The first attack of the 155th Division ended in failure.
Less than half of the two companies' attacking troops retreated.
Tan Shenglin, commander of the x463 brigade, put down his telescope in pain.
He had never encountered such an opponent before.
"Prepare to attack again.
Pay attention to their machine guns and cannons.
Tell the brothers to spread out when you charge and let the tanks go."
In the trenches at the starting position of the 155th Division, the newly added soldiers quickly filled the vacancies.
The failure of the first round of attack did not scare them.
The newly replaced infantry battalion learned the lessons from the last time and prepared to fight again.
Behind the position, a rumbling engine sound came, and five tanks slowly accelerated and drove towards the Japanese position.
The five tanks lined up in a straight formation.
After undergoing maintenance and understanding their general directions, the five tanks gradually accelerated and rushed towards Luowang Station.
The infantry followed up and accelerated the attack as the tanks accelerated.
The infantry of the 155th Division had never seen these iron bastards before.
The infantry's line was more than a hundred meters behind the tanks.
Many people felt that relying on these tanks, this This attack was enough to take down the train station.
Soon, they rushed to close range and encountered the firepower of the Japanese army.
Due to the appearance of the tank, the Japanese army pulled the Type 92 infantry cannon to the roof of the train station and launched grenades at a high elevation angle to attack the infantry line.
Being blocked, the distance between the infantry and the tanks became farther and farther.
The rifle bullets fired by the Japanese army made a clanging sound when they hit the tank.
The armor of the CV35 could barely withstand these bullets.
The twin 8mm machine guns on the vehicle opened fire one after another, suppressing the Japanese position.
The five tanks accelerated and charged, and the infantry behind them were far away from them.
However, seeing that the tanks were effective, they all pursued the tanks under fire.
The tank was less than 100 meters away from the Japanese front-line position.
The Japanese troops on the first-line position turned their main firepower to the tank, and the heavy machine guns on the second-line position were heavier to deal with the infantry.
As the distance got closer, the flaws in the CV35's thin armor were exposed.
First, the machine gunner compartment on the right side of a tank was hit.
The bullet hit the machine gun shooter along the observation slit.
The tank, which lost the ability to fight back, was forced to stop.
In place.
After it, the driver of another tank was hit by a penetrating bullet.
The tank stayed alone, and the machine gunner in the vehicle continued to fire back fiercely.
There was a loud bang, and the tank with the driver killed seemed to have been hit by a disaster.
After an explosion, it began to burn and deform.
The shells fired by the Japanese army's two Type 94 rapid-fire cannons hit the tank, and the twisted and deformed tank stayed in place and burned.
Realizing that something was wrong, the remaining three movable tanks accelerated their attack.
They were less than fifty meters away from the Japanese front-line position.
The infantrymen who were a hundred meters behind them saw that the tanks were about to rush to the Japanese position and risked the Japanese attack on the infantry.
With scorching firepower, they charged like crazy with their bayonets drawn.
"launch launch" The commander of the Type 94 rapid-fire artillery squadron of the Japanese army commanded two rapid-fire cannons to attack the tanks.
Due to the close distance, he fired seven or eight rounds, hitting the two tanks one after another, but the last remaining tank was too late. attack.
"Retreat, retreat."
The commander of the Japanese front-line position shouted a retreat order.

Upon seeing this, the Japanese troops in the second-line position were also ready to retreat.
The two positions were too close.
As long as the first line of defense was lost, the second line of defense would surely It was over.
When the Japanese soldiers saw the tanks coming, they quickly picked up their weapons and retreated.
From time to time, some people were knocked down by the machine guns on the tanks.
The last two tanks rushed to the first Japanese position without fear, running over the narrow trenches.
The Japanese soldiers fled and retreated, and several corpses were hanged.
It fell into the crawler tracks and turned into an indescribable shape.
Just as the tank was about to attack the second line of defense, a Sanqi artillery shell and more bullets focused on him at the same time.
The violent explosion tore apart its thin armor.
The driver's body was stained red with blood and fire, and a line of words was written on the soon-to-be-burnt badge.
Hu Yi, Captain and Platoon Commander of the 3rd Platoon of the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Company of the 1149th Regiment Battle The impact of the tanks caused chaos to the Japanese army.
The defeated first line of defense suffered a lot of casualties, but the infantry could not rush over immediately.
More than a minute later, they suffered another minute of intensive shooting.
After the loud shouts of killing, the infantrymen rushed into the first line of defense with bayonets drawn.
While they eliminated the Japanese troops who had not withdrawn, they crossed the trenches and attacked the second line of defense.
The two lines of defense were not far apart.
The Japanese army had just suffered chaos and the firepower was not well organized.
What's more, the soldiers in front of them were extremely brave.
After the light and heavy machine guns killed and wounded dozens of people, the infantry had already rushed into the second trench.
The two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
After a period of hand-to-hand fighting, the Japanese army did not want to entangle.
The sergeant and the squadron leader organized a retreat.
Except for the entangled Japanese soldiers, the rest retreated towards the station and ran towards the fortification positions piled with sandbags outside the station to set up defenses.
The officers and soldiers used bayonets and bullets to kill about 20 remaining Japanese troops in the second line of defense.
The soldiers were extremely excited.
The second attack finally captured the two Japanese lines of defense.
The Japanese suffered more than 60 casualties.
In the process of hand-to-hand combat, more than 130 brothers were killed.
The long-term impact made the soldiers very tired.
Just as they were about to take a breath, artillery shells from the 92nd Infantry in the station came one after another.
The Japanese army pulled the cannon to the roof of the station building and fired grenades and shotgun shells at a high elevation angle.
Many shotshells and steel balls flew everywhere, knocking down a large number of soldiers.
Type 94 rapid-fire cannons and machine gun fire also tried their best to tilt the newly occupied position.
There was no doubt that there were heavy casualties.
At this time, the attack momentum had weakened.
The only option is to retreat.
Cannonballs landed on the position with a bang, blowing the corpses of the two armies on the ground into the sky.
"Stop the attack.
I'm sorry for the sacrifice of the tank."
Li Hanhun shook his head.
Qiu Qingquan on the side did not speak, his face was already very ugly.
Not only did the infantry of the 155th Division fail to consolidate their position, but the tank assigned to them They also suffered heavy losses.
Only one broken down car was snatched back, and the machine gunner was also killed.
"It is fate for soldiers to sacrifice, but it is such a pity."

Qiu Qingquan said sadly.
Li Hanhun looked at Qiu Qingquan with apologetic eyes and said: "Brother Qiu, I'm sorry, the attack can only be postponed. " We fought twice, with a total of more than 300 casualties.
In the end, we occupied the two trenches for less than ten minutes before they were overrun by firepower.
No one would be angry if they put it on so and so, but the station was still in the hands of the Japanese.
Here, the battle still had to be fought.
Qiu Qingquan and Li Hanhun said a few words, then retreated to the column, preparing to mobilize troops and continue the attack.
Li Hanhun was very grateful and agreed to Qiu Qingquan's request, and he himself had to prepare his troops.
The fierce explosions and gunshots spread far away.
Zhang Wei also heard it, or to be precise, he saw it.
The station was originally within the visual distance of the telescope.
After the tank troops set off, he had been paying attention to the battle situation.
Although what he saw in the telescope were small black dots, he could still figure out the general situation.
In the first infantry attack, the 155th Division's tactics were wrong.
The attack formation was too dense.
As soon as the Japanese heavy firepower came up, they had to lie down for a while.
The second time was due to poor infantry-tank coordination.
"Alas" Zhang Wei put down the telescope and said:
