Chapter 1040: Chariot Regiment, Death!
"Hit me so hard that the devil won't be able to let go of even a hair!"
At the entrance of Yangjia Village, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the New 1st Cavalry Regiment spoke sternly and personally fired an M2 heavy machine gun at the Japanese who were rushing up.
The highway leading to Tianjin passed by Yang Village. At this time, the people in Yang Village had been relocated.
The cavalry troops of the new regiment built a large number of positions here to intercept the Japanese who were preparing to escape.
However, due to terrain restrictions, only one camp can be placed in front.
Although they are cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion in dismounted and infantry combat is also very powerful.
Other cavalry battalions and tanks were in reserve not far away, ready to launch a counterattack at any time.
In this combat mission, the cavalry also brought some M2 heavy machine guns.
A dense rain of bullets poured towards the Japs, and each Japs was cut off at the waist, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Not far away, in a hidden position, several Eighth Route Army tanks opened fire suddenly.
Tank guns and coaxial machine gun fireworks kept blooming, and artillery shells and dense machine gun shells poured towards the Japanese.
Although it was night time and the night sky was pitch black, there was a steady stream of illumination bombs in the sky. The illumination bombs produced by the system launched by 82mm mortars illuminated an area with a radius of one kilometer as if it were daytime.
The large road lights of several tanks also provide ample visibility for the infantry.
A dense rain of bullets was thrown towards the Japs who had formed the 11th Brigade.
The Japanese who rushed up fell down one after another like mowing grass.
However, the attacking Japanese soldiers continued to advance forward, and under the cover of mortars, grenade launchers and several mountain cannons, they launched a pig-like charge.
suddenly.
As if receiving some order, the Japanese retreated like a tide.
"What's going on, you damn devil?"
"Aren't we going to fight now?"
The cavalry battalion commander reloaded the ammunition quickly, still feeling a little unfinished.
He was somewhat fond of the Japanese's pig attack tactics.
The Japanese's pig-attack tactics have a great advantage, that is, they are good at bringing military exploits to their enemies.
Don’t let the military exploits that fall from the sky go to waste.
"Ammunition hand, replenish ammunition quickly!"
As the platoon commanders of each company shouted, the soldiers of the logistics company quickly ran towards the position carrying ammunition boxes.
At this moment, hundreds of bright lights suddenly appeared in the wilderness directly in front of the position.
These bright lights shone one after another, making some soldiers in the forward position almost unable to open their eyes.
"It's a Japanese tank!"
"You retreat first!"
The voice of the commander of the 5th company of the heavy tank battalion came through the walkie-talkie channel.
As soon as he finished speaking, a Japanese 47mm tank shell landed on the Eighth Route Army position. A machine gun position and several machine gunners were instantly overturned, and the soldier fell in a pool of blood.
"What a stupid little devil..."
"Let's retreat first!"
The cavalry battalion commander loudly issued an order and quickly retreated with the sound of M2 heavy machine gun. The guards and deputy shooters quickly followed with their gun mounts.
"Boom boom boom——"
The Japanese tank shells landed densely on the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions.
Although the Japanese tank guns have relatively small calibers, only 37 mm and 47 mm, their advantage is their fast rate of fire.
Although the cavalry battalion of the new regiment is equipped with some M2 heavy machine guns, and bazooka rocket launchers have been popularized in the squad.
These two weapons are very effective against the Japs' Doudin tanks.
However, these equipments can only exert their power when the Japanese's Bean Tank approaches.
The Japanese tanks fired their artillery, large-caliber heavy machine guns and bazookas from a kilometer away. There was nothing they could do against the Japanese tanks.
However, the new group of soldiers on the position retreated in time and suffered less casualties.
"Tum, tom, tom——"
From a hidden position, four tanks from the 5th Tank Company of the New Regiment's Heavy Tank Battalion opened fire in return.
At the rear, nine other tanks from the 5th Tank Company quickly came up to make up for it.
However, due to poor visibility, only one Japanese 95 tank was exploded. With a bang, a ball of fire burst out, and the Japanese tank was killed.
After more than 50 Japanese tanks shelled the Eighth Route Army's position.
"Kill to—"
On a Type 97 tank, Captain Akita Gin, commander of the tank regiment, waved his sword.
The tanks of the Japanese tank regiment were not equipped with walkie-talkies. Only the tanks of the regiment leader and squadron leader were equipped with radios.
Therefore, communication between Japanese tanks can only rely on roaring.
And tacit cooperation.
Seeing the tanks of the company commander and each squadron leader moving, the Japanese tank driver nearby knew that it was time to charge.
As a result, the Japanese tank crew drivers drove their tanks towards the Eighth Route Army's position.
At the same time, behind the Japanese tanks, about fifty Type 94 trucks did not turn on their headlights, but followed behind the Japanese tanks quietly.
Each Type 94 truck is equipped with several oil drums, which are filled with fuel.
Colonel Akita Gin, who had fought against the Eighth Route Army tank unit, knew very well that his tank regiment was on the absolutely weak side.
Even if the Eighth Route Army's tanks were parked there and doing nothing, one of his tank regiments of 54 Doudin tanks would be hard-pressed to break through the Eighth Route Army's tank defenses.
so.
To deal with the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, Akita Ginichi never put his hope in these more than 50 tanks.
Instead, prepare to use trucks full of gasoline to kill the tanks of the Eighth Route Army!
Each Japanese driver's body was strapped with detonators and explosives in preparation for a suicide bombing attack.
At the beginning, Akita Ginichi planned to place more than fifty trucks in front of the tank.
But when he went to the battlefield, he saw that this tactic would not work at all.
The Eighth Route Army's flares seemed endless. Once a truck was placed in front of a tank, the truck would become a target for the Eighth Route Army's tanks.
In order to destroy the Eighth Route Army tanks, Akita Ginichi used the tanks as targets for the Eighth Route Army and covered the trucks approaching the Eighth Route Army tanks.
"The Japanese tanks have begun to charge, at least 50 tanks!"

The heavy tank battalion of the new regiment has about 200 tanks, each tank company has 15 tanks, and each tank company is equipped with 10 Leopards and 5 Joffres.
The heavily equipped synthetic battalion is equipped with 24 tanks. For this battle, Li Yunlong prepared more than 300 tanks.
Moreover, there is a large number of new tank soldiers in Taiyuan who are training to drive 150 tanks.
Those 150 tanks were for the purpose of killing the Japanese troops 731, and the other 150 tanks had been handed over to the headquarters.
"Our 3rd company is on the way here. With such a good opportunity to make a contribution, why is our 3rd tank company missing?"
On the call channel, the laughter of the 3rd tank company commander rang out.
There was no hint of nervousness in the voice of the 3rd company commander, and he was even a little impatient, as if he was leading the 3rd company not to fight, but to celebrate the Japanese's birthday.
"Flare!"
The 5th company commander grabbed the walkie-talkie and said loudly:
"double!"
