Chapter 20, The Third Line of Defense of the Japanese Army

Under cover, the Japanese finally rushed to their side, and they were greeted by marbles from shotguns.

These Japanese soldiers who had not had time to react were pushed far away by the bullets of this big troll, although they were shocked by the power of the shotgun, but the Japanese army was not timid, because they knew that once they got into the other side, they would win. In terms of assassination, the Japanese army had great confidence, and the bayonet had a three-eight cover with a length of one meter and four meters, just like a short gun (the gun of the red tassel gun), one inch long and one inch stronger.

However, will Lu Qiang's team fight with them for bayonets? As early as the time of training, they had clear close training, their 81 bars are not bayonets, they obviously have the advantage of weapons, who fights with devils bayonets. The close-quarters artifact shotgun, the close-range 81 bars are the same as submachine guns, and each person is also equipped with a pistol, such a luxurious configuration, **** will fight with the devil with a bayonet, and it is not excluded that some people have a hot brain, carrying an engineer shovel and hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, these guys were stabbed to death by the Japanese army without exception.

Except for these guys who are looking for death, the others are still trained and resolutely do not fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese army.

"Bring!" Lu Qiang, who was in the rear, said suddenly. He suddenly had a whim, like a few shots to play, but suddenly it occurred to him that his special sniper had been lost in the command headquarters.

"What do you want to do, boss?" Zhang Guohua looked vigilant.

"Fight devils, it's okay anyway, this is far away, and the devils can't find me." Lu Qiang said.

"No way!" Zhang Guohua refused with a face, for the boss to find death from time to time, they have nothing to do with their subordinates, they can only do their best to prevent the boss from looking for, no, it is looking for death.

"Really? I'm right here, and I can't go ahead. Lu Qiang asked.

"No way!" Zhang Guohua resolutely and affirmatively refused. The monkey has already explained, you must be optimistic about the boss, because the boss sometimes has a sudden convulsion in his brain and does something abnormal.

"Okay!" The request was refused, Lu Qiang looked unwilling, and looked at the special combat team staring at him vigilantly. I had to obediently stay here and watch the battlefield in front of me, not looking for death.

On the battlefield, even if the third line of defense is very erosive, with heavy casualties, and is about to be broken, the heavy artillery that the Japanese army hid in Lu'an is also resolutely not used. These cannons will definitely not be saved, so these must be saved for use in a pinch, as for why the delay is delayed, because he has a plan, as for what the plan will know later.

Matsui Ishine didn't know that Lu Qiang was fighting Lu'an for the purpose of training, and after the third line of defense was defeated, the troops would be withdrawn, and the Japanese army didn't have to care about the third line of defense at all. Just throw it to Lu Qiang. It's a pity that Matsui Shigen didn't know that he had been made upset by Lu Qiang.

"Boom!" After a shell erupted. Flying to the Japanese pillbox in the distance, it penetrated in an instant, and the explosion completely collapsed the pillbox, and the Japanese soldiers inside were already gone. I don't know what the Japanese army had in mind to build the anti-tank cone behind the third line of defense, but it didn't matter anymore, the Japanese army in the third line of defense was cleaned up, and half of the task of the attacking troops was completed. It's time for them to vomit, and they are no better than the 1st regiment in the morning, and they vomit darkly.

The other teams also found out that something was wrong, why did they vomit like this on the battlefield last time, the first regiment in the morning, and the second regiment in the afternoon, why is this? They don't know, because Lu Qiang ordered the news to be blocked, let them guess for themselves. lest after telling them, they will be cranky and reduce their combat effectiveness.

The first day passed like this, the first three lines of defense of the Japanese army were directly chiseled through, not counting the puppet army, the Japanese army lost seven or eight thousand people, Lu Qiang's recruits, lost more than 400 people, and lost more in the afternoon, the Japanese army fought fiercely, and the recruits' combat consciousness was still too poor, and this could only be realized by themselves.

At noon, they also ridiculed each other for wasting meat, and at dinner they were no better, eating and spitting, today is destined to be an unforgettable day for many people.

At night, Matsui Ishone did not send troops to sneak attack, he guessed that the other party had something that could make people see at night as well as during the day, of course, this was only his guess, after all, he had not captured anything yet. Besides, the other party fired flares all night, and they didn't have a chance to sneak attack, since they couldn't attack at night, Matsui Ishine wouldn't be stupid enough to send someone to death.

The two infantry regiments with broken eyes have nothing to do with them for the time being, and the sacrificed soldiers will select some people from among them to escort back to Dawang Village, and they must ensure that they will not be deserters, this battle has a great impact on them, and it is inevitable that some people will not want to be deserters.

Early the next morning, the heavy artillery roared, and the target was the anti-tank cones, which were poured out of cement and were unusually strong, and the Japanese had built quite a few.

"It's not a small stroke." Lu Qiang looked at a large number of anti-tank cones, and was a little surprised by the handiwork of the Japanese army, it stands to reason that the Japanese army like these buckles and cables got so much cement to build anti-tank cones.

As far as Lu Qiang can see, these anti-tank cones stretch for more than ten miles, and are more than 200 meters wide, and the average height of each anti-tank cone is one meter, and no tank can pass it, and so many anti-tank cones cannot be repaired in a few days, even if they find more people, it will take several months to repair them.

"The little devil is ruthless, but it doesn't matter, look at how my cannon blew them all up."

The B-4 heavy hammer howitzer roared, the shells flew from the distant sky, fell into the anti-tank cone group, and then released a huge kinetic energy, and the explosion immediately destroyed all the anti-tank cones, but the scope of the impact was not large, and all the anti-tank cones in the center of the pit with a diameter of more than ten meters were blown up, and the cement piers rolled around, and outside the center of the explosion, the anti-tank cone received a small impact.

Covered by artillery fire, and when the smoke cleared, the effect was not ideal, and there were many anti-tank cones, only the anti-tank cones in the crater were all gone. "It's not very good." Lu Qiang held the binoculars and looked at the devastated anti-tank cone.

"Let the artillery blow up for another half an hour and raze it all." Lu Qiang's face changed, and he said coldly, but the coldness lasted for less than three seconds before it disappeared, and the expression of the little ruffian hung on his face again. "Hmph, do you really think that the little devil can stop my tank army with anti-tank cones alone? It's naïve. ”

The half-hour artillery bombardment soon ended, and the Japanese once again witnessed the power of large-caliber heavy artillery, and had some doubts in their hearts about whether the rebuilt Lu'an city wall could block the opponent's artillery, but this doubt was instantly abandoned by them, and the empire would never fail. Well, that's how they console themselves.

Another half an hour of shelling, thousands of rounds of 203mm shells, there was ploughing and plowing, and the anti-tank cones had long been blown into powder.

"The 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 254th Division, the 2nd Armored Regiment, offensive."

This time the infantry did not run to the front combat zone on their legs, but sat on 59, took some roads, jumped off the tank when they were close to the anti-tank cone, and two kilometers further on, it was the fourth line of defense of the Japanese army, the outer defense line of Lu'an, which was still one kilometer away from Lu'an.

There were obviously more fortifications of the fourth line of defense, bright forts, dark forts, barbed wire, all obstacles in front of the defense line were cleared and empty, and the field of vision was very open, without any shelter and bunkers.

Before the team attacked, the artillery ploughed the side of the Japanese troops on the fourth line of defense, and all the pillboxes were bombed and sat on earthen planes, and the Japanese troops inside were naturally self-evident.

Artillery is worthy of being the god of war, and when it was blown up, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, and the originally impregnable position became a mess, full of loopholes.

As usual, the tanks drove in front, and the infantry followed closely. When there were still 500 meters from the Japanese position, suddenly there was an explosion on the ground, the tracks of a tank were blown off, and the infantry following the tank also suffered injuries of varying degrees.

"The devils planted anti-tank mines." Some of the fighters behind the tank immediately judged it and shouted loudly, and at the same time passed it on to the crew in the tank.

"Anti-tank mines were actually planted, machine gun minesweepers." Now there are no minesweepers, only this emergency method. The coaxial machine guns fired at the ground, only in front of their respective tanks.

The coaxial machine gun carries 2,000 rounds of bullets, and there is a distance of 500 meters, which is not enough at all, on average, 1 meter can only shoot four rounds, what is this, it is better not to fight, but it is not good not to fight, you can only go one step forward and count one step.

"Bang!" With another sound, the tracks of a tank broke, and it had to stop in place and act as a stationary battery.

"The devil used an anti-tank mine,, I forgot about it." After receiving the telegram from the front, Lu Qiang was also surprised, he didn't expect the Japanese army to lay out anti-tank mines at all, and the success all the way has made him a little carried away and forgot some common sense.

This incident reminded him that 59 can't just go out like this, at least a minesweeping device must be added in front, if the front is possible, Lu Qiang doesn't mind welding a steel plate on it, just like Super Pershing. The Japanese army has already created a "spear" capable of penetrating 59 fronts, so the "shield" will also be upgraded.

There are not many anti-tank mines deployed by the Japanese army, or the scattered area is too wide, resulting in too sparse, but it also made 7 59 hits, and the broken tracks were parked in place, and the crew of the car, Lu Qiang, ordered them to leave the tank, after all, these tanks with broken tracks are the best targets. The infantry, which followed behind the tanks, also suffered casualties of varying severity, four were hit by fragments of the explosion and died on the spot, seven were seriously injured, two of them were unconscious, nineteen were slightly injured, and the wounds of six of them did not prevent the battle.
