The rapid escape of the Japanese increased the difficulty of Sherman's shooting. The company commander decided to stop the shelling, but to speed up and get closer to the target. The loader drills out of the turret, stands behind the vehicle, and uses a 12.7mm machine gun to strafe the enemy carrier that falls behind from a distance. At a distance of 1 km, a spilled bullet still ensured to penetrate the enemy's weak 5 mm thick armor on the sides of the transport vehicle. In fact, at a relatively close distance, this machine gun could even penetrate the side and rear armor of Japanese light tanks.

In fact, these mechanized infantry are the treasures of the third brigade, and without these vehicles, the Japanese army will no longer have the seed troops to practice mechanized warfare.

Zhao Xiaoli's tanks destroyed many armored vehicles, but they were gradually left behind by the Japanese army. On the transport route of the front, the commander of the transport regiment of the 201st Division, Huang Tianyang, was leading his automobile unit, preparing to intercept the enemy troops.

Commander Huang's convoy saw from a distance that the Japanese tanks were fleeing south a few kilometers away, probably about to break through the intersection. No one told him about the mess, and no one expected him to stop the enemy, he only happened to appear here and found himself on the battlefield. If the convoy stops, the enemy will pass through the intersection ahead, inflicting no losses on himself. However, Captain Huang is a man with a clear brain and likes to act unexpectedly.

He'd been listening to his communications, and he realized that there were pursuers behind the enemy, and it was best to intercept them at this moment. He gave the order to speed up and pass the intersection ahead of the Japanese troops. He knew that the road on which the Japanese army was driving was undulating, and the firing range was limited, and it was difficult to hit a moving truck even if he saw it. He's going to race with enemy tanks.

At a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour, the convoy quickly rushed to the intersection, and the first car of the regiment commander stopped at the intersection. At one time, about 60 trucks gathered at the intersection, forming layers of obstacles.

The transport regiment also didn't care about the supplies on the car, and the regiment commander led the automobile soldiers to retreat and flee to nearby villages, waiting for an opportunity to stop the attack. As soon as they walked on the front foot, the Japanese tanks arrived.

Huang Tianyang is an overseas Chinese in Malaya, and after his family property was confiscated by the Japanese, his family fled to Calcutta, and then the eldest son of the Huang family was determined to join the army to kill the enemy, and designated to the 5th Army.

Since 1937, the Huang family has continued to donate money and materials, and has considerable prestige among the Nanyang refugees. Therefore, Chongqing hopes that Chu Tingchang will arrange a decent and non-dangerous position for Huang Gongzi. Since Nanyang mechanics were waiting for more opportunities, and Huang Tianyang also attended the American Military Academy, Chu Tingchang gave him the position of colonel and regiment commander to lead the 201st Division Transport Regiment to engage in transportation.

He does not have the tendon that ordinary Chinese have in their minds, in order to kill the enemy, completely at any cost, of course, he does not have any concept of military law, their family donated more than 1,000 cars to the country, so he no longer believes that the loss of dozens of cars in this area will be court-martialed.

Tsushima finally got rid of the enemy tank, and when he saw that he was close to his position, he unexpectedly crossed the last slope and found that the chaotic trucks in front of him were blocking the way, which simply blocked him. The tank troops rushed down the hill without saying anything, trying to break through a passage.

But the 15-ton tank, together with the inertia of going downhill, no longer has extra power after crashing into one truck and continues to push other trucks. After all, this tank can only output a pitiful 150 horsepower at low revs.

Once the speed is reduced, this tank does not have the power to crush everything. To make matters worse, the reluctant push caused the truck loaded with weapon parts and a high center of gravity to roll over, suddenly becoming a complete roadblock.

The Japanese tankmen went berserk and began to shoot at some of the blocking vehicles, which caused a large fire. The tank decided to bypass this pile of burning barricades. So they left their co-captain Tsushima behind.

This intersection gave the Japanese army a fatal obstacle. At a high price (vehicles + supplies), Commander Huang dragged the enemy for about 3 minutes. How meritorious this matter is, it will have to wait for the fair judgment of Chu Tingchang afterwards.

Commander Huang, who was hiding in the village, intercepted the instructions given by his superiors to the tank troops, pointing out the identifying characteristics of the enemy's command vehicle. This was not originally an order to the auto soldiers, but he felt that the time had come for revenge, and his uncle had advanced to the Japanese gendarmerie in Singapore a year and never returned.

With a platoon of infantry (soldiers returning to the front from the field hospital with transport regimental vehicles), he sneaked up on the huge smoke and the confusion of the enemy. There were only two bazookas in the army, and none of the soldiers were going to use them.

The Japanese transport trucks that arrived in a hurry were trapped in the ravines left behind by the incoming tanks after they left. This vehicle is also empty, using diesel-powered power that is stronger than the German SDKZ251 armored car on paper, but it is inferior to the former in terms of obstacle crossing and road speed. At this moment, there was a mess, and I wanted to let the soldiers in the car get down and push.

Commander Huang's infantry platoon quietly approached 50 meters away, and found that the smoke was too great to see the target clearly, so it took advantage of the undulating terrain to get closer to more than ten meters, so close that you could hear the Japanese scolding the street.

It is also not easy to distinguish from the smoke that the command vehicle with the radio is also not easy. But Tsushima stood in the car and yelled, which attracted the attention of Commander Huang. Tsushima Yoshimitsu is one of the few high-ranking officers in this unit who has received a southern combat uniform, and the big white pointed collar of the military uniform shirt is particularly conspicuous, especially when he is still holding a walkie-talkie and shouting loudly, basically revealing his identity. In fact, his voice was already more effective than the tattered radio station, and the Japanese commanders around the smoke could directly hear his commands.

Chinese soldiers are looking at instructions on how to connect the bazooka's wires and batteries. Commander Huang couldn't wait, in his eyes, this Japanese officer was the enemy who let the wolf dog bite his uncle to death. He touched it alone, and from 25 meters away, threw a *. He knew that it would be difficult to succeed, but his uncle would be blessed by the spirit of heaven.

Tsushima calls all the people on the radio and does not mess around. With a thud, * fell at his feet. For the open passenger compartment transport cart that was popular in World War II, * is always a real threat, and of course, it takes luck to throw it into the car from 25 meters away.

The explosion threw Tsushima Nakasa into the air along with the radio station, which never worked. And then it fell heavily. By the time the Japanese infantry reacted, the Chinese infantry had already thrown a dozen * and fired two shots*. Then Ann then withdrew.

This raid added to the confusion of the enemy. The Sherman tanks, which were hurrying in the rear, finally arrived. The Japanese infantry, completely out of command, were forced to flee before the half-track was hit. Mechanized warfare was completely distorted at this point, and the Japanese tanks abandoned the infantry and fled, leaving the rest of the vehicles with poor cross-country ability to be slaughtered.

Sherman approached, firing at enemy armored vehicles still trying to escape, including Type 95 light tanks, half-tracks, and wheeled signal detection vehicles that had fallen behind. The 30-ton tank easily pushed through the burning barricades in front of it and fired at targets that did not run far.

Chu Tingchang waited for two good news at the command headquarters, the first was that the transport regiment intercepted the enemy, so that the enemy did not slip away smoothly, and was beaten badly, believing that in a short time, the Japanese would not dare to play blitzkrieg again.

Secondly, the Japanese railways continued to slow down and showed no signs of restoring their previous capacity. The British intelligence services could not figure out what serious problems were going on, which the Japanese railroad soldiers, who had been extremely efficient, could not face.

At this moment, the commander of the 5th Special Railway Division, Koji Takahashi, is looking for the cause under tremendous pressure. He was not afraid of the enemy using * to destroy the railway, which could be easily repaired, he was afraid that the entire dispatch system would be infiltrated by the enemy, and this threat would force the entire transport to slow down.

Just a few hours earlier, a second near-miss had happened. It was the train returning from the south that almost hit the troop train going north, but fortunately, the night light signal was used, and the drivers on both sides saw it from a distance and braked at the same time to avoid the danger.

The investigation showed that the signals sent by each control segment were correct, but the release signals received were indeed wrong. It seems that the enemy used the most despicable means to sabotage the railway, but where the problem arose is not yet determined. Apparently the enemy briefly connected to the communications, and then quickly withdrew.

Numerous searches were carried out by troop carriers and cavalry, but to no avail. The best way is to equip each fork with an armored train with a searchlight or a dual-purpose armored vehicle that can travel on the tracks, but these equipment are in mainland China or Manchuria, and this cannot be done in a short time, especially considering that the Thai railway uses the imperial gauge, which will inevitably come with the difficulty of modification.

Of course, after being scolded several times by Lieutenant General Nishiojo, Hashimoto finally had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution to the enemy's conspiracy once and for all. He suggested using radio stations to send encrypted messages and discontinuing cable communications.

In principle, encrypted messages can also be sent using cables, but they may be cut off by the enemy at a certain point, and there is no need to decipher them, just a simple delay in sending them, which can still cause damage.

Although there is a risk of cracking the code and getting to the enemy to know the specific number of transport vehicles using radio communications, it is difficult to completely cut off the communication and send an erroneous signal, which can play a multi-insurance role when the same message is transmitted on several channels at the same time, and Hashimoto does not believe that there is such a thing as full-band blocking in the world.

Although there are many problems, after all, capacity can be restored quickly. In order for the enemy to invade the radio station, it needs a radio station of greater power, and it is not possible to monitor and interfere with several channels at the same time, let alone the ability of the guerrillas, and the reconnaissance units of the Yugoslav organs have always been concerned about the opponent's radio station, and have not found that they have decent communication capabilities, let alone the ability to quickly crack codes.

In Hashimoto's vision, the daily communication code was delivered to each section by the last train of the day, ensuring that the code words were changed every day. In this way, even if the enemy can decipher the code and grasp some secrets after a few days, he will not be able to break into the communication and sabotage it immediately, and he feels that this plan is seamless. He couldn't imagine any possibility of cracking this way.
