Chapter Eighty-Nine: Panzer Regiment, Forward!

"Let's go!" The astrology cloud stood on the Peeding tank and gave instructions to the entire tank regiment behind him.

One by one, the soldiers of the Tanbu Regiment either directly boarded the tank and sat on it, or climbed onto the material car of the 1011 Brigade that followed them, in short, they are now trying to increase the speed of the march by all means, which is also the first fully mechanized march in China, of course, the first time in the world.

With an order, the whole team was divided into three directions, namely Shaoguan, Heyuan and Meizhou, each direction had hundreds of tanks and thousands of soldiers and dozens of trucks full of supplies.

Although Xiao Douding's surname is good, marching in this place where there are no standard roads and roads that are not roads, he can neither run the 48 kilometers per hour of the road speed nor the 26 kilometers per hour of the off-road speed. Therefore, in Guangdong, the armored forces are marching at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour.

After several hours of continuous marching, the first and second battalions of the tank regiment finally arrived at Shaoguan, although the soldiers sat on the tank and did not have to walk so hard, but they were quite tired to sit for several hours, and the road conditions were not too good, and there were constant bumps along the way.

"Hello, I'm Qiu Jiyun, deputy head of the 326th Regiment." Qiu Jiyun saw that the tank regiment had arrived, and hurriedly went out to greet him, how could the trainees, who were also graduates of the small black house, not know the power of the armored forces? After receiving the order, Qiu Jiyun was ready to do a big job.

"Senior, I'm the head of the tank regiment astrology, the second phase." Astrology immediately saluted, although Qiu Jiyun's official position is not as high as him now, and he is a main position, but the other party is a deputy position, but everyone who came out of the small black room knows that the first batch of students are all talents, and they are the first batch to receive special attention from the commander-in-chief, so Astrology Yun did not look down on the other party because the other party's position was lower than his own after seeing Qiu Jiyun.

"Hehe, when you get to the army, don't call any senior, the commander-in-chief has already said, our regiment will follow your tank regiment this time, we will go wherever you go. Regiment Commander Li went to the front line yesterday to keep an eye on the troops, and we have a company that is staring at the border, and it is reported that there are about 30,000 troops on the other side, and there are follow-up troops coming to where they are. Qiu Jiyun shook his head, and said two meanings in one paragraph.

Later, Astrology talked with Qiu Jiyun for a while, and then ordered the soldiers to rest and replenish their strength and fuel.

"Regiment Commander, Commander-in-Chief Urgent Telegram!" Xiao Wu, a communications soldier of the tank regiment, ran to the side of the astrology and handed over the telegram that had just been sent from Hainan to the astrology.

Astrology nodded and took the telegram, and then his face slowly became a little dull, what could make the commander-in-chief so angry? Why did the commander-in-chief, who had never liked to put a lot of effort into it, be so angry this time?

"What's wrong?" Because he wanted to discuss the specific arrangements for the war with Astrology Cloud, Qiu Jiyun Suo moved directly to Qiu Jiyun to sleep with him at night, and Qiu Jiyun, who was walking to the door with a bed, saw that Astrology Cloud's face was not very good, and hurriedly asked.

Astrology handed the telegram in his hand to Qiu Jiyun, Qiu Jiyun took the telegram and clicked it, shook his head incessantly, and then said: "Judging from my experience by the commander-in-chief's side for so many years, it must be that the people over there have done something to provoke him, and it will not be too small, otherwise according to the commander-in-chief's temper, he will not be so angry." ”

"The last time the commander-in-chief got angry, and then we went to Hong Kong to fight the British, what happened this time?" The astrology muttered, because in his impression, Wang Lin had never been angry, and once Wang Lin was angry, then something big would happen.

"Regardless of this, it is the duty of the soldiers to obey orders, since the commander-in-chief said so, we will do so, and now all you and I can do is to find a way to minimize our casualties." Qiu Jiyun put his bedding away, lit a cigarette and turned around as he spoke.

"Let me tell you first, after tomorrow, when my troops march, they can only take the brothers of the Tanbu Regiment, and I can't control the 326th Regiment." Astrology put down the telegram and turned to look at Qiu Jiyun.

"Okay, our 326 regiment is all good men, you don't need to take it, two legs can still catch up with you, besides, the Tanbu regiment is specially trained to cooperate with your tank regiment in combat, I don't know which one is light and which one is heavy?" Qiu Jiyun shook his head.

Early the next morning, the troops who came from behind had already arrived, and most of the troops in Guangdong, except for a small number of troops stationed in Guangdong, were also slowly assembling in the three directions of Shaoguan, Heyuan, and Meizhou, and the people in Guangzhou also felt the slightest bit bad, first the city of Guangzhou was blocked a day ago, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and then a large number of troops were transferred.

After about a few minutes, the astrology slowly lowered the telescope, and then looked at the map again, and finally confirmed whether his battle plan was correct.

"Attack!" Astrology kicked the steel plate under the chariot with his foot, signaled the driver to drive to attack, and then went directly into the chariot, the car of the astrology nebula is not an ordinary combat vehicle, and it is not the same as other chariots, in addition to a 37 cannon on it, there are two fire dragons and a type, and the armor has been increased by one centimeter, the commander's car defense surname can naturally be better, otherwise the commander will lose a lot of casualties on the battlefield.

The chariot was like a wild horse, roaring and rushing to the Qing army camp opposite, followed by 2,000 soldiers of the Tanbu Regiment, their existence is to cooperate with the tank troops, it can also be said that the two arms are established for mutual cooperation, they hide their bodies behind the chariot to the maximum extent, and effectively protect themselves.

"Crazy, crazy, I've never seen someone so crazy, I'm going to die." Jin Cheng, a soldier of the 326th Regiment, lay on his position, looking at the charging tank troops and the soldiers of the Tanbu Regiment in front of him, and muttered.

He didn't know what the tank was, but it seemed that this thing could go on its own, it was a novelty, but he couldn't dare to rush out so boldly just by walking on his own, right? If you want to talk about the army fighting, the 326th Regiment can be called a lifeless unit in the entire Eastern Front troops, but compared with the tank unit and the Tanbu Regiment in front of you, it seems that you still care a little about your own life.

"The companies have adjusted their state and are about to charge." Deputy Wu Tuan of the Tanbu Regiment walked behind a chariot, watching his side get closer and closer to the enemy camp, and immediately reached the distance of charging with all his strength, and then hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind.

In fact, according to the duties of the deputy Wu regiment, he should not personally go to the battlefield, he should be responsible for the command and coordination of the vacancy of the troops and the use of offensive tactics in the back, but because the Tanbu regiment has just been established, this battle is the first time to participate in the battle, and the same as the tank regiment, the deputy of the Wu regiment is really not at ease to stay behind, so he personally took command of the battle, one is to personally experience whether the offensive tactics are flawed, to see if there is a need to improve, the other is to be able to boost morale, ancient and modern battles, as long as the commander rushes to the front line, Soldier morale is naturally needless to say.

Astrology Yun lay in the commander's observation hole and looked at the situation outside, silently calculating the distance between the two sides in his heart, the speed of the chariot at this time was not high, only about ten yards, mainly in order to let the soldiers of the Tanbu Regiment behind save their physical strength, so that they could keep up with the full charge in the back, of course, they did not think that the Qing army on the opposite side could pose any threat to these two hundred tanks, but they needed actual combat to run in tactical cooperation, and they wanted to cultivate the tacit understanding between the soldiers in actual combat, This is the reason why the plan is carried out even when the other side is defeated.

"Fire!" Astronebula counted the distance and yelled at the main gunner, the first shell told the infantry behind that it was time to charge, and the second shell told the rest of the tanks the order to go to war. The command car of the astrology is specially modified, and there are five members in it, although the five people are a little crowded, but it is not to the point where it cannot fight, not to mention that the astrology is only looking at the observation hole inside, and it does not need to move.

The speed of the tank suddenly increased from about ten yards to more than twenty yards, I believe that if it were not for the willingness of the road, they would have driven the chariot at a higher speed, and the soldiers of the Tanbu Regiment behind silently increased their charging speed, and the distance between them and the chariot was always controlled within a certain range.

"Lord Governor, monsters, there are monsters on the other side." A Qing soldier who had just been promoted to a general hurriedly ran to the big tent of the Chinese army and hurriedly reported what he had seen before.

"What's the panic, we have 30,000 troops stationed here, and the other side will not dare to act rashly even if they rely on advanced equipment, not to mention that there is a steady stream of reinforcements coming behind us." Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, sat quietly in the big tent of the Chinese army, what strength of the Hunan army created by Zeng Guofan knows what strength he knows, except for the previous few years after the destruction of the Beiyang army, which was known as the elite of the army, the Hunan army was rebuilt, this time in order to deal with Wang Lin's uprising, the Qing court had to reuse the Hunan army again, after all, the Hunan army's record in pacifying the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is still very admirable, although the Qing court does not want the Hunan army to revival, but this is also a helpless thing, the regular army is not defeated by the enemy, The only way to delay is to let these little guys go to the crotch to delay the time.

"My lord, there are really monsters, they will go on their own." Sam would continue.

"Okay, if you talk about it, the old man will deal with it according to confusing the army." Zhang Zhidong sat in the big tent of the Chinese army as if Mount Tai was pressed and did not bend over. Although he said this, his heart was not much better.

There were 30,000 troops all at once, not to mention that these soldiers had not been trained all year round, and even now they are seriously lacking in firearms, and many of them are still holding large swords and spears in their hands, looking at the opposite side? Each person has an advanced firearm, if it really fights, the three people on his side may not be able to beat the person on the opposite side, there are many opium smokers in the Hunan army, Zhang Zhidong also knows this, but there is no way, he can rely on his prestige to gather these 30,000 people here, but he can't rely on his prestige to make them all quit opium, let alone train a strong army in a short time.

Seeing that the other party had already been overwhelmed by a large army, Zhang Zhidong could only shake his head secretly, secretly thinking in his heart that the Qing Empire might not be able to hold out this time, and it was to blame that Lafayette was too confident and too unaware of absorbing advanced things from the outside world.

"Come on, the old man will personally go to the front line to supervise the battle." Zhang Zhidong stood up, since he couldn't stop it, then let himself die to show his loyalty.
