A distance of more than 800 meters, let alone ordinary bullets, even armor-piercing bullets must be combined with professional anti-equipment sniper rifles to break through the armored defense of the Japanese tanks.

Therefore, the rain of bullets poured out from the soldiers of the First Battalion of the Tiger Ben hit the Japanese tanks. Apart from making waves of jingling sounds, it was impossible to stop the tanks and the followers of the Japanese infantry from progressing.

As the turret of the Japanese tank turned, a light and heavy machine gun position that was exposed was brutally bombarded.

After a loud bang, the defending machine gunners, even the people and guns, were blown away.

Of course, the hard work of the defenders was not useless, at least delaying the pace of the Japanese charging.

In order to cover the charge of infantry, the Japanese tanks had to slow down the speed of the forward rush, which provided favorable conditions for the artillery battalion's artillery bombardment.

"Bang!"

On the battlefield, a Japanese Type 95 light tank slowly rotated the turret again, aiming the 37mm-caliber main gun muzzle at a heavy machine gun position of the first battalion.

Then a red light flashed, and the machine gunner, who had no time to transfer, was swallowed by the smoke from the explosion of the shells.

After a few seconds, when the smoke of guns disappeared, the machine gunners on the position had disappeared, and only half of their body was left at the scene, and a pile of Type 92 heavy machine guns that had been blown into scrap iron.

However, the Japanese's Type 95 light tank was proud of it for only a few seconds, just as it rotated the turret again, locked onto another light machine gun of the Tiger Ben regiment, and was about to continue firing.

A hot shell suddenly fell from the sky with the sound of breaking through the wind, and fell hard on the tank top cover.

"boom!"

A ball of red light suddenly rose from the roof of the tank. The strong shock wave generated by the explosion of the armor-piercing bomb directly tore the top armor of the Xiaodouding tank, shaking the tank soldiers inside to death.

Even the Japanese infantry that was advancing with this tank and tank were affected and a large area fell down with screams.

Especially the 37mm caliber main gun turret that was lifted out smashed several Japanese soldiers and smashed them into a pool of meat paste.

It was the battalion commander of the artillery battalion who opened fire in person!

There were dozens of other field guns that opened fire with them.

It is worth mentioning that although the Tiger Ben already has combat defense cannons in its hands, this is a powerful tool for dealing with tanks.

However, war defense cannons also have their disadvantages. As direct-aid cannons, they must face the Japanese tanks directly before they can be destroyed.

In this way, the war defense cannons will be exposed to the Japanese's vision and will be countered by the Japanese tank cannons and other field cannons.

The field cannon is a Qunai artillery, which can be hidden in the city, greatly reducing the threat of being counterattacked by the Japanese artillery fire.

Therefore, using field cannons to counterattack the Japanese tanks at this time is more suitable than war defense cannons.

In addition, the artillery battalion is equipped with professional observers, and the artillery soldiers have also undergone rigorous training, and the artillery techniques are extremely accurate.

In addition, the artillery battalion has a large-scale artillery group, which can completely cause a devastating blow to the Japanese tank troops.

The only drawback is that it is a bit waste of shells.

Every round of fires at a rapid pace was dozens of shells.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!"

With the repeated rapid firing of the Tiger Ben's Cannon Battalion, the area several hundred meters ahead of the front of the first battalion was immediately blown into a sea of ​​fire.

The overall hit rate of the artillery battalion is not very high, even less than 20%, but it cannot withstand the firepower.

Under the concentrated bombardment of the Tiger Ben Cannon Battalion, the Japanese's Type 95 light tanks and Type 97 armored vehicles were destroyed one after another.

The Japanese infantrymen of the 63rd Infantry Regiment, which was promoted together, were also hit by disasters.

cannon fodder!

It's like a group of cannon fodder.

He didn't even have a chance to counterattack, and under the bombardment of this violent cannon group, it turned into a pool of rotten flesh.

…………

At a height of 100 meters a few kilometers away, inside the tank balloon basket.

I saw that the Type 95 light tank and Type 97 armored vehicles were destroyed by the Tiger Ben's artillery.

Seeing that the infantry, who had already reached within 300 meters of the enemy's position, were once again unable to move forward, Isotani's facial muscles twitched again.

"Baga! Baga, the road!" Isotani Ryosuke stared at his eyes and gritted his teeth and shouted, "Damn Chinese artillery!"

After a pause, Yoshigaki Isotani turned around again and stared at the northeast sky, Jinan, and Qingdao directions and said with a hatred: "Where are the bombers and fighters of the Imperial Air Force? Where are the damn bombers and fighters?"

Chief of Staff Di Bujiagui said: "His division commander, the aviation force has just returned. If you wait for the fuel and ammunition to be replenished, it may take more than an hour before you can return to the battlefield."

"More than an hour?" Isotani Risuke's face turned green and he roared: "In another hour, when the aviation troops arrive, the 20 Type 95 light tanks and Type 97 armored vehicles of the First Squadron of the Tank will have already finished playing!"

A layer of fine beads of sweat immediately oozed out from the dike's forehead, which was indeed his negligence.

Because before the attack, he also conducted several military chess repertoire with several combat staff from the division headquarters, hoping to improve the preparations as much as possible, strive to capture Tengxian in one fell swoop and annihilate the Hu Ben regiment here.

But I have never missed the test, and the chariots and the aviation force are out of touch.

Of course, he can't blame him, because they have always done this in the previous battles.

Looking at the previous battles, every time his 10th Division used such tactics, it was always unfavorable.

Because ordinary Chinese troops could not withstand their joint ground-space bombardment.

Therefore, when dealing with the Tiger Ben Group, we did not understand this at all. We only thought that the powerful ground-to-air bombardment of the Great Japanese Imperial Army would inevitably blow the Tiger Ben Group to death with heavy casualties.

And the one who was really frightened and gritted his teeth was also said that Lai Guqi, the commander of the 33rd Infantry Brigade.

Seeing the soldiers under his command being slaughtered by the Tiger Group, his heart was bleeding!

Even Yang Jing was devoured alive.

Because his 33rd Infantry Brigade had only two infantry regiments in total, the 10th Infantry Regiment was already miserable; however, today, the 63rd Infantry Regiment was aimed at the destruction of the entire army!

However, the current command is in the hands of the division commander Risuke Isotani. Risuke Isotani did not give an order to retreat. Although he was extremely anxious, he could only grit his teeth and watch.

...

Between the two old Japanese, the more than 20 Type 95 light tanks and Type 97 armored vehicles that were charging forward were all destroyed.

Without the guidance and cover of the tank, the 63rd infantry regiment, which was the attacking force in this battle, was immediately shot and killed by the defenders of the Tiger Regiment!

Especially the bombing of the artillery battalion is even more deadly to these Japanese infantry.

Almost every time the cannon fell, a huge red light would burst out on the ground, and the Japanese soldiers who landed nearby would fly out one after another.

Before the person landed, he was already angrily dead!

Looking at the falling rows of infantry soldiers on his side, Risuke Isotani finally felt pain, or finally saw the power of the Tiger Ben and began to be scared!

Because it takes only an hour to continue to suffer casualties at this speed, and the 63rd infantry regiment responsible for this offensive mission will be all over!

By then, even if the aviation troops arrive over Linteng County again, it will be useless.

At that moment, Isotani Ryosuke gritted his teeth and said, "Order the 63rd Infantry Regiment to move forward immediately and retreat to the rear to wait for the opportunity!

At the same time, the field artillery was ordered to open fire immediately and launch artillery counterattack on the Chinese artillery positions in the city and their field positions to cover the transformation of the 63rd infantry revolt!”

"Hayi!" Hearing the order to turn in, Lai Guqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a heavy blow, he was about to convey the order, but he was stopped by the division commander Risuke Isotani.

"And!" Isotani Ryosuke groaned and said again: "Lai Gujun, for the next attack, I hope your unit can connect with the aviation force, and never experience any disconnection similar to this time!"

"Hayi!" Lai Guqi bowed his head again, straightened his back, first wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then he personally served as a flag-speaking soldier again, conveying the orders of the division commander Risuke Isotani.

…………

"The ranks of the group, the Japanese retreated, the Japanese retreated! Should we take the initiative to attack and kill them all!"

Since Bi Yuntao was seriously injured in the Battle of Kunshan, he has missed Yangzhou, Nanjing, and all other battles behind him.

At this time, you can finally come to the front line again to command the battle. If you kill, you will jump up from the trenches and prepare to launch a counterattack.

Seeing this, Yang Jing's face darkened and shouted, "Ge! At this time, you want to kill your brothers?

If you want to fight the Japanese, we have a chance!

Because it won’t take long, the Japanese will definitely launch an attack again!”

"What we need to do now is to prevent artillery, and quickly order the brothers to stop attacking! Hiding in the cat's ear piercing!" After saying this, Yang Jing turned his head and looked at Ma Tong on the side, and said with a stern expression: "Ma Tong, let the artillery battalion immediately counter the Japanese field artillery positions!

Before the Japanese aviation troops fly over Teng County, we should weaken them as much as possible and disgusting the Japanese artillery!

Also, order each battalion to relocate inflatable field cannons and inflatable military trucks!”

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"——"

Almost as soon as Yang Jing's order was conveyed, the Japanese shells fell down fiercely, and the entire field defense position of the first battalion suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The trench cat's ear pierced, listening to the loud noises coming from the head and feeling the tremors coming from the feet and the surrounding trench walls, the soldiers of the battalions couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Their team is really amazing, and they almost grasped all the Japanese's every move!
