Chapter 697: The Destruction of the Chariot Wing
The doomsday of the chariot wing "rumbled" and a huge engine roar "sounded in front of the positions of the 2nd Guards Regiment." The soldiers who had just repelled two Japanese squadron-sized attacks immediately stretched out their heads from the trenches that were constantly widening and deepening, "I want to know the specific situation."
"Commander, the little devil has dispatched the tank. And a whole squadron was dispatched at one time, and 12 light tanks "looked at the 12 tanks that were rapidly advancing towards themselves a few hundred meters away, lined up in a straight line." The political commissar lying next to the head of the regiment, Hu Zhengping, reminded with a serious face.
"Seeing that I have just received an order from the division commander, the newly formed 7th Division of the Japanese army behind us, under the attack of our cavalry division, has collapsed on all fronts, and there is a danger that the whole army will be annihilated at any time. If the little devils can't break through our defense line and use their tanks to block the offensive of our cavalry group, then their new 7th Division will really be wiped out. After raising the binoculars in his hand and taking a look at the powerful lineup of the attacking Japanese army, Hu Zhengqing's face did not show any panicked look. Instead, he said with a confident face.
"Political commissar, don't look at the arrogance of the little devils. But, let's not forget, we still have two secret weapons in our hands that we haven't laid out. The correspondent immediately gave an order to Company Commander Zhang in the back, ordering "the battle defense artillery company to enter the position immediately, and after the Japanese tanks entered the firing range, they immediately opened fire", and "it was" regiment commander
"Political commissar, with only one battle defense artillery company and nine battle defense guns" I am not particularly relieved. Next, "there is also one thing that needs you to complete, and immediately gather all the bazooka soldiers in the whole regiment for me, and move on the position, specializing in shooting the fish that slipped through the net of the Japanese tank troops." In a word, "Today I want to turn all the tanks that the little devils are invincible" into iron coffins that cost them their lives, and ...... Hu Zhengping ordered with a resolute face, "The warriors" use our tanks to tear a hole in the defense line of the infantry behind them. Now I order, all the tanks "immediately launch a full-line charge, kill haha", looking at the close "blocking position that still does not move at hand." Inside the tank," the commander of the young commander in charge of the attack, ordered loudly......
In an instant, 12 tanks, immediately increased their full power" with a huge engine roar, and quickly rushed towards their target.
On the blocking position of the 2nd Guard Regiment, under the control of the gunners, one by one the war guns quickly stretched out the muzzles of their black holes from the shooting holes that had been reserved for a long time. Zhang Baosheng, commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company, also rushed into the position at the first time. Then, he raised the telescope in his hand and began to observe the specific enemy situation.
"Company commander, a whole 12 light tanks. However, the little devil is too unqualified, and he actually lined up 12 tanks in a straight line, isn't it obvious that "let our anti-aircraft artillery company be used as a training target?" The instructor next to him spoke.
"Instructor, as far as I know, this is the first large-scale use of tank units by the Kwantung Army since the Northeast Field Army advanced into the Northeast. If nothing else, "in the eyes of the Kwantung Army, our Northeast Field Army simply does not have weapons against tanks." Just "take the 12 tanks in front of you today and give our anti-aircraft artillery company to practice." ”
"Pass my order" tanks do not approach a distance of a hundred meters, and no one is allowed to open fire. According to the pre-war deployment, each anti-aircraft gun was responsible for one tank. After the artillery was fired, "regardless of whether it hit the target or not," immediately move the position to their respective reserve positions, and continue to shoot," company commander Zhang Baosheng decisively ordered Dao Liu, facing the still silent blocking position in front of him, and the 12 tank drivers, after the initial worries, slowly became bolder. At 300 meters, there was still no movement in the opposite blocking position: at 200 meters, the opposite blocking position was "still silent...... and for a while, all the tankers had a happy smile on their faces. In the commander's command, "there was no longer any hesitation", and the horsepower of the tank was directly increased to the maximum. Then, he quickly rushed towards the silent position in front of him.
However, just when all the little devils were carried away proudly, thinking that the Northeast Field Army on the position in front of them had withdrawn from the position in a hurry with their arrival.
A barrage of cannon fire "reached the ears of all the commanders." Immediately after, on the silent blocking position in front of him, nine bright firelight ...... spit out,
"It's not good, Bageya Road, it's a battle defense artillery, and the people of China have a war defense artillery. Quickly, immediately retreat and avoid artillery fire", the frightened commander "ordered the driver in front of him with a frightened face, as if reflexing. However, in the process of fast driving of the tank, no matter how fast the driver reacts in time, it cannot be faster than the speed of the shell. It took less than half a second for the anti-aircraft artillery shell, which had an initial velocity of more than 300 meters, to quickly pass through the flight trajectory of 100 meters. Then, "the tank that slammed into the tank with only a thin layer of protective armor flew its horn, and a huge explosion sounded," and the tank, which was accurately hit by the shell, was immediately enveloped in billowing smoke. Then, motionless "stopped in place alone", how could this be, how could the people of China have war defense artillery. Quickly, immediately retreat, retreat", the young officer who was lucky enough to avoid the first round of artillery fire. Seeing around "a tank squadron that lost more than half of it in just a split second." Officer Shaozo "couldn't bear the fear in his heart any longer, and shouted an order to the driver in front of him."
However, his wish is destined to fail today.
After the fire of the anti-aircraft artillery company was completed, the bazooka man, who was already ready, also "pulled the trigger in his hand mercilessly" under the order of the political commissar.
In an instant, ten rockets with orange tail flames "drew a perfect arc in the air, and smashed accurately on the tank that had fallen into a brief confusion because of the sudden attack."
Another loud explosion sounded, and after the first round of firing from the anti-aircraft artillery company, the entire tank squadron, the only five remaining tanks, "also ignited a raging fire and stopped in place."
Without the cover of the tank, the little devil infantry, who followed closely behind the tank, immediately "suffered a fire-extinguishing blow from the 2nd Guards Regiment." More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns fired intensively, coupled with the continuous fire of dozens of mortar grenadiers. A squadron, nearly 200 little devils, paid the price of more than half of the losses in "just one round of competition". Then, in the case of absolute disadvantage, he had to withdraw from the battlefield in a hurry.
In the whole attack, the Japanese army came and went quickly. In less than 10 minutes, in front of the blocking position, in addition to the wreckage of dozens of tanks that were burning with raging fire, there were only the corpses of the little devils everywhere ......, and the combat staff officer of the general headquarters of the Northern Army was holding a telegram to Liu Hua in front of him, reporting the specific battle situation of each unit.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the commander of the cavalry division Wang reported. The newly formed 7th Division of the Japanese army has retreated on all fronts under the attack of our cavalry group. At present, the entire cavalry division "is dispersing and pursuing the remnants of the Japanese army in battalion units......
"Report to the commander-in-chief, Commander Li reported that the remnants of the new 6th Division of the Japanese army had lost more than half of it under the siege of the two main divisions. At present, the remnants of the Japanese army, more than 6,000 people, have been compressed into a plain area of less than two square kilometers, trapped and waiting for help.
Commander Li reported that the 13th Army had the ability to "solve the ...... of the remnants of the newly formed 6th Division of the Japanese Army" before dawn
"Okay, just solve the two new divisions of the Japanese army. The remaining 20,000 technical troops "will be very easy for us." Where is there any movement in the guard division, now that the two newly formed divisions and regiments are about to be destroyed, I believe that the supreme commander of the Japanese army who is blocked in the middle will definitely not be reconciled," Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction about the unimaginable huge results, and then asked the combat staff officer in front of him.
"According to the report of Division Commander Li. The Japanese army has already dispatched a large number of tanks and infantry and is launching a fierce attack on the positions of our 2nd Guard Regiment. At present, the 2nd Guards Regiment has successfully repelled the first round of the Japanese offensive, and at the same time, successfully destroyed the tank units of a squadron of the Japanese army. ", the operational staff reported.
"Order: The cavalry division will continue to pursue and suppress the remnants of the enemy, and it must be before dawn to completely lose the combat effectiveness of the newly formed 7th Division of the Japanese army. The 28th and 39th main divisions of the 13th Army of the Fifth Corps continued to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the newly formed 6th Division of the Japanese army. Under the condition of reducing the casualties of the troops as much as possible, the new 6th Division of the Japanese army was completely annihilated. The Guard Division, continuing to hold its position, ordered the 1st Guard Regiment to be rebuilt immediately, under the unified command of Comrade Bruce Lee, and blocked the Japanese headquarters, tank wing, reel and heavy wing, and all logistics organs in the encirclement. At the same time, he told Comrade Bruce Lee that a reconnaissance unit should be sent immediately to find the location of the Japanese tank wing. Then, with the cooperation of the heavy artillery division, "the Japanese tank wing was destroyed in one fell swoop." "In the face of the impressive results achieved by the troops. Liu Hua was excited at the same time, "facing the combat staff officer in front of him, he continued to order." ,
"Yes, what about the Director-General......
In the temporary headquarters of the Japanese tank wing, the temporary commander of the Japanese army, Shimoto Daisa, who was responsible for rescuing the newly formed 7th Division and blocking the offensive of the cavalry group of the Northeast Field Army, was furious at the officers in front of him at this moment.
Because of the "just offensive" their own troops not only did not take any advantage, but suffered heavy losses under the opponent's sudden counterattack, and a whole squadron of "porridge tanks" was left on the battlefield. This had to make Shimoto Daisa, who had less than a hundred tanks in his hands, angry and shocked.
"Eight Ge Yalu, the cunning Zhi Na people, actually hide so many battle defense guns. Bastard, don't take revenge "I'm not an imperial samurai when I go down to Motoichiro." Now I order, concentrate all the artillery of the tank wing, and fire a five-minute salvo at the blocking positions in China. In a word, it is necessary to destroy the blocking position of Shina" Five minutes after destroying their anti-aircraft artillery, the remaining two squadrons of the 1st Brigade of the Tank Wing immediately launched an attack", "After a short period of anger, Shimoto Daisa ordered with a decisive face.
"Hayi, Your Excellency Wing Captain............"
The order of Shimoto Daisa, for the current tank wing, is perhaps the wisest order. However, at this moment, he forgot one thing, "that is, in the face of the superior heavy firepower of the Northeast Field Army, they have lost all their heavy artillery." And their own tank wing, as long as they have the opportunity, "is likely to be hit by a covering blow from the heavy artillery cluster of the Northeast Field Army."
Just when the tank wing, all the remaining light tanks, all showing their fangs, began to fire round after round of shells at the positions of the 2nd Guard Regiment.
The Second Guard Regiment was on the ground, facing the explosions that kept sounding around him, and the face of the regiment commander Hu Zhengping not only did not show any displeasure, but showed an excited smile.
"Little devil, just let you be arrogant for a few minutes. In a few minutes, I'll give you a good taste of what it's like to be reprimanded. The corners of Hu Zhengping's mouth immediately showed a sneer.
"The artillery staff immediately calculated the specific location of the Japanese tank wing according to the trajectory of the shells. Then, "report the coordinates to Commander Chen of the Heavy Artillery Division, and hurry up one by one......
"Yes, regiment commander" ......, and with the order of Regiment Commander Hu Zhengping issued, several artillery staff officers immediately began to work.
At the same time, "the heavy artillery division that received Liu Hua's order, more than 70 large-caliber howitzers, under the control of the gunners, began to adjust the new firing elements according to the coordinates continuously sent by the Second Guard Regiment."
"Report to the division commander, all the gun emplacements of the 2nd Regiment of the Heavy Artillery Division are ready for firing at any time............"
"Report to the division commander, all the gun positions of the 3rd Regiment of the Heavy Artillery Division are ready", "Very well, now I order" to shell the target, the Japanese tank wing.
All artillery positions, ten rapid fire "open fire", Chen Guangrong clenched his fists, and commanded loudly at the two regiment commanders in front of him.
"Open the artillery, fire the artillery, boom boom" As soon as the words of division commander Chen Guangrong fell, the huge artillery position "remembered a series of orders. Immediately after that, a series of loud roars began to sound on the artillery positions.
"Woo woo" Japanese tank wing, the five-minute shelling has just ended. Just when the entire chariot wing, under the command of wing commander Shimoto Daisa, was preparing to launch a new round of attack on the blocking position in front of it, which had been bombed into ruins. A loud whistling sound quickly reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield.
For a while, on the entire battlefield, all the veterans and officers who had experienced the bloody battle immediately turned pale. "The first time I reacted, I lay on the ground." Of course, most of the officers, while lying down and hiding, "also gave unconfident orders to the subordinates around them."
Of course, "among the officers in this country, the one who reacted the most violently, and it was no surprise that the commander of the chariot wing, Shimoto Daisa.
The entire tank wing, more than two-thirds of the tank equipment, is gathered here. In the face of the blow of the heavy artillery cluster of the Northeast Field Army, the wing commander Xia Yuan Dazuo was very clear about what was waiting for the outcome of his tank wing.
In the face of the raining cannonballs, Xia Yuan Dazuo's face immediately showed a look of despair. Then, he quickly broke free from the protection of the guards around him, and desperately rushed to the position of more than 60 tanks parked a few hundred meters away. ,
"Boom, boom, boom", "A huge explosion sounded, and Shimoto Daisa had just rushed out of a distance of less than ten meters, and the raindrops of shells" had already fallen. Facing an open plain area with almost no obstacles. The explosion of 150-mm large-caliber shells can be said to have exerted their power to the limit.
A huge explosion sounded, and the flat ground was immediately blasted out of a large crater with a depth of two meters. With the impact point as the center, the soldiers within a radius of tens of meters did not even have time to react. In the midst of the loud explosion, the shocked seven orifices were bleeding "into a soft corpse."
In the face of such a fierce shelling, ordinary soldiers, as long as they are experienced, can still dodge. However, at this moment, the more than sixty tanks gathered together are not so easy.
In the first round of shelling alone, more than half of the shells accurately landed in the Japanese tank cluster. For a moment, in the dense cluster of tanks, a series of explosions immediately sounded.
Tanks that were directly hit by shells were easily torn to pieces in the face of large-caliber howitzers weighing dozens of kilograms, like toys. The tank, which was not directly hit, was tossed to the ground by the huge wave of air generated by the explosion of the shell, and stood there alone.
In just the blink of an eye, the entire tank cluster was directly lying on the stomach by more than 20 tanks. And the remaining tanks, in the face of such a tragic scene in front of them, coupled with the fact that at this moment they "completely lost command and fell into a situation of fighting on their own." The whole position was immediately plunged into chaos.
The tanks that could still be moved "began to rampage through the position completely enveloped by Xiao Yan under the guidance of their respective drivers" in order to avoid the next round of artillery fire.
However, their rampage "not only did not save them, but, to a certain extent, exacerbated their destruction." In the face of the chaotic Japanese tank cluster, the heavy artillery division did not hesitate, and with its fastest firing speed, it continued to smash one shell after another on the Japanese position............
Ten rounds of rapid fire, for a skilled veteran, it only takes less than two minutes to complete the shooting. Two minutes later, the earth-shattering explosions on the Japanese position slowly subsided. The smoke of gunpowder that hung over the position also began to slowly dissipate.
Within two minutes, the Japanese position, which had been hit by more than 700 large-caliber shells, was slowly displayed in front of everyone.
As far as the eye can see, the entire surface of the position "is like the surface of the moon, and there are large craters with a depth of two meters everywhere." As for the corpses of soldiers, the residual value of broken arms can be seen everywhere.
Of course, "this is not the most attractive part.
At this moment, the position of the Japanese tank cluster "more than 70 tanks" has all been lying on their stomachs and "stopped motionless." As the smoke cleared, there were still more than two dozen tanks, shrouded in billowing smoke. What's more, almost 20 tanks were directly torn to pieces, leaving only the chassis of the tanks, telling the world about the intensity of the shelling just now......! ~!
