50th Tank Battle (2)

The command vehicle that swims forward is at the back of the line to command the whole situation.

These three companies rushed towards the enemy's chariot wing.

The Japanese tanks ran fast, and the Chinese tank battalions ran even faster, at a speed of 58 kilometers per hour, which was nearly a third faster than the 40 kilometers per hour of the Japanese tanks.

Swimming to the first company of the battalion tank battalion, the speed of the impact was quite fast, and as soon as it was inserted, it was inserted into the ranks of the Takeichiro chariot wing.

A row of companies rushed to the front, and the platoon leader Zhang Yuping was the sharp knife of a row of wedge-shaped teams. The distance of each tank is 50 meters, so 5 tanks have a hole of almost 200 meters.

Zhang Yuping, a platoon commander, personally operated a 12.7 mm machine gun, and he believed that it was more affordable to operate a full machine gun than a 37 mm gun. The artillery had to be shot one at a time, and the tanks were fast, and when they fired the artillery, they were quite inaccurate. This is not the case with heavy machine guns, under the guidance of tracer bullets, he only needs to master the plane angle and elevation angle of the machine gun.

......Dozens of 12.7 mm bullets were fired, and when firing, he constantly observed the light emitted by the tracer bullets to control the angle of the shot, and five or six bullets hit a bean chariot 200 meters away, and the bullets mercilessly penetrated the steel plate and went in.

The Japanese bean chariot shook a few times, apparently wounded. The commander of the tank seemed to want to turn the turret of the tank to the back, and then fired at Zhang Yuping. After some effort, the turret of the tank was finally pulled to the back, and the 7.7mm machine gun was also turned to the back, and he fired a series of bullets at Zhang Yuping's tank.

Five or six bullets also hit Zhang Yuping's chariot, and for a while sparks froze, but the power of the bullets was too weak to penetrate the 25-mm steel plate at all.

Zhang Yuping didn't give him another chance, and a shuttle of bullets hit the turret of this tank at once. The devil commander didn't even snort, but the 12.7 mm bullet was mercilessly shot through the chest, and he collapsed in the tank in an instant.

The driver was also injured, his brain was foggy for a while, and then the engine hummed for a while, and the tank was lying there motionless.

The entire convoy continued to move forward, and Zhang Yuping aimed at a medium tank in front of him. In this Japanese tank, the turret is mechanically rotated, so the rotation is quite flexible. The devil fired a cannonball, and the shell slashed through the roof of Zhang Yuping's tank, and then fell into the distance.

Zhang Yuping did not give him another chance, two heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the thick bullets of the 12.7 mm heavy machine guns mercilessly penetrated the 12 mm steel plates of the Japanese combat vehicles, and they all hit the turret. The bullets drilled more points, just like a hornet's nest, forming pieces of sieve holes.

The devil's cannon never went off again.

Zhang Yuping's tank quickly approached the tank, and the two machine guns swept at the tank for a while, drilling dozens of holes in it at once, and knocking the tank car down.

Zhang Yuping's platoon was annihilating the enemy in front, while the second platoon, which was also separated by nearly 50 meters from each tank, swept across the chariots on the left, and the third platoon was also shooting at the chariots on the right.

The advantage of this is that each tank has a firing angle of almost 180 degrees, which can hit the enemy mercilessly.

In Takeichiro's wing, only the tanks that are close to our tanks can engage us, and those in the distance, blocked by their own tanks, can't see the enemy's situation clearly, and can only blindly fight blindly.

In the Japanese tanks, some drivers were killed, and the tanks without control were still running aimlessly. Some of the captains were killed, and their bodies were bumped into each other in the car, and they soon became bloody people.

During the movement of both sides, although the 37 mm guns could penetrate the 40 mm armor without mercy, the accuracy was greatly limited. On the M2 tank, the 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet can shoot through the thin armor of the Japanese army without mercy.

Perhaps, Takeichiro of the Japanese tank wing made a mistake at the beginning. In the case of inferior mobility and firepower to Chinese tanks, retreating or fleeing is a dead end. They may only have a chance to survive in close combat with Chinese tanks by taking advantage of their own tanks and engaging in close combat.

Several tanks of the Japanese tank wing were annihilated one by one by the tank battalion swimming forward. At this time, Takeichiro really wanted to cry without tears. If you knew this, why bother in the first place! I knew that my tank couldn't outrun the Chinese tanks, so why retreat, retreating was a dead end.

Wu Yilang had no choice but to revise the order again: "Attention all the chariots, turn around, fight to the death with the Chinese chariots, and use our 37mm guns to attack the Chinese chariots." ”

The Japanese troops obeyed the order very resolutely, immediately stopped the retreat, and all turned back, lined up in a row, and launched a bombardment of the Chinese tanks. Some Japanese tanks have already mixed up with Chinese tanks, and they are actively attacking Chinese tanks.

At this time, there were still more than 20 tanks left in the tank wing of the Japanese army, and the tank battalion swimming forward was still an establishment of 50 vehicles, and there was not one missing. The tank battalion that swam forward went from being inferior to evenly matched to having an advantage, all by virtue of proper tactics and heroic fighting.

Han Xing saw it in the chariot, and the Japanese chariot wing did not retreat and began to return fire on the spot. He then ordered: "Swim and shoot, and hit the enemy as best you can." ”

Each tank had one 37 mm gun and two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, all of which were firing at all. From time to time, 37-mm shells emitted a burst of fire around the enemy tank vehicles, and heavy machine guns fired strings of solitary bullet belts at the enemy tank squadrons.

Several more Japanese tanks were hit, lying there motionless. In the tank battalion that swam forward, one tank was also shot, and then it caught fire and burned, and only 2 of the 5 crew members climbed out, and the rest died heroically.

Seeing that the tank battalion that swam to the battalion was about to completely annihilate Takeichiro's chariot wing, just when Takeichiro's chariot wing was very dangerous, the infantry wing led by Ganji Jutaro arrived.

When Kanji Jutaro saw the situation on the battlefield, he was also greatly surprised. It turned out that he thought that with Takeichiro's chariot wing, he would embarrass the Chinese army and give his 33rd Division a big face. It is good to encircle and annihilate the 15th Group Army in the next step and boost morale. However, unexpectedly, Wu Ichiro still had more than a dozen chariots left, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

Now he can't care about anything, he wants to save this chariot wing, there are not many trump cards in his hand, and he can't lose him anymore.

Gansu Shigeichiro yelled: "In the infantry wing, we are using bayonets and grenades to defeat this Chinese tank force." ”

A squadron of Japanese troops immediately pounced, with their bayonets and grenades in hand, vowing to destroy the Chinese tank force.

The heavy machine guns on the M2 tank roared vigorously, and the Japanese troops in front fell, and the ones behind continued to rush upward. Fish over a thousand nets, nets and big fish, at last a little devil succeeded, rushed to the tank, climbed into the tank at once, and lifted the lid on the roof of the tank with his hands, but without lifting, he stuffed two melon grenades into the tracks.

With a bang, the track was blown off, and the little devil was also killed by the bullet next to him.

The crew of this M2 tank had no choice but to quickly climb down and squeeze into another tank.

Another devil got into my tank group and blew up one of our tanks with a grenade.

The temporary gain of the Japanese infantry aroused the spirit of the devils behind, and they screamed and rushed at our tanks in waves.

Han Xing scolded in the command car: "It's really barefoot people who are not afraid to wear shoes, they are open-minded, we can't be open-minded." Retreat, far away, with artillery hitting. ”

The tank battalion swimming forward was retreating behind, and at the same time, the artillery was constantly firing. Several more Japanese tanks were hit by me, and smoke rose and lay on the ground without moving.

In order not to let the little devil get any advantage, Han Xing ordered: "Fire at my 2 abandoned tanks and blow them up." ”

More than a dozen shells hit the abandoned tank, causing the explosion of shells inside the car, and the tank car was instantly blown to pieces.

The remaining tanks of the little devils did not benefit much, and our tanks poured shells and heavy machine gun bullets on them for a while, destroying two more tanks. There are also devils who attacked this squadron swimming in front of the tank battalion, and there is no good fruit to eat, most of them have become cannon fodder, a small part of them have been killed by heavy machine gun bullets, and few are alive.

Just when the Southern Expeditionary Army was slaughtering the chariot wing of the 33rd Division, the 79th Army and the 20th Army of the National Army quietly came to the back of the 33rd Division.

With the interception of the Southern Expeditionary Army in front, the encirclement of the 79th Army and the 20th Army in the back, and the mountains and mountains next to it, the life of the 33rd Division was really difficult.

Just when the 33rd Division suffered bad luck, another complicated situation appeared, and just behind the Southern Expeditionary Army, the shadow of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army appeared. This is the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, and when I heard that the 33rd Division was having a hard time, I came to catch him.

The headquarters quickly informed Han Xing, who was still fighting on the front line, of this bad news.

Han Xing heard this situation in the command car of You Qianqian and immediately contacted Liu Zhiyuan.

"Chief of Staff, the 33rd Division in front and the 13th Division in the back, it seems that the Japanese army wants to sandwich us at Sanlang Bridge!"

"Commander Han, what do you say!"

Han Xing said: "Chief of Staff, we can't ask them to clamp us!" The road is facing the sky, each side of the road, there will be fighters in the future, why let them clamp us and make us uncomfortable!"
