Chapter 269 Blood Fire Myitkyina
Yu Hang returned to the sand table, and the huge sand table marked the numbers of four Japanese defenders in Myitkyina City. The 13th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army was stationed in the east of Myitkyina City. The commander of the corps was Colonel Yokobin Ikeda, the Japanese Infantry Regiment was stationed in the south of Myitkyina City. The commander of the corps was Colonel Keimoto Kuroki, the Japanese Infantry Regiment was stationed in the west of the city. The commander of the Japanese Infantry Regiment was Colonel Ko Min-ho, and the 6th Division had the largest organization and a large number of personnel. The Narita Infantry Detachment was stationed in the north of the city. The commander was Major General Detachment Commander Narita Eichiro.
The division headquarters of Kanda Masato, the Yokogawa Regiment of the 18th Division, and the cavalry, engineers and baggage regiments are used as the general reserve team.
Song Yuhang silently evaluated the situation at this moment. The Narita Infantry Detachment, which has the most powerful troops, is the least active in the offense tonight, and Yokobin Ikeda of the 13th Infantry Regiment, is the most rapid attack. Relatively speaking, the 13th Infantry Regiment also has the largest casualties.
Just now, Song Yuhang got a few good and bad news mixed together. The good news is that the commercial group built by Guanhe successfully manufactured a 762mm caliber assault rifle at the Kentlin Machinery Company, a subsidiary of the United States. It was successful in cooperating with the 762mm mid-power 39 bomb that was previously processed in Arkansas. All performances exceeded the indicator parameters of the US side. The weapon has not been named yet. Please ask Song Yuhang to name it. Guanhe also reminded Song Yuhang that the model of the mid-power munitions also takes some time to improve and develop. Moreover, small problems such as insufficient spring pressure of the magazine clip, and 30 round magazines can only press into the bullets in order to maintain the spring tension, etc., have to be solved. This weapon is still too early to be equipped on a large scale.
The bad news is that although this weapon has passed the detection standards of the US side, Marshall and many Defense Ministry officials have made it clear that since then the power, range and penetration of the weapon cannot meet the requirements of the US individual soldier when shooting at more than 400 meters. The size and weight are similar to the m11 carbine, and the performance is slightly higher. However, it is undoubtedly a waste to repeatedly install weapons for the same purpose. Therefore, the US military procurement department is only planning to purchase one for the newly formed Marine Corps: "Underwater Blasting Team"!
Song Yuhang was indeed a little depressed. He thought that assault rifles using intermediate-type gun bullets would definitely become the favorite of the times when they came out. They were manufactured in large quantities and sent to all anti-fascist armed forces. Now he was wrong, and he found that he was wrong, and he was quite outrageous.
The small-caliber weapon m166 that the US military only replaced after the start of the Vietnam War. The United States was the country in the world that had been calling for the use of powerful field rifles. The US infantry squad formed a perfect matching system covering range, rapid fire, and fire intensity. These weapons are being manufactured at a speed of thousands of branches a day and provided to all battlefields around the world. It is undoubtedly a dream to break this current system. Countries around the world generally consider the balance of interests in the process of selecting weapons in the process of military selection, and the performance of weapons is second. The order for this one is probably Marshall.
Song Yuhang, who came with the two samples, passed by, obviously someone changed the drawings he drew. At least in terms of appearance, Song Yuhang believed that this sample had nothing to do with the AK-47 in later generations. The piston-type valve re-shelled the shell and clicked and moved it unexpectedly. He believed that the appearance of this sample was closer to m166, and there were a lot of flashy designs on the receiver, which could feel the ruggedness of typical Americans. However, Song Yuhang had no intention of holding the designer responsible at this moment. He ordered Luo Jiaxiang to send the sample gun to the Chongqing sub-sector, saying that the American weapon designer would design it on his behalf and equip our special operations forces in the future, and asked the sub-sector to give the name.
What made Song Yuhang even more troubled was that the Allies provided earth-to-earth weather forecasts, which showed that large-scale rainfall will occur in Myitkyina area in the next few weeks. The significance of large-scale rainfall is the most intuitive thing for Song Yuhang that the daily air transport is forced to be cancelled, and the amount of land materials transported along the front line will be reduced, and the current fire attack and encroachment tactics will not be used.
Song Yuhang didn't know how much trouble and concerns the arrival of this damn Burmese rainy season would cause him!
Song Yuhang issued a general attack order to the divisions and brigades where the attack was participated, beyond everyone's expectations. Song Yuhang also knew that it was very inappropriate to launch a general attack on Myitkyina at this time. However, time did not wait for anyone. He wanted to use his limited time to strive for an absolute tactical advantage.
Faced with this sudden general attack order, the commanders of the troops in the First Mechanized Army and the Second Mechanized Army participated in the counterattack were extremely shocked. They were not prepared for the general attack. Simply extending the counterattack firepower in front of the formation was nothing compared to the general attack!
For this reason, Cui Zhijun found Song Yuhang. He wondered if he could ask Song Yuhang to postpone the general offensive for two to three days, so that the offensive troops had sufficient preparation time. The troops needed to be programmed. Firepower needed to be regulated. Air support needed to be arranged. Ammunition, materials, and medical care.
. Target operations, step-by-step coordination, etc. all require a lot of preparations
Song Yuhang looked at the sweaty head of Cui Zhijun sighed slightly and said, "We probably don't have that much time!" Then he forwarded the Allies' weather forecast to the land.
Cui Zhijun frowned and took the weather forecast. Cui Zhijun turned the weather forecast team into a group and held it in his palm. He looked at Song Yuhangdao: "No need to delay. The attack will start immediately! All tactical plans, firepower programming, troops dispatch, etc. will be fought while fighting!"
Song Yuhang nodded and instructed: "The most taboo thing about forcing the tough attack with sufficient preparations is that you should not act in one go. Then again, the third unit will collapse, and you must be prepared for a large number of wounded people. In short, you must completely annihilate the Sixth Division at all costs!"
Song Yuhang, a Burmese civilian, had no scruples at all. My race was not my life or death. In this Asian land, too much blood was shed.
Kada Masato read a strange smell from the counterattack of the Chinese expedition. This is the general attack of the Chinese! Kada Masato found himself a little panicked. After a moment, he barely calmed himself down. Kada Masato immediately issued a delegation to each unit to stop the attack immediately, and make every effort to stabilize the defense. He used strait tactics, assault squads and support points to carry out multiple elastic defenses.
In the small Myitkyina, the Chinese Expeditionary Force invested all five main lightweight divisions and the first heavy division at one time, totaling more than 87,000 people, while nearly 30,000 Japanese 6th Division relied on fortifications to fight with all their might. The dense artillery fire broke the sky and the earth, and the Myitkyina was trembling in the pace of the Chinese people's attack.
Under the guidance of the tank, the main attacking divisions fought fiercely with them in front of the second trench guarded by the Japanese army. Since the second trench was excavated by the slums on the edge of Myitkyina, there were many houses and buildings on the trench. The Japanese forts and castles were built in a tricky and weird way. In addition, the Japanese suicide squads frequently attacked, and the number of "Satan" fire-breathing tanks that were close to destroying the Japanese fortifications was blown up by the Japanese human bombs. Because there were a large number of constructions on the other side of the trench.
The buildings, the Japanese trenches almost hollowed out the foundations of the buildings. Once they were blasted, the residues of the building at the blasting entrance and the collapsed trenches either formed a blockage or a large-scale landslide cliff. The engineers in the four directions of Myitkyina did not achieve ideal results in the explosion of the trenches. The elusive Japanese army's combat artillery battles and the division commanders on the other front line did not dare to easily put them into the only mechanical boat bridge in their hands, and the battle situation was temporarily in a stalemate.
Five hundred meters away from Song Yuhang, who was watching the battle east of Myitkyina, a ball of flames rose dozens of meters high. Then a ball of flame burst and burned, and the nearby hundreds of square meters were filled with fire. More than a dozen Chinese soldiers covered in fire were struggling desperately. Several medical soldiers who rushed out to try to rescue their comrades fell on the way forward.
Song Yuhang knew that it was the consequence of a "Satan" full of fuel being attacked by a Japanese suicide squad. The Japanese army's intensive firepower suppressed the breakthrough of the Chinese infantry, and the engineers were unable to open the breakthrough for armored vehicles for a long time. The two sides fought fiercely on the second trench line.
With close support from artillery fire and tanks, Chinese soldiers carried temporary tied ladders to the other side of the trench. The Japanese army stood up and dropped bombs and fired! More than a dozen ladders were quickly erected, and Chinese soldiers holding submachine guns were climbing quickly.
Song Yuhang used the flash of the shell explosion to find that the ladder was actually quite large. Just halfway through, a group of Japanese soldiers holding grenades swarmed up. Although the gray dogs on the other side of the trench were desperately suppressing them with machine guns, a large number of grenades still fell down. Amid the dull explosions, the ladders broke or fell down, and the figures of several Chinese soldiers fell from it.
At this time, Song Yuhang put down his telescope, took a deep breath, turned around and said to Xu Tuan behind him: "Tell Zhang Wei, concentrate on fire and bombard me, I don't believe that the little Japanese is a cockroach, and he is still dead?"
The war was at the stalemate on the second trench, and Kanda Masato had passed the previous tense period. The fierce attack of the Chinese Expeditionary Force made Kanda Masato no longer have any hope. This instead made Kanda Masato put down his ideological burden and did not care about everything and went into battle lightly. Kanda Masato, who came back to his senses, issued a number of precise combat orders. He used the frequency of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's attack on all sides to intermittently adjust and increase the reinforcements to ensure that the reinforcements can always reach the most timely position they need them most.
While Kada Masato no longer had any hope, he had no worries. He was giving a try and faced the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which had absolute advantage in quantity and firepower, without strong foreign aid support, there would be only one outcome, and that would be annihilation.
Kanda Masato was actively dispatching troops to adjust his firepower, trying to break through the outer trenches and use the narrow and complex urban area of Myitkyina to carry out the final stubborn resistance.
