NOVEL WEB Chapter 23
"Boom boom boom........"
Dense rockets fell like hail.
In an instant, the battlefield seemed to be doomsday, and dense explosions and flames rose up.
It seemed as if they were going to blow through the entire land.
The Japanese soldiers deep in the trenches could only huddle in the trenches and wait for death to come.
There were such dense explosions that even the 155mm heavy artillery shells were submerged in the dense sea of explosions.
The explosion came quickly and went away quickly, disappearing in less than 20 seconds.
But it brought destruction to the Japanese troops on the battlefield.
The Japanese soldiers who saw this scene were all stunned and shocked.
"this...The Chinese actually have so many heavy artillery?"
The pupils of the division commander, Lieutenant General Xi Yiyi, shrank.
This scene really frightened him, and made him terrified.
He now knew why the Chinese dared to take the initiative to attack Pingquan.
There are so many heavy artillery, even if their entire army is added together, there are not so many.
It seems that the number is at least more than 200.
Ten minutes later, the smoke on the position had not dissipated.
Another rain of rockets fell like an overwhelming rain. It set off one dense explosion after another.
This also made Xi Yiyi and others silent.
Now even Xi Yiyi didn't know whether he could really stop the mysterious Chinese army in front of him.
He didn't even know how many troops the other side had. The
17th Regiment at this moment was indeed very miserable.
Continuous artillery bombardment, and two rounds of rocket bombardment.
In these few hours of artillery bombardment.
Even if they dug some anti-artillery holes, they didn't have much effect.
Even now, the position can basically no longer be seen.
There are huge potholes and collapsed tunnels everywhere.
"Boom boom boom......"
At this time, a number of Type 4 tanks roared and rushed towards the position.
The steel torrent composed of more than 100 Type 4 tanks once again made the Japanese army panic.
"war...Chariot....How is it possible? How could the Chinese have such a large number of tanks?"
The rocket launchers have already brought them enough impact.
However, when they saw the torrent of steel sweeping over, the impact on them was even greater.
At this moment, they even felt a sense of powerlessness to resist.
Are they really fighting with the Chinese troops?
The tank tracks rolled over the ground, leaving ruts on the ground.
Behind the tanks, one by one, footsteps trotted and followed the tanks.
Although the tanks have heavy armor, powerful firepower and mobility.
But it is precisely because of the heavy armor that the tanks' vision is actually very poor, with many blind spots.
This will also give the enemy the opportunity to destroy the tanks.
Although the Japanese have few anti-tank weapons.
But they like to carry out suicidal attacks.
Therefore, when tanks attack positions, they must be covered by infantry to prevent them from getting close to the tanks.
And tanks can also cover them as they rush into the positions.
This is also the essence of infantry-tank coordinated tactics.
Even in the face of fierce artillery fire.
There are still Japanese troops emerging from the ruins to fight back.
From time to time, the 75mm short-barreled tank gun of the No. 4 tank sounded, bombarding the area where the Japanese army opened fire.
""Board!"
When the tank approached the position, a group of Japanese soldiers holding explosive packs and grenades suddenly emerged from the soil.
They had hideous faces and rushed towards the tank, which was only 20 to 30 meters away, with crazy roars.
At this time, several soldiers hiding behind the tank rushed out.
The Suomi submachine guns in their hands sprayed dense bullets.
The Japanese soldiers who rushed towards the tank were hit by dense bullets and fell to the ground.
The tank's machine gun also began to spread dense rain of bullets.
"boom...boom....."
Fierce explosions came from the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, and the dirt and rubble flew into the air more than ten meters high.
This scene did not stop the tanks from advancing.
They adopted a wedge formation, not only with the cover of infantry, but also with each other.
Even if the Japanese soldiers were the best in the world, without anti-tank weapons, they could not stop the armored cluster charge of more than 100 tanks and thousands of Red Alert soldiers.
As the tank cluster rushed into the position, a fierce battle broke out.
The Japanese soldiers were very resilient, and even in the face of such a desperate situation, they still chose to fight back desperately. They rushed from all unexpected directions.
It also caused considerable casualties to the Red Alert 1st Division.
The Japanese troops in the Hiraizumi direction could only watch their positions being broken through.
Because at this moment they had no time to care about other things.
Because the heavy artillery fire had begun to extend.
The dense barrage blocked their reinforcement route.
Faced with this situation, Nishi Yiyi would only send troops to reinforce the 17th Regiment if he was crazy.
What he needs now is for the 17th Regiment to buy as much time as possible for them to build fortifications.
At the same time, he waits for the arrival of reinforcements.
One urgent telegram after another fell on the desk of General Hishikari Takashi, the commander of the Kwantung Army, like snowflakes. Nishi Yoshiichi no longer cares about his face.
The Chinese army in front of him can no longer be supported by just his own division. And Chifeng may not be reliable.
So he can only ask for help from the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
General Hishikari Takashi was also shocked when he saw the telegram for help.
The content above even made him unable to believe it for a long time.
The 8th Division plus a heavy artillery brigade, with a total strength of more than 30,000 people.
How could he not be shocked that they were beaten and asked him for help.
