"Slow down, slower. Turn a little further to the left." A tank soldier slowly retreated in front, guiding an m3 light tank forward. This tank soldier was the captain of this tank.

Although the engineers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army built a pontoon bridge to allow tanks and armored vehicles to pass through. However, the pontoon bridge is a pontoon bridge, and its width is simply not comparable to a real highway. Therefore, tanks and armored vehicles must be careful when passing through the pontoon bridge. If you are not careful, you will fall into the river. At that time, not only will the tanks be scrapped, but the tank soldiers inside will also be dead.

It was so dark that if the tank fell, there was no way to rescue it. It would not be that easy for the tank soldiers to get out of the tank.

Although it is only more than one hundred meters from the west bank of the Wonbin River to Sand Bank No. 5. However, for a tank, it takes at least two minutes to pass through this hundred meters. Moreover, only one tank is about to get off the pontoon bridge, and the other tank can get on the bridge. This makes it possible to pass through only thirty or forty tanks within an hour.

It takes two hours for a tank battalion to cross the river. If it is mechanized infantry battalion, it takes more time.

"Lao Meng, when will the second floating bridge that can pass through tanks and armored vehicles be able to pass through?" Major General Hu Cuiming, the commander of the 1st Armored Brigade, asked anxiously.

"Old Hu, brothers have tried their best. You can do it all in one hour at most." Brigadier General Meng Guohua, the commander of the 1st Engineer Brigade, said with a tired look on his face.

In order to build these pontoon bridges and ensure the normal operation of these pontoon bridges, the 1st Engineer Brigade has been doing a roundabout way these days!

"Lao Hu, the pontoon bridge for tanks and armored vehicles needs special reinforcement. You don't want the tanks and armored vehicles to fall into the river, right?"

"Old Meng, you crow's mouth." Major General Hu Cuiming complained.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the fierce battle continued on the 5th Sand Bank. After Lieutenant General Nakamura Akito issued the most severe order directly, Colonel Soshiro Kaneoka and Colonel Aihara Fearless Assistant both issued strict orders to the troops below, requiring them to defeat the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army within two hours and end the battle.

"Crash! Kill all the Chinese people."

"The Great Japanese Empire is on-boarded, His Majesty the Emperor is on-boarded!"

Countless Japanese soldiers shouted slogans and rushed towards the positions of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army with rifles.

However, what was greeted was the dense firepower of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Countless light and heavy machine guns fired hard. Although the Japanese soldiers were fierce, they were still flesh and blood. Under such circumstances, they could not confront the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army at all. Many Japanese soldiers fell on the way to attack.

Although the Japanese army was only a few dozen meters away from the position of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, these dozens of meters seemed to have become a natural barrier, making these Japanese people unable to surpass one step.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

The flares kept rising up, illuminating the entire battlefield. In this case, the Japanese soldiers could not use the night as a cover to sneak attack the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, and could only fight against the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

Such battles are undoubtedly the favorites of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. They can use their powerful firepower to cause devastating blows to the enemy's living forces, so that they can win the battle with minimal losses.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Japanese soldiers who suffered heavy losses lay on the ground and shot against the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

With the advantage of marksmanship, the Japanese army's fighting style caused considerable losses to the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Unfortunately, such tactics could not change the situation at all.

"Bang!" A machine gunner from the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was shot dead by the Japanese army.

But the deputy shooter immediately took over his position, ensuring that the machine gun could continue to fire and suppress the Japanese army, causing the Japanese army to lie on the ground and unable to even raise their heads.

As time passed, the Japanese army was unable to open up the situation for a long time. The situation on the battlefield became increasingly unfavorable to the Japanese army.

The armored troops of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army were passing through the floating bridge bit by bit. When they completed their preparations, it was time for the Japanese army to completely lose. It can be said that at this time, the goddess of victory had already lifted her skirt to the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

"Aihara, what should I do now? Our troops cannot break through the defense line of the Chinese people!" Colonel Soshiro Kaneoka looked anxious.

Colonel Aihara Fearless Suspension also looked very ugly. After all, Lieutenant General Nakamura Akito had already issued an order. If they could not defeat the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, they would have to apologize.

"Kimoka-kun, we have done our best. All the troops have been dispatched, and countless soldiers were killed and seriously injured. The soil of the entire sandbank has been dyed red by the blood flowing out of the soldiers. However, even if this is the case, it is impossible to defeat the Chinese people. What else can we do?" Colonel Aihara Fearless Assistant was already a little desperate.

"Baga! Could it be that we really want to break up here?" Colonel Soshiro Kaneoka murmured.

Although death on the battlefield is a supreme glory for every Japanese soldier. However, this is not absolute. Not every Japanese himself wants to die.

The fierce battle continued, but as the casualties grew, the morale of the Japanese army was greatly affected. If they were still very strong before, then now, their morale has fallen to the bottom.

In the west of Sand No. 5, on an open space, tanks and armored vehicles passing through the pontoon bridge are parked here. The tank crew are undergoing maintenance of the tanks to ensure that these tanks and armored vehicles can be put into the battle in the best condition in the following battle.

Of course, another reason is to wait for other tanks.

At 4:30 a.m. on January 28, the 2nd Tank Battalion and the 4th Mechanized Infantry Battalion of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army finally arrived at the Shazhou.

Major General Hu Cuiming went to the front line in person to command the battle.

"All vehicles should pay attention to it. After turning on the headlights, use the passage reserved by the infantry brothers to enter the battlefield. I have only one requirement, which is to eliminate all Japanese people who appear on the sandbank. Whether it is killed with a machine gun, bombed with a tank soldier, or even crushed with a crawler. Do whatever you are happy to do, I don't care, I will only look at the final result."

After Major General Hu Cuiming's order was issued, more than 70 tanks and dozens of armored vehicles drove to the battlefield.
Chapter completed!
