"Baga, stop shooting, stop shooting!"
The tank commander screamed at his men to stop firing.
All the machine guns stopped spitting fire, the gunfire was silent, and only the sound of the wind was left on the scene.
Oh no, this time it's a little different, there are also the screams of wounded Japanese soldiers.
Although the third tank was overturned, there was a lucky man who was not killed by the shock and was still screaming for help inside the tank.
The tank commander ordered people to get out the wounded soldier. After seeing the miserable condition of the wounded soldier, everyone no longer attached the word "lucky" to the wounded Japanese soldier.
His eyes were bleeding, his ears were bleeding, and both his eyes and ears were severely injured.
In this case, even if he is rescued, he will be nothing more than a useless person. .
The tank commander originally planned to take this man with him, but his screams continued, which greatly affected the morale of the troops.
After all, three tanks were destroyed, but not even a ghost of the enemy was found. This weird and terrifying scene has shocked the military's morale.
At this time, there were still people who kept screaming, which was like a reminder.
Therefore, the tank commander was very "humane" and "sent" him back to his hometown.
"Colonel, what should we do now? Should we contact the headquarters?" This time, the adjutant spoke again.
Three tanks were damaged and no trace of the enemy was found.
On the unknown road ahead, no one can guarantee that there will not be another explosion.
"What are you doing by contacting the headquarters? Telling the general that we didn't even find a single hair of the enemy, and then we were scared back?" The tank commander's tone was very unpleasant. "What if three divisions were killed because of our retreat?" The emperor's soldiers have their escape route cut off, do you think we can shoulder this responsibility?"
"Colonel, if we send people to conduct reconnaissance along the way, it will greatly delay the time of reinforcements." The adjutant said.
We are still more than 80 miles away from the two bridges. We rely on people to conduct reconnaissance. By the time we get to the two bridges, Tubal Road will have already occupied the two bridges.
"Let's take a detour." The tank commander quickly made a new decision, "He can't have all the roads leading to the two bridges buried with bombs on Tubal Road."
Just like that, the remaining nine tanks immediately took a detour.
But the result is still no suspense.
They had driven less than five miles.
boom!
There was another flash in the dark night, and under the flash, the last medium tank was destroyed.
And this medium tank is the tank commander's tank.
Of course, the tank commander is fine.
This is not to say that he was not killed, but that he was not in the medium tank when it exploded.
Three explosions in front destroyed three medium tanks, which made him realize that the enemy was mainly targeting medium tanks.
His medium tank was the last one. If it exploded again, he would definitely die for the emperor... Therefore, before setting off, he deliberately changed to a light tank.
Unfortunately, his adjutant was not so lucky and became one of the victims.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
Under the flares, the machine guns of the remaining eight light tanks roared in all directions again.
The fear of the Japanese soldiers did not diminish as the bullets were fired, but became more intense.
The machine gunners kept pulling the triggers while shouting into the darkness: "Damn Chinese people, come out, come out!"
The darkness in all directions remained the same as before. The darkness swallowed up the bullets fired by the machine guns. There was no response and no trace of the enemy appeared.
When the tank commander saw this, he did not order to stop firing.
The surroundings were too quiet, and the whistling wind sounded like the ghostly or sinister wind that Chinese people call it.
The rattling of machine gun fire actually gave people a kind of psychological comfort.
At least, we are not just waiting to be killed. We still have weapons in our hands, and we can still fight back, although this kind of counterattack is in vain.
I don’t know how long it took, but the machine gun fire stopped.
The surroundings became silent again, leaving only the whistling of the wind.
Although the tank commander was extremely reluctant, he began to feel afraid.
He told the radio soldiers: "Immediately send a message to the headquarters, tell them our current situation, and ask if we will continue to carry out the orders of the headquarters."
"Ha Yi." The radio soldier immediately generated electricity.
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
Because he was worried about the safety of the three divisions, Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't sleep at all.
He stayed at the headquarters and waited for good news about the mechanized troops.
"General, a call from the mechanized troops." A staff officer handed the newly arrived telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"So fast?" Yoshio Shinozuka was a little surprised. Could it be that mechanized troops successfully occupied the two bridges.
After receiving the telegram and reading it, Yoshio Shinozuka paused.
The mechanized troops encountered bombs. All four medium tanks in the convoy were blown over, and all the tank crews inside were killed.
The tank commander was unsure whether there were still bombs on the road ahead. The convoy stopped temporarily and asked Yoshio Shinozuka for instructions whether to continue the reinforcement operation.
"Baga, damn it, damn it, damn it!" Yoshio Shinozuka slammed the telegram on the table and cursed: "This must be the strategist of the 18th Group Army who is causing trouble. He predicted in advance that I would Mechanized troops were sent for reinforcements, so bombs were planted in advance.”
"General, shall we withdraw the remaining eight tanks?" the staff officer asked in a low voice.
"The remaining eight tanks have withdrawn. The troops of the Tubal Road regiment have occupied two bridges. What should we do if they destroy the bridge?" Yoshio Shinozuka roared.
"Yes, yes, yes..." the staff officer hesitated, "Since this is the strategist of the 18th Group Army causing trouble, then I think if there are eight tanks left and we continue to advance, it is just..."
"What is it? Are you going to die!" Yoshio Shinozuka shouted at the staff officer.
The staff officer remained silent.
Under Shinozuka Yoshio's roar, he also began to feel embarrassed.
There are eight tanks left. If they are withdrawn, wouldn't four tanks be lost in vain?
It would be bad if the troops of the Tubal Road regiment blew up two bridges and cut off the retreat of the three divisions.
But let the Eighth Route tanks continue to advance, and they were all blown up. The Eighth Route regiment would still occupy the two bridges and cut off the retreat of the three divisions.
The second option will also add eight more tanks.
After being embarrassed for a while, Yoshio Shinozuka said to the staff: "Call back to the mechanized troops and tell them to search carefully and move forward. If, if, if another one is bombed, then they will withdraw without hesitation."
Yoshio Shinozuka knew deeply that this was the strategist of the 18th Group Army who was causing trouble.
Since this person has a plan, he probably has it all.
If you continue to move the tank forward, new explosions will definitely occur.
But Shinozuka Yoshio was really unwilling to give in. This was the retreat of the three divisions. How could it be controlled by the troops of Tubal Road.
Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka wants to take the gamble.
Mentally, he was still deceiving himself.
The Chinese have a saying: A wise man will make a mistake after all his considerations.
What if, what if the strategic master of the 18th Army missed a step?
It's about the future of three divisions. When it's time to gamble, you still have to take a gamble.
"Hai." The staff officer didn't dare to say anything more and hurried away.
"Baga, damn it, Baga!" The staff officer left, and Yoshio Shinozuka hammered the table and beat his chest and feet.
He knew that one more tank would definitely be scrapped.
Those two bridges must have been captured by Tubal Road troops.
The retreat of the three divisions may not be guaranteed.
…
"Colonel, the headquarters has called back." The radio soldier handed the newly translated telegram to the tank commander.
The tank commander took it and looked at it, and felt relieved very quickly.
The headquarters said that as long as one more tank is damaged, it will be withdrawn immediately.
For the tank commander, another tank would definitely be damaged, but at least the headquarters did not let him insist on reinforcements to the end.
If you lose another tank, you can go back.
The tank commander quickly allowed the convoy to continue its journey. Of course, in order to reduce losses, he moved all the soldiers out of the tank at the head, leaving only the driver inside.
By then, if there is an explosion, fewer people will die.
The tank driver realized the fate he was about to face, but he had no room or opportunity to resist, so he had no choice but to drive.
Sure enough, the explosion happened again!
boom!
In the darkness, the light tank at the head was bombed and disabled. Gucha
The tank driver inside also died suddenly.
This time, there were no flares or machine gun fire.
The tank commander gave a decisive order: "Retreat!"
The seven light tanks turned around and retreated without hesitation.
But what they didn't expect at all, and what Yoshio Shinozuka didn't expect either.
How could Wu Ze give them the slightest chance of survival if he took action?
Now that you're here, stay here and don't even think about going back.
When the seven tanks came, they passed through a long and narrow winding road. There was no movement on this long and narrow winding road.
Now the seven tanks were eager to get home, and the speed was so fast that the reconnaissance was naturally sloppy.
When seven tanks drove onto this long, winding road, their lights made them living targets in the dark.
An ambush lay on the side of the long, winding road.
These ambushes were either carrying explosives or cluster grenades.
When the seven tanks arrived at the designated position, these explosivesmen pulled the string without hesitation, jumped up, and threw explosive packets or bundles of cluster grenades at the seven light tanks.
"idiot!"
"idiot!"
"idiot!"
…
Faced with this sudden attack, the Japanese driver on the tank yelled at Baga in fright and hurriedly tried to turn.
The machine gunner on the tank was also busy preparing to shoot.
But everything happened too fast. The enemy, covered by darkness, suddenly sprang out from the roadside, followed by ignited explosive packets and cluster grenades. The Japanese soldiers did not have enough time to react.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
With huge explosions, all seven light tanks were hit.
Some were blown over, some had their tracks broken, some were blown into scrap metal, etc.
The tank commander, he was not killed or injured.
He held the command knife in his left hand and the Southern Fourteenth Style in his right hand. He had just emerged from the tank.
A cold bayonet stabbed from behind, stabbing him to the core.
After getting rid of the tank commander, the Eighth Route Army soldiers of the Second Regiment took the time to clean up all the remaining Japanese soldiers.
Then the engineers began to work, removing as many parts as possible that could be dismantled, and turning the parts that could not be dismantled into scrap iron fragments and taking them back to re-smelt iron.
Fortunately, two tanks only had their tracks broken, and there was no other damage.
The engineers quickly removed the tracks from other tanks and replaced them. Someone from the new brigade also knew how to drive a tank and drove the tank away directly.
Here, some people may question it. I accept that there are engineers on Tubal Road to replace the tracks, but you can also drive a tank. This is a bit nonsense.
No, after Wu Ze returned to logistics, he specifically suggested that the headquarters search for talents in this field, and he found them.
This time, Lao Li was specially asked to bring them out, and Wu Ze planned to pack up two Iron Bastards and go back.
…
"Brigadier! Brigadier! Brigadier!"
Li Yunlong was still sleeping when he was awakened by Yang Dali's excited voice.
"Dali, did you kill the pig? You screamed so loudly!" Li Yunlong scolded Yang Dali.
"Brigadier, the Second Regiment Commander's men have brought back two Iron Kings..." Yang Dali didn't finish his words.
Li Yunlong jumped up like a carp: "Really, are you really going to bring back two Iron Bastards?"
Although, when we arrived, according to Wu Ze's plan, our New First Brigade still had a good chance of getting the Iron Bastard.
But Lao Li still didn't have high hopes. The little devil's iron bastard was not easy to capture.
And now, have the little devil's iron bastards been really captured? Two more? ! !
"Yes, brigade commander, the second regiment commander is guarding the Iron Bastard and not letting my people touch him." Yang Dali spitted happily.
Although this was not captured by him, it still belongs to the glory of the new brigade.
Looking at the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army, no one has the Iron Bastard, no one does.
Our new brigade is the first to have this thing, and there are only two of them. This is face, this is honor!
"Hahahaha, let's have a look, let's have a look..." Li Yunlong laughed loudly, he was so happy that he didn't even bother to put on his clothes and shoes, and just ran over.
"Brigadier, your shoes, your pants..." Yang Dali grabbed Li Yunlong's shoes and pants and chased after him.
There was a lot of noise when the two Iron Kings came back, and most of the soldiers in the New First Brigade were basically disturbed.
Although it was night and the visibility was not good, they still crowded towards Iron Bastard.
After all, in the dark, Iron Bastard's headlights are very bright.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the brigade commander is coming, the brigade commander is coming." Yang Dali helped Li Yunlong push away the crowd.
Seeing Li Yunlong coming over, the commander of the second regiment was very proud: "Hahaha, brigade commander, look, my people are back after fixing two baby bumps for you."
"Second Regiment Commander, look at your little boy's potential." Li Yunlong kicked him over, "Aren't they just two Iron Bastards? If you are capable, you can get all the Japanese tanks back to me!"
Of course, Lao Li always kicked people and scolded them, but his tone was full of bee shit.
Iron Bastard, good stuff, such a treasure, hahahaha.
Li Yunlong touched the cold shell of the Iron Bastard and smiled broadly: "It's good now. Our new brigade will also have tanks in the future, and we will be invulnerable."
"Brigadier, your pants and your shoes." Yang Dali was also very happy and handed Li Yunlong his pants and shoes.
"It's not cold, we're not cold at all." Li Yunlong waved his hands and said to the second regiment leader: "Drive the Iron Bastard back. We must arrive before dawn."
Wu Ze specifically instructed that the Iron Bastard should be driven back immediately after being seized and could not be used directly.
First of all, this thing needs a fuel supply. Without a fuel supply, it is just scrap metal. The fuel of the Eighth Road is very limited now, and good steel must be used on the blade.
Secondly, tank operations require the coordination of infantry. The Eighth Route Army has no experience in this area and is completely blank. Wu Ze has to let the new brigade have this experience before it can put tanks on the battlefield.
"Brigade commander, don't we need to fight with it?" said the second regiment commander, "let's drive to the three Japanese divisions and beat one of them."
"You prodigal son, this is fire, it is fire, do you understand!" Li Yunlong said seriously, "Pull it back, our arsenal will use it to build more iron bastards."
"Brigadier, are you kidding me? Can our arsenal produce such a thing?" Not only the second regiment commander questioned, but also others.
"Don't underestimate our arsenal, it's definitely possible." In the past, Li Yunlong would never have thought this way, but now that Wu Ze has found a way to get the Iron Bastard back, maybe he can make it.
"Yes, brigade commander." The second regiment commander responded. Let the soldiers of the new brigade get out of the way and immediately have Iron Bastard drive away.
Strike while the iron is hot, Li Yunlong took advantage of the high morale and shouted: "Comrades, you have seen it, our new brigade also has tanks, from now on we will have whatever the little devil has!"
"Hahaha, Niubi, Niubi, Brigadier Niubi!"
"New First Brigade Niu, luckily I joined the New First Brigade!"
…
The soldiers of the new brigade have great morale.
"Okay, let's all disperse. Take the time to rest." Li Yunlong stopped when he saw that it was fine. "It's daybreak, and we still have to play with the Japanese."
Although the soldiers of the new brigade dispersed, none of them could sleep.
Although the Iron Bastard was pulled back, it was also the Iron Bastard of the new brigade, and everyone was talking about it:
"I really didn't expect that our team would actually have Iron Bastard."
"Yes, the little devils used this iron bastard in the past, but they beat us very badly. They are invulnerable."
"Yes, our people can only carry explosive bags to blow up. Many people died under Japanese machine gun fire."
"Hahaha, we also have an Iron Bastard."
"I can't sleep. I definitely can't sleep."
…
"Brigadier, take the Iron Bastard back. The division commander and the head of the headquarters will definitely come to talk to you about discipline. You have to think of a way in advance." Yang Dali reminded Li Yunlong as he helped Li Yunlong put on his pants and shoes.
In the past, when Lao Li was under the command of Brigadier Chen, Lao Li got rich, but Brigadier Chen still had some room for congratulations on getting rich.
Now that Lao Li is the brigade commander, and Lao Li has made a fortune, the division commander and the head of the headquarters will not congratulate him on getting rich, but will directly talk about the discipline of the 18th Group Army: everything captured must be handed over!
"Do you know where we asked the second regiment leader's men to pull Iron Bastard?" Li Yunlong was very calm.
"Could we go to Wu Ze's place?" Yang Dali's eyes lit up. He remembered that Lao Li said he wanted to take him to the arsenal. This would be a good idea.
Xiao Wu is a member of the New Group. If anything happens, he will definitely turn to the New Group.
Lao Li used Wu Ze to protect the two iron bastards, which was a great move.
"That's natural. Why can't we, Lao Li, keep the treasures we captured for ourselves? Hahaha." Li Yunlong laughed.
