Division Commander Qian hurriedly sent an order to the armored troops of the 18th Division in front: "No matter how strong the resistance is, your tanks and armored vehicles must rush forward, and the resistance and harassment of the New Fourth Army along the way will be solved by the infantry team behind."
The commander of the armored regiment of the 18th Division, who received the opportunity to continue to advance, was dumbfounded, and scolded Lao Qian for not knowing how to pretend to understand, and commanded blindly: "It's really a mess, if the tank armored vehicle is not guarded by infantry, it is a group of moving targets, and if you risk rushing up at this time, you will be sent to death."
At this time, Lao Qian is not only the commander of the 18th Division, but also the former enemy commander-in-chief of this campaign, and his power can be described as hot, even Commander Gu of the Xuzhou Bandit Suppression Headquarters does not dare to do anything to him, and those of us who are petty officers can only obey him.
The chief of staff of the armored regiment hurriedly said to the regiment commander: "Tuanza, you must listen to the orders of the upper peak, I also know that without the cover of the infantry behind, we will be more than lucky when we rush forward, although the New Fourth Army on the opposite side of the buns do not have special anti-tank weapons, but they still have explosives and grenades, I think we still put the tanks and armored vehicles together, pay attention to the cover on both sides, and be careful to rush over, so that we can not only carry out the attack order, but also prevent falling into the enemy's trap, once we find that there is an abnormal movement in front, Immediately retreated, relying on our mobility, we were still sure to run past the two mud legs of the New Fourth Army. ” When the regiment commander heard this, he felt that he could only do this now, after all, Lao Qian was his top boss, if he disobeyed his orders, Lao Qian had many ways to make himself miserable, hey, the official was a big man to crush people to death, not to mention that people were many levels older than him, what can be done, the tank armored unit is a technical team, extremely professional, and he fell under an errand officer who is full of infantry thoughts, isn't it a little too sad.
At the moment when the armored regiment of the 18th Division broke away from the cover of the infantry and ventured to continue to advance in the direction of Huai'an, the scout brothers under the fat man had already transmitted this information to the ears of the fat man, and the fat man was worried that there was no place to counterattack.
Avenge the shame of the brothers who died tragically on the battlefield The fat man was angry, and personally brought a few teams of demolition team brothers to the front line, waiting for the armored regiment of the 18th Division to come, and the commander of his regiment saw that the division commander was going to fight hard, so he hurriedly took his brothers to follow closely behind the fat man, covering him to fight the tank, in case the fat man could not resist the onslaught of the enemy's tank armored vehicles, it was better to pull him down in time Soon, the fat man on the position felt that the ground under his feet was trembling, this time there was no need to lie on the ground and listen carefully to the sound, those American-made tanks and armored vehicles of the 18th Division drove over, and after a while, the fat man heard the roar of the heavy tank engine from the front, and he hurriedly looked ahead with a telescope: good guy, the enemy must have gone crazy, and the huge bodies of dozens of American-made tanks appeared in the fat man's telescope, extremely fast, and a burst of smoke and dust rolled up behind him, These tanks are much bigger than what the fat man saw when he fought against the little devils before, and the cannons on the tanks are also much bigger, if these steel giants rush in together, the position will be all built of reinforced concrete, and they will not be able to stop the enemy's tanks from rushing forward, and everything on the ground will be crushed by these steel monsters and turned into powder.
The fat man's head suddenly became a lot bigger, and he was secretly surprised and anxious: "Damn, it seems that the Eighteenth Division is going to fight hard with Lao Tzu, and it has dispatched so many big tanks to deal with us, what can we do with those explosives bags and grenades in the hands of our brothers in the demolition team, in case we can't blow up those tanks, then my Lao Liu will have to stay here today, it doesn't matter if I die, there are people in our New Fourth Army who are experts in war, but if these tanks are allowed to rush in, then the brothers behind us will be miserable, I can't stop them.
The fat man was so anxious that his fat head kept shaking, and he hurriedly used his binoculars to check the enemy tanks coming from the opposite side, trying to find out the enemy's flaws from there, so that he could blow up the steel monsters that stopped these rushing over At this time, the infantry regiments under the first division caught up, and when they saw the formation in front of them, they were really startled, after all, the fat man was a veteran of the war who had seen the world, and when he saw that his brothers were coming, his confidence was not small, and he ordered the infantry to use mortar fire to block the shooting, and first attract the firepower of those tanks, and all the brothers in the demolition group paid attention and began to attack The fat man's first division is equipped with some mountain artillery and mortar weapons, Zhou Wu considered that the fat man's first division is good at fighting tough battles and attacking fortifications, and the firepower must be stronger than several other divisions, so Zhang Ercheng's upgraded howitzer regiment except for a battalion directly commanded by Zhou Wu, the rest were given to the fat man, but Zhang Ercheng's howitzer regiment was not as fast as the infantry brothers due to its heavy equipment, and it was still marching more than ten miles behind the team, and it was originally ordered to retreat in the direction of Huai'an.
Now when the fat man saw that the armored regiment of the 18th Division had broken through alone without the cover of a large number of Kuomintang infantry troops, he temporarily changed his mind and wanted to eat the 18th Division's Qian Qian's housekeeping team, so he ordered Zhang Ercheng to quickly turn around, rush to the blocking position, and use artillery fire to cover and support the blocking infantry brothers.
Zhang Ercheng is also very good, as soon as he sees that the situation is urgent, if his entire team catches up, I am afraid that when he gets there, even the daylily is cold, and he has an idea, and orders his brothers to divide into two groups, the first batch of light and easy-to-carry mortars to catch up with the fat man and them as quickly as possible, and the second group of brothers carry large-caliber artillery such as mountain artillery just to keep up, as long as they reach within the maximum firing range, they can dig up artillery positions, and use long-range firepower such as mountain artillery to support the brothers of the first division against the 18th division on the front blocking position Zhang Ercheng said that he would do it, and personally took the first batch of brothers with mortars and other light artillery to the front, running all the way, and finally rushed to the blocking position when the fat man was about to attack, the fat man was worried that the covering firepower was not enough, and when he saw that the artillery expert Zhang Ercheng arrived, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Zhang Ercheng: "Zhang Ercheng, you are my old Liu's timely rain, it is great that you are here, quickly fire at the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, and cover the attack of our demolition team brothers."
Zhang Ercheng roared: "Brothers, immediately enter the position, and bombard with eight rapid shots" Zhang Ercheng was anxious, and when he saw that the tank rushing in front was about to rush to the edge of the position, he hurriedly picked up the mortar with both hands and shouted to an artillery soldier next to him: "Quickly reload" The artillery brother immediately took a shell and stuffed it into the barrel with a "clang", Zhang Ercheng hurriedly turned his head sideways, only to hear a "tom" sound, the mortar shell roared out of the barrel, cut through the air, and smashed on the top of a rushing enemy tank not far in front of the explosion exploded, and then, Zhang Ercheng's artillery brothers opened artillery bombardment one after another, some of the mortars fired smoke bombs, and the thick black smoke soon spread, covering the front of the position, The tank men of the 18th Division Armored Regiment in the tank couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly for a while, so they stepped on the brakes and stopped, and the turrets kept rotating, looking for all possible targets in front of them, ready to fire at any time At this moment, dozens of groups of fat men under the demolition group brothers have taken advantage of the smoke to rush up, just when the brothers are about to touch the edge of the enemy tank, the enemy tank soldiers in the tank suddenly found the demolition group brothers holding the explosives bag through the lookout glass, immediately shouted wildly, the tank quickly started, and rushed towards the blasting group brothers with a strange scream, seeing that they were about to crush the brothers' bodies, only to see two brothers holding the explosives bag pull the fuse, and the fire "snort" The explosive bag of white smoke was stuffed under the belly of the tank that rushed over, and his body also rushed forward, and he followed in, only to see a dazzling white light flash, a deafening loud noise sounded, and the explosive bag exploded violently, and the powerful shock wave and air wave generated by the explosion directly lifted the turret of the American-made tank in the head, and threw it out, and the track was blown into a piece of broken iron, and the raging fire burned, and soon devoured the unlucky enemy tank, The tank soldiers in the tank who were on fire crawled out screaming, and before they could roll on the ground a few times, they lay on the ground and did not move.
Immediately after, violent explosions sounded one after another, and soon three tanks were blown up by the brothers of the demolition group, paralyzed on the ground, and burned, and the commander of the enemy's armored regiment behind saw that he was attacked by the New Fourth Army, and lost four tanks at once, so he was shocked and hurriedly ordered his subordinates with a car intercom: "Immediately turn around and retreat, the No. 3 and No. 5 cars are blocked by artillery fire, the armored vehicles are covered by fire, and the whole team alternately covers and retreats."
Two enemy tanks immediately fired tank artillery shells at the fat man's position, a shell just smashed not far from the fat man's side, a wave of scorching air hit the fat man who was on the position, the two brothers next to the fat man quickly pounced, and pressed the fat man to the ground, and the telescope in the fat man's hand was suddenly thrown out of the distance, hit a stone, and fell apart and shattered. t1706231537:
