Chapter 212 Tank Battle 3
The Japs began to flee, but due to the three tanks blocking the way, the street was blocked and it was difficult for the punitive army's tanks to chase them.
The big machine master immediately used mind sharing to order the reserve team in the rear: "Bring three engineering vehicles and drag the Japanese tank materials back.
Fast car convoy, attack from the side, catch up with the Japanese tanks, don't let them escape! "
As soon as his order was given, four Renault tanks rushed out from the other side of the street that was not blocked.
In fact, the speed of the Renault tank is less than 10 kilometers per hour, not as fast as the running of infantry. Fortunately, this thing is small, with a body length of only 5 meters and a width of 1.74 meters. In the urban battlefield with Wall-E ruins everywhere, this thing can barely serve as a fast tank.
Four Renault tanks were lined up in a row and maneuvered at the fastest speed on the side streets. More than 4 punitive infantrymen followed the tanks on foot to provide them with cover.
At this time, the three Japanese tanks were still turning. The Japanese crew turned one track while keeping the other track still in order to complete the turn on the spot.
But this was still too slow. It took the Japanese tanks almost 90 seconds to complete a 50-degree turn. During this time, four Renault tanks had turned in from the side road.
Leading the way, a Renault tank turned out from the street corner. The gunner saw at a glance the three Type 3 big butts facing him. For some reason, Xing Jifei's BGM suddenly rang in his ears. Looking at the big butts of the Type 89, he licked his lips.
“Okay, I know who has the biggest exhaust pipe.
Drive the tanks over and make room for the brothers to move out and get a good angle to shoot. Let's shoot together and eliminate the enemy tanks in one round!"
The leading Renault tank drove forward to the opposite sidewalk, making way for the three tanks behind it to drive onto the street.
The four tanks turned 4 degrees and faced the Japanese tanks.
"Brothers, hit the tracks, but be careful not to miss or blow them up. We need to modify them when we take them back!"
The leading commander's gunner gave the order, and the four tank guns lowered their muzzles and aimed at the tracks of the Type 89d tank.
After four loud bangs, three Japanese tanks broke down at the same time. The track on one side was blown off. The Japanese tanks that were still moving suddenly stalled and drove crookedly for a distance until the entire broken track was dragged on the ground or hit a shop on the street.
The Japanese captain had already led his infantry to the front of the tank. The moment the cannon sounded behind him, he turned around and saw that the tracks of three of his own tanks had been broken again. He was completely stunned.
At this time, his brain was thinking quickly. Without the cover of three tanks, could he and his men retreat? Or should he just stop and use the three tanks as artillery positions to occupy the nearby streets for defense? Wait for his own troops to come in and provide support?
Various countermeasures flashed quickly through his mind. Finally, he swept his eyes over the four red tanks and ruthlessly issued the order to retreat.
The three Japanese tanks didn't know they had been abandoned at this time. They were knocked around and cursing. The gunners quickly turned the gun wheels to try to attack the enemies behind them, but the human-powered turret took a long time to turn each time. In comparison, the four Renault tanks of the Punishment Army had already aimed their guns at them.
Without any orders, the four Renault tanks searched for the enemy on their own and attacked the Japanese tank turret with armor-piercing shells. After a burst of explosions, a small hole was drilled in the Japanese tank turret by the 4mm shell, and the Japanese gunner inside was killed.
Of course, there were a few armor-piercing shells that ricocheted and failed to penetrate the enemy's tank due to the shooting angle, but that didn't matter. The 37mm gun was reloaded quickly, and the Renault tank fired several more rounds, turning the enemy's tank turret into a hornet's nest, and the turret stopped turning completely.
After dealing with the Japanese tanks, the Renault tanks did not chase the Japanese infantry, as they had already run back to the defense zone of the 19th Route Army.
Li Weiguo, who had been concentrating on dispatching at the headquarters, had learned the information through mind sharing, so he sent out an armored forklift to recover the enemy tanks, and then said to the telegraph soldier: "Tell the 19th Route Army that the six tanks that invaded our defense zone have been destroyed, but the main force of the infantry has returned to your defense zone, pay attention to defense.
In addition, our tanks will stay at the border of our two defense zones. If permitted, our tanks can enter your defense zone and cooperate with you to eliminate the Japanese infantry."
At the 19th Route Army headquarters, General Cai's eyes widened when he heard the telegram. This group of Japs penetrated their positions like they were in an empty space, but how come they were defeated after only 20 minutes when they reached the Punishment Army?
He immediately sent a telegram to the troops fighting the Japanese, asking whether they could be destroyed now that the Japanese had lost their tanks.
The situation from the front was very bad. A large group of Japanese soldiers occupied the Shanghai Telegraph Office and were defending it. The Shanghai Telegraph Office was a British property, with four floors and very thick walls. More than 4 Japanese soldiers were guarding inside, making the telegraph office like a fortress.
General Cai was furious and immediately ordered: "Move two mountain cannons over to kill these dwarf mules!"
This group of Japs must be wiped out immediately. If they are allowed to gain a foothold, the Japs outside will have a greater desire to attack in order to rescue them, and with the cooperation between inside and outside, who knows what kind of corrupt situation will arise.
The two cannons were quickly put in place, and the artillerymen loaded the shells and were about to bombard the telegraph office, but at this time, the bombardment was suddenly stopped.
An officer of the General Tax Police Corps pulled the soldier who was about to fire and shouted: "Don't fire! This is British property!"
The artillerymen were bewildered. The battle had come to this point, and they still cared whose assets these were?
The officer of the Tax Police Corps explained: "Didn't you see that the Japanese shells were all blasting around this building? If you blow up this building, it will cause international disputes! The British are mediating now, and you blow up their building. Will you bear the responsibility for the failure of the mediation? Or will your General Cai bear it?"
The artillery was scared after being accused of this crime and had no choice but to report it. When General Cai heard about this shit, he got angry.
"Send the order! Bombard immediately! Go fuck the British property! I only know that this is a battlefield! Killing the devils is the top priority! Bomb! Bomb him! I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
The telegraph soldier was about to give an order when the staff officer stopped him immediately.
"Commander, don't be impulsive. Even if you don't think about your own future, you should think about your brothers. Since our brothers entered Shanghai for garrison, the military pay from the Ministry of National Defense has been cut off. If you cause trouble for that person, will he cut off our rations?"
General Cai was silent, then gnashed his teeth and said, "Do you mean to divert the trouble to the east and send the punitive troops?"
The adjutant nodded.
"Commander, the Punishment Army's courage to enter Shanghai shows that they are not afraid of trouble. This kind of thing is a big deal here, but it is really not a big deal for them. Anyway, the National Government has defined them as illegal armed forces. Do they care about international issues?"
General Cai hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Hey! I owe the Punishment Army another favor. Let's contact them."
