Chapter 55: The Truck Without Gas
Qi Zibin just observed the devil's team, and what he saw was of course the death and injury of the devils, if he looked at his own position now, he could see the appearance of his soldiers suffering heavy casualties. The division commander didn't look at it, as a general who had fought on the battlefield for half his life, and a soldier who had fought with devils for several years, the division commander didn't need to look at it, and he clearly knew the situation of his own troops in his heart.
The devils who were shot were all killed by the soldiers of the 31st Division. Appreciating the results of his troops, the division commander was filled with a happy mood in his heart. Suddenly, in his field of vision, two devils who had been shot and fell almost at the same time caught his attention!
It is common sense that the devils who were killed by the soldiers of the 31st Division, due to the impact of the bullets, always fell in the opposite direction of the 31st Division at the first time when they fell to the ground. However, these two devils fell, but their heads fell in the direction of the devils' advance, that is, the direction of the ninety degree angle where Qi Zibin was, what happened?
Of course, Qi Zibin knew that there was the position of the 500 Army, and he had exchanged telegrams with the commander of the 500 Army over there. If these two devils died under the guns of the soldiers of the 500 Army, the devils should have fallen towards him, but now that the devils have fallen forward, what does that mean? Could it be that someone shot the devil in the back?
Master Qi couldn't understand it, and he couldn't figure it out at all. This is the consequence of the soldiers of the supplementary brigade under Zhao Ziming who released the platoon of guns. The recruits couldn't shoot their heads, and they could shoot anywhere. Even if the general direction is judged correctly, it should be a bullet that is fired straight forward, and after the bullet is discharged, it is very likely that it will fly in a direction other than fifty or sixty degrees. In this case, the devils have all kinds of angles that may not be possible to be shot.
When Qi Zibin went to the front line, the devil's chariot was already halfway over, and he couldn't stop it if he wanted to stop it. So, the commander ordered his soldiers to shoot at the devil from the side, adding casualties to the devil. This kind of subconscious action just happened to be in line with Gao Quan's tactical thinking.
Gao Quan didn't think that the Second Army could really block the Third Division here. Although we now have an absolute advantage, there are too many uncertainties on the battlefield! In particular, it is very difficult for the Japanese army's standing Class A division, such as the Third Division, to defeat it in one fell swoop. Just the huge air support of the Japanese army is not something that the current Chinese army can withstand.
Now, the devil has found a breakthrough on his own, and that's just right! With the embattled strategy, reduce the morale of the devils to a dangerous area. Then forced the modern division of Yamawaki Masataka to squeeze through that narrow opening. This blow to the 3rd Division will be incomparably huge! Even if the devils can escape, I'm afraid they won't be able to act as the main attack force in the next stage of the battle!
Pursuit warfare is not only good at devils, but also good at our soldiers! After listening to the scout's report and Zhao Ziming's report on the battle situation, Gao Quan immediately issued a new stage of battle orders to all troops: all units immediately stopped squeezing and harassing attacks on devils, and all units of the 500 Army quickly adjusted their formations and prepared to pursue the enemy! The devil is starting to run, let's chase after him!
"Supplement the report of Brigade Commander Liu of the 1st Brigade that a truck without fuel was found behind the Japanese army, whether it was blown up or how to deal with it, Brigade Commander Liu asked the military seat to decide!"
When Gao Quan was in the headquarters to reply to the combat reports of various units, the signal corps suddenly reported such a news.
Run-of-gas trucks? The devils threw away the trucks that ran out of fuel? Of course, Gao Quan understood the reason why Liu Qi reported this matter, this kid clearly wanted to get him diesel fuel for him, so that he could drive the truck away without gas! If you don't want to drive away, just a grenade exploded, a few broken trucks, do you still need to report to the military department?
"Order Brigade Commander Liu, send troops to watch the truck first, and the diesel fuel will arrive later!" Most of the troops' transport trucks burn diesel, and Gao Quan knows this very well, and he doesn't think about gasoline at all.
There was really a lot of diesel fuel in the baggage troops of the 500th Army, which was captured in previous battles. The 500 Army itself does not have a few vehicles, and of course these diesel fuels will not be used up, and it seems that Liu Qi is not worried about these belongings in the army for a day or two.
"Jin Hu, Biaozi, let's go, follow me to see the car captured by Brigade Commander Liu." Gao Quan is an idle person, and after listening to Liu Qi's report, he also wants to see the devil's gasless car.
"Order the baggage regiment to transport ten barrels of diesel fuel to Brigade Commander Liu." After giving the last order, Gao Quan went down the mountain with dozens of guards and soldiers.
Naturally, there were soldiers from the reconnaissance regiment on the road to guide the way, and Gao Quan was not afraid that he would not be able to find Liu Qi and his troops. Along the way, all I saw was a decadent scene after the Great War. The corpses of soldiers of the two armies crisscrossed each other, overlapping each other. Burnt flags, broken rifles, cars that burned after being blown up, broken carts, pack horse corpses, and tattered military uniforms and bedding were everywhere.
There are 500 soldiers of the army who are sorting out and burying the bodies of our soldiers. As for the corpse of the devil, after being looted by the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield, he threw it on the side of the road. There are also soldiers digging big pits over there, ready to give these guys a collective burial.
Throwing corpses into the wild will cause the spread of epidemics, and these Gao Quan have already told the soldiers. Although they were reluctant, in line with the principle that these things can always enrich the land, the soldiers still resolutely carried out the orders of the commander.
"Hello military seat!" Seeing a group of soldiers from a distance, Liu Qi recognized these people at a glance as all from the military headquarters guard company, and hurriedly ran over to salute and say hello. When Liu Qi was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, he was stationed at the division headquarters for a considerable period of time, and he was quite familiar with Gao Quan's guard troops.
"Good. Xiao Qi, take me to see the truck you mentioned. He Liu Qi didn't have to be polite at all, and after Gao Quan returned the salute, he immediately told Liu Qi the purpose of his trip. Words can be said at will, the military salute must be returned, this is the principle of Gao Quan, even if it is a recruit who has just enlisted in the army, as long as he salutes, Gao Quan will definitely return the salute, which is the respect for the profession of soldiers.
"Yes! Seats, please, please. Cars are all over here. Liu Qi led the way, and after passing through the busy soldiers, he walked forward.
In the open space behind this small dirt slope, twenty-five trucks are neatly parked. Five cars in a row, five columns in front and behind, forming a square convoy.
Gao Quan glanced at Liu Qi with strange eyes, walked to the nearest car, pulled the car door and sat in. The car key is inserted well, the key is twisted to start the car, and the sound of the engine idling is clear and clear. Looking at the oil level display table, the index is zero, and sure enough, there is no oil.
How did Liu Qi line up these trucks without a little gas?
