"Comrade commander, Zhou Qingfeng, leader of the regiment's independent tank platoon, is reporting to you. Our platoon has returned victoriously from completing its combat mission. Please give us instructions." Zhou Qingfeng stood upright with his chin raised. He cooperated with the five tanks pulled back behind him.
Xing', a 'Sherman', very proud.
The leader of the 178th Regiment was holding back his anger. In terms of age, he was enough to be Zhou Qingfeng's father. But in terms of momentum, he really wasn't enough now. The country army usually only captured the enemy's rifles and mortars.
Heavy artillery and heavy artillery are rare. Now they have captured several enemy tanks and brought them back.
"Boss Zhou, you have become more capable." The army has always judged achievements based on military exploits, and troops with outstanding military exploits are naturally more unruly. Army officers actually like their subordinates to be like little tigers. As long as they can win the battle, discipline will be better.
Can be relaxed a little.
"Since he has the ability, let him pull out the nails." The political commissar of the regiment on the side also smiled, obviously trying to give Zhou Qingfeng a hard nut to chew on.
"Captain, you know me very well. I'm good at pulling out nails." Zhou Qingfeng took advantage of the situation and wiped out the incident of running around against orders.
The so-called "Nails" are the remnants of the "Drysdale Detachment." Yesterday, this detachment, with more than a thousand troops, relied on heavy firepower such as tanks and armored vehicles to attack the blocking position of the 60th Division.
At this time, we can see the huge difficulties and harm caused by the severe cold to the volunteers. The Sixty Division had three regiments with more than 10,000 people. However, they occupied favorable terrain and failed to stop the US troops of more than 1,000 people.
Lieutenant Colonel Drysdale fought for his life and finally led more than 300 people into the besieged Xiajie Ouli to support the headquarters of the 1st Marine Division. However, one third of the detachment was intercepted, surrounded and trapped.
Halfway down the road, with one third to go..., unfortunately, I hit the IS-7 driven by Zhou Qingfeng.
There are still more than 200 people who are still resisting in one third of the area that is surrounded. The leader of this group is Major McLaughlin. This group of people is too much for the 178th Regiment to take advantage of.
Originally, the Volunteer Army was good at night fighting, but now the temperature can freeze people to death when it gets dark. Volunteer soldiers who lack food and clothing have a hard time surviving and are unable to fight at all. Major McLaughlin survived the night with the help of his firepower and God's help.
It's daybreak now, and the Yankee plane is coming soon. McLaughlin and his gang will definitely break through, and the 178th Regiment will most likely not be able to stop them.
As soon as the mission was handed down, Zhou Qingfeng said immediately: "Don't worry, captain. I promise to kill those Americans."
"Be careful of American planes," the political commissar said, afraid of what might come. Two F-4U Corsair fighter jets from the First Air Wing of the U.S. Navy roared across the sky, with bombs and bombs mounted under their iron wings.
Napalm bombs are a major threat to the Volunteer Army.
Seeing the carrier-based aircraft appearing in the sky, Major McLaughlin and his men, who had stayed up all night, were immediately overjoyed. They camped out in the wild all night, fearing that they would be annihilated by the volunteers. Now that they had air force cover, it was finally safe.
A way of escape appears.
"Get ready, we are about to break out." Major McLaughlin was very optimistic and kept boosting the morale of his subordinates who were surrounded. More than two hundred of them were trapped in a ditch, vehicle wreckage, and roadbed.
Within the simple position, seeing that they could escape, their morale immediately increased significantly.
"Sir, should we be careful about enemy tanks?" a Marine soldier reminded. They were trapped not far from the road. When Zhou Qingfeng returned with a group of tanks, he almost scared them to death.
"It doesn't matter, the 'Pirates' will solve everything." Major McLaughlin has absolute trust in the combat effectiveness of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft. It must be said that the U.S. Marine Corps and carrier-based aircraft units are elites, and their combat effectiveness is absolutely first-rate.
Under the instructions of McLaughlin's subordinates, the Corsair fighter jets were already strafing the volunteer soldiers outside the encirclement. When the napalm bomb exploded, it was a sea of fire. This was not something that could be countered by bravery and determination.
The soldiers of the 178th Regiment responsible for the siege also stayed up all night in the cold wind and low temperature. They suffered even more than McLaughlin, and they were at the end of their strength and could not attack at all.
Many soldiers lay down on the cold ground all night and turned into lumps of ice when they woke up in the morning. Now that they were bombed by US military planes, those who were still alive had no choice but to retreat.
"Okay, we can go." Major McLaughlin carefully observed the surrounding situation. He was still very careful about the enemies forming a circle outside. In his opinion, they were all inhuman existences. "Thank God, thank us.
Aviation."
Just when Major McLaughlin wanted to break out, Zhou Qingfeng was gritting his teeth and staring at the 'Pirate' carrier-based aircraft raging in the sky. He finally hid his tank, but he didn't want to go out and get bombed. IS-
7 No matter how good it is, it is still a land warfare weapon and cannot do anything against aircraft.
However, Zhou Qingfeng was not unprepared for this. His 100 million was spent wisely. If tanks cannot be used, then use anti-aircraft guns!
"Has the radar started working?" Zhou Qingfeng asked. He was referring to a US military SCR-584 radar installed on a construction vehicle. Early radars were bulky, heavy, and very cumbersome. The entire radar was divided into search, tracking, and fire control.
It is very troublesome to use multiple sub-systems.
In order to integrate these things without exceeding the technical level of 50 years, it took..., in fact, it didn't take much effort at all. If Zhou Qingfeng spent money, he could get the finished product from any optoelectronic laboratory in Shanghai.
It's an old technique, and it's really not a problem.
Although the performance is a little worse, the appearance is a little ugly, and the lifespan is a little short, but it can be used!
One engineering vehicle is equipped with a radar, and the other engineering vehicle is equipped with a 40mm-caliber Bofors anti-aircraft gun. The two implement semi-automatic control, and the radar information is transmitted to the anti-aircraft gun, and it can fire after aiming.
When the radar was set up and the anti-aircraft artillery removed its camouflage net, the universal tank trooper provided by 'GOD' acted as an anti-aircraft artillery unit, firing dozens of artillery shells into the sky with a bang.
The 'Pirate' in the sky was still a propeller fighter, and it flew very slowly when it dropped bombs at low altitude. As a result, one of them was hit when they encountered each other, and it hit the mountain with black smoke. The other 'Pirate' was frightened and quickly pulled up, but
As it climbed higher, it was like the door was wide open, and it was easily shot down by anti-aircraft artillery again.
As soon as the two 'Pirates' were finished, the soldiers on both sides below were dumbfounded. The volunteers did not expect that the plane could be shot down so easily. You must know that they had suffered enough from Yankee planes. And Major McLaughlin
Do you think God is joking with him?
"Isn't it? We haven't broken through yet, how come this 'Pirate' carrier-based aircraft was shot down?" McLaughlin's men were just getting ready to run away, but now that the carrier-based aircraft is gone, they can still run away.
?
After a while, a Sherman drove over from the hiding place. It crossed directly over the encirclement and pushed away the defense line built by McLaughlin and others. A volunteer officer stood on the turret, pointing the muzzle at the more than 200 American troops inside.
Soldier.
Major McLaughlin did not dare to move. Seeing that this obviously captured US tank did not fire, he could not help but straighten his body and take a few steps forward. In order to maintain the dignity of the Marines, he shouted to the volunteer officer on the turret: "
Are you here to surrender?"
The officer on the turret was condescending and looked at Major McLaughlin with a joking look, as if to say, 'I just won't speak, look at you as an idiot, pretending to be an idiot!'
