Chapter 621: Is it an illusion?
The ghost soldiers stationed on the position of Jiedu Township stared blankly at the scene in front of them, and they all thought for a while that they must have seen their own eyes.
The second lieutenant squad leader immediately came to the high ground, he held a telescope to observe, and saw the weapons and equipment of the rushing Chinese troops, and the second lieutenant squad leader's eyes widened.
He rubbed his eyes and looked again, thinking that maybe it was his hallucination, and even that he had a thought in his mind whether he was dreaming or not.
More than 30 tanks, hundreds of cavalry, followed by armored vehicles and trucks and mules and horses to pull the artillery, thousands of Chinese troops equipped with dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, dozens of trucks and motorcycles, especially seeing the various types of artillery dragged behind the trucks and motorcycles, the second lieutenant squad leader felt that everything in front of him was not so real.
When will the backward Chinese troops have such weapons and equipment, even though he knows that the equipment of the new Second Brigade is superior to that of other Chinese troops, but the scene in front of him brought him too much shock, he felt that this must be his own hallucination, this must be his own dream.
"How can the Chinese troops have so many light and heavy weapons, their number of light and heavy machine guns is at least dozens, this is just a Chinese army of more than 2,000 people, why do they have tanks, armored vehicles and so many light and heavy weapons."
"No, this must be my hallucination, squad leader, is this my hallucination, it is impossible for the Chinese troops to have so many weapons, they are only more than 2,000 people, how can they be equipped with dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, how can they have dozens of artillery pieces of various calibers."
"BAGA YA ROAD, THIS IS NOT TRUE, HOW COULD THE PRECIOUS 47MM ANTI-TANK GUN OF THE IMPERIAL ARMY FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE CHINESE TROOPS, THIS MUST BE FALSE, THIS MUST BE A MIRAGE, HOW CAN THE BACKWARD CHINESE TROOPS HAVE SUCH EQUIPMENT."
The three Japanese squad leaders who were holding binoculars to observe shouted angrily, they felt that what they had seen was too strange.
In their cognition, the Chinese troops of more than 2,000 people, even if they are equipped with four or five light and heavy machine guns, and are equipped with two or three mortars, are definitely the main force in the Chinese troops.
Now the Chinese troops that appear in front of them are not numerous, but the armament is far more than one of their brigades, where will they believe.
"At twelve o'clock in the direction, at a distance of eight hundred meters, the target Japanese position, loaded with high-explosive shells."
"At twelve o'clock in the direction, at a distance of eight hundred meters, the target Japanese position, loaded with high-explosive bombs, reloaded."
"Launch!"
Yin Jinshan's Type 97 tank had stopped, Yin Jinshan immediately gave an order, and the armored troops immediately repeated Yin Jinshan's order while loading a high-explosive shell.
As Yin Jinshan gave the order to launch, the armored soldiers immediately launched the high-explosive bomb.
The Type 97 tank began to tremble slightly, and the high-explosive shells quickly broke away from the barrels of the tank guns, and the shells accurately hit the Japanese positions.
With a "boom", the explosion began to sound, and seven or eight devil soldiers who were watching the troops of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment in confusion were killed in an instant.
The ghost soldiers reacted very quickly, and when the shells hit, many of them immediately hidden.
As the cannonball was fired, the ghost soldiers, who had always suspected that the picture they were seeing were hallucinations, began to wake up.
"Evacuate, evacuate quickly." The second lieutenant squad leader quickly gave the order to evacuate.
The arrogant and arrogant devil soldiers had a time to flee in the wilderness, but it was obviously impossible for them to escape in front of the troops of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment.
The tank was moving at full speed, and more than 100 cavalrymen, under the command of Ge Haifeng, quickly began to pursue the evacuated devil soldiers.
The tank is driven by an engine and does not need manpower at all, the cavalry has a war horse to walk, and the devil soldiers rely on only two legs.
Even though the devil soldiers are well-trained, even though they have a strong physique, they can't outrun tanks and cavalry.
Chen Zhongju, the captain of the first company of the cavalry battalion, brandished his saber and chased after the evacuated devil soldiers.
It was a one-sided massacre, in which a small squad of Japanese troops was wiped out, and the cavalry unit had to pay the price of seven or eight soldiers wounded.
The troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment easily captured Jiedu Township, but the troops did not stop at Jiedu Township, and they continued to advance towards the county seat of Xiyang County.
The skirmish in Jiedu Township came to an end, and the people who were hiding at home were stunned.
"Iron King Eight, the Iron King Eight of our troops, Dad, come and see, this is the Iron King Eight of our troops."
Tanks passed through the street at a rapid pace, and a twelve-year-old child couldn't help but scream excitedly.
Iron King Eight, this is another name for tanks by the Chinese people, in fact, before the Japanese army invaded China, many people did not know what tanks were.
Not to mention these ordinary people, even the officers and soldiers in many units do not know what tanks and airplanes are.
China's backwardness can be seen from this, but it was the Chinese troops that were so backward that they did not even know what tanks and planes were, and resisted the main force of the Japanese army for eight years.
Tanks, cavalry, armored vehicles, trucks, straddle motorcycles, mules and horses, pack horses, passed through the streets one after another.
The people who had been hiding at home opened their doors and windows one after another, and they looked outside.
Watching the troops of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment pass by one by one, they had excited expressions on their faces.
"Down with Japanese imperialism!"
"Down with Japanese imperialism!"
"Resist Japan and win!"
"Resist Japan and win!"
The people began to shout loudly, and the sound of the voice resounded through the sky.
The officers and men of the 6th Cavalry Regiment looked at the agitated civilians, and their faces showed serious expressions, they were not proud, and some only blamed themselves.
The officers and soldiers in gray military uniforms passed by Jiedu Township one after another, and many people ran outside the village, even though the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment had disappeared, they were still looking into the distance.
"Is this a unit of the Eighth Route Army, it seems that the words on their arms and clothes are not the Eighth Route worn by the Eighth Route Army."
"I saw it, I knew that word, it seemed like there was a six-character in the middle, but I didn't recognize the other two words."
"What do you know, their armband is Cavalry 6R, which is the abbreviation of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, which is only available to the troops who have officially awarded the number."
"Oh, it's still the chief of the security department who has insight, don't you say we don't know."
The people talked about it, and the troops used to wear armbands to return the mountains and rivers, but after the troops officially awarded the number, all of them have changed.
All brigade headquarters personnel and units directly under the brigade headquarters wear the armband of the new 2B, the 1st Reserve Regiment wears the pre-1R armband, and the 6th Cavalry Regiment wears the armband of the 6R Cavalry.
