Chapter 872 The armored battalion preempts the attack (two chapters in one)

On the pipeline ten kilometers east of Jingxing City, more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles of the Armored Battalion formed a semi-encirclement to cut the road into two sections. Each chariot was covered with thick thatch and reed mats.

Hundreds of cavalry soldiers hid behind the chariots, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese and puppet troops.

A blocking position under construction was blocked fifty meters ahead of the armored battalion.

Nearly a hundred cavalry gave up their war horses, held shovels in their hands, and desperately dug the soil under their feet.

This trench was temporarily built to block the reinforcement vanguard troops, so as to prevent the armored battalion and cavalry battalion from being exposed to the Japanese in advance.

According to the Japanese's conventional fighting style, the vanguard troops will definitely ask for help from the main force after encountering a blocking position. After all the Japanese and puppet troops are gathered together, the armored battalion and cavalry battalion will fight out and beat the dogs in the water...

"Report to battalion commander, the Japanese and puppet troops in Shimen City have been dispatched!" A sound of horse hooves came from the road ahead first. After the three cavalry crossed the blocking position and entered the vision of Tao Yongsheng and Fang Deshan, the familiar report came.

"It's a soldier from the Cavalry Battalion's Reconnaissance Squad. It seems that the Japanese in Shimen City have been fooled!" Tao Yongsheng said with a happy look on his face.

As he spoke, three cavalrymen rushed to Tao Yongsheng.

The armored battalion commander Fang Deshan poked his head out of the tank and looked at the three cavalry with anticipation.

"Report to the battalion commander, the Japanese and puppet troops in Shimen City have been dispatched!" The leading cavalry squad leader reported while gasping for breath.

"There are more than 1,500 Japanese in total, two Japanese in a regiment, and a squadron of war chariots, and the marching speed is very fast!"

"Character Squadron?" Tao Yongsheng was panicked when he heard this!

Tonight, the cavalry cooperated with the Armored Battalion to fight two raids. He followed the Armored Battalion and experienced the powerful assault capabilities of the Armored Battalion on the battlefield.

Without anti-tank weapons and heavy weapons, as soon as the armored battalion was launched, the invincible Japanese soldiers turned into a group of sheep and were chased and massacred by the armored battalion.

If the infantry chased by the armored battalion were replaced with cavalry, the result would definitely be much different.

The only difference is that cavalry will run faster than infantry, and there will be more soldiers who will eventually escape from the battlefield.

In the upcoming battle, the task of the cavalry battalion is to kill the Japanese and puppet troops. After the battle begins, not only can they not escape, but they have to rush forward against the Japanese chariot squadron, which is tantamount to commit suicide...

He stared at the reconnaissance squad leader and asked nervously: "How many tanks and armored vehicles are equipped?"

The squad leader of the investigation immediately reported: "This chariot squadron is not fully equipped, it is only equipped with two tanks and four armored vehicles!"

"Because there are tanks that open the way, the Japanese infantry also brought two infantry cannons and four mountain cannons, all hanging behind tanks and armored vehicles!"

"They marched in a group, and did not send a vanguard force. A tank and two armored vehicles walked in the front of the team, and three chariots left were walking in the middle of the team, behind the puppet army!"

Tao Yongsheng immediately looked at Fang Deshan: "Lao Fang, the Japanese reinforcements have brought tanks and armored vehicles. The cavalry troops will definitely not launch an assault against the Japanese chariot troops, unless the armored battalion can take the initiative and kill the Japanese chariots?"

Fang Deshan thought about it for a moment and understood Tao Yongsheng's concerns. He frowned and replied: "As long as the Japanese marching remains unchanged, I can take the initiative to kill the three chariots that took the lead. The three chariots walking in the middle of the team can only fight head-on."

"But our armored battalion has a numerical advantage. After defeating the three tanks in the front of the team, only tanks among the remaining three tanks can threaten our safety. Although the armored vehicles are also very powerful, they can only kill infantry and cavalry. As long as you do not take the initiative to crash into the armored vehicles after the attack begins, try to circumnavigate, and there is no danger."

"The armored battalion has six tanks. After encountering the remaining three tanks of the Japanese, the six tanks will first concentrate their firepower to kill the only one tank left by the Japanese, and then slowly clean up the remaining two armored vehicles, and strive to end the battle within three minutes. At that time, the cavalry battalion will cooperate with the armored battalion to attack with all its strength!"

Tao Yongsheng could not think of any other better way, so he could only nod: "Just do that. I will notify all cavalry companies now. After the assault starts, they will all go around the Japanese chariot squadron. We will kill the Japanese after you kill the chariot squadron!"

Fang Deshan continued to remind: "There is one more thing that needs help from the cavalry battalion!"

"The tank gun gun gun gunners of the armored battalion all became monks halfway through. They had not yet mastered their skills, and they were almost at the same time as fighting sports targets. If you want to take the initiative to kill the three Japanese tanks, it is best to force them to stand in front of us as fixed targets, so that the six tank guns can be sure to hit the target."

Tao Yongsheng quickly asked: "Lao Fang, you are an expert in tank fighting. I will cooperate with you what you say?"

Fang Deshan was not polite and arranged directly: "The Japanese embarked on a marching group. Is the blocking position we built in front of us basically useless?"

"Retreat them first, leave a row of trenches on the road to continue widening the trenches and dig a large pit three meters wide and one meter deep."

On the highway, reinforcements, which stretched for more than one kilometer, were quickly advancing under the leadership of three tanks and armored vehicles.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from burying mines on the road, the Japanese specially arranged a platoon of the Imperial Army to block the tank and open the way.

"Let Taijun stop moving forward. There is a big pit in front of you, and the tank cannot pass!" As he walked, a scream suddenly sounded in the middle of the puppet army. A few seconds later, the three tanks attached to them stopped, and several Japanese officers rushed over at the same time...

"Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is indeed very good. It actually thought of using a big pit to block the chariot troops!" The lieutenant of the Japanese crawled out of the tank cursed as soon as he saw the big pit.

The infantry captain standing next to him frowned and asked, "Mr. Otan.com, can your chariots pass through this big pit? The soldiers are very fast. Jingxing County may be captured by the Eighth Route Army at any time. We must kill them as soon as possible. We must not stay here for too long!"

Lieutenant Oda from the tank squadron looked at the big pit very seriously and shook his head: "The pit is too big, so it is definitely impossible to cross the line directly. I need infantry help to drive two ramps!"

"As long as there are many people, everyone will help together, it will take not a few minutes!"

The captain didn't want to delay for a minute, and immediately ordered the executive behind him: "Drag all our squadrons to repair the ramp, and it must be repaired within five minutes!"

The big pit was soon surrounded by Japanese soldiers. Except for a dozen guard posts, everyone else was digging soil and filling stones into the big pit.

At this time, six tanks from the Armored Battalion had already begun to rotate their turrets.

Although the three Japanese tanks have become fixed targets, in order to ensure that they are foolproof, they will first kill the tanks that can threaten the safety of the armored battalion. Fang Deshan temporarily changed his strategy and first concentrated four tank guns to attack the tanks. The remaining two tanks attacked the third armored vehicle together, and sandwiched the second tank in the middle. He couldn't run away, so he would wait for the second round of artillery to destroy it!

"Bang……"

A red signal flare representing the attack order suddenly took off, and the six tanks that were on standby roared at the same time.

"Boom..." A sound of cannons sounded, and the muzzles of six tank guns sprayed orange-red flames at the same time. Six shells also flew out of the cannon barrel at this moment, flying towards the target with a sharp rush.

Because the shooting distance is too close, the explosion of "boom boom boom..." was already heard on the battlefield when the cannon sounded.

Four shells hit the target, and the body of the armored vehicle was larger than the tank. Two shells flying towards it hit the target. With the explosion, the armored vehicle was torn apart in the splashing flames and a raging fire broke out.

The tank also suffered two shells. Although it was not exploded, a large hole was blown out by the shells, and rolling black smoke emerged from the hole, proving that the tank was destroyed!

"Enemy attack... Everyone hides..." The Japanese who was repairing the slope immediately put down their shovels, quickly lay down on the ground, held the rifle on their back in their hands, aimed at the position where the sound of cannons had just been heard and fired.

At this moment when the Japanese army responded quickly, the tanks and armored vehicles hidden around turned on the headlights together and shone at the Japanese who had just lying down. The heavy machine gun on the vehicle also joined the battle at this moment, and the bullets flew towards the Japanese with the headlights together!

"Bageya Road, the enemy has chariots, and we do not have anti-tank weapons. Once they come here, they will massacre us and the troops will retreat immediately." The captain and squadron leader knew his situation very well, and looked at the chariot that had already moved not far away and was full of despair commands.

The second armored vehicle guarded four Japanese soldiers, two machine gunners, one driver, and the other commander and machine gunner.

Seeing that the two chariots in front and behind were instantly destroyed, the captain was very excited and felt that the great god Amaterasu would bless him and let him escape the disaster. He quickly ordered: "Get back quickly, we have fallen into a trap. The enemy has at least six tanks. We are not opponents at all. Reverse the car and retreat quickly, otherwise we will be killed!"

The driver's reaction was very fast, and the armored vehicle started to move as soon as the commander left the command.

The Japanese in the carriage all breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Although they have never manipulated tanks, they have been active with tank hands every day and have heard a lot about tanks.

For tank guns, the active target is many times harder than a fixed target.

Everyone stopped on the road and did not move, so they were caught off guard by the tank guns. The two tanks were destroyed as fixed targets.

Now I move myself and retreat at full speed. No matter how powerful the enemy tank gun is, I don’t want to hit me easily.

Several Japanese devils felt that they were safe as soon as they moved.

After only two seconds of happiness, the armored vehicle that was retreating quickly stopped. The commander was so anxious that he almost jumped up. He cursed: "Bageya Road, continue to retreat, don't stop, don't give the enemy a chance to aim at us!"

After the order was issued, the armored vehicle still did not move, but the driver's desperate report sounded in his ears: "Sir, the armored vehicle behind has been destroyed, the width of the road is limited, we can't get around!"

"If you can't get around, you have to go around, go immediately!" The captain's nervous heart was already in his throat, and he ordered without hesitation: "If you don't want to die here, the armored vehicle must move!"

The cultural level of chariot soldiers is generally higher than that of infantry soldiers. The higher the level of culture, the less likely it is to be influenced by others. The lower the level of poisoning by Bushido, and relatively speaking, they are more afraid of death than infantry soldiers.

In order not to be hit by the tank gun, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards the roadside by the armored vehicle, trying to bypass the third armored vehicle that had been destroyed.

He was very unlucky. The armored vehicle rushed out of the highway and was stuck in a thatched pit. No matter how he stepped on the accelerator, the armored vehicle did not move at all.

When several Japanese were sweating profusely, the second round of "rumbling..." sound of cannons suddenly rang out, followed by a few explosions in their ears. A ball of white light appeared in front of them at the same time, and their bodies also flew up at this moment, losing consciousness...

In the middle of the reinforcements, the captain of the Japanese team led by the Japanese was frowning and observing the battle situation ahead.

It was too dark and the distance was far. Despite the help of telescopes, he could not see it very clearly. He could only judge the situation of the battle through the increasingly dense sound of firefighting.

"Sir, the enemy is equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, and the troops are definitely not much less. This is completely contrary to the judgment of the headquarters. On the grounds of caution, we'd better retreat immediately!" The adjutant frowned and reminded.

The captain shook his head and looked at the tank beside him to analyze: "Judged from the firepower, the enemy's troops are indeed quite large."

"But we have tanks and are not afraid of heavy machine guns at all. If they are just light infantry equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, we will not only not have to retreat, but we can also kill them and fight back and destroy them!"

The adjutant quickly figured out what was in the captain's mind and agreed with this style of play in his heart. He no longer insisted on his proposal just now and observed the battle situation with the captain.

"Captain... we were fooled, our squadron leader... let me remind you to retreat immediately..." A messenger suddenly ran over and gasped and reported from a distance, just like he was frightened, his face pale and his words were not very straightforward.

"Why should we retreat? Are there three chariots ahead? Are even chariots not enemies?" The captain stared at the messenger and asked two questions in a row, with a stunned and suspicious expression on his face, staring at the messenger and waiting for his next report.

The messenger was anxious.

Before coming, the squadron leader repeatedly told him: When he saw the captain, he would ask him to retreat. The longer the troops were delayed here, the more imperial troops would be killed by the enemy chariot troops.

The enemy chariot troops are on the way to kill. The captain stops here for one more minute. When the chariots come here, the more soldiers they will be killed.

Immediately, I told all the battle situation I knew, just like the bamboo tube pouring beans: "The three chariots were destroyed, the enemy was equipped with at least six tanks, and they were coming towards us..."

The captain couldn't calm down when he heard the "six tanks" and interrupted decisively!

"Retreat, the rear team becomes the front team, march quickly to withdraw back to the stone gate, and retreat now!"

After giving the order, he turned his attention to the messenger again: "You continue to report, and while retreating, how were our three tanks destroyed by the enemy, who were the enemy? Why were even tanks equipped?"
