It was said that Xu Wen carried the Mosin-Nagan back to the south gate, followed by his Tiger tank. Upon seeing this, Li Wu, Fang Shengli and others immediately ran over to greet him.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Li Wu greeted him with a smile: "Brigadier, are you back? Have the Japanese been repulsed?"

Xu Wen nodded and said: "Yes."

"Then what should we do next?" Li Wu asked.

Xu Wen did not answer in a hurry, but asked: "How is the situation over at the east gate?"

Li Wu and Fang Shengli both shook their heads. They had been at the south gate all along, and they didn't know how the battle was going at the east gate until they returned to the brigade headquarters.

Xu Wen glanced eastward and said: "The sound of gunfire has stopped, so we must be holding on. Let's go back to the brigade headquarters for a rest, and then we will take you to attack the enemy camp at night and kill the Japs' artillery positions!"

"

So Xu Wen took Li Wu and Fang Shengli, led the tank battalion, and the air defense battalion to withdraw into the city. Li Wu and Fang Shengli led their own teams to disperse and hide to prevent them from being attacked by Japanese air raids.

Xu Wenze took Wu Yongqiang and several other subordinates back to the brigade headquarters.

When Chen Zhenglun learned that Xu Wen had returned, he hurriedly ran out of the brigade headquarters. At this time, Zhou Weiguo also rushed back from the Second Regiment's position at the east gate.

When the three met, Zhou Weiguo and Chen Zhenglun stood at attention and saluted Xu Wen at the same time: "Brigadier."

Xu Wen returned the greeting to the two of them, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go and wait until we get to the brigade headquarters."

The three of them walked into the brigade headquarters together. Chen Zhenglun was busy pouring boiling water for the two of them. Xu Wen asked Zhou Weiguo: "How is the battle at the east gate?"

Zhou Weiguo smiled brightly and said: "The Japs were feigning an attack. Without the support of heavy artillery and tank troops, they launched several attacks but were beaten back by the Second Regiment.

Now the commander of the second regiment is watching from the position. I guess the fighting at the south gate is over, so I went back to the brigade headquarters to see if there is any action tonight."

Apparently, Zhou Weiguo remembered that Xu Wen had said before that he would attack the Japanese artillery positions at night, so he rushed back specially.

Xu Wen took the iron water jug ​​handed over by Chen Zhenglun, raised his head and drank some water, wiped his mouth and said: "I came to the brigade headquarters just to tell you that I plan to lead the tank battalion and air defense battalion to attack in the evening.

Japanese artillery positions.

The Japanese artillery units are a huge threat to our frontline troops. As long as they are killed, the offensive edge of the 6th Division will be greatly reduced, which will be more conducive to our subsequent defense."

Zhou Weiguo said: "I agree to attack the Japanese artillery positions at night, but we need to think carefully about this matter, how to hit it with one hit and then withdraw quickly."

Xu Wendao: "I have my own solution for this, so don't worry about it. Just in case, after I leave, Chief of Staff Chen will go to the East Gate Second Regiment to take command. To defend the country, you have to go to the South Gate to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking. At the same time,

You can give us some support or assistance when we need it."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Zhenglun and Zhou Weiguo nodded.

After a few brief explanations, Xu Wen left the independent brigade headquarters.

Wu Yongqiang, as the commander of the Tiger where Xu Wen was, naturally followed Xu Wen out.

As soon as he left the gate of the brigade headquarters, Xu Wen ordered him: "Fourth brother, go and inform Li Wu and Fang Shengli and ask them to check the ammunition and fuel. If there is a tank or military vehicle with insufficient fuel, leave it alone."

Down.

Bring a tank with plenty of fuel and ammunition and prepare to attack with me."

"Yes!" Wu Yongqiang responded and hurriedly ran to deliver the order.

Xu Wenze took two guards to the streets inside the South Gate. This area was hit by enemy air strikes and artillery fire, so many buildings were turned into ruins. The people had fled long ago, and now they are being used by the Independence Brigade.

Get up and prepare to use it as a street fighting position behind.

When Xu Wen arrived, some soldiers from one regiment were busy using the ruins to build street fighting fortifications.

Xu Wen found a deserted place and took out the Leopard tank and T34-85 that had been exploded in the previous battle.

Also taken out at the same time were a box of toilet water, a box of chewing gum and even five boxes of Maotai liquor. These daily necessities were all revealed when Xu Wen killed the Japanese officer in the battle just now.

Li Wu and Fang Shengli quickly rushed over with the tank battalion and air defense battalion. To Xu Wen's surprise, all their tanks, armored vehicles and air defense vehicles arrived.

There was no one left. Faced with Xu Wen's somewhat surprised gaze, Wu Yong rushed to Xu Wen and reported happily: "The brigade commander, second brother and battalion commander Fang gathered all the gasoline."

We got up and redistributed them to all the tanks and combat vehicles, so that not a single piece of equipment from the two battalions was missing, all were here.”

Li Wu and Fang Shengli also came over, smiled and saluted Xu Wen: "Brigadier, don't worry, we have calculated it, and the remaining fuel and ammunition are enough to support us in a night raid."

"That's good." Xu Wen felt relieved, gave them a thumbs up and praised, "Well done!"

As he spoke, Xu Wen pointed at the Tiger, Leopard, and T34 tanks behind him, and said domineeringly: "I'll give you two more tanks, the German-made Leopard and the Russian-made T34!

"

Only then did Li Wu and others notice the two new tanks behind Xu Wen.

Surprised, they all rushed up to take a closer look. Xu Wen loudly explained behind them: "Leopard tanks and T34 tanks, although their size and defensive armor are not as good as those of the Tiger, the caliber of their artillery is also slightly smaller.

But they use sloped defensive armor that Tiger tanks don't have, so their defensive capabilities are even better!

And it’s also more maneuverable! It can naturally do the same against all the tanks currently in service in the Japanese army and completely crush them!”

"That's great. We have two more tanks that are as powerful as the Tiger. Our tank battalion's strength has been further strengthened. Let's make the little devil look good tonight." Li Wu was so excited that he touched the T34 for a while and the Leopard for a while.

The two new tanks obviously made him, the tank battalion commander, fond of them.

Since being transformed into super special forces by Xu Wen using the all-purpose special forces skill book, Li Wu and the others have not only improved their own combat capabilities, but also greatly enhanced their cognitive ability to accept weapons and equipment.

Because I know how to use them and have seen their power, my desire and love for this new type of equipment has greatly increased.

After looking at the tank, Fang Shengli pointed to the small box placed in front of the tank and asked: "Brigade commander, what are these?"

Xu Wen smiled and said: "These are chewing gum, toilet water, and Maotai liquor. Each person has a portion of chewing gum, and a bottle of toilet water for each crew. As for Maotai liquor, whoever destroys the most Japanese artillery tonight will be rewarded.

One box, drink as you like!”

"Yes!" Everyone was overjoyed and stepped forward one after another to divide the "stolen".

Needless to say, chewing gum was one of the favorite items of the US military during World War II. Toilet water not only repels mosquitoes, but can also be used as perfume.

This is simply the best product for soldiers who stay in cramped tanks and armored vehicles all day long, and their bodies are full of sweat, gasoline and gunpowder smell.

Therefore, these little things are very popular with the soldiers and have a certain improvement in morale, which Xu Wen did not expect.

After they finished distributing the supplies, Xu Wen immediately ordered Li Wu to transfer manpower from the tank battalion to form the crews of the two new tanks, and everything was ready.

Xu Wen got into his Tiger tank, took the on-board wireless intercom and gave a deep order to all participating troops: "Brothers, our goal in this operation is to destroy the Japanese artillery positions, so I order you to follow the Tiger tank

March, all actions are based on my orders!

Kill the Japanese artillery positions and see what Hisao Tani will attack tomorrow!"

"Chariot No. 1 is received, No. 2 is received...the air defense battalion is received..." After receiving the response, Xu Wen loudly ordered: "Let's go!"
Chapter completed!
