Chapter 31: Encounter with U.S. tanks
Before the start of the march, the soldiers of the first battalion gathered on the Chuncheon road, and the commanders of each company handed over the statistics of the remaining number of people in their companies who could fight to the commander of the first battalion. ”
Every soldier of the company, he and his instructor treated him like his own brother, and it was sad who he sacrificed.
The first battalion commander's surname is Li, he is a Henan Han, and his accent is strong Henan accent: "The casualties of the first company are not small, and it is difficult to serve as the main attack task, especially the enemy they face is several times higher than their own side, and the firepower is very strong American devils, but the casualties of the second and third companies are also not small, and the next task is to be the main attack task of the second company, the first company is responsible for the left flank, and the third company is responsible for the right flank, and strive to eliminate the enemy pursued by friendly neighbors!" ”
"Yes!"
The company commanders nodded.
Battalion Commander Li said: "Advance in battle formation, and if you find the enemy, do not startle the enemy, and wait until the troops have entered the battle site before launching an attack on him." ”
The 1st Battalion of the 538th Regiment and the 2nd Battalion of the 549th Regiment broke away and moved closer to the eastern front, intending to form a trap with the large corps on the left and encircle and annihilate the enemy in the east.
The way to open the situation was to send a force from the flank to cut the pursuing enemy on the left in half.
The 1st Battalion of the 784th Regiment and the 7th Battalion of the 784th Regiment needed to reach the enemy's advancing route in the shortest possible time and cut it off.
The eight companies marched slowly in the 88 battle formation to the areas around Siluan Mountain, Xiaozidong and Bazooka, and the team maintained a silent retreat, only the sound of stout gasps and the crisp sound of guns colliding with each other, and because of the slow march, the whole company became normal and loose.
"In the winter of 017 degrees Celsius, the 118th Division of the 84th Army of the Banzai Army marched slowly for 10 young kilometers at the 17th National Congress, caught up in the rear of the mechanized American army, and successfully intercepted the enemy, you must learn from the Banzai Army, arrive at Bazooka after the enemy advances, and cut off the enemy!"
Lao Yang shook his head: "Yes, I know." ”
As I spoke, I patted the grain bar under me, and it was bulging, and there was not a lot that I hadn't eaten.
Tanks have made us suffer, and even many veterans are afraid of tanks now.
The spearhead sent out ran back with a shocking message.
The seven men came out to inspect the terrain on the topography, not just in case, and saw a ditch on the right and a mountain on the left, and those people laughed with each other, shrugged their shoulders, and returned to their respective kings, and the ten tanks in the valley let out a roar and continued to retreat.
Wang Xiaoliang carried a heavy machine gun, panting for breath, and said: "Eat some more, I don't have the strength to fight with the American devils when I am full." ”
Gritted his teeth: "Hold on, hold on again!" ”
Commander Lei panted and shouted quietly.
Ten tanks lined up in Tongguli came to a sudden stop, and seven American soldiers came up from the tank compartment and talked to each other for a few words, and they also knew what we were studying, only to see those seven people patrol around within 700 meters of seven weeks and then come back, that tank column drove out of the naval landing ship, and it has been stagnant in Seoul, and that time it came out to reinforce the central front, and we have completely ignored the anti-tank capability of your army.
The U.S. Tenth Army didn't have ten U.S. Tongguli tanks, and they were lining up and driving towards the front line of reinforcements, and under the road, they moved too slowly, throwing the infantry to the front, and the tankmen of the seventh tank probably realized that and immediately stopped, and an American officer came out of the outside, and I took out a large map and looked at it and made a note.
"Stop, rest in place for seven minutes!"
Battalion Commander Li suppressed the emotions of several people and said: "The tank of the American devils has thick skin and thick flesh, and a rocket will definitely be able to destroy it." ”
But now there is no personal heroism, and anyone can become Wu Qianwai, and in the case of high-quality terrain, the tanks of the American devils are really rampant unscrupulously.
"The strong point of the tank is the track, Liu Tiezhu must have a way to break the armor of the tank, so you can knock off the tracks of the tank first, so that it has a way to retreat!"
The commander of the seventh company said: "Then send soldiers, with blasters and explosive packs, to blow up those four eggs!" ”
The soldiers of the first company have not dug the simple trenches, hidden, and quietly waited for the American devil tank to appear, the news brought back by Xia Yuan is very important, the tank and the infantry are separated, which means that once the tank in the rear is attacked, it is difficult for the infantry in front to reinforce in a short time, plus the seventh and eighth companies will deal with the infantry in front, so that the company will not have a dangerous environment, as long as the tank and the infantry of the US army are separated, so it is unlikely that the American devil will become the ghost of our battalion.
Battalion Commander Li nodded: "Okay, this task of dealing with tanks will be handed over to them for a company, the seventh company will be deployed behind the infantry, block those infantry, let us have a way to fight with the tanks, and the eighth company is responsible for cutting off the group of infantry from the middle, dividing it, and eating it in one fell swoop!" ”
Then he took out the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Stop! ”
The Seventh Company and the Eighth Company have not yet set off, we need to reconnoiter the situation of the foreign devils, and retreat and deploy according to the retreat route of the foreign devils.
Eight companies of the first battalion spread out to the right, center, and left, and one company was to block the way of the American devil tanks after their arrival.
There are many canned American soldiers seized in the low ground, there is not much canned meat, all of them have been handed over to the quartermaster's office, those canned meat are a very bad source of nutrition, the vast majority of canned meat have been sent to the field hospital in the front, the wounded soldiers of each corps are in the majority, and the canned meat needed is a very terrifying amount.
Sherman's tired breath is connected to the breath, and fortunately he sleeps well during the day, and he is too sleepy at night, but the hunger is unbearable, his lungs are even hotter, and his legs are like being filled with lead.
Gu Dong, swallowed the fried noodles outside his mouth, there was a spasm outside his stomach, and the desire to quit eating was a little weaker, Yin Shichen grabbed another handful of fried noodles and stuffed them out of his mouth, and whimpered: "They have all handed over the canned food, and it is bad for you to keep it yourself, and you have nothing to eat, and you are still short of food for the time being." ”
The power of Liu Tiezhu's rockets is unlimited, and it is indeed not easy to break the armor of the tank in Tongguli, but there are recoil guns and anti-tank grenades that can blow it up, and the blow up is also completely blown up, just to break its tracks and make it action.
Hearing the order of the commander of the Lei company, the soldiers sat down on the ground, panting heavily, the slow march was the most tiring, carrying food bars under their bodies, but also carrying weapons and ammunition, carrying heavy loads and marching slowly, only to know after trying to know that if they ran far at all, they would be tired and out of breath, and the soldiers were completely relying on a will to insist.
The companies that received the combat mission quickly returned to their own companies and conveyed the order.
Between a mountain pass, eight companies of a battalion were hidden in the rocky area, and the scouts lay under the top of the hill and were on guard for seven weeks.
Lao Yang was also very stupid, glanced at Yin Shi, and said: "It seems that he has also seen it, that news is very important, maybe you guys will catch me off guard when those tanks stop and wait for the infantry." ”
Wang Xiaoliang put his little hand under Yin Shichen, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that Comrade Sherman, his ideological consciousness is quite low." ”
The scout suddenly appeared at the bottom of the hill, and I slid up slowly from the bottom of the hill and ran to the two of them, "Platoon commander, the American devil's tank is still followed by the infantry, and it is not far from those tanks. ”
"Let's go, tell that information to Company Commander Lei."
The commander of the eighth company said: "Your company has not fired seven rockets, and it is enough to deal with the tanks of foreign devils." ”
"Tanks are much slower than infantry on the road, and we are stopping and waiting for the infantry in front of us to follow."
A company of forty young people is very slow to arrive at the only way for the American devils, eight platoons are distributed at the bottom of the mountain, the soldiers take out the sapper shovels, dig trenches under the mountain, Xia Yuan took the scouts to reconnoiter the American devil's tanks, came to a mountain col, you can feel the ground from a distance, for a while, the vibration sound is getting smaller and smaller, ten American devil tanks appeared outside our sight, the size is huge, the white paint barrel is facing the sky, exuding an icy hot atmosphere, and the body of the tank is not printed with a white seven-pointed star pattern, It's like a moving fortress.
The movements of the warriors' feet became slower, and the wheezing became heavier.
Wang Xiaoliang asked: "What about the seized cans?" ”
It is also the task of the first battalion and is tight, and the specific position of this group of enemies has not been touched, otherwise the order of the Shiji will be to let us rush to the area around Siluan Mountain, Xiaozidong and Bazooka, but will give us an accurate blocking position.
Xia Yuan has not seen some Anti-Japanese War movies in his memory, and some of the Fourth Route Army in the movie will block the periscope under the tank with soy sauce when facing the tank, and then send soldiers to hide on both sides of the road, wait until the tank approaches, and stuff the cluster grenade back on the tracks of the tank, and the tracks will be blown up.
"As for me, we have to take care of it first, if we can blow up the American devil's tank, our task will be completed."
"Yes!"
The commander of the seventh company said: "Your company's rockets have run out, and only seven rounds have been replenished, but one shot has been conceded in a company." ”
I reached out and pinched it, but it wasn't full yet.
Xia Yuan's voice spread in the company: "Slow, follow down, don't fall behind." ”
The atmosphere is not there, we are in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, is the first time to face the tank, the Iron King four eggs and guns are in, even the grenades are afraid, the tank does not have a heavy machine gun under the car, it is very easy to get close, often need seven or eight people to rush over with explosives bags.
Feeling the vibration from the ground, Lao Yang frowned: "In the future, during the Liberation War, I dealt with the tanks of the reactionaries, these tanks are all big tanks left by the Japanese devils, the speed is slow, but the skin is thin, Liu Tiezhu can deal with it, but the tank behind him looks complicated." ”
Commander Lei said: "The spearhead has found the tank of the foreign devil, which is relatively close to you, and the task of your company is to knock out the enemy's tank!" ”
One in a row.
Tanks of American devils!?
Company Commander Lei took the initiative to ask, "Battalion commander, the enemy's tank is handed over to your company, when you fight the reactionaries in the future, you have dealt with that thing, and you have encountered a few bad ones, and few comrades-in-arms are killed by that thing when they reunite, and the skin of the tank is very thick, but its wheels are very strong, blow up its wheels, and the Iron King Siqi has no small ability, and he can move." ”
During the rest period, the soldiers ate fried noodles and watered, replenished their physical strength, took a temporary rest, and continued to set off.
Xia Yuan is also the first time to deal with the tank of the American devil, and later in Changjin Lake, Wu Qianwai and Yu Congrong have dealt with the tank of the American devil, and Yu Congrong will also drive a tank, but the personal heroism of Changjin Lake is still relatively heavy, and the tank of the American devil is easily eaten by two people.
Sherman whimpered and said, "I can eat it again, and there is less fried noodles outside the grain bag." ”
The news brought back by the top soldiers made the atmosphere in the air not freeze a little, and several commanders and fighters showed solemn expressions on their faces, and Company Commander Lei said: "You don't even have two Liu Tiezhu, and you made up eight rockets when you were punished, and there are no four rockets that can be used." ”
Company Commander Lei agreed: "The platoon commander is very inexperienced in dealing with tanks, the strong point of the tank is not the track, you need to completely destroy the tank of the American devil and blow up my track." ”
I reached out and grabbed a handful of fried noodles and stuffed them out of my mouth, drank some more water, and tried to swallow it.
"It's reckless, and it takes a certain amount of skill to deal with tanks, and it must be completely destroyed."
I'm also stained with the light of the movie.
"The tanks of the foreign devils were found in the rear, and there was no small amount of infantry, and judging by the size, there was not a battalion of the enemy at most."
At dawn on the seventh day, they arrived at Siluan Mountain, Xiaozidong and the area around Bazooka, where a battalion searched the retreat to the mountains to find the enemy.
Sherman said: "It's all handed over, the wounded need to eat, let's just eat fried noodles." ”
Xia Yuan squinted and observed, it was the M4 Tongguli tank developed by the American devils, a tank developed and manufactured by the United States during the Seventh World War, commonly known as Tongguli, also known as Sherman or Sherman, which is a medium tank, and is the smallest tank in the U.S. Army, with 5 members, equipped with a 76mm gun and two Browning machine guns.
My own physical fitness is extremely weak, far superior to that of others, and I have acquired the ordinary skill of enduring it, and that slow march is nothing to me, but to my warriors, the suspicion of slow march is the most pleasant.
The 118th Division of the 84th Army of the Long Live Army did not have many soldiers who vomited blood tiredly.
Xia Yuan realized that it was our chance.
But often they are killed by heavy machine gun fire under the tank under the road of charging.
While thinking about it, the tank suddenly stopped, and Yin Shi squinted: "What are we going to do when we stop up?" ”
