The soldiers of the reinforced company and the third battalion continued to crouch in the trenches and do their duty. The sparse jamming artillery fire of the Japanese continued, quite simply, the Japanese wanted them to be at peace for a moment.

Zhang Wei looked through the binoculars and clearly saw those hideous faces not far away, they were hiding in bunkers, ready to attack at any time, at a distance of more than 2,000 meters, the Chinese army's 82-mm mortars could not hit, and the mountain artillery was even more reluctant to use, so it can be said that he recognized the weakness and weakness of the Chinese army.

Zhang Wei looked at the other side and did nothing, and his heart was also bottomless for a while. Boom, the Japanese artillery bombardment intensified violently, and it seemed that the infantry was about to charge. Zhang Wei and the soldiers were ready for battle as usual, and the grenadier in Dong Erli's hand was also ready to be fired at any time. However, this time the movement seemed to be a little wrong, the Japanese attack troops were very scattered, the distance was very large, and the speed of movement was extremely slow, as if they were waiting for something.

The artillery was fierce but the infantry charge was extremely slow, and the Japanese movement surprised everyone. At this time, even some recruits from the third battalion of the main position were able to stabilize and calmly observe the Japanese army.

Iron King Eight! Suddenly, someone shouted, sure enough, four or five tanks rushed over, and the Japanese infantry, which had been slow, also quickened their pace, followed the tanks to the left and right, and advanced under the cover of the tanks. First of all, the main position of the third battalion was chaotic, and the recruits who were replenished after the third battalion was disabled had never seen this posture, and many people couldn't help but shoot and be courageous, as for where the bullets hit, I don't know.

Zhang Wei said while stabilizing the troops: "Don't panic, according to the original rules, you can fight when and at what distance." On the other hand, Zhang Wei called the leader of the communications squad and asked him to send half of the people to report to the regiment headquarters, and the other half to the main position to find the third battalion commander.

Zhang Wei looked at those tanks, they are Type 89 medium combat vehicles, and they are also thin-skinned goods, which are behemoths for the Chinese army, the front armor of this cargo is only 15 mm, and if the PAK37 combat defense gun of the teaching corps is hit with armor-piercing shells, one can be knocked out in two or three rounds, and what is needed now is time to drag them and wait for the battle defense artillery to come.

Zhang Wei had to relax the firing distance this time, in the past, the infantry entered 100 meters to shoot, but this time it can only be 200 meters. The 89-mm tank guns of the 57 tanks began to fire, and small shells began to explode on the positions of the Chinese defenders, which were not very powerful but the psychological deterrence was great, and the recruits on the main positions of the three battalions were obviously panicked.

The tank and infantry finally entered a distance of 200 meters, the western highlands were high, Zhang Wei picked up twenty shots into the sky and fired! The firearms of the Western Highlands began to fire, and the bullets fired could only be a matter of luck, and after a round there were not many hits, only two unlucky eggs were hit by the stray bullets, and the rifle bullets of seventy-nine caliber clanged on the chariot.

"Grandma, if there is a steel core bullet at this time, it will not be like this" Zhang Wei thought that it is true that a steel core bullet of 79 caliber can cause damage to the tank armor of the Japanese army, but now it is not nothing.

Dong Erli's grenadier played a role, the maximum range of the ten-year grenadier is 600 meters, and the distance of 200 meters is a piece of cake. One by one, the grenades were thrown into the ranks of the Japanese attack, knocking down seven or eight Japanese troops, and the scattered shrapnel hit the tanks, and then they were bounced back, causing secondary damage to the Japanese infantry, and finally delayed the pace of the attack, and the 57 mm guns and the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese infantry began to try to capture the firing points on the western highlands, and these two attacks brought them great losses in the western highlands.

The casualties of the reinforced company began to increase, and Dong Erli's mortar squad was the first to be attacked, and two soldiers were hit by bullets fired from the 92 heavy machine gun and lay on the ground weakly. Dong Erli could only speed up the transfer of positions.

The main position of the third battalion also couldn't bear to start firing, although the momentum was fierce but the effect was little, a round of firing continued, the Japanese troops in front of them fell only three or four, and the rest were still advancing under the cover of the chariots, Zhang Wei saw that the reinforcements from the communication squad and the regimental headquarters had not yet come, and he was also a little anxious. He called in the search squad and ordered the search squad to go down and pick up the communications squad and reinforcements at the rear of the heights, and on the other side, he ordered all the soldiers, except for the light machine gunners and the mortar squad. All the grenades were thrown in large quantities, obstructing the advance of the Japanese and the view of the tanks, and now only this method could be relied on to delay time.

The speed of the advance of the Japanese infantry and tanks was immediately slowed down, and some timid infantry began to shrink behind the tanks, wanting to rely solely on the protection of the tanks, and the grenadier and machine gun firepower used as cover were also suddenly greatly reduced.

The tank gun seemed to be provoked by the grenade sea tactics of the Chinese army, and the smoke from the explosion made it lose its accuracy, and several tank gunners simply did not do anything to aim, and fired indiscriminately at the main position and the western highlands, so even if a large number of grenades were thrown, the casualties of the national army still did not decrease, and the 57 tank shells were very bad for tanks, and they would be fatal if they hit the infantry, and the soldiers on the main position of the three battalions under the mountain in the distance were constantly knocked down, and a Type 24 heavy machine gun group was directly hit, and the flesh and blood of the bombing were flying on the spotThe blasted minced meat stuck to the boiling cooling cylinder of the heavy machine gun, emitting a disgusting burnt smell, and some of the recruits of the 3rd Battalion had already begun to vomit when they saw this.

Grenades can hinder, but can't stop, after the Japanese army entered the distance of 150 meters, Zhang Wei ordered to switch to infantry, and the gunfire began to rage again, Zhang Wei wanted to hinder the Japanese attack by destroying their infantry coordination.

Dong Erli's grenadier began to shoot at the Japanese infantry, especially in the machine gun group near the tank, the grenadier group near the tank, now Dong Erli, the grenadier is very familiar with the operation of the grenadier, the 91 grenade fired by the grenadier exploded in the Japanese army, the special 89 grenade has been exhausted, three or four 91 grenades were shot out, killing a bold Japanese light machine gun group, the flying shrapnel was rebounded by the tank, and even wounded several Japanese infantry, several of whom lost their combat effectiveness, The soldiers next to them had to carry them away. The wounded did not kill, but effectively reduced the living combat strength of the Japanese army on the battlefield.

The 82 mortars and 75 infantry guns attached to the third battalion also began to fire, and even if the Japanese had cover at this time, the casualties began to increase sharply and began to advance against the rain of bullets.

After a violent explosion, accompanied by the sound of steel rubbing, a tank broke down, it turned out to be a 75 infantry gun attached to the third battalion, which accidentally hit the ground near the tank track, because it was too close, the shock wave of the explosion and a large amount of shrapnel broke the track, and the track was broken in two.

Well, the fight was beautiful, and cheers rang out at the same time on the main position of the third battalion and Zhang Wei's western heights. The guns in his hands greeted him even more fiercely. The Japanese were also taken aback, and several tanks even began to move sideways to get away. It is estimated that the infantry artillery is regarded as a battle defense artillery. Zhang Wei smiled secretly, picked up the middle formal, pulled the trigger, and gave the Japanese army under the mountain a 79 rifle cartridge.

The caution of the Japanese undoubtedly bought time for the Chinese army, Zhang Wei saw a large number of reinforcements behind the main position of the third battalion, and they brought the 37th battle anti-aircraft artillery of the regimental battle defense artillery company!

Two battle defense guns soon reached the main position of the 3rd battalion and began to prepare for firing. The gunners adjusted the handwheels to control the horizontal position, and the second gunners adjusted the high and low machines to control the pitch angle. The slender barrel was aimed at the paralyzed vehicle, and a tungsten core armor-piercing shell was loaded into the chamber, which the gunner calibrated again to be sure. The three gunners pulled the firing rope, and the shells swirled out along the 16 rifling, and another anti-aircraft gun also opened fire behind it, firing at the immobile iron tortoise. The difficulty of shooting at a fixed target was not very great, coupled with the gunner's foolproof calibration, two shells accurately hit the paralyzed tank, and with a loud bang, this Iron King VIII was completely scrapped.

The other tanks found that the situation was wrong, the Chinese army used the battle defense artillery, immediately accelerated forward, the infantry and tank guns next to them also intensified their firepower and fired fiercely, the battle defense artillery group was attacked, a flying rifle bullet knocked down a loader who was not hiding behind the defense shield, the war defense artillery quickly dragged the gun away, and fired in a different position.

The officers and men of the Western Highlands witnessed the destruction of the tank, and everyone cheered. At this time, the communication squad and search squad leader sent by Zhang Wei earlier returned.

"Company commander, the regimental headquarters has also strengthened our position with a battle defense gun, and now they are helping to lift it to the high ground in the back mountain," said the panting communications squad leader.

"Okay, you two go down with me to help, Zhang Wei called He Kun not far away at the same time, and took a squad from He Kun's platoon to help carry the cannon.

Descending to the back mountain, Zhang Wei saw a platoon commander of a battle defense gun carrying up the cannon with a soldier pushing and carrying it, this kind of Rhine battle defense gun is not heavy, even if it is this kind of mountain, a squad of people is enough. Zhang Wei's search squad soldiers helped carry artillery shells and rangefinders.

Zhang Wei took a group of people and immediately went over to help, and the battle defense gun of more than one meter was quickly pushed to the high ground. Zhang Wei didn't want to directly look for death on the high ground, in order to conceal it, he planned to place the battle defense gun on the right flank of the mountain.
