Chapter 242 The Chariot Company Was Ambushed

Of the 700 or so people that Xiao Tian took out when he set off, only 200 or so came back, and the rest were either killed or fled into the mountains and forests.

So, after he fled back, facing the contempt and reprimand of his colleagues, he didn't fart. He was really dumb and couldn't tell if he was suffering from eating coptis.

The colleagues who had just seen him off all disdain him when they saw him, thinking that Oda is a complete idiot. They thought that being favored by General Tanaka would be someone to curry favor with, but it turned out to be the case.

Such a "powerful" chariot squadron was beaten to the ground by the enemy, almost disgracing the empire.

A staff officer who used to have a good relationship with Oda saw him with a look of disdain on his face: "Mr. Oda, you have caused such a heavy loss to the Japanese Empire. You should kill yourself to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"I don't need you to judge my sin!"

Oda's face was thick enough, he said something coldly, and ignored these so-called old friends.

At this time, two gendarmes who were ordered to escort him to Mandalay came over and wanted to confiscate his pistol.

Oda took off his pistol and handed it to two gendarmes.

However, he refused the request to hand over the saber, saying solemnly: "I will not go to Mandalay for trial!"

"This is an order from the military department! Are you going to disobey the military order?" a gendarme asked unfriendly.

With a calm expression on his face, Oda said to the two gendarmes: "No! I don't need to go back for interrogation. I want to commit seppuku to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

After the two gendarmes looked at each other, the expressions on their faces finally softened.

Because of the edification of Bushido spirit, devils value honor very much, especially for soldiers who choose to commit seppuku in order to maintain their honor, which is worthy of admiration.

Oda was defeated this time, and he could not escape the guilt, but he chose to apologize, and no one can stop such a request.

At this moment, a person came in from outside.

Every devil officer present in the Xinwei command immediately saluted and shouted: "General!"

Oda was taken aback, he didn't expect Shinichi Tanaka to come to Xinwei in person.

Tanaka Shinichi looked at the wronged Oda, and comforted him: "There is no need to hide it now. Oda-kun followed my instructions and implemented a plan called pulling out the thorns. This is a defeat I deliberately created. , In fact, it was a play, a show for the opponent!"

He knew that this scene was a failure, but he had to continue to act: "I admire Oda-kun's acting skills, the acting is so realistic! According to the intelligence of the scouts, the advance team is coming to Xinwei, and they are fooled We have already entered the ambush circle set up by our army!"

The other officers were stunned when they heard it. It turned out that it was acting, but the acting was too real, right?

Seeing that Tanaka Shinichi personally came to Xinwei City to sit in the city, it is enough to show that he attaches great importance to this plan.

Tanaka Shinichi continued: "The empire is invincible, so how could it fail? Pretending to be defeated is part of the assassination plan, and has nothing to do with Oda-kun's command. I will naturally explain this to the headquarters."

Xiaotian was extremely ashamed in his heart, the performance was messed up, he didn't control it well, and the chariot squadron was beaten really badly by the enemy.

But he understood that General Tanaka said this on purpose in order to restore morale.

Shinichi Tanaka rushed to Xinwei on purpose, spoke for him, and clarified the misunderstanding.

He was really grateful, and immediately stated: "General, for the sake of the empire and the destruction of the enemy, I am willing to accept these grievances!"

Shinichi Tanaka nodded in satisfaction: "Go back to Mandalay first and explain the battle situation clearly. The base camp will not wrong a good commander."

"Hi!"

Xiaotian immediately bowed his head and was completely bought by Tanaka's strategy, becoming his confidant.

Then Tanaka briefly explained his plan to pull out the thorns to these stupid subordinates present, and then ordered: "Now I order-all the troops will act immediately and encircle the enemy on all sides. Before Guijie, destroy the advance group here!"

"Hi! Hi! Hi!  …"

The large and small military assistants in the headquarters immediately bowed their heads and took orders.

……

Xinwei, like Lashio, is one of the most important checkpoints on the Yunnan-Burma Highway and an important trading city in northern Myanmar.

This place can reach Nankan in the north, Lashio in the south, and Hoban and Gunlong in the east. It is a very important transportation hub.

Moreover, the terrain here is relatively flat and open. There is a hill to the north. Over the hill is Xinwei City. You can even overlook the entire Xinwei City from the hill.

On the east, west and south sides, there are relatively open plains.

This is very unfavorable for Xinwei's guards, and it is a difficult place to defend and attack.

The Japanese army knew this very well, so they focused their defense on the Guijie area.

The reconnaissance information obtained by the advance group provided detailed reference data for the New Thirty Division and the Miguo Aircraft. The devil's defensive position in Guijie seemed to be empty.

Seeing that Guijie was about to be breached, in order to eliminate the hated advance group, Tanaka Shinichi had to formulate a plan to "injure the enemy one thousand and hurt eight hundred", which can be described as painstaking.

When the advance team arrived two kilometers away from Xinwei, the road ahead was destroyed!
The devils felled the big tree on the side of the road and laid the big tree across the road to form a roadblock to prevent the chariot company from approaching the position.

And behind the fallen tree, there were more than a dozen devil soldiers lying on their stomachs.

Everyone held a pack of explosives in their arms, silently waiting for the arrival of the advance group.

The chariot company still opened the way ahead, and when it approached these roadblocks, it was ready to hit them directly.

But suddenly, more than a dozen devils with white cloth strips wrapped around their heads jumped out of their hiding places one by one.

Holding the explosive packs in their arms, they rushed towards the chariot company like desperadoes one by one.

The two tanks driving at the front bear the brunt.

The machine gunner began to shoot wildly, knocking down three devils on the spot.

However, due to the short distance, the shooting angle of the vehicle-mounted machine gun was limited, and it was impossible to intercept all the devils.

Seeing that a dozen devils were about to rush to the tank with explosive packs, the situation was very critical. At this moment, gunshots erupted around the tank.

The infantry following the tank flashed out from behind the tank's buttocks, and fired at the dozen or so devil soldiers who rushed over.

The gang of little devils who were beaten raised a cloud of blood mist, and fell to the ground one by one howling.

The advance regiment had received special infantry-tank coordination combat training. This time, Gao Fei allocated a platoon of troops to each tank, specializing in infantry-tank coordination.

The tanks cover the infantry's attack, and the infantry is also responsible for protecting the tanks from approaching with explosives like this.

Although the devils who rushed up were knocked to the ground, the fuses on the explosive packs they held in their hands continued to burn.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the fuse burned out, several huge explosions sounded.

Those devils were instantly blown to pieces!
There seemed to be a rain of blood in the air, and bits and pieces of meat and bones fell down crackling.

The Sherman at the front was hit by the explosion, its tracks were blown off, and it came to a complete stop.

Holding the binoculars, Gao Fei saw the scene where the devils used body bombs to blow up the tank, and knew that the devils were at the end of their rope, and they were about to die.

"Regimental seat, the chariot company has lost two chariots."

Kang Ya felt that he was careless this time.

"It's okay, thanks to the infantry following this time."

After the chariot company was attacked by devils, it needed maintenance, so Gao Fei ordered the advance regiment to stop advancing and take a short rest.

Originally, he planned to use the assault ability of the chariot company to rush to the city of Xinwei to see if he could take Xinwei directly.

Now it seems that things are not as easy as he thought.
