Shun Tada gave the order, Dohashi gave the order once, and Tetsuzo Ide kept pleading. Lieutenant General Toshiro Kinoshita, commander of the Japanese Third Flying Group, dispatched all the planes he could and bombarded Jinggou and Chaigou.
Exploded, covering Colonel Nobuo Tanaka and joining Major Tian Minjiang of the 1st Battalion of the 212th Regiment of the Japanese Army who was attacking the front line of Jinggou, and supported the commander of the 212th Regiment, Colonel Fourth Colonel Eto, in the crazy attack on Chaigou.
Under the cover of the aircraft, the remnants of Colonel Nobuo Tanaka finally reunited with Major Tian Minjiang of the 1st Battalion of the 212th Regiment of the Japanese Army who attacked the Jinggou front line, and Wang Linmao, leader of the 1st Brigade and 1st Regiment of the Puppet Ludong Peacebuilding Revolutionary Army.
Seeing the elite 211th Regiment in this state, the arrogant Major Tian Minjiang, captain of the First Battalion of the 212th Regiment, was swayed by strong revenge and anger. Together with Colonel Tanaka Nobuo, they overtook all the puppet troops commanded by the two groups.
The crazy attack on the battlefield finally forced the Eighth Route Army in Jinggou to abandon its position and retreat to the Chaigou defense line. In this way, the two Japanese and puppet troops completely merged, forming a pincer attack on the Eighth Route Army's core defensive position on the Chaigou front line.
.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the forwards of the First Division of Japanese Tanks rushed to the Chaigou and Jinggou lines along the highway from Gaomi to Zhucheng.
At this time, the front-line battlefield in Chaigou was in a stalemate. The Japanese and puppet troops had been attacking from the morning until now. They had exhausted all their tactics including plane bombardment, artillery bombing, and poison gas bombs. As a result, they lost troops and generals, and the fields were littered with corpses. They were completely unable to attack.
Like a pack of wounded hungry wolves, they bared their teeth, panted, and stared with blood-red eyes at the Eighth Route Army defense line in front of them.
It’s no wonder that the little devils couldn’t do anything about the Eighth Route Army’s core defense line in Chaigou. This was because the Eighth Route Army’s defensive positions were different from those constructed by the Japanese army. It was a large plum blossom formation composed of triangular formations.
Traffic trenches are connected with each other, and there are anti-gun holes in the trenches and communication trenches to avoid the bombing of aircraft bombs and artillery shells. As long as the Japanese and puppet troops break into the formation, they will be covered by the cross fire network and cannot escape.
As soon as the first division of Japanese tanks arrived, the little Japanese became excited, and the soldiers even howled and cheered.
Soon, the main force of the Japanese First Division of Tanks arrived on the battlefield, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto, took over command of the battlefield.
Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto has just been transferred from the principalship of Gongzhuling Tank School to the commander of the 1st Tank Division. His command of the battle is as textbook and quite satisfactory, even though he knows that the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade cannot fly to the Chaigou battlefield at this time.
After participating in the war, he still ordered the air defense team of the 1st Tank Division to establish anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun positions to prevent the Eighth Route Army air attacks.
Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto gathered all the field artillery and regimental artillery of the field artillery brigade assigned to the 212th Regiment of the Regiment, and established an artillery position. The muzzles of the guns were all raised high, pointing at the Eighth Route Army position on the Chaigou line.
.
Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto had to be cautious when such a large tank group went into battle.
Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto called the commander of the 212th Regiment, Colonel Eto Yoshiro, and cursed him for being a woman, for not daring to set fire to sorghum, which affected the shooting range and protected the Eighth Route Army.
After scolding, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto ordered the engineering team of the 1st Tank Division and the engineers commanded by the 212th Regiment to set fire to all the sorghum in several sorghum fields in front of Chaigou, preparing the ground for the 1st Tank Division to attack.
Make room for a spacious front.
What a good Hoshino Toshimoto, he didn’t know he was about to die, but he was still committing evil!
Thick smoke rose and filled the sky over Chaigou, and everywhere there was the sound of the nearly mature sorghum ears burning. Occasionally there was the sound of the bombing of landmines planted by the Eighth Route Army that had been detonated by the burning fire.
Listening to the sound of landmines exploding, Hoshino Toshimoto and Eto Yoshiro burst into laughter. Only Colonel Tanaka Nobuo, whose entire army was almost wiped out, looked at everything in front of him with a sad look on his face.
It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that the fire in the sorghum field in front of Chaigou was extinguished, and the Japanese engineers also put out the remaining fire. Only then did Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto stroke his mustache and call for the aviation force to attack the Eighth Route Army positions on the front line of Chaigou again.
Carry out bombing.
Watching the planes flying over the Eighth Route Army positions on the Chaigou line one after another, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto, Colonel Eto Fourth Colonel, Colonel Tanaka Nobuo and others said: "To deal with the Eighth Route Army, there is no need to skimp on ammunition. Didn't they build their positions well?"
?We will use bombs and artillery shells to blow up the landmark three feet. No matter how strong the fortification is, it will collapse, and Tubal Road will be buried inside and become a mole!"
The Fourth Lieutenant of Eito, Osoren, said that Lieutenant General Your Excellency is wise!
After the plane completed a wave of bombing, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto immediately issued the bombardment order.
The howitzers and field artillery on the Japanese artillery position all roared, and the shells hit the Eighth Route Army position. There was a gorgeous 10-minute salvo of artillery fire!
Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto could clearly see through the telescope that the trenches and fire points of the Eighth Route Army had been blown to pieces by aerial bombs and artillery shells. He could also see the Eighth Route Army soldiers bending down along the traffic trenches and retreating hastily under artillery fire.
Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto couldn't wait any longer. Before the salvo of artillery fire ended, he issued an order for an all-out assault on the front line of Chaigou. He was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would escape.
The Japanese army began to attack. More than 400 tanks from three tank regiments were organized into squadrons, forming arrows. They roared along the road, passing through the burned sorghum fields, towards the defense line of the core position of the Eighth Route Army in Chaigou.
Pounced over.
Behind the groups of tanks, there were more than a thousand armored vehicles and cars of the Japanese Mobile First Infantry Regiment, following the tanks and crushing them forward. The Mobile First Artillery Regiment, which had just stopped shelling, was also pulled by cars.
Equipped with howitzers and field artillery, as the large forces attack forward, they are ready to provide artillery support for the tank attack group. The infantry of the 212th Regiment of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army, the remaining troops of the 211th Regiment, and the remaining puppet troops are all involved
In order to attack, they followed tanks, armored vehicles, and cars and launched a charge.
In front of the core position of the Eighth Route Army in Chaigou, there was an overwhelming yellow tide.
The trenches and communication trenches all became vulnerable under the tracks of the Japanese army's large tank fleet. All the way to the last anti-tank trench in the core position of Chaigou, the little Japanese were dumbfounded!
This is an anti-tank trench with a mouth width of 6 meters, a bottom width of 4 meters, and a depth of 9 meters. Different from ordinary anti-tank trenches, the excavated soil is not piled on both sides, but all the accumulated soil is piled on the sides.
On one side of Chaigou, a soft earth embankment more than two meters high was formed.
The Japanese tanks rushing at the front couldn't see clearly. They thought it was an ordinary trench from a distance. They rushed up with more power, and fell into the trench with a splash.
As a result, the wild-horse-like Japanese tank group had to stop, and the Japanese motorized infantry and infantry behind them all caught up to observe the situation.
The engineering team and maintenance team of the 1st Division of Japanese Tank Vehicles drove up. After seeing the situation, they felt that using forklifts modified from tanks to shovel soil to fill trenches was too slow, and there were few forklifts, which could not meet the needs, so they decided to shovel soil while doing so.
The ditch was filled and a rutted bridge was built with tanks on one side.
The so-called rutted bridge is actually two steel plates equipped with wheels. Using the lifting and traction equipment on the bridging tank, they are erected on the trench one on the left and one on the right according to the distance between the tank tracks, so that the tank can follow these two plates.
Steel plates pass through trenches.
War is the most concentrated testing ground for various technologies. Since the birth of tanks in World War I, anti-tank trenches have also been born. In fact, anti-tank trenches are obstacle positions that block enemy tank attacks. Because of the emergence of anti-tank trenches,
Tank trenches, tank troops studied how to cross anti-tank trenches, which gave rise to rutted bridges, and tank troops were equipped with tanks and bulldozers for shoveling earth.
The First Tank Division of the Japanese Army is the tank group unit of the Japanese Army and has all these equipments.
The rutted bridge was erected, and there were many of them. The Japanese tanks drove onto the rutted bridge and began to cross the anti-tank trench under the eager gaze of many pairs of eyes.
What the Japanese tank crews didn't expect was that this anti-tank trench was so weird. The other end of the trench was more than two meters higher. The rutted bridge was built with one end higher and the other lower, and the higher end rested on a soft earth embankment.
The tank crossing the bridge swayed left and right and accidentally fell into the trench.
The tanks that were lucky enough to pass through the rutted bridge were even worse, because when crossing the earth embankment, the vehicle body lifted up, exposing the weak bottom of the armor; when crossing the earth embankment and coming down, the fragile top was exposed again. "The head is raised and the belly is exposed, the head is lowered and the back is exposed."
", gave the Eighth Route Army at least two excellent aiming and shooting opportunities, and became a "living target" for the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank artillery fire.
No, a medium-sized tank had just staggered across the rutted bridge. With a loud bang, it was turned into a fireball by the Eighth Route Army's rocket launcher, which made the Japanese army gasp.
How could any kid know that the anti-tank trench dug by the Eighth Route Army was based on the Golan trench dug by the Israeli army during the 1974 Middle East War in later history. At that time, the Syrian army was equipped with 800 Soviet-made T-62 main tanks.
Three armored brigades of battle tanks led three infantry divisions and went straight to the Golan Heights to cover them up. As a result, they were blocked in front of the anti-tank trenches built by the Israeli army, and 250 tanks and 260 armored vehicles were destroyed by the Israeli army.
After the war, this anti-tank trench was named the Golan trench, and the Arabs also called the Golan trench area the "Valley of Tears."
Gradually, the Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, and infantry gathered together, all eagerly waiting for the fleet of tanks and aircraft to break through the inexplicable anti-tank trench of the Eighth Route Army.
Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto had never seen such a weird anti-tank trench, but he was confident of breaking through. Looking at the sky, he felt that there were at least two hours until dark, and there was still time. Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto ordered to call the aviation force.
Fly to the battlefield again, cover the tank assault, and prevent the Eighth Route Army from playing tricks!
