Chapter 4: All-round Anti-Japanese War (Six Completed Defeats)
After the explosion, the No. 001 tank burst into flames and the door was pushed open. Fang Qiangming and Gao Erzi crawled out first. Then, the two of them worked together and Gao Erzi's loader Zhang Genbao was dragged out. Zhang Genbao's lower body was bloody and covered with blood. It's a scratch, his face has turned pale due to blood loss, and he is moaning in pain,
Compared with the three people in the car, Fan Ziyi and Lin Dayu were in a more miserable situation. Among them, Fan Ziyi could no longer see his original appearance. At the moment the bomb exploded, he was still shooting and suffered too much shrapnel from the front. , so at this moment he looked like a so-called one, his whole body was covered with shrapnel, but his eyes were still open angrily, and he seemed to be still firing anger at the enemy plane. Beside him, Lin Dayu's lower body was still He was pressed under the car, and his chest was torn open by shrapnel. The blood stained his body and the surrounding soil red.
Gao Erzi shouted: "Tuanzuo, Daewoo." He rushed over,
Fang Qiangming was calmer than him. He pulled off the first aid kit from his waistband and quickly used the first aid knowledge he had learned to bandage Zhang Genbao. He called to Gao Erzi: "Erzi, take Genbao with you. There is a hidden entrance ahead."
According to Zhang Zhen's previous arrangement, after completing the fire test mission, the four tanks should enter the hidden entrance and drive directly into the air-raid shelter with a depth of about ten meters. However, the 001 tank was late in discovering the enemy aircraft and In addition, Fan Ziyi's love battle lost this opportunity,
The four tanks, numbered from 001 to 004, belong to four variants. The difference between the four tanks is reflected in the anti-aircraft weapons. For example, 001's air defense relies on two anti-aircraft machine guns, while 002 has three twins. Anti-aircraft machine gun, 003 is an anti-aircraft gun plus two twin anti-aircraft machine guns, 004 is a newly developed variant, and is fundamentally different from the first three. The specific manifestation is that its fire control system is semi-automatic and symmetrical. The two anti-aircraft guns arranged share the same brick tower and the same height adjuster. The main gunner only needs to use two handles to drive the motor for aiming operations.
It stands to reason that the No. 004 tank is the most technologically advanced among the four tanks. In some aspects, it even broke through the current technical bottleneck. However, in the end, the only one that failed to achieve results was the 004 tank, and its main gunner was Because I found that actual combat was not as easy as target practice, I made decisive tactical adjustments. After firing a 20-round ammunition chain, I asked the driver to drive the tank into the air defense tunnel.
According to Zhang Zhen's combat layout, Fan Ziyi's mission is not to achieve many results and successfully block the Japanese aircraft. They only need to carry out effective shooting and obtain more than two rounds of combat data.
Of the four tanks, only the No. 004 tank was the one that seriously implemented this combat policy. Although they shot down three enemy planes in the end, none of them survived. Among them, except Gao Erzi, Lin Dayu and Zhang Genbao escaped. ,Others, including Fan Ziyi, all died gloriously,
Faced with this result, Zhang Zhen was so angry that he called Fan Ziyi a bastard. Not only did he lose his life because he regarded military orders as child's play, but he also implicated all his subordinates, causing such heavy casualties. Tank soldiers are a technical arm, not like ordinary infantry. In this way, someone can be put on the battlefield after just a few months of training. It usually takes about four months to replenish a qualified soldier. The manpower and material resources spent during this period are completely different. They are far away in Dingzhou and are now in Dingzhou. Ouyang Yun, who was rushing to make fireworks with Hou Debang, received a call from Zhang Zhen. For the first time, someone who had never been angry with him said harsh words to this chief of staff with a special background: "Zhang Zhen, before I came here, I said I have emphasized that if the air defense force does not have an absolute numerical advantage against the air force, it is no different than risking death. As the highest officer, how can you be so careless? Do you think the lives of the soldiers are worthless, or you can't stand it. Japanese bombing..."
"Military, I take full responsibility for this mistake."
"Now is not the time to hold people accountable. I just feel bad. Do you know how difficult it is for us to train a qualified tank soldier? We only have one tank soldier in total, which is less than a brigade. Moreover, Fan Ziyi is a colonel commander, a colonel in the special forces. The regiment commander is worthy of a brigade commander..."
"Sir, is there any hope for that new weapon?"
"It's almost done. Because of this, I feel even more sad for the sacrifices of Fan Ziyi and the others. Okay, you will immediately issue an order later and strictly prohibit anyone from going to war. In addition, you tell those businessmen that the days of Japanese aircraft's arrogance will soon be over." It’s over.”
"Military seat, you have to hurry up. The Japanese are now starting to throw incendiary bombs and burn down people's houses. Although we did not cause too many casualties because of our timely warning, if this continues, there will inevitably be a wave of refugees."
This was Ouyang Yun's biggest concern. He calmed down and said in a deep voice: "We will be back in two days at the latest. By the way, is there a big loss at Liyu Island?"
Because there is a pharmaceutical factory and an arsenal on Carp Island, the Xuebing Army must defend it. Therefore, if Renqiu is passively defensive, Carp Island is defensive.
"The casualties are heavy, and certain results have been achieved. It shouldn't be a problem to hold on for another two days. I have already supplemented the Second Regiment of the Air Defense Brigade."
"Brother Zhang, just now I was impatient and my tone was bad. Don't be surprised."
"It doesn't exist, I can understand it."
"Haha, let me tell you, if you persist for two days at most, I will give you a chance to feel proud."
Carp Island, I don’t know if the Japanese did not obtain detailed information, or because of other reasons, there were only more than 30 fighter planes that bombed here first, among which the bombers were the size of a squadron.
Because of the special status of the Carp Island arsenal and pharmaceutical factory, the guard troops here are organized separately from the old camp. They are mainly composed of soldiers eliminated by swords and wolf fangs. They have the size of a strengthened regiment, and the weapons used are medium and long. The main weapons are range weapons, including 12 anti-aircraft guns, all twin-mounted with a caliber of 20 mm; more than 400 anti-aircraft machine guns, and more than 200 twin anti-aircraft machine guns.
When the enemy planes flew over in darkness, all members of the Liyu Island guard force who had received Zhang Zhen's combat order call were dispatched and quickly set up the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the surrounding air defense positions.
"One, two, three... darling, thirty-seven." On a "small island" with an area of only about 20 square meters next to Liyu Island, Zhang Qin guarded a twin anti-aircraft machine gun and whispered softly. Counting, next to him, the loader Li Haiming held the ammunition chain and followed his gaze. His face turned pale, and he said bitterly: "Let the little devil be rampant for a while, and wait for our plane." After flying back from Guangdong, they have beautiful things to see."
"Yeah." Zhang Qin grasped the gun body and trigger with both hands, took a deep breath, and then said: "Get ready to fight."
