468 coastline
When Fan Ming squinted his eyes, stood on the engine compartment of his Iron Bull armored car, and looked at the coastline in the distance with a telescope, he knew that he might have accomplished a great feat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because he became the commander of the first army of the Ming Empire to rush to the southern coastline of the Korean Peninsula.
It would have been a very dangerous thing to stand still on such a high place on the battlefield, but with the collapse of the Japanese army in the Korean Peninsula region, such a move was adopted by more and more commanders of the Ming Empire, because it was so convenient to reconnoitre.
"I don't know if there are Japanese soldiers in the village, everything has to be done carefully." He jumped out of his armored car, circled the shady side of the vehicle, and spoke to his commanders gathered around the map.
"The 1st Company has the least number of tanks, you are responsible for feints from the east, and once the other side fires, all you have to do is retreat and open the distance...... Do you understand? Fan Ming pointed to a blank piece of paper on the map and opened his mouth to plan an attack.
A simple square is drawn on the white paper, representing a fishing village near the coastline in the distance. On the other side is a small grove of trees, which is also roughly outlined with a diagonal line.
Because the east side of the fishing village was an open field, it was very safe - there were no heavy anti-tank weapons hidden there, so the east side was given to the 1st company with the smallest number of tanks.
There was a problem with the replenishment of armored forces in the Ming Empire, and after a large number of new tanks were produced, they were replenished in other directions.
After all, the war situation on the Korean Peninsula has been decided, and there is not much need to continue to reinforce here. The 1st and 2nd armies are now in dire need of armored vehicles and tanks, and many units are beginning to be seriously understaffed.
Fan Ming's tank battalion had received a large-scale replenishment and rest before, so the strength was still well preserved.
However, along the way to the south, problems such as malfunctions still reduced the number of tanks in his armored battalion to about 30 tanks.
His troops were not the worst, the worst armored battalion, and now they still had 16 tanks and one armored car in their hands - almost half of the troops in Fan Ming's hands.
"The tanks of the 2nd company are approaching the fishing village from the front, you are the main direction of attack, if the enemy opens fire on the 1st company, cover their retreat to a safe place." After arranging the combat mission of the 1st Company, Fan Ming looked at the commander of the 2nd Company.
The commander of the 2nd Company is now the most complete of the entire armored battalion, and he now has 13 tanks in his hands, which is only 2 short of the full number.
So after he got the main attack task, he nodded and replied calmly: "Understood!" ”
"The remaining 3 companies, together with the armored vehicles of the battalion headquarters, are on guard against the woods." Fan Ming finally pointed to the location of the woods covered by the diagonal line on the white paper: "There may be enemy ambushes here, everyone be careful." ”
The commanders of the three companies received their own tasks, and they all returned to their own units and began to simply assign small tactical cover to their own companies.
Don't underestimate this kind of small-scale cover plan, this is the combat experience of mature commanders who have fought on the battlefield.
The reason why the Ming Empire was able to fight so smoothly on the Korean Peninsula was largely due to the experience and preparation of such skirmishes, and it did much better than its opponents.
"Boom!" As the engine started, one after another, the No. 2 tank began to move its huge body, and these tanks passed the armored vehicle that Fan Ming was in and began to drive towards the designated position.
Soon, in Fan Ming's radio headset, there was a report from the commander of the 2nd company that was closest to him: "The 2nd company is already in place, and no abnormal situation has been found in the village." ”
The second closest was in the direction of the woods, and when Fan Ming arrived there on the slightly bumpy armored car, he saw the commander of the 3rd Company leaning against the hatch cover of the tank turret and made a sniper gesture to him.
Fan Ming pressed his hand on the commander of the 3rd Company, signaling him to enter the tank as well, and watching the other party cover the hatch, he also retracted into the armored car.
As a battalion commander, Fan Ming has become accustomed to staying in a relatively safe place, which is the consciousness he should have as a front-line commander, and it is also a good habit to keep himself alive on the battlefield.
After a short wait, the voice of the commander of the 1st company came from the earphones: "I'm in position, I haven't found the enemy now, and I can attack at any time." ”
"Let's attack!" Fan Ming held the radio intercom and gave the order to the commander of the 1st Company to attack, and to the east of the fishing village, the roar of the Weiyuan machine gun on the No. 2 tank sounded.
It's not that Fan Ming and they are too careful, but because in the previous battles, they have encountered a large number of Japanese soldiers hiding in the village.
The closer you get to the coastline, the more common Japanese soldiers become. Many Japanese soldiers who did not have time to evacuate, or who went in the wrong direction, were forgotten in all corners of the Korean Peninsula.
Yesterday, Fan Ming's tank unit lost a tank because it broke into a village where Japanese soldiers were stationed in a daze......
The Japanese soldiers in that village blew up a No. 2 tank with an explosives pack, leaving Fan Ming with the loss of a crew's men.
"Rush! For His Majesty the Emperor! "Hooray! Banzai! "Where the 1st Company attacked, suddenly a large number of Japanese soldiers poured out.
There were many, many Japanese civilians mixed in with the Japanese soldiers, some of whom did not even have guns and were wielding cold weapons such as sabers in their hands.
The Weiyuan machine gun ruthlessly devoured the lives of these Japanese soldiers, knocking them all to the ground as they tried to rush in front of the tank.
The 2nd Company also began to attack at this time, on the one hand, they had to attack the fishing village, and on the other hand, they had to cover the 1st Company to avoid unnecessary losses of the 1st Company.
The side and front were met with the armored forces of the Ming Empire at the same time, and the Japanese soldiers in the village began to disorganize. They also did not have experience in confronting such a powerful tank force, nor did they have a large number of anti-tank weapons in their hands.
Just when Fan Ming thought that he was sure of victory, and was about to watch his men tease the Japanese defenders in the village, take this small fishing village, and report that he had arrived at the coastline, there was also movement in the forest.
One of the tanks of the 3rd Company burst into fire, and the machine gun crackled on the trunk of a tree in the woods.
With the nervous roar of machine guns and the sound of tree branches being broken, the Japanese soldiers with no end in sight rushed out of the forest, I don't know how many times more than in the village.
