Chapter 281: Armor Crushing
With Xiao Siming's shout of "rush up and run over it", the 12 tanks and eight armored vehicles of the armored battalion immediately changed their formation, basically two tanks and one armored car in a group, with their lights on, booming, and crushing towards the bridgehead position at the west end of the Japanese Luokou Bridge. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The fighters of the regiment and battalion on the car jumped out of the car, formed an infantry squad battle formation, bent over, and followed behind the tanks and armored vehicles.
What remained on the car were the infantry artillery battalion and rapid-fire artillery company of the artillery regiment and the heavy machine gun battalion and the machine gun company of one regiment and one battalion.
At this time, on the highway from Jinan to Luokou, the car lights were flashing, and Japanese reinforcements were rushing towards Luokou.
Heaven bless, the Eighth Route Army finally arrived before the Japanese reinforcements arrived at Luokou.
The Japanese troops guarding the west end of the Luokou Bridge were a squad of the Fifth Independent Brigade of the Japanese Railway. They had already received the order, and the whole squad of 54 people went to positions and entered the pillboxes and trenches at the bridgehead.
When he saw the headlights of the Eighth Route Army from a distance, the leader of the devil squad was stunned, and he couldn't figure out whether it was the Eighth Route Army or the Imperial Army. Because in his cognition, the Chinese army basically has no vehicles, let alone the Eighth Route Army!
When the advance detachment of the Eastern Front rushed to the front of the position, spread out the formation, and launched an attack on them, the leader of the devil squad realized that the Eighth Route Army was actually driving chariots and armored vehicles to attack his position!
If the leaders of the Japanese army could have imagined that one day the Eighth Route Army would drive tanks and armored vehicles to seize the Luokou Bridge, they would definitely establish anti-tank positions here and deploy rapid-fire guns. It's a pity that those crazy demons who invaded China couldn't have thought of this day!
The leader of the devil squad was anxious, and the command knife pointed at the tanks and armored vehicles that rushed up, and howled: "Kill it!" ”
A squad of 54 little devils, facing twelve tanks and eight armored vehicles, did not choose to flee backwards with their butts, but used the crooked light machine gun and the three-eight cover that were indistinguishable from the Hull burning stick when they encountered the tank, and began to block it! Little devil, it's really tenacious!
The little devil fired, the vehicle-mounted machine gun on the armored vehicle of the Eighth Route Army also fired, and the bullets chirped and flew towards the devil's position.
The devil's bridgehead is made of reinforced concrete, and it is very strong. The crooked machine gun in the bunker opened fire violently at this time, and the bullet hit the heavy tank of the Eighth Route Army.
The bridgehead is naturally the first target of tank attacks!
Yuan Gang shouted loudly through the on-board radio: "Car No. 1, car No. 2, drive up, hit the shooting hole of the devil's bunker with the muzzle, and bombard it for Lao Tzu!" ”
The No. 1 and No. 2 cars themselves were going to the devil's bridgehead, and when they heard the order, they replied "yes", so they rushed forward until they were about ten meters away from the bridgehead.
Immediately afterward, Tank No. 2 also hit the butt and fired a shell into the firing hole of the bridgehead.
The gunfire in the Japanese bridgehead stopped abruptly!
The fighters who followed the butts of car No. 1 and car No. 2 quickly rushed to the east side of the bridgehead, rushed into the pillbox, and replenished the guns of the little devils who were not dead!
The Luokou Bridge is so important that since the day it was completed and opened to traffic, there have been troops stationed here, and the fortifications have been built very strongly. In addition to the bridgehead, trenches, individual bunkers and pillboxes were built on both sides of the railway, which was equivalent to using trenches to connect the firing points of the pillboxes.
If it were not for the use of armored battalions to attack, relying solely on infantry attacks, with the accurate shooting skills of Japanese soldiers, although they only had one squad, they would not have any problem relying on such an attack against a battalion of the Eighth Route Army. It is likely that the end is that the Eighth Route Army had to retreat with hatred.
Now the situation is different. Since the establishment of the armored battalion and the introduction of the armored battalion into actual combat, the combat mode of the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army has undergone fundamental changes.
Not to mention the armored strength of the armored battalion, with tanks in front of the cover, the infantry can follow behind the tanks to attack the Japanese army, and the grenades can accurately fall into the Japanese trenches and pillboxes.
The motors were roaring, the machine guns were shouting, the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army were carrying machine guns, so that the little devils in the trenches couldn't raise their heads, and the tanks roared up to the Japanese positions, aiming at the Japanese pillboxes and bombarding them, one at a time, very accurate!
Later, the tanks of the armored battalion went directly to the trenches of the Japanese army and crushed the little devils with tracks.
Some little devils were unwilling to die like this, jumped out of the trenches, and threw grenades at the crushed tanks, but unfortunately the Japanese army's small melon grenades had no handle and could not be tied into cluster grenades, and their destructive power was limited, and they could not blow up tanks, so they could only be beaten into a hornet's nest by the machine guns and rifles of the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, the completely desperate little devils finally began to escape, and as a result, the troops loaded with the cavalry battalion that detoured from both wings all returned to the East!
A squad of 54 devils was instantly overwhelmed by the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored battalion of the Eighth Route Army!
After solving the devil squad guarding the Luokou Bridge, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army took the lead on the railway bridge, pressed the railway tracks, and rushed towards the east end of the bridge with a bang.
It was followed by a torrent of steel made up of armored vehicles and cars, and a cavalry battalion remounted on horseback.
On both sides of the railway at the east end of the Luokou Bridge, there are also bridgeheads, positions are also constructed, and there are also devil squads stationed.
These little devils watched their comrades-in-arms at the west end of the bridge being swallowed up by the chariots and armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, and their courage was shattered, and the leader of the devil squad hurriedly sent someone back to Luokou Town to report to the squadron and brigade by phone that the Eighth Route Army had chariots!
At this time, it was too late to report again, the Japanese reinforcements from Jinan arrived soon, whether they were equipped with anti-tank rapid-fire guns, only the devil knows!
This squad of the 3rd Independent Brigade of the Japanese Railway stationed at the eastern end of the bridge had neither anti-tank guns, nor infantry guns, nor even explosive packs, let alone making Molotov cocktails, all they had was the Taisho 11-style crooked light machine gun, the 38 big cover and the small melon grenade produced by the Japanese Empire!
The leader of the devil squad, knowing that he was invincible, turned around and glanced at the car lights flashing in the night sky in the distance, and did the most basic thing worthy of his title of soldier, that is, to order the two little devils to run in the direction of Jinan to intercept the Japanese troops who were rushing in the direction of Luokou Bridge, and tell them that the Eighth Route Army had chariots, armored vehicles, automobiles, and cavalry.
The captain of the devil squad is in charge, but unfortunately, the two little devils who are responsible for sending the letter back have a bad life, and they just ran ten steps before their bodies opened the pendulum, and then fell to the ground with their eyes wide open.
Needless to say, the vehicle-mounted machine gun bullets on the galloping tanks of the Eighth Route Army swept the two little devils, and their bodies were torn apart by machine gun bullets.
Like the devil squad leader at the west end of the bridge, this devil squad leader who was heartbroken also commanded the knife with a knife and let out a howl of "kill and give".
If the devil squad guarding the east end of the bridge can stop the Eighth Route Army for half an hour, or 10 minutes, the first brigade of the second wing of the mixed brigade of the devil's North China garrison army from Jinan will arrive, and maybe the Eighth Route Army will be blocked on the Luokou Bridge!
Things in the world can have assumptions, they can have or, but after all, they are hypothetical, yes, or, not real facts!
Xiao Siming must have also seen the flashing car lights in the night sky in the distance, and knew that the Japanese reinforcements were arriving in an instant, where would they give the devil squad guarding the east end of the bridge a chance, wave the armored battalion to kill, and talk to the little devil with tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns.
Twelve medium tanks, in the Japanese army, are three tank squadrons, plus eight armored vehicles, which is definitely a winning weapon.
Think about it, the defense of Tengxian County, which kicked off the Battle of Taierzhuang, the warriors of the 45th Army of the Sichuan Army, when they fought with the Japanese army on the outskirts of Tengxian County, the chariots and armored vehicles of the little devils were the nemesis of the soldiers. When Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division defended Tengxian County and spilled blood in Tengxian County, the chariots and armored vehicles of the little devils were also raging. In particular, the sporadic units of our army's retreat rarely survived when they encountered Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
All this is due to the lack of aircraft, heavy artillery, tanks and anti-tank weapons in the Chinese army.
Feng Shui takes turns, and now it is the turn of the Japanese garrison team without anti-tank weapons to meet the tanks and armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army.
A devil squad of more than 50 people, when you meet an armored battalion, the outcome is certain!
Roaring tanks, armored vehicles, and cars drove across the bridge, cavalry galloped across the bridge, and the steel-structured Luokou Bridge trembled slightly!
At this time, Luokou under the Luokou Bridge was in chaos. A company of puppet soldiers who remained in the town were all watching the fierce battle in the direction of the bridge with their eyes wide open. At the beginning, these puppet soldiers also thought that it was the chariot troops of the imperial army, but with the sound of gunfire, their hearts were cold, and they knew that it was the imperial army guarding the west end of the bridge and the Eighth Route Army engaged in a fierce battle.
What these puppet soldiers didn't expect was that the battle ended so quickly, and the tanks, armored vehicles, and cars of the Eighth Route Army roared onto the bridge, which quickly crushed the dreams of the imperial army garrison team at the east end of the bridge, and also crushed the dreams of the puppet soldiers in Luokou Town.
These spineless guys actually took advantage of the night to escape in the direction of Jinan. At the beginning, it was a puppet army with a few clever brains, and then it was a puppet army in groups of threes, threes, twos, and twos, and when the puppet army company commander thought that it should be fought and withdrawn, he found that a company of almost 100 people was left with him and a few of his cronies who were inseparable from each other.
Seeing this scene, the company commander of the puppet army did not dare to hesitate, and took a few cronies to take advantage of the night to slip away! (To be continued.) )
