Tao Ran and the eight remaining soldiers of the third company turned their heads to look back, only to see a number of M1A1 main battle tanks painted with urban camouflage rushing out in the thick smoke of gunpowder, the long barrel pointed directly at the Japanese attacking troops, and the gun barrel continued to erupt with the breath of death.

In contrast, the Japanese tanks were like bean sprouts when compared to the Han tanks, and the shells of the Han M1A1 tanks could cause a devastating death for a Japanese tank almost as soon as it hit the Japanese tank.

For a while, the battlefield was like fireworks, and the Japanese tanks that were originally showing off their might and might moved their bodies slowly to avoid it, but the Han army's shells were like being equipped with tracking devices, and they could always hit accurately.

In any case, the Japanese tanks were still much worse than the Han tanks.

Seeing this, the remnants of the Japanese tanks could only launch a suicidal counterattack, but after a burst of shelling, as the smoke cleared, they were shocked to find that their shells could not penetrate the front armor of these Han tanks, and could not even leave a hole in it.

The desperate Japanese tank crews could only wait in the tanks in despair for the artillery fire of the Han tanks.

Next, the Han tank troops were like ordinary training to shoot fixed targets, and wiped out the Japanese tanks one by one, and the Japanese infantry units had already seen that the situation was not good and retreated decisively, but the speed of the infantry was too slow after all, and they could not outrun the mechanical tracks of the Han tanks.

Han tanks quickly rushed out of the positions of the surviving soldiers of the third company, and used vehicle-mounted machine guns to frantically strafe the fleeing Japanese infantry in front.

An M1A1 tank suddenly stopped in front of Tao Ran and a few others, the hatch at the top of the tank turret suddenly opened outward, and with a "clang" sound, an officer wearing a tank cap and a two-bar one-star rank on his shoulder jumped off the tank and came to Tao Ran and others.

Seeing the officer's rank clearly, Tao Ran immediately stood up straight, gave the officer a military salute, then stretched out his hand and shook the officer, and said: "Hello Major Commander, I am the temporary company commander of the third company of the second battalion of the first regiment of the seventeenth division of the third army, and there are only eight of us left in the entire company. ”

Hearing Tao Ran's words, the major officer's swarthy face couldn't help but be moved, and he raised his hand to salute the seven soldiers in front of him who were covered with blood stains and dust.

When most of the company's casualties were lost and there were only a few people left in the entire company, these soldiers could still stubbornly resist the attack of the Japanese troops, and such soldiers deserved to be the iron-blooded soldiers of the Han army!

I made up my mind that after this battle was over, I would definitely report the deeds of the three companies to the top.

But now, this is not the time to ask for warmth, the major officer said: "We are the 3rd Tank Battalion of the 11th Tank Regiment of the 11th Division of the Third Army, according to the latest news obtained by our department, the 5th Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division of the 3rd Army have arrived outside Hanjing City, and it is estimated that they will be able to arrive here soon.

Hearing the words of the major officer, Tao Ran and several soldiers of the third company glanced at each other, and replied very firmly: "Report to the battalion commander, the third company of the second battalion of the first regiment of the seventeenth division of the third army requests to follow your unit to continue the attack, and the battalion commander is also asked to agree." ”

"It's all good boys, I agreed, but you must follow the rear of our troops, after all, there are only a few seeds left in your company, you are the third company, if you are not there, the third company will also be gone, do you think I am right?"

The tank battalion commander's words couldn't help but be said by the several soldiers of the third company present who nodded again and again, and they all felt reasonable.

In this way, the two armies hit it off, and the Third Company, which was originally a very ordinary infantry company, gradually approached the title of Hero Company.

Outside the city of Hanjing, at the Purple Mountain Front Command Headquarters, a UH-60A Black Hawk helicopter landed on the Purple Mountain with the roaring sound of engines.

Xu Yang was dressed in a military uniform, looking very ordinary, although he had no military rank on his shoulders, but the only seniority badge on his chest made the senior officers present feel a lot of pressure.

There is only one person who can have this seniority medal in the entire Han Empire at present and in the future, and that is the commander of the royal army, navy and air force of the Han Empire, a member of the royal family of the Han Empire, and the emperor of the Han Empire, Xu Yang!

As soon as Xu Yang landed on the ground, the long-awaited supreme commander of the Purple Mountain Front Command, Major General Tao Ran of the Third Army, led many of his subordinates to greet him very respectfully, and they all stepped forward to shake hands with Xu Yang.

Finishing the scene with a polite smile, Xu Yang's face froze, and while walking towards the headquarters surrounded by everyone, he stared at Tao Ran beside him and asked, "How is the current war situation?"

Tao Ran was stared at by Xu Yang's dragon eye, and was a little speechless for an instant, but he quickly recovered, and replied with a slight stammer: "Return, return to Your Majesty, the current civil war in Hanjing City is very good, our army is currently cleaning up the mess, most of the capital has been recovered, except for a few stubborn people, it can be said that Hanjing City has been successfully recovered!"

After hearing Tao Ran's words, Xu Yang nodded with a smile and praised: "There is no doubt about the advance speed of the tank troops, but the most commendable thing should be the vanguard of the 17th Division of your Third Army, and the decisive spirit of this vanguard is what the royal army of my Han Empire should learn." ”

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the ferocity of the Japanese army is outrageous, but our officers and men can stubbornly hold their positions under the continuous reinforcements of the enemy, and even the last eight people in the entire company are still planning to do the last and most brutal white-knuckle battle, which none of us expected before the war. Without the bloody struggle of these officers and soldiers, the subsequent counteroffensive would not have been so smooth. ”

Tao Ran catered to Xu Yang, and thought happily, His Majesty the Emperor said this, this military merit must be recorded on our army, and if he is rewarded for his merits in the future, he will definitely be able to share a large piece of cake from the table called "power".

"In this case, first report the deeds of that heroic company of your army to the whole army by radio, and then discuss the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds after this battle. Xu Yang said as he walked into the front-line headquarters with Major General Tao Ran, who led the way in front.

After Xu Yang's group came in, the originally empty front-line command headquarters was instantly crowded, and a senior officer with a medal and seniority medal on his body gathered in a circle on the edge of the sand table, and a major officer was very nervously holding a wooden stick to report the current battlefield situation to everyone.
