Chapter 257: The Battle of Xifu Iron Armored Train II

The assault team of the Second Regiment, under the command of Commander Zhao, used the cover of artillery fire to blow up the special running rails of the ironclad train, so that the line that the ironclad train could run became shorter and shorter.

With the uninterrupted efforts of the soldiers, the ironclad car was forced little by little to a railway line less than three hundred meters long, and at this time the ironclad car was like a beast trapped in a cage, don't look at it still grinning, but there is no big threat.

The independent regiment is the reserve of the entire second column, but the people in the regiment, including Li Yong, Wang Chengde and some other commanders, are very concerned about the progress of the old 2nd regiment, and they can't help but care about the battle of their mother's family.

Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, muttered while watching: "Pay attention, pay attention to concealment, and keep an eye on the terrain and features when attacking. ”

His muttering made Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion lying with him beside him, anxious: "Lao Li, what are you shouting nonsense, this can't do this, that can't work, you can't go up." ”

Li Jiangguo: "Ma Changsheng, do you think I don't want to go up?" I'm in a hurry to catch fire, isn't there no order, there is an order to go in the morning. ”

Ma Changsheng ignored Li Jiangguo, and followed what he just said: "Lao Li, I went to the regiment headquarters several times, and asked to go up to the top of our battalion, but the regiment commander bombarded him back, Gao Xiang, this kid is good, I didn't go once and let the regiment commander send it over, hey, I don't have any tricks at all, and it seems that our third battalion is no longer playing Baoji this time." ”

Ma Changsheng's complaint amused the anxious Li Jiangguo, and Li Jiangguo had no choice but to enlighten him: "Old Ma, don't worry, you guy, send Gao Xiang and them up because the covering firepower of our second regiment is not enough, and it makes sense that our infantry battalions can't go up, and what the second regiment lacks is artillery fire to cover the attack, not personnel." ”

"I also know this truth, but I'm not convinced, several of your battalions have great merit, only our three battalions, basically every time we do it is either the second echelon or the reserve, my battalion commander is not good to look up in front of the soldiers, and I don't know when I can turn over."

Li Jiangguo: "Old Ma, don't worry, you kid, I heard our regiment commander say, this fight against Baoji will not be smooth sailing, there may be a big battle to be fought later, don't look at Baoji's 76th Division is not very good, there is only one 144 brigade and local miscellaneous cards left in the city, but Hu Zongnan is likely to send reinforcements to fight back, what are the armored cars prepared in our regiment for?" Don't look at what the regiment commander didn't say, but it must be prepared for a big battle, you just put your heart in your stomach, there must be a big battle to be fought, and the credit is indispensable to your three battalions. ”

Li Jiangguo's explanation made Ma Changsheng's heart feel a little better, and he also knew that what Li Jiangguo said was reasonable, there must be a big battle to be fought in the future, and his third battalion would still have a chance.

Not to mention how Li Jiangguo and Ma Changsheng discussed, seeing that the line was blown up by the soldiers of the Second Regiment, Li Yong happily shouted to the commander of the Second Regiment Zhao on the walkie-talkie: "Regiment Commander, let Gao Xiang and them go up, use the 92nd Infantry Cannon to attack at close range, and knock out its ironclad car, the commander of the 76th Division, Xu Bao, and his headquarters are on this ironclad car." ”

Li Yong hurriedly shouted the headquarters of the 76th Division on the ironclad car, it stands to reason that Li Yong didn't want to shout like this, and then if someone asks how do you know that Xu Bao's headquarters is in this car? Our Grand Master Li is afraid that he will not be able to explain it, but at this time, he forgot about it in a hurry.

Maybe Li Yong thought too much, who would think about how he knew in the fierce battle, Commander Zhao heard Li Yong say that Xu Bao might be patronized in this ironclad car, where is there anything to think about how he knows, no matter how he knows, it's true.

Gao Xiang's artillery battalion was subordinate to the Independent Regiment, but now it was assigned to the old 2nd Regiment, so they had to obey the command of the 2nd Regiment.

Commander Zhao shouted on the walkie-talkie: "Got it, Dayong", and then turned around and said to Gao Xiang: "How is it?" The command of the 76th Division was on the car, and it was possible to knock out his ironclad car, is it sure? ”

Gao Xiang is an old Eighth Route Army soldier with a lot of combat experience, and now he is full of confidence in his artillery battalion: "Regiment commander, you just look at it, I promise to solve this big guy, what did our regiment have before?" Pure millet plus rifles, even a few bullets are treasures, and it is not a small gain to be able to capture two grenades in a battle, but now we are strong and strong, and there is plenty of ammunition. ”

After listening to Gao Xiang's words, Head Zhao also knew that this guy had a good life, he had goods in his hands, he had the bottom in his heart, and he was very energetic and confident when he spoke.

But what Gao Xiang said was also the truth, he was really poor when he was in the old 2nd Regiment before, and now look at the artillery battalions of other people, there are more than 40 large and small artillery pieces, and there are special shells and cars responsible for towing in the back.

The 92 Infantry Gun was a weapon captured from the hands of the little devils, and both the Kuomintang troops and the troops were once equipped with a large number of them, which was a kind of infantry heavy weapon with light weight, fast rate of fire, and easy to carry, which could effectively give direct fire support to the attacking soldiers.

In World War II, the Japanese army's army weapons and equipment were not favored by later generations, such as the Type 38 rifle, the crooked handle light machine gun, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun, as well as the pistol equipped by the officers who were nicknamed the Wang Ba Box by the Chinese people, etc., although the reputation is not small, but there is still a big gap compared with the weapons of some industrially developed countries of the same era.

The weapons that are generally favored and more characteristic include the grenadier that can be carried by individual infantry and this Type 92 infantry cannon that can be towed by mules and horses.

After firing a few smoke grenades, the soldiers divided into several battle groups, and under the cover of smoke, pushed several infantry guns forward vigorously until they could shoot directly at the ironclad vehicles.

The smoke bomb shrouded the open space in front of the ironclad car in a white smoke, and the soldiers in the car suddenly couldn't see anything.

The threat to the attacking troops from this indiscriminate shooting by the soldiers in the car was immediately reduced, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion hid behind the bulletproof plates, loaded the bullets, and fired them, and several actions were completed in ten years.

The high-speed shell hit the outer armor of the ironclad car in an instant, followed by a violent explosion, the ironclad car is protected by armor, but the protection is bullets, and there is nothing to be done about the shells.

Such a close-range direct aim shot, not to mention an ironclad vehicle, even a tank with thicker armor would have to be *lost.

The explosion of several shells caused the ironclad to stop all at once, and the armor next to the shell was lifted up, and the armored car that was blown off was like a crab that had cut open its shell, and saw the tender meat and crab roe inside.

The people in the car were killed and wounded, and those who were not blown up were also stunned by the explosion, and most of the commandos of the second regiment were mainly veterans with rich combat experience.

While rushing forward, the submachine gun in his hand opened fire, using short fire to suppress the Kuomintang soldiers in the car who might have woken up.

Besides, Xu Bao, the commander of the 76th Division in the car, the lieutenant general and division commander of the Kuomintang guarding Baoji got up from the ground with a crooked smile at this time, his head was buzzing, and Xu Bao, who staggered and walked a few steps, finally figured out who he was, my division commander, I want to hold Baoji, this guy pulled out a pistol from his waist and shouted in a hoarse throat: "Brother, brothers, fight with the communist army, I will definitely give you a promotion if you beat the communist army back." ”

But his shouting didn't work anymore, the people in the car were shocked, even if he didn't die, no one took his words seriously, his life was going to be over, and there were no officials, and those who weren't killed were lying in the car and pretending to be confused.

After shouting a few words, Master Xu Baoxu walked towards the gap that was blown open by the cannonball, and fired a few shots outside with the officer's gun in his hand as he walked.

The soldiers of the commando team suppressed the shooting with submachine guns while charging, and when they saw that there were still people shooting in the gap that was blown up, they immediately blocked it with fire, and a few shuttle bullets immediately swept over, and the fighters who rushed to the near point flashed to both sides, and threw a few grenades near the gap.

The fighters of the 2nd Regiment Commando were very good at fighting, and they fought in a very orderly manner, not rushing with their heads down, but attacking and advancing in the form of combat groups, one group strafing cover with submachine guns, and the grenades of the other group immediately threw over.

Walking to the gap near the explosion of the ironclad car, Xu Bao felt a cold in his chest, followed by a heat, and then looked down, only to see several blood arrows spraying out of his chest, this guy knew that he had been shot, and it was not a shot, the instinctive action of the person was to cover the wound that was hit with his hand, but he could cover it there, and the blood still sprayed out from his fingers.

Before he could think any further, a grenade exploded under his feet again, and with a "boom", the Kuomintang lieutenant general and division commander who guarded Baoji could no longer think about any promotions and fortunes and the green smoke from the ancestral grave, and the ghost of Xu Bao rose from the body of Xu Bao, who was blown to the ground, and staggered to report to his Commander Hu and Chairman Chiang.

The soldiers of the commando team, who no one knew who the man who had been killed at the door of the car was, rushed into the ironclad car that had been flaunting his might before, with the explosion of the grenade.

"Raise your hands, shoot and don't kill, and see if there are any alive." At the same time as the assault team rushed forward, the troops behind the second regiment also followed.

Captain Zhao and Gao Xiang also hurriedly ran over, and the two of them shouted as they ran: "Go up, Xu Bao, this kid doesn't know if he is in the car, it would be good if he could catch a live one." ‘
