    He needs to use the lives of his soldiers to expose more enemy firepower points.

    Seeing that the Japanese troops were still advancing, the anti-tank weapons of the Eighth Route Army continued to roar.

    ¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±

    In the third round of salvo, the third Japanese tank had just fired three shells. Before it had time to load the fourth shell, two anti-tank shells penetrated the armor from the front.

    At the same time, several rockets launched also fell into the Japanese infantry group at this time.

    The Japanese troops who gathered near the tanks and wanted to avoid the firepower from the opposite side probably would not have thought that now their tanks would become the target of concentrated fire, and they would suffer as well.

    The main reason is that the Japanese tanks are too fragile. The outer armor plate can be penetrated directly even with a 30mm caliber armor-piercing projectile.

    This is still a Japanese tank, with the outer armor plate thickened.

    If it were before, on the Songhu battlefield, some Japanese tanks were directly penetrated by 12.7 mm bullets because their armor was too weak.

    Now that their armor has been enhanced, they are not equipped to withstand anti-tank rocket launchers.

    It¡¯s not that the Japanese army didn¡¯t know how vulnerable their tanks were.

    But the crux of the problem is that they cannot solve a series of problems.

    The first is the power and weight of the tank, the trade-off between the two.

    Their engine technology is not as good as Europe and the United States at this time.

    Therefore, the tonnage of the tank cannot be too large. If it is too large, the maneuverability will be greatly reduced.

    The enemy's infantry and anti-tank weapons can directly use these tanks with poor maneuverability as living targets.

    The tonnage of tanks is not too large, so the thickness of their armor cannot be increased.

    Because every millimeter increase in armor thickness means that the overall weight of the tank is increasing.

    In addition, there is another important problem, which is that the Japanese army¡¯s steel quantity, gasoline, diesel, etc. are also insufficient.

    As a result, their number of tanks is destined to be unable to keep up.

    Because the manufacture of tanks and armored vehicles requires a large amount of steel.

    And more armor plate thickness means more steel consumption.

    For the Japanese army, these are all issues that need to be considered.

    Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the Japanese army equipped these tanks.

    ¡°Currently, they are swallowing a bitter pill.

    Those tanks could not cover their infantry, and even in the face of the Eighth Route Army's firepower, their tanks did not have any role in covering the infantry.

    Of course, the weapons and equipment of the current Eighth Route Army are no longer comparable to the Eighth Route Army in the traditional sense.

    At least in the past, the Eighth Route Army did not have a large number of equipment such as anti-tank guns and anti-tank rocket launchers, or even flamethrowers and other weapons and equipment used for attacking fortresses, as well as a large amount of artillery fire support.

    But now, with the support of the Fourth Army, the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is armed to the teeth.

    In terms of weapons and equipment, even many units of the Japanese army cannot compare with them.

    Not to mention anything else, there are so many anti-tank rocket launchers and anti-tank guns that their troops cannot compare with.

    All three tanks were destroyed, which made the Japanese tank soldiers behind feel a chill in their hearts.

    ¡°If they were driving tanks to charge on the battlefield now, I¡¯m afraid they would be the ones being destroyed together with the tanks at this time.

    The anti-tank firepower on the opposite side was much stronger than they expected.

    Originally, the captain of the Japanese army also thought that even if the enemy on the opposite side was very powerful, facing their armor strength, they would only be able to capture them without help.

    But now, after just one round of fighting, they had already lost three tanks. As for their infantry, whether they were advancing from the side or from the front, they were suppressed under the hillside by the enemy's intensive firepower and were unable to move.  .

    It was also at this time that their infantry troops, once again under the cover of Japanese machine gun fire, launched a charge against the Eighth Route Army positions.

    This time, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were killed a lot by the Japanese machine gun fire.

    But they quickly entered the trench and tried to stick their bodies to the ground as tightly as possible to avoid the machine gun fire coverage of the Japanese army on the opposite side to the greatest extent.

    in theirOn the other side, the Japanese infantry troops took advantage of this gap and began to rush towards the high ground where the Eighth Route Army was located.

    At this time, the deputy battalion commander looked at the Japanese troops below and the Japanese machine gun fire points in the distance, and said directly: "Call our own artillery firepower to directly kill the Japanese machine gun positions and mortar positions opposite.  "

    He said coldly, and the soldiers on the side immediately began to mark the Japanese machine gun fire positions in detail.

    In the other direction, a large number of Japanese soldiers were launching another charge towards the Eighth Route Army's position from the side.

    They had just been suppressed by machine gun fire and were unable to move, but now with the help of smoke bombs, they were able to continue to move forward.

    But what these Japanese troops don¡¯t know is that the field artillery and mountain artillery of the Eighth Route Army are now adjusting the shooting angle and aiming the shells at them.

    ¡°Cannonball loading@!!!!¡±

    The Eighth Route Army's artillery battalion, amid the commander's roar, moved in unison and stuffed the artillery shells into the artillery amidst a crisp metal collision.

    "Launch!!!"

    Amid the commander's roar, shells were launched directly in the blink of an eye and landed on the Japanese position.

    The machine gun position where the Japanese army was still roaring was shrouded in violent explosions after a burst of artillery shells.

    ¡°Boom boom boom boom!!!!¡±

    Amid the loud noises, a large number of Japanese soldiers began to turn into dead souls under the shells at this time.

    The machine gun firepower of the Japanese army, which was still roaring, was mostly muted at this time.

    A considerable part of them were directly destroyed by the covering artillery shells, and the remaining Japanese machine guns began to be picked up by their soldiers and moved to a safe area.

    The Japanese troops charging forward lost the cover of machine gun fire from the rear, and their advance suddenly slowed down.

    Because right in front of them, the Eighth Route Army's machine gun fire began to roar, suppressing them on the hillside again.

    In front of the Eighth Route Army position, more than ten Japanese corpses were suddenly added.

    There were also many Japanese soldiers who were knocked to the ground by machine gun fire and kept wailing, but there was no way to be rescued by the Japanese soldiers next to them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
