Chapter 952 Lure the Enemy

"Bah! Did I get provoked just by saying a few words?" Zhou Qingfeng sat in the driver's seat of his tank and drove forward in the dark. He looked angrily at the long line of convoys behind him, full of weirdness.

Although there was a last quarter moon in the sky, the night scene was still gray. The moonlight is not too bright, and it is difficult to see anything from a distance. When Zhou Qingfeng and others touched the periphery of the airport, what they saw was the wilderness where the lights were blacked out.

The 116th Division of the Volunteer Army is in charge of the Eighth Regiment of the U.S. Cavalry, which is mainly attacking Yunshan. From the current point of view, it is relatively smooth. Especially after taking the US military position at the three-way intersection, it completely trapped a regiment of enemies.

When Zhou Qingfeng suggested directly attacking the U.S. military's temporary airport, the division headquarters was very interested in it. It's just that the three regiments of the 116th Division each had their own tasks, and in the end they had to cobble together a temporary battalion to do the job. To put it bluntly, this is also a test.

The deputy commander in charge of commanding this temporary task force battalion was very enthusiastic. When formulating the combat plan, he also emphasized the advantages of close combat and night combat, and launched an attack after approaching the enemy. As a result, not to mention Zhou Qingfeng's disapproval of this idea, the commanders and fighters of the first battalion of the 347th Regiment shook their heads one by one.

The piles of corpses of volunteers outside the three-way intersection have already demonstrated a cruel fact that it is impossible to rely on light infantry to attack the enemy's strong positions with superior firepower, which is tantamount to suicide.

Now there are at least a dozen tanks in the U.S. temporary airport, as well as the artillery attached to the regiment headquarters. The firepower is stronger than the position at the three-way intersection. But this time without Zhou Qingfeng, a shit-stirring stick, making trouble internally, and relying on more than 300 infantry to attack the enemy's defense line, I'm afraid they won't even be able to touch the edge.

what is it now?

The deputy head used the captured US military vehicles and equipment on the spot to transform the temporary task force into a fast column. He pulled a few large-caliber mortars and more than a dozen heavy machine guns that he had just acquired, and he felt that the firepower was strong enough to fight head-on with the US military.

roll!

What the hell kind of idea?

No matter how strong this firepower is, can it be stronger than Lao Mei? Zhou Qingfeng pushed back the deputy commander's blind command on the spot, saying directly that the other party didn't know how to fight the Americans.

A small squad leader told him that he didn't know how to fight, and the deputy squad leader was so angry that smoke came out of his orifices. It's just that Zhou Qingfeng has made great achievements again and again at this moment, and he is in the limelight. He has to calm down and ask this kid who can drive tanks what's his idea?

"Comrade Xiao Zhou, it was your suggestion to attack the US regiment headquarters, now tell me how you want to fight?" asked the deputy head of the regiment.

The Turtle Army has the habit of actively listening to the opinions of the front-line soldiers. Zhou Qingfeng pointed to the map and said: "We are not enough in numbers and firepower, but we have the initiative. We can harass and lure the Americans to send troops out.

As long as we annoy the Americans, they will definitely organize tank detachments to drive us out again. At that time, hehehe..., have you heard of 'Black Gun'? "

"Luring the enemy, laying an ambush, do you still need to teach me this simple tactic? I thought you boy Zhou had some clever tricks, this is what we left over from playing. At most, the enemy's tanks are really difficult to deal with." After listening to Zhou Qingfeng The deputy head snorted coldly, and he must be dissatisfied on his face.

For a makeshift force, the simpler the tactics, the better. After the basic plan was drawn up, Zhou Qingfeng immediately hid behind a ridge about 800 meters away from the airport with his tank. The tall "Sherman" only exposed a turret, and there were some grass and groves in front of the turret.

And in the airport, Chief of Staff Holmes, who was about to wait for dawn, was still in constant contact with the various troops on the Yunshan battlefield, trying to gather them all to him. But at this moment, the sky suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, and several flares illuminated the entire airport.

"Who fired the flares?" Covered by flares in the dark night, it was similar to being naked in broad daylight. Chief of Staff Holmes hurried out of the command tent.

The officer of the regiment headquarters was also nervous, and immediately reminded: "It is very likely that the ** army has moved around us and is about to launch an attack."

"Order the airfield defenses to stand ready, our enemies are fond of close group charges.

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff is looking forward to a hearty massacre.

But the first thing that appeared was not the infantry attacking on foot, but the mortar shells one after another. A large number of mortars and enough shells were seized at the three-fork intersection. The volunteers had a rare luxury and bombarded the US military airport desperately.

There are instructions from the flares, and the shells of the task force battalion are very accurate. Although the physical strength of the logistics and cooking veterans who Zhou Qingfeng doubted about their combat effectiveness had declined, they had a lot of combat experience. They were divided into multiple mortar teams, dispersed their attacks, and moved their positions after a few shots.

The U.S. military’s airport could not be moved, nor could the defensive positions laid down by Chief of Staff Holmes. The U.S. soldiers stationed here could only hide behind the positions and suffer shells, and those who were bombed complained endlessly.

His Excellency the Chief of Staff immediately ordered the howitzers stationed at the airport to counterattack and shoot suspicious targets in coverage. But he didn't expect that the several mortars that were harassing outside were equipped with trucks, which could not only load ammunition to ensure continuous firepower, but also be able to drag the portable mortars around.

After fighting for a long time, the American soldiers on the defensive position couldn't stand it. The 107mm M1 mortar has a long range and great power, and its curved fire makes it difficult to fight back. Only a dozen people were killed or injured, and they strongly demanded that the chief send tanks to expel the enemies in the night.

Chief of Staff Holmes was also worried that his command tent would be visited by shells, so he ordered his two tank platoons and an infantry company to launch a small-scale counterattack in an effort to ensure the safety of the airport position.

Four 'Greyhound' armored reconnaissance vehicles rushed out of the airport position with a whimper, forming an attack fan with an interval of more than 20 meters. The tank behind also drove to extreme speed, creaking and catching up quickly.

Two tank platoons consisted of eight tanks, split into two groups to form a pincer offensive. The following infantry company was also driving armored vehicles and trucks, which had an absolute advantage in firepower and was extremely fast. Once they are glued to them, they cannot be shaken off.

Seeing the Yankee's extraordinary moves, pulling out an armored force casually is several times stronger than himself, the deputy commander in charge of commanding the task force put down his binoculars and couldn't help but gasped. If this was according to his original style of play, he would really hit a stone with an egg.

"Order the demolition team to get ready, absolutely don't let the enemy's tanks rush over." The deputy head felt the huge pressure of fighting the Americans, and the situation was suddenly severe under this head-on confrontation, "Notify that big guy Zhou, if he's a 'black gun' 'It's not good to be black, I have to peel off his skin."

Thanks to the U.S. military, many radio stations were seized at the three-fork intersection position, and there were even Motorola walkie-talkies used by individual soldiers. Radio relayed the order to every unit of the task force.

After hearing the order, Zhou Qingfeng put his head in front of the scope of the tank gun, and said coldly, "Oh, it's the American M26 heavy tank that came out to attack us."
