Chapter 300: Crushing (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Boom!" The engines of the tanks roared, and one by one, the tanks slowly drove into the Danweng River. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info In order to ensure safety, these tanks are very slow. After all, although probed. The section of the river where the armored forces launched the attack, the water depth was shallow. But no one can guarantee that there are no potholes in the river.

If you are not careful, once the tank falls into it, it will stop and be scrapped. At the same time, it may become a target for the anti-tank weapons that are piled up with the Japanese-Thai forces.

In the former enemy headquarters of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, not far from the Dangweng River, Sun Changwu and Yu Chengyin were paying attention to the attack of the armored forces. This was the first large-scale campaign they had launched since they became the commander and chief of staff of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. After all, both were in their early thirties. At such an age in China, being a battalion commander and deputy regiment commander is already sky-high. And now, they are the commanders and chiefs of staff who command more than 150,000 troops!

Fortunately, this time the war is progressing quite well, and everything is under their control. Although, the strength of the enemy is strong. However, under the powerful blow of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it has already suffered heavy losses. As long as the armored forces can successfully cross the Donong River and tear through the defense line of the Japanese-Thai army. Then, the more than 200,000 Japanese-Thai coalition troops standing in front of them are not to worry at all. If all goes well, they can even encircle and annihilate all these Japanese-Thai forces in one fell swoop.

"Old Sun, it seems that our plan is about to succeed. If the more than 200,000 Japanese and Thai coalition troops are all surrounded and annihilated, we will win half of this battle. A smile appeared on Yu Chengyin's face.

"Well, although the Japanese-Thai alliance is strong, it is too bad after all. The only ones who could really fight were the more than 30,000 Japanese troops. The remaining 200,000 Thai* troops are simply like local chickens and dogs, vulnerable to attack. Sun Changwu said disdainfully.

In Sun Changwu's view, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has become a world-class army. Even the Japanese army is not the opponent of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army at all, let alone those Thai * troops, which are like garbage at all.

"Order the infantry to get ready. When the armored forces tore through the defense line of the Japanese and Thai forces, they immediately threw in infantry to expand the results of the battle. Also, the 1st and 2nd regiments, especially be prepared! Sun Changwu ordered.

The 1st and 2nd regiments were assigned to the armored brigade. After tearing apart the defense line of the Japanese-Thai coalition forces, the armored brigade will not stop for long, but will directly attack to the east, until it reaches the foothills of 10 kilometers east of the Danongong River, cutting off the road to the east, and blocking more than 200,000 Japanese-Thai troops in this small basin. To accomplish this task, it is obviously not possible to rely on armored brigades alone. Although the armored brigade has more than two hundred tanks, hundreds of armored vehicles. However, when it comes to defense, it also needs to be supported by a considerable amount of infantry. The 1st and 2nd regiments were tasked with such a task. In order to allow the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment to keep up with the speed of the armored brigade, Sun Changwu even deliberately transferred a large number of trucks from other units to the two regiments, so that the soldiers of the two regiments could travel with the armored brigade in trucks. In this way, it should be possible to ensure that the armored brigade will be able to complete the task this time.

"Yes, Captain." A staff officer immediately went to deliver the order.

Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were crossing the Weng River. The armored brigade alone has 72 M4 medium tanks and 144 M3 light tanks. The six subordinate infantry divisions also have a tank battalion equipped with 72 M3 light tanks, a total of more than 600 tanks, which is definitely an extremely strong armored force. Even if it is divided into 7 assault directions, it can also form a torrent of steel and rush to the defense line of the Japanese-Thai alliance with an indomitable momentum.

The Thai * army on the line of defense, already scared stupid. Many people only feel their scalp tingling, and even the timid people have already peed their pants. If it weren't for the shock of the Warlords, they might have fled.

"Artillery, what about our artillery? Hurry up! "There is a Thai * officer ordered.

However, the distance is too close. Their artillery could not hit the tanks in the Dangong River.

"What about anti-tank guns? Pull up the anti-tank guns! Someone yelled.

Although most of their anti-tank guns were destroyed in the indiscriminate bombardment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, there were still some left. In the face of the attack of the armored units of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, those remaining anti-tank guns were pulled to the front line by the Thai * army for the first time.

"Aim at the tanks of the Chinese and destroy them for me!" A Thai* officer ordered.

A 37-mm anti-tank gun aimed at an M3 light tank.

"Boom!"

The anti-tank gun fired, and with the orange-red fire flashing in the muzzle, an armor-piercing shell was already fired at the M3 light tank.

In the blink of an eye, the armor-piercing projectile slammed into the frontal armor of the tank.

The armor, which is only a dozen millimeters thick, is like a piece of tofu, which can be easily torn apart by armor-piercing bullets. Fragments shot inside the tank, killing the crew members in an instant. Having lost control, the tank stopped in the river.

"Hooray, we took out the tanks of the Chinese." Seeing this scene, those Thai officers and soldiers cheered.

It's just that before their cheers fell, the revenge of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army began.

An M3 light tank opened fire, and a high-explosive shell hit this point of anti-tank fire directly. In the explosion, this fire point was destroyed and the artillery was killed.

Although, the anti-tank guns of the Thais on the position caused the loss of more than ten tanks to the armored units of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. However, compared to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which had more than 600 tanks, such a small loss was simply insignificant.

These anti-tank guns often have only one chance to fire. After that, it will be destroyed by the tanks of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.

Soon, these anti-tank guns of the Thai* army were destroyed. So that they could only watch the tanks, slowly crossing the Dangong River, getting closer and closer to them.

The Dangweng River, which is dozens of meters wide, cannot stop the footsteps of the armored troops of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army at all.

An M4 medium tank took the lead in rushing to the east bank of the Danongong River, and the tracks of the tank crushed the river beach, rushed up, and rushed directly to the defense line of the Japanese-Thai army. Several Thai soldiers, unable to dodge, were directly crushed into meat sauce by the tracks of the tank.

As more and more tanks rushed onto the river beach, they broke into the Japanese-Thai defenses. Their entire line of defense will also be crushed.
