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.
Most of the soldiers of the Fourth Army have experienced several battles with the Japanese army. Now it is really simple for them to clean up these Japanese soldiers hidden in the tunnels.
Not only that, they also threw a large number of Molotov cocktails into some hidden bunkers.
Then he waited at the door.
Soon the Japanese soldiers inside would run out covered in flames and be shot to death directly.
¡°Similar to this method, Japanese soldiers hiding in trenches and intending to cause damage to passing tanks and armored vehicles suffered a large number of casualties under the attack of the infantry of the Fourth Army.
It is already very difficult for them to destroy the tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Army in this way.
The Japanese commanders at the back also realized that their fighting method could no longer play any role.
However, at this time, they no longer have enough troops to dispatch.
Behind them, the Japanese reinforcements were also being bombarded by artillery fire from the Fourth Army.
The Fourth Army¡¯s bombing of the Japanese army was not only the initial bombing of the Japanese defensive positions, but also included the bombardment of the Japanese reinforcements.
When the reinforcements of the Japanese 122nd Division were still about three or four kilometers away from the Japanese second line of defense, they were bombarded by extremely fierce artillery fire.
Under such fierce artillery bombardment, although the Japanese reinforcements were able to advance with difficulty, it was already impossible to reach the defensive positions in front of them as scheduled.
What's more, even after they arrived, the assistance troops they sent out also suffered a large number of casualties.
After such troops arrive at the front position, it is still unknown how effective they can be.
Not only that, on the Japanese line in front, some defensive positions in some areas have been breached by the tanks and armored units of the Fourth Army, as well as the Eighth Route Army troops that were constantly attacking from the side.
¡°As long as there is a loophole in the Japanese defense front here, other defensive positions will collapse in a short period of time.
Such a long defensive position is like this. If the front line remains stable all day long, then whether the enemy attacks from the front or attacks from their sides, they can hold on, otherwise the enemy will go around.
But as long as there is a problem in one place, the entire front will collapse like a dam in the flood.
After breaking through the Japanese defensive positions, the soldiers of the Fourth Army did not immediately advance forward, but directly attacked their flanks.
They charged the Japanese positions on the flank.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers in the flank position may still be fighting fiercely with the armored units of the Fourth Army, without even realizing that their flank position has been lost.
Just when they were counting on their lives and trying to resist the advance of the enemy in front, the sound of gunshots and the roar of artillery from the side plunged them into despair.
That means their flanks have collapsed. If they continue to fight here, it will only be a matter of time before the enemy surrounds them and annihilates them all.
They don¡¯t want to see such an ending, at least, they don¡¯t want to sit here and wait to die.
The Japanese commander at the front picked up his walkie-talkie and wanted to call their support troops at the rear.
But when he turned on the walkie-talkie, he could only hear the roar of artillery. After the loud noises, he could only hear the screams of the people caught in them.
This made him realize that it was completely impossible to get reinforcements to save this precarious line of defense.
Rather than placing hope on them, it is better to fight to the death now to gain the last chance to repel the enemy.
Thinking of this, the Japanese commander on this front immediately led his soldiers to launch a Long Live Charge.
They brought rifles, bombs, and cluster grenades, hoping to block the tanks and armored vehicles rumbling in front.
In ?On both sides of the tanks and armored vehicles were soldiers of the Fourth Army. Their faces had no expression, like emotionless war machines.
In their hands, rifles fired angry bullets, knocking down the Japanese soldiers trying to get close to the tanks to the ground.
The flame of the flamethrower is like the breath of a fire dragon. The blazing flames can burn a person's body in an instant, and finally turn it into a black ball in a very short time. coke.
The burnt smell is like the stench after burning garbage bags. It can be clearly smelled even from dozens of meters away.
Seeing such a scene, many Japanese soldiers had their hearts broken and even lost the courage to charge.
Other soldiers, together with their commanders, shouted "Long Live" and charged forward desperately.
Finally, under heavy machine gun fire, he was punched through the sieve and fell to the ground.
The Japanese army's defense line is collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Such a speed of collapse was something that the Japanese army did not expect before.
Their commander also died here, just like the Japanese soldiers who charged forward together, they died on this battlefield.
But not all the remaining Japanese soldiers chose to pay their lives for this wrong war.
They turned around and began to flee towards their rear.
But for those who flee later, they may not be able to escape the fate of inevitable death.
Because on their way back, there was continuous bombardment by the artillery units of the Fourth Army. The artillery fire that blocked their reinforcements could now be used to kill and injure these scurrying Japanese soldiers.
The other Japanese soldiers saw the Japanese soldiers starting to flee behind them, and they were all pulled up and fled together.
It¡¯s like a collapsed dam. If one place collapses, it¡¯s only a matter of time before other places collapse.
The Japanese soldiers who were still on the position originally planned to die with the enemy or fight to the end, (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
