The soldiers of the Jing'an Army looked at the oncoming Japanese armored forces. There were not many smiles on their faces.
Of course, some people cheered along with the Japanese officers and Japanese sergeants, but most of the soldiers of the Jing'an Army had no sense of glory.
As an army of the Manchukuo Kingdom, it is one thing for our own brothers to fight behind closed doors, but it is another thing for foreigners to come and fight.
From the perspective of traditional culture, even these ordinary soldiers with low education still know the most basic cultural cognition.
Putting down the mirrors used to dig trenches, the soldiers looked at the approaching group of vehicles.
Motorcycles with machine guns, tanks, cars, armored vehicles full of people...and are they short of fuel? Otherwise, why would they dump gasoline barrels underground?
Those gasoline barrels look a bit strange, they are stuffing something into them...
The convoy was fifty meters away from the position being built by the Third Brigade and the First Regiment of the Jingan Army. The Japanese officers and key non-commissioned officers suddenly stopped cheering because something they did not recognize appeared behind the cars.
Are those people? Why are they so tall? And... why are their legs bent?
"Peng Peng Peng..."
The sound was as loud as the sound of a large-caliber cannon being fired. This sound attracted many Yasukuni soldiers to look towards the Japanese heavy artillery unit.
Their sound was the sound of heavy artillery troops firing, but the sound seemed to be coming from the wrong direction.
Dozens of five-kilogram explosive packets were coming towards the unrepaired position of the Jing'an Army from a hundred meters away.
At the same time, a group of elite infantrymen carrying broadswords on their backs and box cannons jumped out of those cars. They were the men of Shaanxi Battalion Commander Xue. As they dispersed into an offensive formation, they began to throw grenades.
The armored vehicles and tanks in front who were adjusting their formation immediately changed into the sharp-angled formation during a tank assault.
Of course, not only the Jingan Army did not recognize this formation, but even the Japanese did not recognize it, because the combat method of armored groups was not something they could understand.
Five kilograms of explosive packets fell on the Jing'an Army's front line, causing all the infantrymen to be frightened by the "sound" of an artillery explosion of more than 200 meters in diameter.
Then came the attack of more than a hundred grenades with shrapnel, and a series of explosions followed by intensive gunfire.
The machine guns of motorcycles, armored vehicles, and the machine guns mounted on the tanks and trucks suddenly sang a song of death together. Not only that, there were two two-man machine gun teams on each tank. At this moment, the Czech style "quack"
, dry and dry like a chorus of ducks.
The number of light and heavy machine guns firing at the same time exceeded forty in an instant. If you add the hp90 in the hands of Lu Feizhang and his men, the large magazine of fifty rounds gave the impression that it was a chorus of more than one hundred and dozens of machine guns.
In addition, a loud female voice came from the tweeter mounted on the tank.
"Chinese people do not fight Chinese people. Those who are determined to be traitors will be shot on the spot. Those who expose them will be rewarded, while those who conceal the same crime..."
The Jing'an Army's front collapsed almost instantly. They jumped out of the unrepaired trenches that were about to be crushed by tanks and armored troops, and ran into the distance in the unobstructed wilderness.
However, what chased them was almost countless bullets, as well as many people shouting "Hand over the gun and don't kill", and the loud voice that echoed in the wilderness,
"Chinese people don't fight Chinese people..."
This kind of attack is not something that troops like them are qualified to withstand. In terms of withstanding the attack of armored spearheads, apart from the people's army, the only ones who are "motivated" by the "270" and "227" orders are Maozi officers and soldiers.
And this feeling, the Japanese will not know until they fight Maozi in the future, that they are almost vulnerable to armored infantry groups. Here Zhang Sixing just let them practice on a small scale first.
After running a few steps, the soldiers of the Jing'an Army were educated by the firestorm created by hundreds and dozens of "machine guns" and chose the path they should take.
Those who kneel down and "hand over the gun without killing" and stand up to run away have no chance of surrendering.
Tanks and armored vehicles formed the first front line, with motorcycles with machine guns in between, and trucks behind them. The soldiers were running faster than the tanks on their ostrich boots.
In an instant, the war mode became unrecognizable to the Japanese.
A few minutes ago, those tanks and armored vehicles were still far away, but a few minutes later, the machine gun nests were overturned by tank guns. The soldiers in the trenches faced the airtight "rain of bullets" on those vehicles.
As for the Japanese, no one planned to capture them. Moreover, their resistance had minimal impact, because the heavy artillery troops were almost not even equipped with rifles. Their safety basically relied on the protection of the Jing'an Army.
"It's not a 150mm cannon, it's just a 105mm cannon. Really... forget it, we can't get these cannons, let's just blow them up."
Although Zhang Sixing had a car, if he was towing a cannon, this so-called armored force would probably not be able to run at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour.
Originally, he expected to use these cannons to say "hello" to the Japanese coming and going, but obviously this was an unrealistic idea.
In this era, when soldiers generally have low levels of education, artillery is a proper technical branch.
If this were the paratroopers that Zhang Sixing led during the Spanish Civil War, they could have used these cannons to teach the Japanese troops before and after them a lesson.
It's a pity...it's a pity...
The approaching armored troops destroyed the heavy artillery troops. This is not worth describing in detail. You must know that the Japanese artillery is rarely equipped with rifles, and most of the time they are equipped with pistols or grenades.
But when Zhang Sixing's operation to penetrate behind enemy lines was a complete success, the battlefield by the river was already in full swing.
Especially before Zhang Sixing comes back, there is only one way to fight here - defend to the death.
Even the captured infantry artillery had several prepared gun positions per gun according to Zhang Sixing's order. Moreover, the practice of changing gun positions after firing a few shots quickly fell silent in the face of the suppression of the Japanese 101st Division.
At this point the battle became bloody.
At the forefront at this time was the pistol team led by Hu Yang. The reorganized Japanese army launched an attack again.
Apparently they had learned the lesson from the previous attack, and were advancing steadily step by step, and were not in a hurry to drive the opponent out of the battle line with hand-to-hand combat.
In addition, the newly arrived D1A-Type 94 attack aircraft were conducting rounds of bombings on the riverside battlefield.
In this case, the advantage of a single-soldier battle line is reflected. Even if it is hit, one shell or bomb can only kill one soldier.
But when faced with bombings and shelling, no one thought about it. Just like Populus euphratica huddled at the bottom of a pit, there was only one thing on his mind.
"Stop, stop quickly. If the explosion continues like this, I'm afraid there won't be many people left on the front line."
