"Xiao Hu..." The gunner rolled his eyes at him, still with the same cold tone, but he suddenly thought of something, grabbed the driver's leather hat behind his butt and threw it over: "If you don't want to get a bruise, just put it on."
Chen Tang smiled and expressed his gratitude again, and continued to fumble on the dashboard with his hands. Suddenly, the motor made a sound, and he finally touched the start button.
He quickly stepped on the clutch and started to ignite. As the starter motor made a chirping sound, the engine suddenly shuddered and finally started to ignite.
Chen Tang didn't dare to be careless and quickly pulled the gear lever into the gear. The gear lever on the tank was not ordinary, and he had to use all his strength.
Then he slowly released the clutch, pushed the joystick and controlled the throttle valve to provide fuel. With this operation, the tank slowly moved forward.
The forward movement of the tank is controlled by a pair of joysticks. If two joysticks are pushed forward at the same time, the tracks on both sides of the tank will operate at maximum horsepower at the same time, driving the tank forward. If you need to turn, pull one of the joysticks backward to slow down the track on one side, and push the other joystick to speed up. This also achieves the steering effect.
The stronger the pull, the faster the corner will turn. If you want to stop, reset the two joysticks, which are also the brake levers.
Driving also depends on talent, and this Sherman is becoming more and more proficient in his hands, and the speed of the car is getting faster and faster. Whether it is turning or starting quickly after braking, it is very smooth. People were also amazed.
The gunner Xiao Hu in the car was shocked. He didn't expect this kid to be so good, but it also aroused his competitive spirit.
"Turn 40 degrees to the left ahead and make an emergency stop!"
Chen Tang immediately received the order and steered the tank to turn sharply to the left. He then pulled back part of the joystick and stepped on the brakes. The vehicle body swayed quickly and came to a stop.
Xiao Hu immediately controlled the rotation of the turret and pointed the muzzle at a wooden house 500 meters away.
"500 meters to the southwest, one shot, let go!"
Then Xiao Hu stepped on the firing pedal. Although there was no shell in the barrel, this step also meant that he had completed a firing.
Chen Tang stepped on the clutch, shifted gears, and pushed the joystick forward. Chen Tang's actions were all done in one go. Because the throttle valve was not closed, the engine still maintained power output. Almost as soon as Xiao Hu finished shooting, he slowed down the tank again. It started moving and accelerated towards the target.
While driving at high speed, Chen Tang repeated his old trick, but this time he turned to the right to simulate avoiding enemy fire. At the same time, Xiao Hu was also adjusting the turret to aim the muzzle at the target again.
"One shot, let go!"
"Battal Commander, I'm not lying to you, this kid really has two skills." Mo Youcai shouted from the side, and he seemed to be more excited than the two people in the car.
Yuan Li remained silent, just looking at the two guys having a great time in front of him, but a smile finally appeared on his lips.
It seems that I really found a treasure this time.
…
At noon the next day, news of the fall of Nankan finally reached the headquarters of the Japanese 15th Army in northern Burma. Commander Shojiro Iida felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly, and he did not recover for a long time.
"Baga, it's the third division again. Didn't they just go through a big battle with the 18th Division? Why did they regain their combat effectiveness so quickly?"
"Don't you all talk a lot? Who can tell me...how do they do it!?"
With a heavy slap on the command chief's desk, Iida Shojiro roared out a series of questions, but no one present could give him an answer.
Since the first half of the year, the situation in western Yunnan, which was originally in a good situation, has been like a poison. The situation has taken a turn for the worse, and a large number of troops have been lost continuously. Even elites like the 18th Division have failed.
The fundamental reason lies in the sudden emergence of a Chinese army, which seems to be irresistible. How many imperial soldiers does Myanmar have? More than 20,000 people have been reimbursed by this army.
Almost every once in a while, a piece of information is sent to Iida's office. This is the information about the commander of the mysterious army.
But what is puzzling is that no matter how the special high school looks up this person, it can no longer dig out more useful information except some basic experiences. It is as if this person appeared out of thin air and all his deeds were arranged in advance.
But he doesn't have the extra energy to take care of this problem now. Now the 56th Division is trapped in a tight siege, and the 18th Division that rescued them has been beaten to the point of almost losing its strength. Even the division commander has been captured. The situation is extremely unfavorable for the Japanese and Burmese Front troops.
Originally, Iida was quite happy recently. The "Southern Guerillas" who fled all the way from Kuala Lumpur to northern Siam have been driven to northern Myanmar, which happens to be very close to the defense area of the 53rd Division.
The Southern Army Command is very concerned about this "guerrilla group". Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Toshiichi ordered that this gang of rabble must be eliminated so that the people of Southeast Asia understand that the Japanese Empire is not allowed to be provoked and forces them to Completely lost the confidence to resist.
So this is why Iida did not hesitate to send a division to contain the Self-Rescue Army, but he did not expect that the Chinese side would react so quickly.
The damn Chinese actually marched directly to the west and conquered their two major defensive positions on the Chinese border within two days. Even if Iida asked his own army, he might not be able to do this.
This is not over yet. According to intelligence, this Chinese army has been divided into two groups after the victory. One group is stationed in Nankan, and the other group continues to go south along the road and approaches the important town of Lashio in northern Myanmar. There is a The strategic location is also the logistics supply depot for the 53rd Division.
This alarmed many people. The 53rd Division, which originally went to poke someone's anus, now had to face the risk of having their monkey stolen.
In the shadow of the famous tree, perhaps no one in the Japanese army in northern Myanmar does not know the style of this Chinese army, and the commander is also a terrifying existence known as the Butcher.
In desperation, Shojiro Iida could only quickly send a report to the 53rd Division, ordering them to give up attacking the Self-Rescue Army and return to defend Lashio.
But the order had just been issued, and the main force of the 53rd Division had already entered central Shan State, already one or two hundred kilometers away from Lashio. It was impossible to get back in time if they wanted to.
At present, Iida only has the 31st Division and the 33rd Division left to mobilize, but these two divisions are left to defend the British on the Myanmar-India border and they dare not move them easily.
Moreover, the Indian side is not at peace during this period. According to the news from the scouts, the Chinese troops stationed in India and the British army are ready to move and are likely to launch an offensive in the near future...
