The Japanese slowed down their attack and waited for the tanks to charge forward. Then they could follow the tanks and attack.
They had personally experienced the firepower of the 1st Battalion. At least a few dozen machine guns were deployed in a two-kilometer-long position. It was simply insane.
Now that they had a tank, it was different. At least it gave them a sense of security. Their machine guns could not deal with a tank.
Xu Ziqiu frowned when he saw this scene. He didn't expect the Japanese tanks to come up so quickly. These tanks were specially transferred by Kawagishi Wensaburo to deal with them.
"Anti-tank, destroy them!"
Since they didn't get an anti-tank cannon, they only had a large-caliber anti-tank gun with a caliber of 12.7mm. However, they used special bullets, so their armor-piercing ability reached 35mm. It was already a good anti-tank rifle.
The barrel of this rifle was very long, mainly to provide more powerful armor-piercing ability for the bullets.
One carried a long sword on his back. The soldier with the gun went to a pit and laid down. He then set up his anti-tank rifle and aimed at a tank that was slowly moving forward with his 8x scope.
Seeing the tank, he couldn't help but smile. Then, he decisively pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" The muzzle flame shot out for a long time, raising dust on the ground. A bullet spun at high speed through the rifling and headed toward its target.
If one were to slow down, one could clearly see that the bullets effortlessly penetrated the 20mm armor. The metal jet kept running around inside the tank, harvesting the lives of the Japanese.
The Japanese soldiers behind the tank heard a loud bang. Then, the tank braked and stopped moving.
This made them feel very strange. They were now charging at the flat ground in front of the camp, so why didn't they continue advancing? He couldn't just leave us here.
"Bang!" "Bang!" Two more crisp sounds rang out. This time, two bullets hit the tank, and black smoke rose from it.
The Japanese finally understood what was going on. The other side had anti-tank forces, and their tanks could not hold on.
Obviously, the other tanks had also discovered the problem, but it seemed too late to retreat now. They could only brace themselves and charge forward.
At this time, they were still 500 meters away from the camp and had already entered the range of their tank cannons, so they also began to fire.
"Boom!" A mortar shell landed behind a tank, and the Japanese soldiers there were instantly killed and injured.
Then, one shell after another fell, and the Japanese soldiers behind the destroyed tanks suffered. They became fixed targets.
A few mortar shells even hit a destroyed tank, turning it into a fireball.
The Japanese army panicked. They realized that even if they had tanks, they were not very reliable. In less than two minutes, the tanks were paralyzed in front of the position, 400 meters away from the position.
At this time, they were already within the effective range of the machine gun, but Xu Ziqiu did not order the machine gun to fire, because it would only scare the Japanese away. He wanted to give them some psychological comfort before continuing to charge.
However, the machine guns did not fire. The anti-tank rifles were still working, but their target had changed from tanks to people.
If that bullet hit a person, it would not be as simple as a hole. It could even directly turn a person into minced meat.
An anti-tank rifler aimed at a Japanese soldier who was peeking his head out and sneered as he pulled the trigger.
The head of the Japanese soldier that stuck his head out turned into a bloody mist, and pieces flew everywhere. The Japanese soldiers behind the tank not far away were shocked.
Then, he felt a warm sensation on his face. He couldn't help but wipe his hand. He saw that his hand was stained with something white. It was the soldier's brain. He immediately felt his stomach churn.
"Bang bang bang…"
The anti-tank rifle gunshots continued to ring out, dealing a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese army. The Japanese captain couldn't help but be furious when he saw this scene.
Now that they were stuck at the position, they could not retreat or not retreat.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The captain ordered the troops to charge. Dongyi people were all very brave. It was just a few dozen machine guns. They were nothing. They still charged.
Now, the higher-ups had already given a death order to them to take down this position. They had even specially sent tanks to help in the battle. Now, they had to take down the opposite position at the cost of the entire brigade.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers shouted and charged forward with their guns, stopping from time to time to shoot. The Japanese soldiers were quite accurate.
"Fire!"
"Si, si, si!" "Bang bang bang!"
The MG42 machine gun and the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle opened fire. The fierce firepower poured on the charging Japanese soldiers. Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers seemed to have encountered an invisible wall. They fell one by one and could not move forward.
