Glorious Mission 1937

On the night of October 1941, 10, there was no moon and it was overcast.At eleven o'clock at night, there was a light rain in the sky, and the biting cold wind and freezing rain caused great difficulties for the march.

There were no complete roads on the grassland, and there were only two shallow traces, which looked like roads. These were made by the herdsmen's cars. Since no one walked all year round, the real face was covered by weeds long ago. .Ordinary vehicles can walk normally, but in this kind of weather, if the armored troops walk on such a road, the problem will be serious.

On this road, vehicles often get stuck in the soft soil, and the soldiers and the vehicles in front of them have to push and drag to barely move. In addition, the visibility is poor, so the troops stop and go, and the speed is very slow.After three hours of marching in the rain, the drizzle turned into a downpour, and the pace of the march slowed down, as did morale.

In the combat command vehicle, Li Daniu asked a little irritably, "Master, how far is it from that small village?"

Although old Battelle could understand simple Chinese, he couldn't speak it. After thinking for a while, a string of Mongolian words came out of his mouth. Li Daniu frowned when he heard it, and had no choice but to turn his eyes to Bao Xinghua, waiting for his translation. .

Bao Xinghua knew that his partner had limited patience, so he translated: "Pass the hill ahead, and then go south for another 60 miles and you will be there!"

"60 miles is 2 kilometers! At our current marching speed, it will take at least one and a half hours. It is now 3 o'clock in the morning, and it will be around 5 o'clock in the morning when we arrive at Bagesi Gacha. The Japanese army's logistics base is far from Bagesiga Zha is less than an hour away, where we rest for an hour. Then continue to march, and it should be after 5 o'clock when we reach Namusi. [-] o'clock is the time when people are most likely to get sleepy, and there is heavy rain as a cover , we can completely catch the Japanese army by surprise!" Li Daniu analyzed.

Bao Xinghua nodded and said, "Because of the heavy rain, we are nearly three hours behind schedule, and the morale of the troops has also dropped. It is beneficial to end the battle early."

"Well, let's do this. We will go into battle as soon as we arrive at the place. We will rest after destroying the Japanese army's logistics base!" Li Daniu said.

Another hour.According to the words of Papa Bateer, after passing the hillside in front, there are the ruins of Bagesy Gacha. Although the Gacha has been abandoned, the small spring inside is still there.Once the troops get there, they can take a short rest.Soldiers can eat some dry food and drink some water.You can also add some water and oil to the vehicle. There are already more than a dozen tanks that have broken down along the way. Take this opportunity to repair and repair them.

However.Just when the soldiers were imagining that the life of hot water and dry food was about to come, a cannon shot suddenly came from the front.

There was a "boom", the sound was a bit dull, not like that made by a T34 tank or a Joffre light tank, coupled with the sound of rain and wind, everyone didn't realize that the battle had already started.

However, the sound of fierce firefights and the endless explosions that followed shocked everyone. This was not an accident, but a real firefight. Although everyone was surprised that they would encounter enemies in such a place, However, they got off the car in a hurry, assembled according to the queue, and prepared to fight.

In the command car, Li Daniu and Bao Xinghua were also taken aback. Damn, what's going on? Could it be that they encountered Japanese devils?

Not likely, not to mention that there are no roads in the backcountry here, and the Japanese ate shit and stationed here.Besides, it was pouring rain, how could the Japanese appear here without going to the village or back.

"Xiao Li, hurry up and ask what's going on ahead..." Li Daniu roared loudly.

"Reporter, it's the Pioneer Battalion that has encountered devils, and it's already turned on!" Before Li Daniu could finish speaking, Li Gang replied loudly.

"Really devils? How many are there? Do you know which devil army it is?" Li Daniu asked hastily.

"Battalion Commander Wang said that what they encountered was an armored brigade of the Devils, and there were a lot of lights not far away. It should be an armored force of the Devils. The exact strength and designation are unclear!" Li Gang said loudly.

Li Daniu looked at the map and said: "Oops, this should be the devil's chariot division. Judging from their marching direction, it is very likely that they want to detour and attack our army. I didn't expect to meet us here." gone."

Bao Xinghua frowned and said: "The little devils are so fucking cunning. If we do this, no matter whether we can wipe out these little devils, their logistics base must be prepared. Easy!"

Li Daniu smiled and said, "Old Bao, do you really think the commander asked us to attack the little devil?"

"what do you mean?"

"Old Bao, have you ever seen a sneak attack with tens of thousands of people? Commander, it is obvious that it is best to sneak attack. If you can't sneak attack, attack by force. All in all, this logistics base of the Japanese army must be destroyed! And I think the commander must have a backup somewhere." Either let us go back and attack the little devil, or directly take down Shuangliao!" Li Daniu said.

"So that's the case, I was still wondering, so many troops went to sneak attack, so the commander had this idea!" Bao Xinghua suddenly realized.

"Forget it, quickly think about how to defeat the little devil on the opposite side. You know what Wang Han reported. This may be a complete tank division of the Japanese army. Although the performance of the little devil's tank is not as good as our tank , but the quality of their soldiers is better than our tank soldiers, and this place is relatively close to their logistics base, and the Japanese army can come to reinforce them at any time, so I must make a quick decision!" Li Daniu said.

"Yes, I suggest that our army use armored soldiers to clear the way, followed by mechanized infantry, and the whole army presses up. Anyway, the place here is spacious enough for us to toss around!" Bao Xinghua said.

"I think it will work, Laobao, you give the order!" Li Daniu said.

"it is good!"

Following the order of Bao Xinghua, the commander of the First Armored Division, the First Armored Division of the Eighth Theater and the armored regiment of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Mobile Corps immediately dispatched to kill the battlefield not far away, and all the infantry who were ready to go followed. Cooperate with armored forces to fight.

On the other side of the battlefield, Isamu Yokoyama, the head of the Japanese Army's First Division, was also taken aback. He did not expect to encounter Chen Feng's armored troops at this place.

Nima, here is only more than 30 kilometers away from the logistics base of the Imperial Japanese Army. With the marching speed of the armored troops, if the road conditions are good, it will only take half an hour. The Chinese army, I am afraid that the logistics base of the Imperial Japanese Army will be taken away tomorrow. The 10,000+ army on the front line has no supplies and no ammunition. How can it be the opponent of the Chinese army.

If the 10,000+ army is defeated, then the Eighth Division in Tongliao City will be in danger. It may cause a chain reaction at that time, and it is not impossible to lose more than 20 troops in World War I.

Lieutenant General Yokoyama Yong broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of this, and immediately sent a report to the headquarters of the first front army, reporting the situation they encountered and his personal guess to the headquarters of the first front army.At the same time, the troops were ordered to immediately launch an attack on the opposite Chinese army.

Heng Shanyong judged that Chen Feng's army would not have too many troops for sneak attacks, at most one armored regiment or one mechanized infantry brigade, because the nearest Chinese stronghold to Namusi was also hundreds of kilometers away, and the march of the armored troops Due to the speed and the consumption of ammunition and fuel, it is impossible for the Chinese army to have too many people.So Yokoyama didn't even think about it, and directly ordered the troops to attack in an all-round way. It would be best to wipe out the Chinese army if they directly defeated it.

In this way, the two most elite armies of China and Japan collided. The main force of the Chinese side was an armored division and a mechanized infantry division, while the Japanese army had an infantry division and a tank division. On the vast grassland in Suidong, under the cover of heavy rain, the most tragic encounter was launched.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Da da da!!!"

The collision of the armored forces was tragic, especially the collision of hundreds of thousands of armored vehicles and tanks. When the reinforcements from both sides rushed to the battlefield where the battle took place first, there were only [-] to [-] tanks on the battlefield. In the rampage and shooting at each other, instead of tanks being smashed into scrap iron, there are destroyed tanks everywhere around the battlefield. Even such a heavy rain cannot extinguish the burning tanks.

The reinforcements from both sides had no time to think about it at all, so they could only passively go into battle.At the same time, due to the heavy rain, the entire battlefield was in chaos, and it was impossible to see who had the upper hand and which was at a disadvantage, and it was impossible to count their respective casualties. All are fighting in chaos, and all the tankers are mechanically looking for tanks that are different from their own, and then mechanically fire.

The first to go into battle was an armored battalion of the Chinese army and a tank brigade of the Japanese army, followed by a tank regiment of the Chinese army, followed by an armored division, while the Japanese army consisted of the entire tank division and A tank regiment belonging to the [-]st Infantry Division.

In the next half hour, the number of armored vehicles put into the battlefield by both sides exceeded 1400. At this time, the artillery carried by both sides was useless, because in this case, the enemy could neither be seen nor divided. Clearing up their own people, so the artillerymen on both sides were in tacit understanding. They retreated a few kilometers and closely monitored the entire battlefield, but they did not participate in the battle.

The infantry also chose to retreat, although both sides decided to put the whole army on the ground and make a quick decision.But neither Bao Xinghua nor Heng Shanyong thought that the opponent's armored force would be so huge. It was not ten or hundreds of vehicles, but hundreds of them. If the cars of both sides were counted, it would be thousands In such a large-scale armored battle, the role of infantry is negligible, even the bazooka unit of the Eighth Theater, because on a chaotic battlefield, especially on a rainy night with such low visibility, infantry rushing into the battlefield can only It will mess up the armor, or be crushed to a pulp.
