The tactics of the three regiments were simple infantry artillery to fight in concert.
The 76 tanks were lined up, each followed by a varying number of soldiers.
The tanks act as shields for the infantry, while the infantry also covers the tank attack.
Encountering such a tank unit in the field is an absolute nightmare.
More than 3,000 Japanese troops simply did not have time to lay out fortifications and positions, and the overwhelming shells roared.
Moreover, the third regiment also called artillery units directly under the division.
54 105 mm howitzers, 12 M1 240 mm cannons, and 12 M1A1 155 mm howitzers also aimed their guns at the remaining Japanese units.
As for the artillery positions of the Japanese army, they have basically been completely destroyed.
Among them, the 240-mm heavy cannon made a great contribution, easily destroying the Japanese artillery positions.
As all the artillery of the new division concentrated their firepower, the location of the remnants of the Japanese army turned into a purgatory of fire in an instant.
Dense shells fell into the crowd.
Not to mention the 155mm howitzer and 240mm cannon, which could empty the Japanese within a radius of twenty or thirty meters with one shot.
For all kinds of large-caliber heavy artillery, on the contrary, it does not rely on fragmentation for killing.
Instead, it relies on the shock wave generated by the explosion of the shell.
When most enemies are shelled, the shock wave kills far more enemies than fragments.
Under such heavy shelling, more than 3,000 Japanese troops were like fallen leaves in a storm.
The dense artillery fire masked the mournful screams, wails, roars, and cries of pain of the Japanese troops.
Even if the Japanese had strong positions, such heavy shelling was enough to blow the positions to the ground.
And even more so they are still in such places without cover.
"Warriors of the Empire, it's time to serve His Majesty the Emperor, rush me..."
"Kill to give..."
The Japanese, who could no longer stand such heavy artillery fire, launched a final decisive charge against the three regiments.
One Japanese soldier followed the charging group, but one fell under shelling.
When they were within the effective fire range of the three regiments, that is, about four hundred meters.
More than 3,000 people have already been reduced by almost a thousand, and the shelling has lasted less than ten minutes.
"Fire....."
All the tanks of the tank battalion of the new 1st Division on the march opened fire one after another.
The M3 Stuart light tank is armed with a 37 mm short-barreled howitzer and three auxiliary machine guns.
The M4 Sherman tank was more powerful, armed with a 76 mm tank gun, a 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and two 7.62 mm auxiliary machine guns.
When they are full of firepower, it is when the little devil's nightmare comes.
Dense bullets poured down like a rainstorm.
Rushing ahead, the Japanese troops charging under artillery fire fell in pieces like cutting wheat.
"Stop moving forward and shoot in place. "
Just like that, the three regiments stopped in place.
The infantry following behind the tank also joined the firing lineup.
The pig assault of the Japanese army was completely to send to death.
They also understood that this was sending them to death, but they still did not hesitate.
As members of the elite army, they have long been trained to be beasts that are not afraid of death.
Looking at the completely one-sided battle situation ahead, he glanced at the direction of the 73rd Wing, which was no longer visible.
Brigade commander Kimura Hyotaro looked around at the surrounding officers and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Empire, it's time to test everyone's loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, see you at the Yasukuni Shrine." "
After speaking, he pulled out his command knife and joined the charging queue with heavy steps.
The brigade commander had already taken the lead, and the officers and guards followed silently.
However, at this time, a crooked 240mm high-explosive grenade fell.
"Boom..."
The violent explosion shook the ground.
The charging Kimura Hyotaro and the others directly became minced meat in the huge explosion.
With the collapse of the brigade headquarters, it also heralded the demise of the 38th mixed brigade.
The battle ended 17 minutes later.
As the last Japanese fell on top of the charging ranks.
This battle of annihilation against the 38th Mixed Brigade came to an end.
In this battle, Zhang Xueming did his best.
Nearly 20,000 troops were mobilized, nearly 100 heavy guns of 105 mm caliber or more, and more than 100 tanks.
It took two days to complete this war of annihilation.
When he received the report from the three regiments, Huang Huanran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This was his first battle under the command of the new division, and his performance was acceptable, at least he was able to hand over a satisfactory answer to the commander.
Zhang Xueming, who was anxiously waiting at Shanhaiguan, was overjoyed after receiving the battle report from the new First Division.
The stone in my heart also fell to the ground.
After all, they were facing the most elite Kwantung Army, and he was still a little bottomless in his heart.
However, it turns out that no matter how elite the Kwantung Army is, they are vulnerable to them with absolute firepower superiority.
According to the statistics of the later war report.
In this battle, they annihilated a total of about 5,000 Japanese troops, and their own casualties were only more than 1,000, most of which were caused by the accurate marksmanship and grenade canisters of the Japanese army.
The battle loss ratio between the two sides reached a staggering five to one.
The only pity of this battle was that not a single coalition flag was captured.
"Order the new First Division to quickly occupy Suizhong and push the front forward. "
Since the 38th mixed brigade was annihilated, it is inevitable to take Suizhong with empty troops.
He intends to use Suizhong as a springboard to counterattack Jinzhou, of course, this is only a follow-up plan.
Because there will definitely be a wave of fierce Japanese attacks next.
This time it was not a mixed brigade of the Japanese army, but the main force of the Kwantung Army.
Then Zhang Xueming called an officer.
"Send a clear code to the whole country immediately.
Let's just say that our unit has annihilated the 38th Mixed Brigade and Regiment that the Japanese army attacked, and let the people of the whole country know that there are still people fighting on the front line of resisting the Japanese invasion.
At the same time, all anti-log fighters were called upon to come to Shanhaiguan to participate in the war against aggression.
To all those who are willing to join our team, I welcome Zhang Xueming. "
This clear code call is not only a success, but also a way for him to brush up on fame and recruit talents.
In the future, after he counterattacked the Kwantung Army and captured the northeast, he would need a large number of talents to build the four northeastern provinces.
And when this clear code was sent out, it naturally caused a big wave among the major forces in the country.
