Episode 23 Iron Wall Closure (2)
"Greatβ" Han Xing happily patted Chen Ping on the shoulder, and kissed her in order to show his appreciation for her. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Dazhong couldn't stand it, and snorted and said: "I said Commander Han, there is still a war here, you have to concentrate!" Don't look at what kind of place this is. I didn't see anything. β
Han Xing ignored Li Dazhong and said happily to Chen Ping: "Whether you can break out of the encirclement this time is all your credit?" β
Chen Ping didn't understand, and asked with puzzled eyes: "Our machine farming team is just a burden, how can we have our credit?" β
The tractor quickly retreated to Lanwo, and at this time, the four companies of the Liaotang detachment had already gone to the earthen enclosure and were waiting for the little devil on the earthen enclosure.
Zhang Daqian, Chai Long, and Li Shanting greeted them. Han Xing said to them: "You guys block the devils for a while, these tractors are not buried, I will modify these tractors and turn them into earthen tanks, and they will serve as our assault force for this breakthrough!" β
Zhang Daqian didn't understand for a while: "What, what? Are you going to convert a tractor into a tank? Will it work? Is it easy to change? If you can't get it right, don't get into trouble. β
Chai Long didn't understand either: "Tractors are converted into tanks, I'm afraid it's not so easy!" The devil has already arrived, and it's too late to change anything! β
Chief of Staff Li Shanting also said: "We don't even have the simplest electrical welding here, let alone steel plates, how can we change it?" The devil has already arrived, that is, within an hour, the tractor must be modified, or it will be too late. β
At this time, Han Xing came to be arrogant, and shouted loudly: "Okay, within an hour, I will complete the modification of the tank car." Even if we can't change it, we have to break through immediately. β
At this time, except for Han Xing who knew how to change, even Wu Xiaoming, the smartest in the Fifth Company, was kept in the dark. He said to Han Xing: "Commander Han, it's really too late, I'm afraid the conversion of a tractor into a tank is just your wishful thinking, it's really ......."
In order to respect the old chief in front of him, he didn't say mean words. What he meant was that if the modification could not be completed, it would be better to bury these tractors outside the village now, and if the devils rushed in, such good equipment would become an enemy.
Han Xing immediately ordered Wu Xiaoming to say: "Drive all the tractors into the village, isn't there a carpentry shop in the village, just drive to the vicinity of the carpentry shop." β
Under the command of Wu Xiaoming, the tractor marched towards the carpentry house in the village. Wu Xiaoming still didn't understand, and asked Han Xing: "How can it be converted into a tank?" β
Han Xing said to Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong: "Just around the cockpit of the tractor, except for the four bullet holes left and right, all of them are tied with two-inch thick wooden boards, and the bullets will not be able to penetrate." β
When Wu Xiaoming heard this, his mind suddenly opened, in fact, the bullet is really not a big deal, especially the 6.5 mm bullet of the Japanese, the two-inch thick wooden board, plus there is a layer of four-mm steel plate in the cockpit inside, the bullet is really no way at all.
Wu Xiaoming smiled. Li Dazhong was a little dumbfounded and asked, "Where can I find the wood?" β
Before Han Xing could speak, Wu Xiaoming said: "You are really a pig's brain, how many wooden boards are there in Han Yiqu's second-floor building!" The doors and windows of the common people were all pulled by them to repair the stronghold. There are also a lot of wires in the base, and if there is no wire, even if you tie it with rope, you can tie the outside of the cockpit to wood. As for this carpentry shop, I really didn't find it, and I can't remember what happened. β
Han Xing criticized him and said: "I didn't think it wouldn't work!" Every bit of material in this stronghold, if you don't get it right, it's related to the war. β
A few people soon came to the carpentry shop in the village, because at that time, the stronghold was built except for bricks and wood, so the carpentry workshop was very important. In addition to a large number of hand saws and carpenter's hand machines, there is also a chainsaw, which controls the chainsaw, and a small generator.
Without Han Xing's arrangement, Wu Xiaoming commanded. A platoon was responsible for the modification of more than a dozen tanks, and the modification plan was to leave four shooting holes on the outside of the cockpit, and seal all the rest with two-inch thick wooden boards. As for how to seal it, tie it with wire, as long as it can block the enemy's bullets.
Over there, everyone was busy modifying the tank, and here Han Xing was also discussing tactics with Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong. Han Xing said to them: "I have a tank, whether it is offensive or defensive, I want to use tank tactics?" β
Wu Xiaoming supported: "Okay, whether I participate in the tank battle or watch it, it's not once or twice." Let's use tank tactics. β
Han Xing said: "These 30 tractors are enough to equip two companies. I want your fifth company to be the first assault tank company, and Yan Xuewang's fourth company to be the second assault tank company. β
Wu Xiaoming objected: "But Yan Xuewang's fourth company has never participated in tank battles, and it doesn't understand tank tactics at all?" β
Han Xing said: "Then they have to learn a little first, and they have to learn everything." The task of assault is mainly completed by your five companies. β
Wu Xiaoming nodded and said, "Yes!" β
Li Dazhong put forward a request for battle, saying: "Then I will join the first platoon, directly command the first platoon assault, and request that the heavy machine guns be loaded directly in the earthen tanks of the first platoon." β
Han Xing glanced at Wu Xiaoming and was also asking for Wu Xiaoming's opinion. Wu Xiaoming nodded and said, "The first platoon is the spearhead of the whole company's attack, and I agree to install the heavy machine guns of the whole company in the first platoon." β
Han Xing then nodded and said, "I also agree." β
Wu Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "There is another question, where are our mortars installed. β
Han Xing thought for a while and said, "Simply, open a skylight on the cockpit, and we will install the mortar directly on the roof of the cockpit." When the cannon is fired, go up from the skylight and fire the cannon directly, and when the cannon is not fired, withdraw into the cockpit. β
"But we don't have electric welding, so we can't cut the skylight." Wu Xiaoming raised objections and said.
Han Xing thought of this and ignored this point, so he had to say: "Then trouble the soldiers to climb up from the door, fire the cannon on the top of the tractor, or fire the cannon on the ground, and then enter the cockpit after firing the cannon." β
Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong both nodded and said, "Okay, I agree." "Agreed."
The conversion of a tractor into a tank car was completed in an hour. At this time, the gunfire on the east side of Lanwo Village became more and more intense, and needless to say, the little devil's attack became more and more ferocious every time.
When the "newly refitted" tank convoy drove to the east gate again, not only Zhang Daqian, Chai Long, and Li Shanting were dumbfounded, but even the soldiers who were anti-unloading were inexplicable and their eyes widened in amazement.
What kind of chariot is this, it turned out that the tractor that cultivated the land had a bunch of wood tied next to the cockpit, but from all sides of the cockpit, there were black holes with shooting holes, revealing the muzzles of black holes. It's really ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, I have never seen such a tank, it is simply a combination of soil and ocean, just with such a modification, it can be regarded as a tank?
Zhang Daqian still felt deeply impressed by Han Xing's efficiency, and stretched out his thumb and said, "I didn't expect that within an hour, you really succeeded in the modification." β
Han Xing said modestly: "Regardless of the black cat and white cat, if you catch a mouse, you are a good cat." It's a little ugly, but it's still quite okay to deal with the enemy's bullets. Even grenadiers and grenades can cope with it for a while. β
Chai Long was still a little reassured: "I don't know if it can be done in actual combat?" β
Li Shanting was also worried: "If the tank is available, what tactics do we adopt?" β
Han Xing explained his main tactics again, using Wu Xiaoming's fifth company as the first tank assault company and Yan Xuewang's fourth company as the second tank assault company. At this time, Yan Xuewang, who was not far away, interjected: "Director Han, I haven't even participated in a tank battle, let alone seen it, how can I command a tank company?" Besides, even if you have a driver, but these soldiers of mine don't understand anything at all? β
Han Xing said to him solemnly: "Since you have no confidence like this, then okay, don't be this second tank assault company, this task is carried out by the first company." β
Zhang Daxian, the commander of the first company, wasted no time in saying: "Okay, although our company has not seen tank warfare, we can learn, we ask to be the second tank assault company, right?" β
At this time, Li Shaoqing, the instructor of the fourth company, quit, pushed Yan Xuewang and said: "The eldest girl has to have the first time when she gets on the sedan chair, although we have not seen tank battles, but we can learn?" β
Yan Xuewang also regretted it a little at this time, he showed weakness, and then this bad messenger was robbed by the first company. The tank company is better than the infantry company, and it is also majestic, and you have to fight to be the second tank company if you say anything. He then corrected it and said: "I was wrong just now, our fourth company is also a company that has been tested for a long time, we must study hard and strive to be the task of the second tank company, and no one can take it!" β
Han Xing nodded and said, "This is like the words, who has the first time, as long as you are willing to learn, you can make progress in the future." Well, now you will receive 17 tank vehicles right away, and the 2nd Tank Assault Company will be officially formed. β
Yan Xuewang and Li Shaoqing immediately happily received 17 earthen tanks, and all the commanders and fighters boarded a tank for every five people, except for the driver, according to the way the tank company was deployed. There was a rifle sticking out of each of the four directions in the cockpit, and a captain, who was the commander and the spare.
Each vehicle has a crew of 6. The rest of the personnel, of course, are counted as infantry in the tank company, and they move next to the tank car.
At this moment, the sound of gunfire rang out in the west of Lanvo, and the gunfire became more and more intense. After a while, the sentry came to report: "The troops of the Kuomintang Qi Zixiu have rushed over from the west. Connected with the second (infantry) fire! β
