Yuan Li shouted at the top of his lungs, and the remaining eight armored vehicles quickly adjusted their formation, increased the accelerator, and ran over the little Japs on their backs.
Creak, creak, creak, creak…
"Escape!"
"Ah! Help me..."
The tracks made a screeching sound on the ground, and the little Japanese who could still move hurriedly evacuated backwards, while the Japanese who were injured and unable to move could only lie on the ground and wailed.
The armored convoy would not be polite to them, regardless of whether they were corpses or living people. They pressed over them and crushed these island monkeys who did all kinds of evil into flesh.
Seeing that the position was about to be lost, the Japanese commander immediately ordered the soldiers to rush toward the tanks desperately with explosive bags in their hands, attempting to destroy these armored vehicles with suicide attacks.
"Kill! Onboard!"
"Tsktttttttttttttttttttttttttttts...!"
There is also a mounted mg3 machine gun behind each armored vehicle. The machine gunner shoots at the little devils who are charging towards them with their claws and teeth.
The soldiers in the back warehouse also picked up submachine guns and fired at the enemies through the shooting holes in the side armor. The sudden density of projectiles sent these little devils dancing on the spot.
A Japanese man was hiding quietly in the trench. The armored vehicle was less than 10 meters away from him. As the vehicle slowly moved forward, it got closer and closer to his hiding place.
Seeing that the distance was almost there, the Japanese soldier decisively opened the fuse, picked up the explosive bag and jumped:
"The sky falls on board!...Boom!"
The soldiers on the armored vehicle had no time to react. The tracks were blown off by the sudden sneak attack, and the vehicle nest fell to the ground.
Seeing that the attack was effective, more and more little devils rushed over despite the hail of bullets, because they knew that if these armored vehicles were not stopped, the entire position would be penetrated!
This armored vehicle was unable to move due to damaged tracks, and instantly became the target of the Japs' attacks. The bullets crackled against the steel plate, suppressing the soldiers who dared not come forward to fight back.
At this time... the little devil threw two smoking grenades into the open roof of the rear compartment of the armored vehicle.
boom! boom!
The flying shrapnel exploded the soldiers inside into sieves, and the people in the cab were not spared. They were brutally shot by the little Japs who climbed on the roof of the car.
"Damn it, all the cars are coming towards me, don't stop, keep moving forward!"
Yuan Li felt like his heart was bleeding when he saw this scene. Armored vehicles were still inferior to tanks and were too vulnerable to infantry attacks.
Suddenly, there was another commotion in the Japanese defense line. Hong Mu's second echelon also entered the battlefield. They rushed into the Jaap's position through the opening opened by Yuan Li.
The machine gun on the armored vehicle sprayed out deadly fire snakes, constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy. The infantry moved forward under the cover of vehicles. After entering the position, they immediately made a horizontal assault and quickly divided and surrounded the enemy.
The fierce fighting continued, but the Japanese defense line was broken. They were unable to stop the all-out attack coordinated by infantry and vehicles. The Japanese captain had no choice but to order a retreat.
But how could two legs outrun a wheeled half-track vehicle? The 27 armored vehicles did not stop after passing through the Japs' position, but continued to move forward because their target was the last line of defense outside the town.
The infantry behind them had already held back the Japanese troops, and even if they wanted to withdraw to the town and fortify their defenses, it was too late.
More than two dozen armored vehicles rushed into the town of Mangshi like a broken bamboo. The little Japanese who stayed here could not stop the assault of the torrent of steel and had to retreat into the city. The last line of defense was opened by Yuan Li again.
"Get off! Get off!"
With a "bang" sound, the tailgate was opened heavily, and the driver immediately called for the soldiers to get out of the car and prepare for battle.
Each of the twenty armored vehicles that followed behind was fully loaded with a squad of soldiers. After arriving at the location, they began to "unload" more than 200 soldiers in squad units. Under the command of their respective squad leaders, they cooperated with the armored vehicles and gradually cleared the city. .
"Let the infantry follow the armored vehicles and don't get too far away!" Yuan Li immediately gave the order.
In hand-to-hand street fighting, armored units are more vulnerable to enemy threats. In this case, infantry must be accompanied by infantry to cover each other and advance slowly.
It was just the first time for the soldiers of the third regiment to play infantry combat coordination. It was obvious that they did not understand the basic principles of tactics, and they rushed towards the armored vehicles farther and farther away.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The desperate Japanese soldiers set up their machine guns and prepared to shoot. Yuan Li and the others were not polite and fired two shots directly into the soul. In an instant, sandbags and soil were blown up into the sky.
How could this small sentry post withstand the blows of two 37-guns? The dust flying everywhere was accompanied by the remains of several little Japanese corpses.
The sergeant quickly retreated down the mountain with the surviving soldiers. With the few men in his hands, how could they dare to confront the armored troops head-on.
Ten armored vehicles, with their muzzles upright, continued to move forward at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. They rounded the hillside and suddenly found a flat open land in front of them.
And 600 meters behind them, 20 armored transport vehicles and a battalion of infantry followed closely behind.
Yuan Li frowned and stared at the crowded Japanese position not far away. He immediately pressed the intercom button: "Deputy Commander Hong, we are 200 meters away from the Jaap position. We have to speed up. The infantry must keep up. !”
"received!"
After speaking, Hong Mu put down the machine and quickly stood on the vehicle and ordered the soldiers: "Everyone, run up and follow the armored vehicle, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
…
"Enter the defense line!"
"Hayaku! Move..."
"Ready the battle defense artillery!"
There were constant shouts and shouts on the Japanese army's position. After receiving the signal, the little Japanese hurriedly entered their posts. Although there was a brief panic, they gradually stabilized their mentality under the command of their respective commanders.
The entire Mangshi garrison consisted of a thousand-man brigade. Except for the strongholds along the highway, most of the Japs' troops were concentrated on the outskirts of the town.
But when they saw dozens of armored vehicles approaching, all the Japanese soldiers were stunned. What the hell is this? When did the Chinese have so many armored troops?
Outside Mangshi, more than two dozen armored vehicles were parked quietly in the open space. Soldiers from the tank battalion were holding tools to inspect several vehicles that were emitting black smoke.
In the recent battle, the tank battalion was destroyed by the Japanese three armored vehicles during the assault, and the subsequent street fighting also allowed the crazy little devils to destroy two of them with suicide attacks.
The tank battalion lost five armored vehicles. In addition, the remaining armored vehicle bodies also suffered varying degrees of damage.
"How's the situation?"
"Battal Commander, the tracks of three tanks are damaged, and the brothers are repairing them. It's just that the No. 13 and No. 20 vehicles can't fire. It seems that there is an engine failure. We can't fix it for the time being..."
Yuan Li frowned and asked casually: "Isn't Qiu Guaizi from the Third Company good at repairing engines? Why don't you go find him?"
"He, he has touched Lao Maozi's tank, and he doesn't know how to handle this German thing." The soldier replied with a frown.
Although the sdkfz251 armored vehicle is powerful in functionality, its mechanical structure is relatively complex and seems a bit delicate compared with the grass-resistant Soviet weapons. No, after one battle, five or six vehicles were lying on the ground unable to move.
"Haha! Lao Yuan, you are so quick. Have you killed all the little devils in the city?"
Just when Yuan Li was racking his brains to think of a solution, Hong Mu, a laid-back and lazy man, walked over happily and said, "Hey, what's going on? Did you kill so many people?"
"Well, 5 vehicles were destroyed and 5 vehicles were damaged. I guess the attendants will curse when they find out." Yuan Li shook his head, his expression a little depressed.
Hong Mu rolled his eyes, a smile broke out on his round face again, and he comforted him with a heroic voice:
"Hey, it's okay. Isn't it worth it for us? It took half a day to wipe out his whole group, with less than 200 casualties. Where can we find such a battle? Don't worry, you won't curse people for no reason. , If I really want to trouble you, brother, I will carry it with you!"
This was true, and Yuan Li's anxious heart suddenly became enlightened, and he nodded gratefully to Hong Mu.
Because he had just arrived and had the experience of being captured by the enemy, he always felt that he was a little embarrassed. Except for him, most of the soldiers in the chariot battalion had this idea.
So much so that except for necessary training and exchanges, they are not willing to contact other people and just do their own thing silently.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, these guys are very aloof, but in fact they are not. They just have extremely low self-esteem and a cowardice developed in long-term detention.
At the same time, this group of people also wanted to perform well in front of Liao Mingyu in order to wash away the shame of being captured, so they had always been strict with themselves and acted cautiously, for fear of making mistakes and being looked down upon.
Fortunately, the officers of the Third Regiment are all young people. In addition, Yuan Li and others are indeed capable. Chen Jize and others have given them the greatest respect, not to mention people like Hong Mu who are familiar with Zhan. The officers and soldiers in the carriage camp mingled together.
This battle completely released their hearts. The bullets hitting the little devil were so hearty. Amidst the screams and wails of the Japanese, they finally found their lost honor.
…
The news of capturing Mangshi quickly spread to Longling, but because Liao Mingyu was still in Chanda, Fang Jingyao had full authority to handle all frontline affairs.
Now Xing Fuquan's second main regiment has been transferred back to Longling, and almost all the troops of the Honorable Third Division are stationed here.
After getting the news, Fang Jingyao immediately arranged for Ah Yi to lead the engineering regiment to Mangshi. Their task was to build bridges and roads at designated locations, build defensive positions and temporary command posts, so that the remaining two main regiments could attack as quickly as possible. Quickly engage in defensive battles.
It is now August 27th, and piles of supplies from the rear have been transported to Longling. Firearms, ammunition, supplies, transport trucks... countless supplies have filled several warehouses.
What I never expected was that another batch of heavy firepower was sent from above, including 18 37 battle anti-aircraft guns, 36 Bofors 75mm mountain guns, and several 155 and 105 howitzers. When all the artillery pulled back the artillery, During the group tour, Krupp was so surprised that he even missed two bowls of rice.
According to Liao Mingyu's instructions, 18 battle defense guns and 36 Bofors mountain guns were divided into three regiment-affiliated artillery battalions, and the soldiers were first selected from the artillery regiment.
The division artillery regiment has 12 155 howitzers, 24 105 howitzers and a large number of tractor trucks.
As early as the Sichuan Army, Li Liansheng and Krupp had already begun to expand the artillery unit. At that time, an artillery battalion had grown to a team of more than 1,500 people.
Moreover, this group of people did not play the role of auxiliary soldiers. During that time, they fought with the Takeuchi Mountains on both sides of the Nu River almost every day. Almost more than two-thirds of the soldiers had personally operated artillery. They had a certain shooting foundation, but they were just proficient. It's just not high.
Until now, the training of the artillery of the Third Division has always been a key focus. Someone's ancestral phobia of insufficient firepower is deeply rooted in his bones, and he does not hesitate to spend a huge price to train these half-baked artillery with live ammunition.
However, cultivating some experienced artillerymen does not happen overnight. Although the current number of artillerymen is sufficient, the quality is somewhat unsatisfactory.
There is no other way but to build up the troops first using the principle of bringing in the old and bringing in the new. As for the proficiency of the gunners... they can only be honed slowly in actual combat.
After all, time waits for no one. After the reorganization of the artillery unit is completed, the remaining two main regiments will go to the front line and engage in a head-to-head decisive battle with the 18th Division.
In addition to the Honorable Third Division, which is undergoing intensive reorganization, other expeditionary forces on both sides of the Nu River are also racing against time to take action.
First, the 20th Army slowly outflanked the east and north of Tengchong, and then the battle between the US Air Force and the Japanese Army Aviation gradually decided the winner.
In the absence of supplements and maintenance, the Tengchong Japanese Combat Flying Team was unable to fight a long-term and protracted war with the Americans. One of the few fighter planes was destroyed and one less one was lost. Soon they lost air superiority under the attack of the US military. .
The Americans would not be polite to them, and immediately launched day-in and day-out air raids and bombings on the defense lines in Tengchong. No matter how effective it was, it was at least powerful. The Japanese troops in Tengchong huddled together and did not dare to rashly block the encirclement. A Chinese army.
The 2nd Army arrived at Nantianmen on the 30th and took over the defense of the 71st Army. Yu Xiaoqing rushed to Longling with the three divisions of the 71st Army as planned and entered the combat position.
In Longling, the second main regiment is still adjusting, while Long Wenwen has already rushed to Mangshi with the first regiment. Because according to intelligence, the first unit of the 55th Regiment of the enemy's 18th Division has arrived 30 kilometers west of Mangshi today.
The war is about to break out. Both sides have invested everything in this war. There is no room for any slack or mistakes at this moment.
…
Now the troops and related personnel of the Honorable Third Division in Zenda have basically moved to Longling. The only ones who have not left are Liao Mingyu and the guard camp around him.
In the morning, he went to visit Mi Long. Fortunately, Tie Hanhan, who survived the disaster, did not receive any fatal injuries. He could recover as long as he rested for a while, but he was unable to catch up with the battle this time.
"Take a seat, have the troops already departed? Who is in charge of my battalion now?"
Mi Long, who was lying on the bed, asked Liao Mingyu curiously. His left leg was fractured. To put it mildly, it was broken by someone. He is still wearing a plaster. From his head to his entire upper body, he was covered in bandages, looking like a mummy.
"The troops have already reached Mangshi, and I have to go there soon, but don't worry about these things, just take good care of your injuries. Waiter, bring those things in for him!"
Liao Mingyu raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "You guys are in luck. This is a good old hen. I spent a lot of money to get it."
"Hey, what are you doing with this, uh, that... Sir, my leg will be able to have its plaster removed in two days. Why don't you let me go back to the army then?"
Milong suddenly made a request. All the brothers had rushed to the front line. To be honest, he really didn't want to miss this battle.
"Who the hell told you that you can run away after removing the cast? Just rest and recuperate. You have been impulsive more than once or twice. It's time for me to reflect on it!" Liao Mingyu flatly rejected his request, calmly He cursed angrily.
"Didn't I learn from you too..." Mi Long grinned and muttered in a low voice. He just killed a company commander, and he was not at the same level as him.
"What the hell are you talking about!?"
"No, no, no, I mean I will learn from you... No, I will reflect on it..."
…
After coming out of the hospital, Liao Mingyu did not leave the handicap immediately. Today was already September 1st. The reason why he did not leave was because he was waiting for the arrival of a troop.
