to the fence where the corpses of the Qi soldiers were still hanging, he fired a shuttle at the retreating Qi soldiers. The Tang Jun's submachine gunners simply changed their magazines while observing the surroundings. enemy situation.

They had already rushed into the village, and only then did they realize how much supplies and equipment were piled here.

 The trucks and horse-drawn carriages parked randomly are basically full. Some were filled with ammunition and ammunition, and some were piled with food.

The Tang Army grenadier carrying a grenade threw it out, and a grenade engraved with grid patterns rolled into the bottom of a car.

 The next second, a huge explosion blew away the car and also detonated the ammunition loaded on the car.

The tragic explosion made the earth tremble, and the fragments of the car torn apart by the explosion even hit the body of the No. 4 tank commanded by Liu Guozhu, making a clanking sound.

The Qi army was completely confused and now they could not figure out the situation. They did not expect that the Tang army would invade the village so quickly, so they seriously miscalculated the strength of the Tang army.

They thought that they were attacked by at least a battalion or even a regiment of the Tang Army, so the commanders on the other side of the Qi Army made a bold decision in order to defend the village.

In a desperate move, the Qi army asked the soldiers on the other side of the village who had just stabilized their position to start a counterattack, preparing to go behind the Tang army to disrupt the opponent's attack.

In this way, the Tang army was attacked from both sides and was likely to change direction and fight out of the village. This might buy the Qi defenders in the village enough time to re-build their defense line.

But soon the counterattacking Qi troops were stunned by bullets from the flank! They did not expect that there was a Tang army in the woods on the other side of the road. The sound of the MG43 machine gun firing was eerie and terrifying, as if tearing cloth, swallowing the lives of dozens of Qi soldiers in one breath. The Qi army, which failed to counterattack, was completely in disarray. Although there were still officers urging their men to return to the battlefield, the defeat was already very obvious.

What makes people laugh or cry is that the support artillery fire from the Tang Army arrived at this time. By coincidence, it almost hit one of its own people.

The 60mm cannon at the rear fired several shells, all of which landed in the village, which indeed caused enough chaos.

Unfortunately, Liu Guozhu had already led his tank into the village at this time, so a 60 mm caliber mortar shell landed less than 20 meters away from his tank, scaring Liu Guozhu who was looking out to observe. One jump.

Seeing that the scene was already in chaos and not many Qi soldiers were continuing to fight, Liu Guozhu gritted his teeth, pressed the intercom and ordered: "Stop! Maintain fire suppression! I'm going to communicate with the infantry! Be careful not to let the Qi army Get closer to the tank!"

 After giving the order, he took off his earphones, then got out of the hatch with both hands, turned over and jumped out of the tank.

The moment his feet just landed, he suddenly found a Qi army soldier passing in front of him. The two of them stared at each other for a moment, and then the Qi soldiers ran away in a panic.

Liu Guozhu subconsciously touched the pistol at his waist, but when he saw the Qi Army soldiers running away, he also quickly ran to the bunker where the Tang Army soldiers following his tank were.

  Throughout the whole process, Qi Jun did not even fire at the place where he was. It seemed that the battle here was over.

He leaned over the collapsed courtyard wall and saw the infantry platoon leader who had just climbed onto his tank.

The platoon leader had just fallen into the tank. Fortunately, he was not injured, but his body was covered with dust and he looked quite embarrassed.

"Sorry!" Liu Guozhu shouted apologetically, knowing that he was driving too fast and seemed to have thrown this brave comrade off the car.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The other party looked at the other side of the street, where Qi Jun's position is still there: "Are you crazy? You just ran here like this?"

"Weren't you crazy just now?" Liu Guozhu asked with a smile, and then immediately continued: "Hurry up and send someone back to report the news! Your mortars may accidentally injure our own people!"

"I've sent someone to report the news! I don't know the battle situation on the other side!" the infantry platoon leader said somewhat depressedly: "Now we only have 5 people left!"

 Originally, in the entire combat plan, there was only one infantry squad plus the platoon leader, and there were only 13 people in full force.

During the attack just now, one soldier was shot in the head and died on the way, and another was injured in the shoulder and could not continue fighting.

When they rushed into the village, one person was wounded in a close encounter. This time, he was not so lucky. The wounded man lost the ability to move, so he had to arrange for a soldier to carry the wounded man down.

In addition, the squad leader was assigned to take the machine gun team to establish a machine gun position on the other side, which was equivalent to taking away four more people.

 So now, including the platoon leader, there are only 4 infantrymen left to cover Liu Guozhu's No. 4 tank.

 “Are you going to retreat?” Liu Guozhu knew that if they continued to fight, something big might happen to them. The ammunition carried by the soldiers is limited and will be exhausted quickly in such a fierce battle. His tank had fought all the way here and didn't have much ammunition left.

"Although I am reluctant, I think it is a good idea to withdraw from the battle now." The platoon leader said to Liu Guozhu.

"Platoon commander! Platoon commander! They...they surrendered!" A Tang Army soldier holding a submachine gun shouted excitedly at this time.

"What?" The platoon leader craned his neck and looked towards the street, just in time to see groups of Qi soldiers with their hands raised in the air, looking at the No. 4 tank lying in the middle of the road in horror.

The battlefield fell silent, and several frustrated Qi officers stood in the crowd. A few minutes ago, they were still fighting this steel monster, but now they were ordered to hand over their weapons.

"Huh..." Liu Guozhu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the four gray-faced infantrymen beside him with lingering fear, and grinned silently.

The platoon leader who was about to retreat just now glanced at Liu Guozhu and smiled too, showing his big yellow teeth. He skillfully took out the cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and put it in his mouth, but there were no matches everywhere: "X...the fire is lost."

Hmm, pay off the debt...
