"The devil's artillery fire has been extended, and the first and second platoons of the forward position are ordered, and the little devil's tank is about to come up."

According to Ning Yi, the commander of the third battalion and the first company of the independent regiment guarding the east gate of Qingzhou City, he directly ordered the heralds.

"Yes, company commander."

The heralds of the third battalion and the first company rushed out of the bunker headquarters of the first company in response to the call, braving the rain of bullets to give the order.

And Ning Yi was standing in the company's bunker, staring at the devil soldiers and devil tanks who were ready to attack in the night in the direction of the front of the outer position of the moat outside the East Gate.

Xiao Yan, the deputy commander of the third battalion and the first company on the side, said with a smile: "Lao Ning, don't worry, the first and second platoons are ready." ”。

"Molotov cocktails, anti-tank trenches, anti-tank cones, minefields, and things that form a tight block against the devil's tank are enough to deal with the devil's tank attack."

Ning Yi didn't relax at this time, but said to Xiao Yan: "Old Xiao, after all, it is the devil's tank that accompanies the infantry attack. ”。

"Our independent regiment has fought many old battles with the devils before, but the devils haven't dispatched so many tanks!!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Lao Ning, what you said is true." ”。

And when Xiao Yan was about to continue, Ning Yi suddenly said to Xiao Yan: "Old Xiao, listen, the roar of the tank!" ”。

"Really!!"

Since it was still early in the morning, it was about 4:50 a.m., and the visibility was very poor at night.

After Ning Yi finished speaking, he and Xiao Yan pricked up their ears and listened carefully, less than two hundred meters east of the front of the outer position of the moat, the roar of the rumbling tanks came.

"Lao Ning, there must be more than ten devil tanks!!"

Xiao Yan, who was worthy of being experienced on the battlefield, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and immediately said to Ning Yi.

"That's right!"

Ning Yi nodded, and then immediately said to Xiao Yan: "Old Xiao, you dare to go to a row of positions immediately, I don't worry." ”。

"After all, there are so many devil tanks, I will order the artillery to concentrate fire, and when the time comes, hit the accompanying infantry behind the devil tanks. Cover your first and second platoons of fighters and blow up the devil tank with Molotov cocktails. ”

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, and said with a serious expression: "Okay, Lao Ning." ”。

After speaking, Xiao Yan immediately ran out of the first company of bunker headquarters and rushed to the front of the positions of the first and second platoons.

At this time, as the roar of tanks was getting closer and closer, the soldiers of the first and second platoons of the third battalion of the independent regiment were already ready one by one.

Among them, there was a platoon of fighters who took out Molotov cocktails in their hands, and when the devil tank could rush through the anti-tank cones and anti-tank trenches and minefields, they would blow up the devil's tank with incendiary bottles.

At this time, the commander of the 9th Devil's Brigade, Jio Sato, personally supervised the 18th Infantry Wing of the brigade under his command, and accompanied by ten Devil's 95 light tanks that had already extended their artillery fire, the tanks and infantry launched a charge together.

"Kill, kill!!"

The more than 3,000 devil soldiers of the 18th Infantry Wing, who accompanied the tank charge, shouted the slogan on board and charged, and the cat attacked and advanced to the outer position of the east gate moat.

"Boom, boom!!"

At this time, the two artillery squadrons of the 9th Brigade of the Devil Regiment had twelve Type 92 infantry guns and two artillery squadrons of mortars together to cover the east gate of Qingzhou City with artillery fire to suppress the firepower of the defenders and counterattack.

The sparks of the explosion directly exploded at the east gate of Qingzhou City.

Fortunately, the defenders of the third battalion and one company of the independent regiment at the head of the east gate are actually not much, and they have all been hidden.

However, at a distance of less than 100 meters from the city gate in the East Gate City, Li Yunlong on the eight-story roof on the side of the main street of the East City seemed to be willing to extend the artillery fire until now.

"Damn, in order to break through Qingzhou City, Nakamura Zhenxiong is really willing to pay his blood."

Li Yunlong snorted in surprise and sneered.

"Report to the regiment commander, the third battalion commander reports, ten devil tanks have been visually inspected, and they have entered within 100 meters of the front of the outer position of the moat outside the East Gate, and they are continuing to attack and advance, please instruct."

At this moment, in the temporary headquarters, the staff officer of the mobile regiment headquarters reported to Li Yunlong.

"Call Wang Huaibao back and ask him to command and watch it, and you don't have to report everything."

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said.

"Understood, Captain!!"

The staff officer of the regimental headquarters replied, and then picked up the telephone that had been set up by the temporary headquarters to connect the positions defending the city in various places, and called back to Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, who had rushed to the east gate to conduct command operations.

At this time, Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion of the Independent Regiment, was already in a relatively hidden place at the head of the East Gate City, condescendingly watching the explosion sparks outside the city.

I have to say that the artillery bombardment of Nakamura Zhenxiong was still very fierce.

At night, the east gate of Qingzhou City and its various positions outside the city were blown up by the devil's artillery fire, and the sparks of the explosion illuminated the entire battlefield.

In particular, the devils were willing to shoot a few flares at the defenders' positions outside the East Gate from time to time, so that the attacking devil infantry rushed to the defenders' positions under the cover of tanks.

At this time, the ten tanks of the devils were already in the telescope of Major General Jio Sato, the commander of the 9th Brigade of the devils, and entered within 100 meters of the front of the outer position of the moat outside the East Gate.

However, soon several Devil tanks ran into the way of anti-tank trenches and anti-tank cones.

Hasato Sato, who soon learned that some tanks were blocked by these anti-tank obstacle fortifications, also changed slightly after hearing the report, and said to Kenjiro Kawaguchi, the chief of staff of the brigade on the side, "Kawaguchi-kun, the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army will actually build anti-tank obstacle fortifications. ”

"How is this possible?"

Kenjiro Kawaguchi said in a condensed voice: "Brigade commander, I'm afraid you should learn from foreign military powers, after all, the war has been fought until now, and it is not surprising that someone in the Eighth Route Army will build anti-tank obstacle fortifications." ”。

"However, I also find it strange that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi would build anti-tank obstacle fortifications."

Kenjiro Sato thought for a moment, and then smiled: "Forget it, what do you want to do so much." ”。

"When Li Yunlong is captured alive, I, Haruo Sato, will personally ask him how he built anti-tank obstacle fortifications, hahaha!"

Kenjiro Kawaguchi also laughed when he heard this, "The brigade commander is arrogant!" ”

"Let the accompanying Imperial infantry blow up the anti-tank obstacle fortifications with explosives or grenades, fill in the anti-tank trenches, and within half an hour, you must break through the outer positions of the moat at the east gate and enter the city."

Subsequently, Jio Sato shouted to the devil herald!

"Yes, Brigade Commander!"

The devil herald responded and prepared to leave.

However, before the devil herald could leave, suddenly within 100 meters of the outer position of the moat of the east gate, there was an overwhelming explosion that directly blew up the Devil Type 95 tanks that were rushing and overturned two of them at once.

Four of the devil tanks had already rushed to a place less than 10 meters away from the forward positions held by the first platoon and the second platoon of the third battalion of the independent battalion, but the six tanks behind were directly blown into parts by the force of the explosion of a mine composed of explosive packs and artillery shells buried under the minefield.

The four devil tanks that rushed to the front were then smashed by dense Molotov cocktails until they burned completely, and then directly caught fire and exploded.

In the rear, Nakamura Zhenxiong, who was observing the coordinated attack scene of the infantry on the hillside in front of the military tent headquarters, was dumbfounded, and the ten tanks had been wiped out by the defenders of the forward position of the third battalion and one company of the independent regiment at once.
