Chapter 220 and Seven of Madrid Street Fighting

The first and third divisions of the Japanese army were directly controlled by Liang Bi. Under the cover of the two tank regiments of the Hualan Tank Division, they attacked the train station along the Sanares River along the way, and entered the city from Princess Street on the other side. Palace of the Republic.Cai Songpo also commanded two Japanese divisions to launch an attack from the east, advancing in parallel along Alcala Avenue and American Avenue.

There are troops attacking from the east and west at the same time, and the defenders can only divide into two groups and defend from each road.The defenders were also fully prepared. There were layers of barricades on every road. The defenders relied on the barricades and the houses on the street to form a three-dimensional firepower fortification upstairs and underground.In addition, in order to deal with the tanks of the Hualan Army, they are equipped with anti-tank grenades and Molotov cocktails, and even some Honglian 45mm anti-tank guns and anti-tank guns are equipped.

The three battalions of the [-]st Regiment of the People's Guard stood at the barricades on Princess Street, waiting for the enemy's attack.Those young men who had just joined the army were holding their rifles tightly, their eyes full of fear.The war came too fast for them, they were not even prepared, and even learned shooting in a hurry after enlisting in the army, and they did not fire ten rounds of training ammunition in total.But now they have to be the main force to guard the city, sticking to the traffic arteries, these people will inevitably be nervous.

Soon two big guys with black smoke came from a distance, and the sound of the tracks rolling on the ground struck the hearts of every guard. They knew that the real difficult time was coming.

These two tanks are the Benlang 3 tanks equipped by the Hualan Army. The commander did not need to observe carefully, but he had already spotted the soldiers outcropping on the barricade. They knew that this was the enemy's first line of defense. .The tank stopped slowly, and with the flash of fire at the muzzle, a 76mm high-explosive bomb escaped and exploded on the barricade with a bang.Broken bricks and dust were blasted into the air, and then fell to the ground one after another.The soldiers from the country in red hiding behind the barricade curled up trying not to get hurt.

The broken bricks and smoke slowly dissipated, the soldiers were choking and coughing, and the equally inexperienced officer immediately ordered to shoot.The tank gun was fired at a distance of 300 meters. This distance is no problem for the 76mm high-caliber tank gun, but it is too far for the Springfield M1903 rifle in the hands of government soldiers.

The Springfield M1903 rifle is produced by the Springfield Armory of the White Eagle State. It uses a rotating rear-pull bolt, which can be regarded as an imitation version of the Teutonic Mauser 98 series rifle.When this rifle came out, it had the shortest barrel of its kind in the world, only 1115mm long, 98mm shorter than the original GEW[-] rifle Mauser.

This rifle with 6 rounds of stamped box magazines has an effective range of 750 meters. It has become the standard equipment of the White Eagle Army since its birth, and it has not changed until now.In addition to being equipped with the national army, this rifle has also been exported to more than ten countries, and it is also a very sought-after weapon.

The Springfield rifles in the hands of the government army are not the weapons aided by the White Eagle country, but after the last world war, the Red Clothes country government purchased post-war surplus materials.It was originally intended as a supplement to the domestic light weapon Mauser 98 rifles. Unexpectedly, after the domestic revolution, the weapons and equipment were not enough, so these rifles were taken out and used as standard weapons for the new army.

Because of the bombardment of the Hualan Army's artillery, the recruits frantically fired their guns at the outside, as if they wanted to embolden themselves with this behavior and calm down their increasingly flustered mood.The power and range of these rifles were not enough to threaten the two Hualan army tanks. The commander was extremely anxious, and he quickly ordered to the people behind: "Pull up the anti-tank guns."

Soon the two 45mm anti-tank guns made by the Red Union were gradually moved onto the barricade under the pull of a large group of soldiers. The rough barrels protruded from the gap and aimed at the approaching Hualan army tanks again.A group of Japanese soldiers hid behind the tanks, shooting at the barricades with Type [-] semi-automatic rifles from time to time, and some continued to use grenade launchers to deal with the windows on both sides, eliminating all possible threats in the bud.

Some government soldiers hiding in the room saw the enemy approaching and immediately counterattacked with rifles or grenades.However, because they are afraid of being attacked by grenade launchers, they generally attack earlier. At such a long distance, grenades cannot blow up tanks at all.As a result, these people couldn't do much damage to the tank and the Japanese soldiers behind them, so they were smashed into a sieve by the Type [-] general-purpose machine guns in the hands of the Japanese soldiers.

Seeing that the soldiers in the buildings on both sides couldn't make meritorious deeds, the commander became even more nervous. His eyes were fixed on the Wolf-3 tank, and he silently counted the distance.The two tanks obviously didn't know that there were two anti-tank guns in front of them. They were still advancing slowly, bombarding the windows of the buildings on both sides with tank guns from time to time, and directly killed the government soldiers looming in between. .

"Fire." The commander finally couldn't bear the tension in his heart, and loudly ordered the artillery to fire. At this time, the two tanks were still more than 800 meters away from the barricade. The 45mm caliber anti-tank gun is definitely a large caliber in this era, so the government commander is very confident that it can destroy the opponent's tank at such a distance.After all, according to the technical officer of the Red Alliance, this kind of tank gun can effectively destroy the most advanced BT5 tank of the Red Alliance at a distance of 1000 meters.

With two muffled bangs, two 45mm caliber anti-tank guns receded abruptly, and the broken bricks on the ground were pushed by the wheels of the gun wheels and made a clattering sound.

"There are anti-tank guns." Before the tank soldier finished speaking, two shells had already hit the front armor of the two tanks.There was a crisp metal impact sound, the shell exploded on the front armor of the tank, and the whole tank trembled violently.

There was bursts of cheers from the government army, and it seemed to them that the opponent's tank had been destroyed.To everyone's surprise, the rumble of the opponent's tank engine came again, and the two tanks continued to move forward unscathed.

All government soldiers looked forward in surprise, they did not understand why such a large-caliber anti-tank gun would be ineffective.It's a pity that they don't know, not because the caliber of the Honglian tank gun is too low, nor because the Honglian country does not have special anti-tank ammunition, but because the Hualan Army's Benlang 3 tank has a 45-degree frontal armor The 45mm rolled steel armor with an inclined angle can theoretically resist any shells with a caliber of less than [-]mm coming from the front.

The first thousand 220 eight chapters do not give in

It is a pity that the government army did not know these materials, and they have no chance to correct themselves.When attacked, tanks naturally give priority to attacking the most dangerous targets.The two turrets turned slowly, aiming at the two anti-tank guns that had not yet been retreated.With the violent shelling, the two anti-tank guns were suddenly in ruins, and more than a dozen artillerymen fell in a pool of blood.

"Anti-tank guns, bring up the anti-tank guns." The commander of the government army shouted, trying to find a way to block the enemy tanks.But he seems to have forgotten that even 45mm anti-tank guns can hardly penetrate tanks, what use are those anti-tank guns.

More than a dozen anti-tank guns were brought up, and the soldiers with big arms raised their rifles and fired fiercely at the Hualan army tanks.However, these bullets seemed to be itching the tank, and had no effect at all. At most, they made the tankers hear some crisp and clanging sounds.

As the tanks got closer and closer, the tank guns approached the positions of the government troops and fired continuously. The shells exploded on the temporary barricades, and broken stone flakes and bricks flew everywhere.The government soldiers lay dead on the ground, fearing that they would be hit by shells.However, lying on the ground was not immune, because the Japanese soldiers who had approached hid behind the tanks and started shooting with grenade launchers and mortars.

Booming explosions can be seen everywhere. Although the exploding range of the landed grenades is not large, they are more numerous.The morale of the government troops finally collapsed. They howled and threw away their rifles, and ran to the rear with their heads in their arms.

Less than 700 meters behind this barricade is a new barricade, where a battalion of the government army is standing.Seeing that the barricade in front had been conquered, the defenders here suddenly became tense. Behind the two anti-tank guns placed here, the gunners quickly got busy.

These gunners were all temporarily recruited, and they had just learned how to use artillery, and knew nothing about advanced subjects such as ballistic calculations.Fortunately, what they need to operate is an anti-tank gun. This kind of flat-firing artillery does not require any calculations. You only need to use the ruler above the muzzle to aim at the enemy tank and fire directly.

Although the barricade in front was not too steep, it was more than two meters high, but this height was nothing to the Wolf 3 tank.One of the tanks spewed black smoke and slowly climbed towards the top of the barricade.

Seeing the slender tank gun protruding from the top of the barricade, the government army commander's hands were full of sweat, and his eyes were fixed on that direction.The anti-tank gun was also moving its muzzle quickly. Although it was learned from the fleeing soldiers that the opponent's tanks were not afraid of the shells of this artillery, in their hands, this was already the strongest anti-tank weapon.Even if it's for some comfort in my heart, these artillery can't be discarded.

The idling tracks gradually emerged, followed by the wide belly of the tank.The moment the Hualan army tanks just emerged, the commander of the government army gave the order to shoot.The two anti-tank guns fired at the same time, and the smoke blown from the rear seat of the gun barrels captivated the soldiers' eyes, but they did not expect that the shelling had achieved results.

One of the shells was aimed slightly lower and just hit the barricade, making a moderate explosion.Another shell accurately hit the belly of the tank.On the Wolf-3 tank, the belly armor is the most vulnerable, and it can be easily penetrated even by anti-tank guns.After being hit by the shell of the anti-tank gun, the belly of the tank caused a huge explosion. The shock wave even caused the tank on the [-]-degree slope to roll backwards, and fell directly under the barricade.

The tank was destroyed, which surprised the Hualan Army, which was advancing smoothly all the way. The infantry immediately rushed up, trying to pull the crew out.However, the tank gun shot just now penetrated the belly armor, and the shell exploded inside the tank, killing all four crew members.

Seeing the miserable situation of its companions, the remaining tank no longer dared to cross the barricade.They had no choice but to stop, ready to rely on the barricades to confront the enemy.

The artillery of one's own side made great achievements, and the government army cheered thunderously. Only then did they know that the opponent's tank was not invincible, because the thickness of the armor of each part of its body was different.This artillery boosted the morale of the government troops, and the infantry immediately began to raise the barricades, and the commander also urgently asked for help from the rear, demanding that more anti-tank artillery be dispatched.

Not to be outdone, the Japanese soldiers immediately launched an artillery attack after discovering that the opponent's anti-tank guns were a threat to their own tanks. The 82mm mortar and the [-]mm mortar were set up, and the veterans of the Japanese army with excellent artillery skills quickly adjusted the scale and quickly aimed at the target.

As the shell slipped from the muzzle, the firing pin hit the primer by using the free fall motion, the mortar flashed, and the huge shell flew out immediately.Drawing a curved arc, the shells seemed to have eyes, and fell on the opposite barricade.

There was a bang explosion, although no one was injured, it startled all the soldiers of the government army.However, those who lacked combat experience did not know that this artillery was just a school fire.After the notification from the observation post, the veteran quickly adjusted the gun mount and reported a series of data at the same time.

Then everyone adjusted the data, and the more than 20 mortars behind the barricades were ready for shelling.With a muffled bang, more than 20 shells fell behind the barricade one after another.The officers and soldiers of the government army were bombarded by intensive mortar shells before they understood what happened.Immediately after the barricades, there were many casualties. The government officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses. The wounded soldiers lay on the ground and wailed. Those artillerymen no longer cared about the anti-tank guns.Such a density of fire coverage exhausted the courage of the soldiers of the Red Clothes Nation. Except for a few people who stood firm, everyone fled in all directions.

"Hold your ground, stand your ground for me." The officer brandished a Vincetta Victoria pistol made in the country of red in his hand, angrily yelling at the deserters.Seeing that he could not stop the soldiers from fleeing, he waved his pistol and fired repeatedly, killing three deserters one after another.When the officer wanted to raise his gun to shoot the No. 4 deserter again, a mortar shell fell beside him, and the officer was immediately blown to pieces.

The attack is getting slower and slower, and the barricades on the streets are gradually increasing, but the soldiers of the Golden Dragon Army continue to advance without hesitation, because one kilometer ahead is the key department of the government army, the Red Clothes National Defense Building .

This is the military center of Madrid. Although the command headquarters there have been withdrawn, the Ministry of Defense Building is still a tall building with strategic significance.First of all, this building is extremely sturdy, with many windows that can be used as firepower points. In addition, the top of the building has a wide view, which is enough to suppress firepower on most of the city.In addition, the Ministry of National Defense Building also has a symbolic meaning. Once it is lost here, the morale of the government forces will plummet.

The first thousand 220 nine chapters capture the train station

It is for these reasons that government forces will build layers of barricades on nearby streets, especially on Princess Street, which is the main artery, in the hope of stopping the enemy's attack.But after the Golden Dragon Legion added tanks and artillery, the government became less and less effective.A large number of soldiers were killed, and the loss of weapons and ammunition was heavy. Now the government forces are forced to shrink inside the building, hoping to stop the advance of the enemy by virtue of the complex terrain.

The Japanese soldiers are very good at fighting in a small space. After surrounding the government building, the Japanese soldiers charged up with bayonet-mounted rifles, howling.The leading Japanese soldier kicked open the gate, and two bullets were fired from inside.The Japanese soldiers in the back screamed strangely, and threw a smoking grenade into it.

With a bang, two soldiers in the room were killed.The Japanese soldiers knew that there were ambushes in every room, so they never dared to be negligent.After the rooms were opened one by one, grenades were thrown directly into them, and the Japanese soldiers relied on this method to clean up the rooms one by one.

The government soldiers had nothing to do about it. They could only resist in vain with the rifles in their hands, or use anti-tank grenades directly in the corridor, and died together with the Japanese soldiers.The soldiers of the government army were also obviously very heroic, and the two sides launched a desperate struggle.

In the end, the Japanese soldiers captured the Ministry of National Defense Building at a great price, and their losses reached more than 400 people. The government army even killed [-] soldiers. The walls inside the entire building have been destroyed in such battles. The grenade was black and black, as if it had been burned by fire.

After seizing the Ministry of National Defense Building, the advantage of the Japanese army became obvious. As the mountain cannons were pulled up to the roof, all barricades within a radius of ten kilometers were within the range of bombardment, even the Republic Palace, where the government of the Red Clothes Kingdom is located, was no exception. .

Seeing that the opponent's artillery was too threatening, the government army immediately organized a counterattack. Many soldiers armed with rifles charged on the street in an attempt to take back the Ministry of National Defense building by virtue of their superior numbers.The Japanese soldiers remained unmoved, relying on the captured barricades to block the enemy's counterattack.With the intensive rate of fire of [-] rounds per minute of the Type [-] general-purpose machine gun, all infantry charges turned into clouds.Government forces suffered heavy casualties, but were still unable to recapture the Ministry of Defense building.At this time, the battle in the direction of the train station had already begun.

Liang Bi personally controlled the First Division of the Japanese Army. He led the army along the railway. Because of the wide field of vision and the full use of tank guns, government soldiers along the way had no chance of approaching.At this time, there were no trains on the railway for transportation, and the tanks simply advanced along the railway, slowly advancing towards the railway station.

Behind the tank troops, a large group looked around with their necks bowed and their guns lowered.At this time, the shortness of the Japanese soldiers came into play, and they also hid behind the tanks. However, the Japanese soldiers were less likely to be hit by the enemy because of their short stature, but they were flexible and able to use the weapons in their hands to quickly launch a counterattack against the enemy.

The desperate fighting methods of these Japanese soldiers made the government army terrified, and they didn't know how to deal with them.The railway station was already in sight, but there were a lot of piles on the tracks, which were temporary defensive positions established by the defenders.

Seeing a large number of tanks in the distance, the defenders immediately fired their guns, and artillery of various calibers began to fire one after another.The guards at the station were regular troops of the government army. Although they belonged to the second-line troops at the beginning, they had learned how to fire artillery after all, so they were given high hopes.

Shells from howitzers and mountain cannons fell nearby, blowing up dust everywhere, and the Golden Dragon Army stopped advancing immediately. "Order the artillery to deploy." Liangbi gave an order, and the artillery regiment belonging to the Japanese army division deployed artillery positions beside the railway behind.Soon the shells of the [-]mm howitzer covered a large area of ​​the station. The Hualan Army hadn't planned to take over the station in its entirety, and they didn't feel bad about the damage caused.As a result, the artillerymen of the Japanese army carried out a barrage baptism on the area near the station as if shelling in the wild, and the government artillery with a smaller caliber suffered a catastrophe immediately.The dense shells also blew up several trains. They were trains used to transport supplies. There were still full of food and ammunition in the compartments, but they were all destroyed.

The government army was so angry that they scolded their mothers, but they had nothing to do with the bombardment of the Japanese army, because they had no large-caliber artillery to use.If the shooting range is not enough, they can only be beaten passively, but the Japanese soldiers seem to have lost their aggressiveness and do not move forward, just firing shells lifelessly.

There were explosions one after another, and the roof of the waiting hall of the station was pierced by shells one after another, hitting it like a sieve.The explosion blew up the wooden chairs in the hall, scattered wood and rocks all over the ground, and the ground was more than half a meter low.The government soldiers had no choice but to curl up in a corner, bearing the shelling silently, while praying that the shelling would end soon.

As if they heard the soldiers' prayers, the artillery finally stopped.Immediately afterwards, the tank started to move again, and slowly moved towards the station, hitting the other party's piles on the rails with tank guns while walking.The government soldiers thought that the opportunity had come, and rushed up with their rifles, but they were fired by tank coaxial machine guns and Japanese machine gunners, and a large number of people were killed and injured immediately.

The Japanese soldiers rushed out from behind the tank with their rifles in hand, and rushed straight to the position in front of the station and the waiting hall. The Type [-] semi-automatic rifles in their hands fired a burst of ping-pong-pong pong, and the government army was overwhelmed and fled immediately.

After the station was captured, the Palace of the Republic was attacked from both sides. The government forces were forced to abandon their plan to recapture the Ministry of Defense building and retreat to the Palace of the Republic, while the government agencies have turned to the city center again.Under the cover of the artillery on the top of the Ministry of Defense building, Japanese soldiers unscrupulously attacked various strongholds of the government army, and the occupied area was rapidly expanding.

The two Japanese army divisions on the other side were also unambiguous. They quickly occupied the entire Prosperida area and besieged the government troops defending Berlin Park.Because this direction is not the focus of the government army's defense, the number of troops is not large, which makes the attack speed of the Japanese army much faster.
