Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth night attack
The sound of "squeaking" keeps coming from afar. Any veteran with a little experience knows that there is only one thing that can make such a heartbreaking sound on the battlefield, and that is a tank, and the Japanese are used to it
Call this kind of thing a chariot.
Yes, they are tanks, and there are a lot of them.
Soon, the creaking sound became louder and louder. When they were more than 500 meters away from the Japanese position, all the tanks suddenly turned on their headlights, and hundreds of white lights illuminated the Japanese position.
Be like the day.
Some people may say that if you turn on the headlights in the dark, won't they become torches in the night, which can easily attract Japanese artillery fire?
This is the truth, but it is not the case. The current Japanese army has been bombarded by artillery fire for more than half an hour. Even the 39th Division, no matter how elite it is, cannot recover for a while. In addition, the Japanese army has always lacked attention to anti-armor weapons.
This also resulted in that they did not have many anti-armor weapons, so even if they discovered the situation ahead, they could not respond quickly.
Soon, the tank group with their headlights turned on advanced towards the Japanese position at a slow but determined speed. The roar of the tanks alarmed the entire Japanese position, and those on the front line who had not yet recovered from the shelling were
Under the shouts of the officers, the Japanese troops ran towards the bombed-out positions. Some of them wanted to dig up the floating soil to rescue the heavy weapons buried underneath, while some of the bold ones were looking for ammunition in a panic.
, desperately trying to hang explosives and grenades on himself.
In the dark night, the Japanese soldiers opened fire in the face of the continuous lights. However, the sporadic gunshots had no effect on the rumbling waves. On the contrary, they attracted counterattacks. More than a dozen tanks were seen parked in front of them.
Coming down, the turret was slowly rotating, and streaks of orange-red fire flashed by. More than a dozen violent explosions sounded, and several firing machine gun fire points flew up to the west sky with the explosions.
"Quickly...organize warriors immediately to drive out the Chinese chariots?"
The desperate Japanese commanders had no choice but to resort to their most commonly used and last resort. Hundreds of soldiers carrying explosive bags or hanging grenades screamed and rushed out of their hiding spots to face the steel ahead.
The torrent rushed over.
These Japanese soldiers originally planned to use the cover of darkness to get close to the slowly approaching tanks and blow them up. But the effect was not very great, because under the illumination of hundreds of tanks and flares, the sky now is no worse than during the day.
How many, and each tank was followed by at least one squad of soldiers. Before the Japanese soldiers could get close, they were strafed, and most of the Japanese soldiers had to fall down under the hail of bullets.
"boom……"
A huge fire shot up into the sky in the dark night. It turned out to be an unlucky T-34 tank. A Japanese soldier hiding in a blind spot pulled the explosive pack on his back and blew up the tracks, causing the entire tank to explode.
Stopped.
When the smoke from the explosives dissipated, the cover on the top of the tank was opened, and an armored soldier wearing a leather cap specially designed for tankers struggled to climb out. The first thing he did when he climbed out was to shout loudly: "Here comes someone."
.Is there anyone? Come over quickly and help me lift my brother out of the car!"
In the dark night, more than a dozen soldiers wearing steel helmets came up from behind and ran over quickly. The leader, a soldier with a submachine gun and whose rank could not be seen clearly, supported the tank soldier and asked: "Brother, how are you? Are you okay?
?”
The tank soldier said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine. Come over and help me. Help me get out the brothers in the car. They were all knocked unconscious by the Japanese explosives."
"This is simple." The soldier waved his hand: "Brothers, come here and lift the brothers out of the tank quickly. Remember to be gentle and don't bump into them."
"Okay, no problem!" The soldiers behind him climbed onto the tank after hearing the order. A soldier got into the tank and quickly lifted out the three or four armored soldiers in the tank and laid them flat on the ground.
After rescue, the stunned armored soldiers woke up one after another. It was only then that the armored soldier who came out first took a long breath. He walked up to the leading soldier and said: "Brother.
Thank you so much. It was too dark here just now. I didn't notice the Japs in the corner, so I let him pull the explosives. Fortunately, the brothers in the car were okay, otherwise I really don't know how to give them to them.
My parents wrote a letter. My name is Chang Xiaochun, lieutenant and platoon leader of the 1st Platoon, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Company, 1st Tank Regiment, 1st Armored Division, brother, what do you call me?"
"You're welcome." The leading soldier also smiled, showing his white teeth: "I am Liu Yi, the commander of the first company of the second battalion of the 597th Regiment of the 400th Division. It was our fault for what happened just now. It was because we did not have cover.
Okay. Fortunately, you were only slightly injured, but it doesn’t matter, you’ll be fine after just resting for a while.”
After a few polite words, the two became familiar with each other. Soldiers were all straight-tempered, and they knew they were good brothers. Chang Xiaochun took this opportunity to inspect the tank and relaxed with relief.
Take a breath.
"His grandma's. Fortunately, there is no serious damage to the tank. Only the track on the left was damaged by the explosion. It will be repaired in a while! Commander Liu, my brothers have difficulty moving now. Can you ask your brothers to
I'll lend a hand, and let's repair the tank quickly, and maybe we can catch up with the battle."
"No problem." Liu Yi readily agreed. He waved back and greeted, and more than a dozen soldiers immediately came over to help.
Chang Xiaochun moved a tool box from the car and began to repair the damaged track, while Liu Yi was responsible for handing over the tools.
Chang Xiaochun chatted with Liu Yi while repairing the tank: "Sir Liu, shouldn't your company have one or two hundred people? Why do you only have so few people around you?"
Liu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Don't mention it. It was fine when we set off, but everything went into chaos as soon as we charged. It was impossible to maintain the formation at all. The dozen or so people around me still remembered to follow me.
, otherwise I would be a mere commander now."
"Sir Liu, don't worry about this. After my tank is repaired, everyone will get on the tank to make sure I don't miss you. By the way, hand over the wrench below!" Chang Xiaochun slapped his chest loudly.
While he was constantly repairing the tank.
At this time, a soldier next to him handed Chang Xiaochun a wrench and said with envy: "Sir Chang, your armored troops are really good. I heard that you get promoted very quickly here. Platoon leaders like you all have the rank of lieutenant.
If you want to be promoted to lieutenant, you must at least be a company lieutenant."
Chang Xiaochun smiled: "What are you envious of? Our training is much harder than yours, why don't you say anything? And if you want to be promoted quickly, you have to belong to those guys in the Air Force. A rookie who has just graduated from an aviation school can't do it."
If he has the rank of sergeant or even second lieutenant, his promotion is like flying on an airplane. Can this person compare with others?"
While talking, the tracks of the tank were quickly repaired, and the stunned tank crewmen next to them also woke up one after another. After resting for a while, they checked that there was nothing serious, and they quickly climbed into the tank. The driver
After some tinkering, the tank trembled and a puff of smoke came out, and the tank was able to move again.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yi quickly greeted him, and more than a dozen soldiers climbed onto the tank after him. Then a thick black smoke came out of the butt of the tank and rushed forward...
Just as Liu Yi and the others continued to attack the Japanese positions, in Susong County, located at the junction of Anhui and Hubei, the commander of the 39th Division, Shan Xie Zhenglong, was already disturbed by the rumbling gunfire and the constant emergency reports coming from the front.
It made me miserable.
A major trotted over and reported: "Your Excellency, the division commander, Colonel Fukunaga Yukichi called. His 231st Regiment is now being violently attacked and surrounded by Chinese tanks. There are already two brigades with him.
Lost contact, and now he is leading the Third Battalion to resist in Futian Town relying on the village. Colonel Yukichi Fukunaga is requesting urgent tactical guidance!"
"Baga, now where do you want me to find reinforcements for him? Immediately order Yuki Fukunaga to contact the two separated brigades immediately. He must defend Futian Town. If he loses his position, you will have him caesarean.
Thank you to the Emperor!"
"Hai!"
Seeing Shan Xie Zhenglong's angry expression, the staff officer did not dare to say anything and ran out quickly.
Shan Xie Zhengtong, who had driven away the staff, was about to sit down, but he stood up again after thinking about it. He quickly walked to the map and saw a staff officer using a light to use a small red flag to flag down the enemy.
The place mark went up. Shan Xie Zhenglong couldn't help but gasped after looking at it. From the map, the Thirty-ninth Division with Susong County as the center has been surrounded by small red flags. These
The little red flag was like a big, bloody mouth, biting towards the 39th Division.
Looking at the map in front of him, Shan Xie Masataka murmured: "The Chinese attack is too fierce. If the reinforcements cannot arrive on time, the entire army will be in danger of collapse."
After saying that, Shanxie Masataka immediately shouted loudly: "Sakai-kun, come here!"
"Hai!" Soon a short and fat colonel strode over. This person was Sakai Miyaque, the chief of staff of the 39th Division.
Shan Xie Masataka stared at the Sakai Palace and asked: "Sakai-kun, where is the position of the 15th Division now?"
Sakai Palace replied respectfully: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, since the 15th Division is on the march, we are unable to get in touch with them now, but when the 15th Division last contacted us two hours ago, they had already arrived.
Jiang County, we expect to be here at noon tomorrow."
"Yo Xi, very good!" Shan Xie Zhenglong nodded with satisfaction: "As long as we can support until the arrival of the 15th Division, then not only can we persevere, but we may also be able to inflict heavy damage on the Chinese people on the opposite side!"
