boom!

A 37mm artillery shell was fired, and a heavy machine gun fire point on the forward position was blown away by the artillery shell.

The Japs near the Type 95 tank all hid behind the tank, pulling the gun bolt and occasionally sticking their heads out to fire.

The 7.7mm heavy machine gun on the tank spurted out flames, instantly suppressing the firepower on the forward position.

Machine gun bullets and rifle bullets crackled against the tank, unable to penetrate the tank's defenses.

However, the Japs soldiers far away from the tanks were in a worse situation. They had no way to avoid the rain of bullets and could only twitch and fall to the ground after being shot.

The mortar companies behind the third line of defense were not idle either, specializing in dealing with the machine gunners and grenadier soldiers lying behind the Japanese infantry.

In less than 3 minutes, no less than 400 Japs were shot and killed, and more than 100 people were killed by landmines. More than half of an infantry brigade was directly lost.

However, the Japanese infantry captain did not order a retreat and pinned his hopes on the four 95 tanks.

The Eighth Route Army has no anti-tank weapons. As long as the tanks can break through the Eighth Route Army's position, the Japanese army can quickly capture the position with its powerful stabbing skills!

After the Japanese tanks entered the position 100 meters away, at three inconspicuous positions, the artillerymen of the independent regiment lifted up dead grass branches, revealing the ferocious face of the Type 98 machine gun.

The shells were already loaded. He quickly shook the handle and pointed the muzzle at the Japanese 95 tank.

Then without hesitation, he pressed the firing iron, and the machine gun roared, and the flames instantly extended to three Type 95 tanks.

The Japs in the tank were beaten into several pieces before they could react. The shells even penetrated through the weakly protected parts of the tank and hit the Japs infantry behind.

The Japanese infantrymen who were hit by machine-gun shells were beaten to pieces on the spot.

Three 95 tanks were destroyed almost at the same time. The remaining 95 tank turned around and ran away, but it was obviously too late.
