Chapter 330
It has to be said that the offensive of the Third Regiment was progressing very quickly. It was originally planned to take down Wanding in one day, but the chariot battalion ended the battle in just 3 hours.
The Engineer Regiment played a great role today. While the large army was replenishing supplies, they cleared the road surface as quickly as possible, cleared obstacles, and built a temporary wooden bridge in the narrow part of the Wanding River.
The wooden bridge is two and a half meters wide and 150 meters long. The truck brought the logs and wooden boards prepared in advance. Fortunately, the river surface is not deep and the flow rate is slow. The soldiers used floating boats as bridge piers, and then reinforced them with sandbags, rivets and iron chains.
The bridge deck is enough to withstand dozens of tons of weight, which is mostly due to the repair team that was left behind by soft and hard water.
With the assistance of the Engineer Regiment, the chariot battalion advanced rapidly, with forty or fifty troop transport trucks following closely behind, and a large army marched quickly. They followed the Yunnan-Burma Highway and arrived before 1 o'clock.
Nankan.
As the commander-in-chief of the vanguard, Yuan Li immediately ordered an attack. Before the Japanese troops stationed here could react, the dark enemy was already coming.
call out……
The flares rushed into the sky with dazzling fire, and the surroundings became much clearer in an instant.
"kill!!"
The armored vehicles and tanks drove side by side and slowly advanced in the harsh sound. The soldiers shouted and followed the tank convoy to charge towards the Japanese.
Although the night was not good for the attack, the Japanese also didn't know that it was true. They received news of the fall of Wanding in the evening. They didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly, and they didn't know how many enemies came. They could only passively in panic.
Counterattack.
"Langda? Did the Chinese fall from the sky? You guys can't even do the most basic warning!"
The Japanese army, who was in charge of the defense here, was so angry that they smoked. Most of the soldiers were recruiting recruits. The other party was thrust into the face and had not yet reacted. They were even stupider than pigs.
"Big... Captain, let's retreat. The enemy...the enemy has a chariot." The soldier beside him preached to him in a crying voice.
"Baga!"
Nakasa slapped over and pointed at the soldier's nose and roared: "Why are the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire afraid of his mere chariots? We went to the ocean just to defend the glory of the Emperor at this moment?"
"Are you not afraid of your wives, children, and parents being ridiculed for the rest of your life if you run away like cowards? So what if the enemy is better than us? Kill me! Be loyal to the Emperor!"
"kill!"
"Tiannang board!"
This Nakasa was obviously very devastated by the "Bushido" spirit, but he did not expect that the morale of the Japanese soldiers was in danger would be stimulated by him.
"Report to the battalion commander, the Japanese not only did not surrender, but also launched a charge at us."
"Hmph, these beasts are quite brave."
Yuan Li had long seen the clamoring Asian dwarfs under the flares in the tank observation mirror, but they thought that it would be a big mistake to win by just being brave.
"So the armored and infantry units obey orders, firepower is fully launched, and they will go to hell!"
"yes!"
The Japanese soldiers who were willing to go out shouted and rushed towards the tank group. It was obvious that this group of Japanese devils had not fought with the Chinese army for too long. They thought that their dense tide charge could scare away the "weak will" Chinese people.
The cruel fact surprised them.
The 76mm long-barreled tank gun on each Sherman car immediately burst out with a terrifying flame. Each shell could blow up a large piece of mud and corpse in the Japanese stormtroopers. Three heavy machine guns also sprayed fire at the same time.
Snake, I like this kind of pig attack offensive warriors very much.
The armored vehicles on the flank also joined the battlefield. The fire snake passed by like a few sickles. The Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, with broken corpses on the ground, but the Japanese who were already on the ground were still fearless.
Charge forward.
The team was surrounded by some suicide groups holding explosive bags. They looked cold and determined not to take their lives seriously at all, just to bloom dazzlingly like cherry blossoms at the last moment of their lives.
But the infantry next to the tank convoy did not agree. On the contrary... they were very good at "destroying flowers".
The idea of synchronous cooperation in warriors has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. During the training some time ago, Liao Mingyu also repeatedly said that without an open battlefield environment and without a large-scale cluster, he had to go step by step between the tanks and soldiers in the face of enemy attacks.
Do not leave the formation to avoid the enemy from being killed by a fatal blow.
The speed is a little slower, but the victory is stable and stronger. The Japanese soon discovered that they could not get close to the semi-automatic and fully automatic firepower. The weapons's generation gap is difficult to make up for by fearless spirit, let alone the Japanese
There is no quantity advantage.
"Everything is smart! The Japanese hiding in the house, they use flamethrowers. If the firewielders cannot reach them, they will be called tanks. They will be fucking foolish. I don't want to send letters to you!"
Mo You in the team was like a big boom, and with rich experience, he desperately called on his soldiers to fight flexibly and not be stupid.
After all, life is yours. It is more worthwhile to kill more enemies alive than anything else. Who would be so stupid as to exchange for the Japanese's life with each other when possible? They are worthy of it?
"Company Commander, there is trouble in the 6th Company."
Mo Youcai looked in the direction the soldiers said, and through the firelight and gunfire sound, he quickly observed the specific situation. The position of the Sixth Company seemed to be entangled by the enemy and could not move, and it was out of touch with the convoy.
"Monkey Zhou! Take a row to help, and Ji Laosi, who saved the family, said that we are not righteous."
"Okay, I'll go now, follow me in a row!"
...
The battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood, and countless corpses were lying in pools of blood, and the screams of the wounded were endless. Some lucky Japanese soldiers were dragging their injured companions to try to retreat. Soon...
The bullets of justice will be sent to them.
Although the two infantry companies accompanied by the tank convoy also suffered some losses, their casualties were insignificant compared to the miserable appearance of the Japanese army.
The Japanese troops who launched an attack overestimate their own abilities suffered a devastating blow. In the just-in-one wave of fire, at least six or seven hundred Japanese devils turned into cold corpses, the rest.
Ironically, the captain who clamored to fight to the end of the bloody battle was timid at the last moment. The soldiers who left him left him had no nerve and chose to escape. If the Japanese soldiers who died in battle knew the truth, they would probably have to be angry and strangled to death.
He can't.
There were not many Japanese defense troops in Nankan, only one unsatisfied brigade, and they were basically concentrated in the town, which also gave the chariot battalion excellent conditions for annihilation, and almost none of them escaped except for a few fleeing soldiers.
