Chapter 257 The Iron Armored Train II of the Battle of Xifu

Under the command of Commander Zhao, the commando of the Second Regiment used the cover of artillery fire to blow up the special running rails of the armored train, so that the line that the armored train could run became shorter and shorter. (Apex Fiction hand-written novel)

With the uninterrupted efforts of the soldiers, the armored car was forced to a railway line less than 300 meters long. At this time, the armored car was like a wild animal trapped in a cage. He grinned his teeth, but there was no big threat anymore.

The independent regiment is the reserve team 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 battle of the old second regiment. The commanders of the telescope were all observing the actions of the soldiers of the second regiment.

Li Jiangguo, the first battalion commander, watched and muttered: "Attention, pay attention to concealment, and pay attention to the terrain and features when attacking. Oh, are you looking for the right point before bombing?"

His muttering made Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion beside him, anxious: "Old Li, what are you yelling, this one can't do that, that can't do it, you can't do it, go up."

Li Jiangguo: "Ma Changsheng, do you think I don't want to go up? I'm so anxious that I'm on fire. Isn't there no order? If there is an order, I will go up in the morning."

Ma Changsheng ignored Li Jiangguo, and followed what he said just now: "Lao Li, I went to the regiment headquarters several times and asked to take our battalion to the top, but the regiment leader sent me back. Gao Xiang is good. I didn’t go there once and let the regiment leader send it over, hey, I have no tricks at all, and our third battalion seems to have nothing to do with Baoji this time.”

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

"I also know this truth, but I just don't believe it. All of your battalions have made great contributions. Only our third battalion basically works every time. It's either the second echelon or the reserve team. I, the battalion commander, don't stand in front of the soldiers. It’s so good to look up, I don’t know when I can turn over.”

Li Jiangguo: "Old Ma, don't worry, boy. I heard from our regiment leader that this time the battle against Baoji will not be smooth sailing. There may be a big battle to be fought in the future. Don't look at the 76th Division in Baoji. In this way, only the 144th Brigade and local miscellaneous brands are left in the city, but Hu Zongnan is likely to send reinforcements to counterattack. What are the armored cars prepared by our regiment? Don’t look at what the regiment leader didn’t say, but it must be for If you are preparing for a big battle, you should rest assured that there must be a big battle to be fought, and your three battalions will be credited for it."

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

Not to mention what Li Jiangguo and Ma Changsheng were talking about, seeing that the line was blown up by the soldiers of the Second Regiment, Li Yong happily called the Commander Zhao of the Second Regiment on the walkie-talkie: "Regimental Commander, let Gao Xiang and the others go up, use the 76nd Infantry The artillery came close to attack and knocked out its armored vehicle, and Xu Bao, the commander of the [-]th Division, and his headquarters were on this armored vehicle."

Li Yong hurriedly called out the headquarters of the 76th Division on the armored vehicle. It stands to reason that Li Yong didn't want to shout like that. If someone asked you later, how did you know that Xu Bao's headquarters was on this vehicle?Our leader Li was afraid that he would not be able to explain it, but at this moment he forgot about it in a hurry.

Maybe Li Yong was thinking too much. In the fierce battle, who would think how he knew? Commander Zhao was happy when he heard Li Yong say that Xu Bao might be on the armored vehicle. How did he know, no matter how he knew, as long as it was true.

Gao Xiang's artillery battalion belongs to the independent regiment, but now it is assigned to the old 2nd regiment, so they must obey the command of the [-]nd regiment.

Commander Zhao shouted on the walkie-talkie: "Got it, Da Yong", then turned his head and said to Gao Xiang: "How is it? The headquarters of the 76th Division is on the car, destroy his armored car, is there any grasp?"

Gao Xiang is an old Eighth Route Army soldier with great combat experience, and now he is full of confidence in his artillery battalion: "Regimental Commander, you are optimistic and promise to get rid of this big guy. What did our regiment have before? Pure millet plus rifles, Even a few bullets are considered treasures, and it is not a small gain to capture two grenades after a battle, and now we have a strong army and sufficient ammunition."

After listening to Gao Xiang's words, Captain Zhao also knew that this guy had a good life, he had goods in his hands, he had confidence in his heart, and he spoke with great drive and confidence.

But what Gao Xiang said was true. He was really poor when he was in the old 2nd regiment. Now look at the artillery battalion. There are more than 40 artillery pieces, large and small. No matter how well built, it is also necessary to have confidence.

The [-] infantry artillery is a weapon seized from the hands of the little devils. Whether it is the Kuomintang troops or the Communist Party troops, they have been equipped with a large number of them. Effectively provide direct fire support to attacking soldiers.

During World War II, the Japanese army’s army weapons and equipment were not favored by later generations, such as the [-]-type rifle, the crooked light machine gun, and the [-]-type heavy machine gun, as well as the pistols equipped by officers who were dubbed by the Chinese people as bastard boxes, etc. Although it is well-known, there is still a big gap compared with the weapons of some industrially developed countries at the same time.

The generally favored and distinctive weapons include grenades that can be carried by individual infantry soldiers and the Type [-] infantry cannon that can be towed by mules and horses.

After firing a few smoke bombs, the soldiers divided into several combat groups, and under the cover of the smoke, pushed several infantry guns forward until they reached the position where they could shoot directly at the armored vehicles.

The smoke bomb covered the open space in front of the armored vehicle in white smoke, and the soldiers in the vehicle couldn't see anything at once. The shooting holes of the armored vehicle had limited sightlines, so it was even more difficult to look out now. If you don't, you have to shoot blindly.

The indiscriminate shooting of the soldiers in the vehicle immediately reduced the threat to the attacking troops. The soldiers of the artillery battalion hid behind the bulletproof panels, pushed and loaded the bullets, fired, and completed several actions within ten days.

The high-speed shells hit the outer armor of the armored vehicle in an instant, followed by a violent explosion. The armored vehicle has armor protection, but the protection is bullets, so there is nothing to do with the shells.

Direct shooting at such a close range is not to mention an armored vehicle, even a tank with thicker armor has to be shot.

The explosion of several shells made the armored vehicle stop suddenly, and the armor next to the shells was completely lifted up. The armored vehicle whose armor was blown off was like a crab whose shell was peeled off. The meat and crab are yellow.

A lot of people in the car were killed or injured, and those who didn’t get blown up were stunned by the explosion. Most of the commandos of the Second Regiment were veterans with rich combat experience, and they didn’t need a commander to see this scene. He yelled and rushed forward.

While rushing forward, the submachine gun in his hand fired, using short-range firepower to suppress the Kuomintang soldiers in the car who might wake 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 grinningly, his head was buzzing, and Xu Bao, who staggered a few steps, finally figured out who he was Now, I am the commander of **, and I want to guard Baoji. This guy pulled out a pistol from his waist, and shouted hoarsely: "Brothers, brothers, I fought with the Communist army. If I beat the Communist army back, I will definitely give you a promotion." .”

But his words were no longer effective, and the people in the car were all shocked. Even if they were not dead, no one would take his words seriously. My life is going to be ruined, so why not be an official? Yes, those who were not killed also lay in the car and pretended to be confused.

After shouting a few words, Master Xu Baoxu walked towards the gap opened by the shell, and shot a few shots outside with the officer's gun while walking.

The soldiers of the commando charged and suppressed the fire with their submachine guns. Seeing that there were still people shooting in the blasted gap, they immediately blocked it with firepower. Several grenades were thrown nearby.

The fighters of the Second Regiment Commando have a high level of fighting quality, and they are also very organized in battle. They don't rush with their heads down, but attack and advance in the form of combat groups. One group uses submachine guns to cover, and the other group immediately throws grenades. .

Xu Bao, who walked near the gap where the armored vehicle was blasted, felt a coldness in his chest, and then a heat, and looked down again, only to see a few bloody arrows spurting out from his chest. This guy knew that he was shot. The gun was fired, and it was not a single shot. The human instinct was to cover the wound with his hand, but it could be covered there, and blood still sprayed out from his fingers.

Before he could think any further, a grenade exploded under his feet again. With a "boom", the Kuomintang lieutenant general guarding Baoji couldn't think about getting promoted and getting rich and smoke from the ancestral grave. Repeated Youhun got up from Xu Bao who was blown to the ground, and staggered to report to his Commander Hu and Chairman Jiang.

None of the soldiers of the commando knew who the person who was killed at the door of the car was. Following the explosion of the grenade, they rushed into the armored car that was still showing off its might.

"Raise your hands, hand in your guns and don't kill, and see if there are any survivors." Just as the commando rushed forward, the troops behind the second regiment also followed.

Head Zhao and Gao Xiang also hurried over, shouting as they ran, "Go up, Xu Bao is in the car, I don't know if he can catch a job." '
