In the position that Zhang Wei and others were attacking, all kinds of Japanese firearms were ready to fire after the shelling.
The Japanese firearms in the position were mainly light weapons of the infantry unit.
Heavy machine guns were placed in the temporary bunkers in the position, and light weapons were used.
Machine guns and bunkers serve as fulcrums, forming a first-line defense.
From the perspective of the Japanese army, the Chinese army has fully pressed forward.
Waves of skirmishers are attacking the position.
The Japanese non-commissioned officers and low-level officers have organized the soldiers into their positions.
As the Chinese army gradually approaches, the atmosphere in the Japanese position changes.
Getting more nervous.
"Charge and follow the tanks in front."
Zhang Wei ordered the entire battalion of soldiers to deploy in order and quickly engage the enemy.
At the same time, he took a look at the formation of friendly troops on both wings.
Compared with the preparation battalion, the formation of the friendly skirmishers on both wings was a bit chaotic.
After all, the 46th Division had many recruits and had suffered a lot of casualties in previous battles, so the offensive organization was naturally a bit poor.
The three tanks in front slowly moved forward.
After charging for a while, the Japanese position gradually became clearer, and the tanks and infantry all accelerated involuntarily.
The Japanese troops had not yet opened fire.
When the Japanese troops on the position saw tanks, many Japanese troops vaguely felt that the situation was not good.
Although they were on the front line, they only had basic infantry firearms, infantry cannons, and rapid-fire artillery deployed in the rear positions. , fire support such as mountain artillery is even further away.
The Japanese commander in the position was a captain.
He commanded two infantry squadrons and a heavy machine gun squadron under unified command.
When he saw the Chinese army's tanks, it was too late to apply for additional rapid-fire artillery.
He could only place his hope.
To support the firepower, he immediately contacted the infantry artillery brigade and the mountain artillery regiment in the rear to bombard the attacking Chinese army.
At this time, the two sides were only more than a hundred meters apart.
The Japanese infantry artillery and the regiment's mountain artillery fired quickly.
As the distance between the two sides was shortened, these artillery fired only a few rounds.
The shelling at this time was more of a remedial measure.
"Boom, boom!"
The Japanese infantry artillery shells and mountain artillery shells fired at low trajectories.
The artillery shells flew and hit the attacking troop formation.
The artillery shells landed and exploded, knocking down many soldiers, but it did not stop the aggressive attacking troops.
Almost immediately after the Japanese artillery shells landed and exploded, the Japanese troops on the position began to open fire.
Light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers formed a hail of bullets, killing and injuring the attacking troops.
Soldier.
After the preparation battalion suffered casualties among some soldiers, the attack formation further expanded, spreading out to avoid bullets.
Although there was some confusion among the friendly forces on both wings, they were still moving forward.
Everyone continued to charge forward with the tanks as their guide.
As soon as the Japanese army opened fire, the three tanks in the vanguard could not sit idle.
In the tank, the platoon leader of the tank platoon ordered the three tanks in the platoon to cover the infantry attack through the caller, and to reduce the vehicle speed appropriately to prevent being separated from the infantry.
The 45mm tank cannon and DT tank machine gun on the T26 tank targeted the Japanese army.
The position fired fiercely to suppress the fire.
On the Japanese position, various firearms were still firing.
Rifle machine gun shells and grenade launchers killed and wounded many Chinese infantrymen who attacked.
After the three T26 tanks opened fire, even if the Japanese troops on the position were prepared to resist the tanks, they could not For the tank shells that hit me and machine gun shells, it was still quite difficult.

Just three rounds from the tank gun, it destroyed a light machine gun group.
Some of the shells fell into the Japanese trenches.
The shrapnel generated by the explosion killed and injured many Japanese infantry.
The machine gun on the tank continued to fire.
The machine gun bullets were aimed at the Japanese positions as flatly as possible.
The bullets hit in front of the Japanese positions.
The Soviet machine gun bullets stirred up bursts of dust.
Many Japanese soldiers were beaten so hard that they could not raise their heads to shoot, and the rhythm of shooting was disrupted.
The attacking troops who encountered the firepower of the Japanese infantry had to slow down their advance.
As soon as the tanks opened fire, the pressure on the infantry suddenly decreased.
Zhang Wei saw the three tanks in front of him firing while slowing down, and knew that this was happening.
In order to protect the infantry, the Japanese bullets and grenades are still spraying out.
The infantry must continue to accelerate the attack with all their strength and cooperate with the tanks.
The distance to the Japanese position is less than 100 meters.
The tanks have already opened fire, and the infantry has to follow.
There are tanks in front of the preparation battalion.
The troops are still charging against the rain of bullets.
The friendly forces on both wings lack tank cover, and there are not enough on hand. accompanied by suppressive fire, its formation has been aligned with the preparation battalion There was a certain degree of disconnection.
When the Japanese fire came, they had to slow down and fight back while advancing.
They were faintly behind the two wings of the preparation camp.
Zhang Wei didn't want to get out of touch and attack.
It is extremely easy to leave the Japanese army with an opportunity to counterattack.
Of course the Japanese are not stupid.
There is a tank cover in front of the preparation camp in the middle.
It is very difficult to fight.
A lot of firepower is transferred to the 46th Division troops on the two wings.
Some light and heavy machine guns are turned over and shoot fiercely at the 46th Division troops on the two wings.
The 46th Division's Both battalions suffered heavy casualties.
"Grenade, let the grenade hit the Japanese positions and reinforce the friendly forces on both wings."
Zhang Wei followed the path opened by the tank and came to Qiu Wei, who was organizing a continuous attack.
"Battal Commander, the situation of the friendly forces on both wings is not good."
Zhang Wei patted Qiu Wei: "So let your company's grenades hit the Japanese troops.
Try to hit them in the direction of the two wings to reduce the pressure on the friendly forces.
If the overall formation is out of joint, it will be a bad choice."
"Grenade group, attack both wings, reinforce friendly forces" The six grenade groups of the first company paused their advance and stopped behind the three tanks to avoid the Japanese direct-fire shells and prepared to launch.
The surrounding assault infantry quickly moved forward to provide cover for the grenade groups.
Six Type 89 grenades launched grenades at the Japanese positions on both wings.
The two sides were not far away.
The Japanese positions were completely within the range of the grenade.
The grenades were thrown along the trajectory of the two wings to both wings.
An explosion occurred in the Japanese army's position, The purpose of the grenadiers was to try their best to suppress and provide cover for the friendly forces on both wings.
The aim did not need to be too detailed.
They adjusted to the approximate position and then loaded and fired.
In just a few minutes, twenty grenades hit the Japanese position. inside.
The Japanese troops on both wings fought hard against the 46th Division.

A burst of grenades came down, and the Japanese troops were caught off guard.
A small number of unlucky Japanese soldiers were killed by the grenades, which further reduced the firing frequency.
The cover purpose of the grenades was achieved, and the explosive firepower caused The intensity of the Japanese attack on the 46th Division on both wings was greatly reduced.
The officers of the 46th Division knew Zhang Wei's intentions.
The Japanese firepower on both wings weakened.
The officers immediately directed the delayed troops to rush forward, follow up the preparation battalion, and advance together.
The rain of bullets from the Japanese army continued.
After a small setback, the Chinese attacking troops who had suppressed the Japanese army rushed forward quickly despite the rain of bullets.
Bullets from the Japanese army continued to knock down the charging soldiers, but due to the suppression of tanks and grenade launchers, the current firepower of the Japanese army could not completely stop the attack of the Chinese army.
When a person fell, the people around him did not care at all.
It was charging against a hail of bullets.
The Japanese captain in command was anxious and angry.
The Chinese troops in the front were about to rush into the position.
There was no better way to come up with this situation, especially the tanks of the Chinese army, which caused too much damage to the Japanese position.
After a violent explosion, a semi-hidden simple bunker not far from the captain was hit by a tank shell and exploded to pieces.
The personnel and heavy machine guns in the bunker were all turned into minced meat and scrap metal
