The Type 95 light tank of the Yue army was indeed the most outstanding among the combat vehicles designed and manufactured for mass production, and because of the considerable shortage of resources, it mainly relied on scrap steel purchased with a large loan from the United States to support the consumption of the war.

For Yue himself, who regarded submachine guns as a luxury item of ordnance, letting them make the kind of chariots that were often 30 or 50 tons or even heavier than the European, American and Soviet Unions, could simply kill him, and the comprehensive surname of the Type 95 tank of the Yue Army was indeed good, but in the face of German-made 37-mm anti-tank guns and 20-mm anti-tank rifles, the Type 95 tank was still a thin iron canned after all.

When the mixed attack team of the Yue army entered 200 meters, as a row of flares from the forward position was lifted into the air, a miserable white light shone on the ground, which caught the attacking troops of the Yue army by surprise, and the artillery group on Niushou Mountain and the anti-tank gun positions on the mountainside began to shell the Yue army.

In the roaring explosion, the stumps and severed arms of the soldiers flew into the sky, and the concentrated Type 95 light chariots rushed diagonally into the infantry with flames and habitual surnames.

The Yue army, which was blocked by artillery, began to speed up its attack, and the Type 95 light chariots also rushed to the Chinese defenders' positions at the foot of the mountain like wild horses, because the charioteers of the Yue army knew very well that if they still covered the infantry advance at a low speed, I am afraid that within 50 meters, all the chariots would be destroyed, because there were at least dozens of anti-chariot gun emplacements on the opposite mountainside.

The army following behind the chariot had just lost cover, and under the double damage of artillery fire and the defenders' heavy machine guns, they fell to the ground one by one like cutting wheat, and the officers of the army wielding command knives were trying their best to maintain the offensive formation, because they knew that once this attack failed, it would be equivalent to giving the [***] opportunity to adjust the deployment, and the fierce artillery fire that lasted for half an hour before was completely ineffective.

Although the cavalry of the attacking army accelerated at an accelerated speed, in the face of the dense anti-tank firepower, the cavalry of the cavalry was still hit and penetrated one by one, just like the air lighter Zero, and the 95-type chariot of the army also seemed to be particularly willing to catch fire? Almost every Type 95 chariot that was hit caught caught fire and burned, and occasionally a charioteer covered in fire crawled out of the chariot and rolled on the ground screaming until it was hit by a bullet.

In less than 10 minutes, after five rounds of flares, all the 22 Type 95 chariots under the Nojima Brigade became burning bonfires, and the officers and men of the Yue Dynasty passing by the burning chariots also became obvious targets, and some soldiers were constantly hit and fell to the ground, and the tactics of the Yue army using chariots to guide the infantry to attack were also practiced and coordinated to a certain extent, but in the various training plans of the Yue army, there was no situation in which all of its own chariots were destroyed.

Shinji Fukuda was also stunned by the sight in front of him, although he repeatedly warned himself not to despise the troops of the Rehe Legion in the special location of the Central [***], and there was information that the defense of Niushou Mountain was the defense of one brigade of the troops transferred to Nanjing by the Rehe Legion, and in the direction of General Mountain, there were at least two well-equipped medium [***] brigades in the defense.

The fierce fire projection density of the Rehe Corps stunned Fukuda Shinji, the two infantry brigades he invested were completely exposed to the fire of the middle [***], and the retreat route of the troops had been completely blocked by the opponent's mountain artillery fire, and there were at least thirty or more heavy machine gun fire points on the middle [***] circular position at the foot of Niushou Mountain, of which the intermittent light machine guns were not counted.

"Eight Tooth Road!" Shinji Fukuda turned around and glanced at Major General Sasaki, the commander of the 30th Infantry Brigade with a solemn expression not far away, and Sasaki stood there motionless with a cold face and expressionless, as if it was not his troops who were slaughtered by the fire of the Chinese defenders.

Shinji Fukuda took out his katana and took a deep breath and said: "The samurai of the Great Empire, the honor of the 33rd Infantry Wing was won by the old-timers during the Russian War, and the time has come to sacrifice ourselves for His Majesty the Emperor!" Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Empire! Come on! ”

"Fukuda-kun, please calm down!" Sasaki, who was coldly linked, glared at Shinji Fukuda and continued in a cold voice: "You are wasting the lives of your soldiers, we, as commanders, have dedicated ourselves to this great holy war, and we have already made up our minds to dedicate ourselves to His Majesty the Emperor, but we must also sacrifice worthwhile, do you let your soldiers break through the fire blockade of [***]?" Yaga! ”

Shinji Fukuda consciously inserted the katana back into the scabbard, and Sasaki said coldly: "I will ask the division again for artillery support in a while, and after the artillery fire, the 38th Wing will also be fully engaged in the attack, with a brigade as an attack wave, once the attack begins, it will launch a continuous attack with the determination to dedicate himself to His Majesty the Emperor, and the troops that have been defeated and retreated will be reorganized and continue to attack, His Excellency the division commander has made a promise to His Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya that the main peak of Mt. Niushou will be captured before dawn, Now His Excellency Munetake Yamuro of the 11th Division is directing troops to attack the fortress of Shogunyama, and we cannot let the 11th Division lead us, otherwise our 16th Division will lose face. ”

Nakajima Imago waited for the news of the failure of the 30th Infantry Brigade to attack Niushou Mountain for the first time, and the furious Nakajima Imago scolded Sasaki on the phone, as if the 30th Infantry Brigade had dug up his ancestral grave by mistake.

The defeat of the first attack also made Nakajima Imago calm down a little from the frenzied excitement, you must know that Sasaki to Ichi is a very steady guy, but at this critical juncture, what he needs is not steady, but a rapid and explosive attack, which makes Naka[***] extremely frightened attack, so that the enemy army is scattered!

Nakajima decided to send the 16th Field Artillery Wing to the front line, strengthen the attack firepower by means of artillery support, and put the 19th Infantry Brigade and the 9th Infantry Wing and the 20th Infantry Wing under the command of Major General Tatsumi Kusaba into a general attack on Niushou Mountain.

Soon, the heavy artillery assigned to the 16th Division was transferred to the position and then shelled Niushou Mountain again, Sun Guiming stood in front of the artillery mirror and looked at the forward position and the mountainside position covered by a piece of artillery fire.

Sure enough, after the shelling, the heavy overlapping figures of the Yue army broke through the darkness and shouted and rushed to the defenders' positions, and for a time the light and heavy machine guns on the defenders' positions began to fire fiercely, and the long muzzle flames of the Maxine heavy machine guns also exposed their firing positions, so they were almost attacked by the fire of the field artillery, and one after another the supporting fire points were overturned by the artillery fire of the Yue army.

The Type 92 infantry cannon belonging to the infantry of the Yue Army can be regarded as a sharp weapon in the offensive of the infantry of the Yue Army, like a grenadier canister, which is said to be supernatural by the military, and the Type 92 infantry gun is a typical tube-retreat combined frame retreat artillery, just like a crooked handle and a Type 92 heavy machine gun, and many of my weapon design ideas are very incredible.

Although the design of the Type 92 infantry gun is relatively old, its unique low trajectory and low muzzle velocity, coupled with the very light weight of the gun, enable it to be quickly deployed and transfer the launch position, its low trajectory and low muzzle velocity make it difficult to be detected, almost every infantry brigade of the army has an infantry squad equipped with four Type 92 infantry guns, and each field artillery wing has a Type 92 infantry artillery squadron.

The 92-type infantry artillery of the army has never been used in a centralized manner, but the use of single-artillery deployment cold artillery tactics, so the position of the 92 infantry artillery is difficult to be discovered, the infantry often say that one dies one, compared to the death of the artillery, the survivability of the 92-type infantry gun is higher, and the eight-millimeter oblique angle guard plate equipped with it can resist ordinary machine foot bullets, and the 92-type infantry gun of the Yue army, which followed the infantry of the army to advance and shoot, brought a fatal blow to the heavy machine gun fire point of the defenders of the Fifth Brigade at the front.

If it is replaced by an ordinary [***] unit, I am afraid that it will be helpless against it, and can only passively transfer the firing position, but how easy is it to interrupt the fire of the heavy machine gun to implement the transfer? Moreover, there are not many positions suitable for flanking fire of heavy machine guns on the front plane, and heavy machine guns are generally located on the flanks of the positions rather than on the front in real combat.

However, the Fifth Brigade is the unit of the Rehe Army, and Zhang Xuewu attaches the most importance to the construction of artillery units, and the Fifth Brigade has two artillery groups each with 18 75-mm imitation Krupp mountain guns, and also has the fire support of the 100-5 mm howitzer group in the direction of Jiangjun Mountain, and the fire support and cover of the heavy artillery group from Jiangbei.

Isn't the Type 92 infantry gun difficult to spot? As long as the firing point of our troops in that area is destroyed by the artillery fire of the Japanese army, then a fierce artillery bombardment will be carried out on this area, or if it is suspected that there may be a certain area of the 92 infantry guns of the Japanese army, the 105-mm artillery group of the General Mountain will be summoned to cover the fire.

Although the heavy artillery firepower of the Yue army is very fierce, it can not last, because the barrel of the 38 type heavy howitzer equipped with the army is very easy to overheat, once overheated, it will lead to a reduction in firing range and accuracy, and the most serious thing is that the life of the gun barrel will be greatly reduced.
