In the position that Zhang Wei and his men attacked, all kinds of firearms of the Japanese army were ready to be fired after the shelling, and the Japanese firearms in the position were mainly light weapons of the infantry detachment, and heavy machine guns were placed in the temporary bunkers in the positions, and light machine guns and bunkers were used as fulcrums to form a first-line defense.

From the perspective of the Japanese army, the Chinese army has been fully pressed, a wave of scattered lines, storming the position, the Japanese non-commissioned officers and junior officers organized soldiers to take their positions, as the Chinese army gradually approached, the atmosphere in the Japanese position became more and more tense.

"Rush! Follow up the chariot in front. Zhang Wei ordered the soldiers of the whole battalion to spread out in turn, quickly engage the enemy, and at the same time aimed at the formation of friendly troops on both wings, compared with the preparatory battalion, the formation of the friendly troops on both wings was a little chaotic, after all, the 46th Division had many recruits and suffered a lot of casualties in the previous battle, and the offensive organization was naturally a little worse.

The three chariots in front slowly drove forward, and after charging for a while, the Japanese position gradually became clear, and the chariots and infantry all involuntarily increased their speed.

The Japanese troops had not yet opened fire, and when the Japanese troops on the position saw that there were combat vehicles, many Japanese soldiers vaguely felt that the situation was not good, although they were in the front line, but only basic infantry firearms, infantry guns, and rapid-fire guns were all deployed in the rear positions, and fire support such as mountain artillery was even far away.

The commander of the Japanese army in the position was a captain, and he commanded the strength of two infantry squadrons plus a heavy machine gun squadron, and when he saw the Chinese army's chariots, it was too late to apply for rapid-fire artillery to move forward, so he could only hope for supporting firepower, and he immediately contacted the infantry artillery of the brigade in the rear and the mountain artillery of the wing to shell the attacking Chinese troops, and the distance between the two sides was only more than 100 meters.

The Japanese infantry artillery and the mountain artillery of the wing hurriedly opened fire, and due to the closer distance between the two sides, these guns only fired a few rounds, and the shelling at this time was more of a remedy.

"Boom, boom" Japanese infantry shells and mountain shells fired at a low trajectory, and the shells flew and hit the attacking troops.

The shells exploded on the ground, knocking down many soldiers, but it did not stop the attacking troops, almost after the Japanese shells exploded on the ground, the Japanese troops on the position began to fire, and the light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers formed a rain of bullets, killing and wounding the attacking soldiers.

After the reserve battalion suffered a few casualties, the formation of the attack spread out further, scattering to avoid the bombs, and the friendly forces on both flanks were moving forward, although there was a little confusion.

Everyone continued to rush forward with the chariot as the guide, and as soon as the Japanese opened fire, the three chariots of the vanguard naturally could not be idle.

In the tank, the platoon commander of the tank platoon ordered the three tanks in the platoon to cover the infantry attack through the walkie-talkie, and appropriately reduce the speed of the vehicle to prevent disconnection from the infantry, and the 45mm tank gun and DT tank machine gun on the T26 tank fired fiercely at the Japanese position.

On the Japanese position, all kinds of firearms are still firing, rifle machine gun shells and grenadiers killed and injured a lot of attacking Chinese infantry, after the three T26 tanks fired, even if the Japanese troops on the position were prepared to resist the tanks, but for the tank shells and machine gun shells that smashed over, it was still quite difficult, the tank guns just fired three shots, smashed a light machine gun group, some shells fell into the Japanese trenches, the shrapnel produced by the explosion killed and wounded many Japanese infantry, and the machine guns on the tanks kept firing. The machine gun bullets were aimed at the Japanese positions as flat as possible, and when the bullets hit the Japanese positions, the Soviet-style machine gun bullets kicked up a burst of dust, and many Japanese soldiers were beaten and could not raise their heads to shoot, and the rhythm of shooting was disrupted.

Zhang Wei saw that the three tanks in front of him were firing and slowing down, knowing that this was to protect the infantry, the Japanese bullets and grenades were still spraying, and the infantry must continue to accelerate the attack with all their strength and cooperate with the chariots.

The distance from the Japanese position is less than 100 meters, the chariots have already fired, the infantry has to follow, there are chariots in front of the preparation battalion, the troops are still charging against the rain of bullets, the friendly forces on both flanks lack the chariot cover, and there is not enough accompanying suppressive firepower at hand, its formation has been disconnected from the preparatory battalion to a certain extent, the Japanese firepower came, they had to slow down, while firing back, while advancing, faintly at the back of the two wings of the preparatory battalion, Zhang Wei did not want to be disjointed, When attacking in, it is very easy to leave a chance for the Japanese to counterattack.

Of course, the Japanese were not stupid, the middle reserve battalion was covered by tanks in front, and a lot of firepower was transferred to the troops of the 46th Division on both flanks, and some of the light and heavy machine guns were turned over and fired fiercely at the troops of the 46th Division on both flanks, and the two battalions of the 46th Division suffered heavy casualties.

"Grenadier, let the grenadier hit the Japanese positions and reinforce the friendly forces on both flanks." Zhang Wei followed the path opened up by the chariot and leaned next to Qiu Wei, who was organizing a series of attacks.

"Battalion commander, the friendly forces on both flanks are not in good shape."

Zhang Wei patted Qiu Wei: "So let your company's grenadiers hit the Japanese army, try to hit in the direction of the two flanks, reduce the pressure on the friendly troops, if the overall formation is out of joint, it will be bad." ”

"Grenadier group, hit the wings, reinforce friendly forces!"

The company's six grenadier groups paused their advance and stopped behind the three chariots to avoid the Japanese direct projectiles and prepare to fire, while the surrounding assault infantry quickly advanced to provide cover for the grenadier groups.

Six 89-type grenadiers threw grenades at the Japanese positions on both flanks, the two sides were not far away, the Japanese positions were completely within the firing range of the grenadiers, the grenades were thrown along the trajectory of the two wings, and exploded into the positions of the Japanese troops on both flanks, the purpose of the grenadiers was to try their best to suppress and provide cover for the friendly forces on both flanks, and the aiming work did not need to be too detailed, and the ammunition was loaded and fired after adjusting to the approximate position, and in just a few minutes, 20 grenades hit the Japanese positions.

The Japanese troops on both flanks hit the 46th Division, a burst of grenades smashed down, the Japanese army was a little caught off guard, a small number of unlucky Japanese soldiers were killed and injured by grenades, more reduced the frequency of shooting, the purpose of grenade cover was achieved, and the explosive fire made the Japanese attack on the 46th Division on both flanks greatly reduced.

The officers of the 46th Division knew Zhang Wei's intentions, and the Japanese firepower on both flanks weakened, and the officers immediately commanded the delayed troops to rush forward, follow up the preparatory battalion, and advance in unison.

The rain of bullets from the Japanese continued, and after a small setback, the Nationalist attack force that had suppressed the Japanese army withstood the rain of bullets and rushed quickly.

There were constantly Japanese bullets to knock down the charging soldiers, but due to the suppression of the chariots and grenadiers, the current firepower of the Japanese army could not completely organize the attack of the national army.

The Japanese captain in command was anxious and angry, and the Chinese troops in front were about to rush into the position, and there was no better way to come up with this situation now, especially the tanks of the Chinese army, which had done too much damage to the Japanese positions.

Boom - After a violent explosion, a semi-hidden improvised bunker not far from the captain was hit by a tank shell, which shattered the bones, and the personnel and heavy machine guns in the bunker were all reduced to minced meat and scrap metal.
