In an instant, a dense rain of bullets fell like rain on the field crawling with little devils. Each little devil had just laid down on the ground, and before they had time to shoot at the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside, they
Being beaten into a hornet's nest by this airtight rain of bullets, they didn't even have a chance to react, so they obediently went to see their Amaterasu.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is extremely cunning. We were fooled. We used the corpses of broken soldiers as cover and immediately built fortifications to wait for reinforcements...Bagaya Road..." Seeing his own soldiers, in front of him
In the sound of orders, they were all exposed to the enemy's machine gun fire, and all were lost in just a moment. The Japanese captain, who was already in a state of despair, couldn't help roaring loudly, and made a cruel move
Decision. However, maybe his brigade, God decided to die here. Just in the middle of his words, a tongue of fire swept across his back accurately. A bunch of blood spurted out,
The captain was shot several times and fell unwillingly into a pool of blood...
"Order the bugler to blow the charge bugle, and the troops begin to charge..." Looking at the little Japanese at the foot of the mountain, they have been almost completely destroyed by their intensive artillery fire and machine gun fire, and there is almost no room for fighting back. The division commander
Without any hesitation, Liu Hua immediately gave a loud order to Wang Benqing, the third brigade commander behind him.
"Commander, blow the charge bugle, the troops begin to charge...tick-tock...tick-tock...Comrades, charge..." As soon as the words of brigade commander Wang Benqing fell, in the mountains and forests, he remembered
There were loud blasts of charging horns. Immediately afterwards, there were loud shouts of killing coming from the woods. A soldier, like a tiger descending from the mountain, emerged from the woods where he was hiding and rushed out.
The battlefield was already in a mess, and sharp bayonets were thrust into the body of the little devil.
There is an unknown rule in the hesitation style, so basically no prisoners are taken. As long as the little devil is lying on the ground, whether alive or dead, the soldiers will rush up to patch him up.
One bayonet. Although this is very cruel. However, in Zhang Hua's words, these little devils who came to China to burn, kill and loot were originally inferior to animals. Since they are inferior to animals, of course they cannot treat animals like humans.
Although the soldiers faced the most elite Kwantung Army soldiers of the Japanese army. However, in the face of such intensive firepower and careful deployment, the more than a thousand little Japs in this brigade could not escape the result of the total annihilation of the entire army.
In the battle, less than half an hour passed from the first bullet fired by Liu Hua to the last little Japanese soldier who was stabbed to death by a soldier with a bayonet.
Half an hour later, the entire battlefield was filled with ruins. The corpses of the little Japanese lay scattered on the battlefield. More importantly, these corpses were destroyed under the intensive attack of the soldiers' machine guns and mortars.
After a few looks, it can be said that basically none of them is complete.
"Report to the division commander, the results of the battle and the losses of the troops have been calculated." Less than an hour after the soldiers launched the charge, Wang Benqing, commander of the third brigade, came to the division commander with a list and a smile on his face.
In front of Liu Hua. From his expression, Zhang Hua knew that the result of this victory must be very significant.
"The statistics have been calculated so quickly. Brigadier Wang, please tell me quickly. When we encounter the Kwantung Army, the most elite of the Japs, what is the proportion of losses between the enemy and us?" Liu Hua is also very anxious to know.
The final results and losses. Seeing Wang Benqing, he quickly asked.
"Yes, division commander. According to statistics, there were 1,125 people in a Japanese Kwantung Army brigade, and none of them slipped through the net. They were all wiped out by our army. As for the troops of the four regiments of our army, in half an hour of fighting, there were a total of 189 soldiers.
45 soldiers were seriously injured. In addition, 324 soldiers were slightly injured, but this did not affect their combat effectiveness and they could still continue marching. Therefore, not counting the lightly wounded soldiers, the fifth casualty ratio reached
An astonishing one to four. Commander, this is an amazing number..." Wang Benqing, the third brigade commander, replied with excitement on his face.
"Okay, a good fight. The ratio of losses between the enemy and us is one to four. It seems that in future battles, as long as we choose the terrain that is favorable to our army, concentrate our superior forces, and concentrate our superior firepower. Even the most elite of the little devils in Kanto
The army was also beaten to the ground by us." Hearing that his army only lost more than 200 people, Zhang Hua couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"Brigadier Wang, are there any others? Have you captured anything good? You know, what we ambushed is a standard brigade of little devils, and there is not even one little devil missing." Zhang Hua continued to ask with a smile.
road.
"Commander, you don't know, you are really right. This little devil, the Kwantung Army, is really rich. Basically each squad is equipped with three light machine guns, three grenade launchers, and one squadron is equipped with one squad.
For mortars, the brigade is equipped with a mountain artillery infantry artillery squadron, and it carries a lot of ammunition. After preliminary statistics, we captured a total of 56 intact vehicles, six Type 92 infantry guns, 12 heavy machine guns, and 24 mortars.
Doors, 30 grenade launchers, 34 light machine guns, and about 560 rifles. In addition, 700 rounds of infantry artillery shells and more than 3,000 rounds of mortar shells were seized. As for the remaining ammunition, there was so much that the soldiers simply
I don't have time to make detailed statistics, but all of them were installed on the 56 seized cars. Finally, there are various other military supplies, 9 pairs of telescopes, three radio stations... more than a thousand sets of various types of clothing, and enough canned food
Five large trucks were loaded. In addition, we also seized 1,125 sets of gas masks." Wang Benqing replied with a smile on his face.
"Well, it seems that the Japanese Kwantung Army's combat effectiveness is so strong for a reason. The firepower density of one brigade of them is enough to equal a brigade and a half of ordinary little devils. Haha, we are very lucky today.
, I picked up such a huge bargain for nothing, all the equipment and ammunition of a small Japanese group. Brigadier Wang, ordered the troops to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield, and immediately begin to retreat in half an hour." Zhang Hua ordered loudly.
,
As the troops slowly returned to the headquarters, the busiest person in the entire headquarters was Director Wang Daoguang of the Logistics Department. Faced with the seized weapons and ammunition, Wang Daoguang's eyes narrowed with joy.
Get up. However, when faced with the 12 captured tanks, although they knew they were good things, basically no one in the entire *** division had touched these things.
Facing the 12 tanks made of steel neatly placed at the entrance of the logistics warehouse, Wang Daoguang was very jealous of the steel and engines on the tanks. He wanted to dismantle them several times and send them to the arsenal.
Making bullets. However, he was eventually stopped by the Deputy Director of the Logistics Department. Wang Daoguang had no choice but to report the matter to the division commander Zhang Hua.
"Haha, I didn't expect that our logistics director would also have headaches... haha." After reading the report handed over by Wang Daoguang, the division commander Liu Hua said to the political commissar beside him with a smile.
"Mr. Commander, what's going on? You're laughing so happily. What's it about Director Wang that makes you so funny?" As the threat to the base area was lifted, the entire base area once again entered a period of prosperous development. Even the political commissar who never liked to laugh
, under such a good situation, I gradually became happy.
"Well, it's like this. I was so happy these days that I forgot to tell you. During the battle in Zhongyang Town a few days ago, we captured 12 tanks from a squadron of Little Devils. At that time, I thought tanks were a good thing, so I
I asked the soldiers to use cars to drag these steel monsters back. Unexpectedly, Wang Daoguang didn't know what to do when he saw these behemoths. He actually asked me if he needed to dismantle all these tanks to make bullets for the soldiers.
Artillery shells. Haha, this is a tank, a tank known as the king of land warfare. What a good thing it is. That Wang Daoguang simply treated the treasure as scrap metal." Liu Hua smiled at the puzzled political commissar beside him.
explained.
"Tanks, division commander, have we really captured 12 tanks?" As a political commissar, Luo Ronghuan had seen with his own eyes the scenes of Japanese tanks running rampant on the land of China. At the same time, he was terrified of tanks.
The fighting power is also very scary. Even I often fantasize that if my army is equipped with such good equipment, it will definitely beat the little devils everywhere.
However, thinking about it, this thing is absolutely impossible to achieve. As for tanks and other equipment, basically no one except the little devils has them. In addition, the diesel fuel for tanks cannot be provided by our own troops. In the end,
, even if there are tanks, no one in our own troops will use them.
However, after arriving at the Japanese Army, he saw the army's complete logistical supplies and a large number of cars and other means of transportation. Luo Ronghuan's mind once again thought of this infinitely powerful tank. However, although there are conditions now, they are limited to
The reason for the equipment can also only be imagined. Now that I heard that my own divisions were messing with the tanks, and even captured 12 tanks at once, how could the political commissar be unhappy? He couldn't help but shout out in excitement.
However, Luo Ronghua immediately discovered an important problem: "But, division commander, even if we have tanks, no one can drive them... This tank is a technical unit that ordinary people cannot drive at all."
"Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan's face was still full of excitement just now. When he said this, his face slowly returned to calm, and he let out a long sigh, obviously feeling very helpless.
"Haha, political commissar, don't worry about this. I promise that within a month, I will form our army for you. No, it is the first tank unit in the hands of our Eighth Route Army. However, this also needs
Political Commissar's help. Political Commissar, the more than a thousand students we brought back from Taiyuan last time have also been trained in the teaching group for such a long time. How about, have you found some of them who are excellent in ***?
And they are educated, high-quality soldiers..." Zhang Hua said with confidence. At the same time, he asked the political commissar beside him.
"Division Commander, among the more than a thousand trainees, they are basically all educated. Therefore, they know a lot of principles. In such a long time, more than a dozen people have joined the division after being approved by the division party committee.
Our *** has absolutely no problems in terms of ***. As for quality, I am not in charge of training, so I don’t know very well.” Although political commissar Luo Ronghuan didn’t know what Liu Hua wanted to do, he soon found out.
replied.
"There are more than a dozen people, that's enough. Political Commissar, give me the list of these people immediately. Our tank unit may rely on these people..." Zhang Hua nodded and said.
Of course, if you want to form a tank unit, you must have equipment. As for the 12 tanks placed at the entrance of the logistics warehouse, the division commander Liu Hua, who has never been inside, does not know whether these tanks can still be started. At the same time, these tanks
How much ammunition is left in it, what specific equipment is there, and what is the performance of the tank? This is what Liu Hua specifically wants to know....
Early the next morning, Zhang Hua led a battalion of security troops to clean up a large area around the logistics warehouse, with almost no soldiers visible. As the division commander, Liu Hua personally
He got into a tank and began to check the weapons, ammunition and equipment in the tank.
After about a few minutes of inspection, Zhang Hua was pleased that although the equipment of the tanks at this time was very crude, even the protective armor was very weak. However, for the backward China, it can be said that it is a
A very deadly weapon capable of mass destruction.
More importantly, except for the more than a hundred rounds of ammunition and two artillery shells fired in the battle, all the remaining weapons and equipment of the tank he was in were almost intact. The total included a 57mm tank gun.
, there are 298 rounds of artillery shells left, and two vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns. One heavy machine gun is distributed on the side of the tank, and one heavy machine gun is distributed on the front end of the tank. The two heavy machine guns have more than 5,800 rounds of ammunition left.
What makes Liu Hua even more happy is that although the caliber of the enemy tank gun is very special, the caliber of its vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun is exactly the same as the Type 92 heavy machine gun equipped by the Little Japanese Army and can be used universally. This
This indicates that there will be no shortage of ammunition supplies for these dozen tanks in future battles.
In addition to checking the weapon equipment and the tank's protective capabilities, the rest depends on whether the tank can be started.
Liu Hua, who had never operated a tank of this era, was a little nervous at first. But when he entered the driver's seat, he saw that there were only a joystick, a throttle... and a few simple steps.
* Working in the cab of the tool, he was completely relieved. Because, in his eyes, the tank in front of him was just like the tractor of his time, very easy.
"Boom, boom, boom..." There was a roar of the engine, and a lot of black smoke was spit out from the rear of the tank. Liu Hua started the tank he was in. Liu Hua, who was sitting in the driving position, listened to the driving
The buzzing roar in the cabin, feeling the vibration of the tank, slowly entered the role. As the accelerator was slowly stepped on, the tank that was still stationary just now was actually controlled by his division commander.
, slowly began to understand. After a while, the tank made a full circle around the yard of the logistics department.
After the inspection of one tank was completed, Liu Hua began to inspect the remaining tanks one by one. Finally, after nearly half a day of work, the 12 vehicles that were pulled back found that except for two tanks whose engines were damaged,
In addition to being temporarily unable to start, the remaining ten tanks were completely able to start. However, the front ends of seven of the tanks were beaten into a hornet's nest by the anti-aircraft machine guns of the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, with bullet holes everywhere.
Of course, the harvest of ten intact tanks is already very good for Liu Hua. Because in his mind, he only needs nine tanks to form his first armored force. As for Liu Hua, he only needs nine tanks.
The remaining three are undoubtedly used as accessories.
"Director Wang, I have important uses for these intact tanks, and they will be used within a week. Therefore, I give you an important task, which is to ask the comrades from the arsenal to come over and help me put the tanks
I welded all the bullet holes on the front. As for the remaining two tanks that couldn't be started, I dismantled them into parts, but all these parts must be kept. It is forbidden to resold them to make bullets. How about that? Is there any problem?
"Looking at the row of 12 tanks in front of him, Liu Hua ordered Wang Daoguang in front of him.
"Commander, don't worry. I, Wang Daoguang, will definitely complete the task you personally assigned. After a week, I guarantee that no more bullet holes will be found in these 10 tanks." Wang Daoguang assured loudly.
With the equipment resolved, all that remains are the soldiers and commanders of the newly formed armored regiment. Of course, the soldiers are not a problem at all for the *** division with tens of thousands of people. There are three guard regiments and one regiment.
If you randomly draw the strength of a company, the strength of this armored regiment will be enough.
However, the only thing that troubled Liu Hua was the choice of commander of the armored regiment. He originally wanted to select a qualified commander among all the cadres at regiment level or above in the *** division. However, when he thought about his own unit
When the cadres in the army basically didn't even know what a tank was, Liu Hua completely gave up on this unrealistic idea. You know, if you don't even know the tank in your hand, how can you command the tank to fight.
