Chapter 998: Unstoppable!!

Tanks were considered by the British General Staff to be unsuitable for combat in the jungle, so the British army had no tanks in the Malay Peninsula. There was not even a single British tank in the entire Malay Peninsula!

This is an extremely favorable opportunity for the Chinese team.

Twelve Chinese "electric" light tanks appeared on the battlefield.

Sun Lianzhong showed his keenest judgment on the battlefield. He did not, or even resolutely refused to use heavy tanks. Instead, he used light tanks with stronger maneuverability and more suitable for jungle combat. This allowed the Chinese ** team to avoid fighting.

had a huge advantage from the beginning.

The British are beginning to taste the bitter pill.

They don't even have a tank on the Malay Peninsula. There is no way to resist the Chinese attack, and they are helpless against the Chinese attack under the cover of tanks.

The British retreated very quickly.

In Kekluda, the British army gave up after only symbolic resistance. This allowed the Chinese ** Corps to occupy this traffic artery without encountering much resistance. Then, the Chinese ** Corps' good

The day has arrived.

A large amount of supplies and tanks were continuously transported to the Malay Peninsula. This also made General Sun Lianzhong, who was commanding the front line, let out a long sigh of relief:

These damn munitions department guys finally delivered everything they needed!

Then, the naval aviation also joined the attack on the Malay Peninsula even more frantically.

There is better news. The Siamese government clearly saw that the British could not stop the Chinese, and they had to think carefully about their future.

After simple but intense consultations, the Siamese government agreed to allow the Chinese to use their military bases to launch a larger attack on the British...

The air raid siren sounded, and the British and Indian soldiers of the Third Indian Army scattered in the position.

They saw groups of "Falcon" fighter jets and "Thunder" bombers appearing in the cloudless sky. After the Chinese planes circled the position for a week, they began to straf and drop bombs.

The British anti-aircraft guns on the position fired fiercely at the Chinese aircraft, and the clear sky was filled with clouds of gray smoke. There is no longer peace here...

"Military seat, Lieutenant Colonel Deng Huaxia, commander of the 7th Light Armored Division's Chariot Battalion, is here to report."

"How is the situation at sea?" Sun Lianzhong said straight to the point: "Is there any loss?"

"In the event of a warship attack, there was no loss of troop personnel or equipment."

"Lieutenant Colonel, is your chariot battalion complete?" Sun Lianzhong asked.

"Yes, our battalion has a total of three tank companies with 81 tanks, 60 of which are "Dian" type 6 and 21 of which are "Rain" type 3. One transport company has a total of 10 trucks and oil tankers.

The total strength is 1,290 people. The people have gathered at the dock and the equipment is being unloaded."

Sun Lianzhong's eyes flashed with excitement. He said loudly to Gao Sun Liren: "Commander Sun, I have equipped you with 12 tanks in your division, and now there is another tank battalion. We have a large-scale

Offensive capital."

The big attack has begun!

Target—Stuyard Trek on the Malay Peninsula!

Second Lieutenant Ma Shipei's tank company was the vanguard of the attack on Stuyenne Trek. He opened the hatch of the tank, extended his upper body from the turret of the "Electric" Type 6 tank, and tried his best to keep an eye on the battle ahead through the rolling torrent.

The rear of the car.

The dust in the sky made it difficult to see the road and the vehicles ahead. The road to Stuywater Creek was terrible...

The chariot bumped up and down on the rocks and pits, and the steel parts hurt Ma Shipei. The only advantage of this pain was that it kept the drowsy man awake. Since the offensive began, fighting during the day,

When maintaining the vehicle at night, the endless dust got into the air filter, piston rings, exhaust pipes, batteries and gearboxes. The dirt filled the turret guide rails, and the rotation of the turret was also very laborious. However, the order was given and could not be ignored.

Rejected:

Attack! Attack!

The armored troops drove through dry river beds and wadi valleys, and approached Stuytrek along commercial trails. Judging from all aspects of the situation, the British army would not give up Stuytrek easily.

The attack was launched at dawn. Ma Shipei's tanks and other tanks in the company formed a triangular echelon to facilitate the display of firepower. The tanks rumbled over the pebbles on the river bed and the numerous strange rocks on the terraces, approaching the town of Stuyan Trek.

.The leading one carried their battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Su Xingman. An "Electric" Type 6 tank had its tracks broken by a mine when it approached the barbed wire defense line. The other tanks were killed as soon as they came within artillery range.

When the enemy opened fire first, they all followed Sun Lianzhong's instructions. Regardless of whether there was a target or not, they first mentally shocked the enemy.

The British 2-pounder anti-tank gun began to fire back.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and bullets were flying everywhere. After a period of artillery battle, Ma Shipei's tank jumped across the open land, flattened the barbed wire and rushed towards the trench. He saw several British gunners screaming in the periscope.

They fled away from the anti-tank guns. The radio operator and machine gunner ruthlessly mopped them all down with machine guns.

The remaining tanks followed Ma Shipei's tank and rushed into the street. The machine gun emplacements built along the street fired at the Chinese tank like crazy, and the bullets hit the armor plates with clanking noises.

Ma Shipei's gunner Li Tao destroyed a machine gun nest with one shot. The driver drove towards another fire point, and everyone in the car heard several shrill screams.

Chinese chariots marched along the streets and houses in a mixture of British and Malayan styles.

Along the street were defeated British soldiers and trucks. Machine gun bullets killed the British one by one, and the trucks were hit one after another and caught fire. The Chinese soldiers were infected with a kind of fanaticism of killing and destroying things, as if they wanted to vent their anger on the offensive road.

.

Several Chinese tanks rushed through the town of Stuyers Creek and entered the trail to chase and wipe out the British deserters.

Sun Liren restrained them, and his target was limited to Sturtwick. The British troops surrendered one after another, most of them Indian troops, wearing thick turbans under the scorching sun!

Those who resisted most tenaciously were mostly Sikhs. Their marksmanship was extremely accurate and they killed some Chinese infantry soldiers with old-fashioned Winchester rifles.

With the support of tanks, the Chinese ** team easily occupied Stuytrek. However, they did not stop the attack, but quickly set their sights on the next target:

Rangani!

it's dark......

The engine sounds of British Curtiss and Spitfire aircraft sounded particularly clear in the dark night.

All the car lights went out at once, and the Chinese soldiers groped in the darkness again. The British plane dropped two illumination bombs, then dived and strafed, dropped a few small bombs, and flew back.

Deng Huaxia estimated that their base was in the south. Obviously, the British army still had a force that could not be ignored in the Malay Peninsula. He even doubted whether the British army would easily withdraw once they understood that the Chinese soldiers they faced only had one light armored division.

When Deng Huaxia's chariot battalion advanced, Sun Lianzhong was already planning his next move. He did not want to see the British army escape. He wanted to surround and eliminate the Langani defenders.

The important thing in war is not how much place is occupied, but the destruction of the enemy's technical equipment and soldiers. The tactical principle is very similar to the principle of naval warfare, which is to search for and destroy the enemy's fleet.

Sun Lianzhong ordered the naval aviation force to send out planes and risk landing at Langani Airport. According to the Air Force report, that airport has been abandoned. A group of commandos will lay mines on the three trails east and north of Langani to stop the British troops in Langani.

The retreat of the convoy.

Sun Lianzhong also ordered Lieutenant Colonel Su Xingman's tank battalion to send a tank to travel northward day and night to cut off Langani's road from the east. He wanted to encircle and annihilate the Langani defenders.

However, the British army has already deployed heavy troops in Langani, and they obviously decided to stick to it...

Before the attack was launched, Sun Lianzhong sent people to Langani with an ultimatum to persuade him to surrender. However, his attempt to surrender ran into a wall in front of the British. The officer was sent back blindfolded. The enemy had no intention of surrendering at all.

Sun Lianzhong was unwilling to give in and sent him again in the afternoon. The result was the same. The messenger brought back a letter with a scrawled handwriting:

We will never surrender.

This is the style of the British. They are not French or Siamese. The British are one of the best soldiers. It will not take long for Sun Lianzhong to see their resistance. Langani only

It can be solved by force without paying a price. It is simply impossible.

Sun Liren, who was on the front line, redeployed his troops to the south. The British army in the south neglected to take precautions. He chose a low gap in the city wall, adjusted the firing range of the cannon, and launched a surprise attack.

When artillery and 88mm anti-aircraft guns collapsed the city wall, the infantry of the machine gun battalion rushed into the gap. They were counterattacked by the British troops in Langani. At this moment, 10 "Electric" Type 6 tanks rushed in time.

arrive.

The breach was quickly opened, and both Deng Huaxia and Sun Liren rushed into the castle in chariots. The chariots ran rampant in the streets and fired machine guns at the panicked British soldiers.

Half an hour later, the town of Langani was cut into two. The British troops in the eastern half began to flee east and northeast along the city wall, just in time to encounter the mines and machine gun fire deployed by Sun Lianzhong the day before.

The fleeing enemies were defeated, most surrendered, and a small number disappeared into the jungle...

Most of the Langani garrison was concentrated in the west, because they expected that Chinese soldiers would attack from the west. When chaos broke out in the center of the town, the British army was shaken. From the commander to the soldiers, everyone wanted to grab the truck and escape.

....

Deng Huaxia's chariot lay across the center of the town, firing one shot after another, setting the British trucks on fire. The road was immediately blocked, and the British army had no way to escape. Sun Liren ordered the surrender, and one

The British general accepted the order to surrender like a gentleman.

Langani was captured by Sun Liren in just half a day!

From the moment they landed on the Malay Peninsula to now, the Chinese troops have been unstoppable! (To be continued.
