"Rumble..."
The tank brigade of nearly forty tanks and armored vehicles rushed towards Jinzhong rapidly, and the huge roar could be clearly heard several kilometers away.
The captain was sitting in the cabin of a tank, and from time to time he stuck his head out of the hatch to take a look around!
Everything was dark and didn't look dangerous at all.
Besides, the chariot brigade marches so fast that it can still charge forward quickly even if it leaves the road.
Even if he ran into the Eighth Route Army's pocket formation, he could turn defeat into victory and kill the ambushers.
If that doesn't work, with the chariot's rough skin and thick flesh, strong assault capability, and fast assault speed, it's still no problem to break out of the pocket formation.
With this idea in mind, the captain was not vigilant during the entire march.
"Report to the commander..."
The tank radio suddenly heard a report from his subordinates.
"There is a trap on the road ahead... The leading chariot has fallen into the trap, should we stop and rescue it?"
The captain frowned, but he didn't take this matter too seriously and directly ordered: "The troops bypass the trap and continue to move forward..."
"The Eighth Route Army wanted to use this method to prevent us from reinforcing Jinzhong. The troops fell into the trap when they stopped..."
"Keep the speed and keep moving forward. We will win if we destroy the Eighth Route Army attacking Jinzhong..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Before the captain finished speaking, several gunshots suddenly sounded on the right side of the road, and violent explosions sounded in front of and behind him.
Through the observation port, the battalion leader clearly saw an armored vehicle being blown to pieces in the flames.
I was shocked and quickly ordered: "Baga..."
"The Eighth Route Army deployed mountain artillery and infantry artillery on our right side..."
"All tanks will leave the road immediately, move forward from the left side of the road, bypass the trap, and leave here quickly..."
At the same time, he yelled at the tank driver beside him: "What are you doing here? Are you being used as a target for the Eighth Route Army artillery?"
"Quickly move out of here, it will be too late if you don't leave..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The second round of artillery fire soon sounded on the right side of the road. Several explosions were heard on the road at the same time, as well as the sound of artillery shells exploding. The captain knew without thinking that another tank had been hit by artillery shells, and he felt even more anxious. .
He shouted an order into the car radio: "Retreat quickly..."
"All tanks retreated while counterattacking..."
"Find the Eighth Route Army artillery position and blow it up for me..."
The tank gunner sitting next to the group immediately turned the turret and aimed it at the right side of the road.
Search for targets while stuffing shells into the barrel, and adjust the firing angle of the barrel.
"boom……"
The sound of artillery soon rang in the captain's ears, and a puff of smoke rose from the cabin at the same time.
Although the captain had long been familiar with this feeling, he still felt uncomfortable being choked.
He quickly asked the gunner: "Did you hit it?"
The gunner replied helplessly: "The tank has been moving, the tank gun's hit rate has dropped significantly, and the first shell did not hit the target."
"Keep firing..." The captain was very dissatisfied with the result and ordered with suppressed anger.
"Even if we can't blow up the opponent's artillery positions, we still have to harass them so that they can't continue to attack us unscrupulously."
"The tanks cannot stop and continue to retreat and transfer, otherwise they will become a living target of the Eighth Route Army..."
Excluding the tanks and armored vehicles that had been destroyed by artillery, there were only 32 vehicles left on the battlefield that were still moving.
Like frightened rabbits, each of them quickly drove off the road, turned, bypassed the trap and continued towards Jinzhong, leaving this dangerous battlefield.
"boom……"
Before the tank gun could fire the second shell, a dull explosion suddenly sounded from the track of the tank, and the fast-moving tank stopped instantly.
No matter how hard the tank driver pumped the gas, he couldn't move forward.
He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and quickly reported: "Sir..."
"Our tracks were blown off and the tank can't move..."
"Bang bang..."
Several banging sounds suddenly sounded outside the tank, and the gunner's face suddenly changed, and he cried out: "Baga..."
"There's someone outside the tank..."
The captain also heard it and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and lock the hatch. Don't let the enemy in..."
The gunner quickly stood up and went to lock the door, but before he could touch the hatch, the hatch was opened a crack, and a black machine gun barrel stuck out at the same time, firing at the gunner.
"Da da da……"
The sound of strafing suddenly sounded, and all five bullets penetrated the gunner's chest, killing him instantly.
The barrel of the gun tilted, and the bullets fired immediately flew towards the tank driver...
In less than ten seconds, all four Japs in the cabin, including the captain, were killed.
"Captain... we succeeded..." Assault Company Commander Duan Peng personally took down a tank and said excitedly when he ran in front of Huang Yu.
Huang Yu nodded: "The battle went smoother than expected..."
Looking at the more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles on the left side of the road that had not been destroyed by artillery shells, he said expectantly: "With these tanks and armored vehicles, the pressure on us to raid Taiyuan will definitely be much less."
"Let the troops speed up the battle rhythm..."
"Use the fastest speed to destroy the remaining enemies...not even a little devil can be spared."
"The armored battalion is ready to take over the spoils..."
"Select all the tanks and armored vehicles that can be used immediately and follow me to raid the Japanese Taiyuan Airport."
"Chariots that are temporarily unusable but can be repaired will be repaired immediately..."
"If one more tank participates in the next raid, the casualties of the troops will be reduced..."
"Operator..."
"Contact Commander Li immediately... Are the two battalions I asked him to transfer to Taiyuan Airport in place?"
"We have captured the Japanese tank brigade..."
"The Japanese army is expected to raid Taiyuan Airport in one hour!"
"The airport is too large and requires the cooperation of infantry to wipe out all the defenders..."
…………
In a bush three kilometers southeast of Taiyuan Airport, two battalions of more than a thousand Eighth Route Army troops were quietly ambushing here.
Li Yunlong is also among them,
He is a person who loves to join in the fun, and a battle as big as the raid on Taiyuan Airport will definitely involve him.
At this moment he was observing the airport with a telescope.
The lights were brightly lit there, and patrolling little devils could be seen everywhere.
There are more than ten wooden watchtowers surrounding the machine guns. Each watchtower is equipped with a machine gun to shoot down all enemies who want to get close to the airport.
On the tarmac, more than thirty aircraft of various types were placed there.
Maybe it was because it was almost dawn, and a plane was about to carry out a bombing mission. More than a hundred little Japanese ground crews were busy surrounding the plane.
Someone replenished the plane with fuel, and someone replenished the plane with ammunition... in an orderly manner...
Li Yunlong was amazed when he saw it.
The airport garrison is extremely well-defended. If there are no tanks to assist, and only a group of light infantry equipped with mortars can attack the airport, neither regiment may be able to capture it.
