At 8:30 a.m. on the 23rd, the Japanese troops at the east gate and the north gate conducted a tentative attack at the same time. The Japanese troops at the two gates each sent a squadron of troops to the battlefield.
As expected, the defenders were easily repelled, and most of the soldiers in the two squadrons were killed!
Then the Japanese artillery showed off its power again. Under the guidance of the observers, the artillery shells fell on the defenders' positions as if they had eyes, and the exposed machine gun positions were visited one by one.
Those light and heavy machine guns that were too late to be withdrawn were destroyed one after another, and the defenders suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, Brigadier Wan also knew the value of light and heavy machine guns. How could the city defense battle be carried out without these things? Therefore, during the layout, most of the light and heavy machine guns were deliberately put into the bunker.
After all, the bunker is very solid. It is made of granite and cement. In addition to cement prefabricated boards, it is also covered with various sleepers, soil, sand and gravel.
Not to mention the mortars and infantry artillery of the Japs, even those mountain artillery and field artillery with a caliber exceeding 75mm will be useless unless the Japs use those field heavy artillery with a caliber exceeding 100.
But neither the 10th Division, a first-class division, nor the 110th Division are equipped with field heavy artillery, not even a single one. Therefore, it is safest to place light and heavy machine guns in bunkers!
At the same time, Commander Chang followed Li Guoyao's suggestion and placed many models of heavy machine guns outside the city to attract the firepower of the Japs.
These models are made by carpenters in the city according to the proportion of heavy machine guns. They are then painted with black paint, dried and placed on the battlefield with one or two ammunition boxes next to them. There is no way to tell whether it is true or false.
Therefore, many of the machine gun positions outside contain models of one light machine gun and two heavy machine guns. After all, the light machine gun is light and can be removed at any time, while the heavy machine gun is not easy to remove if placed outside.
But the Japanese army didn't know all this. Under the guidance of the observation sentries, they continued to shell the machine gun positions on the defenders' positions, blowing up and destroying the "machine guns" one after another, and achieved considerable "results."
Feeling that it was almost done, Major General Nagano, the Japanese commander at the east gate of Heze, immediately ordered the troops to launch a second attack!
Compared with the previous crude exploratory attack, this Japanese attack was not only larger in scale, but also had aircraft coming to assist, as well as artillery and tanks. It seems that the Japanese army wanted to complete their victory in one battle and capture Heze City in one fell swoop.
From the binoculars, Brigadier Wan and others watched the Japanese troops in neat formation, pressing toward the garrison position in a dark mass, with their hearts in their throats.
At the same time, there was a loud buzzing sound from aircraft engines in the sky, and several Japanese fighter planes appeared in the sky, apparently calling for fire support from the Japs.
However, Brigadier Wan was not afraid. Instead, he turned to the operator on the side and said, "Get me the division headquarters!"
"yes!"
The call was quickly connected, and Mr. Chang¡¯s honest voice came from the other end of the phone: ¡°I¡¯m Lao Chang, Qingbo?¡±
"Master, the Japs' attack has begun again. This time they dispatched a large group of infantry, as well as a large number of tanks and aircraft. We are not afraid of the infantry. We also have ways to deal with the Iron Bastards, but those fighters are No, I think it¡¯s time for the anti-aircraft artillery battalion to take action!¡±
"Well, I will notify them, just don't worry!"
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Brigadier Wan immediately said to the combat staff on the side: "Call the artillery battalion and order them to prepare for battle. When the bombardment of the little devil stops, he will immediately launch an artillery bombardment on the artillery position of the little devil. The Japanese artillery at the front only has at most one mountain artillery brigade, and the rest are all in the rear. Tell our artillery that we must destroy the little Japanese artillery, otherwise life will be difficult in the future."
"yes!"
"Call Commander Li on the front line again. The little devils are coming. Ask them to prepare for a counterattack. Don't worry about the big iron birds above. Someone will take care of them!"
"yes!"
Dividing line
At this time, the unknowing Japanese army had already launched an attack!
Under the cover of artillery fire, more than 20 Japanese tanks cleared the way, followed by a large number of infantry!
Since the Chinese army does not have any anti-tank weapons, the Japanese army is quite arrogant, with more than twenty tanks running rampant in World of Tanks, without any sign of coordinated combat between tanks and infantry.
This time the Japanese army is ironHe is determined to capture the garrison position and is ready for a bloody battle!
But what surprised Major General Nagano was that until the chariot entered a distance of less than 200 meters from the Z/Na position, the Z/Na position was still quiet and no one made a counterattack.
"150 meters"
"100 metres"
When the chariot entered the garrison position less than a hundred meters away, the chariot at the front suddenly made a loud "boom".
Then, the entire chariot was blown to pieces, and the tracks were broken into several pieces and hung down on the body of the vehicle!
At the same time, thick black smoke came out of the tank, and it was obvious at first glance that it was completely destroyed.
In this case, not only the tank was scrapped, but also the lives of the tank soldiers were basically unsafe under the huge explosion shock wave!
But the Japanese army didn¡¯t care. One tank was destroyed. It didn¡¯t matter. After all, they had dozens of tanks. It didn¡¯t matter even if they were all killed, as long as they could rush into the opponent¡¯s trenches.
But what Nagano and others didn¡¯t expect was that this was just the beginning!
When the Japanese offensive troops entered a hundred meters in front of the defenders' position, violent explosions were heard on the battlefield, one after another, lasting for a long time.
And none of the seven or eight Japanese tanks in front were spared, and they were all blown up!
With so many tanks all lying down, the Japanese army belatedly discovered that this army had laid a large number of mines in front of the position, and they had entered the minefield.
And judging from the huge power of these mines, it is obvious that the opponent prepared them for their tanks. After all, ordinary anti-infantry mines do not have this power.
The previous attack was just a tentative attack, so the Japanese army only sent less than one infantry squadron and was repulsed more than 200 meters away from the defenders' position. It was not clear that the defenders were actually in the position. A minefield was laid in front.
Major General Nagano saw clearly in the telescope and knew that he had fallen into the opponent's trap and suffered a big loss!
In just a few minutes, the imperial army lost 8 precious tanks, and hundreds of infantry casualties. The losses were really considerable.
Major General Nagano was angry, really angry. The huge loss made his blood surge up, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was like a wounded beast, without any military demeanor at all.
I just heard him yelling angrily: "Baga! Order the chariot to stop advancing immediately, let the engineers go forward to clear the mines, and the infantry pay attention to cover."
Major General Nagano is a proud man. He has always looked down on the Chinese army. In his opinion, although the Chinese army seems to have adapted to this war, they are still weak at heart, just like their people and government.
To deal with these cowardly guys, you must maintain a strong offensive posture and let these people know that there is only one end for going against the Imperial Japanese Army, and that is to be completely crushed until they turn into dust!
And a failure like this is simply a great humiliation in his opinion. He has never suffered such an insult in so many years, so he must return it.
He will use the blood and head of the supporter/that person to erase today's humiliation. He will take down this support/that small town with a victor's attitude, and kill all the stubborn supporter/that person inside to show himself. The bravery! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
