As a rookie who has joined the army for less than four months, Huang Jianhua is naturally unique in being able to become the commander of a tank worth US$30,000.
When the tank was attacked, he immediately opened the observation area, quickly found the target of the attack based on the sound he heard vaguely, and gave the order to fire.
The gunner was a short man, Sun Youfu, nicknamed Tu Xingsun.
Although this guy has a gossipy personality, he is very talented at firing cannons. Under Huang Jianhua's command, he almost immediately turned the muzzle of the cannon to aim at the enemy, and then stepped on the firing pedal.
"boom!"
As the twenty-ton tank shook violently, a 16.8-pound high-explosive bomb flew out instantly. With a loud bang, the Type 94 37mm rapid-fire cannon and the three gunners around it exploded.
Flying into the sky.
"Idiot... don't fire. This is an ammunition depot. Do you want us to go to the sky together?"
The voice of Nong Tiancai, who was frustrated, came from Huang Jianhua's headset.
"Sir, no, I believe in my gunners." Huang Jianhua's words were full of confidence.
"Believe it or not!"
At this time, Nong Tiancai, who had already rushed in with the tank, was almost angry to death. He didn't care about his face anymore and roared: "No. 032, I tell you, if you dare to fire one more shot, believe it or not, I will join the group immediately."
I'll call you and report that you will be sent to the fourth battalion as an infantryman. Then we will see how I deal with you!"
The tank channels were all interconnected, so what Nong Tiancai said was also heard by people in all the armored battalions in the county. For a while, bursts of suppressed laughter sounded in the headset.
However, Nong Tiancai was not in the mood to pay attention to this at this time. At this time, he was commanding the soldiers of the third company to rush into the ammunition depot along the channel opened by the tank. At this time, he was even more anxious because he could already clearly understand
I heard the gunshots in the ammunition depot becoming more and more intensive. In this intensity of crossfire, the ammunition depot was in danger of being detonated at any time...
Qixia Pass, the original headquarters of the 684th Regiment has been occupied by Gao Hongming's Jiuzhan Magpie Nest.
Gao Jie didn't say anything about this, he just silently packed up his things and gave up the place.
Although several staff officers of the 684th Regiment were somewhat dissatisfied, facing the powerful Gao Hongming, they could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
"Regiment seat, the Second Battalion reported that reinforcements from a brigade in the direction of Qiuliu County have approached An County. They are less than five kilometers away from the Second Battalion's blocking position. Contact is expected in half an hour."
Gao Hongming was sitting on an artillery shell box, with a 100,000-to-1 map of Shanxi in front of him, listening to the report of the combat staff.
Hearing that Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Qiuliu County had arrived, he did not show any surprise, "Is there any movement in the direction of the First Battalion?"
"There has been no movement in the direction of the First Battalion. It is said that the Japanese troops in that direction were stopped by Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment when they were passing through Dagushan. The two sides are currently fighting fiercely."
"Did Chu Yunfei help us block the Japanese reinforcements?"
Gao Hongming couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect Chu Yunfei, who had only met once, to be so generous and block the Japanese reinforcements for him.
But then he thought that Chu Yunfei probably didn't have that much courage and authority.
There is a price to pay for fully blocking the Japanese reinforcements. If not, the 358th Regiment may have to pay considerable losses. Once the losses are too large, he, the commander of the regiment, will not be able to deal with it. It seems that he must have received instructions from Yan Laoxi.
Thinking of this, he calmed down a lot because he originally had a grudge against Yan Laoxi because of the incident at Qixiaguan.
It seems that Yan Laoxi is quite responsible, and he does not rely on his status to put pressure on himself. He knows that his subordinates did something wrong last time, so he took this opportunity to compensate me this time.
Since there is no need to worry about the direction of the 1st Battalion for the time being, we can focus on the reinforcements coming from the direction of Qiuliu County.
"Pass my order, the 1st Artillery Battalion is temporarily under the control of the 2nd Battalion, and we will do our best to deal with the reinforcements in Qiuliu County."
"clear!"
It is a dirt slope 20 miles away from Pingan County. It is only more than 300 meters away from the road, making it easy to control the road.
Major Jiro Nakagawa stood under a tree, frowning as he looked through the telescope at the Second Squadron that was attacking the Chinese position in the distance.
Nakagawa Jiro belongs to the 2nd Battalion of the 133rd Regiment of the 41st Division. He was originally stationed in Qiuliu County and two surrounding towns. After receiving the order to rush to Ping'an County urgently, Nakagawa Jiro assembled as quickly as possible.
The troops marched towards Ping'an County, but were sniped when they were twenty miles away from Ping'an County.
In his observation, although the Second Squadron's attack was tenacious, the firepower of the Chinese counterattack greatly exceeded his expectations, especially the excessively ferocious firepower of the machine guns on the opposite position.
You have to keep baring your teeth.
As the number of battles between the Liantai militia and the Japanese army increased, some information about the militia gradually spread among the Japanese army.
Nakagawa Jiro also received information from the division, saying that there was a newly emerged Liantai militia in China, all equipped with German weapons and equipment.
In particular, the machine gun they equipped has extremely fierce firepower. None of the existing machine guns in the empire, including the Type 92 heavy machine gun, can be its opponent. Not only that, this militia is also equipped with heavy artillery. The intelligence has repeatedly reminded that once
You must be extra careful when fighting this militia.
When he first saw this intelligence, Nakagawa Jiro sneered at it. In his opinion, the division staff must have drunk too much to issue such an obviously forged thing. Only now did he discover that the original intelligence
What is said here is actually true.
Seeing the attacking troops suffering heavy casualties under the opponent's fierce firepower, Nakagawa Jiro suddenly realized that the firepower of the Chinese sniper troops was so fierce, so what kind of pressure should Ping'an County, which was undergoing the main Chinese attack, bear?
Thinking of this, Nakagawa Jiro couldn't stand it any longer and said to the messenger next to him: "Let the artillery squadron bombard the Chinese positions immediately. Don't be stingy with ammunition. We must let the second squadron attack as quickly as possible."
Take down the Chinese position and then rush to Ping'an County to support you!"
"Hi!"
Just as the messenger was about to leave, a low whistling sound suddenly came from the sky, which seemed particularly dull.
Upon hearing this sound, Nakagawa Jiro was startled for a moment, then his expression changed. He fell to the ground without thinking, and shouted loudly: "It's a heavy artillery... everyone lies down..."
"boom……"
With a deafening explosion, the shell hit the forward position more than a hundred meters away from Jiro Nakagawa, which was originally the gathering place of the 1st Squadron.
Now after one shot was fired, a small team that was just assembled here disappeared in an instant.
