Chapter Twenty-Three: Repair the Chariot (Collect!) )

Leng Feng and Cong Hu have been lying in the dead grass on the top of this hill for almost an hour.

There was a dirt road around the corner of their sight, which was a little bumpy, but there were constant cars coming and going, pulling the wounded of the Japanese army.

The artillery fire at the front continued, the fighting never stopped, and the Japanese death toll continued to rise, and it seemed that the Japanese army did not get any benefits.

This is an hour.

At least nearly two hundred wounded soldiers were transported to this "field hospital".

This is also the village called "Xiaohuangzhuang" that Cong Hu said, a place that cannot be found on the military map of the national army.

However, its location is clearly marked on the military map of the Japanese army.

This shows that Japan has long been planning to invade China.

"It's getting dark, and I guess the gunfire will stop in a while." Leng Feng looked up at the darkened sky.

"Big brother, looking at the clouds so thick, maybe it will snow tonight." Cong Hu moved over and said to Leng Feng.

"Big brother, come and see, I found something interesting." Niu Miao handed over the telescope in her hand.

"What?"

"You see, in this direction, the chimney on the left side of the largest courtyard." Niu Miao whispered.

Leng Feng took the telescope and looked at it according to the position Niu Miao said.

Although the sky was dark and the light was severely insufficient, and the chimney looked blurry, behind the chimney, a slender antenna stretched out into the sky.

"It seems that this is more than just a field hospital." Leng Feng put down the binoculars and said.

"Big brother, I think that courtyard is quite heavily guarded, and at least three commanding heights are guarded by Japanese troops." Niu Miao said.

"Well, go up the ladder in the corner of the courtyard on the east side, there is a machine gun position, on the eaves of the main hall, sandbags are padded, the muzzle of the gun is aimed in the direction of the main entrance, and there is a ...... There were at least two squads of guards. Leng Feng observed for a moment, the distance was a little far, some details were not clear, and the light was not strong.

"There are not only radio stations here, but also telephone lines, and it is very likely that it is the forward headquarters of the Japanese army."

"It's normal to put the field hospital with the command headquarters, and you can also use the field hospital as a cover."

"Big brother, listen, the gunfire is much quieter?" Iron Mountain reminded.

Leng Feng turned his telescope and looked in the direction of Shidong Mountain, the sound of gunfire and explosions was much sparse, but he could still see the smoke of gunpowder.

Click......

A few minutes later, four or five Japanese tanks drove towards the small village, looking very embarrassed, and some of them were still emitting smoke.

Obviously, they didn't get any benefit from this battle.

As soon as it gets dark, the battle is not easy to fight, and the Japanese army itself is not accustomed to night fighting, especially since this is on Chinese soil.

Similarly, the national army also had difficulties in fighting night battles, and both sides had been fighting for a day and were exhausted, and it was really difficult to support them if there were no new forces.

Although the Japanese army had strong troops, there were too many attack points, and the battle line was too long, so it was difficult to deploy troops for a while.

Needless to say, the national army has insufficient troops, the quality of the soldiers is low, the command is a mess, the logistics are in a mess, and the tactics are a mess, and the fight depends entirely on the personal command ability of the commander and the flesh and blood of the soldiers.

The Japanese guard post was placed on the slope of 500 meters at the entrance of the village, and there were also defensive positions at the entrance of the village, and individual trenches were dug on the high ground of the two slopes, and machine guns were erected, and there were no dead ends at 360 degrees.

Choosing such a village as the command headquarters, the commander of the Japanese army put a lot of thought into it.

It's too hard to get into.

But luck comes, and sometimes you can't stop it.

The four chariots in front of them drove slowly towards the village, and finally the Type 89 medium tank with black smoke shook a few times and actually stopped halfway down.

The Japanese tanks in front did not even know that their companions behind them were stopping.

At this time, a group of Japanese infantry came down, one by one dejected, the helmet fell off and the master did not pick it up, this was obviously a defeat, they passed by the tank lying in the nest, did not look at it, and passed directly by it.

The Japanese commander was a little anxious and wanted to find someone to help find a mechanic who repaired the tank to come and help, but the driver who went back came back alone.

The Japanese commander scolded him all the time.

Obviously, the mechanics in the camp were simply overwhelmed, and although the four Japanese tanks in front of them drove back, they were also badly damaged.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the tank commander simply threw the tank down and returned to the camp with his men.

Such a heavy big guy, it's broken, you can't drive it away, you can't carry it, and it's okay to lose it on the road.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, the Chinese soldiers were made up of farmers who had just put down their hoes, let alone drive tanks, and they had never even seen cars, let alone repaired them.

Therefore, they are very relieved, and after tomorrow dawn, they will find a mechanic to repair it.

"I'll go over and take a look, don't move yet." Leng Feng saw that the Japanese troops were gone, and got up and said.

"Big brother, what are you going to do?"

"Let's see if we can get the Japanese tanks up." Leng Feng said, if it wasn't for the damage to the parts, he would still be sure to repair it.

"Big brother, do you know how to repair?"

"Give it a try."

"Big brother, I'll go with you." Iron Mountain volunteered.

"Okay, it's good to have someone to help." Leng Feng nodded, Tie Shan has been dealing with artillery all year round, knows some mechanical knowledge, and it is always good to have someone to help.

Generally, the tank will come with some tools for repair, as long as it is not a particularly complex failure, it can be solved by itself.

Night has fallen.

Leng Feng and Tie Shan came to the Japanese tank.

"Tieshan, I'll go in and get tools, and you can help me look out for the wind." Leng Feng commanded, gently climbed into the tank, entered the cabin, quickly found the toolbox, and took it out.

The engine was lying in the middle of the room, and the engine problem accounted for the majority, but it was not necessarily the case, Leng Feng got out of the car, came to the tail, found the position of the engine, opened the cover, and took the flashlight to observe it carefully.

When Leng Feng was in the Black Sun Group, there was a teacher who specialized in studying Japanese weapons and equipment during World War II, and the Black Sun Group also collected a lot of antique equipment for them to observe and learn.

Therefore, he recognized at a glance that this Type 89 used an air-cooled diesel engine, commonly known as the Type 89B tank.

Based on the black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe in front of the tank's lying nest just now, as well as the sound of irregular gunning, Leng Feng deduced that there may be a problem with the fuel injector.

If it's just the injector that has a problem, it can still be done with a simple solution to make the machine move.

But if it is damaged, it will be troublesome, any machine is different, people can hold on to it with illness, and if the machine parts are broken, it will not work at all.

"Big brother, I checked it just now, and there are still fourteen shells in it, five or six hundred bullets......

"Don't speak, take the flashlight for me, I'm going to disassemble the engine." Leng Feng handed the flashlight to Tie Shan's hand and said.

Under the light of the flashlight in Tie Shan's hand, Leng Feng's movements in his hand were much faster, but fortunately, the devil left the toolbox, otherwise he would have really managed to dismantle it.

"Iron Mountain, get closer." The cold front removes the injector channel.

Under the weak flashlight, Leng Feng carefully checked the injector, there is indeed a problem, there is black carbon deposit on it, this situation is that the fuel injection is not timely, the oil pump is too late, it will produce the engine can not get up, often lying on the nest.

"Iron Mountain, get a steel helmet and pour some diesel fuel from the tank." Leng Feng commanded.

"Oh, good."

If you want to find a gun, it is a little difficult, but you can find a helmet, to no difficulty, this is too close to the battlefield, and helmets are not everywhere?

After a while, Tie Shan brought back a somewhat deformed helmet that had been blown up, but fortunately it didn't pierce the bullet, and it was no problem to hold the diesel.

I don't dare to take much, there is not much diesel in the fuel tank, half a helmet, which is used to clean the injectors. (I haven't repaired the diesel engine, I don't know if it's right or not, if it's wrong, the officials will correct it.) )

More than an hour passed, and Leng Feng was still busy, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Big brother, the flashlight is running out." Tie Shan saw that the light of the flashlight was gradually fainting, and he was afraid that it would go out in a few minutes, so he hurriedly reminded.

The battery technology of this era was too weak, and after a thousand years, a thumb-sized dry cell battery could support lighting for more than three days.

"Soon, soon......" Leng Feng quickly took the injector out of his helmet and shook it a few times.

After drying a little, start the installation.

The light of the flashlight got weaker and weaker, until the last bit of light was gone.

"Tieshan, you turn off the flashlight and turn it on again in a while." Leng Feng said, people who have used old-fashioned flashlights know that there is a process of battery discharge, and after a while, if you turn it on again, it can still be used.

I installed the injector in the dark, with an amazing memory.

"Tie Shan, turn on the flashlight, I'll check." Leng Feng commanded, and Tie Shan turned on the flashlight again, and the orange-red light lit up again.

Although there was light, it only lasted less than a minute before it was extinguished, and the cold front finally checked it at the last moment of extinguishing, and there were no extra parts.

"Alright, go up and start it." Leng Feng exhaled, and after nearly an hour and a half of intense repairs, it was finally done.

Entering the cockpit of the tank, the cold front ignited the engine, failed once, failed twice, and the third time, the engine finally came with a long-lost roar.

"Big brother, it's fixed!" Iron Mountain said excitedly.

"Quick, give Da Niu and Cong Hu a signal and let them come!" Leng Feng ordered.

"Yes, big brother!"

Iron Mountain turned on the tank's front street light as Leng Feng instructed, quickly flashed three times, and then extinguished.

Niu Miao and Cong Hu saw the signal and quickly ran down the hillside.

"Big brother, I really let you fix it, little devil real food." Niu Miao excitedly jumped on the tank and went straight to the machine gun position behind the turret.

It's a pity that the Type 89 tank is not equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun, but an ordinary Type 91 machine gun, a total of two, one in the front and one in the front.

"Big brother, where are we going now?"

"Of course I went to the Japanese headquarters!" Leng Feng smiled, the little devil's defense in Xiaohuangzhuang could stop the national army without heavy weapons, but it couldn't stop their own chariot.

What's more, the Japanese combat units were all confronting the Nationalist army in the direction of Shidong Mountain, and there was a distance from the headquarters.
