Boss Wei watched as countless mortar shells exploded up and down the tank in all directions.

These mortar shells did not hurt the soldiers of the Tiger Army. Because the soldiers had long expected that the Jiangbei Army would bombard the tanks, they all stood dozens of meters behind the tanks, lined up in a loose formation.

Anyway, as long as the tank finally reaches the edge of the trench, it will be fine, and now there is no need to walk close to the tank.

And because the Jiangbei Army was blocked by the tanks in front, it didn't know where the infantry of the Tiger Army were scattered behind the tanks, so they couldn't aim at the infantry behind them with curved guns.

If a curved gun shoots blindly at the infantry behind the tank, the probability of a fluke hit is extremely low.

In short, Boss Wei found himself relatively safe under the protection of the tank, and he opened his eyes wide to carefully observe the effect of the Jiangbei Army's bombing of the tank.

Can the side and upper armor protect the tank?

The flowering bomb set off such a big wave of air, at least it will cause a little problem for the tank, right?

On the position of the Jiangbei Army, Shi Kefa and Wu Sangui were even more blood-red.

The effect of this artillery bombardment directly determined the outcome of this trench battle. If the tanks could no longer be prevented from approaching, the trenches of the Jiangbei Army would be meaningless. The Tiger Ben Army was far better equipped than the Jiangbei Army, and once the Tiger Ben Army broke through the barrier of the trenches, God knows how these tough soldiers from Tianjin and Shandong would attack the Jiangbei Army.

Will it be crushed by the Tiger Ben Army at one time?

Seeing the flowering bombs exploding around the tank, Wu Sangui clenched his fists, just hoping to blow up the tank that had been injured by several percent. The rate of fire of the curved guns is not slow, even if a salvo can only blow up half of the steel-armored combat vehicles, a dozen salvos can destroy the vast majority of combat vehicles.

The dust and smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, and the tank gradually emerged from the smoke.

However, to everyone's shock, after a very heavy bombardment, one hundred and fifty tanks were unharmed, and the smoke and dust raised by mortar shells were slowly released.

Wu Sangui opened his mouth wide in shock, his face turned white, and he couldn't say a word.

Shi Kefa stood in the trench, watching the steel giant beast in the center of the battlefield open out of the smoke and dust area, and his hands couldn't help but tremble violently.

Where is this chariot, this is simply an invulnerable Vajra Arhat.

The thickness of the top and side armor of the tank was close to a centimeter. Such armor could have some problems if it was bombarded by an eighteen-pound gun, but the small shells of a few pounds of mortars could not be blown through in any case.

When the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army saw this scene, they all showed panicked looks.

This chariot is so sharp, it is obvious that the Jiangbei Army cannot stop it. The Tiger Ben Army is a strong army in the world, and the only thing the Jiangbei Army can rely on is the trench. Now that the defense of the trench has been broken through by chariots, how can the Jiangbei Army fight with the Tiger Ben Army?

The soldiers of the Jiangbei Army panicked in the trench and looked at the banner of the Central Army in unison.

However, the banner of the Chinese Military Department did not move at all, and it was obvious that Shi Kefa and Wu Sangui had no choice but to do anything about this steel chariot.

The morale of the Jiangbei Army was like a deflated ball, wilting all at once.

Although they knew that it would have no effect, the mortars of the Jiangbei Army did not cease fire and desperately bombarded the tanks. The chariot pressed towards the trench of the Jiangbei Army little by little in the billowing smoke and dust from the blast wave, like a steel city wall more than 400 meters long, gradually approaching the trench.

Boss Wei looked at the tank in front of him with wide eyes, and was indescribably surprised.

The tank really covered the infantry and rushed to the front of the trench.

Although more than 100 infantry were injured by mortar shells just now, on the whole, under the cover of tanks, 10,000 soldiers of the Tiger Army attacked the trench of the Jiangbei Army with very few casualties.

This tank is so sharp!

Boss Wei didn't dare to underestimate the tank at this time, in his heart, this iron lump had become a war beast that could charge into battle.

The next step is to storm the trenches.

As long as the Jiangbei army in the trench is scattered, this battle will be won. As the vanguard of his own platoon, he rushed into the enemy's trenches, and the credit was great. When the time comes, will he be promoted to one and a half levels because of his merits?

Boss Wei suddenly became excited.

In the middle military department of the Tiger Ben Army, Zhong Feng laughed.

"Zheng Kaicheng, you are worried again, the sharpness of this tank is far from what you can imagine."

Zheng Kaicheng licked his lips, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect the tank invented by the prince to be so powerful. I have to say, this really outweighs my estimates. ”

Smiling, Zheng Kaicheng said: "I thought that at least some tanks would be damaged by the artillery fire of the Jiangbei Army." Unexpectedly, none of the mortars could penetrate the armor of the tank. ”

Zhong Feng sneered and said, "The stainless steel plate produced by my Fanjiazhuang is not so easy to penetrate. ”

Jiang Chong took a breath and interjected: "The tank is rushing up, and now it is going to fight with the Jiangbei Army at close range, I wonder if these 10,000 pioneers can break through the defense of the Jiangbei Army and occupy the trench?" ”

Zheng Kaicheng proudly patted the outer edge of the trench.

"Jiang Chong, you don't have to worry about this, it depends on Benbo's ability to send these 10,000 people."

At the front of the battlefield, just as Boss Wei was pondering how to storm the trench, all 150 tanks drove to the edge of the trench and stopped in unison.

In the frightened eyes of the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army, the Central Military Department of the Tiger Ben Army sounded a loud horn.

This is a call for the infantry behind the tank to start attacking.

Tang Mingjin, the commander of the shotgun platoon not far from Boss Wei, waved his hand violently, took out a grenade from his waist, and shouted loudly: "Everyone choose the opportunity to throw bombs!" ”

Thirty-two men in the shotgun platoon ran briskly forward, carrying shotguns on their backs, fire in their left and grenades in their right.

They rushed directly behind the tank, stuck out their heads from the edge of the tank to take a slight look at the situation in the enemy's trenches, and began to throw grenades.

The grenade first ignites the fuse on the tinder, and then it is ready to be thrown. The soldiers who threw the grenades threw them directly from above the tank, one after the other, and smashed them into the trenches of the Jiangbei Army.

In the trench opposite, the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army were still holding front-loading rifles with good ammunition one by one, and were about to shoot at close range with the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who rushed up, but they didn't expect that the first thing to smash was these rattling grenades.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

Each of these grenades weighed five or six pounds, and their power was not inferior to that of mortar shells. Each grenade contained a large amount of steel chips, which sprayed in all directions with the violent explosion of nitrocellulose, and the lethality in the narrow space of the trench was terrifying.

The soldiers of the shotgun company had apparently practiced throwing grenades, and they waited for the grenade fuse to burn for two or three seconds before throwing the grenade. They threw it precisely and hard, and the grenade went over the tank, often exploding as soon as it entered the trench.

The Jiangbei army and rebels hiding in the trenches didn't even have time to dodge the grenades, and they were blown to pieces.
