My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 329 The Battle of Nankan
It has to be said that the offensive of the third regiment progressed very quickly. It was originally planned to take Wanding in one day, but it took only 3 hours for the Chariot Battalion to end the battle.

The Engineer Corps has played a great role today. While the large troops were being supplied, they cleared the road as quickly as possible, cleared obstacles, and built a temporary wooden bridge at the narrow part of the Wanding River.

The wooden bridge is two and a half meters wide and 150 meters long. The trucks brought the logs and boards prepared in advance. Fortunately, the river is not deep and the flow is slow. Soldiers used pontoons as bridge piers, and then reinforced them with sandbags, rivets and iron chains. , The bridge deck is enough to bear the weight of dozens of tons, most of which are due to the car repair engineering team that was left behind by soft grinding and hard foam.

With the assistance of the Engineer Corps, the Chariot Battalion advanced all the way, followed by forty or fifty troop trucks, followed by a large force marching quickly. They went west along the Burma Road and arrived before 1 o'clock. Nankan.

As the commander-in-chief of the vanguard, Yuan Li immediately ordered to launch an attack. Before the Japanese troops stationed here could react, the huge enemy was already rushing towards them.

call out……

Flares shot straight into the sky with dazzling flames, and the surroundings instantly became much clearer.

"kill!!"

Armored vehicles and tanks drove side by side, advancing slowly amid harsh sounds, and the soldiers shouted, followed by the tank convoy and charged towards the little devil.

Although the night is not good for the attack, the Japanese also don't know what to do. They only received the news of the fall of Wanding in the evening. They didn't expect the enemy to come so fast, and they didn't know how many enemies came. They could only be passive in panic fight back.

"Langda? Did the Huaxia people fall from the sky? You idiots can't even do the most basic precautions!"

The Japanese lieutenant who was in charge of the defense here was so angry that most of his men were recruits who had been recruited.

"Big...Captain, let's retreat, the enemy...the enemy has chariots." The soldier beside him said to him in a tearful voice.

"idiot!"

The Zhongzuo slapped him round, pointed at the soldier's nose and growled: "Why are the warriors of the Japanese Empire afraid of his mere chariots? Isn't it that we are going to the ocean to defend the glory of the emperor at this moment?"

"Aren't you afraid that your wives, children, and parents will be ridiculed for the rest of your life if you run away like cowards? So what if the enemy is stronger than us? Kill me! Be loyal to the emperor!"

"kill!"

"Sky capsule onboard!"

This lieutenant officer was obviously devastated by the "Bushido" spirit, but he did not expect the precarious morale of the Japanese soldiers to be inspired by him instead.

"Report to the battalion commander. Instead of surrendering, the little devil even charged us."

"Hmph, these bastards are quite brave."

Yuan Li had already seen the clamoring oriental dwarfs under the flares in the tank's observation mirror, but they were completely wrong in thinking that they could win by bravery alone.

"So the armored and infantry units obey orders, fire at full force, and send them to hell!"

"Yes!"

The desperate Japanese soldiers yelled and rushed towards the tank group. Obviously, this group of little devils hadn't fought the Chinese army for a long time, and they thought that their intensive tide charge could scare the "weak-willed" Chinese people away. The cruel fact surprised them.

The 76mm long-barreled tank guns on each Sherman's body immediately burst out with terrifying flames. Each shell could blow up a large amount of mud and corpses in the Japanese assault team, and the three heavy machine guns also sprayed out fire at the same time. Snake, the fighters couldn't be more fond of this kind of pig attack.

The armored vehicles on the flanks also joined the battlefield. The Fire Snake was like a few scythes slashing across. Pieces of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground. The ground was full of dilapidated corpses, but the little devils who were already on top were still fearless. Charge forward.

There are some suicide squads holding explosive packs in the ranks. Their eyes are cold and firm, and they don't take their lives seriously at all, just to bloom like cherry blossoms at the last moment of their lives.

It's just that the infantry next to the tank convoy didn't agree. On the contrary...they are very good at things like "destroying flowers with hard hands".

The idea of ​​synchronous and coordinated fighters has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the training some time ago, Liao Mingyu also gave repeated orders. Before there is no open battlefield environment and no large-scale clusters are formed, the tanks and soldiers must be at every step when facing the enemy's attack. Do not leave the formation, lest the enemy get a fatal blow after going around.

The speed is a bit slow, but the victory is steady and firm. The little devils soon discovered that they couldn't get close to semi-automatic and automatic firepower. There is no advantage in numbers.

"Be smart! The little devil will use the flamethrower to hide in the house, and the flamethrower will call the tank if the flamethrower can't reach it. I don't want to send letters home for you!"

Mo Youcai's voice in the team was like a bell, and he desperately told his soldiers not to be stupid when they fought flexibly with rich experience.

After all, life is one's own, and it's worth living to kill more enemies than anything else. Who would be so stupid as to trade a life with a little devil if possible?They deserve it too?

"Company commander, the Sixth Company is in trouble."

Mo Youcai looked in the direction the soldier said. Through the firelight and the sound of bullets, he quickly observed the specific situation. The position of the sixth company seemed to be entangled by the enemy and unable to move, and it had already lost touch with the convoy.

"Monk Zhou! Bring a group of people over to help, and the province's Ji Laosi will say afterward 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, countless corpses lay in a pool of blood, the screams of the wounded were endless, and some Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were dragging their wounded comrades and trying to retreat, and soon... a few A bullet of justice will send them west.

Although the two infantry companies accompanying 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 offensive over their own capabilities suffered a devastating blow. In the wave of firefights just now, at least six or seven hundred little devils turned into cold corpses, and the rest.

The irony is that the captain who clamored for a bloody battle to the end was cowarded at the last moment, and the soldiers who left him chose to flee without backbone. If the Japanese soldiers who died in the battle knew the truth, they would probably have to come alive and strangle them to death He can't.

There were not many Japanese defense troops in Nankan, only a brigade that was not fully formed, and they were basically concentrated inside the town. This also gave the Chariot Battalion excellent conditions for annihilation. Except for a few soldiers who fled, almost no one was spared.

The main force of the third regiment soon arrived at Nankan and continued to clean up the surrounding Japanese strongholds. So far... this piece of territory that originally belonged to China finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.
