There was only one vehicle in the tank platoon that was withdrawn from the front, and the driver of this tank was the first to be defeated, but he didn't expect it to become the only surviving tank, and the machine gun shooter became the only remaining member of the tank platoon crew. Ｘ

At the same time, there was also the news of the failure of the attack, and the charioteers saw that their comrades were killed, and they were eager to go up immediately to take revenge, because the T26 charioteers who could not drive it during the overhaul were even more self-blaming.

"Battalion commander, this is too fast, five Iron King Eight, there is only one left." Mu Chao said

"This car is already thin, and it is not used properly, so it is strange that it can be good."

Zhang Wei saw several corpses of charioteers rushed down, burned in an inhuman shape, and did not see platoon commander Hu in it, it was estimated that the place where he died was too far away, and it was too late.

Not far away, a three-wheeled motorcycle drove up, and at first glance it was from the motorcycle search platoon, and was called by Qiu Qingquan as a signal soldier in the column headquarters, and drove vigorously in this direction.

"Someone is here, I guess they're looking for us."

The person who came was really looking for Zhang Wei, Qiu Qingquan returned to the assault column after the failure of the attack, and now he was about to convene a meeting of the commanders of the various units of the column, Zhang Wei No. 2 did not say it and got on the sidecar, the motorcycle was simply racing all the way, and it took three or four minutes to reach Qiu Qingquan's column department, Zhang Wei thought that this old Qiu's mood was estimated to be similar to that of a motorcycle.

Qiu Qingquan's column headquarters was set up behind the chariot battalion, found a concealment department, and temporarily built up camouflage nets and branches as cover, the commanders of each part had arrived, Zhang Wei saluted Qiu Qingquan, Qiu Qingquan nodded, and then briefly introduced the battle situation, after talking about the battle situation, Qiu Qingquan expressed his idea very straightforwardly to continue to organize the attack.

"Chief Li's troops failed in two attacks, their soldiers have never touched the tank, and the experience of fighting the Japanese army is also insufficient, so we have lost a platoon of tanks if we don't take it down, but the battle still has to be fought, and the enemy has to be embraced, so I decided to continue to cooperate with Chief Li and go on the offensive."

Liu Jiehui, the lieutenant colonel of the chariot battalion, said indignantly: "Sir, it's not that we are careful, how can there be such a way of playing, take one of my platoons of light chariots to attack the position, just attack it, then there are battle defense artillery in the back, and those infantry, why can't you hurry up and fall far behind." ”

Qiu Qingquan waved his hand: "I know, I am also responsible for this matter, the attack is too hasty, let you go directly, the specific garrison strength and firearm configuration are not clear, let the brothers lose their lives in vain, so the next attack, our infantry will also have to go!" After speaking, Qiu Qingquan looked at Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei had already been mentally prepared, no need for Qiu Qingquan to say, he was also ready to bring someone up.

"Sir, understood!"

"Zhang Wei, you don't have to be all on it, one company is enough, the old foundation is different, you have to find a way to let the Cantonese infantry behind rush up, you can find a way to gain a foothold on the position, and have the opportunity to attack the station, what you have to do is to work with the chariot to quickly bite the Japanese defense line and stand firm!"

"Understood, sir. I still have a few requests. ”

"You say!"

"First, I want the Soviet-style artillery chariot (referring to the T26 commonly known at the time, and at the same time also called the CV35 gun chariot) to cooperate with the attack, not light chariots, second, I want to meet with the officers of the Cantonese army who attacked with us, and third, it is best to let them prepare reserves, if we stand firm on the two defensive lines on the periphery, we can find a way to fight inside the station, and when we press all of them, we can take them in one fell swoop."

Qiu Qingquan thought for a while: "What you said is no problem, I will arrange it." After speaking, he looked at Liu Jiehui again: "Jiehui, you dispatch Soviet-style artillery chariots to cooperate with Zhang Wei, and the rest of the chariots must be on standby at any time to prepare for war, and you will personally keep an eye on it." In addition, let the mortar company of your tank battalion also send me a platoon, and assign it to Zhang Wei to attack them, and strive to take it in one fell swoop! ”

"Understood!"

At the end of the brief meeting, Zhang Wei, Liu Jiehui and others quickly returned to the unit, and when Zhang Wei conveyed the order to attack and participate in the battle, several company commanders were happy.

"The second company will follow me, and the first and third companies will stay on standby, ready to fight at any time." After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Mu Chao was quite excited, although there were many recruits in the second company, but after all, he had fought before, not to mention that there were many squad leaders, deputy squad leaders and sergeants in the army, all of whom were veterans, Mu Chao thought that his company was still competent.

"Mu Chao, you go down and ask the brothers to prepare, and there will be a mortar platoon coming over in a while, reinforced by the chariot battalion, and attacking with us."

"Yes"

Speaking of the mortar platoon, Zhang Wei remembered his former mortar platoon commander Dong Erli, there was no mortar in the preparation battalion for the time being, and this kid was first arranged to be the platoon commander in the second company.

Mu Chao gathered the second company, and a hundred people stood in three horizontal columns, with a newly reinforced mortar platoon next to him.

At this time, it is time to reprimand, after all, the upcoming battle can be regarded as the offensive battle of the second company.

Looking at these dark faces in front of them, most of these people were recruited to come here, and it was definitely not their intention to go to the battlefield. In a few moments, many people will be killed and wounded. Zhang Wei didn't know how many people would die, so he could only cheer up the soldiers as much as possible and use the best tactics to reduce casualties.

"Brothers, after a while, there will be a big battle, different from the previous battle, this time those devils on the opposite side, there are many guns, but don't be afraid, on this battlefield, the more afraid you are, the slower your movements and reactions, the easier it is for you to panic, the little devils aim at you more accurately, and you can't dodge bullets fast enough, so, keep in mind what you usually teach, listen to the command of the squad leader and veterans, and kill the group of little devils on the opposite side."

"Yes!" More than a hundred people shouted in unison.

Because he had to cooperate with the chariot, Zhang Wei called Mu Chao and the squad leader and squad deputy and platoon commanders of the second company together.

"After a while, this attack will come with the tanks of the tank battalion, everything is subject to my orders, remember, follow the chariot, even if you are crushed to death, you must not open the distance, the skirmish line will be given to me in the back row of the chariot, the previous attack, because the infantry and the chariot are too far away, was beaten by the Japanese miserably, remember, this is my death order, tell my soldiers, follow me, close!"

"Understood."

After explaining all the matters, everyone went back to give orders, prepare weapons and ammunition, and reinforce the mortar platoon, Zhang Wei ordered them to carry the decomposed mortars and follow behind the chariots, advance behind the chariots, and wait until the position was consolidated before setting up artillery shots. When the charge was supported by the 45mm guns on the tank, the mortars had little effect, and Zhang Wei thought that once the attack reached the station, the place where the tank could not enter, it would have to be solved by mortars.

Not far away, two platoons of six T26 tanks deployed by the tank battalion started to heat up, replenished enough shells and machine gun shells, and lined up in a column to sharpen knives and drive forward, preparing to avenge the platoon brothers who had just been martyred, although it was two rows of tanks, Liu Jiehui appointed an older platoon commander to be in charge of the commander-in-chief for the convenience of command, it was the platoon commander Lu who Zhang Wei knew, the T26 platoon commander was equipped with a radio transceiver device, and the non-platoon commander also had a radio signal device in the car, which was more convenient for command.

On the issue of the coordination of chariots and infantry, Zhang Wei and Platoon Commander Lu discussed it. The two armies joined forces, steel and the flow of people converged, and began to slowly advance forward,
