Chapter 3188 The Iron Monster on the Dock

The IL-2 attack aircraft swooped down with a roar and dropped rows of 50 kg aerial bombs on the top of the burning Japanese destroyer.

Although it is a small potato in the aerial bomb, in terms of the amount of explosives, each 50 kg aerial bomb has the same level of power as a 203 mm high-explosive grenade.

Several IL-2 attack aircraft lined up to enter the attack channel and dived down, dropping dozens of these things on the top of the half-dead Japanese destroyer. The result is naturally imaginable.

Boom boom boom——

Boom boom——

The 50 kg aerial bomb that penetrated the surface deck and exploded in the lower cabin was really powerful. The Japanese destroyer, which was continuously imploding, was shaking left and right like a baby rocking car.

Amid the successive explosions, some Japanese soldiers on the lower deck were even thrown out through the explosion holes, and their bodies flew high like being thrown out by a catapult. It was unknown whether they were killed by the explosion or were already dead and their bodies were just blown away.

The continuous bomb attacks had sounded the death knell for the destruction of the Japanese destroyers, but some stubborn elements continued to fight to the death.

The Japanese artillery group guarding some 25mm machine guns was still firing, manipulating these 96 magic guns, which were known as the "dragon and phoenix in the anti-aircraft artillery world" together with the German 37 hand-pulled machine guns, trying to shoot down the Il-2 attack aircraft that had been attacking continuously at low altitude.

But at this moment, the bridge air defense command post had been blown away, and the remaining anti-aircraft gun positions could only fight on their own and fight a desperate battle.

The Type 96 cannon, which already had poor performance and poor firepower sustainability, lacked unified command and could not organize an effective anti-aircraft barrage to block the waterway. It was inevitable that the Il-2 attack aircraft, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, would catch the attack window and fire a barrage.

Boom boom boom——

A round of 23mm machine guns mixed with 37mm machine guns roared and hit. The Japanese artillery group, who were on duty at the anti-aircraft gun position and fought to the end, did not even have the opportunity to wail. They were immediately hit with their guns and parts and flesh flying everywhere.

On the Pacific battlefield, when they encountered the entire row of 7mm aircraft machine gun barrages of the US Hellcat fighters, they could at least leave a barely recognizable corpse.

But now facing the 23 and 37mm machine gun barrages used by the Russians to fight against armored vehicles, the fate of these Japanese anti-aircraft gun groups without any protection has completely changed.

If you really want to collect the bodies of these devils, you have to use iron shovels to shovel people, and then put them in bags to collect them, and they will be a complete devil.

The lower deck exploded continuously, and the upper deck was swept by aircraft guns.

From top to bottom, from head to tail, there was no place that was intact for the Japanese destroyer, and it finally came to an end.

The hull was seriously flooded, tilted more than 30 degrees, and continued to be unable to receive damage control and rescue. The destroyer Xia Yue, which was Nagano Koji's command ship.

After being continuously attacked by the Il-2 fleet flying all over the sky, it finally capsized and sank first and fell into the water.

At the same time, the ground attack force, which had been advancing all the way and had almost no effective resistance, had already been led by heavy tanks and followed by infantry fighting vehicles. They were full of throttle and sped up the tracks, directly knocked open the door and rushed into the port.

The Japanese Marine Corps stationed in the port and on the dock was originally a duck on the shore. It was very lame. Whether in terms of combat effectiveness or combat quality, it was not comparable to the army's idiots. It was more like a "special purpose" force specially formed by the navy to compete with the army for territory.

This group of Japanese sailors who didn't even have decent heavy weapons were brought by Nagano Koji to serve as the dock security team so that they could drive the army out of their territory.

Expecting them to be able to stop the heavy tanks leading the way, followed by infantry fighting vehicles, and a large number of mechanized infantry getting off the vehicles and raising their automatic weapons to fight. It would be more practical to hope that Nagano Koji's sunken command ship could be saved and used again.

"Tanks! So many Russian tanks! Escape, escape!"

"Where to escape!? There is no way back, there is the sea ahead!"

"Jump into the sea! Jump into the sea! The Russian tanks are running over us!!!"

Facing these Japanese marines who didn't even have a decent artillery, the IS7, which was speeding on the dock at full throttle, didn't even bother to use the machine guns, and just rolled over on the tracks.

The remaining Japanese soldiers, who were forced into a corner and saw the Slavic steel monster rushing towards them, had no choice but to jump into the sea one after another to survive.

"No, no! Ahhhhhh——"

Pah——

It was like the sound of tomatoes being crushed by truck wheels at high speed.

A Japanese soldier who fell to the ground and had no time to get up was crushed by the IS7 that hit him like a dump truck while screaming, and turned into a pool of meat paste.

The IS7, which was not affected by its huge body, continued to rush forward at high speed and stopped only when it rushed to the edge of the dock.

At this point, there was no Japanese Marine Corps who could still stand on the dock. They either fell to the ground like corpses or were crushed into a pool of meat paste and became "secondary idols". The few survivors were struggling in the water and trying to swim away.

Faced with this situation, the commander of the IS7 heavy tank that first arrived at the dock immediately picked up the radio to ask his superiors what to do, but all he got was a rhetorical answer from the battalion commander on the other end of the radio.

"Have they raised their hands in surrender?"

"No, Comrade Battalion Commander, their arms were not raised above their heads when swimming."

"Then what are you waiting for? Destroy them!"

"Yes! Comrade Battalion Commander!"

After receiving the order to fire, the IS7 heavy tank immediately turned the turret and pointed it at the enemy in the water. The commander, who put down the radio transmitter in his hand, immediately stood up, pushed the turret cover above his head, leaned out, and lifted the turret to the top. The twin-mounted 5mm KPV heavy machine gun is aimed directly.

"Use all your machine guns and fire!"

Dong dong dong——

Da da da da——

The firepower of the IS7, which was firing from all the machine guns on and off the vehicle, was fierce. The barrage of 5 and 62 mm machine guns went straight towards the Japanese troops in the water.

It is true that bullets will quickly run out of kinetic energy and lose their lethality when entering water, but currently it is not a problem at all to deal with these Japanese sailors floating on the water and swimming and escaping.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Well!!!"

"puff--"

A series of screams quickly rang out on the water. The remaining Japanese soldiers were shocked to see their comrades being smashed in the water, and they even thought about diving into the water to disable their bullets.

But how can it be so easy to dodge a KPV with a muzzle kinetic energy greater than that of a 20-gun gun?

The 5mm projectiles, which still had extremely strong impact kinetic energy after entering the water, stunned the Japanese soldiers who were holding their breath and held them down several meters underwater and exploded. They were blown to pieces in the water, and their arms and legs were flying wildly, vertically on the sea surface above. A scarlet color immediately appeared.
