Chapter 501: It's Dawn
Although it was night, the offensive of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was still very fierce. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoMore than a hundred M3 light tanks of two tank battalions, rushed to the forefront. He was followed by thousands of infantry of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
"Quick! The Chinese attacked. Enter the position. The Japanese officers, shouting loudly, drove the soldiers to the position as if they were driving livestock.
"Whew! Shout! ”
One flare after another began to rise into the air, shining the figures of the officers and men of the attacking Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Of course, the most eye-catching are the tanks of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The black tank is like a steel monster.
"Yaga! Tanks, tanks of the people of China. The anti-tank guns are pulled up. A Japanese wing commander yelled frantically.
If these Japanese troops were not worried about their defense line being broken by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army before, then now, they have been frightened. In the previous plan of the Japanese army, even if the defensive line was breached, it would only enter into a brutal white-knuckle battle. If they fight with bayonets, they will not be afraid of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army at all. And they are convinced that they will win.
But now, if the tanks of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army break through their defensive line, they will be able to crush them directly. No matter how powerful the Japanese army's stabbing skills are, it is impossible to use bayonets to overturn the tanks of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, right?
The Japanese were not equipped with many anti-tank guns, and a wing had only six 37-mm anti-tank guns. Although, the power of the 37mm anti-tank gun was enough to tear through the weak armor of the M3 light tank of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. However, the number of their anti-tank guns is too small after all, and the role they can play is also very limited.
What's more, it's night and the sight is very bad. It would be even more difficult for the Japanese anti-tank gunners to hit the tanks of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.
"Aim a little and take out the China's tank." One of the squadron commanders ordered.
"Boom!"
A Japanese 37-mm anti-tank gun opened fire, and an armor-piercing shell hit an M3 light tank. The armor, which was only a dozen millimeters thick, was pierced in an instant. The shell hit the ammunition inside the tank, causing a detonation and the entire tank turned into a fireball.
A Type 92 heavy machine gun of the Japanese army immediately seized this opportunity and began to strafe and killed many soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army who accompanied the tank battle.
However, the tanks of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army immediately launched a counterattack. The tank guns of more than a hundred tanks are also not vegetarian. Even though it was night, the accuracy of shooting was greatly affected. However, under the constant fire of these tanks, the Japanese anti-tank guns were destroyed one after another.
Similarly, the Japanese machine-gun fire points also became the targets of these tanks. The machine guns that were firing frantically were destroyed one after another. So that the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army can no longer be threatened by the Japanese machine-gun fire when attacking.
"Da Da Da!"
When the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was attacking, light and heavy machine guns were attacked with the troops as much as possible. This allows the infantry to be covered by their own machine-gun fire when attacking, thus causing greater damage to the defending Japanese army.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the attack of the people of China is too fierce. They used a large number of tanks to participate in the attack. Our line of defense is already in jeopardy. "The commander of the 119th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, Kuichichi Asano, reported to Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono.
"Yaga, you must find a way to destroy the tanks of the Chinese people. Otherwise, our defenses will soon be destroyed. Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono ordered.
In the face of a serious shortage of anti-tank weapons, the officers and men of the Japanese army were only able to fully carry forward the tradition. That is to let the soldiers launch a suicidal attack. Let them carry explosive packs or cluster grenades and rush to the tanks of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. In this way, the tanks of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were blown up.
Under the cover of night, this tactic of the Japanese army achieved certain success. More than a dozen tanks of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were blown up by the Japanese army in this way. However, when the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army realized this and strengthened the protection of tanks, it was difficult for the Japanese suicidal attack to succeed. At the same time, casualties are on the rise.
The battle was very fierce, although the Japanese army withstood the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army with huge casualties. even used suicidal attacks to repel the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. But it cannot be disguised that the casualties they paid were very large. Under such circumstances, they can repel one attack by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, but can they repel one attack after another by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army?
What's more, time is ticking by little by little. It won't be long before dawn comes. As soon as dawn comes, the air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army will definitely be dispatched to launch a fierce bombing against them. At that time, it will probably be very difficult to accomplish the scheduled combat mission under the condition of wanton and indiscriminate bombing by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
"Send a telegram to Nakayongjun, we are now under a lot of pressure. The attacks of the Chinese are so fierce that we can't hold out for long. Ask them to speed up the siege and annihilation of the China. Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono said.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Naoki Kimura nodded.
On the other side, the siege of the Japanese 18th Division, the 31st Division, and the 72nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade against the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese National Salvation Army continued.
However, even these two divisions and one independent mixed brigade have already put all their main forces into the attack, and even the engineer units and baggage units have also been put into the battlefield. However, the defense line of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is still as stable as Mount Tai. The corpses of the Japanese army have already piled up a thick layer in front of the defense line of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
"Yaga! How so? How could the defense line of the people of China be so strong? We have gathered so many troops that we have not been able to break through the lines of the China. In that case, it would be wishful thinking to eat the people of China and defeat them completely! Nakanaga Taro looked frustrated.
By this time, he already knew that it was almost impossible to win and complete the mission. Especially now, it's not far from dawn.
Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually darkened and brightened. Half an hour later, the darkness had gradually cleared.
