" Boom! Boom!" Two deafening sounds of cannons were heard almost at the same time.
The 88mm caliber shell was the same caliber as the Tiger tank of Country D. In the future, this caliber was of course far behind, but in 1937, this was the largest caliber tank cannon in the world!
The moment the cannonball was fired, even the air was distorted.
One of the shells missed, but the other accurately hit a Type 97 tank.
Explode!
25mm tank armor, 15 tons of combat weight, 57mm short-barreled cannon. This kind of garbage tank could easily deal with the national army that did not have many tanks. Unfortunately, they were facing the Grizzly Bear Tank from the Red Alert System!
The four passengers in the tank were killed on the spot. No, before they died, they had already been cooked by the instant high temperature produced by the shell!
The pitiful 25mm thick armor of the Type 97 tank was penetrated by the 88mm caliber shell fired by the Grizzly Bear tank! It directly exploded inside the tank!
The metal shards, which were covered in blood and pieces of cooked meat, scattered everywhere!
This Japanese infantry regiment was a unit under Tanigawa Shoufu's 6th division. They were ordered to search and destroy the remaining enemies in the north of the city!
The Japanese army didn't pay much attention to the destruction of the 100-man team because they thought that the Chinese soldiers had lost the will to resist. There were scattered soldiers, and there were cowards who took off their military uniforms and pretended to be civilians in an attempt to avoid the battle.
They heard gunshots, but they didn't think it was serious. There were more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers in Jin Ling city, which was equivalent to three divisions. They were busy looting and killing people in Jin Ling city, and they didn't expect that there would be a military force that could threaten them in an enemy country that was completely under their control.
However, the moment the tank fired, the entire Jin Ling city was in an uproar!
At this moment, Ning Zhenhua was leading 20 Red Alert infantrymen. Some of them sneaked through the ruins, while others followed behind the tanks and advanced forward.
The two Grizzly Bear Tanks were moving very slowly.
The artillery shells were fired continuously. The targets were the four tanks and vehicles of the Japanese army.
When the Grizzly Tank appeared in the Japanese's field of vision, the Japanese were all dumbfounded. The prototype of the Grizzly Tank was the Chieftain Tank that was equipped in the Eagle Kingdom in 1967. Whether it was in terms of appearance or performance, it far exceeded the tanks of any country in 1937.
Their first reaction was-it was huge!
They hadn't seen a bigger one yet! The Grizzly Bear tank was only a medium-sized tank. It weighed 57 tons, almost four times heavier than their Type 97.
The power of the 88mm caliber cannonball could not be underestimated. It was simply unstoppable. Four Type 97 tanks were blown up one after another! None of them were intact. All of them had exploded into ruins!
The Japanese soldiers who had been fighting in China had never seen such advanced tanks. They were stunned.
After they came to their senses, the troops quickly moved to the buildings on both sides of the street to avoid the bombardment. At the same time, the Japanese gunners quickly positioned the Type 92 infantry cannons and attacked the tanks in front.
If they didn't launch an attack, the Type-92 cannon would be hard to find in a crowd. As soon as they launched an attack, the commander of the Grizzly Bear Tank immediately discovered the location of the enemy's infantry cannon.
"Fire!"
The cannoneer and assistant cannoneer worked together and quickly fired.
Amid the gunfire, the Grizzly Bear Tank's range was far greater than the Japanese's infantry cannons. It instantly blew up a large number of them, including their cannons.
The difficult battle had just begun!
Taking advantage of the complex environment in the city, the Red Alert infantry relied on the firepower advantage of the M3 submachine gun to block the Japanese who tried to charge at the Grizzly Bear Tank.
The key to this battle was to fight for an advantageous position. Ning Zhenhua, the king of the special forces, was very good at street fighting. One had to know that in the future, the environment was mostly urban, so the proportion of street fighting was naturally higher than in this era. Street fighting was a very important training program for the special forces.
Even though they were few in number, they relied on the deterrence of the two Grizzly tanks. On the other hand, their understanding of urban warfare was far deeper than the Japanese. They fought for half an hour before one infantryman's arm was grazed by the enemy's bullets.
A small wound was not a problem at all. However, there were more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers. The difference in numbers was too great. When the Japanese realized that although the enemy had strong firepower, they had very few soldiers, they launched an even more fierce charge.
Casualties began to appear!
One dead and two injured!
Ning Zhenhua knew that the situation was urgent. He had to win this battle!
They had already taken out the enemy's infantry cannons and small tanks, so the rest of the Japanese were no longer a threat. Ning Zhenhua immediately found a favorable location and placed two machine gun bunkers in succession. He let the infantry retreat quickly and arranged for the wounded soldiers to enter the bunkers for simple bandaging. He also transferred two people to operate the machine guns.
The two M1917 Browning heavy machine guns displayed their immense power. Together with the two Grizzly tanks, they formed an insurmountable position.
