There were at least hundreds of m3 tanks that fired first, each tank with one 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and two 7.62mm machine guns. Hundreds of tanks had three or four hundred machine guns. So many machine guns were fired in a salvo, and it was like a metal storm.

Now, the three mechanized infantry regiments of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade have changed their formation. The three major mechanized infantry regiments line up to form a steel torrent of at least two or three kilometers wide, reaching the Japanese position.

At this time, the Japanese in the position were barely ready for battle and were immediately hit like a storm.

On the Japanese positions, many Japanese Japanese lie in trenches preparing to shoot were killed by the fierce shooting, and some Japanese soldiers were even beaten to death.

A large number of bullets caused the soil to splash on the Japanese positions, and the sound of the puffs was loud, especially the Japanese trenches, which were simply covered by dense rain of bullets.

A Japanese man with a crooked machine gun was about to shoot in the distance. Suddenly, his head exploded and his white brain splashed all over the ground. Obviously, the Japanese man was directly blown out by a anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Baga! Kill me!!"

A Japanese major, seeing that the Japanese army was killed, was so angry that he screamed, holding up his command knife, shouted with all his might, and ordering the Japanese on the position to fight back.

Some Japanese soldiers still started shooting with the fierce firepower of the soldiers, especially the Japanese troops in some bunkers and bunkers. These Japanese troops either fired with machine guns or carried Type 38 rifles.

The Japanese army's shooting made the chariots of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade jingle. Mars emerged. Fortunately, the Japanese army's firepower was much weaker than that of the soldiers. The chariot groups of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade were getting closer and closer to the Japanese position.

"Fire a cannon for me, knock out the Japanese bunker, and knock out the Japanese bunker."

Tang Wankun, the commander of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade, saw that the Japanese army actually fought back and fired at the soldiers' chariot groups, and immediately shouted at his wireless telephone.

Although the combat vehicles equipped by the mechanized infantry brigade are basically mainly m3 semi-tracked combat vehicles, they are still equipped with m8 and m20 combat vehicles.

The main weapon of the m8 wheeled armored vehicle is a 37mm and 57-caliber m6 tank gun. The main weapon of the m20 tank is also a 37mm. These two types of armored vehicles can sometimes even be used as tank destroyers. Now, they can be used to deal with Japanese bunkers and bunkers.

A moving m8 wheeled armored vehicle saw a Japanese bunker two or three hundred meters ahead. There was obviously a machine gun inside, shooting outside through the shooting hole.

Seeing this bunker, the gunner of the armored vehicle immediately aimed at the Japanese civil structure bunker, and after aiming, he shot it.

At a distance of 300 meters, he hit the target directly. With a loud "boom", he directly destroyed the Japanese bunker, and all the Japanese inside were killed. The Japanese were shot and the machine guns that were shooting were naturally destroyed.

Not far away, an m20 armored vehicle was not to be outdone. It aimed at a Japanese bunker, a small bunker with a cement structure. There were three or four shooting holes on the bunker, shooting at the soldiers' chariots.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The gunners of this m20 armored vehicle are of good quality. They hit the target with several shells in succession, almost blowing up the cement bunker. The Japanese inside are obviously dead.

Whether it is an m8 armored vehicle or an m20 armored vehicle, the theoretical firing rate of the 37mm gun reaches 30 rounds per minute, and the actual firing rate is close to 20 rounds per minute. In addition to being able to fire high-explosive bombs, it can also fire capped armor-piercing bombs and alloy armor-piercing bombs.

Just now, against the Japanese cement bunker, this m20 armored vehicle may have several armor-piercing bombs in succession, killing the Japanese solid cement bunker.

The soldiers had a clear division of labor. The m3 half-track armored vehicles mainly dealt with the Japanese army without any protection, while the m8 armored vehicles and m20 armored vehicles mainly dealt with the Japanese army's defense fortifications, such as destroying the Japanese army's machine gun fire points, defensive bunkers, bunkers, etc.

A few hundred meters away, the mechanized infantry brigade's tank rushed over quickly and rushed directly to the Japanese position. While shooting, they advanced towards the depth of the Japanese position.

The fierce shooting sounds and violent explosions were very dense. Hundreds of chariots directly crushed the Japanese position. The Japanese defense line, which was two or three kilometers wide, was immediately broken, and the ground was in a mess, all of them were covered with the Japanese's corpses.

A Japanese man who was shooting with a crooked machine gun saw that his shooting was almost ineffective and hitting the tank of the mechanized infantry brigade was basically no different from scratching, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Another Japanese man saw a Chinese chariot getting closer and closer, and immediately made up his mind. He held a grenade in one hand, screamed and rushed towards the m3 half-tracked chariot.

"Boom, boom."

The two consecutive explosions scared the soldiers in the car. Fortunately, the chariot was not serious. The soldiers secretly said that they were lucky, and they also began to pay attention to the Japanese. Any Japanese rushing over will be given priority.

The m3 half-tracked chariots loaded with soldiers, except for the anti-aircraft machine guns shooting horizontally and several soldiers operating the two 7.62mm machine guns, the rest of the soldiers were either carrying Garland rifles or Thomson submachine guns, and everyone joined the shooting ranks.

A soldier carrying a Garland rifle found a Japanese devil dozens of meters away on the m3 armored vehicle. The soldier aimed a little, gently pulled the trigger, and the bullet accurately hit the Japanese devil in the chest.

Another soldier was lucky enough to find a Japanese captain and found the little Japanese officer holding a command knife. The soldier was slightly excited, but he still couldn't forget to shoot at the little Japanese with his submachine gun. The little Japanese officer was immediately beaten into a honeycomb.

As a large number of chariots rushed up, the Japanese positions were full of chariots galloping, and the number of Japanese devils was decreasing sharply.

The highest commander of the Japanese army in this position, a Japanese junior officer, saw more than a thousand Japanese devils being massacred. He was so heartbroken that his heart was almost bleeding. It took only a dozen minutes to make more than a thousand people, and less than five hundred people were left.

On the entire position, only some trenches and some bunkers that have not been destroyed for the time being were resisting. However, the doomsday of these trenches arrived soon.

More than 100 tanks and 20 armored vehicles from the first tank regiment of the Armored Brigade were also here. The main guns of these m4 tanks reached 76 mm, which was even more terrifying than the 37 mm m8 and m20 armored vehicles.

As soon as these tanks rushed over, they shot the remaining cement bunkers at the Japanese side, almost one shot at a time. Soon, all the bunkers on the Japanese positions were destroyed.

The tanks of the first regiment did not stop here, and directly penetrated from here and continued northward. Everyone's mission was to reach the north of Hangzhou City and block the reinforcements of the Japanese army from Shanghai.

The tank regiment gradually faded away, and the soldiers of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade were still picking up the disabled enemies on this position. The remaining Japanese were shot and killed by the soldiers.

A Japanese Nakasaka saw that almost all his positions were lost and there were not many Japanese soldiers on the positions. So, under the cover of several Japanese soldiers, he fled in panic with two remaining Japanese officers.

However, the Japanese soldiers were discovered by the soldiers of several chariots before they ran far. Seeing that they were officers from the Japanese, the soldiers of these chariots became interested.

Several machine guns opened fire at the Japanese Nakasa's team. The dense firepower drove all the Japanese devils, including the Japanese Nakasa, into sieves.

Not far from this position, which is about a few kilometers towards Hangzhou City, there is also a larger Japanese position. If the Japanese position occupied by the soldiers of the mechanized infantry brigade just now is the first line of defense, the huge Japanese position that stretches for several kilometers is the second line of defense. When it is close to Hangzhou City, there is also the third line of defense of the Japanese army.

In order to prevent Ye Feng's troops from attacking, the 6th Division of the Little Japanese built a total of three lines of defense in the west of Hangzhou, ranging from north to south. These lines of defense were composed of trenches, bunkers, and even barbed wire.

The first line of defense is the smallest and closest to the east defense line of the independent brigade. The first line of defense is more than 1,000 people, while the second line of defense is more than 3,000 people. The third line of defense is only larger than the second line of defense.

At the forefront of the second Japanese line of defense, the Japanese army dispatched several observation posts to observe the battle on the first line of defense in front. These Japanese troops who were observing the battle situation held telescopes and separated from each other, looking at the large number of chariots appearing in front of them, and were secretly shocked.

What made the Japanese army even more frightened to see the battle situation ahead was that the first line of defense in front of them did not hold on for half an hour, and it was destroyed in front of hundreds of chariots of the China National Team and no longer existed.

These Japanese front-line observation posts immediately rushed forward, with a pale face, and ran to the second line of defense of the Japanese army, and reported to the Japanese army's highest commander, a Japanese colonel.

The first line of defense disappeared in half an hour. The Japanese colonel was shocked. While commanding the position, the Japanese army pushed out the 37mm war defense artillery from one gate, and hurriedly reported to the command of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army in the city.

A few months ago, when the Armored Brigade was still a tank regiment, it ravaged the Japanese in the west of Hangzhou. In order to prevent the reappearance of China's chariot groups, the Japanese 6th Division urgently equipped more than 30 37mm war defense artillery pieces and also equipped a chariot brigade.

The first line of defense has been lost. In order to defend the chariot group of the Central ** team to attack its second line of defense, the Japanese colonel ordered the Japanese to launch all war defense artillery and prepare to attack the Chinese chariot group.
