车子刚开回营地,周和尚坐在副驾驶上悠哉悠哉吹着凉风,表情十分惬意.

“花和尚!老子叫你去搬个弹药咋这半天才回来?那边有娘们还是怎滴?”

At this moment, a full of breath yelled in his ears like thunder.

"Quick, stop!" Monk Zhou shuddered and shouted loudly when he heard this voice. After Chen Tang stopped the car, he immediately turned over and got out of the car and ran towards the figure in front of him.

"Hehe Company Commander, aren't we back now?"

Although this bald man looks big and thick, he is as obedient as a little white rabbit in front of company commander Mo Youcai, and he dare not be arrogant at all.

"Stop talking nonsense, the things are fine, right? Distribute them quickly, our 7th Company is about to set off!" Mo Youcai ordered with a stern face.

Just now, the superiors suddenly issued an order, requiring the entire regiment to quickly organize their personnel and equipment, set off on time at 3 pm, and followed the Yunnan-Burma Highway toward the border line, and advanced to the two towns of Wancheng.

As the sharp knife of the entire regiment, the chariot battalion was inevitably the leader, and as the direct infantry corps, they were naturally in the combat sequence.

"Don't stand there, come down and move things."

"Time doesn't wait for anyone, just give me a quick move!"

"The people from the third row come here..."

With the shouts, the soldiers moved quickly. The three trucks driven by the transport regiment were full of their supplies, bullets, grenades, rockets, etc.... weapons and equipment.

In addition, a truck of canned dry food was brought in the regiment. The weapons and ammunition were not included, and they also required individual soldiers to carry food for more than three days. It seemed that this battle was not simple.

The grenades were placed aside, and the soldiers stuffed them into the bullet bags on their bodies.

In the past, they had fought hard and hard times, and they knew very well how difficult it was to replenish logistics supplies when fighting. Sometimes, even if the ammunition and food are exhausted, the supply of the logistics team may not be sent to the front line.

Especially the troops who often fight on the front line can better understand the hardship. Often when they fight to the death, they are unable to succeed due to supply interruptions, and in the end they have no choice but to choose to retreat.

So now they have developed the habit of bringing more bullets. They can still chew tree bark in the forest for two days if they don’t have any food. If there are no bullets at critical moments, it will be a life-threatening thing.

Some soldiers even emptied their pockets of food just to bring more bullets. Anyway, the genin seats have always been rich and powerful, and they can handle bullets and other things. As long as they can carry them, they will take them to death, for fear of losing their energy.

"Why do you have so many bullets on your body? Don't you think it's heavy? Take less. The rifleman fired 80 rounds, the assaulter 5 thirty rounds, each with two grenades, and one with one marching backpack. Who is not allowed to grab it!..."

These grandsons have had too many hard days. After seeing their behavior, Mo Youcai immediately stepped forward to stop it, because the current seventh company is no longer as good as before.

As an infantry unit of the chariot battalion, wouldn’t it be too shameful if you had to run away with two legs?

When other company-level combat troops were still transporting with mules and horses and a small number of trucks, and the march was all based on two legs, Yuan Li had equipped the two infantry companies under his command with 16 heavy trucks and 6 jeeps to transport ammunition and personnel, and the degree of "luxury" was jealous.

行军完全靠车拉,武器装备也不要人扛直接往车上一丢,战士们只要舒舒服服地待在卡车上,等到达了作战位置下车开打就行.

"If I want to say it's more popular with the Armored Battalion. Look at the eight ten-wheeled big trucks in a company, which are still used to attract people. Hehe... Finally, you don't have to carry a bunch of iron lumps and run around. If you want to put this in the past, you would never dare to think about it."

The ghostly Liang Su said sincerely while pressing bullets into the single clip.

"Xiao Suzi, you should practice your small body more, otherwise the Japanese will not even be able to stab the bayonet in front of you."

"I'm afraid the Japanese thought he was tickling."

Hahaha……

"You know what a bunch of big guys is a big guy. The genitals don't often say that they can solve the battle with guns and try not to use bayonets. The most correct way to do it is to play with strengths and avoid weaknesses."

Faced with his companion’s jokes, Liang Su retorted disdainfully, and was fighting for bayonets. Isn’t that a waste of money even if he has these equipment to get close to the Japanese?

"Chen Tang, do you think what I said is right, Chen Tang?"

At this time, Chen Tang's eyes were deeply attracted by the dozens of SDKFZ251 armored vehicles on the open space, especially the six most central Shermans. The mighty long-barreled cannon and his wide body shape deeply stimulated his heart.

This is what a tank should look like. Compared with it, the Vicks tanks I drove before have become unbearable garbage.

"Hey? The quantity is wrong. Where did this come from? Monk, come here!" The careful Mo Youcai immediately discovered that there was some deviation in the equipment sent.

"What's wrong with the company commander?"

"I'll ask you, why are there 3 more Bazuka? Two more m2 mortars appeared, and there were obviously more ammunition than on the list. What's going on? You won't steal it from Lao Feng, right?"

"Huh... I'm so proud of this, how dare I steal his things?" Zhou looked around and whispered: "It's all given by him."

“自己给的?那老抠逼能这么大方?太阳打西边出来了不?”莫友财一脸的不相信.

Monk Zhou pointed at Chen Tang in no trace and told him everything that happened when he went to the transportation group to collect supplies.

"So that's the case. That old guy is willing to give up for his nephew." Mo Youcai murmured to himself at Chen Tang not far away.

"Not, but I feel puzzled. You said that everyone wants to hide in the back, but who is sharpening his head and drilling into the front line troops? This is not stupid...oh!"

Monk Zhou took off his helmet and couldn't help but complain. Before he could slap his big head with a light back.

Mo Youcai cursed unhappily: "Do you think someone's awareness is the same as you?"

"grumble……!!"

At this moment, the whistle sounded suddenly in the distance, which was the gathering whistle of the troops. With the shouts of various officers, the soldiers in the battalion began to move.

"gather!"

"The second and third rows start to board the bus, and the first row brings equipment and follows me, and moves quickly!"

According to the action plan formulated by the battalion headquarters in the morning, Mo Youcai ordered two platoons to board the truck, and then led a platoon to the armored transport company himself and got on the SDKFZ251 transport truck with the soldiers.

At around 3 pm, all soldiers of the Third Regiment's War Tank Battalion were dispatched, and six Sherman tanks were opening the way forward. More than 20 SDKFZ251 armored transport vehicles and heavy trucks were carrying more than 400 infantrymen. They would drive straight towards the China-Myanmar border as the first offensive echelon.

The chariot battalion is currently in a relatively large position. In addition to the two or three hundred people, two infantry companies and logistics support companies have been added this time. In addition, the 6 Sherman crew members who were temporarily borrowed from the 200th Division, the total number of the battalion is already within 1,000.

Before Myanmar acquired a base, Liao Mingyu did not intend to reorganize the chariot battalion. Although the armored troops had excellent offensive effects, their advantages were limited in the tropical rainforest.

坦克战车一旦离开了公路铁定抓瞎,绝难再现芒市战场上如钢铁洪流般的场面,至少在缅甸中北部这片茂密的丛林中是不要想了.

但也不能说坦克部队就成了鸡肋,他们在阵地攻防战中仍然可以配合步兵发挥一些作用,只是不能像在平原上那般肆无忌惮地驰骋罢了.

Behind the chariot battalion is the main force of the Third Regiment, and the engineering regiment led by Fang Jingyao and Ayi.

Thousands of troops set off, and the smoke and dust spread out over the sky and the sun. The soldiers and cars slowly advanced on this winding and Burma Highway, as if they were an invincible dragon, with great momentum and dignity.

They had no intention of hiding at all, and marched forward with great fanfare. The Japanese scouts found traces immediately, but... what's the use of this?

With the main force of the 18th Division defeated, the gateway to northern Myanmar was opened, but there was no large-scale Japanese defense in this area. It would take time for the top Japanese leaders to dispatch reinforcements, which also created good conditions for the Third Division to enter.

The Japanese knew that the frontal battlefield had lost their initiative, so their remaining soldiers retreated to the vicinity of Wancheng and Zhafang one after another.

This Japanese army had only one brigade of troops. In order to try to delay the attack as much as possible, they reduced their troops and built a large number of defensive positions in Huwei Mountain in the southern section of Zhafang, Ma'anshan to the north of Wancheng, Daheishan to the east, Manbang to the north of Wancheng River, and the triangle area of ​​the east coast of Longjiang River.

Even so, they were just struggling to death. The chariot battalion that set out from Mangshi had arrived at Zhafang in less than 3 hours. The six Shermans at the forefront were the first to bombard the rage of revenge, and the battle between the two sides started instantly.

Because of the urgency of time, the Japanese army did not complete all the fortifications. The trenches and roadblocks set up on the highway were only completed less than half of which did not play much role under the impact of Sherman's destructive impact.

The tanks successfully broke through the defense line of Zhafang, and they didn't care about the positions and fortifications on the mountain, and they treated them as air and continued to move west along the highway.

This made the Japanese soldiers who had been struggling for a long time feel an inexplicable anger and frustration. The Chinese people actually ignored them and dared to go deeper alone. Are they not afraid of giving them all here?

Unfortunately, the Japanese only guessed half of them, and the Tank Company did ignore them, because the latter's mission was not to clean up, but to act as a chisel to open the enemy's defense line.

However, the tanks of the tank battalion were not fighting alone. The armored convoy followed closely behind at a relatively balanced speed and provided cover from time to time. The final large troops were coming at a very fast speed, and they would give the Japanese a fatal blow.

Buzz buzz…!!

At this moment, several black shadows suddenly appeared in the sky accompanied by the roar. They were the 14th Air Brigade of the US Army that came to support!

As early as yesterday, Liao Mingyu informed of the combat plan to attack Wanding and made a request to support the fighter jet. Wei Lihuang expressed his high support and immediately contacted Chennard.

Originally, the US air force stationed in China had to discuss the combat plan in detail before formulating specific support time, but this would inevitably affect Liao Mingyu's combat operations.

Fortunately, Jamie, Wisker and others heard that Liao Mingyu needed help and immediately put down what they were doing, called a few companions, ignored the warnings and threats of their superiors, and flew over the Wanding town with the unique American will to help the third division.

Six p40s dived from high altitude at an extremely fast speed, accurately dropped the aviation bombs at those exposed Japanese firepower points, and the machine guns fired mercilessly below.

The tank armored convoy continued to advance under the cover of fighter jets, and at the same time tried to destroy all the strong fortifications along the way.

The 1st Battalion of the Third Regiment, the 2nd Battalion of the First Battalion, had arrived at the battlefield and was cleaning up the remaining Japanese, gradually moving forward without giving the Japanese a rest.

小鬼子傻眼了,仗还能这样打的?原本期望利用地形层层阻敌,但在战机,坦克,步兵的三重打击下他们的防线脆弱到不堪一击,顷刻间就被撕得粉碎.

“周大哥,我们咋还在往前开呢?好像六连他们都已经下车了啊.”

On an SDKFZ251 armored transport vehicle, Liang Su asked in panic. The bullets jingled on the iron plate, and the explosions around him never stopped. Because the roof was installed, they were in the car without knowing what was going on outside.

"puff!"

The machine gunner was still holding mg3 and shooting desperately. A bullet that came from somewhere suddenly flew in front of him, and with a squirting sound, his head was instantly opened.

The machine gunner fell to the ground, half of his head was blown away, and blood and the red and white objects were splattered everywhere.

Chen Tang grabbed his hands holding the rifle in an instant, and the smell of blood was stimulating his brain nerves. The fear that he could die at any time made him nervous.

This feeling should have been experienced when I was a soldier. Who would have thought that when I changed, I would have to overcome the fear of the new recruits again when I returned to the battlefield.

The armored vehicle suddenly stopped, and the driver patted the partition and shouted loudly: "I'm here, get off, get off!"

With a clang, the rear door of the rear of the car was pushed open by Li Dagui, the soldiers in the car immediately came out. The sound of gunfire around became clearer, and bullets seemed to be passing by in the ears.

Whoosh...puff!puff!

As soon as he got off the car, a string of machine gun bullets shot over. The two soldiers were killed on the spot and fell unwillingly into a pool of blood.

"Dagui, please don't push me, brothers, please find cover first, Xiao Suzi, Ma Gan, you two carry the dead into the car!"

"yes!"

Monk Zhou, hiding behind the armored vehicle, quickly leaned over and shouted, while also observing the surrounding situation.

There was a small river in front of it. The bridge crossing the river had been blown up, and the armored convoy could not get through. Moreover, many Japanese devils had set up bunkers on the other side, and were shooting at them frantically.

Just as he was about to lead the people forward, he seemed to remember something, turned around and pulled Chen Tang up angrily: "Boy, follow me, bury your head lower, don't show off, have you heard it clearly??"
Chapter completed!
