    Following Higuchi Kiichiro¡¯s order, the Japanese troops on the front line gathered again!

    Compared with the first attack, this time the Japanese army has increased both in strength and firepower. Especially in terms of strength, its offensive troops in two directions have increased to two infantry brigades. Obviously, the little Japanese are going to fight desperately.  .

    After more than half an hour of preparation, at ten o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army's second attack began.

    After a not very intense shelling, under the cover of more than a dozen Type 95 light tanks, a large number of Japanese soldiers came towards the Shuangjian garrison position.

    "Boom boom boom"

    The defenders began to counterattack, and the artillery aimed their muzzles at the charging Japanese soldiers, and then continued to bombard them.

    The shells fell from the sky and exploded in the Japanese charging troops, causing numerous casualties to the Japanese soldiers.

    "However, the little devil didn't care at all, and still rushed forward desperately.

    The distance between the two sides keeps getting closer, five hundred meters four hundred meters three hundred meters

    At such a close distance, all kinds of firepower on the defenders' positions also opened fire. Light machine guns, heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns all roared and fired a series of bullets at the little devil.

    Although the Little Japs were covered by chariot troops with reinforced frontal armor, they still suffered heavy losses. The battlefield was littered with wounded soldiers and corpses of the Little Japs.

    But at this moment, Li Guoyao, who was watching the battle from behind, suddenly saw a large number of grenade launchers suddenly appearing behind the Japanese infantry. After a detailed count, there were no less than fifty grenade launchers.

    Li Guoyao's heart suddenly sank. The combat effectiveness of these grenade launchers of the Japs was extraordinary. So many grenade launchers gathered in such a crazy time were obviously directed at the firepower points on the front line.

    As expected, before Li Guoyao had time to notify the frontline troops to pay attention, you saw that the little devil's grenade launcher had already opened fire.

    I saw grenades flying into the sky one after another, and then accurately landing on the defenders' position.

    As before, the first target of the Japs¡¯ grenade launchers was not the ordinary soldiers, but the light and heavy machine gunners.

    "Boom boom boom"

    Explosions were heard one after another on the defender's position. Light and heavy machine guns were blown away. Each machine gunner and ammunition hand was killed and wounded. For a time, the firepower on the defender's position was sharply reduced.

    Li Guoyao himself was surprised by the achievements of the little Japanese grenadier!

    As we all know, the Japanese army is one of the few countries in the world that has used grenades, a cheap weapon, to its full potential. During World War II, the Japanese army was heavily equipped with this cheap but effective weapon.

    In view of the cost of this weapon and its powerful power, the Japanese seem to have found a war artifact and equipped their troops on a large scale. Basically every Japanese infantry squad is equipped with a grenade team.

    In other words, there is basically one grenade group for every sixty people, and each grenade usually consists of a grenade launcher and an ammunition hand. For some elite Japanese troops, each group will have more than one grenade group.  Add an ammunition hand to ensure adequate supply of ammunition and prevent possible attrition during battle.  As a result, the proportion of grenadiers is almost one-thirtieth of the total strength of the Japanese army, which is already very terrifying.

    The Japanese grenadiers were not only numerous in number, but the power they exerted was also terrifying. Throughout World War II, grenadiers were used as the mainstay of firepower for the Japanese front-line squad. During the offensive battle, the Japanese grenade squad followed  Front-line infantry operations mainly attack the machine gun firepower points of the Chinese army.

    Most of the grenade launchers in the Japanese army are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. In actual combat, the hit rate within 400 meters is as high as 85% to 95%, and the power and damage caused are astonishing.

    Although Li Guoyao had heard about this before, he didn't care about it. However, when so many grenades were used intensively, the power exploded beyond imagination.

    Seeing that more than half of the firepower points on the defender's position had suffered fatal blows, the little devils immediately rushed towards the defender's position as if they had been given a shot of blood, preparing to rush into the town in one go.

    For the current little devils, as long as they can rush into the town and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders, with their superb stabbing skills, they have a great chance of defeating the defenders, and even completely annihilating Li Guoyao's troops.

    At worst, there would not be heavy casualties like this, so all the Japanese soldiers were extremely brave. They did not want to waste their lives in such a rough battle.

    Li Guoyao was also a veteran with rich combat experience. In view of this, he ordered the frontline troops to counterattack immediately, especiallyIt is an anti-aircraft machine gun, adjusted to hit the side of the Little Japanese tank.

    He had already seen it just now. The little Japanese was obviously frightened. He specifically attached two layers of steel plates to the front of the battlefield, increasing the armor thickness of the tank's front face to nearly 40 mm.

    Although the power of the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun is not small, it is difficult to penetrate 40 mm thick armor. Therefore, no tanks have been destroyed since the second Japanese attack.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter. Li Guoyao could see clearly just now that although the little devil had reinforced the front armor, he had not taken care of the side and rear armor. As long as the angle was slightly adjusted, he could still deal with it.

    You must know that the Little Devil's Type 95 light tank itself is a small tank with a thin skin and a large body. The front armor is 12 mm and the side armor is only 6 mm. It also has a serious lack of power. This is why the Little Devil does not dare to use the Nine-Five Type Light Tank.  The reason is that the entire body of the Type 5 is reinforced. Otherwise, the Type 95¡¯s backward engine would not be able to carry such a heavy body.

    "Subsequently, Li Guoyao ordered someone to send a batch of light and heavy machine guns to the front. Anyway, he has a lot of points now. The Type 92 heavy machine gun only has 30 points. He can still afford 180 of them.

    With the counterattack of the defenders, the Japanese tanks at the front were destroyed one after another, and some of the destroyed tanks exploded, directly causing heavy losses to the surrounding Japanese troops.

    Others were simply paralyzed by the attack, so they could only stay in place and be used as fixed turrets!

    At the same time, a large number of infantrymen also suffered fatal blows, falling in front of their positions one by one!

    In a small open space in front of the defender's position, the corpses of the little Japanese were spread out on a thick layer. From a distance, it looked like Shura Hell, which was very terrifying.

    The little devils were not to be outdone, and the grenade launchers continued to fire grenades at the defenders' positions.

    The ammunition equipped with the Type 89 grenade under normal conditions is the Type 91 grenade. This ammunition uses a cylindrical cast iron projectile with vertical and horizontal grooves on the outside. The projectile is divided into 50 pieces. The blasting part is equipped with 6.5 grams of TNT explosive.  Once the projectile explodes, dozens of shrapnel will scatter in all directions, and all targets within a radius of seven to eight meters will not be spared.

    The power erupted by dozens of grenade launchers was terrifying. In less than fifteen minutes after the battle began, the Japs rushed to a distance of less than a hundred meters in front of the front line.

    At this time, there are still more than a thousand Japs soldiers on the front line, and there are still 8 Type 95 light tanks. If this continues, the Japs will be able to break into the defenders' positions in a few minutes at most.

    However, at this moment, a dull "bang bang" sound suddenly sounded from the defenders' position, and then huge shells were seen hitting the grenadier behind the Japanese army.

    It turned out that the artillery unit of the defenders was showing off its power. Just now, the grenade launchers of these little devils were hiding behind the main force, so they couldn't see clearly.  In addition, Li Guoyao's artillery was suppressing the Japanese artillery, so he had no time to take care of them.

    Now I finally had my hand free, and as soon as I took action, I caught the little devil off guard, and he was knocked upside down by the explosion!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
