"Yes." Mei Jiuling nodded and said, "To be precise, four!"
"Four?!" He Shuya said in surprise, "Jiu Ling, you mean to say that four of the six captured tanks can be repaired?"
Mei Jiuling nodded and said: "One of them has been repaired, and the other three can be repaired with a little time. At least it will not delay tonight's battle. As for the remaining two tanks, I'm afraid I have to find spare parts from the Japs.
Otherwise, if it can’t be repaired, I don’t know if four tanks are enough?”
"Four cars are enough, or even one!" He Shuya slammed the knot.
"Is one car enough?!" Mei Jiuling was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean Shuya?"
However, He Shuya had already sketched out a perfect plan in his mind in a very short period of time, and then said to Mei Jiuling with a smile: "Jiuling, if you are lucky enough, maybe tonight, your tank will
The company is about to become a real tank company!"
"A tank company in the real sense?" Mei Jiuling's eyes lit up.
Huang Shouxin next to him suddenly thought about what He Shuya wanted to do.
The battalion commanders Yang Banan, Ding Li, Lei Peng and Mo Zhengqiang obviously couldn't keep up with the thinking rhythm of He Shuya and the others. This made Yang Banan and the other three officer cadets who graduated from the Central Military Academy especially
I feel a little discouraged. Is the gap between the Central Military Academy and the youth training camp really that big?
(Dividing line)
At the same time, in the Japanese military camp in the southern suburbs of Pucheng.
Taro Koga, commander of the 170th Infantry Regiment, sent someone to invite Saburo Sato, commander of the 5th Tank Squadron, to his command tent.
"Your Majesty Osaka, are you looking for me?" When he saw Taro Koga, Saburo Sato just paused slightly.
Although Saburo Sato's military rank is only major, he is a major of the tank corps, which belongs to two different systems from the pure infantry, so he has arrogance in his bones, and even, if it were not for the captain of the 8th Tank Regiment
Yamamoto Koshiji repeatedly warned him, but Sato Saburo didn't bother to pay attention to Koga Taro.
Taro Koga did not dare to make excuses and said with a smile: "Sato-san, I have something to discuss with you."
"Your Majesty Osaka, you are too polite. Just give the order." Saburo Sato said firmly, "Our Fifth Tank Squadron will definitely carry out your order faithfully."
"Sato-san, you are too modest. Let's discuss anything we have to do." Taro Koga said with a smile, "That's right, although the fortifications have been reinforced, not only the trenches are dug deeper and wider, but the inner edge of the trenches are also
The barbed wire fence has been pulled up, but I'm still a little worried, after all, the Wolf Fang troops can be said to be pervasive."
Sato Saburo said: "What does Osaka-dono mean?"
Taro Koga said: "I mean, your fifth tank squadron, can you send four Type 95 light tanks to be parked around the military camp to serve as fixed sentries? Because Langya's marksmanship is so accurate that it is unbelievable.
, if there is lack of adequate protection, it may be difficult for the sentinels keeping watch to avoid the sniper attack of the Wolf Fang."
"Your Excellency Osaka." Saburo Sato frowned immediately and said, "Logically speaking, our Fifth Tank Squadron should not disobey your order. After all, Mr. Yamamoto has issued an order requiring our Fifth Tank Squadron to resolutely
I obey your orders, Colonel, but I need to declare to you that the only mission of our tank troops is to charge into battle, not to stand guard or guard, so..."
Although Saburo Sato's tone was very tactful, the implication was that he refused to execute it.
Taro Koga's face immediately darkened. He did not expect Saburo Sato to be so disrespectful, and immediately said: "Sato-san, do you really not think about it anymore? If your fifth tank squadron is willing to help, I think
, our entire 170th Infantry Regiment, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, will be grateful."
Saburo Sato's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment.
Just when Saburo Sato was hesitating whether to agree to Taro Koga's offer, the faint roar of a tank engine suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Is this...the roar of a tank engine?" Taro Koga said.
"The roar of the engine comes from outside the military camp. It is definitely not the tank of our fifth squadron!" Sato Saburo said, "Is it the main force of the eighth tank regiment that has returned?"
No wonder Saburo Sato thought so, because he never thought that the Chinese would have tanks.
At that moment, Taro Koga and Saburo Sato hurried out of the command tent, and followed the roar of the tank engine to find the north gate of the military camp.
When Taro Koga and Saburo Sato arrived, the Japanese sentry at the north gate of the military camp had already been alerted.
"What's going on?" Taro Koga looked up at the infantry squadron leader on the lookout post and asked, "Hasegawa-san, what was the roar of the tank engine just now? Is the 8th Tank Regiment back?
"
"Your Majesty Colonel, this should not be the Eighth Tank Regiment." Infantry Squadron Nagatani replied, "Because there is only one tank coming over, and the situation is very suspicious."
"Nani? Only one tank?" Taro Koga was stunned when he heard this.
Then Taro Koga quickly stepped on the oil drum and climbed to the observation post built on a high place. Then he raised his binoculars and looked forward. Sure enough, he saw a tank slowly driving towards here along the road.
With the help of the reflection of the tank lights on the ground, you can vaguely see that it should be a Japanese-style Type 95 light tank, but what makes people confused is that there is only such a lonely one on the road.
There were no tanks, no other vehicles, and not even a single infantryman accompanying them.
Saburo Sato also climbed up to the lookout post. After seeing this situation, he said: "Your Majesty Colonel, the situation of this tank is a bit strange."
"Weird? What do you mean?" Taro Koga asked.
Saburo Sato did not answer, but ordered his adjutant to climb to the edge of the trench, turn on the flashlight, and shine a set of light signals towards the slowly approaching tanks on the opposite side.
Taro Koga understood that if the enemy coming from the opposite side was an Imperial Army tank and saw the light signal coming from this side, it would definitely respond. If the other side did not respond, it meant that the tank in front of it was very likely.
It is a tank captured by the Chinese. Although this possibility is very small, it is not absolutely impossible.
Taro Koga and Saburo Sato fully expected that the tank on the opposite side would respond.
However, what made the two people extremely disappointed was that the tank on the opposite side never responded. It seemed that it had not noticed the light signal here and continued to drive over slowly but without stopping.
Saburo Sato did not give up yet and ordered his adjutant to send out the light signal again.
This time the tank on the opposite side finally responded, but its response was to fire directly!
A dazzling red light suddenly bloomed on the turret of the tank ahead. Immediately afterwards, the position where the adjutant Saburo Sato was was directly hit by a shell. In an instant, a huge cloud of smoke and dust rose up. The adjutant Saburo Sato even
Before he could even let out a scream, he was beaten into pieces.
Immediately afterwards, the front machine gun of the tank in front opened fire violently.
The hot bullets poured down like raindrops in an instant, causing smoke and dust to scatter on the circular barricades on both sides of the north gate of the military camp. The lookout posts where Taro Koga and Saburo Sato were standing were also affected, and they were almost hit by bullets.
"Bagagaru." Taro Koga hurriedly got off the lookout post under the protection of the guards, then raised his head and shouted at the infantry squadron leader Hasegawa: "Hasegawa-san, send troops to attack immediately and blow up this car for me.
Damn tank, blow up this damn tank!"
"Hai!" Hasegawa nodded heavily and immediately ordered an infantry group to attack.
The next moment, the Juma that was originally blocking the north entrance of the military camp was moved away, and then a dozen Japanese soldiers holding bayonets quietly left the military camp under the cover of night, and then quickly spread out in a fan shape.
He quickly approached the tank about a hundred meters ahead.
Seeing this scene, Taro Koga's lips immediately evoked a sneer.
Although these stupid Chinese were lucky enough to capture an Imperial Army tank from the battlefield, they did not understand the essence of tank use. They were stupid enough to send a single tank to attack in the dark. They had no idea that without infantry,
Protection, the tank is just an iron coffin!
Facing the infantry's close-in blasting, a tank without infantry protection is simply vulnerable!
Taro Koga could even foresee what would happen when the tank in front was detonated by the explosive package.
However, Taro Koga's dream was soon shattered by the cruel reality. Just when the attacking infantry team was about to approach the tank, four dazzling lights suddenly bloomed in the darkness behind the tank.
The four dazzling tongues of flames intertwined into a dense fire net and enveloped the surrounding Japanese. The dozen or so Japanese were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another.
"Baga!" Taro Koga was shocked and angry, "These cunning Chinese! There is an ambush?!"
Saburo Sato smiled ferociously and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Colonel. No matter how cunning the Chinese are, they are nothing more than a tank. I will lead the fifth squadron of tanks to attack. I will definitely destroy this Type 95 tank of the Chinese."
!”
"Yoshi, I'll leave it to you, Sato-san." Koga Taro nodded and said, "I will send an infantry squadron to follow you to attack." After a pause, Koga Taro continued, "However, Sato-san, please don't be too cautious.
If we pursue them too deeply, if the Chinese retreat into Pu County, stop pursuing them."
"Hai." Saburo Sato paused and said, "Don't worry, Colonel, I will not be stupid enough to fall into the city and fight the Chinese in street battles. Compared with street battles, field battles can better bring out the powerful assault power of our tank troops."
"Yoshi." Koga Taro nodded happily, "Then I will wait here for Sato-san's good news."
"Hai." Saburo Sato paused again, then turned around and shouted to the messenger behind him, "Order, the fifth tank squadron must assemble urgently!"
