Chapter 1047: The Chariot Strikes

"Commander Li can't say that, you are the commander of the only regiment, and the command of the entire single regiment is still you, Commander Li, and the order I just issued on behalf of the head of the military region asks Commander Li to deploy as soon as possible and immediately launch the most fierce general attack on the Japanese Matsumoto Wing."

Lei Jian looked at Li Gang and continued: "The second step is to send a sharp knife platoon close to the enemy's small force, capture a few prisoners and hand them over to me, and I will conduct a psychological war against the captured prisoners." Now that I have given all the orders, I ask Commander Li Gang to immediately launch a new offensive against the Matsumoto Wing. ”

He also said to Zhang Ping: "Now convey the new combat order to Commander Wu of the 3rd Regiment as quickly as possible, and order the 3rd Regiment to break through the high ground occupied by the Japanese squadron within five hours and clear the remnants of the enemy east of Sangtou Town." ”

Lei Jian then said to Li Gang: "Commander Li, the time for launching a general attack on the Japanese Matsumoto Wing is set for the five newly modified combat vehicles of the guard platoon to launch an offensive against the enemy, and all the troops of the only regiment and the third regiment on the entire Qingshui Bridge line must complete the tasks assigned by the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region ahead of schedule with a spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, and remove all obstacles to the military region's organs and main forces, as well as the march to Fuping City and the anti-Japanese base areas in Beiyue District.

Comrades, we have only more than six hours now, and the task is arduous and time is pressing, and we hope that commanders at all levels will lead the troops and soldiers to bravely kill the enemy, and now they will immediately return to their positions and make preparations for launching a general attack on the enemy. ”

Lei Jian sent away the regimental and battalion commanders who were holding the meeting, stood on a protruding rock in the southern slope position, pinched his waist with one hand and held a telescope in the other, and glanced at the Qingshui Bridge battlefield of nearly 1,000 meters, and saw that the main force of the Japanese 364th Matsumoto Wing was all on the main line of the Wufu Highway, fighting against the only regiment and the third regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Zhang Guanghua, who was standing under the rock, saw Lei Jian standing still with a telescope for a long time, she shouted with concern: "Commander Lei, the injuries on your body are not yet healed, and your body is in the recovery period of weakness. ”

Lei Jian was like a sculpture, pinching his waist with one hand and holding the telescope with the other hand without moving, under the influence of the wind and sand and the fierce gunfire from various battlefields, he didn't hear Zhang Guanghua's reminder to him at all.

Zhang Guanghua couldn't hold back and grabbed Lei Jian's trouser leg, gently pulled it a few times, and shouted in a louder voice: "Commander Lei, come down quickly." ”

Lei Jian was shouted by Zhang Guanghua's trouser leg, and he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly bent down and asked condescendingly: "Vice President Zhang, tell me what's going on?" Why are you shouting at me? Say it. ”

"Commander Lei, come down quickly, a seriously injured person like you standing on the tuyere will be very bad for your body, come down quickly."

Lei Jian heard Zhang Guanghua shouting at his body, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Women are troublesome, hurry up and go away, I will pay attention to my body." ”

Zhang Guanghua didn't expect Lei Jian to say such a thing, and pulled Lei Jian off the rock angrily, Lei Jian jumped to the ground and pulled it to the wound, his body was not stable, and he was about to fall down when he tilted to the side, Zhang Guanghua slammed down and held Lei Jian in his arms.

A mature female body fragrance came to his nose, Lei Jian looked at Zhang Guanghua who was close at hand, and just wanted to laugh a few words, he suddenly broke free and said: "Vice President Zhang, thank you, but your post should be to rescue wounded soldiers on the battlefield, why do you still stay by my side and not leave?" ”

"Commander Lei, you are really a noble person, I followed you with your consent to ask for your consent, and said that if I am not afraid of death, I will participate in the battle to destroy the enemy's artillery position with you, why is the enemy's artillery position destroyed, and now I see me Zhang Guanghua is an eyesore? I tell you Captain Lei, my mission is to ensure your life.

Once your injuries suddenly deteriorate on the battlefield, I, Zhang Guanghua, will treat them in time, and this is also the task given to me by the only regiment Commander Li, Political Commissar Ma and Lao Sun, and I, Zhang Guanghua, have no right to leave you Commander Lei. ”

"Hahaha, this is the first time that my Lei Jian has been kidnapped, or has I been kidnapped by a young and beautiful girl with excellent medical skills, I don't know if it's my honor or not."

"Commander Lei, no matter what you say, no matter what you say, no matter how ugly you say, I will not leave you, this is my task, and you have no right to drive me away from you, now you are the commander of the entire position on the front line of Qingshui Bridge, as long as your injuries and physical problems are not in place, I, Zhang Guanghua, will never add to the obstruction when you command the operation."

"That's good." Lei Jian said and pressed the rock to climb up, stood up straight and scanned the entire battlefield with a telescope again, Zhang Guanghua, who was standing under the rock, saw Lei Jian's thin body standing on the tuyere, she jumped on the rock and leaned against Lei Jian, and used her weak body to lean on Lei Jian, giving Lei Jian's strength support and physical and mental warmth.

Lei Jian scanned the entire battlefield on the front line of Qingshui Bridge twice, and suddenly shouted to Zhang Ping, who was standing not far away: "Director Zhang, order Feng Guang, the commander of the guard platoon, to lead five modified chariots and immediately launch the most fierce chariot fire attack on the Matsumoto Wing, which is fighting with the only regiment of our Eighth Route Army on the Wufu Highway. ”

Feng Guang received an order from Lei Jian and ordered the soldiers on the five chariots: "Comrades of the guard platoon, Commander Lei ordered the soldiers of our platoon to drive the five chariots and immediately launch a mobile and flexible fire strike against the Matsumoto Wing. ”

At this time, the five chariots led by Feng Guang were two side by side according to the front row and the back ten meters apart, and the last two chariots were twenty meters away from the front, and at this time they were driving downhill at 37 degrees, and each chariot was swooping forward towards the Japanese Matsumoto Wing.

Lei Jian originally remodeled this kind of tank in Jiaodong, and with the continuous deepening of the campaign, it made continuous corrections, especially in the several battles in which the only regiment participated in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the modification of the tank tended to be more reasonable, and the firepower exerted was more powerful.

Each tank is fixed with a heavy machine gun at the front, a light machine gun on each side, two mortars are fixed side by side when they are one meter back, and when they are a little far away from the enemy, the two mortars suddenly fire a shell at the enemy group, and the fierce fire cooperates with the only infantry fighting with the enemy, and launches the most fierce fire counterattack against the enemy.

Such a maneuverable chariot can kill the enemy when it advances, and it can also hit the pursuing Japanese troops when retreating, and the enemy wants to destroy this kind of chariot with great lethality, without artillery units it is difficult to match it with infantry alone.

Feng Guang stood on the first chariot, he saw that the distance between the mortar and the enemy's attacking troops was approaching rapidly, and he suddenly shouted: "The chariot stops advancing, quickly adjusts the gun position, and aims at the place where the enemy cluster is firing——。 ”

The five chariots with the nose facing northeast and the rear facing southwest stopped at a slope of 37 degrees, and the soldiers of the guard platoon skillfully adjusted the mortars, aimed at the place where the devils were clustered, loaded and fired, and one shell after another suddenly flew out of their chambers, roaring and exploding in the enemy group, and the five chariots and ten mortars fired at the enemy almost at the same time.

One shell after another fell on the enemy group, and the mud, shrapnel and broken limbs and arms of the devils set off by the explosion rose into the air, and a wave did not fall, followed by another round of explosions, and the powerful artillery fire blew up the devils in all directions, and the ghosts cried wolf, and the Matsumoto Wing was concentrating its firepower and was about to break through the forward positions on the north and south slopes of the Eighth Route Army.

Wing Commander Matsumoto was confused by the five trucks that had just appeared from the northeast, and shouted to Chief of Staff Toshi Takada beside him: "Chief of Staff Takada, what kind of work are the trucks rushing forward along the Wufu Highway from the northeast?" Figure it out quickly. ”

Chief of Staff Jun Takada took a closer look with a telescope, glanced at the rapidly approaching chariot and exclaimed: "Your Excellency Matsumoto Daisa, I found that the five trucks driving over are very dangerous, and the ones standing on the trucks are not my soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, it should be Dohachi, the trucks are loaded with heavy weapons, and they are rapidly approaching our wing." ”

Wing Commander Matsumoto was startled by the exclamation of Chief of Staff Takada Jun, he quickly held the binoculars and looked at the five trucks that were rushing towards him with many suspicious points, and when he found that the soldiers on the trucks were really the Eighth Route Army, he shouted in his heart: "Order a squadron to quickly fire to block the five trucks that rushed over and were occupied by the Eighth Road, and must destroy these five dangerous trucks." ”

Chief of Staff Takada Jun immediately ordered the squadron leader who had retreated to join the battle at the artillery position of the 364th Wing of the Japanese Army: "Quickly lead your squadron to occupy the favorable terrain, and destroy all the trucks that rushed over and were occupied by the Eighth Road, do you understand?" ”

Just when the leader of the devil squadron received an order to lead a squadron of devils, ready to destroy the five modified chariots led by Feng Guang, suddenly these five chariots stopped on the Wufu road, forming a formation of three teams in front and rear, and in a short time, they fired shells from the chariots, and exploded in the enemy group with a roar of 'boom, boom, boom'.
