8.26 Clash of Vehicles

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here", Ishiguro Zhenzang Dazuo may not have heard this Chinese saying, but now he is also sighing how things can be so coincidental! As soon as Ishiguro Sadazo finished talking about the Chinese tank troops, those Italian-made CV-33 tanks appeared in front of his eyes!

At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, Ishiguro Sadazo Dasa opened the commander's observation window and squinted his eyes to check for a while, and he found that there were a total of 7 Chinese chariots on the opposite side!

"Mixi! This is a battle feat delivered to the door! Hurry up! We have several times as many tanks as the Chinaks! And half of them are medium tanks! These Italian tin toys will be our target! ”

Although Ishiguro Sadazo's words were interfering with the chariot unit beyond his authority, the commander of the Type 89 medium tank also had to admit that what Ishiguro Sadazo said was right! This is really a great opportunity!

There were a total of 29 Japanese tanks operating with the 2nd Wing, and even excluding a few armored vehicles and old tanks without artillery, there were as many as 21 Type 89 medium tanks and Type 95 "bean tanks" that could be used in battle!

Combat vehicle against armored vehicle, again 3:1 advantage! There was absolutely no possibility of defeat for the Japanese tank units!

However, the order given by Zhang to the 2nd Wing of the Tufeiyuan Division was indeed to reinforce the baggage wing at Liuyuankou at all costs! This "at all costs" naturally includes asking the Japanese tank units to let go of such fighters!

"Daisa Ishiguro! If we start a battle with the chariot troops of the Chinese here, we will definitely delay the plan to rescue the baggage wing! To do so is to disobey the order of the commander of the Tu Fei Yuan Division! “

Although the commander of the Type 89 medium tank said this, Ishiguro Sadazo Daisa saw that the commander's heart wanted to fight the Chinese tank troops!

Because there are so few opportunities like this! As Ishiguro Sadazo said, there are not many tank troops in the whole of China! Being able to meet one in Lanfeng is definitely the creation of the commander of the Japanese tank unit!

Like a devil who instigates people to sin, Ishiguro said quietly, "My commander! In fact, you don't have to worry so much at all, the person who makes the decision should be your superior! All you have to do is report back to everything you see! ”

The commander bit his lip vigorously, and then accepted Ishiguro Sadazo's suggestion! Having received the commander's order, the Heavy extended the signal flag through a small lockable hole in the large hatch at the top of the turret. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info sent their findings three times in the flag.

After all this, the commander, gunner, and machine gunner all lay on their seats and looked at the command vehicle in the distance, and this time the command vehicle of the Japanese tank unit failed to make a decision, and their commander must have fallen into the same hesitation.

"Coward! A bunch of cowards! Shame on the Empire! ”

Ishiguro did not have so much patience, and after feeling the indecision of the commander of the chariot unit, Ishiguro decided to let his infantry wing defeat the Chinese chariots!

"Suzuki! Nakasa Suzuki! I order your brigade to attack the chariots on the flanks! Be sure to destroy them all! Let these cowards of the chariot unit see the blood of Yamato men! ”

Ishiguro Sadazo Osa pushed open the large hatch at the top of the turret, leaned out halfway and roared loudly, and the three charioteers in the chariot felt very angry! If it weren't for the fact that Ishiguro was a big sa, the charioteers would really want to take off Ishiguro Sadazo and beat him!

Hearing Ishiguro Sadazo's shout, Suzuki Nakasa, the leader of the 2nd Brigade, immediately led his brigade to the side of the stationary Type 89 medium tank, and then shouted loudly in cooperation!

"Hay! Your Excellency! Without the cooperation of the chariot troops, we can also destroy the chariots of the Shina people! Please rest assured! ”

As soon as Suzuki Nakasa's words fell, a Type 89 medium tank in the middle of the queue immediately roared and accelerated and rushed up, "Hula", the top hatch of the Type 89 medium tank was also opened, and the tank commander Kimura Nakasa poked his head out of the turret, glanced at Ishiguro Sadazo Osa coldly, and then retracted it, and then, the signal flag was raised!

"Attack! Attack! Attack! ”

The simple command was quickly repeated three times, and then all the engines of the Japanese tanks roared, and all 29 rushed forward, and even the armored vehicles that were not equipped with artillery were not left!

Anyway, the other party is also an armored vehicle, so if it doesn't work, use ramming tactics! The premise is that the chariots of the Chinese have not been wiped out by the chariot cannons of the imperial army at that time!

***************************************************

Behind the CV-33 tank was a trench, apparently dug by hand, with a gentle slope, in which 200 T-200 tanks of the 26th Division tank battalion were parked!

In the trenches on the other side, Zhong Song's 61st Division was ambushed, and the two battle defense artillery companies were lined up at the front, and the chariot positions were horns of each other! This is the grave prepared by Qiu Qingquan for the Japanese tank troops!

"Brother Yu'an! The devil has taken the bait! ”

Seeing the Japanese chariot rushing over like a bull in heat, Zhao Weiguo, the commander of the 200th Division's chariot battalion, shouted excitedly, in order to complete this ambush, the chariot battalion of the 200th Division had been waiting in this trench for three hours! In order to avoid exposing the target, all the hatches of the tank were closed, and the three crew members inside the vehicle could only breathe fresh air through the small observation hole, which was stuffy and hot!

But now these hardships are nothing! The 9 gunners in the 9 tanks are now holding the bolts, and they all know that the armor of the Japanese tanks is very thin, and once they are hit by the 37mm tank guns of the T-26, there is absolutely no chance of survival!

The T-200A tanks equipped by the 26 Division were one of the military aid provided by the Soviets, and the T-26 was one of the first tanks to be massively equipped with Soviet troops. It was officially finalized in 1931 and equipped with the Soviet army in 1932. It was one of the main equipment of the Soviet tank forces in the early days. Both the T-26 tank and the German tank I were designed on the basis of the British "Vickers" tank, but the firepower of the T-26 was significantly higher than that of the I. and surpassed the II, reaching or even surpassing the level of the earlier German III. tank. The early T-26A had a side-by-side twin turret design with a 37mm main gun, but the T-26 light tank had poor armor protection and was not capable of resisting infantry fire.

Because the armor of both vehicles cannot withstand the shells fired by the guns of the opposing vehicles, once hit, it means that the battle is withdrawn! This also means that the battle between the Chinese and Japanese tank units is a battle destined for a preemptive strike!

The first enemy discovers, the first enemy fires, and it becomes the key to victory!

At this point, the T-26 of the Chinese army now has a big advantage! Compared with the Japanese tanks that have been laid out, the tanks of the Chinese army are still hidden in the shadows, and the Chinese gunners have begun to target the Japanese tanks, and the Japanese tanks are still staring at the seven CV-33s that are used as decoys!

If it weren't for the fact that the 2nd Wing would lose the cover of the tanks and be unable to break through the defense line set up by the 71st Army at Hongmiao in order to deal with the Japanese tank's chariot troops, Qiu Qingquan would not be willing to use these imported chariots as bait! Although these Italian goods are indeed golden and jade, and the embroidered pillows that are not useful on the outside, they can at least be used to train recruits!

China doesn't want Japan to make its own chariots, every chariot that can be used is extremely expensive!

"It's almost time to withdraw! What is Camp Commander Wang doing? In front of the devil's chariot artillery, his CV-33 is tender tofu! If you don't withdraw, it's too late! ”

Qiu Qingquan was about to order the T-26 tank to fire the first round of shells, but Zhao Weiguo, the commander of the tank battalion who acted as the driver, found that the performance of the CV-33 tank was somewhat abnormal, according to the pre-war plan, Battalion Commander Wang should now take his Italian tank and start "fleeing", in this steel battle, there is really no room for the CV-33 to participate.

Qiu Qingquan, who served as the commander and commander of the vehicle, looked in the direction of the second tank battalion from the artillery firing observation hole, and saw that, as Zhao Weiguo said, all the CV-33s were still in place! It stands to reason that Qiu Qingquan, as the commander of the vehicle, should be the first to discover this situation, but due to the special design of the T-26, Zhao Weiguo, the commander of the tank battalion who served as the driver, became the first to find out.

T26 has done a good job in maneuverability, and the speed is very fast, but due to the cancellation of the conning tower, the commander's observation ability is greatly reduced, and because it is a three-crew establishment, the commander of the T-26 also has to serve as the commander of the gun, which makes the commander almost no time to observe the surroundings during the battle, and just now Qiu Qingquan neglected to observe the CV-33 that decoyed the enemy because he patronized a bean chariot aimed at the Japanese army.

"He wants us to have more time to aim, and when the little devils see them standing still, they will definitely disperse and encircle! In this way, at least a third of the Japanese tanks will be facing us, and they will not be able to fight back just by being beaten! Camp Commander Wang is afraid that he has made up his mind to martyrdom! ”

Qiu Qingquan's mood was very heavy at the moment, in fact, he knew that Battalion Commander Wang had a layer of intention in doing this, but now that the big war is imminent, it is better not to say that it will affect the morale of officers and soldiers!

Battalion Commander Wang did this so that the artillery in the trenches and the gunners of the T-26 could shoot more accurately! The number of technical arms in the Chinese army is too small! and lack of corresponding training equipment, although now the combat vehicles with Soviet aid have been obtained, but due to the quality of personnel can not keep up, they cannot give full play to the power of these T-26s! Even if you shoot a fixed target during normal training, it is very good that the tank gunner can do one out of three! Now to fight the speeding Japanese tank, it is simply an impossible task!

Slowly retreating according to the predetermined plan will at best slow down the Japanese tank or stop and fire from a distance! The Japanese also knew that the weak point of their tanks was the thin armor, but the artillery was very powerful, so the Japanese would not fail to use their advantages! If you want the devils to let down their guard and come up, and stop and let the anti-aircraft guns and T-26s aim at it, then you have to convince little Japan that the Chinese tank units are afraid and are going to surrender to them!

That's why Camp Commander Wang will let his CV-33 not move! As for the possibility that the Japanese would not come over and capture these tanks, it would not have appeared at all! The little devil's natural picking, 7 CV-33s, can be said to be the first-class trophies that the Japanese army can capture from the Chinese army! If these devils can bear not to stretch out their hands, then they are not Japanese!

"Brother Yu'an! You give Camp Commander Wang an order! It's not worth it to exchange 7 CV-33s for a moment of carelessness for Little Japan! ”

"Battalion Commander Zhao! It's too late! Drive the chariot well, don't let down all this that Camp Commander Wang did!! ”

Zhao Weiguo's voice was mixed with painful emotions, and Qiu Qingquan's answer was the same. Zhao Weiguo's pain comes from his unbearability! And Qiu Qingquan's pain came from his inner struggle!

At this moment, there are two voices competing in Qiu Qingquan's heart, one of them is "worth it", and the other is "not worth it"!

*************************************************

"The people of China must be scared silly! I can't even escape!"

In the Type 89 medium tank, the commander smiled very happily, he thought that this victory was already within reach! The gunners and machine gunners in the turret also had the same idea, 7 CV-33s without guns met a full 29 Japanese tanks, and they would not know what to do if they were replaced!

The Japanese-made "Bean Chariot" is most famous for its speed! Even these CV-33s on the opposite side can't run away if they want to! It's a smart choice!

"It's a pity that it's the CV-33, if it's the German No. 1 tank, it would be good!"

The commander was still a little dissatisfied, and he hoped that they would capture the most advanced German No. 1 tank equipped by the Chinese army.

"It's strange that these CV-33s appear a little unusual!" Ishiguro Sadazo suddenly said this, at this time he no longer had the excitement he had when he first urged the chariot troops to attack, this was because Ishiguro Sadazo Osa had already smelled a trace of danger!

"Daisa Ishiguro! You're probably too cautious! In fact, this is what the Chinese army should look like! They don't deserve to be called soldiers, they're just a bunch of peasants who join the army to make ends meet! Often they fight on their own, the infantry does not go to cover the chariots, and the chariots do not go to clear the way for the infantry! Just like the 27th Army we encountered after breaking through, they could obviously intercept us, but they only cared about dealing with the imperial army of Ding Ji! Maybe it seems incredible to us, but for the people of China, it is normal to ignore it if it is not their own task! ”

The commander's answer surprised Ishiguro Sadazo Daisa! He didn't expect that a little lieutenant would have such a deep understanding of China! Ishiguro Sadazo Osa thinks that this commander should be sent to Tegaoke to take up his post!

"Commander! The command vehicle is issuing new orders! ”

At this time, the machine gunner suddenly shouted, and the commander immediately ordered: "The machine gunner pays attention to the flag of the command vehicle!" The gunners aim at the chariots of the Chinese people! We're slowing down! ”

After the commander said these words, he began to slow down, and Ishiguro Sadazo Osa mistakenly thought that the commander was about to brake sharply again, so he didn't care about continuing to think about the problem, and held his head in his hands and was cautiously guarded.

The gunner couldn't help but laugh when he saw the appearance of Ishiguro Sadazo, and Ishiguro Sadazo glared at the gunner, as if saying that after this battle, I must make you look good!

"Commander! The command vehicle ordered our squad to go around to the rear of the Shina chariot, block their retreat, and aim at them! Nakasa Kimura wants to catch it alive! ”

"Tell the command vehicle and we'll execute it immediately!"

The 29 Japanese tanks were quickly divided into three teams, one detouring from the left flank of the CV-33 and the other detouring from the right flank of the CV-33.

Nakasa Kimura looked at the CV-33 fighting compartment with a 6.5mm M14 machine gun on the left side. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth! Such a thinly armored and lightly firepowered combat vehicle had little use. Ignorant Chinese, fell for the Italians!

Kimura Nakasa automatically ignored the fact that Japan was also a victim of the CV-33, in fact, Japan imported far more Italian weapons than China, and the money cheated out of China was many times greater!

"Machine gun fire! Give them a warning! If they come out of the chariot obediently, I'll leave them all dead! If you are responsible... All dead, dead! ”

After receiving the order of Kimura Nakasa, the machine gunner of the Type 89 medium tank immediately fired a shuttle at the CV-33, and the poor Italian was actually hit by this machine gun with several holes! I really don't understand how the Italians could have designed such a useless tank, and a whole 1300 units were produced!

The CV-33 tanks of the Chinese army did not react in any way, as if there were no Chinese tankers in the tank. Seeing such a scene, Ishiguro Sadazo Daisa, who had already detoured behind Cv-33, became even more nervous, and he shouted at the lieutenant commander who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Something is wrong! Something is very wrong! ”

In the trenches of the 61st Division, the camouflage on the 12 37mm anti-aircraft guns was lifted, and a total of 7 combat vehicles of the Japanese tank unit detoured back to the right flank of the CV-33, that is, appeared directly in front of these anti-aircraft guns!

In the other trench, the command vehicle showed the final prepared flag, as soon as this flag fell, the 9 T-26s would immediately fire at the 6 Japanese tanks that detoured behind the CV-33, and then wait until the gunner finished reloading, these T-26s will start to show their climbing performance! Officially on the ground!

"Yaga! Won't you surrender? Shoot again! If they haven't reacted yet, we'll shoot! ”

"Hay!"

The machine gunner and gunner inside the turret agreed loudly, which finally calmed Kimura's anger a little. Almost at the same time, the 7 CV-33s that had been standing still seemed to hear what Kimura Nakasa said, and suddenly stepped on the accelerator at the same time and rushed forward, because the distance between the two sides was quite close, and the CV-33 accelerated very quickly, and the Japanese tanks did not have time to react, and the 7 CV-33s rushed through the gap between the main vehicles of the combat vehicles led by Kimura Nakasa.

Angry, Kimura Nakasa immediately ordered the chariot to turn around and pursue! What Kimura Nakasa didn't expect was that in this way, dozens of Japanese tanks that were turning around finally became the "fixed targets" that the 200th Division Tank Battalion and the 61st Division were most familiar with.

"Fire!" "Fire!"

Anti-aircraft guns and tank guns were fired almost simultaneously! After a violent explosion, 5 Japanese tanks announced their withdrawal from the battle!

Kimura Nakasa hurriedly stuffed his face into the observation window, desperately looking for the direction where the cannonballs were flying, when the gunner standing on the top suddenly shouted:

"Chariots! Chinese tanks! Enemy attack! ”

The engines of 9 T-26s roared and rushed from the trench to the ground at once! (To be continued.) )
