Zhou Youfu's troops rushed from the rear, and they could see the huge fire from the Japanese artillery position from a distance, and the more large-caliber the guys, the more clearly visible the fire when firing, and it can be seen that the army commander can also pinch his fingers to calculate the position of the enemy's artillery.

When the enemy realized that something was wrong, the Chinese tanks had already been deployed, in fact, a total of 70 had come, 10 broke down along the way, and 60 remained, but all the enemy's weapons were fired forward, like targets in front of them.

Half-tracked 75-mm mountain guns, which were the first to stop 2-3 km behind the artillery positions and launch attacks on enemy positions, could compensate for the lack of firepower of Stuart tanks and serve as assault guns. The stunned Japanese army was in disarray. Half-tracks carrying infantry, quickly occupying the road, crossing the morning light, and strafing enemy baggage convoys on the march, actually took on the task of infantry fighting vehicles. In the case of an unsuspecting enemy, these challenges can be completed beyond the capabilities of the equipment itself.

At the same time, the soldiers on the vehicle raised the long-handled scissors they had brought and clicked and cut the telephone lines on the trees on both sides of the road. For those communication lines on the poles that are too high, there are tanks responsible for breaking the poles.

Communication is a combat force other than firepower, so they will never let go of all the telephone lines that can be seen in front of them. The Japanese troops were in a state of panic and were making an urgent move, the communications of several wings were being carried out intensely, and all the units were in a hurry to exchange information and send and receive orders. But in the middle of this big scissor, Sakagaki's opportunity to piece together battlefield information through incoming and outgoing information disappeared. Breaking a telephone pole is far more significant than crushing a Japanese soldier with a track shoe.

Lin Xiuxuan carried out a second drone reconnaissance after sunrise, this reconnaissance brought more accurate intelligence to Chu Tingchang, and now he is very sure that the tank group is not rushing to a division headquarters, but the former enemy headquarters of the 15th Army, because the drone photographed that the ambush channel is maintained by military police, and there is a row of black cars parked near the woods near the headquarters.

It was a car, the same car used by Sakagaki and the dignitaries of the Burmese Army Observer Mission who came with him, and usually the Japanese divisions were rarely equipped with cars. However, the Japanese army had too many horses, and these cattle were not so easy to command, especially the shells of the Chinese army hit the area around the headquarters, adding to the confusion.

Zhou Youfu's 20 tanks were the first to rush to the enemy's headquarters. The tank commander, who was quite experienced, saw from afar that the enemy was in disarray, some were setting up horses, some were redeploying machine guns. He ordered to fire on Japanese livestock first, which was the old way of dealing with such troops. Let these beasts with their baggage and cannons get into trouble first, which will hinder the enemy's deployment.

The Japanese military horses were requisitioned from the civilian sector and recently shipped to Burma as part of the newly established military station units, and because Tojo compressed the time for the formation of divisions and regiments, the horses, like the personnel, did not have time to receive complete training. When the horses heard the cannons, they ran wildly. The baggage soldiers behind watched them rampage with artillery and supplies, and rushed the defense line that had just been organized into pieces.

The tanks quickly outflanked from both flanks and were not stopped by fire from light machine guns and above. Between them were headless and brainless animals, and the Japanese were caught between tanks and cattle, unable to organize a counterattack at all, and could only watch the tanks pass quickly. The tank's mission is to destroy the enemy's command, not to annihilate the infantry, so the tank doesn't pay much attention to these infantry.

Commanders stay on the turret, observing every change around them that might threaten them, and choosing the target to strike first. The enemy's confusion reduced their danger, and apart from one or two light machine guns, no greater threat was found in the vicinity of the Japanese army's corps-level headquarters. Most of the guns were scattered in the field or collapsed in roadside ditches. Since the establishment of the Meiji Restoration, there has not been a single military headquarters that has been broken through by enemy forces, and today it is an exception.

Zhou Youfu could almost guess the enemy's confusion, in fact, the Japanese army fought a field battle with his tank group, and none of them dealt with it well, each time he first dragged down the rhythm, and then fell into a separate battle situation, and those towed anti-tank weapons had almost no chance to be deployed, and they would be destroyed. His only big head is attacking the enemy to build a three-dimensional defense, or city, with a lot of solid support points, so he holds the initiative tightly and never allows the enemy to drag him into their slow pace.

Sakagaki originally wanted to pretend to be calm and stick to his command post, but seeing several tanks flying in and out not far away, his troops couldn't resist it. He only had about 40 tanks in this campaign, and all of them were consumed. Near the headquarters, there were only two armored vehicles armed with machine guns, which would clearly not be an opponent.

The shells of the Chinese army hit directly near the headquarters, only some 60-mm mortars and 75-mm mountain guns in trucks, but this old devil immediately realized that the enemy was not shooting blindly, they not only knew the location of the headquarters, but also had observation points nearby, because the landing point was getting closer and closer. He couldn't pretend anymore, so he hurriedly took someone out with him. The staff officers around him hurriedly packed up the map documents, but because Sakagaki had not allowed the staff officers to clean up in order to pretend to be calm, it was obviously too late now.

Tank groups are on a rampage, each looking for a priority target. Zhou Youfu's command car, parked 15 kilometers away, adjusted its tactics according to the instructions received from Chu Tingchang, whose latest request was to give priority to destroying the enemy's car. Lao Zhou didn't know, how did Chu Tingchang, who was far away in Leigu, know so much, obviously after a period of trough, the military seat seemed to be good at mana. Not only can it be accurate to the movement of the enemy's brigade, but it can also be calculated which car the old devil from Sakagaki was in.

Lin Xiuxuan's drone is more than half of the range, and it is still hovering over the battlefield, the situation is urgent, he doesn't plan to recover the drone, it's a big deal to stop in a deserted place and recover it himself.

He saw the crowd in the headquarters running towards their cars, and it was very easy to distinguish the bells and whistles of the Burmese Army from the brown-green uniforms of the Japanese army, which focused on actual combat. He saw a Japanese officer, without a steel helmet, getting into a car surrounded by a group of staff officers.

Zhou Youfu quickly conveyed the color of the priority attack car.

The first target they found was the car of the chief of staff of the Burmese Independence Army Navy, the Ford sedan was stopped by a group of military horses, the chief of staff tried to abandon the car and flee, but his white uniform was too conspicuous, he was swept by a machine gun, fell to the ground, and then arrived in the tank, too lazy to shoot, directly crushed him into meat sauce.

Myanmar's navy, which was commissioned just last month, has 20 river boats with a total tonnage of less than 300 tons. However, this uniform, which was carefully made with the advice of Yangon students and Japanese advisers, received rave reviews at the parade.

Two years ago, Chief of Staff Han Ding was a machine gunner on a British anti-smuggling boat, and now he is a rear admiral. This white uniform is far better than the army's bells and whistles and decorated with bird feathers. But today, military uniforms have become a major factor in attracting hatred. He became the most conspicuous of the chaotic crowd.

Sakagaki clenched his saber tightly and thought that he saw a tank speeding past the side, and then turned and rushed towards his convoy, but at the last moment, the tank decided to crash into the Rolls-Royce of the commander of the 1st Army of the Burmese Army in the rear, and his Nissan 70 sedan was obviously not in the eyes of the Chinese commander. He asked the driver to pull over to the side of the road. under

When he was driving, he saw that the Rolls-Royce, the commander of the First Army, was crushed by the tank, and the light Stuart tank was so fierce that it almost rolled over. The commander could be heard, a woman-like scream came from the car, Stuart turned a corner, ran over the sturdy sedan for the second time, there were no more screams, the tank held face, and finally crushed the car into a pile of scrap metal.

Sakagaki hurriedly ran into the ditch and escaped for the time being, he knew that he would definitely die if he took the car, so he had to find a way to go to the headquarters of the 2nd Division first.

At the same time, Huang Tianyang's troops had just broken through the enemy's lines, and his 203rd Division and the 204th Division, which was temporarily under his command, were advancing towards Mandalay Motorization, and he was given the task of capturing Mandalay before Sun Liren.

Chu Tingchang has been keeping an eye on the Japanese army and Sun Liren. One of his regiments, which had just been spotted, quietly approached Mandalay. It was possible to take the lead in the first place, so he decided to let the young army, who had little combat effectiveness, take the credit. In the morning, Japanese marines landed in Brisbane. It is probably only a matter of time before Australia is lost, and now we have to lay out for the next stage, and we must not allow Sun Liren to stir it up.

Tao Mingzhang's 201st Division was the last to cross the river, and for the time being could not compete with these troops for the head of Mandalay or the Japanese general, but in the morning, Xiong Xianghui sent a telegram to Chu Tingchang, in view of the fact that the collapse of the Japanese army in the whole of Burma was already a certainty, and suggested that Tao Mingzhang should be allowed to attack the port of Bago south. This was also conducive to closing the Japanese army's sea retreat. Chu Tingchang felt that this suggestion was quite meaningful, and in the long run, Tao Mingzhang must be given some credit. He approved the proposal and let Tao Mingzhang go to the enemy's empty south. The next step is to attack Bangkok nearby.

Zhang Lingfu stood outside the headquarters and watched in amazement as more than a dozen tanks drove by not far away. He already knew that this was Chu Tingchang's troops, and he had also figured out how to be polite with Chu Tingchang's division commanders, thanking them for thousands of miles away. But it didn't seem like anyone wanted to come and talk to him. The tanks sped past in front of them, chasing the defeated Japanese. Now, the entire battlefield has become a pot of porridge, and the Japanese army has probably suffered the greatest rout since the founding of the army. According to intelligence, nearly 780,000 Japanese troops and more than twice as many Burmese troops were gathered nearby. It's a pity that such a great victory was once captured by Chu Tingchang, I don't know how he did it. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, in the past, he just felt that the 5th Army's combat exploits mainly came from American guns and tanks, how could he have American tanks, but he still couldn't play at speed, how did Chu Tingchang's troops drill through? In the officer training class, he also learned the essentials of tanks, which must be covered by infantry, otherwise they are extremely easy to destroy. But seeing that Pavilionman Chu's dispatch was completely reversed, where did his tank have infantry to follow?
