When the first rays of sunlight from the distant horizon appeared, more than a dozen pillars of smoke suddenly rose four or five miles away from the Japanese frontline position, and the shaking of the ground and mountains then came along the surface, causing the Japanese puppet soldiers in the position to look up at the smoke pillars behind the position. After a while, before the Japanese puppet soldiers in the position could figure out what was happening, the Chinese army, which had been silent in the opposite position, suddenly began to shell, and the overwhelming artillery fire fell like hail, pulling out the firepower points of the Japanese puppet army in the position everywhere.

The protagonist of the artillery attack on the Japanese position was Zhuo Fei's 12 Type 91 105 mm howitzers collected from the Japanese army, the howitzers came from this era, so that Zhuo Fei could exchange shells from the system anytime and anywhere to provide these 12 big killers. The Japanese army was equipped with Type 91 105 mm caliber howitzers after 1936, and this kind of large-caliber howitzers that were easy to move and highly mobile became the core of the Japanese army's divisional and regimental artillery firepower once they were equipped with troops.

It's just that the Japanese army didn't expect that in the opposing position where they fought in Cishan Town for a week, there would be a mythical figure like Zhuo Fei. Relying on the map system as a means of guidance, the 12 105 caliber howitzers commanded by Zhuo Fei almost played the world's first-class artillery level, but all the Japanese heavy fire points or heavy defensive bunker fortifications that Zhuo Fei searched from the map system did not escape the possibility of being destroyed by artillery fire.

The overwhelming artillery fire seemed to never stop, and in the Japanese positions flooded by the artillery fire, the panicked Japanese puppet soldiers could only hide in their bunkers or anti-artillery holes, secretly praying that they would not be hit by the shells that did not have long eyes. "Yaga, damn the Chinese pig actually used a howitzer against a machine gun bunker? Could it be that they have so many shells that they can waste them at will? The shouting and scolding of the Japanese officers in the position looked pale and weak, in fact, they were completely overwhelmed by the artillery fire from the opposite side at the moment.

12 105-caliber howitzers captured from the Japanese army ravaged the Japanese positions on the opposite side over and over again, and when the barrels of the guns were completely hot and had to temporarily stop the shelling, the two infantry regiments that had been waiting for a long time jumped out of the trenches, followed behind a dozen armored fighting vehicles and tanks, and launched an attack on the Japanese positions on the opposite side. Armoured fighting vehicles and tanks roared out of cover and rushed straight to the opposite position, and when they were less than 300 meters away from the opposite position, the Japanese soldiers in the Japanese position, who were dizzy by artillery fire, realized the enemy's attack.

The Japanese light machine guns were moved out of the trenches and opened heavy fire on the enemy outside the position, and some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were too late to guard were immediately shot and fell. "Ironclad vehicles go sideways to protect the infantry." The commander of the tank driving in the center gave the order, and more than a dozen modified combat vehicles with black smoke spewing black smoke from their tails immediately dispersed in the shape of geese, and the heavy machine gunners in the carriages also pulled the bolts and aimed their guns at the Japanese positions in the distance.

The roar of the Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun appeared on the outer edge of the Japanese position, and as the modified tank moved sideways, the heavy machine gun in the tank was fired. In the face of the powerful destructive power and lethality of the Browning large-caliber heavy machine guns, the Japanese puppet soldiers in the position could not cope at all, even if they hid behind the floating mounds on the edge of the trenches, they would also be torn apart by the large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets that penetrated the floating soil.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom" The four British medium tanks used by Zhuo Fei to act as the main force of the frontal attack began to spit out projectiles one after another, and in the face of the Japanese army's tickling grenade grenades and light mortar shells, the four British medium tanks that had been deliberately hidden by Zhuo Fei became almost invincible. The officers in the Japanese frontline positions began to miss the artillerymen who were placed behind the position, but they did not know that the unknown column of smoke rising from the rear of the previous position came from the artillery position they had placed behind the position.

Suppressive artillery fire is always the key to the victory or defeat of the battlefield, how could Zhuo Fei let his few armored fighting vehicles and tanks face such danger, so before the attack began, he had already sent a team of New Army scouts to infiltrate the rear of the Japanese position, and successfully attacked the Japanese artillery position. Without suppressive artillery fire, the Japanese army is no different from ordinary combat units in terms of combat level, and in the face of Zhuo Fei's strong armored combat vehicles and medium tanks, they will also show helplessness and panic, and this is exactly what Zhuo Fei wants to see.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the combined artillery and armoured assault had been carried out, the Japanese positions were already in shambles, with more than 30 percent of the total number of dead and wounded soldiers, and what worried the troops was that their return fire did not seem to be effective in the face of the opponent's tanks and armored vehicles. "Boom" "Boom" Two shells from British medium tanks hit the same position of the Japanese position at the same time, and the Japanese position was finally torn open with a width of about 20 meters.

"Fire, keep firing, you can't give your opponent a chance to breathe." The Jewish commander in command of Tank 1 howled, and Tank 1 turned its gun and tore the hole bigger with a high-explosive shell. Zhuo Fei, who had been commanding the artillery group behind the position, also discovered this accident at the right time, and immediately commanded the artillerymen who had just recovered their breath to continue to load shells to bombard the Japanese position. The explosion that could shatter people's hearts and minds sounded again, and the opening torn open by the No. 1 tank continued to expand, a wave of shelling stopped, and there were no Japanese puppet soldiers still alive in a position of more than 300 meters.

"Rush, press up, press up." The infantry who followed behind the modified battle car roared up to the Japanese position, which had been repeatedly cleared by artillery fire, and while the artillery fire began to extend the bombardment, the infantry attacked the flanks along the trenches that had not yet collapsed. Less than half an hour after the battle began, two regiments of troops of the Eighth Route Army had already broken into the first line of defense of the Japanese army, which all the commanders of the Eighth Route Army in the starting position had never experienced and never thought of.

"This Iron King Eight of the dog day is powerful, if Lao Tzu's army can have more than a dozen such Iron King Ba, Lao Tzu will be able to fight to Beiping City in one go." The British medium tank galloping at will in the telescope is an invincible mobile battery, and the Japanese counterattack hitting the tank is just like tickling, and the officers of the Eighth Route Army who are watching it are itching in their hearts, and they can't wait to move these British medium tanks back to their own troops.

"Zhao Laotie, you think of good things on a dog day, there are only a few British big-nosed tanks, if it weren't for our scouts who took out the little devil's artillery wing early, they wouldn't dare to swagger in front of the devil's position like this. Don't look at them, they are not afraid of the mortars of the little devils, but if they are hit by artillery of the caliber of the 92nd infantry gun or above, they also have no chance of singing. "Some people covet these British tanks, and naturally some people oppose them, but they have to admit that these four tanks have made meritorious contributions.

In the face of the fierce offensive enemy army, after the symbolic resistance of the Japanese puppet army that was difficult to support, they took the initiative to abandon their first line of defense, and relying on the artillery fire in the rear and the almost invincible tanks and armored vehicles, the Eighth Route Army, which took the initiative to attack, successfully took over the first line of Japanese positions, and had already occupied the advantage of the terrain and began to condescendingly face the Japanese army. Without giving the Japanese a chance to breathe, Zhuo Fei lowered the height of the gun barrel and continued to carry out high-intensity artillery bombardment on the Japanese puppet army troops who had withdrawn to the follow-up defense line.

The changes in the battle in Cishan Town were sent to Shijiazhuang by the Japanese army's radio, and Okamura Ningji, who received the telegram, realized that he was in the middle of the plan, and the initial goal of the Chinese army was not necessarily Handan, but because of his own misjudgment, the Chinese army changed its battle plan. It's just that the troops that he can mobilize are all deployed on the front line of Shijiazhuang, and Cishan Town can only rely on the 30,000 Japanese puppet army mixed troops that were transferred in advance, and Okamura Ningji still doesn't believe that the Chinese army dares to have a battle with him in Handan.

The Japanese soldiers chanting battle slogans began to countercharge, and the daredevils mixed in with them had already held the fuse of the explosive pack tightly in their hands, and when they had a chance to get close to the opposing tank or tank, these daredevils would detonate the explosive bag strapped to their chests. The use of death squads against opposing armored targets was not the first of its kind for Chinese soldiers, and it was even more crazy for the Japanese soldiers who believed in serving the emperor to do so.

The tide of Japanese soldiers shouted and rushed out of their positions and rushed towards the modified tanks and tanks that were constantly spewing gunfire and projectiles, and the open field between them and these armored targets for more than 100 meters had become a road to death. It had been seen that the tanks and tanks that the Japanese army used death squads to attack did not panic, and after retreating a little, the tanks exposed the escort department behind them, and the fire nets woven by the assault rifles of the infantry guards and the heavy machine guns on the combat vehicles firmly caught the Japanese soldiers who were coming, and the daredevils mixed in with them could not get close to the tanks.

"Boom" and "Boom" One after another, the explosive bags on the bodies of the daredevils were exploded by the barrage, and even if these daredevils with the intention of dying moved the explosives bags to their backs, they still could not dodge the accumulation of large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets. In the face of the water-splashed version of the barrage, their fate could only be killed in the impact path, even if one or two were lucky enough to avoid the barrage of heavy machine guns, they could not escape the close-range shooting of hundreds of escort infantry.
