The Japanese army that advocates the spirit of Bushido will naturally not retreat because of the destruction of the tank.

The Japanese army should have retreated at this time because this was completely different from what they had estimated before the war. They originally thought that the enemy in the airport only had light weapons, so the infantry could easily break through and defeat them under the cover of tanks, but the fact was that their tank was easily destroyed by the enemy.

But the Japanese army did not retreat. They rushed over the destroyed tank with bayonets towards Zhang Chi and others.

They all had a fierce expression like a hungry wolf on their faces, howling loudly in their mouths, and the bayonet in front of the rifle was shining, as if they couldn't wait to drink the blood of the enemy.

However, this move by the Japanese army was quickly proved to be wrong.

First of all, the machine gunners and mortars who served as fire cover afterwards were stunned when they set up machine guns and mortars toward the enemy: the enemy is behind them, and Japanese fighter jets. If they fire at the enemy, no one can guarantee whether the bullets will fly towards those fighter jets, but the orders they received were to try to protect the safety of these fighter jets.

So the machine gun only fires a few points at most, and the mortar that will blow up shrapnel can hardly stare at it.

On the contrary, the ** team was equipped with a large number of Type 97 machine guns. These machine guns burst out with powerful firepower the moment the Japanese army launched a charge. More than ten machine guns were fired wildly at the charge of the Japanese army. The dense bullets were like an invisible fist. Instantly, they knocked down the murderous Japanese army to the ground in pieces.

In fact, the Japanese army had already discovered something was wrong at this time. They had rich combat experience and knew that the enemy's firepower level was definitely not what they thought of before, but the Japanese army was like this. As long as the superiors did not change the order, they could only move forward even if they knew that moving forward was a dead end.

So, teams of Japanese troops rushed up one after another, and teams fell down one after another.

The most exciting thing among them is the Type 99 machine cannon. When using armor-piercing bullets, it can penetrate tens of millimeters of steel plates. Moreover, the flesh and blood bodies in front of you. The Japanese army, which was only charging in the past, was like a piece of toy, and instantly broke into several pieces and flew backwards. Because of its extremely penetrating power, it took a large piece of it. The bullet even knocked down the wall behind the Japanese army like flour.

"Hissar Nakasa!" This situation was soon reported to the Captain Watanabe who was commanding the battle: "The enemy's firepower is very fierce, and our tank squadron has been wiped out. The first and second squadrons of infantry are seriously injured. If they do not retreat, they will be wiped out!"

"What?" Captain Watanabe was shocked when he heard this. He turned his eyes to Asano and asked in confusion: "Didn't the enemy only have light equipment? What's going on now?!"

Staff Asano couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly realized: "The enemy must have found the equipment in the warehouse, which are the machine guns and cannons used by our fighter planes!"

"Machine guns and machine cannons?" Watanabe Nakasa said bitterly: "How many are there?"

"There are hundreds of people!"

"Where is the bullet?"

"I don't know the specifics!" Asano smiled bitterly and replied: "But these bullets are enough for hundreds of flying and fighting in the airport for half a month!"

"Bastard!" Watanabe Nakasa couldn't help but curse, and ordered the next second: "Retreat the troops immediately!"

"yes!"

Fortunately, Nakasa Watanabe retreated quickly, otherwise, the two squadrons sent in more than 400 people would be left in just over a dozen minutes.

But even so, there were only fifty Japanese troops who could come.

"Master Nakasa!" Major Suzuki, who was directing this charge, ran to Nakasa Watanabe, and reported with a crying voice: "Please allow me to continue charging. Even if I fight no one left, I will do whatever I can!"

Nakasa Watanabe could understand Suzuki's mood very well. Most of his subordinates died, but he survived. This would make Suzuki feel guilty and even feel that he was living in humiliation.

Nakasa Watanabe didn't say anything and replied calmly: "Please calm down, Suzuki Jun. There will be a chance to kill the enemy. Now, you need to tell me about the charge."

"Apart from the enemy's firepower is very strong, our firepower units cannot play a role!" Suzuki replied: "They are backed by the aircraft group to defend, so it is difficult for us to launch an attack on the premise of ensuring that the aircraft is not damaged! Please allow us to destroy these aircraft, only then can we."

"Bastard!" Watanabe Nakasa interrupted Suzuki and said, "Do you know what these planes mean to us? Without these planes, the whole Rabaul could not be held!"

"But Lord Nakazo"

"Smoke bomb, do you understand?" Watanabe Nakasa grabbed Suzuki's collar and shouted: "Use smoke bomb!"

"yes!"

Smoke bombs are indeed a good method. The reason is that although machine guns are powerful, they cannot fire if they cannot see the target. At the same time, the machine gun cannot be bayonetized. The weight of more than 20 pounds is not suitable for hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, once the Japanese army uses smoke to rush into the defense line, it will be a nightmare for the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

However, the soldiers of the New First Regiment were not new recruits who had just entered the battlefield. They didn't know how many enemies they had encountered when they were on the battlefield in Myanmar. The Japanese army was good at melee and hand-to-hand combat, so they always wanted to enter the defense line of the expeditionary army under the cover of the smoke. As soon as they played this trick more often, the soldiers found a way to deal with it.

For example, the Japanese used mortars to shoot a bunch of smoke bombs at the airport. As the smoke spread, the airport was soon shrouded in a vast white smoke.

If you are a recruit, you will definitely be at a loss when you encounter this situation, but the soldiers of the first battalion were calmly found any bottles and jars around you, such as water cups, empty kettles, empty cans, etc., and then threw them in front of the position.

There is no need to say more about what this is to do. The smoke is together. Although the soldiers cannot see it, the Japanese soldiers who walked up also cannot see it. Invisible means that they cannot avoid the bottles and jars under their feet. So in a short while, there was a "ding-ding-dang" sound from the smoke.

When they heard this sound, the soldiers would be polite to the Japanese. They would fight wherever there was a sound. From time to time, they would throw out a few grenades, which made the Japanese in the smoke scream and could not get close to the defense line set up by the soldiers. (To be continued.)
