Tanks were considered unsuitable by the British staff for jungle combat, so the British army did not have tanks in the Malay Peninsula, and there was not even a single British tank in the entire Malay Peninsula!

This could not have been more advantageous for the squadron

Twelve Chinese light combat vehicles of the "electric" type appeared on the battlefield.

Sun Lianshen showed his sharpest judgment on the battlefield. Instead of, or even resolutely refusing to use heavy tanks, he used light tanks that were more maneuverable and more suitable for jungle combat, which gave the squadron a huge advantage from the very beginning of the battle.

And the British are beginning to taste the bitter fruit.

They don't even have a tank on the Malay Peninsula. There is simply no way to withstand the attack of the Chinese, and it is helpless to face the attack of the Chinese under the cover of the tank.

The British retreated very quickly.

At Cokoruda, the British abandoned the area after only symbolic resistance, allowing the squadron to occupy the main road without much resistance. Then, the good days of the squadron came.

A large number of supplies and chariots were continuously transported to the Malay Peninsula. This also made General Sun Lianzhong, who was commanding at the front, breathe a long sigh of relief:

These damn quartermasters have finally delivered everything they need!

Then, naval aviation also joined the attack on the Malay Peninsula even more frantically.

There was even better news, the Siamese government clearly saw that the British could not stop the Chinese, and they had to think carefully about their future.

After simple but intense negotiations, the Siamese government agreed to the Chinese using their military bases to launch a larger offensive against the British.

The air raid sirens sounded, and the British and Indian soldiers of the Indian Third Army on the positions scattered in all directions.

They saw groups of Falcon fighters and Thunder bombers appear in the cloudless sky. After circling the positions for a week, the Chinese planes began strafing and dropping bombs.

The British anti-aircraft guns set up in the positions opened heavy fire on the Chinese planes, and the clear sky was full of gray smoke clouds. There is no longer a peace one here.

"Lieutenant Colonel Deng Huaxia, commander of the tank battalion of the 7th Light Armored Division, has come to report."

"How's it going at sea?" Sun Lianzhong said straight to the point: "Is there any loss?" ”

"In the event of an attack by a battleship, there were no losses in the personnel and equipment of the troops"

"Lieutenant Colonel, is your tank battalion complete?" Sun Lianzhong asked.

"Yes, our battalion has three tank companies and 81 tanks, of which 60 are 'electric' Type 6 and 21 are 'Rain, Type 3'. A transport company consisted of 10 trucks and tankers, with a total strength of 1,290 troops. People have assembled at the docks, and equipment is being unloaded. ”

Sun Lianzhong's eyes flashed with excitement.

He said loudly to Gao Sun Liren: "Commander Sun, I have already equipped you with 12 chariots in your division, and now there is another chariot battalion, and we already have the capital for a large-scale attack. ”

The big offensive has begun!

Target - Stuyan Trik on the Malay Peninsula!

Second Lieutenant Ma Shipei's chariot company was the vanguard of the attack on Stuyantrek. He opened the turret of the Electric-6 vehicle with the hatch of the chariot and the upper body of the vehicle, and through the rolling torrent, he tried his best to keep an eye on the rear of the vehicle in front of him.

The dust makes it difficult to see the road and the vehicles in front of you. The road to Stuyantrek was terrible

The chariot was upside down in the rocks and pits, and the steel parts hurt Ma Shipei, the only benefit of this pain was that the drowsy man could not sleep. Since the start of the offensive, they have been fighting during the day and maintaining vehicles at night, and the endless dust has gotten into the air filters, piston rings, exhaust pipes, batteries, and gearboxes. Dirt fills the turret rails, and the turret rotates with great effort, but the order cannot be resisted: ...,

Offensive! Offensive!

The armored forces drove through the wadi river bed and wadi valley and along the commercial trail to approach Stuydrik. Judging by all the circumstances, the British were not going to give up Stuydrik easily.

The attack was launched at dawn. Ma Shipei's chariot and other chariots in the company were arranged into a triangular echelon to facilitate the development of firepower. The chariot rumbled over the pebbles on the riverbed and the rocks on the mesa as it approached the town of Stuydrek. The leading one of them carried their battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Su Xingman.

An "electric" Type 6 tank was blown off its tracks by a mine while approaching the barbed wire line. As soon as the rest of the chariots approached the range of the artillery, they opened fire before the enemy, and they all followed Sun Lianzhong's instructions, regardless of whether they had a target or not, and mentally shocked the enemy first.

The British's 2-pounder anti-tank guns began to fire back.

The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke and bullets. After a period of artillery fighting, Ma Shipei's chariot leapt across the open land, leveled the barbed wire and rushed to the trench. He saw in the periscope several British gunners screaming and fleeing from the anti-tank guns. The radio operator and machine gun shooter mercilessly swept them all down with a machine gun.

The rest of the tanks followed Ma Shipei's tank and rushed into the streets, and the machine-gun positions built along the street fired frantically at the Chinese tanks, and the bullets clanged on the armor plates.

Ma Shipei's gunner, Li Tao, took out a machine gun nest with a single shot. The driver drove towards another firing point, and the occupants of the car heard several terrible screams.

Chinese chariots marched along the streets of a mixture of English and Malayan styles, and the houses marched as they went.

The streets were lined with British soldiers and trucks, machine gun bullets killed the British one by one, and the trucks were hit and caught on fire. The Chinese soldiers were infected with a murderous and ruined frenzy, as if to vent their anger on the offensive path.

Several Chinese chariots rushed through the town of Stuyan and drove into the trail to chase down the British as they fled

Sun Liren restrained them, and his target was limited to Stuyan Trek. The British troops raised their hands and surrendered, most of them Indian troops, wearing thick wrappers in the hot sun!

Most of the resistance was made by the Sikhs, who were unusually accurate in their marksmanship, killing some Chinese soldiers and infantry with vintage Winchester rifles.

The squadron, supported by chariots, easily captured Stuyantrek. But they didn't stop attacking, but quickly set their sights on the next target:

Langani!

It's dark

The sound of the engines of the British Curtiss and Spitfires was particularly clear in the night.

All the headlights went out at once, and the Chinese soldiers fumbled in the darkness again. The British plane dropped two flares, then dived and strafed, dropped a few more small bombs, and flew back.

#阝华夏估计它们的基地在南方. Obviously, the British army still has a force to be reckoned with in the Malay Peninsula. He even doubted that once the British understood that the Chinese soldiers they were facing only one lightly armored division, they would easily withdraw there.

When the #阝Huaxia Chariot Battalion was moving forward, Sun Lianzhong was already planning his next move. He did not want to see the British flee, and he wanted to surround and destroy the defenders of Langani.

What is important in a war is not how many places to occupy, but the destruction of the enemy's technical equipment and troops. Its tactical principles are much like the principles of naval warfare, searching for and destroying the enemy's fleet.

Sun Lianzhong ordered naval aviation to send planes and risk landing at Langani airport. According to the Air Force, that airfield has been abandoned. A group of commandos was to lay mines on three trails east and north of Langani to stop the retreat of the British convoy in Langani.

Sun Lianzhong also ordered Lieutenant Colonel Su Xingman's chariot battalion to send a chariot to the north day and night to cut off the road to Langani from the east. He was going to besiege and annihilate the defenders of Langani.

However, the British had already set up a heavy army in Langani, and they had apparently decided to hold on to the place for a while....,

Before the attack was launched, Sun Lianzhong sent people with an ultimatum to Langani to persuade him to surrender. But the persuasion to surrender hit a wall in front of the British. The officer was sent back blindfolded, and the enemy did not intend to surrender at all.

Sun Lianshen was not reconciled and sent him again in the afternoon. The result was the same, and the messenger returned with a scribbled letter:

We will not surrender.

This is the British style. They are not French, nor are they Siamese. The British were among the best soldiers, and it didn't take long for Sun Lianzhong to see their resistance. Langani can only be solved by force, and it is simply impossible to think of it without paying the price.

Sun Liren on the front line redeployed his forces in the south. The British army in the south was negligent in its defense. He chose a low gap in the wall, adjusted the range of his cannons, and launched a surprise attack.

When artillery and 88-mm anti-aircraft guns broke the walls, the infantry of the machine-gun battalion rushed into the gap. They were counter-charged by the British forces in Langani. At this moment, 10 "electric" Type 6 tanks arrived in time.

The breach was quickly torn open, and #阝华夏和孙立人都乘坐战车冲入城堡, the chariots were rampaging through the streets, machine-gun fire on the panicked British soldiers.

Half an hour later, the town of Langani was divided into two. The British forces in the eastern half began to flee along the city walls to the east and northeast, just in time to encounter the mines and machine-gun fire deployed by Sun Lianzhong the day before.

The fleeing enemy was routed, most surrendered, and a small part disappeared into the jungle.

Most of the Langani defenders were concentrated in the west, as they estimated that the Chinese soldiers would definitely attack from the west. When the center of the town was in disarray, the British army wavered. From commanders to soldiers, everyone wants to grab a truck and escape for their lives.

#阝华夏的战车横在镇子中央, cannon after cannon was fired, setting British trucks on fire. The road was immediately blocked, and the British had no way to escape. Sun Liren ordered surrender, and a British general gentlemanly accepted the order to surrender.

Langani was captured by Sun Liren in only half a day!

From the landing on the Malay Peninsula to the present, the squadron has been overwhelming!
