Chapter 1945 Night Battle in Chaos

In the past ten years, hundreds of thousands of orphans adopted by An Yi have come of age one after another since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and a small number of them have entered the army, and now they have become a unique group in the army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo(《》)

If you want to talk about the loyalty to Nanhua and An Yi, no one can compare with them, and they are indeed the best group, they have received strict training since childhood, they are more suitable for the life of the army than others, and they can always stand out.

Twenty-year-old An Guanghua is also one of the orphans, he joined the army directly after graduating from the Boy Scout Academy in 38, served as a soldier for two years and entered the Syrian non-commissioned officer school for further study, just graduated in June this year, was awarded the rank of second lieutenant, and was assigned to the 111th Motorized Infantry Regiment of the 109th Division of the Baikal Cluster of the Mongolian Military Region as a platoon commander.

The platoon led by An Guanghua has five infantry squads and one artillery squad, each of which has 15 people, equipped with a general-purpose machine gun, a 1 August mortar, and a 40-mm rocket launcher, and each infantry is equipped with an I-type automatic rifle and a pistol with 360 rounds of ammunition, 36 rounds of artillery shells for mortar gunners and auxiliaries, and 12 rounds of rockets for bazooka hands and ammunition. The artillery squad consisted of twenty people, armed with three 60-mm mortars, one recoilless gun, and three 75-mm sixteen-barrel rocket launchers.

As a motorized unit, this platoon was supposed to all be marching on Type II full-track armored personnel carriers, but because of the high mountains and mountains along the way from Eastern Siberia to the Far East, which was not conducive to vehicle traffic, the limited railway required the transportation of tanks, armored fighting vehicles, trucks and artillery, as well as fuel, food and ammunition to ensure the supply of troops, so most officers and men could only walk.

At present, the platoon is equipped with only four Type II full-track armored personnel carriers for loading weapons, ammunition and towing rocket artillery, and the rest of the personnel are divided into three military trucks - although this saves the pain of marching, once on the battlefield, the officers and men can still only rely on their own legs.

It has been two days since the 18th Japanese crossed the river, and on the first day of the battle, the Heilongjiang defense line operated by the Japanese army collapsed under the stormy attack of the Anjia army.

Today, five battles have broken out along the way, and the Japanese army, which could not retreat in time, always tried every means to delay the attack of the Anjia army in order to cover the rapid departure of other troops from the battlefield.

The water network in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River is dense, and a large number of indigenous people from Southeast Asia and India have been relocated after the Japanese occupation in 38 years, and there are rice fields in the shape of tofu blocks everywhere, which is very unfavorable for large-scale mechanized troops, and only a small number of armored combat vehicles are used as assault forces, and every encounter is very fierce. (《》7*

The contact battle that is currently going on has been fought from dusk until nightfall, and the whole land has been completely covered in night so far.

As the gunfire on the front line subsided, An Guanghua, as a reserve, received an order from his superiors to move forward quickly, taking over the surprise intersperses of the brother troops, and striving to occupy the town of Xinda, which is more than 30 kilometers ahead tomorrow morning, and then he could set up camp and rest, and the follow-up troops would continue to attack, tearing apart the layers of resistance of the Japanese army without stopping for a moment.

On the left and right flanks of An Guanghua's platoon, the troops of the Anjia Army, which were divided into companies and platoons, followed closely by the few armored combat vehicles, and rapidly advanced eastward.

When the battlefield passed through dusk, the damp earth was full of stumps, broken arms and intestines, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and everyone's hearts were tight.

The heart-rending howl of the armored car's tracks as it ran over the remaining ghost soldiers was tingling.

"Watch your step! Be vigilant! ”

An Guanghua stepped on a head that was separated from his limbs, almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly reminded his soldiers.

In addition to the mutilated limbs on the battlefield, the corpses are also all over the place, including many ghost soldiers who pretend to be dead or stunned by shells, but as long as they move, they are greeted by a shuttle bullet, and occasionally they pull grenades and die together, but no one stops, they must move forward as soon as possible to figure out the situation in front of them, so that the rear troops can quickly follow up.

In the blurred vision, the officers and men of An Jia formed a straggler formation, advancing rapidly towards the front, and each officer and soldier was very cautious to meet the Japanese resistance that might appear at any time in the dark.

In the night, the footsteps of one or two thousand people moving at the same time, as well as the gas mask barrels, water bottles, sapper shovels, bayonet scabbards and other objects on the officers and men rubbed against each other, making the sound of a snort, intermingling together, forming a unique sonata, and the sound of guns and artillery could still be heard from time to time in the distance - that is, the tank and armored units directly under the division launched attacks from both flanks respectively to completely break the Japanese defense line.

As the leader of a platoon, An Guanghua not only beckoned the soldiers from time to time to pay attention to maintaining the formation, but also paid attention to his breathing and footsteps, so as to save the consumption of physical strength as much as possible.

When the entire platoon had completely crossed the battlefield, the forward units were again attacked by small Japanese troops. 《》

The Japanese soldiers' crutches and chicken-neck light machine guns made a loud roar, and the dark red light points scurried in the fields, and many officers and soldiers of An Jia who could not evade fell in response, but the machine guns of these devils could not stop the attack of the An Jia army.

In the darkness, the muzzle fire revealed the exact position of these machine guns, and after a slight adjustment, the Type II and Type III armored fighting vehicles mixed with the Anjia Army's offensive queue were cleared one by one with 20 mm cannons and 12.7 mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns, and the Anjia Army infantry did not show weakness, because the distance between the two sides at the time of the battle was less than 400 meters, the Type I general-purpose machine guns that fired on the spot could easily suppress the opponent by virtue of the advantage of the rate of fire.

Before the mortars carried by the infantry joined the battle, the Japanese machine-gun positions had been completely destroyed, and then, almost none of the devil soldiers along the way organized a decent resistance.

After marching quickly for more than half an hour, the infantry of the Anjia Army, who followed the armored vehicles into the counterattack, finally left the previous battlefield far behind, and there was no gunsmoke and bloody breath in the air, everyone couldn't help but take a long deep breath, and then expelled the turbid air in their chests and abdomen.

The troops continued to advance, and after about half an hour, the fire flashed in the field, and the roar of large-caliber artillery fire was suddenly heard.

An Guanghua subconsciously lowered his posture, and before he could shout, the cannonballs were already whirring and falling. Fortunately, most of the officers and men in the platoon were experienced veterans, and in the face of the sudden shelling, they did not panic, and chose to squat down or lie down directly, but the actual landing point of the shells fired by the Japanese was much farther than sounding, and there were basically no casualties in the whole platoon, and there was a high splash in the paddy fields in the distance.

The muzzles of the flames seemed to be within the range of the machine guns and the high-level dual-purpose machine guns, and the four armored combat vehicles nearby opened fire almost the moment the explosion died down, and the strings of 20 mm machine gun shells and 12.7 mm caliber machine gun bullets flew into the depths of the darkness.

However, the An Jiajun was still shooting, and the second and third fires flashed again in the darkness, and the ignorant black shadow in the position of the small deviation shocked some sharp-eyed An Jia officers and soldiers.

"Devil's tank!"

Hearing this unbelievable shout, An Guanghua couldn't help frowning.

In other battlefields, what the infantry needed to do was to follow the tanks and armored forces, advance quickly, quickly expand the results, and in many cases collect groups of prisoners, but in this vast and sparsely populated Far East, limited by the terrain of the battlefield and the difficulty of transporting supplies, the infantry of the Anjia Army could only provoke the main beams, including fighting against the Japanese scattered Ling Star tanks.

An Guanghua, who had received special anti-tank training at the non-commissioned officer school, calmly glanced at the battlefield, only to see that the officers and soldiers under his command had stopped and waited for his orders, and then looked at the several armored vehicles leading the attack in the queue, all of which were firing fiercely at this time, and the weapons carried by the infantrymen were constantly ringing.

Just over ten seconds later, an armored combat vehicle was shot, burst into flames, exploded and burned, and in the darkness where the Anjia Army's machine guns, machine guns, and rifle bullets crossed, bursting out with fierce sparks, but the enemy was obviously unharmed, and continued to fire.

Seeing this, An Guanghua decisively ordered: "The anti-tank personnel follow me, and the others shoot freely to cover our actions!" ”

After speaking, An Guanghua rushed into the darkness in front of him, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers operating recoilless guns and bazookas followed An Guanghua without hesitation.

At this time, there were similar small units advancing all over the skirmish line.

An Guanghua walked forward with a cat's waist, while carefully observing the battlefield, the artillery fire that burst out of the darkness was basically fixed in three positions, and it was indeed a Japanese four-type medium tank. The heavy armor of this tank is not afraid of the guns of the armored fighting vehicles on the side of the Anjia Army, and the 75mm anti-aircraft gun is full of power, only five rounds of fire, and three armored vehicles in the offensive queue of the Anjia Army were hit and caught fire.

Other armored combat vehicles did not dare to stay in place at all, constantly performing serpentine maneuvers and advancing separately to the two flanks, trying to find an opportunity to break through from the flanks and rear, but the Japanese artillery fire was not attracted and still shelled at a high speed of more than twenty seconds.

When the infantry of the Anjia Army was only one or two hundred meters away from the Japanese tanks, there were tongues of fire from machine guns in the darkness, and a series of bullets flipped several soldiers of the Anjia Army who were caught off guard to the ground, and An Guanghua quickly fell to the ground, allowing the bullet marks that pierced the night sky to fly overhead.

An Guanghua gently instructed the recoilless gun and bazooka hand to open fire on the Japanese tank.

Half a minute later, the recoilless shells and rockets accurately hit the target, the 75mm armor of the Type 4 tank could not resist the close attack of the Type III 40mm armor-piercing rockets and recoilless gun shells, continuous explosions came, and in the blazing fire, the three tanks became coffins of fire, and quickly muted the fire.

In the dark, An Guanghua excitedly hammered down to the ground, and at this time, the mortar sound in the rear sounded continuously, and the Japanese blocking position, which was illuminated by the fire of the exploding tank, was instantly surrounded by artillery fire.

"Rush!"

The shouts of killing sounded, and the officers and men of Anjia, who had been firmly suppressed, jumped up and rushed towards the Japanese position, and soon wiped out the small group of Japanese troops who had lost the cover of tanks and machine guns.

An Guanghua stood up, and two minutes later joined his troops and continued to move forward to launch a assault.

......

At dawn the next day, in the town of Xinda on the east bank of the Heilongjiang River, tanks, armored vehicles and trucks of the Anjia Army lined up in a long line, waiting for fuel supplies.

The temporary gas stations set up by the logistics department here are temporarily formed by a huge number of airship air oil barrels, and dozens or hundreds of barrels of diesel and gasoline are piled up at each gas station.

A group of soldiers used primitive hand-pressure pumps to press diesel and gasoline into the tanks of tanks, armoured vehicles and vehicles, while tankers, armoured vehicles and vehicle drivers seized the time to overhaul engines and tighten the loose screws and nuts at key parts of the vehicles during the march. Without the large number of similar temporary refueling stations, it would be difficult for such efficiency to meet the needs of the troops.

The tanks, armoured vehicles, and vehicles that had finished refueling immediately continued along the road to the northeast, and the field cooks were already working on the side of the road.

The freshly cooked rice and all kinds of freshly opened canned food, as well as the large pot of vegetables fried by the airship, exuded an attractive aroma, and a large amount of kelp, seaweed, or vegetable soup was still chosen by the officers and men.

At this time, on the edge of the wooded area two kilometers from the town in the northeast, An Guanghua had already set up barracks with his troops, and began to take out lunch boxes to eat, where they would rest until the evening, and then continue on the road, until two days later they would enter the front line again, and the cycle would repeat.

While everyone was eating, the roar came from overhead from time to time.

Most of the officers and men were smiling happily, and some of them were waving frequently to the fighters in the sky, and these were the Anjia Army's standard fighters with the eye-catching flying fox logo painted under the wings. Since the 18th, the Japanese air force has never appeared in the sky of the Far East, and it seems that the rumor that the Japanese army does not want to waste precious fighters on this battlefield that is destined to be lost is true.
