    The anti-tank trenches were about 150 meters away from the defenders' front-line positions. Because the Japanese artillery fire was too fierce, the defenders counterattacked for a few minutes at the beginning, but in the end because the casualties were too heavy, they temporarily stopped the counterattack.  , watching helplessly as the Japanese destroyed the anti-tank trenches.

    After finally passing through the anti-tank trenches, a large number of Japanese troops, under the cover of tanks, launched a charge towards the defenders' front-line positions!

    But what surprised the Japanese troops on the front line was that until the tanks entered less than a meter away from the China position, the defenders' position remained quiet, and no one launched a counterattack, not even those strong bunkers opened fire.

    The entire battlefield suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and even the air seemed to solidify!

    The more this happened, the more uneasy the Japanese army felt. Everyone was used to hearing the sound of gunfire, so the sudden silence was really a bit strange.

    More importantly, the Japanese soldiers did not know what conspiracy the Chinese army on the opposite side was brewing. Based on their understanding of the defenders, the Japanese soldiers were definitely not the kind of troops willing to give up their positions.

    100 metres

    80 meters

    50 meters

    When the chariot garrison position was less than 50 meters away, there was a sudden loud noise, and the chariot at the front was instantly blown upside down. Not only did the entire chariot fly straight up more than ten meters high,  , and then fell from mid-air, with tracks, turrets and other parts flying around, frightening the Japanese soldiers next to them to dodge in fear of being hit.

    Then another tank next to it was not spared. With a violent explosion, the tracks of this tank were also blown into several pieces, hanging down on the body. At the same time, thick black smoke emerged from the tank.  Smoking, one look at it and you can tell it is completely useless.

    This was just the beginning. None of the tanks in the front were spared, and they were all blown up in less than two minutes.

    Yoshizumi Ryosuke and others who were watching the battle from behind were stunned. It took a long time before the commander of the 13th Division, Tanaka Shizuichi, reacted and roared angrily: "Baga, Li Guoyao is so cunning. They actually deployed anti-tank mines on the front line!"

    Other Japanese commanders just woke up from a dream. No wonder the power was so huge. A tank of more than ten tons was blown away more than ten meters. Only anti-tank mines have such power.

    It's just that anti-tank landmines are not common on the battlefield, especially on the Chinese battlefield. Even in the fierce offensive and defensive battles in Shanghai, it was rare to see the Chinese army using this special landmine. The 7th Division was just under the rule of the Northeast Army.  How could a ragtag infantry division have such a terrible mine?

    And judging from the situation on the front line, the opponent seems to have a large number of such mines, which is really surprising and also extremely puzzling.

    Just as these Japanese commanders were dumbfounded, the situation on the battlefield changed again. Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire on the defenders' position, various light and heavy machine guns fired at the same time, and the Japanese troops in front of the front line fell to the ground one after another, like  It's like wheat being cut down.

    At such a close distance, the defenders could easily kill the targets even with less than excellent shooting skills, but the Japanese army did not withdraw their troops.

    After all, there is only a distance of more than fifty meters. If you charge quickly, you may rush to the defenders' trenches in less than half a minute. As long as the two sides engage in hand-to-hand combat, the battle will be almost over.

    But other than that, the Japanese army could easily wipe out the defenders just by relying on their superiority in strength. Therefore, the little Japanese on the front line knew that they might be killed if they rushed forward, but they still continued to fight and were brave.

    Even on the hostile side, the Japanese army's spirit of not fearing death still impressed all the officers of the 7th Division who were watching the battle!

    However, when the Japanese soldiers rushed forward with enthusiasm and fear of death, explosions occurred one after another in front of the defender's position, killing and injuring each Japanese soldier.

    Landmines, landmines again!

    The defenders not only deployed a large number of anti-tank mines on the front line, but also deployed a large number of ordinary anti-infantry mines. If the little devil rushes forward in such a hurry, it is no different from seeking death.

    Amidst a series of mine explosions, the Japanese troops finally calmed down and withdrew one after another!

    In the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army, I saw through the telescope that the Japanese army retreated like a tide after the failed attack. Yoshizumi Ryosuke's heart was bleeding. Just now, when the imperial army advanced on the front, there were more than 1,300 people.  As a result, when they were withdrawn, not even 800 people were enough, and more than 500 people were killed.

    Although they have a small number of 20,000 people on the front line, they cannot withstand such casualties. You have to know what he sawThis is the south gate position. The situation at the west gate and east gate must be similar to this at this time. In other words, in less than twenty minutes, they suffered at least 1,500 casualties, equivalent to one and a half corps.  , who can bear this.

    More importantly, the battle just now caused the imperial army to lose more than ten tanks. These are treasures on the battlefield. Once they are lost, there is no telling when they will be replenished.

    In anger, Yoshizumi Ryosuke ordered the troops on the front line to continue the attack, and asked the artillery to open a safe passage for the infantry on the front line.

    It just so happened that the aviation force had arrived on the battlefield at this time and was bombing the defenders' positions. They wanted to take this opportunity to completely defeat the defenders in front.

    "Boom boom boom"

    Following Yoshizumi Ryosuke¡¯s order, the Japanese artillery did not dare to neglect and immediately carried out strategic artillery bombardment on the land within a hundred meters in front of the defender¡¯s position in an attempt to destroy the minefield in front of the defender¡¯s position.

    But what the Japanese army didn¡¯t know was that just as their artillery was showing off, the Second Artillery Regiment of the 7th Division had also removed its camouflage net and was preparing to counterattack.

    In Bengbu City, the temporary position of the 2nd Artillery Regiment of the 7th Division.

    Zhu Jiansheng held the coordinates of the Japanese artillery position he had just calculated and handed it to deputy commander Zhang Weihua. He said: "These are the coordinates of the Japanese artillery position. The location should be on the south slope. Let the boys adjust it."  Bombard the various elements and prepare to fire!"

    "yes!"

    Then Zhang Weihua strode to the artillery position, and said loudly: "Everyone is here, south of the city at six o'clock, altitude 45, target the Japanese artillery position on the south slope, no need to test fire, ten rounds rapid fire!"

    "Prepare!"

    "Fire!"

    Following Zhang Weihua¡¯s order, more than 30 large-caliber artillery pieces on the city¡¯s defenders¡¯ artillery positions opened fire at the same time, and dense artillery shells flew toward the Japanese artillery positions.

    The sound of large-caliber artillery fire was very loud. Even though the defenders arranged artillery positions in the city, the Japanese command headquarters outside the city could still hear it clearly.

    When they heard such horrific news, the generals at the Japanese military headquarters were stunned!

    Those who can stay here are not ordinary officers. Everyone has rich combat experience. Even if they are not professional artillerymen, they know that such a huge movement cannot be made by one or two artillery. Obviously, the Chinese defenders in the city  There was also a lot of artillery.

    More importantly, in the face of such a crazy bombardment by the artillery of the Imperial Japanese Army, the other party was able to endure it for such a long time. This scheming is really terrifying.

    And now the other party suddenly opened fire, it was obviously planned, and the target should be the artillery position of the imperial army!

    Thinking of this, the expressions of everyone in the Japanese military headquarters changed!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
