Chapter 852: Fierce Battle at Tiger Ridge (2)
Chief of Staff Zhang mobilized Division Commander He to withdraw from the Huling defense line in less than half an hour after the Japanese Suzuki Division launched the most ferocious armored mixed force attack on the 81st Division, and the forward defense line was broken through.
At this time, when he received the order of the supreme commander of the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater to withdraw the 81st Division from the Huling defensive line, and listened to Lei Yunfeng's analysis of the battle situation, he not only said nervously and quickly: "Division, our troops are now in a very dangerous period, and we must ...... immediately. ”
"Order Brigade Commander Qiu of the main position defense line to block the attack launched by the Japanese army with the heaviest firepower, and cover the retreat of the main force of the 81st Division to the defense line of the 17th Division of the closed door."
Division Commander He looked at Lei Yunfeng after giving the order and said, "Captain Lei, are you withdrawing from the battle with my 81st Division now, or do you have a special mission to continue?" ”
"Report to Division Commander He, I have robbed a Japanese tank, in order for the 81st Division to successfully break through the Japanese fire blockade line and evacuate safely with the cooperation of a regiment sent by the 17th Division, at this time I want to use this tank as a pioneer to cover the 81st Division to follow closely behind the tank and highlight the Japanese fire blockade line, do you think this is good?"
"Captain Lei, it is very dangerous for you to do this, if the Japanese aerial bombers lock onto your tank and carry out brutal repeated bombing, the tank you are driving will become the main target, and I can't ignore you for the 81st Division to highlight the enemy blockade line. You still have to take your people to find a way to break through, so that you can narrow down the target. ”
"What Division Commander He said is very correct, I just want to use the tank I am driving to become the target of heavy fire bombing by the Japanese bombers, so as to contain the Japanese bombers from indiscriminately bombing the 81st Division that broke through, and I ask Division Commander He to take action immediately."
After Lei Yunfeng finished speaking, he turned around and quickly ran to the defense line of the main position of Huling, which was full of war, and when he rushed to the No. 038 tank, the whole person suddenly flew into the air, landed steadily on the body of the slow-moving tank, lifted the tower and quickly drilled into the tank cabin.
"Boss, you're back, what are we going to do next?" Su Xiaoyan, who was driving the tank and moving slowly, turned around and asked.
Fang Shichao, who manipulated the artillery to fire shells that landed on the enemy group and exploded, asked with a grim smile: "Boss, this tank is much more powerful than the earth armored car I modified, now are we going to rush into the enemy group and blossom in the middle?" ”
"Our task is not to destroy the enemy, now Ah Chao is driving a tank to fight a bloody way for me on the left flank of the Japanese attacking force, covering the 81st Division to break through in the direction of Dongjiapu.
Ah Yan's main task was to manipulate the machine guns on the tank, strafe the Japanese troops rushing towards our tank with maximum firepower, clear the obstacles for the 81st Division, which was breaking through immediately behind, and start the operation. ”
After Lei Yunfeng gave the order, he manipulated the artillery to aim at the besieging tank, as long as he locked on the target and determined the most effective range, he immediately and decisively launched an armor-piercing projectile.
The commander of the 81st Division, He Division, ordered the main force, under the cover of the fire of the two regiments led by Brigade Commander Qiu, to launch a frantic breakthrough to the left side of the Japanese fire blockade line, following the No. 038 tank.
At this time, he was ordered to hide near Dongjiabao to come to meet the 81st Regiment of the 17th Division and the 97th Regiment of the 17th Division, and Regiment Commander Li received an order from Lei Yunfeng to lead the troops to rush behind the Japanese flank as quickly as possible, and suddenly launched the most fierce attack.
The flank of the Japanese army was suddenly attacked by the enemy on the flank, and the formation was suddenly chaotic, especially under the brutal destruction of the No. 038 tank, which was crushed all the way, and the Japanese troops who collided were killed and wounded countless times, and they wailed constantly.
At this time, the commander of the Japanese air bomber formation received a report from the ground, requesting the fighters to destroy the No. 038 tank that had broken through and launched a large number of bombs against the main force of the 81st Division that was trying to break through.
Under the command of the commander of the air fighters, 12 Japanese bombers suddenly dived to the ground of the defense line of the main position of Huling, and when they locked on the target and prepared to bomb the No. 038 tank, they found that a large number of people appeared around the tank.
Lei Yunfeng had long expected such a result, but he didn't make it clear to Senior Commander He and the others.
Because he didn't know whether he could attract a large number of Japanese troops to besiege the No. 038 tank by rushing to the enemy group through the looted tank, and once the Japanese army appeared holding the No. 038 tank that was bound to destroy the enemy's snatched tank, he would definitely concentrate his forces and tanks to encircle and kill him.
Now it seems that it not only succeeded in attracting Japanese bombers in the enemy's air, but also attracted a large number of Japanese troops on the ground to pounce on the No. 038 tank, thus providing a cover for the 81st Division to highlight the Japanese fire blockade line.
The commander of the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army's ground vanguard, Sekiyama Hinaka Daisa, found that the Imperial Army fighters in the air swooped over the looted No. 038 tank, and did not drop bombs to destroy it, but dived to find the target and suddenly pulled up and rushed into the sky.
He brandished his command knife and roared into the sky: "Bastard, quickly bomb and bomb tank No. 038, if you can't destroy this tank that was stolen by the Chinese troops, it will be the greatest shame of the Imperial Japanese Army." ”
Chief of Staff Kameda of the 77th Wing held a telescope to quickly see the No. 038 tank that had frantically rushed into the Japanese troops, rampage through the ranks and non-stop firing shells to bombard the Imperial Japanese troops.
And the Imperial Army's troops, who tried to destroy Tank 038, were like crazy wolf packs, encircling Tank 038 like a tiger from different directions, but this encirclement paid a heavy price.
Instead of destroying tank No. 038, it suffered a large number of casualties.
The cunning Chief of Staff Kameda grabbed Captain Sekiyama Hinaka, who was brandishing a command knife and roaring at the Japanese fighters in the air, and shouted: "Sekiyama Daisa, our Imperial Japanese Army was ordered to destroy the No. 038 tank on the ground, just like a flock of lambs chasing after it, not only could not help the steel tank, but caused huge casualties.
What is even more distressing is that the aerial bombers found that our Imperial Japanese Army on the ground surrounded the No. 038 tank in groups, and the commander of the group swooped down to lock on to the target for fear of accidentally injuring his own people by dropping bombs, so he had to pull up and rush into the sky as a last resort in order to avoid accidentally injuring the soldiers of the Imperial Army of our country by dropping a large number of bombs. ”
Captain Sekiyama Hinaka immediately calmed down when he heard Chief of Staff Kameda shouting like this, and ordered the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army who had been ordered to destroy Tank No. 038 to quickly retreat, and asked the Japanese fighters and ground tank artillery in the air to destroy the abominable Tank No. 038 with the most ferocious bombardment and pouring a large amount of artillery fire.
Fang Shichao, who was driving the tank to break through in the direction of Dongjiabao, suddenly found that the Japanese troops surrounding the tank were retreating quickly, and couldn't help laughing: "Boss, our tank rushes into the enemy group like a tiger into a wolf pack, and this group of mongrels that collide with it flees in all directions. ”
"Ah Chao, I believe you are saying this, tell me what you have discovered, it can't be that the little devil who intends to encircle and destroy the No. 038 tank is retreating quickly, right? Do you think so? ”
"Oh boss, you guessed it right, if the little devil didn't run away quickly, I would drive the tank to run over it unscrupulously, and it would definitely make this group of mongrels die and even the ghosts would be difficult to ......."
"Oh no, we're in danger right now." Lei Yunfeng suddenly shouted nervously.
