Five tanks with tank guns in the third remaining Japanese tank group tried to escape. How could the soldiers watch helplessly?
The soldiers at the artillery position fired a large number of smoke grenades towards the area where the Japanese third tank team was located.
Use the cover of smoke bombs.
Several battalion commanders directly issued orders for a general offensive.
This ambush was in Dafengzhuang, and the commanders responsible for this counter-ambush operation were the three battalion commanders of the 1st Independent Regiment.
Of course, according to the combined plan of Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and Li Yunlong.
This time, in order to jointly accumulate experience in large-scale anti-tank operations.
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei also sent some elites from the New Second Regiment and the New First Regiment respectively to participate in the battle.
The three battalions temporarily merged into the Independent Regiment are under the unified command of three battalion commanders including Wang Leihu.
Before the Japanese tanks arrived at Dafengzhuang.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were busy digging all kinds of tank traps, and when they saw this huge anti-tank trench and deep ditch outside the village of Dafengzhuang.
The soldiers of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment who came to join forces for anti-tank operations still had doubts.
"Can we really deal with the Japanese iron bastard by digging a big deep hole like this?"
"You kid can't be so stupid, right?"
Facing the doubts of the soldiers of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, a company commander from the Independent Regiment confidently explained:
"Don't you understand this? This is called an anti-tank trench. What we dig is an inverted standard trapezoidal deep pit."
"It is specially designed for the Japs' tanks. Once the Japs' tanks fall in, it will be very difficult to escape without external help."
"Even if we can only trap the Japanese tanks for a while, our soldiers can quickly catch up and capture the Japanese tanks easily. The Japanese tanks that have lost their mobility are nothing to be afraid of."
"In addition, even if the Japanese tanks did not fall into the tank trenches, we still have a series of anti-tank measures prepared behind us to ensure that the Japanese tanks will not be able to survive."
……
Go back to the scene more than ten minutes ago, looking at the triangular tank formation of the Japanese, and the roar of the tank's engine.
Looking at those behemoths, even the Doudin tank, the armor still has an absolute advantage against the flesh and blood.
For the soldiers, what comes over them is a sense of powerlessness of flesh and blood against the steel troops.
The soldiers of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment hid behind the fortifications and couldn't help but sigh:
"With so many tanks and armored vehicles, if we hadn't predicted in advance that the Japanese would use armored vehicles to attack Dafengzhuang, Dafengzhuang might not have been saved."
The company commander of the independent group at the side smiled and said:
"Comrade, the Japanese tanks are actually nothing to be afraid of. The so-called large-scale Japanese tank force in front of us only consists of about 20 tanks and armored vehicles."
"If you have time, you can go to this military skills training class in our independent regiment and take two tank soldier courses."
"Our teachers will tell you what tank swarm tactics are and what blitzkrieg using tank troops is. Hundreds of thousands of tanks are driving crazily on the plains. That kind of situation can be called shocking!"
"The Japs have only a dozen or twenty tanks and armored vehicles in front of us. They are just a small fight at best and cannot be brought to the fore."
This may be the level of vision.
The first company commander who has taken the artillery course has broadened his horizons.
The dozen or twenty Japanese tanks and armored vehicles in front of him seemed like nothing to him.
But the cadres of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment felt deep down that the First Company Commander was bragging.
As the Japanese tanks moved in, the battle suddenly broke out.
What stunned the soldiers of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment was...
These behemoth-like Japanese tanks look powerful, but when they roar forward, they look so stupid.
The anti-tank trench trap lying in front of the little devils.
It actually contained seven or eight tanks at once, plus many Japanese armored vehicles.
"No, this is okay???"
As Wang Leihu and other battalion commanders issued the order for a general attack, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment rushed towards the Japanese tanks that fell in the anti-tank trenches like a tide.
The troops on both wings detoured towards the Japanese's third tank team.
The soldiers of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment still felt like they were dreaming.
This advantage came too unexpectedly.
There is no need for anti-tank artillery, nor is there any need for soldiers to organize death squads and carry explosive bags to fight the Iron Bastard regardless of their lives.
It was just that a huge anti-tank trench was dug in the Qiancun area in advance, and then the surface was treated so that the Japanese could not see the flaws.
And then you put more than half of the Japanese tanks in it?
Soldiers from the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment had previously participated in the excavation of anti-tank trenches.
They lamented in their hearts that if they looked at the situation before them, similar anti-tank traps could be constructed even by militia troops with a little study.
Doesn't this mean that the little devil's iron bastard can even deal with the militia?
……
"Reporter Xiao Song, Reporter Xiao Song, did you take a picture of that scene just now? It was the situation where the enemy's advancing tank just fell into our anti-tank trench!"
In the former village area, the soldiers launched a charge on the flank.
The two warriors said with excitement.
The two of them were ordered to personally protect the military reporter Song Qing.
And assisted reporter Xiao Song in filming this large-scale anti-tank battle.
Song Qing's face was also full of excitement at this moment, and his hands operating the photography equipment could not help but tremble slightly.
This is the latest American photography equipment that Kong Jie bought from John.
In Kong Jie's view, the heroic Eighth Route Army soldiers' anti-Japanese war is extremely precious. If it can be captured with a camera, it will definitely become a very precious historical data.
It can also allow future generations who have gradually forgotten the history of blood and tears in the War of Resistance to take a good look at the bravery and greatness of the martyrs.
Keep history in mind and forge ahead.
This is a great nation that will never decline and should have fine traditions.
Kong Jie also equipped Song Qing with a military motorcycle. He placed the photography equipment directly on the motorcycle, and then a soldier drove it slowly to shoot the entire scene.
"It was filmed, the whole thing was filmed, from the time the Japanese tanks moved forward to when they fell into our anti-tank trenches, the whole process was filmed without missing a beat!"
"It's so shocking. This situation is really incredible."
As he spoke, Song Qing raised the camera hanging around his neck, adjusted the focus, and took several shots of the battlefield not far away.
This video must be available, and photos must be available.
"It's too far, comrade, let's get closer! It's best to get close to the anti-tank trench. I want to take a clear picture of the situation inside the anti-tank trench and the Japanese tanks at this moment!"
"This is not possible, Reporter Xiao Song, the battle is not over yet! It is too dangerous to go there now. The commander's order is that we must ensure your safety!"
"If you don't care about so much anymore, why would you be a military reporter if you don't take some risks?"
"The video taken now is intended to be used as propaganda material to convince the people that it must be coherent. There is only the scene of the Japanese tank falling into the tank trench, but there is no internal scene. Doesn't this make people suspicious?" p>
"If you don't drive, I will drive myself, even if I run over on two legs!"
"Comrade, I beg you, if something happens I will take the responsibility myself. I will go to the regiment leader and make it clear!"
"This...okay!"
The two soldiers couldn't defeat Song Qing, so they had to drive military motorcycles towards the edge of the anti-tank trench.
When the three people arrived, at a glance, many of the soldiers who launched the attack had jumped out of the trenches and were hiding in the blind spots of the tanks to deal with the Japanese.
The mobility of the Japanese tank that fell into the trench was blocked and could not move at all.
But the Japanese tank soldiers hiding inside the tank were still firing machine guns inside...
