On March 26, He Jianye received the news that Wang Qiang had received the enemy, and He Jianye knew that the 19th Group Army should have given up the water repair defense line.

"Order, Leng Qi with two infantry battalions and one air defense battalion to deploy at the Ganjiang Bridge to meet Wang Qiang's troops! Order Huang Wujun to pay attention to air defense, the devil's plane should be coming soon! He Jianye said,

"Boom ......" dozens of tanks opened up in formation to the west of the Wanshou Palace and came towards the position of the Wanshou Palace......

The Type 89 medium tank was the main tank used by the Japanese army in the early and middle stages of the war of aggression against China. A 57-mm gun has a certain armor-piercing ability, with a maximum range of up to 5700m, and is quite powerful against enemy fortifications and living forces. The auxiliary armament is two Type 91 6.5mm machine guns with 2,745 rounds of ammunition, which can be strafed for a long time to support the troops. The main disadvantage of the Type 89 tank is that it has weak defense, with only 17mm of frontal armor and 15mm of side and rear armor, which cannot withstand the blows of anti-tank guns. For a long time, the Japanese Type 89 tank was invincible on the Chinese battlefield; Because China lacks anti-tank weapons.

And the Type 94 light tank is a little worse, this tank is only more than 7 tons, with a crew of 2 people and is armed with a machine gun. The Type 94 light tank is only 3 meters long and 1.2 meters high, and is called the bean tank, that is, the pocket tank. The armor was also 6 to 12 mm thick, but it was enough to resist the fire of various small arms of the national army, and it was enough to deal with infantry.

In the devil's drill, the Type 89 medium tank is used as an assault force to attack the strong positions of the National Army, and the Type 94 light tank is used as an auxiliary to the former, mainly against the National Army's anti-tank infantry close to the tank. In the absence of the Type 89 medium tank, the Type 94 light tank was generally used to break through the positions of the national army without anti-tank weapons, or for reconnaissance, patrolling, etc.

But China's long-term lack of anti-tank weapons has made the devil's tank commander forget this drill, and the Type 94 light tank relied on its own speed and machine gun to rush to the front, clearing the obstacles for the Type 89 tank behind!

The tank assault carried out by the devils this time did not prepare armor-piercing shells at all, and the spare bombs on the combat vehicles were all high-explosive shells; However, the spare ammunition that comes with the car can only carry a maximum of 100 rounds!

The devil's armored troops rushed forward far away from the main force, and after replenishing the ammunition on the trucks; Although the Type 89 tank's 57mm tank guns had a long range, they couldn't shell at will, because they didn't have many shells......

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

The devil's vehicle-mounted machine gun was firing power, and it was already firing towards the position of Wanshou Palace at a distance of 1 kilometer;

"Don't panic, wait for the devil's tank to enter 400 meters, and fire the anti-aircraft machine guns, machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns together, and at least kill half of the devil's tanks for me in the first round;" Wang Qiang roared loudly,

In Wang Qiang's telescope, there are about forty tanks swarming from the devils, the devils' tanks exude a metallic luster in the sun, and the muzzles are ready to fire at any time towards their positions......

The air defense battalion is equipped with Surotong ST-5 20 mm machine guns, with a maximum firing height of nearly 5 kilometers and an effective firing height of about 2 kilometers, which mainly plays a role of about 1.5 kilometers in actual combat. The anti-air can penetrate a 30-mm steel plate within 500 meters. However, this thing is terrifying when fired horizontally, and it can basically penetrate a tank with armor less than 20mm like a devil within 800 meters;

"Poof, poof, poof"

The bullets from the machine guns kept shooting into the dirt on the edge of the trenches, and the splattered dirt and pebbles fell on the heads of the brothers, and everyone grinned one by one, and now they were in the Central Army from time to time, and there was no supply of German-style steel helmets; All of them are cloth cylinder hats!

"800 meters, don't panic!" Wang Qiang was lying on the trench holding a telescope and shouted,

"600 meters, ready!" Wang Qiang shouted,

"Click! Click! ”

The sound of machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns loading came crisply,

The "clanging, clicking" anti-aircraft guns have been replaced with armor-piercing shells and are waiting quietly......

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

The devil's tanks were getting closer and closer, the threat of machine guns was getting bigger and bigger, and many of the brothers on standby were hit by machine gun bullets, and screams kept coming; Wang Qiang bit his lip, but still didn't give the order! Here is still nearly thirty kilometers away from Nanchang, and they can't get artillery support from Nanchang at all! Everything is on your own, risking the casualties of the brothers to be a little bigger, and you have to kill the devil's tank!

"Fire!" Wang Qiang roared loudly,

The 20mm cannon fired, and the unique sound was so pleasant to hear in the ears of the soldiers;

"Knock Knock Knock ......." was followed by a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and the M2 anti-aircraft machine gun from the United States began its first performance on the Chinese battlefield;

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The firing of more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns was ignored by the brothers, and in their eyes, the rushing devil tank exploded in front of their eyes like fireworks,

The devil's Type 94 light tank can't even stop the close-range shooting of anti-aircraft machine guns, because the bullets of anti-aircraft machine guns are against aircraft, and their bullets are all steel-core armor-piercing bullets, which are not comparable to ordinary heavy machine guns! And the devil's Type 89 tank is still trying to rush forward, the bullet of the anti-aircraft machine gun can't penetrate his 17mm front armor, as for the 20mm machine gun, there is no need to pay attention to it, no matter what kind of tank it hits, it is a tank that will detonate the devil with one shot......

"Yaga!" The telescope in the hand of Takao Maeda, who was holding a telescope on the Type 89 tank in the back, had fallen off, but he didn't expect that the people in China had so many anti-tank weapons here, and the more than ten tanks in front of him had been blown up into scrap metal, and there was green smoke in the same place......

"Retreat!" Takao Maeda roared frantically,

Tanks of this era are only equipped with on-board radios on tanks by the Germans, and the devils are not so capable; Their communications are transmitted by the flag or whistle of the flag soldier, or simply by the spirit of the commander!

The commander of the remnants of the "retreat" poked his head out at the risk of being shot in the head, looked at the flag raised by the command vehicle behind him, and shouted frantically,

"Boom!" The devil's tank didn't dare to turn around at this distance, the engine was frantically outputting power, and the tank was emitting puffs of green smoke and retreating frantically towards the rear!

"Don't let the devil run back! Fire with all your might! Wang Qiang ordered,

The 20mm machine gun exerted its terrifying rate of fire, shooting wildly at the retreating Japanese tank, the ammunition hand next to him was soaked with sweat in a short period of time, and the short period of vigorous exercise made their hands sore, the power of the machine gun was great, and the rate of fire was also fast, but the speed of consuming ammunition was also very terrifying;

"Knock knock knock....... "As for the anti-aircraft machine guns, they are chain-fed ammunition, and if they can't beat the Type 89, they will pick the short Type 94 tank to attack;

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Now the targets of more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns have also been changed, and their targets are those Type 89 vehicles that are relatively slow;

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "There were now ten of the Type 89 vehicles that were reversing quickly, and they were reversing backwards while firing shells at the defenders' firing points, and the continuous shells fell on the defensive line, and the hit fire points did not have time to react, and the brethren fell into the trenches along with the machine guns......

The shrapnel of the "Dangdangdang" high-explosive shell hit the shield of the anti-aircraft gun, causing bursts of sparks, and the brothers operating the anti-aircraft artillery kept falling, and the brothers next to them immediately stepped forward to remove the bodies of the brothers, tinkered with the anti-aircraft artillery, and immediately accepted the fire when they found that it was still usable......

"Boom! Rumble! "The Devil's chariot paid a heavy price in the short distance of 500 to 800 meters, and the only chariots that escaped were two Type 89 tanks and five Type 94 tanks;

"Ceasefire! The air defense battalion immediately withdrew to the second-line positions to prevent the shelling of the devils! Wang Qiang watched the devil withdraw a thousand meters, and immediately ordered loudly,

At this distance, it's basically a waste of ammunition; Although they are not short of ammunition for the time being, they don't know when they can retreat, of course, it's better to save money!
