"You still underestimate him!"
Wei Lihuang smiled and shook his head. Who would have thought that Liao Mingyu, with the strength of one division, could defeat a standard Japanese division in a frontal battle, and even captured their division commanders.
"Commander, is this information accurate?" Huang Qixiang asked in disbelief.
"Well... arrange personnel to go to Mangshi immediately for verification. However, this matter is not trivial. I believe that with that boy's character, he will not lie about military information."
This battle report shocked everyone's attention. Wei Lihuang also looked proud and sighed. Liao Mingyu was really a great general. His achievements were unique throughout the history of the Anti-Japanese War.
"If that's the case, then we might as well let them turn around and attack Tengchong from the south now, which may play a better role in the entire battle." Huang Qixiang thought for a while and then put forward his own opinion.
"No, bringing them back now is of little use."
Wei Lihuang carefully read the content of the battle report, and at the same time carefully analyzed the next situation in his mind.
The reason why Liao Mingyu was able to achieve this great victory was that in addition to the combat effectiveness of his own troops, he also had certain advantages in the right time and place.
After all, the terrain of Mangshi gave the armor and artillery units the most wonderful battlefield environment. Coupled with the Japanese army's eagerness to break through and support, it is understandable that they achieved such an proud victory intentionally or unintentionally. But if they were now asked to turn around and fight Tengchong, the situation would be different.
Tengchong is surrounded by high mountains. It is very difficult for normal troops to march, let alone armored troops. Not to mention their heavy artillery, they cannot enter the mountains at all.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of the third division will be reduced by one-third immediately. Even if they rush to the outskirts of Tengchong, they will probably form a tug-of-war with the enemy like other troops, and it will be difficult to determine the outcome for a while.
Wei Lihuang, who was experienced and had a sharp eye, could not see this and immediately rejected the plan to transfer Liao Mingyu back to support.
"Just do what he wants. This kid is going to continue westward along the Burma Highway, regain the entire road and cut off the 56th Division's retreat, making it impossible for the Japanese in Myanmar to send reinforcements into China."
"Then 200 divisions..."
"Give it to him. After all, it won't be effective even if it comes to Tengchong. It's better to stay in his hands and kill more Japanese devils."
Wei Lihuang touched his chin and slowly placed the battle report on the table. At the same time, he quickly made a decision in his mind: "Notify the logistics department to send all kinds of supplementary supplies to the Third Division as a priority and try to meet all their military needs." It is necessary, and transportation efficiency must be ensured.”
"This...Commander, this is inappropriate. I'm afraid there will be disagreements if other troops find out." Huang Qixiang said in surprise. This partiality is too obvious.
Since the last time Zenda was bombed by the Japanese army, logistics supplies have been very tight. Now they have to give priority to the supply of the Honorable Third Division. It's no wonder that these arrogant soldiers agreed.
"Hmph! If anyone has any objections, let them come to me. If they can achieve a record like that of the Third Division, I will treat them the same. Otherwise, don't blame me for being partial. Don't envy others who are well-off and prosperous if you don't have the ability."
Huang Qixiang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. It seemed that Wei Lihuang really planned to protect his calf to the end, but think about it, which officer wouldn't like his subordinates who can fight without having to worry too much.
At the same time, in a large camp in Mangshi...
Liao Mingyu has locked himself in the camp for a long time. The purpose is obvious. It's time to pick fruits again.
"Uncle System, could you please settle the rewards this time?"
"Ding... In the statistics, it is detected that the Mangshi Blockade Battle is over. The entire battle lasted for 8 days. The troops successfully repelled and annihilated the Japanese 18th Division at the cost of 4,486 casualties.

The body armor and turret armor of this model have been strengthened, and the front armor is integrated, giving it high defensive capabilities. The frontal armor is 107 mm thick and has a certain angle, and the total weight is more than 30 tons. However, it has also been equipped with a new engine, so that its maximum speed can still reach 45 kilometers per hour.

Total combat weight: 1.5 tons.
Number of operators: 5 people. Redemption price: 400 points, report completed. "
Oh, Xie Damantou finally appeared, Liao Mingyu felt happy, it seems that the protagonist of the armored force is ready to appear.
There is also the pak40, which can be hailed as the king on the Eastern Front battlefield. Its functional diversity is exactly the same as the sdkfz251 armored vehicle. When installed on an armored vehicle, it is the predecessor of the self-propelled howitzer. It can be used as an anti-tank and as an infantry fighter. It is amazing.
As the last type of Sherman, the m4a3-e8 can be said to be the pinnacle of this type of tank. It has a good balance of various capabilities. It has greatly improved its firepower, armor, and mobility. It can completely compete with the Russian T -34/85 compared to the German Panther.
The biggest feature of this super steamed bun is that it is durable and has a low failure rate. The strength of its power system is even inferior to that of Soviet tanks.
I remember that the 6 Shermans of the 200th Division belonged to the early A1 type, and they all used 75mm short-barreled tank guns. The data in all aspects were not at the same level as the Big Mantou E8, but this was enough to torture the little devils. of.
If they were equipped with the E8 Sherman and a large number of half-track armored vehicles, wouldn't these guys be happy?
Liao Mingyu began to list a series of ideas and plans in his mind. Now that he had an armored force like the 200 Division, he would be sorry if he didn't hold them firmly in his hands.
First, they were kidnapped to Burma, and then they were gradually infiltrated into people's hearts through various equipment, and finally they were arranged to have their own direct descendants join them to draw out the firepower. Are you still afraid that the 200th Division is not named Liao?
Haha, Brother Gao, don’t blame me for having evil intentions. If you want to blame me, blame it on the difficulty in finding people who can drive tanks. Who allowed the 200 Division to have so many talents?
"Aqiu...grandma, what's going on?"
The Gaoji man who was still patrolling the army sneezed inexplicably. He thought it was due to the cold weather and a cold. Little did he know that at this time, a bad guy was thinking about his army...
