The headquarters of the 10th Regiment.

Hearing the news of the second captain's tragic defeat, Akashiba Yaezo's face suddenly turned ugly.

Akashiba Yaezo sternly cursed: "What does this captain do for a living? He actually lost a squadron of imperial soldiers on Zhongshan East Road!"

The communications soldier yelled with a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, the captain of the second battalion still wants to continue the attack, but he asked your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, to send out tank troops for cover!"

Akashiba Yaezo shouted: "What? Tank troops, where can I use tanks now! Chief of Staff, where are our tank troops?"

The chief of staff shouted in response: "Your Excellency, the regiment commander, our tank troops are still on their way in!"

Akashiba Yaezo called out: "Chief of Staff, do you think the afternoon attack will continue?"

Shaking his head, the chief of staff shouted in response: "I think to be conservative, we should wait for the tank troops to arrive on the battlefield before attacking!"

Akashiba Yaezo shouted: "I think so too! Then just wait!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an officer who looked like a squadron leader walked in from outside the field tent.

After giving a standard Japanese military salute to Akashiba Yaezo, the squadron leader shouted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the 39th Tank Squadron is here to report, please give instructions!"

With a hint of joy on his face, Akashiba Yaezo shouted: "Yo Xi! Okada-kun, you came in time, what did I just say? Why hasn't the 379th Tank Squadron arrived yet?"

The chief of staff on the side said, "Cao Cao is here as soon as I say. Your Excellency, the commander of the unit, we can attack immediately!"

Akashiba Yaezo shouted in a muffled voice: "Yoshi! Gangada-kun, I am assigning you an important task now!"

The two heels suddenly came together, and Squadron Leader Gangtian shouted: "Hai! Your Excellency, Commander, please give me your orders!"

After pondering for a moment, Akashiba Yaezo shouted: "Kangada-kun, I order your troops to coordinate with the second brigade to attack the China Army on Zhongshan East Road from now on. You must capture this China Army block for me!"

After a heavy pause, Captain Okada shouted: "Hai! Be loyal to the emperor!"

Akashiba Yaezo shouted: "Yoshi! Go down and prepare now, we will set off immediately in 15 minutes!"

After agreeing, Squadron Leader Gangtian walked out of the military tent.

…

Dongguan City Wall!

Amidst the rumbling roar of their engines, eight Iron Kings drove straight towards the little devils from the second brigade.

Putting down the telescope in his hand, a squadron leader shouted: "Your Excellency, the captain, the wing commander has sent us a tank unit!"

Also putting down the telescope in his hand, the captain of the second battalion shouted: "Hey! With the cover of the tank soldiers, we are sure to win when we attack the Chinese Army on Zhongshan East Road!"

After a pause, the captain of the second brigade called again: "Shangtang Jun! Send a signal to the tank squadron and tell them to keep moving forward and don't stop! Our second brigade will immediately accompany them to attack!"

In agreement, Captain Shangtang sent a signal to the 39th Tank Squadron to keep marching.

Seeing the semaphore, the 39th Tank Squadron crossed the Dongguan City Wall without stopping and drove directly to Zhongshan East Road.

With a wave of his hand, the captain of the second battalion raised his voice and shouted: "Imperial soldiers of the second battalion, follow me!"

Hearing this, the two squadrons of Japs followed the tank towards Zhongshan East Road.

In addition to the Japanese infantry, four Type 92 infantry cannons also pushed forward.

…

Street fighting fortifications on Zhongshan East Road.

Seeing a Japanese tank appearing in the distance, a semaphore soldier quickly conveyed a warning signal to the commander of the 242nd Regiment.

After receiving the warning signal, the commander of the 242nd Regiment raised his voice and shouted: "The little Japs are coming up again. Each battalion enters the position and pay attention to concealment. No one is allowed to shoot without my order!"

After hearing the order, the Sichuan Army soldiers of the 242nd Regiment took their positions.

When the Sichuan soldiers entered the position, the Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery fired hysterically at the houses on both sides of Zhongshan East Road!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Rumble, rumble!

The street fighting fortifications of the 242nd Regiment burst into bright red flames.

Some soldiers were so unlucky that they were cut into several pieces by cannonballs.

Seeing the state of death of his fallen comrades, a new soldier couldn't help but vomit.

The dry food he had just eaten was spit out all at once.

Braving fierce artillery fire, the commander of the 242nd Regiment approached the recruits.

The leader of the 242nd Regiment shouted at the top of his voice: "Out of sight, out of mind, don't look at those intestines, you know?"

The recruit shouted: "Tuanzuo! What did you say?"

The leader of the 242nd Regiment shouted again: "Don't look at the organs on the ground, pay attention to avoid artillery fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a high-explosive bomb roared and hit next to the leader of the 242nd Regiment.

Rumble!

Shaking the dust off his cap, the recruit shouted: "Got it!"

At this time, Platoon Leader Chu shouted loudly: "Regiment leader, the Japs tanks are coming up. When can our death squads come up!"

After thinking for a moment, the leader of the 242nd Regiment shouted: "Now is not the time. Wait until the Japanese tanks have completely entered the infantry gun firing area and the machine guns have divided the Japanese infantry before taking action. The Japanese are firing artillery now. Please stay in the basement."

!”

After agreeing, Platoon Leader Chu returned to the basement.

Soon, Japanese tanks and infantry began to enter the firing area of ​​the Type 92 infantry gun.

In order to avoid accidentally injuring one's own people, the Type 92 infantry artillery stopped firing.

The Japanese tanks formed a single line column and advanced towards the street fighting fortifications.

At the same time, a large number of Japs followed behind the tank.

Staring at the little Japs on the street, the Second Battalion Commander lowered his voice and shouted: "Tuanzu! Fight, the Japs are almost under our noses!"

Shaking his head slightly, the leader of the 242nd regiment shouted: "No, wait, wait!"

Time passes by second by second.

Suddenly, the artillery of a Japanese tank aimed at the location of the commander of the 242nd Regiment and the commander of the second battalion.

Without any hesitation, the commander of the 242nd Regiment immediately pulled the second battalion commander towards a door.

The next second, a ball of fire exploded behind him.

After shaking off the dust on his helmet, the second battalion commander yelled: "Damn it, why are the little devil's eyes so sharp? He's discovered us!"

Hearing sporadic tank gunfire, the commander of the 242nd Regiment shouted: "No, the little devil's tanks are firing reconnaissance fire. They are trying to force us to take action. Don't panic. Wait a little longer. Let's go to another place."

position!"

The Japanese tank cannons did not detect any machine gun fire. The Japanese tanks only fired sideways, almost paralyzing the command center of the 242nd Regiment.

Fortunately, the commander of the 242nd Regiment was clever and managed to avoid the reconnaissance fire of Japanese tank guns.

While the two were moving, the Japanese tanks and infantry completely entered the 242nd Regiment's preset street fighting area.

Seizing the Type 38 rifle and searching around, the Japanese infantry became increasingly vigilant.

Because until now, the little Japs from the second brigade have not found a single Chinese soldier.

The captain of the Second Battalion ordered the infantry and tanks to stop.

The originally noisy Zhongshan East Road suddenly became quiet.

Pointing a crooked machine gun at the Japs behind the tank, the commander of the 242nd Regiment shouted in a low voice: "The second battalion commander ordered us to go down and prepare to hit hard and divide the Japs infantry behind the tanks!"

After agreeing, the second battalion commander conveyed the order to each company.

After a while, the twelve light machine guns arranged on the second floor immediately opened fire.

Da da da!

Rub rub rub rub!

A dense rain of bullets poured from all directions towards the Japanese infantry on the street of Zhongshan East Road.

Facing crossfire, the Japanese infantry exposed to a wide field of vision had no way to hide.

Amidst the violent sound of machine gunfire, the little Japanese were swept down like wheat on the North China Plain.
