260. Sorrow and Glory
The tree dies, and the man lives; This time, the third battalion has just changed the battlefield, and it has replicated the brilliant results of the first battle of Luodian a few months ago, and it seems that fighting a positional war and defensive war is fighting attrition, and taking human lives to fight for the Japanese army's steel shells, planes and tanks, is too uncomfortable and aggrieved.
And fighting sports warfare, in order to give full play to their advantages in night combat and close combat, just like this battle, first sneak attack, disrupt the enemy, then volley all the way, constantly attack and consume, drag down the enemy, and finally concentrate superior forces, in one fell swoop, how cool.
However, as a regular national defense force of the country, it is the responsibility to defend the territory, and it is not possible to fight the war by one's own temperament, and it must be defended where it should be defended, and it must be sacrificed when it is time to fight to the death, and when it is time to sacrifice the small self to achieve the big self, it must be sacrificed.
This is the sacrifice that the regular army of the three dogs, and even when it comes to the national elite troops in the future, or even one of the five major attack armies, it is also their sorrow, but also their glory.
……
Fortunately, the sneak attack was a great success, and the regimental headquarters did not blame it, although the old nonsense said that it was the Japanese army who came to attack at night, and the third battalion fought back and won the victory.
The regimental headquarters didn't come to fight devils on the first day, can't you see it, once the Japanese army almost never attacked at night, and people had the advantage of weapons and personnel, why did they take the risk to fight night battles and close combat.
Second, even if the devil comes to attack at night, do you have to run five or six miles away to meet the enemy? You're just a battalion, and you're not a divisional unit or above, so you don't need that long defensive depth.
Just watch that you have succeeded, just turn a blind eye, don't say that you disobey the military order, and don't praise you, just acquiesce, otherwise what the other battalions will think, it's not easy to speak.
For the Seventh Company, the success of this night attack was not only a victory in the battle, but also a way to build the confidence of the recruits and feel the state of war of killing the enemy face to face.
An introductory learning can have this good opportunity, which can be regarded as good luck; Although there were a few casualties, it was insignificant compared to such a large victory, and it also allowed the recruits to face bloodshed and sacrifice as soon as possible.
For the recruits, the time is still too short, because the arrival of the next day is the real baptism, and the 6th Division of the Japanese Army has arrived.
I only heard the sound of gunfire last night, and I couldn't contact a cavalry reconnaissance squad and two infantry squads, so I disappeared out of thin air.
In the morning, Japanese planes and artillery bombed together, as if to avenge the disappearance of a squadron that disappeared last night, and the devil's shells went crazy and kept smashing on the positions and fortifications of the national army.
The front of the Chinese army's position turned into a sea of fire, and several recruits of the Seventh Company were shocked by rounds of shells, and they jumped up with dryness, and it was useless for the veterans to pull them.
Under the rain of shells, once people leave concealment and protection, it is equivalent to death, poor recruits, Sangou looked at them as if they had seen a scene from a few months ago.
This round of shelling directly killed several recruits, but everyone didn't have time to pay attention to these things, because the enemy tanks were already roaring over.
The fire points of light and heavy machine guns on the positions of the national army are now not daring to shoot, and in the past, when there were no devil tanks, the devils generally used mortars to strike at the fire points.
At that time, light and heavy machine guns could withstand mortar attacks if they were in a better bunker, or they could quickly move their positions and evade mortar attacks.
But now it's different, the tank's 37 guns can fire directly, and the tank is flexible and fast, like an iron pillbox pulling a door gun to hit you anytime and anywhere, what heavy machine gun, one shot can hit the sky.
Therefore, in the face of the arrogant tank of the devil, everyone hates it so much, but the tank is arrogant, and everyone has now learned a few tricks from other troops to break it.
At present, the demolition team of the fourth platoon of doglegs, Peng Changhua and Li Jinren, veterans of several months, are hiding in the trench, one holding a simple torch, and the other carrying a small wooden barrel of melted rosin oil, waiting for the tank to come.
Just as the tank drove from the side, Dogleg ordered the light machine gunners in the platoon to immediately shoot and hit the devil infantry behind the tank.
At this time, Peng Changhua and Li Jinren jumped to the side of the tank, and immediately poured a barrel of rosin oil on the side steel plate of the tank, and at the same time dipped the torch on it and burned it.
The machine gunners had already begun to shift their positions when the tank turned the turret, and Peng Changhua and Li Jinren also rolled out and into the trench immediately after finishing the incident.
For a while, a raging fire broke out on one side of the tank, and the devil's tank steel plate was thin, and when it burned, it would roast the inside unbearably, and if it didn't escape, it would become a roast suckling pig.
As soon as the tank soldiers showed their heads on the top cover, they were shot and killed by excellent shooters like Xiucai and them, and the devil infantry behind the tank had no way to protect them.
Sometimes, the burning rosin oil flowed into the tracks, even the inside of the tank, or the fuel tank in the back, burning a tank into a big fireball, and the people inside escaped and were killed, and they were also roasted inside.
It's so uncomfortable to die, it's better to go out and be killed by a shot, just like that, a devil's tank will be reimbursed, and the devil infantry behind can only watch the tank burn down, how can there be so much water to extinguish the fire?
Using rosin oil to burn tanks, after all, is not highly operable, first, rosin is not easy to find, second, it is necessary to turn it, third, to carry a bucket, on the battlefield, but also to dodge bullets, etc., it is difficult to keep the bucket from falling.
Human wisdom is the most embodied and developed on the battlefield where life is at stake, and later the three dogs used small clay pots to fill them with rosin oil turned into liquid.
When the devil tank comes, directly smash the small crockpot as a grenade on the tank, preferably on the turret at the top, so that the rosin oil after the small crockpot is broken will flow on the steel plate of the tank.
The next step is to shoot a flare at the tank dipped in rosin oil, which also contains an adhesive made of dry oil, rosin, etc., which will stick the burning flare to the tank's rosin oil.
The adhesive binds magnesium powder and aluminum powder together, and when magnesium powder and aluminum powder are burned, they can produce high temperatures of several thousand degrees and ensure a certain burning time.
In this way, there is no need to take a big risk to get close to the tank and carry out ignition, etc., once the tank is on fire, small clay pots containing rosin oil or kerosene (kerosene) and shochu can be thrown one after another, causing a larger and longer burn.
If possible, fill the empty iron oil drum with explosives, bury it in the ground, bury a row in front of the position, and light the fuse of the tank when it sees the route of the tank's advance.
The power of the explosion was enough to blow up the tank to a meter high, or blow it over, and the tank crew would definitely be shocked to death.
If there are conditions, the iron oil drum is filled with gasoline, and when he sees the devil's tank coming, he rolls the oil drum down a little higher.
As soon as the oil drum touched the tank, it shot the oil drum, causing the oil drum to catch fire and explode, and the barrel of gasoline splashed on the tank, which exploded and burned, and the tank could not bear it.
Or the easiest way is to wait for the tanks to come, and then light a number of large fires prepared in advance, and the tanks of that era were afraid of fire, so they did not dare to rush forward.
There is also the smoke produced by the fire, similar to smoke grenades, in which the infantry can go around the blind corner of the tank and blow up its tracks.
