Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

I think the Imperial Army is powerful!

Fearless!

It would be too embarrassing for the independent battalion to ask for help before launching an attack.

Furthermore... Yoshizawa Hirano thought: Isn't this just a battalion? How many troops can it have? The fortifications and Japanese puppet troops at Xinfengkou are not vegetarians.

In Yoshizawa Hirano's opinion: even if Yoshizawa Battalion and the 111th Regiment could not defend Xinfengkou, they could still stop the attack of the independent battalion and there was enough time to ask for help.

After thinking about it, Yoshizawa Hirano finally came to the conclusion: Although the independent battalion is very strong, it is not invincible, so there is no need to ask for help for the time being.

“Captain Ma, are you scared by the independent battalion?” Yoshizawa Hirano looked at Ma Ming and shouted, “Isn’t it just an independent battalion? There’s no need for us to ask for help before the battle even starts! This is not the style of our Imperial Army!”

"The independent battalion does have some combat effectiveness, but we have so many Imperial Army and Imperial Alliance Army."

"With such strong fortifications, can't they stop the attack of a battalion? That's a joke!"

"So don't panic. Let's wait and see how powerful his independent battalion is!"

Ma Ming: "But... Captain Yoshizawa... Independent Battalion..."

Before he could finish his words, Yoshizawa Hirano interrupted Ma Ming and said, "Captain Ma, if you dare to shake the morale of the troops again, I will punish you by military law!"

"Pass on my order. All units must prepare for battle. Anyone who dares to desert the battlefield will be punished by military law!"

"Hayi!"

The adjutant went down to convey the order.

All the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinfengkou were on high alert.

One minute has passed.

Yang Zhihua checked the time and then shouted, "Fire!"

Give an order.

The artillery company's various artillery pieces started firing rapidly.

dong dong dong...

swish swish...  

Shells kept flying out of the barrels, dragging long tails of fire, drawing an arc in the air, and then slamming heavily into the fortifications of the Xinfengkou defense position.

Rumble...

bongbongbong......

Boom boom boom...

In an instant, the entire defensive position was covered by artillery fire.

Smoke filled the air.

The fire suddenly appeared!

Shrapnel flew everywhere.

The shock wave generated by the explosion continued to impact and destroy the fortifications in the position, while shrapnel continued to kill the Japanese and puppet troops in the position!

Puff puff......

Japanese and puppet troops kept falling down.

They did not build tunnels or bunkers in their positions, and hiding in fortifications was no way to avoid such fierce artillery bombardment.

Rumble...

bongbongbong......

Artillery shells continued to hit the defensive positions at Xinfengkou.

The fierce artillery fire...dealt a severe blow to the Japanese and puppet troops in the defensive positions.

Senseless!

Ma Ming and Yoshizawa Hirano were confused.

They didn't expect that the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion would be so fierce!

Isn’t it said that the Eighth Route Army is a local Eighth Route Army?

Aren’t there a severe shortage of ammunition?

But it feels like there are a lot of shells!

Because the independent battalion had previously introduced itself, this planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Now they were faced with such fierce bombardment, which caused the fear in the hearts of the Japanese and puppet troops to spread rapidly.

Even more scared!

Under this fierce artillery fire, they finally experienced the power of the independent battalion.

At the same time, the tank company and the independent battalion, under the coordinated tactics of infantry and tanks, began to attack the defensive essence of Xinfengkou.

buzzing...

Huhuhu......

Two Sherman medium tanks were in the front.

There are two Bean Tanks on the left and right sides at the back.

The soldiers of the independent battalion relied on the cover of tanks and advanced forward in a coordinated manner between infantry and tanks.

Da da da......

clap clap clap...

Seeing the tank company and the independent battalion launching an attack, the light and heavy machine guns in the bunker's turret began firing.

Bump, Bump...

Bullets kept hitting the armor of the Sherman tank, but none of them could penetrate the armor.

After all, the Sherman tank's armor thickness and shooting ability both protect the tank to the greatest extent.

The bullets from these light and heavy machine guns left quite a few craters on the tank armor.

Crunch...Crack...

The Sherman tank's shells kept rotating, aiming at the two artillery towers of the Xinfengkou defensive position.

dong dong dong...

A tank shell flew out directly.

bump......

Accurately hit the artillery tower and bunker.

The Sherman tank is a medium tank with extremely strong power.

The shell directly penetrated the wall of the artillery tower and bunker, followed by a loud explosion.

Rumble...

bongbongbong......

The Japanese and puppet troops in the artillery tower and bunker were killed instantly.

I have to say, the Sherman tank is really powerful!

Tank company commander Xu Yang was sitting in the tank. Seeing this scene, he was also very excited and said, "Hahaha... Great, I didn't expect this tank to be so powerful!"

Originally, the biggest threat to the soldiers charging into the attack was the artillery towers and bunkers.

Because it is a very solid defensive fortification, occupying a high ground and having fierce firepower.

However, now under the continuous bombardment of the Sherman tanks, the Japanese and puppet troops in the artillery towers and bunkers were killed one by one.

The bunker turret that had been continuously spitting out flames suddenly went silent.

As the four tanks continued to advance, they soon came within the range of the rifles of both sides.

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of infantry-tank coordination, the independent battalion also used the M1 Garand rifle.

The soldiers of the independent battalion, relying on the cover of tanks, began shooting at the Japanese and puppet troops in the defensive positions.

Da da da......

clap clap clap...

The M1 Garand rifle was constantly spurting out flames.

Dense bullets continued to fly towards the Japanese and puppet troops in the positions.

Such an offensive force instantly stunned both Ma Ming and Yoshizawa Hirano.

Not to mention that they were stunned, even the commander of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters must have been very shocked to see the independent battalion, which was fully armed, launching such an offensive.

The boss never expected that the independent battalion would also have tanks, and that they would form such a powerful combat capability...

Chapter 364: General attack by tens of thousands of people in the independent battalion! Shocking! (Third update, please subscribe)

At this time, the artillery company's shelling had ended.

The independent battalion's vanguard tank company and independent battalion were less than 300 meters away from the Japanese and puppet army's defensive positions.

Fast forward.

buzzing...

Huhuhu......

The tanks move forward.

The turrets of the two Sherman tanks kept turning, aiming at the Japanese light and heavy machine gun positions.

dong dong dong...

swish swish...  

Rumble...

Every time we fired the artillery, we could kill a lot of Japanese and puppet troops.

The main focus of the attack is on their main firepower points.

At the same time, the machine gunners on the tanks continued to fire at the Japanese and puppet troops in the positions.

Da da da......

chug chu...

The machine gun mounted on the Sherman tank is a heavy machine gun with great power, which continuously spews out flames.

The burning bullets kept spurting out, killing many Japanese soldiers and traitors.

The two pod tanks do not have cannons, but are assumed to have machine guns.

Da da da......

clap clap clap...

The machine guns on the Douding tanks also continuously spewed out flames, and dense bullets flew towards the Japanese and puppet troops.

In addition, the armor of the Douding tank has been strengthened, reinforced and thickened, so it can block the attacks of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns.

The tanks were advancing in front, followed by the soldiers of the independent battalion.

"Hit me!"

Li Dabenshi held an M1 Garand rifle and kept firing wildly at the Japanese and puppet troops in the position.

chug chu...

Da da da......

Bullets kept flying towards the Japanese and puppet troops in the positions.

The infantry and tanks are a perfect match, constantly providing fire cover for the tanks' advance and expanding the results of the battle.

Every time an infantry soldier fell, a new soldier would quickly take his place, and they would continue to advance with the help of tanks.
