The reason why Li Da’s capable first battalion and Yang Liqing’s sixth battalion attacked Wancheng.

It is mainly to exercise the attack power of the Sixth Battalion.

When attacking Wanding, Li Lei told Yang Liqing that when attacking Wanding this time, his Sixth Battalion was the main force.

The main task of Li Dazhi's first battalion is cooperation.

This is because the Sixth Battalion's comprehensive offensive ability is still a bit poor.

In the previous few battles, the sixth battalion had the slowest attack speed.

The problem is not Yang Liqing's command, but because the Sixth Battalion's troops have more new recruits and insufficient combat experience.

Li Lei’s idea was to take advantage of the lack of Japanese troops here and deliberately hone the Sixth Battalion.

As the battle was fought too much, the combat power gradually increased.

Yang Liqing is a wise man, of course he understands what Li Lei means.

So I'm very motivated.

In order to make a smooth attack, Yang Liqing borrowed all the tanks of the first battalion from Li Dashi, which made Li Dashi very weak.

Brother, my first battalion now has forty two tanks, and you borrowed them all at once, so your sixth battalion, will have 60 tanks in total...

If you drive over sixty vehicles directly, the Japanese army's corps will almost die.

Yang Liqing didn't care about this. In several battles, he found that there were still some problems with his sixth battalion and Bu Tan's coordinated combat. As long as this shortcoming is made up, his sixth battalion's combat effectiveness will be similar to that of other battalions.

Taking this opportunity, Yang Liqing should train his troops to cooperate with the team.

The location of Wancheng is very important, and it is located on the middle line of the Yunnan-Burma Highway. But this is actually a small place.

The houses are basically made of wooden structures.

Although the Japanese army set up defense lines on the periphery, the defense lines were not solid because they were in a hurry.

They are all simple trenches dug.

Yang Liqing asked the troops to investigate, and there were two defense lines south of Wancheng.

The Japanese army had about two thousand troops on these two lines of defense.

The remaining troops were all arranged in Wanding City.

Although Yang Liqing's troops now have sixty tanks, he did not launch an attack on the Japanese army from the front.

Instead, he went around to the side of Wancheng, where the Japanese army's defense was very weak.

So when Yang Liqing's Sixth Battalion rushed to Wancheng City with sixty tanks, the Japanese army's corps leader Mai Shiraishi was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

The black tank was filled with black smoke and crushed over, unstoppable.

Yang Liqing was holding a telescope outside Wanding, watching and directing.

Behind each tank is a team of soldiers, using the tanks as cover, and then pushing forward.

At the same time, clear the Japanese troops on both sides of the street.

When encountering the Japanese machine gun position in front, the tanks directly shot them in one shot.

Very sour.

The Japanese defenders on the south side of Wancheng did not dare to retreat and advance to Wancheng City to support them.

In front of the Japanese position, Li Dafa's first battalion was still eyeing him.

The seven thousand men's troops made the Japanese frightened.

If it's just that there are more troops, it's better.

The problem is that behind Li Da’s capable troops, there are several rows of cannons.

The dark muzzle was facing the Japanese position.

The Japanese army was so shocked that they didn't dare to show their heads.

Li Dashi sat on a huge cannon shell and ate canned food.

It tastes delicious.

"Sweet potato, is there any movement in the Japanese in front?" Li Dazhi asked while eating.

Sweet potato was holding a telescope in his hand and staring at the Japanese position with his butt. Hearing Li Dazhi calling him, he turned his head and exposed two rows of big black teeth: "No, this Japanese devil is not showing his head at all now and can't see anything. Why don't we try a few shots?"

Li Dashi said: "No, our first battalion is just to scare the Japanese army now. Captain Yang's sixth battalion is the protagonist. If we shoot artillery here, he should be unhappy."

The Japanese 15th Division and the 49th Division were attacked by the opponent's troops, which surprised Okamura Yanji.

What's going on?

The 49th Division reported that their troops stationed along the Nujiang River were violently bombarded by opponents' planes. At the same time, the opponents' troops on the east bank of the Nujiang River had forced their way across the Nujiang River.

A fierce attack is currently being launched on the 49th Division's defense.

The opponent's troops have many troops, at least three troops.

Judging from the military uniforms, it should be the Yunnan Army and the Sichuan Army.

Okamura Yanji was very surprised by this news.

How is this possible?

How come so many troops from the other side suddenly appeared on the east bank of Nujiang?

Three armies?

How did these three armies gather in a short period of time?

Such an accident shocked Okamura Yasuji.

The 15th Army of Wancheng is also suffering from fierce attacks from the opponent.

According to the report of the head of the 15th Division, their troops stationed in Wancheng had a corps.

Now he is surrounded by the other party.

According to preliminary judgment, there were about 10,000 troops surrounding Wancheng.

And it is equipped with a large number of tanks.

Okamura Yanji's guess was correct, and this mysterious army finally appeared.

If the opponent did not suddenly have three additional troops, Okamura Yanji would be very happy.

It is entirely possible for his two divisions to annihilate this mysterious unit.

However, the other party actually quietly emerged from three more troops. Is this a joke?

Now the 15th Division and the 49th Division have been attacked from front and back, so they must find a way out immediately.

Otherwise, his two divisions would suffer heavy losses.

"What troops are the opponent's troops?" Okamura Yasuji asked his chief of staff Aoki.

Aoki frowned and said, "According to the report of the 49th Division, it seems to be the Yunnan Army and the Sichuan Army."

Okamura Yanji was stunned and thought for a moment.

These two troops...

Okamura Yasuji has a deep understanding of these two troops.

If you fight, you will be destined to fight. If you have a firm will, you will dare to rush forward even if you have a sword and a sea of ​​fire.

But one thing is that their equipment is very poor.

Many troops cannot even handle a gun.

Even soldiers with guns, their rifles are very old. Many soldiers are suitable for guns, even bird guns.

Such troops fight will in battle.

This made Okamura Yasuji admire this very much.

However, victory cannot be achieved by will alone.

If these two troops were these, it would be perfect for the 49th Division to block the opponent's attack.

The 18th Division and the 55th Division of Ren'anqiang have launched an attack on Mandalay.

The main attack direction of these two divisions of the Japanese army was Mandalay. Although there were two divisions of troops, the expeditionary forces in Mandalay were well equipped and both light weapons and heavy weapons were better than the Japanese army, so the Japanese army's attack was not very smooth.

Moreover, Tangji's troops and Mandalay's troops are mutually supportive. When the Japanese attacked Mandalay, they needed to draw troops to guard against Tangji's sneak attack, so for a while, the battle in Mandalay was a bit stalemate.

This surprised Okamura Yanji a little.

He had tried his best to consider the combat effectiveness of the opponent's troops in Mandalay, but he did not expect that it was still insufficient.

The combat effectiveness of the opponent's troops is completely different from that of the domestic troops.

After two days of fighting, the troops of their two divisions did not even break through the first line of defense.

And there were great casualties.
