Chapter 724: The point of fire is exposed

The troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment began to attack the position of the 83rd Wing of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army with the main force, and the tanks of the armored battalion quickly advanced towards the Japanese position under the cover of six 37MM anti-tank guns, and the infantry of the infantry battalion followed behind the tanks to take cover.

Where would the Japanese 83rd Wing expect the tank unit of the new 2nd Brigade to suddenly arrive, and they began to become a little panicked.

The Type 92 infantry guns began to fire at the tanks, even though the artillerymen knew that the anti-personnel grenades of the infantry guns could hardly pose a threat to the tanks at long distances, but they thought that this would boost the morale of the soldiers.

Two mountain guns were set up at the back of the position, and one by one the shells were fired, and they were fired at the tanks accurately.

Grenadier canisters, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, rifles, and a wide variety of weapons from the Japanese positions were also constantly firing.

For a time, shells of different calibers and bullets of all kinds attacked the tank units of the armored battalion.

The 83 Wing is a newly formed unit, and their units are only trained reservists, who have no experience in fighting tanks.

When the armored battalion of the 6th Cavalry Regiment of the New 2nd Brigade appeared here, the devil soldiers looked very panicked, and their performance was not completely inferior to those elite devil soldiers.

The Japanese troops gathered the firepower of the entire wing to suppress it, and they tried in vain to stop the advance of the tanks, because these devil soldiers knew very well that if they let the tanks get close to the position, they would be crushed by the tank tracks.

It's just that in doing so, they completely expose the fire from their positions, which provides a good target for the covering artillery and machine-gun shooters.

SIX 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS OF THE ARMORED BATTALION, FOUR TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS, FOUR 82MM MORTARS, FOUR 20MM MACHINE GUNS, EIGHTEEN LIGHT AND HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, THREE INFANTRY GUNS AND THREE HEAVY MACHINE GUNS OF THE INFANTRY BATTALION, FOUR TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS, FOUR 120MM MORTARS, FOUR 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, AND FOUR 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS OF THE MOUNTED ARTILLERY BATTALION BEGAN TO STRIKE AT THE EXPOSED FIRING POINTS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY.

Forty-five guns of different calibers began to fire, armor-piercing, anti-personnel grenades, grenades, armor-piercing shells, shells of different types were fired.

"Boom, boom." The sound of explosions continued to sound, and the exposed artillery of the Japanese army was shelled one after another.

Five of the ten Type 92 infantry guns of the Japanese army were destroyed on the spot, and the remaining five infantry guns were hurriedly transferred by the devil artillery.

THE TWO TYPE 94 MOUNTAIN GUNS WERE ATTACKED BY FOUR 120MM MORTARS, EIGHT SHELLS EXPLODED NEAR THE JAPANESE MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY, MORE THAN 30 ARTILLERYMEN WERE ALL KILLED, AND TWO TYPE JIUSI MOUNTAIN GUNS WERE ALSO DAMAGED, AND THEY COULD NOT BE USED FOR THE TIME BEING.

The light and heavy machine gun fire points exposed by the Japanese army became the target of infantry artillery and anti-tank guns.

The Type 92 infantry guns could fire both horizontally and curvedly, and all infantry guns were fired horizontally when striking at the light and heavy firepower points of the Japanese army.

One by one, the shells were shot out, and the Japanese fortifications that had not been reinforced were naturally unable to withstand the shell attack, and the Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns were easily blown up.

IN PARTICULAR, THE ATTACKS OF 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS AND 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS DIRECTLY KNOCKED THE LIGHT AND HEAVY MACHINE GUNS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY INTO SCRAP METAL.

The exposed fire points of the 83rd Wing of the Japanese Army withstood heavy shelling, and the Japanese artillery and light and heavy machine guns suffered heavy losses.

"Da Da Da!" A heavy machine gun was still firing fiercely, this heavy machine gun was deployed by the Japanese in the semi-underground fortifications, and the previous shelling did not destroy it.

Seeing that the tank was getting closer and closer to the position, the heavy machine gun shooter immediately began to replace the armor-piercing shells, and the heavy machine gun began to fire fiercely.

Bullets were fired at the T-26 tank at the front, and the bullets "clanged" on the tank's armor, but did not cause any damage to the tank.

The commander of the second armored company, Chen Hao, immediately ordered the car to stop advancing, and he ordered the gunners to quickly reload the armor-piercing shells.

Immediately afterwards, an armor-piercing bullet was fired from the barrel of the tank where Chen Hao was, and this armor-piercing bullet went directly into the shooting hole where the Japanese heavy machine gun was located.

With the sound of an explosion of "boom", the armor-piercing shell directly blew up the fortifications, the heavy machine guns inside the fortifications were destroyed, and the four devil soldiers were all killed.

The firepower of the 83rd Wing could no longer stop the advance of the tank troops, and the armored battalion units were rapidly advancing towards their positions, dozens of artillery pieces were providing protection for the armored battalion, while the cavalry battalion and the infantry battalion were closely following behind the armored troops.

Kuang Zhanxing is a private in the second platoon of the third company of the armored battalion, and he has not joined the new second brigade for a long time, because he read a private school when he was a child and knew some words.

When he first came to the armored battalion, Kuang Zhanxing was stunned when he saw the tanks one after another, especially when he saw that the tanks could turn the turret and drive, Kuang Zhanxing was even more dumbfounded, all of this was simply amazing to him.

But with the understanding of the tank, Kwong Zhanxing is no longer the recruit who was scared to lie on the ground when he saw the tank turret turning, and in a short period of time, Kwong Zhanxing was promoted to a first-class soldier, and after a period of time, he was promoted to a second-class soldier again, Kwong Zhanxing is very clear, after this battle, he will definitely be promoted to a first-class soldier.

The Vickers tank was moving at full speed, and Kwong looked at the machine gun in his hand, and his face showed excitement.

He was the loader of the Vickers tank, loading the commander with shells, and he also played the role of machine gun shooter and radio communicator.

The interior of the tank is limited in space, and each crew member has to work on a different task, except for the driver.

"Reload grenades!" The Vickers tank began to stop advancing, and the commander shouted.

"Reload the grenade, reloaded." Kwong immediately reloaded a grenade while he repeated the commander's order.

With a "boom", the Vickers tank trembled slightly, a grenade was fired, and the Vickers tank continued to drive, and at this time the Vickers tank was advancing at half speed.

"Machine gun free fire." The commander gave the order again.

Kwong Zhanxing looked outside through the shooting hole and saw that there were already ghost soldiers running in front of the tank.

The devil soldiers, armed with different explosive weapons, rushed towards the tank in a frenzy.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Kuang Zhanxing's mouth, and he immediately pulled the trigger, and the tank machine gun began to fire, and bullets shot towards the devil soldiers.

The three devil soldiers who wanted to get close to the tank were directly hit by the tank machine gun, and they fell to the ground, and Kwong Zhan Xing, who killed the three devil soldiers, had a smile on his face.

On the evening of 26 June, the 6th Cavalry Regiment of the New 2nd Brigade rushed back from Zanhuang County to Pingding County, and by 11:58 p.m., the armored battalion of the 6th Cavalry Regiment broke through the position of the 83rd Wing of the 21st Division.
