"Ha Yi!"
Soon, Kudo Ichiro sent another infantry regiment to reinforce the second line of defense.
For a moment, the Japanese showed signs of recovery.
At the same time, Utada ordered a new batch of suicide squads to charge forward, wanting to blow up Li Hu's tanks.
Now, Li Hu's tank had entered the second line of defense of the Japanese and began a white-hot battle.
"For the empire, charge, kill Jiji!”A 10-man suicide squad, each carrying a bag of explosives, charged towards the tanks that were only 30 meters away.
"Machine Gunners, cover fire for the suicide squad!”
"Throwing barrels and mortars, cover them! We must make sure that the enemy infantry hiding in the tanks can't raise their heads and can't deal a fatal blow to our suicide squad!”
Ten suicide squads, a total of 50 squads, that was 500 people!
It had to be said that the Japanese were also bloodthirsty and had invested a lot.
They knew very well that rather than being crushed and killed by the other party, it was better to fight to the death.
It was a good thing to fight for one.
Finally, out of more than 500 people, only 30 or so Japanese were lucky enough to rush in front of the tank and ignite the explosives in their hands.
In the end, only 21 out of the 30-odd people managed to successfully get under the tank's undercarriage, attempting to commit suicide with the tank.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A red-eyed Japanese holding a bag of explosives rushed directly to the front of a T-34 tank and then drilled under the tank's undercarriage.
Then, he ignited the explosives. Boom!
The entire tank was blown up as if it was about to leave the ground. Smoke and dust billowed.
"Damn it, these Japanese are really not afraid of death.”
"He actually dared to get under the tank and ignite the explosives. Fortunately, the tank managed to survive!”
The few clone soldiers heaved a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Utada was overjoyed when he saw the 30-odd suicide squads charging in front of the tanks. If half of them could penetrate the tanks, they would be able to take out 20 - 30 tanks, right?
However, dreams were beautiful, but reality was harsh.
Other than a dozen tanks, the rest of the tanks were completely unharmed!
Even those who drilled into the tank to detonate the explosives could not blow up the T-34 tank's undercarriage!
For the T34, the tank weighed 32 tons, and the chassis was 40 centimeters above the ground. The undercarriage was made of steel plates with a thickness of 18- 22mm. Generally speaking, the average width of a person's head was 21 centimeters, and the thickness of the body was about this value. Therefore, an adult could hold a bundle of explosives and crawl under the tank.
But in this case, with the bottom of the T34 tank with a thickness of 20mm, could a mere explosive bag be blown up? In fact, the 20mm thick armor at the bottom of the T34 could withstand the power of such a pack of explosives. Even if they could drill to the bottom, they would not have a chance to destroy the T34 tank. At most, it would only destroy the tracks and load wheels, or blow up the undercarriage.
Therefore, these suicide squads did not cause much damage to Li Hu's T-34 tank.
"Charge, charge, charge! Defeat the enemy and surround them!" Li Hu was behind the army, supervising the battle.
He was very satisfied with the current progress of the attack.
To be honest, even though he was a transmigrator, this was the first time he had seen a real blitzkrieg battle.
It had to be said that it was perfect under the use of his batch of clone soldiers!
In addition, the automatic rifle was even more useful in close combat.
The tanks worked together with the infantry and charged towards the 8th division's line of defense.
Finally, half an hour later.
Even though the 8th division had sent most of their forces to this line of defense, they were still defeated.
Li Hu's hundreds of tanks broke through, then divided, surrounded, strangled, continued to charge, divided, strangled...
……
At the headquarters of the Guandong Army.
Commander-in-chief Kenyoshi had received an emergency telegram from the 8th division.
According to the telegram, their 8th division had received reinforcements from another 108th regiment. It was a regiment with about 300 tanks.
The enemy had used a new tactic of combining tanks with infantry, forcing them to be unable to raise their heads. By the time they sent this message, their 8th division had already suffered heavy losses and had to retreat for their lives...
Kudo Ichiro didn't even bother to plead with General Tomoda Kenyoshi.
At this point, could it be that he still wanted to persist?
Waiting for death!
"Nani? A brigade with hundreds of tanks?" General Kenyoshi's eyelids twitched when he saw the telegram. He knew very well how many a few hundred cars were. This was an exaggeration to a terrifying extent.
Where did the Chinese army get so many tanks?
Who sold it to them?
"Baka, continue to contact the 8th division and ask them about the situation, whether they can escape, and the enemy's movements! Where is the 79th Brigade?!" General Chida Kenyoshi said in a deep voice. He had thought that the 10,000 soldiers of the 8th division and the 79th Brigade would be able to take down Jin City.
But who would have thought that on the second day of the battle, the 8th division would suffer heavy losses and retreat? Wasn't this change too fast?
Most importantly, the enemy looked terrifyingly powerful!
After all, the 8th division had over 10,000 soldiers. Even if they had 10,000 pigs, they wouldn't be defeated in less than half a day, right?
"Ha Yi ~"
……
8th division, temporary command center.
"Regiment Commander, our second line of defense has already been breached in two places! We've suffered heavy losses. Requesting tactical guidance.”Utada was covered in blood. The current casualty rate of his infantry regiment had already exceeded 70%!
He had almost lost his combat strength.
"So fast? Looks like we have to retreat! Send out two infantry brigades to stop the enemy. Everyone else, retreat towards the mountains in the north. Abandon all cannons and heavy objects.”Kudo Ichiro said with an ugly expression.
To be honest, he was unwilling to make this decision.
He would rather die standing and run on his knees.
However, he couldn't just watch as the remaining batch of soldiers were lost to the tanks.
As the old Chinese saying went, as long as there was life, there was hope. He felt that he had to survive!
