"Boom!" With a loud bang, the Japanese tank was covered by fireworks, and the metal tracks were clattering and broke into two pieces.

Anti-tank mines?! The Japanese who were hit were a little panicked, not because of the number of casualties, but because the tank was destroyed, which surprised the Japanese. Although the tanks were not invincible, when fighting against the Chinese army, they always had to pay a lot of lives of Chinese soldiers to blow up this steel monster.

After a little hesitation and hesitation, the Japanese tanks started again, firing more dense bullets in retaliation, and the tank gun also spit out flames, shooting the shells at the opponent's position.

"Boom!" Another tank was paralyzed in the explosion of flames, and even the fuel tank ignited flames. As soon as the tank top cover opened, the tank's hand appeared, half of its body was still inside the tank, and a string of bullets suddenly flew over. The guy seemed to have been shocked by electric shock and fell back in dejectedly.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese and puppet army was the commander of the sixth regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Third Division. Masao Yamashima was the leader of the sixth regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Third Division. In the telescope, he saw that his side had lost two tanks in succession. He was surprised and hurriedly ordered the tanks to stop advancing and cover the infantry charge.

The cannon fodder unit that charges in front is naturally the puppet army, the second battalion of the 14th Division of Li Boying, who rushed out from behind the tanks and shouted to launch an attack under the cover of tanks and machine guns.

Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, eighty meters... With the sound of muffled sounds, white smoke rose from the defenders' positions, and more than a dozen 60 mortar shells smashed down.

The explosion of fires rose one after another, the soil and snow dust were flying, mixed with deadly and violent shrapnel. The puppet army's stormtroopers were immediately blown up. As the flesh and blood were flying, screaming and wailing endlessly, and from time to time, you could see the broken limbs and broken arms flying in the air.

Under the cover of the smoke and dust caused by the artillery fire, the defenders emerged from the trenches, and light and heavy weapons opened fire together, and dense bullets that were as dense as rain were pouring on the enemy.

Blood splashed and the corpse fell to the ground. After rushing through the area bombed by artillery fire, the puppet troops were fired again by fierce cross-fire, and they were seriously injured and retreated in a mess. The artillery fire and machine guns ruthlessly chased the retreating enemies, turning the scum among the Chinese into ugly and cold corpses.

The first attack with a strong tentative nature ended. Soon, the Japanese army launched a second attack with tanks parked more than 300 meters in front of the position.

More enemies gathered behind the tanks lined up. Amid the roar of tank guns and the noise of machine guns, they were waiting for the orders above to prepare for the next charge.

The time was right. The regiment commander Qin Hanqing observed clearly and immediately issued an order to the artillery according to the pre-war drill plan.

More than a dozen 82 mortars were set up in a hidden place two kilometers behind the front line. The red flag waved and immediately bombarded the area behind the tank with three rapid shots.

In the horrified gaze of Masao Yamashima, dozens of mortar shells landed behind the tank in more than ten seconds. Amid the explosions one after another, the Japanese and puppet troops with great density were blown upside down, with heavy casualties.

This is the first time that the New Seventh Army's artillery used air bombs to attack the enemy. Although there was a layer of thin snow, the land was hard and the effect of use was not greatly affected.

Amid the fearful eyes of the Japanese and puppet troops, the shells fell and jumped up again, and a dazzling flash burst out in the air. Amid the loud noise, shrapnel flew rapidly, sweeping across all living things on the ground. Ordinary shells were mixed in the air bombs, which exploded on the ground to lift up dirt and snow, throwing the broken limbs and gun parts into the air.

The flesh and blood were flying everywhere, the smoke of gunpowder filled with tears and howlings were endless. After a long time, the chaos caused by the sudden attack of artillery fire stopped.

The Japanese artillery quickly calculated the elements, adjusted the muzzle, and covered and bombarded the opponent's artillery positions. However, their shells only landed on the empty land, and the artillery of the New Seventh Army had hidden in the underground shelter with mortars.

The tunnels and underground shelter have been promoted in the base areas and in the army. Those with military combat significance will be constructed by the engineers. Although the tunnels have requirements for soil quality, there is no way to solve them. They can dig and support them, repair more drainage facilities, and even reinforce them with steel and cement.

Of course, for now, steel and cement are precious and cannot be used in large quantities, but civil fortifications are cleverly repaired and have a very powerful effect.

The revenge of artillery fire had no effect, and the enemy temporarily retreated. Under the fierce shooting of the defending machine guns and rifles, many of the Japanese corpses were left in front of the positions, and no one paid attention to the puppet army.

The battlefield was silent. Li Zengyin, the commander of the Third Regiment of the Eighth Division, put down his telescope and sighed in his heart. As a new garrison, although he was already familiar with the position, he was still allowed to fight the First Regiment of the Independent Brigade of the New Seventh Army. The Third Regiment was both observing and learning, and then as a reserve team, they would be responsible for reinforcement of the main position and guarding against the enemy's flanks.

And Yang Tianfeng dared to set up a regiment in Long Kang, so he naturally had his confidence. The artillery was strengthened, the commander was experienced, and the troops were also tried and tested.

"Captain Li." The call from a distance interrupted Li Zengyin's feelings and thoughts. When he turned around, he saw that the leader Lu Peng and his old partner Gao Rongli came over.

"Captain Lu, Chief of Staff Gao—" Li Zengyin quickly met and nodded repeatedly, "You are fighting so well!"

"It's too much, it's too much." Lu Peng waved his hand to express his humility, but the expression on his face could not hide his pride.

"We have a long time to prepare, so it will be sufficient." Chief of Staff Gao Rongli smiled and said, "The Japanese were frustrated head-on, and they should probably use old tricks - to attack in a roundabout way!"

Li Zengyin nodded and said, "Please give orders from two people. The third regiment will definitely not let the Japanese trick succeed."

"What orders are not ordered? Commander Li is too polite." Gao Rongli waved, and the staff behind him came up to open the map.

Seeing Gao Rongli reaching out to him, Lu Peng smiled, stepped forward and pointed and said, "This is Wohe, this is Longkang Town. If the enemy wants to attack in a roundabout way, it can only be Guan Temple in the north. There is a company that defends. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, I would like to ask your delegation to send a battalion to reinforce the place."

"No problem." Li Zengyin agreed very simply and said, "Can our department take on part of the front defense also take on part of it? It's a bit unreasonable to just look at it!"
