"Thank God the damn radio is finally working!" came the surprised voice of the 2nd Company Commander. The communication had been blocked before, which made him very excited after finally finding the 1st Company.
Liu Guozhu also breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the intercom and said: "My tank is not a command vehicle. The No. 5 tank can't be found. Repeat, the No. 5 tank can't be found."
"You don't care about your comrades in Car No. 2?" In the headset, the commander of Car No. 2 said bitterly: "There are at least 100 prisoners of the Qi Army in front of me...it's all dark."
"Do you want me to give you some advice? Car No. 2?" Liu Guozhu grinned.
"What suggestions?" The captain of car No. 2 immediately became curious.
Liu Guozhu pressed the intercom on his throat and replied with a smile: "I suggest you ask them to throw away their weapons!"
"It's a good idea, why didn't I think of it?" The captain of car No. 2 was very angry: "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you and dares to open the hatch and go out?"
"Hahaha!" The sudden silence on the battlefield made Liu Guozhu relax and smile unbridled.
"Stand where you are! We're on your flank! I've even seen your tanks!" the commander of the 2nd company shouted excitedly on the channel.
"I saw some Qi officers wearing different military uniforms here! It may be their headquarters!" Liu Guozhu reported the report while looking at the tents, maps, tables and chairs scattered around through the gaps in the observation window.
"You're so lucky!" The 2nd company commander cursed jealously, and then Liu Guozhu saw a No. 4 tank knocking over a wooden carriage and appearing to the north of his tank.
At this time, the Qi army had completely collapsed, and not many people were fighting back. Only the faint sound of gunfire could be heard, and the harsh roar of Stuka dive bombers in the distance could be heard.
"What the battalion commander means is that since the opponent's artillery position has been paralyzed, it is the best choice for us to retreat now." The tanks of the 2nd company came closer, and the radio communication became clearer.
Accompanied by the interference sound of the current, Liu Guozhu agreed and said: "It is indeed a good idea to leave here. If the people of Qi know that we only have so few troops, they will definitely rush back."
"Without infantry cover, we cannot fight here for a long time." The 2nd company commander continued: "The machine gun bullets have been used up, and one-third of the artillery shells have been consumed."
"You're right." Liu Guozhu was not a reckless man. He also knew that his tank machine gun had few bullets left.
The machine gun on the No. 4 tank is not the MG-42, but the predecessor of the MG-42, the MG-34T machine gun with a round barrel sheath. The production process of this machine gun is more complicated than the MG-42, and the advantage is that it can be installed on the tank.
Inside.
There are no heat dissipation holes in the barrel of this machine gun. A thicker barrel will dissipate heat slightly better, which can ensure that the machine gun can fire continuously for a longer period of time. Anyway, there is no need to consider so much weight when mounted on a vehicle.
The machine gun in the tank cannot use ammunition chains, so the MG-34T machine gun uses drum magazines to feed ammunition. The machine gun in the entire tank is ready to fire. With the MG-34T machine gun's rate of fire, it is actually easy to shoot them all.
In order to continue fighting, armored soldiers always carry more ammunition. Originally, the No. 4 tank was designed to carry 3,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition. Everyone will try their best to stuff more bullets, and sometimes it can carry more than 4,000 rounds.
Despite this, Liu Guozhu and his companions brought about 3,500 rounds of ammunition, but now they only have less than 500 rounds left.
If the fight continues at this state, it is estimated that if the Qi army counterattacks, they will withdraw from the battle because they run out of ammunition.
With the cover of the surrounding tanks, Liu Guozhu was finally able to open his hatch cover and climb out of the tank to find his victory.
Although those senior officials of the Qi State wearing gorgeous military uniforms were definitely dead, their bodies were definitely useful.
Soon, Liu Guozhu led the 2nd company commander to his trophy, which was next to a collapsed white tent and was very easy to identify.
However, after seeing the corpse on the ground, the 2nd company commander was a little uncomfortable. The broken brains on the ground and the bloody rotten flesh were really visually impactful and made people feel uncomfortable.
Comfortable.
"You're really good..." The 2nd Company Commander, who covered his mouth with his hand and could still smell the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, gave his comments with a pale face.
He doesn't mind if you let him kill in the tank, but facing so much minced meat will still make him uncomfortable.
"If it doesn't work, just throw it here." Liu Guozhu also felt that handling these corpses was a bit disgusting, so he was open-minded and prepared to give up this meritorious service.
"Are you stupid? Put all these corpses in the car, one in each car! Go back to find the prisoners to identify and take pictures..." The 2nd Company Commander glanced at Liu Guozhu and came up with an idea: "Hurry up and set off in 5 minutes."
"My vehicle can't fit in it... How many can you take?" Liu Guozhu looked at the 2nd Company Commander, somewhat reluctant to put these corpses on his tank... because they were disgusting.
"Okay! Whatever we take away will belong to our company." The 2nd company commander grinned and prepared to take advantage.
"That's no problem." Liu Guozhu felt that he was a good person.
So a few minutes later, the armored soldiers of the Tang State resisted the urge to vomit, loaded a bunch of corpses with broken heads and rotten chests onto their tanks, and then exited along the original route before the Qi army's counterattack arrived.
battlefield.
A surprise battle ended, and the chaos of Qi's 3rd Army continued. One division was locked in a bitter battle in front, most of one division had collapsed, and the other division was still encamped without knowing what was going on.
The following Qi troops were still converging on Luozhen, but the sound of Qi army artillery that filled the sky before disappeared strangely.
…
Communication is backward and cannot be extended to all troops. Sometimes it is beneficial. At least most of Qi's troops still don't know that their general headquarters has been taken away.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They are still performing their duties and faithfully executing the last order they received. For example, continue to move forward, such as continue to attack.
However, as more and more collapsed troops passed detailed information to more troops, the Qi army still experienced chaos and wavering.
"What do you mean by the words of defeated soldiers? A few deserters who don't know where they come from say random nonsense, how can I believe it?" A Qi officer threw his hat on the engine compartment of the car and asked angrily.
road.
"Captain, we came all the way, and we didn't have any supplies along the way, and we didn't receive any new orders, so we just rushed to Luo Town..." The subordinate looked at the embarrassment of the people who came to deliver the news.
Bing, looked at his regimental commander again, and spoke to persuade.
"What on earth do you want to say?" The leader also had a fiery temper. He stared at his subordinates and interrupted his nonsense.
"Commander...the signal troops sent out have not returned yet. I think it is necessary to confirm that the 3rd Army is over there..." the officer suggested cautiously, fearing that he would anger his superiors.
After a few seconds of silence, the commander of the Qi Army, who seemed to have a bad temper, was helpless and explained: "What can I do? I sent two signal soldiers out, but none of them came back. What can I do? Make changes without authorization.
Order? Do I still want to live?"
Sometimes, if you follow the rules, there will be no problems. The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, anything can happen, and the commander is responsible for any decision.
When their regiment set off, the order they received was to rush to Luo Town before tonight. At that time, the Qi army did not know the news that Luo Town was missing.
Then the troops began to move, and communications became less smooth: some of the tens of thousands of troops were still on the ground, and some were already halfway there, and everything became a mess.
Taking their regiment as an example, since they set out on the road, they have basically lost contact with the Western Front General Headquarters. The headquarters cannot find their exact location, and they cannot find the exact location of the headquarters.
There was no way, the third prince was originally responsible for staying back where he was, but he rushed to the front line in a hurry. As a result, the third prince left, leaving a huge mess behind him.
From the time their regiment set off until now, they have actually not contacted the general headquarters. As the regiment leader, he sent out communication troops a total of five times, but never found a higher-level liaison unit.
The division headquarters of the division where this regiment was located could not be found. I went directly to the headquarters of the Third Prince, but could not find it either.
So he could only move towards Luo Town in accordance with the order he received at the beginning, and then met a regiment from another division. They crowded together on the road and covered a distance of less than 7 kilometers in the morning.
It's not that he doesn't want to contact him, it's that he really doesn't know where the hell the commanders are! The communication soldiers he sent out can only ask around, groping for it like a blind man, and then they will be embarrassed in the end regardless of whether they can find it or not.
They discovered that they didn't know where their troops had gone...
He was searching blindly when he went there, but when he came back he couldn't even find them... This was also the reason why he was unwilling to send out signal troops - as many as they sent out would be lost, and what's the use of sending them out?
"Then, Commander, we have to figure out the situation. Are we going all the way to Luo Town?" The officer under his command was a little anxious, and he persuaded anxiously: "It would be better if we can take it back, but we can't take it back...
…”
"Then why don't we just go and recapture it?" The regiment leader glared at him, and then looked at the two defeated soldiers with dissatisfaction: "You said that the Tang Army raided the rear guard of the 3rd Army from the flank and rushed into the artillery position.
Where?"
"...North, about 4 kilometers..." A defeated soldier pointed to the direction in which he fled, and said Momo Lake.
"I don't know, I'm just a loader. Someone asked me to retreat, so I ran away." Another soldier answered truthfully.
