Chapter 511: Armored Battalion Attack

Four mountain guns began to fire armor-piercing shells, which were destructive to the tank.

However, because of the smoke grenades fired from the grenadiers, the Japanese artillerymen could only shoot at the place where they had observed the tanks before, but Yin Jinshan would not be stupid enough to let the tanks stay in place and be shelled by the Japanese army.

The five tanks had quickly shifted their positions, and the explosion of the armor-piercing shells did not do any damage to the five tanks.

Under the command of Yin Jinshan, five tanks slowly rushed out of the smoke area, the tank turret turned, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at the village.

THREE 82MM MORTARS CONTINUED TO FIRE SUPPRESSIVELY INTO THE VILLAGE, AND AS THE FOUR JAPANESE MOUNTAIN GUNS BEGAN TO FIRE, THEIR POSITION WAS ONCE AGAIN REVEALED.

Six Type 92 infantry guns also began to join the battle sequence of suppressing the fire, and one after another anti-personnel grenades were fired towards the village of Qianhuang'an Village as if they did not need money.

The Japanese artillery paid more than a dozen casualties, and one mountain gun was also destroyed by a grenade hit, and the Japanese artillery immediately began to transfer the remaining three mountain guns.

However, the three 82MM mortars and six Type 92 infantry guns on the Chinese artillery positions were still firing shells continuously to suppress the Japanese artillery.

The Japanese mountain artillery began to stop firing, and the devil soldiers panicked and moved the remaining three mountain guns.

Seeing that the tank was about to appear on the position outside the village, the face of the Japanese commander became gloomy, he ordered the troops to prepare for shooting, and at the same time he gave the infantry artillery squadron an order to prepare for battle, and the two light infantry guns quickly began to be pushed to the right side of the position and entered the houses that had been reinforced in advance.

THE CALIBER OF THE 92-TYPE INFANTRY GUN IS 70MM, THIS KIND OF INFANTRY GUN BELONGS TO THE SUPPORT FIREPOWER OF THE BRIGADE AND THE WING LEVEL, THE 92-TYPE INFANTRY GUN IS VERY LOW, AND IT IS NOT EVEN AS HIGH AS SOME HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, WHICH CAN BE USED VERY WELL IN CONCEALMENT, AND THE 92-TYPE INFANTRY GUN IS VERY LIGHT, IT IS VERY CONVENIENT TO TRANSFER, THIS KIND OF SUPPORT FIREPOWER IS CALLED THE GHOST ARTILLERY BY THE TROOPS OF THE EIGHTH ROUTE ARMY.

After the Japanese troops captured the former Huang'an Village, they began to build a large number of fortifications in the former Huang'an Village, among which some houses were reinforced in the four villages in the southeast, northwest, and northwest to be used as bunkers for Type 92 infantry guns.

This lightweight artillery is always mobile, and the Japanese Captain Shaozo takes advantage of this.

Two infantry guns quickly entered the bunker, and the artillerymen quickly began to get busy.

With a "boom", an anti-personnel grenade was fired, and the grenade fell directly into the infantry behind the tank.

As the anti-personnel grenade exploded, more than a dozen fighters began to fall to the ground, several wounded fighters cried out in pain, and the rest of the officers and soldiers quickly hid and treated the wounded fighters.

"Don't stop firing, quickly capture the Japanese positions." Yin Jinshan immediately gave the order.

Now the five tanks were less than 100 meters away from the Japanese position, and a Type 95 tank saw the Japanese artillery firing, and the commander inside obviously wanted to stop, while Yin Jinshan immediately gave the order.

At this time, if the tank stopped shooting, it was easy to be attacked by Japanese shells, and at present, the armored battalion only had five tanks and five armored vehicles, Yin Jinshan knew very well that these armored weapons were difficult to replenish, so he cherished these tanks and armored vehicles.

Yoon Jinshan's orders began to be given, and the five tanks continued to advance in battle formation.

The Japanese light and heavy machine gun fire began to shoot, of course, the little devils also knew that bullets were difficult to pose a threat to the tank, and they concentrated their fire on the infantry behind the tank.

WITH A "BOOM", AN 82MM MORTAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SHELL THE HIDDEN BUNKER OF A JAPANESE INFANTRY GUN, AND THE GRENADE FELL ON THE BUNKER, BUT IT DID NOT POSE ANY THREAT TO THE INFANTRY ARTILLERY.

"Boom", immediately after, a Type 92 infantry gun also began to fire shells, but because the distance was too far, the infantry guns were fired at a curved angle, and this shell still did not threaten the infantry guns in the bunker.

When the captain of the village saw this scene, he showed a somewhat proud expression on his face, and he felt that with the infantry guns and mortars equipped by the Chinese troops, it was impossible to destroy the bunker at all.

"Prepare the explosives pack, and when the tanks come to the position, blow up all the tanks in China." Captain Shaozo immediately shouted.

Although tanks are the darlings of war, tanks are still in great danger if they lose the cover of infantry.

The relationship between infantry and tanks is complementary and indispensable, they need to cover each other's operations, especially for the armored units of the new 2nd Brigade, they lack more tanks to form a strong breakthrough capability, and there is no related mechanized infantry to quickly follow up, the blitzkrieg of the Germans is obviously not suitable for the armored battalion of the new 2nd Brigade.

"Shoot!" ON THE ARTILLERY POSITION, WHEN THE 82MM MORTARS AND THE 92 INFANTRY GUNS COULD NOT POSE A THREAT TO THE JAPANESE BUNKERS, MA XUEPENG'S ANTI-TANK GUN PLATOON BEGAN TO GO OUT.

Ma Xuepeng personally adjusted the firing angle of the anti-tank gun, and as he gave the order to fire, an armor-piercing shell was quickly shot out.

The armor-piercing shell quickly hit the bunker where the Japanese infantry gun was located, and the armor-piercing shell hit the Japanese bunker hard, the cement bunker was easily shattered, and the armor-piercing shell hit the infantry cannon directly, and the infantry cannon was like cut steel, which instantly turned into scrap metal, and eight Japanese artillerymen also died on the spot in the bunker.

The bunker was breached, the walls began to crumble, and the destroyed infantry guns, along with the fallen devil soldiers, were all buried under the bricks.

When the Japanese Shaozo saw this scene, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he immediately realized that the Chinese troops were equipped with anti-tank guns!

"The heavy machine gun immediately stops firing and moves immediately!" The Japanese soldier Shaozo immediately shouted loudly.

But his words were clearly a step too late, and the other two anti-tank guns were already firing.

Two armor-piercing bullets struck the bunkers of the two Type 92 heavy machine guns as if they had eyes, and the two heavy machine guns were directly destroyed.

"All of them!" THE SIX MACHINE GUNS ALSO BEGAN TO FIRE ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS, AND THE 20MM ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS WERE VERY SHARP, AND ONE BY ONE THE SHELLS ACCURATELY FIRED AT THE LIGHT MACHINE GUNS EXPOSED BY THE JAPANESE ARMY.

A Japanese shooter was hit by an armor-piercing bullet, his body was torn apart, and his whole body became a mess of minced meat.

"Da Da Da!" Five heavy machine guns also began to strafe the Japanese positions, suppressing the fire of the Japanese infantry.

While heavy machine guns and artillery of various calibers provided cover, the tanks were already less than 50 meters away from the Japanese positions outside the village, and more than 200 fighters immediately followed.

The infantry of the New Second Brigade were all trained, they knew how to cooperate with the tanks, and the casualties of the third battalion and the ninth company were not small, but more than 80 officers and men still acted behind the tanks under the command of the company commander.
