Chapter 495: Armored Cluster Duel
Qingdao, Taipingjiao Beach.
The 7th Company of the 93rd Regiment occupied a Xiǎo hillside on the edge of the beach, and built three trenches in front and rear on the Xiǎo hillside, and also built two artillery fortifications on the top of the hill, and before the tank regiment and the artillery regiment landed, the two mén37 of the fire support platoon - the battle defense artillery became the only "heavy firepower" that the 7th Company could rely on.
Since the position of the 7th Company was located in a protruding position, it became the support of the whole battalion's defensive line.
The fierce battle was until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the corpses of the ghost soldiers were already lying in front of the 7th Company's position, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and the smell of people after being burned.
Half an hour ago, the Japanese army again organized the strength of two squadrons, and launched a strong attack on the position of the 7th Company under the guidance of the two bean chariots, but in the end it ended in failure, and the two bean chariots were also destroyed, but the only 2mén 37mm anti-aircraft guns of the 7th company were also reimbursed, and the situation became more and more serious.
"Horn." Captain Zhang Yang, the commander of the 7th company, pulled the trigger with a blank face.
At the same time as the gunshots rang out, Cao Ying, a ghost soldier who was retreating from Queen Cang in front, fell down.
When Captain Zhang Yang raised his rifle again, all the devil soldiers had already withdrawn from the shè cheng, Captain Zhang Yang immediately put down the rifle, got up and shouted: "Those who can still breathe, get up for Lao Tzu, hurry up and repair the fortifications" Don't fucking lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, say what about you, dead fatty, pouting for 1 day, what about the ground? "máo six, bring two 咋) people go to the front to collect the bullet yào of xiǎo devils. ”
"xiǎo nine, you go to the regimental headquarters and tell the regimental seat that I only have half a platoon left in the company!"
Company Commander Zhang's orders were issued one by one, and the private who called xiǎo nine reminded him in a bit of a daze: "Company commander, "We still have seventy or eighty people in our company, why is there only half a platoon left?" "How much do you talk about? Just go! Company Commander Zhang kicked xiǎo nine kicks and fell to the ground.
The deputy company commander Qin Ling suddenly said, "Company commander, the brothers of the Air Force are about to return." ”
When Zhang Yang, the company commander heard the sound and raised his head, "I saw that the four Mustang fighters in the sky were lined up in "one", and the zigzag circle circled around the position of the 7th Company, and then turned around and roared towards the south.
Deputy Company Commander Qin slammed the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground and said, "The cannon is gone" and the Air Force has also returned, so it will be difficult to fight in this battle...... "What are you afraid of?" Zhang Yang's eyes widened, and he said extremely fiercely, "In the past, when we didn't have artillery and no air force, didn't we also do the same with Xiǎo devils?" The brothers all listened to Lao Tzu, and when the devil came up, he would beat Lao Tzu to death, and when the bullets ran out, he fought with the bayonet of the dog's day, and when the bayonet was bent, he smashed it with his fist and bit it with his teeth. "Well said. Qin Ling roared angrily, "The xiǎo devil is cast in copper and iron, and the master can chew it too!" "Fucking work, fucking work!" Zhang Yang kicked his foot on Qinling's ass and said, "Repair the fortifications!" Seeing that the brothers of the whole company were working hard to repair the fortifications, Company Commander Zhang proudly turned to a corner where no one was, sat down on the bullet box again, and immediately chōu out of a hard mén smoke and chōu beautifully.
Just as chōu, there was a sudden clanging sound next to it.
Company Commander Zhang turned his head to take a look, only to see that the two aluminum kettles placed on the bullet box were shaking gently, and it was the collision of the two kettles that made this tinkling sound" Company Commander Zhang was stunned, and quickly fell to the ground to listen, only listening for a few seconds" Company Commander Zhang's face changed greatly.
"Tank, the tank of the xiǎo devil is up!" , Company Commander Zhang bounced up from the ground "as if his butt was on fire" and rushed to the position at great speed, while roaring hoarsely, "All attention, all attention!" xiǎo devil came up "xiǎo devil's tank came up, pay attention to the hidden ......"
"All bazookas, gun grenades, all go into the first trench!" "Blast xiǎo group, immediately enter the designated position, be on standby, quickly!" The 7th Company's position suddenly became busy, and the veterans who had survived entered the position one after another.
In less than half a minute, billowing smoke and dust rose on the horizon in front of him, "Immediately, a huge Japanese combat vehicle showed a hideous face from the smoke and dust, Zhang Yang looked through the telescope, and most of the Japanese combat vehicles that appeared in the field of vision were Type 95 light tanks, in addition to a small number of ** old medium tanks.
After roughly counting the number of Japanese tanks, "the flamboyant face suddenly became more and more solemn. More than 80 cars! The devil actually put in more than 80 tanks at one time, which is enough for a tank wing!
"Fuck it!" Zhang Yang hissed and inhaled the cold air in his throat, "Said to Qinling beside him" "The xiǎo devil of the dog day, he really knows how to pick the time, if it is not that it is almost dark, we will return to the air force, and the xiǎo devil dares to dispatch so many tanks at one time, it is simply a live target for our air force, hey." ”
Qin Ling gritted his teeth and said awe-inspiringly: "Company commander" is in trouble this time. ”
"Nothing." Zhang Yang shook his hand and threw the binoculars, and said coldly, "It's a big deal, this hundred catties are here!" After that, Zhang Yang jumped on the outer edge of the trench again, raised his arms and roared angrily: "Brothers, what are you trying to do when you are a soldier carrying a gun, eating food and getting paid?" Isn't it just to be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield one day and serve the country? The devil of the dog day, the tanks and artillery who bullied us can't get ashore "I want to step on our position, but I don't have any!" ", "Fucking put on the bayonet and prepare for the assault!" ”
Zhang Yang knew that in front of the Japanese army's armored clusters, there was no point in holding the position any longer.
If it was only ten or eight Japanese tanks, or it could be killed with bazookas, grenades, or explosive bags, but a guy came up with a tank wing, and the few bazookas, gun grenades, and explosive bags would all be useless, and the bloody body would not be able to resist the torrent of steel no matter what.
There's nothing to think about now, the big deal is death, just fight and leave.
At that moment, the remaining 70 veterans of the 7th Company walked out of the trenches one after another and took up their bayonets.
Company Commander Zhang Yang gritted his teeth, and just as he was giving the order for the whole company to take responsibility, the sound of metal grinding suddenly sounded behind him.
When I looked back in a hurry, I saw that nearly 100 MP medium tanks had been lined up in the side and rear of the 7th Company's position, and they were slowly advancing in depth in an assault formation.
"Tanks, our tanks, our tanks are up!" Dog's day, dry death these dog's day's xiǎo Oriental I grass! ”
"Go back, fucking Lao Tzu go back to the trenches!" Company Commander Zhang escaped death again, hurriedly drove the officers and men of the company back to the position, and immediately grabbed the telescope thrown on the ground as quickly as possible.
Colonel Li Biying's left eye was slightly squinted, and he was using his right eye to observe the Japanese tank in front of him through the scope, and Sergeant Huang Xianqun, the gunner sitting on the right side of Colonel Li Biying, was slightly nervous, although he had excellent results in the exercise assessment, but after all, this was his first time participating in actual combat, and it was impossible to say that he was not nervous, but fortunately, the tank soldiers were different from the infantry, and the technical arms did not have to face each other with the devil soldiers or fight with bayonets like the infantry brothers.
"Sgt., don't be nervous." Colonel Li Biying said indifferently, "Distance, 1200 yards!" ”
Sergeant Huang Xianqun became more and more nervous, and even had green tendons on his hands and arms.
"Distance, 1000 yards!" Having entered the effective process of the M4 medium tank 76-caliber main gun, Colonel Li Biying immediately began to cheer up, and while locking on to the Japanese tank directly in front of him through the sightscope, he yelled at Sergeant Huang Xianqun, "The distance is 900 yards!" At one o'clock, move up two more squares! Beat! ”
Sergeant Huang Xianqun pressed the button hard, and the tank body suddenly shook violently.
Colonel Li Biying said with some regret: "It's a pity that you didn't miss, Sgt. Sgt., you're too nervous." ”
"Twelve and a half o'clock, move down another half a block, 700 yards away!" Colonel Li Biying once again ordered "Fight!" ”
"Boom!" Almost at the same time that Sergeant Huang Xianqun pressed the firing button, the Japanese tank in the sightscope was shrouded in huge black smoke, and after a while, the black smoke dissipated, and Colonel Li Biying's sight revealed the Japanese tank that had been scrapped, and the entire turret of the Japanese tank was torn apart, and the inside was even more messy.
"jīng is indeed hitting!" Colonel Li Biying patted Sergeant Huang Xianqun on the shoulder, "Good job, Sergeant!" ”
"At ten o'clock, a Japanese tank is making a detour around my flank!" After destroying two more Japanese tanks in a row, Colonel Li Biying suddenly yelled at the driver, "Damn, turn around, quickly turn left half a circle and stop it!" Can't let the dog go around our flanks, quick! ”
Compared with the Japanese army's Type 95 or ** type, the M4 medium tank has an absolute advantage in terms of armor protection and firepower, however, the NP medium tank is not without shortcomings, and its biggest disadvantage is that the side armor protection is not effective, and it is easy to be hit by a gasoline engine or fuel tank and catch fire and explode.
In the European theater, the M4 Sherman medium tank was often hit by German tanks, so it got the nickname "Langsen", the so-called "Langsen", is a German lighter brand, meaning that every hit is hit.
If it is rounded to the flank by the Japanese tank, whether it is the 95-type 37-caliber main gun, or the **-type 47-caliber main gun, it is enough to pose a mortal threat to the M4 Sherman medium tank.
The Japanese tanks that tried to detour the flanks finally failed to succeed, and were fiercely overturned by the tank driven by Colonel Li Biying, at this time, the first real tank decisive battle between China and Japan has basically ended, and more than 80 Japanese tanks put into the battle were all destroyed, none of them missed the net, and ** only lost 4 M4, which can be described as a complete victory! On the position of the 7th Company, Captain Zhang Yang and more than 70 officers and men of the whole company had already cheered like a tsunami, as if they had destroyed the Japanese armored cluster, but the officers and men of the tank regiment did not care about celebrating, and immediately launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army's deep position, and the officers and men of the 7th Company immediately received an order from the regimental headquarters to follow on foot.
Off the coast of Qingdao, the battleship "Iowa".
Chief of Staff Liao Yao Tingxing hurriedly walked into the command room and reported to Li Yùlong: "Division, the tank regiment encountered the Japanese armored cluster head-on at the beachhead, and after a fierce battle for half a day, all the Japanese Q tanks were annihilated, and none of them missed the net, and our tank regiment only lost the shed tanks, of which the flail was completely scrapped, this battle can be described as a complete victory!" ”
"What's there to be happy about?" Li Yilong frowned and said, "It's not a real Japanese armored cluster!" ”
Liao Yaoting was speechless when he heard this, and he said for a long time: "Anyway, this is a big victory, right?" ”
Li Yilong shook his head, disapproving: "What is this? Let's wait until Qingdao is taken, and then report to the headquarters. ”
The tank regiment succeeded in forcibly seizing the beach, and won a complete victory in the first tank decisive battle between China and Japan.3 The division finally established an advance base at Taipingjiao, but Li Yilong was not happy at all, because the tank regiment that led the division defeated this time was not actually the real Japanese armored troops, but just the search wing of an infantry division of a certain army.
Since the defeat of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy more than a year ago, the Japanese base camp has shifted its focus to the army, and the newly developed "*" type tanks of the "Japan" have begun to equip a large number of troops, and the main combat vehicles of the 10 tank divisions and regiments organized by the Far Eastern Front of Japan are the "*" type tanks and even the "#" type tanks improved on this basis.
After the Japanese occupied the Far East, they obtained the technology and complete production line of the T-34 tank of the former Soviet Union, and then began to produce and equip the T-34 medium tank in large quantities.
Therefore, the Type **, Type 95, and Type 97 and Type 99 tanks equipped by the Japanese army in North China are just old models eliminated by the Kwantung Army and the Far Eastern Front, and what is there to be proud of if the 31st Division Tank Regiment has won? If you really encounter a Japanese armored division equipped with "*" tanks or lower main tanks, it is really difficult to say whether you will win or lose.
This is also the main reason why Yue Weihan is eager to recover Tianjin and Beiping, and is in a hurry to establish the Great Wall defense chain!
If Tianjin, Beiping, and Datong cannot be used as supports, and the Great Wall of China is used as a barrier to build strong defense fortifications, and when the Japanese armored clusters outside the pass enter the customs in a big way, the situation will not be easy to control.
