The engine of the chariot emits roars. As a must-fight place since ancient times, Yixian has accumulated over thousands of years and its fortifications are the most complete.

Later, the relevant Eastern Army entered Yixian and strengthened or transformed the fortifications built by the former Northeast Army, making it more effective.

If you want to stop the enemy's infantry, only about one regiment of soldiers is stationed here, and even a division will be difficult to pass in a short time.

But this is only when facing pure infantry, once they encounter a large number of artillery, or armored forces.

In the premise that our side lacks heavy firepower, all this will be a nightmare existence.

They cannot stop the passage of steel torrents, although hiding in fortifications can temporarily save them.

But once the opponent's infantry follows closely, all the fortifications will lose their due role.

The huge and complete fortifications were not prepared for trench wars with the enemy, but to repel the enemy before they arrived.

Erdan followed behind a light tank, and his pace increased again and again.

This new tank is so fucking, it is not the same as the commander said. The commanders all said that it is the happiest thing to charge with their tanks.

Because tanks will help you withstand most bullets, the tank's main gun will help you solve the Japanese's heavy firepower points. You only need to cover the tank and try not to let enemy soldiers get close as much as possible.

But now Erdan didn't feel that he was covering the tank at all, Erdan could only take steps and follow closely behind the tank.

Even though the tank had slowed down properly, the speed of twenty or thirty yards was still not something he could keep up with just walking.

If it is too far away from the tank, it is his own fault. The Japanese can follow this gap and directly kill the infantry hiding behind the tank.

Bazukka seemed particularly useless at this time because with the help of tanks, they seemed to be useless here at all.

Although the firepower of the new tank is far less than that of t34/85, such firepower can still make the Japanese fight and become defeated.

Looking at the nervous Japanese on the opposite side, Erdan was so angry that he wanted to curse, is this the fucking Kantong Army? Is the most elite unit of the Japanese Army?

Did we fight against such an army before? Did they not even have a strong blockade when we charged?

From the start of the charge to the present, only one bullet flew over Erdan's body, and other than that, Erdan was never threatened by any other threats.

This is completely different from what everyone said before. Where is there any bullet rain here? There is only massacres, their unilateral massacre.

The tanks quickly began to slow down. The Kwantung Army's fortifications were trench-type, and the wide trench made it impossible for the tank to easily cross.

The cunning Kwantung Army used the double trench tactic here, which is a slightly narrower trench at the rear for the soldiers to defend. In front was a large pit about two meters deep and five meters wide in diameter.

To put it bluntly, it is to ease the pressure on the enemy when the enemy charges. With this fortification, the infantry cannot reach the fortifications in the rear smoothly, and the chariots can only park on the other side. This depth is not something they can cross at all.

The Marine Corps soldiers obviously did not expect this to be the case. They had only known that they were coming here and rarely inquire about intelligence. After all, this was the mission area of ​​the army before, and now most of the army have gone to the front. No one explained these matters to them.

Building a bridge is obviously an impossible thing. There is no time to build a bridge for them in the middle of the battlefield. Once a two-meter-high depth tank goes down, it will be difficult to get up again.

It is even the same whether it can continue safely. If you are not careful, the tank may overturn.

After seeing this situation, the Marine Corps soldiers were also stunned. If it were the river, they would not be afraid and just swam over directly, but this was a deep pit.

They even promised that as long as they dared to go down, the Japanese would definitely throw grenades in it, and the casualties would not be a slightest.

In a closed space, a grenade can often generate the power of a shell, and in this case, no one dares to be careless.

"Battery Commander, what should I do? The pit is too deep, the tank cannot go down, and the soldiers cannot come up after they go down, which is very dangerous. The only bridge was also blown up by the Japanese."

A captain ran anxiously to a major and reported the situation ahead.

At this time, the major was also very anxious. They still had many tasks. After clearing the county town, they had to go to other places. It was impossible for them to stay in this place all the time.

Moreover, they have more than ten tanks to help. If they are trapped here by just one or two thousand devils, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if they spread it?

What kind of face does the Marine Corps have in front of the Army in the future? This is the first battle of the Marine Corps, and it is a crucial battle.

The major thought about it and could not think of a suitable solution. He couldn't help but take out the telescope and look ahead. After a long time, the major frowned deeply and decided to take a gamble. He could not be trapped here and must solve the Kwantung Army in front as soon as possible.

"Let the soldiers take a shell from the tank and throw it to the end of the big pit, and then retreat all of them. The sniper detonates the bomb and explodes a gap. The main gun of the tank bombs on the opposite side of the big pit, and must explode a slope."

The major said.

This is the only way now. I don’t know when the grenade will explode a gap. The two-meter-deep pit is nothing for some heavy tanks.

In such right-angle deep pits, sometimes heavy tanks will collapse before they even reach the front, but light tanks may not be necessary. He dare not take this risk, so he can only use shells to blow up a gap first.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the shell can explode one and a half meters deep and about two meters wide, it will be fine. A right-angle groove of one and a half meters has no problem with the tank.

Through observation, the major also knew what they needed to do. The slope size didn't matter, or even to put it bluntly. As long as it could have a slope of thirty or forty centimeters, the tank could go safely.

As the saying goes, a skilled man is brave, the major has no choice at this moment. If the tank could fire directly at the ground, he would have let the tank fire a gap by himself.

It's just a pity that the negative elevation angle cannot allow their gun barrels to fire directly at the ground.

Soon, a soldier carried a shell from the tank. The weight of the shell was not heavy, and there was no problem with running alone.

Immediately under the cover of the tank, a soldier began to throw the shells out from behind the tank, and then the tank also began to reverse urgently. After reaching a certain position, the snipers who had already prepared in the rear began to fire at the shells.

‘Boom! Boom!’

Before the Kwantung Army could understand what was going on, they heard a huge explosion.

Even after the earth trembled, they were only less than ten meters away from the explosion of the shells. Even with the cover of cover, shrapnel would not cause any harm to them.

But the huge vibration still made them feel very uncomfortable, and some Kanto soldiers even spat out a mouthful of blood. They felt a huge pain in their bodies.

But this is only the experience of a few Kanto Army. This will result in such an effect at a specific angle and a specific distance. It can only be said that the luck of those Kanto Army is really not very good. If you change the angle slightly, you will not end like this.

The tank's shells are not heavy artillery shells, and their power is much smaller than that of heavy artillery. More importantly, the penetration ability is stronger, and the explosion range is far less than that of other ordinary artillery.

But even so, several holes were still blown up in front of him.

Seeing this, the tank driver no longer hesitated. He immediately adjusted the angle of the muzzle and aimed at the slope at the other end and shot hard.

The Japanese were not feeling well now. The distance was far, and the damage to them was not that great. But now? The explosion point of the shell was less than three meters away from them, and many Japanese soldiers were directly hit if they were not careful.

After the attack succeeded, the tank increased its speed again and ran directly to the gap that had just begun to bomb.

Now this deep pit is completely ignored by them and cannot prevent them at all. The only impact it can cause is that it can delay them for a few seconds.

But this time has no need to worry about the tank at all, and it has no impact on the slightest.

Erdan followed a tank, first entered the deep pit along the buttocks of the tank, and then followed the tank to a slope. At this point, Erdan could already see the trench where the Japanese were.

Looking at the Japanese hiding in the trenches, trembling and taking out their rifles to shoot at them, without any hesitation, squatted down, took a grenade from the clothes and pulled the safety out, and threw it in directly.

'boom!'

With a loud bang, nine out of ten Japanese in the trench were left. Erdan held his mp40 submachine gun tightly. About three or four seconds after the grenade exploded, he jumped directly into the trench.

Looking at the messy trench, Erdan was very satisfied with the effect and nodded secretly in his heart. However, he did not dare to neglect any of the movements in his hands.

After another soldier also jumped into the trench and formed back-to-back with Erdan, Erdan began to slowly walk forward and carefully observe every corner. Any place where there is a possibility of hiding people, Erdan must first observe carefully before moving forward.

‘Da da da…’

A Japanese suddenly flashed out and wanted to shoot at Erdan, but how could Erdan, who had been prepared for him, let him succeed? The moment the Japanese broke out, Erdan gently pulled the trigger.

Five or six bullets instantly knocked the Japanese into a sieve, and countless bullet holes appeared on their body instantly.

Although the mp40 has a poor range and is far from comparable to the Garland rifle, it cannot be denied that it is indeed an excellent submachine gun.

After sacrificing so many conditions, mp40 received little recoil and high shooting accuracy. In this kind of trench warfare, it was undoubtedly like a trench broom, no longer reaping the lives of the Japanese at any time.

The Marine Corps is a newly established unit and it takes less than three months, but Su Dao has invested a lot in this unit. He is basically equipped with infantry, and they have infantry, but they can't use the 75mm infantry cannon.

But Su Dao equipped them with enough Bazuka and flamethrowers. Bazuka played a crucial role in the early landing, while flamethrowers played a very important role in the later sweep. The two combined with each other and they were completely invincible.
