Chapter 8: The Beginning of the War
The summer weather is extremely hot, and the southern region is like a furnace, with six armored vehicles speeding on dirt roads.
The bodies and wheels of these armored vehicles were already extremely muddy, and even the numbers were mostly obscured by yellow dirt.
Really, it's almost baking people on such a hot day. The command vehicle with two antennas in the middle said over the radio.
No, it's even more fucking hot in this iron shell, and I really regret being this armorer. said the armored car at the head.
Don't complain, just get to the base, drink a bottle of cold drink, lie in the dorm room and blow the fan. Wang Bai in the car at the end said into the earphones that he was lucky to be picked by the officers of the armored unit and became a glorious armored soldier.
Well, full speed ahead for an ice-cold drink. Said the command vehicle.
Half an hour later.
Six armored vehicles drove back to the station, and the armored soldiers quickly climbed out of the armored vehicles.
The leading second lieutenant Guo Yi quickly ran into the command headquarters.
Report to the sir, the search platoon has completed the reconnaissance mission, and there is no enemy around. Guo Yi saluted the colonel of the armored regiment with his legs together.
Well, second lieutenant, you can go back and rest, you can go and get two cases of beer and six roast chickens to rest well, and the war is about to begin. The colonel, looking at the map, said.
It's sir.
On the way back to the dormitory with a beer, a group of soldiers walked by in a procession, and the whole base was no longer bustling with the usual hustle and bustle.
The regiment commander said that the war is about to start, and the time has come for us to be promoted to the rank of officer. Guo Yi raised his beer and said to his subordinates.
Cheers. Soon the armourers had drunk all the beer, leaving only garbage all over the floor.
At dinner, Wang Bai and the others suddenly found that the dinner was much more sumptuous than before, although their previous food was also very good, but compared to today, it was far behind.
The banquet at Landlord Zhang's house was not so good. Wang Bai thought to himself.
Three days later, after several months of training, the new 1st Division packed up its bags, packed its weapons, and announced its departure for the Jiujiang garrison.
Wang Bai's search platoon was the first to be triggered as a reconnaissance force.
Brothers, destroy all those who dare to stand in our way on the way. Guo Yi said into the headphones.
Got it. The subordinates replied.
Head, we are going to fight with Inspector Sun, he has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. Wang Bai said worriedly.
What are you afraid of, can they compare with us? How many broken guns of theirs can beat our chariots? Guo Yi said disdainfully.
yes, but what we're driving is still far from the tanks in the regiment. Wang Bai said with some envy.
Don't worry, one day we'll be able to drive that thing too. Guo Yi said confidently.
The headquarters of the new 1st Division.
Li Fei, who was wearing a straight military uniform and hanging the rank of major general, was staring at the sand table in front of him.
Report to the commander that the armored regiment has entered the territory of Jiangxi and has not encountered resistance for the time being. The communications soldier came and said.
Send a report to the armored regiment that a division of the enemy is stationed a hundred kilometers in front of them, give me a day to deal with it. Li Fei said.
Li Fei, who has anti-sky technology, is more detailed about the enemy's troop deployment than the enemy's commander.
Going to Jiujiang was just an excuse, his goal was to take the whole of Jiangxi, and then expand his troops and turn around to kill the Ning system.
Today's new division has 30,000 troops, hundreds of artillery pieces and more than 100 tanks, which is enough to deal with Commander Sun's troops, and one armored regiment is enough to deal with the right division.
At night, the armored regiment built its position and prepared to attack the next day, before the regiment commander Xiao Han decided to send a search platoon to reconnoitre.
Wang Bai, who was resting on the armored car, could only get back into it with his comrades.
Spread out, search separately, record the enemy's fire deployment, and remember that this is a real war, not a drill. Guo Yi said into the headphones.
Da-da-da, bang-bang. Dense gunfire, the simultaneous opening of light and heavy weapons of the enemy not far away, and the clanging sound of bullets hitting armored vehicles.
Ready to fight, shoot. Guo Yi yelled.
20-mm machine guns and MG34 machine guns on several armored vehicles began to speak.
Knock knock, several Jiangxi soldiers were hit in two by 20-mm shells, their intestines were exposed, and they screamed in despair.
Perhaps because of the nervousness, the first round of shooting obviously did not cause many casualties on the opposite side, and only a few unlucky eggs were hit outside of the dust.
You bunch of shit, how did you fight, did you sleep collectively during training? Guo Yi roared angrily in the headphones.
The armored soldiers who had reloaded their ammunition were no longer nervous, and their heads began to rise, and various fragments of parts flew around on the opposite side of the hit, including some people and firearms.
The opposite side collapsed, threw down dozens of corpses and ran away.
Rush up and grab a few tongues. Guo Yi said, and he secretly regretted in his heart that his command vehicle was not equipped with a machine gun, only an MG34, and he could only watch his subordinates shoot frantically just now.
Sir, we grabbed a few tongues and took them back. Guo Yi reported to the head of the regiment.
Very well, you go and rest. Xiao Han, who looked at the map, said.
After interrogating the prisoners and learning that a division of the Gan army on the opposite side had less than 8,000 men and only a few mortars because of empty salaries, Xiao Han ordered the troops to attack.
Defeat the other side and go to the county town to eat. Xiao Han ordered
Boom, boom, the 150-mm self-propelled guns and the No. 3 assault gun equipped with 105 guns of the armored regiment roared, and according to the order of the regimental headquarters, they ran out of four base shells, and the positions of the Gan army on the opposite side were also blown to pieces.
Attack, shouted the officers with * with steel helmets.
The infantrymen rushed out of their positions accompanied by tanks.
The Gan army on the opposite side was close to collapse at this time, looking at the hordes of tanks lacking heavy weapons, they had no power to fight back, and in less than half an hour, half of their positions had been lost, and more than half of the troops had collapsed or lost contact.
Brothers march. Guo Yi shouted on the radio.
These six armored vehicles also rushed to the positions of the Gan army, ignoring the rout of the enemy army and rushed directly to the enemy's headquarters equipped with antennas.
Division commander, the ironclad car on the opposite side is rushing over, let's go quickly. The guard next to him said anxiously.
Where to retreat, let's not talk about whether the Overseers will spare me if I go back, have we run on two legs to the other for four rounds?
Tell the brothers to surrender. The division commander took off his hat and said.
Brothers on the other side, stop fighting, we surrender. An officer shouted with a white cloth.
Putting down your weapons, Guo Yi poked his head out of the armored car and shouted.
One by one, the desperate-looking soldiers numbly threw down their weapons.
Good guys, there's also a major general here, a bunch of school officers. Boss, we can make a meritorious contribution this time. Wang Bai said excitedly.
