At this time, the Ghost Team and the Dragon Soul Special Forces had already eliminated all the Japanese officers of the Second Division, and had begun to turn their guns to block the Japanese officers in the trenches and some heavy firepower points.

The Japanese officer watched the tank company of the independent battalion getting closer and closer, and hurriedly shouted: "Bagayalo! Suicide squad, get ready to blow up the tanks. Long live the Emperor, long live the Imperial Army."

It's really a matter of time.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

Now it doesn’t even take thirty years.

In just half a year, the independent battalion developed rapidly, built an American-equipped force, and completed the transformation of the situation.

In the past, the Eighth Route Army soldiers would see the Japanese tanks and then use explosives to blow up the tanks without fear of sacrifice.

But now it's the Japs' turn to use explosive packs to blow up the tanks.

There is no way to stop the attack of the independent battalion’s tanks.

"Warriors, hit them, hit them hard!"

Li Dabenshi roared, holding the M1 Garand rifle and continuously spurting out flames, killing the Japanese soldiers in the position.

The soldiers of the independent battalion were like chickens with their blood pumped up, firing madly at the Japanese.

They've been holding it in for too long.

Finally, we can have a fight.

The turret of the Sherman M4 tank continued to bombard the Japanese's heavy firepower points.

Every shot hits the target.

Da da da……

clap clap clap...

Rumble…

As the distance gets closer, the battle becomes more intense.

After a fierce battle, a small tank of the independent battalion broke down because its tracks were broken.

Now there are three tanks left.

The three tanks quickly increased their horsepower and headed straight for the Japanese positions.

Soon, the independent battalion's attacking force was less than a hundred meters away from the Japanese position.

As the independent battalion's attack distance got closer, it attracted a lot of firepower from the Japanese positions.

The independent battalion also suffered heavy casualties.

Su Zheng, who was watching the battle from the rear, had a gloomy face. He knew the time had come and said loudly, "Sun Desheng, when your cavalry company launches the attack, charge!"

"Yes!"

Sun Desheng took the order and immediately led the cavalry company to launch an attack.

When attacking the first line of defense, the cavalry company suffered more than 600 casualties, and now the total strength is less than 1,000.

But the momentum is not weak at all.

"Cavalry Company, attack!"

Ta ta ta...

The cavalry soldiers rode their horses and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese.

Seeing the cavalry company of the independent battalion attacking, they immediately organized firepower to start blocking them.

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

The Japs fired wildly.

Many cavalry soldiers were hit and fell off their horses.

But the cavalry company was still charging and attacking frantically.

Nearly a thousand cavalrymen launched a charge. The whole scene was very shocking and put a lot of psychological pressure on the Japanese.

chug chu...

Da da da……

The submachine gun platoon in the cavalry company also rode on horseback while using MP38 submachine guns, continuously firing at the positions.

Although the accuracy is limited.

But this can also provide fire cover.

"Kill Jiji, hit him!"

The Japanese commander frantically directed the battle, ordering light and heavy machine guns to open fire.

However, many of the light and heavy machine gun positions had already been destroyed by tank bombardment, and the remaining light and heavy machine gun fire points could not form an effective blocking force at all.

Moreover, the cavalry company's attack attracted the attention of the Japanese in the position.

On the other side, the tanks of the independent battalion and the tank company were conducting coordinated infantry-tank operations and were less than 50 meters away from the Japanese positions.

Under such circumstances, Li Dabenshi raised his arms and shouted, "Soldiers, charge!"

As a result, the soldiers of the independent battalion broke away from the cover of the tanks and launched a charge towards the Japanese positions.

Da da da……

chug chu...

As the soldiers charged forward, they kept pulling the triggers at the Japanese.

M1 Garand rifles spewed out flames.

Dense bullets kept flying towards the Japanese.

In terms of firepower, the independent battalion is clearly more advantageous.

When the Japanese Type 1 rifle just pulled the bolt to load and fired a shot, the M Garand rifle fired a volley of bullets and hit the target accurately.

The advantage of powerful firepower is that it can provide fire cover, and the Japanese will be hit by bullets as soon as they show their heads.

The Japanese also knew that they could not let the independent battalion break through their defense line, so they braved the dense barrage of bullets and continued to fire to block the independent battalion's charge.

Originally, the distance between the two sides was not far.

Now the soldiers of the independent battalion are charging forward in unison, and the Japanese cannot stop them.

Puff puff……

After suffering certain casualties, the first soldier of the independent battalion rushed into the Japanese trench position and fought with the Japanese in the position.

the second……

The third……

the fourth……

More and more soldiers poured into the trenches and started fighting hand-to-hand with the Japanese.

It has to be said that the infantry-tank coordination tactics of the independent battalion and the tank company have become very mature.

This can be seen from the timing of the independent battalion's charge.

It is very demanding to launch a charge when the distance between the two sides is less than 50 meters.

Because the distance was not far, as long as the independent battalion launched a quick charge, it could easily charge into the Japanese position.

If we were far away from Taiyuan, we would easily become a sitting duck.

The distance is just right.

Moreover, the independent battalion launched a charge to clear obstacles for the tanks.

If the obstacles were not cleared, the Sherman M4 tank would probably be scrapped when the Japanese suicide squad came with explosives to blow up the tank.

If they use explosive packs to blow up the tracks or the outer armor, it may still be possible to repair them.

If the Japanese bombed the bottom of the Sherman M4 tank, it would probably be scrapped and turned into scrap metal.

Therefore, if the independent battalion launched a charge at this time, it would not give the Japanese suicide squad any chance to blow up the tanks.

At the same time, the tank company's artillery and machine guns were providing fire cover for the independent battalion's charge.

The two sides complement each other and cooperate well.

This is the charm of infantry-tank coordinated tactics.

As more and more soldiers from the independent battalion rushed into the position, the Japanese second line of defense was completely torn apart.

By this time the sky was already gray and daybreak.

The light is coming.

In the rear position.

Su Zheng was observing the battle situation in front of him through a telescope, and he said loudly: "Pass on my order. Except for the troops directly under the battalion headquarters, all other troops will charge forward and make sure to capture the Japanese defensive positions!"

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly went down to convey the combat order.

Soon, the first, second, third companies, elite companies, Sichuan Army companies, special forces companies, reconnaissance companies and other front-line combat troops launched a charge towards the Japanese positions.

"Charge! Kill!"

"Warriors, kill with me!"

Company commanders Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Liu Dazhuang and others raised their arms and led the charge.

The independent battalion had first torn a hole in the Japanese position's defense line, and then the cavalry company charged again and tore another hole.

Now the Japanese's defense line has been torn apart.

If the main infantry of the independent battalion launched a charge at this time, it would definitely be possible to capture the Japanese defensive positions with minimal casualties and costs.

Da da da……

chug chu...

The soldiers charged forward with a roar as if they were injected with chicken blood, while continuously firing and killing the Japanese soldiers in the position.

After suffering certain casualties, Zhao Donghai's elite company of soldiers were the first to enter the Japanese positions and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.

Afterwards, other companies also rushed into the Japanese positions one after another, engaging in close combat and fierce fighting.

Close combat is the speciality of the independent battalion.

The soldiers of the independent battalion will use guns to solve the problem if they can, and if they cannot, they will use bayonets.

Although the 2nd Division is the most elite combat division of the Kwantung Army, the individual combat capabilities of the independent battalion are not bad at all.

After more than two hours of fighting, all the Japanese in the position were wiped out.

Su Zheng looked at the time and it was already past nine in the morning.

In other words, it took the entire independent battalion more than five hours to capture the Second Division's line of defense.

It won't be long.

But the results of the battle were also very rich.

It directly wiped out the Kwantung Army's Second Division and made great military achievements.

It only took two days for the independent battalion to completely wipe out the elite Second Division. Such a result was somewhat unexpected for Su Zheng...

The Second Division was completely wiped out. This would definitely be the biggest achievement of the independent battalion in this attack on Ping'an County.

It took more than five hours from the launch of the attack to the annihilation of the last Japanese soldier of the Second Division.

The fighting was fierce.

But the final result was good, after all, the elite Kwantung Army division was completely wiped out.
