Chapter 1654: Tank Support

On the outskirts of Hong Kong, Battle's armored troops were on standby, and the commander of the independent division, General Tang Qiuli, had just been almost restricted by his deputy captain of the special guards, Lieutenant Colonel Fu Qiang, and if it weren't for the dignified general and division commander who took the initiative to compromise, he should be in the armored command vehicle at this moment, and was closely protected by the special guards.

The reason for the matter is very simple, with the attacking troops completing the division and encirclement of the Japanese defense system in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong campaign is basically a foregone conclusion, and it is only a matter of time before Hong Kong is fully occupied.

He said to Zhao Yuhe: "Chief of Staff, do you want to go to the front line and watch the real battle!" City street fighting, but a university question. ”

Of course Zhao Yuhe wants to go, from the east to the headquarters, after being transferred to the division headquarters, he is getting farther and farther away from the sound of gunfire, and he can have the opportunity to observe the battlefield situation closely, of course he will not let it go, a division commander and a chief of staff, the two hit it off, get in the car and are about to leave, Battle's eyes rolled a few times, he wanted to stop it, but he was afraid that he couldn't stop it, he was really worried about his brother's safety, Hong Kong urban area, there are battles everywhere, in case of any accident, how can this happen, he must not regret his death!

was in a hurry and helpless, Fu Qiang, the deputy captain of the special guard team, spoke, his sturdy body was directly in front of the armored command vehicle, and said with a stern face: "I'm sorry division commander, according to the division commander's protection regulations for you, you can't enter the area where the battle is taking place, and the chief of staff, you can't go to a dangerous place, please get off the two commanders, otherwise." I will order the special guard, take coercive measures! ”

Tang Qiuli was stunned, and after coming back to his senses. He said with some displeasure: "Fu Qiang, I order, take your people, follow me immediately, the urban area is already under the control of our troops, and it is in an armored command vehicle, what danger can there be." I'm not a papier-mΓ’chΓ© yet! ”

Actually, Tang Qiuli had his own thoughts, and he was really worried about the mountain tiger. According to the area that the troops are currently controlling, as long as they pass through a few combat areas, they can reach the secret contact point where the mountain tigers are now recuperating from their wounds. He just couldn't give up. If you don't see the mountain tiger safe and sound, you can't eat and sleep by yourself!

Fu Qiang was unmoved, and continued to say sternly: "Division commander." Chief of staff. Please two commanders, abide by the regulations of the division headquarters," After saying this, I still felt that I was not strong enough, and with a wave of my hand, more than a dozen special guards came up.

Fu Qiang looked at Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe. Go and order to the guards: "Execute my orders, if the division commander and the chief of staff." If you act without permission, you will immediately take special security measures, do you understand? ”

Of course, the special guards understand that Captain Fu Qiang, this is responsible for the safety of the division commander, and their own feelings, why not, Qi Qi suddenly agreed: "Yes, captain, resolutely carry out the order, and be ready to enter the special security procedure at any time!" ”

Tang Qiuli stared at Fu Qiang for a long time, smiled and said, "Okay, Captain Fu Qiang, you win, it's okay if I don't go, Yuhe, it seems that we can't go, get off and rest!" ”

A general's division commander, a major general's chief of staff, and two core figures of independent divisions, under Fu Qiang's surveillance, obediently got out of the car, Fu Qiang was still not at ease, and he didn't receive the car keys in his hand, Battle walked over, patted Fu Qiang's shoulder, secretly stretched out his thumb, and praised his face.

Fu Qiang wiped a handful of sweat from his head, and whispered to Battle: "Battle, I was really sweating just now, if the division commander is mad, it will be really difficult to do," they are all old brothers from the northeast to the Indochina Peninsula, and when they talk to each other, they don't hide it.

Battle poked his head and replied in a low voice: "Fu Qiang, you did the right thing, you have a heavy responsibility, you have to learn from Brother Huzi," and if he wanted to say something, the communications staff officer ran back, "Report to the commander, Brigade Commander Liu Hongzhang of the First Brigade of the Corps, and ask to talk to you!" ”

Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe also heard the words of the communications staff officer, the two glanced at each other, Tang Qiuli said: "Yuhe, it seems that Liu Hongzhang is there, he is in trouble, and he asked for the assistance of Battle's tank, and the trouble is not small!" With Liu Hongzhang's temper, he will not pull down his face and ask for help unless he has to! ”

Battle took the walkie-talkie, and after listening to it for a while, he immediately said: "Okay, Brigade Commander Liu, I will immediately dispatch two tank companies according to the direction you specified, and it is expected to arrive within an hour." ”

Tang Qiuli asked, "Battle, it's Liu Hongzhang's troops, and you're in trouble?" Battle briefly explained the situation, "Division commander, let me think about it, I need to personally lead the team, the role of tanks in urban street battles must be summarized in actual combat, this is a rare opportunity!" ”

Tang Qiuli hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, transfer the command, you can personally lead the team, bring a tank battalion, and then belong to an armored car company, in addition, the route of the march should be as much as possible within the area controlled by our troops, 10,000 Japanese soldiers with suicide blasting will not be able to withstand you alone, pay attention to safety!" ”

The tank crew was on standby, and the roar of the tank engine immediately sounded, and Battle, with a tank battalion and a company of armored vehicles, took advantage of the vast night to rush into the urban area of Hong Kong, where gunfire was blaring one after another.

It wasn't until he couldn't see anything that Tang Qiuli retracted his worried gaze and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, send a telegram to Qi Hanzhi, order the special operations detachment, and dispatch a group of more than fifty people to support Liu Hongzhang, to deal with this kind of barricade fortifications, the special operations detachment should be more suitable than Battle's tank!" ”

At more than nine o'clock in the night, Liu Hongzhang, who had been holding his breath for several hours, finally heard the roar of the tank, and when Battle jumped out of the tank, Liu Hongzhang was startled, hurriedly greeted him, and said: "Commander Battle, why are you here in person?" Didn't I just ask for a few tanks, it was approved by the division commander? So many iron guys! ”

Looking at the tank shell, there were traces of burning, Liu Hongzhang glared, and then said: "Good guy, along the way, it's dangerous enough, the little devils are all fucking crazy, and they bite people when they see them!" ”

Battle smiled, on the way here, he encountered several attacks by Japanese stragglers, but they were all grenades and other weapons, which did not pose a threat to the tank at all, the parallel machine guns on the tanks, the heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles, without hesitation, tore these Japanese soldiers who did not want to live into pieces, and fought and walked, but there was no danger.

Battle and Liu Hongzhang were studying tactics, and Qi Hanzhi, chief of staff of the special operations detachment, personally led two groups and more than 100 special combat personnel to support Liu Hongzhang in accordance with the orders of the division commander.

Qi Hanzhi stood upright and saluted, "Report to Commander Battle, Brigade Commander Liu, and Chief of Staff of the Special Operations Detachment Qi Hanzhi, on the orders of the division commander, to lead the team to support the battle here, please give an order from the two commanders!" ”

Liu Hongzhang returned the salute, his face was feverish, and he secretly complained in his heart, "Yes, the trivial matter is making a big fuss, which alarmed the division commander, not only Battle personally went into battle, but even the chief of staff of the special operations detachment rushed to help in the battle, this time, if you don't want to be famous, you can't do it!" Shame on you! ”

The more I thought about it, the more I hated the Japanese soldiers in that building, and the roots of my teeth itched, Battle and Qi Hanzhi were all here to assist Liu Hongzhang, the battlefield commander, naturally Liu Hongzhang, his tactics were very simple, as long as a few tanks were dispatched, covering one platoon of infantry at a time, rushing through the open area in front of the building, and reaching the shooting blind spot of the Japanese soldiers, the task was completed, and the rest, the troops of the first brigade, would naturally be solved.

Battle and Qi Hanzhi exchanged glances with each other, and did not raise any objections to Liu Hongzhang's tactics, if it was about commanding field infantry, in front of Liu Hongzhang, the two were really ashamed of themselves, but Battle had his own ideas.

He said very politely: "Brigade Commander Liu, let me add, for the first attack, we can test the density of the Japanese army's firepower, and the maximum range that the tanks can reach, four tanks attack at the same time, but not accompanied by infantry, what do you think?" ”

Qi Hanzhi also said: "Brigade Commander Liu, I also have an idea, after the tentative attack, the first wave of assault troops will be served by the special operations detachment, and the special operations detachment may be more suitable for such a fortress attack battle!" ”

Liu Hongzhang opened his mouth, he knew that the two commanders who led the team to support him made sense, in this case, it was not the time to have a good face and be competitive, he nodded and said: "It's okay, just do what the two said, but, Chief of Staff Qi, the special operations detachment only needs to occupy the first floor of the building, and the rest is still left to our first brigade to do!" ”

Liu Hongzhang's request was somewhat unreasonable, but both Battle and Qi Hanzhi understood his feelings, after all, it was understandable that more than 20 corpses of soldiers of the First Brigade were lying on the open ground, eager to avenge their subordinates!

Four tanks, rumbling up, the building that had been silent for a long time, like a poisonous snake that woke up after hibernation, showed hideous fangs, all kinds of guns, frantically shooting at the tank, in the night, the bullets hit the armor of the tank, splashing strings of sparks, but did not cause any damage to the tank, the four tanks, continue to approach the building.

The Japanese soldiers in the building were in a hurry, and threw grenades from the windows, "Boom, boom! Even the continuous explosions, bursts of fire, shrapnel hit the armor of the tank, making a "clang" crashing sound, gunsmoke and firelight, flooding the tank, and the hearts of all the fighters were raised!

Liu Hongzhang glanced at Battle worriedly, but found that the major general, who was only in his twenties, had a look of indifference, holding the telescope with both hands steadily, and observing the situation intently.

And at this time, Battle, who was carefully observing, suddenly tightened the muscles all over his body, like a leopard that would pounce at any time, and he found an abnormal situation.
