Chapter 4 All-round War of Resistance (Seventeen Devastations)
In early April in North China, the spring was cold and the temperature had not yet risen. Through the telescope, Ryosuke Yoshitsune saw one after another Chilo and Dou chariots catching fire, exploding, rolling under the bombardment of the cadet army chariots, and from time to time their whole bodies were injured. The burning soldier crawled out from the burning wreckage of the chariot, rolling all the way and making a shrill howl of ghosts and wolves, and finally fell down with nervous twitches. Looking at the opponent's chariot again, he almost didn't move after being hit, and a chill came from the bottom of his heart. Rising, he couldn't help but shivered. He put down the telescope, and he staggered and almost fell down. It was really hard to figure out how long it had been. Why did the empire have a tank that it was proud of and an airplane? It didn't work. What kind of army was the Xuebing Army opposite? What kind of person was Ouyang Yun? He knew Tojo Hideki's real purpose of launching this battle, and he didn't agree with it at first. I thought it was a trivial matter, but now I feel it is too late. A powerful enemy of the imperial cause. If this nail cannot be removed, forget about the Chinese strategy. North China will become a problem. Suddenly, there is another bombardment not far away. There was a loud noise. This was the ammunition in a Chilo tank being detonated. A huge cloud of smoke rose. He couldn't help but yelled a little nervously: "No, if this continues, the tank troops will definitely... The whole army has been destroyed, Major Ming Jing, I order you to support Araki Murashige with artillery." He shouted loudly to the artillery commander Ming Jing Yidao, without his usual commanding temperament.
In order to conceal the true intention of this battle and create an opportunity for the 111th Team, the Ninth Division not only dispatched all its troops, but also brought eight 150 mm caliber heavy artillery. This batch of heavy artillery was originally intended by Ryosuke Yoshitsune. It used its ultra-long range to deal with the artillery of the Academy Army, but now it has to "overkill" and use it as an anti-tank gun.
On the wall of Xifengkou, Ouyang Yun was also watching the battle situation with a telescope. Unlike Ji Zhuliangsuke, because of the heroic performance of Hu Li and the others, he was watching the "sky lanterns" being lit on the tanks of the Japs one after another. , burned into scrap metal, he was in a surprisingly good mood. He looked at the people around him and found that the young officers who had seen this kind of scene for the first time were opening their mouths slightly, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. , he curled up the corner of his mouth, feeling a little proud. In the past, a scene like this would never happen. It’s really sad to think about it. A big country with 400 million people can’t even build a real country. chariots, or even "bean chariots", which can only be regarded as children's toys, and can only be beaten passively. From the successful time travel to where we are today, I dare not say that it has caused any impact on the history of this time and space. Although Ouyang Yun had a great impact on him, looking at the scene in front of him, Ouyang Yun felt that he had achieved a small amount of success. Thinking like this, a kind of pride flowed in his body uncontrollably. He held his head high and looked forward. Said loudly: "You remember, whether it is for a family, a country, or even an individual, 'If you fall behind, you will be beaten.' This is a wise saying. If a person does not fall behind, he needs to study hard, and a person If a country does not want to fall behind, it needs a group of people to constantly push forward. Our country, due to various reasons, has lagged behind the world trend for a long time. As the younger generation, we must redouble our efforts to make up for the mistakes that our parents and grandparents have left behind. To add to that, did you see those burning Japanese tanks? The Japanese relied on them to invade our three northeastern provinces. But now, they are vulnerable to our Jiguang tanks. The Japanese can defeat them repeatedly. For us, it’s not that they are so advanced, but that we are too lagging behind. We want to change this situation, and we can change it. Everyone, today’s victory is just the beginning. We still have many, many ways to go..."
Ouyang Yun's impromptu speech was very high-spirited, and just as he was spitting, there was suddenly a violent sound of artillery fire from the artillery position behind the Japanese army. After a puff of black smoke rose, a moment later, a The large-caliber artillery shell smashed into the tank array of the Hero Tank Battalion with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, making a loud "boom". This test projectile did not hit any target, but just fired on the ground. A large pit about one meter deep, and then a thick mushroom cloud rose,
At that time, Hu Li, the battalion commander of the heroic tank battalion, was commanding the troops to encircle and annihilate the Japanese tanks in front of the breakthrough. His face was scratched by shrapnel flying everywhere on the battlefield, and blood, dust and gunpowder mixed together, smeared on his face. Several colorful scars made his expression look a bit ferocious. Several tanks in front of both sides were already entangled in close combat. Among them, the craziest one was undoubtedly the one commanded by Fang Dayong. Because of the distance, It was too close and he was afraid of causing accidental damage if he fired the gun. The Shandong young man directly leveled the anti-aircraft machine gun and operated it himself. He used the machine gun to blow up a Chilo. Hu Li's attention was originally attracted by Fang Dayong. Well, under his control, at least three tanks were rushing over. One of them was equipped with rockets, and even found an opportunity to launch one. The rocket lived up to expectations, dragging a long and shaky The long tail smoke hit the track part of a Chilo, causing the Chilo to be directly blasted half a meter off the ground. Then it disintegrated in the air and turned into parts scattered around. Hu Li witnessed the excellence of the rocket with his own eyes. He couldn't help but clenched his fist with all his strength and shouted: "Good shot." The next moment, the sound of heavy shells breaking through the air attracted his attention. After the violent explosion, he saw the large crater about one meter deep, and he felt in his heart For a moment, I vaguely guessed that the Japanese heavy artillery was starting to show off its power.
Although the armor of the Jiguang tank was more than enough to deal with Chilo's 57mm smoothbore gun, it could not withstand the power of the heavy shells. At that moment, he shouted over the walkie-talkie without thinking: "The little devil has no skills, it seems. Prepare to fight hard, brothers, prepare to retreat. Those who have lost the ability to maneuver, abandon the vehicle, Fang Dayong, don't just care about your own happiness, bring a platoon to the rear and pay attention to maneuvering."
The armor of the little devil's tank is really poor. Not to mention the anti-aircraft machine gun, even the ordinary machine gun can penetrate it within a certain range. Fang Dayong used the anti-aircraft machine gun to blow up a Chilo and a Dou Zhan. He was right in his heart. He was so happy that when he heard Hu Li's shout, he looked back and saw Hu Li not far away. He laughed and saluted, then picked up the microphone of the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Jiang Qiong, Guo Yushan, Let's all stay behind and cover, while the others retreat first. If the Japanese use heavy artillery, let me run and don't give them a chance to take aim."
At this time, there were only a few tanks left in front of the Japanese army. The technical gap between the tanks on both sides was too great. Although the Japanese army had the advantage in terms of shooting accuracy, they could not break through the armor. A few lucky ones hit the track, forcing the opponent to use the tank as a fixed fort, but they were unable to completely destroy a tank in a true sense. This made the once proud and proud Araki Murashige completely lose his previous momentum. , at one point he was so angry that he jumped off the tank, holding the command knife and wanted to rush forward for a hand-to-hand fight. It was really frustrating for him. He clearly had the upper hand in terms of numbers, and the quality of the soldiers also had the upper hand, but this advantage was hard against the Jiguang tank. Armor, but could not be transformed into a real advantage on the battlefield. Seeing one Chiro after another, Douzhan was blown up and caught on fire like a sky lantern by the Chinese. Araki Murashige wanted to die.
