Chapter 461 Invincible Bravery

After the old soldier finished speaking, there was a burst of joyful laughter from the nearby positions. Everyone had heard of the temper of the Independent Brigade. Although it was the first time that the two troops fought together, they all knew When grabbing things, their paws stretch out. They are famous dog paws in the Northwest Field Army. No one can snatch them, so they are well-known. ~~

Just as the soldiers on the ground stared wide-eyed at the attack by the armored units of the Independent Brigade, the front-line commander of the Kuomintang was also notified, and an officer stumbled in: "Commander, it's not good, the communist army is at the forward position A large number of tanks and armored vehicles were used to counterattack our attacking forces, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties."

The front-line commander of the Kuomintang gritted his teeth and said, "Well, in just over two years, the communist army can counterattack us with armored forces. The speed at which the communist army pulls troops is terrifying."

"Commander, don't care if it's scary or not, just make up your mind."

"Don't panic, the communist army has tanks, and it's not like we don't have them. Order the tank units attached to each army and division to rush up, destroy the communist tanks, break the blood and rush out. Tell the brothers that only by rushing out can we have Otherwise, they can only be beaten to death or captured by the communist army.”

Li Yuming, who was sitting in the tank, was still the same as before, leading the team to charge. Tanks are offensive weapons. When the battle starts, you have to charge forward. There is nothing to say.

At this time, a soldier shouted on the radio: "Battle commander, instructor, look, the enemy's tank is coming up."

Li Yuming looked in the direction pointed by the soldiers, didn't he? A group of tanks rushed over from behind the Kuomintang infantry group. Because of the narrow view in the tanks, it was not clear how many there were, but no matter what. There must be more than a dozen or 20 vehicles.

Li Yuming felt that his heart was in his throat all of a sudden, and he was nervous and excited. Since the Independent Brigade had tanks, Li Yuming and his tank troops have been constantly attacking and advancing. There have been many battles, but The opponents are all infantry and cavalry of the Kuomintang, and they have not competed head-on with the enemy's tanks.

In the past, the brigade commander was afraid of destroying the few tanks in the brigade. When using their tank troops, he was cautious and careful, cautious and cautious. He was not absolutely sure that they would not be allowed to go up. But it is different now. Now the independent brigade The tank battalion has more than 40 new and old tanks, large and small. This scale is not small, and it is time to fight face-to-face with the enemy's tanks.

Thinking of this, Li Yuming yelled on the radio: "Target, the enemy's tank directly in front, armor-piercing shells."

At the same time Li Yuming and the others discovered the target, the Kuomintang tanks also saw the armored troops of the People's Liberation Army rushing towards them. Most of these Kuomintang tank soldiers who had attended military academies were indeed not in vain. Not only did they spot the PLA tanks, they also fired a shot in advance .

As soon as a shell hit Li Yuming's car, it was about to hit the fastest one in the front. The Kuomintang tank soldiers also knew this truth.

The shell hit the front armor of Li Yuming's tank with a bang, and then flew out along the inclined armor plate.

This is because Li Yuming and the soldiers in the car were happy for a while, but also scared for a while. The confrontation between tanks and tanks pays attention to the enemy's discovery first, the enemy's fire first, and the first hit. It is very dangerous to be fired first by the enemy, and you may have to see Marx right away.

At this time, the communicator of the tank's vehicle radio rang in time, and it was the battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong who spoke: "Instructor, the enemy does not have heavy tanks, and they cannot penetrate our m4 armor. Your sharp knife platoons use the front armor to meet them, and meet them head-on."

Battalion Commander Jiang Tiexiong is an old tank soldier, he is very familiar with the performance of tanks and armored vehicles. He can understand the models of the tanks rushed by the Kuomintang on the opposite side at a glance on the battlefield. The first few are m3a3 Stuart, and the following models are There are all kinds of miscellaneous things, not only American ones, but also Japanese bean tanks captured in the early days. A large group of five-ton and eight-ton luans have been put together in a mess, but the M4 tanks like Li Yuming's are None.

This is not surprising. The tanks rushed by the Kuomintang belonged to the infantry unit, not full-time tank soldiers. They were not used intensively like Jiang Tiexiong and his tank regiment. This gave Li Yuming and the soldiers of the tank battalion an excellent opportunity. Chance.

Stuart's main gun has a caliber of only 37 mm. Tanks of this caliber can shoot infantry, bunkers, and firepower, but it is too difficult for them to fight against tanks like the M4.

The combat weight of the M4 tank is more than 30 tons, fully twice that of Stuart, and its armor protection capability is also much better than the former. The caliber of the artillery is 75mm, and there are two [-]mm machine guns on board.

The front armor of the tank is the thickest in the whole vehicle, and it also has the strongest protection ability. Jiang Tiexiong knew that the enemy's 37mm tank gun could not do anything to the M4 front armor, so Li Yuming and the others rushed forward and used the front armor to meet the enemy. It is also to use the side with the strongest armor protection ability to meet the enemy.

Battalion Commander Jiang Tiexiong's decision was completely correct. Although the m4 tank is very powerful, it is not without weaknesses. The fact that the enemy's 37mm tank gun can't penetrate the front armor does not mean that it can't penetrate the side armor and rear armor. That's why Jiang Tiexiong let the front A row of sharp knives went up to meet him.

The enemy's shells hit the vehicle body with a "stab" and slipped off. The result made the soldiers in the car burst into confidence. The situation is very clear. The enemy's shells can't penetrate our tanks. What else is there? As you said, just do it, and the soldiers answered Li Yuming loudly: "The armor-piercing projectile is ready and aimed well."

In the sound of Li Yuming's order, the body of the m4 tank sat back suddenly, and a shell was shot out with a bang, which was an armor-piercing shell designed to hit tanks and armored targets.

Dozens of tanks from both the enemy and the enemy are mixed together. The range of the so-called tank guns is useless at all. The firing range is within a few hundred meters, and the nearest one is less than 100 meters. Such a short distance is comparable to infantry There is no difference between fighting with a bayonet. Li Yuming watched the shell spin and hit it out, and then got in through the armor of the enemy tank, followed by a violent explosion.

The explosion in the enemy tank detonated the shells in the car. Amid the huge explosion, the turret of this tank was blown up to a height of several meters, and then fell heavily on the ground, the barrel drooping cha Into the ground, and then ignited a raging fire.

Four m4 tanks fired consecutively, and at close range, almost every shell killed a tank. The tanks and armored vehicles of the Kuomintang were shot into smoke and flames.

The performance of Li Yuming and the Sharp Knife Platoon made the soldiers admire to the extreme. The soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Old Chariots all saw it, and looked at the commanders of the People's Liberation Army. They stood up at the critical moment and were convinced.

The tanks and armored vehicles of the Tank Battalion of the Independent Brigade rushed forward behind the sharp knife platoon. When they saw the enemy tanks, they used tank guns to destroy them, and they used machine guns to sweep the infantry. Type, swarming up very beaten.

The tank battle between the two sides lasted only a few minutes before it was decided. The Kuomintang's tank guns had no effect on Li Yuming's sharp knife platoon, which made the enemy's morale extremely depressed. There is nothing wrong with hitting the tanks of the People's Liberation Army, so how can we fight against them?Go fuck and run.

The remaining few vehicles turned around and ran away, and this run was broken. The escape of the tanks is contagious, and the infantry who followed behind also turned around and ran back when they saw this situation.

Li Yuming and Jiang Tiexiong were delighted to see the Kuomintang tanks turning around and running back. Of course they should be happy that they won a big victory in the first frontal battle with the enemy's tank troops. The performance of the soldiers is nothing to say, they are all good , What are you waiting for now, chase after.

More than 100 tanks and armored vehicles rolled towards the Kuomintang troops like a rolling iron stream, and tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns fired non-stop.

The tank troops of the Kuomintang only persisted for about ten minutes before being defeated. The tank battalion of the Independent Brigade took advantage of this opportunity to use the high speed of the armored vehicles to rush into the infantry group.

The scene was very miserable. The infantry charged by the Kuomintang carried only infantry light weapons and had no equipment to deal with tanks and armored vehicles. This made the tank battalion feel like no one was in the middle of the army. The crowd, and then the track will be crushed and there will be plasma all over the place.

Li Yong kept observing the situation on the battlefield with binoculars from behind. He was relieved to see the Kuomintang tanks and infantry turning around and running back. The besieged troops of the Kuomintang were doomed.

The main force of the People's Liberation Army is about to encircle. Under such circumstances, the Kuomintang army can only escape if it breaks through a hole, and there is no way to survive if it runs back. With 20 horses firmly restrained, the victory in the Battle of Fumei has undoubtedly been achieved.

Li Yong hurriedly ordered on the radio: "All rush forward, capture more prisoners and hand in more guns. If there are good things, you must pull them over. Hurry up."

The large troops of the field army followed up not far behind, and the officers of the Kuomintang at all levels had lost control of the troops. This is an excellent opportunity for the troops to attack.

The five infantry battalions and reconnaissance battalions of the Independent Brigade, including the brigade headquarters and the supply battalion, all rushed up, and then the first battalion commander Li Jiangguo jumped into the command vehicle of the battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong. Li Jiangguo wiped his head The sweat on his face said: "Old Jiang, can you slow down your tanks a little bit? The brigade commander asked our two battalions to cooperate with each other. My soldiers are about to outrun the tanks. You and Li Yuming If you eat meat, you must let us drink some soup."
