Chapter 220: The Armored Company is dispatched
The tank roared loudly, with a Type 89 tank in front as the lead, followed by three Type 95 tanks in a triangular formation.
Six armored cars followed him, starting with two Type 92 armored cars, and behind these two Type 92 armored cars, there were two Type 91 armored cars, and after repairs by Yin Jinshan and Sun Weiguo, the armored car platoon had six armored cars.
Behind the armored vehicles were cavalry units and infantry in trucks, behind which anti-tank guns and machine guns were towed.
The supply platoon did not follow the operation this time, they remained in the regimental headquarters.
The armored company, led by Sun Weiguo and company commander Yin Jinshan, set off, and they secretly made a detour from the west of the regimental position.
The target of the armored company was in Nantou Village, and Sun Weiguo observed through the telescope, and he knew that the Japanese commander was in Nantou Village.
It was Sun Weiguo's strategy to first defeat the Japanese commander in Nantou Village, and then turn back to clean up the Japanese troops attacking the regimental headquarters.
The armored company has been hidden until now, and it is time for them to appear, the Japanese troops captured Nantou Village, and the troops of the third company were almost completely annihilated, and the Japanese army made the independent regiment suffer great losses, and they naturally had to bear the wrath of Sun Weiguo.
Chen Zhengwei, the squad leader of the guard squad, was close to Sun Weiguo's safety, sitting in the armored car, Chen Zhengwei looked at Sun Weiguo.
He didn't understand it in his heart, if the armored company had been dispatched earlier, wouldn't the troops of the third company have been able to reduce casualties?
After all, Chen Zhengwei is just a squad leader, and his perspective on the problem is naturally different from Sun Weiguo.
"Something you don't understand? You name it, and I'll see if I can help you solve it. ”
Sun Weiguo looked at the puzzled expression on Chen Zhengwei's face, he knew that Chen Zhengwei must have something in his heart, he asked calmly.
Chen Zhengwei looked at Sun Weiguo, he knew that when he left the regiment headquarters, Sun Weiguo shed tears on the way to the reserve position, but Chen Zhengwei didn't dare to say anything about this matter.
Looking at the calm expression on Sun Weiguo's face now, Chen Zhengwei felt that Sun Weiguo's face changed very quickly.
I secretly shed tears before, but now I feel like I'm fine.
He hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said the doubts in his heart, he didn't understand why Sun Weiguo didn't send the armored company earlier.
Sun Weiguo heard Chen Zhengwei's inquiry, and he glanced out through the shooting hole.
The loss of the third company made Sun Weiguo very distressed, he secretly shed tears, but his tears could not be known to other officers and soldiers.
Otherwise, this will have a great impact on morale, how can Sun Weiguo say that he is still an ordinary person, he has feelings.
The third company was almost wiped out, and the brothers in the past were instantly separated by yin and yang, and he was naturally very uncomfortable.
It's just that he must restrain his feelings, and in front of the officers and soldiers, he must maintain a certain demeanor.
It will be the courage of the soldiers, and any emotional moment of the commander will affect the morale of the troops.
"Investing in the armored company too early, the Japanese troops are probably going to take the defensive, we are different from them, they can show their hole cards directly in a generous way, they have a great ability to replenish, but we don't. If the Japanese discovered that we had tanks too early, they would definitely draw artillery to deal with us, and the armored company would have been wiped out, and we would have been gone. ”
Sun Weiguo patiently explained that Chen Zhengwei is the leader of the guard squad, and Sun Weiguo habitually imparts the knowledge he has mastered to him, as for how much he can learn, it depends on Chen Zhengwei's ability.
Wang Erzhu and Zhang Dajun, who followed Sun Weiguo's side at the beginning, are currently platoon commanders, as long as Chen Zhengwei follows Sun Weiguo and learns well, his achievements will definitely surpass Wang Erzhu and Zhang Dajun, after all, Chen Zhengwei has read books and knows how to read.
Previously, the Japanese troops stormed the position of Nantou Village, and if the armored company was dispatched, the Japanese army would definitely have to take precautions, and with the equipment of the Japanese troops, it would naturally not be difficult for them to destroy a few tanks.
But now the situation is different, the two Japanese infantry brigades have been exhausted by the three companies, and they are now throwing all their combat units into the battle to attack the regimental headquarters, and the armored company will definitely be able to take the opponent by surprise when it takes action at this time.
The hole cards should be used at the end to bring a fatal blow to the opponent, and it is very irrational to use the hole cards just after the battle.
What's more, the independent regiment is facing the Japanese army, if they don't exhaust the Japanese army's sharp energy and let them have their own loopholes, Sun Weiguo's hole card The Japanese army really won't take it seriously, and they have a way to destroy the tank.
After Chen Zhengwei listened to Sun Weiguo's explanation, he nodded, and he understood why Sun Weiguo didn't invest in the armored company at the beginning.
The tanks in front began to accelerate, and the armored vehicles began to disperse.
The trucks had stopped advancing, and the deputy company commander Zhao Lin commanded the anti-tank gun platoon, the infantry platoon, and the machine gun platoon to begin to set up positions.
FOUR 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS BEGAN TO BE ERECTED, AND TWO MACHINE GUNS WERE DEPLOYED.
The four Makqin heavy machine guns of the machine gun platoon set up machine gun positions, and the muzzles of the black hole were aimed at Nantou Village.
The armored company was all mechanized, and they quickly detoured back to the flank of Nantou Village.
When they were three hundred meters away from Nantou Village, tanks and armored vehicles began to accelerate forward.
The auxiliary forces began to set up their weapons and prepared for cover.
Cavalry platoons followed behind tanks and armored vehicles, and they were to charge with tanks and armored vehicles.
"Captain, the tank unit found on the left side is our tank unit."
The Japanese troops in Nantou Village soon discovered the tank, and a Japanese second lieutenant immediately came to the side of the captain of the Shaozo Group to report.
After hearing the report of the Japanese second lieutenant, the two captains immediately raised their binoculars to observe the situation.
Seeing that it was their own country's Type 89 tank and Type 95 tank, the two Shaozuo captains couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Could it be that reinforcements from the roundabout troops have come over?" The fourth captain said suspiciously.
"Look at the back, those people are wearing gray military uniforms, it's not good, it's the people of China, they are the troops of China."
The captain of the first brigade held up the binoculars and saw the soldiers of the independent regiment, and he cried out in horror, his face full of stunned expressions.
More than 200 baggage soldiers and communications soldiers quickly began to pick up their rifles and lie on the ground, and they began to shoot at the tanks.
These units did not have any light machine guns or heavy weapons, they only had rifles for self-defence.
"Quick, get the infantry artillery back." The captain of the fourth brigade also saw the soldiers of the independent regiment, and he shouted in panic.
But at this time, the anti-tank guns and machine guns were already aimed at the Japanese infantry artillery positions in the distance.
As the four anti-tank guns and machine guns fired, armor-piercing shells fired at the Japanese infantry artillery positions.
