    They shouted long live and charged towards the tanks.

    The crews of those tanks had already seen this charging method of the Japanese army as early as Fengzhen.

    But they had no fear. The heavy machine guns on the tanks and armored vehicles roared immediately.

    Those Japanese soldiers were running wildly between the bomb craters, very agile.  However, in the face of intensive firepower, many Japanese soldiers were still shot through the body.

    In front of the tank, Japanese corpses piled up quickly.  Like fallen leaves in autumn, they fell down under the strong wind.

    By the time they got to close range, the heavy machine guns of the tanks could no longer threaten these Japanese infantry.  After all, the heavy machine gun on the tank has a limited range of fire.

    But the Japanese army, which finally broke through the heavy machine gun blockade, had to face a large number of infantrymen who coordinated the attack behind the tanks.

    The rifles in the hands of these infantrymen were aimed at these Japanese soldiers and fired.

    They don¡¯t even need to aim, they just need to shoot forward.  Intense fire coverage is enough to kill a large number of Japanese troops.

    The Japanese soldiers were able to reach the vicinity of the tanks only after suffering extremely heavy casualties.

    These Japanese soldiers would not hesitate to detonate the grenades and explosive bags on their bodies.  I want to block the advance of tanks in this way.

    ¡°Boom boom!!!¡±

    A loud noise was heard, and some tanks were overturned, while others had their tracks broken and were unable to move forward.

    "Infantry forward!!!"

    Xia Yang, who commanded the tank regiment to attack, shouted an order.

    The infantrymen who were originally huddled behind the tank immediately moved around to the front of the tank.

    This will give the tank better protection and make it more difficult for the Japanese army to approach the tank during a suicide attack.

    Many Japanese soldiers finally made it to the front, only to be blocked by the infantry.

    The first batch of Japanese soldiers who launched a suicide attack were completely wiped out in less than ten minutes.

    "keep going!!!"

    The forward commander shouted, and the infantry and tanks continued to advance towards the Japanese position.

    When the tanks arrived at the infantry positions, the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches suddenly jumped out.

    Some of them charged towards the tanks, while others charged directly towards the infantry groups.

    Such a bloody and decisive fighting method is what these crazy Japanese troops can carry out so resolutely.

    At this time, they no longer care about the casualties, they just want to block the advancement of the armored forces of the Fourth Army.

    However, with the continuous advancement of tanks, the Japanese army's method could not stop them from moving forward.

    Behind the tank troops, a large number of infantrymen also began to follow up, entering the position and fighting with the remaining Japanese troops.

    The entire outer defense line of Datong City, whether it was the south or the north, suffered unprecedented fierce attacks during this time.

    In order to block their attack, Yoshio Shinozuka could only mobilize a large number of troops in the city to support the front line and engage in repeated battles for the position.

    Tens of thousands of troops from both sides were fighting fiercely on a front that was several kilometers long.

    The heavy howitzer bombarded the Japanese rear positions one after another.  The Japanese army's small-caliber mountain artillery and field artillery were also fighting back bravely.

    But these mountain artillery and field artillery will immediately choose to move their positions after two rounds of bombardment.

    Because as long as it was delayed, Xia Yang and the others' counterattack artillery fire would directly cover the Japanese artillery position.

    The Japanese army¡¯s strategy of changing places with one shot is very much the essence of guerrilla warfare.

    Although this can reduce the losses of their artillery in battle, it also affects the efficiency of their artillery support.

    The Japanese soldiers in the distance not only had to face the impact of tanks, but also suffered heavy artillery bombardment.

    This caused the casualties of the Japanese army to greatly exceed Yoshio Shinozuka's estimate.

    The battle lasted for a whole day. The Japanese army successfully withstood their attack and only lost a few positions.

    But in response, they paid extremely heavy casualties.

    On the first day of combat alone, the Japanese army suffered more than 5,000 casualties.

    Such a number of casualties has a lot to do with the way the Japanese army fought.Relationship.

    The almost brainless Banzai Charge, using flesh and blood to block tanks, lack of experience in dealing with tanks, etc.  All of which caused their casualty numbers to skyrocket.

    At this time, the number of Japanese troops in the entire Datong did not exceed less than 10,000.

    At this rate of casualties, it will only take three days for the casualties to exceed one-third.

    When a unit's casualties exceed one-third, it basically means that the unit can withdraw from the battlefield.

    Even though the Japanese army has a tenacious will to fight, they are still human.  Such a heavy loss is something they cannot bear.

    "Compared to the heavy casualties suffered by the Japanese army, Xia Yang's losses were much less.

    Because they basically hide behind armored vehicles and tanks, and don¡¯t have to worry about being bombarded by enemy artillery.

    This makes their combined casualties less than one-fifth of the Japanese army.

    Even compared to the battle in Hunyuan County, the casualties were much less.

    After all, the thick armor plates of those tanks charging ahead helped the infantry withstand a lot of bullets.

    After a day of fighting, the soldiers on both sides were very tired.

    But the difference is that Xia Yang has troops that can rotate to fight.  But the Japanese army only has so many troops and cannot rotate at all.

    Xia Yang was very dissatisfied with today's battle.

    Because according to his plan, today, most of the Japanese army's peripheral positions will be captured.

    But until the evening, there were only five positions that were actually captured by them.

    The Japanese army's counterattack was crazy, and its fighting will exceeded Xia Yang's original expectations.  This is also the main reason why today's battle is not going smoothly.

    "For tomorrow's battle, a large number of napalm bombs and large trebuchets will be used. They will be concentrated on the front line immediately. I don't believe that no matter how strong these little devils are in fighting, they will not be afraid of fire?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.  hlnovel.com
