When the monk and the correspondent found the tank, they met Wang Xuexin who was busy organizing defenses on the front line.
"The radio is broken, we are looking for parts!" The monk hid in the crater where Wang Xuexin was, raised his head in the direction of the cave, handed Wang Xuexin a cigarette, and asked: "How about it, this battle can't be difficult for you, right?"
"It must be hard!" Wang Xuexin took the cigarette and thought to himself, if this is going to be hard, can you still see the person?
The monk still stared in the direction of the tank, and said reluctantly: "The captain refused to use this thing...it was a waste to blind such a big guy!"
Wang Xuexin couldn't help but laugh. This tank is not ready to be used. Without months of training, how can the several people inside cooperate? How can they go to the battlefield?
Even if the tank crews are organized, Li Yunlong is right. The Japanese still have six tanks. Can tankers like Monk, who have just started, knock over the Japanese tanks one by one?
The monk looked at Wang Xuexin and made up his mind: Although the leader did not listen to me, he obeyed Xiao Dongbei's words. If this can convince Xiao Dongbei...
Thinking of this, the monk came up to him, put his hand on Wang Xuexin's shoulder, shook his hands and asked, "Xiao Dongbei, are we brothers?"
Wang Xuexin rolled his eyes at the monk and replied simply: "It doesn't count!"
How could Wang Xuexin not know what the monk was planning? How could he jump into a pit?
"Hey, you can't say such nonsense!" The monk immediately became angry: "We have fought against the Bobcats together and have a life-and-death relationship. How can we not be considered brothers?"
Without waiting for Wang Xuexin's reply, the monk continued: "Xiao Dongbei, others say that my monk only knows how to fight against enemies. He is good at fighting against Japanese invaders. He is good at fighting against his own people. Can a brother like you swallow this?"
"But... isn't that what it is?" Wang Xuexin made the monk so angry that he almost died.
It turned out that the monk was very skilled, and the soldiers often suffered losses when fighting him.
And because the monk is a guard and has few opportunities to go to the battlefield, people always criticize him: "What are you doing to yourself? Do you have the ability to fight against the Japanese like Xiao Dongbei?"
The monk had the most respectable face, so these words became a problem for him.
Now that I have handed over a tank and started driving it again, it would be so easy to give up this opportunity.
Seeing that Xiao Dongbei was not fooled, the monk thought for a while and used the aggressive method. He raised his head and said, "I know, you are just worried that I will overtake you on the tank!"
Wang Xuexin, who was taking a puff of a cigarette, almost choked: "You are at your level, but you still want to fight the Japanese while standing on a tank? It would be nice if you don't risk your own life!"
"How will you know if you don't try?" The monk was unwilling to give in: "If we continue to fight like this, how long can our independent group fight?"
Wang Xuexin was speechless.
What the monk said is true. The current situation is indeed serious, especially since the independent regiment is almost running out of rockets and directional mines.
But if you just pull the tank out and fight it, it will be the same as dying, unless...
Then Wang Xuexin's eyes lit up and he said: "Monk, I'm not sure, we can really give it a try!"
"You have to try!" The monk patted Wang Xuexin on the shoulder and said, "These are the brothers! Let's go and talk to the leader together!"
Li Yunlong was losing his temper because of the radio incident. When he heard that Wang Xuexin was here to lobby for the monk, his temper suddenly rose: "Xiao Dongbei, you are also a company commander after all, how come you are as knowledgeable as the monk?
Apart from anything else, it’s hard for him to drive a tank in a straight line, but he still wants to drive it to fight the Japanese? Isn’t this nonsense?”
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin said, "It might be nonsense if we fight during the day, but what if we fight at night?"
It is well known that Japanese tanks are not capable of night combat.
If you can't see or have combat effectiveness, wouldn't it be the same if you have training or not?
Li Yunlong also knew this truth, but he replied without thinking: "I said Xiaodongbei, are you confused? This monk can't drive steadily during the day, but can it bloom at night? Besides, this tank is going to be there
If you don’t have fighting ability at night, then why fight? Isn’t it just a blind man riding a blind horse and scurrying around?"
"What we want is to run around randomly!" Wang Xuexin replied.
"How do you say that?" Li Yunlong asked puzzledly.
Wang Xuexin pulled up the map, pointed to the dots on it and explained: "Commander, look, the Japanese have deployed heavy troops to the east to attack the 73.7 Highlands, and there are only small groups in other directions! If we move the hill to
Breakout from the west..."
"This is not possible!" Zhao Gang, who was sorting out documents on the side, interrupted Wang Xuexin: "We can't break out until the task is completed!"
"Old Zhao!" Li Yunlong said helplessly: "I'm just pretending, I don't really want to break through!"
Zhao Gang said "Oh", then came up and asked: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, this 73.7 Highland is the focus of our defense. If we don't break out... once this high ground is lost, can we still hold it?"
Li Yunlong cast doubtful eyes on Wang Xuexin, which was also what worried him.
Wang Xuexin explained: "Political Commissar, that's why the Japanese were fooled! As soon as we break out to the west, the Japanese will definitely have to chase us. If anything can be chased quickly... it's tanks and armored vehicles! Let's move the tanks out again at this time.
If you open it, won't you sneak into the enemy tank?"
"Wait a minute!" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "What do you mean by sneaking into the enemy's tank?"
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin said: "Our tanks are staying in that cave, and the entrance of the cave is sealed in disguise. When the Japanese tanks come up, our tanks will open out... won't they get in?"
These words immediately confused Li Yunlong.
Damn Xiao Dongbei, you can think of this method. Usually the Japanese use infantry to play infiltration warfare against us, but this guy... is using tanks to play infiltration warfare against the Japanese!
Cruel enough!
It’s so interesting!
Zhao Gang still had some doubts. He frowned and asked, "Xiao Dongbei, if the Japanese infantry saw this, wouldn't they have to reveal their secrets?"
"Political commissar!" Wang Xuexin said: "If there is danger, just go out of the hole, but can't we let off smoke? Then use the 50 cannon to fire a few shells there, on the one hand to attract the attention of the Japanese, and on the other hand to add some smoke.
After coming out...the Japanese infantry took it for granted that it was their own tank!"
Zhao Gang nodded.
The Japanese had the impression that the Eighth Route Army had no tanks, let alone the Type 97. Of course they would not suspect that it was an enemy tank!
"When the time comes..." Wang Xuexin continued: "Our tank is either facing the muzzle of the Japanese tank on some battlefield, or it is facing the butt of the Japanese tank. We can aim slowly or even chase after it.
If you aim and fire, you'll hit a mess of a Japs and you still don't know what's going on. Our troops will kill him with a carbine..."
