Of course, the commander of the tank battalion is not Tang Haoer, but Li Changshun behind Tang Haoer.
Xie Tian looked at Qin Fen and Wu Wenhua and said: "This guy is good at driving tanks and has a flexible mind for fighting. For the time being, let him lead the tank battalion. We will first assign two companies from your first and second battalions to him to form this armored infantry Battalion, from now on their armored infantry battalion will be the sharp knife of our regiment, and all the tough tasks will be left to them."
Not only was the tank not recovered, but a company was also required to join. Boss Wu Wenhua was not happy.
It was better for Qin Fen to simply smile and say to Li Changshun: "Captain Li, I lent it to you first from the Third Company of the First Battalion. You came from the Third Company and are familiar with them. There is no need to get used to it."
Li Changshun saluted: "Thank you, Battalion Commander Qin."
Qin Fen smiled and said: "It's all the commander's orders, there's no need to say thank you."
Xie Tian said: "This guy is just a temporary replacement for the tank battalion. When a suitable candidate is found, this guy will have to get back to the mobile platoon."
Who in the independent regiment doesn't know that the mobile platoon is Xie Tian's favorite. As the team expands, anyone picked from the mobile platoon can become the platoon leader and company commander. Isn't Li Changshun temporarily acting as the commander of the tank battalion?
Entering the room he had temporarily borrowed from a fellow villager, Qin Fen asked Xie Tian to sit down and asked impatiently: "Captain, how are we going to fight this battle?"
Xie Tian looked at Qin Fen and asked, "Have any Japanese who came back from Dagu Town entered Zhangzhuang?"
Qin Fen replied: "There were more than a dozen people who ran back, and they were all held down by the soldiers. There were three roadblocks on the road. There must be no Japanese who came back from Dagu Town and sneaked into Zhangzhuang."
Xie Tian smiled: "That would be easy, let the soldiers pretend to be devils and walk in."
We have fought several battles with the Japs, and now the Independent Regiment has many Japs uniforms, all brand new. It is not easy to dress up as a Japs. As long as you don't speak, it will be fine. But when it comes to having to speak, it will be at the point of a gun. .
At this time, the uncle of the family who rented the house came in with a basketful of vegetable dumplings to greet everyone to eat. This was the best thing he could bring out to greet the distinguished guests.
Xie Tian didn't show up. He picked up a vegetable dumpling and took a bite. He looked at the uncle and said, "Uncle, we are going to fight the Japanese here. I'm afraid it will take a while. If you have any relatives or friends, go and seek refuge first." When we come back after the war, if you really have no place to go, you can go to Dagu Town and tell the folks in the town that you are my friend, and they will take you in for a while."
Xie Tian is confident about this, and the people of Dagu Town will definitely give him some face.
The uncle looked at Xie Tian cautiously and said: "I'm an old man. It doesn't matter whether I hide or not. I'll be here to watch you fight the Japanese and kill these sons of bitches. If the boss doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to give it to you." You lead the horse and ride it down."
Nianziying is too close to Zhangzhuang, and it has been harmed by Zhangzhuang's Japs in recent years. Now there are only seven or eight households in the entire village of forty or so, and the rest are trying to escape.
This uncle's daughter-in-law was hanged to death by the Japs, his son died after playing with the Japs with a hoe, and his wife died after hitting her head with the Japs. He is the only old man left alive, and he is still here, just to see with his own eyes Look how these devils died.
Last night, Xie Tian led people to conduct a sneak attack on Zhangzhuang. The uncle and the villagers sat on the roof and watched and discussed for half a night. After dawn, they went closer to Zhangzhuang to see and saw the Japanese train being bombed and the artillery tower being carried away. The uncle was so excited that he ran all the way back to the village to tell the villagers the good news.
Everyone in the village was speculating on who had beaten the Japs, but in the evening the Japs-fighting team came to their village. Only then did they know that it was Xie Baoqing from Dagu Town who beat the Japs.
Xie Baoqing is well-known. In the past, when people mentioned Xie Baoqing, they would sneer at him.
And now there is no one in the dozens of miles around who knows what Xie Baoqing has done who doesn't give Xie Baoqing a thumbs up.
Tough, calm, and bodhisattva-hearted.
This uncle wants to follow Xie Baoqing, but he doesn't know if Xie Baoqing wants someone this old in his team.
After being a coward all his life, before he died, he straightened up and avenged his wife and children.
Anyway, it was said out loud. Let’s see what Xie Baoqing says.
Xie Tian didn't expect that the uncle in front of him would ask to serve as a soldier. He put down the vegetable dumplings for a moment and walked to the uncle. He took the uncle's hand and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, it seems that you have suffered a lot of grievances over the years. Beat me. It is better for us young people to deal with the Japs. I, Xie Baoqing, swear to you here that no matter how wronged you have been in the past, I, Xie Baoqing, will help you get it back today."
The uncle held Xie Tian's hand, shook it vigorously, and said, "Just wait, I'll get you something."
As he spoke, the uncle turned and went out to the woodshed. Xie Tian sighed, shook his head slightly, glanced at his watch, looked at the three battalion commanders and ordered with a straight face: "Get ready to go, take Zhangzhuang before dark."
The three of them saluted and responded loudly: "Yes."
At this time, the uncle came back from the woodshed with a basket of grass on his back. He walked up to Xie Tian and put down the basket. He scraped the grass inside to the ground to reveal the contents of the basket. He asked Xie Tian, "I don't know if you can fight the Japanese with this thing." It can’t be used, I got it back from the Japanese train you blew up in the middle of the night last night.”
"Radio station?"
Xie Tian squatted down in surprise and took out the Type 94 military radio from the basket, put it on the table and opened it. He smiled at the uncle and said: "This thing is a treasure for us soldiers fighting in the war, but uncle, you will never do it again in the future." We can’t do such risky things anymore.”
You have to go through minefields when you touch the Japs railway, and even if the military train was bombed last night, there will definitely be many Japs guarding it all night long. Xie Tian can imagine how much risk this uncle took to get this radio station back.
In fact, this radio station is of no use to Xie Tian now. How can I use it if I only have one? Who should I contact him with? Is it with the Japanese?
Moreover, the Type 94 radio that the uncle brought back has only one transmitter and no hand-operated generator for power supply. This thing is just a decoration.
But Xie Tian had to make this uncle feel that he had contributed to the anti-Japanese war, so he acted like he was surprised now.
Hearing Xie Tian say it was useful, the uncle smiled honestly and knelt down, took out the pipe and pot to fill the cigarettes: "As long as you can use it, you can keep it to fight the Japanese."
Xie Tian knelt down and helped the uncle light the pipe and pot, patted his arm and said, "I'm going to go then. Please take care of yourself and be patient. We can beat the Japanese away in at most two years."
The uncle nodded towards Xie Tian: "I believe in you. When you need someone, just say hello, and dozens of people from my village can go."
Whether it is a true letter or a false letter, there is always hope.
Xie Tian nodded cautiously and ordered to Tiedan: "Put the radio away, let's go."
Outside the yard, the soldiers were ready to go. All the soldiers of the armored infantry battalion put on Japanese military uniforms over their military uniforms. They wore steel helmets and carried 38-year-old hats in a stylish manner. No one could tell that they were a group of People's Liberation Army soldiers. warrior.
Xie Tian jumped on the tank, waved his hand at the soldiers and gave the order: "Get in."
The soldiers of the two companies were divided into six trucks, and four tanks opened the way in front, heading towards the Zhangzhuang stronghold in a mighty manner.
As the second echelon, the first and second battalions also took action, outflanking Zhangzhuang from the left and right respectively.
As the sun set slowly, Tang Haoer and Gao Meijuan also stood on the high slope in military uniforms and watched the troops disappear into the sunset. They and a platoon of soldiers carried stretchers and medical kits as the third echelon. They had to wait for the Zhangzhuang battle to start before they could set off. .
Behind them were dozens of villagers from Nianzi Camp. They had been looking forward to this day for a long, long time.
Twenty minutes later, violent gunfire was heard from the direction of Zhangzhuang, and firelight could be seen in the distance.
Tang Haoer waved his little hand and ordered to the soldiers: "Let's set off, follow quickly."
As he spoke, Tang Haoer took the lead and ran down the high slope towards Zhangzhuang, followed closely by Gao Meijuan Tiedan, one on the left and one on the right.
In fact, Gao Meijuan is the top leader of this newly formed medical team, but with Tang Haoer here, Gao Meijuan and the soldiers will naturally obey Tang Haoer's orders, not to mention Tiedan who is responsible for personal protection of Tang Haoer.
Running down the high slope, Tang Haoer found that there were many villagers following them, and asked in surprise: "What are these villagers doing here?"
"Come along and help." Tiedan said with a smile.
Haven't you seen many villagers holding weapons in their hands, hoes, shovels, and poles? The common people have been suffering from the enemy for a long time. Now they finally have the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog. How can they let it go easily?
Just like the folks in Dagu Town, the moment their house was set on fire by the Japs, they already had a life-and-death relationship with the Japs.
Rabbits will bite people when cornered, let alone humans.
Nobumura Sasaki's fires ignited the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people near Dagu Town.
I just don’t know if Shinozuka Yoshio will order Nobumura Sasaki to have a caesarean section to thank the emperor after knowing the cause and effect, but there is no need, Xie Tian has already helped him blow Nobumura Sasaki into two pieces.
Xie Tian just felt sorry for the bean chariot that didn't belong to him in the first place, just as if it was his own chariot that was blown up.
But there was no way. If he didn't destroy the bean tank first, the bean tank would pose a threat to his armored forces.
The distance of seven miles is far or short. When Tang Haoer and others ran to Zhangzhuang, they were panting and sweating profusely.
It was completely dark by now.
The gunfire coming from Zhangzhuang has become sparse, and the battle is nearing its end.
With the disguised surprise attack and the bull's heavy firepower bonus, the battle to seize Zhangzhuang was as easy as the previous battles commanded by Xie Tian. A small team of Japanese soldiers and a squadron of Imperial Army soldiers were killed by the armored infantry battalion before they could react. Something clicked.
This time Xie Tian was not merciful to the Imperial Alliance Army. You asked for this.
The gunfire continued. It was Li Changshun who led some soldiers to drive tanks and Japanese armored vehicles to clear the Japanese bunkers along the railway. The bunkers were defended from the outside. The Japanese never thought that one day they would be attacked from the railway line. On the ground, the basic organization cannot afford effective resistance. A few grenades in one round can basically destroy a bunker. Only when they encounter tenacious ones will they be given a shot.
57 shells are also very precious, okay?
