Judging from the density of enemy artillery fire, this was not a feint to scare them, but a real attack.
"Order the four regiments to retreat, enter the second line of defense, and launch defenses at the nearest location. Tell them that even if they use human lives to fill the top, they must block the advance of the enemy tanks." Honda Masato shouted.
Most of the troops of the four regiments he mentioned have already rushed to the second line of defense under intensive artillery bombardment. However, there were still more than 2,000 people who were overtaken by the cavalry and tank regiments and strangled directly.
As for the large number of Japanese soldiers who died in the battle before, they are even more numerous.
The original four reorganized regiments, after such a short period of time, only had less than 6,000 people left.
The heavy artillery bombardment lasted for more than half an hour.
Those Japanese troops who retreated into their positions were okay, at least they still had trenches to hide in. However, those soldiers who were blocked from their positions by artillery fire were either killed by tanks and cavalry, or blown up by artillery shells.
After the artillery bombardment ended, the Japanese soldiers ran out of the fortifications and entered their respective combat positions.
But as soon as they fired a flare into the sky, they saw the enemy tank troops not far away, which had already begun to crush the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and charge towards them.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese commanders immediately shouted: "Everyone must fight to the death! No retreat! Even if they pile up corpses, they must block the advancement of enemy tanks."
Those Japanese soldiers looked at the crushed bodies. There is an idea in my mind, that is, if they pile up their corpses, they will not be able to stop the enemy tanks from attacking?
The First Tank Regiment and the Second Tank Regiment were already deployed on the frontal battlefield. As for the cavalry regiment, after completing the harvest of Japanese soldiers, they retreated to the rear.
If these cavalry were allowed to directly attack the Japanese second line of defense, they would surely suffer heavy casualties in the face of a network of heavy machine gun fire.
In the continuous battles, the Kagel cavalry have summed up a set of experience. One of the points is that you should never use cavalry to attack enemy positions that are rich in light and heavy machine gun firepower.
On the two wings of the two tank regiments are two motorized infantry regiments. They were already chasing the retreating Japanese infantry while taking the lead in attacking the Japanese positions.
As for the two infantry regiments participating in the attack, they followed closely and could supplement the casualties of the attacking troops in front at any time.
The Japanese army built a simple defense on the dilapidated position.
"Shoot!!!" Wait for the enemy tanks to enter the position, and immediately use cluster grenades and bombs to blast them at close range.
Inside the trench, the Japanese death squads who specialized in bombing tanks were ready for battle.
Each of them had grenades and explosives bundled on their bodies. It's like a group of moving bombs.
¡°Onboard!!!¡±
The Japanese commander shouted in the trench.
Those Japanese soldiers who had been brainwashed by Bushido also began to shout at this time.
At this time, the tanks had already rushed to the front of the position.
There are many craters in front of the Japanese position. Before the tanks reached these craters, their movements became much slower.
This also provides certain opportunities for those Japanese death squads.
¡°Onboard!!¡±
With a burst of shouting, a large number of Japanese troops in the trench began to charge.
They climbed out of the trench and moved forward quickly with their waists low on the ground. Some were crawling on the ground, using the craters on the ground to roll over constantly, trying to get close to the tanks.
The flares rose into the sky one after another, and the traces of the Japanese troops were clearly visible to the condescending tank and heavy machine gun shooters.
Hundreds of tanks and dozens of armored vehicles participating in the attack were all firing at the Japanese troops at this time.
The bullets from the heavy machine gun splashed on the Japanese soldiers like a sudden rain.
Many of these Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground as soon as they climbed out of the trenches. There were many others who were discovered by the accompanying infantrymen as soon as they approached the tanks and were killed one by one.
Such a completely asymmetrical battle happened once before in Nomenhan.
At that time, the Japanese army faced the Soviet army, which was mainly mechanized corps.
It¡¯s just that the Soviet army at that time,Because we had just experienced a great purge, a large number of outstanding commanders were imprisoned or even killed. A large number of soldiers are also new recruits who have just been recruited.
So they have good equipment, but they are unable to use these weapons and equipment to their maximum power. Tactics such as infantry and tank coordination are even less proficient.
But the current Kagel combat division is basically soldiers who have undergone long-term training. All commanders have basically experienced the baptism of war.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the Soviet army in Nomonhan could not compare with them.
This is what makes the Japanese army most desperate. They have tried every means to block the advance of these tanks.
But everything seemed to be in vain, the 1st Tank Regiment and the 2nd Tank Regiment were still advancing.
The Japanese army¡¯s hundreds of death squads only allowed a few tanks to be destroyed. Hundreds of other tanks were still moving slowly.
¡°Onboard!!¡±
The Japanese commander inside the position shouted when he saw the tanks rushing into his face.
Those Japanese troops immediately followed the commander and launched the Long Live Charge.
Behind them, more Japanese soldiers followed and launched a crazy Banzai charge.
This is no longer possible.
The soldiers of the First Tank Regiment and the Second Tank Regiment immediately relied on the tanks and began to shoot at the charging Japanese troops.
At the same time, the rocket nest system roared again and began to bombard the rear of the Japanese army. Block its front and back connections.
The explosion of rockets began to echo in the ears of the Japanese army at this time. They turned around and saw that the rear was covered by artillery fire. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
