Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Wang Zhi was not discouraged, but turned to Li Chenzhe who was standing aside.
At this time, Li Chenzhe did not laugh at him like Wang Zhan, Xu Zhiyong and others, but touched his chin and pondered for a while before saying: "Wang Zhi, tell me, how likely is this thing to you?"
When Li Chenzhe said this, everyone around him was stunned. Wang Zhan stammered and asked: "What... what, Master, you... do you really think this can be done?"
"Yes!" Xu Zhiyong on the side also said anxiously: "Master, this is too unreliable. I have never heard of someone lying down half the time before engaging the enemy."
"What's the point? As long as the Ninety-Second Division can be brought to the table, what does it matter if it's not just a small part of the nest, but a big half of the nest?" Wang Zhi scoffed at these people's arguments. He was disdainful.
He said to a few people next to him: "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Let me calculate this for you. If you do the math, will our losses really be huge? Let me tell you, let's calculate this for you.
What, wouldn’t it be over if we just let the tank crews repair the tank? What did we lose? At most, it’s just some spare parts? But if we can bypass both sides of the road and go straight into the back road of the 92nd Division,
Then the credit for annihilating a Japanese division alone belongs to us. In this case, everyone in the entire army must look at our division with admiration!"
I have to say that Wang Zhi's words really touched everyone's heart, especially the honor of annihilating a Japanese division alone made people feel like eighteen mice were tickling everyone's hearts.
My heart was itching and panicking.
"That's it!" Li Chenzhe couldn't help but secretly calculate in his mind. The current establishment of the First Armored Division is three armored regiments. Each armored regiment is equipped with ninety-six T-34 tanks, as well as oil tankers, ammunition trucks, and battlefields.
There are several rescue vehicles. In addition, the armored division cannot only have tanks, but also needs infantry. Therefore, the armored division is also equipped with two motorized infantry regiments equipped with trucks. Of course, Suri does not want to equip the infantry with armored personnel carriers.
, but now that the armored division has just been built, Suri really does not have more technical personnel to serve these armored vehicles.
After doing some calculations in his mind, Li Chenzhe nodded: "Wang Zhi is right. Since there are hills and wilderness on both sides of the road, the road conditions are very unfavorable for tanks, so trucks cannot pass. Infantry can only walk.
In this case, it will be difficult to keep up with the speed of the tanks, and in this case they will be pulled down. Then there will be no infantry support in the early stage of the battle. Can you stop the Japanese troops who are jumping over the wall in a hurry?"
Seeing that Li Chenzhe seemed to be serious, everyone began to think about it. Finally, Wang Zhan said cautiously: "Master, as long as 60% of the tanks can penetrate behind the Japanese army this time, we can stop the Japanese army for one to two hours."
There’s no problem, but if it takes too long I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on!”
"Well, that's the truth." Xu Zhiyong also nodded. An armored regiment only has more than 90 but less than 100 tanks. Counting those that broke down on the road, it is estimated that only 50 or 60 tanks will reach the destination in the end.
, it seems like a lot at first glance. However, it is a bit daunting to withstand the counterattack of thousands of Japanese troops.
Wang Zhi came up with another idea: "Master, our tanks alone are very dangerous, but we can still carry infantry on the tanks. We can put the infantry on our tanks, and each tank can sit on a squad.
A dozen tanks are just one company, so our armored regiment can carry less than half of the infantry regiment. With the cooperation of our infantry brothers, I think we can completely encircle the 92nd Division."
"This is not safe. You must know that the Japanese are not fools. They also have two legs. If the back road is blocked, they can escape from both sides of the road." Wang Zhan still shook his head, and then added: "I think it is better to
The air force can help, even if they can only give us twenty minutes of air support, it would be good."
"Well, it's better to have air support than none." This time, Wang Zhi rarely argued with Wang Zhan, but nodded.
Xu Zhiyong also spoke: "Yes, as long as we use two armored regiments to block the front and rear, and there are two armored battalions next to each to occupy the commanding heights, plus the cooperation of the infantry, we want to completely annihilate the 92nd Division.
It should be doable!”
"Yes, our infantry regiment is not a coward. We are aware of the threat of Japanese firepower. Leave suicide attacks to us." These were the words of the two infantry regiment commanders on the side.
With everyone's words, the plan slowly came to light, and their eyes became brighter and brighter. Finally, Li Chenzhe punched the ground and said loudly: "Okay... just follow this.
Plan to do it. I command!"
"Wow!" Several officers who were sitting on the ground just now all stood up straight and looked at their commander solemnly.
Li Chenzhe said in a deep voice: "I ordered the Third Armored Regiment to stay in place and prepare for a head-on confrontation with the Japanese army. The First and Second Armored Regiments and the First and Second Motorized Infantry Regiments immediately crossed the road from both sides. The battle will begin in four hours.
It starts at 16:25 pm, and we must wipe out the Japanese 92nd Division!"
"yes!"
The unified voices of the crowd echoed on both sides of the road, and everyone's eyes showed a burning look. To annihilate a division alone, once they get this honor, the whole world will probably be shocked!
three hours later
"Boom...boom..."
A T-34 tank was spitting out green smoke, increasing the accelerator and struggling to rush up from a large pit. Next to it were more than a dozen soldiers holding iron chains and long wooden sticks to help. Zhou Xiaobo,
Lu Daliang and He Jin also pulled the chains upwards desperately. The driver Ma Dongchang opened the cover on his head and exposed his head. He was staring straight ahead with sweating profusely. His left and right hands grasped the two steering poles.
As he stepped on the accelerator, the exhaust pipe of the tank numbered 068 sprayed out thick blue smoke and roared in waves.
Finally, with the efforts of everyone, the tank moved and then scurried, finally rushed out of the big pit and stopped.
When the tank arrived on the flat ground, everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the ground. They had spent too much energy just trying to pull this big guy weighing dozens of tons out of the big hole.
.
Looking at everyone who was exhausted, Zhou Xiaobo cheered up, pushed and pulled everyone onto the tank, and continued to move forward...
