Boom... Hu Dali felt the tank shock and looked out from his lookout. Several Japanese soldiers were operating a 37 war defense gun to shoot at them. He smiled coldly. This kind of anti-tank gun could not do anything to the thick shell of the concave tank. Now he was going to deal with a cannon found in the distance.

"Aim! Let it go!" The tank's huge body shook, and the muzzle sprayed out of flames. The shells came out of the chamber. A ball of black smoke burst out from a distance. Hu Dali cursed quietly, obviously, the explosion point was still a distance away from the target.

"Get on the shell!" Hu Dali's eyes kept on his sight. The four people in the car had a clear division of labor. He was the commander of the car." He was also the aiming hand. The tank was moving horizontally. He felt very awkward about this way of combat. He couldn't help but think of a sentence that the instructor said in the Armored Soldier School, "If the tank cannot rush up, it is better to thrust a machine gun."

But now their tanks were tied up, and the Japanese used a very stupid method, but now it proved that they were very effective. The tanks had to stop shooting against the Japanese's turret, and suffered huge losses as a result.

"The infantry rushed over!", the driver is a Hunanese." The accent is filled with a grand Hunan. The members of the tank come from all over the country, the gunner is from Shaanxi, and he cursed and took out a shell from the ammunition depot and put it into the barrel. The machine gunner Xiaojiang is from Jiangxi.

Hu Dali had actually seen a lieutenant and a dozen soldiers rushed through the trench and into the Japanese positions. Several Japanese rushed out of the trench that had been wrecked and launched a counterattack on them.

On this side of the trench, a soldier hid in the crater, holding a rifle in his arms, "the whole body was curled, and two figures rushed into the crater from behind. The two soldiers didn't even look at the shaking soldiers, but just watched, and jumped out and rushed into the anti-tank trench.

At this moment, there were already many soldiers in the anti-tank trench. They either took ladders or used bayonets. Some of them did not throw down the engineer shovels. They used engineer shovels and quickly made footbed holes on the wall of the trench, and then climbed up the holes.

"Why are you hiding from this? Get up! Get up!"

Zhu Haitao looked up and saw a major slapping the helmet on his head with force. His eyes were filled with panic. Nuonuo did not dare to speak, his body moved slightly, the major came to his ear and shouted loudly: "You can only wait for death when you stay here! rush over! You can only survive if you rush over!", "Yes, yes" Chang Haitao was just answering based on instinct.

"It's the first time I'm going to the battlefield." The major's tone was much relaxed. Zhu Haitao nodded in panic. "The major smiled at him and said calmly: "That's right. The Japanese were born by their parents. Just one shot. "It's still a brain breakdown, it's no big deal."

Following the major, several soldiers were hiding in the crater. The crater was very large and several people hid inside without any crowding. The soldiers observed above slipped down and reported that the Japanese army was fighting back from depth, and the troops' offensive was blocked.

The major patted Zhu Haitao on the shoulder and signaled him to follow him. Then he climbed up and observed for a while, then rushed out. Seeing the people around him rushing out one by one, Zhu Haitao felt bitter and irritated. But when he saw them rushing out without hesitation, he felt a little envious. He looked back and saw a large number of troops coming from behind.

It was impossible to go back. He saw with his own eyes that two soldiers from the previous echelon fled back and were shot on the spot by their company commander. Before the war, the company commander announced the battlefield discipline and was executed on the spot when they retreated and fled.

Zhu Haitao gritted his teeth, rushed out of the crater, ran all the way, almost jumping into the anti-tank trench with his eyes closed. After entering the anti-tank trench, Zhu Haitao was truly relieved. The major commanded the soldiers in the trench into an array and climbed upwards. He asked Zhu Haitao to follow him.

Zhu Haitao had just climbed into the trench. A bullet flew over his head, which scared him to the ground immediately. After a while, someone pushed him behind him. He hurriedly got up and rushed into the crater in front.

Many soldiers jumped in from behind one after another. The major had long since run away. Zhu Haitao rushed forward with a few people. The Japanese position had already been destroyed. The violent shelling and bombing almost plowed the entire position, and the trenches were filled with a layer of soft soil. The bodies of Japanese soldiers were on the position.

After rushing for a distance, "I don't know how many Japanese men came out from there" screamed and rushed towards them with bayonets. Zhu Haitao almost instinctively raised his gun to shoot. The naked Japanese man fell to the ground with the gunshot, and a large amount of bright red blood appeared on his chest.

"What are you doing when you stand stupidly! Go!" A sergeant coming up from behind pushed Zhu Haitao down. "Wake up Zhu Haitao, who was in a daze, then followed them and rushed forward.

"Good! Go in!" Chi Fengcheng shouted excitedly. After the Japanese artillery stopped, he and Qiu Qingquan established a temporary command center behind the two embankments of the canal. In the telescope, the blue sky and white sun flag was advancing towards the depth of the Japanese army.

But Qiu Qingquan couldn't laugh. The tanks participating in the attack did not retreat. To this day, more than a dozen were burning. If they continued to lose money, when they hit Liaocheng, their tanks would probably be completely lost.

Qiu Qingquan decisively ordered the stop of the attack. "The troops entered a defensive state. Chi Fengcheng also calmed down from the excitement. The attacking troops suffered too much loss. In the previous attack, Shen Xia, the commander of the shackles, personally led the follow-up troops to attack, and then broke through the Japanese defense line. "Chi Fengcheng estimated that the loss of the hukou regiment was nearly half.

The loss of the first line of defense alone was so great that Chi Fengcheng felt a little uncomfortable, so he readjusted and chose the direction of the attack again.

Song Xilian on the other side of the canal was also considering this issue. Song Xilian did not believe that the Japanese army had built such a strict defense system in the entire Liaochengchi District. After Qiu Qingquan and Chi Fengcheng returned from the other side, the three of them discussed and decided to change the frontal attack to a feint. The 31st Division troops crossed the river, detoured northward, and attacked Liaocheng from the direction of the Daokoupu.

The ** team stopped the attack, which made Yoshito Masai breathe a little relieved. The Japanese army suffered huge casualties. Yoshito Masai set off two squadrons on the front line. None of these two squadrons returned to the second-line position and were all killed in battle. A squadron that was reinforced from the second-line position was also "also all died in battle. The 88 anti-aircraft guns deployed here and the heavy artillery" suffered half of the losses.

In the eyes of the Masaoto people, the "China Team" threatened the most not the tanks, but the Air Force. The heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns lost by the Air Force were mainly destroyed by the Air Force.

However, this battle also played another role. Before the war, Yoshito Masai and Toyama Toshima looked down on Kazuka Nakajima. Not only because of his qualifications, but more importantly, both of them believed that Kazuka Nakajima did not dare to attack the Chinese army by fighting three imperial troops. This was simply a great humiliation for the imperial army, but this battle made Yoshito Masai begin to look at Kazuka Nakajima again.

Nakajima Katsuya accurately judged the attack direction of the Chinese army and used the stupidest method to tie up the tanks of the Chinese army. What Masai Yoshito admired the most was the use of heavy artillery and 88mm anti-aircraft guns. When Nakajima Katsuya asked to build a hidden artillery cave here, Masai Yoshito and Toyama Tori once ridiculed it. It was only because of the strong demands of the Masai San and personally inspected them that they had to obey.

Now this kind of hidden artillery cave is actually a semi-blocking "digging into the ground, covering it with branches and tents and floating soil. Usually, it is empty here. When the Chinese army appears, the truck pulls heavy artillery and anti-aircraft cannons" and then the truck leaves. The infantry pushes the cannons into the Tibetan artillery cave. After the shelling, the infantry pulls the heavy artillery and anti-aircraft cannons out of the Tibetan artillery cave and hangs it onto the truck.

This method can avoid the China Army's artillery fire and counterattack, but it is difficult to hide the heavy artillery and anti-aircraft artillery that have been lost in the hands of the Air Force.

The Chinese army stopped attacking. The first phase of the combat goal was finally completed. Masai Yoshito put down his telescope and turned his head to tell the Chief of Staff that he would report to the Atsushimi Command that the Chinese army would stop attacking.

"Kun Nakajima, our first step has been completed. Should we let the First Division of the Tanks attack? First defeat the 22nd Army of the China?" After receiving the report, Ao Jingsan asked Nakajima Katsuya. In Nakajima Katsuya's Jirong, he first used defense to consume the strength of the China army and defeated the morale of the China army, and then used the First Division of the Tanks to counterattack.

Now, not only the offensive of the mechanized First Army attacking the Western Front has been curbed, but the Twenty-Two Army attacking from the south has also been curbed. However, the transition to the counterattack of Kazuya Nakajima does not agree.

"General, it's too early to assert that the Chinese army is not consumed enough." Nakajima Kangyan's expression was not relaxed at all. On the contrary, he was a little worried: "The battlefield in Liaocheng is actually part of the Taishan defense line. The ultimate goal of this battle is to defend Shandong and Jinan. However, due to the loss of Jiaodong, the Chinese army has actually gone around behind the Taishan defense line. The Taishan defense line has been in name only. Even if we defeat the current China army, the war situation in Shandong is irreversible." There are three sub-sophisticated three

He was a little stunned when he heard this. The excitement in his heart suddenly disappeared. If they won a tactical victory, then Jiaodong's defeat was a strategic failure, and the Chinese army was able to attack Jinan. Once Jinan was lost, the Taishan defense line would no longer have any effect. Moreover, the heavy army group gathered there would be trapped in the encirclement of the Chinese army. "In this way, we must defend Liaocheng, otherwise the Gu army would all fall into the encirclement of the Chinese army." The expression of the Mo Jing San became serious.

Nakajima Kangjian shook his head: "General, have you not noticed it? The Chinese army actually has the strength to do it. The Chinese army, which is blocked on the western front, must detour northward. We can prevent them from detour in a small range, but what if they want to take a large range? For example, to the north of the Majia River, transfer the tank army to the north of the Majia River, go upstream and go straight to De County, how can we deal with it?"

The Mo Jingsan was completely stunned. Before the war, they had imagined that the Chinese army would be detoured. But this was just a detour against the Liaocheng battlefield. But once the Chinese army set up Liaocheng and ignored the "Imperial Army that left here" and directly took Dexian, the important town of the Jinpu Line, the entire battle situation would be under their control. Not only was the entire 12th Army surrounded, but their army was also surrounded on both sides of the Yellow River.

While Kang Jian of Nakajima and Yumo Jingsan were discussing in the command center, Song Xilian on the west bank of the canal received an order from Zhuang Jihua, ordering him to besiege Liaocheng with the Second Army and the 22nd Army. The 101 Army and the Mechanized First Army immediately headed north to cross the Majia River, and met with the guerrilla corps led by Chen G, the New Eighth Army, the New 110th Division, and the Sun Dianying of Pang Bingxun. Going to Linqing and Xiajin, if possible, you will capture Dexian. If it is impossible, go south along the Jinpu Line and attack Jinan. In addition, in order to ensure the strength of the besiege Liaocheng, the Qing San Army and the Qing Fourth Army will cross the Yellow River north.!~!
