As the 20th division of the horse division, even if they were surrounded, it wouldn't be so easy to take them down.
After knowing that there was no hope of breaking through, the Japanese army fought back crazily.
It was a life-for-life battle.
Two M4 Sherman tanks from a platoon of the 6th regiment led a platoon of infantry to attack the Japanese position on a small hill.
When the Japanese soldiers on the hill discovered the incoming tanks.
In an instant, bullets rained down on the camp.
The bullets collided with the tank armor, making a dense clanging sound.
A Type 92 heavy machine gun and a crooked machine gun fired at the same time.
The two M4 Sherman tanks stopped in unison.
After the 76mm tank cannon aimed at the target, it fired a shot.
"Boom... Boom!"
With two explosions, the Japanese's machine guns were destroyed.
When the Japanese soldiers saw this scene, they felt despair and went crazy.
"For His Majesty the Emperor, please board!"
A Japanese officer took the lead and jumped out of the position.
Before he could land, a series of machine gun bullets hit him, causing him to fall back into the formation.
"Board!"
Then, the Japanese soldiers jumped out of the formation and rushed over with their rifles.
"This group of Japanese is really f * cking crazy. Beat them up!"
The infantrymen who were covering the tanks stretched out their bodies and started shooting wildly.
The tank machine guns were not idle either. They formed a crossfire and fired at the Japanese soldiers.
The hundreds of Japanese were killed in a few minutes.
After taking down one Japanese, the tank team moved on to the next target.
Similar scenes occurred everywhere on Battle Tower Mountain.
As long as the Japanese scattered all over the place showed their faces, they would be surrounded by the new division and the second division.
As the two divisions gradually nibbled away at the enemy, the casualties of the two exploration teams also rose sharply.
Major General Shichida Ichiro led the cavalry out of Tashan.
After being targeted by the artillery for a few rounds, the losses were not small.
The entire army barely numbered a thousand.
"Major General, we have discovered a large number of Chinese tanks behind us. They are less than three kilometers away from us.”
Hearing this, Shichiro Ichiro's expression changed drastically. He glanced at Qingshan, who was not far away, and shouted,""Mount Qingshan, stop them here.”
After the bombardment, the cavalry regiment had turned into an infantry regiment, and there were only a few dozen horses left.
They could not outrun tanks and armored vehicles at all.
Although Green Mountain wasn't high or dangerous, at least they had their own base.
He had received a call from the Kwantung Army headquarters.
Reinforcements from two divisions are already on the way.
However, one of the divisions had encountered some mishaps and might arrive a little late.
As long as they persisted until the reinforcements arrived, they would be saved.
This troop was obviously going for Jin Zhou, which was defended by only one regiment.
No matter what, he had to stop the other party here. Jin Province could not be lost.
However, their speed was still a little slow.
The armored reconnaissance battalion of the Second Mecha Division caught up with them.
After the 24 M4 Sherman tanks caught up to them, they fired a barrage of machine guns and tank cannons.
The Japanese troops on the Green Mountain also noticed the movement.
Several 105mm caliber artillery shells smashed over and launched a counterattack.
In order to avoid casualties, the recon battalion commander did not continue the pursuit.
Even so, the cavalrymen left hundreds of corpses behind and fled to the Green Mountain camp in a sorry state.
The Japanese captain found this scene unbelievable.
Especially when he learned about the situation at the front line, he almost blacked out.
The Green Mountain camp was the last obstacle in front of Jin Zhou.
The deputy division commander of the 2nd Mechanic and Infantry Division immediately issued a series of orders.
"The mobile artillery unit concentrated all their firepower and bombarded the Japanese invaders 'Green Mountain position.
Contact the Falcon Brigade. We need reinforcements.”
27 Priest 105mm self-propelled howitzers, 18 M43 155mm self-propelled howitzers, and 18 T92 240mm self-propelled howitzers aimed their muzzles at the Green Mountain camp.
"Release!"
Dozens of artillery shells roared toward the Green Mountain camp.
Hearing the roar of the artillery shells, the Japanese army immediately hid in the anti-artillery hole.
However, the fortifications they built were nothing special.
Moreover, the two train cannons had come here earlier and caused great damage to the fortifications here.
Now, even the M7105 Howitzer could blow them up so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads.
Not to mention the 240mm caliber T92 Super Heavy Howitzer.
A single cannonball created a huge crater.
Unless they were building a permanent concrete and steel anti-cannon hole, and it had to be very strong.
Otherwise, they would not be able to withstand a 240 grenade at close range.
After a few rounds of bombardment, the Green Mountain camp was filled with huge craters, and the entire mountain was flattened.
After taking a look at his watch, the deputy division commander continued to order.
"4th Regiment, attack and take this high ground.”
The soldiers of the two mechanized infantry battalions charged towards the Green Mountain camp.
At the foot of the mountain, 24 M4 Sherman tanks aimed their muzzles at the top of the mountain.
As long as the Japanese army showed up, they would be attacked by their firepower.
At this time, 12 Mustang fighter jets carrying ground attack ammunition swooped down from the sky.
However, the Japanese were indeed tenacious. They had dug a tunnel behind the hillside.
When the bombardment ended, they rushed to their positions.
However, their actions were nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
After spending about an hour, the 4th Mecha Infantry Regiment took down this position with more than 200 casualties.
After taking down this position, Jin City was about ten kilometers away.
"Continue to move forward. We must take down Jin Zhou City before the Japanese reinforcements arrive.”
The Japanese would definitely send reinforcements to Jinzhou.
Zhang Xueming naturally knew about it.
However, he would not let the Japanese send reinforcements to Jin Zhou so easily.
If the Japanese wanted to reinforce Jinzhou quickly, the only way was by train.
Therefore, the two squadrons of the Air Force launched an attack with heavy bombs.
Flying along the railway line, as long as they found the Japanese army, they would immediately launch an attack.
Two squadrons of Mustangs were in the air.
When they were in the sky above Heishan County, they really found a row of Japanese soldiers.
And on this military line was the 12th division of the Japanese army.
"Brothers, we found the target.”
