From a distance, the Japanese tanks saw that the enemy in front of them was wielding a shovel and pickaxe to build a position. He didn't dodge it, and rushed over after spreading out the formation. Sure enough, only mortar fire was encountered. Since none of the Japanese troops who were attacked by the bazooka were killed, the Japanese tanks here still did not know the close threat they might face.

The enemy's attention is all on the front, beware of the battle defense artillery. There were 4 commanders, sticking their heads out of the turret and searching for targets with binoculars. Their superiors told them that the frontal armor could withstand all fire below the six-pounder gun.

Zhou Youfu put his machine gun on the position and began to shoot at the target. They used Canadian light machine guns, and with each shot, one or two short points immediately retreated. so as not to be fired at by enemy fire. Of course, the purpose is not to penetrate, but only to prevent the enemy commander from continuing to poke his upper body outside the turret, so that they do not drill outside to see the camouflage flaw. As soon as the commander gets into the turret, the tank's reconnaissance field is minimized.

After all, Zhou Youfu is a veteran who started from the reconnaissance platoon and the search company, and has both commanded and fought tanks, so he knows very well what the tankers are afraid of. He used machine guns to attract the attention of the enemy, and at the same time arranged for sharpshooters, who hid in the grass and strictly ordered not to shoot from a distance. It is necessary to wait for the enemy tank to get close to 200 meters and stop, before it can shoot, of course, in order to ensure the accuracy of the enemy.

When the enemy vehicles reached the front of the position, instead of slowing down, they accelerated their advance. This is a typical reckless act of wanting to swallow an opponent in one bite. The acceleration of the vehicle exacerbates the bumps and noise, making the occupants more out of control of the situation outside.

The gunners lurking on one side were on the side, they waited for the target to pass from 200 to 500 meters in front, but until then, they could not shoot at the enemy's side armor in advance, which was not ideal and could easily hit the side and jump out.

However, the Japanese still rushed headlong, and the Japanese commander did not have much choice, and he did not receive any telegram early in the morning, and was blocked by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

All the double-barreled machine guns fired together, and locust-like bullets kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust around the enemy tank. An advantage of automatic weapons is that the gunner can track tracer bullets to correct the impact point. There will be at least dozens of hits before running out of ammunition, which can slowly test the weak points in the enemy's armor.

Immediately the sides of the tank were penetrated. The shrapnel that got into it went on a rampage in the cramped turret or inside the car. The tanks on the side of the formation stopped after being killed and began to smoke. The unhit tank was completely unaware of the situation outside, and only heard the frightening sound of single-barreled machine gun fire, but could not distinguish the direction of the sound. In this case, the commander will either take the risk of sticking his head out again to confirm the location of the threat, or he will turn around.

The Japanese commander chose to stick his head out to observe, which gave the ambushed sharpshooters a chance at last.

Zhou Youfu's troops were the first to carry out black gun training among all the troops of Chu Tingchang, and Zhou was still very childish, so he didn't promote this trick very much, and he also hid it from Chu Tingchang. He discovered early on that the black gun was highly effective in an army like Japan, where officers were always at the front and easily recognizable. Then he figured out a set of tactics and secretly trained cold gunners, of course, Chu Tingchang's staff made one or two statistics on the proportion of enemy officers and soldiers killed and wounded in each unit, and discovered Zhou's little secret, but he didn't expose him.

Zhou does not have a detailed sniper concept, and the equipment is not very professional, but unlike other units competing for American automatic weapons, he does not reject the bizarre British Lee Enfield rifle, and there are test firing and primary selection when receiving the goods, and those with poor accuracy are eliminated back, and he does not spare bullets during training.

Of course, his understanding of the black gun still stays at the hit rate of about 150 meters, requiring the shooter to have at least five or five meters of hit rate at this distance, and choosing a British rifle is because of its fast loading speed. In his experience, it is best to use a black gun to grab quickly, and if you miss a shot, you can also quickly make up a shot, in fact, in addition to the rifle, he also uses a machine gun.

After a few accurate shots, the enemy sticking out his head was knocked over by two, and the rest did not dare to take the lead. At this time, the 20mm cannon was reloaded and began to adjust the firing range for short bursts. Enemy tanks can only spin blindly in a blind state, making it difficult to grasp the angle of fire.

However, Zhou Youfu's anti-tank tactics did not stop there, he also dug communication trenches in front of the main trenches, which was a bit risky, because these communication trenches protruding from the main trenches were easy to be used by the enemy infantry, but because he expected that the enemy's tanks and infantry did not cooperate, he prepared a covert passage for the anti-tank men to attack.

The soldiers used traditional clusters* and a secret weapon provided by the British, the sticky*. Inside the shell of this strange * there is a layer of strong adhesive that can be thrown off the shell, and if thrown into the tank, there is about a half chance of sticking to its surface.

But there are two drawbacks of this kind of *, one is that the adhesive flows to the pitcher's hand, which may stick to himself and cannot be thrown out. Second, it is not very powerful.

Zhou Youfu wants everything, and these things that the British can't discard are also picked up and used. After several test throws, it was found that the British were worried that they would be redundant, and that the Chinese soldiers would not be clumsy to the point of sticking their hands.

His soldiers moved in shallow trenches, looking up from time to time to observe the distance from the enemy and their own fire, as the 20-mm guns were still firing and could hit their own men.

The first one was smeared with paste * and threw it out, snapping and sticking to the side armor of the tank. The Japanese soldiers inside heard a strange sound coming from outside, and it felt indescribable, like a dead fish or a piece of falling on the fender of a tank, which is a very peculiar experience on your battlefield.

After 3 seconds, * explodes. Even if this charge of more than 400 grams can be sticked, it is still difficult to deal with ordinary tank armor. However, the armor plate of the 97 tank was riveted and exploded at close range, and its kinetic energy was completely transmitted into it, and a large number of rivets collapsed and flew around the tank. These rivets are more ruthless than shrapnel and will unstabilize and roll when they penetrate the human body. This blow quickly dealt with an enemy tank.

On the other side, another fighter took advantage of the enemy's observation of the dead end, crossed the trench, quietly approached the rear of the enemy's car, and reached a distance sufficient to throw the six-pound cluster* out before throwing the technique* under the chassis of the enemy's tank. After the Chu Tingchang troops banned stupid, suicide attacks on tanks, the soldiers began to study tanks more to observe dead spots and weak parts of armor, rather than strapped to drill under the car.

While several soldiers rolled over and rolled down the trench, there was a violent explosion behind them. Sideways attachment shovels and track shoes flew around, and this explosion was powerful enough to kill everyone in the tank.

All eight tanks, cleaned up in 3 minutes.

Zhou Youfu's troops began to clean up the battlefield, they did not have tanks and anti-aircraft guns, not even bazookas, but they annihilated a tank just as cleanly. Smoke and dust billowed from the rear, and the enemy infantry arrived from afar.

At the same time, Chu Tingchang's command began to turn around and attack the enemy's 48th Division.

After the start of the attack by other troops, the 48th Wing remained in place and waited for orders. Many officers and men thought that the artillery bombardment in the distance was actually intercepted by the 55th Division, which was moving closer to their side. Although the sound of artillery was not like that of Japanese artillery, the enemy's weapons were captured because Mutaguchi was personally involved in everything, and the wing under the direct command of his division headquarters usually did not move around, but waited for the commander to make an idea.

The two companies of tanks of the commander of Chu Tingchang had returned the same way they had fled in the morning, and the enemy was unprepared, their cavalry was at the front of the line, resting in the shade of the trees, and the horses were put down to drink water by the small river beside them.

The extremely fast Stewart tank came to him as soon as he spoke. The first to notice that something was wrong was the drinking horses, all of which looked up at once, and their memories of the sound of enemy tanks were much deeper than that of people. The cavalrymen realized that something was wrong and got up one after another. I saw that the mountain pass in front of me was filled with smoke and dust, and the two tanks rushed out of the smoke and fired at the horses first. Commander Chu Ting once instructed that in most cases, the Japanese Madu Division needed to give priority to the targets that the Japanese soldiers needed to solve. Several horses were swept by machine guns, rolled out of the belly, and died miserably, while the rest of the horses scattered in a hurry.

The Stuart tank did not stop and rushed directly along the road, because it was expected that the enemy would not be able to deploy anti-tank weapons or bury *.

When the tank maneuvers, it only uses machine guns to strafe enemies on both sides. The two platoons of tanks were followed by half-tracks full of soldiers, which did not slow down, and the troops used a variety of weapons to strafe the fleeing enemy in all directions. Quickly pass through the ranks of enemy cavalry, and then ram over the entire infantry brigade that was alarmed, looking out on the runway road.

After all, some of the enemy's experienced soldiers, seeing the tanks scattering and fleeing, immediately set up machine guns from both sides and began to hurriedly counterattack. The last two half-tracks of the vanguard were hit by divine ammunition fired from enemy grenadiers. Paralyzed on the road. Nearby enemies surrounded the area, preparing to annihilate the Chinese troops in the car. The third wave of Sherman tanks has just appeared. From a few hundred meters away, the tanks began to cover their infantry with powerful firepower, shooting the Japanese soldiers who were shouting and rushing to the front.

The blow completely routed the enemy, and after Sherman, the troops continued to move along the river road, except for the last battalion to dismount and drive the remnants of the enemy to both sides of the road.

Chu Tingchang knew that the essence of blitzkrieg was not to slow down for secondary targets, and never give the enemy time to react. The entire 48 links were scattered by him, and the commander and communication equipment were destroyed by a *, and he was completely in a dizzy stage.

The light tanks were the first to rush to the vicinity of the Mutaguchi headquarters, where they were met with machine-gun fire deployed by the enemy, but they were unable to resist the tanks and were quickly cleared by tank fire. The tank company rushed to attack, and did not wait for the infantry behind, and took the lead in breaking through into the village.

The tankmen had already guessed that the only two-story building in the village was an important command of the enemy, because the house was the most heavily garrisoned, and the tanks directly knocked down the outer wall, rushed in, and saw a not too large crater in the yard, next to which were lying two fragmentary corpses, pieced together on the edge of the crater. There was also a saber next to the corpse, which was clearly not an ordinary soldier.

After the division commander and staff officer were killed at the same time, the temporary commander of the unit was carried away by the pain and focused on piecing together the corpses, in order to return the lieutenant general a decent one.
