Perhaps it was such a defeat in the first battle in the early morning that provoked the anger of Xi Yiyi, or perhaps Xi Yiyi thought that Li Shoushan's Mukden Independent Brigade was up to the task, and at the same time that Li Shoushan sent two infantry battalions to attack the top of the black pot.

The 1st Tank Brigade of the Kwantung Army entered the battle.

A full eight Type 89 medium tanks slowly but firmly advanced towards the Black Cauldron position, and the puppet troops of the two infantry battalions saw that they had such a killer weapon to help, and their morale was immediately greatly high, relying on eight tanks to launch a strong attack on the Black Cauldron position.

Although the 57MM short-barreled tank gun of the Type 89 tank is a scum compared to the main battle tanks of the Western powers, it is simply a human murder weapon for the national army that lacks heavy firepower.

The 57MM short-barreled tank has a barrel length of 18.4 times the diameter, a muzzle velocity of 350m/s, a maximum firing range of 5700m, a high and low firing range of -8 degrees to +30 degrees, and a directional firing range of 10 degrees to the left and right when the turret is not rotated, with 100 rounds of ammunition in reserve. The gun could penetrate 100mm vertical steel armor at a distance of 25m when firing armor-piercing shells;

Moreover, the main auxiliary armament of the Type 89 tank is two Type 91 6.5mm machine guns with 2,745 rounds of ammunition.

With such a big killer weapon participating in the battle, the pressure on the defensive position of the 288th Regiment on the top of the black pot suddenly doubled, and the firing points that dared to shoot would always be targeted by the Type 89 tanks, and as soon as the cannon went down, the civil fortifications that the 288th Regiment had worked so hard to build were blown into a sea of fire, forcing the machine gunners to shoot a shuttle bullet and have to transfer, so that it could not constitute a continuous suppressive firepower.

Two battalions of nearly 1,000 infantry approached the position step by step under the cover of the tank, and at the same time, several infantry guns fired desperately at low range, and from time to time huge explosions crushed the hundreds of defenders on the front line of the black pot to raise their heads at all.

Many of the officers and men who dared to shoot fell into the heavy rain of machine gun fire from the tanks, and in just ten minutes, in the offensive and defensive battle of Luo Wenyu, the casualties of the Chinese defenders were higher than those of the Japanese side for the first time.

Qi Guangyuan and Dong Shengtang, who were sitting in the regiment headquarters, were both pale, and they both thought that today would be a bitter battle, but they did not expect that the Japanese would drive the tank up the mountain so resolutely, the iron lump was too strong, and the machine gun bullets hit it and sparked, but they didn't even hit a piece of iron, and they opened artillery and machine gun fire more than 300 meters away, even if the officers and soldiers on the front line had the heart to blow up with explosives bags, it was impossible to cross the 300-meter line of fire, and the nearly 1,000 puppet troops hiding near the tank were not decorations.

If this continues, in less than half an hour, all the firing points that can be fired will be destroyed by tank guns, and the end of the position will be reached by that time.

"Holy shit, this is looking at our 29th Army to bully, right! I didn't dare to touch the Independent Regiment of the Central Army, and came out of tanks to fight us. Dong Shengtang, who was introverted and low-key, smashed the steel helmet to the ground with a black face, venting his anger.

In just 10 minutes, dozens of people were carried down from the front-line positions, and more than 20 of them were killed, with a casualty rate of nearly one-tenth.

If you don't quickly find a way to get rid of those tanks, in less than an hour, the three companies on the front line will have to be wiped out.

"Hmph, persimmon picks up soft pinch, Xiyi is just a little bit of ability, if Lao Tzu has a few infantry guns, he will have to look good." Qi Guangyuan also frowned tightly, and his face was extremely ugly.

The Japanese army is not using any tricks now, it is just crushed by upright equipment, which makes people feel helpless. The only way is to shake it hard and fight with them to the end, after all, there are four or five thousand people in their two regiments here.

It's just that the thought of the huge casualties that is about to come, Qi Guangyuan's heart hurts.

"Tuanzao, I suggest that you immediately ask for help from Commander Liu, hoping that he will support with artillery fire. The brothers could barely hold on, and the enemy was already approaching 200 meters away. Tang Yongming, who hurriedly walked in from outside, said.

"However, the two armies were too close to each other, and the brethren were still on their ground." Dong Shengtang's face twitched, and this thought also lingered in his mind, but it was too cruel.

"The independent regiment can even dare to die, why can't we? What's more, we have trenches and anti-artillery holes, and if we don't shell again and let the two devils rush to the position, we will be doomed sooner or later. Tang Yongming replied with a firm gaze. Also, this military order was requested by me, and as the front commander of the 288th Regiment, I requested that I lead a company to defend the position and let the other brothers withdraw first. ”

"Brother Yongming, why are you doing this?" Dong Shengtang is a rough man, and his tears almost came down.

"Tuanzao, Commander Dong, these days, the independent regiment under the leadership of Commander Liu has killed the enemy like hemp, but the 288th Regiment and the 289th Regiment of my 29th Army have not built an inch, but the domestic newspapers regard us as heroes. Little devils are not afraid of the dead, and neither are we. Tang Yongming said uprightly.

。。。。。。。

"Good man." After Liu Lang answered the phone, although he also had a hidden pain in his heart, he still couldn't help but praise him.

The request of Tang Yongming, lieutenant colonel of the 288th regiment, is undoubtedly a suicidal request, the Japanese army is not stupid, as long as the shelling begins, they will inevitably rush towards the defender's position, and it is safest to intertwine with the defenders, if you want to destroy the living force of the Japanese army, your artillery fire must extend to the position.

Everyone who can make such a decision is the purest soldier, the most respectable soldier.

"Zhao Ergou, I order the artillery company to suspend support for all our positions, concentrate all mountain artillery to fire 100 meters in front of the Heiguoding position, remember, before receiving the second order, you must not change the artillery scale, if a shell falls on the friendly position, I only ask." Taking a deep breath, Liu Lang ordered sternly on the phone.

"Yes, sir." Zhao Ergou took his life with a bitter face.

He knew Liu Lang's temper very well, and once he said so, it would be an unchangeable order, even if it was difficult to do this military order.

He Zhao Ergou can control the shell within 50 meters, but it does not mean that other gunners can also be not. Everyone is a sharpshooter, even the most daring YY person, he doesn't dare to think so.

"The platoon leaders of each squad are all for Lao Tzu to personally operate the artillery, and they are all accurate for Lao Tzu, there are brothers of the 29th Army, if anyone beats Lao Tzu crookedly, the commander asks Lao Tzu to go to the engineer platoon to dig a pit, and Lao Tzu will dig a pit first and bury you." Zhao Ergou stood in front of a Bofors mountain cannon and angrily gave orders to his subordinates.

"Company commander, what should I do if the little devil's cannon retaliates?" Artillery platoon commander Geng Dazhuang asked cautiously.

"Regardless of them, fully support the friendly army, if people dare to die, then Lao Tzu will accompany them to go crazy." Zhao Ergou's eyes narrowed, and he replied without hesitation.

Through the artillery battles in the past few days, the Japanese army has become more and more familiar with the position of the artillery company, although there are mountains and fortifications to protect it, but there are still four mountain guns that have been blown up by howitzers, and the artillery has also sacrificed more than 20 wounded and more than 20 people, and now the entire artillery company plus the personnel temporarily transferred from other combat companies is less than 100 people, leaving 6 41 mountain guns and 2 Bofors mountain guns, a total of eight guns.

What's more, all the Japanese mountain guns are maintained by the shells captured last time, and after two days of shelling at any cost, there are not many shells in stock. Fortunately, the stock of shells for the two Bofors mountain guns was still sufficient, otherwise in a few more days, he, the commander of the artillery company, would only have some mortars left to command.

However, Zhao Ergou also knows the importance of the position at the top of the black pot, without them to protect the flanks, the independent regiment will be finished.

It's not so much risking your life to support your allies as risking your life to save yourself. 18110
