"Rumble..." The roar of the tanks became louder and louder, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble. Everyone's nerves were tense, waiting for the order to throw.
The six tanks have already rushed to a position more than 20 meters in front of the formation, and the Japanese and puppet troops are following closely behind. If they rush forward a little further, they can attack the blocking position with grenades and grenades.
The guard company commander decisively stuck his head out of the trench and threw the Molotov cocktail in his hand with all his strength.
The other soldiers followed suit and threw all fifty Molotov cocktails out in less than two seconds.
The ignited wine bottles rolled and flew towards the tank, some hitting the side of the tank and some hitting the tank body.
The moment the glass bottle was smashed, the fuel in the bottle splashed everywhere, and a lot of fuel flowed directly into the cabin along the gaps in the car body.
The burning flames at the mouth of the bottle quickly ignited the fuel, and the fire spread quickly, and wherever there was fuel, it was engulfed in flames.
In the blink of an eye, six tank bodies were enveloped in flames.
There was only an iron sheet between the tank cabin and the fire. In a short time, the indoor temperature rose by dozens of degrees.
If the little devil who is trapped inside doesn't get out quickly, he will soon turn into a roasted suckling pig.
There were also a lot of fuel seeping into some cabins, and the fire quickly spread along the fuel to the cabin. If they didn't leave immediately, everyone would be burned to black coal.
Six tanks stopped at almost the same moment. The commander, machine gunner, tank driver, and gunner scrambled to get out of the cabin.
After throwing the Molotov cocktails, dozens of soldiers picked up machine guns and opened fire on them.
None of the two dozen tank crews were spared, and they were all beaten into pieces by the sudden rain of bullets.
The Japanese and puppet offensive troops following the tanks were blinded.
The invincible tank troops were all destroyed before they had time to grab and fire, and the tank crews were all killed.
Even the chariot troops covered in steel coats are no match for the Eighth Route Army, let alone flesh and blood like them.
For a moment, everyone fell into a panic and was in a dilemma. They didn't know whether to continue to attack forward.
"Retreat...all retreat into the tunnel to prevent the Japs from indiscriminately covering us with artillery fire." The guard company commander retreated as soon as he was ready. He ordered while putting away his gun, turned around and ran towards the entrance and exit of the tunnel not far away.
When the Japanese and puppet attacking troops reacted to the sudden surprise and planned to continue their assault, the scream of artillery shells streaking across the sky suddenly sounded above their heads.
"Rumble..."
Firelight splashed, thick smoke billowed, and more than twenty mushroom clouds of different sizes instantly rose up from the blocking position.
The dirt on the opposite side, the logs used to reinforce the trenches, the door panels... were blown everywhere, but there was not a single figure of the Eighth Route Army in sight.
The squadron leader led by the Japanese hurriedly hid behind the tank body to prevent himself from being accidentally injured.
As soon as the five-minute artillery attack ended, he pulled out his command knife with a swipe and shouted: "Continue to attack forward, the blocking position is in front, prepare grenades, kill the remaining Eighth Route Army in the blocking position, kill them all..."
More than 500 Japanese and puppet troops quickly jumped over the burning tank body, carrying various weapons and charging forward, roaring.
Two to three hundred grenades and grenades were thrown out by them at the same time, hitting the blocking position in a parabola. The explosions were heard endlessly, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke rose up again from the blocking position that was already filled with gunpowder.
Under the cover of the explosion, they continued to advance forward and rushed into the blocking position in one go.
It was deserted here, not even a shadow of the Eighth Route Army could be seen, and there were only three or four tunnel entrances and exits that had not yet been destroyed.
…………
"Bagya Road..." Major General Fujita was like an angry lion, clenching his fists and cursing loudly.
This fight was so infuriating.
Six opposing tanks were all destroyed by the Eighth Route Army as soon as they took action. Although the attacking troops took the opportunity to seize the blocking position, they did not eliminate a single Eighth Route Army.
[In view of the general environment,
In terms of the battle loss ratio, the loser in the battle just now was still himself.
After cursing for a full two minutes, he slowly calmed down, suppressing his anger and ordered: "Blow up all the tunnel entrances and exits on the position immediately to prevent the Eighth Route Army from emerging from the tunnels to attack us."
"The others continue to advance forward and must capture Taipingzhuang before dark."
"This is an isolated village. There are no mountains around it. The Eighth Route Army trapped here to stop us has nowhere to retreat and can only hide in the tunnels."
"Take down the village, destroy all the tunnel entrances and exits in the village, and suffocate them to death in the tunnels."
"If you really can't hold it back, you have to drive out of the tunnel, gather on the ground and annihilate them."
"All the remaining armored vehicles and tanks of the tank squadron have withdrawn from the battle..."
"Until we understand the methods and weapons used by the Eighth Route Army to destroy six tanks, the tank troops must not go to the battlefield to die again."
…………
As the fourth line of defense was breached by the Japanese and puppet troops, the Junping garrison headquarters was immediately moved underground.
As soon as Huang Yu spread out the battlefield terrain map drawn by his hand, the guard company commander rushed over with excitement on his face: "Captain, the Molotov cocktail you made is really powerful, just like the Molotov cocktails dropped by Japanese planes."
"Once it burns a large area, the fuel sticks to the tank body and burns. No matter how the tank moves, it will not go out."
"Six tanks were hit by at least 20 Molotov cocktails, and they were all covered in fire."
"As soon as the Japanese tank crew came out of the cabin, they were beaten into pieces by us. They couldn't die any more."
"This battle was so exciting. Six invincible tanks were blown up completely before they even came face-to-face with us. The leader of the Japs Brigade must have been so angry that he vomited blood on the spot..."
"Captain, the guard company has accumulated a wealth of experience in fighting tanks. If we encounter Japanese tanks again in the next battle, you must not forget us. We will ensure that we blow up as many tanks as the Japanese tanks send out, so that they can come without any trouble. Come back."
Huang Yu knew the power of the Molotov cocktail very well, and he had already known the result.
Wang Lin didn't know, but during the attack by the guard company, he kept worrying, fearing that the Molotov cocktails would be useless and the troops would be defeated, losing his wife and losing the troops.
After listening to the guard company commander's report, he was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground. He strode up to the guard company commander and asked, "To be more specific, how did you use Molotov cocktails to destroy six tanks of the Little Japs?"
The guard company commander hurriedly told what happened during the battle just like a storyteller. Wang Lin was surprised and surprised when he heard it.
Staring at Huang Yu, his eyes shone brightly and he said: "Captain, I really don't know how your brain grew. How come the tanks that we were all afraid of when we saw them before are just like toys in your hands, and you can just make them?" Something can blow it into scrap metal."
"We were the first to fight against the Japanese, and the first to achieve the huge result of destroying six tanks."
"I suggest that the regiment headquarters and the other two garrison regiments be informed of this battle immediately."
"This is their first time using Molotov cocktails, so they must be unsure."
"If we let them know that our Molotov cocktails killed six tanks, several regiment leaders will pay attention and seriously study the tactics of using Molotov cocktails to defeat tanks, lest they throw such a good weapon aside."
Huang Yu nodded: "Go and send a telegram..."
"After the fourth line of defense is lost, the Japs will definitely take over Taipingzhuang in one go..."
"It will be dark in less than two hours, and our real tough battle with the Kwantung Army has just begun."
"The third battalion has rested all day, and they should be waiting impatiently now. Let them finish their meal immediately, replenish their ammunition, and gather all the pistols equipped by the first and second battalions to them, especially Wei Dayong, and ask him not to hide his secrets. , I will give him as many pistols as he takes out after the war. After dark, let’s have a good fight with the Japanese Kwantung Army.”
"The First Battalion is ready for the opportunity to fight in street battles with the Japanese and puppet troops..."
"We waited for the Japanese and puppet troops to enter the village before counterattacking, gradually abandoning their positions in the village, and dragging the battle until dark."
…………
"Rumble..."
The sound of gunfire is very loud
The explosion sounded loudly above the head of the command post, and the soil on the top of the tunnel continued to fall in the explosion.
Many soldiers were feeling weak, fearing that the tunnels would be blown up.
Huang Yu's face was calm. He was writing and drawing on the map while analyzing: "Don't worry, everyone, our tunnels are supported. Unless the Japs' heavy artillery shells are focused on one point and exploded, it will be impossible to destroy the tunnels."
"Everyone, please go to your places. Keep doing what you have to do..."
"Telephone soldiers must maintain contact between the headquarters and the units at all times."
"We are fighting underground and can't see anything with our eyes. We can only understand the battle situation and mobilize troops through the phone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a telephone soldier covered the phone and reported: "Commander, Battalion Commander Deng reported that the houses in the village were basically destroyed by Japanese artillery fire."
"The Japanese army has assembled two infantry squadrons and two companies of the Imperial Japanese Army on the fourth line of defense. They may launch an attack at any time."
"The remaining six armored vehicles of the tank force have all withdrawn from the battle."
"The six tanks that were attacked have been reduced to scrap by Molotov cocktails and cannot continue to fight."
Huang Yu nodded: "Continue to keep in touch with Deng Jingye and report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation."
Five minutes later, the telephone soldier covered the phone again and reported: "Commander, the Japanese artillery bombardment has ended, and the infantry has begun to attack..."
"Captain, the Japanese and puppet offensive troops have entered the village. Battalion Commander Deng asked for instructions to open fire immediately."
"Wait a moment..." Huang Yu stared at the terrain map and said seriously.
"Captain, all the puppet troops who participated in the attack for more than 500 days have entered the village, and the forward troops have advanced to the center of the village." The telephone soldier reported again.
"Start counterattack..." Huang Yu ordered, slamming the pencil in his hand on the table.
The quiet village above immediately erupted into fierce firefights.
If conditions didn't allow it, Huang Yu would have wanted to rush forward with weapons and start a street fight with the Japanese.
"Reporting to the leader... one battalion and one company successfully annihilated the vanguard troops of the Japanese and puppet troops who first advanced into the village, and are exchanging fire with the follow-up troops of the Japanese and puppet troops." The battle situation on the surface quickly reached Huang Yu's ears through the telephone soldiers.
"Captain, the Second Company took the initiative to retreat forty meters after destroying more than thirty Japanese and puppet troops. The enemy is pursuing the victory and has already penetrated their pocket formation." Another report reached Huang Yu's ears.
"Let Deng Jingye take his time and fight. If he is afraid of being beaten by the little Japs, try to attract more Japanese and puppet troops to the village." Huang Yu suddenly interrupted to remind.
