I recall that back then, Deputy Commander Lin led the Four Fields into the Northeast during the major counterattack. At that time, Little Japan was finished, and all kinds of equipment were concentrated in cities or scattered in the countryside, so the soldiers in the Four Fields collected weapons and equipment everywhere.
Later, when Duke Chang started the civil war, the four wild people came in from outside the customs. They were all blinding and making people mad. Of course, their combat power also exploded in an instant. They caught the elites of the party and state and beat them repeatedly. It was a majestic thing.
!
But comparing Japanese weapons with American weapons, they are like heaven and earth. Just the supplies of a regiment-level station in Gutuli made the 60th Division of the Volunteer Army a fortune. Not to mention the weapons and ammunition, it was only attached to the 1st Marine Regiment.
A medical company can be regarded as a treasure by a bunch of rustic officers.
However, Zhou Qingfeng was still agitating hard, preaching to the leaders at the regiment level and above that he could contact: "What is Gutuli? There are more in Xingnan Port! According to the prisoners, there are more than 10,000 trucks of all kinds in Xingnan Port alone.
Five thousand vehicles, the total of all materials is 350,000 tons."
What is the concept of 350,000 tons? When the volunteers heard this number, all they could imagine in their minds was a mountain of treasures. You must know that with the current logistics capabilities of the locals, even if the US military does not carry out aerial strangulation, they will transport
Less than 350,000 tons of supplies.
Because in an era when rags and rags are treasures, we are really poor!
The words that came out of Zhou Qingfeng's mouth made the Sixty Division's blood boil with excitement. Xingnan Port was simply a big fat piece of meat, which made people feel sorry if they didn't take a bite. Especially when the Sixty Division sent out
When the reconnaissance company sent back a message saying that the 3rd U.S. Army Division blocking the road had been tricked by Zhou Qingfeng and suffered heavy casualties from one of his own bombings, a group of leaders at the division headquarters made a life-threatening decision - the entire division would attack and attack directly.
Wulaoli.
Take advantage of his illness and kill him! Even if we can't take Xingnan Port, we must at least pick up the enemy of the 3rd U.S. Army Division. We must not let go of the big fish belly that just suffered a heavy blow.
It was already nine o'clock at night, but the entire Sixty Division, which had fought hard all day, was in high spirits, full of energy, and extremely high in morale. They were all roaring after having had enough to eat and drink.
It was originally decided that the crippled 178th Regiment would serve as the assault force and go out first. As a result, the division felt that this plan was too conservative and decided that the 178th Regiment would stay in Gutuli, leaving the 179th and 18th Regiment with better strength.
The Zero Two Regiments acted as a commando team and followed Zhou Qingfeng to fight out.
Zhou Qingfeng's regiment-affiliated independent tank platoon was immediately expanded into a division-affiliated rapid column, and its strength increased to a battalion. Zhou Qingfeng, the leader of the front line, was promoted and became the acting battalion commander.
The rest of the tank platoon all rose to the sky, the platoon deputy became the battalion deputy, the ‘Old Machine Gun’ became the first company commander, and ‘Zhao Jingyan’ who joined later became the battalion instructor in the blink of an eye.
"Time waits for no one. The rapid column set out immediately to capture Wulaoli and open the way for the troops to follow up the attack." The leaders of the 60th Division also felt that they wanted to expand their results and better support the main forces in Liutanli and Xiajieyuli.
battlefield.
The commander ordered that Zhou Qingfeng immediately drove the IS-7 and headed straight to Wulaoli in the south with a group of proud soldiers. Behind him, more than 2,000 people from the 179th Regiment were being reorganized and prepared to set off in trucks, all of them American soldiers.
The weapons also used armored vehicles equipped with machine guns and small cannons to clear the way, which was very impressive.
At this moment, Wulaoli, more than 20 kilometers away, was full of victims. The 65th Regiment, which originally wanted to fight to Gutu, could not leave, so they had to turn around and go back to rescue the 33rd Regiment, which was bombed and was unable to take care of itself.
Wulaoli is not the focus of the US military's defense. The terrain here is relatively open and the complete fortifications have not been repaired at all. The 65th Regiment that returned was helpless against the gasoline bombs burning everywhere. They could only rescue some of the wounded from the fire and comfort them as much as possible.
Frightened companion.
But unlucky enough to drink cold water, the third division went to the battlefield tremblingly. With poor combat effectiveness, they had no confidence in winning. Now they were innocently subjected to a bombing, and the 65th Regiment discovered during the rescue process that the division
The Nanbang soldiers fled again.
Fuck!
"Organize a war supervision team for me. Anyone who dares to escape will be shot immediately!" The commander of the 65th Regiment was so angry that he had to deal with the problem of deserters at such a difficult time. The furious US military was even more jealous.
I urgently need to find a weakling to vent my feelings to.
Wulaoli is a place where rivers meet, and the folded mountains become gentle here. The convenient terrain allows deserters to have many escape routes. Due to the large number of the Third Division and the fire burning in Wulaoli, part of the 65th Regiment
The Nanbang soldiers did not go south, but became confused and fled to the north.
Colonel Harris, the commander of the 65th Regiment, sent an armored convoy to the north to pursue the fleeing Nanbang soldiers. After all, if the desertion was not curbed, this unit would be completely unable to fight in the future.
The person in charge of leading the pursuit was Colonel Damour of the Second Battalion. He rode an M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and crossed the cordon of the regiment's reconnaissance troops with anger.
When the colonel chased him less than two kilometers away, he found about a hundred Nanbang deserters running around on the road. But before the colonel could issue a warning, he discovered that this group of deserters was not fleeing northward, but was fleeing as if they were desperate.
The north ran back again.
Hey... could it be that these Nanbang soldiers realized their mistakes and decided to change their ways?
Colonel Damore was baffled at first, but he soon discovered that the reason why this group of deserters fled back was because a more ruthless group came behind them. The tracks were rumbling and the night dew was ferocious. It took Zhou Qingfeng's fast column an hour.
After running more than 20 kilometers on mountain roads, they came back to fight.
"Tank!" the machine gunner on the leading armored vehicle, who was responsible for watching the road, exclaimed shrilly. The vehicle following him was hit by several small-caliber armor-piercing rounds and was torn to pieces.
Since the IS-7 has a high-power infrared night vision device, it can move forward covertly even in the dark without turning on the car lights. When the men of the 2nd Battalion of the 65th Regiment of the US Army saw the enemy rushing out of the darkness, it was too late to escape.
"Get ready to fight!" Colonel Damore subconsciously shouted this, but after shouting, he found that he could not fight at all. In order to pursue the deserters, he brought only fast armored vehicles and trucks, and no tanks at all.
In fact, even if they brought tanks, it would be useless. Zhou Qingfeng, who was leading the attack, did not even use the main gun to hit the thin-skinned and large-sized armored vehicles in front of him. He only used the 40mm secondary gun.
Zhou Qingfeng, who was originally leaning out, put away his precious night vision device, closed the turret hatch and said to his men: "Fire a flare from the mortar, and then hunt freely."
The advantage of tanks lies in their mobility. The IS-7, which gained speed, ran over the bodies of several Nanbang deserters and crashed directly into the middle of Colonel Damore's convoy, sweeping in like a howling wind.
The continuous firing of the secondary gun is like the sound of war drums stimulating the killing intent. The gunner searches for the target on his separate sight, and uses the muzzle to create a burning flame zone on the enemy's front line until he kills the enemy's line.
.
The three IS-7s were like sharp knives, their sharp edges piercing into Colonel Damore's team, setting the four or five leading vehicles on fire in one encounter.
In the weak counterattack, some US troops wanted to turn around, some wanted to attack, and some did not know what to do at all. They could only desperately describe the current predicament on the radio, and then ask their battalion commanders what the end was.
what to do?
As a heavy tank with generational advantages, the IS-7 has a very good chassis and can maneuver very quickly in harsh terrain. After it enters the front line, it immediately penetrates behind it, drawing the enemy's attention.
This trick is extremely effective for the US military. As long as there are enemies on the side or behind the buttocks, the US soldiers will immediately become extremely uneasy and want to retreat.
Zhou Qingfeng used this trick repeatedly, and the several Pershings that were also following him hid in the dark and fired secretly, using the flares fired by Zhou Qingfeng to silently kill the enemies. In the dark night, the sound of cannons rumbled, and the US troops were beaten.
He could only abandon the car and run away.
In the future, Van Fleet of the US Army would engage in "tank entry into battle", which was to use the armored firepower and speed of tanks to try to break through the volunteer army's defense lines.
Now Zhou Qingfeng is more ruthless than Van Fleet. The IS-7 can run at a high speed of 30 kilometers per hour on rugged mountain roads, and has almost indestructible frontal armor and powerful firepower. Three IS-7s entered the enemy's formation.
He didn't look back at all, and stabbed directly into the heart of the enemy.
Impact, impact, non-stop impact! Zhou Qingfeng who rushed into the enemy was not here to kill or kill many enemies, but to cause trouble. At present, Wulaoli was in chaos, and many American troops who had just stabilized their emotions were suddenly appeared.
IS-7 rushed into chaos.
After a few turns in Wulaoli, Zhou Qingfeng shouted loudly on the radio: "The men of the 179th Regiment are coming up. The fast column will gather immediately and follow me. Our target is not the trash of the Third Division.
What we want to attack is Xingnan Port, the headquarters of the U.S. Tenth Army!"
