After the 10 piercing and armor shells opened the skylights in several bunkers, the Japanese troops on the position noticed that they had sneaked to the Chinese troops more than 200 meters away, and just as the Japanese turned their guns to the approaching Chinese troops, the five Gaoping dual-purpose twin heavy machine guns used for cover opened fire. The tongue of fire of the heavy machine gun spat out more than a foot long at the muzzle, and the bullets of the 14.5 caliber heavy machine gun pierced the sandbag bunker like a cannonball, killing and wounding the Japanese soldiers behind the sandbags.

Naturally, the officers and men of the 1st Battalion would not miss such an opportunity, and the various attack groups did their best to break through to the Japanese positions. The distance of more than 200 meters was less than a minute for the well-trained soldiers of the first battalion to advance with all their might, and soon one by one the attack groups approached the Japanese position. Dozens of meters away, grenades and bombs were thrown behind sandbags.

After a continuous burst of explosions, the assault group broke through to the Japanese position, and then the 2nd Battalion also took the opportunity to rush forward. Behind the sandbags, a Japanese infantry brigade could not withstand the continuous blows at all, and was quickly annihilated, at which point only an hour had passed since the attack of the 2nd Guards Regiment. The sandbag fortifications were taken down, and the wall was even more unable to withstand the attacks of the guard brigade.

Breaking through the outermost positions of the Japanese army, the 2nd Regiment suffered only a few dozen casualties, and their next attack was the railway station complex, including the waiting room. The construction area of the railway station in Hengyang City is not small, there is a small square within the wall, on both sides of the square are the ticket office, the duty room, the ticket office and other brick structure houses, and the end of the square is the waiting room and the exit.

Now these houses are occupied by the Japanese army, not only have the windows become firing points, but there are also many shooting holes in the walls. During the attack, no Japanese artillery was found, and Tangshan Leopard was ready to use a mixed armored battalion to assist. Out of prudence, the Tangshan Leopard only used four Cheetah heavy tanks, which were not afraid of light artillery attacks, to assist.

As soon as the four tanks crossed the fence of the railway station, the Japanese opened fire on the machine-gun fire points in various houses, and light and heavy machine-gun bullets flew in from all directions, clanging the tank armor. The Japanese machine guns had already calculated the angle of fire, and the dense bullets completely blocked the route of the attack. However, it was four heavy tanks that attacked, and no matter how dense the Japanese bullets were, they were doomed to be useless.

Tanks don't care so much, as long as the machine gun fires the house, they bombard it with a few shots with a vehicle-mounted gun, and then use a vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun to strafe for a while, until there is no movement in the house, and then turn to the next target. Seeing that the situation was not right, the Japanese soldiers who escaped from the houses were mercilessly shot by the heavy machine guns, and there was not a single survivor in ten.

After clearing the houses on both sides of the square, four heavy tanks lined up in the square, and the black holes of their guns were aimed at the last waiting room. There was a squadron of Japanese soldiers in the waiting room, and these Japanese soldiers watched the four steel behemoths turn the black hole towards the muzzle of the gun, and their hearts sank. And just like that, they have not stopped shooting in vain.

The sound of the explosion, mixed with the screams of the Japanese soldiers before dying, made the crew of the tank even more excited. After the four tanks took turns firing five rounds of guns, there was no longer the screams of the Japanese soldiers in the waiting room.

At this time, the officers and men of the first battalion also broke behind the four tanks, and seeing that there was no movement in the waiting room, the commander of the first battalion, He Yuanshan, waved his hand and ordered several attack groups to rush into the waiting room. When the assault teams were ordered to rush into the waiting room, the smoke had not yet cleared, and only a mess could be seen inside the house. Everywhere were fragments of shattered wooden chairs, as well as fallen bricks, among which lay the corpses of Japanese soldiers.

After the soldiers who rushed in made a safe gesture outside the house, more soldiers rushed in, and after a brief search, some soldiers found traces of Japanese troops fleeing towards the platform. He Yuanshan immediately commanded the soldiers to chase them out. As soon as the fighters of one of the assault groups rushed out of the waiting room, bullets were fired, and two of the assault groups were immediately shot and fell to the ground, while the rest of the men quickly retreated.

He Yuanshan touched a window near the platform, looked out from the window, and saw some Japanese soldiers hiding by the railway, setting up weapons and preparing to block the soldiers who rushed out of the waiting room. With a move, a few machine guns were set up in the window, and then a few machine guns used crossfire to suppress the Japanese troops on the side of the railway. Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese were suppressed, the two attack groups rushed out of the waiting room.

The two assault groups that rushed out immediately found shelter, and the fire support of the group set up machine guns and began to shoot, while several other fighters also used accurate marksmanship to snipe the Japanese soldiers. The number of Japanese troops behind the railway was not large, and it was just an infantry squad, with two crooked machine guns, four grenadiers were considered heavy weapons, and the rest were Type 38 rifles.

Such a firepower configuration and the firepower of the first battalion were not at the same level at all, as more and more attack groups rushed out of the waiting room, the number of Japanese troops in this squad became smaller and smaller, and finally after the last Japanese soldier also fell, the battle at the railway station was over, and after cleaning the battlefield, the goal of the guard brigade was directly aimed at the warehouse group behind the railway station.

The warehouse complex is made up of more than a dozen warehouses of various sizes, which share a freight yard next to the freight yard, and a train is still parked on the railway tracks of the freight station. Three of the large warehouses in the warehouse complex are reinforced concrete and relatively sturdy, while the rest are still brick and til. Tangshan Leopard is now in the waiting room, looking at a map of the distribution of warehouse groups provided by the reconnaissance brigade with the two regiment commanders.

After looking at this picture a few times, Tangshan Leopard said: "Two, I've seen this structural diagram, how to attack the two." Wei Song opened his mouth and said: "Rotary seat, what is there to say about this, still use heavy tanks to take the lead, our second regiment follows behind the heavy tanks, and pushes forward flat, I don't believe that the houses of these warehouses can withstand the bombardment of artillery fire." ”

Tangshan Leopard didn't say anything about Wei Song's words, and turned his gaze to Sun Linhai, the head of the third regiment. Sun Linhai's temperament is not so urgent, and he considers things more carefully and comprehensively, and Tangshan Leopard also likes to listen to Sun Linxi's opinions when he encounters trouble. Sun Linxi looked at the structural diagram again before saying to Tangshan Leopard: "Brigade seat, the Japanese army has concentrated the strength of two infantry brigades in the warehouse group, we are attacking head-on, not to mention how much we lose, I am afraid that the difficulty will not be small, especially these three large warehouses with concrete structures, I am afraid it is not easy to take down." ”

At this time, Wei Song interjected: "If you don't attack from the front, what other methods do you say?" Sun Linhai glanced at Wei Song and said, "Brigade seat, we might as well attack from the left and right sides of the warehouse group at the same time." The Japanese troops on the left and right basically did not have a shooting hole, and there would not be much resistance to attacking from both sides. Besides, there are small warehouses with brick structures on both sides, which should be easy to take down under the fire of tank vehicles. Taking these small warehouses, there are only three large warehouses left, and it will be much easier to attack. ”

Sun Linhai's words made Tangshan Leopard's eyes light up, and he looked at the structure diagram a few more times and said: "Old Sun, your idea is not bad! Okay, just do it according to your method! You lead the three regiments to attack from the right, and the second regiment to attack from the left. Wei Song, you still have to learn more from Lao Sun and correct your frizzy problems. Tangshan Leopard's last sentence was said to Wei Song, and Wei Song's face turned red.

An hour later, Wei Song led the 2nd Regiment to the left of the warehouse complex, and the 2nd Regiment was accompanied by two heavy tanks and three light tanks, as well as two Gaoping dual-purpose twin heavy machine guns. The third regiment was also led by Sun Linhai to the right of the warehouse group, and the same number of tanks and Gaoping dual-purpose twin heavy machine guns were used to cooperate with the attack of the third regiment.

On the front of the warehouse group, Tangshan Leopard personally led a team of soldiers drawn from other units to carry out a feint attack on it. In order to attract the attention and firepower of the Japanese army, the howitzer and artillery battalions also launched an artillery bombardment on the warehouse complex in the front. At the beginning of the fight, the grenades and artillery of Tangshan Leopard opened fire, which really attracted the attention and firepower of the Japanese army.

The mixed armored battalion still had eight heavy armored vehicles and ten light armored vehicles left, and in order to make the feint look more realistic, Tangshan Leopard mobilized four heavy armored vehicles to participate in the feint. Unexpectedly, as soon as the armored vehicle moved, it also attracted artillery fire from the Japanese army. When the Japanese artillery sounded, it really startled the Tangshan leopard, and when he calmed down and heard that the Japanese army was using small cannons, he was relieved.

The Japanese army, whether it is a Type 92 infantry gun or a mortar, will not cause much damage to heavy armored vehicles, but the Tangshan Leopard will not allow these small guns of the Japanese army to exist. As a result, the Tangshan Leopard gave an order, and the howitzer and artillery battalions immediately adjusted their guns and aimed their targets at the Japanese artillery positions. These small guns of the Japanese army were the opponents of the howitzer and artillery battalions, and in ten minutes, the howitzer and artillery battalions completely silenced the Japanese small artillery.

After the frontal feint began, the 2nd and 3rd regiments moved at the same time. Several tanks fired at the side wall of the warehouse, and then blew the side wall open, and the Japanese troops in the warehouse were firing back at the front, and they did not expect that someone would kill them on the side.

The 2nd and 3rd Regiments each quickly captured one of the warehouses, and the other warehouses did not realize that the Chinese troops had been killed from the flank. The 2nd and 3rd regiments continued to take another warehouse, and only then did the Japanese troops in the rest of the warehouses realize that something was wrong. However, the blocking attacks of the warehouse group were all frontal, and there was really no way to deal with the Chinese troops attacking from the flank for a while.

However, at this time, after the 2nd and 3rd regiments blew open the side walls with artillery fire, they often encountered targeted resistance from the Japanese troops in the warehouse, and it was not as easy to get hold of the first two warehouses. In such a situation, casualties among soldiers are inevitable.
