741 Camouflage layout There is strength in numbers
The howitzer led the artillery to destroy the four tanks of the Japanese Third Tank Team that fled all the way.
Only Kazuo Uehara, the leader of the Japanese tank squadron, commanded the last Type 89 tank to break out in embarrassment.
At this time, the battle inside the anti-tank trenches was coming to an end.
After falling into the trench, the soldiers were using various methods to kill the Japanese tank soldiers hiding inside the tank, including throwing pepper bombs into the tank to force the Japanese tank soldiers out of the tank;
Thin-skinned armor, use hardened special armor-piercing bullets to kill it.
The next step is how to quickly remove the captured armored vehicles and tanks from the battlefield.
If this were left to other Eighth Route Army units, these bulky Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
There is no way to tow it away in a short time relying on manpower.
Perhaps we can only blow it up on the spot to prevent the Japanese from coming back and snatching away these armored vehicles and tanks.
Armored vehicles and tanks are also rare military equipment for the Japanese army. The Japanese will never let these tanks and armored vehicles be captured by the Eighth Route Army.
But now, the Japs are facing an independent group, so everything is different.
Commander Kong is confident about winning this anti-tank battle.
From the beginning, Kong Jie said to the soldiers:
One of the difficulties in conducting anti-tank operations this time is how to capture tanks and armored vehicles as completely as possible.
The second difficulty is how to transfer the captured tanks and armored vehicles in time before the Japanese planes react.
In order to solve these two problems, Kong Jie made many preparations...
"Quick, all tank crews are in place immediately!"
"Activate all the tanks that can still move."
When the howitzer commanded the artillery to pursue the five Japanese tanks that had escaped, the first battalion commander Lei Dasheng had already issued an order.
"Let the soldiers carry out soil work immediately, and seize the opportunity to drive over the excavator modified by the repair shop to dig out the trenches, and let our drivers drive out all the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles."
"If the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles are overturned, seize the moment and use our crane to turn them over."
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, the transfer must be completed within fifteen minutes!"
As the battalion commander issued the order, the style of the entire battlefield suddenly changed.
The soldiers of the independent regiment took care of the infantry coordinated by the Japanese and the Japanese tank soldiers hiding inside the tanks.
Just a moment ago, he was fighting bravely with a gun!
The next moment, after the battalion commander's order was issued, the soldiers all took out a small and exquisite short-handled military shovel from their waists.
This is already a team of second-generation military ordnance shovels transformed and produced by the independent regiment's armory.
It can kill enemies, dig soil, cook, and block bullets. It is really a multipurpose shovel. There is no more practical weapon than this.
The soldiers were well prepared to quickly carry out soil work and transfer captured tanks and armored vehicles after the fighting.
The second-generation ordnance shovel has been carried with me from the beginning.
Amidst the roar of the engines, several cranes and excavators transformed from Japanese cars and armored vehicles by the Independent Regiment Repair Station also quickly drove over.
Dust began to fly throughout the entire anti-tank trench.
After a large number of soldiers quickly entered the anti-tank trenches, they began to dig the soil frantically with the ordnance shovels in their hands, digging one side of the trench as flat as possible, and quickly piled the excavated soil into a pile at the bottom of the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
The ladder to climb.
The soldiers of the tank crew team who were quickly in place have specially studied the tank crew course in the military skills training class and conducted corresponding tank driving training on the training ground.
According to Kong Jie’s original idea.
The establishment of a military skills class.
It aims to cultivate a large number of professional military talents for a team.
Regardless of whether it is a Japanese artillery, an armored vehicle, a tank, or even an airplane, as long as it is captured by us, there will immediately be corresponding artillery, tank troops, and even pilots, just drive away.
This is the real ace unit.
Although there are not many tank soldiers, armored soldiers and other talents trained by a team at present, there are still two or three drivers for each Japanese tank and armored vehicle.
Amidst the flying dust on the battlefield, the soldiers acted very efficiently, cooperated and cooperated quickly, and used practical actions to explain what it means to have strength in numbers.
They are like a group of ants with organized division of labor and efficient actions, even though they are considered to be huge prey.
In a short period of time, not even ten minutes.
The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles that had been captured as completely as possible by the soldiers only needed to drag out the Japanese tank soldiers who had been killed inside.
The tank soldiers quickly got into the tanks and started moving with Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
The flanks of the anti-tank trenches.
The soldiers have greater strength in numbers. You shovel and I shovel, and we quickly dig out several spacious passages.
Plus an excavator to assist in digging.
They also used soil pads inside the trenches to level the slope.
With the roar of tanks and armored vehicle engines.
At this time, the soldiers who had replaced the Japanese tank soldiers drove the Japanese armored vehicles and tanks out of the anti-tank trenches with excitement on their faces.
Among them was a Japanese armored vehicle. In the previous battle, its engine was blown up and there were some malfunctions.
The soldiers used the artillery tractor modified by the repair shop to drag the Japanese's damaged armored vehicle into the village.
"The armored vehicles and tanks have been transferred, and it's time for our war bureau to take action."
"Quick, hurry up and send the camouflaged tanks to the trenches!"
Shi Dahu, director of the War Ignorance Bureau, is also very busy here.
The captured Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were quickly pulled out of the anti-tank trenches by the soldiers, or after being driven out.
Shi Dahu quickly directed the corresponding soldiers and sent the wooden camouflage tanks prepared early in the morning to the inside of the trench.
The soldiers used the ordnance shovels on hand to quickly fill the channels dug out on the sides of the anti-tank warships back to their original appearance.
"Corpse corpses!"
"Don't forget the corpses. Get the corpses of the puppet soldiers who have changed into military uniforms for me quickly!"
Shi Dahu kept shouting and urging.
The corpses of these Japanese and puppet soldiers were collected by the soldiers from the several gun towers they had demolished in the past few days.
Originally, I might have been able to get away with it using a scarecrow.
But Shi Dahu said that acting should be more delicate, as scarecrows are too easy to expose.
Therefore, corpses were used instead.
The three battalions of the Independent Regiment, plus the soldiers from the New Regiment and the New Second Regiment who came to help, totaled nearly 3,000 people.
Everyone was busy without stopping for a moment, and it took almost twenty minutes.
The entire battlefield has been remodeled.
At this time, looking down from above, the spectacular anti-tank trench that originally stretched outside the village of Dafengzhuang, like a huge crack in the earth, has been renovated.
Inside the trench, at first glance, there are tanks and armored vehicles.
Of course, if you look carefully, you will find that the color of these tanks and armored vehicles is very different from the metal color of the armor of real tanks and armored vehicles.
In addition, many soldiers wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms were sitting or standing around these tanks and armored vehicles.
What does this situation look like?
It seems that the battle has just ended, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers are cleaning the battlefield inside the trenches, trying to figure out how to deal with the captured tanks and armored vehicles...
……
The other side.
As early as thirty minutes ago.
Knowing that the situation was over, Kazuo Uehara, the leader of the Japanese tank squadron, asked the communications troops to promptly convey a request for help to the Japanese command headquarters.
In the communication, Kazuo Uehara sadly conveyed:
"The Eighth Route Army has already ambushed the Dafengzhuang area. The so-called grain harvesting is just a huge trap. The plan to raid Dafengzhuang has completely failed!"
"Our unit is in danger of destruction!"
"Request the headquarters to immediately dispatch air reinforcements to prevent our tanks and armored vehicles from falling into the hands of the Eighth Route Army."
In Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.
The commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, has been paying attention to the battle situation in Dafengzhuang.
When he learned that the tank squadron and cavalry squadron he sent encountered a trap set by the Eighth Route Army in advance in Dafengzhuang, the entire cavalry squadron and tank squadron were almost destroyed.
The expression that appeared on the face of the old Japanese Yoshio Shinozuka was quite complex, including shock, anger, shock, regret, and sadness...
In the end, it all blended into an angry shout:
"Immediately order the flying team to dispatch all idle combat aircraft to quickly reinforce Dafengzhuang!"
"If the tanks and armored vehicles of the Empire of Japan were captured by the Eighth Route Army, it would be a huge shame. We would rather destroy them than leave them to the Eighth Route Army."
"In addition, according to the location of the Dafengzhuang granary provided by the intelligence department, blow up all the food stored by the Eighth Route Army, and we will never make it easier for the Eighth Route Army!"
"Hi!"
After the command was issued, the members of the Japanese flying team who had been waiting at the airport were a little confused.
Why did we just blow up the targets in the base area of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army?
Flying to Dafengzhuang for another bombing mission?
Haven't tanks and cavalry units been dispatched to the Dafengzhuang area?
