Without the threat of the artillery of the army, the soldiers of the 99th Regiment broke out with strong combat effectiveness, although there was still the threat of the pillboxes of the army, but the soldiers of the 99th Regiment had their own methods. Before he came, Zhang Mingliang knew that the army had built a lot of bunkers outside Tianzhen City, and Zhang Mingliang knew better than anyone about the role of bunkers. As one of the first batch of officers to follow Han Yunhua, Zhang Mingliang participated in almost all the battles of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and the most impressive thing for him was the first three battles to defend Daqingshan.

At that time, Han Yunhua's army had not yet grown, and in comparison, the strength of the army in the Chahar region was much stronger than that of Han Yunhua's department. However, Han Yunhua relied on those inconspicuous bunker groups to block the Yue army at the foot of Daqing Mountain again and again, so that the Yue army returned again and again in vain.

What made Zhang Mingliang feel the most incredible was that in the second defense battle, Han Yunhua used less than 1,000 people to block the entire two wings of the Yue army at the foot of the mountain, no matter what means the Yue army used, in the end, even the poison gas bombs were used, but they still couldn't shake the defense of Han Yunhua's department.

According to the intelligence collected by the intelligence department this time, the army actually built a large number of pillboxes outside Tianzhen City, which made Zhang Mingliang, who was in charge of the main attack, feel very troublesome, so he specially summoned all the officers of the regiment to give advice. Not to mention, he really found a good way, a veteran who had been in the Kuomintang army for five years gave him an idea, the enemy's most powerful weapon in the bunker is the heavy machine gun, so as long as the lethality of the enemy's heavy machine gun is minimized, the pillboxes of the army will lose their effect.

Zhang Mingliang was right when he heard it, it was not easy to knock out those pillboxes, but it was not easy to reduce the lethality of heavy machine guns. Already in the first few battles, the commander found several ways to deal with the enemy's heavy machine guns.

Zhang Mingliang ordered the troops to collect a large number of shells of all the tanks, armored vehicles, combat vehicles, and scrapped cars in Jining City and brought them to the battlefield. He ordered his troops to attack according to the predetermined plan, and saw seventy or eighty "big shields" erected from the positions of the 99th Regiment, which were all pieced together from the shells of huge tanks or armored vehicles, and there were several unequal shooting holes on them. Four fighters carried a shield, and behind the shield were seven or eight machine gunners, ammunition men, and two heavy machine guns.

The Yue army was also stunned by the sudden situation, and did not know what the opposite Zhina army had come up with, coupled with the intermittent strong wind and sand, the Yue army actually thought that the [***] squadron had used some new weapons.

Now the army has no firepower to take advantage of, so they have to frantically use heavy machine guns to strafe, dozens of heavy machine guns firing at the same time is actually very shocking, but when encountering steel plates more than ten millimeters thick, it still seems that the firepower is weak. Although the armor of the tanks and fighting vehicles of the Japanese army is really amazingly thin, and sometimes even mortars can explode, it is not a problem at all to deal with heavy machine guns.

Under the cover of these big shields, the 99th Regiment advanced very quickly, and in less than half an hour after the start of the battle, the 99th Regiment advanced to a distance of less than 50 meters from the first line of defense of the Japanese army, but its own casualties were not large. The supreme commander of the East Gate position is called Nanfang Heavy Duty, and he is an infantry group leader with the rank of major lieutenant.

Obviously, he didn't expect the attack of the [***] team to be so sharp, the bunker carefully designed by the wing captain had no effect on the enemy, and seeing that the [***] team was about to rush into the position, but at this time, Shaozo, the important task in the south, had to ask for help from Takahashi Tundra, and Shaozo said this on the phone: "Moxi Moxi............ Your Excellency Wing Commander, the Chinese army has used a new weapon, our army's bunker group has met a nemesis, the Chinese army has attacked the first line of defense, the east gate position is crumbling, please come to the ............aid of Your Excellency the Wing Commander"

Shaozuo's call for help obviously startled Takahashi Tundra Daisa, and it was only a long time before a well-arranged defensive line was crumbling, and it was worth it. But he didn't have a lot of reserves in his hands, and the vast majority of them were the Imperial Army. It's okay for these Imperial Allied Army to bully and bully the common people of China in peacetime, but it is far from good if they deal with the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army, and they are more or less delivering food.

Moreover, some time ago, the senior agents of the special high-tech department risked their lives to send back a news, that is, more than 65% of the troops of Han Yunhua's department were from captured prisoners of the Imperial Army. This news caused an uproar in the entire North China Front, and this is worth it, doesn't that mean that the Imperial Army is raising troops for the enemy?

However, without these Imperial Cooperative Army, the Imperial Army will encounter walls everywhere on the land of China, and the security of the occupied areas also needs these Imperial Cooperative Army to maintain, so the formation of the Imperial Cooperative Army is a necessary thing. This has become a difficult situation to solve, these imperial alliance troops can only fight a tailwind battle, once the war is not good, these spineless guys will surrender as a system. The two-faced surname of the Imperial Association Army made the army very embarrassed, and he was entangled in whether to use it or not.

However, in order to quickly consolidate the occupied area, General Binshan Yuan still ordered the troops to use the Imperial Allied Army, but when it was not necessary, not to let these guys who had not achieved enough things and more than enough to defeat go to the battlefield, and only let them maintain law and order in the occupied area.

But when the battle came to this point, Takahashi Tundra could no longer treat the more than 4,000 Imperial Allied troops in his hands as air, no matter how it was said that it was more than 4,000 people, as long as the supervision was good, these 4,000 people could resist for a while. Besides, Takahashi Tundra reported to Datong as soon as Tianzhen was attacked, and I think that reinforcements are already ready over there. As long as the war here is not going well, you can ask Datong for help at any time, but Takahashi Tundra feels that he doesn't need to ask Datong for combat guidance for the time being, after all, it has only been a long time since the war started. If he asks for help now, even if Tianzhen County is saved, then his reputation will be ruined in the end.

Moreover, Takahashi Tundra and his troops are now on the blacklist of the North China Front, and it is very likely that he, the wing commander, will be taken out if he is not good, so Takahashi Tundra does not dare to take this risk. In addition, Takahashi Tundra is still very confident in his bunker group, and he doesn't think that the [***] team can take the East Gate position in less than an hour.

However, for the sake of safety, Takahashi Tundra Osa still ordered the gendarmerie to "hold" those imperial troops to support the East Gate position. The vicious Takahashi Tundra ordered all the puppet soldiers to wear the uniforms of the Japanese army, and the weapons were all guns that had been eliminated by the Japanese army. Takahashi Tundra knew that the army on the other side would not give the Imperial Army any chance, and he would never leave him alive.

Not to mention, this method of Takahashi Tundra really worked, as soon as the puppet army entered the position, it was fiercely attacked by the 99th Regiment, and at this time, the remaining troops of the 77th Division of Reading Force also arrived, especially the arrival of the artillery battalion and the fire support regiment made the 99th Regiment like a tiger. Under Chen Geng's order, the fire support regiment and the artillery regiment were all put into battle.

For a time, the position of the Japanese army was full of explosive fire, and ten minutes later, in addition to those strong pillboxes, there were only a few scattered shots from the east gate position. Zhang Mingliang knew that the devil was not dead yet, and a rash charge was likely to cause huge casualties to the troops, so he commanded the attacking troops on the front line to continue to advance thirty meters. At the same time, Zhang Mingliang asked the fire support regiment to cover the attack of the 99th regiment.

Zhang Mingming's request was supported by Chen Geng, and suddenly hundreds of light and heavy machine guns of the fire support regiment opened fire at the same time, and only a few members of the Jinsui Army Observation Group were stunned by that formation, and a question arose in their hearts at the same time: Is this still a dirt road with poor weapons and equipment? Is this still the Eighth Route Army, where each soldier is only given five magic ammunition?

Originally, the front-line commander of the army saw that the heavy machine guns were useless against those mysterious new weapons, and coupled with the non-stop shelling of the [***] squadron, the defenders suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, he ordered the troops to suspend the return fire and wait until they were closer to fight, and at the same time prepared to let those Imperial Allied troops carry explosive packs on their backs to blow up the new weapons that the [***] team already had few in the middle of the army.

However, Shaozo's wishful thinking was soon shattered. The difficulty of the [***] squadron was far beyond his expectations, and when the squadron approached a distance of less than 30 meters from the position of the Yue army, the grenades flew towards the position of the Yue army. The [***] team that followed behind the big shield threw the grenade in their hands as fast as possible, and the difference from the shell was that at such a close distance, the lethality of the grenade and the accurate surname of the landing point were quite high, and the soldiers placed in the first line of defense finally collapsed under the blow of this round of grenades.

Seeing the devils who were swarming out and fleeing to the rear defense line, Zhang Mingliang ordered the troops to launch a group charge and rush up to entangle these devils, and the pillboxes of the army were completely useless. If this is the case, when the soldiers on both sides are entangled, the devils in the bunker are also confused, and they don't know whether to shoot or not, and the probability of hitting their own people at such a close distance is almost equal to the probability of hitting the enemy.

However, Zhang Mingliang still underestimated the cruelty of the Yue Army, which can only be shown by treating the Chinese people, but also treating his own people without a surname. Seeing that the [***] team was about to break through the position, the power of the pillbox group dropped to the extreme. The commander of the army ordered all the firing points to open fire on the entangled crowd, without caring about the lives of those soldiers.

From a purely military point of view, this is undoubtedly very correct, and at this time, when the decision is constantly being reversed, a decisive sacrifice of a part may be able to save the whole. But in terms of morale and other aspects, this kind of behavior of the Yue army is really frightening, and seeing the Yue army dying under the guns of their own people one by one, Chen Geng, Zhang Mingliang and others are all shocked.
