At around ten o'clock in the morning, the sun had already reached the top of the head. When it was still affiliated with the 29th Army, thanks to Xiong Bin's credit, the military training division was equipped with nearly two thousand German-style steel helmets. After Renqiu's steel plant was put into operation, all In addition to supplying the steel required for making guns, the steel produced was given priority to the Second Ordnance Factory to produce a large number of steel helmets. When the 129th Regiment came over, because Feng Zhian had other plans, not a single bit of equipment was withheld. The First Military Police Regiment As an elite member of Chiang Kai-shek's direct lineage, his equipment is all German style, including steel helmets and so on. So if the military training division now has the most complete equipment, it would be a broadsword and a steel helmet.
With the experience of the second regiment fighting tanks, the anti-tank fighters of the third regiment have become much more confident. On a squad basis, two people have one anti-tank gun or the "Weiqing 1" that has just been transformed from the "Weiqing-type" automatic rifle. Type" sniper rifle. Under the sun, camouflage-colored steel helmets paved a "green belt" beside the trench.
Shao Bigang was born as a guard of the 51st Army. He had been an artilleryman for a while. He leaned against the earth wall with his two feet on several bullet boxes. He stretched his left thumb in front of him and squinted his eyes to measure the artillery fire. Zhu Yuan's method is measuring the distance of the enemy tank from our side.
There was a long sound of "Shh", and Fang Qing, the guard and orderly who had been standing nearby and watching him eagerly, felt something was wrong and immediately rushed forward, shouting: "Batalion Commander, be careful."
Shao Bigang had also heard that something was wrong, but Xu was too focused on measuring the distance. He failed to react in time. He was thrown into the trench by Fang Qinggang, and a shell roared and hit the trench not far from them. Next to them, there was a violent explosion, and mud shrapnel flew, hitting their helmets.
Shao Bigang immediately turned over and pushed Fang Qing, and asked anxiously: "Are you okay?"
Fang Qing got up, shook his head and said, "It's okay."
Shao Bigang ignored him and stood on the bullet box again. Then, he shouted loudly: "Attention all anti-tank gunners, fire two rounds of salvos, then fire freely. Be careful to change positions in time. Everyone else is ready to shoot." "
The anti-tank crews could no longer bear it any longer. They heard dull gunshots one after another. Among the eight "Chilo" tanks that were leading less than a mile away from them, two of them had flashes of armor on their fronts almost at the same time. There was fire, but what surprised the shooters was that although they accurately hit the opponent's turtle shell, it had no effect.
The "Chilo" is not a "Northern Manchuria". Its frontal armor is designed to withstand a 37mm caliber gun at a distance of 600 meters. Even 37mm artillery shells cannot penetrate the armor. Anti-tank guns with a much smaller caliber can Does it work? Or can it be equipped with armor-piercing bullets? However, the anti-tank gun has no effect on it. This is unexpected by everyone. When they see the tank they hit still rushing towards them with black smoke, some people are dumbfounded. Living,
Shao Bigang broke into a cold sweat when he witnessed this situation. He panicked and hurriedly called Fang Qing: "Xiao Fang, hurry up and inform the group. We, we may not be able to withstand it." After saying this, his face was filled with pain. and humiliation twisted into extremely ugly shapes,
Fang Qing was stunned for a moment, saw the face of the battalion commander, turned around and ran away. He didn't run far before he saw Xiao Bingkun. Xiao Bingkun had obviously discovered this emergency situation on the battlefield. Fang Qing saw him , braked suddenly and jumped on the edge of the trench, panting and saying: "Regiment, regiment, the battalion commander asked me to tell you that our battalion may, may not be able to withstand it. The tanks of the little devil are too powerful. Can the anti-tank guns hit them?" Use it." Fang Qing was still a child. As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
This situation was not only beyond Xiao Bingkun's expectation, but it was obviously not something that the young man could solve. His face turned pale with anxiety, he came over and patted Fang Qing on the chest, and said: "There is always a way, here We must hold on, even if there is only one person left." He ran to Shao Bigang with two guards and said: "Battle Commander Shao, put up the flag of your battalion."
Shao Bigang glanced at him and immediately understood something from the determined expression on his face. Instead, he became open-minded and shouted loudly: "Xiao Fang, put up the flag of our battalion for me."
Because there was nothing they could do about the steel monster in front of the opponent, the soldiers of the first battalion seemed a little nervous. Some anti-tank soldiers were still shooting stubbornly, but with no results. Some of them were so anxious that their eyes oozed out. bloodshot,
The flag of the first battalion fluttered in the wind. The words "Third Brigade, Third Regiment of the Renqiu Autonomous Government Military Training Division" were accompanied by the pattern of crossed pens and sickles, hammers and guns with a yellow five-pointed star on the flag. exhibition,
This battle flag is naturally Ouyang Yun's masterpiece, and the reason why he added a five-pointed star, a sickle and a hammer on top of the pen and gun is because of the influence he received in later generations.
Looking at the bright battle flag, Shao Bigang straightened his waist and said loudly: "Brothers, do you still remember the solemn oath sworn under this flag?"
"Remember."
"So today, let us use our actions to defend the honor of this flag. Even if we fight to the last man, we must let it continue to fly in the wind."
The soldiers were silent. The soldiers who were supposed to be responsible for the second round of defense came out of the hidden air-raid holes and air-raid shelters. They clenched their fists, and there was only perseverance in their eyes.
In the tank battle formation coming from the opposite side, seeing that the opponent's anti-tank gun hit the front armor of his own tank without any reaction, in the middle of the "Kilot", Naokawa gave an acceleration order with a grin, and at the same time asked "North Manchuria" "The tank quickly followed up, preparing to catch the enemy by surprise.
The eight "Qi Luo" stepped on the accelerator almost at the same time, and a burst of thick black smoke came out from behind their butts, and then they ran over like wild horses running towards the camp of the cadet division on the opposite side.
After Ouyang Yunkai relieved Feng Yuanxiu, he was finally relieved about the outcome of the battle. He ordered Liu Zheliang and others to help him under the camouflage net. He lay half-ly on several empty ammunition boxes, picked up the binoculars and looked ahead. He could see the sight of anti-tank bullets hitting the medium tanks of the Little Devil. He felt cold and wanted to slap himself hard. If he could not effectively contain the eight medium tanks of the opponent, then... ... He shook his head and didn't dare to think about it. He was really too careless and too self-righteous. He thought that all the tanks of the Japs were at the level of "Bean Tanks". Now he is destined to pay the price for it.
He shouted loudly: "Xiao Bingkun."
"Captain Xiao has gone to the front line." Liu Zheliang said cautiously. He found that there was something wrong with Ouyang Yun's expression.
"Who else is there in those three regiments? Ask the top officer left behind to come see me."
"Master, what's wrong?" Guo Da, who had been following nearby, came over and asked,
Ouyang Yun weakly pointed forward and said: "Quickly, organize a death squad, all carrying explosive packs or cluster grenades. The tanks sent by the Japs this time have new models, and anti-tank guns are ineffective against them."
"Ah." Guo Da was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly turned around and ran away.
Ouyang Yun looked pale, looked at his back, and murmured to himself: "If the defense fails this time, it will be all my fault." Suddenly, he seemed to be seriously ill.
Because this unexpected situation was not expected, this battle was destined to become very dangerous. Even if we could win in the end, it would definitely be a tragic victory, because a victory that was won with the blood and lives of the soldiers was really not something to be proud of.
Coming from later generations, he is well aware of the situation between Israel and Palestine. In Ouyang Yun's view, the Palestinians' self-destruction to resist Israel is more of a pitiful and helpless act than a tragic and heroic act. Before the critical moment, He would definitely not do that, nor would he allow his subordinates to do it, but now,
Guo Da quickly organized a death squad of about fifty people. He personally led the team. More than fifty people took off all other weapons on their bodies, either holding explosive packs or cluster grenades, and went there without hesitation. The first battalion ran to the position. When they arrived there, the little Japanese tank was less than fifty meters away from the trench defended by the first battalion. The situation was critical. The vehicle-mounted machine gun on the tank sprayed out flames. Under the condescending situation, Soldiers in the first battalion were hit by bullets from time to time and fell down on their fighting positions.
Behind the tank, the Japs set up mortars, grenades, and light and heavy machine guns, and began to provide cover for the infantry. Under this situation, the death squads would have to pay more casualties if they wanted to blow up the Japs' tanks.
As a veteran, after experiencing the initial panic, Shao Bigang made the correct strategic arrangement and ordered the anti-tank gunners to move to the second trench and let them aim at the "Bean Tank" behind and shoot at it. At the same time, he decided to use the Great Wall of flesh and blood to capture the Eight indestructible "turtle cars" were blocked in front of the first trench. At this time, both he and Xiao Pingkun had realized the role of cluster grenades.
In the tactics class of the training division, there were detailed instructions on the use of cluster grenades, and there was also an explanation of the structure of the tank. The weakest part of the tank armor is under the belly. Here, cluster grenades will definitely be able to penetrate the armor, even at worst. Blow up the tracks, thereby making the tank lose its ability to maneuver. If possible, if a grenade can be inserted through the upper end cover, then no matter how strong the tank is, it will definitely be reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
Facing the crushing steel monster, a platoon leader named Liu Laogen took the lead in picking up the temporarily bundled cluster grenade and crawled out of the trench. However, before he could put the cluster grenade under his arm, a shuttle of machine gun bullets He swept over, and with a "puff puff" sound, his shoulders and chest were beaten to a bloody pulp, and he died unwillingly without even making a sound.
Naokawa obviously saw his opponent's intention. He shouted over the walkie-talkie: "Everyone, be careful, don't let the Chinese get close to the tank, machine gunners, kill them (shoot), kill them without stopping."
