Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 944 Chapter 943, The Growing Eighth Route Army

The 17th Regiment was just an ordinary reorganization regiment, one of more than 100 main regiments, with a strength of just over 2500. With so many troops guarding such a large position, it seemed a bit insufficient.

But don't forget that there are tunnels here. The 14th and 15th Regiments of the Jiluyu Division are waiting secretly around, and they can go through the tunnels to enter the village at any time. Of course, if the 17th Regiment can't hold it, it can also withdraw, which is very flexible. Moreover, in the tunnels in the village, the stretcher team of the local militia organization and the field hospital of the military division are also there, and they can rescue the wounded at any time.

In a word, in order to fight the Japanese here, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Sub-district has made full preparations and is waiting for the upcoming head-on battle!
The battle did not start quickly... because the enemy was not advancing very fast, and was still moving forward slowly. However, as time went on, at the westernmost part of the position, an armored assault team consisting of 12 tanks had already pressed onto the fallen barbed wire and then rolled over it.

Rumble... The engine made a roaring sound, and the Japanese soldiers behind followed the tanks carefully, as if these tanks could shield them from all damage.

Knowing the power of tanks, the soldiers guarding the outermost trenches did not open fire rashly. Instead, they quietly turned sideways, poking a corner of their eyes through the shooting holes, and looked in the direction of the Japanese tanks' advance.

Rumble... creak... After the tanks passed, the barbed wire was pressed into the soil, leaving two gullies on the ground. The Japanese soldiers, who already had short legs, looked even shorter when walking in these gullies. However, this greatly reduced the area of ​​the Japanese soldiers exposed to bullets, and the gullies played a certain role like trenches.

The tank continued to move forward and soon arrived at the location of the original anti-tank cones! Before the war, the anti-tank cones here were densely packed in an array, which gave the Japanese tankers a headache. But during the bombing just now, they clearly saw that these anti-tank cones were just for show, with mud inside and cement outside. Some of them were not even cement, but directly painted with wood ash.

So now, except for some stubborn anti-tank cones standing alone in the array, the rest of the anti-tank cones have turned into scorched earth. And the Japanese drivers are no longer afraid to move forward, and they drive forward without hesitation.

Boom boom... Several tanks crashed into the anti-tank cones, easily crushing them into pieces and scattering them all over the ground. But there were one or two unlucky ones who crashed into an anti-tank cone carved from a large bluestone. As a result, the car was unlucky and almost overturned under the impact of the anti-tank cone.

Just as the car slid sideways and finally straightened itself, about 150 meters to the east, a lot of Eighth Route Army soldiers with rocket launchers suddenly appeared. As soon as these Eighth Route Army soldiers appeared, they aimed their rocket launchers at the slowly moving tanks.

At the same time, at the position of the first company on the east side, the sound of the No. 6 heavy machine gun was heard, and six fire snakes shot out from two trenches, hitting the tanks with a bang, forming ricochets.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... the ricocheted bullets grazed the car body and flew aimlessly around, causing several casualties to the Japanese infantry following behind. There was no way, there were always so many unlucky people on the battlefield!
This was nothing, because at the same time as the heavy machine guns were firing, there were also sounds of grenade launchers and 60 mortars firing. And all the artillery attacks were aimed at the Japanese infantry lined up behind the tanks.

Tanks can block direct bullets, but they are helpless against indirect mortar shells and grenade launchers, because these two weapons are designed to hit the target from a distance!
Chirp, chirp, chirp... Boom, boom... When the explosion sounded from the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of them also pulled the trigger in their hands, making the rocket launcher emit a loud noise. Then, the rockets broke free from the restraints of the rocket launcher and went towards the Japanese tanks. "Baga, what is that?" A Japanese soldier in the Japanese tank saw the flying trace through the observation window, but didn't know what it was.

Then, as he screamed in surprise and fear, the entire tank seemed to shake, and the Japanese heard explosions. Before they could react, they saw a flash before their eyes, and the hot metal jet hit them.

"Ahhh..." The nearly 5-degree metal jet hit the inside of the vehicle, was blocked and dispersed, and then flew in all directions, hitting many tank crew members. Amid the desperate howls of the Japanese soldiers, the tank stopped and there was no movement. The situation of the other five tanks was similar to that of this tank, all of which were hit by rockets and stopped.

In other words, with just one encounter, the anti-tank bazooka soldiers successfully eliminated half of the tanks.

After firing the rockets, the soldiers in the foxholes in front did not fire a second rocket, but quickly moved along the narrow and rugged communication trench towards their main position. Behind them, a jujube tree covered with thorns was dragged and blocked the entrance of the communication trench.

The soldiers returned to their team, but the remaining tanks would not give up! The rocket launcher had just fired too loudly, so the remaining tank drivers all understood one thing - the weapon on their shoulders was destined to be a powerful anti-tank weapon. If it happened again, the remaining 6 tanks would most likely not survive!

Based on this judgment, the next thing is very simple - we must not let the Eighth Route Army fire the second shell!
Therefore, the devils chose the most direct and effective method - firing, to blow up the Eighth Route Army's rocket launcher soldiers first! However, the distance was a bit close, the firing angle was not right, and they could not fire.

It was a bit embarrassing, the Japanese had no other choice, and they couldn't count on the infantry behind them that were being bombed, so they could only bite the bullet and charge! Because the Japanese were in the tank, their observation angle was limited, and they didn't know that the Eighth Route Army that had just released the rocket had retreated, so they made the next move - fully accelerating, bypassing the anti-tank cones that they didn't know were real or fake, and making a serpentine maneuver in the open space in front...

Once we get close to where the Eighth Route Army is, we can use the machine guns on the vehicle or other weapons to deal with them. Of course, the premise is that they are not killed while moving!
Rumble... The engine emitted thick smoke, and the Japanese tank accelerated suddenly, bypassing those isolated anti-tank cones and coming to the flat and unobstructed ground. Then, the tank began to move in a serpentine manner, intending to approach the location of the foxholes more than a hundred meters ahead.

However, the accelerating tank had not driven many meters when it was suddenly covered by flames, and the entire body of the tank was blown up more than half a meter high. That's right, the big iron pancake finally had a chance to show its power... (End of this chapter)
