Chapter 748: The Fall of Marais
China's tank troops, assault for a long time, many tanks do not have much fuel, do not dare to continue driving, can only start the engine aimed at those tanks, anyway, the devil tank's armor-piercing shells can not damage their own tanks at all.
"Boom, boom, boom!" With the opening of tanks on the Chinese side, many thin-skinned coffins in Japan were destroyed!
"Retreat, all retreat, we are no match for those tanks, retreat!" said the division commander of the Japanese armored division.
He saw that the tanks on his side had suffered more than half of the casualties in the exchange of fire with the enemy for less than 20 minutes, and the enemy's tanks, the tracks of several vehicles had been blown up, and now they stopped there and couldn't move, and some of them had no fuel and didn't dare to start, but that's it, the division commander didn't dare to attack anymore now.
They couldn't destroy those tanks at all, and their own tanks, as long as they were hit by enemy tanks, would definitely be scrapped, so the division commander could only order his troops to retreat.
Soon, Inada received a telegram from the division commander requesting to retreat. In fact, he can see the situation on the battlefield now, and he also knows that the tanks on his side are not the opponents of Chinese tanks, so he can only silently express that he knows.
"Commander, our casualties are too heavy, the 3 divisions that just went up are now more than half of the casualties, if we continue to fight, I am afraid that those local recruits will mutiny, their casualties are too great." A staff officer walked up to Shoichi Inada worriedly and said.
"I know, damn it, now we have to fight, do you still want to retreat now, retreat now, Chinese bombers will definitely come and bomb, can we outrun those planes? Is it possible to outrun a tank on the ground? We must hold out until the evening, and at night we can safely retreat to the rear lines! Inada shouted at the senior staff officer.
"Hey!" The senior staff officer could only nod his head, not daring to say anything more.
Inada Shoichi actually knew in his heart that China had dispatched these many tanks, and the infantry had also come up, and it was impossible to drive them off the position, and then there would only be more and more Chinese troops, and after the infantry had completely stabilized the position, those tank units would be dispatched again.
In the afternoon, he was really going to be sad, he didn't feel it now, his troops were facing such an impact, could they still guarantee their morale, could they guarantee that they would continue to fight with the Chinese troops in the position, if once they were defeated and the soldiers began to flee, then no one would be able to stop them!
"Boom, boom, boom!" The Chinese tank forces continued to attack the retreating tanks until they had completely retreated beyond range, and the Chinese forces did not pursue them.
At this time, the tanks that still had oil began to retreat now, pushing to the back to replenish fuel and ammunition, and there were still ammunition and fuel, which continued to help the infantry troops defend their positions, and now the impact on the Japanese side is not so fierce, and many devil soldiers dare not go up now.
The Chinese infantry units went from a brief defensive, to the offensive again, and now the Chinese troops began to expand along the trenches to both sides, widening the gap.
"Da Da Da!"
"Cover me!" A soldier took out a grenade, shouted loudly, and then threw it vigorously towards a bend in front, just now there was a devil's heavy machine gun on that side, and the infantry suppressing this side couldn't rush through at all, so it had to be solved with grenades.
"Boom!"
"Rush over!" As soon as the squad leader next to him saw it, he immediately rushed over with a rifle, and before those devils could react, he had already rushed over there, holding an automatic rifle and starting to strafe, killing all the enemies in front of him who were threatening him.
"Refill the magazine!" When the squad leader saw that he had run out of bullets, he immediately shouted, and a soldier behind him followed, continuing to suppress the fire, and slowly more and more fighters rushed over, and they had already gained a firm foothold here.
"Boom, boom!" Tanks that have not yet gone back to refuel continue to fire their guns, shooting at positions where heavy machine guns can be seen, to reduce the pressure on the ground troops!
Half an hour later, many tank units had already replenished ammunition and fuel, and continued to drive forward, at this time Xiang Feng had already had a short meeting with those regiment commanders and brigade commanders here, originally Xiang Feng wanted to find a place to cut off the connection between the devil's defense line.
However, now Xiang Feng is not ready to fight like this, because if he fights like this, many local soldiers will surrender at that time, and the troops on Xiang Feng's side are not enough, and now they can only let those tanks fight directly along the trenches of the devils, continue to expand, and aim to annihilate the devils!
"Division commander, if you fight like this, we won't be able to give full play to the advantages of our tank troops!" A regiment leader opened his mouth to look at Xiang Feng and said.
"Why can't you play it, a row of tanks in front, followed by the infantry, rushing along the trenches, can those devils hold it, we are now rushing on the side, the speed of the impact is faster, now if we rush from the front, our infantry is not enough, we can't do our tanks without the protection of the infantry, then everyone will be burned inside.
Fight like this, so fast, the devils don't dare to retreat now, our bombers are waiting for them to come out, this afternoon, it's our best time to kill the devils, at night, those devils will definitely run, this line of defense has been beaten like this by us, there is no need to defend it, what are they waiting for if they don't run, just fight like this! Xiang Feng said to the group leaders.
"Okay, let's fight like this, but it's noon now, and our fighters are almost tired!" A brigade commander looked at the sun in the sky, then at his watch, and saw that it was almost 12 o'clock.
"Eat instant noodles, we can't stop, someone will send it to you later, now it's just to fight me, and there will be troops to support you later, this line of defense, we have to decide!" Xiang Feng said to those people.
"Understood!" Those cadres nodded, Xiang Feng said that the meeting was dismissed, and those cadres got into their own tanks, drove the tanks forward, and then beckoned their tank troops and began to assemble and prepare for the second wave of attacks.
The commander of the army, Ding Wanzhong, also received a telegram from Xiang Feng and immediately sent a telegram to several other divisions, ordering them to follow the tank attack and strive to kill more devils before dark.
"Brother Bin, Brother Bin, good news, Xiang Feng's side has penetrated the devil's position, considering that our infantry is insufficient, afraid that the infantry will not be able to hold the gap, Xiang Feng ordered the tank troops to assist the infantry, along the devil's trench, expand to both sides, and eliminate the devil as much as possible!" Mo Shot came over with a telegram and said to Hu Bin.
"That's good, the infantry is indeed a little less!" Hu Bin nodded when he heard it and said.
"Really didn't hold it for 24 hours?" After Li Dalong saw the telegram, he looked at his watch and found that it had only been more than 3 hours since the start of the attack, and he had broken through the devil's defense, which made Li Dalong quite surprised.
"It's normal, as I just said, if it's all Japanese troops, if we want to storm the past, it is estimated that it will take a few days, or maybe 24 hours, but now it is less than 3 hours, and it will be penetrated." Hu Bin heard it, nodded with a smile and said.
"Why? Those local recruits in Mandalay have been training for six months, so they can't be any worse, right? Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"Have you ever fought a puppet army?" Hu Bin looked at Li Dalong with a smile and asked.
"I've fought, but we don't really fight, generally we see them, whoever has the advantage, will not fight to the death, unless the puppet army is those hardcore puppet soldiers, otherwise when they fight us, the muzzle of the gun will be raised, we will not shoot at them, it is to fight devils, but what does this have to do with the puppet army! I've heard that those who serve in the army seem to be voluntary! Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and said.
"It doesn't matter much, but their psychological estimation is about the same, they just want to eat, I heard that Japan is very good to the families of those who are soldiers, so can they not be voluntary? But it's another thing to be desperate, they don't want to fight for the devil.
Therefore, if it is a local recruit to defend, it is absolutely possible to break through in 24 hours, even if the tank troops are not dispatched, that is, the infantry to fight, they can also break through, if it is a ghost soldier, it will be difficult to fight, they will fight desperately, the tank has passed, they are estimated to be holding the explosive bag to drill under the tank, and our tank is not absolutely safe! Hu Bin smiled and explained to Li Dalong.
"Oh, yes, but, I've heard that those local soldiers are fighting well in the United States, why?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and asked again.
"That's the clever thing about the devils, think about it, those local soldiers who were transferred to the Americas, can they run apart from fighting?" Hu Bin looked at Li Dalong and asked.
"No, in the Americas, the people over there don't look like us, and they can be caught if they escape!" Li Dalong shook his head and said.
"Yes, so they can only fight, and they can only fight desperately, if they don't fight hard, the people of the United States will kill them!" Hu Bin looked at him with a smile and said.
"Also, there is no way out, so I can only fight!" Li Dalong heard it, nodded and said.
However, at this time at the headquarters in Mandalay, Iida Shojiro was not happy, because a telegram was sent from the Marais side, the position had been broken through, and they could not take it back at all, which meant that the Marais defense line, which they had high hopes for, was not blocked for a day!
