Four hundred and twentieth eight chapters attack from both sides
On the east bank of the Tang River, the Japanese saw the soldiers getting closer and closer.
The Japanese discovered that their sparse shooting could not stop the soldiers of the 36th Army from approaching, and many Japanese were panicked.
Some Japanese devils may have been too anxious or too panic and actually stood up, holding the Type 38 rifle, and stood up to aim at the soldiers in the river to shoot.
These Japanese shots were killed immediately because they stood up and had too big targets. Many of them were killed by the soldiers on small wooden boats in the river with the AK-47 assault rifles.
Seeing the Japanese starting to panic, many Japanese officers raised their command swords and commanded the Japanese to calm down. Some Japanese commanders also had a sudden inspiration and began to direct Japanese to shoot with grenade launchers.
At first, only a few Japanese grenade launchers fired grenades into the river, but not long after, almost all Japanese grenade launchers began to fire grenades into the river. The explosion of "boom, boom" sounded in the river, and a few meters high water column was blown up. Some small wooden boats were blown to the left and right, and some small wooden boats were hit by grenades, and the soldiers began to suffer casualties again.
The Japanese's grenade launcher is an ultra-light mortar, which is a curved shooting. The Japanese who fired grenades basically hid in trenches or hid behind sandbags. The soldiers' bullets basically could not hit these Japanese.
Each infantry squad of the Japanese was equipped with 1 to 2 grenade launchers. Now, at least a dozen grenade launchers are firing grenades into the river.
Fortunately, the Japanese are now firing grenades with the artillery fire of the soldiers. They seem a little timid and have a big discount. Moreover, the Japanese are of relatively poor level, so the majority of them are empty, otherwise the soldiers will suffer a lot of casualties.
The Japanese Grenade Bullettree has a diameter of 50 mm and a range of 200 meters, which can make up for the gap between the mortar and the grenade. In this case, it is just easy to use.
The soldiers crossing the river saw the Japanese firing grenades, but everyone was still calm. While exerting firepower suppression on the Japanese on the shore, rowing faster. As long as they boarded the other shore, the situation would be much better.
On the west bank of the Tang River, the commander of the 5th Column saw that the Japanese were still so rampant, and immediately ordered loudly: "Fire all mortars hard for me. Don't care about the shells."
Just now, the mortars had stopped firing, and lasted for nearly half an hour. Dozens of mortars fired a lot of shells on the Japanese positions, and the two infantry regiments consumed nearly two-thirds of the shells.
Moreover, under the attacks of so many 30mm machine cannons, machine guns and snipers, the firepower gradually weakened. The comrades who crossed the river were only a few dozen meters away from landing, so the shooting of the mortars had stopped for several minutes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the mortar stopped, the Japanese's grenade launcher became rampant. So, as soon as everyone got the order, they immediately started firing again, and dozens of mortars began to roar again.
The direct 30mm cannon may be powerless to these grenade launchers hiding in trenches and firing grenades behind sandbags, but mortars are different. Mortars are also curved cannons, which can completely hit these Japanese grenade launchers.
In addition, the Japanese grenade trolley shooting just now had already exposed their position. Immediately, the Japanese grenade trolley was accurately hit by a large number of mortars.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A series of dense explosions sounded on the Japanese positions, many Japanese were killed, and many Japanese grenade launchers were also killed. In a short while, the grenades fired into the river were greatly reduced, and the soldiers crossing the river were much less threatened.
The Japanese corps leader, who had just seen his dozens of grenade launchers show his power, was happy, and even a long-lost smile appeared on his face. Unexpectedly, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly.
With the 36th Army's large number of mortars firing, the situation immediately reversed. Not only did a large number of Japanese devils kill, but the grenade launchers of their own regiment were basically lost.
The Japanese corps captain looked around the battlefield and saw that many small wooden boats in the river were close to the shore, and nearly half of the casualties of his troops were.
Seeing this situation, the Japanese corps captain was in a miserable state.
The mood was completely contrary to the Japanese captain's corps. When the soldiers saw their mortars showing their power, many soldiers immediately cheered.
Xie Zhendong, commander of the 5th Column, saw through the telescope that the Japanese on the other side were basically unable to raise their heads by fierce artillery fire. It seemed that the Japanese were suffering a lot of casualties, and Xie Zhendong's face looked a little joy.
When Xie Zhendong just put down his telescope, a correspondent trotted all the way and reported happily: "Chief, our two tank regiments and mechanized infantry regiments have gone around the back of the Japanese, and now they have occupied a favorable position. They have basically surrounded the Japanese from behind the Japanese. These three regiments have asked for instructions and are waiting for your order from the Chief."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhendong was in a good mood and thought, these three groups were really timely.
"Tell me the order and launch an attack on the Japanese immediately."
Xie Zhendong was full of energy, with joy and excitement. Xie Zhendong thought to himself, this time I will attack the Japanese on both sides and wipe out all these Japanese.
On the surface of Tanghe River.
Many of the soldiers crossing the river were only ten meters away from the east bank of the Tang River. Seeing that the river bank was right in front of them, the soldiers jumped off the wooden boats and jumped into the waist-deep river water, and advanced towards the river bank while shooting.
Some Japanese attackers showed up and fought back, and were immediately killed by the intensive shooting of AK-47. With so many AK-47 assault rifles, the Japanese gunshots became even more sparse.
Many Japanese officers felt a little cold when they saw the soldiers successfully crossing the river. Japanese soldiers knew that as more and more soldiers of the 36th Army rushed over, they were afraid that they would be difficult to resist.
The soldiers, not long after rushing forward, finally stepped onto the solid land on the river bank. There were a large number of Japanese fortifications in front of them, and the Japanese were shooting sparsely.
Many soldiers, seeing that they were getting closer to the Japanese, immediately took out grenades and threw them at the Japanese fortifications.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The explosions sounded on the Japanese devils' positions, blowing up many Japanese devils.
Some Japanese soldiers saw the soldiers of the 36th Army getting closer and closer, and were also ready to throw grenades at the soldiers. However, many Japanese soldiers were killed by dense bullets as soon as they stood up. There were very few grenades that could be successfully thrown out.
On the west bank of the Tang River, the soldiers saw nearly a thousand soldiers from the infantry regiment climbing the other side of the river. The second group of soldiers were also preparing to cross the river. In order not to accidentally hurt the soldiers who were getting closer and closer to the Japanese, the mortars, 30mm machine cannons and machine guns on this side gradually stopped shooting, and only the snipers were still aiming at the Japanese to shoot.
As soon as the soldiers stopped shooting, the Japanese suddenly felt less pressure. Many Japanese officers wanted to command their soldiers to fight back. Many Japanese officers had already raised their command swords high, just enough to shout slogans.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Several consecutive explosions sounded on the Japanese devil's position. The Japanese devil's officers were obviously stunned by the sound of these cannons, and swallowed the sound of "Kill for you!" that rushed to his mouth.
Many Japanese officers saw a large number of ferocious figures of Type 39 tanks not far behind them, and the thick black cannon barrel was facing them.
"Clang, Clang, Clang"
Many Japanese officers' command swords fell to the ground.
Many Japanese devils thought wildly, where did these tanks come out? My God, with so many tanks, how can we fight this battle?
As these tanks appeared, there were also many armored personnel carriers and off-road vehicles, and three regiments of combat vehicles blocked the Japanese's retreat, and the Japanese were surrounded.
The Japanese corps commander also saw these tanks. The Japanese corps commander was also open and his face was pale. The Japanese corps commander thought to himself that his troops were attacked by both sides by the 36th Army, and his tanks and armored vehicles were still attacked by him.
My God, this is simply a killer. I am just an infantry corps, and more than half of the casualties were killed or injured at this time. Is it necessary to dispatch so many chariots?
The tanks, armored vehicles and off-road vehicles that rushed over ignored the Japanese's expression and fired fires at the Japanese behind them. The Japanese were embarrassed and were attacked by the enemy on their backs and the death toll immediately surged.
There is basically no suspense in such a battle. In less than an hour, before 6 pm, the Japanese were wiped out. A field gang of Japanese soldiers, and more than 3,000 people were wiped out.
Seeing that all the Japanese were destroyed, it was more than an hour before darkness, the commander of the 5th Column ordered the soldiers to build the bridge quickly, and Zhang Yunfei happily sent a good news.
While the 5th Column was fighting fiercely with the Japanese, the Japanese Kwantung Army had already passed Jinzhou and the vanguard had reached Huludao. Obviously, the Japanese wanted to enter the pass from Qinhuangdao to reinforce the North China Front Army.
If you see the scale of these Japanese reinforcements, you will definitely be surprised. It seems that the Japanese have invested a lot and dispatched so many troops to reinforce.
It seems that tomorrow, the 5th Column will have another fierce battle. The 5th Column has a column, and I don’t know if it can defend Qinhuangdao.
