Regiment commander, there is bad news, the Japanese army dispatched tank troops, and the 696th regiment was a little unable to hold on. ”

Leng Jie, who was trying to find a way to conquer the wing headquarters of the 1st Wing of the Japanese Wave Detachment, saw Daniel Zhang running in a hurry.

"Tank troops? How many Japanese troops were dispatched? What are the models? Leng Jie asked.

"There are more than a dozen of them, a few of them are the kind of Peas tanks you said, and the rest are armored vehicles." Daniel Zhang explained.

"What about the Japanese infantry?"

"Just three or four hundred, not many!"

"What are you afraid of? It's just a dozen, and it's natural if it's in open terrain, but what are you afraid of in this kind of mountainous terrain?

Suspend the attack on the encirclement of the Japanese army, immediately organize two battalions of troops, bring two 92 infantry guns and incendiary bombs, and go to destroy those devil tanks.

Commander Chen, the command here is handed over to you for the time being. Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, take the first and second battalions with me, and I will teach you how to fight devils' tanks. ”

After explaining the situation on the battlefield, Leng Jie and Wang Yanqing took two battalions of soldiers to reinforce the 696th Regiment.

Because the 696th Regiment is a new force and the equipment is also good, Leng Jie let it take on the task of blocking the Japanese reinforcements, and the 54th Brigade is responsible for encircling and annihilating the Japanese troops in the encirclement.

For this order, Wang Lihuan, the commander of the 696th regiment, did not object.

When Leng Jie and his troops arrived, the two battalions of the 696th Regiment were in a bitter battle.

There were not many Japanese troops in front of them, just two infantry squadrons and a tank squadron, but because of the lack of anti-tank weapons, they were helpless against the Japanese tanks.

"Daniel Zhang, take your battalion to the flank, bring those two 92 infantry guns, and attack the Japanese from the flank."

Through the telescope, after Leng Jie saw the situation on the battlefield clearly, Leng Jie immediately gave an order to Daniel Zhang next to him.

"Yes, Captain!"

The losses of the first battalion were not small, and there were only about 300 people who could fight, and the entire 54 Brigade was like this, which was basically reduced by nearly half, but it was still holding on.

After Daniel Zhang took the first battalion to the flank of the Japanese army, Leng Jie rushed to the battlefield with the second battalion.

At this time, the 696th Regiment was holding on to a village called Kejiatang, which was a small village located in the valley, and the people in the village had already fled if they could escape, so there were no ordinary people at this time, and the soldiers of the 696th Regiment were holding on to the topography of the village.

But this was just an ordinary village, there were no strong fortifications, and in the face of the Japanese tank troops, those improvised fortifications could not stop the Japanese artillery fire at all.

"Captain Wang, how is it?"

Taking advantage of the gap between the Japanese attack, Leng Jie entered the village with the troops of the 108th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment and came to the regimental headquarters of the 696th Regiment.

"Brigade Commander Leng, the contemptible people are a little embarrassed, and they failed to stop the Japanese offensive." Wang Lihuan blamed himself.

"The strength of the Japanese army is not weak, and there are tanks, and the 696th Regiment is a little difficult to fight." Leng Jie didn't mean to blame.

"Brigade Commander Leng, the geographical location of Kejiatang is very important, it is only 500 meters away from the encirclement of the Japanese army, if we can't hold here, the situation is critical."

It is precisely because the Japanese attack speed is too fast that if this Japanese army really rescues the Japanese army in the encirclement, it will be troublesome.

And this is also the reason why Wang Lihuan blames himself.

"Then eat this Japanese army first!" Leng Jie said in a deep voice.

"Eat this Japanese army?" Wang Lihuan was surprised, "Brigadier Leng, is there something wrong?" The Japanese army was not weak. ”

"The combined strength of the Japanese army is only 500 people, and we have four battalions and more than 1,000 people, which is more than the Japanese army.

As long as these devils' tanks are eliminated, it is not impossible to eat this Japanese army. Leng Jie said.

"But with those devil tanks, we can't solve it, we don't have effective anti-tank weapons!" Wang Lihuan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, outside the village, a Japanese armored vehicle exploded, emitting billowing black smoke and remained motionless.

"This is an anti-tank gun?" Wang Lihuan was surprised.

"No, the devil's 92 infantry cannon is just a flat shot at close range, and this kind of terrain is suitable for concealment, otherwise it will be difficult to penetrate the Japanese tank." Leng Jie shook his head, "If you want to destroy these devil tanks and armored vehicles, you still have to put the Japanese army in the villages and woods." ”

"Why? Wouldn't our position be dangerous by putting the Japanese troops into their positions? Wang Lihuan didn't understand.

"These tanks can only be destroyed if they are put into the fight." Leng Jie said.

Then Leng Jie talked about the method of blowing up Japanese tank armored vehicles with incendiary bottles and grenades and explosives packs, which is undoubtedly the best in the absence of long-range anti-tank weapons, but the casualties may be large.

"When the time comes, it will be necessary for Commander Wang to select a few death squads, and when the time comes, they will rush to the devil tank, I wonder if Commander Wang can do it?" Leng Jie said.

Before Wang Lihuan finished speaking, Wang Yanqing spoke, "Brigade commander, if the Northeast Army is instigated, the death squad will be all sent out by our 108th Regiment, and we are not like some troops who flee without a fight." ”

Regarding Wang Yanqing's words, Leng Jie did not interrupt or reprimand, he just wanted to provoke the general. It is impossible for him to let his troops do the most dangerous thing, and the Northeast Army knows to watch.

Moreover, the entire Central Army looked down on the Northeast Army a little, although he would not deliberately exclude it, but he would not win it over.

The escape of the 918 incident without a fight was a disgrace to the Northeast Army.

He just wanted to use Wang Yanqing's words to stimulate the Northeast Army, which was also discussed before.

Sure enough, after listening to what Wang Yanqing said, Wang Lihuan's face was a little ugly, "In front of fighting devils, our Northeast Army is not a bad seed, isn't it a death squad?" It's up to us all. ”

Of course, it is impossible to let the 696 regiment go all, after all, the experience is not as rich as the 108 regiment.

The advantage of this call just now is that in order not to let the Central Army keep saying that they are afraid of death, in the next battle, the officers and men of the Northeast Army of the 696th Regiment are like having taken medicine, and they are fiercely fighting with the Japanese army.

The Japanese did not pay attention at first, and although Chinese troops appeared on the flank, they also attacked the village on the front.

Thinking of the proximity of the village to the 1st Wing, the Japanese side was also excited.

However, it was not long after the attack on the village that the Japanese realized that something was wrong, because they did not capture the village for an hour after entering the village, but instead suffered a lot of losses, losing 4 tanks and 6 armored vehicles to the tank unit alone.

Although they sensed that something was wrong, it was difficult to evacuate the battlefield, because their rear roads were also cut off by the Chinese army.

In just half a day, the Japanese reinforcements were in a dilemma.

Thinking of a possible situation, this Japanese army asked the detachment headquarters for help.

Needless to say, Habata Shigeichi, who received the telegram for help, was furious, and at this time he had no troops to send, so he could only ask the aviation to find a way to reinforce this force.
