Chapter 553 Division Completed
553 split completed
In the vast wilderness, tanks were speeding and firing.
boom!
A "Matilda" tank was speeding at high speed, firing while running, and one shot hit a small Japanese tank several dozen meters ahead.
Blow it up directly!
"Haha, Ergou, great fight."
The commander of the Matilda tank praised the gunner.
boom!
Just at this moment, a shell fell next to their tank and almost hit their tank.
"Damn it, Lao Miao.
Watch out to the left!"
The conductor shouted loudly to alert the driver.
On the left side there was a Japanese anti-tank gun, firing at their tanks.
"Damn, this British tank is so damn hard to drive."
The driver below was complaining, but he was still driving the tank with all his strength, moving swiftly to avoid the attacks of the Japanese anti-tank guns.
The crew of this 'Matilda' tank is the ace crew of the armored division.
At this time on the battlefield, three of the Japanese tanks had been destroyed in succession, attracting the attention of the Japanese.
It was hit hard.
As a result, they were surrounded by three Japanese tanks and hit by many anti-tank guns.
This "Matilda" tank actually broke through and blew up an anti-tank gun of the Japanese in the distance.
This outstanding performance was directly seen by Zhang Kedi who was directing the battle from a distance.
"That tank belongs to that battalion. Give him credit for the great achievement."
Zhang Kedi shouted happily.
In this battle, hundreds of tanks from both sides fought together, and the scene was very spectacular.
Tanks were constantly being blown up by tank artillery, rockets and anti-tank guns on both sides.
This was a battle between the armored forces of both sides, and ordinary infantry could not get involved at all.
The Japanese 18th Division spent a huge amount of money in this battle.
However, the Japanese still underestimated the strength of Zhang Kedi's armored group.
There is a gap in equipment between the two sides.
The battle lasted from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Almost all the tanks deployed by the Japanese were destroyed on the battlefield.
Although Zhang Kedi's First Armored Division Group lost more than 20 tanks, its main force was still intact.
As most of the Japanese tanks were destroyed, the other tanks on the expeditionary force side quickly attacked in the direction of the Japanese.
Destroy the enemy's anti-tank guns and other artillery, and attack the enemy's infantry units.
"Kill him!"
Faced with these steel behemoths, the Japanese infantry could only launch the tactic of dying with honor.
This time, it was their turn to feel the helpless despair.
Da da da!
"Go to hell, you damned little devil."
On the armored division's tank, the gunner operated the machine gun and fired wildly.
All the Japanese soldiers who tried to rush over were shot to death, preventing these Japanese infantrymen from getting close to the tanks and blowing up the tanks with explosives.
In the end, the Japs fled in panic, leaving behind hundreds of infantry soldiers.
“Want to escape.
In front of my armored cluster, you can't defeat me and you want to run away.
Dreaming.
Pass the order, chase them with all your might, and destroy this enemy army for me."
Zhang Kedi grinned grimly and ordered all tank crews to pursue.
Beat up the drowning dog!
The two Japanese regiments were then chased for dozens of miles by the First Group of the Armored Division commanded by Zhang Kedi.
The two Japanese regiments were completely defeated, and their orderly retreat at the beginning turned into a major rout.
I don’t know how many Japanese soldiers fell under the artillery and machine guns of the armored division’s tanks.
The chase continued until dark, and Zhang Kedi was worried that they would be ambushed by the Japanese at night.
Only then did he order all the pursuing tank crews to withdraw.
This battle almost destroyed all the armored forces of the Japanese 18th Division, turning it into an ordinary Japanese division.
"idiot!"
In the headquarters of the Japanese 18th Division, the Japanese division commander Mutaguchi Ren'ya looked at the result of this battle, his face as excited as if he had eaten shit.
"Your Excellency, the Chinese armored force is too strong.
They were all equipped with tanks provided by the British, equipped with their bazookas and anti-tank guns.
Our tanks are no match for them."
The Japanese chief of staff next to him said helplessly.
"Baga, why, why do the Chinese have so many tank soldiers?"
Mutaguchi Renya roared.
The Japanese chief of staff didn't respond. This was obvious.
Either they were trained by Americans or by the British.
"Your Excellency, this is bad.
Our route to the west was occupied by the Chinese Army's armored forces."
Soon, Mutaguchi Renya continued to receive bad news.
The bad impact that the tank battle brought to them has not yet ended.
On May 86th, Zhou Pingkou arrived with the main force of the th Army and surrounded the Eighteenth Division of the Japanese in the Mittila area.
“Finally caught up.
Zhang Kedi has done a great job this time."
After Zhou Pingkou arrived, he was also very surprised to see that the Japanese 18th Division had not yet withdrawn.
Along the way, Zhou Pingkou hurriedly led the main force of the 86th Army, but the distance was far.
They don't have armored troops, but they have such a terrifying marching speed.
So, I came a little late.
Fortunately, Zhang Kedi and his men won yesterday's tank battle and delayed the westward advance of the Japanese 18th Division.
This bought time for the main force of the 86th Army to arrive.
On the morning of May 6th, Ye Qingshan looked at the map and saw the Japanese invaders were completely divided and surrounded into three parts, and he couldn't help laughing out loud with joy.
"Commander, now we have finally achieved our goal of dividing and encircling the Japanese 15th Army."
Chief of Staff Luo Zhuoying said with a smile.
“Well, six days.
It took longer than I expected.
I promised General Stilwell that the fighting would be over in a week.
I'm afraid I will have to break my promise this time.
Now, our goal of dividing and encircling the Japanese has been achieved.
However, if you want to eat them, it will take at least two or three days."
“Don’t worry, Commander, I’ve been keeping an eye on the southern battlefield.
The situation on the southern battlefield has been very stable these days.
The British troops commanded by General Stilwell did an excellent job in defending the second line of defense.
The Japanese 25th Army launched more than a dozen attacks, but still failed to break through all the British defense lines.
General Stilwell and his men can hold out for another three or four days, and there will be absolutely no problem."
"Ah That's good.
Please send a telegram for me later and tell General Stilwell.
We can only let them hold on for two more days."
The performance of the British army on the second line of defense in the southern battlefield in the past few days really surprised Ye Qingshan.
But this is a good thing for Ye Qingshan and the expeditionary force.
Now, they are only one step away from annihilating the Japanese 15th Army.
Ye Qingshan only hoped that at this critical juncture, the British army would not cause any trouble on the southern battlefield.
"By the way, have the new recruits from the country been added to the Sixth Army?"
Ye Qingshan suddenly asked Luo Zhuoying.
Before this, Stilwell had asked the domestic command to send an additional 50,000 new troops.
The day before yesterday, these 50,000 people arrived in Lashio.
