660. The tank becomes a point of fire support

More than a dozen tanks drove all the way from Handaokou, but now the speed is getting slower and slower, and some tanks are simply swinging back and forth on the front of the Chinese army's position, not daring to advance.

This kind of greed for life and fear of death was something that the Japanese commander did not want to see, and the captain of the devil wing put down the binoculars, turned on the phone, and put pressure on the tank squadron leader.

The devil tank was originally advancing at a snail-like speed, but under the constant urging of its superiors, it had to speed up, but it had already broken through to the front of the Chinese army's position, and there was no anti-tank weapon yet.

This has already entered the effective range of the Chinese army's tank defense artillery, and there are no terrifying shells coming, and the devil tank, which has been hanging its heart, breathed a sigh of relief and slowly calmed down a little of its fear.

Now the superiors are urging again, there is no way, but to rush forward, it seems that the Chinese army's anti-aircraft artillery has really been blown up, and the tank squadron leader issued an order to the commanders to assault.

More than a dozen tanks lined up in a line and rushed over together against the frontal position of the 305th Regiment and the two junctions on the left and right.

The forward position of the frontal defense line of the 305th Regiment was still the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion, and after making a symbolic defense, they began to gradually retreat back.

This time, I knew that there was a battle defense gun in the back, so I didn't risk using human lives to blow up the tank, but this scene had to be done like it, and the devil couldn't see it at a glance.

The commander of the fourth company pulled the fourth company and pretended to use grenades and machine guns to fight at the tanks and the devil infantry behind them, and then began to retreat step by step.

Before retreating, some mines and home-made anti-tank grenades were made on the forward positions, that is, cluster grenades were buried in the ground to see which tank was unlucky enough to run over and pull the strings.

It's all a stroke of luck, but it doesn't matter, if you can blow it up, you can blow it up, and if you can't blow it up, you may blow up the devil infantry.

Sure enough, a tank pulled the string of the cluster grenade, causing a huge explosion, which blew up the devil tank and jumped more than a meter high.

Where can the devil's thin-skinned tank withstand this explosion and shock, not only instantly killing all the tankers inside, but also blowing the tank apart.

The infantry that followed behind also suffered, and the huge shock wave and dense shrapnel blew up the devils, and they exploded into a large area.

This loud bang frightened the other tanks, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to continue to move forward, so they only stopped in place, fired a few shots in front of the machine gun, and did a perfunctory thing.

With such a huge explosion and the power of the explosion, it is obvious that the Chinese army has planted anti-tank mines, so it is normal for the tank not to go.

The Japanese commander had no choice but to let the infantry leap forward over the tank, with the tank behind as a cover for fire, and when it was safe to move forward, the tank moved forward.

They have already attacked the first line of positions of the Chinese army, and it is impossible to give up because of the presence of anti-tank mines.

War is all the same.

Therefore, under the cover of tank fire behind them, the devil infantry continued to leap forward, using the ravines of the trenches as shelters and obstacles, as well as becoming a dead end to avoid the bullets of the Chinese army.

The tank was a good choice as a mobile fortress and at the same time used as a fire support, and the 37 tank guns were enough to destroy all positions on the ground, including machine gun nests and machine guns.

Therefore, while the devil jumped forward, as soon as he was suppressed by the machine gun fire of the Chinese soldiers, the tank guns behind him opened fire, and the machine guns of the Chinese soldiers were shot everywhere.

The machine guns of the Chinese soldiers could only fire a few shots, and they had to be transferred immediately, otherwise they would be bitten by the tank guns immediately.

The machine guns on the tanks were used to suppress the rifles of the Chinese soldiers, and as soon as the Chinese soldiers raised their heads, the machine guns of the tanks would strafe them, suppressing the Chinese troops to the death in terms of firepower.

This made the fourth company of the 305th Regiment very uncomfortable, saying that it could retreat to the second line of defense, but it was said that it could not be retreated at the touch of a button, but retreated with resistance.

But how to resist now, the firepower is suppressed to death, and there is no power to resist, so they can only continue to guerrilla attacks on the position, but fortunately, the devil's tank is just stopped in the distance, and there are not many devil infantry coming over for the time being.

Everyone constantly changed their shooting positions to block the leaping devils, but the effect was very average, this kind of shooting while dodging bullets to aim and shoot, and the target of the shot was dynamic and even cunning.

The commander of the fourth company can only ask everyone to shoot cold guns, harass the devils, and put the devils within a distance of 100 meters, and then they can use grenadiers to hit the devils.

But this time, the devil learned to be obedient, and when he was less than a hundred meters, he did not continue to move forward, but also took out a grenadier and shot at the Chinese army.

The tanks behind the devil also slowly moved forward, keeping a stable distance from the infantry, and could cover and protect each other.

The devil's infantry also served as a temporary mine-sweeping force by the way, and without tools, they used bombs and human bodies, and the devils were really desperate, and they didn't want their lives.

There were really devils who touched the treacherous thunder and were blown apart, but none of these could stop the devils from continuing to move forward, and they were still moving forward and advancing.

The heavy machine guns on the side of the fourth company did not dare to show up, and now the grenadiers can only fire once and run away, because the 37 guns of the devil tank have been staring at the positions of the Chinese army.

It wasn't until the devil advanced to the thirty-meter area that the fourth company began to throw grenades, but the effect was mediocre, because the devil knew the tactics of the Chinese army very well.

At this time, the devil lay on the ground, and after dodging a burst of grenades, he either greeted the Chinese soldiers and rushed out to fight the stab, or rushed over to occupy the position himself.

This time, the Chinese soldiers did not rush out to fight the stab, but chose to retreat, it seems that the Chinese soldiers were really scared? Or is the attrition so great that it can't support such a wide line of defense?

These are all things that the devil commander considers, the devil infantry just continue to fight according to the military order, and thirty meters away, the devils will roll into the trench of the Chinese soldiers in a few leaps.

Just when the first batch of devils turned into the trench, a grenade explosion suddenly sounded in the trench, and it turned out that not only was a batch of grenades planted, but the Chinese soldiers also threw a batch of grenades in the back.

The grenade buried in the trench pulled a long fuse, and the person at the other end was a little behind, and when he saw the devil turn into the trench, he immediately pulled the grenade.

The space in the trench is very narrow, and there are almost no dead ends when the grenade explodes, even if the devil wants to lie down on the ground, the grenade will explode in the ground, and there is no way to hide.

In this way, the first batch of devils who climbed into the trench almost did not survive, and all of them were killed.

Just when a group of devils behind were hesitating whether to continue to rush into the trench, the tanks behind them began to wield, and bursts of artillery hit the Chinese soldiers on the ground again.
