The Japanese army's offensive plan did not end when Yang Chen moved most of his troops outside the city.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo and Isoya Ryosuke and other high-ranking officials, after some simple discussion and evaluation, immediately issued orders to open fire.

The 10th Division of the Japanese Army, and the 20th Division, divided into four routes, swarmed towards Tengxian County under the coordination of field artillery fire and tank fighting vehicles.

Soon, the two armies were at the forefront of the battle, and a fierce battle broke out.

At this time, as the devil's field artillery fired one after another, Zhang Dali and Zhao Dequan also ordered the officers and men of the artillery battalion under their command to tear off the cover on the field artillery.

Prepare for the start of a fire counterattack on the Japanese field artillery positions.

Soon, however, they were dumbfounded.

Because this time, the devil's field artillery positions were not deployed in one position, but scattered everywhere.

In this way, if they want to knock it out, the difficulty will increase a lot.

Because they only locked the approximate location of the devil's field artillery according to the trajectory of the shell.

At this time, if only one or two field guns are sent to counterattack, they may not be able to hit.

And if you take carpet bombardment, there is a feeling of cannon hitting mosquitoes, the cost is too great, and it is completely disproportionate to the harvest.

On the contrary, it may expose your own artillery position because of this, and be hit by the artillery fire of the devil's field artillery.

Zhang Dali and Zhao Dequan quickly fed back the situation to the regiment headquarters by phone.

Yang Chen learned the situation and thought for a while.

Let them give up the counterattack on the devil's field artillery position, and instead cooperate with the front-line troops to deal with the invading devil infantry together.

……

At this time, tens of thousands of devil soldiers had already divided their ways, and in the process of charging, they had a fierce confrontation with the soldiers on the forward position of the Tiger Regiment.

Because the devil has tanks and chariots to act as pioneers, he is arrogant for a while.

The soldiers of the Tiger Regiment on the field position could not raise their heads at all, and there were quite a few casualties for a while.

In particular, the tank artillery of the devil is an extremely huge threat to the defenders of the Tiger Regiment.

The gunners of the devil tanks with superb gunnery can accurately hit the defenders of the Tiger Ben Regiment with almost every shot.

The soldiers of the Tiger Regiment in the fortifications of the position, even with guns were blown up.

Among them, the roof of the tank and the Type 92 heavy machine gun on the roof of the armored car also opened heavy fire at this time.

The dense rain of bullets poured down on the side of the defenders of the Tiger Ben Regiment, and when they landed, they punched bullet holes in the sandbags used as shelters, and sand and soil splashed inside.

More bullets hit the ground in front of and behind the position, splashing patches of dirt.

At the same time, the devil infantry and machine gunners also opened fire at this time.

Because the little devil was full of firepower as soon as he came up, he firmly occupied the initiative on the battlefield.

Coupled with the powerful firepower it burst out, as well as the field artillery shells and tank shells that fell from time to time, the defenders of the Tiger Regiment could not raise their heads.

Fortunately, at this time, the artillery battalion opened fire in time and provided them with fire assistance.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

One by one, the field artillery shells fell heavily in the crowd of devils attacking, and the devil soldiers were blown up with blood and flesh flying and screaming one after another.

There were even several field artillery shells that fell in front of tanks and armored vehicles.

The huge wave of air generated by the explosion directly lifted these devil tanks and armored vehicles into the air, killing and injuring a large number of devil infantry who came together.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment on the forward position finally seized the opportunity to counterattack.

They began to raise their heads out of the fortifications and fiercely return fire on the invading enemy.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang! ——”

"Da Da Da!"

"Da-da-da-da! ——”

Although the strength of the defenders of the Tiger Ben Regiment was not as strong as that of the Japanese attacking force, it was because each of them had an automatic weapon.

The powerful firepower that erupted at this time was definitely better than that of the little devil.

As these dense rains of bullets poured down over the past, the devil infantry fell in pieces like scythes cutting leeks.

The soldiers of the sharpshooter battalion raised the sniper rifles in their hands and took the key targets of the devils, such as machine gunners and the devil officers who led the charge, as the key attack targets.

As the devil machine guns were muted one after another, the Tiger Ben Regiment quickly stabilized the current situation.

However, the good times were short-lived.

The people who led the charge were basically devil veterans, and they had extremely rich combat experience.

When it was strongly counterattacked by the Tiger Bun Regiment, it quickly made corresponding changes.

one after another or in a kneeling or lying position; Lying on his stomach, squatting on the ground, raising his gun to counterattack the defenders of the Tiger Regiment.

There are also some devil soldiers who quickly move closer to tanks and armored vehicles, rely on them as cover, and continue to fire.

The marksmanship of the devil soldiers is very good, and the distance of one or two hundred meters is not a little stronger than the recruits who have just joined the Tiger Ben Regiment for less than two months.

Therefore, when they take positional versus offensive battles.

On the side of the Tiger Bentuan, they soon couldn't parry.

At the same time, the field artillery positions had to be transferred because they were hit by the devil's field artillery.

Without the fire assistance of the artillery battalion, the defenders of the Tiger Battalion were overwhelmed.

As a last resort, they had no choice but to abandon the outermost line of defense and begin to retreat along the communication trenches, temporarily shrinking the line of defense.

The devil's attacking troops seized this opportunity, took advantage of the situation, and pressed forward step by step, not giving the defenders of the Tiger Ben Regiment a chance to breathe.

Soon, the second line of defense in the east and north of the city was also captured by the Japanese army.

The defenders of the Tiger Ben Regiment in these two directions had to continue to retreat along the communication trenches, holding the third and final line of defense outside the city.

Among them, especially the defense line in the north of the city, which was guarded by the second battalion, was taken care of by the devils.

Even the last line of defense showed signs of loosening and being unable to hold on.

It is worth mentioning that the 20th Infantry Brigade under the command of the 39th Infantry Division was responsible for the attack from the north.

The 20th Division of the Japanese Army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Shanxi, but after two months, it has been re-replenished.

And in the battlefield of North China, after a period of tempering, it has been tempered into an elite division.

Under the cover of artillery fire and the coordinated cooperation of more than 30 tanks and armored vehicles, the first and second lines of defense of the second battalion of the Huben Regiment have been torn apart one after another.

At this moment, under the leadership and command of a large officer, a fierce attack was launched on the third and last line of defense of the second battalion.

As long as they break through this last line of defense, they can drive straight into the county seat of Tengxian County and make this immortal battle feat.

Therefore, all the little devils were full of energy, and they all screamed and charged forward.
