1001. "Multi-Branch" Combined Tank

From this point of view, it can be seen that Sangou did not join the 305th Regiment during the Wangting Resistance Battle, but joined the 305th Regiment after the Battle of Nanjing.

At that time, when he was in Wangting, although there were only a few dozen people left in the Seventh Company of the 306th Regiment where Sangou was located, his superiors Niu Gu, Hu Hao, and Qiu Weida were still there.

After the defense of Nanjing, the battalion commander Hu Hao was killed, the eldest brother Niu Gu was missing, the regiment commander Qiu Weida was seriously injured, and almost the entire 306th Regiment was almost wiped out.

By the time Sangou took the last remnants of the Seventh Company to Jingzhou to find the 51st Division, almost the entire 306th Regiment had no acquaintances.

However, Zhang Lingwu and Liu Guangyu of the 305th Regiment are acquaintances, and besides, they have to be warmly invited regardless of the three dogs, so the three dogs agreed to enter the 305 regiment.

When many people go to a place, they look for fellow villagers, classmates, alumni, etc., and rely on their parents to go out and rely on friends at home, and Sangou also means this.

Besides, there are people in the DPRK and China who are good officials, even if they are not for the sake of being officials, in a system like the army, and in the military system during the war years, there is no one at the top, and life is really difficult to mix.

It's hard to mix, it's a big deal, the problem is very dangerous, and it may be sacrificed as cannon fodder anytime and anywhere, so Sangou entered the 305th regiment after a little consideration at that time.

Now, relying on his exploits, he has slowly turned from a newly built company to a main company, from a company commander to a deputy battalion commander to the current acting battalion commander.

……

The coordination of the Japanese army's infantry vehicles became more and more skillful and reasonable, and the tanks were no longer driven one by one as before, but closer to each other, with contact and protection.

The infantry followed, no longer submissively, but spread out in a skirmish formation to protect the flanks and rear of the tank, although there were still many infantry who were still willing to stay behind the tank, after all, it was much safer there.

In the face of the improvement of the Japanese army's infantry and vehicle coordination tactics, the Chinese army has not thought of a better trick to deal with it for the time being, and the three dogs have no choice but to sum up experience and improve their playing style while fighting.

If you have enough time, you can dig tank trenches, or have good weapons, such as anti-tank mines, such as anti-tank anti-tank guns, which are not available for an infantry battalion.

The Eighth Company was at the forefront, and all the people in a small position at the outpost withdrew, after all, in the face of a large number of Japanese attacks, this outpost could not resist at all.

Now the Eighth Company can only pin on the fact that those tricky mines have not been blown up by the aircraft artillery, and some can be retained, and maybe a little Japanese tank can be blown up, and if you are lucky, you can blow up the tracks or something.

It's a pity that no, those trick mines made with grenades have almost been blown up, it seems that there are only one or two, although one of them has exploded into the tank, but the power is too small, and it is just an itch in the boots.

One of the Japanese infantry blew up, but it blew up the devil, but for the entire battlefield, it was almost a drop in the bucket and did not help.

Each platoon of the Eighth Company organized a "multi-arms" combination of "multi-arms" anti-tank units, such as a demolition group, a machine gun group, and a grenade throwing group.

The Demoman straps explosives or cluster grenades to a pole or stick, nests in the front trench, and throws grenades and grenades together, collects some smoke grenades, and prepares to cover the demolition team with smoke grenades.

The men of the machine gun crew, distributed in various concealed firing positions, waited for the company commander's orders, and the position was very quiet except for the roar of Japanese tanks and the cold guns of Japanese infantry.

It's even a bit mysterious, the smoke of gunpowder that gradually dissipates floats around the position of the Eighth Company, but there is not a single Chinese soldier on the battlefield, not even a single gunfire or figure.

Immovable as a mountain. This is an important subject in the training of the third battalion, even if the fire burns to the eyebrows, even if it is in the pit, without an order, it cannot be moved even if it is killed.

The Japanese tanks were a little puzzled, and even stopped halfway and fired a few shots at the Chinese positions, or a few shuttle machine guns.

Whether it was this kind of fire reconnaissance or fire temptation, the Eighth Company now ignored it, and the Japanese army saw that the temptation could not be achieved, and began to continue on the road again.

Despite this, they still maintain a high level of vigilance, after all, after fighting many battles with the Chinese army, they know that the catty and cunning people in this place like to hide themselves.

The Japanese originally drove six tanks, but due to the width of the position, it was now changed to a formation of two horizontal and three vertical, with two groups of three tanks in each group, forming a tank group that could protect each other.

When the first row of three tanks slowly drove thirty meters in front of the first line of positions of the eighth company, the infantry behind the tanks had already begun to throw grenades into the trench.

The grenade exploded in the trench with a bang, and even though everyone dug some bomb shelter trenches, there were still people who were injured and couldn't wait any longer, and when the dogleg saw that the tank had entered twenty meters, he gave the grenade throwing group an order to attack.

Smoke grenades and grenades were constantly dropped around the three Japanese tanks, and the three tanks behind them also used grenadiers to hit their perimeter.

For a time, there were bursts of smoke and gunpowder smoke from the explosion of grenades in the tank formation of these six tanks, and one after another the grenades flashed in the smoke and exploded.

Due to the smoke, many Japanese infantry could not see and dodge the fragments of the grenades, and after being wounded by the explosion, they had to all lie on the ground.

The Japanese tanks, because of the obstruction of their line of sight and the lack of infantry protection behind them, accelerated their advance in order to get out of this smoke center as soon as possible and rush to the position of the Chinese army, so that they could have a big killing.

In this one or two seconds of precious time, that is, the critical time of the whole war, that is, these two seconds, it will be done, it will be done.

The demolition team did not need to be ordered, and immediately rushed into the smoke, in the thick smoke, the demoman himself may not be able to see the tank, but as long as the direction is right, he will soon be able to rush to the tank.

Once you get to the side of the tank, you can see it, and at this time, the Japanese tank, although because of weakness, still blindly fired machine guns at the front.

At the end of last year in Changsha, the third battalion of Sangou also borrowed an abandoned tank and explained the principles and advantages and disadvantages of the tank to all the combatants.

In view of some of the Achilles' heels of the tank, many "multi-arms" coordinated strikes have been carried out, and after many drills, many fighters have become accustomed to nature.

The first fatal point of a good tank is the field of vision, there are powerful special shooters, one shot can break the tank lookout hole, and some people specially shoot smoke grenades around the tank's lookout hole, that is, to blindfold the tank.

Although there is a hatch cover on the tank, on the battlefield where bullets are flying, few tank commanders dare to open the hatch cover and expose the head, unless it is a last resort.
