    On the Bengbu city wall, Commander-in-Chief Zhang, Liu Shiyi and others stood there to watch the battle. Although as the top commanders of this battle, they should stay in the headquarters, which would be safer.

    But both Commander Zhang and Liu Shiyi are very clear that at this time they have no big effect on the entire battle situation, because there are very few places where tactics can be used. What is now competing is the fighting will of both sides.  Let's see who can hold on better.

    Because of this, Commander Zhang and others came to the city together. They wanted to see how strong the little devils outside the city were.

    From the telescope, Commander Zhang and others looked at the Japanese troops in neat formation. Everyone's face was a little ugly. They saw a dark mass of little Japanese in the distance. Judging from the size, it should be no less than a brigade.

    A brigade-level attack was definitely a huge pressure on the defenders, and everyone saw a large number of tanks among the Japanese troops.

    Although they are all Type 94 light tanks or Type 95 light tanks with poor performance, they are still a huge threat to the Chinese army that lacks combat defense artillery.

    After the Japanese troops completed their formation, the leader pressed forward towards the defenders¡¯ position with great momentum.

    "Boom boom boom"

    When the infantry began to attack, the Japanese artillery positions in the distance also began to show off their power. The artillery shells were seen falling like raindrops to the defenders' positions, unusually dense.

    The expressions of Commander Zhang and others changed again. With such dense artillery fire, one could tell at a glance that it was at least an artillery brigade, and probably more.

    On the other hand, their 59th Army has only 12 small-caliber mortars in total. As for the mountain cannon, there are only two, and the ammunition is insufficient. The only way to compare goods is to throw them away.

    More importantly, although they also have artillery, they cannot move under such circumstances. If they move, they will inevitably be retaliated by Japanese artillery, and then the possibility of being wiped out is very high.

    But without the support of artillery, it would be really difficult for the defenders in the front position to withstand such a powerful Japanese offensive.

    After thinking again and again, Commander Zhang still said to the combat staff on the side: "Commander Liu, immediately call the artillery battalion and order them to prepare for battle. When the bombardment of the little Japanese stops, they will immediately attack the infantry square of the little Japanese."  Conduct artillery bombardment.¡±

    "In addition, let the mountain artillery company launch artillery bombardment on the Japs' artillery positions, and tell our artillery that they must destroy the Japs' artillery, otherwise the future will be difficult."

    "yes!"

    While he was talking, the little devil was already very close to the defenders' position. It was estimated that the distance between the two sides was less than 400 meters. This was already within the attack range of the defenders, so the little devil began to become cautious.

    And the firepower density of the Japanese artillery has also dropped. After all, at such a close distance, an accident may hurt one of your own.

    ¡°Boom¡­¡±

    The sound of Japanese tanks was everywhere at the front of the battlefield, and there was a huge vibration on the ground. It was obvious that the distance between the two sides was very close.

    In order to conquer the defensive position in front of him in one fell swoop, Numata Shigetori also spent a lot of money and directly mobilized two squadrons of 24 tanks.

    He believed that with such powerful offensive strength, he would be able to defeat the Chinese defenders in front and capture Bengbu City.

    But what surprised Major General Shigetori Numata was that until the chariot entered the garrison position less than 200 meters away, the opposite position was still quiet and no one fought back.

    "150 meters"

    "100 metres"

    Could it be that that person has escaped?

    Well, that must be the case. The Chinese army lacked the artillery to effectively attack the tank troops, so it must have escaped.

    However, before Numata Shigetori could smile, he heard a rapid "bang" and "bang" sound coming from the front!

    The experienced Numata Shigetori subconsciously thought that this was the sound of a cannon.

    ¡°Immediately afterwards I saw something flying out from behind the defending position in the distance, followed by multiple cylindrical objects with tail fins falling from the sky and landing on the Japanese infantry team.

    "Boom boom boom"

    Rapid explosions came from the Japanese infantry phalanx, and soldiers were blown up into the sky and then fell down.

    At the same time, there was an explosion from the artillery position in the rear. Although it was not very intense, it was very loud. Obviously the opponent also had large-caliber artillery.

    Out of anger, Numata Shigetori immediately ordered the artillery to counterattack immediately and be sure to knock out the opponent's artillery.

    ? ?Afterwards, Numata Shigetori ordered the chariot troops to continue advancing and must rush into the defenders' positions.

    However, when the tank entered less than 80 meters away from the defenders' position, a Type 94 Dou tank in the front suddenly made a loud "boom", and then the entire tank was blown upside down.  , the track was also broken into several pieces and drooped on the body of the car.

    At the same time, thick black smoke came out of the tank, and many parts were scattered on the ground. It was obvious at first glance that it was completely useless.

    Then, none of the tanks in front were spared, and they were all blown up.

    "Baga, it's a landmine. That person placed a large number of mines in front of the position!" Numata Shigenori roared angrily.

    After Numata Shigetori¡¯s reminder, all the Japanese officers watching the battle discovered that the defenders had laid a large number of mines in front of the position, and their tank troops entered the minefield.

    Although the opponent's anti-tank mines are not professional, if they encounter tanks from European countries, they will definitely be of little use.

    But it is a pity that the Type 94 and Type 95 produced by the Empire are both thin and large. Not to mention the lower armor, even the front armor is only 12mm, which is just over one centimeter. How could it be possible?  For mine opponents, basically a tank will be blown up with a loud bang.

    Numata Shigetori was a little angry. He had already carried out three attacks, but he did not find that the Chinese had deployed a minefield in front of the position. This was an intolerable mistake.

    But the troops on the front line were also helpless. Although they had carried out three attacks, they never attacked a few dozen meters in front of the defenders' position. Therefore, they did not know that the opponent would have such a lethal minefield.  .

    ?????????????????????????????????????In just a few minutes, the imperial army lost four precious tanks, and dozens of people were injured. This made Major General Shigenori Numata extremely angry.

    "Baga! Order the chariot to stop advancing immediately, let the engineers come forward to clear the mines, and let the infantry pay attention to cover!"

    At the same time, Numata Shigetori continued to yell: "Order the artillery to counterattack immediately. The Chinese artillery must be killed. Hurry up, you bastard!"

    The combat staff did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly nodded and said "Hai", and then hurriedly issued the order.

    Following Numata Shigetori¡¯s order, the Japanese tank troops immediately stopped, and then a dozen engineers carefully appeared in front of the defenders¡¯ positions with professional mine-clearing tools, trying to clear mines.

    But all the Japanese engineers knew that there was a large number of troops hidden in the garrison position just a hundred meters away on the opposite side. If the opponent suddenly attacked, none of them would survive.

    "However, some people were lucky enough to survive. The powerful artillery of the imperial army just now almost blew up the defenders' first-line position. If there were still Chinese troops on the position, they would all have been killed."

    But the wish is beautiful, but the reality is skinny. As soon as the little devil appeared on the stage, he was fatally struck by the Chinese army lurking in the trenches.

    A burst of rapid gunfire suddenly sounded on the battlefield. In less than a minute, more than a dozen Japanese engineers on the frontline were all killed without exception.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
