The Chinese tank troops have been assaulting for a long time. Many tanks have no fuel and dare not continue to drive. They can only launch engines to target those tanks. Anyway, the armor-piercing bombs of the Japanese tanks cannot destroy their own tanks at all.

"Boom, boom, boom" As the tanks on China fired, many thin-skinned coffins in Japan were destroyed.

"Retreat, retreat, we are not opponents of those tanks, retreat," said the division commander of the Japanese Armored Division.

He saw that the tanks on his side had exchanged fire with the enemy for less than 20 minutes, and more than half of the casualties were killed or injured. Several cars of the enemy's tanks were blown up. Now they could not move when they stopped there, and some were out of fuel and dared not start, but that's the case, the division commander dared not attack anymore.

They can't destroy the tanks at all, and their own tanks will definitely be scrapped as long as they are hit by enemy tanks, so the division commander can only order his troops to retreat.

Soon, Masaichi Inada received a telegram from the division commander requesting a retreat. In fact, he could see the situation on the battlefield now, and knew that the tanks on his side were not the opponent of Chinese tanks, so he could only silently express his knowledge.

"Commander, our casualties are too much. The three divisions that just went up have now more than half of the casualties. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that the local recruits will mutiny, and their casualties will be too great." A staff officer walked to Masaichi Toba worriedly and said.

"I know, damn it, we have to fight now. Do you still want to retreat now? Withdraw now, Chinese bombers will definitely come to bomb. Can we outperform those aircraft? Can we outperform tanks on the ground? We must persist until night. Only then can we retreat safely to the back line of defense," Inada Masaichi shouted to the senior staff officer.

"Hi" the senior staff officer could only nod and dared not say anything else.

In fact, Masaichi Inada knew in his heart that China had dispatched many tanks and infantry had also come up. It was impossible to drive them off the position. At that time, China's troops would only increase and increase, and after the infantry completely stabilized the position, those tank troops would be dispatched again.

It was only in the afternoon that he was really sad. He didn't think about whether his troops could still guarantee morale when facing such an impact, and whether they could guarantee that they would continue to fight with Chinese troops in their positions. If the soldiers began to flee, no one could stop them by then.

"Boom, boom, boom" Chinese tank troops continued to attack the retreating tanks, and until they completely retreated beyond the range, Chinese troops did not pursue them.

At this time, the tanks with oil began to retreat and pushed them back to replenish fuel and ammunition. The ammunition and fuel continued to help the infantry troops defend their positions. The impact on Japan is not so fierce now, and many Japanese soldiers dare not come on.

The Chinese infantry troops began to defend briefly and then moved to attack again. Now the Chinese troops began to expand along the trenches to expand the gap.

"Dadadada"

"Cover me" A soldier took out the grenade, shouted loudly, and then threw it hard to a bend in front. Just now, there was a heavy Japanese machine gun over there, suppressing the infantry here and could not rush through, so he had to use a grenade to solve it.

"boom"

The squad leader next to him looked at it and rushed over with a rifle. Before the Japanese could react, they rushed there and started shooting with automatic rifles, killing all the enemies in front of them that threatened them.

"Change magazines" The squad leader saw that he had finished his bullets, and immediately shouted, and a soldier followed him and continued to suppress his firepower. Slowly, more and more soldiers rushed over and had already gained a foothold here.

"Boom, boom" The tank that had not yet returned to replenish the fuel continued to fire, firing at the location where there were heavy machine guns to relieve the pressure on the ground troops

Half an hour later, many tank troops had replenished ammunition and fuel and continued to drive forward. At this time, Xiang Feng had a short meeting with the regiment commanders and brigade commanders here. Before, Xiang Feng wanted to find a new place to cut off the connection between the Japanese defense line.

However, Xiang Feng is not going to fight like this now, because in this way, many local soldiers will surrender. Originally, Xiang Feng's troops were not enough, so now he can only let those tanks directly attack the Japanese trenches and continue to expand to the goal of annihilation of the Japanese.

"Terminal Commander, if we fight like this, our tank troops will not be able to exert their advantages." A regiment commander said to Xiang Feng.

"Why can't we play it out? A row of tanks are in front, followed by infantry and rushed along the trenches. Can those Japanese defend themselves? We are rushing on the side now, and the impact speed is faster. If we rush from the front now, our infantry is not enough. We can't let our tanks protect the infantry. Then everyone will be burned to death.

Just fight like this, so fast, the Japanese dare not retreat now, and our bombers are waiting for them to come out on their heads. This afternoon is the best time for us to kill the Japanese. At night, the Japanese must have run away. This line of defense has been beaten like this by us. There is no need to defend. What are they waiting for if they don’t run, just fight like this," Xiang Feng said to the regiment commanders.

"Okay, just fight like this, but now it's noon, and our soldiers are almost tired." A brigade commander looked at the sun in the sky, then looked at his watch, and found that it was almost 12 o'clock.

"We can't stop eating instant noodles. Someone will send it to you later. Now we will fight with me. There will be troops supporting us later. We will have to set this line of defense," Xiang Feng said to those people.

"Understand" the cadres nodded, Xiang Feng said a breakup, and the cadres got on their own tanks, drove forward in tanks, and then called their own tank troops to gather and prepare for the second wave of attacks.

The army commander Ding Wanzhong also received a telegram from Xiang Feng and immediately sent telegrams to several other divisions, ordering them to attack with the tanks and try to kill more Japanese before dark.

"Brother Bin, Brother Bin, good news, Xiang Feng has already broken through the Japanese positions. Considering that our infantry is insufficient and afraid that the infantry will not be able to defend the gap, Xiang Feng ordered the tank troops to assist the infantry, expand along the Japanese trenches to both sides, and eliminate the Japanese as much as possible." Mo She came over with a telegram and said to Hu Bin.

"That's good, there are indeed fewer infantry soldiers." Hu Bin nodded and said when he heard this.

"I really didn't hold it for 24 hours." After seeing the telegram, Li Dalong looked at his watch and found that it was only more than 3 hours since the attack started, and he broke through the Japanese defense line, which surprised Li Dalong.

"It's normal. I just said that if it's all Japanese troops, it would probably take a few days, or maybe 24 hours, but now it's less than 3 hours, and it's broken through." Hu Bin heard it, nodded with a smile and said.

"Why are the local recruits in Mandalay trained for 6 months? No matter how bad they are, they won't be there, right?" Li Dalong asked at Hu Bin.

"Have you ever fought against the puppet army?" Hu Bin asked with a smile as he looked at Li Dalong.

"We have fought, but we didn't really fight. Generally, when we see them, no one will fight to the death. Unless the puppet army is the hard-core puppet army, they will raise their guns when they fight us, and we will not shoot at them, just to fight the Japanese. But what does this have to do with the puppet army? I heard that those soldiers seem to be voluntarily," Li Dalong said to Hu Bin.

"It doesn't matter much, but their psychology is probably similar. They just want to make a living. I heard that Japan is very good for the families of the soldiers, so it's another matter that they can't be willing but have to fight to the death. They don't want to fight to the Japanese.

So, if local recruits come to defend, they will definitely break through 24 hours a day. Even if the tank troops are not dispatched, even if the infantry fights, they will still break through. If they are Japanese soldiers, it will be difficult to fight. They will fight desperately. When the tanks pass, they will probably crawl under the tank with their bags. Our tanks are not absolutely safe." Hu Bin explained to Li Dalong with a smile.

"Oh, too, but I heard that those local soldiers fought well in the United States, why?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and asked again.

"This is the intelligence of the Japanese. Think about it, can those local soldiers transferred to America run away besides fighting?" Hu Bin asked at Li Dalong.

"No, in America, the people over there look different from us, and they can be caught even if they run away," Li Dalong said with a shake of his head.

"Yes, so they can only fight, and they can only fight desperately. If they don't fight desperately, the Americans will kill them," Hu Bin said with a smile.

"Yes, there is no way to go, so I can only fight." Li Dalong heard it, nodded and said.

However, at this time at the command center in Mandalay, Yoshiro Iida was not happy because Malai sent a telegram and the position had been broken and they could not catch it back at all. This means that the Malai defense line that they had high hopes for was not blocked for a day to be continued.
