There is no need to say much about the reason why the Japanese army shot and killed deserters. Of course, it was to prevent other Japanese troops from following suit and eventually leading to the collapse of the entire Japanese army.

Generally speaking, the Japanese army does this without any problem, because it can at least stabilize the Japanese army. But now, how can those lurking Japanese troops survive? This is not what they say when assigning tasks. Should they use bayonets to face the Chinese tanks?!

It should be said that these Japanese soldiers were still a little brave. In this case, they still made some attempts, such as throwing out several grenades in the direction of the Chinese team, and then rushing forward with the smoke from the grenades.

But this method obviously doesn't work. The tall and large "Sheerman" tank is opened in front. Note: The Sherman tank is 297 meters high. Most of the grenades thrown out by the Japanese army in a lying position landed in front of the tank. Some even hit the front armor of the tank and bounced back. After the explosion, it killed the Japanese army lying on the ground and continued to lurk on the ground.

What's worse is that this reminded the Chinese soldiers that there were many "lurking" Japanese soldiers underground in front of them. So with the order of the officer, the Chinese soldiers shook grenades from the gap between the tanks. With the explosion of "booming", the Japanese soldiers lurking in front were blown to the point of wailing.

Some Japanese soldiers could no longer hold back their anger. They jumped up from their hiding place and rushed forward desperately. This is the type of person who believes that "the spirit of Bushido can defeat all enemies". Perhaps they are instigated by the charges that they can't stand the pressure.

For this attempt by the Japanese army, the Chinese troops simply fired a row of bullets in front and pressed them down. Among them, the 762 machine gun on the tank was just bright at this time and there was smoke everywhere. The machine gunners in the tank were a little unclear about the target, but this was not important, because the machine guns in the tank had more than 6,000 machine guns carried by each Sherman tank. Besides, the ones that appeared in front of the tank were definitely the enemy, not the ones they were from, so as long as there were a few people in front of them, you don’t have to think too much about it and pull the trigger!

The machine guns of dozens of tanks fired one after another, and the infantry behind the tank were also firing forward. At this time, the artillery force also joined the battle group and shot one shell in front of the tank. The artillery force force actually couldn't see the target at all, but in fact it didn't need to see the target. They just need to know where the tank was driving, and then fired the gun in front of the tank and gradually extended forward.

So the bullets and shells soon suppressed the Japanese army that were planning to charge.

The Japanese army was in a situation where they couldn't walk or rushed up. If they wanted to escape, their own people would shoot in the back. The next second, the Japanese army made an unexpected decision and collapsed and fled in the direction of the sea water on both wings on a large scale.

This seems silly. Without cover in the sea, wouldn’t it completely expose itself to the enemy’s firepower?

But in fact, their only life tank cannot follow them into the sea! This can at least prevent them from facing the tanks of the China Team. The two wings are not the main attack direction of the China Team. The China Team cannot devote too much energy to deal with them. The most important thing is the 61st Guard of the Japanese Army. They are troops stationed on Kwajalin Island for a long time. Because they have been stationed on the island for a long time, basically everyone can swim. It can even be said that they are familiar with every land on Kwajalin Island. The Japanese army knows where there are reefs on the beach for them to hide.

At first, what he did was just the Japanese army near the sea, but the success of this Japanese army quickly led the other Japanese army to retreat to the sea.

Of course, the Chinese troops would not let these Japanese troops go easily, and they continued to hunt them down with machine guns and artillery, but some Japanese troops still disappeared into the sea.

This is not to say that the Chinese team has no choice but to the Chinese team know one thing: more Japanese troops are still on the front, and those who flee to the sea on both sides are just small troops. The Chinese team is not worth throwing watermelons for these sesame seeds. From this point of view, it is still very wise for the Japanese troops who escaped towards the sea water on both wings.

So at Wu Yuhang's order, the tank troops accelerated their speed and advanced forward.

As Wu Yuhang expected, the front was indeed the main force of the Japanese army. Moreover, because these main forces of the Japanese army were originally planning to charge and enter the "Wolf Corps" to fight with the Sino-US coalition forces, most of them were light-fitting. In fact, even if the Japanese army was not light-fitting, there was not much difference. The so-called heavy equipment of the Japanese army was heavy machine guns, mortars, etc., which did not pose much threat to the "Sheerman" tanks.

Other things that threaten the Sherman tanks, such as explosive packs, magnetic anti-tankres, etc., cannot play a role at all due to the coordinated promotion of the Chinese troops' scheming and eye-catching step-tanks.

So the Chinese troops entered the Japanese troops like tigers entering a flock of sheep, especially the terrain in this area was flat and narrow.

Flat means that the tank can move forward without any obstacles here.

Narrow means that the Japanese troops must be relatively concentrated.

This can be said to be a contest between the armor and thick tracks of the "Sheerman" tank 76 and the flesh and blood of the Japanese army. Of course, there is also the so-called "Bushido Spirit" of the Japanese.

But the "Bushido Spirit" obviously could not save these Japanese troops. Although the Japanese troops tried to resist with rifles and grenades in this situation, their resistance was so powerless. The tanks were like meat grinders, under the cover of bullets and artillery shells, and with the roar of motors, they smashed the Japanese troops to pieces.

The Japanese prisoners who survived the war described it as follows: "A few minutes ago, the commander was still motivating us, saying that we should not worry about the enemy's tanks. Our planes blew them into scrap iron. What we had to do was to rush into the enemy's position as fast as possible after the battle started. Victory would always belong to our great Japanese empire! But the fact is exactly the opposite. When the enemy's tanks were advancing forward, I felt that our powerful troops were like poor little sheep, vulnerable and had no power to fight back. If you don't choose to surrender, you will have to die!"

This battle can be said to be unprecedentedly cruel. The reason is that the Chinese troops rely on tank propulsion, while the Japanese army was squeezed into the narrow front and was crushed. Therefore, the entire area of ​​700 meters wide and one-kilometer-long area is full of meat mud. Occasionally, you can see that you are lucky enough to avoid tank tracks and keep them intact and struggle or resist. Therefore, the US military called this section of the road "the road of flesh and blood."
