Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

Chapter 348: Destroying the Japanese Reinforcements Halfway

On the vast plains of the Datong Basin,

Chu Yunfei led the tank regiment and infantry regiment of the 388th Brigade, advancing forward like a steel torrent.

"Full speed ahead!"

Chu Yunfei's voice spread throughout the convoy through the radio waves.

The soldiers of the tank regiment felt unprecedented freedom and speed, and the roar of the tanks was deafening.

"Look at this speed, we are practically flying!"

"Yeah, this is much faster than our previous march on foot!"

The veterans silently felt the change, with complex emotions revealed in their eyes.

They had experienced arduous marches, and every step was a test of their physical strength and will.

But now, they were sitting on a speeding truck, feeling the speed of the wind, which was a novelty for them.

Chu Yunfei sat in the front seat of the jeep.

He knew that such a marching speed and efficiency was something they had never dared to imagine before.

His heart was filled with pride and excitement. His dream and his troops were demonstrating their power in a whole new way.

"Brigade Commander Chu, we have marched more than 30 miles. At this speed, we will soon reach our designated location." The adjutant's voice interrupted Chu Yunfei's thoughts.

Chu Yunfei nodded, "Okay, keep up this pace. We can't give the enemy any chance to breathe."

The convoy continued to speed through the basin, raising dust, as if a yellow dragon was dancing on the earth.

at the same time

On the broad road from Datong to Yanmen Pass, soldiers from the 20th Guard Brigade were marching hurriedly, in stark contrast to the mechanized march of the 388th Brigade.

Only a few soldiers were lucky enough to ride in trucks, while most had to rely on their own feet, which greatly reduced their marching speed.

"Warriors of the Empire, speed up! We must reach Yanmen Pass as soon as possible!"

The regiment commander rode on his horse, waving his whip, trying to motivate the soldiers to speed up.

His face was full of anxiety, because he knew that the defenders of Yanmen Pass were facing unprecedented pressure, and the heavy artillery of the independent column was enough to shake any line of defense.

The soldiers were breathing heavily, sweat dripping down their foreheads, but they still tried to speed up their pace.

On a small hill 2000 meters away from the marching troops, scouts from the 388th Brigade were observing all this in secret.

They used binoculars to carefully record the enemy's every move.

"Captain, a large number of enemy troops have been spotted ahead, at least several thousand. They should be the support force of the 20th Guard Brigade departing from Datong." A young scout reported in a low voice.

The captain nodded. "Yes, this should be the enemy's support force. We must notify the headquarters immediately."

After saying that, the captain quickly took out the radio and contacted Chu Yunfei in the rear.

"Command, this is the reconnaissance team. We have found enemy reinforcements ahead, only 5 kilometers away from our army. Requesting instructions."

Chu Yunfei's voice came from the radio intercom, "Command received, the reconnaissance team continues to monitor the enemy's movements, stay hidden, and be ready to provide intelligence at any time."

"Yes, Chief." The captain answered briefly, then turned to his team members and said, "Continue to monitor and don't miss any details."

The scouts continued to lurk on the hilltop, their eyes fixed on the Japanese below.

.......

the other side.

Chu Yunfei's voice sounded on the radio.

"All units of the 388th Brigade, immediately enter combat readiness!"

"Understood, Brigade Commander!" The commanders of various units responded quickly.

After receiving the order, the commander of the tank regiment immediately conveyed it to each crew via radio.

"Attention, all teams, we have spotted a Japanese reinforcement force 5 kilometers ahead. Attack immediately and destroy them!"

"Roger, understood!"

Responses from various crews came one after another, and every tank driver gripped the joystick tightly, ready for the upcoming battle.

The 200 tanks were like awakened steel beasts. The drivers stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the speed of the tanks increased instantly. The tracks spun rapidly on the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.

"Keep in formation and move forward at full speed!" the tank commander continued to command.

The tank regiment quickly rushed towards the Japanese reinforcements 5 kilometers away.

Each tank is a mobile fortress, its turret slowly turning, its muzzle pointing forward, ready to fire at any time.

Behind the tank regiment, the soldiers of the infantry regiment also quickly prepared for battle.

.....

20 minutes later, the tank regiment of the 388th Brigade approached the Japanese support forces.

The roar of 200 tanks echoed across the plains, but the Japanese soldiers were still immersed in the fatigue of the march and were unaware of the impending disaster.

"Tanks! There are enemy tanks ahead!" A Japanese soldier walking in front suddenly screamed, his eyes wide open and his face full of fear.

The Japanese soldiers in the rear heard the warning and looked forward. Suddenly, rows of huge black shadows appeared in their sight. They were the tanks of the 388th Brigade, rushing towards them.

"Warriors of the Empire, prepare to fight, and fight them!"

As the tank troops got closer and closer to them, all the Japanese soldiers could see the situation clearly.

Originally they thought there were only dozens of tanks, but the reality made them feel despair. Looking around, there were at least hundreds of tanks, like moving steel fortresses, exuding the breath of death.

The Japanese commander knew that they had no way to retreat, so he drew out his command knife, held it high, and commanded the Japanese to launch a suicidal attack on the tanks.

"Fire!"

The tank commander's voice sounded on the radio. Following his order, the machine gunner on the tank operated the 12.7mm machine gun and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese soldiers.

Countless bullets fell on the charging Japanese soldiers like raindrops. The 12.7mm bullets blew them into pieces the moment they hit the Japanese soldiers. The ground was littered with the broken limbs of Japanese soldiers, scattered here and there, and the blood dyed the ground red.

"Keep shooting, don't stop!"

The tank machine gunners fired frantically, feeling extremely happy. The Japanese soldiers had nowhere to escape and were ruthlessly eliminated one after another.

In less than half an hour, more than 5000 Japanese soldiers were completely wiped out. The roads were littered with Japanese corpses and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

The tank regiment of the 388th Brigade was like the messenger of death on the battlefield, reaping the lives of the enemy.
