Chapter 1926: Encounter II

readx;

The reconnaissance battalion commander An Ruiguang discovered the crisis ahead, and An Jiajun did not abandon the tradition of his comrades-in-arms, and immediately dispatched several armored personnel carriers to meet them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, the place where Tie Gang and Zheng Heng were located, although they were on the edge of the forest area, the trees were still relatively dense, and the armored personnel carrier could not drive into it at all, so they could only circle outside the forest.

"Boom-"

At this moment, the sound of continuous shelling was heard, and almost instantly, a dozen grenades fell in the middle of several armored personnel carriers, exploding, and instantly blowing up deep craters.

One of the armored personnel carriers was unlucky, and was hit directly on the top by a falling grenade, which directly blew away the machine gun shooter and the Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun, and the shrapnel continued unabated, raging wildly inside the armored personnel carrier, igniting a raging fire, and then the ammunition on the vehicle was ignited and detonated.

The armored personnel carrier that caught fire was like a gasoline drum that ignited, and it exploded with a "bang", and as the body trembled violently, violent flames erupted from the cracks of the bursting armored vehicle, and the moving car stopped abruptly and there was no movement.

It is clear that under such a blow, the occupants simply could not survive.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the armored personnel carriers immediately turned around and urgently evacuated, throwing the densely falling shells behind their buttocks, and the arrogant shouts of devil soldiers came from the woods.

"What a fucking fuck!"

Seeing several armored personnel carriers retreating safely from the binoculars, An Ruiguang was glad and muttered a curse. At this time, he heard a commotion beside him, looked back, and immediately understood what had happened, and waved his hand to take away the six officers and soldiers who had been removed and saw that they had lost the squad leader and were clamoring to kill them -- at this time, he must not act rashly, otherwise it would only fill in the lives of more people.

The Japanese apparently hid large forces in the woods. Looking at the density of this artillery fire, it is obviously unwise to touch it hard.

The armored personnel carrier equipped by the reconnaissance battalion belongs to the second generation of products, it has a simple and reliable design, amphibious combat capability, the body is made of thin steel welding, and the front of the hull is equipped with 14 mm armor, which can only block the attack of 7.62 mm caliber bullets, and even 12.7 mm caliber bullets cannot resist, let alone face direct artillery strikes!

At this time, dense Japanese figures appeared around the forest. There are people everywhere you look, and it seems that the devil can't hide it, and finally reveals his hideous face.

At the edge of the dense forest, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was spending all their attention on dealing with armored personnel carriers, Zheng Heng, who was hiding at the bottom of the pit, finally returned to normal, he carefully climbed out of the depression, rolled to Tie Gang's side, quickly pushed the injured squad leader down the depression, and then rolled into the pit, and wiped his face nervously. Looking at the squad leader's bloody wounds, fortunately he didn't hurt the arteries and blood vessels, and quickly took out a large first-aid kit to help the squad leader bandage it.

Tie Gang smiled bitterly and asked the recruit who had saved his life: "Why don't you withdraw with the others?" ”

Zheng Heng scratched his head embarrassedly: "I...... I was just frightened by the fact that you were shot. I don't have the strength to do it! ”

Tie Gang was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed dumbly, and muttered, "I didn't expect to be saved by a recruit", and then helped the steel helmet, propped himself up with both hands, and poked out half of his head to check the movements of the Japanese army. Just then, the whistling sound of a mortar flying through the air was heard, and the forest once again burst into flames.

It turned out that An Ruiguang was unwilling to retreat, and asked the mortar company to aim its guns at the woods to choose a lot of ground to shell, in order to determine where the Japanese artillery was hiding in the woods.

Really. Under the continuous attack of the mortar company, the Japanese commander saw that the scouts of the An Jiajun had returned to the convoy safely, thinking that his preset ambush position had been completely exposed, so he simply broke the jar and broke it. The artillery was used to return fire, and in the terrible whistling, several grenades, which seemed to be aimless, fell around the mortar position and next to the convoy, and the devil's artillery position was completely exposed in front of the reconnaissance battalion.

"Little Japan on Dog Day!"

As soon as An Ruiguang heard the sound of artillery, he immediately turned his head and gave an order: "This is the devil's artillery conducting a test firing, order the mortar company to evacuate quickly, and our convoy will also move the place, or it won't be long before the devil's artillery will adjust and shoot Zhuyuan." Our mortars are not as good as each other's range, and they will be used as live targets. Other than that. Immediately report the coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions to the Air Force! ”

"Yes!"

The correspondent, Sergeant Ko Tadashi, was very busy now, and he quickly reported the coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions. And conveyed the new order issued by Major General An to his battalion commander:

"Battalion commander, the division commander asked us to hold off the Japanese army, the 36th Tank Regiment of the Eighth Division is ten kilometers behind us, and it can rush to us within a quarter of an hour, a bomber squadron that is patrolling nearby will also join the combat sequence in five minutes!"

By this time, the convoy had begun to move.

An Ruiguang turned around and saw the artillery who was dismantling the Zhuyuan device, and was very anxious, the artillery of the little Japanese was getting closer and closer, obviously the shooting Zhuyuan was quickly adjusted, and immediately ordered: "Company Commander Hu, leave those cannons alone, I order you to immediately pick up your weapons and join the battle sequence as an infantry!" ”

The mortar company commander Hu Xuefeng hesitated for a moment and immediately carried out the order.

This artillery company commander, who graduated from the artillery department of the Syrian non-commissioned officer school in 38 years, was very distressed at this time, after all, these mortars had been following the artillery company for a long time, and now they were so reluctant to give up. However, what the army needs is obedience, and he can only obey the orders of his commander unconditionally!

"Boom—"

As soon as the officers and men of the artillery company withdrew from the artillery position, the Japanese artillery shells fell down in dense numbers, and 16 100-millimeter mortars were lying in the smoke-filled craters, which had become a pile of scrap metal.

After the shelling, Hu Xuefeng got up from the ground, his heart pounding, and his face was full of anger. A qualified soldier always takes care of his weapons and equipment as if he were his own child, but now the child has become steel residue under the shelling of the devil, which makes the hearts of all the officers and soldiers of the artillery company full of bitter hatred.

An armored command vehicle with five armored personnel carriers stopped beside the artillerymen, An Ruiguang leaned out half of his body from the back door of the command vehicle, and shouted at the artillerymen under the car: "Get in the car, retreat!" ”

Hu Xuefeng's eyes were red. Said loudly: "Battalion commander, at this time we should move forward and eliminate the little devils!" ”

An Ruiguang was unmoved, and repeated with a cold face: "I don't want to say it a third time...... Get in the car and retreat! ”

"Yes!"

Hu Xuefeng raised his hand and saluted unwillingly, and then quickly rushed to the armored personnel carrier with his people, and then the convoy fled frantically towards the north.

Only thirty seconds later, the Japanese artillery fire came to the place where the convoy had just stopped, and the dense shells continued to fall, blowing up crater after crater.

Retreat to four kilometers in one go. An Ruiguang ordered to stop the retreat.

Although the Japanese artillery bombardment was very fierce, according to the rate of fire and the size of the crater, An Ruiguang judged that the Japanese army was equipped with old-fashioned artillery, which was not very powerful, and the firing range would not exceed five kilometers at most.

Sure enough, the Japanese artillery fire only stopped halfway through the chase.

At this time, An Ruiguang didn't know that about two wings of devils who went south from Harbin urgently took on the important task of blocking the eastward advance of An Jiajun. In order to facilitate the evacuation of the Japanese puppet army in the Changchun area. Looking around Changchun, only Wanbaoshan and the surrounding forest areas have the conditions for ambushes, so the devil soldiers only prepared some anti-tank weapons, and the artillery transferred by train was all old before and after World War I. In this way, even if the blocking fails, it is not a pity to throw it away.

In the woods, the Japanese army was complacent in repelling the attack of a mechanized unit of the Anjia Army, and temporarily forgot about Zheng Heng and Tie Gang who were hiding in the hollow.

Led by the iron squad leader, the recruit Zheng Heng began to check his weapons and equipment, but fortunately, the two of them combined still had more than 160 rounds of ammunition and six grenades.

After inspecting the weapon, Tie Gang took out a wooden-handled grenade tied to his waist and unscrewed the safety cover so that he could run out of ammunition at the last moment. Die with the enemy. In the Anjia army, there is no tradition of being a prisoner, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent is the creed of every officer and soldier!

Just when the Japanese army sent people to check the situation in the hollow at the edge of the forest, Tie Gang, who was wounded in the thigh, and Zheng Heng, a recruit, were lying under the dirt pit and ready to shoot to the death. There was a "buzzing" sound in the sky, and then a terrible air raid siren sounded in the woods.

The two twisted their necks in surprise to look at the sky, only to see fifteen black dots appear in the northern sky, and a squadron of B2 bombers came over the forest in a frenzy.

There was great confusion among the Japanese troops, and the devils who were slowly approaching in a straggler formation at the edge of the forest immediately gave up their plans to explore the hollow and ran quickly towards their own foxholes in the forest. The devils, who had not prepared foxholes, screamed and searched for all the natural bunkers that could be covered.

"Look. It's our plane! ”

Tie Gang stared at the faint flying fox logo on the silver-gray planes in the low sky, and let out a long sigh of relief. said enviously: "It's still the Air Force, it's so easy to go in and out...... The devils must be scared at this time, let's be safe for the time being! ”

Being able to die is naturally a great thing, and Zheng Heng, a recruit who has made up his mind to fight until the last moment of his life, showed joy on his face, relaxed his mood, and watched the performance of the Air Force with the squad leader.

The B2 bombers began to increase their altitude in preparation for the dive bomb drop, and for a time there was no sound on the battlefield except for the terrible roar of the B2 bombers.

The two waited eagerly, waiting for the B2 bombers to bomb the devil's infantry, and then evacuate while the chaos was in place, but the anticipation turned into disappointment, and then into surprise.

It turned out that when the B2 bomber that rose to a high altitude flew over the area where the devil infantry was, it did not dive down and drop bombs, but flew straight towards the back of the forest.

"Okay!"

Tie Gang explained to Zheng Heng with a smile: "It turns out that our bombers are going to deal with the devil's artillery, listening to the huge explosion behind it, it should be the devil's artillery's ammunition that has been detonated, and now our armored combat vehicles have no threat, and they can be killed again!" ”

Tie Gang's prediction was not wrong, at this time, the sky in the north was full of dust, not only the convoy of the reconnaissance battalion that he was looking forward to, but also a wave of majestic tanks swooped towards the forest.

As the tanks got closer and closer, the sound of Japanese howitzer fire did not sound, and it seemed that it was indeed reimbursed under the blow of the wave of bombers just now. As the distance quickly closed, the Japanese anti-tank guns that had been hidden finally opened fire.

The 37 anti-aircraft guns have long been confirmed to be unable to cause damage to the tanks of the An Jiajun, so the Japanese carried 47 mm anti-tank guns this time. This cannon can penetrate 55.6 mm of armor within 100 meters and 43.1 mm of armor at 500 meters, which is a killer weapon carefully prepared by the Japanese army to deal with the tanks of the Anjia Army.

However, the 47 battle anti-aircraft artillery is a very good weapon against armored combat vehicles and armored personnel carriers, but it is powerless to deal with the main battle tanks of the An Jia Army!

Not to mention the Tiger I tank with a front armor of up to 130 mm and a 30-degree inclination protection equivalent to 200 mm, even the Leopard II tank has a 45 mm frontal armor with a 32-degree oblique angle, which is equivalent to 90 mm of protection, and the side armor with a 49-degree bevel is equivalent to 54 mm of armor, which led to another tragedy of the 47 War anti-aircraft guns that the Japanese army thought could cause damage to the tanks of the An Jiajun.

"Bang-"

I heard a loud bang from the Leopard II tank that rushed to the front, and a dent appeared in the front shield of the hit, and the sparks from the friction had not yet dissipated, and the anti-tank warhead that bounced off smashed into the side of the tank and blasted a small bullet mark.

The anti-tank guns fired along the devil's gun, and the gunfire quickly intensified.

The devil soldiers poured ammunition into the advancing tank units of the Anjia Army, but this directly exposed their firepower in the woods, and the muzzles of 200 Leopard II tanks and a small number of Tiger I tanks continued to emit white smoke, and then there was a roar, and the carefully constructed bunkers of the Japanese army were hit one after another, and the stumps and broken arms were thrown into the air along with the dirt, and thick smoke rose from the woods.
