Let’s talk about the 170th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.
Captain Taro Koga had actually realized that something was wrong, and sent an urgent message to Captain Saburo Sato of the 5th Tank Squadron, asking the 5th Tank Squadron to return to the camp immediately. However, Saburo Sato did not take Taro Koga at first. He took the warning to heart and led the fifth squadron of tanks to continue the pursuit south.
It wasn't until the accompanying infantry squadron was attacked and killed by the Wolf Fang that Saburo Sato finally realized the danger. He immediately ordered the fifth squadron of tanks to turn around and return north. At the same time, he sent an emergency telegram to the 170th Infantry Regiment, requesting Taro Koga to dispatch it immediately. An infantry brigade came south to meet them.
After Taro Koga received Saburo Sato's telegram asking for help, he immediately sent an infantry brigade and an independent artillery team south along the highway to respond. However, less than five miles south, he encountered a tenacious blockade from the Dameishan Independent Regiment.
The battle was extremely fierce. No matter how fierce the Japanese army was, the defensive position of the Dameishan Independent Regiment remained firm. Seeing that the frontal breakthrough was blocked, the Japanese captain sent two infantry squads to try to outflank the two flanks, but the result was still useless.
This trick of outflanking has been tried many times against the National Army, but it has never been effective when used against the Communist troops, especially against the Dameishan Independent Regiment, because the Communist troops are not afraid of being blocked by the retreat. People surrounded him.
When the Japanese captain was at his wits' end, the roar of tanks suddenly came from ahead.
"Chariot troops?" A sharp-eyed Japanese soldier shouted excitedly, "Captain, our tank troops are back, our tank troops are back!"
The Japanese captain looked in the direction of the Japanese soldier's finger, and sure enough, he saw ghostly black tanks appearing behind the defensive position of the Dameishan Independent Regiment. These tanks were grouped into groups of three, forming a formation. Four attack formations are rushing towards this side.
"Yo Xi! It's time for the general attack!" The Japanese brigade captain was determined. He immediately drew his saber and looked up to the sky and howled, "Order, the brigade headquarters will attack on all fronts, attack on all fronts, and cooperate with the fifth tank squadron to defeat these damn Chinese people." , kill them, kill them..."
The captain of the Japanese army still has some commanding skills. He knows that at this time, he must decisively launch a general attack. Only in this way can it be possible to cooperate with the fifth squadron of tanks returning to the defense to form a front-to-back attack. Otherwise, the Dameishan Independent Regiment will be able to react quickly. , and then divide the troops to block the fifth squadron of tanks, the situation will probably fall into a stalemate again.
If you want to make a breakthrough at that time, you don’t know when it will happen again.
In an instant, the Japanese captain made what he thought was the most correct decision and issued an order.
The next moment, more than 700 Japanese infantrymen immediately stood up from the cold wasteland, first opened a sparse skirmish line, and then rushed towards the defensive position of the three regiments and one battalion.
Seeing this scene, a cruel smile appeared on the face of the first battalion commander Yang Banan. Then, Yang Banan fiercely raised his right hand and waved it down hard. The officers and soldiers of the first battalion who were originally sticking to the position suddenly Immediately move from the center to the sides, making way for a channel for the tank company that is charging forward.
Mei Jiuling drove the No. 501 tank and personally served as the arrowhead of the tank company.
Less than ten meters behind Mei Jiuling's No. 501 tank, two tanks were slightly behind. The three tanks formed a triangular arrow, pointing straight at the Japanese in front. Further behind, another ten tanks formed He fired three attack arrows and followed Mei Jiuling's tank forward.
Through the observation hole on the front of the car, Mei Jiuling could clearly see a battalion of officers and soldiers moving to both sides.
Moving his eyes further forward, he saw the black mass of Japanese soldiers coming like a tide. Seeing this scene, Mei Jiuling's lips immediately evoked a cold murderous intent.
These stupid little devils, are their chariot troops back
Hahaha, little did they know that it was the tank company from their Dameishan Military Division that came!
In the blink of an eye, the tank was less than a hundred meters away from the surging Japanese troops in front. Mei Jiuling stepped on the accelerator of the tank to the bottom, and the tank immediately roared, heading forward like a wild horse. The Japs galloped away.
Mei Jiuling's eyes suddenly revealed a violent look, and he roared loudly: "Fire!"
A tank cadet soldier who was already in position pressed the button without hesitation. The next moment, the muzzle of the main gun of the No. 501 tank suddenly burst into flames, and then there was a loud bang. Then a hundred meters away, a dazzling red light immediately appeared in the queue of Japanese soldiers.
Immediately after the No. 501 tank, the other twelve tanks that followed also opened fire. In an instant, dozens of dazzling explosions of red light and dazzling red lights appeared among the Japanese infantry formations in front. The light reflected the entire battlefield red, and also illuminated the dull faces of the Japanese.
Faced with this sudden change, the Japanese soldiers who were charging forward were completely confused. What is going on
Why didn’t the tank soldiers of the Fifth Tank Squadron fight the Chinese? But how to hit them in turn
Did the Fifth Tank Squadron rebel? This is impossible, there is no reason. In an instant, the more than 700 Japanese infantrymen who attacked were all stunned.
The Japanese were stunned, but Mei Jiuling's tank company showed no mercy.
After firing two cannons, Mei Jiuling stopped firing any more because he felt sorry for the cannonballs.
However, at the beginning of the design of the Type 95 tank, its focus was not on tank warfare, but on fire support for infantry, so it had two vehicle-mounted machine guns at the front and rear.
They were not allowed to fire artillery, and they also had heavy machine guns.
In an instant, thirteen tanks and thirteen 7.7mm-caliber vehicle-mounted front machine guns opened fire fiercely. The dense bullets were like a violent storm in the summer night, and they were thrown towards the Japanese in front, who were still in a state of confusion. The Japanese soldiers fell down one by one.
"Nani?" A Japanese soldier uttered a meaningless murmur. The next moment, a dazzling tongue of fire swept across his head. Then, the Japanese soldier's head shattered like a watermelon. In an instant, In a short time, all parts of the Japanese soldier's neck and above disappeared.
Not far away, a Japanese second lieutenant was roaring in despair while holding a saber, and then a tongue of fire swept across his chest. The next moment, the right half of the Japanese second lieutenant's chest was violently torn off, turning into splatters all over the sky. The flesh and blood were broken into pieces, but the Japanese second lieutenant still hadn't breathed his last and was still roaring hysterically.
"Ah, damn the Chinese, this is the Chinese tank crew, not ours..."
The roar lasted for less than a moment, and the Japanese second lieutenant finally breathed his last and fell to the ground slumped.
On the other side, a Japanese soldier turned around and wanted to escape. The next moment, the dazzling flames swept across his right thigh. Then, the Japanese soldier's right thigh was immediately torn to pieces by the rain of bullets, and even the thigh The bones were also cut off, and the entire right leg fell off the body.
The Japanese soldier couldn't stand any longer and fell to the ground.
The same scene was being played out repeatedly on the battlefield. Under the violent attack of intensive machine gun fire from the tank company, the Japanese infantrymen who were charging forward fell one by one.
In the blink of an eye, less than half of the more than 700 Japanese soldiers were left.
What is even more tragic is that many of the Japanese who were shot did not die immediately, but fell in a pool of blood struggling, wailing or asking for help. These wailing and cries for help seriously shook the morale of the remaining Japanese. The remaining more than 300 The Japanese immediately lost their courage to attack, turned around and ran away.
These small traders from Osaka have never been courageous beings.
"Come back, come back, attack, continue to attack..." The Japanese captain still did not give up, waving his saber and continuing to jump around, roaring loudly, and then his own efforts were no longer enough to save the defeat. There was no way. A little devil ignored him.
"Xi Na!" The Japanese captain was so angry that he chopped down an escaping infantryman with his sword.
However, it was still in vain. More Japanese infantry bypassed him and continued to flee for their lives.
The Japanese captain was furious and was about to chase down the second deserter when a dazzling tongue of fire swept over his head. The next moment, the Japanese captain's head turned into splatters of flesh and blood.
In less than five minutes, the battle was over.
An entire infantry brigade, including an independent artillery squad, with more than 700 Japanese soldiers, was defeated by Mei Jiuling's tank company in less than five minutes. At least half of the Japanese soldiers were killed or injured by the tank company, and the rest The Japanese who came down ran away like wild boars.
The first battle of the tank company turned out to be unexpectedly good!
If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be unstoppable!
But then again, this battle still had a lot of chance factors.
Because they were in a hurry and were thinking about flanking the Chinese with the tank squadron, the Japanese did not expect that the tank squadron would suddenly "rebellion". They were completely unable to accept that the tank squadron suddenly changed from a friendly force to an enemy force. The cruel fact is that the final defeat can be imagined.
When Yang Banan gathered with a battalion of officers and soldiers again, there was no longer a Japanese soldier standing on the battlefield. The ground was covered with the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, as well as the wounded Japanese soldiers who were still struggling and wailing in a pool of blood. The wounded young soldier is still crying for help, help, help me...
But Yang Banan and a battalion of officers and soldiers would not pity these wounded Japanese soldiers.
For the invaders who dare to set foot on the land of China with weapons, the Chinese have only one word, kill!
Without waiting for Yang Banan's order, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion began to clean the battlefield. As long as they were dead or alive, whether they were trapped beasts still fighting or begging for mercy and surrender, they would all be killed and stabbed a few times first. , less than ten minutes before and after, there was no breathing Japanese on the battlefield, leaving only the corpses of the Japanese on the ground.
