The sound of "squeaking" keeps coming from afar. Any veteran with a little experience knows that there is only one thing that can make such a heart-breaking sound on the battlefield, and that is a tank, and the Japanese are used to it Call this thing a chariot.
Yes, they are tanks, and there are a lot of them.
Soon, the creaking sound became louder and louder. When they were more than 500 meters away from the Japanese position, all the tanks suddenly turned on their headlights, and hundreds of white lights illuminated the Japanese position. It must be like day.
¡°Some people may say that if you turn on the headlights in the dark, won¡¯t they become torches in the dark, which can easily attract Japanese artillery fire?
The truth is this, but in fact it is not. The current Japanese army has been bombarded by artillery fire for more than half an hour. Even the 39th Division, no matter how elite it is, will not be able to recover for a while. In addition, the Japanese army has always lacked attention to anti-armor weapons, which has also led to their anti-armor weapons. There are many, so even if they discover the situation ahead, they cannot respond quickly.
Soon, the tank group with their headlights turned on quickly advanced towards the Japanese position at a slow but determined speed. The roar of the tanks alarmed the entire Japanese position. Those on the front line who had not yet recovered from the shelling Under the shouts of the officers, the Japanese troops ran towards the bombed-out positions. Some of them wanted to dig up the floating soil to rescue the heavy weapons buried underneath, while some of the bold ones were looking for ammunition in a panic. , desperately trying to hang explosives and grenades on himself.
In the dark night, the Japanese soldiers opened fire in the face of the incoming lights. However, the sporadic gunshots had no effect on the rumbling waves, but instead attracted counterattacks. I saw more than a dozen tanks stopped in front of me. The turret was slowly rotating. Orange fire flashed past. More than a dozen violent explosions sounded. Several firing machine gun fire points flew with the explosion. Up to the west.
"Quicklyorganize warriors to drive out the Chinese tanks immediately?"
The desperate Japanese commanders had no choice but to resort to their most common and last resort. Hundreds of soldiers carrying explosive bags or hanging grenades screamed and rushed out of their hiding spots to face the steel ahead. The torrent rushed over.
These Japanese soldiers originally planned to use the cover of darkness to get close to the slowly approaching tanks and blow them up. But the effect is not very great, because under the illumination of hundreds of tanks and flares, the sky now is not much worse than during the day. In addition, each tank is followed closely by at least one squad of soldiers, and those Japanese soldiers have not yet waited. As the soldiers approached, they were shot at, and most of the Japanese troops had to fall down under the hail of bullets.
"Boom"
A huge fire shot up into the sky in the dark night. It turned out to be an unlucky T-34 tank. A Japanese soldier hiding in a blind corner pulled the explosive pack on his back and blew up the tracks, causing the entire tank to explode. stopped.
When the smoke from the explosives dissipated, the cover on the top of the tank was opened, and an armored soldier wearing a leather cap specially designed for tankers struggled to climb out. The first thing he did when he climbed out was to shout loudly: "Here comes someone. Is there anyone here? Come quickly and help me lift my brother out of the car!"
In the dark night, more than a dozen soldiers wearing steel helmets came up from behind and ran over quickly. The leader, a soldier holding a submachine gun and whose rank was unclear, supported the tank soldier and asked: "Brother, how are you? Are you okay? ?¡±
The tank soldier said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine. Come over and help me. Help me get out the brothers in the car. They were all knocked unconscious by the Japanese explosives."
"This is simple." The soldier waved his hand: "Brothers, come here and lift the brothers out of the tank quickly. Remember to be gentle and don't bump into them."
"Okay, no problem!" The soldiers behind him climbed onto the tank after hearing the order. A soldier got into the tank and quickly lifted out the three or four armored soldiers in the tank and laid them flat on the ground.
After rescue, the stunned armored soldiers woke up one after another. Only then did the armored soldier who came out first let out a long breath. He walked up to the leading soldier and said, "Brothers. Thank you so much. It was so dark here just now that I didn't notice it for a moment." The Japs in the corner made him pull off the explosive package. Fortunately, the brothers in the car were okay, otherwise I really don¡¯t know how to write a letter to their parents. My name is Chang Xiaochun, from the 1st Armored Division Tank Regiment Lieutenant and platoon commander of the first platoon of the third company of the second battalion, what do you call me brother?"
"You're welcome." The leading soldier also smiled, showing his white teeth: "I am Liu Yi, the commander of the first company of the second battalion of the 597th Regiment of the 400th Division. It was our fault for what happened just now. It was because we did not have cover. Okay. Fortunately, you were only slightly injured, but it doesn¡¯t matter, you¡¯ll be fine after you rest for a while.¡±
The two of them became familiar with each other after a few polite words. Soldiers are both straight-tempered, so they recognized each other and became good brothers. Chang Xiaochun took this opportunity to check the tank and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"His grandma's. Fortunately, there is no serious damage to the tank. Only the track on the left side was damaged by the explosion. It will be repaired in a while! Commander Liu, my brothers have difficulty moving now. Can you ask your brothers to I'll help you, let's repair the tank quickly, and maybe we can catch up with the battle."
"No problem." Liu Yi readily agreed. He waved back and greeted, and more than a dozen soldiers immediately came over to help.
Chang Xiaochun moved a tool box from the car and began to repair the damaged track, while Liu Yi was responsible for handing over the tools.
Chang Xiaochun chatted with Liu Yi while repairing the tank: "Sir Liu, shouldn't your company have one or two hundred people? Why do you only have so few people around you?"
Liu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Don't mention it. It was fine when we set off, but everything fell into chaos as soon as we charged. It was impossible to maintain the formation at all. The dozen or so people around me still remembered to follow me. , otherwise I would be a mere commander now."
"Sir Liu, don't worry about this. After my tank is repaired, everyone will get on the tank and I won't miss you. By the way, hand over the wrench below!" Chang Xiaochun slapped his chest loudly. While he was constantly repairing the tank.
At this time, a soldier next to him handed Chang Xiaochun a wrench and said with envy: "Sir Chang, your armored troops are really good. I heard that you get promoted very quickly here. Platoon leaders like you all have the rank of lieutenant. If you want to be promoted to lieutenant, you must at least be a company lieutenant."
Chang Xiaochun smiled: "What are you envious of? Our training is much harder than yours, why don't you say it? And if you want to be promoted quickly, you have to belong to those guys in the Air Force. A rookie who has just graduated from an aviation school can't do it." If he has the rank of sergeant or even second lieutenant, his promotion is like flying on an airplane. Can this person compare with others?"
While talking, the tracks of the tank were quickly repaired, and the stunned tank crewmen next to them also woke up one after another. After resting for a while, they checked that there was nothing serious, and they quickly climbed into the tank. After the driver fiddled with it for a while, the tank trembled and smoke came out, and the tank was able to move again.
Liu Yi quickly greeted him when he saw this, and more than a dozen soldiers climbed onto the tank after him. Then a thick black smoke came out of the butt of the tank and rushed forward
Just as Liu Yi and the others continued to attack the Japanese positions, in Susong County, located at the junction of Anhui and Hubei, the commander of the 39th Division, Shan Xie Zhenglong, was already disturbed by the rumbling gunfire and the constant emergency reports coming from the front. It made me miserable.
A major trotted over and reported: "Your Excellency, the division commander, Colonel Fukunaga Yukichi called. His 231st Regiment is now being violently attacked and divided and surrounded by Chinese tanks. There are already two brigades with him. Contact has been lost, and now he is leading the Third Battalion to resist in Futian Town relying on villages. Colonel Yukichi Fukunaga is requesting urgent tactical guidance!"
"Baga, now where do you want me to find reinforcements for him! Immediately order Yuki Fukunaga to contact the two separated brigades immediately. He must defend Futian Town. If he loses the position, you will have him caesarean. Thank the Emperor!"
"Hai!"
Seeing Shan Xie Zhenglong¡¯s furious expression, the staff officer did not dare to say anything and ran out quickly.
Shan Xie Zhengtong was about to sit down after driving away the staff, but he stood up again after thinking about it. He quickly walked to the map and saw a staff officer using a light to use a small red flag to flag down the enemy. Mark the place. Shan Xie Zhenglong took a look and couldn't help but gasped. From the map, the Thirty-ninth Division with Susong County as the center was surrounded by small red flags. These little red flags were like a big, bloody mouth that was biting towards the 39th Division.
Looking at the map in front of him, Shan Xie Masataka murmured: "The Chinese attack is too fierce. If the reinforcements cannot arrive on time, the entire army will be in danger of collapse."
After saying that, Shanxie Masataka immediately shouted loudly: "Sakai-kun, come here!"
"Hai!" Soon a short and fat colonel strode over. This person was Sakai Miyaque, the chief of staff of the 39th Division.
Shan Xie Masataka stared at the Sakai Palace and asked: "Sakai-kun, where is the 15th Division now?"
Sakai Palace replied respectfully: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, since the 15th Division is on the march, we are unable to get in touch with them now, but when the 15th Division last contacted us two hours ago, they had already arrived. Jiang County, expected tomorrow??You can get here by noon. "
"Yo Xi, very good!" Shan Xie Zhengtong nodded with satisfaction: "As long as we can support until the arrival of the 15th Division, then not only can we persevere, but we may also be able to inflict heavy damage on the Chinese people on the opposite side!"
