Chapter 192: The Attack of the Tiger Army
Outside the north gate of Taierzhuang, the military position.
Since the sky had just brightened, the devils were also burying the pot and cooking, and from a bird's-eye view from the sky, it could be clearly seen that wisps of cooking smoke rising from the devils' positions and some orderly soldiers were blindly shuttling back and forth.
At the same time, Zaozhuang, Major General Seya Kai, the head of the Seya Detachment of the Army, led the main force of the 10th Wing and a chariot brigade from Zaozhuang, and at the same time ordered the Wing Commander of the 63rd Wing, Fuei Zhenhei Dazuo, to lead the 63rd Wing to set off from Yicheng and jointly advance to Taierzhuang, preparing to attack Taierzhuang with all their strength, and go down in a battle.
…………………… Taierzhuang Walled City, the position of the 31st Division.
Early in the morning, in order to prevent the Yue army from launching a surprise attack while the defenders were having breakfast, Chi Fengcheng, commander of the 31st Division, accompanied by his attendant adjutant Li Dongming, led the guard company to inspect the forward city defense position.
Panting, he reported to Chi Fengcheng: "Division, report in the direction of my 182nd Regiment and 183rd Regiment, the Tiger Ben Army, which arrived in the early morning, bypassed our army's position not long ago and launched an attack in the direction of the army's position. ”
"What? The Tiger Army launched an attack on the Yue Army? Chi Fengcheng couldn't help but be taken aback, you must know that it is daytime, and the devil's artillery, chariots, and planes can give full play to their power, and choose to attack the devil at this time, isn't that looking for death?
Although the news of the arrival of the Tiger Ben Army had already been known, Chi Fengcheng had already received instructions from his old boss Sun Lianzhong to abide by his duties, and the Tiger Ben Army did not take the initiative to send someone to contact him, so Chi Fengcheng did not take any corresponding measures, let alone know that the Tiger Ben Army would take the initiative to attack the Yue Army.
"Yes! The fighters of the 183 regiment saw with their own eyes the tank armored units of the Tiger Army rumbling past their positions. When the soldier talked about the tank armored unit, his tone was obviously more admiring.
"I have long heard that this tiger army is amazing, and the whole army is mechanized, it seems that the rumors are true!" Li Dongming, the attendant adjutant, sighed.
Ji Fengcheng didn't speak, but pondered something.
Li Dongming asked at the moment: "Master, what should we do?" Do you assist the Tiger Ben Army to attack the Yue Army together? ”
"Let's take a look at the progress of the battle first, what is the combat strength of the Tiger Ben Army, we must know in a battle today!" Chi Fengcheng said and turned his head to the soldiers on the side and ordered: "Order the forward observation post, closely watch the situation of the Tiger Ben Army, and report immediately if there is anything abnormal!" ”
"Yes!" The warrior replied with a bang, snapped forward and saluted, and then turned and took the order to leave.
Seeing the soldiers go down the city, Chi Fengcheng said to Li Dongming, the adjutant of the attendants: "Dongming, report to the headquarters the situation of the Tiger Ben Army taking the initiative to attack the Yue Army." ”
"Yes!" Li Dongming also hurriedly stepped forward to salute and responded loudly.
Just as Li Dongming was about to turn around and leave, a large number of well-equipped [***] troops suddenly drove from the south of the city.
Chi Fengcheng and Li Dongming and other soldiers turned around to look, only to see that this team was neatly dressed, well-equipped, and drove violently outside Taierzhuang City under the guidance of more than a dozen tanks, looking at the large-caliber German-style artillery pulled behind the military truck, Chi Fengcheng and the others couldn't help but gasp, damn, why is the equipment of this tiger army so good.
Even Chairman Jiang's ace Tang Enbo couldn't compare with it, and under the watchful eyes of Chi Fengcheng and other officers and men of the 31st Division, this Tiger Army unit arrived at the north of Taierzhuang City, less than 2.5 kilometers away from the position of the Yue Army, and stopped.
At this time, the army on the opposite side obviously discovered the abnormal situation, and hundreds of devil soldiers began to mobilize one after another, quickly entered the position, and waited for the battle.
On the other hand, in the Tiger Army outside the city, more than a dozen huge tanks lined up to cover the infantry assembly, and the artillerymen also pulled the artillery off the tractor and began to arrange the artillery position.
About half an hour later, more than a dozen large-caliber artillery pieces of the Tiger Ben Army were all arranged, and with an order from an officer, more than 10 large-caliber artillery pieces opened fire one after another, and more than 10 shells flew towards the opposite army position with a sharp and piercing whistling sound.
"Boom, boom!" The cannonball fell into the devil's position, and immediately began to explode violently, and the huge fire suddenly rushed away from the devil's position, and the billowing smoke carried the stump and broken arm of the devil soldier into the air.
The devil soldiers in the opposite position were frightened, screaming and fleeing in all directions, their positions were simple field fortifications, which could withstand the bombardment of 105 German howitzers, and a devil Shaozuo was even more panicked and picked up the telephone to ask for help from his superiors: "Report, our army has been violently shelled by the people, please reinforce!" Please reinforce! ”
The artillery bombardment lasted for about ten minutes, and the position of the Yue army had been repeatedly plowed several times by fierce artillery fire, and it had already fallen into a sea of fire, Jiang Wei, the commander of the first regiment of the third division of the Huben Army who was responsible for directing the attack, put down the binoculars in his hand, and waved his hand to the herald behind him: "Order the second battalion to attack immediately and capture the position of the Yue army." ”
"Yes!" The herald responded with a bang, and immediately took the order and left.
Soon, the two infantry companies of the 2nd Battalion, which were in charge of the main attack, received the order to attack, and under the cover of the machine gun company directly under the battalion and more than a dozen No. 4 tanks, they launched a charge against the gunsmoke-filled position.
"Brothers of the second battalion, rush!" Lieutenant Colonel Du Wenwei, the commander of the second battalion, led the charge with an MP38 submachine gun, and hundreds of soldiers of the second battalion behind him shouted to the sky, swearing to obey each other, and under the guidance of 12 No. 4 tanks, the flood swept towards the devil's position like a broken embankment.
In the process of advancing, the 12 75mm tank guns of the No. 4 tank also opened fire one after another, and the surviving devil soldiers were suddenly subjected to another heavy shelling, with heavy casualties and corpses scattered all over the ground.
It was only when the twelve tanks guided the second battalion to rush into the position of the army without much effort, looking at the blue sky and white flags fluttering in the wind on the position of the army, that Chi Fengcheng and his subordinates at the head of the city reacted from the shock.
"That's too strong, isn't it? The little devils have no power to fight back in front of them at all! ”
"Yes, if Lao Tzu also has such fierce artillery fire and such a powerful tank and combat vehicle cover, they will definitely be able to attack the devil's position."
"It's not that the devil is too weak, it's that the Tiger Ben Army is too strong, I don't know if you have found it, the Tiger Ben Army's automatic firepower is so strong that it far surpasses the devil, under the suppression of tanks and machine guns, the devil can't even lift his head when suppressed, how can he stop their attack?"
A group of subordinates behind Chi Fengcheng exchanged their heads and talked in shock, Chi Fengcheng also opened his eyes, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time, I have to say that the shock given to them by the Tiger Ben Army was still too great, the troops of a regiment were equipped with such fierce artillery fire and armored troops, and the artillery and machine gun units of the regiment itself were also extremely well-equipped.
In addition to envy, Chi Fengcheng even thought, if his 31st Division also had such equipment, why should he be angry with the devil? Even if there is only one regiment, he Chifeng City dares to attack against the devil, killing him with a river of blood, and the sky is dark.
"Okay, don't tout for the Tiger Ben Army too early, this is just a small army of the devils, or it won't be long before the main force of the devils arrives, and that is the real battle." Another officer, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
As soon as this person's voice fell, a deafening shout of killing sounded outside the city, and Chi Fengcheng and the others hurriedly raised their binoculars and looked forward.
Through the telescope, Chi Fengcheng and others found that it turned out that the reinforcements of the Yue army had arrived, and the strength was about a large group, and seeing that their position was occupied by the Tiger Ben Army, the devil reinforcements did not pause at all, and immediately launched an attack on the Tiger Ben Army.
"Kill Quack!" As a devil Nakasa struggled to wield a command knife, hundreds of devil soldiers with bayonets launched a cluster charge against the Tiger Ben Army under the cover of grenadiers and mortars, as if they wanted to recapture the positions captured by the [***] team in one fell swoop.
Due to the sudden arrival of the devil's reinforcements, the Tiger Ben army, which had just captured the devil's position, had not even had time to clean up the battlefield, so it could be said that they were caught off guard, and Chi Fengcheng and the others thought that a close-range white-knuckle duel would break out next.
However, the next scene shocked them again, and those Tiger Army, who had no time to rely on the defense of the position, did not panic at all, but continued to charge forward under the guidance of twelve huge tanks.
Twelve tank and chariot vehicles were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, rampage in the crowd of devils, crushing back and forth, and the soldiers of the Tiger Army who followed behind the tank vehicles seemed to have a submachine gun and machine gun in their hands, aiming at the army is a burst of fierce strafing, and the devil soldiers with bayonets on the bayonets are ready to fight with [***] under the dense firepower, they fall in pieces.
Chi Feng Cheng could clearly see that the two sides were less than fifty meters apart, but in front of the fierce fire of the Tiger Ben Army, the devils couldn't rush up, and they fell down one after another like cutting wheat.
Because it is located in the plain, the devil soldiers are unobstructed, more than a dozen tanks are their nightmare, twelve tank cars lined up and rushed forward, many devil soldiers were directly knocked down and crushed into meatloaf, some devils threw grenades at the tank, but found that the powerful grenades in the past could not even hurt the skin of the man's chariot.
In the end, this battle ended with a complete victory for the Tiger Army, and hundreds of devils were almost wiped out under the powerful firepower of the Tiger Army, and only a few of the devil soldiers who fled in advance were spared.
What surprised Chi Fengcheng and the others even more was that the Tiger Ben army did not stop, and did not even clean the battlefield, so they continued to rush forward with more than a dozen tanks as the front drive, looking at the Tiger Ben army gradually moving away, Li Dongming subconsciously asked: "Shizao, what should we do?" There are a lot of devils outside the city. ”
"Order the troops to leave the city immediately and clean up the battlefield!" Chi Fengcheng is not stupid, those so-called equipment, the Tiger Ben Army can't look down on it, it doesn't mean that he can't look down on it, with these equipment, his troops' combat effectiveness can be improved by more than one grade.
"Yes!" Li Dongming hurriedly responded, and immediately turned around and left.
