    Battelle, who was observing the firepower of the Japanese army against the four tanks that were tentatively attacking, discovered an anomaly, which could easily be ignored.

    Compared with the Japanese soldiers guarding the second floor and above, who were shooting and throwing grenades like crazy, but not a single bullet was fired from the bottom floor. This is understandable. Guarding high-rise buildings, controlling  The commanding heights are the most critical. They are condescending, making it easier to observe the situation and use firepower to strike accurately. The higher you climb, the wider the observation field of view. The attacking party is thousands of meters away, and all actions will fall into view.

    Moreover, the only entrance door was tightly blocked by layers of sandbags. The abnormal phenomenon occurred there. The moment the fire of the grenade explosion flashed, Battelle keenly saw that behind the sandbags of the bottom door, there were  A few rays of metallic dark light disappeared in a flash. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to find anything at all. But it was these few rays of dark light that shocked Bartel's heart.

    Almost instantly, he made a judgment. There were at least two Japanese machine guns hidden behind the sandbags at the bottom gate. The reason why they had not fired was because they were not needed to play their role. More importantly, this should be  As a secret trick deployed by the Japanese commander, once the attacking troops of the Japanese Army rush to the blind spot below the building, the firepower above the second floor will be ineffective.

    The gate entrance is the only way to enter the building. It is conceivable that the soldiers of the first brigade who have rushed in will be hit by machine gun fire unprepared. However, an area of ??more than ten meters wide is surrounded by high altitudes on both sides.  The wall is open and there is no barrier. No matter how many people rush in, no one can escape alive when faced with the rain of machine gun bullets.

    Battelle did not say anything and continued to observe the situation of the Japanese army. Ten minutes later, four tanks returned with bruises all over their bodies.  Of course, this is all appearance, and it is shocking enough. Battelle called the commander over and asked in a low voice: "How is the situation? Use tanks to cover the infantry assault. Is it feasible?"

    The commander took off his tank cap.  He replied solemnly: "It is very difficult to report to the commander. The grenades of the Japs are thrown from top to bottom. Even if we increase the number of tanks and adopt dense formation cover, the grenades of the Japs can't do anything to ours."  If a grenade falls on a tank, it will explode. It will cause a volley explosion, and the destructive power of the shrapnel will be even greater. If there are dozens of infantrymen, there will probably be only a few left!"

    Battelle was scratching his head a little. Tanks were of little use in covering infantry assaults. But there was a stupid way. The assaulting infantrymen could sit in the tanks.  The key is to be able to transport a few people at a time after reaching the blind spot of the Japanese army's shooting, and then leaving the tank's armor protection.  The infantry is also in danger. With fewer troops going up, the problem cannot be solved and more troops are carried at one time.  Obviously unrealistic.

    There is also an armored vehicle company, but.  Under the intensive grenade attacks of the Japanese army, the armor thickness of armored vehicles was far inferior to that of tanks. The thin armor could withstand dozens of light and heavy machine gun bullets. There was no big problem. Battelle did not dare to take the risk as to whether it could withstand continuous grenade attacks.  , there are more than a squad of soldiers in an armored vehicle. If they are hit by several grenades in a row and the armored vehicle explodes, the consequences will be extremely tragic.

    Liu Hongzhang walked around the scarred tank and took a breath of air. Just now, Battelle had told him the actual situation, including the entrance to the ground floor and the hidden Japanese machine gun position. He was secretly glad that there was a tank.  It was very difficult to cover, but I was not crazy just now and ordered the troops to attack. Otherwise, the open ground in front of the building would not be covered with the corpses of the soldiers!

    Liu Hongzhang, Battelle and Qi Hanzhi were all at a loss when they got together. They watched the tanks of the Japanese Army retreat and the Japanese soldiers in the building also stopped shooting. The battlefield became calm again, with only the thick smell of gunpowder smoke.  Choking throat, from the beginning of the tentative attack to the withdrawal, in just ten minutes, the four tanks were hit by at least hundreds of grenades. The grass-green paint on the outside of the tanks was scratched by shrapnel like a tattered screen.  net.

    This building, defended by hundreds of Japanese troops, had blocked two battalions of the First Brigade for several hours. Liu Hongzhang was so angry that if it weren't for Battelle and Qi Hanzhi, the two chief officers of the foreign units were here.  , Liu Hongzhang promised to curse loudly, which was also a way for him to relieve stress.

    Barter frowned, lying behind the cover, and continued to observe the building, which looked like a ferocious beast in the night. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he turned around and asked Qi Hanzhi, "Chief of Staff Qi, all the equipment of the special operations team is here."  How long will it take to move through this open area at the fastest speed and reach the blind spot where the Japanese army is shooting? "

    Qi Hanzhi visually measured the distance. From the current hiding place of the troops to the door of the building, it was about four hundred meters away. According to the training standards of special forces members, it would not exceed three minutes. His mind?, also suddenly moved, and replied accurately: "Commander Battle, any special operations team member can pass through the open space in no more than three minutes!"

    Then, he asked: "Do you have any new tactical arrangements that need to utilize the physical fitness of the special operations team members?"

    Battelle smiled approvingly, nodded, and said: "As expected of the chief of staff of the special operations detachment, he immediately saw my intention." Liu Hongzhang looked at the mysterious two people and asked in confusion: "You two  What kind of riddle are you talking about? Please tell me and it will enlighten me, Old Liu!"

    Battle's tactics were very creative. He first used tanks to cover a group of special operations personnel, and slowly advanced beyond the range of the Japanese grenades. At this time, he should have advanced about 200 meters. Then, the 1st Brigade Guard Battalion and  All the weapons of the three battalions of the regiment opened fire at the same time, blocking every window with fierce and intensive firepower. As long as the Japanese soldiers were beaten for two minutes, they could not fight back or throw grenades. The special operations team members would charge and reach the Japanese army.  Firepower shoots into blind spots.

    Battelle specifically told Qi Hanzhi that the tanks would never be allowed to rush in before the Japanese firepower hidden in the gate on the ground floor had been eliminated. In fact, the biggest advantage of this method was that it would shorten the distance between the soldiers who were exposed to the Japanese firepower.  After more than half a day, with the remaining 200 meters away, not to mention well-trained special forces members, even the infantry of the first brigade can rush into the building within two minutes.

    After hearing this, Liu Hongzhang slapped his thigh and shouted with joy: "Yeah, that's a good idea. I, Old Liu, am convinced. After fighting for so many years, I still don't have a clear head. I think it's better not to let the special operations detachment go."  My soldiers took risks, they are the division commander¡¯s treasure, how are my soldiers doing?¡±

    Battle refused without hesitation, "Commander Liu, the first assault must be carried out by special forces members. I need their technical, tactical and physical abilities, because it also involves eliminating hidden Japanese firepower points and seizing the bottom foothold."  Question, do your soldiers have the training intensity of a special operations detachment?¡±

    Liu Hongzhang was speechless. Do you even need to ask? There are more than one million troops in the Army Division, and they only selected more than 2,000 special forces members after all the efforts. In terms of the crazy intensity of training, there are probably only the guards of Captain Huangshan Huhuang.  The brigade can be compared to that. Although our first brigade is the number one main brigade, compared with the special operations detachment, it is not even a bit worse!

    The plan was finalized. Ten tanks would be dispatched at once. Each tank would only cover five special forces members. Qi Hanzhi would personally lead the team. The task was to gain a foothold on the first floor of the building. As long as they entered, everything would be fine.  Office, the troops of the first brigade were responsible for fire cover.

    After Battle finished the arrangement, he walked towards the first tank. The major commander of the tank battalion immediately understood the commander's intention and hurriedly dissuaded him: "Commander, as a subordinate, I can't watch you take risks. This is not your command."  Location, please consider your own safety!¡±

    Battelle smiled gently and said: "Is there anyone in our armored force who is more familiar with this big guy than me? Besides, the Japanese grenades can't damage our tanks. Don't worry!"

    Another attack began. Ten tanks formed a triangular formation. The tank driven by Battelle rushed at the front, which was the arrow position of the triangle. The attack was immediately noticed by the Japanese. In the six-story building, behind every window  , all spitting out tongues of fire, the intensive bullets of the Japanese army hit the armor of the tanks with a "dinging" sound, and sparks jumped randomly.

    Qi Hanzhi, who was following the tank, heard the hairs all over his body stand up. He muttered to himself, "Damn, that little devil is crazy enough. In just a few minutes, there were almost thousands of bullets flying over his head.  This big iron guy is covering up, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll be a pile of minced meat now!¡±

    After advancing to the maximum range where Japanese soldiers could throw grenades, Battelle sternly ordered the ammunition hand, "Two rounds of armor-piercing rounds, load them immediately," and then shouted into the intercom: "Fire!"

    Upon hearing the signal from Battelle, Liu Hongzhang turned around and shouted: "Fire!" On the position of the first brigade, gunfire like a sudden burst out. Hundreds of rifles and dozens of light and heavy machine guns poured bullets.  The special shooters followed the fire from the muzzle of the Japanese soldiers when they fired, and fired accurately at every target. This kind of lethality was far more powerful than the dense rain of bullets.

    Countless bullets hit the outer wall of the building. The cement on the wall fell off piece by piece, and smoke and dust were everywhere, which fascinated the sight of the Japanese soldiers. The all-round fire blockade achieved the best effect. The Japanese soldiers fired wildly with their guns.  The sound suddenly went out.

    Battle suddenly accelerated the tank to its maximum speed. At the same time, the fire control radar locked the target. As it moved, the tank barrel was pressed to the lowest depression angle. This series of actions were all within a distance of less than 200 meters.  Completed.
