Several off-road vehicles and 30mm machine cannons on armored personnel carriers immediately aimed at the Japanese artillery positions and could open fire at any time.

"fire!"

A platoon leader of a mechanized infantry regiment immediately commanded his armored vehicles and off-road vehicles to fire.

"Split, sprinkle, sprinkle..."

Several 30mm machine cannons fired together. The shells fired were basically high-explosive bombs and basically hit the target. All the Japanese artillery soldiers who were hit were blown to pieces and turned into a bunch of blood mist. The Japanese's broken limbs and arms were flying all over the sky.

The Japanese corps captain who was watching the battle on the east bank of the Tang River saw that his artillery position was attacked, his eyes immediately became bigger and his pupils contracted sharply, which was too unbelievable.

Unexpectedly, the small-caliber artillery of the 36th Army had such a long range. Could it be that the machine guns mentioned in the past, and the machine guns equipped by the 36th Army?

The Japanese Regiment Captain was a little regretful at this time. He was really careless. He only thought of heavy artillery, aircraft and tanks equipped by the 36th Group Army, and ignored these small-caliber machine guns.

In the regretful eyes of the Japanese corps captain, the Japanese artillery position was hit by more and more 30mm machine cannons. In less than a few minutes, the shells on the Japanese artillery position began to explode.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Several violent explosions sounded on the Japanese artillery positions. All the Japanese mortars and Type 92 infantry artillery were blown away by the violent explosion. The Japanese who did not have time to escape were also killed or injured.

Seeing that the Japanese artillery positions were removed and there was no threat of Japanese artillery fire, many soldiers immediately felt relieved, and when they shot, they were even more relaxed, and even the shooting accuracy was greatly improved.

The commander of the 5th Column applauded repeatedly when he saw the Japanese artillery position being blown away.

At this time, all the armored vehicles and off-road vehicles of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment, the 30mm cannon on the vehicle began to attack the Japanese fire points one by one, and began to clear the fire points at a fixed point.

Although the Japanese saw their artillery positions being taken down, they relied on Tanghe to block the 36th Army and their mission was to defend and prevent the troops of the 36th Army from crossing the river, so the Japanese also fought back fiercely, and their morale was still high for the time being.

After more than ten minutes of fighting between the two sides, the battle immediately became fierce.

Seeing that the Japanese were afraid of death and braved their own fierce artillery fire and fought back fiercely on the other side of the river, several senior executives of the 5th Column did not dare to be careless. Before completing the two sides, both sides might be shooting at each other.

Fortunately, many armored vehicles and off-road vehicles are now driving to the banks of the Tang River. These vehicles not only provide strong firepower support to the shooting soldiers, but also cover the soldiers' shooting. These vehicles are good covers, and the Japanese bullets can basically not do anything to these vehicles.

"Where is the sniper? Kill the Type 92 heavy machine gun on the opposite side."

A captain company commander saw that there was a Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun on the other side of the river, more than 400 meters away from him, shooting there. A few bullets had hit him.

Now, all the infantry companies under the columns are equipped with two sniper rifles. Originally, Zhang Yunfei wanted each infantry squad to be equipped with a squad machine gun and a sniper rifle, but now the sniper rifle is seriously insufficient. For the time being, only each company is equipped with two such sniper rifles. Perhaps, in another year and a half, this goal will be achieved.

A sniper, when he heard the order of his company commander, immediately discovered the Japanese's Type 92 heavy machine gun under the guidance of his observer. Through the 4x optical scope, the Japanese's expression could be clearly seen.

The sniper, obviously also an experienced veteran, was very calm and carefully aimed at the Japanese archer and gently pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" There was a crisp sound.

The Japanese Sagittarius in the distance suddenly blossomed and fell to the ground. The 92 heavy machine gun suddenly became silent.

When a Japanese Japanese saw that the Japanese archer was killed, hesitated for a moment and immediately started to fill the seat, pushing the Japanese archer who was so dead, ready to continue shooting.

"Bang!" Another crisp sound.

The Japanese man who was just about to shoot was also shot and lay softly on the Type 92 heavy machine gun, bright red blood flowing on the machine gun.

The Japanese next to him saw that another Japanese were shot in the head, and knew that this was definitely not a stray bullet. There might be a sniper from the 36th Army on the other side of the river.

A Japanese soldier, who happened to see this scene, immediately shouted in horror: "Baga! There is a Chinese sniper."

Seeing that the sniper began to show his power, the captain's company commander also applauded repeatedly.

The Japanese on the other side, under the attack of the 5th Column mortars, 30mm machine guns, a large number of machine guns and snipers, persisted for less than 30 minutes, and their firepower gradually weakened and tended to be suppressed by firepower.

The Japanese corps leader immediately became irritated when he saw that his troops were in danger of being suppressed, especially when he saw some machine gunners being named one after another by snipers from the 36th Army opposite.

The face of the Japanese corps leader gradually became ugly, and he gradually became worried about the tasks assigned by him. He didn't know how long he could hold on and whether he could wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

East bank of Tang River.

The commander of the 5th Column who was watching the battle saw many snipers gradually entering the state. Nearly half of the Japanese machine guns on the other side have now been silent, and the Japanese's fierce firepower is gradually suppressed by their own troops.

"Okay! Great!"

The commander of the 5th Column applauded happily. Unexpectedly, the sniper played a great role at this time. If I had known this, it would have been better to mobilize the snipers from several other regiments.

At present, the snipers in each column of the 36th Army are in groups of two, commonly known as the two-person sniper team, and are all served by two experienced veteran comrades.

The two snipers each hold different positions, a sniper (main shooter) and a sightseeing hand. The sniper is responsible for aiming and shooting the target, while the sightseeing hand is responsible for observation and guarding.

These two people are a well-trained group and usually train as a group. Because the group members have formed a tacit understanding during long-term cooperative training, they now seem to be handy on the battlefield.

What's more, Zhang Yunfei personally inquired about the training of the sniper team. Zhang Yunfei also personally guided the training of the sniper team. Many of the training of snipers in various columns are instructors of the special forces team members, so the training of snipers retains a lot of Zhang Yunfei's colors.

The training of snipers also combines many advanced experiences in later generations. The sniper teams trained are also of high level. Not only are they strong in battlefield survivability, but they are also basically shot without any bullets. When they hit Japanese devils, they basically shot one shot at a time.

Now, seeing that the Japanese's firepower was gradually suppressed, the commander of the 5th Column personally ordered: "Order comrades to start crossing the river!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers began to prepare to cross the river. Some of the temporarily collected small wooden boats were pushed down by the soldiers. Each small wooden boat had at least several soldiers, and a slightly larger small wooden boat, with more than a dozen or even twenty soldiers on it.

The soldiers cooperated tacitly, some were holding AK-47 assault rifles to guard, and some were rowing. Everyone lay tight on the boat, minimizing the target, and began to slowly row to the other side of the river.

Because it is summer now, some comrades with better water properties simply put a wooden board or a piece of log into the water. They held the board with one hand to maintain buoyancy, and fucked the AK-47 assault rifle with the other hand, and kept paddling on the other side of the river nearly two hundred meters away.

When the other comrades saw that the soldiers of the infantry regiment began to cross the river, they immediately increased their firepower and provided cover for everyone. Fortunately, most of the Japanese guns were silent, and they were shooting only the sporadic guns of some Type 38 rifles.

When the Japanese on the other side saw that the soldiers began to cross the river, they immediately pointed their guns into the river and kept firing at the soldiers in the river. The Japanese's shooting still caused certain casualties to the soldiers.

Seeing his comrades dying under the gun of the Japanese, everyone felt very painful and uncomfortable, and some soldiers even roared loudly.

"Little Japanese! I'm a gangster!!!"

The shooting sound of "da, da, da" suddenly made a big fuss. Many Japanese devils were killed on the other side.

A few minutes later, after dozens of casualties, nearly half of the nearly a thousand soldiers crossing the river had reached the center of the river, and in a few minutes, they could reach the other side.

Just now, seeing many of his comrades die, these soldiers crossing the river have long been red-eyed. Now, once they reach the center of the river, they are much closer to the Japanese, and the Japanese have entered the effective range of the AK-47 assault rifle.

On the small wooden boat in the middle of the river, many soldiers began to aim at the Japanese. Some soldiers who were crossing the river with wooden boards or logs were also shooting with the ak-47 assault rifle with one hand. With so many ak-47 assault rifles shooting, the Japanese casualties rose sharply.

Many snipers kept shooting. A Japanese devil was either shot in the head or hit in the chest. The snipers basically shot one by one when they shot the Japanese devils.

The soldiers crossing the river saw that they were getting closer and closer to the other shore, and they became more vigorous when rowing the boat and moved faster. It would take no time to land.
