"Boom!" With a loud bang, the devil's tank was enveloped in smoke, and the metal tracks rattled and broke in two. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Anti-tank mines?! The devils who were hit were a little flustered, not because of the number of casualties, but because the tank was destroyed, which surprised the devils. Although tanks are not invincible, when fighting against the Chinese* army, it always costs a lot of lives of Chinese* servicemen to blow up this steel monster.

After a little hesitation and hesitation, the devil's tank started again, retaliating with a denser burst of bullets, and the tank gun also spat out flames, firing shells at the opponent's position.

"Boom!" Another tank was paralyzed in the flames of the explosion, and even the fuel tank was in flames. As soon as the top cover of the tank was opened, the tanker came out, half of his body was still in the tank, and a string of bullets suddenly flew in, and the guy seemed to have been shocked and fell back down.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese puppet army was Masao Yamashima, the commander of the 6th Wing of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division.

Naturally, the cannon fodder unit -- the puppet army, the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion of Li Boying's 14th Division, rushed out from behind the tanks and launched an attack shouting under the cover of tanks and machine guns.

200 meters, 100 meters, 80 meters...... With a muffled sound, puffs of white smoke rose from the defenders' positions, and more than a dozen 60 mortar shells smashed down on their heads.

The flames of the explosions came and went, and the earth, snow and dust flew up, mixed with deadly, flying shrapnel, and the charging team of the puppet army was immediately blown to pieces. In the flying flesh and blood, screams and wails are endless, and from time to time you can see stumps and broken arms flying in the air.

Under the cover of smoke and dust from the rapid artillery fire, the defenders emerged from the trenches, and light and heavy weapons opened fire in unison, and a dense rain of bullets rained down on the enemy.

Blood splattered, and corpses fell to the ground. Rushing through the area of artillery bombardment, the puppet soldiers were again strafed by heavy crossfire, suffering heavy casualties, and retreated in disarray. Artillery and machine guns mercilessly pursued the retreating enemy, turning these scum among the Chinese into ugly, cold corpses.

The first tentative attack ended, and soon the Japanese launched a second attack under the cover of tanks parked more than 300 meters in front of their positions.

More enemies gathered behind the tanks lined up, and amid the roar of tank guns and the noise of machine guns, they were waiting for orders from above, ready for the next charge.

The time has come. The regiment commander Qin Hanqing observed clearly and immediately issued an order to the artillery in accordance with the pre-war drill plan.

More than a dozen 82 mortars were set up in concealment two kilometers behind the forward position, and the red flag was waved down, and they immediately launched a fierce bombardment of the area behind the tanks in the form of three rapid shots.

Under the horrified gaze of Masao Yamashima, dozens of mortar shells fell on the rear of the tank in more than 10 seconds, and in the sound of explosions one after another, the Japanese puppet army, which was very dense, was blown up on their backs and suffered heavy casualties.

This was the first time that the artillery of the New Seventh Army used air-bombed shells to attack the enemy, and although there was a thin layer of snow, the ground was hard, and the effect of use was not greatly affected.

In the frightened gaze of the Japanese puppet army, the shells fell and jumped, bursting out with dazzling flashes in the air, and in the loud noise, shrapnel **** flew quickly, sweeping all creatures on the ground. The air-blasted shells were mixed with ordinary shells, which exploded on the ground and kicked up dirt and snow chips, throwing stumps and broken arms and gun parts into the air.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the screams and wails were incessant, and it took a long time for the chaos caused by the rapid artillery attack to stop.

The devil's artillery quickly calculated the yuan, adjusted the muzzle, and carried out a covering bombardment towards the opponent's artillery position. But their shells only landed on the empty land, and the artillerymen of the New Seventh Army with mortars had already hidden in underground shelters.

Tunnels and underground shelters have been popularized in the base areas and in the army, and those of military operational significance are to be carried out by engineering units. Although the tunnel has requirements for soil quality, it is not impossible to solve it. Support while digging, repair more drainage facilities, and even reinforce with reinforced concrete.

Of course, for now, reinforced concrete is precious and cannot be used in large quantities, but the civil fortifications are cleverly built and very useful.

The retaliation of artillery fire did not work, and the enemy temporarily retreated. Under the fierce fire of the defenders' machine guns and rifles, the corpses of many devils were left in front of the position, and no one paid attention to the puppet army.

The battlefield fell silent, and Li Zengyin, commander of the Third Regiment of the Eighth Cavalry Division, put down his binoculars and sighed in his heart. As a new garrison unit, although it was already familiar with the position, this first battle was still given to the First Regiment of the Independent Brigade of the New Seventh Army. The three regiments were both to observe and learn, and then they, as reserves, would be responsible for reinforcing the main positions and guarding against the detours of the enemy's flank.

And Yang Tianfeng dared to put a group in Longkang, so he naturally had his confidence. The artillery was strengthened, the commander was experienced, and the troops were tried-and-tested.

"Captain Li." A call not far away interrupted Li Zengyin's emotion and thoughts, and when he turned his head, it was Lu Peng, the head of the regiment, and his old partner Gao Rongli walking over.

"Commander Lu, Chief of Staff Gao-" Li Zengyin hurriedly greeted him and nodded again and again, "You guys fought really well!" ”

"It's been a prize, it's been a prize." Lu Peng waved his hand to show his modesty, but the look on his face couldn't hide his smugness.

"The longer we prepare, the more we do." Gao Rongli, the chief of staff, smiled and said: "The devil is frustrated head-on, and most of them have to use the old trick - a roundabout attack!" ”

Li Zengyin nodded and said, "Please give an order, the third regiment will not let the devil's tricks succeed." ”

"What order is not ordered, Commander Li is too polite." Gao Rongli beckoned, and the staff officer behind him came up to open the map.

Lu Peng saw Gao Rongli stretching out his hand to him, smiled, stepped forward and pointed: "This is the Vortex River, this is Longkang Town, if the enemy wants to attack in a roundabout way, it can only be Guanmiao in the north." There is a company defending there, and in order to be sure, I would like to ask your regiment to send a battalion to reinforce the place. ”

"No problem." Li Zengyin agreed very simply, and said: "Is the frontal defense also able to let our department bear a part, this is a bit unreasonable just looking at it!" ”

Lu Peng looked at Gao Rongli, and after receiving an affirmative response, he handed over the section of the main position to the south to Li Tuan. This section of the territory is not wide, and two companies are more than enough to defend. Gao Rongli was more careful, and sent a few petty officers who were more familiar with the terrain and fortifications to assist Li Tuan. (To be continued.) )
