Dagu Town became famous in the battle of tanks. The soldiers of the People's Liberation Army realized the power of tanks. When four tanks were blown up by Japanese planes, countless soldiers shed tears of distress.
Now there is a tank again, and the soldiers have cheered and crowded around the tank to cheer. Li Changshun was so frightened that he hurriedly braked and slowed down.
This is no joke. If such a heavy guy lands on your foot, you can say goodbye to that foot.
After fighting so many battles, the soldiers have long realized that the little devils are not terrible. They are all children of father and mother. No one has more heads than anyone else, and a bullet can still kill them. .
The scary thing is that the little devils have weapons and equipment that are completely unequal to the Chinese army, so they can run rampant on the Chinese battlefield.
And our People's Liberation Army also has weapons and equipment similar to those of the Japs, and even better than some Japs. I'm afraid of him.
The regiment leader is so powerful, maybe one day the regiment commander can also get a Japanese plane, and then our People's Liberation Army can go sideways in northwestern Shanxi.
The soldiers surrounded the two tanks and drove them straight to the steps of the train station before stopping. The muzzle almost hit Xie Tian's nose.
Zhang Xingsheng blasted the train carrying Abe's brigade off the rails with one shot. Under the inertia, the three flatbed trucks carrying the tanks all rolled over. Naturally, the three tanks were also thrown out. Two were upside down, and one even had its turret covered. Throw away.
The surviving captain Nobumura Sasaki was too eager to make a contribution (and die) so he didn't take the time to take care of the three tanks. After Xie Tian occupied Zhangzhuang, he was too eager to dig tunnels and didn't take the time to take care of the tanks and the derailed train. The result was... By some strange combination of circumstances, these three tanks survived the Japs' air raids, and now they're at an advantage again, thank God.
It is impossible for a tank weighing more than ten tons to be turned over by manpower. Li Changshun had tried it a long time ago, and a dozen people could not push it over at all.
Li Changshun thought about it for a day and finally figured out a way. If it can't be lifted, let's dig out the soil below. If we dig out a slope, won't the tank turn over on its own?
During this time, thanks to these soldiers, these soldiers have almost become experts at digging tunnels. After the battle just now, Li Changshun and a dozen people ran over with a big shovel, and they turned over the two tanks easily, but they hadn't yet. There was still time to carefully check the damage to the tank, but since it could be driven, it wasn't a big problem.
Li Changshun stopped the tank, laughed loudly, jumped out of the driver's hatch, ran to Xie Tian, stood at attention and saluted, and shouted happily: "Commander, aren't you handsome?!"
Xie Tian said with a straight face: "Tank is very handsome, but you just missed it."
Li Changshun's smile froze instantly.
Don't hit someone in the face, don't expose someone's shortcomings, can you still have a pleasant chat?
The soldiers couldn't help but burst into laughter. Qin Fen and Wu Wenhua laughed and punched Li Changshun each.
I'll leave you speechless and deflated.
Xie Tian looked at Li Changshun and said with a smile: "Looking at your virtue, didn't Abe's brigade bring three tanks? Which one?"
Li Changshun pursed his lips and said: "The turret has fallen off, how can I fix it? It's useless."
"Bullshit, the turret can be repaired even if it falls off. It will be brought back tomorrow. Once the tank battalion is repaired, it will be reorganized. If it cannot be repaired, the tank battalion will be reduced into a tank company."
Li Changshun excitedly shouted to the soldiers who jumped off the tank: "Did you hear that? After repairing that tank, we will be a tank battalion again. Let's drag that tank back to me later."
"Yes, battalion commander."
"Damn it, I haven't appointed him yet. Who said this guy should be the battalion commander?" Xie Tian glared and cursed.
Li Changshun laughed and looked at Xie Tian with an expression that said, "Commander, please follow the military's will."
I obey, I obey your sister.
Xie Tian raised his foot to kick Li Changshun, but ended up grinning from pain.
Gao Meijuan glared at Xie Tian and shouted: "No big moves are allowed."
Your butt is swollen like that and you still want to kick someone, are you crazy?
At the underground headquarters, Xie Tian convened a meeting with cadres above the company level.
Today's meeting is not just a battle summary meeting. The occupation of Zhangzhuang is of great significance. Xie Tian needs to adjust his deployment strategically and tactically.
Xie Tian was very satisfied with today's results. Two non-full brigades of the Japanese and puppets were completely wiped out. There were only five serious injuries and a dozen minor injuries to the People's Liberation Army soldiers, almost zero battle losses.
Although they had the advantage of attacking in the tunnels by surprise, accidents would always happen. Who would have thought that a Japanese soldier squatting in a pit and defecating in a pit would seriously injure several soldiers with a grenade.
After being treated by Gao Meijuan and the soldiers of the medical team, Xie Tian arranged for the lightly wounded to be sent by truck to Dagu Town for treatment. Now that Dagu Town is the rear of the People's Liberation Army, Xie Tian finally has some strategic depth.
But it can only be limited to this for the time being, otherwise it will have to compete with Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei for territory.
Xie Tian never thought of getting into trouble with any of them. In the face of a powerful enemy, it was a big taboo for brothers to fight against each other. He had to unite to defeat the Japanese soldiers first.
The Japanese still have a lot of territory in their hands. There are Shanyin, Qizhou, Datong, and Zhangjiakou in the north, Taiyuan and several other counties and cities in the south, and the vast North China Plain in the east. These places are all occupied areas, and they want to grab a lot of territory. But take a longer view. A distance of more than 60 miles between two towns is nothing.
"Have all the scouts been sent out?" Xie Tian looked at Qin Fen.
Since Nao, a sophomore in high school, has not come back, Xie Tian needs to know the movements of Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong.
"The troops have been sent out. I told the soldiers to stay away. I also arranged for a squad of soldiers to pull the telephone line to Dagu Town. I estimate that we will be able to get through to Dagu Town by tomorrow."
Xie Tian nodded: "Well done, now we will start building our intelligence network. We will arrange some intelligence agents in Taiyuan, Shanyin, Qizhou and other places. You are very thoughtful, so I will leave it to you to take charge of this work." "
Qin Fen hummed and wrote it down in his notebook, looked up at Xie Tian and said, "I have no experience in this. Please take the time to explain it to me in detail later."
Xie Tian nodded and was about to continue other topics when a soldier ran in and reported: "Report, the artillery platoon leader Zhang Xingsheng is back. Li Yunlong, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, personally sent him back."
"Li Yunlong sent him back?" Xie Tian raised his eyebrows slightly and said after thinking for a moment: "You take them to the big stronghold to find a place to rest first, I will be there right away."
In a relatively clean room in the main stronghold, Zhang Xingsheng greeted Li Yunlong, who had sent him back, to eat: "Captain Li, eat some donkey meat. You're welcome. The brothers said this was stewed in advance by the little Japs for us."
Li Yunlong at the door turned around and hummed. When he came in from outside Zhangzhuang, he knew that a battle had just happened here. The corpses of the Japanese and puppet soldiers were still scattered everywhere, and the corpses of the Japanese and puppet soldiers had not been dealt with. Moreover, according to visual inspection, at least several hundred Japanese were killed. The scale of the battle is not small.
