Chapter 267: The Battle of Nanchang (19) (Four Changes, Asking for Support)
After Leng Jie saw the real thing, he was convinced that his troops had indeed captured 3 devil tanks.
Of these, 1 Type 89 tank and 2 Type 94 tanks.
The reason why Leng Jie didn't know was because at the beginning, the soldiers of the 120th Regiment thought that this tank was bad and didn't take it seriously.
But Chen Taixiong, who was captured before, found that these tanks were better, although there were many bullet marks on the surface, they could actually be driven and weapons could be used.
The reason why it stopped there was because there was no fuel, so I lay on my stomach.
The Japanese used this as a fixed battery, and did not open their mouths when they finally retreated.
"I didn't expect to capture a few devil tanks, who of you will drive them?" Leng Jie looked at the Type 89 medium tank in front of him, which was obviously much larger.
This medium-sized is for the Japanese army.
The Type 89 medium tank weighed 13 tons and had a crew of 4 people. The main armament is a Type 90 57mm gun with a firing range of 5600 meters; Secondary armament is two 6.5 mm Type 91 machine guns.
The front machine gun is on the left side of the hull, and below is the access hatch; The turret machine gun is at an angle of 150 degrees (counterclockwise) to the axis of the artillery, and the commander's tower is on the right side of the turret with an anti-aircraft machine gun mount.
This weight is the same tonnage as the Soviet T-26 light tank, and it is the standard of light tanks in the world.
If Leng Jie asked this question in the 200th Division, it is estimated that the answer will be snapped, but it will be enough to choke in the 120th Regiment.
At this time, China even has a small number of cars, not many drivers, and even fewer who can drive tanks.
"Report, I'll open!"
At this time, Chen Taixiong raised his hand and said.
Chen Taixiong is the soldier of the Potian detachment captured before, a Taiwanese.
At first, Leng Jie thought that the other party would be dishonest, but now that he looks at it, he seems to be quite honest.
A few days ago, he sneaked into the Japanese army's heavy artillery unit, and if it weren't for his fluent Japanese, he might not have been able to blend in with the half-baked Japanese of Wang Guangming and others.
Since Chen Taixiong is more honest, Leng Jie has no intention of handing him over, and it may be useful to keep it in his hands.
Maybe in the future, there will be an opportunity to counterattack Taiwan in advance, and maybe this will be a good party to lead the way.
"You're going to drive?" Knowing that the other party would open, Leng Jie was a little surprised.
"I can drive, I've been to war... No, I drove a tank, but not like that. Chen Taixiong said.
"It's just one person, has anyone else driven it? As long as you know how to drive, you can do it. Leng Jie shouted.
If you can drive a tank, it's really hard to find someone, but if you can drive, you can really find two: one is from the local security regiment, who has driven a car for a large family before; The other is a baggage soldier who has learned to drive.
Find three that will be opened, and that's easy to do.
As for the problem of oil, it is easy to solve, because the Japanese army has diesel fuel in the airdrop, and it is obvious that the problem of lack of fuel in the tank group is also taken into account.
However, before the three of them drove the tank, Leng Jie tried it one by one, not to mention, it was called a crime.
He is used to driving Type 88, Type 96, and Type 99 tanks in his previous life, but he is really not used to driving devil tanks, and the space is cramped, which is very inconvenient.
For Leng Jie to be able to drive a tank, others were also shocked, and looking at the level of proficiency, it didn't look like it was the first time to drive it.
Everyone didn't ask, as if this was also expected, after all, there was nothing that their head wouldn't do.
Although the skills of those three people are not very good, in Leng Jie's opinion, as long as they can fire and shoot, they can drive slowly.
It is even more impossible to complete the coordinated operation of the infantry tank in half a day, but fortunately, Leng Jie is not very demanding, so he can just shoot behind the tank.
At eight o'clock in the evening, after dark, Leng Jie ordered the only two mountain guns to take the lead in firing at the Japanese position.
As for the shells, you can hit them with your life and finish the shells.
In addition to the two mountain guns, the remaining infantry guns and mortars also opened fire, which also blinded the Japanese army.
While the artillery was bombarded, the soldiers of the 120th Regiment had already begun to attack, but the movement was very small.
As for the three tanks, they didn't turn on the lights or anything, and there was artillery fire to cover up the sound of the engines, so the Japanese didn't notice anything wrong.
It wasn't until the artillery stopped that the Japanese noticed that something was wrong, and the secondary flares were lifted into the air.
If it weren't for the obvious Chinese soldiers, the Japanese would have thought that they were attacking their allies.
Because those three tanks are their tanks, but they don't know how to get to the Chinese army.
At this time, the soldiers of the 101st Division began to scold the fools of the chariot group, and actually gave the chariot to the Chinese army.
Needless to say, when they saw through the light of the flares that it was actually three Imperial chariots that attacked their position, the Japanese army wanted to scold.
"Yaga, you idiots!"
Just as Ishida Taro was scolding, through flares, the tanks also discovered the Japanese machine-gun positions.
The Type 89 tank gun of the Type 57 tank opened fire!
"Boom!"
A burst of light came, and a devil's heavy machine gun was directly destroyed with one shot, and the surrounding Japanese troops were killed and wounded!
"Yaga, fight back! Counterattack! ”
Taro Ishida yelled.
The battle began, the guns of both sides rang out throughout the battlefield, because it was night, the 120th regiment was not only supported by tanks, but also infantry artillery, a large number of mortars and grenadiers, for a time this offensive battle can be described as not small.
These Japanese troops also tasted the pain of tanks.
In such a field battle, again at night, the Japanese could not use air fire against tanks, nor could they use anti-tank guns, and Taro Ishida's brigade did not have anti-tank guns, not even anti-tank guns.
Ordinary bullets hit the tank, except for leaving bullet marks, it could not stop the tank's attack at all.
This is also the reason why Leng Jie insisted on fighting street battles, because in the field battlefield, unless the Chinese army is 200 divisions, other units are basically one-sided and tortured and killed when they encounter Japanese tank units.
It's a pity that the Japanese army doesn't know how to use mechanized troops, and sends tanks and armored vehicles to street battles.
Even if you don't have Molotov cocktails, it's dangerous, after all, there are cluster grenades or explosive packs that can threaten tanks.
Soon, the tank gun and the four machine guns of the three tanks also opened fire, like a moving point of fire, and the soldiers of the 120th Regiment launched an attack on the Japanese position.
Shells flew out, the Japanese fire points were cleared one by one, and a large number of Japanese troops began to fall.
In frontal positional battles, the Japanese did not suffer such a situation.
It was night, and the Chinese army was attacking with all its might, but the 120th regiment was so powerful that it overwhelmed the attack of a division from other directions.
。。。。。。
"Which troop is in that direction? The offense is so fierce? This firepower is also a bit powerful! ”
In the night, Li Tianxia saw the direction of the 120th regiment's attack, and was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask the staff officers around her.
"Back to the commander, according to the sequence of counteroffensives, the army in that direction should be the 40th Regiment of the 120th Division and the 102nd Regiment of the 305th Division."
"120 regiments? That Leng Jie's troops? Li Tianxia has still heard of Leng Jie, after all, he is also the commander of the 40th Division, and after the 40th Division was classified as the 54th Army, he still went to learn about it.
"That's him!"
"This person is interesting, a regiment's attack is so fierce!" Li Tianxia couldn't help but praise.
It's just a very ordinary compliment, but it is different in the ears of others. For example, Zhang Lingfu, for Leng Jie's junior, he is very unconvinced!
