9.168 Assault

After reading the order issued by the headquarters, Wang Jiechen lowered his head and fell into deep thought

He is no longer the deputy company commander of the 200th Division Automobile Company a few months ago, and now Wang Jiechen has become the colonel and deputy commander of the armored column directly under the 25th Group Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that Wang Jiechen's position is only valid within the 25th Group Army, because on the roster of the Wuhan Military Government, the name of the unit to which Wang Jiechen belongs has become the Automobile Regiment of the Special Service Brigade of the 25th Group Army, which is counted as a logistics baggage force.

Huang Haoran also did this out of helplessness, you must know that at this time, only the 200th Division of all the armies of the Wuhan government was equipped with a few sporadic numbers of chariots, barely pulling up the size of a chariot battalion, if Huang Haoran suddenly announced that his 25th Army had a chariot column, then what would others think?

Therefore, in order not to arouse people's jealousy, Huang Haoran could only put on the "pseudonym" of the automobile regiment for the armored column.

In the past few months, with the help of the Soviets, Huang Haoran has built the armored column of the 25th Army into the most powerful armored force in China! Today, this unit has a huge establishment of ten battalions, including 4 tank battalions, with 48 Soviet-made T-26 tanks and 16 Japanese-made and Italian-made tanks; 2 artillery battalions, 24 anti-aircraft guns, 18 76 field guns, all of which are towed by cars; 2 motorized infantry battalions; 1 automobile battalion; 1 mechanical repair baggage battalion; The full column was nearly 7,000 people.

Relatively only having forty or fifty Japanese-made combat vehicles, most of which are still the 6th Division of Bean Chariots, the armored column of the 25th Army is really an incomparably formidable opponent! Huang Haoran decided to put the armored column into the 30-day operation, which made the Chinese army form an absolute superiority over the Japanese army in armored strength for the first time!

What's even worse is that Inaba Shiro didn't know that Huang Haoran had such an armored force under his command, and he was ready to let the bean chariot of the 6th Division play a major role in the breakthrough battle on the 30th!

If you only compare it from the performance of the tank, Wang Jiechen is completely sure that he can completely annihilate the tank troops of the 6th Division! But after all, war is still a human game, and weapons and equipment can only be a secondary factor! Even if the Soviets' T-26 left the Japanese tanks behind a lot in terms of performance, these tanks need to be operated by capable tankers to be effective!

And personnel is exactly where the biggest problem of the armored column is right now!

Although the armored column has a huge establishment and advanced combat vehicles, after all, it is only a new army that has only been hastily formed for a few months, and their opponents, the charioteers of the 6th Division and their commanders, are a group of old oilmen!

As a resource-poor country, Japan's military has always had an almost perverted love for weapons and equipment, especially heavy weapons such as chariots!

Therefore, the devil soldiers who can operate the chariot in the Japanese Army are all elites with high culture, and these people do not even leave the chariot when they eat, drink, and Lazar when they fight, and on Wang Jiechen's side, it took him three or four days just to find a sufficient number of newcomers who smell the oil and do not vomit!

The old oilman vs. the rookie, the gap in personnel suddenly pulled back the originally unbalanced balance between the Chinese and Japanese tank troops, or the devil tank troops still have some upper hand!

In order to make up for Wang Jiechen's lack of command experience, Huang Haoran specially recruited several experienced Soviet armored officers through the Soviet ambassador to serve as advisers to the armored column. Since most of the equipment originally came from the Soviet Union, with the help of these familiar old Maozi officers, Wang Jiechen and his subordinates grew up very quickly! As a result, the armored column of the 25th Group gradually took on some appearance, but whether the armored column could fight or not had to be tested by the Japanese army......

The battle on the 30th is the litmus test!

Wang Jiechen knew very well in his heart that the 25th Group Army had always advocated military exploits and did not raise idlers, and the expensive armored column had consumed too much of Huang Haoran's financial resources.

To put it cheesily, whether the armored column will drink soup or eat meat in the future depends on the next battle!

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Jiechen couldn't come up with a winning way to play, so he simply stopped thinking about it, without further ado, he arrived at the predetermined position first!

"Order the troops to immediately move to the area of sortie and assemble, and no lights are allowed on the road! Radio is silent! The engine is running at low speed, and all the sides of the vehicle must be covered with camouflage! If anyone exposes his combat intentions, Lao Tzu will skin him alive! ”

After receiving the order, the various units of the armored column immediately began to transfer to the destination, and the low roar of the engine sounded one after another in the night sky......

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

After reading the order, Shi Jincai immediately rushed to the side of the map, then took out a ruler and pencil and began to calculate whether his cannon could reach the location of the Japanese division headquarters and brigade headquarters provided by Sasaki. Unfortunately, both of these places are outside the circles that Shi Jincai drew with a pencil!

So as soon as he dropped the pencil, Shi Jincai began to scold, and that tone was like Inaba Shiro had done something that couldn't stop him:

"Damn! That's it! Lao Tzu's 152 howitzer is out of reach! The little devil chose the position of the division and regiment headquarters for them, which is really lacking in morality! ”

Hearing Shi Jincai's words, several battalion commanders of the artillery column could only look at each other. It is a matter of course for this march to fight a war and put the important place outside the range of the opponent's heavy firepower, and the fact that the 25th Army has Soviet-made heavy artillery has already spread, if the 6th Division does not even do this bit of defense, it would be strange to set the division headquarters and brigade headquarters within the range of the heavy artillery of the 25th Group Army!

Let's take the artillery column, for example, not that several heavy artillery positions were located outside the range of the Japanese 150 howitzers?

Of course, you can think about this in your heart, but you must never say it, after all, Shi Jincai is the commander and the commander of the artillery column.

"It seems that we can only arch forward behind the ass of the 99th Division! With this battle exploit in hand, you may be able to fly......"

After scolding for a while, Shi Jincai finally began to plan his plan. According to the order of sorties formulated by Commander Huang Haoran, the armored column was ranked first, followed by the 99th Division, and then the artillery.

However, for Shi Jincai's judgment, several battalion commanders felt that they could not agree:

"Commander, we only need to advance three kilometers of artillery to hit the division headquarters of the 6th Division, even if the 99th Division is like a bamboo, it shouldn't be able to take away our credit, right?"

"You know the! Let's set off in third place, it seems that as long as the cannon is set up and launched, we can make meritorious contributions, and we have taken a big advantage, but you don't want to think about it! The 99th Division is Shen Laoer's troops, and he has always had the character of grabbing merit! Can we move forward so smoothly? ”

"Oh......!"

After listening to Shi Jincai's analysis, several artillery battalion commanders suddenly realized! Now that I think about it carefully, it is really possible that this credit will fly into the hands of Commander Shen!

"You don't have to be too pessimistic, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world! Pass my order, and move forward with the 99th Division immediately after the start of the battle! No matter what Shen Lao Er says, let's set up a cannon to bombard the fuck when we suddenly get to the position! Something happened! ”

"Good! Just listen to the commander! ”

This time, it's really unanimous! (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
