Chapter 628: Breaking through the line of defense

THE ARMORED BATTALION ADVANCED AT FULL SPEED UNDER THE COMMAND OF YIN JINSHAN, AND THE FOUR TYPE 92 ARMORED VEHICLES AT THE BATTALION HEADQUARTERS AND FIVE TYPE JIUYI ARMORED VEHICLES AND FIVE TYPE 92 ARMORED VEHICLES OF THE JIBU BATTALION FOLLOWED SUIT, AND THE THREE INFANTRY GUNS, SIX HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, THREE 60MM MORTARS, EIGHT 20MM MACHINE GUNS, 27 LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, AND 27 GRENADIERS OF THE JIBU BATTALION BEGAN TO BE ERECTED SEPARATELY TO ATTACK THE JAPANESE INFANTRY.

The tanks were moving at full speed ahead, and the infantry were following closely behind, and the expressions on the faces of the devil soldiers began to change.

Looking at the tanks getting closer and closer, the burden on the ghost soldiers became more and more heavy, especially after the bullets could not pose a threat to the tank at all, the ghost soldiers even had the idea of retreating.

Standing on the high ground to watch the battle, the calm face of the Japanese captain Shaozo began to show a trace of sadness, he held a telescope to watch the battle of the first squadron and the second squadron, when he saw that the four anti-tank guns were completely destroyed, after seeing the tanks directly rushing towards the infantry, the pupils of the captain Shaozo began to dilate, and his face was full of stunned expressions.

The casualties of the 1st and 2nd squadrons were already more than a hundred, and the remaining two hundred people immediately began to disperse.

Their light machine guns were often suppressed by the infantry battalion fire as soon as they were erected, and the devil soldiers could only find cover.

The tank broke through the defense line of the 1st and 2nd squadrons, and more than a dozen devil soldiers in front of the tank were all crushed into pulp.

The armored battalion troops simply ignored these devil soldiers, and they continued to advance towards the depth of the Japanese army.

The armored vehicles that followed fired wildly at the Japanese troops around them, and then they followed behind the tanks and flew away.

By the time the devil soldiers reacted, the officers and soldiers of the Jibu Battalion had already begun to come to them.

Ye Zimin, the commander of the Jibu Battalion, left one company of officers and soldiers to deal with these scattered devil soldiers, and he and his two companies continued to follow behind the tank.

"Baga Ya Road, attack quickly, don't let the tank continue to advance."

The captain of the 1st Squadron saw that the tanks had broken through the defense line of his squadron, and he roared loudly.

In the depths were the positions of Japanese artillery and heavy machine guns, and there was the headquarters of the 19th Brigade, and if the tanks hit there, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The captain squadron leader of the 1st squadron immediately ordered the troops to pursue, but at this time his mind was clearly a little uncool.

Not to mention that the light and heavy weapons of the infantry battalion and the officers and soldiers of a company are still there, even if the infantry of the first brigade is allowed to catch up with the tanks, how can these infantry intercept the tanks?

As soon as the captain's squadron leader's words fell, a bullet hit him in the head, and the snipers of the 1st Company of the Infantry Battalion began to shoot.

The captain squadron leader became an opponent for the sniper, and he was shot in the head on the spot.

Dozens of light and heavy machine guns, eight machine guns, three infantry guns, and 27 grenadiers accompanied by more than 100 officers and men cleared the remnants of the 1st and 2nd squadrons.

The two squadrons were in an offensive formation, and a long line of skirmishers was drawn between them, and the Japanese troops were scattered, and they began to be broken by the officers and men of the infantry battalion one by one.

The two squadrons of devil soldiers were simply unable to organize an effective defense, and when the tanks broke through their defenses, they were already in danger of being wiped out.

The face of the captain of Shao Zuo on the high ground became extremely pale, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

It was 7:20 a.m., and the two sides had not been fighting for half an hour, when the tank units of the New 2nd Brigade began to break through the defenses of the two squadrons and advanced directly to their own depth.

"Captain, we're in danger here, let's move immediately." The captain's staff officer said with a panicked face.

Seeing the tanks getting closer and closer, the captain's staff began to realize that they were likely to be killed.

Captain Shao Zuo held the binoculars and looked towards the flank, at this time, he could only hope that the flank could make some progress.

But the 3rd Squadron of the Japanese Army, which was in charge of the detour, was still in a bad situation.

As Sun Weiguo's orders began to be issued, the cavalry battalion troops began to assemble from the flanks.

The Sixth Cavalry Regiment is the establishment of a cavalry regiment, but at present the Sixth Cavalry Regiment is an overstaffed unit, and the unit has four battalions under its jurisdiction, except for the normal establishment of the armored battalion and the infantry battalion, the cavalry battalion and the cavalry artillery battalion are all overstaffed, and the cavalry battalion is currently full of more than 600 people, which is completely the establishment of a cavalry regiment, and the cavalry artillery battalion has more than 20 artillery pieces, which is the establishment of an artillery regiment.

THE CAVALRY BATTALION HAD MORE THAN 400 CAVALRY MEN, BUT THE SUPPORTING FIREPOWER WAS FOUR INFANTRY GUNS, FOUR 82MM MORTARS, FOUR MACHINE GUNS, AND EIGHTEEN LIGHT AND HEAVY MACHINE GUNS.

The firepower of the Japanese cavalry battalion was only eight heavy machine guns, two mountain guns, and two infantry guns, and in contrast, the cavalry battalion had a clear advantage in supporting firepower.

What's more, the twenty-four guns of the cavalry battalion will also provide firepower for the cavalry battalion.

After the cavalry battalion engaged the Japanese 3rd Squadron, the time did not exceed a minute, and the four Type 92 heavy machine guns of the machine gun squad belonging to the 3rd Squadron of the Japanese Army were destroyed by the infantry artillery, and the cavalry began to kill the Japanese infantry under the leadership of the battalion commander Ge Haifeng.

As always, Ge Haifeng is still at the forefront, and Ge Haifeng, who is holding the saber, is in the lead.

When the Japanese infantry saw the cavalry charge, they immediately began to set up light machine guns and grenadiers, which they wanted to rely on to stop the cavalry.

However, no sooner had their light machine guns been erected than they came under mortar fire.

Before the grenadier could be loaded, the grenadier was beaten to pieces by the armor-piercing shells of the machine gun.

Eighteen light and heavy machine guns formed a network of crossfire from both sides and fired at the Japanese infantry squadron, and the Japanese third squadron became a lamb.

The sharp saber slashed through the necks of the devil soldiers, and the heads of the ghost soldiers fell to the ground one by one.

Ge Haifeng habitually cut off the heads of the ghost soldiers, which would bring a great morale blow to the ghost soldiers.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion are similar to Ge Haifeng's habits, and the cavalry with relatively large strength will also learn from Ge Haifeng and directly cut off the heads of the devil soldiers.

On the ground were the rolling heads of the devil soldiers, and the four hundred cavalry began to carry out a slaughter of more than a hundred devil soldiers.

The corpses were all over the ground, blood stained the soil, and dozens of remnants of the devil soldiers turned pale, and they immediately turned around and fled with their weapons.

But how could they have evaded the cavalry, Ge Haifeng gasped, and he cut off the heads of six devil soldiers in one go, one of which was a second lieutenant squad leader.

Seeing dozens of ghost soldiers fleeing, Ge Haifeng put away his saber, he picked up the shell gun and shot at the back of the ghost soldiers.

The cavalrymen also began to put away their sabers, and they took out their rifles and fired a volley at the devil soldiers.
