Chapter 138: The Armored Brigade Going Forward
Because of this battle, Su Dao specially equipped the artillery brigade with a radio telephone equipment to specifically contact the armored brigade. The purpose is to implement the artillery and tank joint rushing tactics of the armored brigade, that is, the attack gap between the artillery and tanks is very small or basically no.
Of course, if the tanks rushed over at a distance of 400 meters, it would take less than a minute at most. What would the Kwantung Army do at this time? It would be nice to find their respective positions to load the bullets. Could it be that they would still expect them to pull out the anti-tank guns?
Of course, this is not to belittle the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army. On the contrary, if any unit, after a night of continuous bombardment and the previous round of cover bombing, the soldiers could still stay on the front line and pick up guns, this would be enough to show their excellence. Although this excellence is not what Su Dao and the others want to see, it is indeed a fact.
You can't just deny the other party just because you can't stand anyone. Of course, it's okay to yell in your heart, but in the overall situation, you still have to pay enough attention to the other party, otherwise you will definitely suffer. Just like Su Dao's previous style of conduct, it seems like a runaway general, who ignores the safety of his friendly forces at all and ignores the dangers of friendly forces. But is this really the case?
From the earliest Battle of Songhu, it was still a duli regiment at that time. Su Dao made great efforts in every battle, annihilated the forces of the two regiments of the Ri Army and captured Huishan Wharf. Since there was no Chinese army around, would he have to stay there and wait for death? Su Dao also asked the Army Command in advance and confirmed that there were no friendly troops who could arrive at Huishan Wharf within the specified time before taking the next action.
After evacuating Shanghai, Su Dao also told the Shanghai army to retreat through his own efforts. If it weren't for Su Dao's reminder and personal demonstration, there would probably be more casualties. Although they did not retreat with Su Dao, one thing is undeniable. They were all ready to retreat, and the hurried retreat and planned retreat were completely different.
Moreover, when Su Dao retreated, he also set up a buffer zone in Suzhou, and resisted the pace of tens of thousands of troops there. In the end, if all the friendly troops around him were running away, would Su Dao directly leave his position and flee? There was nothing about Su Dao in the Battle of Nanjing. Next was the battle of Linyi and Zaozhuang. Su Dao had already wiped out most of the Fifth Division of the Ri Army, and he himself did not want to continue pursuing. Besides, the remnants of more than 10,000 troops were defeated by others. As for the reason for the retreat, Su Dao was not a person from the fifth stop area at all. It was also an accident where he appeared.
Although Su Dao himself is a somewhat arrogant person, he can see some of his attention to the enemy from the above battles. Knowing that he is out of the way, a safe retreat is the best choice. If there is no retreat on the national defense line, there will be no more than the Linyi Battle in the future annihilated most of the 5th Division, and there will be no more than six hours of the Lanfeng Battle. This is the benefit brought by Su Dao's attention to his opponents again and again.
Of course, Su Dao also tried his best to promote this idea throughout the army. After Liu Guodong watched the artillery fire move backward, his lips even burst into laughter. Only at the beginning did he use a radio station to test it with the artillery brigade, but he didn't expect that this was really useful in actual combat. In this way, the Kwantung Army Japanese devils would not mention any decent blocking.
"Fire, fire, and shoot in crowded places. Machine gunner, are you fucking eating? Have you arrived in the shit long ago? Why? Wait for the Japanese to blow up our tracks?" Liu Guodong was so happy that he was directing his own tanks to fight.
However, Liu Guodong seemed to realize a problem. The soldiers may have been used to saving money before, and this was more than 300 meters away. The tank guns and machine gunners did not move at all, except for the tanks charging forward like a tiger.
Immediately, Liu Guodong picked up the phone directly. He liked this thing more and more. Not to mention that with this thing, he could really save a lot of effort when fighting a war, and it would be better for the Western foreigners to enjoy it.
"Please note of all units, please note that I am the No. 001 tank. Do not stay idle in the main gun of the tank. When you see enemy artillery or tanks, fire the shells. No matter how bad the guns are, you must send the shells to crowded places. Don't stay idle in the defense machine guns. We do not have infantry protection now, so we must not let the Japanese get close to us." Liu Guodong picked up the phone and ordered the entire armored brigade.
Immediately, a sound of cannons and machine guns spread throughout the battlefield. A shell from the main gun of the tank often blows several ri army directly into the sky. The main gun of the tank mainly considers armor-piercing ability, so at a short distance, use the main gun of the tank to deal with the ground infantry. Even if you are lying on the ground, you may not be able to escape this disaster.
Just as Liu Guodong was commanding the troops excitedly, he could feel that the tank he was riding in was suddenly raised, but it quickly returned to parallelism. Then, a slight cracking sound came from the bottom of the tank, the artillery fire was roaring, and the machine guns were howling. It was not easy to hear this sound. Liu Guodong only heard it suddenly when both the machine gun and the main gun stopped.
"057, what are you doing? Want to die? Why do you stop? Keep rushing forward." Suddenly, Liu Guodong saw the No. 057 tank not far from him. He hurriedly reminded that it is not a good thing for them to stop now. It is not a good thing for them to stop. It is not guaranteed that the anti-tank gun hidden in the dark is aiming at it.
"We were stuck, and the tanks were struggling to move forward." Tank No. 057 quickly sent back the message. Due to the angle problem, they could not see what was stuck in the tank, so they could only stop first.
"Reversing, reverse quickly, then turn the direction and then rush." Liu Guodong quickly gave instructions. Although he couldn't see clearly what was stuck in the other party's tank, reversing was indeed the best solution.
Tank No. 057 quickly began to reverse backwards, but this backward scared Liu Guodong very much. At least five or six Kanto Army corpses were gathered at the bottom of the No. 057 tank. Since the bodies of the Ri army were not directly crushed by the tracks, it was naturally easy for several Ri army members to get together, and it was naturally easy to get stuck in the tank.
Inside the Ri Army Command:
The Kwantung Army generals were anxiously rushing back and forth, as if they had lost their souls. There were even many staff members who wanted to coerce the division commanders and brigade commanders to retreat. The original plan was that they should launch an attack at 8 o'clock this morning, but no one expected that before they could eat, the other party attacked, and it was still so fierce.
(Note: There is no doubt about the off-road ability of the tank. There is no problem with the trench pits, but if something directly stuck between the tracks, the speed of the tank will indeed be affected. Of course, there are few things that will jamm the tank, but everything is exceptional. There is nothing else to write this. The main reason is that I hate the Japanese too much. If you think it is not suitable or you write it incorrectly, just smile it. In short, there are many things worth reading in this book, and there is no need to make it unhappy for everyone.)
