Chapter 17 The Battle of Anxian County

"And tanks? Hurry up and call Yun Tianming, Yu Hei and Zero Two to wait for me at the city gate! Chu Jian said to the guards.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Jian hurried to the city gate.

In about three or four minutes, Yun Tianming, Zero Two, and Yu Hei arrived one after another, and all the defenders were assembled one after another.

"The current situation is not optimistic, the first brigade of the 121st National Division is now only ten miles away from us, about 7,000 people, and there is even a regiment with an all-German configuration, and there is a tank platoon with several tanks." Chu Jian glanced at the more than 3,000 guards and said loudly.

"Now, our situation is not optimistic, are you afraid?" Chu Jian asked.

"Don't be afraid!"

The defenders roared in unison, and the fighting spirit was unprecedentedly high!

"Okay, now the whole army is dispatched, Yun Tianming will lead a company of soldiers to stay in Anxian, and the rest will take all the weapons and ammunition and set off with me!" Chu Jian shouted.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Jian looked at Yun Tianming and said, "Anxian will be handed over to you." ”

"Well, don't worry, Commander." Yun Tianming nodded.

Then Chu Jian led the defenders to quickly rush towards Mashanling, not far from Anxian County, to establish a defensive line over there!

"Brothers, let's not embarrass the commander of our artillery company!" Li Hui, as a soldier who has followed Chu Jian since Li Village, chose to join the artillery at the beginning, and now he has become the company commander of the first artillery company!

"Don't worry, company commander, isn't it the Iron King? This time, Dr. Yun has given us two of the latest guns! An artillery soldier said.

Speaking of the new artillery, Li Hui was excited, you must know that this kind of artillery is the rarest in the defense army.

It is said that a single shot can knock down a house (earthen house), and it is very powerful!

This artillery is named the 01C cannon, similar to the Russian ZIS-3 cannon, but it is not as powerful and small as the former, with a caliber of 76 mm and a range of about 3,000 meters!

Looking at the 01C cannon that was pulled by three horses, Li Hui's face showed confidence, no way, this weapon is too strong! It's not too cool to go down with a shot.

The army marched forward, and after about thirty minutes, finally reached Mashanling. Mashanling is a hill that resembles a small hill, which is very suitable for positional deployment.

"Order, dig trenches immediately, and the soldiers of the artillery company will give me the minimum time to build an artillery position!" Chu Jian took the telescope and observed the front, but still did not see any trace of the national army, he commanded.

"Yes!"

The guards quickly ran down to deliver orders.

In this deployment, there is no multi-line defense line, only a united front! The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Defending Army are the main fronts!

Almost an hour passed, and the defensive positions of the defenders were finally completed, and the dense trenches were as intricate as spider webs!

"Report, artillery positions, defensive positions are ready!" The guard acts as a herald at the moment.

Chu Jian was in the innermost trench, holding a 01 rifle with a 6x mirror in his hand, and after hearing the guard's words, he nodded and did not speak again.

"The enemy is coming!"

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted, and suddenly all the defenders became nervous, whether they were recruits or veterans, it was the first time to participate in such a large-scale war!

"Damn, sure enough, there are tanks, or five!" Yu Hei couldn't help but curse when he saw the tank moving forward below.

This brigade of the national army has more than 7,000 people! Five tanks are driving in the front, and there are countless national troops in the rear, densely packed, which makes people's scalps tingle to watch!

"Ordered the artillery to be put in and hit again!" Chu Jian said to the guards.

The guards received the order and quickly ran to the artillery position!

……

"Report to the brigade seat, a trench has been found ahead, and the enemy has set up a line of defense in front!" A petty officer ran up to Hu Qian and reported.

After Hu Qian heard this, he took out his telescope and looked in the direction of Mashanling, and sure enough, he found a large number of enemy troops! The trenches are intricately intertwined, densely packed like ants.

"Stop moving forward, repair in place for fifteen minutes, order the artillery battalion to quickly build a position, and send an order to call cadres at and above the regimental level to come over for a meeting!" Hu Qian's eyes were as cold as a hint of coldness.

"Yes!"

Soon, more than a dozen officers came to Hu Qian's side.

"The first regiment and the second regiment are the main attack this time, and with the chariot company, I want to take down the thief army in front of me in one go! Do you all understand that the three regiments and the artillery battalion are auxiliary and fire support? Hu Qian glanced at the officer in front of him and said.

"Understood!"

"Why did they stop?" Yu Hei asked Zero Two beside him.

Zero Two replied, "They're resting and arranging the division of labor for the meeting. ”

When Yu Hei was about to speak again, suddenly a large amount of dust came out of the tanks of the national army, and the roar of the motors was very loud, and then he saw five tanks driving towards this side with all their strength, and a large number of national troops in the rear followed closely behind the tanks.

"They're attacking! All of them, don't shoot without my orders! Chu Jian shouted loudly.

Slowly, the distance of the national army was five thousand meters, four thousand five hundred meters, three thousand meters, two thousand meters......

"Quick, mortar!" The officer of the National Army running barracks shouted.

Chu Jian saw that the enemy was building an artillery position, and hurriedly said: "The artillery company will give me the artillery first, and then destroy the tanks in front of me!" ”

"Yes!"

The guards received the order only ten seconds before they heard "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The sound of the explosion!

Fifteen 01B light guns spew tongues of fire at the same time, plus four 01C cannons! The whole earth felt trembling!

"Not good, the enemy has artillery!" The officer of the Nationalist army shouted, and then a fire burst out near him! Spectacular!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The whistling of artillery, piercing everyone's eardrums! Everyone who was shaken was shocked.

"Ahh Yes! ”

"Ahh Yes! ”

The shells fell in the camp of the national army, and many soldiers were directly blown out, and the stumps and broken arms were very terrifying!

"What about our artillery?!" An officer yelled, but unfortunately no one answered him.

"Give it to me! Tanks rush up! Hu Qian couldn't help but curse when he saw that his troops were stopped by artillery.

Hearing Hu Qian's order, the five tanks advanced at full speed, and the soldiers behind them also quickly followed, even if the artillery of the defending army kept firing, it could not stop their advance.

"Kill the tank for Lao Tzu!" Chu Jian shouted towards the artillery position.

"Yes! Aim all the guns at those five Iron Kings for me! Artillery commander Li Hui shouted.

"Report to the company commander, the enemy tank has been locked!" Said one of the artillerymen.

"Ready...... Fire! Li Hui gave the order.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The shells fell on the tank's side in an instant, and the flames exploded like brilliant fires, like blooming flowers!
