Chapter 575 Conquering the Ground!

10 minute later.

新一团的炮兵10门150毫米重炮，12门105毫米榴弹炮，近30门迫击炮向鬼子阵地准时开炮。

Although the 150mm howitzer bombarded continuously, it was completely capable of destroying the thickened bunkers and gun towers after the devils cut corners.

But this time it was a long-range bombardment, and there was no way to guarantee that every shell of the 150mm howitzer could hit the devil's bunkers and gun towers, and there was no way to guarantee the accuracy.

The devils of the 10th Division were supported by mountain artillery and howitzers, so the artillery of the heavy artillery battalion had no chance to push the 150mm howitzers within a few hundred meters, aiming at the devils' thickened bunkers and gun towers.

Because it is hundreds of meters away from the devil's thickened bunker and gun tower, it will definitely be spotted by the devil's artillery observers.

Before the artillery could set up the 150mm howitzer, the devil's mountain cannon came.

Accompanied by an explosion like landslides and ground cracks, the devil's position seemed to be flattened, torn into pieces, and submerged in flames and gunpowder smoke.

But Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others all knew that although the artillery fire was fierce, its lethality was limited, and the devils and puppet soldiers were hiding in the tunnel.

But what they didn't know was that the devil's tunnel was neither deep nor stable.

Under the continuous bombardment of 150mm heavy artillery, two tunnels collapsed, and the devils and puppet soldiers hiding inside were buried alive.

The devils and puppet soldiers in the uncollapsed tunnel were also uncomfortable. The 150mm high-explosive grenade exploded on the ground above their heads, like thunder in their ears.

Some devils and puppet soldiers were so shaken that their seven orifices bled.

After all, this is the first time that the devils have used tunnel and reverse slope tactics on the battlefield, and they have not grasped the essence of tunnel tactics.

Under the cover of artillery fire, 4 Leopard tanks lined up in a battle formation and another 4 fire-breathing tanks followed behind. The soldiers of the fourth company maintained a three-three battle formation and advanced towards the devil's position.

The attacking tanks approached the devil's position, and the devil's mountain artillery fired in the distance, targeting the Eighth Route Army tanks.

Back-slope mortars and infantry guns were also firing, targeting infantry behind the tanks.

The devils and puppet infantry came out of the tunnel one after another, and under the mortar fire, they shot at the new regiment of tanks and infantry.

The battle is heating up.

boom!
A 75mm shell hit a Leopard tank, the whole tank shook suddenly, and a cloud of flames and gunpowder smoke suddenly rose.

However, what this shell hit was not the top of the turret of the tank, but the sloped armor on the front.

The tank gun hit backhand, and the high-explosive bomb flew out instantly. With a bang, a 37mm anti-tank gun hidden on the flank and the three devil artillerymen around it immediately flew into the sky.

The M2 heavy machine gun in the tank was spitting out flames, and in the distance there was also a new regiment of soldiers armed with light machine guns and heavy machine guns, suppressing the firepower of the devils.

Two Leopard tanks carried two 75mm mountain guns of the Devils, and the track of another fire-breathing tank was blown off and stopped in place.

The two tank soldiers inside opened the hatch and jumped out of the tank, and the devil's mountain artillery aimed at that area to launch a cluster bombardment.

Not long after, the fire-breathing tank was hit by several 75mm shells, the fuel inside exploded, and a cloud of orange-red mushrooms rose up, igniting a fire that soared into the sky.

Fortunately, the two tank soldiers withdrew quickly, otherwise there would be no bones left.

7 tanks finally approached the devil's forward position.

At this time, the mountain artillery group behind the devils had stopped firing, because if they fired again, they would accidentally injure the devils and puppet soldiers.

Some devils came over with explosives and wanted to blow up the tank, but they were either cut in half by the vehicle-mounted machine gun, or smashed into a sieve by the infantry following the tank with rifles or submachine guns.

The devil, who knew he was dead, jumped up from the position and launched a counter-charge towards the tank.

At this time, the Satan flame-breathing tank, which had been following the Leopard tank, came to the flank, accompanied by a fire dragon spouting out, and a dozen devils and puppet soldiers rushing down from the position suddenly ran into the flames head-on.

"Ahhh!"

Immediately afterwards, an extremely miserable cry came from the mouths of the devils and puppet soldiers who were covered in flames.

The other devils and puppet soldiers had never seen a tank that could breathe fire, and when they saw their teammates screaming and rolling on the ground, they immediately lost their courage to resist and fled back to their positions.

Under the cover of infantry and Panther tanks, the other two fire-breathing tanks approached the devil's bunker and gun tower.

The tank soldier turned the turret, aimed the flamethrower at the devil's bunker and gun tower, and then pressed the fire button of the flamethrower without hesitation.

Two pillars of fire erupted from the muzzle of the tank and suddenly extended towards the devil's blockhouse and gun tower.

Regardless of the size or range of the fire column, the fire-breathing tank is better than the individual flamethrower. The fire column is sprayed more than 60 meters away, and the flames instantly envelop the two gun towers and the bunker.

In the next second, the sound of machine gun fire in the bunkers and gun towers stopped abruptly, replaced by the heart-piercing Japanese-style screams of the devils.

The flame-breathing tank continued to emit fire, causing more flames to enter the bunkers and gun towers from the embrasures.

Flame tanks contain the same napalm as individual flamethrower cans.

This is a new type of gel-like gasoline, and its power is that it sticks wherever it is sprayed.

Moreover, the Satan flame-breathing tank was equipped with a Ronsen-style flamethrower. The fire penetrated deep into the bunker and the gun tower, and more and more Japanese-style screams sounded, which was creepy.

In the bunkers and gun towers, there are all devils, there are no puppet troops, and they are all devil officers and elites.

Because the devil officers and elites feel that bunkers and gun towers are safer than tunnels.

Although the Eighth Route Army has fire-breathing soldiers, there are fortifications around them, and the Eighth Route Fire-breathing soldiers may not be able to get close to bunkers and artillery towers.

The devils felt that the tanks of the Eighth Route Army could not penetrate the defenses of the bunkers and gun towers, so they were inside the bunkers and gun towers.

But the devils never imagined that the tanks of the Eighth Route Army would breathe fire?
"Ahhh!"

Immediately afterwards, the devils in the bunkers and gun towers screamed and pushed open the door and ran out, dancing and screaming in pain.

The devils and puppet soldiers who saw this scene in the position immediately lost their courage to resist.

Even the ghost soldiers of the 10th Division, who boasted of Bushido spirit, gasped, their expressions and eyes were full of horror!

For devil soldiers, they are not afraid of death, what they are afraid of is dying in pain like this.

Not to mention the puppet army, the shit is almost scared out.

Some devils and puppet soldiers turned around and fled, running wildly, while some devils and puppet soldiers got into the tunnel.

The task they received was that once the battle was unfavorable and the Eighth Route Army attacked the position, they could retreat into the tunnel and wait for reinforcements.

As a bunker and a gun tower were cleared, and the devils and puppet troops suffered more than half of the casualties, the battle was drawing to a close.

The infantry and tanks covered each other and entered the devil's position to prevent the devil from holding explosives and dying with the tank.

Under the cover of the infantry, the fire-breathing soldiers looked for the devil's tunnel entrance, aimed at the devil's tunnel entrance and pulled the trigger of the ignition handle.

The fire dragon rushed into the tunnel in an instant, and then, there was an extremely shrill scream in the tunnel.

The fire-breathing soldier is one of the most dangerous arms. After all, the fire-breathing gun has a short attack range and lacks protection. As a fire-breathing soldier, he needs to carry a fuel tank to fight. If he is not careful, he will die, and the scene is terrible.

If it is a single bunker or turret before the attack, use smoke grenades to cover the shooting field of view of the Devil machine gunner, allowing the flamethrower to reach the front of the bunker and turret.

But now, the devils have built fortifications and dug tunnels around the blockhouses and bunkers. It is not so easy for the fire-breathing soldiers to get close to the blockhouses and blockhouses.

As the fire-breathing soldiers sprayed fire into the tunnels, more and more devils and puppet soldiers hiding in the tunnels were burned into roast pigs.

In the end, in front of the terrifying flames, the remaining devils and puppet soldiers in the tunnel all chose to put down their weapons and surrender.

……

In the rear, the headquarters of the First Battalion.

In the field of vision of the telescope, under the cover of 4 Leopard tanks and 4 Satan tanks, the fourth company took the position in less than half an hour.

Zhang Dabiao, the deputy battalion commander, and the trainer all had a hint of surprise in their expressions and eyes.

The Leopard tank is powerful, they have seen it before, and this is the first time they have seen the flame-breathing tank.

"This flame-breathing tank is a bit powerful!"

"Head, how much price did you get from Consultant Chen?"

Zhang Dabiao's tone was emotional, he glanced at Chen Feng and then at Li Yunlong.

The most difficult part of attacking this position is how to deal with the devil's thickened bunkers and gun towers. The heavy machine gun firepower in these two fortifications poses a great threat to the infantry.

The devil's tunnel and reverse slope tactics are immature, and their firepower is not strong compared to the new group. With the addition of fire-breathing tanks, they can take the position within half an hour.

"how much?"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao and said: "I exchanged this with 20 150-meter howitzers and two 2mm heavy howitzers. There are a total of 203 egg-spraying fire-breathing tanks. The other dozen tanks went to Ping'an County and Anhua. In the direction of the county seat, the attack is going."

Although during the attack, a Satan flame-breathing tank was given a chance by the devil's shells, but fortunately the tank soldiers withdrew in time.

As for the destroyed fire-breathing tank, Boss Chen will naturally reimburse him after the war.

"Da Biao, I order!"

"Change to another company and continue to attack the devils!"

Looking at the results of the flame-breathing tank, Li Yunlong looked very satisfied, if the future battles are as smooth as this.

Then the Xinyi Regiment's attack speed, as long as it is faster than the speed at which the Japanese engineers dig tunnels, the Xinyi Regiment can quickly defeat the Japanese 10th Division.

The flame-breathing tank did not give the new regiment an overwhelming advantage, but it greatly reduced the casualties of the soldiers and increased the speed of capturing the devil's position.

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao stood up and responded loudly, and then arranged for the 5th company to continue to attack the devils with the cooperation of tanks and howitzers.

At this time, the truck transporting napalm had arrived, and the Satan tank filled with napalm continued to move to the next devil's position.
