At dawn the next day, the 114th Division and the 6th Division of the Japanese army attacked the national army from the mountain to the second line of defense in the Western Hills. From afar, there was a kind of mighty momentum that swallowed the world and was the only one in the world. It seemed that the Chinese army was so weak that it could not withstand a single blow.
Shoufu Taniya and Shigeji Suematsu were sitting in a Japanese military jeep, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan water town while indulging in the dream of slaughtering the Chinese people in the past.
"Mo Song-Jun, do you think we can break into Wuxing City today?”Gu Shoufu dreamed of entering Wuxing City as soon as possible to enjoy the pleasure of slaughtering the people of China. He wanted to use war to nurture war. Every day, there were people in the Imperial Army of Japan who died for the Emperor. Couldn't he let them enjoy themselves after taking over the city? They robbed things, robbed girls, burned things, and killed people. Others said that he was a butcher, but they were right. He was a butcher. What could they do to him? We had planes, cannons, and tanks, while the Chinese army had nothing but a few broken guns. Isn't this at our mercy?
"It's a little difficult to break into Wu Xingcheng today?”Suematsu Shigeji poured cold water on him.
"Why?" Gu Shoufu was a little confused.
"Not to mention attacking the county, even breaking through the national army's second line of defense is a bit difficult. According to reliable intelligence, the one defending the position of Shengshan was the deputy commander of the 172nd Division of the National Army, Xia Guozhang. This person had made outstanding achievements on the battlefield of Songhu. This person was brave in battle, meticulous in thinking, and difficult to deal with. A few days ago, he led his 522nd Brigade to build a strong defense line from Shengshan to Xishan.”
"Yuxi, I like finding experts in chess and tough opponents in war. It seems that the tank and armored company I brought will be put to use. "Hahahahaha…" Gu Shoufu was a little smug.
"Our two Regiments, tens of thousands of people, will rush over and flatten the mountain.”Suematsu Shigeharu was also a little carried away.
"No, no, no, to deal with the small Ascending Mountain camp, one division of mine is enough. You go attack the front line from Balidian to the West Mountain, attack in all directions, and make the enemy unable to care about the head and tail.”Gu Shoufu was full of confidence.
"Alright, let's put on a good show!”Suematsu Shigeharu was very proud of himself.
"Xiaye Jun, give the order to prepare the mortars. After the bombardment, the tanks and armored vehicles will charge in front, followed by the infantry. Take down the Ascending Mountain Camp in two hours!" Gu Shoufu ordered hysterically.
In the Shengshan national army position, the national soldiers were armed with live ammunition. Xia Guozhang stood in the trenches and used binoculars to observe the enemy situation in front. He saw that nearly 10,000 Japanese troops had arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the Japanese artillery was setting up mortars to bombard our position.
"Pass down the order. The Japanese army is about to bombard. Everyone, hide!”Xia Guozhang ordered the messenger beside him.
The soldiers quickly put away their guns, held their heads with their hands, and lay prone in the trenches.
"Bang bang…"
The Japanese mortars sounded in turn, and the shells emitted a terrifying and sharp whistle as they went straight to the national army's position.
Boom! Boom!
One by one, the shells exploded on the national army's position, raising clouds of black smoke. The shrapnel from the explosion hit everywhere, sending sand and dust flying. Some of the soldiers were unfortunately hit by the artillery shells and fell heavily into the air with the airwaves, sacrificing themselves heroically. Some of the soldiers were injured and sat in the trenches, screaming in pain. The medical staff quickly came over to bandage their wounds.
After a round of bombardment, there were no shouts of the Japanese charging. Instead, there was silence, a deathly silence.
Suddenly, a strange roar of machinery came from afar. The sound grew louder and louder. The noisy roar made people uneasy and terrifying. This was a sound that was rarely heard on the battlefield in the past.
Deputy Commander Xia couldn't help but pick up his binoculars and look down the mountain. Good heavens, there were so many iron lumps out of nowhere, lined up in a row, slowly and steadily advancing forward. The uneven hillside was like flat ground under the chain tracks of the iron lumps. The Japanese infantry followed closely behind the iron lumps and searched forward.
Deputy Commander Xia heard that Ouyang Feilong was a strange person and quickly sent someone to call him over. He stuffed the binoculars into his hands and said," I heard that you subdued the Red Spear Gang and led them to block the Japanese army in Nanxun for an entire day. Good job!"”
"Where? This was what a citizen of China should do!”
"I heard that you are a strange person with great martial arts. Can you help me take a look? What are those iron lumps of the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain?”
"Alright, let me see…tanks and armored vehicles!”Fei Long replied.
"I know it's tanks and armored vehicles. I'm asking for specific parameters!”Xia Guozhang was getting impatient. He had seen it during the Battle of Songhu, but he had never studied it in detail. He did not know how to deal with such an iron guy.
"Alright, I'll take a look!" Fei Long replied. Fei Long was a military fan. He knew everything. He took a closer look and the relevant parameters immediately appeared in his mind.

Fei Long explained the relevant parameters to Deputy Commander Xia in detail. Deputy Commander Xia listened carefully, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
At this time, the Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry stopped. The long barrels of the tanks rose high and aimed at the national army's position. The shells flew straight to the national army's position. Smoke billowed from the position and shrapnel flew in the trenches. Our soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
"Damn those Japanese, they're so brazen with their iron weapons. Brothers, beat them up!”Deputy Commander Xia ordered bitterly.
"Pa, pa, pa…"
The national army brothers and the Red Gun Brotherhood brothers opened fire on the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
"Ding ding dang dang…"
Bullets hit the thick steel plates of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles without any effect.
"What should I do? If this continues, we will definitely suffer a huge loss!”Deputy Commander Xia asked Fei Long anxiously.
"If you want to blow up the tank, you must first knock down the armored vehicle. The armored vehicle is equipped with a machine gun to protect the tank from approaching.”Fei Long analyzed carefully.
"How do we knock down armored vehicles and blow up tanks?”Deputy Division Commander Xia was very eager to know the specific method. The situation was urgent, and in order to avoid more casualties, he had to come up with a specific plan as soon as possible.
"If you trust me, do as I say. Gather all the heavy machine guns in the brigade and aim them at the armored vehicles. I will be responsible for leading the machine gunners to deal with the armored vehicles. Then, gather all the grenades in the brigade. Every five grenades will be grouped together to form a cluster bomb. The brothers of the Red Gun Association will be responsible for blowing up the tanks.”
"Alright, I believe you. I will prepare the weapons and ammunition.”
A moment later, everything was ready, and the battle to stop the tanks was about to begin.
