One hundred meters.

The Japanese rushed forward with a loud howl in the spray of bullets and shells. In the light of the flares, Zhang Chi could even see their faces distorted like beasts, as well as the glittering cold light on the rushing knives.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Chi had had a few combat experiences before, he would have been mentally prepared at this time, and he was afraid that his feet would be weak when he saw this scene. But even so, Zhang Chi was still so nervous that he was panting.

This may be the momentum often said in the novel, Zhang Chi admits that the Japanese troops do have a wild, ferocious, and ordinary troops do not have a momentum, and it is no wonder that although the British army has advanced equipment and more troops, it still has to collapse in front of the Japanese army.

Eighty meters.

The covering units of the Japanese army were not idle, they fired strings of bullets and various shells in the direction of the expeditionary force.

THE BULLETS ARE MACHINE GUN BULLETS, AND MOST OF THEM HIT THE FRONT ARMOR OF THE TANK WITH A BEAN-LIKE "HORN" SOUND, AND OF COURSE THEY CANNOT POSE A THREAT TO THE TANK, BECAUSE EVEN THE FRONTAL ARMOR OF THE M3 LIGHT TANK IS 38MM THICK, WHILE THE JAPANESE ARMY'S TYPE 92 HEAVY MACHINE GUN CAN BARELY PENETRATE ABOUT 10MM STEEL PLATE.

The reason they did this was because the tanks of the expeditionary force were about to run up, and it was useless for them to keep the bullets. Second, it can cause a certain amount of psychological pressure on the tank crew of the expeditionary force, for example, the commander does not dare to poke his head out to observe. This minimizes the tank's external perception to reduce its damage to the charging Japanese troops.

The cannon is a mortar and a grenadier.

These are also difficult to pose much of a threat to tanks, especially grenadiers, which fire grenades that bounce off even a direct hit on the tank, and even if they don't, their explosive power is not enough to blow through the tank's armor.

But the Japanese still hit these shells in pieces, and they still hit between the two armies...... Their purpose was obvious, that is, to use the splashes from these shells and grenades to interfere with the sight of the tankmen of the expeditionary force, so that the machine gunners and gunners in them could not accurately aim at the target.

Sixty meters.

It should be said that the Japanese army's tactics of interfering with the line of sight were quite effective, which made the bullets and shells fired by the tanks of the expeditionary force fierce, but a considerable part of them were indiscriminately fired...... Of course, this was partly due to the lack of training of the expeditionary force's tankmen, who had only been training for three days.

This made the Japanese army closer and closer to the expeditionary force, and Zhang Chi couldn't help but nervously glance at Wang Mazi, who was also advancing behind the tank, not far away.

Wang Mazi, as a regiment commander, originally did not need to directly participate in this kind of front-line battle, but according to his words, that is, if this battle cannot be won, the entire 200 divisions will be trapped in Tonggu and wait for death.

This is indeed true, so as the commander of the regiment, he rushed to the front line with his own guard platoon.

Not to mention, this is really useful, the soldiers of the engineering regiment will take it for granted: the regiment is not afraid of death, what are we soldiers afraid of?! So they followed the tanks step by step.

Forty meters......

Zhang Chi couldn't help but glance at Wang Mazi again.

You must know that this has reached the distance of throwing grenades, although Zhang Chi does not have much military knowledge, but he knows that although the bullet will not turn, the grenade will go in a curve, and if you get closer, the Japanese army can throw the grenade at the infantry behind the tank, which is likely to cause the expeditionary force to separate and be defeated.

But Wang Mazi is still waiting, waiting......

It wasn't until he saw the Japanese soldier reach out to touch the grenade that he shouted "Fight!" Then he took the lead in raising his pistol and firing a shuttle of bullets at the enemy.

Suddenly, the gunshots rang out, and the soldiers hiding behind the tanks came out one by one and raised their rifles to shoot a round of bullets at the Japanese soldiers, and the soldiers at this time used Enfield, which was known as the fastest rate of fire in the bolt rifle, so as soon as they started to shoot the bullets like raindrops towards the Japanese soldiers who were charging.

At this time, Zhang Chi couldn't help but admire Wang Mazi's choice of the timing of the fight, because Zhang Chi found that many Japanese soldiers had just opened the fuse of the grenades and were knocked to the ground, and those grenades undoubtedly exploded in their own ranks.

It was a veritable collision of steel and flesh...... Although the Japanese army has courage and their charge is also very imposing, but in modern warfare, especially in the development of individual weapons, courage and momentum are not enough, but also the cooperation of weapons and equipment.

This has been verified again and again on the anti-Japanese battlefield in China...... How many warriors charged at the Japanese tanks with rifles and bayonets, but they fell in pieces.

At this moment, on the battlefield of the Sedang River, where the 200th division broke through, although the opposing sides were still the Chinese and Japanese armies, the situation was changed, and the Japanese army charged the steel defense line composed of the ** squadron with bayonets.

The result...... With the screaming of bullets, the rain of bullets brought blood flowers on the Japanese soldiers, and even many Japanese soldiers were beaten to the point of being inhumane when they fell into the river.

Like other fighters, "Bang Bang ......" used a skillful rapid-fire action to empty the ten rounds in the magazine in one go when he flashed out of the tank, and then retreated to the back of the tank to load the magazine under the cover of the tank.

The instructor once said, "Don't waste time aiming, all I want is for you to run out of bullets!" ”

This may be a bit extreme, but in fact it is very much in line with the current situation of the engineer regiment and the battle of the Sedang River.

The reasons for this are...... The Engineer Regiment is not the main combat force, and there are few guns that are accurate in the first place (if they were accurate, they would have been transferred to the main combat unit a long time ago), and now they have suddenly changed to an unfamiliar rifle like Enfield, which is even more inaccurate on the whole.

It just so happened that Enfield's biggest advantage was the rate of fire rather than the accuracy, so he simply gave full play to its advantage of fast rate of fire: Little Japan was 100% hit, but it could only shoot five to eight bullets a minute, and we were one hit in a hundred, but 30 bullets were fired in a minute, so the whole army shot out a rain of bullets...... Even if a blind cat touches a dead mouse, the Japanese army will not be able to stand it.

It is said that it is suitable for the battle of the Sedang River, because this is under the charge of the Japanese army to launch the "Jade Shatter Attack", if the rate of fire is slow, the ordinary rifle has not fired two bullets, and the Japanese army has already rushed in front of them.

It should be said that the Japanese army also made this plan, they thought that the rifle equipped by the squadron should be the Mosin Nagant reported by the 55th Division, if they knew that it was the British Enfield, then they would definitely have something to worry about before the charge.

However, there were no ifs on the battlefield, and the Japanese army's "unexpected" one after another doomed them to a fiasco at the Sedang River tonight.
