The Japanese rapid-fire artillery squadron unfortunately chose the wrong target for attack, and the result was a tragedy. The frightened crew of the tank was extremely resentful of these rapid-fire artillerymen who dared to challenge their majesty, so one tank immediately turned its muzzle and aimed at the twelve rapid-fire guns that were attacking it, and even stopped the Cheetah heavy tank in order to be more accurate.

After the muzzles of the vehicle-mounted guns spat out tongues of fire one after another, the twelve rapid-fire guns that had just been fired for the fifth round of shells were blown into a pile of scrap metal one by one. The chariots seemed to feel still unrelieved, so they continued to sweep the fleeing artillery with their heavy machine guns. After confirming the results of the battle, a puff of black smoke rose from behind the butts of the four Cheetah heavy tanks and continued to advance towards the Japanese position.

The rapid-fire guns were destroyed one by one in vain, which made the Japanese front commander almost stared out of his eyes in shock. It wasn't until a squadron leader next to him shouted, "Your Excellency the Captain, the chariot of the Shina people is rushing over, what should I do?" The commander shouted at the squadron leader in a bit of a panic: "Quick, report the situation to His Excellency the Wing Commander, and request artillery support!"

Soon Inoue Kojiro Osa received a report from the forward position, and for a while this report made it difficult for him to believe. Inoue Kojiro Osa was surprised and asked the signal soldier who came to deliver the message, "What about it? Even rapid-fire guns can't damage the chariot of the Shina people?" Inoue Kojiro Osa had a field artillery brigade in his hands, equipped with eighteen 75-caliber field guns.

But just now Inoue Kojiro had already seen the power of the Chinese army's artillery fire, and he did not think that his eighteen field guns alone could compete with the many heavy artillery pieces of the Chinese army, so he would not use these eighteen field guns unless it was a critical moment. After thinking for a while, Inoue Kojiro said to the signal corps: "Yours, go back and tell your captain, let him find a way to deal with the chariots of the Chinese people, and the position must not be lost! ”

The Japanese forward commander, who was waiting for news, watched as the tanks approached little by little, but the supporting artillery fire did not move. In order to hold the position, he could only select a group of dead soldiers from the soldiers, tie explosives and medicine bags to their bodies, and prepare for them to rush out of the position and blow up the approaching chariots. Just when the tank approached a hundred meters from the position, the signal corps finally rushed back.

When the overjoyed commander heard the news brought back by the signal corps, it was like a plate of ice water pouring down from his head for three or nine days. It took him a moment to react, and he looked back at the steel beasts that were about to reach the front of the position, and his face was full of hideousness. The commander drew his command knife and shouted: "All fire is aimed at the infantry behind the Shina chariot and fire!"

In the shouts of the commander, all the firepower on the position went towards the infantry behind the chariot, although the chariot blocked most of the fire, but there were still times when it could not be stopped, especially the grenades and shells fired by the Japanese grenadiers, which could directly cross the chariot and fall among the soldiers. Every grenade or bullet will bring some fighters down.

Seeing that the infantry following the chariot could only shrink behind the chariot and did not dare to show their heads easily, the Japanese commander let the dead soldiers attack, and these dead soldiers shouted slogans, rushed out of the trench and rushed towards the chariots. Such a situation has been encountered many times by the 545th Regiment, and it was expected. In the face of the dead soldiers rushing up frantically, the soldiers behind the chariot could no longer care about dodging the bullets, and raised their weapons to fire at the dead soldiers.

The shooting of the fighters and the strafing of the heavy machine guns on the vehicle enabled none of the dead soldiers who could rush to the side of the tank, and the Cheetah heavy tank was not afraid of such explosives and medicine packs at all, even if there were explosives and medicine packs exploding next to them, they would directly ignore them. The body of the light tank was not afraid of explosives and medicine packs, but two of them were still blown up and damaged their tracks and had to stop.

The soldiers who followed behind the battlecar had to expose their bodies and shoot in order to eliminate the dead soldiers who pounced on them, which also gave the Japanese troops who were still in the trenches a chance. The Third Infantry Wing is an elite wing in the division, and the quality of the soldiers is even stronger.

The 545th Regiment only eliminated the dead soldiers who rushed up, and in just a few minutes, it suffered nearly 100 casualties at once. Fortunately, the casualties paid were still valuable, and so many dead soldiers rushed up, and only two light tanks were damaged. By this time, the tanks in front had already crossed the trench and killed deep into the Japanese position, and the fighters behind them also took the opportunity to rush into the trench.

Seeing that some of the soldiers had rushed into the trench, Zhao Fei, the commander of the 545th Regiment who was watching the battle, breathed a sigh of relief, with Zhao Fei's idea, as long as the soldiers rushed into the trench and started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, with the skills of these soldiers, it would not be much of a problem to take the trench, but the development of the battle situation was beyond his expectations, and he was also caught off guard.

The captain of the Japanese army, who commanded the battle in the forward position, was also a very shrewd man, and he saw that the Chinese chariots had already rushed through the trench, and the soldiers who followed the chariots also rushed into the trench, but the soldiers behind him were a little disjointed, and the distance between them and the troops in front of them was a few tens of meters, so he immediately seized this opportunity.

On the one hand, the captain ordered the troops at both ends of the trench to increase their firepower and block the troops attacking from behind, and on the other hand, he mobilized two squadrons of troops to rush into the trench in an effort to eliminate the Chinese soldiers who had already rushed into the trench. This method really worked, and although the two battalions in the back had armored vehicles as cover, they were still suppressed in the face of the desperate and frantic blocking of the Japanese army.

The soldiers of the first battalion that rushed into the trench had already lost more than 100 men just now, so they were not strong enough to attack, and they were somewhat unable to follow. Faced with more and more Japanese soldiers in the trenches, the first battalion was suddenly caught in a bitter battle. The tanks that rushed through the trenches without the cover of the infantry also became the main Japanese standard for the Japanese attack.

Thankfully, the tanks were sturdy enough and, when they realized that something was wrong, they began to charge back again, which allowed most of the tanks to escape, except for two light tanks that were destroyed by the Japanese under siege, and the entire tank group was killed. The tanks fought back into the trench, causing the frightened Japanese troops to dodge one after another, and the first battalion in the bitter battle took the opportunity to fight out of the trench with the tanks.

After a long attack, the first battalion and the chariot battalion were damaged, and Zhao Fei had to let the troops withdraw first. With the cover of the chariots, the 545th Regiment easily withdrew, but this attack not only failed to capture the Japanese position, but also lost four light tanks, two light armored vehicles, more than half of the casualties of the first battalion, and many casualties of the second and third battalions. As soon as the 545th Regiment was withdrawn, Zhao Fei was notified to go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting.

As the saying goes, "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!" Wang Haitao's troops are very united, but some small groups still exist. Wang Haitao didn't ask too much about such a small group, but felt that it was a good thing to have competition. But he demanded unconditional obedience from his subordinates. As long as this is ensured, there is no problem with not folding each other.

The same is true of Zhang Lingfu's 272nd Brigade, Zhao Fei's 545th Regiment is the old foundation of Wang Haitao's Longzhou Security Regiment, just like Wang Haitao's descendant, Xiao Changxin's 546th Regiment has the vast majority of officers are communists, and this regiment can be said to be a red army. Du Haifeng's 547th Regiment is Zhang Lingfu's descendant, after the 547th Regiment was established in Shanghai, Zhang Lingfu was the head of the regiment, and the 547th Regiment was brought out by Zhang Lingfu.

The three regiments naturally bowed their heads to Wang Haitao, but they were still showing signs of each other. The 546th Regiment only competed in the military aspect, and it was also absolutely obedient to Wang Haitao's orders, but politically it had some opinions about Wang Haitao. Zhao Fei is a native of Guangxi, and almost all the officers and soldiers of the regiment are from Guangxi, so he looks down on Du Haifeng's 547th Regiment, and the 545th Regiment is always stronger than the 547th Regiment militarily.

Du Haifeng was very unconvinced by this, and was always looking for an opportunity to prove the strength of the 547th Regiment. When Zhao Fei walked into the brigade headquarters, the first thing he saw was Du Haifeng's somewhat gloating eyes. Zhao Fei didn't care about that, walked up to Zhang Lingfu and saluted, shouting: "Zhao Fei of the 545th Regiment came to report." Zhang Lingfu returned the military salute and asked Zhao Fei to sit down. At this time, the three heads of the regiment had arrived, and Zhang Lingfu announced the meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhang Lingfu didn't say nonsense, and said directly: "Our brigade has just launched an attack on the army position by the 545th Regiment and the mixed armored battalion, but the attack failed, and the losses are not small. Commander Zhao Fei, could you please summarize the situation of this attack? Zhao Fei stood up, saluted everyone, and then said: "Brigade seat, this attack failed, some problems were exposed, the responsibility lies with me, please punish me!" After speaking, he lowered his head.

When Zhang Lingfu heard this, he said with some unhappiness: "Commander Zhao Fei, I ask you to summarize the offensive situation, in order to find problems and solve them, not to punish you." If you find something wrong, say it all and find a solution to it so that the next attack doesn't have the same problem. Zhao Fei's face turned red, and he understood that he was thinking too much.

Zhao Fei, who understood at this time, began to summarize, and he said: "Brigade seat, the biggest problem in this attack is that the team did not cooperate well during the attack, and the front and back were disjointed, so that the Japanese army seized the opportunity. During the attack, the distance between the armored vehicles used for cover in the rear and the tanks advancing to attack was too large, so the troops in front had already rushed to the Japanese positions, and the troops behind had not yet arrived.

Another problem is that we underestimate the determination of the Japanese army to resist, when the troops in front rushed into the Japanese trenches, even I thought that the Japanese trenches would be safe, but I did not estimate that the Japanese troops would resist desperately, and the number of Japanese troops on the position was too large, so that the troops that had already entered the trenches had to withdraw. ”
