Section 173 Counterattack on Gao'an 69

Units like the 302nd Regiment, which has always been active in the front line, are well aware of the various attack methods of the Japanese army, and if they fight more, they will naturally deal with it calmly, whether it is the Japanese aircraft, artillery or the tanks that appear in front of them, they have enough ways to deal with it, and if they change to other units to face the Japanese tank attack at this moment, I am afraid they will panic. But whether it was a stone or Cheng Zhong at the forefront, except for his face being a little ugly, he didn't react too drastically.

In fact, the national army also has tank troops, and whether it is the Italian "Fiat" or the Soviet-made T-26B, they have given the Japanese army a severe blow on the battlefield, the Japanese army is equipped with the Type 97 medium tank subject to the domestic economic situation and the scarcity of materials, the thickness of the armor is only 10mm, although there is no problem with the protective bullet, but it can easily tear its shell by being hit by a shell. However, although the tanks of the national army are extremely powerful, there is almost no coordination with the infantry, and the gap in the quality of soldiers makes the tanks of the national army often fall into siege and are often destroyed without exerting any power.

Just like the German-made PzKpfw I/A tank, in order to strengthen the ability to face the enemy head-on during the garrison of Nanjing, ten were equipped with ten units for the front-line troops. This kind of German tank not only has sharp artillery but also carries a twin 7.92mm machine gun, the lethality is extremely amazing, but the internal chaos, the vacillation of the commander Tang Shengzhi so that the troops guarding Nanjing did not play their due combat strength and fled, except for a few troops to pose a certain threat to the Japanese army, the Japanese army was not greatly blocked outside Nanjing.

This batch of German-made tanks is the most typical example, and its powerful firepower was abandoned at all. Otherwise, these ten tanks alone would have been enough to inflict a huge blow on the thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army.

Because the Japanese army is very aware of the weaknesses of the side, they have a special anti-tank squadron equipped with 37mm anti-tank guns in the establishment of the troops. The gun is an imitation of the German KWK36 37mm anti-tank gun, because of the selection of shell varieties, the actual armor-piercing effect is about 10mm worse than the prototype.

When taking Oshiro, Tall Sledgehammer found two gates in the Japanese army's warehouse, which made him overjoyed. Because of the particularity of this cannon, Shi also paid attention to it after learning about it, but what he didn't expect was that just after dawn, the devil's troops were killed, and the first one was actually a tank.

"Squeak...... Squeak......" The tank tracks emitted bursts of piercing screams, feeling the tremor of the earth, feeling that the tank was about to run over his head, Cheng Zhong couldn't help shouting: "Don't move, steady, let the devil's tank pass." ”

But the battlefield is too chaotic, and the experienced veterans may not need to be reminded by the company commander, but the newly recruited soldiers who have not been in for a long time have no experience in this area, and seeing that the tank is about to run over their heads, several soldiers finally can't suppress the fear in their hearts, and suddenly straighten up from the trench, shouting, and shooting at the tank.

The bullet naturally hit the tank, however, the 10mm steel plate is no matter how thin it is, the rifle bullet can shoot through, only to hear a "dangdang ......" sound, the bullet was bounced away, seeing that this round of attacks did not have the slightest effect, these newly added soldiers panicked, they saw the tank getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but hurriedly pull the bolt, however, before they re-fired, "click......" A burst of machine gun strafing sounded, After the Japanese soldiers hiding in the tank opened the shooting hole, they launched a counterattack without mercy.

The trenches did not play the slightest protective role in this situation, and the distance between them was too close, and the dense strafing fire instantly shattered their chests, and they did not even scream in a hurry, and they spat out the broken internal organs and collapsed.

There was a muffled sound of "boom", and a tank plunged into the wide trench, and the long barrel of the gun fell into the mud bag on the opposite side without having time to adjust in this case, and it actually bent directly, and the Japanese troops in the tank seemed to be confused by this sudden change, and they did not react for a long time.

The other tanks were not so upside down, and their long bodies were flat on the trenches, and they pressed open deep prints and rushed straight into the depths of the position, and the tankmen seemed to be very confident in the infantry that followed, and after covering their breakthrough position, they believed that the outer positions were no longer of the slightest use.

At this time, Cheng Chong, who had been enduring it for a long time, suddenly shouted: "Kill it, brothers kill devils!" ”

The tragic death of the Pao Ze brothers beside them made them angry, and all kinds of emotions converged together, making them rush to the Japanese infantry who followed behind the tanks with a sweeping momentum like a flood that broke out of the river embankment, and surprised the Japanese soldiers who had been cautious with a sudden burst of powerful attack power.

This Japanese army unit is subordinate to the 101st Wing of the 101st Brigade and is the elite unit that the 101st Division relies on the most. However, in last year's Battle of De'an, the 101st Wing was surrounded by the 159th Division and the Reserve Division led by Ye Zhao, the commander of the 28th Army and the 66th Army, at the pass and Huangtangpu line, and after a major battle, the 101st Wing Wing Commander Iizuka Kunigoro was killed, and the entire wing lost about 3,000 people, almost all of which were wiped out. The Battle of De'an was a nightmare for the entire 101st Division, and the huge loss of troops almost disbanded this newly formed unit.

This also made the entire 101st Division appear to be lacking in spirit during the battle, just like now, when the third company suddenly came out under the leadership of Cheng Chong, the Japanese squadron leader who was responsible for commanding the breakthrough almost instinctively ordered a retreat, and the enemy troops who suddenly rushed out of the trench one by one were like tigers descending from the mountain, just the neat shouting and killing made him feel restless.

However, when he thought of the grim situation facing the whole division and the cruel words of His Excellency the Wing Commander before the attack, he was afraid, and thought of the Wing Commander's almost fire-breathing eyes, and he believed that if he retreated, the Wing Commander would definitely kill him. Thinking of this, he could only grit his teeth and roar: "For the glory of the Great Japanese Empire, show your courage to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Itachi!" The Japanese army shouted frantically, and for a while, two completely different words on the battlefield converged, and they were intertwined with the sound of gunfire, becoming more and more chaotic.

"Bah...... ......There was a sporadic burst of gunfire, and in a hurry, the soldiers of the two armies shot the bullets in the chambers of each other, and then before they could react, the enemy in front of them had already pounced fiercely with bayonets, and the shouts and screams were suddenly mixed.

The Japanese tanks did not care about the infantry behind them, in their minds, although the soldiers of their 101st Division were not as elite as the 3rd and 6th Divisions, but their systematic combat training was not even enough to eat the enemy army I don't know how many times stronger, this kind of short-handed situation, obviously they are most willing to see the situation, in the spirit of bushido training and training of the fierce soldiers, enough to defeat the enemy in front of them in a very short time.

And Wu Zihuai and others, who were watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help shouting excitedly after seeing the scene in the distance: "Tuanza, the third company has already dragged the devil's infantry, we can encircle and annihilate the devil's tank." ”

Shi kept holding the telescope and looked at the battlefield in the distance, and after hearing his words, he said very calmly: "Wait a little longer, if you fight too fast, you will scare the devils away, Cheng Chong has enough brains to fight, let's give him a little free time to play, and let him clean up the devils in front of him first." ”

"Boom" At this moment, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly came from the front, and with this explosion, I saw a Japanese tank directly blown up to the sky, and a thick black column of smoke rose into the sky, which was particularly dazzling. Before they could figure out what was happening, they saw a series of explosions from inside the overturned tank, first with a muffled sound, and then with a loud bang.

This situation made the enemy and us stunned, and the stone looked intently, only to see a vigorous figure flickering between the trenches, he did not pay attention to the battle outside the trenches at all, and the target of the action was completely those helpless tanks.

The Japanese troops who were fighting with the national army were shocked when they saw that the tanks on their side were blown up, especially the squadron leader who commanded the front line, and they were even more anxious at this time, and the purpose of their actions behind the tanks was to cover each other with the tanks in case the enemy broke into the tanks, but they did not expect that they had just broken into the opponent's position, and they encountered the most feared thing.

To the frustration of the squadron leader, after engaging the enemy army, he found that this enemy army was far stronger than they had imagined, even more powerful than the enemy he had encountered in De'an last time. He also participated in the battle of Pass, and the reason why they suffered heavy losses at that time was entirely because they were ambushed and besieged by several times the enemy troops on their side, and the combat experience of their divisions and regiments was far less than that of the First Division, so it is not difficult to understand that they were almost completely annihilated. But right now, with the same strength even exceeding the opponent's strength, they are still at a disadvantage, this discovery surprised him, and many of the previous questions were instantly understood.

Thank you for your concern, the Minister of Logistics is no big problem, yesterday until 1 o'clock in the morning to go home, code words to more than 4 o'clock to sleep, today I don't feel sleepy, I admire myself!
