Stationed at the forefront of Dashiqiao was the 102nd Infantry Wing of the 127th Brigade of the Yue Army, which had been withdrawn from Haicheng last night.

The current Wing Commander, the commander of the 102nd Infantry Wing, immediately notified the 1st Infantry Brigade of the front after receiving instructions from Okamura Ninji.

The 1st Infantry Brigade, which had been waiting for a long time, quickly took out the secret weapon they had prepared in advance.

Soon, dozens of tanks of the Northeast New Army had entered the range of 500 meters one after another.

But there was still silence on the army's position, and no devils fired a shot.

Gao Chu, the commander of the 9th Division of Reading Force, who was in charge of commanding this battle, got feedback from the tank battalion and wondered: "Damn, which one is this little devil singing?" Can you really calm down? ”

"Division, do you want to suspend the advance of the tank battalion? Let the infantry rush up? A regimental commander on the side asked.

"Five hundred meters is too far away, if the tank battalion does not go up, in case the devil suddenly attacks, the infantry will have to suffer great casualties." Gao Chu groaned and said: "Order the tank battalion to continue to advance, cover the infantry to rush to within 100 meters, and capture the forward position of the little devil in one fell swoop, but be extra careful of the little devil don't fucking what the hell is going on, I always feel a little suspenseful!" ”

"Yes!" The regimental commander suddenly agreed, turned and left.

Soon, about 30 tanks continued to speed forward, and some of the tanks' direct-fire guns were unwilling to be lonely and fired shells at the silent devil's position.

Explosions rang out from time to time, bringing up clouds of smoke and red light on the devil's position, and the earth and gravel that shot from the sky rained down.

The helmets of the devil soldiers who were squatting in the trenches slammed, but all the devils were indifferent, crouching and lying on the spot as if they were dead.

As the minutes passed, the attacking troops of the Northeast New Army were getting closer and closer to the trenches.

The distance between the tank and the infantry is basically kept in the range of tens to hundreds of meters.

Seeing that more than 30 tanks roared into a range of 100 meters from the devil's trench, the tank crews began to speed up one after another, and the distance of less than 100 meters was enough for them to provide any effective fire support for the infantry.

To the surprise of many tank soldiers, the devil did not build an anti-tank trench this time, probably because he knew that the Northeast New Army had bridge-building tanks, so he did not work in vain.

Just as the infantry behind them roared and accelerated their charge, a sudden change suddenly appeared in several trenches in the devil's position.

A squeaky and smoking "grenade" took off into the air and whizzed towards the tank group.

The explosions that the tankers had expected did not sound, but were replaced by white-gray smoke that obscured the sky.

"It can't be a gas bomb, right?" Some tank commanders had their vision blocked, and they picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a bit of a panic.

"Whatever the hell, put on a fucking gas mask, quick!" A major officer calmly yelled into the walkie-talkie.

And at the same time when the tank battalion was shrouded in white smoke and the vision was seriously blocked, no less than 100 devils quietly jumped out of the trench carrying explosives bags.

Under the cover of smoke, they quickly approached the tank battalion.

The devil fired not a poison gas bomb but a smoke bomb, which was a method that Okamura Ninji racked his brains to deal with the surprise attack of the tank armored forces of the Northeast New Army.

Under the smoke, the tank crews of the Northeast New Army did not even perceive that danger was approaching.

Sitting in the tank, their vision was already greatly affected, and the devil soldiers did not make a sound, and the Chinese soldiers liked to roar and boldly when attacking, and approached quietly.

Almost when the infantry of the 9th Division arrived and could not advance or retreat because of the thick smoke, more than 100 devil death squads pounced on more than 30 No. 4 tanks with explosives bags.

It is unlikely that a few people will be found at a certain distance in the dense smoke, but it is relatively easy to spot a behemoth weighing tens of tons and several meters wide and several meters long in advance.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......" a violent explosion sounded in vain, and dazzling red light rose into the air one after another.

Although the explosives pack carried by the devil soldiers were not enough to destroy the entire tank, the violent explosion could still blow up the tracks of the tank.

When the explosion sounded, the infantry of the Northeast New Army, who were not far away, realized that something was wrong and opened fire one after another, but it was too late.

The explosion ended quickly, and although most of the more than 100 devil death squads were killed by two infantry battalions of the Northeast New Army, the vast majority of the tanks lost their ability to move and broke down on the spot.

The situation was so critical that several battalion commanders didn't even have time to ask their superiors, and the devils changed again in the trenches.

The devil's grenadiers and mortars that were still firing smoke grenades just now were reloaded with grenades, and rows of shells suddenly smashed down on the attacking troops of the Northeast New Army, especially the anchor area of the tank battalion.

Explosions occurred one after another, and the casualties of the tank troops and infantry of the Northeast New Army increased sharply.

Soon, the rear of the devil's position had just entered the position, and the 75 cannon field artillery group of the battle-ready artillery wing also opened fire one after another.

The area where the attacking troops were located soon turned into a sea of fire, and from time to time officers and soldiers were hit by raging shrapnel, and blood splattered on the spot.

Some of the shells fell directly into the crowd, easily devouring the lives of the new officers and soldiers in the Northeast who could not evade.

The shelling only carried out a rapid fire, and a devil Dazuo pulled out his command knife and pointed forward: "Kill Gaga!" ”

Thousands of devil soldiers jumped out of the trenches one after another, and quickly rushed towards the explosion area.

One of the commanders of the two infantry battalions responsible for leading the attack was seriously wounded, and the other was directly dismembered into pieces by artillery shells.

Even the platoon commander also suffered heavy losses under the rapid shelling of the devils.

Fortunately, the commander of the tank battalion survived, and under his command, the tank crews who were still in the tank opened fire one after another, and dozens of general-purpose machine guns roared in vain.

The dense bullets poured out like splashes of water, and the ghost soldiers who silently charged with guns fell to the ground one after another.

However, more devils rushed forward one after another, and the surviving infantry also relied on tanks to launch fire back from cover.

"What's going on?" On the sortie position of the 9th Division, Gao Chu asked in shock while holding up a telescope.

The colonel on the side was also anxious and sweating profusely: "I don't know, I can't see anything." ”

At this moment, an unkempt soldier rushed in with a panicked expression.

"Division, regiment!"

"What's wrong? What's going on? Gao Chu put down the binoculars and turned his head and asked urgently.

"We have fallen for the devil's trick, the tank battalion tracks have all been destroyed, the devils have suddenly shelled our attacking troops, the two infantry battalions have suffered heavy losses, the devils have counterattacked on all fronts, and the brothers will not be able to withstand it!" The soldier reported loudly with a sad face.

"What?" Gao Chu was shocked when he heard this.

The colonel's face on the side also changed greatly, and he was about to ask: "Master, I'll bring reinforcements up!" ”

"Hmmm! Go now! The 2nd and 3rd Tank Battalions also rushed to me immediately, and we must not let the 1st Tank Battalion be wiped out here! Gao Chu nodded without thinking.

"Yes!" The colonel saluted and just wanted to leave, but at this moment, the remnants of the Northeast New Army on the battlefield had already retreated.

Both were drawn to the sounds of the battlefield.

"Master, a mess defeated!" The colonel's face was full of astonishment and chagrin.

"I'll immediately rush up with people and recapture a battalion of tanks!" The colonel wanted to turn around as he spoke.

Gao Chu waved his hand and stopped him: "It's too late......"

Almost as Gao Chu's voice fell, more than ten meters of fire and gunpowder smoke rose on the battlefield again.

On the battlefield, the devils used double TNT high explosives this time to finally destroy more than 30 paralyzed No. 4 tanks.

In the battle just now, the surviving more than 100 tank men and devils launched a short but not tragic bloody battle.

Due to the breakdown of the tank, at a distance of less than 100 meters, only a few dozen side-by-side machine guns that could not turn could not stop the approach of the devils.

After a slight detour, the devil soldiers quickly rushed up, and their own infantry had already suffered heavy losses and were forced to retreat.

The tank crews did not have time to evacuate, and they were already surrounded by the crowd of devils.

Under the leadership of their battalion commander, these young Chinese tank men climbed out of the tanks with self-defense pistols and fought the devils to the end.

However, less than half of the Northeast New Army was able to successfully climb out, and after suffering a small loss, the devils immediately blocked other tanks with firepower.

The vast majority of the tank crews died heroically in their beloved vehicles.

Reading the 9th Division attacked the position, Gao Chu said to the adjutant with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Order the troops to suspend the attack and report the battle situation to the commander-in-chief." ”

…………………… At the same time as the battle of Dashiqiao began, the battles in the west and south directions of Yingkou also began one after another.

In the direction of the Da Liao River, the 4th Division of the Northeast New Army, under the command of division commander Liu Jianguo, successfully built a steel bridge in the narrow section of the Da Liao River with bridge-building tanks.

However, their attacking forces were also blocked by Okamura Ninji's smoke warfare methods, and the tanks that had been thrown into the attack on the other side of the bank were all wiped out, and the infantry was almost completely lost.

In the end, less than a third of them were successfully withdrawn.

At the same time, the outcome of the battle in the direction of the Daqing River south of Yingkou was also similar to that of the Dashiqiao and the Daliao River.

Huang Xiansheng and Li Zhenyuan's attacking troops were also subjected to the devil's smoke tactics, and they were also caught off guard by the devils who were unprepared for it.

Lost one and a half battalions of tanks and armored vehicles, as well as half a regiment of infantry.

The all-out offensive of the Northeast New Army was forced to stop, and the various units quickly reported this sudden battle situation to Zhang Xinghan, who was in Haicheng.

Haicheng, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast New Army.

After listening to Li Guocai's report, Zhang Xinghan almost couldn't believe his ears, "Little Lizi, what did you say?" All four divisions failed in their attacks? ”

Li Guocai nodded silently.

Zhang Xinghan was suddenly furious and kicked the chair behind him to the ground.

"His uncle's! Since the beginning of the Shenyang Anti-Japanese War, Lao Tzu has never suffered such a big loss! ”

"The commander is angry, it seems that the army in Yingkou is really not simple, and we underestimate the enemy." Jiang Baili also frowned, and persuaded in a deep voice.
