"But we have no experience in dealing with Japanese tanks at all. If we act rashly, we may lose more than we gain!" The political commissar did not want to attack Chen Zhengxiang and directly raised the issue that he was most worried about.
"Leave it to me!" Chen Zhengxiang replied with confidence!
"Remember Wang Ping? The former leader of the independent regiment, he was a capable man. He once talked to me about the Japs' tanks, and also taught me how to fight tanks. Tonight, I will use what he taught me.
Let’s see if the tanks equipped by the Japanese are really as vulnerable as Wang Ping said, just like iron coffins!”
"Other troops don't move, continue to clear out the remaining enemies in Shouyang City, and then clean up the battlefield!"
"The detachment's security battalion and mountain artillery company must assemble immediately and follow me to deal with the Japanese vanguard!"
"Also, the troops have already entered Shouyang City. The heavy machine guns and mortars are definitely of little use. Three heavy machine gun companies and three mortar companies should report to me immediately and let's go together to deal with the little Japanese forwards.
force!"
In order to further provoke the Japanese reinforcements and completely anger them, Chen Zhengxiang cunningly chose the battlefield in the direction where the Japanese reinforcements were coming, at the west gate of Shouyang City, and right outside the west gate.
He wanted the Japanese to watch Shouyang County in front of them, but he couldn't get in.
The cavalry was in the front, the tanks were in the middle, and the infantry in cars were at the end, fighting towards Shouyang City in a mighty manner.
Hearing the faint sounds of gunfire coming from Shouyang City, the first reaction of the Japanese Major who led the team was that the Eighth Route Army had not completely captured Shouyang City.
"Yo Xi, Tubal Road is still fighting in Shouyang City. Keep moving forward. When you reach Shouyang, don't stop and rush directly into Shouyang City. Attack from behind Tubal Road and destroy them!"
The major, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car behind, ordered with a murderous look on his face. It can be seen from the fanatical expression on his face that he is very looking forward to and eager for the next encounter, and he is confident that Tubalu will win the battle between the cavalry and
They are definitely vulnerable in front of tanks, and the final victory must belong to the Imperial Japanese Army.
"Rumble..." The sound of horse hooves, the roar of chariots and cars could be clearly heard by Chen Zhengxiang from a distance.
Soon, the lights of chariots and cars came into view, and more than a hundred Japanese cavalry, holding sabers, rushed towards the city gate in a mighty manner.
"Detachment leader, the devil is coming!"
"Act according to the selected combat plan. When the Japanese cavalry rushes to the city gate, you will shoot. There are twelve heavy machine guns. One heavy machine gun only needs to kill ten Japanese, and their cavalry squadron will be finished!" Chen Zhengxiang was nervous but looking forward to it.
commanded.
Listening to the constant sound of gunfire in the city, and seeing the wide open city gate at the city gate, the Japanese cavalry rushing at the front didn't even think about hesitating, and went straight to the city gate, preparing to give the Eighth Route Army a fatal blow from behind.
.
Two hundred meters away, there was no movement at the city gate!
One hundred meters away, there is still no movement at the city gate!
For the cavalry, it only takes a few seconds to charge a hundred meters. Unless the enemy is equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, there is no way to stop the cavalry attack.
The Eighth Route Army, which was equipped with low-level equipment, could not even carry a rifle, let alone concentrate a large number of light and heavy machine guns to stop itself.
Therefore, facing the city gate that was just around the corner, the Japanese cavalry squadron leader no longer had any worries! He raised his command sword and ordered the troops to launch the final attack.
Fifty meters away, when the leader of the Japanese cavalry squadron had already seen victory and was recruiting him, a row of heads suddenly appeared on the top of the city that had been shrouded in darkness just now, and then twelve tongues of fire came into view.
"Baga, it's a heavy machine gun, a whole squadron of heavy machine guns. We have been fooled, retreat quickly, retreat back!" The squadron leader's face suddenly turned pale, and then he shouted loudly.
"Da da da... ah ah ah..." Before he could finish his words, the sound of gunshots and the screams of the soldiers around him reached the ears of the squadron leader.
Twelve heavy machine guns fired condescendingly at them. The charging subordinates had no place to hide. Several cavalrymen fell to the ground as soon as the bullets flew past.
In the blink of an eye, more than a third of a squadron of cavalry fell.
The remaining cavalry finally reacted and immediately controlled their horses to leave here.
However, they were too close to the city gate, and the heavy machine gun had a long range. No matter which direction they retreated, bullets falling from the sky were always surrounding them.
People were constantly being beaten to death and fell to the ground, or cavalry and horses were beaten into a hornet's nest.
The tank squadron following behind saw the cavalry squadron being massacred. Relying on their rough skin and thick flesh, which could block the incoming heavy machine gun bullets, they immediately turned on full power, trying to rush in front of the cavalry and cover the cavalry's retreat.
At the same time, the vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns and artillery adjusted their muzzles and muzzles one after another, preparing to shoot at the city head and provide fire cover for the cavalry.
However, before they had time to open fire, a series of dull cannon shots suddenly sounded less than three hundred meters to their right.
Ten mountain cannons, nine thunder cannons, and twelve mortars fired simultaneously.
Screaming shells and silent explosive packets rained down on the road.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Soon, an earth-shaking explosion sounded around them.
The light tanks they equipped were indeed thick-skinned and could block bullets fired by almost all weapons on the Chinese battlefield. But in front of the powerful mountain artillery shells, their armor was like paper, not to mention as powerful as heavy artillery.
The explosives are packed.
The ten mountain cannons were aimed at close range, and the ten light tanks of the Japanese chariot squadron were lined up in a row, marching on the road like targets.
The shell exploded, and two tanks were directly hit and exploded on the spot, leaving them spread out on the road.
As for the explosive packets falling from the sky, although there is not much accuracy, the power of the explosive packets is really too great.
Even if there is no direct hit, the powerful shock wave can kill the Japanese in the tank, or at least stun them and make them dizzy.
Therefore, in addition to the two tanks that were directly blown up, there were three tanks that directly hit the roadside and lost movement. On the surface, the tanks were still intact, as if they had not been attacked.
"Well done, keep firing, aim and shoot!" the commander of the mountain artillery company who directed the artillery battle shouted excitedly. Then he rushed to a running position, took aim, loaded and fired!
They were suddenly attacked and lost half of their tanks in an instant.
Fortunately, the command vehicle was not injured. The commander of the tank squadron was left in shock and disbelief at this moment.
After fighting on the Chinese battlefield for such a long time, I have always been on the rampage, and I was promoted from captain to squadron leader based on my military exploits. Unexpectedly, a reinforcement operation that seemed to be without a bad fight would actually cause my tank squadron to encounter a tough problem.
Half the tank squadron was lost in an instant, and not even a shadow of the opponent was seen.
