Chapter 66: The End of the Division 6
The tank cluster kept driving the scattered Japanese troops back, and they needed these Japanese troops to bring the news to the 114th Division.
In order to create panic and undermine the morale of the Japanese army, Changshan lay on the horse's back and whipped the mount desperately.
The war horses trudged through the mud with difficulty. Fortunately, the tanks of the armored brigade could not increase their speed in the mud, and the distance between the two sides was widened.
A group of Japanese soldiers appeared on the opposite side of Changshan, still struggling to drag the artillery behind them.
When Changshan saw the 37mm anti-tank gun being dragged by the soldiers, their eyes shone brightly.
Running in front of the group of people, Changshan dismounted in a handsome manner, making the artillerymen very envious.
"Everyone! Build fortifications immediately! The Chinese tanks will be here soon!"
Changshan didn't waste any time and immediately issued the order to prepare for battle. When the Japanese soldiers heard that the Chinese had actually deployed tanks, they were still a little surprised.
But soon their faces showed excitement again. It's great that you came! It's great that you came!
Captain Changshan seemed to be pretending nothing had happened, but in fact everyone saw him fleeing on horseback just now.
Just because he was the regiment commander and the superior, the Japanese soldiers did not dare to say anything. But they saw that even the regiment commander was being chased away in a panic by the Chinese.
Now only their artillery can save the 56th Regiment and the Cavalry Battalion. At this time, some stragglers running back from the front appear on the road from time to time.
They were all intercepted by Changshan, and seven 7mm anti-tank guns were placed in the woods on both sides of the road, camouflaged with branches and leaves.
The heavy rain gradually became less frequent and visibility became much better than before. A large number of Japanese troops were regrouped after running here.
Soon, nearly 1000 Japanese soldiers gathered here. Originally, these Japanese soldiers had just suddenly encountered the armored forces.
I was so scared for a moment that I couldn't help but run along with others.
After being intercepted, they realized that their behavior was not in line with the bravery of the Locust Army.
Looking at the several anti-tank positions hidden in the woods on both sides, the Japanese soldiers seemed to see the Chinese tanks that were running over them and fleeing, burning and overturned on the roadside under the anti-tank guns of the Locust Army.
Those Chinese tank soldiers who had just been showing off their might raised their hands dejectedly. They were dragged out of the destroyed tanks by the Locust Army like dead dogs and had their milk bags chopped off.
Thinking of this, many Japanese soldiers seemed to have a collective climax in an instant, their faces flushed and their expressions extremely excited.
All these Japanese soldiers began to hide at the edge of the forest, and at the same time pushed together some logistics trucks that were stuck in the mud.
These trucks were used to temporarily block the Chinese armored forces' road, while at the same time some people were left behind to pretend to be deserters in order to attract the 78th Army's armored brigade.
As the deputy commander of the 1st Armored Brigade, Gong Feng had to coordinate the overall situation while Wang Chun, the commander-in-chief and brigade commander, could not command the front-line armored brigade's assault.
For the first time, he independently commanded nearly 100 tanks of the 1st Armored Brigade, as well as the armored grenadiers (actually mechanized infantry) riding in trucks behind him.
Because the Type 34 tanks were not very adaptable to the muddy forest roads, they were quite far away from the T76- in front of them.
In the end, Gong Feng simply ordered the Type 34 tank to cooperate with the armored grenadiers to clear out the Japanese fleeing soldiers. When the T tank was developed, marching in the muddy swamp areas of the Soviet Union in autumn and winter was taken into consideration.
Therefore, the performance of these T34 tanks in such an environment is much better than that of the German Type tank.
The muddy road was littered with corpses of Japanese soldiers and horses that had been hit by machine guns. Of course, there were also a large number of ownerless horses quietly eating leaves in the bushes at the edge of the forest.
Naturally, the grenadiers behind would take care of these war horses, which would also increase the transportation capacity of the 78th Army's logistics and supply team.
As for their armored divisions, they have no need for these war horses and pack horses. We are a mechanized armored force and do not need these things.
Xu Ren ejected his body from the T34's turret cover, holding a PPSh submachine gun in his hand, and kept firing at the fleeing Japanese soldiers at the edge of the forest.
The turret hatch of almost every T34 tank is opened. After all, the coaxial machine gun can only attack enemies in front of the tank.
When encountering enemies hiding on both sides, you can only turn the turret or the tank to turn to shoot. Although this is safe, it is too troublesome.
Therefore, the commanders of many crews leaned out and used the submachine guns they carried to kill some of the scattered fleeing Japanese soldiers.
The heavy rain had stopped without us noticing, and the dark clouds seemed to have become much thinner, with a few rays of sunlight occasionally shining through.
The vision that was originally blurred by the heavy rain became clear. As the commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, Zhang Jia raised the binoculars in his hand.
One kilometer away, on a not very wide road, I saw many baggage vehicles parked in the middle of the road, in a sloppy manner.
The road must have been blocked deliberately by the Japanese, probably to buy time for their retreat.
Of course, it is also possible that the Japanese blocked the road and set up anti-tank positions on both sides. They did not forget that a Japanese division had dozens of 37mm anti-tank guns.
"Attention all crews! There may be a blocking position set up by the Japanese ahead. Our four tanks should be lined up in a row! Those behind should pay attention to both sides of the forest to prevent the Japanese suicide squad from rushing out and blowing up the tanks!"
Zhang's voice was heard in the communication channel. Originally, the early Soviet T34 was not equipped with a radio. Only the communication command vehicle was equipped with a radio.
However, the system products are naturally fully equipped, so when they heard the battalion commander's words, all the crews became alert.
Xu Ren's 1048 crew was walking in the front. After hearing the battalion commander's order, he asked the driver to slow down a little and wait for the tank crew behind.
Soon, the first row of four T34 tanks formed a neat formation, using their frontal inclined armor to face the anti-tank positions that the Japanese might have set up in advance.
"Boom boom boom!" The four T4s in the front fired several 34mm high-explosive grenades at targets they thought were suspicious.
Continuous explosions continued to explode at the edge of the forest where the Japanese were hiding. In fact, the Japanese should feel fortunate because it had just rained and the trees were very wet.
Otherwise, once the shells ignited the surrounding trees, they would become roasted pigs.
"The Chinese tanks are approaching within 800 meters!"
The observers continuously report the observed data.
However, just when the Japanese were eagerly expecting the tanks to continue moving forward, something disappointing happened.
All the Chinese tanks actually stopped, and they kept bombarding the trucks blocking the middle of the road and the areas on both sides of the road.
With a loud "boom", a 76mm artillery shell happened to hit the box where the shells were stored in the Japanese anti-tank position.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" several boxes of 37mm armor-piercing shells, after being detonated, began to run around on the position, causing a series of explosions.
"Oh no! We are exposed! Open fire immediately to kill these Chinese on the battlefield!" Changshan saw that his side had been exposed and immediately gave the order to open fire.
On the other hand, seeing that a single shot from their own side had caused such a large-scale explosion, all crew members knew that the shell must have hit the enemy's ammunition box, causing a secondary explosion.
"There is an enemy artillery position ahead. All crews should pay attention to avoid the enemy's attack," Zhang Jia said before he finished speaking.
There was a "whoosh" sound, followed by a "bang" sound, and the T34 tank he was in began to shake. The violent vibration made several crew members feel uncomfortable!
"We were hit! Damn it, we were hit by the enemy's anti-tank guns!"
The driver Yang Xin roared loudly, and just in the bushes opposite, a flash of fire appeared, followed by a 37mm armor-piercing bullet accurately hitting their front armor.
"In the bushes on the right side ahead! There's a Japanese anti-tank gun." Observer and machine gunner Zhao Cheng immediately pulled the trigger.
A series of machine gun bullets were fired at the bushes. The light emitted by the tracer bullets mixed in the bullets appeared after Zhao Cheng slightly corrected the trajectory.
All of them hit the bushes. The machine gun bullets swept the baffle of the anti-tank gun, making a crisp sound, and also broke the branches and leaves covering it that were used to hide their whereabouts into pieces.
"Damn it! It's a ricochet! Keep reloading! Fire!"
