Chapter 192 Attacking Jiujiang

When the scouts sent by Duan Xiwen found a long dragon holding a torch opposite Yujin Mountain, the scouts felt uncomfortable in a sensitive mood, so they rushed back immediately. They had just walked back for more than 2 miles and met the third company of the first battalion of the Ma Qun of the vanguard company. The scouts said hurriedly: "Company Commander Ma, hurry up, the Japanese are going to rush to Yujin Mountain, and I saw a long fire dragon."

Ma Qun waved his hand without saying a word, "Brothers, run and prepare for battle." The third company quickly ran past the scouts. While running, the soldiers used bayonets and checked ammunition. As soon as they arrived at the mountain pass, they saw a long fire dragon coming straight to the mountain pass. Ma Qun shouted softly: "Prepare to fight, wait until the Japanese are approaching." "Crash" a low sound of pulling the gun bolt.

After a while, the long dragon came to the front, just 60 meters away from the mountain pass. The horse tribe pointed the mullet gun in his hand at a Japanese vanguard in front, and "bang", and the crisp sound of guns rang out of the quiet night sky. Almost at the same time, more than one hundred guns fired at the same time. The fireworks at the muzzle drew brilliant arcs in the dark night sky, and dense bullets rushed out of the muzzle and shot at the unprepared Japanese troops. A burst of gunfire passed, and the long dragon in front extinguished the torch, and a buzzing sound came.

The Japanese army quickly woke up from the initial chaos, quickly set up its formation, and rushed towards the Yamaguchi. The Japanese grenade launcher quickly opened fire. After one or two test shots, the third shot exploded accurately on the temporary position. The horse tribe quickly called on the brothers to avoid artillery fire, and noticed that the hidden machine gunners became the focus of the Japanese army's sniper targets. In one round of fire, all the heavy machine gunners were killed. The brave soldiers continued to take over the machine gun strafing. The light machine gun was better. According to the command of Company Commander Ma, the light machine gun basically changed the position with one point shot. Even so, the light machine gunners also sacrificed four.

Commander Duan Xiwen faintly heard the fierce gunfire coming from the front, and knew that it was the vanguard and the Japanese who had worked. The regiment commander ordered the marching speed to speed up, otherwise, Company Commander Ma would not be able to withstand it. All the officers and soldiers of the regiment accelerated the marching speed. In the dark night, only rustling footsteps and the panting of the soldiers were heard.

The Japanese soldiers attacked continuously at the Yamaguchi, and some of the Japanese had already rushed to the ** position, and the two sides began to fight hand-to-hand. During the training of the Youth Army, Yue Hanping considered that the soldiers were students and were not as cruel as the Japanese, so he brought the "Three Talents Fighting Formation" he organized and trained to the Youth Army. The young soldiers were not afraid of three enemies, but the Youth Army was almost not equipped with a big sword, so the effect of attack and killing was much lowered. These passionate young men were tenacious with the Japanese bayonet with their enthusiasm for killing the enemy. This courage of a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, which made the Japanese soldiers afraid of three points. After one round, the Chinese and ** people drove the Japanese off the position with bayonets.

Commander Duan Xiwen rushed to the mountain pass at the right time, immediately seized the favorable terrain, and set up artillery and machine gun positions. The Japanese attacked again and suddenly realized that the firepower of the Chinese team in front was more than twice as powerful, and rushed towards the Japanese like a fierce rain of bullets. More than 40 Japanese soldiers were knocked down, and they had to withdraw in the face of the powerful firepower.

Unfamiliar with the terrain, the Japanese army did not dare to fight at night. The captain had to lead the team to retreat more than ten miles, occupy several villages, and rest for one night. The commander of Duan Xiwen assigned three battalions to take turns to rest, always keeping one battalion to build fortifications. When the fish belly was exposed in the east, Duan Xiwen's delegation had already built solid and complete defensive fortifications in Yujin Mountain.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yue Hanping personally led the 201st Division and the Armored Regiment to Yujin Mountain. The 203rd Division still has 40 miles to reach Yujin Mountain. Yujin Mountain concentrated the forces of the two main divisions of the Youth Army. However, the terrain of Yujin Mountain restricted the development of ** troops. Not to mention that the two divisions advanced together, it would be difficult to deploy the forces of one regiment. Yue Hanping called the Commander of the Armored Regiment Shen Ruili, "Captain Shen, can your armored regiment advance with such a terrain?"

Shen Ruili thought for a moment, "Captain, our tanks and armored vehicles can only advance in one cyclical manner, not in parallel. However, our T-26 tank armor is only 15 mm thick, so it is no problem to deal with Japanese infantry, but I am afraid that Japanese will have anti-tank guns."

Yue Hanping thought to himself, it seemed that he had to improve the T-26 tank. If it really doesn't work, just use armor to be hung outside like a modern tank. However, there is no time to test it now. "Captain Shen, how about the modified armored vehicle?"

Shen Ruili shook his head, "Captain, the modified armored vehicle is only 14mm of armor, so it is no problem to deal with infantry light weapons. However, it is still insufficient to use as a rushing weapon."

At this time, Jiang Weiguo ran over and said, "Commander, don't worry, we have seized the Japanese Type 95 tank. This tank has 25 mm armor. We will use Japanese tanks to attack the forwards. If we don't do it against anti-tank guns, how can we be thicker than the T-26 tank?"

A sentence reminded Yue Hanping, yes, the riveting technology used by the Japanese tanks can be used to install armor outside, and the difficulty of transformation is not very high. So Yue Hanping asked Shen Ruili, "Captain Chen, do your tank repair company have armor or steel plates?"

Shen Ruili was stunned, "Captain, what's the use of?"

Yue Hanping smiled, "The Japanese tanks are riveting technology. I want to install a layer of protective armor or steel plates outside the tank. Isn't this equivalent to thickening the tank's protective armor? However, the speed of the tank may be reduced."

Jiang Weiguo was overjoyed, "Oh, Commander, you are so smart, why didn't we expect that this kind of transformation is not a lot of work, and the repair can be done completely." Only the second son of the Jiang family dared to say this, and Shen Ruili shook his head awkwardly.

Yue Hanping was completely different, and just ordered: "Okay, you guys do it quickly."

When a Japanese brigade learned that the main force of ** was arrived, he did not dare to attack recklessly. It would be good to be able to defend the position.

Repair and emergency processing, after the renovation, I found that it was really good. Soon the tank was covered with a layer of 6mm steel plate, and the project volume was not very large. Soon, all the twelve tanks seized by the Japanese were modified. The tank soldiers jumped into the cockpit and started the motor. The "boom" sounded, and the tank slowly started. The Japanese tank was a diesel engine with a stronger power. The tank's weight increased, and of course the speed was reduced a lot, but in this terrain, this speed was enough.

When Chinese tanks rumbled and drove carefully across the mountain pass, the most worried thing was that it did not happen. The Japanese retreated more than ten miles yesterday, but did not attack again today. There were no Japanese guards outside the mountain pass. After leaving the mountain pass, the terrain was slightly wider, and the tanks and armored vehicles could be used in parallel.

Shen Ruili urged the tank to accelerate, and the infantry division of the Youth Army quickly followed. Yue Hanping saw that his modified armored vehicle carried infantry in the Nanchang counterattack battle, which was very effective in the attack, so he followed the situation and established the first mechanized infantry regiment of the Youth Army. The regiment commander was Cao Yaozhang, the officer of the former Northeast Army Combat Vehicle Regiment. Because the large trucks had only more than 60, the number of mechanized infantry regiment was not large, with only about 800 people, but these soldiers were the best soldiers of the Youth Army, and their weapons were also two large items per person, a rifle, and a barge shell gun.

**Tanks and armored vehicles rumbling towards the Japanese positions. The Japanese army was frightened by these steel giants and rushed over more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles at once. The light weapons hit the armor and kept making a sound, but they could not hurt them. The tank troops did not entangle with the Japanese infantry, and passed through the flanks of the Japanese positions and drove to the north.

Yue Hanping's infantry division then attacked, and the Japanese army resisted stubbornly. After a while, the sound of the tank engine was heard from behind. The Japanese turned around in a hurry and were frightened. The armored corps turned out to be detoured behind them and suddenly attacked the Japanese defense line. The tanks drove in and fired guns. Each 45mm tank shell fell to the ground, and a piece of Japanese flesh and blood would be rolled up. The armored vehicles were not showing weakness, and they fiercely spit out the machine gun fire tongue, and the fierce firepower formed a fan-shaped barrier-clearing circle on the two wings of the tank.

Some of the Japanese infantry wanted to rush up with their bags to blow up the tanks, but unfortunately they were all killed by the machine guns on the armored vehicles. The tank soldiers excitedly increased the accelerator and rushed to the Japanese position. The rear of the position was not as strong as the front, nor did they have anti-tank trenches or trenches. In one breath, the Japanese tanks rushed to the Japanese position and wanted to crush the Japanese body with steel giant beasts. The infantry on the armored truck left the machine gunners, and the rest got out of the car and launched a thunderous offensive towards the Japanese.

There were Japanese soldiers who wanted to approach tanks and armored vehicles, but before they could run two steps, they were hit by dense machine gun bullets. The tanks were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, slaughtering Japanese soldiers at will. The infantry attacking head-on and head-on attacking took advantage of the attacks that the Japanese were beaten and rushed to the Japanese position under the cover of artillery fire. A large group of Japanese soldiers were killed in half an hour.

Shen Ruili's armored corps did not care about cleaning the battlefield, and according to the commander's order, he "attacked Jiujiang"

The 136th Japanese Brigade, which was marching behind, received an emergency telegram from the vanguard brigade and rushed over. At Mahuiling, Shen Ruili's tank van found a large group of Japanese soldiers marching on the road to Mahuiling. There were thousands of people in a storm. The tanks immediately reported the enemy situation with the phone. Shen Ruili was probably a large unit of the 136th Japanese Brigade. Since they encountered it, they could not miss this opportunity.
