Chapter Seventy-Two: Armored Assault

"Open fire" In the face of the Thai infantry rushing over like locusts, Joy sneered and gave the order to fire, if the Japanese boasted that they could defeat a regiment of the Chinese army with one squadron, then Joy would agree that the Japanese army could defeat a regiment of the Thai infantry with only one squadron, these guys wearing boat-shaped soft military hats and high leggings looked very good, but the actual combat effectiveness was not even half of the combat effectiveness of the Burmese mercenary army formed by Thunder.

As the roar of the "boom" engine suddenly increased, Joey's only 6 Tiger tanks burst out of the bushes, followed by 12 light Stalker armored vehicles. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The Tiger with super firepower has fired its first shot, and several clouds of smoke rose from the Thai infantry formation, "We are up, we are on" The light stalker was not willing to be left behind, and used the strongest horsepower to insert it from both wings into the Thai infantry formation.

Joey's armoured divisions were unwieldy in the mountainous terrain of northern Burma, and the most they fought at each time were light stalkers and British tanks, and the Tiger and Renault tanks were not very useful. Well, Joey, who rushed to Thailand day and night, happened to meet the vanguard infantry of the Thai army preparing to besiege Thunder, and seeing that the terrain here was good, Joey simply sent the Tiger to it, and the guys in the provincial Tiger squad came to annoy themselves all day long.

Compared with the Tiger, the Light Stalker is a bit thin, and the armor defense is not as strong as the Tiger, but the Light Stalker has a speed that the Tiger cannot match, and the average depth is three times that of the Tiger, and the Light Stalker can quickly accomplish things that the Tiger can't, such as quickly interspersing and intercepting enemy retreats. The machine gun shooters who lifted the top of the cap opened fire desperately at the Thai infantry, and the Browning heavy machine gun could easily tear through all the obstacles that stood in their range, including the bean tanks that the Japanese gave to the Thai army.

"Boom" A bean-type tank that had just been drilled out of the infantry formation was hit into a fireball by the heavy machine guns on the two stalkers, this kind of Japanese tank called a tin can by the Thunder Force couldn't help but hit at all, as early as when he was in Shanxi, Zhao Zhi's mercenaries only destroyed this kind of thing with the captured Type 92 heavy machine gun. The Japanese light tanks were papier-mâché in the face of the Browning heavy machine guns, as evidenced by the large bullet holes in the body of the bean tank, which could easily penetrate its armor.

"These losers, go and inform them, those tin cans are still useful, don't blow them all up for me." Joey, who saw the three bean tanks with smoke and fire, was distressed, and these boys were too uneasy, knowing that the tin cans couldn't help but fight, and they were going to surround them and beat them up. Although this thing is not good in the face of strong firepower, it is still good to use it against the general infantry charge, at least the infantry's guns can't shoot through its armor, and Joey wants to get a few tin cans to play with.

The Tiger tanks cruising on the periphery of the battlefield roared into the battle group, and directly used their huge bodies to wrap the remaining four bean tanks of the Thai army into dumplings. The 37-mm short-barreled guns of the "boom" "boom" bean tanks fired at the Tiger, but unfortunately the shells they fired were simply tickling the Tiger, and at most they left some scorched black on the armor of the Tiger. The "oh" combat weight did not exceed 5 tons, and the Tiger immediately deviated from its driving path with a slight collision, and if this was a full force collision of the Tiger, the Bean-type tank would immediately be knocked apart.

The Tiger and the Stalker are like teasing children, and they pin these bean tanks diagonally one after the other, the Tiger in front is not afraid of short-barreled guns and machine gun fire, and the back is the Stalker equipped with heavy machine guns, and the bean tanks that the Thai army relies on have become Joey's trophies at this time. The strong attack of the armored forces turned the tide of the war upside down, the Thai army with the cooperation of a large group of Japanese troops gathered more than 30,000 infantry to prepare to besiege the vanguard of Thunder here, and the 5,000 Jewish troops who were originally fighting with them had planned to retreat, but with the arrival of Joey, the battle seemed to have turned into a counter-attack.

If the Tiger tank's formidable armor and destructive power are intimidating, then the ghostly light stalker is the nightmare of the Japanese-Thai alliance, the super-fast light stalker never follows common sense when moving, and the 75 mountain guns brought by the Japanese brigade have been aimed at the stalker several times, but unfortunately at the moment when the cannon is discharged, the stalker has already run away. Straight, serpentine, looping, and walking, the black stalkers on the battlefield used heavy machine guns to fire fiercely at the Thai infantry while moving quickly, and as for the bullets fired by the Thai infantry, the most they shot at the stalker was to leave a few marks on the hull, and the crew in the stalker was unscathed.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Joey gave the order to attack on all fronts, and the tanks and armored vehicles of all the armored divisions that had been hidden all the time rushed out of the bushes and rushed to the battlefield like hungry beasts for a long time. Joey's armored division now has 6 Tiger tanks, 16 light stalkers, 20 heavy stalker rocket artillery vehicles, and 12 light and heavy tanks captured from the Japanese army and 25 British and French tanks.

"Boom" "Boom" The first to suffer was the Japanese brigade that dominated the cooperative war, first defeat the Japanese army and then clean up the Thai army, this is an order dictated to all the charioteers before Joey gave the order to attack. The Thai army dared to take such an arrogant initiative to exchange fire with thunder, but it was just relying on the Japanese army to support it behind the back, so as long as this Japanese army was surrounded and killed in front of the Thai army, tens of thousands of Thai troops on the battlefield would definitely be unstable, and maybe there would be a big rout.

A few light stalkers quickly interspersed with the Japanese brigade's position, followed by several Sherman tanks, and the machine gun shooters on the Japanese position and the machine guns of the stalkers fired at each other, but they seemed to have found the wrong opponent. The Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun bullets clanged and sparkled on the stalker's body, but they could never shoot through the stalker's armor, but the Stalker's Browning heavy machine gun could easily shoot through their machine gun bunker made of sandbags, and only one round of three-minute machine gun fire, the four Type 92 heavy machine guns of the Japanese brigade were destroyed in the fire with the stalker.

More than 20 Japanese soldiers with explosives bags and mortar shells crossed their positions and rushed towards the stalkers who were approaching them, but unfortunately the heavy machine guns on the stalkers were not something that the Japanese infantry could fight. Within a range of 200 meters, the Japanese daredevils fell one after another in a pool of blood, and those daredevils who were crawling on the ground could not escape the rain of bullets from Browning's heavy machine guns, and a Japanese soldier lying on the ground as a mine was drowned in smoke.

"Boom" is another Japanese daredevils holding an explosive bag died in the explosion, the heavy machine gun bullet fired by the stalker shot through his body and then exploded the explosive bag, the earthy yellow military uniforms in the open field are too conspicuous, even if they take off their military uniforms, but they are still wearing earthy yellow military pants, the stalker's machine gun shooters can always easily find their figures, and then shoot them with heavy machine gun bullets.

"Retreat, retreat." All the daredevils sent out were killed, but none of the explosives and mortar shells they took out worked to any extent, and the Japanese captain who commanded the battle had to give the order to retreat and use his flesh against these iron guys who were not afraid of bullets, and his head was not stupid enough to that extent. The Japanese began to retreat from their positions in an orderly manner, but the approaching Stalker squad could not let them go so easily, and under the suppression of the Sherman tank's frontal fire, the Stalkers took advantage of their speed and cut directly into the flanks of the Japanese position.

The Thai troops who were bypassed by Joey's armored division were dumbfounded, the other side suddenly came with so many tanks and armored vehicles, not to mention that their firepower could not be opposed, and now even the powerful Japanese army began to retreat, and the battlefield that originally dominated had been reversed, in order to hold on to their lives, the best way was to withdraw from the battle or lay down their arms and surrender. The Jewish troops, who had already crept around their flanks, seized the opportunity to make a sudden move, and the Jewish infantry, who had been holding back their fire, found an opportunity to take revenge, and told you to fight us again with more people, now it's your turn.

A rout was inevitable, and by the time Joey's Stalker squad and Sherman Tank broke through the Japanese lines, the battle was already doomed to the rout. The 30,000 Thai troops abandoned their weapons and fled on the battlefield, and the Japanese troops who had already abandoned them had been surrounded by the tank clusters of the armored division, but the strong fire strikes expected by the Japanese army never appeared, and the enemy's tank clusters only surrounded them and did not carry out the final blow on them.

"Ignore them, our task now is to deal with these damned Thai troops with all our might, don't you think these Thais are good coolies? We still have so many mines waiting to be mined in Myanmar, and with these laborers, it is estimated that Morun will wake up laughing in his dreams. Standing on a captured bean tank, Joey ordered all the light stalkers to help the Jewish forces encircle and suppress the scattered Thai army.

30,000 Thai troops and more than 1,000 Japanese troops besieged 5,000 Jewish troops, which was supposed to be a sure battle, but the appearance of Joey and the armored division changed the tide of the war. More than 8,000 Thai troops died on the battlefield, about 6,000 escaped, and the remaining 15,000 Thai troops surrendered.
