Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

On the other side, the two observation balloons in the air were shot down in an instant.

The Japanese commander rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Baga, when did the Chinese get sniper rifles? Release two more balloons and raise them to 300 meters in the air..."

Why were the Japanese invaders obsessed with observing balloons?

Because their artillery fire needed the guidance of these balloons, including the naval guns on the river, they all needed to observe the balloons to provide specific directions.

Without artillery to plow the ground in advance, blindly launching a charge will only increase casualties.

Therefore, the Japanese invaders' tactics were to cover the enemy with artillery fire. After effectively killing the enemy, they would send out tanks and infantry to crush the enemy positions step by step.

This can minimize our own losses, and more importantly, we can use the observation balloons to analyze the defense of the position.

Now, the balloons have been shot down. Although we can still provide artillery fire coverage, the effect will be much worse due to the lack of accuracy.

The two balloons that were launched again were quickly shot down even after rising to an altitude of 300 meters.

However, it would be impossible to accurately locate the balloon if it rose higher, so the Japanese commander had to give up observing the balloon and directly ordered the tanks and infantry to press forward.

The heavy artillery position in the rear opened fire directly according to the previously calibrated direction.

Boom boom boom!

Under heavy artillery, all beings are equal.

Everyone hid in the tunnel to avoid the artillery fire.

But even so, under the coverage of firepower, many people on the position were still directly killed.

This is without observation balloons, so the artillery coverage is not accurate.

Otherwise, in one round of shelling, at least half of the 804th Regiment would have suffered casualties.

After several rounds of bombardment, the earth-shaking artillery fire finally stopped, and the Japanese infantry and tanks followed.

As the absolute main force on the land battlefield, tanks are the most difficult weapon for our army to deal with.

Without heavy firepower support, the only way to destroy a tank is to rely on human bombs.

But now there are Javelin anti-tank missiles!

Six guards emerged from the tunnel, carefully pushed away the Sichuan Army soldiers who were protecting them, shook off the dust above their heads, and set up anti-tank missiles...

With tears in their eyes, they were deeply shocked by the Sichuan Army's unhesitating move to protect them.

This is to protect them with their lives, just because they can use anti-tank missiles.

Although they had just had a brief communication, it was difficult for both sides to communicate in the same language.

But this did not prevent the guards from explaining the role of anti-tank missiles through words and gestures.

After understanding the role of anti-tank guns, the Sichuan Army soldiers all decided to protect their comrades with their lives.

They really wanted to defeat the Japanese invaders and drive the enemy out of the country.

Even if I die in battle, I will never look back.

"Fuck you, I'm going to fuck you to death!"

The six guards each aimed at the Japanese tank in front of them and pulled the trigger.

shhhhh~~~

Six anti-tank missiles, with full of anger, rammed into the enemy tank.

Boom boom boom! !

At this time, Cheng Yaojin's machine gun finally opened fire.

He was also protected at all costs by the Sichuan Army soldiers. Although one of his legs was still broken by the Japanese heavy artillery, this did not prevent him from standing on one leg and killing the enemy!

Da da da! !

"Kill~~~"

The Sichuan Army soldiers were shocked by the firepower instantly displayed by the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Some soldiers who had already obtained American firearms followed suit and clumsily shot and killed the enemy.

Gradually, as they continued to pull the trigger, they soon became proficient in the use of the new equipment.

In the rear positions, the rest of the Sichuan Army soldiers quickly familiarized themselves with the new equipment and immediately joined the blocking battle.

The sudden addition of machine guns, automatic rifles, and countless howitzers immediately stunned the attacking Japanese invaders.

The key point is that the tank's shell was instantly flipped over, which shocked them greatly.

Without the cover of tanks, some Japanese invaders were directly exposed to firepower and suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, another six anti-tank missiles flew over and destroyed six tanks on the spot again.

Upon seeing this, the Japanese commander immediately ordered a retreat.

The casualties were too heavy. Just in that charge just now, not counting the six tanks, they lost no less than three hundred people.

“Retreat~~Retreat!!”

But even though he had given the order to retreat, he still had to endure the enemy's firepower pursuit.

Although the tanks ran fast, six more tanks were destroyed by the precise attack of the third wave of anti-tank missiles.

At the 804 position, the regiment commander Xiang Wenbing opened his mouth wide and looked at the six guards who continued to load ammunition in the trench ahead.

"this...."

"Captain, do you want to give chase?" Li Chengqian asked.

Xiang Wenbing finally came to his senses and said, "Don't chase after a desperate enemy. Let the soldiers get familiar with their equipment first."

This time the Japanese attack ended in a whimper.

But the Tang Dynasty soldiers were not very happy.

They looked at the Sichuan Army soldiers who died protecting them, and silently collected the broken limbs of their comrades. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely depressing.

Zhang Kang and others are used to sacrifice.

It's not that they are hard-hearted, but the war situation does not allow them time to be sad.

Because every time the Japanese invaders failed in their charge, the position would always face another round of heavy artillery bombardment.

"Quick, retreat to the position, the enemy's artillery fire is coming soon, quickly hide in the fortifications with us."

The Sichuan Army soldiers pulled the Tang Dynasty soldiers, but the six guards did not want to abandon the bodies of their comrades.

Finally, Li Jing came over and gave the order: "Follow orders, and keep yourself useful so that you can avenge your comrades. Retreat!"

The six guards reluctantly left their comrades' bodies behind and followed the Sichuan Army soldiers to hide in the fortifications built in the rear.

It is said to be a hiding place, but in fact it is just a small hill with its back to the enemy position.

A large soldier hiding cave was dug inside the hill, two meters deep into the ground, which can effectively avoid frontal artillery fire.

However, under the heavy firepower of the Japanese warships, this fortification may not be safe.

If one is not sure, he might be buried alive.

But this is all we can do now. The Shanghai area is flat, and having a small hill is already very good.

The group hid in the fortifications, preparing for the arrival of local artillery fire.

But there was still a platoon of troops in the trenches on the front line.

They served as a guard force, guarding against sudden attacks that the Japanese invaders might launch at any time.

Everyone was silent, just quietly getting familiar with the new equipment brought by Li Chengqian.

The four Sichuan Army soldiers who were assigned to the anti-tank missile launcher studied very hard.

They knew that with this weapon, they would no longer have to risk their lives to blow up Japanese tanks.

To them, these anti-tank missiles are like human lives and are magical weapons that can protect them.

The others also silently familiarized themselves with the guns in their hands, raising their guns and aiming from time to time.

As their understanding of the equipment deepened, some joy finally appeared on their faces.

Cheng Yaojin looked at his right calf which was blown to pieces and broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain.
