"Knock knock!" Amid the dull sound of firing, 22 dark red bullet marks were streaked across the sky with 37-mm grenades, and the swarm of shells fired at the extreme distance screamed and pounced on the first trench of the 3rd Battalion.

A series of explosions sounded around the first trench, orange fireballs rose from the ground, and sharp shrapnel and sharp gravel flew everywhere in the smoke.

As the officers and men hid in the anti-artillery holes, the strings of walls that were supported by the officers and soldiers fell, especially the sandbags that were hidden on the first trench, and they were all lifted into the sky in the violent shock wave.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

With the orders of the officers at all levels of the Chinese defenders, the erection and loading of ammunition were completed, and after the completion of the assembly in one go, only four tanks in the rapidly reacting tank group were still within the effective firing range.

The two platoon commanders who decided to leave these four Type 94 ultralight tanks behind gave the same order: "Concentrate fire on the front two!" ”

The four machine guns were under the influence of the shooter, and the two Type 94 ultralight tanks that were running wildly in front were firmly encased in the scope.

Just when the officer was still wondering why the Chinese on the opposite side did not move, four scorching tongues of fire suddenly spat out from the top of the opposite mountain, and dark red bullet marks roared towards the two Type 94 ultralight tanks.

Two strings of high-speed flying bullets scrambled to kiss the armor behind the back of a Type 94 ultralight tank, and only a dozen warheads flew after the thin-skinned steel armor of only five millimeters collapsed, only a series of "dong dong dong" was heard, and then there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the tank diesel engine suddenly caught fire, and the entire tank was swallowed up by the licking flames in an instant.

In the flames, the top compartment was opened, and a tank soldier who was on fire jumped down with a howl, desperately rolling on the ground, but the flames ignited by the high-purity diesel fuel burned more and more, and after a howl of pain, the humanoid torch stopped struggling.

After the other two strings of bullets successfully penetrated the Type 94 ultralight tank, they flew into the grenade group with the fuse already on.

In the sound of the "boom boom" ammunition, the two-ton Type 94 ultralight tank shook violently, a crimson fireball emerged from the tank, and the entire turret suddenly rose into the air in the firelight, flew up more than 10 meters in the air, and then rolled forward and fell to the ground, overturned to the ground, and still burned with raging fire. The bottom of the tank left on the ground turned into a burning iron coffin.

The commander of the chariot who witnessed the drastic change howled in pain: "Baga! Damn the Shina people! The hand holding the telescope trembled involuntarily.

And all this was not over yet, and in the frightened eyes of the officers and soldiers, the four chains of fire rolled towards the other two Type 94 ultralight tanks that were desperately turning to avoid the ruins of the tanks in front.

The Type 94 ultralight tank was lucky that the bullet hit the engine at high speed after piercing the steel armor.

"Squeak, collapse!" The aluminum alloy engine was shattered in an instant, and the stalled Type 94 ultralight tank lay there motionless after completing a beautiful drift.

The three tank soldiers who were hit in the tank and broke their heads and bled out, screamed, opened the top compartment and jumped out, and rushed to safety.

"Kill them!"

With the roar, a machine gun fired a small range under the shooter's indulgence, and dozens of bullets formed a fire sickle bullet and whistled towards the three tank soldiers who were rushing wildly, and the three fragile human bodies were torn into three blood balls in an instant, and the blood mist rose into the air, and various human fragments danced in the air.

The last Type 94 ultralight tank was very unfortunate to be hit in the magazine, and the pile of grenades exploded violently, and the orange fireball suddenly broke through the restraints of the thin hull and broke out of the car.

The commander, gunner, and loader of the tank were blown away along with the turret, and the entire body of the tank was blown into a pile of scrap metal, leaving only a tank chassis with a raging flame.

"Damn machine guns!" Furong Zhenping put down the binoculars with a pale face, but he didn't expect that the machine gun used to concentrate on it would become the most effective weapon against the Imperial tanks in the hands of the [***] people.

Glancing at Ichiro Kudo, who was still staring at the four burning tank ruins, Fukuei Mahei immediately ordered the telegraph operator to call for air support directly.

Wang Guanwu, who once again witnessed the power of the machine gun, said with a little regret: "Commander-in-chief, if our artillery is also there, none of these tanks of the little devil will be able to escape!" ”

With a faint smile, Goofy pointed to the sky.

Confused by Goofy's movements, Crown Five was about to ask, when a roar was heard in the distance.

The nearly 1,000 officers and men in the trenches could be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, but they had never seen such a large group of bombers of the Japanese army, and the black pressure was so large that even the sky seemed to be blocked.

After looking at the rapidly approaching "black cloud", the extremely shocked Crown Five turned his head to look at Gao Fei.

Gao Fei, who took a long breath, regained his composure, picked up the phone and ordered the command posts: "All personnel in all trenches, except for observation posts, immediately enter the anti-artillery hole!" ”

In a series of "yes", Gao Fei connected the phone call from the artillery battalion directly under the 31st Division: "Pay attention to camouflage in artillery positions, no shooting is allowed without an order!" ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" A firm answer from the artillery commander came over the microphone.

Soon, the huge group of planes of the Yue army roared into the sky above Taierzhuang, and the roar of the star-shaped piston engine and the sound of the propeller churning in the air were mixed together, making a shocking loud noise.

This huge group of 24 Type 97 heavy bombers and 12 Nakajima fighters was the 2nd Flying Regiment of the 3rd Flying Division of the Japanese Army, and after receiving an order from Lieutenant General Kenta Iwasaki, commander-in-chief of the 3rd Flying Division, the 63rd Wing, it urgently reinforced.

Under the command of the commander of the 2nd Flying Regiment, Ichiro Nishimura, 36 planes flew one after another and changed into a formation of four.

"The bombers enter in turn in squads, and the fighters are ready to suppress the anti-aircraft fire of China!" Nishimura Ichiro's command sounded in the headphones of all drivers.

Then the four Type 97 heavy bombers lowered their altitude and slammed down viciously on the ground.

At an altitude of 100 meters, the four planes that swooped down with a strange scream were leveled at the same time, and eight bombs weighing nearly 100 catties roared towards Taierzhuang.

In the sound of the "calling" aerial bomb breaking through the air, Luo Hanliang, the commander of the fourth battalion in the first trench bomb shelter, shouted, "The little devils have started bombing, they all open their mouths, don't move!" ”

With a "boom" sound, a violent explosion sounded, and in an instant, the entire air-raid shelter trembled, and sand and gravel fell down, and the officers and men fell all over their heads with a pop.

This explosion was just the beginning, and then, with the continuous explosion sounded, the whole Taierzhuang jumped up as if it was pushed by a pair of big hands, and then began to tremble violently, and some of the stones on the roof of the air-raid shelter could not bear the shock, and fell down in pieces, and it suddenly seemed like a rain of mud in the air-raid shelter.

A group of four Type 97 heavy bombers entered Taierzhuang in turn to carry out low-altitude bombing, and the "Xiu-Xiu" aerial bombs landed on the position, and with one "boom" after another, countless churning flames exploded, and the big trees collapsed with a sad "squeak" sound from the explosion, and the lumps of dirt and gravel flew up into the air one after another and then fell to the ground, causing a "rustle" sound on the ground.

The officers and men hiding in the anti-artillery holes had long been accustomed to this kind of wanton bombardment by the Japanese army, and they silently endured the endless roar with their mouths wide open. They knew that the top of their bomb shelter would be safe as long as they didn't get hit by several bombs in a row.

At greatest danger now were the five officers and men who stood at the observation posts in each trench, with sharp shrapnel and blown rubble screaming over their heads like locusts.

The only thing these officers and men could do except cling their bodies to the edge of the trenches was to secretly pray that the bombs would not fall on their side.

Prayers were sometimes useless on the battlefield, and casualties began to appear when the third wave of twenty-four bombs exploded on Taierzhuang.

The four officers and soldiers at the center of the explosion didn't even snort, and their bodies, which were no longer breathing, were thrown into the air by the tyrannical shock wave, and then they were cut into pieces of flesh by the sharp shrapnel that filled the space.

An anti-artillery hole was unfortunately hit by several aerial bombs and collapsed with a bang, and the more than 10 officers and men hiding inside were all blown into a pile of flesh and blood without exception, and blood gushing out like a spring flowed everywhere in the pile of rubble.

"Platoon commander, shoot!" The shooter, clinging to the butt of the machine gun, shouted with red eyes.

The two platoon commanders, who knew that the machine guns did not have many opportunities to shoot, originally wanted to take advantage of the intensive bombing of the planes to shoot down more planes, but they did not expect that the cunning planes would bomb in batches, and the 12 Nakajima-type fighters were hovering at high altitude like ghosts!

Unable to wait any longer, the elimination of one could reduce the pressure on the position, and the two platoon commanders below the determination waved the signal flags to each other.

"Withdraw!" Under the platoon commander's order, the ammunition men who desperately picked up the chain silently withdrew to the bomb shelter, "You go down too!" "A platoon commander ordered the deputy shooter.

"Platoon commander, I" The deputy shooter still wanted to insist, but was pushed out of the position by the platoon commander.

The platoon commander who filled the position of the deputy shooter did not reply, "When we are finished, you will go again!" ”

The co-shooter, blinded by tears, stomped his foot hard and rushed to the bomb shelter.

"Two and one, concentrate on shooting!" Another platoon commander gave the signal.

As the platoon commander's signal flag fell, the four deputy shooters roared at the same time, "Shoot!" ”

The four shooters who had already firmly encased the two Type 97 heavy bombers that were diving down towards the position in the scope hooked the board machine to the end at the same time.

Nishimura Ichiro, who was in the Nakajima-style fighter, thought proudly while admiring the masterpieces of his subordinates, "It seems that the anti-aircraft fire of Shina is hiding in fear when it sees the powerful Imperial Air Force!" ”

Just as he proudly watched the fourth batch of Type 97 heavy bombers swoop down, four slender chains of fire swooped down from behind Taierzhuang to the two Type 97 heavy bombers who had just been leveled and were about to drop bombs, "Hurry up!" Nishimura Ichiro's howl rang out in all the headphones.

The two pilots of the Chinese army, who had no idea that the ground anti-aircraft fire would open fire, were so busy when they heard Nishimura Ichiro's warning that they pulled their longitudinal poles and wanted to make a move.

It was too late, and a Type 97 heavy bomber that was being pulled up suddenly shook, and two strings of 12.7 mm large-caliber bullets drilled into the left flank, and in a series of thumps, the left flank was hanged.

The unbalanced Type 97 heavy bomber turned its head to the ground in the distance with a strange scream, and exploded into a huge fireball with a "boom".

Another Type 97 heavy bomber was hit directly by a string of bullets into the fuel tank, and with a flash of fire, a large orange fireball rose from the fuselage, and before the pilot could react, the Type 97 heavy bomber burst apart in the continuous explosions, turning into smoke and scattered in all directions.

In front of him, two bombers were shot down, and the embarrassed Nishimura Ichiro pressed the longitudinal pole, and the Nakajima fighter screamed and pounced on the air defense position that was still spitting flames.

The four shooters who were ignoring the Nakajima-type fighters who pounced on them shook their machine guns, and the angry tongue of fire rolled towards the other two Type 97 heavy bombers that were detaching at high speed.

The "Da Da Da" Nakajima fighter fired three tongues of fire, like three fire whips, along the ground straight towards a machine gun position.

The shooter, who didn't blink his eyes, shook the machine gun desperately, and the moment the whip hit him, he finally sent the fire chain into the tail of the Type 97 heavy bomber.

At the same time as a brilliant firework burst into the sky, this machine gun position was also shrouded like a dense rain of bullets, and a large cloud of blood mist rose from the position.

With tears streaming down his face, the co-shooter raised his machine gun stained with the flesh of his companion and fired wildly at the Nakajima-style fighter who swooped down like locusts.

Seeing that another Type 97 heavy bomber was destroyed, Ichiro Nishimura called on all the Nakajima fighters to immediately attack the defenders' air defense positions.

The Type 97 heavy bomber that had escaped from the fire net and the other twenty Type 97 heavy bombers immediately left the sky full of dark red bullet marks.

Three Type 97 heavy bombers were shot down after only three batches of aerial bombs, and Fukuei Zhenping, who did not expect this result, ordered the twenty Type 92 infantry guns that had been deployed to open fire immediately.

At the sound of the order, the Type 92 infantry gun spat out a series of orange and scarlet tongues of fire, and the 70-mm grenade slammed into Taierzhuang in twenty dark red arcs in the sky.

"Boom-boom-" The grenade fell on the position, and the messy position was once again ravaged by artillery fire.

When the 1st Squadron of the Light Tank Brigade of the 7th Tank Wing of the 1st Tank Squadron of 18 Type 94 ultralight tanks came out of range, Ichiro Kudo personally fired the first 37mm grenade.

Eighteen 37-mm tank guns then joined the bombardment of Taierzhuang.

Countless dark red bullet marks and meteors swept towards Taierzhuang, which was completely shrouded in gunsmoke and firelight.

At this time, the only thing the Reading Regiment could fight back was two machine guns.

In the duel with the Nakajima fighters, two of the four machine guns that had been replaced by three groups of shooters were destroyed, and the planes also paid the price of being shot down and wounded one each.

The commander of the air defense platoon, who was lying in a pool of blood and constantly twitching, was still trying his best to command, "Ammunition! ”

The last ten ammunition men who heard his order all rushed out of the anti-gun holes, holding bullet chains, and rushed to the bloody machine gun positions in a pool of blood.

With a muffled snort, an ammunition hand shook, a vicious 7.7 mm bullet passed through his chest at high speed, blood gushed out of the egg-sized blood hole in the opposite side, and after taking two steps towards the machine gun position with difficulty, the ammunition hand spat out the blood, and his unyielding body fell down with a bang, his eyes still staring fiercely at the Nakajima-style fighter raging in the sky.

After paying the price of another Nakajima fighter, the army finally destroyed the last two machine guns.

Twenty-one Type 97 heavy bombers entered one after another and began to bomb at low altitudes.

The officers and men lying in the air-raid shelters could only use their perseverance and luck to resist the ground-air joint bombardment of the former Chinese army.

However, due to the two anti-aircraft platoons blocking the attack at their own expense, a large amount of aviation fuel had been consumed, and only half of the Type 97 heavy bombers were forced to return home.

When the roar of the machine was far away, Wang Guanwu choked up and comforted Gao Fei, who had been silent: "Commander-in-chief, the blood of the brothers has not been shed in vain!" ”

The combined artillery bombardment of the Japanese army lasted another ten minutes.

"Kill and give!" Amid the howl of a young man, 600 officers and men of a brigade that had long been unable to hold bayonets rushed towards the burning Taierzhuang under the cover of four Type 94 ultralight tanks.

At 300 meters, 250 meters, and 200 meters, Luo Hanliang, commander of the fourth battalion, silently estimated the enemy's distance, and more than 300 officers and men of the first battalion, the first company, and the second company of the first trench held their breath and did not even dare to breathe.

There was an unbearable dead silence in the first trench before the smoke had cleared, a brief silence in the face of a great war.

At this moment, the roar of the diesel engine of the Type 94 ultralight tank and the howl of the officers and men clearly reached the ears of the officers and men.

When there was still 100 meters away, Lao Hei took a deep breath, and the Zhongzheng rifle in his hand was firmly aimed at a second lieutenant who kept waving a command knife behind the Type 94 ultralight tank, and gently hooked the machine.

"Bang!" With a crisp gunshot, a 7.9mm bullet accompanied by a flash of fire shot out of the muzzle of the central rifle.

The head of the second lieutenant who was howling immediately burst open like a battered tomato, a mist of blood splattered from the back of his head, the command knife in his hand fell weakly, and the body that had been killed in an instant fell to the ground like a stake.

The sound of gunfire was an order, and the first trench spat out tongues of fire of varying lengths, scarlet and orange.

In the first trench, Maxim heavy machine guns and Czech light machine guns rained down on the formation of the army.

In the rain of bullets, the four Type 94 ultralight tanks burst into starry sparks, and more bullets kicked up clouds of blood mist in the formation of the Japanese army, and one by one the officers and men fell to the ground screaming.

The officers and men who suffered the fierce blow did not have the slightest confusion and quickly lay down on the spot to launch a counterattack!
