And at this moment, the second round of shells fired by the Eighth Route Army flew above their heads again. In the midst of a violent explosion and the screams of soldiers. Several mortars were already spraying heavy machine guns with tongues of fire, and together with dozens of imperial soldiers next to them, they once again turned into a pile of parts, and with the round after round of shells, the little devils on the two positions were blown up one after another in a pool of blood.

However, the little devil's bushido spirit still saved their lives at a critical time. In the end, the two positions, under intensive artillery fire, eventually lost almost a quarter of their strength, and all the rest were moved to safety.

"Baga, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is cunning and cunning, and it has been lurking in front of the Imperial Army for so long before launching an attack. Order the artillery, immediately return fire, be sure to destroy the opponent's artillery. Heavy machine guns continued to fire, covering the infantry charge. "When I learned that I had nearly 50 mortars, under the artillery raid of the Eighth Route Army, I lost more than a dozen in an instant, and more importantly, I also lost dozens of elite artillery. Wing Commander Nakamoto Osa scolded loudly and scolded loudly to the commander of the temporary artillery brigade who came to report.

"Hey, Your Excellency Wing Commander, we will definitely destroy the artillery of the Eighth Route Army and avenge the imperial warriors who have just been shattered in the hands of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army." The captain turned and ran towards his new artillery position.

However, the captain who returned to the position was full of disappointment after receiving the reports from the squadron leaders. Because, according to the trajectory of the shells fired by the Eighth Route Army, it was found that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army was scattered throughout the town, so that they could not find the shelling target at all

However, the Wing Commander's orders must be carried out. Under the command of the captain, the little devil gathered all the remaining mortars and prepared to eliminate one after another, and the artillery of the Eighth Route Army distributed in the town. Under their intensive artillery fire, although there were several artillery positions, they were reduced to rubble. However, the little devil's new artillery position was once again exposed to the eyes of the soldiers on the other artillery positions in the town at the same time.

Immediately, one shell after another flew out of the town and landed on the new artillery position of the little devil. However, in the face of one shell after another, they exploded on their own positions. The temporary captain of the little devil also seems to be on fire, and no longer orders the soldiers to transfer. Instead, he ordered dozens of artillerymen behind him, risking the risk of being hit at any time, to resolutely return fire on the position where explosions were constantly occurring.

As a result, under the compulsory order of the temporary commander of the army, the artillery of the enemy and our armies began to fight fiercely. However, because the artillery of the little devils was in a concentrated state, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army was based on three mortars as a position, which was loosely distributed in the huge Zhongyang Town. Therefore, the artillery of the two sides only fired at each other for less than five minutes, and the victory or defeat was already known.

In these five minutes, the remaining mortars of the Eighth Route Army tilted no less than 100 shells towards the artillery positions of the Japanese army. Nearly 20 mortars were destroyed in place by these shells. On the other hand, the little devil destroyed three artillery positions and nine mortars of the road army in just five minutes

Just as the artillery battle began, the battle between the battalion and the little devils of the squadron guarding the position was also on the verge of breaking out. The commander of the first battalion guarding the position suddenly became a lot more sparse when he saw that under the counterattack of his artillery unit, the rain of bullets, which was still impermeable just now. As a battalion commander, the first battalion commander certainly would not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately ordered the fighters hidden in the trenches to open fire on the more than 200 little devils hiding behind the tanks.

Although the army has the cover of tanks. However, under the fire of the soldiers' rounds of guns, there were still dozens of little devils, and before they could find the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had just stretched out their heads on the opposite side, they fell in a pool of blood. In particular, several heavy machine guns on the positions of the first battalion formed a dense tongue of crossfire in front of the positions, constantly reaping the lives of the little devils hiding behind the tanks from all unequal directions.

"Baga, hidden, quickly hidden" saw that in just a split second, the strength of one of his own reinforced squadrons had lost a squad. The squadron leader's face immediately changed, and he shouted loudly at the soldiers who still continued to charge behind him. Even he was the first to lie on the ground.

Similarly, the rapid march of the triple tank, at the same time as the squadron leader's order was issued, discovered several light and heavy machine gun positions on the position of the Eighth Route Army outside Baimikai, which were constantly spewing tongues of fire. With their rough skin and thick flesh, the three tanks did not hesitate, immediately turned their guns and began to fire. At the same time, the two vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tank also fired a dense rain of bullets at the position of the Eighth Route Army in front of them.

"Boom, boom, boom" Three violent explosions sounded, and three tanks in quick succession fired a shell at the position of a battalion not far away. With the discharge of the three shells, the three heavy machine gun positions that had just been spraying flames were blown into the most primitive parts along with the machine guns in this violent explosion. And at this moment, the density of fire on the positions was reduced by at least half at once.

"Yo Xi, warriors, follow the tanks, rush into the position of the Eighth Route Army, and use our bayonets to kill all the people on the opposite side. Seeing the three heavy machine gun positions destroyed by his own tank, the corners of the squadron leader's mouth once again regained a smile, raised the command knife in his hand, and ordered loudly.

The remaining more than 100 little devils, only following behind the three tanks, launched a charge again.

"The comrades were steady, and all light and heavy machine guns, except for the riflemen, stopped firing. All steady, ready grenades, the little devil rushed in, let's use grenades "Although we lost three heavy machine guns and dozens of excellent soldiers, but thinking of the regiment commander's order and the task of his own battalion, the commander of the first battalion forcibly held back the grief in his heart, and commanded loudly back and forth to the soldiers in the trenches.

"Bang bang bang" In the sparse sound of the soldiers' rifles, the three tanks spewed tongues of fire as they quickly moved forward. And the little devils of the three squads, also under the cover of the tanks, almost did not suffer any major losses, and advanced to a distance of only about 40 meters from the position.

"Yo Xi, it seems that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is frightened by our tanks, order, all soldiers, prepare for white-knuckle combat, the first squad of chariots, continue to charge, break through the enemy's defensive positions." Seeing the position of the Eighth Route Army close at hand, the squadron leader showed a bloodthirsty look in his eyes, drew his command knife, and ordered loudly.

"Comrades, throw grenades, fire" and the commander of a battalion on the position, seeing that in just a few seconds, three tanks would rush into his position. The commander of the first battalion didn't say a word, and picked up a grenade. shouted loudly at the soldiers around him. At the same time, he threw the grenade in his hand.

"Woo woo" hundreds of grenades, at the command of the battalion commander, were thrown out of the trenches. It passed the three tanks that were advancing rapidly and landed in the infantry group following the tanks. "Boom, boom, boom" a dense explosion sounded in the rear of the tank. Three squads, more than a hundred little devils, no accident, all shrouded in this thick gunsmoke.

The three tanks at the front of the charge were unaware of the explosion behind them. They only saw the position of the Eighth Route Army getting closer and closer, and saw the results they would achieve after breaking through the position of the Eighth Route Army first, and the three tanks rushed into the position of the first battalion without realizing it without the cover of the infantry. The raging vehicle-mounted machine guns dusted the position of the Eighth Route Army in front of them

However, to the surprise of the little devil, after the Eighth Route Army's position after the frantic strafing of his own vehicle-mounted machine gun, there were no imaginary corpses all over the ground. However, at this time, the little devil was completely carried away by the victory in front of him, and he never imagined that there was a huge trap waiting for him in front of him.

Three tanks, under the command of the squad leader, lined up in a zigzag attack formation. With puffs of black smoke, it crossed the position of the first battalion and rushed directly into the town. He tried to use the three tanks in his hands to sweep the entire position and divide the Eighth Route Army in the town into two.

"Yo Xi, it seems that the first merit of the total annihilation of the Eighth Route Army this time is going to give us the first squad of the chariot. Tell Zhongtianjun, Xia Zijun, don't have any worries, follow your own offensive line, carry forward the spirit of the Great Empire, and sweep the entire Eighth Route Army position" Seeing that the three tanks under his command barely encountered any resistance, they successfully broke through the defensive position of the Eighth Route Army. The captain of the tank squad not only did not have any worries, but ordered with confidence on his face, as if the aura of victory had been worn on his head.

However, the little devil's confidence was completely shattered at this time. Just when the squad leader had just conveyed his orders to the ears of the commanders of the other two tanks through the on-board radio. A loud vibration suddenly reached his ears. Immediately after, the whole tank, as if falling into the abyss. There was a violent collision, and several little devils in the tank, including himself, were completely staggered. At the same time, the tank, which had been roaring incessantly just now, suddenly turned off and stopped in place.

"Yaga, driver, what happened, why did you stop and don't move on" The team leader, who reacted from the shock, hurriedly asked the driver next to him.

"Report to the captain, it's a hidden anti-tank trench, our tank fell into the anti-tank trench, and now it can't move" The driver named by the squad leader, looking at the squad leader who was still smiling just now, suddenly became full of murderous energy, and the tank driver couldn't help but feel a chill and hurriedly replied.

"Concealed anti-tank trenches, how is it possible, the Eighth Route Army, a group of uneducated people, has never even seen a tank, how can they know how to dig anti-tank trenches" The squad leader looked incredulous, and at the same time brought his eyes to the lookout in front of the driver. Sure enough, through the lookout, the squad leader saw the situation outside. A wall of earth blocked his tank, blocking his tank tightly. More importantly, through the lookout, I seemed to see some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, walking back and forth around their tanks with guns

"Ba Ge Yalu, the cunning Eighth Route Army, what about the infantry behind us, why don't they approach us. Quick, call the squadron leader and ask for support "Seeing that his car was really encircled, on the face of the squad leader, he could no longer see the confidence he had just now, but his face was full of panic.

However, at this very moment, on the roof of his tank, there was already a "thump" of metallic crashes. Obviously, the Eighth Route Army overhead is trying to find a way to pry open the flap at the top of the tank. Listening to the sound overhead, the squad leader became even more panicked, and ordered loudly to the soldiers around him who were also full of panic: "Eight grid tooth road, block, we must block the flap, we must not let the Eighth Route Army pry open, quickly"

However, at this point it was too late. Before the squad leader's words could be heard, a grenade emitting white smoke was thrown through a gap that had been pried open. However, to the little devil's surprise, although the grenade exploded, it did not produce shrapnel that could kill him.

Just when the little devil in the tank was glad about this, the accident happened. The grenade did not produce any lethal shrapnel though. But it kept coming out of the body of the bullet, and puffs of red and choking smoke came out. After only a few seconds, the entire tank cab was completely enveloped in this choking smoke.

"Ahem" Under the shroud of this red smoke, the coughing sound of the little devil immediately came from the cab. It turned out that in order to capture these tanks more intact, the fighters did not directly blow up the grenades, but used grenades with a large amount of paprika. And this kind of grenade, after the explosion, the command ignites the paprika held inside the bomb body, producing smoky chili smoke.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, it's a gas bomb, the Eighth Route Army used a gas bomb to give me a gas mask, quickly find a gas mask" smelled the choking smoke. The squad leader's tears were about to come out, and he roared loudly. However, he did not know that in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from using poison gas bombs, all the gas masks attached to the tank corps had been handed over and distributed to the infantry.

"Captain, I just can't take it anymore. I'm going out, even if I fight with the Eighth Route Army outside, and I don't want to continue to suffer inside" A little devil machine gunner with red eyes who was smoked. While coughing, he said to the team leader in front of him. Before everyone could react, they opened the tightly closed top cover and drilled out at once.

"Baga, you can't go out" Seeing the machine gunner who got out, the team leader quickly refused loudly. However, it was still too late, and as soon as his words fell, a burst of machine-gun fire reached the ears of the few remaining little devils in the cab. And the little devil who had just gotten out of the tank, before he could breathe a breath of fresh air outside the tank, was beaten into a sieve by the machine gunners guarding the side

However, although he knew that if he got out of the tank, he would die immediately. However, in the face of the increasingly thick pepper smoke in the cab. The remaining little devils couldn't stand it anymore, and despite the captain's obstruction, they got out of the tanks one after another and fell under the guns of the fighters. Even the captain of the Yue Army, who had been insisting on refusing to go out, had to get out of the tank and fall in a pool of blood under the premise that he was so smoked that there was really no way

Similarly, the two tanks on both flanks of the squad leader's tank, under the same tactics of the fighters, the final result was no surprise. The four little devils in each tank were all killed. The three tanks were captured intact by the soldiers.

The battle in the town is over, but the battle outside the town has just entered its most intense time. Although, more than a hundred little devils, after being attacked by the soldiers' dense grenades, once again killed and injured the strength of a squad. However, the remaining more than a hundred little devils, under the leadership of the squadron leader, although they lost the cover of the tank, did not have any retreat.

With the remaining half of the soldiers in his squadron, he hid behind the corpses of the fallen soldiers, and began to shoot at the Eighth Route Army opposite. At the same time, the three grenadiers that followed the charge of the troops, also under the command of the squadron leader, poured grenades one after another on the positions of the first battalion

It should be said that the Kwantung Army at this time deserved to be the most powerful unit in the entire army. The grenadier in the hand of the grenadier soldier is almost a dozen accurate. For every grenade that goes down, a battalion of light machine guns plus a couple of fighters will inevitably be lost on their positions. At the same time, more than 100 riflemen lying on the ground also relied on their skilled combat speed movements. In the dense rain of bullets, from time to time find an opportunity to open fire. Facing the position of the Eighth Route Army less than 40 meters away, although the firepower of these little devils is very sparse. However, the sparse bullets caused huge casualties and mental pressure on the soldiers. Because, the combat effectiveness of the more than 100 little devils in front of him is really beyond the imagination of the soldiers, almost everyone is a sharpshooter, and every bullet is fired, a soldier will inevitably be directly shot in the head on the position of a battalion.
