Chapter 69: The Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang (7)

"Rush up, rush up! Crush! Xue Feng yelled viciously at the microphone. Ma Guangyun stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the laser tank marked 141 ran over the Japanese position in front like a red-eyed Spanish bull.

This position was used by the Japanese army to block the road, but two piles of sandbags were built on both sides of the road, and a wooden pole was pressed in the middle. With a laser tank weighing more than 30 tons, it was pushed down at the slightest touch.

A screaming devil with his mouth open stood up with a machine gun in his hand, his face completely distorted in fear in the face of the behemoth that came straight into him. He pulled the trigger hard, and the machine gun spewed out dazzling flames, and bullets rained down on SCP-141. One of the headlights of the 141 car was blown out, and the bullet made close contact with the steel plate, sparks flew everywhere, and the bullet flew wildly. "Holy shit!" Ma Guangyun roared angrily, and as soon as the accelerator was sent, he suddenly stepped on it again. Suddenly, 141 slammed into the area with a jump, knocking the devil heavy and crushing him into a meatloaf - the soldiers who followed closely behind could clearly hear the crunch of the bones being crushed, and all of them felt their scalps tingle.

At first, the Japanese army wanted to organize a blockade, but after a squadron of devils was pushed down and killed by a laser tank in the posture of sweeping leaves in the autumn wind, the other devils lost the courage to resist, and the wolves rushed to the pigs, like a group of marmots that blew up their nests.

"Keep up, keep up, run, don't let the devils get close to the tank," Jiang Tai shouted loudly, directing the soldiers to follow closely behind the Xue Feng tank battalion and clean up the devils on both sides for them.

"Dada...... All kinds ......of gunshots rang out in one piece, interspersed with the sound of "boom" explosions from time to time. The raiding troops rushed forward like a storm, tearing through the rudimentary rear flank defense of the 5th Division, and marched forward with great triumph.

At about 4:50, the Japanese army finally recovered from the initial panic, and the Japanese tank unit behind the three trenches on the front line met it with great momentum under the leadership of the captain Suzuki Shoji Shosa. The sky is getting brighter, and all the truths hidden by the darkness are gradually opening up. Suzuki Masaki commanded a "Quirrelo Gai" to shell Xue Feng's 141 Jiguang, and the ** sound of "empty, empty, empty" sounded, and the fireworks from the explosion of several shells engulfed the 141 entirely.

Masaki Suzuki got out of the tank and looked nervously ahead. The "Quirrell Modification" is an improved version of the ** Type Quirrell, which differs from the ** Type prototype in that the high-power engine has been replaced, the armor has also been thickened, and the 57 mm caliber tank gun has been replaced with a 70 mm one. The birth of the "Quirrelo Change" is related to the design data of the Jiguang tank obtained by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's initial idea was to equip the Jiguang tank with a 105 mm caliber tank gun, but the technology could not keep up, so it could only be replaced with a 70 mm caliber tank. The Japanese tank unit has not yet won a victory in the battle with the chariot of the Cadet Army, which makes Suzuki Shoji look forward to and nervously, hoping that he can create this precedent, and at the same time he has a heart to wonder, I don't know if the "Quirrelo Gai" is the opponent of the Jiguang type.

"Boom!" The violent explosion made 141 shake violently like a small sampan in the ocean, and Xue Feng, who was standing beside Zhang Cheng, was caught off guard and fell backwards, he grabbed it casually and grabbed Xiao Han's calf. Before Xiao Han could get into the car, he was hit by several shrapnel in the neck and chest, the carotid artery ruptured, and blood splattered out like a fountain, and he collapsed on the spot.

The body of 141 tilted and finally stopped. Ma Guangyun looked ahead, knowing that the tank had fallen into the crater, he stepped on the accelerator hard, the motor roared, and a smell of diesel fuel permeated the entire body, however, after a metal collision sound, the tank still did not move. "The track is broken!" Ma Guangyun made a judgment.

Xue Feng felt something dripping on his hand, he looked up and saw Xiao Han who was already dead. Xiao Han's hands were still tightly clasped on the machine gun, but his head had already hung down, and the blood completely stained his body red, slowly flowing down his chest and abdomen. Xue Feng felt a cramp in his heart, he grabbed the microphone, pressed the send button, and shouted: "Go up and beat the little devil's tank!" Niu Lin, now you take over my command. Gai Shubao, drive your 145 over, our 141 track is broken. ”

The hit Shina tank did not explode, and was even spitting oil smoke. The smoke cleared, and Suzuki Masaji sighed in disappointment - "Quirrelo" is not the opponent of Jiguang, it seems that his chariot unit will not escape the fate of the entire army. He suddenly shouted to the standard-bearer Yoonkey Ozawa: "Tell the others that if you rush forward, you will crash the chariot of Shina!" Even if the whole army is annihilated, we will have to slow down the advance of the Shina army and buy time for the large army. ”

Ozawa, the standard-bearer, took his place, stood on the tank, and waved the signal flag vigorously with both hands.

The sudden appearance of Japanese tanks slowed down the advance of the tank troops, but Suzuki's strategy of sacrificing his own troops to buy time for Aten Riji failed.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "duh, duh" from the northwest direction, and immediately, dozens of shells smashed into the assault troops. The 1st Brigade suffered heavy losses by surprise, including a communications armored vehicle, and dozens of fighters fell to this round of artillery shelling.

The sudden explosion in the enemy array surprised and delighted Suzuki Shoji, and he shouted, "It's the heavy artillery of the Seya detachment, Ha Luha, and now the Zizhi people have to bear it." Then he hurriedly adjusted the order: "Let everyone slow down and stay here." If the people want to rush over, they must first break through the artillery blockade of the Seya detachment! ”

There was a rumbling sound from the northwest direction, and immediately, the raiding Chinese troops were enveloped in artillery fire. An Teng Liji's extremely ugly face finally eased, the tight skin on his face relaxed, he gritted his teeth and slapped his left palm with his right fist, and scolded angrily: "What is Harada doing, Kei Seya's heavy artillery has discovered the location of the person in China, hasn't he noticed it yet?" ”

Harada was the commander of the artillery unit of the 5th Division. An Teng Liji didn't know what to do, he was killed early by the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade led by Zuo An'an.

While Anteng Liji was looking forward to the power of his artillery unit, Guo Muyi was also looking forward to the role of this batch of artillery. The artillery fire of the Seya detachment was quite fierce, and in this situation, in order to avoid excessive casualties of the Gakuyi Brigade, he could only announce that the troops should avoid the artillery fire first, and in this way, except for the battalion that followed closely the tank troops, the other units of the Gakuichi Brigade would be out of touch with the tank troops. There was a loud "boom", and several fighters fell in pools of blood. Guo Muyi saw this scene in the armored car, his eyes were cracked, and he grabbed the walkie-talkie and roared: "Contact Zuo An'an for me, what is he doing?!" ”

No one responded to him, the communications armored vehicle was blown up, and several staff officers inside collapsed in a pool of blood without exception.

What is Zuo Security doing? He was sweating profusely as he watched the fireworks rising from time to time in the distance, listened to the deafening sound of fighting, and did not dare to wave his hand to give the order to fire.

The distance is too close, and the officers and men of both sides have been completely entangled, and the consequence of this artillery shot is likely to be to blow up the officers and men of both the enemy and us together. He couldn't do that kind of thing.

Suddenly, the sound of "duh, duh" cannon rang out, and dozens of fireballs roared from the west, smashing into the junction of the tank unit and the Xueyi Brigade - a huge fireball rose into the air, and he saw several soldiers being lifted up by the explosion of air, and then scattered like leaves in the wind.

"It's the artillery of the Seya detachment!" Battalion commander Geng Changan said, with an excited face.

Zuo An'an's pounding heart finally calmed down, and he suddenly felt that his hesitation just now might be a good thing. If the artillery of the Seya detachment could be destroyed, then there would be no Japanese troops in the frontal battlefield of Taierzhuang that could threaten the tank troops. He ran to a 150 mm howitzer and said to Cai Hongguang, the platoon commander of the mortar platoon standing there: "Cai artillery, quickly, turn the muzzle, the target, the artillery position of the Seya detachment due west." Cai cannon, are you sure to hit it in one shot? The little devil artillery unit is very powerful, and if you can't hit it in one hit, you may lose the opportunity forever - you know what I mean? ”

Cai Hongguang hates people calling him Cai Cannon, even if this person is a lot of Zuo Security who is many levels older than him. Cai Hongguang was an artillery platoon commander of the former 29th Army, but his ** level was something that even Song Zheyuan had heard of, and the reason why he was not promoted after he arrived at the Cadet Army, and even fell to the mortar half-baked artillery unit, stemmed from his artillery temper.

When the Cadet Corps first began to form a self-propelled artillery regiment, Li Tieshu intended to let him serve as a battalion commander, but considering that he could not read a single word and could not adapt to the modern self-propelled artillery unit at all, he kindly arranged for him to go to the military academy for further study. Cai Hongguang was afraid of studying, so he went to the military academy for further study, but he got into trouble after only three days of class. After he fell asleep in class and was criticized by the instructor by name, he felt embarrassed that he actually the instructor and smashed the young instructor's two front teeth with a fist. This matter made a big fuss, and even Ouyang Yun was alarmed. Li Tieshu had no choice but to put him back in his original unit, but he was originally the commander of the mountain artillery company, but he was demoted by one level, not to mention, and transferred to the mortar artillery unit.

After listening to Zuo An'an's words, Cai Hongguang only glanced at him and shouted loudly at his subordinates: "The angle is 15 degrees, the direction is due west - fast, Wang Mazi, your kid's hands and feet are too slow!" Over there, over there, don't just care about what you have in your hand, get all the guns in order......" The entire artillery position began to echo with his shouts alone, and the cadets of the original mortar platoon were nervously busy, and the left safety belt man followed to help, and after five minutes, all the guns were facing the same direction.

Cai Hongguang was still a little excited, which could be felt from the sound of him ordering the cannons: "Hit-" As he stopped, dozens of cannons were pulled almost at the same time.

"Duh, duh-" Dozens of fireballs were sent away from the flaming muzzles, dragging their brilliant tails towards the artillery positions of the Seya detachment.

At the beginning of the war, Antengliji lost contact with the artillery unit, which made him very worried about his safety. Suddenly hearing the familiar sound of artillery, he looked away from the battlefield and smelled the sound, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously—he took it for granted that Harada had discovered the enemy situation and began to bombard the Shina chariot with heavy artillery.

The unprecedented column of the North China Front Army was equipped with heavy artillery units, in addition to taking into account the needs of attacking fortified positions, and also to deal with the chariot units of the Cadet Army that might appear on the battlefield in Xuzhou. This consideration of the top brass of the North China Front now seems to be so wise, which makes Antengliji's corrupt mood much soothed. However, when the trajectory of the cannonball deviated from his preset trajectory, the old devil's heart sank completely.

They are all veterans, and they can judge the landing point of the shell just by listening to the sound, not to mention the obvious flight trajectory now. It was too obvious that the shell did not hit the Shina tank unit thousands of kilometers away, but fell on the artillery position of the Seya detachment not far away.

This was another turning point in the Battle of Taierzhuang, when the Isogu Division was sluggish for an hour and a half before deciding to support Taierzhuang, Cai Hongguang used his familiar artillery operation skills to destroy the last threat of the Taierzhuang Japanese army to the Jiguang tank with a salvo.

After receiving an appeal for help, Seya Kai quickly analyzed the battlefield situation, and immediately made a decision, leaving two brigades of troops to deal with the enemy counterattack at the west gate, and the other troops immediately reinforced the northwest gate, and he warned his subordinates: The people of China must not be allowed to cut off the connection between their own division and the 5th Division, otherwise there is a danger of being divided and encircled. At the same time, he personally ran to the artillery position and commanded his men to begin to search for the location of the chariot of the Chinese people.

The Jiguang tank of the Cadet Army did too much damage to the Japanese, and every time this steel monster appeared on the battlefield, the morale of the Japanese army would drop sharply.

"That's how cruel the truth is! The Imperial Army's weapons that attacked China have now become the strongest armament of the Chinans, is this an irony for those high-ranking officials who blindly pursue the huge guns of ships?! "When the artillery commander Sato Ubei rushed to report to Kei Seya that he had discovered the location of the Shina chariot, the latter was thinking thoughtfully.

"Then what are you hesitating about, hurry up and shell. Didn't the people of China boast that they were powerful chariots? Tell them what the king of foot warfare is with your invincible fire—"

"Hello. But—Your Excellency, the chariots of the Anteng Division have been killed, and they are entangled with the chariots of the Chinese people, and I am afraid—"

"Then hit the junction of the chariot and the infantry, as long as all the infantry of the chariot is annihilated, the chariot will become a turtle shell waiting to die!"

"Hello!"

Sato's artillery began to wield its might, and the rumbling sound of the cannon made Kei Seya's mood feel calm.

He looked up to the east. The east is reddening, and in a short time the sun will rise, and the light will drive away the darkness and come back to earth. At that time, the Imperial Army Aviation will fly to the battlefield, and that will be the end of the Chinese tank troops! Thinking like this, Seya Kei suddenly felt that his previous worries were superfluous-the raid of the Shina people was very ingenious, but it was a pity that they invested too few troops, and if there were tens of thousands of more people, they might really be able to play some tricks. If they can't solve the troops outside the northwest gate of the 5th Division before dawn, then the situation on the entire Taierzhuang battlefield will be determined - this battle, the imperial army will win!
