Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

The range of the 122mm howitzer is over 10 kilometers, and the range of the 76mm field gun is not low either.

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the Japanese troops were thrown into chaos.

The Watanabe Regiment was the first to bear the brunt of the heavy artillery fire.

Not only were there heavy casualties, but the newly deployed camp was blown to pieces, with no order at all.

The commandos took the lead and charged when the first round of artillery fire ended.

Zhang Renjie jumped out of the trench with his head held high, but was hit by the Japanese machine gun because of his inaccurate posture and lack of combat awareness.

Half of his body was blown in half, and the battlefield lost 7 minutes of time.

No one cared about individual casualties. A battle of this scale was a head-on collision between the Japanese divisions.

The commandos should take the opportunity to break into the core and create opportunities for the main force in the rear to attack.

As soon as the charge sounded, all the Eighth Route Army soldiers launched the charge.

All the members of the Third Detachment rushed over from all directions and set up a cemetery for the Japanese in the Pangjiabao area.

The two infantry regiments, the cavalry regiment, and the artillery regiment behind Watanabe's regiment were all within the attack range.

The artillery continued to press forward, adjusting its angle and bombarding the Japanese positions farther away.

The moment the two sides exchanged fire, the flames spread over thousands of meters.

As soon as the first wave of offensive came in, the Japanese were forced to fight back and hastily entered combat status.

The second wave of offensive appeared, and the armored regiment poured in from the gap in Pangjiabao and then quickly charged.

Their combat goal was to break through the Japanese command post from the very center.

Amid the sound of gunfire, the tanks rumbled forward.

The sudden appearance of their own tanks made the Japanese happy at first, and then they saw the tanks firing at them.

what's the situation?

Where did the Eighth Route Army get dozens of tanks to support them?

Colonel Watanabe was increasingly surprised, but the time left for him to take command was very tight.

The regiment encountered a head-on charge from Zhang Dabiao's detachment, which included several main companies and launched a fierce attack.

Under the cover of artillery fire, they broke into the regiment.

The two sides engaged in close combat, with blood drawn on bayonets, and the old Japanese soldier who thought he was quite skilled was defeated.

The second wave of attack arrived in front of them, and the tanks continued to charge into the crowd. Although they were the ones charging later, they were the first to engage in combat with the Japanese.

Heavy machine guns fired and tank guns bombarded.

The dense artillery fire made the Japanese soldiers so confused that they were almost disoriented. These arrogant beasts in human skin were blown up one after another under the machine gun fire.

The powerful and penetrating machine gun swept across the area, and no one could be safe from it.

Today's TV dramas have all weakened the effect of machine guns, and its bullets only make a puffing sound when they hit the ground.

If hit on the body, it is common to lose arms and legs. If hit, it is either death or injury.

There were no defensive areas on the flat ground, so the Japanese had to quickly retreat to the surrounding villages and towns and use the villages to build a temporary defense line.

During the transition, they were slaughtered wantonly.

The Watanabe Regiment paid a price in blood, and half of the remaining troops retreated to a safe area.

The ground was littered with broken limbs and arms, and the Japanese soldiers who were wailing were shot dead by the Eighth Route Army soldiers who rushed over. The bayonets were stabbed at the Japanese soldiers, giving them a quick death.

"Colonel, this group of Chinese soldiers can actually drive tanks. They must have the support of the Soviets behind them."

Watanabe's eyes were bloodshot. What about tanks? Can they stop the will of the imperial soldiers?

With a wave of his hand, the Death Squad reappeared.

A group of people, shirtless and with explosives tied to their bodies, were ready to attack the enemy's tanks.

Charge forward with all your might and never retreat.

Zhang Dabiao is in charge of the front-line command. What Ding Wei likes about him is that he is reckless but meticulous. Dabiao is smart and can fight smart battles.

The Watanabe regiment retreated to the village and built temporary fortifications around the village. The troops surrounded it but did not risk entering.

Instead, he reported the coordinates and called for fire support from the heavy artillery battalion.

The Type 96 howitzer was also on duty here, loading dozens of kilograms of shells, determining the position, and adjusting the angle.

Everything was ready. After one calibration shot, the second shell successfully hit the Japanese front-line position.

If you fight well, just attack this place fiercely.

The large-caliber howitzer opened fire at full power and fired eight shells. The whistling sound of the shells was like the death-taking howl that took the lives of the Japanese.

The shock wave was so powerful that the adobe wall was shattered instantly, and the Japanese soldiers near the wall were destroyed and buried together.

How deep could the makeshift trench be? One meter? Two meters?

In front of the howitzer, the crater was only three to five meters wide, at the center of the explosion, and you could not survive even if you hid in the cat ear hole.

The Japanese army was blocked in a small village, unable to retreat or advance.

The Japanese soldiers with explosives tied to their bodies attempted to charge, but as soon as they ran out of the trench, they were shot by heavy machine guns.

The two sides always maintain a distance, which cannot be overcome by legs alone.

The area around the village was flat, and the machine gun had a very comfortable firing range. If the Japanese dared to show their heads, they would be shot dead immediately.

As the second round of shells fell, the smoke and dust from the explosion filled the air, making it impossible to see the center of the explosion clearly.

The Japs launched a final frenzied attack in the smoke and dust, and they were greeted by rotary machine guns and Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns.

The sound of machine guns continued. The Japanese soldiers who rushed out were hit by bullets and fell down in front of the trenches.

Soon after, a second group appeared. They were the frenzied Kwantung Army, with rigid tactics. They charged under heavy machine gun fire and died miserably.

The Japanese hiding behind the wall were also covered by fire. Under the machine gun fire, the adobe walls could not withstand it and collapsed one after another.

Accompanied by infantry artillery, anti-tank guns, and mortars, fragments of small artillery shells flew, destroying the Kwantung Army's chances of survival.

An entire infantry regiment was reduced to one-third of its strength under siege and bombing. Not counting the wounded, there were only more than 800 people left around Watanabe.

The cavalry and infantry regiments in the rear were also attacked.

Exactly the same offensive, tanks and infantry pressed forward, interspersed, surrounded and divided.

Then the firepower pressed in and defeated them one by one.

It’s just that Colonel Watanabe charged the most fiercely and his regiment was at the front, so he should be eliminated first.

The tank launched a covering charge, crushed the enemy's heavy machine gun fire, and then moved forward on its tracks, pressing into the village.

The area was dotted with bomb craters, and many Japanese soldiers hid in the craters, being shot at by the soldiers who rushed up with submachine guns.

Watanabe went crazy. Looking at the approaching tank, he actually drew out his command knife and rushed towards the tank with a ferocious face.

Did he try to use the spirit of Bushido to destroy the chariot with one strike of the sword?

The Type 97 medium tank took the lead and rammed towards the Japanese colonel. Since he wanted to have a collision, then just have a collision.

As the tracks rolled over, I could hear the sound of bones breaking.

The colonel wailed, and the armored vehicle inside the tank started a joke.

"It seems like you've crushed someone? Step back and see."

The tracks rolled over the colonel's waist, then retreated and rolled over him again, repeating twice. Its beak was harder than a duck's.

But the bones in the body are as fragile as tofu?

The tank crushed Watanabe, and even his skull was embedded in the ground. The command knife was picked up by the soldiers, which was the physical evidence of killing the Japanese colonel.

The regiment flag is half destroyed. I wonder if the Japanese will still recognize it?

All the Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed forward and fired at the remaining Japanese soldiers, killing all the soldiers in the regiment.

What prisoners do you want? The Kwantung Army refuses to surrender!
