What followed was the explosion of artillery shells.
This kind of tank gun is not too powerful, but it is better at suppressing Japanese positions at close range with good accuracy.
The tank drivers, gunners and other personnel inside are also veterans.
They will first search for firepower points such as flat-fire artillery on the Japanese positions, and then heavy machine guns and other firepower points.
Carry out focused bombardment on these firepower points.
After these firepower points are cleared, they will focus on suppressing the opposite light machine guns and other firepower points.
This is a combat method they have practiced countless times in their daily training.
Now that I¡¯m here, it¡¯s just a matter of repeating some combat skills that are often used in training.
The Japanese troops on the opposite side had just pulled out their flat-firing artillery, and before they had time to adjust their positions, they were bombarded by artillery.
¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±
The accuracy of artillery shooting was very high. Several Japanese flat-fire cannons were directly destroyed at the first opportunity.
At the same time, the heavy machine guns on tanks and armored vehicles roared at this time, pouring firepower at the Japanese positions.
"Da da da!!!"
Amid the uninterrupted roar, the Japanese heavy machine guns and other firepower were also completely suppressed by the firepower provided by the tanks of the Fourth Army.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army will not be idle.
The rifles and light machine guns in their hands were also firing at the Japanese positions opposite.
At this moment, there are actually not many people on the Japanese military positions who can go into battle.
The previous fierce bombardment by the Fourth Army caused heavy casualties on their positions.
And the troops supporting them are still on the road and have not entered their defensive positions.
The absolute disadvantage in terms of firepower meant that the Japanese soldiers had no chance to raise their heads and shoot at the enemy. They could only hide behind the trenches with their heads down.
Some Japanese soldiers had little experience and wanted to show their bushido spirit, so they stuck their heads out and used their rifles to shoot bullets at the enemy on the opposite side.
But such Japanese soldiers will soon know why those Japanese veterans reminded them not to shoot casually.
Because as long as they stick their heads out, these Japanese soldiers will become the primary targets of the infantry and machine gunners.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Fourth Army are unable to find suitable attack targets on their positions.
Seeing Japanese troops showing up to shoot, for them, that was the best target.
Sure enough, many Japanese recruits paid the due price for their recklessness.
Under the shooting of the Fourth Army, the head of a Japanese soldier was directly blown open the moment he probed his head.
The helmets on their heads could not save their lives.
At the same time, a large number of Japanese soldiers began to prepare cluster grenades and other weapons.
They want to wait for the enemy tanks and armored vehicles on the opposite side to approach, then jump out of the trench and launch a surprise attack on the enemy tanks.
However, if they knew that the Japanese soldiers who were wiped out in the front positions adopted the same combat method and paid a heavy price with little effect, then they would definitely rethink their own combat strategy. method, is it effective?
It¡¯s just that the joint forces of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army that are advancing now will not give them so much time to think.
The speed of their attack was even faster than the arrival of Japanese support troops.
Those Japanese support troops had not even arrived at the Japanese forward positions. The armored troops of the Fourth Army had already pointed their muzzles at the Japanese soldiers in the trenches.
The barbed wire fence deployed by the Japanese army on the periphery was directly pushed away by tanks and armored vehicles. As for the landmines, anti-tank mines and other weapons originally deployed in front of the position, they were all detonated during the previous bombing.
Occasionally, one or two landmines were detonated, but they could not have any impact on the advancement of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese commander immediately fired a signal flare into the sky.
This is the signal for Japanese attack.
They had not attacked before. On the one hand, it was because the firepower of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, and they had no chance to raise their head.
There is another aspect:?Because, they want to bring the enemy closer before hitting them.
Mainly because the infantry and tank coordination tactics on the opposite side are very skillful. If the Japanese army wants to cause any substantial damage to the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles at this time, it would be to put these enemy steel tanks close and then to attack.
As the Japanese commander's signal flares were launched high into the sky, the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches immediately raised the cluster grenades in their hands and roared out of the trenches, thinking about the fighting vehicles and tanks ahead. charge.
At this moment, the heavy machine guns on the tanks and armored vehicles immediately turned their muzzles and fired continuously at the Japanese troops.
The infantrymen who were originally hiding behind tanks and armored vehicles now came to both sides of the tank, using infantry firepower to clear away the Japanese soldiers who tried to get close to the tank.
The modified fire-breathing tank sprayed out a stream of flames towards the Japanese troops charging ahead.
Several Japanese soldiers did not even run a few steps away, nor did they have time to throw the grenades in their hands, before they were burned to a crisp by the roaring flames.
The grenades in their hands also exploded at this time, knocking several other Japanese soldiers nearby and smashing them to pieces.
The troops of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army are very experienced in dealing with such a sudden attack by the Japanese army.
During the battle with the Japanese army, their tank units and infantry often conducted similar drills.
They have been preparing for this battle for too long.
At this moment, the Japanese soldiers truly felt what despair was.
Their light and heavy machine gun fire finally began to roar.
But most of the bullets will fall on the armor plates on the armored vehicles and tanks in the front, unable to cause any damage to them at all.
Only a small part of the bullets will pass through these tanks and hit the infantry behind them.
But compared to the infantry without tank cover, the survival rate of the infantry with tank cover has been greatly improved when facing Japanese machine gun fire.
Those tanks in front of them were huge bulletproof panels, which could avoid them from a large amount of Japanese firepower. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
