As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall. Although the Japanese soldiers are very secretive and the Japanese officers try every means to protect the soldiers and block the news, some "rumors" are still spread among the people of Myanmar.

These rumors quickly spread to Myitkyina with the refugees who ran from north to south... Most of these refugees who fled were overseas Chinese. The overseas Chinese were different from the Burmese people. The people of Myanmar would be deceived by the Japanese army, but overseas Chinese had long known the true face of the Japanese army from the crimes committed by the Japanese army in China.

Of course, it is precisely because they are overseas Chinese that Burmese people generally do not believe what they say, and Burmese people will take it for granted... Overseas Chinese are also Chinese. The Chinese army has helped the British fight and become enemies with the Burmese. What the overseas Chinese must have said is biased to help the Chinese!

If it were in the past, Unata might have thought so, but when he heard these "rumors", he would naturally think of the words of the "living Buddha", so he even believed in and even admired the "living Buddha"'s wisdom eyes.

At this time, Zhang Chi naturally didn't know about this. In order to avoid the believers, he flipped out of the window and pressed his hat low and fled to the other street like a thief.

After a while, the soldiers followed one after another, with strange smiles on their faces.

"Company Commander!" said the extremely poor student jokingly: "I heard that the Burmese people regard you as a living Buddha. When will I treat you as a living Buddha?"

"You can be this living Buddha as long as you want?" The gangster continued, "You go and shave your head first!"

"The company commander didn't shaved his head, so why did he become a man?"

"The company commander is capable! Otherwise, how can you be the company commander!"

...

The soldiers kept talking and talking, and Xiao Zhejiang even put on his hands and looked like a master, which made the soldiers laugh.

"Have you made enough trouble?" Zhang Chi cursed angrily: "If you want to be energetic and joke, just run five kilometers for me!"

"Okay, company commander...we are envious!"

As he spoke, the soldiers didn't dare to speak anymore, but they were still smiling on their faces, and Zhang Chi wanted to slap them a few times.

At this moment, a few cannons suddenly came from the west, followed by gunfire, which made the soldiers immediately put away their jokes and looked in the direction where the gunfire sound came.

"The devil is here!" said the devil.

"Yeah!" Zhang Chi nodded. The Japanese seemed to be slower, and the engineers were all struggling for a day before they arrived.

However, what Zhang Chi didn't know was that the vanguard of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army had actually arrived in Myitkyina in a few hours, but they did not dare to take action.

The reason was that several Japanese plainclothes in Myitkyina had reported the situation in detail to the Japanese army headquarters through radio stations. So the Japanese army headquarters knew that a Chinese army had occupied Myitkyina before them, and even knew that the Chinese army had a large number of British tanks. The Japanese army headquarters quickly informed the Japanese 33rd Division who was interspersing in Myitkyina at full speed, so the vanguard of the 33rd Division did not rush to launch an attack when they arrived... They had to wait for the armored troops and artillery units to follow, otherwise they would be like killing themselves in the absence of anti-tank weapons.

"Is it the Chinese army again? Engineer Corps?" When Nobuo Ueda heard that his opponent had a large number of British tanks, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch.

The battle of Ren'anqiang Oilfield. The Chinese army almost wiped out several of his chariot squadrons. Originally, he thought the opponent he encountered was the main force of the 200th Division of the Chinese Division, but what he couldn't believe was... the information detected from plainclothes showed that the Chinese army was actually an engineering regiment.

"Impossible! How could I be defeated by the Engineer Corps?!" Nobuo Ueda couldn't believe it, and at the same time felt greatly insulted.

However, after he heard that the engineer regiment had suffered heavy casualties in Tangji and Lashio, he felt a little more balanced.

"So that's how it is!" Nobuo Ueda said to himself: "This should be a trick made by the Chinese, calling an excellent main force the corps of the Workers' Regiment confusing the Imperial Army. Even the 56th Division and the Airborne Regiment became their defeated generals, so it would not be a shame that the chariot corps would be defeated by theirs!"

But no matter how Nobuo Ueda makes excuses for his failure, he has to face a problem that makes him a headache: his chariot corps will face the Chinese troops again, and the Type 95 and Type 97 tanks in his hands can't even chew Sherman in the hands of the Chinese army.

After thinking about it, Nobuo Ueda felt that he had only one choice. That was to lure out the tanks of Chinese soldiers and let the artillery destroy them.

Nobuo Ueda's plan was soon approved by the division commander Sakurai Shizo, so the Japanese army outside Myitkyina City was ready for it. Only in the first wave of attacking, they prepared two chariot squadrons of the infantry brigade and an artillery corps. In the artillery corps, five 105mm cannons were urgently transferred to the artillery corps.

The Japanese army's plan was to fire a few artillery first to make the Chinese army mistakenly think that the Japanese artillery was insufficient, and then launch an attack on the Chinese army with the cooperation of the infantry.

Of course, this attack is just a bait, and its purpose is to lure out the tanks of the Chinese army and then use artillery to deal with it. Once the tank troops of the Chinese army are defeated, the Japanese army will penetrate directly into the heart of Myitkyina under the cover of the tanks.

It should be said that this is a good plan.

The Engineer Regiment does not have much experience in using tanks. In addition, he has taught the Japanese armored troops a lesson in the oilfield area before, so it is inevitable that he will be underestimated. Now if you see the Japanese rushing up with more than a dozen tanks, it would be more appropriate to say... the tanks will come up and fight another battle!

If this is true, it will be a bad thing. Not to mention that the dozens of artillery artillery of various calibers of the Japanese Artillery Corps were blown up indiscriminately, the five Type 92 cannons would cause heavy losses to the tank troops of the Engineer Corps... The Type 92 105mm cannon has the characteristics of long range, high accuracy and high power, and its range even reaches an abnormal 18 kilometers. This range is quite far even in modern artillery.

The Type 92 cannons are generally equipped with only elite divisions. The Japanese army that can be called elite divisions on the Myanmar battlefield only have the 18th Division and the 56th Division. Although the combat effectiveness of the 33rd Division is not weak, it is still not elite.

The reason why it is equipped with this kind of artillery is entirely because it is against the British army on the Western Front and may encounter the British medium tanks.
