Driving a tank to attack the enemy's defense line, rush to a nearby location and open fire.

Now Wei Mingyang didn't need to bother, he just used tank guns to bombard the bunker.

Li Zhongxian's fourth battalion was charging at the front, and at the front were the four tanks his battalion had just equipped.

This made Li Zhongxian extremely happy.

Especially when I see the leader personally operating a tank gun, I am always fascinated by the tanks within sight.

The officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion were simply stunned.

Also stunned were the Eighty-seventh and Seventy-first Divisions of the National Army on both sides of the line of defense.

They were separated by the Japanese defense line. They had been attacked from both sides in the morning and had tried their best to attack.

But it couldn't do anything about the Japanese fortress, and it just added a lot of soldier corpses to the open ground.

Now I saw four tanks clearing the way in front, followed by five or six hundred Chinese soldiers, rushing straight in.

The Eighty-seventh Division and the Seventy-first Division were definitely not satisfied with watching the battle, and they launched an attack on the Japanese at the same time.

This made the 22nd Japanese Infantry Regiment defending this line extremely uncomfortable.

Captain Lin Ryunosuke was in a very good mood today. Yesterday afternoon, he saw the way the national army attacked.

I was shocked by the attacks of the Japanese soldiers one after another, and later I heard that the defense line of the Kokura Mountain climbing brigade had been breached.

Captain Hayashi Ryunosuke was very scared, and later he came up with a combat preparation plan issued by the division staff.

This gave me a little peace of mind.

The new combat method was put through actual combat this morning. It not only withstood attacks from two directions by the National Army, but also killed and wounded many National Army soldiers.

This made Captain Hayashi Ryunosuke very excited: the more national troops it holds back, the more beneficial it will be for the subsequent encirclement and suppression operations.

The division commander has issued a new battle plan: just this afternoon, the Chongteng detachment will launch an attack on the national army north of its defense line.

At that time, the 22nd Infantry Regiment rushed out from the defense line.

Under attack from two sides, this national army team will definitely collapse if it cannot bear it.

But after they collapsed, they had no place to escape, and their only fate was to be annihilated.

Captain Hayashi Ryunosuke was originally waiting for orders to cooperate with the attack.

But we waited for a call for help from Squadron Leader Torataro Tadokoro: It was said that its defense line was being attacked by the national army and the situation was precarious.

Captain Hayashi Ryunosuke looked at the front of the defense line, which was extremely quiet, and then looked at the same quietness behind the defense line.

Where did the national army's attack come from?

There were two cannon blasts from the other end of the phone, and then a busy signal.

What's going on?

Captain Hayashi Ryunosuke stood on top of the bunker, looked around, and finally discovered something was wrong on the eastern front.

Smoke and dust kept rising into the sky from the east, which was obviously the national army attacking from the east.

When Squadron Leader Nono Daiki called for help, Captain Hayashi Ryunosuke finally understood a little bit:

The national army drives the tanks of the imperial army to attack.

Bunkers simply cannot withstand the bombardment of tank guns. It often takes only two, or at most three, for a bunker to collapse.

It is now unable to withstand the attack of National Army tanks.

This puts Captain Hayashi Ryunosuke in a dilemma: it doesn't have a combat anti-tank gun that can hit tanks.

what to do?

At this time, it wished that the Chongteng detachment could attack two hours earlier!

Now it can only report that the defense line has been targeted by the national army, and hopes that the commander of the regiment, Shirakawa Yoki, can send a combat defense artillery team over;

Or ask the aviation force to come over and conduct a round of bombing on those tanks.

Captain Shirakawa Youki is very supportive of sending combat artillery to support: but there are two main divisions of the national army between it and Hayashi Ryunosuke's brigade.

The anti-aircraft artillery team simply cannot get through.

The only thing that can be done is to ask for guidance from the aviation force. After all, the Second and Third Aviation Teams are only a river away from the battlefield.

Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa heard that the 11th Infantry Division once again requested aviation guidance, and this time he specifically requested:

Bombers were sent to bomb the tanks controlled by the national army.

This request is not excessive, but what is excessive is that it only lost nine fighter jets on that battlefield yesterday.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi was extremely reluctant to send planes into battle.

It's not that it doesn't want to send planes out, it just doesn't want to send planes into the combat range of the 11th Infantry Division.

For example, the planes it sent out today to perform missions in urban Shanghai were perfect. Twenty-three planes were sent out, and twenty-three planes came back.

Nothing to lose, what a perfect guide.

But recently in the suburbs of Shanghai, it has lost 86 aircraft, which is really a heavy loss.

In the end, Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa had to send two aviation squadrons, eighteen bombers, and six fighter jets to escort.

Wei Mingyang's regiment moved very quickly, and he opened the way in front.

Responsible for building bunkers and fortresses.

I have already had experience and fully understand the specifications and distances used by the Japanese to build these buildings.

Wei Mingyang had no difficulty in fighting. The other three tanks were responsible for cooperating with the infantry and clearing out the Japanese who were hiding in the trenches and resisting.

The fourth battalion kept advancing in front, and the first battalion was responsible for cleaning the battlefield behind.

The second camp and the third camp at the back are simply for tourism.

They had nothing to do. Even the Japanese who escaped had to be cleaned up by brothers from the 87th Division and the 71st Division on the left and right.

The special operations mixed group's attack went smoothly, and Song Xilian was certainly the happiest:

The back of his division was finally safe, and not only that.

The 71st Division, which was originally isolated at the back, had now entered the Japanese defense line.

The enemy turned from a Japanese enemy to a friendly army. Although the relationship between the two parties was not good, they could not help each other.

But at least there won't be any stabbings in the back.

The special operations mixed group's attack went smoothly and it should be said that it was overwhelming.

With Wei Mingyang in front destroying the Japanese bunkers and fortresses, it was like putting on a show in front of the Thirty-sixth Division and the Eighty-seventh Division.

The officers and soldiers of these two divisions watched the enemy's bunkers collapse under the shelling. Those bunkers that cost many brothers their lives have now become the enemy's graves.

In particular, the attack speed of this team was so fast that the Japanese had no chance to react, and the bunker collapsed.

None of the dozens of Japanese soldiers still inside the bunker could escape.

This kind of textbook-level offensive battle made the soldiers excited and wanted to charge again.

The news was passed directly to the Nanjing Military Commission. This news finally made the staff standing in front of the sand table heave a sigh of relief.

They knew very well: The possibility of Song Xilian's report was very high.

If the Japanese's second line of defense could not be knocked out in time, two division commanders were sent out and were not allowed to return.

The possibility of being made dumplings by Japanese soldiers is very high.
