Chapter 578: Capture the Position!

After 10 minutes.

The artillery of the new regiment 10 150-mm heavy guns, 12 105-mm howitzers, and nearly 30 mortars fired on time at the devil's position.

Although the 150-mm howitzer was bombarded continuously, it was fully capable of destroying the thickened pillboxes and turrets after the devils cut corners.

But this time it is a long-range shelling, and there is no way to guarantee that the 150-mm howitzer can hit the pillboxes and turrets of the devils with every shell, and there is no way to guarantee the accuracy.

The devils of the 10th division were supported by mountain artillery and howitzers, so the artillery of the heavy artillery battalion did not have a chance to push the 150-mm howitzers to within a few hundred meters and aim at the thickened pillboxes and turrets of the devils and fire directly.

Because it is a few hundred meters away from the devil's thickened pillbox and turret, it will definitely be discovered by the devil's artillery observers.

Before the artillery could mount the 150-mm howitzer, the devil's mountain artillery came over.

With the explosion like a landslide, the devil's position seemed to be flattened, torn to pieces, and drowned in a sea of fire and smoke.

But Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others all know that this artillery fire is very strong, but the lethality is limited, and the devils and puppet soldiers are hiding in the tunnel.

But what they don't know is that the devil's tunnel is not deep and unstable.

Under the continuous bombardment of 150-mm heavy artillery, two tunnels collapsed, and the devils and puppet soldiers hiding inside were buried alive.

The devils and puppet soldiers in the collapsed tunnel were also uncomfortable, and the 150-mm high-explosive grenade exploded on the ground above their heads, like thunder exploding in their ears.

Some devils and puppet soldiers were shocked and bled out.

In the final analysis, this is the first time that the devil has used pit and anticline tactics on the battlefield, and he has not mastered the essence of pit tactics.

Under the cover of artillery fire, 4 Leopard tanks lined up in battle formation, another 4 Spitfire tanks followed, and the soldiers of the 4th company maintained a three-three battle formation and advanced towards the devil's position.

The attacking tanks approached the Devil's position, and the Devil's mountain artillery opened fire in the distance, targeting the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

Mortars and infantry guns on the anti-slope were also firing, targeting the infantry behind the tank.

The devils and puppet infantry came out of the tunnel one after another, and under the fire of mortar shells, they fired at the tanks and infantry of the new regiment.

The battle is at a fever pitch.

Rumble!

A 75-mm shell hit a Leopard tank, and the whole tank shook and a cloud of flames and smoke rose up.

However, this shell hit not the roof of the turret of the tank, but the inclined armor of the front.

With a backhand blow from the tank gun, a high-explosive shell flew out instantly, and with a bang, a 37-mm anti-tank gun hidden on the flank, and three devil artillery soldiers around it suddenly flew into the sky.

The M2 heavy machine gun in the tank was spitting tongues of fire, and in the distance, there were also new regiments of fighters with light machine guns and heavy machine guns, suppressing the devil's fire point.

Two Leopard tanks carried two 75mm mountain guns, and another Spitfire had its tracks blown off and stopped in place.

The two tankmen inside lifted the hatch and jumped out of the tank, and the devil's mountain artillery aimed at that area to launch a cluster shelling.

Not long after, the Spitfire tank was hit by several 75mm shells, the fuel inside exploded, and a cloud of orange-red mushrooms rose up, igniting a skyrocketing fire.

Fortunately, the 2 tankers withdrew quickly, otherwise there would be no bones left.

7 tanks finally approached the forward positions of the devils.

At this time, the mountain artillery group in the rear of the devil had stopped firing, because if the cannon was fired again, the devil and the puppet army would be injured by mistake.

There were devils who came and wanted to blow up the tank with explosives, but they were either broken in two by the heavy machine guns on board, or they were beaten into a sieve with rifles or submachine guns by the infantry who followed the tank.

Knowing that it was dead, the devil jumped up from the position and launched a counter-charge at the tank.

At this time, the Satan Spitfire Tank, which had been following behind the Leopard Tank, came to the flank, accompanied by a fire dragon erupting out, and more than a dozen devils and puppet soldiers who were rushing down from the position suddenly collided with the flames head-on.

"Ahhh

Immediately afterwards, an incomparably miserable cry came from the mouths of the devils and puppet soldiers who were wrapped in flames.

The other devils and puppet soldiers had never seen a tank that could breathe fire, and then saw their teammates who were screaming and rolling on the ground and wailing, and they suddenly lost the courage to resist and fled back to their positions.

The other two Spitfires, under the cover of infantry and Leopard tanks, each approached the Devil's pillbox and turret.

The tankman turned the turret, aimed the flamethrower at the devil's bunker and turret, and then pressed the flamethrower's firing button without hesitation.

Two pillars of fire suddenly erupted from the gun's muzzle, stretching towards the devil's bunker and turret.

Whether it is the size of the fire pillar or the range, the Spitfire tank is better than the individual flamethrower, the fire column sprays more than 60 meters away, and the flames envelop the two turrets and pillboxes in an instant.

In the next second, the machine-gun fire in the pillboxes and turrets stopped abruptly, and was replaced by the heart-rending Japanese screams of the devils.

The Spitfire Tank continues to breathe fire, causing more flames to enter the bunkers and turrets through the firing holes.

The Spitfire tank contains the same amount of napalm as the individual flamethrower canisters.

It's a new type of gelatinous gasoline, and the great thing about it is that it sticks wherever it is sprayed.

Moreover, the Satan Spitfire tank was equipped with a Ronsen-style flamethrower, and the flames penetrated deep into the pillboxes and turrets, and more and more Japanese-style screams rang out, which was terrifying.

In the bunkers and turrets, there are all devils, there are no puppet troops, and they are all officers and elites of devils.

Because the devil officers and elites felt that it was safer in the bunkers and turrets than in the tunnels.

Although the Eighth Route Army had flamethrowers, there were positional fortifications around them, and the Eighth Route Flamethrowers might not be able to get close to the pillboxes and turrets.

And the devil felt that the tanks of the Eighth Route Army could not penetrate the defenses of the pillboxes and turrets, so they were in the bunkers and turrets.

But the devils never thought that the tanks of the Eighth Route Army would breathe fire?

"Ahhh

Immediately afterwards, the devils in the bunker and turret screamed and pushed open the door and ran out, dancing and wailing in pain.

The devils and puppet soldiers who saw this scene in the position suddenly lost the courage to resist.

Even the devil soldiers of the 10th Division, who boasted of the spirit of bushido, gasped one after another, their expressions and eyes were full of horror!

For the devil soldiers, they are not afraid of death, they are afraid of dying in pain like this.

Not to mention the puppet army, the and urine are about to be scared out.

Some devils and puppet soldiers turned around and fled, running wildly, while some devils and puppet soldiers got into the tunnels.

They were tasked with the task that once the battle was unfavorable and the Eighth Route Army had captured its position, they could withdraw into the tunnel and wait for reinforcements.

As a bunker and a gun tower were cleared, and most of the devils and puppet soldiers suffered casualties, the battle was coming to an end.

The infantry and tanks covered each other to enter the devil's position to prevent the devil from dying with the tank with explosives.

Under the cover of the infantry, the flamethrower looked for the mouth of the devil's tunnel, and aimed at the mouth of the devil's tunnel to pull the trigger of the ignition.

The fire dragon instantly rushed into the tunnel, and immediately after, an extremely terrible scream came from the tunnel.

The Pyro is one of the most dangerous troops, after all, the flamethrower has a short attack range and lacks protection, as a flamethrower, you need to carry a fuel tank on your back to fight, and if you are not careful, you will be martyred, and the scene is terrible.

In the case of a single bunker or turret as before the attack, using smoke grenades to obscure the Devil's view of the Heavy will allow the Pyro to get close to the bunker and turret.

But now, with the devils building fortifications and digging tunnels around the turrets and bunkers, it is not so easy for the Pyros to get close to the bunkers and turrets.

As the flamethrowers breathe fire into the tunnels, more and more devils and puppet soldiers hiding in the tunnels are burned into roast pigs.

In the end, in the face of the terrifying flames, the remaining devils and puppet soldiers in the pit chose to lay down their arms and surrender.

……

Rear, 1st battalion headquarters.

In the field of view of the telescope, under the cover of 4 Leopard tanks and 4 Satan tanks, the four companies took their positions in less than half an hour.

Zhang Dabiao, the deputy battalion commander and the instructor all had a look of surprise in their expressions and eyes.

They have already seen the power of the Leopard tank, and this Spitfire tank is the first time they have seen it.

"This Spitfire is a bit powerful!"

"Leader, how much did you get from Advisor Chen?"

Zhang Dabiao sighed emotionally, glanced at Chen Feng, and then looked at Li Yunlong.

The most difficult part of attacking this position is how to deal with the thickened pillboxes and turrets of the devils, and the heavy machine-gun fire in these two fortifications poses a great threat to the infantry.

And the devil's tunnel and anti-cline tactics are not yet mature, and the firepower is not strong compared to the new one, plus the Spitfire tank, so that the position can be taken within half an hour.

"How much does it cost?"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao and said: "This is what I exchanged for 20 150-meter howitzers and 2 203-mm heavy howitzers, a total of 26 Spitfire tanks, and more than a dozen tanks went to the direction of Ping'an County and Anhua County to attack." ”

Although during the attack, the devil's shells gave a chance to a Satan Spitfire tank, but fortunately, the tank crew withdrew in time.

As for the destroyed Spitfire tank, it will naturally be reimbursed by Boss Chen after the war.

"Da Biao, I order!"

"Change a company and continue to attack the devils!"

Looking at the results of the Spitfire tank, Li Yunlong looked very satisfied, if the future battles were like this.

Then the speed of the new regiment's attack, as long as it is greater than the speed of the devil sappers digging tunnels, the new regiment can quickly defeat the Japanese 10th Division.

It is true that the Spitfire did not give the new regiment an overwhelming advantage all at once, but it greatly reduced the casualties of the fighters and increased the speed of capturing the devil's position.

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao straightened up and responded loudly, and then arranged for 5 companies to continue to attack the devil with the cooperation of tanks and howitzers.

At this time, the truck transporting napalm had arrived, and the satanic tank filled with napalm continued to drive to the next devil's position.
