Chapter 837: Quickly Hide
The White Tiger mentioned by Yin Jinshan is the code name of the second battalion of Ye Zimin's armor, the four battalions of the fourth regiment of honor are codenamed Qinglong, Baihu, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, and the six regiments of the second division of honor are codenamed Huben, Axe, Lianjiang, Weiguo, Yongtai, and Gongya.
Among them, the tiger ben, the axe, the bow and arrow are from Jiuxi, Lianjiang and Yongtai are place names, and the Patriotic Regiment is the title of the fourth regiment awarded by the chairman of the committee, so they are codenamed directly with the Patriotic Nation.
As Yin Jinshan's order began to be issued to Ye Zimin's armored second battalion troops, forty-five Vickers tanks began to advance in a wedge-shaped formation, and Ye Zimin led the battalion tanks to command in the center.
THE TANK UNITS ADVANCED ALONG THE PATH CLEARED BY THE ARMORED ARTILLERY BATTALION, AND WHEN THE TANKS WERE LESS THAN 500 METERS AWAY FROM THE JAPANESE POSITIONS, TWO 20MM ANTI-TANK GUNS BEGAN TO FIRE.
The two shells landed directly at a distance from the tank, and the Japanese gunners missed the shot, and the two shells did not hit accurately.
WITH THE FIRING OF THESE TWO ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS, THE TWO JAPANESE 20MM ANTI-TANK GUNS WERE ALL EXPOSED, AND THE FOUR 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS DIRECTLY UNDER THE SECOND ARMORED BATTALION BEGAN TO FIRE.
FOUR ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS FIRED DIRECTLY AT THE JAPANESE ANTI-TANK GUNS, AND TWO JAPANESE 20MM ANTI-TANK GUNS WERE DESTROYED ON THE SPOT.
"Shoot, shoot quickly, intercept them, don't let them come close." On the Japanese position, Captain Shaozo immediately began to give orders.
After giving the combat order to his troops, Captain Shaozo immediately ran back to his own brigade headquarters, and he immediately began to get in touch with the wing headquarters through the radio.
He could feel that this dispatch of the Eighth Route Army was the main force, and the two anti-tank guns directly under his brigade were easily destroyed by the Eighth Route Army troops, and in the face of the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army, the first brigade of the 62nd Wing did not have any artillery that could be opposed, and the commander of the Shaozo Brigade hoped to be supported by the divisional artillery wing and the Eighth Wing of the independent field heavy artillery.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the 1st Brigade was attacked by the main force of the Honorary 2nd Division of the Eighth Route Army in China, and the armored troops were dispatched in China, and the 1st Brigade requested tactical guidance!"
After connecting the phone, Captain Shaozuo immediately reported the situation on his side, and his face was full of solemn expressions.
EVEN THOUGH HE STILL HAS FOUR 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS AND TWO TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS IN HIS HANDS, CAPTAIN SHAO ZUO KNOWS VERY WELL THAT HIS SIX GUNS ARE HOLE CARDS AND CANNOT BE USED EASILY.
He wanted to go through the wing headquarters and perhaps to the artillery wing and the independent field heavy artillery wing, which could help the commander of the Shaozo group to hold the position.
"I'll arrange troops to support you in the fight right away." After the wing commander heard the debriefing, he immediately replied.
After hanging up the call from the captain of the 1st Brigade, the captain of the 62nd Wing immediately sent a telegram to the division headquarters to report the situation.
When the headquarters of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army received a report from the 62nd Wing, the commander of the 21st Division, Lieutenant General Washizu Matsudaira, immediately sent a telegram to the artillery wing, and he asked the artillery wing directly under the 21st Division to immediately fire and support the first brigade of the 62nd Wing.
"Boom, boom!" SHELLS BEGAN TO FIRE AT THE POSITIONS OF THE FIRST BRIGADE OF THE JAPANESE 62 WING, AND THIS TIME IN ADDITION TO THE EIGHT 47MM TANK GUNS AND EIGHT 105MM HOWITZERS OF THE ARMORED ARTILLERY BATTALION, THE 47MM TANK GUNS OF THE FORTY-FIVE VICKERS TANKS OF THE THREE ARMORED COMPANIES ALSO BEGAN TO FIRE.
The Japanese positions were soon engulfed in smoke, and forty-five tanks were getting closer and closer to the Japanese positions.
The devil soldiers had no choice but to pull the trigger and shoot, and the bullets clanged on the armor of the tank, but they did not bring any damage to the tank.
The tank machine guns began to fire, and the exposed devil soldiers were beaten into a sieve by the tank machine guns one by one.
The devil soldiers fell into the trench, as if in the blink of an eye, the little devils paid dozens of casualties.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't be exposed!" A squadron leader of the Devil Soldier Captain shouted loudly, realizing that his troops were unable to fight the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.
After the devil soldiers received the order, they immediately lay down in the trenches, not daring to show any of their body parts at all.
The fifteen tanks that rushed to the front were already less than a hundred meters away from the position, and the devil soldiers could clearly feel the position shaking.
One grenade after another began to fire towards the position, and as the grenades exploded, more than a dozen exposed devil soldiers were killed on the spot.
The tanks began to approach the position, one tank after another approached the position, the tank machine guns continued to fire, and the devil soldiers hiding in the trenches directly became the live targets of the machine gun shooters.
"Blow up the tank, blow up the tank quickly!" The Devil Soldier Officer shouted loudly, looking at the tanks of the Eighth Route Army that had already rushed to the position, they could only choose to use human bombs.
"Boom, boom!"
THIRTY-SIX 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS BEGAN TO FIRE, AND THE ARTILLERY WING BELONGING TO THE 21ST DIVISION BEGAN TO FIRE, AND ONE SHELL AFTER ANOTHER QUICKLY HIT THE TANK.
The explosion kept sounding, a Vickers tank was hit by a grenade, the tank shook violently, a hole appeared in the armor in front of the tank, three armored soldiers inside the Vickers tank died on the spot, the tank engine was destroyed, and the Vickers tank stopped in place.
One Vickers tank was destroyed, but the rest of the grenades did not cause any casualties to the 2nd Panzer Battalion.
At this time, all the forty-four tanks of the 2nd Armored Battalion approached the Japanese position, and the tank machine guns continued to fire at the devil soldiers, and the devil soldiers hiding in the trenches fell to the ground one after another.
Hundreds of devil soldiers began to fall in a pool of blood, and the rest of the devil soldiers didn't know how to face these tanks.
"Captain, we have lost more than 200 people, and there are less than 400 troops that can continue to fight. Captain, can we temporarily evacuate now, now that we have mixed with the tank troops of China, the artillery units will not be able to carry out artillery shelling of the armored units of the Eighth Route Army of China. ”
A captain officer hurriedly ran to the captain of the Shaozo brigade, and he shouted in an anxious tone.
"Don't worry, the wing headquarters will send us reinforcements immediately, and we will definitely be able to hold our position." Captain Shaozo said in a firm tone.
At this time, the 4th Regiment of Honor quickly advanced along the gap made by the 2nd Armored Battalion.
This gap was constantly widened by the troops of the Honorable Fourth Regiment, followed by the guard battalion and other troops quickly covering the rapid advance of the division headquarters and directly subordinate troops.
The troops of the 4th Regiment of Honor successively covered the division headquarters and the troops directly under them to break through, and then when the troops of the 3rd Regiment of Honor began to break through, the troops of the 4th Regiment of Honor began to break away from contact with the Japanese troops, and the tank units quickly began to cover the withdrawal of troops.
"Where the hell are the Chinese troops, you immediately get in touch with the artillery wing, report the location of the Chinese troops, and provide targets for the artillery units to strike!"
The Wing Commander of the 62nd Wing once again connected the phone to the Brigade Headquarters of the First Brigade, and he shouted in a solemn tone.
