Chapter 250: The maiden battle of the armored battalion

On the evening of May 25th, the waning moon was like a hook, the stars were dotted, and the wind blowing from the Maji River in the south carried the fragrance in the wheat fields and the green gauze tent, and drilled straight into the nose.

The beautiful Yan Rou, the beautiful Yan Rou of the country, is on the way to enter Texas, causing lovesickness, thousands of thoughts, all kinds of tenderness, and can't be yourself. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The stars in the sky were blinking, as if they had seen through the thoughts of Yan Rou, a female soldier of the Eighth Route Army, and they were sneering softly, "Shame, shame, shame!" ”

Yan Rou is indeed ashamed, uncontrollable!

No one in front of the branch knew what this more beautiful woman than the pomegranate flowers in May was thinking, no one looked at her, and no one dared to greet her, one by one drove the carriage, ox cart, and donkey cart, and walked past her silently, the wheels ran over the ground, making a squeaky sound.

It wasn't until a leading cadre passed by Yan Rou and asked her what was wrong and if her foot was twisted, that Yan Rou woke up from her feelings, said "I'm fine", sped up her pace, and chased after the front team she led.

Different from Yan Rou's tenderness, this night, Yuan Gang, the commander of the armored battalion of the eastward advance detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, was full of spirit and high spirits, and kept shouting hurry, hurry, hurry up, and hurry up.

Yuan Gang was the old Eighth Road when the Tibetan Mountain Temple received the enemy, and followed Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui all the way to fight, without fighting or fighting. In his case, he is the backbone of the backbone of the advance detachment.

It stands to reason that with Yuan Gang's qualifications, he must definitely be a regiment-level cadre. Even if you can't be the head of the main regiment, there is nothing to say about being the political commissar of the regiment. But he was sent by Xiao Siming to form an armored battalion, and he could only be the commander of the armored battalion, and he suddenly distanced himself from his old partner Qiu Wei in terms of level.

However, Yuan Gang himself does not think so. When he was ordered to form an armored battalion, he couldn't even drive a car, but now he can drive Japanese tanks and armored vehicles to charge into battle. At this point, Yuan Gang's eyes opened at once, and he no longer asked Xiao Siming to say that he was unwilling to be the commander of the armored battalion.

During the training in Leling, Xiao Siming went to the armored battalion when he had free time, translated the relevant technical materials of the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles and the tactical training materials of the Japanese tanks, and pondered with Yuan Gang and the others to guide the training.

Developing tanks is indeed a highly difficult and high-tech task, and fighting a war with a tank also requires tactics, but compared with the two, it is obviously much easier to use a tank to fight than to build a tank.

Before the Lugou Bridge Incident, there were more than a dozen automobile firms in Tianjin, specializing in selling imported cars and spare parts. At that time, many wealthy families in Tianjin and Beiping were in a hurry to buy cars, and Tianjin even used cars to replace old-fashioned sedan chairs and marry brides, forming a new fashion. Nanjing's Ministry of Communications of the Nationalist Government also vigorously advocated the construction of highways and the development of automobile transportation. In this case, Beiping to Inner Mongolia is so far, the mountains and mountains, have opened bus lines, operation, not to mention the North China Plain, Beiping to Tianjin, Tianjin to Baoding, Shijiazhuang, including Cangzhou, Dezhou have opened car passenger and freight lines, the emergence of automobile transport companies.

There are car transport companies, there are passenger and freight transporters, and naturally there are car drivers and repairmen.

After the little devils occupied the Pingjin area and the North China Plain, these car drivers and repairmen, because it was impossible to run passenger and freight transportation, were unemployed and went home to run their old days. The advance detachment recruited another group of such skilled fighters in the Jilu border, and the armored battalion now lacks not a shortage of drivers and repairmen, but tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled guns, and automobiles.

Yuan Gang was full of hope that this attack on Texas would allow him to deliver more tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles to the Japanese army, so that his armored battalion could be fully formed.

There was no way, the armored battalion was full, and there were only 8 tanks and 4 armored vehicles captured from the Japanese army at the Lianzhen railway station. It can only be formed into two tank platoons and one armored vehicle platoon. Yuan Gang, the battalion commander, to put it bluntly, is only a company commander for the time being.

Where would Yuan Gang have thought that Xiao Siming is a soul traverser, and the tank tactics he inadvertently and Yuan Gang and the others pondered are much more advanced than the tank tactics of the little devil at this time, if the commanders of the Japanese tanks and brigades know, they will definitely be surprised and their eyeballs will fall out!

Because he was anxious to test the tactics and combat effectiveness of his armored battalion, Yuan Gang commanded the armored battalion to take the lead and rush to the forefront of the marching ranks.

Forward forward, forward forward, in the quiet night, the main force of the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army, led by the armored battalion and cavalry battalion, rushed towards Dezhou City!

When it came to Yuanqiao, it was time for the armored battalion to show its might.

Yuan Bridge is located on the side of the Laojian River, there is a bridge on the river, connecting the highway from Dexian County to Deping County, Ningjin and Leling, and there is a Japanese puppet army stronghold.

It is also an important peripheral garrison base of Gongwei Dezhou, where a Japanese army squad and a company of the Puppet County Self-Police Regiment are stationed.

The puppet Shandong Provincial Office was established on March 5, with the big traitor Ma Liang as the governor, and the Japanese spy Nishida Gengyi as the adviser to the puppet Shandong Provincial Office, and divided Shandong Province into four provinces, Ludong, Lunan, Luxi, and Lubei, and two cities, Jinan and Yantai.

Qingdao Beiri puppet is set as a special city, directly under the jurisdiction of the puppet North China Provisional Government, and the traitor Zhao Qi is the mayor.

The puppet Lu Dong Dao Yin Office is located in Yongqing Temple in Dexian County, the traitor Cheng Yian is the Dao Yin, the Japanese Lai Hukou and Xu Ben are the advisers of the Dao Yin Office, and Kishimoto Shigeru is the police adviser, managing 36 counties in northern and northwest Lu. Including 13 counties in the east of Jinpu Road and 23 counties in the northwest of Shandong.

After the establishment of the puppet Ludong Provincial Yin Office, it began to form puppet regimes and puppet local armed forces in various counties under the command of the Japanese military secret service in Dexian County. Among them, the Dexian County Maintenance Association was reorganized into the Puppet County Government, with a county governor, and the Puppet County Self-Police Regiment and the Puppet Canal Garrison Brigade were established.

At this time, the Japanese Dexian Garrison Command concentrated its forces to pursue the Wudi Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that attacked the Tuqiao stronghold, and the little devils in the Yuanqiao stronghold only had a 13-person infantry detachment left, and the other was a company of the Pseudo-De County Self-Police Regiment commanded by the Japanese instructor.

If it had been left in the past, to deal with this bit of troops, Xiao Siming would definitely have adopted the method of sneak attack and camouflage of the Japanese army to fight, but now in order to temper the armored battalion, Xiao Siming changed his previous tactics and adopted a hard-hitting method, ordering the armored battalion to bombard the turrets and pillboxes of the Japanese puppet stronghold with tanks!

Since its establishment, the armored battalion has not been trained in live ammunition. After receiving this order, Yuan Gang and the soldiers were excited. With a series of orders issued by Yuan Gang on the on-board radio, the commanders of each tank commanded, the tank turned the turret, and the tank gun pointed at the pillbox and gun tower of the Japanese puppet army!

The Japanese puppet army in Yuanqiao never dreamed that the enemy came so suddenly, and they came with tanks and armored vehicles, and they used tank guns to hit their strongholds!

The panicked devil Jun Cao grabbed the telephone and shouted "Moxi, Moxi", wanting to report to the garrison headquarters in Texas City, at least let the commander know that there are combat vehicles and armored vehicles on this Tuba Road!

It's a pity that the little devil encountered the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army led by Xiao Siming, and the scouts of the detachment's reconnaissance company had already infiltrated Dezhou City two days ago. The main action tonight is said to be the armored battalion and the cavalry company rushing to the front, but in fact the reconnaissance company is at the forefront. The telephone line connecting the Yuanqiao stronghold to the county seat has long been cut by the young men of the reconnaissance company, where can the little devil get through the phone!

The phone couldn't get through, and the Eighth Route Army drove a chariot again, and Cao Chang, a devil who knew that he was dead, could only hold a command knife and order machine guns and rifles to shoot wildly.

The Japanese instructor of the company of the puppet self-police regiment was even more crazy, raised his command knife, and forced the puppet soldiers to rush out of the stronghold and bomb the tank with grenades!

Most of the soldiers of the puppet self-police regiment are ruffians and hooligans, although they are either habitual bandits or gangsters who are not afraid of death, but they have never fought with tanks and armored vehicles, you look at me, I look at you, no one is willing to rush out and die. provoked the devil instructor to be furious, and slashed three in a row with a command knife, and the other puppet soldiers were afraid, holding grenades, shouting, and rushing out of strongholds and fortifications like swarms, holding guns and grenades, and rushing towards the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

This group of spineless traitors is not the kind of tough guy who can sacrifice himself to blow up tanks, the vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tanks and armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army flew over like bullets, and those puppet soldiers who didn't care about maintaining the formation lay down.

This is a vehicle-mounted machine gun, as long as it is shot, the body can be discounted in half, and there is no hope of survival at all.

Bloodstained everywhere!

The rest of the puppet army saw that the momentum was not right, and they couldn't take care of the command knife of the devil instructor anymore, so they ran away!

Where to run?

The vehicle-mounted machine guns on the armored vehicles hit more fiercely, and the rifles, machine guns, Jinzao submachine guns, and shell guns in the hands of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who followed behind the tanks and armored vehicles also opened fire.

Immediately afterwards, with Yuan Gang's order, the tank that had completed the preparation for the shelling opened fire, and with a "boom" sound, the first tank to fire the first shell sent the shells into the turret where the Japanese army was entrenched.

The brick and wood turret was hit by a shell, and the upper half collapsed in one fell swoop.

The armored battalion is a newly formed unit, and those who drive tanks and armored vehicles are all veritable recruits, but the gunners and machine gunners are all good drawn from the artillery regiment and the heavy machine gun battalion.

There were a few booms, and the turrets and pillboxes of the Japanese puppet army guarding the Laojian River were all destroyed.

The armored battalion started its maiden battle with shells, and that majesty made the hearts of all the cadres and soldiers light up! (To be continued.) )
