Chapter 550 Chapter 550
"Thank goodness the damn radio is finally working!" The 2nd Company Commander's surprised voice came.The previous communication has not been smooth, which made him very excited after finally finding the 1st company.

Liu Guozhu also breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the communicator and said: "My tank is not a command vehicle, and the No. 5 tank can't be found. Repeat, the No. 5 tank can't be found."

"You don't care about your comrades in the No. 2 car?" In the headset, the commander of the No. 2 car said bitterly: "There are at least 100 Qi army prisoners in front of me... It's dark."

"Do you want me to give you a suggestion? Car No. 2?" Liu Guozhu grinned.

"What suggestion?" The driver of No. 2 car immediately became curious.

Liu Guozhu pressed the communicator in his throat and replied with a smile: "I suggest that you can make them lose all their weapons!"

"It's a good idea, why didn't I think of it?" The captain of the No. 2 car was very angry: "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you, dare to open the hatch and go out?"

"Hahaha!" The sudden silence on the battlefield made Liu Guozhu relax, and he smiled unscrupulously.

"Stand by! We are on your flank! I have seen your tank!" The company commander of the 2nd company shouted excitedly in the channel.

"I saw some Qi State officers wearing different military uniforms here! It may be their command post!" Liu Guozhu looked at the tents, maps, tables and chairs scattered around through the gap in the observation window, and reported.

"You guys are so lucky!" The 2nd company commander cursed a little jealously, and then Liu Guozhu saw a No. 4 tank knocked over a wooden carriage and appeared to the north of his tank.

At this time, Qi's army had completely collapsed, and there were not many people fighting back. Only the faint gunshots could be heard, and the ear-piercing hissing of Stuka dive bombers in the distance.

"The battalion commander means that since the opponent's artillery position has been paralyzed, it is the best choice for us to retreat now." The tanks of the 2nd company approached, and the radio communication became clearer.

Accompanied by the interfering sound of the electric current, Liu Guozhu agreed: "It is indeed a good idea to leave here. If the Qi people know that we only have such a small force, they will definitely rush back."

"Lacking infantry cover, we can't fight here for a long time." The commander of the 2nd company continued: "The machine gun bullets have been exhausted, and the shells have also consumed one-third."

"You're right." Liu Guozhu is not a reckless man either, he also knows the fact that his tank machine gun has not many bullets left.

The machine gun on the No. 4 tank is not the MG-42, but the predecessor of the MG-42, the MG-34T machine gun with a round barrel sheath.The production process of this machine gun is more complicated than that of MG-42, and the advantage is that it can be installed in the tank.

There are no heat dissipation holes on the barrel of this machine gun, and the thicker the barrel, the better the heat dissipation, which can ensure that the machine gun can shoot continuously for a longer period of time.Anyway, there is no need to consider such a little weight when it is carried on the vehicle.

The machine gun in the tank cannot use the ammunition chain, so the MG-34T machine gun uses the drum to feed the ammunition. The machine gun in the entire tank has 3000 to 3500 rounds of ammunition. With the rate of fire of the MG-34T machine gun, it is actually very easy to shoot out up.

In order to be able to continue fighting, armored soldiers always carry more ammunition. Originally, the No. 4 tank was designed to carry 3000 rounds of machine gun ammunition.

Even so, of the 3500 rounds of ammunition that Liu Guozhu and the others brought, there are now less than 500 rounds left.

If the fight continues in this state, it is estimated that the Qi army will fight back, and they will also withdraw from the battle because of running out of ammunition.

With the cover of the peripheral tanks, Liu Guozhu could finally lift his hatch and climb out of the tank to find the results of his battle just now.

Although those high-ranking Qi officials in gorgeous military uniforms must have died, their corpses must be useful.

Soon, Liu Guozhu brought the 2nd company commander to his trophy, which was next to a collapsed white tent, which was very easy to identify.

It's just that after seeing the corpse on the ground, the 2nd company commander was a little uncomfortable.The shattered brains and bloody rotten meat are really visually impressive and make people feel uncomfortable.

"You're really good..." Covering his mouth with his hands, the 2nd Company Commander, who could still smell the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, gave his comment with a bloodless face.

He doesn't mind if you let him kill in the tank, but it still makes him uncomfortable to face so much minced meat.

"If it doesn't work, just throw it here." Liu Guozhu also felt that these corpses were a bit disgusting to deal with, so he was open-minded and ready to give up this meritorious service.

"Stupid? Put all these corpses in the truck, one in each truck! Go back and find the prisoners to identify and take pictures..." The second company commander glanced at Liu Guozhu, and said with an idea: "Hurry up and set off in five minutes."

"I can't fit in my car...how many do you take away?" Liu Guozhu looked at the second company commander, he was a little reluctant to put these corpses on his tank...because it was disgusting.

"Okay! The ones we pull away count as ours." The 2nd company commander grinned and prepared to take advantage.

"That's no problem." Liu Guozhu felt that he was very good at being a man.

So a few minutes later, Tang's armored soldiers resisted the urge to vomit, put a bunch of corpses with broken heads and rotten chests into their tanks, and then retreated along the same road before the Qi army counterattacked. battlefield.

A raid ended here, and the chaos of Qi's 3rd Army continued.One division was fighting hard at the front, one division had mostly collapsed, and the other division was still camping without knowing what was going on.

The follow-up Qi army was still gathering towards Luozhen, but the sound of the Qi army's artillery that filled the sky before disappeared strangely.

……

Communication is backward, and there is no way to spread it to all troops. Sometimes it is beneficial.At least most of the current Qi troops don't know that their general headquarters has been taken away.

They are still performing their duties, honestly carrying out the last order they received.For example, continue to move forward, for example, continue to attack.

However, as more and more disintegrated troops passed on detailed information to more troops, the army of Qi State still became chaotic and shaken.

"What do you mean by the rout soldiers? A few deserters who don't know where they came from, how can I believe something random?" An officer of the Qi State threw his hat on the engine compartment of the car and asked angrily. road.

"Captain, we have come from a long distance, we have no supplies along the way, and we have not received any new orders, so we just rushed to Luo Town in such a muddle..." The subordinate looked at the rout soldier who was in a state of distress and came to deliver the news , looked at his team leader again, and began to persuade.

"What exactly do you want to say?" The leader also had a fiery temper, staring at his subordinates and directly interrupting his nonsense.

"Regimental Commander... The messengers sent out have not returned yet. I think it is necessary to confirm that the 3rd Army..." The officer suggested cautiously, afraid of angering his chief.

After a few seconds of silence, the commander of the Qi Army, who seemed to have a bad temper, was also very helpless, and explained: "What can I do? I sent out two messengers, and none of them came back. What can I do? Change without permission." Order? Do I still want to live?"

Sometimes, if you don't come according to the rules, there will be no problems.The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and anything can happen, and the commander is responsible for any decision.

The order they received when they set off was to rush to Luozhen before tonight. At that time, the Qi army didn't know the news that Luozhen was lost.

Then the troops began to move, and the communication became less smooth: some of the tens of thousands of troops were still on the ground, and some were already on the way, and there was a mess everywhere.

Take their regiment as an example. Since they started on the road, they have basically lost contact with the Western Front Command.The command couldn't find their exact location, and they couldn't find the exact location of the command.

There was no way, the third prince was originally responsible for staying where he was, but he rushed to the front line in a hurry.As a result, the third prince left a huge mess behind him.

In fact, their regiment has not yet contacted the general headquarters since its departure.As the head of the regiment, he sent a total of five signal soldiers, and none of them found the superior liaison unit.

The division headquarters of the division where this regiment was located could not be found either, and they went directly to the command headquarters of the third prince, but they could not find it either.

So he could only move towards Luozhen according to the order he received at the beginning, and then met a regiment from another division, crowded together on the road, and only walked less than 7 kilometers in one morning.

It's not that he doesn't want to contact, but that he really doesn't know where all the commanders are!The signal soldiers he sent out could only inquire all the way, groping and searching like blind people, and no matter whether they could find it or not, they would eventually find out in embarrassment that they didn't know where their troops had gone...

When he went, he searched blindly, but when he came back, he couldn't even find it... This is also the reason why he was unwilling to send out signal soldiers-as much as he sent out, he lost as much as he sent out. What's the use of sending out?
"Then, Commander, we have to figure out the situation too. Going all the way to Luozhen?" The officer under him was a little anxious, and persuaded with anxiety: "It's okay if we can take it back, but if we can't take it back... ..."

"Then why don't we just go and take it back?" The regiment commander glared at him, and then looked at the two routs with dissatisfaction: "You said that the Tang army raided the rear guard of the 3rd Army from the flank and rushed into the artillery position. Where?"

"...North, about 4 kilometers..." A broken soldier pointed in the direction he fled from, and spoke vaguely.

"I don't know either. I'm just a loader. Someone told me to retreat, so I ran." Another rout replied truthfully.
