Chapter 374: Tiger Battle
The front line of Wanjia Town, in the forward command post of the 13th Regiment.
The regiment commander Tian Jin held a telescope and watched as his own troops were attacking, and they continued to fall under the resistance of the army's cross-fire network.
couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "This little devil raised by a son of a bitch is so cunning that he ordered the troops to stop attacking and retreat." ”
…………………… Jinzhou, the front command of the army.
Yoshio Shinozuka was staring at the battle map in front of him with a calm face, when an officer of Osaku strode in with a saber on his shoulder.
He reported to Yoshio Shinozuka: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is a call from the front line of Wanjia Town, and they have repelled the first attack of the Shina people. ”
"Oh? Are we losing much? Yoshio Shinozuka asked, looking up.
"Thanks to your foresight, General, although the people of China carried out heavy bombardment and artillery bombardment of our front-line positions, they did not inflict too many casualties on our troops." Officer Osaku bowed his head and said.
"Yo Xi, inform the front-line troops that they must not be careless, and they need to guard against poison gas and air attacks by the Chinese army." Yoshio Shinozuka said.
"Hay."
………………………… On the grassland in the southeast of Chifeng County, the Reading Armored Division led by Zhang Xudong and Zhang Yi finally arrived at the boundary of Chifeng after a long and rapid march.
If they want to attack Shenyang, they must cross the Yanshan Mountains, pass through Chifeng to Tongliao, and go straight to Shenyang City after running from Tongliao to Zhangwuer.
At this time, Chifeng was under the rule of the puppet Mongol army King De, and as we all know, King De was a puppet Meng who was supported by himself after he invaded the three eastern provinces and Rehe.
The Mongol army he set up, like the puppet army of the puppet state of Manchukuo, was a rebel army.
Since his main focus was on the Jinzhou defense line, he had no time to take care of King De's puppet Mongol army at this moment.
When he learned that the [***] armored troops were coming all over the world, King De almost peed his pants in fright.
The puppet Mongol army in Chifeng County was even more ready to disarm and surrender.
However, to their great surprise, this [***] armored force had no intention of attacking Chifeng County at all.
Go straight around the city and continue north.
Chifeng's puppet Mongol army was stunned, and hurriedly reported the situation to the distant King of Ordosde.
After learning the news, King De, who had already been frightened by the armored division, breathed a deep sigh of relief and directly instructed the defenders in Chifeng County and other places.
As long as [***] does not come to attack them, any actions against them must be ignored and left unchecked.
King De is not stupid, he knows that he is now different, so he began to reserve a way back for himself.
The news of the presence of this [***] armored unit in the Horqin grassland was not reported to Hideki Tojo in Shenyang......
…………………… Wanjia Town Front, 13th Regiment Command Post.
"Division, our artillery and bombardment don't seem to have caused any real losses to the little devils, their firepower is much more fierce than I expected, and the attacking troops have suffered heavy casualties." Tian Jin complained into the phone.
"Commander Tian, Lao Tzu has transferred the artillery regiment, self-propelled artillery regiment, and tank armored regiment directly under you to you, you fucking complain to Lao Tzu, in a word, can you do it? No, Lao Tzu is on the second group! On the phone, Jiang Jun, the commander of the Fifth Division, rebuked him dissatisfiedly.
Tian Jin hurriedly gritted his teeth and said: "No need to change people, no need to change people, master, within twenty-four hours, I will definitely take Wanjia Town!" ”
"Okay, I'll give you twenty-four hours, and if I can't take Wanjia Town, I'll change people." After Jiang Jun finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, Tian Jin walked to the lookout mirror with a gloomy face, looked at the position of the army before the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and let out a helpless sigh.
"Danza, what should we do?" The chief of staff on the side asked.
"I can't think of any good way for a while, I have no choice but to attack, notify the artillery regiment, the self-propelled artillery regiment, aim at Wanjia Town and bombard him for half an hour, and then the armored regiment will send some tanks and armored vehicles to cover our regiment's attack." Tian Jin gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes!" Seeing Tian Jin's resolute attitude, Chief of Staff Wang Xiuwen immediately took the order and left.
Ten minutes later, the tank guns of the artillery regiment, self-propelled artillery regiment and tank regiment directly under the 5th Division opened fire again one after another.
With the battle just now, almost all the firing points of the Japanese army have been exposed, and this time the artillery shelling is more accurate.
"I ...... Boom, boom, boom, boom, "Boom Boom ......Boom" The shells dragged the tail flame of two or three meters long, drew arcs in the sky, and smashed towards the position of the army in Wanjia Town, and exploded on the ground, and a ball of fire rose into the sky, and the smoke quickly spread.
The 105mm howitzer and the 120mm self-propelled cannon fired at the same time, and the scene was very spectacular, and the sky seemed to be covered by a stream of traffic.
Looking down at Wanjia Town from a high altitude, I saw fires and smoke rising everywhere, and the entire Wanjia Town almost turned into a sea of fire.
Some of the devil soldiers hiding in the defensive bunkers made of reinforced concrete could clearly feel the ground shaking violently under their feet.
And those devils who hid in the trenches were even more shaken by the blood and blood of the shock, and the internal organs were shaken.
Some were a little closer to the bullet point, and the devils inside were directly shocked to the point of bleeding to death.
There are even hidden soldiers caves that could not withstand the bombardment of several violent explosions, and collapsed violently, and all the devil soldiers inside were buried alive.
As for the guards who remained in the trenches, they were torn to pieces by the raging shrapnel and air waves, and the mud was scattered everywhere.
Within half an hour, the dense and fierce artillery fire repeatedly plowed back and forth, bombarding the army's Wanjia Town position several times.
When the artillery fire began to extend, Tian Jin immediately ordered the three battalions and an armored company of the tank regiment, which had already been prepared, to attack immediately.
On the sortie position, 16 No. 4 tanks and four Tiger tanks took the lead.
Hundreds of infantry of the third battalion followed behind the tank group with assault rifles, bazookas and flamethrowers on their backs, and launched another attack on Wanjia Town.
As a result of the two fierce shelling by the Chinese army, the minefield preset by the Chinese army in front of the formation has been completely destroyed.
The attack of the three battalions went more smoothly than expected, and the four huge Tiger tanks were at the forefront like steel giants, and the 88mm tank guns roared and spit out fire from time to time, and when they landed on the position of the Japanese army, they exploded violently.
Sixteen No. 4 tanks lined up on the two flanks of the Tiger tank, and the on-board machine guns and 75mm tank guns rained down on the Japanese positions.
The target was the bunkers and bunkers that were still firing stubbornly.
As the distance approached, more and more surviving firepower points began to roar.
"Whoosh...... dense bullets whizzed through the gaps between the tanks, constantly flying over the heads of the soldiers of the Qiao family army who charged with the tanks.
There were also individual soldiers who were unfortunately hit by bullets and fell in pools of blood.
More bullets were obscured by the tank's massive body, and the dense bullets hit the tank's heavy armor with a series of clanging sounds and sparks flying everywhere.
As the tanks approached more and more, from time to time, there were dead soldiers wearing samurai scarves on the positions of the Japanese army, holding explosive bags, and jumped out of the trenches without fear of death, trying to blow up the tank tracks to prevent them from continuing to advance.
However, before they could take a few steps, the quick-eyed infantry of the third battalion of infantry holding assault rifles fired in bursts.
After a burst of gunfire, the devil soldiers who had just jumped out of the trench froze, tilted their heads and fell into a trench in front of them.......
On the battlefield, the guns and bullets rained down, the sound of artillery shook the sky, and the soldiers patronized and fired, and no one paid attention to this detail, that is, there was an anti-tank trench about four meters wide and three meters deep hidden in front of the devil's trench.
The Panzers of the Tiger Tank and the No. 4 Tank also focused their attention on the positions of the troops in front.
When the tank approached the trench, the tankmen could not find that there was an anti-tank trench about four meters wide in front of them because of the blind spot.
"Boom, boom, boom......" four Tiger tanks were the first to fall into this anti-tank trench.
And the worse thing is that the nose of the tank fell diagonally, and the thick barrel was bent because it could not bear the huge weight of the tank.
The parts of the root were even loosened in vain, and the engine was quickly shut down.
The drivers of the other No. 4 tanks noticed the anomaly and quickly braked, which avoided the dangerous situation of falling all.
And at this moment, in the position of the devil who was still suppressed just now.
Suddenly, more than 100 devil death squads wrapped in samurai scarves poured out, holding explosive packs and machine guns shouting "Long live the bullshit emperor", and rushed towards the four temporarily incapacitated Tiger tanks that were deep in the trenches.
"Damn, it's broken, fire with all your might, you must not let the little devil get close to the tank, quick, ask for reinforcements." The commander of the third battalion was furious when he saw this, and he raised his MP44 assault rifle to sweep it away.
The infantry of the third battalion rushed around the tank one after another, fighting to the death.
On the sortie position of the 13th Regiment, Tian Jin and Wang Xiuwen both discovered this sudden change.
"Tuanza, what should I do?" Wang Xiuwen turned his head anxiously and asked.
"Order the engineer company to rush up to me immediately and rescue the four Tiger tanks from Lao Tzu, the Tiger tanks have not been defeated since they entered service, this glorious achievement cannot be lost by our 13th Regiment, quickly, at all costs." Tian Jin quickly ordered.
"Yes!" Wang Xiuwen answered, and quickly walked away.
"Kill Quack, occupy the tanks of the Chinese people, long live the Emperor, kill Quack!" Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, the army immediately attacked in groups.
A devil commander even charged forward with a command knife.
Hundreds of devil soldiers suddenly jumped out of the trenches one after another with explosive bags and machine guns, and rushed towards the four trapped Tiger tanks.
