Chapter 252: The head breaks and the blood flows

The British 5th and 7th Indian Divisions, the 81st South African Division, the 17th Indian Division, and the 254th Indian Tank Brigade all participated in the offensive. In order to break through the interception of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they invested more than 30,000 people in this wave of attacks.www.biquge.info In particular, the 254th Indian Tank Brigade put the remaining more than 20 M3 tanks into battle.

"Attack! Tear open the defense line of the Chinese and crush them! ”

"Defeat the Chinese, we have to go home!"

Countless British soldiers shouted slogans and launched an attack. For them, if they want to escape, there is only one way, and that is to break through the interception of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Only in this way can you escape. Otherwise, it would have to fall into the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Crunch! Crunch! ”

More than 20 M3 light tanks crushed the ground and quickly rushed to the position of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Although the M3 light tank has weak armor and low firepower, it is still not something they can withstand for the infantry. The tank's machine-gun fire can easily tear the infantry's body to shreds. But if the infantry lacked anti-tank weapons, they could only be slaughtered by these tanks.

But was the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army a unit lacking anti-tank weapons? Apparently not. In the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, each battalion had three 57-mm anti-tank guns. And the anti-tank company at the regimental headquarters was armed with 12 57-mm anti-tank guns. In this way, an infantry regiment was armed with 21 57-mm anti-tank guns. The two regiments deployed by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Jagu were armed with a total of 42 57-mm anti-tank guns. These dozens of anti-tank guns, against more than 20 M3 light tanks of the British, were completely handy.

"Aim at the target, seven hundred and eighty meters away from us." The commander of an anti-tank artillery group ordered.

57 mm anti-tank gun, aimed at one of the M3 light tanks of the British army. At this moment, the light tank was constantly firing, not realizing that the danger was already on their heads.

"Boom!" The anti-tank gun fired, and an armor-piercing shell, whizzing towards the tank.

In the blink of an eye, the tank was armored on top of the M3 light tank. The armor with a thickness of more than ten millimeters could not withstand the shelling of armor-piercing shells at all, and it was penetrated in one fell swoop. A fist-sized bullet hole appeared in the front armor of the tank, and the armor fragments shot at high speed inside the tank, easily killing all the tank crews in the tank.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The rest of the tank guns also opened fire. One after another, the British tanks were pierced, and even became a pile of burning scrap metal.

Although, the British M3 tanks were desperately accelerating, trying to break through the interception at the last distance. However, under the blow of the intensive anti-tank fire of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it was simply impossible to do so. The last M3 light tank was also destroyed less than 100 meters from the line of defense of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.

"Oh God! It's over, my tank brigade is finished. Brigadier General Kagle, commander of the 254th Indian Tank Brigade of the British Army, closed his eyes in pain. All the tanks that this tank brigade of his was equipped with, were destroyed. Most of them were destroyed by air raids by the Air Force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, and the rest were also destroyed in the battle just now. This undoubtedly caused this tank brigade to suffer a fatal blow. Although, they still have a lot of soldiers, but after losing all the tanks, are they still tank brigades?

The loss of the 254th British Indian Tank Brigade did not stop the offensive of the other British units. The offensive of tens of thousands of British troops is still beginning.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

On the positions of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, 36 75-mm field guns were firing at the maximum rate of fire. One shell after another, whistling towards the ranks of the British troops. The shells exploded in the ranks of the British troops, blowing away many British soldiers. Even, quite a few people were directly torn to shreds.

"Boom!" A shell exploded, killing several Indian Asan, who were wrapped in turbans.

"Fire!" With the commander's order, the heavy mortars of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army also opened fire. 107-mm heavy mortar, although the range was not far. However, the power is great and the rate of fire is also very fast. This is undoubtedly an extremely strong infantry suppressive firepower.

Under the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the British army paid a heavy price of casualties.

However, the British army, which had lost its heavy weapons, had no way to deal with the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and could only watch their soldiers being ravaged by the fierce artillery fire of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Many British soldiers fell on the way to attack.

More and more British soldiers rushed to the front of the defense line of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. And the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army on the defense line are already in full battle. The entire section of the line of defense, less than ten kilometers. Therefore, the two regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army each sent two infantry battalions to the front position. The other units are used as reserves.

"Light and heavy machine guns ready, fire!"

With the commander's order, heavy and light machine guns on the line began to fire fiercely.

"Da Da Da!" Orange flames erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and bullets whistled towards the British soldiers. Many British soldiers were hit and fell to the ground screaming.

"Oh God! The Chinese are too dense with firepower. What a powerful firepower those Americans equipped them with! ”

The British generals who were watching the battle in the rear couldn't help but look at the charge of the British soldiers when they saw that they were completely intercepted. It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of these British soldiers, blocking the attack of the British soldiers.

Countless British soldiers fell to the ground. Blood flowed from their bodies, soaking the ground.

Although, the British army put into the offensive much more troops than the two regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. However, under the intensive firepower attack, the role that the superiority in troops can play is no longer so great. The dense formation, in such an attack, is more completely looking for death.

The defense line of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, although it was hastily constructed. However, with the support of dense firepower, this section of defense is very strong. Strong enough for the British to hit their heads on the defensive line and bleed.

After losing thousands of men, the British offensive ended in collapse. A large number of Indian Ahsan, frightened, retreated and fled. They didn't dare to attack anymore, because it was clearly looking for death.
