But what made Regiment Commander Li feel incomprehensible was that no matter how his artillery bombarded, the New Fourth Army on the opposite side just didn't fight back, what was wrong with this, Commander Li wondered: "The New Fourth Army is not this kind of character, if it were normal, they would have been "kicking and crackling" at this moment, why is there no movement at all now, what is the situation in front of them, have they all withdrawn from their positions?"
Thinking of this, Commander Li felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, feeling that he might have good luck this time, the New Fourth Army is also human after all, but the will to fight is slightly stronger than ours, but the weapons and equipment in their hands are irreparable, this point, Commander Li still has considerable confidence in the American tanks he is equipping, just now at that meeting, he only lost four tanks, and the New Fourth Army on the opposite side also died a lot of soldiers in order to blow up their own tanks, The only thing they can blow up the tank is the explosive bag, and there is nothing else to do, in this case, why don't I boldly rush over and capture the position in one fell swoop, even if I encounter stubborn resistance, I can use armored vehicles to attract fire on the position, and the tank can quickly assault up, even if it is to crush the positions of the New Fourth Army Regiment Commander Li ordered his 20 or so American-made tanks to divide into two teams and rush up from the left, center, and right, and the armored vehicles used fire to cover and suppress the firepower of the New Fourth Army on the position, and took the blocking position on the opposite side in one fell swoop.
The tanks let out a "boom" engine roar, panting and rushing towards the position, and the armored vehicles behind hurriedly followed, and the heavy machine guns and artillery kept hitting the position, and the bombed position was full of gunsmoke and earth and rocks.
It's a mess.
When Regiment Commander Li saw this situation, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that his artillery fire was fierce, and he blew up the New Fourth Army buns on the opposite position, so he hurriedly rushed up with the remaining tanks.
Just when these tanks were about to rush to the blocking position, suddenly a large area in front of the position collapsed, and the tanks that rushed up fell into the big pit below, Commander Li saw it, and hurriedly ordered the tank soldiers to brake and stop advancing, but it was too late, due to the inertia, except for the tank cars behind Commander Li, more than ten tanks in front of them all fell into the big pit, it turned out that this place had already been hollowed out by the fat man, and it was covered with a layer of soil and grass, which looked extremely smooth, But I didn't expect that the bottom was full of pits, before retreating, the fat man took out the tricks of the Songhu battlefield to deal with the little devil tanks, and ordered his brothers to dig all the pits, the strength of the people is great, thousands of brothers went into battle, and after a while, they did a good job of the big pit, and laid the mud camouflage on it, and waited for those enemy tanks to come.
The tank soldiers in the tank hurriedly used the radio intercom to call the commander Li in the back, and the commander Li had no choice, where had he seen this kind of formation, so he had to order the tank soldiers to climb out of the tank quickly and save their lives, don't care about the tanks that fell into the pit, escape and talk about it When these tank soldiers trembled and climbed out of the tank, they were all dumbfounded, and suddenly a large number of soldiers of the New Fourth Army rushed over to the opposite position, shouting and killing them with all kinds of weapons.
The old tank soldier who rushed down the Songhu battlefield rushed into the pit with his brothers, captured all those tank soldiers, looked at these new American-made tanks in the pit, and was overjoyed, now it's okay, we have been an infantry for eight years, and we have almost forgotten the ability to operate tanks, and now if we can pull these tanks out, wouldn't it be possible for us to use the New Fourth Army to form the first tank team in the New Fourth Army, A face-to-face battle with the attacking Kuomintang tank units When Commander Li saw that all the tanks in front had fallen into the pit of the New Fourth Army, he was shocked and hurriedly ordered the tanks and armored vehicles behind to retreat, and at the same time reported to the commander of the 18th Division Qian in the back by radio, asking for artillery fire to cover the blocking position As soon as Lao Qian heard that half of the tanks of the armored regiment had all fallen into the big pit in front of the position of the New Fourth Army, he hurriedly scolded this regiment commander Li: "The rice bucket is not enough to succeed and the guy who has more than enough to lose, rush up to Lao Tzu and grab back those tanks."
How could Regiment Commander Li have the heart to risk snatching those tanks trapped in the pit at this moment, so he had to order the remaining tanks and armored vehicles to bombard the big pit in front of the position with artillery fire The explosive shells of the tank guns and the large-caliber howitzer shells of the 18th Division Artillery Regiment fell from the sky and smashed into the pit, blowing up smoke and flames that soared into the sky, and several of Lao Cheng's brothers were killed by the shells on the spot, Lao Cheng saw that the enemy didn't even care about the lives of his tank soldiers, and even brazenly fired at the tanks in the pit, and immediately shouted at his brothers at the top of his throat: "Retreat, the enemy has opened fire" The shells roared and exploded in the pit, Lao Cheng's brothers quickly retreated to the blocking position, and hid in the anti-artillery holes dug in advance, and there were a few tank prisoners of the 18th Division who were running slowly behind them were killed by the shells from their own team, and their bodies were blown apart and scattered, and those prisoners who did not die saw that their companions died tragically under their own shells, and immediately shouted, cursing Qian for having no conscience and lack of morality, and even his own soldiers were going to be blown up, It's really blind to follow this guy to work hard.
The enemy's artillery fire finally stopped firing, and the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, Qian ordered Commander Li of this armored regiment to be taken down, removed from his post on the spot, and sent to Nanjing to wait for the investigation and handling of the Military Justice Department.
How can there be regret medicine to buy in the world, before Commander Li could plead a few words, Commander Qian impatiently waved his hand to let Commander Li go down, Lao Qian was angry, his armored regiment would be defeated in the position of the New Fourth Army in front, and he fell into it, if this is spread out, he must not be scolded to death by the chairman of the committee This attack on the Jiangbei base area, although he is the commander-in-chief, nominally has the command of all the teams under the command of the Xuzhou Bandit Suppression Headquarters, but he Lao Qian understands very well in his heart, Except for his eighteenth division here, the rest of the teams are watching the fire from the other side, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, shouting more lively than anyone else, but the damn just refuses to move the real thing, those bastards have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts: Anyway, your eighteenth division is awesome and coaxing, why do we need our miscellaneous teams to help Lao Qian was anxious, and hurriedly ordered the staff officers around him to take out the combat map, took a look at the map, smashed the map with his gloved fist, and shouted at the officers under him: "All departments listen to the order to attack and advance, and attack Huai'an City at noon tomorrow, that team can't complete the combat mission, don't come back to see me, cut it off yourself."
Lao Qian is really anxious, in the current enemy situation is not clear, the main position of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army has not yet been determined, he dared to show all the belongings of his 18th Division, not even the reserves, all of them went into battle, along the Siyang line to the east and pushed over, that formation, if it was changed to an ordinary opponent, it must have been frightened There are armored vehicles and tanks in front of the road, and a large number of well-equipped and well-trained infantry of the 18th Division in the back, in the vast plain west of Huai'an, to block these attacking 18th Division teams, It's really very difficult.
In addition to the guerrilla warfare tactics used by the New Fourth Army, Zhou Wu also had far inferior experience in positional warfare, thinking that on the Songhu battlefield, the independent brigade of the 79th Army faced a large number of Japanese troops who landed on the Yangtze River, relying on Luodian and other important places, and fought with the fierce and brutal Japanese army for three months.
This is indeed the misfortune of our great Japanese Empire. ” Compared with the Japanese devils who rushed to land in Shanghai, the 18th Division really has nothing to praise except for the fact that its weapons and equipment and training intensity are much better than them, especially the fighting will and endurance of the soldiers below, which cannot be compared with the little devils at all, so this time they thought that they had the most advanced American-style weapons and could defeat the Jiangbei New Fourth Army's mud-legged buns, so they rushed up desperately and tried to catch up with the main force of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army and encircle and annihilate it.
The fat man ordered the forward blocking positions to block layer by layer, alternately covering each other and retreating, and Qian someone, who occupied the blocking position, was triumphant, so he ordered the 18th Division to rush up, capture Zhou Wu alive, and completely annihilate the main force of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei on the shore of Hongze Lake The news of the smooth advance of the 18th Division on the front line of Siyang and Huai'an was reported to Nanjing by Qian as a great victory, and Lao Jiang was very happy, and ordered the team in the direction of Nanjing, Yangzhou and Taizhou to advance north and south with the team of the Xuzhou Bandit Suppression Headquarters, and encircle the Jiangbei New Fourth Army on the front line of Hongze Lake in Huai'an t1706231537:
