Chapter 149: Breaking through the first line of defense

There were at least 100 M3 tanks that were the first to fire, and each tank had 1 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and 2 7.62mm machine guns, and hundreds of tanks were three or four hundred machine guns.

At present, the three mechanized infantry regiments of the mechanized infantry brigade have changed their formation, and the three mechanized infantry regiments are lined up in a row, forming a torrent of steel at least two or three kilometers wide, which is approaching the position of small Japan.

At this time, the little devils in the position were ready for battle, and they were immediately hit by a storm.

On the Japanese position, many little devils lying in the trenches ready to shoot were killed by this fierce shooting, and some Japanese soldiers were even directly hit in the head.

A large number of bullets hit the Japanese positions with mud splashing and popping, especially those trenches of the Japanese army, which were simply covered by a dense rain of bullets.

A little devil with a crooked machine gun, ready to shoot at a distance, suddenly, his head exploded directly, and Bai Huahua's brain splattered all over the ground, obviously, this little devil was directly shot in the head by an anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Yaga! Kill give!! ”

A Japanese soldier, seeing that the Japanese soldiers were killed a lot, was so angry that he shouted, held his command knife high, shouted with all his might, and ordered the little devils on the position to fight back.

Some little devils still began to shoot under the ferocious fire of the soldiers, especially the Japanese soldiers in some bunkers and bunkers, and these Japanese soldiers either shot with machine guns or with Type 38 rifles.

The Japanese fire made the chariots of the mechanized infantry brigade clange. Fortunately, the firepower of the Japanese was much weaker than that of the soldiers. The tank group of the mechanized infantry brigade was getting closer and closer to the positions of the Japanese army.

"Give me a cannon to knock out the little devil's bunker and knock out the little devil's bunker."

Tang Wankun, commander of the mechanized infantry brigade, saw that the Japanese army actually returned fire and shot at the soldiers' chariot group. Shout into your wireless phone.

Although the combat vehicles equipped with the mechanized infantry brigade are basically M3 half-track vehicles, they are still equipped with M8 and M20 vehicles.

The main armament of the M8 wheeled armored vehicle was a 37-mm 57-caliber M6 tank gun. The main armament of the M20 is also 1 37 mm, and these two types of armored vehicles can sometimes even be used as tank destroyers, and now, they can be used against the bunkers and pillboxes of the little devils.

A moving M8 wheeled armored vehicle. I saw a Japanese bunker two or three hundred meters ahead. There was also apparently a machine gun inside, which was being fired through the firing hole.

Seeing this bunker, the gunner of this armored car immediately aimed at the bunker of this civil structure of the little devil, and after aiming, it was a shot.

At a distance of 300 meters, it directly hit the target, and with a loud "boom", it directly destroyed the bunker of the little devils, and all the little devils inside were killed. The little devil's machine gun that was shooting was naturally scrapped.

Not far away, an M20 armored car was not to be outdone. Aiming at a Japanese pillbox, a small concrete bunker with three or four shooting holes on it, it was shooting at the soldiers' chariots.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The gunner of this M20 armored car is of a good level, and several shells in a row, all of which hit the target directly, almost blowing up this cement pillbox, and several little devils inside are obviously dying.

Whether it is an M8 armored car or an M20 armored car, the theoretical rate of fire of the 37mm gun reaches 30 rounds per minute, and the actual rate of fire is close to 20 rounds per minute.

Just now, against this cement bunker of the little devil, this M20 armored car may have several armor-piercing shells in a row to kill the solid cement bunker of the little devil.

The fighters had a clear division of labor, the M3 half-track armored vehicle was mainly used against the Japanese army with little protection, while the M8 armored car and M20 armored car were mainly used against the Japanese fortifications, such as destroying the Japanese machine-gun fire points, defensive bunkers, pillboxes, etc.

At a distance of several hundred meters, the combat vehicles of the mechanized infantry brigade quickly rushed over and rushed directly to this position of the Japanese army, shooting while advancing into the depth of the Japanese position.

The sound of fierce shooting, the sound of violent explosions, was very dense, hundreds of chariots directly crushed the Japanese position, and the little devil's defense line of two or three kilometers wide was suddenly shattered, and the ground was a mess, full of the corpses of the little devils.

A little devil who was shooting with a crooked machine gun, seeing that his shooting was almost ineffective, hitting the chariot of the mechanized infantry brigade was basically no different from tickling, and his eyes were full of despair.

There was also a little devil, seeing a Chinese tank getting closer and closer, he immediately turned his heart sideways, held a grenade in one hand, screamed, and rushed to this M3 half-track tank.

"Boom, boom."

Two explosions in a row startled the soldiers on the car, fortunately, the chariot was fine, and the soldiers also began to pay attention to the little devils in the secret passage.

The M3 half-track tank full of fighters, except for a few fighters who fired horizontally with anti-aircraft machine guns and the two 7.62 mm machine guns, the rest of the fighters, either with Garand rifles or Thomson submachine guns, also joined in the shooting.

A soldier with a Garand rifle found a little devil dozens of meters away in the M3 armored car, this soldier aimed slightly, gently pulled the trigger, and the bullet accurately hit the little devil in the chest.

There was also a soldier who was more lucky, he actually found a Japanese captain, and found this little Japanese officer with a command knife, this soldier was slightly excited, but in addition to being excited, he still did not forget to hold his submachine gun at this little Japanese is a strafing shot, and this little Japanese officer was immediately beaten into a honeycomb.

As a large number of chariots rushed up, the positions of Little Japan were full of chariots galloping, and the number of little devils was drastically decreasing.

The supreme commander of the Japanese army in this position, a Japanese lieutenant, saw that more than a thousand little devils were simply being slaughtered, and his heart was so painful that his heart was almost dripping blood, and it was only a long time, only ten minutes, and there were less than 500 people left of more than 1,000 people.

In the entire position, only in some trenches, some bunkers that have not been destroyed for the time being, there are little devils who are stubbornly resisting, but the end of these little devils will soon come.

More than 100 tanks and 20 or 30 armored vehicles of the 1st Tank Regiment of the Armored Brigade also came, and the main guns of these M4 tanks reached 76 mm, which was more terrifying than the 37 mm M8 and M20 armored vehicles.

As soon as these tanks rushed over, they shelled the remaining cement bunkers of Little Japan at close range, almost one at a time, and soon all the bunkers on the Japanese positions were completely destroyed.

The tanks of the 1st Tank Regiment did not stop here, but directly interspersed from here and continued north, and everyone's task was to reach the north of Hangzhou and block the reinforcements of the Japanese army in the direction of Shanghai.

The tank regiment gradually moved away, and the fighters of the mechanized infantry brigade were still cleaning up the remnants of the enemy on this position, and the remaining little devils were shot and killed by the fighters one by one.

A Japanese lieutenant saw that his position was almost all lost, and there were not many little devils on the position, so under the cover of several little devils, he fled in panic with the two remaining little Japanese officers.

However, this Japanese soldier did not run far before he was discovered by the soldiers of several chariots, and seeing that it was an officer of Little Japan, the soldiers of these chariots suddenly became interested.

Several machine guns fired at the team of the little Japanese Nakasa, and the dense firepower turned these little devils, including the Japanese Nakasa, into a sieve.

Not far from this position, that is, about a few kilometers in the direction of Hangzhou City, there is a more large Japanese position, if the Japanese position occupied by the soldiers of the mechanized infantry brigade just now is the first line of defense, that huge, stretching for several kilometers of Japanese positions is the second line of defense, and then close to Hangzhou City, there is the third line of defense of the Japanese army.

In order to prevent the attack of Ye Feng's troops, the 6th Division of Little Japan built a total of three lines of defense in the west of Hangzhou, running north-south, which consisted of trenches, pillboxes, and even barbed wire.

The first line of defense was the smallest and closest to the independent brigade's eastern defense line, the first line of defense was more than 1,000 Japanese troops, while the second line of defense was more than 3,000 people, and the third line of defense of the Japanese army, which was close to Hangzhou City, was only larger than the second line of defense.

At the front line of the second line of defense of the Japanese army, the Japanese army dispatched several observation posts to observe the battle of the first line of defense in front.

What made these Japanese troops even more frightened when they saw the battle situation ahead was that the first line of defense in front did not hold out for half an hour, and it was wiped out in front of hundreds of tanks of the Chinese army and ceased to exist.

These small Japanese forward observation posts immediately hurried to the second line of defense of the Japanese army with a little pale face, and reported to the supreme commander of the Japanese army on the second line of defense, a Japanese army Dazuo.

Half an hour the first line of defense was gone, and the Japanese soldier was shocked, and while directing the Japanese troops in the position to push out the 37-mm battle defense guns, he hurriedly reported to the headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division in the city.

A few months ago, when the armored brigade was still a tank regiment, it ravaged the little devils in the west of Hangzhou, and in order to prevent the reappearance of China's tank group, the Japanese Sixth Division urgently equipped more than 30 37-mm combat defense guns, and also equipped a tank brigade.

The first line of defense has been lost, and in order to defend against the Chinese army's tank group to attack his second line of defense, the Japanese army Dazuo ordered the little devils to launch all the battle defense guns and prepare to attack the Chinese tank group.
