I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 208 Hefei Great Victory
Calculated according to the American system, one gallon is equal to 3.785412 liters, which means that Xu Qingfeng won more than 37 liters of gasoline rewards this time.

Based on the calculation that the Sherman tank consumes about 400 liters of fuel per 94500 kilometers, the [-] gallons of gasoline are enough for the ten existing Sherman tanks of the Huben Group to travel [-] kilometers.

In other words, he received the gasoline reward for killing Akira Sakamoto, the Japanese Major General.

Enough to drive these ten Sherman tanks until they are scrapped, and there is still a surplus.

In other words, the Huben Group will have sufficient gasoline supply for a long time to come.

The battle was still going on, Xu Qingfeng didn't care about being too happy, and manipulated the Browning heavy machine gun on the vehicle, and continued to fire violently at the remaining devils.

Da da da da da... Amidst the deafening roar of machine guns.

A large number of hot bullets, like raindrops, whizzed and swept towards the devil.

Several ghost soldiers who tried to come to rescue Akira Sakamoto were immediately hit head-on, and fell to the ground screaming.

With the strong support of Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo's Sherman tank, the assault force led by Chen Qifeng, Sun Kui and others can be said to be even more powerful, and the assault operation is even more powerful.

In addition, the main force of the Huben Regiment and other ministries of the surrounding national army also joined the battle one after another.

The remnants of the Sakamoto detachment, which suffered heavy losses, were no longer able to stop the attack of the national army.

The circular fortifications on the nameless mound were successively breached by the Huben Regiment and other ministries of the national army.

Especially the assault troops of the Huben Regiment, relying on all American Thompson submachine guns in their hands, were invincible.

More than half an hour later, under the full siege of the Huben regiment and various ministries of the national army.

Outnumbered and without its commander, the Sakamoto detachment was finally wiped out.

So far, the first batch of thousands of Japanese main forces used to attack Hefei were wiped out by the Huben Regiment.

If we include the more than 5000 reinforcements that were previously encircled and destroyed by the Huben regiment, the Japanese army has lost nearly [-] troops under the city of Hefei.

For the various ministries of the national army after the Nanjing Defense War, it was definitely a victory that greatly boosted morale.

Therefore, Xu Yuanquan, who was overjoyed, did not wait to discuss with Xu Qingfeng, and directly sent a message of victory to Principal Chang who was far away in Wuchang in the name of the commander-in-chief of the city defense.

……

Wuchang, the principal's residence.

Principal Chang had just finished an emergency meeting to discuss the battle of Xuzhou, and was returning to his residence, accompanied by his aide-de-camp Wang Shihe and others.

As soon as he left the corridor of the conference room, an aide-de-camp from the attendant's room looked excited and walked towards him quickly.

Seeing this, Wang Shihe, who was on the right side beside Principal Chang, hurried up to meet him.

The aide-de-camp hastily handed over the telegram to him, and said: "Sir, Hefei has won a great victory."

Wang Shihe was startled. He unfolded the telegram and took a quick glance at it. Then he quickly walked to Principal Chang and said respectfully: "Commitment, General Xu Yuanquan sent an urgent telegram from Hefei.

The city defense forces of Hefei joined forces with the Huben Regiment to wipe out the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment. "

Principal Chang was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately took the telegram and read it quickly.

After reading it, he said excitedly: "Great, this victory came too timely, we need such a victory so much now.

Xu Yuanquan has made a great contribution this time! "

Wang Shihe reminded in a low voice from the side: "Commissioner, the Huben Regiment participated in the whole battle, not only solved the siege of Hefei, but also wiped out all the invading enemies.

It seems that the Huben Group should have made great efforts this time. "

Principal Chang knew this very well and nodded clearly: "Well, let's call up Xu Qingfeng and commend him immediately, no, it's Xu Weiguo and the others!
In addition, the news of the great victory in Hefei was quickly spread to all theaters, especially the troops in the fifth theater.

Now that the Japanese invaders are advancing from north to south and attacking Xuzhou, the troops in the Fifth Theater need such good news to boost morale. "

"Yes!" Wang Shihe bowed his head and quickly turned around to tell the aide to go.

……

Jinling, Central China Japanese Command.

Shunroku Hata, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in Central China at the time, was having dinner.

A rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside the restaurant, and before Shunroku Hata looked up, a figure quickly broke in.

Shunroku Hata took a closer look and saw that the person coming was his chief of staff Masaru Kawabe.

"Chief of Staff, why are you so panicked?" Shunroku Hata stopped eating angrily.

Hebian Zhengwu held a telegram in his hand, and said in a deep voice with no trace of joy on his face: "Report to the general, news came from the front line, the Sakamoto detachment was surrounded by heavy troops from the China Army, and everyone was shattered!"

"Nani?" Hata Toshiroku was taken aback and stood up hastily.

He snatched the telegram from Zhengwu's hand by the river, looked at it hastily, and couldn't help being furious, kicking the dining table in front of him to the ground.

"Bagaya Road! Didn't you give them so many airdrops? Why did they fall so quickly?
Akira Sakamoto is a waste!He is simply a stupid pig! "

Hebian Zhengwu lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

At this moment, another Japanese army staff officer ran in with a panicked expression.

Facing the sharp and surprised gazes of Shunroku Hata and Masaru Tanabe, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Report to the Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, there is strange information coming from the aviation unit."

"What strange information?" Hata Shunroku asked in an annoyed cold voice.

The staff officer handed over the telegram with both hands and replied at the same time: "When the aviation unit was conducting airdrop support to the Sakamoto detachment, they discovered that a group of tanks and combat vehicles appeared in the sky and were also conducting airdrops!"

Hata Toshiroku and Tanabe Masaobu were at a loss when they heard the words.

Shunroku Hata, an old devil, reached out and took the message, read it in a hurry, and said with a surprised look on his face: "Baga! Is this the situation? Are the aviation bastards dazzled?"

Masatake Tanabe carefully took the telegram from his hand, and after reading it, he said with disbelief: "General, the weight of a tank is far more than those airdropped supplies.

With the current carrying capacity of the Royal Air Force, I am afraid it is far from enough to airdrop such heavy equipment on a large scale, right? "

Hata Junroku glared at him angrily: "How could I not know this? So the aviation bastards are lying, right?"

"Find excuses for their poor airdrop support?"

The staff officer who came to report the letter quickly bowed his head and said: "General, according to the report of the aviation unit, the Sakamoto Detachment also had a fierce battle with the ground troops of the Chinese Army because of this.

But in the end they failed because they were outnumbered. These mysterious tanks and chariots have all fallen into the hands of the Chinese army! "

"Bagaya Road!" Hata Shunroku obviously didn't believe it and was even more angry.

Immediately sternly shouted and ordered: "Order the aviation unit to take off all bombers immediately and destroy all the positions of the Chinese Army in the Hefei area!"

Tanabe Masaotake hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency, Commander, please calm down. It is getting dark now, and the air strike can only wait until tomorrow!"

Shunroku Hata glared at him angrily and roared: "Tomorrow? Tomorrow the China Army has already been prepared. Do you think the air strike by the aviation force will still be effective?"

Tanabe Masaobu was very speechless. At this time, if the bomber fleet is mobilized and rushed over, the Chinese army in the Hefei area will also be on guard.

Moreover, it was going to be dark soon, so how could we bomb?

It's just that he understands that Hata Junroku is angry, if he hates him like this, it will be over.

So he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and persuaded patiently: "General, the night is not conducive to the aviation operations, and the fighter plane has been lost.

Our top priority next should be to quickly mobilize ground troops and advance towards the Hefei area.

We must capture Hefei as soon as possible, open up our army's roundabout channels, and break through the Huaihe River defense line of the China Army.

Of course, capturing Hefei and wiping out the Chinese defenders in this area will also avenge the sacrifices of the Sakamoto detachment and the two reinforcements by the Imperial warriors! "

Another staff officer hastily followed suit and persuaded: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Chief of Staff is right, please think again."

After the two people's strong persuasion, Hata Shunroku finally calmed down.

He read the telegram in his hand again, gritted his teeth and asked, "How are the preparations for the reinforcements?"

Tanabe Masaotake hastily replied: "Reporting to General, the two contingents of more than [-] imperial warriors have completed their assembly and can set off tomorrow to march towards the Hefei area."

"Order them to set off tonight!
In addition, send electricity to the aviation unit and order them to take off all bombers early tomorrow morning to conduct air strikes inside and outside Hefei City to avenge the annihilation of the Sakamoto detachment! "

"Hai!" Masatake Tanabe and the Japanese military officer all bowed their heads at the same time.

"Order the task force to capture Hefei within three days and wipe out all the Chinese troops defending the area.

Afterwards, they quickly divided their forces to attack in a roundabout way north, and cooperated with the 13th and 9th Divisions to break through the defensive position of the Chinese Army on the north bank of the Huaihe River.

In order to get through our Central China Imperial Army, go north to Xuzhou's offensive channel! "

"Hai!" The two old devils paused again!
……

South of Hefei City, the battlefield.

After the battle, both Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo climbed out of the Sherman tank, and handed the tank to Xu Hu to drive back to the regiment headquarters to hide.

First Battalion Commander Sun Kui and Guard Company Commander Chen Qifeng and others walked over hand in hand with guns in hand.

"Tuan Zuo, this tank is really powerful!" Sun Kui saluted as soon as he met him, looking excitedly at the Sherman tank being driven by Xu Hu, and said with bright eyes.

In the battle just now, they all witnessed with their own eyes the powerful lethality of Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and others driving the tanks.

Facing the firepower of the devil's machine gun, the direct firepower of the tank's main gun was almost one shot at a time.

They were named and defeated one by one, and then the firepower of the vehicle-mounted machine gun showed its power even more.

For their offense, basically cleared all obstacles.

The smooth attack of the commando this time was an experience Sun Kui had never had before.

Chen Qifeng also nodded and said: "Yes, if every battalion is equipped with a few of these, it will be too easy to beat the little devils!"

Xu Qingfeng smiled and said: "This attack went smoothly, not only because of the support of tanks, but also because of the guys in your hands!"

Only then did Sun Kui nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, these Thompson submachine guns are really powerful!
The range and power are much stronger than the flower mechanism we used before.

Especially in the trenches, the lethality is simply one to ten! "

When Sun Kui said this, Chen Qifeng beside him couldn't help saying with some fear: "Fortunately, these American weapons didn't fall into the hands of the little devils.

Otherwise, we will suffer a big loss in this attack! "

"Well, that's right." Sun Kui nodded again.

Zhou Weiguo smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, time is running out, now is not the time to summarize combat experience, quickly lead people to clean the battlefield, evacuate this place, and have a good night's rest.

I estimate that the Japs will definitely conduct a retaliatory air raid tomorrow! "

Xu Qingfeng took it seriously and said: "Well, devils will pay for their grievances. After suffering such a big loss, they will definitely not let it go!"

After a pause, he immediately ordered to Sun Kui, Chen Qifeng and others: "Pass my order, and each battalion and company will quickly gather the bodies of the fallen soldiers of our regiment, and carry away the wounded as well.

Let the friendly forces clean up the battlefield! "

"Tuan Zuo, we don't want all the trophies of all these years?" Sun Kui and Chen Qifeng were a little bit reluctant.

Xu Qingfeng smiled and said: "That's right, no more, give them all!

Their equipment is poor, and their ammunition is not sufficient, and they urgently need to be replenished. Our Huben regiment is now very sufficient in this regard.

No need to fight with them! "

"Then we put in so much effort this time, isn't it for nothing?" Sun Kui asked in bewilderment.

Xu Qingfeng explained: "They are all anti-Japanese teams, what are the divisions, and I have never been a disadvantaged person!"

Zhou Weiguo also smiled and said: "You can rest assured, the first battalion commander. When did our regiment make a loss-making business?"

"Yes!" Seeing that the head and deputy head of the regiment said so, Sun Kui immediately took the order, and after saluting, he and Chen Qifeng led their own people to retreat.

Xu Qingfeng smiled at Zhou Weiguo and said, "Weiguo, you still need to make a trip to Chief Xu's place."

"Okay!" Zhou Weiguo understood, and immediately took the order to leave.

Xu Qingfeng asked Zhou Weiguo to find Xu Yuanquan, so he still wanted someone.

Now that there are ten Sherman tanks, of course they cannot be easily abandoned and abandoned.

Therefore, the tank battalion must be formed, and as soon as possible. ,

However, it is difficult to achieve this goal in a short period of time with only the manpower of the Tiger Regiment.

Therefore, I had to ask Xu Yuanquan to borrow someone.

There are tens of thousands of defenders in the Hefei area, many of whom are elite veterans of the former Central Army who escaped from Nanjing and other places.

It is not difficult to find some soldiers who can drive or even drive tanks.

In fact, Xu Qingfeng's requirements are very simple. Even if he can only drive, it is enough to have certain driving skills.

Because, people with certain driving skills can master the driving skills of tanks as soon as possible after being trained by him and Zhou Weiguo.

As long as the tank can be driven away, half of the problem will be solved.

If the battle is unfavorable, the tank will be driven away and evacuated, and it will not be too late to conduct artillery fire and infantry coordination training after waiting for a safe place.
