Tada Jun gave the order, Tsuchihashi gave the order once, Ide Tetsuzo kept pleading, and Lieutenant General Kinoshita Toshita, commander of the Japanese Third Flying Group, dispatched all the planes he could to bomb and bomb Igou and Shibagou indiscriminately, covering Tanaka Nobuo Osa and the first brigade of the Japanese 212th Wing that attacked the line of Igou to converge with Tian Toshie Shaosa, and support the 212th Wing Wing Captain Keitoshi Shiro Osa's crazy attack on Shibagou.

Under the cover of the aircraft, the remnants of Nobuo Tanaka finally joined up with Tian Minjiang Shaozuo of the 1st Brigade of the 212th Wing of the Japanese Army, who attacked the front line of Jinggou, and Wang Linmao, the commander of the 1st Brigade and 1st Regiment of the Puppet Ludong and Pingjian.

Seeing that the elite 211 Wing had become like this, Tian Minjiang Shaozuo, the captain of the arrogant First Brigade of the 212th Wing, was swayed by a strong revenge anger in his heart, and together with Tanaka Nobuo Dazuo, he drove all the puppet troops under the command of the two divisions to the battlefield and attacked frantically, and finally forced the Eighth Route Army in Jinggou to abandon its position and retreat to the Chaigou defense line. In this way, the two Japanese puppet armies completely merged, forming a pinching attack on the core defensive position of the Eighth Route Army on the first line of Chaigou.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the forward of the 1st Tank Division of the Japanese Army rushed to the line of Chaigou and Jinggou along the road from Gaomi to Zhucheng.

At this time, the first-line battlefield of Chaigou was in a state of stalemate, and the Japanese puppet army attacked from the morning to the present, with aircraft bombing, artillery bombing, and poison gas bombing, and all the tricks were exhausted.

It's no wonder that the little devil can't take the Chaigou core defense line of the Eighth Route Army, this is because the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army are different from the positions constructed by the Japanese army and **, which are the big plum blossom formations composed of triangular formations, and there are traffic trenches connected between several defense lines, and there are anti-artillery holes in the trenches and communication trenches, which can avoid the bombing of aircraft bombs and artillery shells. As long as the Japanese puppet army breaks into the formation, it will be covered by a cross-fire net, and it will not be able to escape.

As soon as the 1st Division of Japanese Tanks arrived, the little devils were immediately excited, and the soldiers even cheered loudly.

Soon, the main force of the 1st Tank Division of the Japanese Army arrived on the battlefield, and the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto, took over the command of the battlefield.

Although he knew that it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade to fly to the Chaigou battlefield at this time to participate in the battle, he still ordered the air defense team of the First Tank Division to establish anti-aircraft gun and antiaircraft machine gun positions to prevent air raids by the Eighth Route Army. The artillery of the wing was all concentrated by Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto, and an artillery position was established, and the muzzles of the guns were all raised high, pointing at the position of the Eighth Route Army on the front line of Chaigou.

With such a large chariot group playing, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto had to be cautious.

Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto called the commander of the 212th Wing, Shiro Keito, to him and scolded him, scolding him for being a woman and not daring to set fire to sorghum, which affected the shooting range and covered the Eighth Route Army.

After scolding, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto ordered the engineer team of the 1st Tank Division and the engineers under the command of the 212th Wing to set fire to burn all the sorghum in the sorghum fields in front of the chaigou, so as to make room for the attack of the 1st Tank Division.

What a Hoshino Limoto, I don't know when I'm dying, and I'm still doing evil!

Thick clouds of smoke rose and filled the air over the chaigou, and everywhere there was the sound of the barely ripe sorghum ears burning as they burned. Occasionally, there was the sound of the bombardment of mines planted by the Eighth Route Army that had been detonated by the burning fire.

Listening to the sound of the mine exploding, Hoshino Toshimoto and Keito Shiro all laughed, and only Nobuo Tanaka, who was almost completely wiped out, looked at all this in front of him with a sad face.

It was tossed until five o'clock in the afternoon, when the fire in the sorghum field in front of Chaigou was extinguished, and the Japanese sappers also extinguished the embers.

Watching the planes sweep over the positions of the Eighth Route Army on the front line of Chaigou, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto said to Keito Shiro Osa, Tanaka Nobuo Osa, and others: "To deal with the Eighth Route Army, don't be stingy with ammunition. Aren't they well positioned? We will blow up the landmark with bombs and shells, and even the strongest fortifications will collapse, burying the dirt in it and becoming a mole! ”

Keito Shiro Osaren said that His Excellency Lieutenant General is wise!

After the plane completed a wave of bombing, Lieutenant General Toshimoto Hoshino immediately gave the order for artillery bombardment.

The howitzers and field artillery on the Japanese artillery positions all roared, and the shells fired towards the positions of the Eighth Route Army, and there was a gorgeous 10-minute artillery salvo!

Lieutenant General Toshimoto Hoshino could clearly see through the telescope that the trenches and firing points of the Eighth Route Army had been blown to pieces by aerial bombs and shells, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army could also be seen bending over along the communication trenches and retreating in a hurry under artillery fire.

Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto couldn't wait, and before the artillery salvo was over, he gave the order to make an all-out assault on the line of Shibagou. He was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would run away.

The Japanese army began to assault, and more than 400 chariots of the three tank wings formed arrows one after another in squadrons, roaring, along the main road, through the burned sorghum fields, and rushed towards the defense line of the core position of the Eighth Route Army in Chaigou.

Behind the group of chariots were armored vehicles and automobiles of the 1st Mobile Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, more than 1,000 of which followed behind the chariots and ran forward. The 1st Mobile Artillery Wing, which had just stopped shelling, was also pulling howitzers and field artillery in automobiles, and was ready to provide artillery support to the tank attack group at any time as the large force moved forward. The infantry, remnants of the 211th Wing, and remnants of the puppet army of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army all threw themselves into the attack, followed by combat vehicles, armored vehicles, and automobiles, and launched a charge.

In front of the core position of the Eighth Route Army in Chaigou, an overwhelming yellow tide was set off.

The trenches and communication trenches, under the tracks of the Japanese army's large-scale tank fleet, have become fragile, until the last anti-tank trench in the core position of Chaigou, the little devil is dumbfounded!

This is an anti-tank trench with a width of 6 meters at the mouth, a width of 4 meters at the bottom, and a depth of 9 meters. Unlike ordinary anti-tank trenches, the excavated soil is not piled on both sides, but all the accumulated soil is piled on the side of the chai ditch, and a soft soil embankment more than two meters high is built.

The Japanese tanks that rushed to the front couldn't see clearly, and thought it was an ordinary trench from a distance, so they rushed up with more horsepower, and fell into the trench with a plop.

As a result, the wild horse-like Japanese tank group had to stop, and the Japanese motorized infantry and infantry behind rushed up to observe the situation.

After seeing the situation, they felt that the forklifts modified with tanks were too slow to shovel and fill the ditch, and there were few forklifts to meet the needs, so they decided to use tanks to build rutted bridges while shoveling and filling the ditches.

The so-called rutted bridge is actually two steel plates equipped with wheels, and the lifting and traction equipment on the bridge tank is used to erect them on the trench according to the spacing of the tank tracks, so that the tank can pass through the trench along these two steel plates.

War is the most concentrated testing ground for various technologies. Since the First World War gave birth to tanks, it also gave birth to anti-tank trenches. In fact, anti-tank trenches are obstacles to the enemy's tank attack. Because of the emergence of anti-tank trenches, tank units studied how to cross them, which in turn gave rise to rutted bridges, tank units equipped with shoveling tanks and bulldozers.

The 1st Tank Division of the Japanese Army was the tank group of the Japanese Army, and all of this equipment was available.

The rutted bridges were erected, and there were many of them. The Japanese tanks drove up the rutted bridge and, under the eager gaze of many pairs of eyes, began to cross the anti-tank trench.

To the surprise of the Japanese tankers, this anti-tank trench was too strange, the other end of the trench was more than two meters high, and the rutted bridge was high at one end and low at the end, and the high end was on the soft soil embankment, and the tanks crossing the bridge swayed left and right, and accidentally turned into the trench.

Tanks that were lucky enough to pass through the rutted bridge were even worse because they crossed the earthen embankment, exposing the weakly armored bottom; When they crossed the earthen embankment and came down, they exposed the fragile tops and "raised their heads and showed their stomachs, bowed their heads and backs," giving the Eighth Route Army at least two excellent opportunities to aim and shoot, and became a "live target" for the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank artillery fire.

No, a medium-sized tank had just staggered across the rutted bridge, and with a bang, it was hit into a fireball by the bazooka of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese soldiers gasped.

How would the little devil know that the anti-tank trench dug by the Eighth Route Army was dug according to the Golan trench of the Israeli army during the Middle East War in 1974. At that time, the Syrian army, with three armored brigades equipped with 800 Soviet-made T-62 main battle tanks, led three infantry divisions, went straight to the Golan Heights to cover the kill, but was blocked in front of the anti-tank trenches built by the Israeli army, and the Israeli army destroyed 250 tanks and 260 armored vehicles. After the war, the anti-tank trench was named the Golan Trench, and the Arabs also called the area around the Golan Trench "Valley of Tears".

Gradually, the Japanese army's tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles were gathered, and the infantry was also gathered, all of whom were waiting for the tank group to break through the inexplicable anti-tank trench of the Eighth Route Army.

Lieutenant General Toshimoto Hoshino had never seen such a bizarre anti-tank trench, but he was confident of breaking through. Looking at the sky, I felt that there were at least two hours left before it got dark, and it was still too late. Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto ordered the aviation to fly to the battlefield again to cover the chariot assault and prevent the Eighth Route Army from playing tricks!
