One hundred meters.

The Japanese army howled loudly in the water splashes caused by bullets and artillery shells. Under the light of the flares, Zhang Chi could even see their distorted faces like wild animals and the shining cold light on the rushing knife.

If Zhang Chi had not had several battle experiences before, he had already been mentally prepared at this time, and I was afraid that his feet would become weak when he saw this scene. But even so, Zhang Chi was still so nervous that he was breathing heavily.

This may be the momentum that is often mentioned in the novel. Zhang Chi admits that the Japanese army's troops are indeed wild, fierce, and the momentum that ordinary troops do not have. No wonder although the British army has advanced equipment and more troops, they still have to collapse in front of the Japanese army at once and for thousands of miles.

Eighty meters.

The Japanese army's cover troops were not idle either. They fired strings of bullets and various artillery shells in the direction of the expeditionary force.

Bullets are machine gun bullets. Most of them hit the front armor of the tank and made a "bang" sound like a bean-like explosion. Of course, they cannot pose a threat to the tank, because even the M3 light tank has a front armor of 38MM, while the Type 92 heavy machine gun equipped by the Japanese army can only barely penetrate about 10MM of steel plates.

Their purpose of doing this is, firstly, because the tanks of the Expeditionary Force are about to roll up, and it is useless for them to keep the bullets. Secondly, it can put a certain psychological pressure on the tank crew of the Expeditionary Force, such as the captain, dare not stick his head out to observe. Therefore, the tank's perception ability to the outside world can be minimized to reduce its killing against the Japanese army that charges.

The cannons are mortars and grenade launchers.

These are also difficult to pose a great threat to tanks. Especially the grenade launcher, this thing is a grenade launcher. Even if it hits the tank directly, it will bounce off. Even if it does not bounce off, its explosion power is not enough to blow through the tank's armor.

But the Japanese army still shot these shells in large numbers, and they hit the two armies... Their purpose was very obvious, to use these shells and the splashes of the grenades to interfere with the sight of the tankers of the Expeditionary Force, making the machine gunners and gunners among them unable to accurately aim at the target.

Sixty meters.

It should be said that the Japanese army's tactic of interfering with sight is quite effective, which makes the bullets and shells fired by the Expeditionary Force tanks powerful, but a considerable part of them are targetless and randomly... Of course, part of this is also the reason for the insufficient training of the Expeditionary Force tank players, after all, they only trained for three days.

This made the Japanese army get closer and closer to the expeditionary force. Zhang Chi couldn't help but look nervously at Wang Mazi, who was also advancing behind the tank, who was not far away.

As a regiment commander, Wang Mazi originally did not need to participate in such front-line battles directly, but in his words, if this battle is not won, the entire 200th Division would be trapped in Tonggu and wait for death. When will he go to the battlefield if he doesn't go to the battlefield?!

This is indeed reasonable, so as the commander of the regiment, he rushed to the front line with his own guard squad.

Not to mention, this is really useful. The soldiers of the Engineer Regiment will take it for granted: the regiments are not afraid of death, what are we soldiers afraid of? So they all followed the tanks step by step.

Forty meters...

Zhang Chi couldn't help but look at Wang Mazi again.

You should know that this has reached the distance to throw grenades. Although Zhang Chi does not have much military knowledge, he knows that although the bullets cannot turn, the grenades will go on curves. If they try closer, the Japanese army can throw grenades at the infantry behind the tank, which is very likely to cause the expeditionary army to separate the infantry and tanks and defeat them.

But Wang Mazi was still waiting, waiting...

It was not until he saw the Japanese army reaching out to touch the grenade that he shouted "Take!", and then he took the lead in raising his pistol and fired a shuttle bullet at the enemy.

In an instant, gunfire sounded, and the soldiers hiding behind the tank showed their origins and held their rifles to shoot bullets at the Japanese army. At this time, the soldiers used Enfield, who was known as the fastest firing speed among the bolt-pull rifles, so they fired the bullet like raindrops and flew towards the Japanese army charging.

At this time, Zhang Chi couldn't help but admire Wang Mazi's choice of the opportunity to start the battle, because Zhang Chi discovered that many Japanese soldiers had just pulled the fuse of the grenade and were knocked to the ground, and the grenades undoubtedly exploded in their own team.

The scene was a true collision of steel and flesh... Although the Japanese army had the courage and their charges were also very powerful, war, especially the modern war of the development of individual weapons, it was not enough to have courage and momentum alone, and it also required the cooperation of weapons and equipment.

This has been verified again and again on the anti-Japanese battlefield in China... How many warriors charged towards the Japanese tanks with rifles and bayonets, but fell in pieces.

At this moment, on the battlefield where the 200th Division broke through, although the hostile sides were still Chinese and Japanese armies, the situation was lost, and the Japanese army was charging towards the steel defense line composed of the Chinese army with bayonets.

The result was... with the roar of warheads, the rain of bullets brought blood to the Japanese army, and many Japanese soldiers were even beaten to death when they fell into the river.

"Bang bang..." Like other soldiers, Zhang Chi used his skillful rapid-fire action to empti the ten bullets in the magazine in one breath when he flashed out of the tank, and then retreated behind the tank to load the magazine under the cover of the tank.

The instructor once said: "Don't waste time aiming, all I want is you to shoot all the bullets!"

This may be a bit extreme, but in fact it is very consistent with the current situation of the Engineer Corps and the battle of Se Danghe.

The reason is that... the Engineer Regiment is not the main combat unit. There were only a few who were accurate in shooting (if they were accurate, they would have been transferred to the main combat unit long ago). Now, they have suddenly changed into a rifle like Enfield, which is not familiar to him. Overall, there is no accurate point.

It just so happened that Enfield's biggest advantage is its rate of fire rather than accuracy, so he simply fully utilized its rapid rate of fire: the little Japanese scored 100%, but they could only shoot five to eight bullets in a minute. We shot one hundred shots, but we shot thirty bullets in a minute. The rain of bullets fired by the entire army... Even if a blind cat hits a dead mouse, the Japanese army would not be able to stand it.

It is said that it is suitable for the battle in Se Danghe because it was under the charge of the Japanese army launching the "Yazakui attack". If the fire speed is slow, the Japanese army had already rushed to the front before the ordinary rifle had fired two bullets.

It should be said that the Japanese army made this plan. They thought that the rifles equipped by the Chinese army should be Mosin Nagan reported by the 55th Division. If they knew it was an English Enfield, they would definitely have some concerns before charging.
