Now that the gunpowder smoke has gradually dissipated, the flares they launched high into the sky can already illuminate the enemy troops on the opposite side.
The Japanese soldiers could clearly see that tanks and armored vehicles were moving forward, sweeping away huge smoke and dust, and the infantry covering the enemy were rapidly approaching their positions.
The anti-tank mines and other anti-tank facilities previously deployed by the Japanese army were destroyed by the enemy's fierce artillery bombardment.
They had to admire that the enemy's infantry-tank coordination tactics were very coordinated and very skillful.
When the Japanese infantry had no time to fire at the tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Army in front, artillery shells and grenades had already been fired by the tanks and armored vehicles and landed on the Japanese position.
At the same time, the vehicle-mounted machine guns on those tanks and armored vehicles also roared at the Japanese troops on the opposite side.
The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were suppressed by the firepower of the tank troops on the opposite side before they had time to open fire.
Some inexperienced soldiers risked their lives under the suppression of the first round of artillery bombardment and machine gun fire.
The other Japanese soldiers were waiting for the troops of the Fourth Army on the opposite side to get closer, and then used the anti-tank weapons in their hands - those incendiary bottles and cluster grenades to deal with the enemy tank troops on the opposite side.
The Japanese army is also equipped with some anti-tank guns, but many of these anti-tank guns were destroyed by the firepower of tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Army in previous battles.
The remaining part, under the fierce bombardment just now, was turned into a pile of scrap metal by the artillery fire of the Fourth Army.
There are only a handful of artillery pieces left that are still operational.
But gunners have become a scarce unit again. There are many people in the Japanese army who can control flat-fire cannons, but they were blown to pieces in previous bombings.
¡°Be prepared to blast enemy tanks and armored vehicles at close range.¡±
The Japanese commanders have begun to issue such orders.
They must use their lives and their own flesh and blood to withstand the enemy's armored attack.
And this kind of defense method is actually a method often used by the Chinese army a long time ago.
They used their own flesh and blood to resist the advance of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
Even if they do, it often doesn't help.
But under the conditions at the time, they had no other choice.
But it¡¯s different now, at least the Fourth Army is different.
Their roles with the Japanese army have changed. Now the Japanese army is at a disadvantage in front of the Fourth Army in terms of equipment, personnel and military quality.
When the war just started, the elite soldiers trained by the Japanese army were gradually exhausted in the long battle.
Especially after several disastrous defeats in North China, many of the elite forces of the Japanese army were turned into withered bones underground by the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.
Although there are some temporarily recruited Japanese troops with good combat effectiveness, most of them cannot be compared with their predecessors who died on the Chinese battlefield.
Even in terms of weapons and equipment, there is a fundamental gap between them and the opposing Fourth Army.
At least the Fourth Army has obvious advantages over the Japanese troops on the opposite side, whether in light weapons or heavy weapons.
Although the Japanese commanders roared at the top of their lungs, their power was limited after all.
Now the soldiers of the Fourth Army are already under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, less than fifty meters away from their positions.
The Japanese heavy machine guns and rifles began to roar, but this roar sounded like impotent rage.
The tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Army, staring at the light and heavy machine gun firepower of the Japanese army, moved forward without any change in speed.
The heavy armor covering the outside was a nightmare for Japanese soldiers.
Their light and heavy machine gun bullets are all on these armor plates, leaving only a series of sparks but unable to penetrate them.
Even the relatively fragile side armor cannot be penetrated by the Japanese light and heavy machine gun bullets.
The Japanese army is also equipped with many large-caliber anti-tank guns.
But these guns can still play some role against light tanks, but when faced with the medium tanks of the Fourth Army, they can only leave some dents on the armor plates.
?????????????????Only their combat artillery can pose a certain degree of threat to the tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Army.
But even the Japanese tanks with larger calibers can only penetrate the armor plates of tanks equipped by the Fourth Army at certain angles.
If it is an armored vehicle, the Japanese flat-firing artillery can penetrate it directly from the front.
Of course, the prerequisite for them to penetrate the outer armor of armored vehicles is that the shells they fire can avoid the blockage of bulletproof fences.
In short, although the Japanese army on the opposite side has anti-tank means, it seems somewhat powerless when facing the torrent of steel from the Fourth Army at this moment.
It was in this continuous exchange of fire between the two sides that the infantrymen of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army were getting closer and closer to the Japanese position.
Until they were only more than 20 meters away, these soldiers even threw their grenades at the Japanese positions through the tanks and armored vehicles.
And the Japanese soldiers of this Japanese army also held cluster grenades and some anti-tank mines, and roared towards the tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Army.
Their commander-in-chief and squad leader commanded from behind until all the soldiers under their command died on the way to the charge. These low-level commanders of the Japanese army would also do the same thing.
The soldiers of the Fourth Army raised their rifles, and together with the armored vehicles and tanks in front of them, they formed a tight firepower network.
The soldiers of the Japanese army were often beaten into pieces by a dense firepower network composed of heavy machine guns and rifles as soon as they rushed out of the position.
There are still a very small number of Japanese soldiers who can successfully get close to these combat vehicles and tanks.
Some tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed by the Japanese army under the desperate charge.
But more tanks and armored vehicles still covered the infantry soldiers of the Fourth Army and rushed into the Japanese positions.
The infantry entered the Japanese positions before the tanks in order to clear out the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches and prevent them from ambush tanks and armored vehicles.
Some soldiers held flamethrowers and sprayed out streams of extremely hot flames directly at the trenches.
The Japanese soldiers hiding among them jumped out wailing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
