"Xiao Hu..." The gunner gave him a blank look, still in the same cold tone, but he suddenly thought of something, grabbed the driver's fur hat behind his butt and threw it over: "If you don't want to hit your nose and swollen face, put it on." ”

Chen Tangwan smiled and thanked him again, and continued to grope on the dashboard with both hands, when suddenly the motor made a sound, and finally let him touch the start button.

He quickly stepped on the clutch and began to ignite, and as the starter motor made a sizzling sound, the engine trembled violently and finally ignited.

Chen Tang didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly pulled the gear lever into gear, the gear lever on the tank car was not ordinary, and he had to use his strength to eat milk.

He then slowly released the clutch, pushed the lever and controlled the throttle valve to feed the oil, and the tank slowly moved forward with this pass.

The forward movement of the tank is controlled by a pair of joysticks, and the tracks on both sides of the tank are pushed forward at the same time, driving the tank forward at maximum horsepower. If steering is required, pull one of the levers back to slow down the track on one side and push the lever on the other side to accelerate, so that the steering effect is also achieved.

The harder you pull, the faster you turn the corner, and if you want to stop, reset the two levers, which is also the brake lever.

Driving also depends on talent, this Sherman is becoming more and more skilled in his hands, and the speed is getting faster and faster, whether it is steering or fast starting after braking, it is very smooth, and people outside the car are also amazed.

Xiao Hu, the gunner in the car, was stunned, he didn't expect this kid to be so good, but it also aroused his competitive spirit.

"Forward 40-degree turn to the left and make a sharp stop!"

Chen Tang immediately received the order, and the tank quickly turned sharply to the left, and then pulled back a part of the lever and pressed the brake, and the body of the car quickly shook and quickly stopped.

Xiao Hu immediately controlled the rotation of the turret, aiming the muzzle of the gun at a wooden house 500 meters away.

"500 meters to the southwest, one shot, put!"

Immediately after that, Xiao Hu stepped on the firing pedal, although there were no shells in the barrel, but this shot also meant that he had completed a launch.

Stepping on the clutch, shifting gears, and pushing the lever forward, Chen Tang's actions were completed in one go, because the throttle valve was not closed, and the engine still maintained power output, almost as soon as Xiao Hu finished shooting, he let the tank move slowly again, and accelerated to move towards the target.

In the process of driving at top speed, Chen Tang repeated his old trick again, but this time he turned to the right to simulate the scene of dodging enemy fire, and Xiao Hu was also adjusting the turret to aim the gun at the target again.

"One shot, let go!"

"Battalion commander, I didn't lie to you, this kid really has two brushes." Mo Youcai shouted loudly next to him, only to see that his elated appearance seemed to be more excited than the two people in the car.

Yuan Li was silent, just quietly looking at the two guys who were having fun in front of him, but the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile.

Looks like I've really picked up a treasure this time.

……

At noon the next day, the news of the fall of Nankan finally reached the headquarters of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army in northern Burma, and the commander, Shojiro Iida, was as nauseous as eating a fly and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

"Baga, it's this third division again, didn't they just experience a big battle with the 18th Division, why did they regain their combat effectiveness so quickly?"

"Don't you talk a lot? Can anyone tell me... How did they do it!? ”

Slapping heavily on the commander's desk, Shojiro Iida roared and let out a series of questions, but no one present could give him an answer.

Since the beginning of the first half of the year, western Yunnan, which was originally in a good situation, has been like being hit by a Gu, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and a large number of troops have been lost in a row, even the elite of the 18th Division has returned.

The fundamental reason for this is that the birth of a Chinese army seems to be irresistible like a hanging, how many imperial soldiers are there in Burma? More than 20,000 people have been reimbursed by this army.

Almost every once in a while, a piece of information arrives in Iida's office, and that's the information of the commander of that mysterious army.

But what is puzzling is that no matter how the special high class checks this person, except for some basic experience, it is impossible to dig up more useful information, as if this person appeared out of thin air, and all deeds were arranged first.

But he doesn't have the energy to worry about it now. Now the 56th Division is under siege, the 18th Division that rescued it has been beaten to the point that it is almost useless, and even the division commander has been captured, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to the Japanese Burma Front.

Originally, Iida had been quite happy recently, because the "Nanyang guerrillas" who had fled all the way from Kuala Lumpur to northern Siam had been driven to northern Burma, which was very close to the defense area of the 53rd Division.

The Southern Army Command was very concerned about this "guerrilla force," and Commander-in-Chief Toshitoshi Terauchi ordered that this rabble must be wiped out, so that the people of Southeast Asia would understand that the Japanese Empire would not be allowed to be provoked, and force them to completely lose confidence in resisting.

So this is also the reason why Iida did not hesitate to send a division to encircle the self-help army, but he didn't expect the Huaxia side to react so quickly.

The damn Huaxia people actually marched westward and conquered their two major defensive points on the Huaxia border in two consecutive days, and Iida asked his army that might not be able to do this.

This is not the end, according to intelligence, this Chinese army has now been divided into two routes, one is stationed in Nankan, and the other continues to follow the road south to Lashio, an important town in northern Burma, which is a strategic point and is also the logistics supply depot of the 53rd Division.

This alarmed many people, and the 53rd Division, which had gone to stab someone else's chrysanthemum, had to face the risk of being stolen at this moment.

The shadow of the famous tree, there may be no one in the current Japanese army in northern Burma who does not know the demeanor of this Chinese army, and the commander is still a terrible existence known as a butcher.

In desperation, Iida Shojiro could only hurriedly send a report to the 53rd Division, ordering them to abandon the attack and turn back to defend Lashio.

However, this order has just been issued, and the main force of the 53rd Division has already entered the central part of Shan State, which is already one or two hundred kilometers away from Lashio, and it is by no means possible to return in time if it wants to.

At present, Iida only has the 31st Division and the 33rd Division left to move, but these two divisions are the British who stayed on the defense side of the Burma-India border, and they dare not move easily.

And during this time, the Indian side was not very peaceful, according to the news from the scouts, the Chinese army in India and the British army were about to move, and it was very likely that they would launch a round of offensive in the near future......
