Not long after Xu Rui and the others drove the tank out of Xiaoli Village, they began to break down one after another. It was not that the tank had any malfunction, but that it ran out of fuel.
Watching the tanks stop one after another, Mei Jiuling was immediately stunned.
"What happened? Why did you stop?" Mei Jiuling hurriedly chased after him. Just as Xu Rui opened the turret roof and got out, Mei Jiuling immediately shouted, "Captain, why don't you open?"
He Dacong followed up and asked excitedly: "Captain, do you want me to drive?"
Tie Chong also followed and said with the same hope: "This 97th style will definitely be more enjoyable to perform than the 95th style."
"Go ahead, drive whatever you want." Mei Jiuling kicked Tie Chong aside, then raised his head and said to Xu Rui, "Commander, it's almost dawn, we have to drive the tank to the front and hide in the woods.
You have to get up, otherwise you will be in big trouble when the Japanese bombers arrive."
"Why are you still firing? Let's fire." Xu Rui climbed up the turret and jumped out of the tank again. He said out of breath, "We're out of gas!"
While talking, more tanks stopped one after another because they ran out of fuel. Only a dozen tanks were still running, and most of the other tanks had stopped.
Xu Rui then asked Lang Ya, who was driving the truck, to drive over a dozen trucks.
Mei Jiuling also woke up from a dream. There should be spare fuel in the Japanese truck. The distance from Meixian to Xiaoli Village was only more than ten miles but less than twenty miles, and the fuel was exhausted after driving such a short distance.
, how can the Japanese tank regiment break through? So there will definitely be spare fuel.
More than a dozen trucks drove over one after another.
Mei Jiuling, He Dacong, Tiechong and the tank soldiers from the tank company rushed forward and scrambled to lift the tarpaulin covering the truck, but most of the truck compartments were empty.
"Batalion Commander, this car is empty."
"Batalion Commander, this car is out of gas."
"Battal Commander, there is none of this."
"Battal Commander, I don't have one here either."
"Battal Commander, there's oil here, fuck, and there's a Jaap too!"
It wasn't until the last truck that we finally found spare fuel.
However, it was not all good news. Although more than a dozen barrels of spare fuel were found in the last truck, a Japanese soldier was also found hiding inside.
It's quite a coincidence.
This Japs was a maintenance soldier of the 8th Chariot Regiment Maintenance Team. He was fainted by the poisonous smoke just now and passed out in the carriage. In the end, he accidentally escaped the Wolf Fang Team because of this.
Hunting, even Xu Rui's six senses were lucky enough to escape, and then, by coincidence, he woke up at this time.
Seeing the two Chinese soldiers lifting the tarp and climbing into the car, the Japanese soldier instinctively reached out to touch his gun, but he missed it. When he was stunned by the poisonous smoke, he dropped the gun in his hand.
He didn't know where he had thrown it. He didn't have a gun, so the Japanese soldier quickly took out another grenade and held it in his hand.
"Put your hands up!"
"Hand in the gun and don't kill!"
"Hands up or I'll shoot!"
The two engineers who were inspecting the car immediately yelled and pointed their guns at the Japanese hiding in the car.
"Fuck, don't shoot, don't shoot, there's gas in the car!" Mei Jiuling was startled and rushed towards the truck, but Xu Rui's reaction was faster than him, Mei Jiuling
As soon as Ling took a step forward, Xu Rui had already blown past Mei Jiuling with a gust of wind, and was behind the truck in the blink of an eye.
However, no matter how fast Xu Rui moved, it was too late.
The Japanese soldier was pointed at a gun by two engineers. He lost control of his emotions in an instant. He took the grenade and knocked it against the oil drum standing next to him without hesitation. Xu Rui rushed over and saw the grenade hitting the wall of the oil drum.
At the same time, I heard a soft sound in my ears. I didn't think much at the moment, so I grabbed the two engineers, turned them over, and fell back.
He only had time to throw the two engineers to the ground before the grenade exploded.
After landing, Xu Rui immediately crawled out like a four-legged snake, using both hands and feet, and crawled very fast. While crawling forward, he loudly reminded the two engineers to crawl out quickly. The two engineers woke up as if from a dream, and quickly
I followed the climb, but only climbed forward less than ten meters when more than a dozen barrels of gasoline in the truck compartment exploded with a loud bang.
In an instant, more than a dozen jets of flames shot out from the truck compartment, shooting dozens of meters away. Fortunately, Xu Rui and the two engineers were crawling close to the ground, otherwise they would have been hit by the flames.
, if this is the case, he will be burned into a flaming man in an instant, and even Xu Rui will definitely die.
Even so, Xu Rui and the two engineers also had a few sparks splashed on them.
After crawling to a safe distance, Xu Rui and the two engineers dared to get up. Mei Jiuling, He Dacong and the others rushed forward and put out the flames on Xu Rui and the two engineers with all their skills.
When Xu Rui looked back, he saw that the entire truck had already turned into a ball of fire.
Not only that, two nearby trucks were also affected and started to catch fire.
It's not a big deal that three trucks were burned down. The key thing is that a dozen barrels of spare fuel were gone.
Mei Jiuling's handsome face immediately turned into a bitter melon. She turned around and said to Xu Rui: "Captain, what should we do now?"
Xu Rui opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm with soot, and said angrily: "What else can I do, I can only lift it!"
"What, carry it?" Mei Jiuling was immediately stunned. Please, this is not a truck of one or two tons, but a medium tank of more than ten tons. How to lift it? Can it be lifted?
"If you can't lift it, push it." Xu Rui said, "The fuel is gone anyway, and it's too late to send fuel from home. Besides lifting or pushing, what else can you do?"
Mei Jiuling shook his head, there really was no better way.
"Then hurry up." Xu Rui said, "Gather people and push it away!"
"Yes!" Mei Jiuling agreed, turned around and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"
At that moment, Mei Jiuling and more than two hundred people from the engineering battalion rushed forward. A dozen or twenty people were responsible for one vehicle and began to push the tank hard. Amidst the roaring of the engineering battalion's tsunami-like chants, the original
Dozens of tanks that were anchored on the road began to move forward one after another. Although it was very slow, they finally moved forward little by little.
Not long after pushing, Pan Baishun also arrived with the Pu County militia brigade, and quickly joined the push. The addition of more than a thousand militiamen greatly accelerated the movement of more than 30 tanks, and finally took the lead in the morning.
Before seven o'clock, all forty-two tanks were safely moved to the nearby woods.
Not a moment after the tank was moved into the forest, the roar of aircraft engines rang in the sky, and dozens of large bombers pierced through the clouds in the southeast. It turned out to be a Type 96 long-range bomber.
The bombers, obviously, the Japs were also determined to blow up the tanks of the 8th Tank Regiment.
Unfortunately, the tanks of the 8th Tank Regiment have already been safely relocated.
The more than 30 incoming long-range bombers could not find their targets and hovered over Xiaolizhuang for more than half an hour before finally flying back to Nanjing Ziyuan Airport in despair.
As soon as the Japanese bombers flew away, Mei Jiuling and others could not help but cheer again.
Xu Rui was also very excited. This counter-sweep operation was finally not in vain.
With these more than 40 tanks, plus the 17 tanks originally captured, the Dameishan Military Division can form the first real armored regiment.
Xu Rui smiled slightly and said, "Mei Jiuling."
Mei Jiu seemed to realize something, and quickly stepped forward, straightened her chest and responded: "Here we are!"
Xu Rui coughed slightly and said: "In the name of the commander of Dameishan Military Division, I now officially appoint you as the commander of the first armored regiment of the military division. Your first task is to complete the task in the shortest possible time.
Inside, set up the frame of the armored regiment for me and form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time!"
"Yes!" Mei Jiuling responded loudly, "I promise to complete the mission!"
After saying that, Mei Jiuling stood at attention again and saluted Xu Rui with a standard military salute.
However, after the salute, Mei Jiuling's smiling face immediately reached her ears. First she muttered that I am now the leader, and then turned to He Dacong and Tiechong and said: "You two
Why are you still standing there? Why don't you salute quickly when you see the leader? Salute quickly."
He Dacong and Tiechong were also good at joining in the fun. They stood up at attention and saluted: "Captain!"
"Take a break." Mei Jiuling returned the military salute, then patted He Dacong on the shoulder and said slowly, "Um, Comrade He Dacong, the commander of our regiment has now officially appointed you as the first battalion of the 1st Armored Regiment of the Dameishan Military Division.
Battalion Commander, who else, Comrade Tiechong, appoints you as the battalion commander of the second battalion of the first armored regiment."
"Yes!" He Dacong and Tie Chong responded loudly at the same time, but the volume was much louder than before.
Seeing that He Dacong became the battalion commander and the deputy company commander Tiechong also became the battalion commander, Chen Zuo, the commander of the motorized infantry company, came up to him with a smile and said with a flattering smile: "Captain, what's that?"
Mei Jiuling smiled slightly and said, "There is also Comrade Chen Zuo."
"Arrived!" Chen Zuo immediately stood at attention and responded with a bang.
Mei Jiuling quickly turned her head, but was still too slow and was sprayed with saliva by Chen Zuo.
"Comrade Chen Zuo, please turn your face to me when the time comes!" Mei Jiuling snorted, and then said, "The commander of our regiment now officially appoints you as the Motorized Infantry Battalion of the 1st Armored Regiment of the Dameishan Military Division.
long."
"Yes!" Chen Zuo stood up and responded loudly, spitting on Mei Jiuling's face again.
Mei Jiuling wiped his face and appointed Zhang Wei, leader of the mechanical maintenance platoon, as the company commander of the mechanical maintenance company directly under the First Armored Regiment of the Dameishan Military Division. After the appointment, Mei Jiuling ran to Xu Rui again.
In front of me, the report said: "Reporting to the regimental commander, the frame of the First Armored Regiment of the Dameishan Military Division has been set up and its combat effectiveness has been formed. You can issue combat missions now."
"Small, the speed is quite fast." Xu Rui said, "Can we issue combat missions now?"
Mei Jiuling said proudly: "In short, I will never let the leader down!"
