The 701st Regiment, as Zhang Xinghan's absolute descendant unit, brought out the old foundation, equipment, and soldier quality brought out by the original Reading Force Seventh Brigade is second to none in the entire Reading Division.

As one of the main battalions of the first regiment, the 3rd Battalion was equipped with Garand rifles and a large number of flower traps.

In terms of machine guns, each squad has one MG34 general-purpose machine gun, and the three battalions, in addition to one machine gun company directly under its command, each company has four platoons, and each platoon has four squads, and the total number of general-purpose machine guns in the three infantry companies has reached 48.

With the addition of the directly subordinate machine gun company, the total number of machine guns has reached 60, and 60 general-purpose machine guns with a rate of fire of nearly 89 rounds per minute are firing at the same time.

How horrific is the area and the number of bullets fired? Not to mention that there are hundreds of Garand semi-automatic steps to go with the mp18 charge and are also firing.

So as soon as the guns rang out, the entire front of the position of the three battalions was almost enveloped by a dense barrage of bullets.

Dense bullets hit the armor of the devil tank, and there was a series of clanging crunch sounds one after another, and sparks splashed wildly!

However, more bullets were fired in the gap between the tanks, and the ghost soldiers who charged with the tanks were hit by bullets and fell to the ground as soon as someone was exposed.

However, these devil soldiers are obviously elite divisions that have undergone rigorous training, and most of them hide behind the tanks and follow the tanks forward.

Although the firepower of the three battalions was fierce, it did not cause them too many casualties, let alone stop their continuous advance.

"Grenadier, fire me! Fried him bitch. Zhang Xinghan turned his head and yelled backwards.

A group of grenadiers deployed in the rear of the position opened fire one after another, and after a muffled sound of "tom tom tom," grenades flew down with flames towards the attacking crowd of devils.

The power of the grenadier was fully exerted at this moment, because the army almost formed a narrow attack formation behind the tank in order to avoid the dense bullet rain of the defenders, and the grenades fell into the crowd, and the devils were killed and injured in an instant, and they screamed again and again.

After suffering a loss, the devil's grenadier quickly returned fire, but because of the range of the grenadier, the devil's grenade failed to threaten the grenadiers of the third battalion at all.

The reason is that the grenadier equipped by the devil is the 11th year of the Taisho model in active service, and the effective range is only 200 meters, while Zhang Xinghan equipped his subordinates with ** grenadiers that are more advanced than the 11th year of the Taisho type.

This grenadier has twice the range of the Taisho 11th year, which is why Zhang Xinghan deployed the grenadiers behind the position.

Taking advantage of the range, the devils who hit have no power to fight back.

The grenadiers continued to fire, and some grenades even fell on the roof of the Devil Tank that was roaring forward, and although the violent explosion did not destroy the Devil's tank, it caused a large area of damage to the Devil soldiers who were following the tank.

After the grenade exploded on the roof of the tank, the shrenchnel hit the steel plate and bounced off in a circle, so that the devils who followed the tank could not hide at all.

However, as the battle progressed, the Devil's tank guns caused a lot of damage to the machine gunners and grenadiers of the third battalion.

Seeing that the devil's tank was about to rush within a hundred meters, at this moment, a piercing scream familiar to the officers and soldiers of the Reading Division suddenly came from the sky.

Zhang Xinghan looked back and saw five Stuka dive bombers swooping towards him.

"Lie down!" Zhang Xinghan shouted at the top of his voice, and fell down in the trench after saying that.

Other officers and soldiers spread word of mouth, hand in hand, and stopped firing one after another, lying down in the trench.

Five Stuka whizzed by almost at a very low altitude, and not only began to drop bombs, but several airborne machine guns also opened fire.

Dense bullets came from the air, and the devils hiding behind the tank suddenly had nowhere to hide, and they were all shot and wailing to the end.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" As heavy bombs were dropped, a series of huge explosions began to sound.

Zhang Xinghan, who was lying in the trench, could clearly feel the ground trembling under him, and there were scorching shock waves whistling over the trench from time to time.

At the end of the first dive of the five Stukas, six of the tanks turned into a pile of scrap metal in the firelight, and the ghost soldiers who followed the tank charge were even more knocked down by the wanton explosion shock wave, and many of the ghost soldiers were shattered.

Those who were close to the point of the drop were directly torn to pieces, and the bones were gone, and they were wiped out.

The five Stuka bombers quickly turned around in the air and swooped down again on the attacking force, which was already nearly paralyzed.

"Boom, boom...... "When the five bombs were dumped, all 12 tanks had been blown to slag.

Hundreds of devil soldiers who attacked with the tanks were also killed and wounded, and the entire battlefield was filled with smoke and fire, and the miserable howls of the wounded soldiers were everywhere.

Only then did the five Stukas shake their wings and fly back.

Zhang Xinghan shook his head, tried to shake off the dirt and dust on his head, and got up from the trench.

As far as the eye could see, the front of the position had turned into a sea of fire, thick smoke everywhere, and blazing fire everywhere.

Niu Erzhu, the commander of the third battalion, also got up from the trench and hurriedly ran to Zhang Xinghan: "Master, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Zhang Xinghan patted the dirt on his body.

"Our air force is really powerful, this guy has blown all these things into slag." Niu Erzhu looked at the front of the gunsmoke, and said proudly.

Zhang Xinghan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, threw one to Niu Erzhu, lit one himself, took two puffs, and said: "I estimate that the devil's air defense force has not yet arrived, and the next battle will not be so smooth, let the brothers hurry up and replenish ammunition to rescue the wounded, and then there will be a fierce battle." ”

"Yes!" Niu Erzhu hurriedly took out the cigarette he had just put in his mouth and stood upright.

……………… Liaoyang, the headquarters of the 12th Division of the Army.

After answering a phone call, Chief of Staff Ogawa Toshio walked up to the division commander Sugiyama Mototo, with a solemn face.

"Ogawa-kun, what's wrong?" Sugiyama asked at a loss.

"Report to the General (Your Excellency the General), the 24th Soldier Company の電話で、彼らの攻撃のためにわたる支Na空軍戦闘機の爆撃のために失敗し、戦車連隊の中隊全員玉砕。 (The 24th Infantry Wing called, their attack was failed by bombing by the Chinese Air Force fighters, and a squadron of the Tank Wing was shattered.) Ogawa Toshio bowed his head and reported: "The forward commander wants my 4th Air Defense Division to rush to the front line immediately to cover the attacking troops!" ”

Hearing this, Sugiyama asked "Where is the 4th Air Defense Wing now?" Why haven't you rushed to the front yet? ”

"The 4th Air Defense Unit has been operating with the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade, because the railway from the lighthouse to Sujiatun was damaged by a small group of troops of the Chinese Army, and the engineer unit is currently rushing to repair it, so it is still at the lighthouse." Ogawa replied.

"Order the 4th Air Wing to immediately dispatch a brigade, which should be dragged by car and rushed to the Sujiatun front line to prevent another air attack by the Chinese Air Force." Sugiyama Mototo: Immediately cut off.

"Hay!"

…………………… Dalian Lushun, known as the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

"Your Excellency General, the latest news from the Special High School is that Sujiatun has been captured by the Chinese army, and the Hunhe Railway Bridge has also been destroyed due to the bombing of the Chinese Air Force." Ishihara Waner bowed his head to Minamijiro and reported.

"Has there been an investigation to find out that the troops of the China Army did it?" Minamijiro's face was a little serious.

"Not yet, but according to the analysis of the battle report of the 12th Division, it is likely to be the branch that attacked the 9th Division." Ishihara replied.

"Sujiatun must be recaptured, and at the same time, in order not to affect the morale of all divisions and regiments on the front, this news must be kept secret." Minamijiro commanded with some anger.

"General Sugiyama Yuan has mobilized the 12th Division to start preparing to attack Sujiatun, and I believe that it will be recaptured soon." Ishihara walked on thin ice.

"Telegraphed to the commander of the Sugiyama Yuan Division that the Imperial Air Force would be able to enter the battle to support in five days at most, and asked him to recapture Sujiatun and open up communication between the two banks of the Hunhe River." Minamijiro Road.

"Hai" Ishihara suddenly put his feet together and bowed his head in response, and then turned to leave.

…………………… In the afternoon, an antiaircraft group of the 4th Air Defense Wing of the Japanese Army was ordered to leave the lighthouse station and be dragged by car to the Sujiatun front.

Less than five kilometers away from the lighthouse, the anti-aircraft group was spotted by scouts of the Reading Division who were lying in ambush nearby.

The scouts immediately informed the armored company that was lying in ambush near the wicker village.

After receiving this information, Li Zhenyuan decisively decided to lead the armored company to attack, kill the air defense unit of the Yue Army, and prevent them from reinforcing the Sujiatun battlefield.

The lighthouse is only more than 50 miles away from Sujiatun, but this is a railway journey, and because the railway was damaged, the anti-aircraft brigade of the Yue army had to detour along the dirt road.

The distance increased by at least ten kilometers or so, and when the anti-aircraft brigade of the Japanese army drove to the vicinity of the town of Linshengbao, Li Zhenyuan's armored company caught up with them.

Forty No. 3 tanks and armored vehicles were flanked in two fronts and forwards, and the sudden blow caught the anti-aircraft brigade off guard, the anti-aircraft guns did not have time to adjust their muzzles, and the anti-aircraft machine guns could not deal an effective blow to the No. 3 tank.

On the contrary, the 50mm tank gun of Tank No. 3 blasted the army's tractor vehicle, along with the anti-aircraft gun and anti-aircraft machine gun, into scrap metal.

Hundreds of Devil air defense soldiers were killed and wounded under the crossfire of the vehicle-mounted machine guns of the armored vehicles of the armored company.

The battle lasted less than 20 minutes before it ended, and the armored company suffered no casualties, and completely annihilated the air defense brigade with rapid and powerful firepower.

By the time the reinforcements arrived from the lighthouse, Li Zhenyuan had already led the armored company to evacuate the battlefield early.
