Episode 58 Ruined Girl

In an instant, the poor Lightning-2 tank became a fireball.

The commander and gun commander in the turret came out one after another, grabbed the submachine gun and rolled on the spot, and quickly crawled back against the ground, dodging the machine gun bullets flying over the door of the head, and getting away from the burning tank as soon as possible. They knew that soon the flames would ignite the shells in the rear of the turret, as well as the gas tanks.

A series of explosions began in the turret, and fireballs burst out of the turret's steel skin, carrying thick black smoke from gasoline, like firecrackers lit in the shell of a broken can.

But the huge fireworks also gave cover to the two survivors, as well as the infantry behind, who had to retreat and hide.

The 120-mm mortars were too close to each other, and they were supposed to demolish the buildings and deal with the anti-tank crews in the buildings, and they could not bombard the enemy tanks at close range. Now the armored car is carrying it desperately backwards.

57-mm self-propelled guns came to the front, ready to risk attacking the "Barutu" tank.

This self-propelled gun of the Ming army was called "Steel Crossbow", and the caliber was 57 mm like that of Barutu. The difference is that the Barutu is a tank, and the turret can be rotated at will, so the firing range is better.

The front armor of the Barutu tank was 65 mm thick, and the front armor of the self-propelled gun was only 20 mm thick. But the caliber of the guns on both sides is large enough, and the distance is close enough, whoever hits the other first will have the same result.

The "steel crossbow" bypassed the burning wreckage of the tank and came into contact with the "Barutu", and the distance between the two sides was only a dozen meters.

The "steel crossbow" turned the body awkwardly, trying to align the muzzle of the cannon at the Barutu tank, but the other party simply turned the turret, and it was another shot, and the "steel crossbow" of the Ming army was blown into the sky, leaving only the bare chassis trapped in the sea of fire.

The Barutu tank spewed out green smoke, let out a roar of victory, and its heavy body crushed the rubble, and drove towards the side of the Ming army. There was a cheer in the distance, and the Qing infantry loomed behind it and began to push back with the tank.

The only remaining Ming infantry on this side fought and retreated, taking advantage of the broken walls on both sides from time to time to return fire with anti-tank guns and machine guns. The anti-tank rifle bullets sparked at the "Barutu" and like a tickle, the "woodpecker machine gun" knocked down a few Qing infantrymen, but they then hid firmly behind the tank and hid more tightly.

The reason why these heavy tanks with slow speed, thick armor, and strong firepower are called "infantry tanks" is that although they are not good at penetrating quickly in large depths, this kind of steady and steady advance of the infantry is very suitable.

The "Balutu" seemed to be very interested in taking out the large mortars of the Ming army, roaring and driving at full speed, chasing all the way, and the Qing soldiers behind had to trot to keep up. However, the maximum speed of the road in "Barutu" is only 28 kilometers per hour, and the fastest on this ruin can barely drive to a dozen, which is too slow. And the armored car carrying a large mortar, the maximum speed on the highway reaches 55 kilometers per hour, and it can also drive up to 30 kilometers on the pile of rubble, which is simply beyond the reach of Barutu, and the behemoth was thrown off at once.

There's such a terrible thing driving in the middle of the street, and you can't afford to be left on this street. Fortunately, the streets and alleys of this area were intricate, and this platoon of People's Guard infantry quickly disappeared into the roadside alleys and withdrew to their positions.

……

"At least two 'Barutu' were encountered," Gao Dayi said, putting down the phone and marking it on the map, "one is here, and our people are lucky to dodge it in time." But the other one was very close when it was found, and we lost a Lightning-2 and a steel crossbow. Yes, there is. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang propped up his arm, and the probe stared greedily at the map. Suddenly raised his head and asked:

"So, out of ten of our search detachments, only two enemy tanks were found?"

"Yes, only two were found. …… But this area is relatively large, and we can't just assume that there are only two. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded, and his heart slowly began to get excited.

Of course, it cannot be considered that there are only two. But it won't be much. After all, this is a tank, not a revolver, and a house can hide hundreds. It is estimated that the Qing tanks in the city are within single digits.

He raised his head, looked at Li Gensheng, Gao Dayi and Rommel, rubbed his hands and smiled:

"Then I'll take command myself."

The three uncles looked at each other and smiled, all thinking that they could satisfy the young chief's eagerness.

It's good, it turns out that bullying people feels so cool. The land tank version of the "Encirclement and Annihilation of Bismarck" is about to be staged.

Xiang Xiaoqiang discharged 10 of the 13 Lightning-3s in his hand and divided them into 5 destroyer groups, each group was equipped with two Lightning-2 and 1 57mm "steel crossbow". This resulted in two medium tanks, two light tanks, and one self-propelled anti-tank gun in each group, for a total of five.

In order to facilitate command, he temporarily named the five fighter groups J-1, J-2, J-3, J-4, and J-5.

For example, the second car in the first group is called J-1-2, and the fifth car in the third group is called J-3-5.

Each destroyer group was equipped with a reinforced platoon of 50 men, equipped with 3 Czech light machine guns, 1 "Woodpecker" machine gun, 2 anti-tank guns, 1 flamethrower, 1 60 mm mortar, and a high proportion of submachine guns. That's pretty powerful.

The five destroyer groups, divided into five routes, fought violently into the palm-sized area according to the standard of five vehicles fighting one, and prepared to find the two "Barutu" to fight in groups.

……

In the ruins of Daijia Lane, a "Kubu" medium tank stalled and hid here. The commander leaned out of the turret, looked behind, and frowned:

"I said you should get rid of this girl quickly, she always takes it like this, and there is a war here! …… Tonight, after Nanjing, beautiful women are not just picked. ”

Behind the tank were more than a dozen Qing soldiers, and one of the leading squad leaders scolded with a smile:

"Boot your tank! The brothers fought so hard, and they had to relax. , pretty woman...... It's not easy to find such a little immortal...... No matter how beautiful you are, you can have this beautiful no. ”

This squad leader has the same rank as the commander of the car, and he is not a soldier, so he has no intention of killing him at all.

"***," muttered the commander, "then don't play now, tie it up and hide it in one place, and then it's not too late to come back and get it after the battle......"

", it won't be ours anymore then......"

These Qing soldiers surrounded a beautiful young girl, this girl looked ten years old, her face was full of terror, her clothes had been torn in several places, her hands were tightly bound by thick wires, and there were blood marks.

She leaned against the brick wall behind her, her body shrunk desperately, her hands raised in front of her chest trying to block it, and begged with tears in her eyes:

"Please...... Please, let me go...... I beg you to ......"

The Qing soldiers laughed, and several people forced her into a corner, tearing her clothes, reaching in and touching them, while grinning:

"Yadan, how old are you?"

"Do you have an in-law?"

"Much prettier than her sister......"

The girl kept screaming, her tightly bound hands desperately resisting.

The Qing soldiers who were next to them shouted dissatisfiedly:

"What is the monkey anxious! We're drawing lots here! ”

"You guys get to the back of the line!"

"You bunnies...... Your sister was your first to go up just now! …… So fast again? ”

The dozen or so Qing soldiers took a box of paper cigarettes, cut off half of them, and took turns smoking them in their hands, and from time to time one of them let out a cry of joy.

The commander of the Kubu tank listened to the sound of shells from far and near, and became more and more dissatisfied:

"Hey, why don't you send out some guards? What if the Ming army touches it? ”

The squad leader scolded:

"Touch? What do you do with this tank? One of the three rows of people knocked out two of the Ming army......"

After the Qing soldiers in the back drew lots, the first "lucky one" had red eyes with excitement, and rushed forward, several companions helped him hold the girl's hands and feet, he roared, and pulled the girl's shirt a lot.

With a "bang", the girl's entire sleeve was torn off, revealing her entire arm. The jade-like skin stimulated the beastly desires of the Qing soldiers even more, and they howled and tore again and again, and the girl's cotton jacket and cotton wool flew around, and they were torn naked in the blink of an eye.

The girl bit down on the arm of one of the Qing soldiers. The soldier screamed, clutched his arms and jumped away. The girl pulled out her hands and clung them to her chest, defending what little of her bra was left, and howled in despair.

The tank commander suddenly shouted:

"Hey, don't talk! …… Listen to what sounds! ”

The Qing soldiers behind the tank stopped. After a distant shell exploded, there was a brief silence.

Everyone clearly heard the sound of nearby engines, as if moving slowly laterally. …… That is, tens of meters.

The infantry squad leader of the Qing army also became vigilant and ordered in a low voice:

"Attention all, get ready to fight! …… Sixth, thin man, go scouting! ”

The two Qing soldiers received the order and ran in the direction of the sound with their guns.

The commander put on his headset, listened for a while, and then tried to call:

"I'm Library-132, I'm Library-132...... Ba-324, Ba-324,...... Is that you? …… Where are you located? …… Hear the ...... back"

There was a "sizzle" in the headset twice, but there was no response, and he dared to call out again:

"I'm Library-132, I'm Library-132...... Ba-223, Ba-223, where are you? …… Hear the ...... back"

The headset replied:

"I'm Ku-132, I'm Ba-223...... I was in the B-3 zone, and the Ba-324 was with me. Where are you? ”

The commander was shocked and muttered:

"That's not you. I'm in C-6, far away from you...... I'm going to fight, so I'll get reinforcements if it's convenient. …… If it's inconvenient, I can do it myself. ”

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to the Qing soldiers behind the car and said:

"Follow me!"

Then retract into the turret and close the top cover.

A dozen soldiers cursed nervously, and two soldiers pulled the girl to a broken floor, tied her hands high on the steel bars with wires, and made sure that she couldn't break down, so he pinched her cheeks and said with a smile:

"Wait well, wait for my brother to come back to hurt you after the battle."

The girl's face was pale, her arms were raised high, and the sharp pain in her wrist kept coming, but her heart was temporarily relaxed. She closed her eyes and prayed that a cannonball would blow her up before they returned.

……

The huge "Kubu" tank roared into action, the exhaust pipe spewed green smoke, and the tracks crushed the rubble, and slowly drove forward.

As soon as this side is activated, it is not easy for the Qing soldiers to hear the sound of the opponent's engine. Relying on its armored firepower to outperform its opponents, the "Kubu" tank gave up the opportunity to ambush and went to fight alone in a "dignified" manner.

Suddenly, a man sprang out of the alley on the right, and a large number of "hulala" rifles were aimed at the two of them, startling the two men. At this time, the Qing soldiers saw that this was the "six" who had just been discharged to reconnoitre.

The squad leader roared in a low voice:

"How did you two boys get out of here? The enemy is clearly ahead! ”

The six expressions were frightened:

"It's terrible, we're two streets to the right, and another Ming tank is coming, followed by self-propelled guns! There are also a dozen or so Ming infantrymen! ”

As he was talking, the "thin man" on the left also touched it, and his face was even uglier than the six:

"Squad leader, there are two Ming tanks on the left! One big and one small, it's close! There are also more than a dozen Ming soldiers, all of whom seem to be from the People's Guards, and most of them are armed with submachine guns! There are also people with flamethrowers on their backs! ”

…… That is, there were four enemy tanks, one self-propelled gun.

The sweat on the squad leader's face immediately fell, he wiped the corner of his forehead, and scolded:

"Damn, it's clear that there are a lot of bullies......"

He hurried to the Kubu tank and knocked on the turret with the butt. The commander leaned out, and the squad leader told him the results of the investigation.

The commander's face turned a little pale, licked his lips, and gave the order to the headset, retracting into the turret.

The huge Kubu tank slowly turned, then fell backwards and retreated into a house with a "boom", falling in a body of broken brick dust and a black hole in the barrel pointing outward. The engine was turned off.

Then the commander opened the hatch and leaned out and shouted to the infantry:

"Come in and hide!"

The infantry were about to faint, and it turned out that this big guy wanted thirty-six plans, and "hiding" was the best plan. But none of them wanted to die in vain, and they all rushed into the little house, rifles pointed out the window, and they were on guard.

The commander lay outside the turret, listening in horror to the sound of enemy tanks getting closer and closer. Soon, the sound of tank engines was heard in the other two directions.

Sure enough, the Ming tanks surrounded themselves in three directions.

The commander cursed secretly, the Ba-324 tank had destroyed a tank and a self-propelled gun of the People's Guard, and now the People's Guard had reacted and began to mobilize a large army to "encircle and suppress". On his side, there are only three tanks in the city, and in addition to his own "Kubu" medium, there are only two "Barutu" heavy. My own Qing Army obviously has far more tanks than the Ming Army, so why do you now make it seem that the Ming Army has far more tanks than us.

He wanted to call two other "Barutu" to come for reinforcements, but he was afraid that the call for help would be heard by the Ming tanks and expose his existence.

He grabbed the headset, his palms were sweaty, and his thoughts were quickly struggling whether to take the risk or not. Finally, I made up my mind: call them over. After all, the Ming army still miscalculated, dealing with its own two Barutu and one Kubu, and only sent four "Lightning" and one "steel crossbow", which was obviously far from enough. As long as the three tanks on his side are concentrated, he is sure to destroy these small tanks of the Ming army.

"Ba-324, Ba-223, I'm Ku-132...... I'm in the C-6 area, and now there are four 'Lightnings' and one 'steel crossbow' around, asking for backup. Please reply when you hear it......"

After several shouts, the headset "sizzled":

"Ku-132, I'm Ba-223...... Ming tanks were also found in our vicinity, no less than 6 of them...... Unable to reinforce ......"

The commander of the "Kubu" swallowed dryly, understanding that the problem was serious. In order to deal with their three tanks, the People's Guard sent no less than a dozen tanks.

It's really ruthless, it seems that he really doesn't plan to let himself go......

The Ming tanks are getting closer and closer, and the tank that was first spotted seems to have driven onto this street. In the other three directions, the engine is now clearly heard as well.

The ground trembled slightly, the remnants of glass on the window frames shook clearly, and the floor slabs overhead began to fall dust.

The hearts of the Qing soldiers in the house were all in their throats, praying that the Ming army would not find out.

A Qing soldier suddenly said:

"Oh, by the way, who's going to get that girl!"

A room full of people glared at him, and the squad leader scolded:

"Hell, aren't you? When is it, I can't take care of my life, and I still want to do that? ”

"Well, no," said the soldier, "if she is discovered by the Ming army first, we will die!" ”

Yes! Once the Ming army found that girl, they would immediately know that their group of people was nearby. Then there is no chance at all.

The squad leader immediately ordered the two soldiers to sneak out and carry the girl back.

As soon as the two soldiers opened the door, they heard someone shouting in the distance:

"Come on, there's a civilian here!"

Immediately after that, several more people shouted:

"Ah, it's a young lady! Get rid of it! ”

“…… Okay, don't cry, you're fine, you're safe......"

“…… Miss, is there a clear capture nearby? ”

The Qing soldiers in the room looked at each other, their faces like dead ashes.
