However, compared to the number of mines encountered by Shoheishiro and his brigade before, the mines here were basically cleared by the heavy shelling of the Japanese army. In particular, those mines that were specifically designed for anti-tank use were detonated by shells.

Listening to the rumbling of the tank from the smoke screen, Qin Chuan's face was very solemn.

Because until now he has not heard of the detonation of anti-tank mines. Even the explosion of infantry mines, only two were heard.

In other words, the Japanese artillery shells directly detonated all the hundreds of mines planted in the front block.

Although this was expected by Qin Chuan, so many mines were detonated by direct Japanese artillery shells, and he still felt a little pain in his heart. There are so many mines, which add up to more than 100,000 meritorious points.

"Inform the platoon commanders and listen to my orders. At this time, the whereabouts of the Japanese troops were hidden by a smoke screen, and everyone had to obey my orders. Qin Chuan said.

At this time, the third battalion, he and Nameless, were equipped with infrared night vision devices, which could roughly know the location of the Japanese army.

The difference between this time and the last time was that the Japanese army led the way with the infantry, followed by rumbling tanks. Because of the cover of these smoke screens, they thought that the advance of the infantry would not be too disturbed by the enemy's machine guns, so that the infantry could be taken by surprise.

Combined with the tank units in the rear, their attack this time will break through the enemy's defensive line on Ping An Street with minimal casualties.

"The enemy's forward infantry, two hundred meters away from Ping'an Street, with a number of about two hundred, is distributed in front of the frontal position of the entire Ping'an Street." Nameless used infrared night vision devices to accurately detect the position of the Japanese army at this time, and reported to Qin Chuan at the same time.

Qin Chuan conveyed this information to the ears of those company commanders and platoon commanders through walkie-talkies, so that they and their soldiers could have a rough grasp of the movements of the Japanese army.

"Brothers, the Japanese army is still two hundred meters away from us, and they are all ready for battle. Molotov cocktails and grenades are ready! After a while, he greeted the little devil's head fiercely. Chen Haochen said to Xia Liang, the soldier below.

Just a few minutes later, Nameless' second debriefing arrived.

"The Japanese army is a hundred meters away! And the pace of advancement has been accelerated. ”

In the vast smoke screen, Nameless could see through the infrared night vision device that the small red dots representing the Japanese army were speeding up.

In fact, it is not necessary to say that the soldiers stationed at the forward position of Ping'an Street have also been able to feel the ground vibration caused by the march of twenty medium tanks. and the roar of the tank engine, all of which heralded the approach of the Japanese army.

It's just that because of the smoke screen, they can't see the neighborhood in front of them.

"Fifty meters!!" Nameless reports again.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan immediately shouted on the walkie-talkie, "Start attacking!! ”

His orders were transmitted directly to the rest of the battle line through the walkie-talkie. The company commanders and platoon commanders also immediately shouted at this time, causing their soldiers to open fire immediately.

"Da Da !!"

The machine guns roared first, followed by various rifles and flower machine guns.

The Japanese infantry advancing through the smoke screen didn't actually know that they were approaching the Ping'an Street neighborhood. The smoke screen hid their movements, as well as the Ping An Street they needed to attack.

With the sound of gunfire, although the specific position of the Japanese troops in the smoke screen could not be seen, seven or eight machine guns roared at the same time, and the dense fire network formed also caused a large number of Japanese troops charging in front to fall to the ground.

Through the smoke screen, they could see the flickering light of fire, which was where the enemy's machine-gun fire was located.

The Japanese tanks and machine gunners were also unambiguous at this time, and immediately began to form a battle formation, and began to frantically return fire at those places that were flickering with fire.

The Japanese army had 20 heavy machine guns and 20 tank guns. At this time, these machine guns and artillery of the Japanese army did not need to be aimed, but they fired fiercely at the block in front.

With such ferocious firepower, even if it can't hit the enemies behind the cover, it can suppress the enemy very well.

"Keep going!!" Ping Xiaochuan shouted, and continued to lead his soldiers to advance towards the Ping'an Street block without stopping.

At this time, the smoke screen has gradually dissipated, and the strength of the Chinese and Japanese armies is getting closer and closer. At this time, the soldiers of the third battalion stationed at the forward position of Ping'an Street could clearly see the infantry of the Japanese army in front and the figure of the tank getting closer and closer.

Molotov cocktail !! Qin Chuan shouted, and the Molotov cocktail launcher set up behind the bunker began to fire its Molotov cocktail at the advancing Japanese army at this time.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The moment the Molotov cocktail hit the ground and shattered, a large amount of flame splashed on the ground. Many Japanese infantry who rushed to the front were directly hit by incendiary bombs, or smashed on their side. The flames that sputtered out directly enveloped their bodies, turning these Japanese soldiers into burning men.

They wailed frantically, rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the burning napalm on their bodies, only to make the viscous napalm stained all over their bodies.

However, such a terrible scene did not stop the Japanese advance, and they kept continuing to advance, raising their rifles and shooting.

The marksmanship of these Japanese soldiers was accurate, and some soldiers were shot in the head by a Japanese soldier dozens of meters away because they did not hide well.

Looking at the Japanese tanks that rushed out of the smoke screen, there were still a large amount of napalm burning above several of them.

However, because of the defeat of Ogawa, the engineering troops made the roof of these Type 89 tanks have been sealed and improved. This makes these viscous napalm unable to flow into the cockpit of the tank, causing damage to the occupants inside.

"Good fellow, come prepared!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Japanese tanks that were covering the Japanese infantry in the rear and kept moving forward.

But he also knew that destroying these tanks head-on would inevitably pay a very heavy price, so he immediately asked Wang Daliu, who was responsible for burying the bomb in the rear, on the walkie-talkie: "Wang Daliu, how is the bomb buried?" ”

Wang Daliu said: "Ten minutes, let the brothers hold on for another ten minutes, we are now wiring the detonator to the block behind." ”
