Chapter 157: Engaging Tanks

As the tanks entered the town, the excited armored soldiers were completely stunned, and they looked at the mound in front of them through the observation window, their brows furrowed.

Sun Weiguo asked the people and soldiers to pile all the excavated soil at both ends of the trench, so that there were mounds of soil in front of the trench.

If the Japanese wanted to cross these mounds, they would definitely go straight into the anti-tank trenches.

If they wanted to come down and bulldoze the mounds and fill in the anti-tank trenches, two platoons of six light machine guns and six grenadiers would have been ready to shoot.

The twelve tanks did not move, they had vaguely realized that something was wrong with the situation, looking at the roads in the town were full of such mounds of dirt, the armored soldiers in the tanks did not know what to do for a while, they could only wait for the arrival of the troops behind.

Not to be outdone, twenty-four armored vehicles rushed into the town, and when they saw that the tanks in front of them had stopped advancing, the devil soldiers in the armored vehicles were full of doubts.

When they saw these mounds as well, the devil soldiers couldn't help but be full of frustration, they didn't have the courage to cross such mounds.

The captain of the Japanese army was in a Type 92 armored car, and when he saw this, his face became solemn.

He knew that this was a standard anti-tank trench, but he never dreamed that there were still people in the troops of Tubalu who knew how to dig anti-tank trenches.

What made the captain of the Japanese Shaozo Brigade even more incomprehensible was that digging these trenches could not be dug in a moment.

However, these anti-tank trenches in front of him were obviously newly excavated, and he really couldn't figure out who dug the anti-tank trenches.

Anyway, he would not believe that the Independent Regiment had extra forces to dig trenches in addition to the troops stationed in the positions, and that digging such trenches could not be done without a few hundred people.

"Captain, what should we do now, there is no way for our tanks and armored vehicles to pass through such a trench."

A Japanese second lieutenant was also in the armored car, and he couldn't help but look at Captain Shaozo with a worried expression on his face.

Takano Shuichi asked them to quickly detour back to the back of the position, and cooperated with the Japanese puppet army attacking head-on to flank the independent regiment troops holding the position.

But now that they were stopped by these anti-tank trenches, there was no way for them to make a detour behind their positions.

"Immediately order the infantry to fill these trenches, and put the cavalry on guard." Captain Shaozo immediately gave the order.

The last two Japanese infantry squadrons finally came to the town, and after receiving the order of the commander of the brigade, the Japanese infantry quickly took out the sapper shovels and started the operation.

More than 300 devil soldiers were busy trying to fill the anti-tank trenches as soon as possible, while more than 100 were on the alert.

Twelve tanks of the tank squadron were also not idle, and these tanks began to try to crash into houses, opening a road from here to get out.

The actions of the Japanese army were all under the surveillance of Sun Weiguo, Sun Weiguo held a telescope to watch the actions of the Japanese army, and his face showed a calm expression.

Seeing more than 300 devil soldiers shoveling dirt here in the mound, he immediately gave the order to shoot.

Six light machine guns and six grenadiers began to fire, and miniature grenades began to explode among the Japanese infantry, and more than a dozen devil soldiers wailed in pain.

The fire network organized by six light machine guns caused more than 20 devil soldiers to fall to the ground.

The tanks began to cease action, the turrets began to turn, and they quickly pressed down on the exposed light machine guns and grenadiers.

Anti-personnel grenades were fired by tank guns, but these shells did not cause any casualties to the fighters, who had already taken cover.

With a "boom", a house was blown down by a tank, and the tank began to drive over the ruins of the house.

But then with a "boom", this time it was not a tank shelling a house, but a tank falling into a trap.

At this time, the houses were very simple to make, not to mention blocking the tanks, and any shell would blow up the houses.

How could Sun Weiguo not think that the Japanese army could blow up people's houses and open a road through these houses.

He had already asked some of the people to dig traps in the courtyard, these traps were three meters deep, and it was completely impossible for the Japanese tanks to fall and come up.

Unless there is a crane, of course, a slope can be excavated from the side, but the Japanese army cannot do it whether it is a crane or an excavation slope.

The captain of the Japanese army in the armored car saw a tank fall into the trap, his face turned pale, and he began to order the Japanese troops to concentrate their firepower and shoot.

At this time, he had realized that there were still troops in Chengguan Town, and he vaguely felt that the other party had already known about his actions, and was ready to deal with it in advance.

Japanese tank guns began to fire indiscriminately at the surrounding houses, and the light and heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles fired wildly.

The Japanese infantry took advantage of the opportunity to quickly shovel the soil in a vain attempt to quickly fill the anti-tank trenches.

Sun Weiguo held a telescope to observe the situation of the Japanese army, and when he saw the shooting of the Japanese dog jumping over the wall, the corner of Sun Weiguo's mouth showed a disdainful sneer.

"Keep shooting, and when you're done, you'll leave." Sun Weiguo gave the order again.

Light machine guns and grenadiers began firing again, and after more than 20 casualties of the Japanese infantry, the machine gun shooters and grenadiers quickly moved their positions.

The fighters of the third and sixth platoons were armed with Molotov cocktails and cluster grenades, and they waited for Sun Weiguo's order to blow up the tank.

But Sun Weiguo did not anxiously give the order to blow up the tank, after all, it was very dangerous to do so, and it would be the best situation if he could use anti-tank trenches to drag the Japanese army.

By this time, the Japanese infantry had already paid the casualties of a squad, and although the Japanese infantry were still shoveling earth to fill in the anti-tank trenches, they were very nervous, fearing that they would be attacked again by light machine guns and grenadiers.

The Japanese captain in the armored car had his eyes rolling, and his brain was running fast, trying to find a suitable way to deal with it.

"To concentrate the infantry on filling an anti-tank trench, just open a road. Tanks and armoured vehicles took cover, and the cavalry searched around to see if there were any other roads, and to see if there were traps on the other roads they had come. Captain Shaozo quickly gave the order.

As he gave the order, the Japanese troops began to move, and the infantry began to gather together to shovel the earth, trying to fill in a trench first to allow tanks and armored vehicles to pass safely, while the cavalry searched everywhere for other roads.
