The heavy tank vehicles had already approached the front of the Japanese position, but the armored vehicles and the officers and men of the 871st Regiment were suppressed behind by artillery fire, which made Wei Shaofeng, the commander of the 871st Regiment, sweat profusely. Fortunately, after the Japanese artillery was muted, the armored vehicles were able to move forward again. As soon as the armored car moved, Wei Shaofeng led the regimental guard company to follow several heavy armored bodies and assault forward.

Wei Shaofeng shouted as he moved forward: "Brothers, follow the chariot and take care to protect the chariot. The regiment commander rushed to the front, and the three battalion commanders were also anxious, urging their subordinates to speed up one after another. The armored vehicle did not move slowly, and it took only ten minutes to merge with the tank in front. As a result, dozens of tanks, hundreds of armored vehicles, and three infantry battalions of the 871st Regiment formed a cone and plunged straight into the Japanese position.

There were a lot of people on the Japanese position, but the lack of morale was one aspect, and the most important thing was that even the brigade commander, Major General Jun Nakayama, had never seen hundreds of large and small chariots launch a group charge, let alone the soldiers under his command. The Cheetah heavy tanks that rushed to the front were even more invincible, and the Japanese army was powerless against them, which made the Japanese army panic.

The Cheetah heavy tank broke through the Japanese position with the roar of the engine, and a small number of Japanese soldiers on the position rushed to the tank with explosives bags, and most of the Japanese fled backwards. Most of the soldiers who were willing to be human bombers were knocked to the ground by the light and heavy machine guns covering before they rushed in front of the tank, and the few soldiers who rushed to the front and pulled the explosive packs only broke themselves to pieces, which did no harm to the heavy tanks at all.

A soldier who takes the lead in escaping will affect one group of people, and this one will affect many more. When the brigade commander, Major General Jun Nakayama, found that the troops had begun to break and flee, it was too late to stop them. Seeing that the chariots were getting closer and closer, the squadron leader who was responsible for protecting him ignored his feelings and ordered the soldiers to pick up Major General Jun Nakayama and flee to the back.

The second line of defense of the Japanese army was also breached, which made the whole armored regiment even more excited. The regiment commander, Lu Renqing, gave an order with a walkie-talkie to maintain an offensive formation and continue to advance by assault. As a result, the armored regiment maintained a cone-shaped attack formation with five Cheetah heavy tank vehicles as the tip of the cone, passed through the second line of defense of the Japanese army, and went straight to the third line of defense. The 871st Regiment was still following the armored vehicles to attack forward, and the positions behind it had their own 872nd Regiment and 873rd Regiment to clear up.

In the temporary headquarters, division commander Tang Hongming received a report that the 460th Brigade had successively broken through the second line of defense of the Japanese army and was attacking the third line of defense. At the same time, let the 461st Brigade send a regiment to protect the self-propelled howitzer battalion.

Soon the armored regiment approached the third line of defense of the Japanese army, and the 18th Wing of the 29th Brigade of the 3rd Division was stationed on the third line of defense. The Japanese soldiers who fled backwards did not affect the 18th Wing on the position, and these routs were absorbed by the 18th Wing as soon as they passed through the forward position.

When the five heavy Cheetah tanks of the armored regiment were the tip of the cone, they broke through to less than 200 meters from the Japanese position, and the soldiers at the forefront of the Japanese position were already in full position. Eight 37-caliber rapid-fire guns of the 18th Wing were also distributed on the front-line positions. The commander of the 18th Wing, who was in charge of the command, was also personally on the front-line position, and Ishii Shinosa saw dozens of tanks of the armored regiment attacking in a cone, although he was also extremely surprised by the fact that the people of China used so many tanks to charge at one time, but Ishii Shinosa did not panic.

When the tanks in the front were 150 meters away from the Japanese position, eight Japanese rapid-fire guns of 37 caliber opened fire. The armor-piercing shell hit the tank, causing the occupants to feel the vibration as well. Liu Hao, the commander of the first Cheetah tank, was also shocked, he knew that the Japanese were attacking his own tank with armor-piercing shells.

This heavy tank of his own does not have to be afraid of this kind of armor-piercing bullet of the Japanese army, but the light tank and armored vehicles in the back are not, and this kind of armor-piercing bullet will bring them fatal damage. Liu Hao immediately ordered a stop, and then looked for the location of the rapid-fire gun firing armor-piercing shells on the Japanese position through the observation scope. Eight Japanese 37-caliber rapid-fire guns were desperately spitting armor-piercing shells, and the fire from the muzzles of the guns was easy to spot.

The five Cheetah tanks are a heavy tank platoon, and Liu Hao, the commander of the No. 121 tank in the first place, is the platoon leader of this platoon. As soon as car No. 121 stopped, the tanks behind it stopped, and the commanders of the other cars hurriedly asked Liu Hao what was wrong through the walkie-talkie? At this time, Liu Hao had clearly seen the position of the eight rapid-fire guns of the Japanese army, and issued an order through the walkie-talkie to the other tanks to destroy these eight rapid-fire guns with artillery fire.

Seeing that the attacking tanks had stopped, the Japanese troops on the position thought that the rapid-fire guns had worked, and excitedly accelerated the loading speed of the shells. And Ishii Shindasa, who was in command, was also thinking about how to deal with the more Shina chariots in the back. At this moment, the on-board guns of the stopped tank vehicles opened fire almost simultaneously, and the shells flew directly towards the positions of several 37-caliber rapid-fire guns.

In the surprised eyes of Ishii Shindasa and the Japanese soldiers, the eight 37-caliber rapid-fire guns were drowned in gunpowder smoke together with the gunners next to them, and when the gunpowder smoke cleared slightly, Ishii Shindasa saw that the eight 37-caliber rapid-fire guns had become a pile of scrap metal, and the parts flew everywhere, and the soldiers around the gun emplacements fell. After scolding, the sudden blow to the angry Ishii Shinosa scolded a few times, "Yaga!" After scolding, seeing that the Shina chariot was driving towards his position as if nothing had happened, Ishii Shindazuo realized that the armor-piercing shells of the 37-caliber rapid-fire gun did not work at all.

Seeing that the chariots of the Shina people were getting closer and closer, Shindasa Ishii, who was also an experienced officer, ordered the forward troops to let go of the chariots of the Shina people and concentrate their fire on the infantry of the Shina who followed behind the chariots. The Cheetah heavy tanks and LT-38 medium tanks rushed into the third line of Japanese positions without encountering any resistance. As soon as they passed, the Japanese army blocked the gap after they broke through.

The task of the tanks ahead was to break through the position and tear open the gap. Therefore, these tanks that broke into the Japanese positions were just constantly attacking forward, regardless of what was behind them. After the twenty light German-made No. 2 tanks in the back were intercepted by the Japanese army, they still rushed forward. The Japanese light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars on the positions opened fire at the same time, and the dense fire hit these tanks and vehicles with a clanging sound.

The No. 2 light tank was not afraid of the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, but its side and rear armor was thin, and the shells fell directly on it, which could still blow up the armor and injure the machine inside. The Japanese fired at the four No. 2 tanks, one of which caught fire behind it, detonating the ammunition in the car, causing the entire tank to explode.

The blocked tanks are also desperately counterattacking, but there are only a dozen tanks, and some are weak. At this moment, dozens of heavy armored vehicles and officers and soldiers of the 871st Regiment rushed up behind them. These heavy armored vehicles were also equipped with tank guns, and after they also participated in the attack, the ferocious fire of these dozens of tank guns and vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns was added, and the Japanese fire on the position was suppressed at once.

The No. 2 tank and the heavy armored vehicle took the opportunity to continue the assault, and the officers and men of the 871st Regiment also covered the combat vehicle to follow the combat vehicle to attack forward. The closer they got to the Japanese position, the denser the Japanese bullets became, and the Japanese army also learned wisely, letting go of tanks and armored vehicles, and the shells and bullets all rushed towards the 871st Regiment. Under the desperate resistance of the Japanese army, the 871st Regiment also suffered casualties.

The regiment commander Wei Shaofeng saw that the Japanese army's firepower turned to him, and snorted coldly and said: "Dog X.'s little Japan, Lao Tzu's troops in front have not opened, and now Lao Tzu wants to let you taste the strength of Lao Tzu's troops." If I don't give you a little bit of power, you won't know that Ma Wangye has three eyes!" After speaking, he turned his head and said to the people around him: "Pass the order, the whole regiment will be deployed in the form of a battle group, and under the cover of armored vehicles, it will capture the forward positions of the Japanese army." ”

As the order was conveyed downward, the formation of the 871st Regiment changed, and the attack formation that was originally based on the company became an attack formation with the battle group as the unit. This kind of attack formation, which is based on combat groups, is often practiced by the 210th Division in peacetime, and it is now extremely proficient in using it. A combat group is basically a squad, with 10 to 12 people, and there are heavy firefighters, assaulters, snipers, and other positions with different divisions of labor, which can give full play to their combat effectiveness to the greatest extent possible. At the same time, as soon as several battle groups work together, their attack power will increase exponentially.

Several battle groups, accompanied by a heavy armored vehicle, covered each other, coordinated with each other, and soon approached the forward positions of the Japanese army. In the face of the Chinese army's mercury-like attack, the Japanese troops holding the position were also helpless. Ishii Shindazuo had no choice but to play the trick of human bombing. For a time, Japanese soldiers on the ground were constantly holding explosive packs or cluster grenades, jumping out and shouting slogans and rushing towards tanks and armored vehicles.

Under the attack of the Japanese bombs, more than 10 tanks and armored vehicles were damaged and stopped in place, but the Japanese army also suffered heavy losses, and after the armored vehicles and the 871st Regiment rushed to the forward positions one after another, the Japanese forward positions were finally torn apart. As soon as the gap was torn open, Wei Shaofeng immediately ordered the three battalions to attack on both sides of the gap, and while continuing to expand the gap, he also prevented the Japanese counterattack.

The ground of the 18th Wing was broken through in a short period of time, which made the brigade commander, Major General Hanaya Masa, hard to believe. But when he saw the heavy tanks of the Chinese army rushing into the position, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. Major General Hanaya Masashi had already felt that it was difficult to stop the Shina army in this position, but out of the pride of the Imperial Japanese Army, he still wanted to make a last stand!
