The soldiers were very fast, and more than half an hour later Wang Xuexin was commanding the tank to drive on the road to Yucun.
The advantage of following Li Yunlong is that once this guy sees something he is sure about, he will move forward regardless of the cost, and he will step aside from any orders or discipline, so his efficiency in doing things is surprisingly high.
Li Yunlong didn't even say anything to the political commissar Zhao Gang... In fact, the political commissar couldn't hide it. After all, the entire independent regiment had to march towards Yucun. It was impossible to secretly leave Zhao Gang and the others here, right?
But Li Yunlong's character is like this. No matter what he does, he does it vigorously and resolutely before talking about it. He will deal with possible interference or obstacles only when they are too serious.
This time the tank was not on the road alone, there were twelve shoulder bags with it.
These shoulder straps were all seized from the Japs... When the Japs reconnaissance team was first annihilated, four were captured.
In fact, five vehicles were captured, but the one at the front was riddled with holes from the steel balls of the directional mine. It smoked when it was started, and then caught fire, so only four vehicles were left.
Later, during the counterattack, eight more vehicles were captured, making a total of twelve vehicles.
There are "Japs" sitting on these saddles, with three people sitting on each saddle. There is also a Type 96 light machine gun mounted on the sidecar.
Usually the Japanese would equip a sidecar with a crooked machine gun, but this machine gun had many flaws and even the Eighth Route Army did not like to use it, so it was changed to the Type 96.
Anyway, there are quite a lot of various types of equipment seized this time, and they will all go to waste if they are not used.
The Type 96 machine gun is similar to the Type 97 vehicle-mounted machine gun in the tank. They are both imitations of Czech machine guns. The difference is that the former is considered a light machine gun when firing 6.5 mm rifle ammunition, while the latter is considered a heavy machine gun when firing 7.7 mm rifle ammunition (Type 99 rifle).
Li Yunlong had some doubts about this: "Xiao Dongbei, why are we pretending to be devils? Can't the tanks just rush forward? Just the earthen walls and gun towers in Yucun, wouldn't they hit a large area?"
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin explained: "The devils have an infantry cannon in their hands, and the infantry cannon can be disassembled and moved to high places to be reassembled. We only have one tank. If it is hit by the infantry cannon, it will all be destroyed."
It’s over!”
Wang Xuexin didn't say the other half. He was the commander of the tank. He only had one life. How could he be careless?
What's more, it doesn't take much to pretend to be a devil. Just change your clothes. If you are discovered, it will be the same if you attack!
Li Yunlong thought about it and thought it was right, so he nodded in agreement.
Wang Xuexin made some preparations before setting off. He put all the captured 7.7mm bullets into the tank... The Japanese did not have many such bullets, because the production of Type 99 rifles was not large, and the Japanese standard was Type 38, which
Bullets are only used by tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy machine guns.
This is also the reason why the Type 96 machine gun is used in the shoulder bag.
If they all use the same kind of bullets, it is convenient during combat and can complement each other, but there will be a problem of insufficient use.
Fortunately, several tanks were damaged without exploding, including the Type 97 that was hit by armor-piercing bullets. There were many 7.7 bullets left in these tanks.
After plundering all these tanks, we collected more than 6,000 rounds in total, including magazines and belts... When tanks were fighting, there was no time or extra manpower to press the bullets, so they were prepared before the battle.
The fuel tank is also full, just pump fuel from other tanks.
The more troublesome thing is that the Japanese used gasoline for their backpacks and diesel for their tanks, and the uninformed monk almost mixed the two types of oil.
In addition, all the artillery shells have been replenished...
When the Type 97 driven by Wang Xuexin was captured, it had a hundred rounds without firing a single one, of which twenty were armor-piercing rounds. After the war, Laojiu only fired five rounds in total.
Since only Type 97 tanks were equipped with Type I anti-tank guns, the shells could only be handed over from the penetrated Type 97 tanks.
A total of forty-five rounds of artillery shells were surrendered, including seventeen armor-piercing rounds.
Wang Xuexin asked Laojiu to replace all armor-piercing bullets with grenades.
In fact, there is little need for armor-piercing bullets on the Chinese battlefield. Even if you are fighting against a Japanese tank, you don't need armor-piercing bullets. The thin-skinned ones can also be penetrated by grenades.
Wang Xuexin kept the extra artillery shells and armor-piercing shells in the logistics department for emergencies.
Wang Xuexin guessed that the reason why the Japanese had been equipping the Type 97 with armor-piercing projectiles was because they planned to avenge Nomen Han's revenge on the Mao Xiong, so they moved the Type 97 to the Chinese battlefield for training.
(Note: The Japanese have never given up the war against Mao Xiong. In 1941, their allies invaded Mao Xiong. The Japanese organized a special Kwantung Army exercise, referred to as the "Kwantung Exercise", intending to coordinate with their allies to attack Mao Xiong, but in the end
Didn’t dare to take action)
Full of fuel, full of shells, super machine gun shells.
Since coming to this world, Wang Xuexin has been fighting with backward equipment and insufficient ammunition. Suddenly there is a tank, and it is filled with ammunition as much as possible, giving Wang Xuexin a sense of accomplishment.
A fulfilling and illusory feeling.
The tank was driving staggeringly on the bumpy road. Lao Jiu was lying in the cabin with two balls of paper stuffed in his nose to stop the bleeding. When he had nothing to do, he rummaged around inside with a flashlight, and found a dozen cans in the supply box.
Canned meat.
Laojiu originally thought that these cans were like the ones he had eaten before, which were canned meat with vegetables and a little offal. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened it and ate it, he immediately said "Hmm" and threw a can to everyone without saying a word.
Wang Xuexin looked at it under the flashlight. The packaging was a little different. There was a white border on the cover paper. You couldn't notice it if you didn't pay attention. It should be a can specially supplied to tank soldiers.
After opening it, I picked out some and put it in my mouth...it was really genuine beef, with a mellow sweet sauce and rich beef flavor, which was indescribably delicious.
Gangzi didn't care that two of his front teeth fell out and his mouth was full of blood. He ate one bite after another, and later he grabbed it with his hands and stuffed it greedily into his mouth.
Only the monk who drove the tank couldn't eat because he had to drive the tank with both hands. He shouted anxiously: "Hey, hey... save some for me!"
Gangzi grabbed a small handful with three fingers, stirred it in the jar for more sauce, then put it into the monk's mouth and said: "Remember this, take a few bites and wait for a while."
You have to pay me back!”
The monk chewed it in his mouth, and after a while he praised: "Damn it, it's real beef. I'll be satisfied with another bottle of wine!"
Wang Xuexin said: "You drive a tank and still want to drink?"
The monk turned around and replied: "Believe it or not, I am more energetic when driving a tank after drinking alcohol! I am sure I can crush more Japanese!"
"This is not possible!" Wang Xuexin said: "This time, if we successfully enter the city gate, you have to stay there and drive wherever I tell you to go, and you have to go slowly!"
"Don't!" The monk was a little anxious: "That would be too boring!"
Wang Xuexin replied: "If you are not happy, I will ask the group leader to change to someone else..."
"No, no, no..." the monk replied helplessly: "Zhong, I listen to you! Damn it, if I had known that driving a tank was laborious and there were no enemies to fight, I wouldn't have rushed to open it!"
