Chapter 91 The Battle of the Oil Field (8)

The Japanese army's efforts in Ren'anqiang Oilfield were not only in vain, but also suffered heavy casualties and casualties of its 14th Tank Regiment and the 215th Infantry Regiment.

In order to facilitate transportation and save time and break through quickly, the engineering regiment could only simply push these Japanese corpses and tank wrecks to the side of the road, which made Japanese corpses and tanks everywhere along the road.

This scene was in the eyes of the reporters who had been following the British army:

"Oh my God, it turns out that the Japanese are so vulnerable!"

"Are the Chinese too powerful or the Japanese too weak?"

"I'm not sure, what I can be sure of is that the British army is too weak!"

...

Indeed, nearly 10,000 British troops were besieged by these Japanese troops in Ren'anqiang and could not move. However, China sent a team of more than 1,000 people to defeat the Japanese army and successfully break through at a very small price.

Originally, this battle was nothing. There were many cases of fighting against the weak in the world. And if we carefully analyze it, it was still caught off guard by the Japanese army when the equipment was significantly better than the Japanese army. It was reasonable to achieve such results.

But the problem is that the reporters do not understand these things. Many of them know nothing about military affairs. They simply know that the Japanese army defeated the British army, while the Chinese defeated the Japanese army with just one regiment, and this regiment was an engineering regiment... It would be great if the main force of the Chinese team came up?!

With this comparison, the British army's originally tall and mighty image immediately collapsed in the hearts of the reporters, and the image of the Chinese team became taller.

More importantly, these reporters are from all over the world, including Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom... They originally believed in the combat effectiveness of the British army and hoped to follow the British army to grab some news, but unexpectedly, they fled with Britain all the way. It doesn't matter if they escaped, and they couldn't even escape clearly and were surrounded by the Japanese army!

This time, the Engineer Corps led them to break through, which was a real life-saving service for them. Soon the Engineer Corps' record spread all over the world and caused strong response from the international community. The image of the British army and even the entire British were hit to a certain extent in this battle.

Of course, this is all a story.

The Chinese-British Allied Forces convoy in front of him successfully passed through the Ren'anqiang Oilfield under the protection of the Engineer Corps.

After crossing the Japanese defense line, something ridiculous happened:

The tank driving in front met more than twenty Japanese cars transporting supplies to the oil field. The Japanese army led was still impatiently shouting at the tank blocking in front of them: "Hey, let's get out of here and let's pass first!"

He obviously thought that these tanks were from the Japanese army. Although they were American tanks, they should have been taken from the British, so he was not prepared at all. But then again, even if he was prepared... the car encountered a tank on the road, could it run away?!

The soldiers of the Engineering Corps would not be polite to them. They adjusted their guns slightly and then blew up the Japanese car into the sky with a "boom". Then they chased the Japanese baggage soldiers who were fleeing everywhere like tigers, killing and injuring dozens of Japanese soldiers and seizing seven cars loaded with supplies.

The reason why only seven vehicles were seized was because the soldiers didn't need ammunition when they saw that the car was filled with ammunition and pushed it directly to the roadside to destroy it. After all, the Japanese army's bullets and artillery engineer regiments were not needed.

I was reluctant to throw away the food when I saw it was food, especially a whole truck of medicine was seized... This was a very shortage of items for the Chinese team, and it was particularly difficult to collect it from the Japanese army.

This is not to say how good the Japanese medicine is, but it is very difficult to get things from the Japanese army, which can be said to be an honor.

This is not a big deal for those Japanese soldiers to be confused. You should know that the 33rd Division of the Japanese army rushed straight into the British army. There was no such situation where the enemy broke through the defense line and was hit back by the enemy's breakthrough line. In addition, the communication was not very good... Communication in this era mainly relies on radio stations, and if the radio station is not turned on, there will be nothing to receive. So the driving convoy hit the Chinese-British Allied Forces that broke through.

After driving south for half an hour, the convoy drove east under the guidance of Zhang Wangsheng. At this time, because everyone knew that the convoy was not truly out of danger, they were all very quiet. Even the British army, who had always been in a negative attitude, were very assigned to work together and took the initiative to take the initiative to guard and guide traffic along the way.

This is not surprising. Some British troops and Scott did not cooperate before because they did not think that they could break through and be destined to be captives of the Japanese. On this premise, they adopted a negative attitude because they did not want to anger the Japanese.

But now, even those reporters who don’t understand military know that if nothing unexpected happens, they have already successfully broken through.

Who would be willing to be a Japanese prisoner if you can return to your country, relatives and comrades with dignity?!

So naturally, he took the initiative to cooperate with the Chinese people to undertake some tasks.

This made the march very smooth. Although this unit had more than 800 cars, tanks, armored vehicles, etc., and the lineup on the highway was invisible at a glance, and was marching without lights in the dark, it was still moving forward without any danger.

In fact, part of this is that the Japanese 33rd Division attacked too smoothly and too fast... Because the attack was too smooth and too fast, the 33rd Division had no extra troops to defend the important areas in the rear. You should know that they fought here all the way through Yangon, hundreds or thousands of kilometers. If all the important areas along the way were stationed, the entire 33rd Division would probably not be enough.

On the contrary, if the Japanese army had troops stationed on a bridge or a relatively dangerous road, they just needed to blow it up, which would slow down the speed of the large convoy to a considerable extent.

If it is said that blowing up bridges or roads can block the Chinese and British Allied Forces, it will not be possible.

Because the British army also had their own engineers and facilities, they could build pontoon bridges or build roads at any time.

But I'm afraid this is a big deal, because it is very likely that the Chinese and British Allied Forces will be caught up by the Japanese troops who have caught up behind them.

But none of this happened. When it was dawn, the Engineer Regiment led the convoy to the address location agreed with General Slim...Purling.
