To the east of Guisui, more than 100 155-mm howitzers of the heavy artillery division kept roaring, tilting shells at the positions of the little devils in the distance.

More than 100 Type 39 tanks and more than 200 Type 39 armored personnel carriers of the 1st and 2nd Tank Regiments of the Armored Division were rumbling towards the defensive positions of the little devils like a torrent of steel.

The heavy artillery division's half-hour shelling did not stop for long, and the 26th Division of the little devils, which had been bombarded by 100 heavy artillery pieces for half an hour, had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief, when a small number of Chinese tanks were spotted two or three kilometers away, heading towards the little devils' positions.

A little devil who first discovered the situation couldn't believe his eyes at first, thinking that he was wrong, because the Type 39 tank and Type 39 armored personnel carrier were all camouflage paint, and under the cover of woods and bushes, it was not very obvious, not to mention that this little devil did not have a telescope, just by the naked eye.

But this little devil looked at it hard, and after confirming it again and again, he immediately ran anxiously to the nearest little devil Shaozuo, and said a little frightened: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, there seems to be a large number of chariots of the [***] team in front. ”

After speaking, the little devil was worried that the little devil Shaozuo couldn't figure out the direction, and pointed to the distance with his finger and found the direction of the tank of the [***] team. This little devil Shaozo hurriedly picked up his binoculars and looked carefully, the more he looked, the more frightened this little devil Shaozo became.

The little devil Shaozuo looked at it for less than a minute, and found that the situation was urgent, so he immediately ran anxiously to a large pillbox next to it, which was not only a large fortification, but also the headquarters of a small devil infantry squadron, and there was a telephone line in it.

Although this bunker is also a cement fortification, under the fierce shelling just now, there are cracks in several places, and a corner on the right side has collapsed.

This anxious little devil Shaozuo picked up the phone in the bunker and shook it vigorously himself, trying to connect the phone of the division headquarters, but after shaking it several times, there was no response to this phone, and the little devil Shaozuo was furious and yelled at several little devil communication soldiers: "What's the matter, why can't the phone get through." ”

A little devil communication soldier immediately stood up and said cautiously: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, in the fierce shelling of the squadron [***] just now, our telephone line was blown up, and it has not been connected for the time being. ”

"Baga", the little devil squadron leader was very angry, then turned around and walked out of the bunker, and said to the little devil outside: "Hurry up and fire the gun, everyone is ready for battle." As a few little devils released their guns at the sky, many little devils saw the Chinese chariot rumbling in the distance.

In front of the little devil's defensive position, most of the trees were cut down, cut down these trees, the original intention of the little devil was not to attack the middle [***] team used the cover of these trees to get close to their own defensive position, and the little devil defended the infantry of the middle [***] team.

The little devil didn't know before that Zhang Yunfei's 36th Group Army was equipped with so many tanks and armored vehicles, so the fortifications built by the little devil were mainly used to defend the infantry of the [***] team, and he never considered using them to defend the tanks of the [***] team.

There were basically no tall trees in front of the little devil's position, which was convenient for the 39th type tanks and the 39th division's armored personnel carriers to aim, and when the combat vehicles of the two tank regiments of the armored division entered the little devil's position less than a thousand meters in front of them, some tanks and armored vehicles began to aim at some of the little devil's pillboxes in the distance.

However, due to the fact that the tank hits the little devil position is a back attack, because of the angle of shooting, many of the little devil's fortifications exceed the maximum elevation angle of the tank, and they can't hit it for the time being, but for those little devil fortifications that can be hit, the attacking tanks and armored vehicles began to shoot.

I saw a Type 39 tank, aiming at a small devil bunker on the mountainside in front, this bunker was not hit in the front shelling, although it was only a small bunker, and the firing holes were only two, but this tank did not intend to let go of this small bunker.

The shooter of this tank took a careful aim, and then opened fire decisively, only to see a bang, and the little devil's bunker in the distance was blown away.

The 30 mm cannon on the Type 39 armored personnel carrier has a larger firing angle than the Type 39 tank, and many little devil bunkers can hit it, but the 30 mm cannon is still a little less powerful than the little devil cement structure bunker, so the shooter on the armored personnel carrier is a 30 mm cannon and shoots at some outcropping little devils in the front little devil fortifications.

At this time, the 30mm cannon on the armored car basically used high-explosive shells, and the shells hit those outcropping little devils, and the upper half of these little devils were blown up, even if they did not hit the little devils, as long as they exploded next to the little devils, they also had a certain lethality.

More than 200 armored personnel carriers, nearly half of the vehicles began to shoot at this time, and in less than a few minutes, they caused a lot of casualties to the little devils, and the little devils saw that the firepower of the [***] team was so fierce, and the little devils in the trenches immediately cowered in the trenches and did not dare to show their heads.

Some of the little devil's bunkers began to shoot at the tanks of the [***] team, but at this time, the tanks of the [***] team were seven or eight hundred meters away from the nearest little devil's bunker, and it was difficult for the little devils' machine guns to hit such a distant target, even if they hit the tanks of these armored divisions, it was basically ineffective.

The frantic shooting of the machine guns in the little devil's bunker can only be regarded as a bluff. The shooter of an armored personnel carrier saw that the shooting holes of several little devil bunkers in the distance were constantly spraying out dense bullets, and he was very happy, and the shooter calmly aimed at the shooting holes of a small devil bunker in the distance, and shot at the little devils.

The distance of seven or eight hundred meters is completely normal for a 30-mm cannon, and the 30-mm cannons on the armored personnel carrier are equipped with optical sights, although it is difficult to hit the firing hole of a small devil bunker seven or eight hundred meters away, which is only one foot square, but the shooter of this armored personnel carrier still wants to try it.

After aiming for a few seconds, the shooter calmly began to shoot, the "Burst, Burst, Burst" 30mm cannon fired several shells, but they were a little out of the shooting hole, but the soldier was not discouraged, adjusted slightly, and began to shoot again, this time the shooting was much better than the last time, although there were also a few shells outside the pillbox, but there were still two or three shells hit the shooting hole in the distance, and exploded in the little devil bunker, it is estimated that several little devils in the bunker were all killed.

Many Type 39 tanks, seeing that the Type 39 armored personnel carrier shot so highly, many tankmen opened the hatch on the top of the tank, showed their heads, and slammed the 12.7mm machine gun on the top of the tank, and fired a fierce shot at the little devils on the mountain.

With the passage of time, many tanks have reached the foot of the mountain where the little devils have built fortifications, and many tanks and armored vehicles have begun to drive up the mountain, but fortunately, most of these slopes are quite gentle, and the little devils have not dug anti-tank trenches, and the Type 39 tanks and armored vehicles have a strong ability to climb hills, so the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored division began to slowly drive up the mountain.

On a slightly taller hill, the division commander of the 26th Division of the Little Devil Regiment was standing in the trench, carefully watching the battle situation in front.

The hands holding the binoculars trembled slightly, the head of the little devil division was very uncalm in his heart, his heart was uncomfortable and a little powerless, the number of tanks of the [***] team was too much, even if it was one of his own field divisions, it was estimated that it would be difficult to block the attack of the [***] team.

The commander of the little devil division looked at it for a while, and then said weakly to a little devil communication soldier next to him: "Hurry up and send a report to Your Excellency the commander, a large-scale armored cluster has appeared in front of the position of our division, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of Chinese combat vehicles, it is difficult for us to resist the attack of the [***] team, and ask the soldiers for guidance." ”

At this time, Okabe Naosaburo was already anxious, and all kinds of unfavorable news on the front line kept gathering in front of Okabe Naosaburo, and the 26th Division in the east was violently bombarded by the heavy artillery army of the [***] team, and the town of Seven Stars in the southwest called again, and the armored cluster of the [***] team had nearly broken through a defensive line and was attacking the second line of defense.

What made Okabe Naosaburo even more uneasy was that Qixing Town also said on the phone that behind the tanks and armor of the [***] team, there were still a large number of Chinese cavalry, and Okabe Naosaburo was worried that a cavalry wing, a tank wing, a field infantry wing and a puppet cavalry division he sent not long ago would be able to block the attack of the [***] team.

Just when Okabe Naosaburo was anxious and frowned, a little devil communication soldier also walked in with an anxious face, stood up in front of Okabe Naosaburo, and said a little frightened: "Your Excellency Commander, just now the 26th Division sent a telegram asking for tactical guidance. ”

Hearing this, Okabe Naosaburo's face changed, and he thought in his heart, no, it must be that the 26th Division has encountered some big problem and encountered a strong opponent, otherwise the proud 26th Division would not have asked for tactical guidance so quickly.

Okabe Naosaburo immediately said sharply: "What the hell is the situation?" ”

The little devil communication soldier immediately said loudly: "To the east of the position of the 26th Division, there is a large-scale armored cluster of the [***] squadron, about a few hundred Chinese combat vehicles, and these squadron [***] squadrons are currently approaching the 26th Division. ”

After listening to the report of the little devil communication soldier, Naosaburo Okabe finally shouted regardless of his image: "Yaga! How can the [***] team have two armored clusters. ”
