Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

.    In the sky, planes roared past, and the bullets fired apart from splashing countless gravel and dust, leaving behind only corpses that were gradually losing their lives.  The entire war was in a stalemate, and both sides knew it from the beginning.  They don't have much time for each other.

    "Brothers, cover me! ***, cough cough,, sea, sea, ***. The voice is hoarse. Although it has only been half a day since the beginning of the general attack, everyone's physical strength has been drained. If it weren't for this  This intense atmosphere can't help but drive numb bodies and nerves. I believe that as soon as the gunfire stops, some people will collapse and not even want to move a finger.

    Their tracheas were breathed in too much smoke and dust, and many of them were hoarse and speechless.  And some people just care about loading the bullet and aiming at the target. The next moment, the bullet pierces the center of their forehead, and they lie on the ground silently without saying a word.

    The midday sun in the sky was also blocked by the flames of war. Apart from the heat that could steam people dry, there was only the disgusting smell of death in the air.

    A shell exploded near Lu Qiang's tank, and the huge shock woke up Lu Qiang from a coma.  There were four tank crews in the entire tank, and the driver was lifeless.

    Lu Qiang shook his confused head.  Regardless of the wounds on his body, he quickly lay down and looked in the outside mirror.  The battle was still going on, but his teammates were no longer visible around his tank, but there were waves of infantry advancing towards the target ahead.  The front line of attack has been pushed to the foot of Jinzhou City.

    It seems that the other team members found that they had not moved for a long time and thought that we were all killed.  Lu Qiang shook other comrades awake.  While opening the hatch door and taking a deep breath of the outside air, he jumped off the tank, grabbed a light machine gun from the passing infantry, and shouted at him,

    "Follow me

    "Fat, you drive a tank. Target Jinzhou City, charge."

    Lu Qiang was once a regiment leader. Even though he is beaten to the end now, he is still a leader.  Platoon leader.  The military rank is also a lieutenant.  In addition, as soon as the tanks started moving, infantrymen would automatically approach them, so there was no need for orders at all.  On the battlefield, in this kind of fierce battle where there is no time to think, all the reactions people make are either instinctive or strictly practiced in daily life.  Of course, for those veterans who have been in battle for a long time, the situation is much better.

    Lu Qiang has a hot temper.  The reason why tanks suit his taste is that this big guy is majestic. Once it attacks, it is simply invincible and unstoppable.  However, this attack battle can be said to be the most difficult battle since the formation of the armored division. Not only was it the intensity of the war, but it was also due to the fact that in order to deal with China's tank army, the Japanese army had obviously improved its development and equipment of anti-tank individual weapons.  A huge improvement, higher than the general level in other countries in the world.

    The first injury already made Lu Qiang angry, but repeated teachings and criticisms allowed him to control his temper.  But who knew that Bird's victory would not come to fruition.  He was knocked unconscious by another high-explosive bomb.  The most important thing was that when he woke up, he found that not only the Type IV tanks were rushing in front of him, but also a large number of infantry were rushing in front of his tank.  And tanks attacked the city.  Obviously it doesn't have much advantage.  A large number of Japanese troops swarmed out from the collapse of the city wall and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the National Defense Forces at close range. This immediately eliminated the advantage of the tanks.

    Although the Japanese sword did not pose a threat to the tank, a large number of high-energy weapons were stuffed into the bottom of the tank. Many tank soldiers could only hurriedly get out of the tank and meet the Japanese bayonets with bare hands.  There were also those who had no time to get out of the tank. Needless to say, they were killed in the tank by the violent explosion vibration wave.

    Lu Qiang couldn't stand this kind of battle situation.  I can't even stand the oppression of being trapped in a tank.  While urging the tanks to advance quickly, he held a machine gun and fired fiercely at the Japanese troops swarming out of Jinzhou City.  Lu Qiang's brave actions boosted the morale of the entire neighborhood. After discovering the situation here, many tanks followed suit.  Many infantry light machine gunners jumped on the surrounding tanks and shot mercilessly at the Japanese troops who were trying to fight hand-to-hand.

    At the rear combat headquarters, Cai Feng wanted to give the first echelon a break and let the second echelon take over the siege mission.  But the headquarters never expected that the Japanese army would rush out to engage in hand-to-hand combat at this time.  Someone in the headquarters immediately saw it and shouted, "Commander, they want to trade people for our tanks!"

    Cai Pin also saw this.  Obviously, for the Japanese commander in Jinzhou City, he did not seem to have any intention of holding on to victory.  Instead, Jinzhou City was used to consume the strength of the National Defense Forces, especially the number of tanks.  After all, if soldiers are lost, there will still be a large number of reserves. If the reserves are lost, there will still be a large number of new recruits.  But once the tanks, which the Wehrmacht relies on as a weapon, are lost, the Wehrmacht's offensive will not be so rapid.  The supplement of tanks is far more??There will be soldiers replenishing that quickly.

    If you withdraw the tank at this time.  Then the first wave of offensive will inevitably collapse, and the Japanese army will take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the losses will be staggering.  And even if it can be withdrawn at the minimum cost, the Japanese army may not continue to use this desperate style of attack in the second wave of attacks.  But if tanks are not used to lead the battle, but all infantry are used to attack the city, the losses will definitely be unbearable for the National Defense Forces.

    Cai Feng was very decisive. Not only did he not interrupt the attack, he also put the second echelon that was preparing to replace the first echelon into the war.  As long as the city wall is taken down, for the Japanese army, the first psychological barrier to resistance will be broken.  Street fighting in the city is the specialty of the National Defense Forces. Without the support of the city wall, the National Defense Forces, whose weapons, equipment and morale are superior to the Japanese army, can they still fail to capture Jinzhou City?

    Under Jinzhou City, the Japanese soldiers who rushed out of Jinzhou were like straw, lying in layers, and soon there were piles of corpses even on the top of the city.  The stone color of the company's face and city wall is also completely covered.  Lu Qiang saw that the Japanese army's momentum had slowed down a bit.  Looking back, I saw the main force of the brigade joining the attack again.  The air force bombers struck again.  I saw him throwing away the light machine gun with the already hot barrel in his hand, getting into the tank, closing the hatch tightly, loading more ammunition, and yelling to the driver, "Charge, charge to the city."

    !  Small.

    In fact, the driver's ears had long been unable to hear the sound clearly, but from the platoon leader's expression, the driver quickly understood what was happening. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the Type 4 tank spewed out a puff of black smoke, and the tracks quickly rotated."  The pile of corpses on the ground speeded away while avoiding the deformed obstacle that was bombarded by artillery fire.  Several tanks from the surrounding Lu Qiang platoon saw the movement of the platoon leader's tank.  Regardless of the entanglement of the Japanese troops around him, he quickly changed direction and followed closely.

    In the rear officer¡¯s telescope, a tank suddenly rushed out of the stalemate battle line outside Jinzhou City, followed closely behind by the same three tanks.  A tank had not driven very far when it was accidentally blocked by obstacles outside the city.  The Japanese soldiers on the side threw a bundle of grenades under the tracks of the tank. As a cloud of white smoke rose, the tank suddenly swung out of control, but the tracks were blown off.

    "Cover the tanks! Xiao. I don't know who shouted, and the army's machine gun fire was used to cover the tanks that rushed into the Japanese formation. Especially the snipers who came up as reinforcements from the rear. As long as I saw someone holding explosives,  When the Japanese soldiers approached the tank, they fired accurately, eliminating all hidden dangers

    The tanks that were supposed to be used as infantry cover now needed infantry cover, but no one thought there was anything funny about this.  The Japanese soldiers immediately realized the crisis. If these tanks were allowed to drive through the anti-tank obstacle area composed of rails and conical concrete, then there would be no barriers outside Jinzhou City. Most of the collapsed city walls would not pose any threat to the tanks.  threats.

    Those triangular concrete blocks were greatly damaged during the shelling process, and the limited number of rail villages lacked a certain rationality in layout. In addition, some of the passages had been cleared by the National Defense Forces engineers.  There were also a large number of Japanese corpses serving as stepping stones. Lu Qiang ordered the tank guns to attack the firepower point at the top of the city while directing the tank's advance through the observation mirror.

    Finally, the number is.  That is, Lu Qiang's tank rushed through the anti-tank obstacle area and immediately accelerated towards the city wall.  Almost as soon as he rushed out of the obstacle area, Lu Qiang heard the harsh sound of more than a dozen guns. It was anti-tank bullets hitting the outer armor of the tank.  But in the end, the sound failed to penetrate the armor.  Fortunately, the massive air force bombing and shelling, especially the uninterrupted machine gun fire from air force fighter jets, almost destroyed most of Japan's few anti-tank guns. This prevented Lu Qiang's tanks from receiving concentrated fire from a large number of anti-tank guns.  .

    More and more tanks rushed up, which dispersed Lu Qiang's pressure to a certain extent.  Without hesitation, Lu Qiang ordered the tank to increase its speed to maximum horsepower and drive towards the gap in the city where a large number of Japanese troops were swarming out.  He looked out of the tank through the periscope with almost unblinking eyes, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart, "You have to strive for success, but don't throw cobalt at this time!"

    The Hercules engine did not disappoint Lu Qiang this time. The first batch of high-horsepower diesel engines that had just been developed and produced had too many problems with the matching of the production process and the tank's power system. Failures such as cobalt throwing were commonplace.  You said that if Lu Qiang throws cobalt at this time, wouldn't it be a complete failure?

    The Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the city obviously didn't know that the Wehrmacht tanks were so close.  Lu Qiang could tell from their reactions and expressions that their combat experience and will were obviously not as good as the first batch of Japanese troops who rushed out of Jinzhou City and were fighting with the National Defense Forces.  It seems that not all Japanese troops are elite!

    The tank weighing more than 20 tons was at full power, and the armored monster spewing thick black smoke was like a fierce general wielding a sword, rampaging through thousands of young troops, unstoppable.  suddenlyLu Qiang found that his eyes were blazing red.  Nothing could be seen clearly, but the Japanese army threw a bottle of incendiary bombs, which instantly ignited the surface of the tank.  However, Lu Qiang had no intention of slowing down at all. According to the direction and distance he had just observed.  Feeling the vibrations from the tank, he felt that the tank seemed to be driving up the city wall, until he heard the abnormal sound of the tank engine, and he quickly ordered the brakes.

    To outsiders, Lu Qiang¡¯s tank was hit by at least a dozen Molotov cocktails.  Originally, this type of incendiary bottle was used to deal with soldiers attacking the city. Although it caused a raging fire when it hit the tank, there was no need to worry about the tank with iron armor protection.

    "It's just that the fire covered the tank, and the commander lost the direction of observation. Under the dangerous terrain of Jinzhou City, the entire vehicle could flip down the city if not careful.

    But in the eyes of countless soldiers.  This tank was like a burning fire phoenix. Although its speed had slowed down, it actually drove into the gap in the collapsed city wall with great accuracy and stopped steadily

    Wow!  At this moment, the cheers actually covered up the noise on the battlefield, and the Japanese soldiers seemed to be frightened and retreated behind the city wall. It seemed that no one dared to rush towards this flaming iron guy who was as feared as a poisonous scorpion.

    This kind of daze was only a short moment, and no one wondered why such burning could not cause the tank to explode.  As the combustibles were exhausted, the fire became smaller and smaller, and a large number of infantry arrived at this time.  Those Japanese soldiers who were still engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the National Defense Forces in the obstacle area arrived after the second echelon of fresh troops arrived.  It was quickly destroyed like a wave.

    ¡° Bang, the hatch of the tank was opened again, and Lu Qiang got out of the tank, his body soaked with sweat.  However, he ignored the hot steel plates outside the tank.  Taking the red flag from his companion, he stood on top of the tank and shouted, "Brothers, rush to the enemy!"

    "Charge, charge, charge, little" seemed to be inspired by the iron-blooded military flag in Lu Qiang's hand, and roaring responses came from all directions. At this moment, the trumpet of the general attack resounded through every inch of the battlefield.  Cai Pin sent out all the reserve teams and launched a comprehensive battle for Jinzhou.

    Although he was extremely tired and still had injuries on his shoulders, Lu Qiang was full of smiles and excitement.  He stood firmly on the tank that had been completely misfired and completed. Just when he turned to look into Jinzhou City, a few bullets shot from nowhere hit his chest.

    Lu Qiang felt that several holes had been punched in his body in an instant. There was no pain, but there was a bit of coldness. It seemed that the wind from outside had blown into his body, blowing into his internal organs, heart and lungs.

    Lu Qiang staggered.  Standing firmly on the tank with the military flag in hand, he looked down at the blood flowing out of his body and dyeing his uniform red. The first thought in his mind was, it turns out I still have so much blood to shed.  His eyes were blurring, and he tried hard to look up into Jinzhou City.  From here, we can already see the outline of Jinzhou City. A large number of national defense troops have occupied a corner of Jinzhou and are fighting fiercely with Chengran's Japanese army.

    I can¡¯t fall, I can¡¯t fall!  Lu Qiang's consciousness was a little blurred. He felt his body shaking, but there was a voice in his heart screaming, Lu Qiang, you can't fall, you are a soldier of the National Defense Force.  You are the brave man of the Fourth Army. You always carry the iron-blooded flag of the National Defense Forces. If you die, the flag cannot be removed.  This is our military flag, this is the supreme glory and soul of the entire National Defense Force, and the blood and loyalty of many heroes are condensed on it.

    Lu Qiang wanted to smile but he heard the sound of more bullets passing through his ears, as if there were a few more holes in his body.  Damn it.  Why is this body so invulnerable? It would be great if it could withstand bullets like a tank."

    Lu Qiang had no idea what he was thinking, but his body was always following his remaining subconscious orders, holding the red flag in his hand tightly, hold on, hold on

    Lu Qiang knelt down on the tank, but the military flag in his hand was still straight and flying.

    kill,,!

    kill!

    kill.

    Lu Qiang can no longer hear the sounds on the battlefield. The killing battlefield has nothing to do with him forever. This world of blood and fire, iron and bone.  It will never have anything to do with him.  When the last moment of his life passed away, Lu Qiang opened his eyes and saw that the flagpole of the military flag had been firmly planted on the tank. Lu Qiang smiled, and then his last thought was.

    If there is an afterlife, let me be a tank soldier again!

    The Battle of Jinzhou is over. The 200,000 defenders almost collapsed the moment the National Defense Forces captured the city wall. Especially the North Korean puppet troops in the city almost knelt down and surrendered with their guns raised when they saw the National Defense Forces. There was no need to scold them at all.  Seventy-eight thousand Japanese troops abandoned the city and fled, more than twenty thousand were killed in the battle, more than thirty thousand were seriously injured, and countless others were slightly injured. Seventy-eight thousand Japanese troops were captured, and seventy-eight thousand puppet troops were captured.  Weapons and equipment and military supplies were seizedLimited, because firstly, Jinzhou's reserves of these materials are limited, and secondly, a huge amount of materials were burned and destroyed in the fires caused by bombing and shelling.

    The head of Jinzhou City.  Cai Leng and other senior military generals of the Eastern Route Army stood in front of Lu Qiang's tank, all silent.  At this time, Lu Qiang was still kneeling on the tank, and the military flag held tightly in his hands had been worn out and shapeless in the war.  Lu Qiang died.  But until the end of the war, Lu Qiang and the military flag in his hand still stood.  Hunting sound.

    Lu Qiang was later not only restored to his pre-discipline rank, but was also posthumously awarded the title of Major General of the Army as an exception, and was posthumously awarded the highest medal of honor a soldier can receive, the Medal of Honor of Sacred War!

    Everyone took off their military hats. Although Cai Feng tried to have Lu Qiang's body put down, he found that the soles of Lu Qiang's feet, the skin and muscles of his knees were firmly stuck to the tank.  The fiery imprint of armor on the armor's surface.

    No one spoke. Cai Mu seemed to hear someone crying, but at this time, no one scolded those who cried.  This battle.  It wasn't just Lu Qiang who died in front of them, many of them also lost too many comrades.

    Cai Pin has been joining the National Defense Forces for some time. As early as when he was undergoing medical treatment abroad, he paid great attention to the National Defense Forces in China. When he accepted the appointment of the National Defense Forces, and now that he has been appointed as the head coach, Cai Xin's understanding of the National Defense Forces is limited to strict discipline.  , fighting bravely, well-equipped, and extremely powerful in terms of superficial phenomena.  Even Cai Pin himself didn't believe it. How could such an army change the land of China?

    You must know that although the National Defense Forces are extremely powerful now, could they have been so powerful when they raised troops in the barren land of Sanhe?  But what do they rely on?  This has always been a question that Cai Biao has been unable to answer for a long time.  Just in this moment.  Cai Mu seemed to understand everything and understood what was supporting this army to move forward bravely and fight without hesitation

    Cai¡¯s stunned eyes fell on the tattered military flag, and he sighed in his heart, this is the soul of the army, the soul of an army!  This was the answer that Cai Leng had been searching for and could never get.

    "Salute!" Cai Xun's hoarse voice rang out. As he was the first to stand at attention and salute, thousands of people in the entire scene saluted with him as the center.  The men were motionless, with determined eyes and burning eyes.  They were not only saluting Lu Qiang, they were also saluting the military flag guarded by Lu Qiang, and saluting the souls of countless heroes engraved on the military flag.  But now, Lu Qiang's soul.  Adding a heavy touch to this military flag.

    "Salute! Fire the gun!" Following the deafening roar of Cai Xun's guards, hundreds of soldiers with their gun safety still on raised their guns to the sky and started firing.  Until all the bullets are fired.

    The whole world seemed to suddenly quiet down from the noisy war. The only sounds that echoed in the sky were the sound of wind, the sound of flags and the echoes of guns.

    Lu Qiang¡¯s last remains were photographed by photographers, which shocked newspapers and people all over the world.  This photo was later selected as one of the photos that shocked China in the 20th century.  It has become a required course in middle school textbooks.  The title of the text is, Military Soul!

    Later, it was no surprise that Lu Qiang¡¯s deeds were made into movies and TV series.  It was only a few years later, when Xiao Jiuyuan and the youngest warriors fighting here today were all gray-haired, that Lu Qiang seemed to be forgotten by some people.  In order to modernize the city and develop residential real estate, the CEO of a real estate company ignored the opposition of some people.  Resolutely pushed Lu Qiang and his tank sculpture.  He also openly told the media that this little soldier has not laid down even after his death for decades.  When he was tired, we helped him bury him!

    It¡¯s only half a month later.  The CEO of the real estate company was shot dead. This was earth-shattering news for Jinzhou City, which had extremely good security.  The bigger news is that the murderer stayed at the scene and did not escape.

    He just said to the police and reporters, "He deserved the crime. China's military spirit will never be broken!" and then committed suicide by swallowing a gun.

    These are all foreign words.  When Cai Feng and others fired a gun to see off Lu Qiang.  The First Army, which was ready to go, was already impatient.  Chasing the retreating Japanese troops was a fierce pursuit and beating.  Although the Japanese army seized two important mountain pass strongholds in northern Jinzhou, under the overwhelming bombing and attack of the air force, the First Army on the ground pursued them like a lion chasing a rabbit. All the resistance only slowed down the First Army's pursuit.  sluggish.  Then it was beaten to pieces and completely disintegrated.

    The army was defeated.  On the contrary, the 70,000 to 80,000 troops who escaped from Jinzhou City were not weak, but their morale was completely low.  In addition, what was chasing them was the fully mechanized First Army, which had been resting and on standby. These Japanese and Korean soldiers only wished that their parents had given them less legs. They just ran away, and some even lost their guns.  He only cares about fighting those evil men of the First ArmyThe fierce gods competed in speed.
