1442 Draw out the point of fire

The front-line commander immediately informed Lu Xinghua of the news, and Lu Xinghua thought to himself: "In order to have better engineering capabilities, the bulldozer tank has canceled the main gun, and only a heavy machine gun and a side-by-side light machine gun are installed. They can only be withdrawn, alas, what a mistake it was not to equip the bulldozer tanks with the cover of the main battle tanks in the first place. ”

So Lu Xinghua said: "Order the bulldozer tanks to be withdrawn immediately." The front-line commander immediately ordered a retreat, and the Japanese army immediately let out a burst of cheers when they saw the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops retreating.

The front-line commander came back to see Lu Xinghua, and Lu Xinghua asked, "Did the Japanese army use any new weapons?" How did you have the ability to blow up our bulldozer tanks? ”

The front-line commander shook his head helplessly, Lu Xinghua pondered for a moment, and said: "Do you say that the Japanese army used tanks as artillery?" ”

The front-line commander's eyes lit up and he said: "There is this possibility, their tanks can fire armor-piercing and armor-piercing shells, and it is still possible to damage our bulldozer tanks." ”

Lu Xinghua said with a smile: "The Japanese army actually used their tanks as fixed artillery, it was really a cocoon, self-destructive, and ordered our tanks to dispatch and kill them." ”

As soon as the order was given, Li Yonglong, commander of the first tank battalion, led the tank battalion to set off to the Japanese anti-tank trench, stopped when it was more than 3,000 meters away, and sent an armored reconnaissance vehicle to reconnoitre, and was surprised to find that the Japanese fire was not visible in the photo at all!

Zhang Menghu, commander of the engineering corps, said: "Battalion Commander Li, don't look at the photos now, you can't see the Japanese firepower point, but as soon as we pass, the shells in the firepower point will definitely come." ”

Li Yonglong thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, then let's go over and draw out all the firepower points of the Japanese army." ”

When Zhang Menghu heard this, he shook his head and said: "By all means, we have already lost a bulldozer tank, and we can't go any further." ”

Li Yonglong laughed loudly: "Look at your cowardly look, who said let you lead it!" To draw out the enemy's firepower point, of course, we have to go there ourselves! ”

Zhang Menghu said: "Although you have explosive reactive armor and are not afraid of armor-piercing shells, but the Japanese army still has armor-piercing shells, can you block them?" ”

Li Yonglong said with a smile: "We have mobility, they don't have a fire control system, and static shooting is not so accurate, don't worry." ”

Zhang Menghu didn't say more, Li Yonglong called a few company commanders, pointed to the map and said: "The Japanese army's firepower points must be located on the high slope on the east side, and there are several continuous stone low mountains on the west side, and the observation field is limited, so there is no need to arrange firepower points. ”

"We can't rush directly to the east, because it is very likely that the enemy will set fire, so we have to fight smarter, first to the west of the battlefield, and then to the east, so that the Japanese are limited by the angle of fire, and it is impossible to form a concentrated fire on us. When we get close to their point of fire, their point of fire will definitely open fire, so that we will find their point of fire. ”

"As soon as we found their point of fire, we opened fire on them, first killed some of their tanks, and then gradually advanced from east to west, the number of tanks in this operation is not suitable for too much, one platoon, five tanks are enough, one company commander!"

When the company commander heard this, he immediately replied, "Here!" ”

Li Yonglong said: "This task will be handed over to you. ”

The commander of the first company replied in a loud voice: "Guarantee to complete the task." "The commander of the first company immediately returned with five tanks and advanced to the Japanese position to the west, which was surrounded by several rocky low hills, which were not suitable for tank movements, so the Japanese defenders were very surprised to see the Chinese tanks coming at them.

However, the commander of the first company did not storm the anti-tank trench, but turned in front of the anti-tank trench and drove towards the high ground to the east.

In order to obtain a larger field of view, the commander of the first company leaned out of the car, and when he saw the flash, he immediately reported the direction of the flash to the gunner, and when the gunner heard it, he immediately turned the muzzle, aimed at the flash, and turned the magnification of the scope to the maximum - twelve times, under this magnification, he clearly saw a smoking muzzle, and around the muzzle was a bunker several meters high, and a white cloth was hung on the outside of the bunker, which looked exactly like snow from a distance.

When the gun commander saw that the Japanese tanks were hiding in the bunker, he immediately thought: "I have to change the type of ammunition, isn't it a joke to use armor-piercing shells to hit the bunker?" While thinking, the gun commander pressed the bullet selection button on the automatic loader, replaced a grenade with the bomb feeder, and pressed the "OK button" to send the grenade into the chamber.

As soon as the firing indicator light was on, the gun commander pressed the firing button, and a shell immediately shot out, and with a "boom" sound, it exploded on the bunker outside the Japanese tank, raising a thick smoke, and the company commander hurriedly asked: "What kind of shell did you hit?" ”

The gun commander said: "With the demolition grenade with the delayed fuse, we have to knock out the bunker outside the Japanese tank first." ”

The commander of a company did not have a 12-fold magnified scope, so he couldn't see clearly whether there was a bunker outside the Japanese tank, so he raised the telescope and looked at the Japanese firepower point, but there was only a thick smoke as far as his eyes could see. ”

At this time, the thick smoke shrouded the Japanese firepower point, and the Japanese tankmen suddenly became blind and stopped firing artillery, just at this time a wind blew to disperse the smoke, and the company commander looked at the bunker and felt a chill in his heart, and it turned out that the bunker was only blown out of a few small craters! The main body has not moved!

The first company commander thought to himself: "What is the little devil's bunker made of?" Why is it so sturdy? Our 100mm grenades can't even hit it! We've got to get back quickly, we can't afford to spend shells here. So the company commander said: "Attention units, put smoke bombs, let's retreat." ”

As soon as the five tanks heard this, they immediately pressed the grenade launch button, and the smoke screen bombs were knocked out, and a thick smoke was immediately formed around the tanks, and the five tanks took advantage of this smoke to retreat, and as soon as the company commander went back, he said to Li Yonglong: "Battalion commander, the little devil really uses the tank as a firepower point, and there is a bunker outside, and the bunker is made of what the hell is made of, and our 100mm grenades can't move at all!" ”

As soon as Li Yonglong heard this, he immediately notified Lu Xinghua, and Lu Xinghua immediately ordered: "Self-propelled howitzer troops are dispatched!" After giving the order, he thought in his heart: "Little devil, 100 mm grenades can't move you, see if our 122 mm grenades can move you?" ”
