1500 Active Defense
The Japanese reserve force had more than 3,000 people, riding more than 100 trucks, forming a mighty convoy, and the convoy was like a long snake winding and was very conspicuous from a distance, and the observation post of the reconnaissance company spotted them at a glance.
The reconnaissance company immediately made a report to Wang Zhengxian, and Wang Zhengxian said: "Tell the first battalion to resolutely hold the rocky ridge and not let the Japanese army cross the thunder pond!" Tell the 2nd Battalion to go and build a defensive position to the west of Ranshi Ridge to prevent the Japanese from attacking us from that direction. ”
Lin Yuan's troops held the rocky ridge in the northeast of the rocky beach and the open land in the west, so they were not worried about the Japanese army launching a roundabout outflanking of the landing site, that is to say, if the Japanese army wanted to attack the landing field, it could only fight hard and break through the blocking position of Lin Yuan's troops.
After Wang Zheng gave the order, he raised his hand and glanced at his watch, thinking: "It's already one o'clock in the afternoon, according to the plan in advance, the second regiment of follow-up weapons and ammunition and backup should have arrived, why hasn't it arrived yet?" Thinking of this, Wang Zheng first picked up the microphone of the radio communicator and said, "I am Feiying, call Hailong, please answer when you hear it." ”
Shen Xin picked up the communicator and said, "I am Hailong, please tell me when I receive it." ”
Wang Zhengxian said: "Why didn't Flying Eagle No. 2 return home? ”
Shen Xin said helplessly: "They have encountered some trouble when transferring equipment. ”
Wang Zhengxian hurriedly asked, "What trouble did you encounter?" ”
Shen Xin sighed: "The sling of the large transport ship transporting tanks, soldiers, weapons and ammunition has been damaged, and the transfer speed of tanks and soldiers has been greatly slowed down. ”
Wang Zhengxian said: "Division commander, a large number of Japanese troops have already arrived at us, and if there are no reinforcements, we are worried that we will not be able to hold the beachhead." ”
Shen Xin said: "What? Japanese reinforcements arrived? ”
Wang Zhengxian said: "Yes, a convoy of more than 100 trucks of the Japanese army is coming towards us, I am sure that more Japanese troops in Qingjin City are also moving towards us, we are not afraid of being outnumbered, we are worried about the lack of ammunition, although each of our combat units has a reserve of three base ammunition, but once a dozen are fought, it is really difficult to say how much time these ammunition can last." ”
Shen Xin's heart moved, and he said, "I understand, I'll arrange ammunition for you." ”
Shen Xin put down the communicator, contacted the large transport ship, and asked, "How long will your sling be repaired?" ”
The captain replied, "It's hard to say......"
Shen Xin asked: "Your sling can't transport tanks, so can you transport ammunition?" ”
The captain said, "As long as it's less than ten tons of cargo." ”
Shen Xin said: "Okay, don't load tanks and infantry anymore, modify ammunition, load a batch of ammunition as quickly as possible, and send them over while the tide is not receding now!" ”
The captain said, "Okay, I understand. The transport ship then began to load the air-cushion landing craft with ammunition, but before it was finished, the tide had already receded, and the reef was exposed, Shen Xin could only say to Wang Zhengxian: "The next high tide time is nine o'clock in the evening, and then we can send you reinforcements and ammunition, you must hold on until that time." ”
Although Wang Zhengxian had no bottom in his heart, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, we must keep it until nine o'clock in the evening!" Wang Zheng turned off the communicator first, and thought to himself: "According to the little devil's lifeless energy, it will really take a lot of effort not to be eaten by them." ”
Wang Zhengxian thought of this, picked up the microphone of the communicator, and said, "Reconnaissance company, report the location of the Japanese convoy." ”
The reconnaissance company said: "There are still about five kilometers away from the position of our army in Ranshiling. ”
Wang Zhengxian thought in his heart: "Lin Shuai has already told us that only hiding in the trenches in defensive warfare is passive defense, and it is the next strategy for defensive operations. ”
So Wang Zhengxian ordered: "The tank company of the first battalion will immediately take the initiative to attack in the direction of the Japanese convoy!" "The tanks of Lin Yuan's troops can be used as separate units or dispersed to infantry companies as a means of fire support, depending on the situation on the battlefield; in the consolidation stage of the landing field of this landing operation, the tank battalion was split into three tank companies and assigned to the infantry battalion for operation.
The tank unit of the first battalion received the order to immediately dispatch and rushed towards the Japanese convoy, the tank unit chose to take a detour when marching, bypassing several dirt slopes, when they appeared on the flank of the Japanese convoy, the Japanese convoy still knew nothing, ten tanks aimed at the Japanese truck and fired, the tank was only more than 300 meters away from the truck, and the HK-1 fire control system would hardly miss the target at this distance!
Ten high-explosive grenades smashed the Japanese truck, and the shells immediately turned the truck into a large fireball, and some of the people inside were killed at the moment of the explosion, and some were rushed out of the truck and fell to pieces, and the other Japanese trucks stopped at the sight, and the infantry jumped out of the car one after another.
The tank crew was immediately overjoyed when they saw it, and they took the Japanese soldiers who jumped out of the car as targets, and fired light and heavy machine guns together, and some Japanese soldiers were hit the moment they jumped from the cars, and their bodies fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Then I saw a string of tongues of fire erupting from the tail of the cannon-like thing, and a puff of black smoke erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and the commander who was exposed outside the tank immediately said: "It's not good, the Japanese army used a recoilless gun!" "The Japanese army is equipped with recoilless guns, and everyone in Lin Yuan's troops knows about it, so as soon as the commander heard the sound of the Japanese guns, he thought of the recoilless guns.
The commander hid in the tank, grabbed the grip on the inner wall of the tank, and thought that the reactive armor outside could block the Japanese shells, but he didn't expect that after the shock of the explosion, he only felt a sharp pain passing through his chest, and then he didn't know anything, and the gun commander on the side immediately reacted: The Japanese armor-piercing shell penetrated the armor!
However, the gun commander reacted too late, only to hear a loud bang, and the entire tank turret was blown up, and the other tank crews were surprised and thought to themselves: "Oh my God, how can Japanese shells penetrate our armor?" What's going on? ”
Fortunately, only one tank was hit, and the other Japanese shells missed the target one after another, falling on the surrounding ground, blowing up a cloud of dirt, and several did not explode. ”
The tank released a smoke screen and withdrew from the battlefield through the smoke screen, and the tank company commander immediately informed Wang Zhengxian when he returned: "The armor-piercing shells fired by the Japanese recoilless guns can completely penetrate our armor, and one of our tanks was destroyed like this!" ”
As soon as Wang Zhengxian heard this, he secretly screamed in his heart, and thought: "It is said that blessing and misfortune are not alone, and now we are not only besieged by the superior forces of the Japanese army, but the Japanese army also has weapons and equipment that can penetrate the armor, this battle is difficult!" ”
