The Type 89 tank can only be regarded as a light tank among tanks, but it is still a tank. It cannot be resisted by infantry. So when Ding Xingyuan and Yang Shanzi saw this Japanese tank with its ferocious muzzle, they breathed
It's all a bit rushed.
The tracks rotated slowly, and the Type 89 chariot began to drive down from the hillside at a very fast speed. Behind it, another one appeared on the top of the hillside, followed closely by a third and a fourth.
fifth……
Under the surprised gazes of Ding Xingyuan, Yang Shanzi and even all the soldiers on duty in the Third Company, a total of nine Type 89 tanks filed down the hillside and approached the west gate of Yuguan.
At this time, Jiao Xuefei also heard the news and came over. He was holding a shell gun and shouted coldly, "Where did this little devil's chariot come from?"
"I don't know, company commander!" Everyone didn't know.
Jiao Xuefei shouted, "Shout to them and let them know their purpose."
A soldier who was proficient in Japanese picked up a tin trumpet and started shouting at the tanks, asking them about their purpose.
But the Japanese tanks ignored them at all and continued to roll forward, the snow on the ground rustling under the weight of their heavy tracks.
"Company commander, they don't answer." The soldier shouted three times in succession, but the Japanese chariot ignored him and continued to approach slowly.
Jiao Xuefei's brain was spinning rapidly. He understood that this was an extraordinary moment and every move he made could lead to serious consequences.
The soldiers all clenched their rifles, and the machine gunner also opened the magazine of the machine gun and pointed the muzzle of the Maxim heavy machine gun at the Japanese chariot. As long as Jiao Xuefei said a word, he would be given a try.
But Jiao Xuefei still had a stern look on his face and said nothing.
The chariots finally stopped and were lined up in an open field about 400 meters away from the west city gate. The muzzles were raised and aimed at the city.
Jiao Xuefei looked at the situation, and then said in a deep voice, "I'm going to call the battalion commander. Don't take any unauthorized actions here." After saying that, he turned around and ran into the corner tower.
There is a phone there and you can contact the first battalion commander Ande Xin.
The soldiers watched the Japanese chariots below the city from the city tower, but none of the Japanese chariots below the city made any further moves. The two sides faced each other across the city wall.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Just when everyone thought that the Japanese did not dare to fire, a bright light flashed across the Japanese chariot, and then the shells roared towards the city.
That is to say, in the blink of an eye, all nine tanks fired a cannonball.
The shells roared and landed on the houses in the city. A violent explosion sounded immediately, followed by rolling flames rising into the sky, reflecting the night sky in the city red.
"Son of a bitch!"
Ding Xingyuan pulled the gun bolt and was about to fire, but was stopped by Yang Shanzi, "Old Ding, the company commander said we are not allowed to shoot casually."
Ding Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, then angrily punched the snow beside him, "Hey!"
At this time, the second round of bombardment by the Japanese tanks began. The same nine shells immediately caused more places to burn with flames.
Standing on the city wall, Ding Xingyuan and the others could hear the cries in the city behind them.
The soldiers bit their lips and clenched their rifles one by one, really wanting to fire at the Japanese.
But without an order, no one dares to shoot casually!
"Where's the company commander? Why don't you see him coming to give orders?" Everyone was anxious, hoping that Jiao Xuefei could come out of the turret so that everyone could have a good fight with the Japanese.
In the turret, Jiao Xuefei was holding a phone in his hand and was asking for instructions from the other end of the phone. With the sound of gunfire outside, he stopped immediately. After looking back out the window, his voice suddenly became louder, "Grandma, battalion commander."
, the little devil is really firing."
"What, I understand. Please stay calm. The regiment headquarters is negotiating with the Japanese garrison stationed outside the south gate. I believe there will be a result soon." On the phone, Ande Xin's voice was also a bit high-pitched. It was obvious that
I am also holding back my anger.
"This little devil is riding on our neck and shitting. I can't fucking bear it." Jiao Xuefei gritted his back molars and squeezed out these words from between his teeth before putting down the phone, "Battalion Commander, I'll beat you up."
Go away, you bastards."
"Come back here, kid." Ande Xin yelled on the phone, causing Jiao Xuefei to stop. "If you kid, dare to disobey orders, don't stay in my camp from now on. Go wherever you like."
In one sentence, Jiao Xuefei was discouraged. He was rescued from the dead by Ande Xin, so he owed his life to Camp Commander And Xin. No matter what, he would not dare to play tricks with Camp Commander An.
"Battal Commander, are you just looking at it like this?" On the phone, Jiao Xuefei's voice also raised an octave, and this kind of suffocation made him feel very angry.
"Be patient, you must bear with me now and wait for the order from above." Ande Xin said word for word, "Before my order, you are absolutely not allowed to fight with the Japanese."
"Hey!" Jiao Xuefei dropped the phone on the table while talking on the phone, and then sat down on the chair.
If it weren't for Ande Xin, if it were any other battalion commander, even Commander Shi or even Brigadier He, he could pretend not to hear and do his own thing, but Battalion Commander An couldn't, he had to obey orders.
.
The Japanese tanks outside the window were still firing cannonballs, and the dazzling arcs of light streaked across the sky, and then fell on the residential areas in the city, blooming like fireworks, but these gorgeous fireworks were fatal.
In just a short time, the Japanese had launched eleven rounds of volleys. Hundreds of shells fell into several places in Yuguan City. Flames were already blazing. The shouts of adults and the roars of children carried along the night wind.
Jiao Xuefei buried his head deeply between his arms, sat in the turret without saying a word, and did not go out.
How could he have the nerve to go out? How should he face his brothers after he went out? Should he tell them to ignore the little devils and watch them fire into the city?
He couldn't say that, so he simply stayed in the house and didn't go out.
At this time, on the city wall, the soldiers of the third company were already red-eyed. The rifles in their hands were soaked with sweat from the tight grip. When the north wind blew, a thin layer of ice formed on the rifles, and then
It was captured by them again.
Seeing the Japs wreaking havoc outside the city, all bloody Chinese people were filled with rage, let alone these hot-blooded soldiers.
"Where's the company commander? Why hasn't the company commander given the order yet?"
"The little devil is too arrogant and deserves a beating."
"Why haven't you given the order yet?"
"Damn it, I really want to beat you to pieces with a machine gun."
"I can't stand it anymore!"
…………
The soldiers were noisy, waiting for Jiao Xuefei to give orders, but Jiao Xuefei never came out of the house. People already understood that they must not be allowed to move from above, otherwise the company commander would have been the first to shoot at the Japanese.
fire.
Recently, because the Japanese have been provoking them, the superiors have issued strict orders to the subordinates, telling them to exercise restraint and not to cause friction without authorization.
So everyone knows it in their mind, but they just don't say it out loud.
Today, the Japanese bullied us to the extreme, but the superiors still refused to budge, which made everyone very disappointed.
