Chapter 183
"All the 97 modifications aimed at the Japanese army, knock them out first!"

Kang Ya commanded the chariot company, and after reaching the range at full speed, he gave priority to a round of fierce attacks on the enemy's only 97 Kai that could pose a threat to their chariots.

The Bean Chariot only has a vehicle-mounted machine gun, which is nothing to worry about.There are only four modified 97 tanks, and the long guns on them pose a slight threat to the M4 tanks.

Four high-explosive bombs and four armor-piercing bombs bombarded the past immediately. The four 97 Kais of the Japanese army were wrapped in thick smoke, and two of them were directly destroyed, and there was no movement at all.

The remaining two vehicles escaped the shelling through a slap in the face, and began to hide in the small woods on one side, trying to avoid their artillery fire in this way.

"Work together to outflank them! Kill them all!" Kang Ya issued a new order.

When the tanks were double-teaming, a Japanese 97 modified had already circled to the side, and a shell hit the right front of the turret of an M4 tank, but it was hit at a very biased angle, causing no damage. not big.

"All units aim at the position just now, cover the firepower, kill it for me!"

At the same time Kang Ya gave the order, the gunners of each vehicle turned their muzzles and fired eight shells.

After two rounds of shelling, the 97 tank was completely smoked and could no longer move.

The remaining 97 modification was frightened and rumbled backwards, wanting to escape.

"Where are you running! Chase me!"

The eight tanks in front of the chariot company, with an indomitable momentum, increased their horsepower, and rushed at full speed at the maximum speed.

In the last 97 modification, the Japanese driver inside found that he was gradually encircled by eight M4 tanks, and the eight muzzles were aimed at it at the same time. After the driver and gunner braked suddenly, the tank was gone. Scared to abandon the car and run away.

Milong, who was following behind the chariot, saw the opportunity and knocked down the two Japanese soldiers with a single shot with a light machine gun.

After eliminating the only threat, Kang Ya's confidence increased even more.

"Full speed ahead!"

After a round of assault, the chariot company rushed to the front of the Japanese position.

Kang Ya passed through the observation hole, and once she found a place with dense firepower on the Japanese army's position, she directed the machine gunners to take care of it.

The vehicle-mounted machine guns swept across, and the Japanese army formation on the 355 Heights was destroyed like a rotten one.

Because the infantry such as Milong, Bula, and Snake Butt were hiding behind the tank, the Japanese army could only use the machine guns on the bean tank to do a weak resistance.

Those weak bullets hit the hard M4 chariot, making a pleasant sound of "jump, bounce, bounce", and the brisk rhythm is like writing a beautiful piece of music.

"Boom boom boom...!"

Accompanied by bursts of fierce artillery bombardment, the iron skin of the bean chariot of the Japanese army was so thin that it was almost pierced by a single shot.

From the start of the attack to the end, in less than half an hour, the chariot company had successfully tore a hole in the Japanese defense belt.

The chariot company continued to attack, went around to the rear of the enemy army, and dealt with the enemy a little farther away, while Bula, Snake Butt and others led the infantry to rush into the enemy's position and started a fight with the enemy.

The Japanese army began to gradually retreat.

Under the cover of tanks, the advance group was like a broken bamboo.

Although less than half of the positions were occupied, the soldiers of the advance regiment could clearly feel that the Japanese army's psychological defense line had been defeated, and the will to fight was also exhausted in several defeats.

In the 50th Division in the front, Pan Yukun knew that the morale of the Japanese army was in turmoil, so he immediately commanded the engineers to search for a dozen small boats, covered them with planks, and quickly built a pontoon bridge, allowing them to cross the river.

In the end, the 50th Division on the front and the advance regiment on the flank cooperated with each other to strangle the Japanese army.

The Japanese commander Yuji Nakamura and the rest of the soldiers fled in a truck from the back of the position to the direction of Mandalay in a panic, and the battle ended here.

Pan Yukun immediately ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield, and then redeployed the defense.

In this battle, more than 1500 Japanese troops were wiped out.

The most critical thing is that six tanks of the Japanese army were destroyed and a 97 modification was seized.

This shows that in the later period of the Battle of Northern Burma, the fighting power of the invincible Japanese army was severely reduced. In the face of the Chinese army, which had armored troops and paid attention to strategy, it had completely lost its former prestige.

The report of the great victory at West Fort was passed on, and both the Western Yunnan General Command and the Allied Forces General Command were very happy.

General Wei Lihuang called and instructed: to award the third-class Baoding Medal to Liu Feihu, the head of the advance regiment.He also informed the whole army to learn from him, and hoped that the advance team would continue to work hard and create brilliance bravely!

During this period of time, the other troops were not idle, and prepared all the combat materials in sufficient quantities to clear all the small strongholds of the Japanese army around Limang City.

The defense system of the Japanese army in northern Myanmar is basically facing collapse, and the next expeditionary force is about to launch a large-scale attack on Mangshi.

Once Mangshi is captured, the Japanese army can only retreat towards Nankan and Lashio. When the Indian troops capture Bhamo, the Chinese Expeditionary Force will join forces in Nankan and completely open up the Sino-Indian highway.

At that time, the entire Japanese army in northern Myanmar will be completely expelled from northern Myanmar, losing control of northern Myanmar, and will no longer be able to threaten the rear of Southwest China from the south.

Now that the war in northern Myanmar is in sight, the sharp sword hanging in the back of China will be completely broken by the expeditionary army, and the rear of the Southwest will also completely cut off this huge hidden danger.

At this time, everyone has seen that the defeat of the Japanese army is only a matter of time, but they don't know when they will surrender.

Now with the Normandy landing in the European battlefield, Moldy country has opened up a second battlefield in the European battlefield. The situation of the German army has also taken a sharp turn. The dawn of victory has already been seen on the battlefield.

After more than 900 days of the "Stalingrad" defense war, the Soviet Union slowly recovered and began to launch an extremely violent counterattack against Germany. The victory in the European battlefield is already foreseeable.

But in Asia, especially in the domestic battlefield, the Japanese army is still rampant due to the inability to obtain enough international aid.

In particular, the Japanese army launched the largest Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi since the Anti-Japanese War, and the domestic situation is currently very severe.

The situation in the Southwest has been basically safe along the Nujiang River after the expeditionary force launched a major counterattack. As long as the China-India Highway is opened again, the country will be able to continuously obtain international aid from this new blood transfusion channel in the future.

If Mutaguchi Ren hadn't planned a battle of Imphal, [-] to [-] troops would have been lost because of the rainy season.

Then, the large counterattack launched by the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Army and the Indian Army may face huge difficulties, because the Japanese army will have more sufficient troops to stop their counterattack.

The situation of the troops stationed in India may be better, because after all, there are sufficient supplies from China and other countries to support the consumption of firepower.

However, if the expeditionary force in western Yunnan wants to regain northern Myanmar, it may become very difficult.

This is thanks to Mutaguchi Renya's magical operation, which made the Japanese army completely jump into the fire pit. In the end, Imphal failed to take it down, but instead made his three main divisions completely lose their combat effectiveness.

In fact, attacking Imphal is strategically correct, because if the Japanese army continues to wait until all the troops stationed in India are refitted, they will have the same six American divisions as the new 22nd and new 38th divisions.By that time, the Japanese troops defending on multiple fronts in Burma would have to wait to be beaten.

Therefore, the offensive plan proposed by the Mutaguchi company is not stupid, but it should not be launched in a hurry when supplies are insufficient.

Moreover, the troops stationed in India seized the opportunity to counterattack, and the 18th Division was unable to fight back.

The Japanese army in western Yunnan also failed to hold the cymbals.The 56th Division is basically exhausted, and the 2nd Division has also suffered relatively large losses. The 53rd Division originally had two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment, but now they are also disabled.

The situation of the 49th Division was slightly better, because not all of their main force was sent to northern Burma, and the losses were relatively light.
