Chapter 762 The Classic Battle of Cold Cannon—Ambush Tank Company! (one)

Back to the current battle situation.

Li Yunlong believed that the devils would definitely transport food through the railway line, so he asked Zhao Gang to lead the main force to cover the independent regiment on the flanks of Yangquan according to the order of the brigade headquarters.

As for himself, he led the tank company and secretly went to the vicinity of the devil's transport railway line, trying to make a move and wait for the rabbit.

He Dahai, the commander of the tank company who knew Li Yunlong's thoughts, immediately said:
"Regimental Commander, if our tank company fights head-on, these seven crispy tanks will definitely not be able to withstand the little devil's artillery fire."

"But if we can lurk all the way there and catch the little devil by surprise, then the power of our tank company will be maximized."

"We often deal with devils with infantry ambushes. This time, let the little devils taste what it's like to be ambushed by tank troops."

It can be said that He Dahai's idea coincides with Li Yunlong's. What Lao Li likes to do most is to dispatch surprise soldiers.

From Lao Li's point of view, what's the point of fighting a regular battle?
It is to fight the classic surprise attack that wins more with less, so as to show his ability of Lao Li.

But this is a big matter, Li Yunlong is not stunned, he looked directly into He Dahai's eyes, and asked, "Are you sure?"

He Dahai, who has never lost the domineering military spirit, nodded without hesitation.

"Regiment leader, don't worry, our tank company has practiced latent training in the mountains during this time."

"As for us, this time, it's like that ghost, touching the vicinity of the little devil's railway line, and caught him off guard."

"Okay, let's fight like this!" Li Yunlong gave the order. He gave full play to his unsuspecting thinking and handed over the command of the tank company to He Dahai, the more professional commander of the tank company.

Li Yunlong, who has never been afraid of danger, followed him personally, and wanted to witness the battle of his new tank company of the second regiment.

He Dahai, who received Li Yunlong's military order, began to deploy this battle.

His first move was to do a fairly good job of camouflaging his three tanks and four armored vehicles.

"The turret, the roof, including the side armor and the front and rear armor, are all covered with dead branches. It must be separated by 50 meters. At first glance, I thought it was a bush."

"The loose road surface should deal with the ruts in time."

The soldiers of the tank company moved quickly under the command of He Dahai.

Soon, three tanks and four armored vehicles were completely covered by luxuriant branches.

Such a well-camouflaged tank, if it is hidden in a mountainous area, surrounded by green branches and leaves, it is not easy to detect it from a certain distance.

Soon after, everything was ready, and after the tanks and armored vehicles had enough ammunition, they set off towards their destination.

That is a major railway transportation line to Ping'an County.

As early as in the war room, Li Yunlong analyzed that if the Japanese army transported supplies to Yangquan, this transportation route was the most likely choice.

When secretly moving towards the predetermined railway line area, according to He Dahai's deployment, the three tanks and four armored vehicles did not move forward in a straight line in a horizontal line, which would be too easy to expose.

He ordered two tanks to be used as a group. When a group of tanks and armored vehicles were moving, the remaining tanks and armored vehicles should remain still and be alert to their surroundings at all times.

"Attention all cars, the second group continues to move forward!"

Like a bunch of advancing bushes, after the two tanks of the first combat group stopped, He Dahai gave the order for the second group to move forward.

Originally, the means of communication between tanks was nothing more than gesture communication, military flag communication, and messenger communication.

But Kong Jie believes that these traditional communications will reduce the communication efficiency of the tank, and it will easily lead to exposure and be attacked by the Japanese Air Force.

Therefore, Kong Jie spent some money to get a lot of American-style walkie-talkies from John, so that the tank troops can communicate with each other when they are fighting.

In this battle, the tank company of the New Second Regiment has three tanks, including two Japanese-style [-]-type cavalry tanks, one [-]-type cavalry tank, and four armored vehicles, including the [-]-type armored vehicles and [-]-type armored vehicles commonly used by devils. One-type armored vehicles and the like.

According to the standard division of tank combat members, He Dahai divides the tank crew inside the tank into the gunner, loader, driver, and commander according to the different tasks they undertake.

Of course, since the Devils are far behind Western countries in the field of armored vehicles, and the Japanese tanks seized by the Independence Regiment in Dafengzhuang are mainly cavalry tanks, and very few medium tanks were captured.

The internal capacity of these light tanks of the Japanese army is very small.

For example, the standard crew capacity inside the Type [-] Cavalry Tank of the Little Devil is three, while that of the Type [-] Cavalry Tank is only two.

These tanks were rarely equipped with tank guns.

So similar gunners and loaders are completely unnecessary.

The main load weapons are heavy machine guns and light machine guns.

It's just that a general like Li Yunlong who has a special liking for artillery, how could he watch helplessly that this iron bastard doesn't even have a cannon?

So after Kong Jie sent the tanks and armored vehicles over, Li Yunlong ordered the new second regiment to develop the repair shop for more than a year, and installed some artillery on the devil's armored vehicles and tanks in some simple and practical ways.

These artillery are naturally not tank guns, but some flat-fire guns that have been modified by repairing equipment.

Anyway, in Li Yunlong's view, as long as it is a cannon fired from a tank, no matter what kind of cannon it is, it is a good cannon that can kill little devils.

When sending the tanks and armored vehicles over, Kong Jie communicated with Li Yunlong on the phone.

"Old Li, the strength of a tank does not lie in its fireproof armor and ferocity of firepower, but in its ability to advance rapidly, making the artillery self-propelled."

"Think about it, it's like a flat-firing gun. If it can reach any point on the battlefield with the speed of a tank, wouldn't such a weapon be terrifying?"

"So no matter whether it is an armored vehicle or a tank, if we can attach some artillery that adapts to the caliber to the armored vehicle and tank, it will become a smart and fast self-propelled artillery that is more suitable for mountain combat."

"That is the ultimate direction for our Eighth Route Army to play tank warfare in mountainous areas."

Therefore, the tank company of the new second regiment formed by Li Yunlong, the so-called tanks and armored vehicles, are actually a bit nondescript in appearance.

Li Yunlong ordered that the place where the machine gun should have been installed was modified and erected some small-caliber flat-fire guns.

Another example is the armored vehicle of the little devil. The original machine gun perforation on the top was directly transformed into a turret for a flat-firing gun.

It is guaranteed that the entire armored vehicle has the firepower of heavy machine guns, as well as the firepower of tank guns.

The soldiers were immersed in the driving of the tanks, and Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, also lamented the time when the tanks were such a powerful weapon.

The tank team passed through a relatively gentle valley area.

Suddenly, the roar of an aircraft engine came from far away in the sky, He Dahai's face changed slightly, and he immediately gave an order through the walkie-talkie:
"Air defense, all vehicles immediately enter air defense preparations!"

After He Dahai's order was issued, the soldiers of the tank company moved quickly. The tank soldiers who were originally nested inside the tanks and armored vehicles quickly and orderly evacuated from the tanks and armored vehicles, and hid nearby the armored vehicles and tanks. In the ravine or under the soil slope, quickly cover yourself with the help of the surrounding branches and dead trees.

This is the air defense preparation action that the tank company usually trains.

For tanks, the most threatening thing is nothing more than the bombing of aircraft.

So once you notice the movement of enemy aircraft.

When the tank itself does not have anti-aircraft equipment, such as anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, what the soldiers have to do is to quickly get out of the car body, and then hide nearby.

Wait for the camouflage of the tank itself to evade detection by enemy aircraft.

Taking ten thousand steps back, if it is accidentally exposed, the Japanese bombing targets are mainly tanks, and the tank soldiers who evacuated in time have guaranteed their lives because they evacuated in advance.

After a while, the roar of the plane intensified above the heads of Li Yunlong and his party, and gradually faded away.

He Dahai, who was hiding not far from Li Yunlong, breathed a sigh of relief.

"During this period, the little devil has stepped up his reconnaissance of the railway line along the way. Captain, judging from the situation just now, it is a reconnaissance plane in the devil's area!" He Dahai analyzed.
