Chapter two hundred and seventieth fierce battle under the city

The battle situation suddenly reversed. As Gan Liang was worried, was it because the Chinese expeditionary forces saw through their own plans or were their commander Song Yuhang just a guy with a false reputation but no tactical vision? Yamashita Fengwen couldn't figure it out for a while.

As the head of the Myanmar Front's left-behind unit, Shinichi Tanaka has sent several telegrams, demanding that the 1st Mixed Regiment, which had just arrived in Yangon, be sent to Mandalay, and to join the 55th Division and the 24th and 26th Brigades to Myitkyina to reinforce the 6th Division, repel the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and ensure Myanmar.

Yamashita Tomoto still has some understanding of Tanaka Shinichi. He should have served as the chief of staff of the Front Army. However, due to his own interference, he appointed the more obedient and considerate Ahnmura Takeraki to this position. Therefore, on some strategic direction issues, Tanaka Shinichi, a local resident with deep background, always sings with foreign resident Yamashita Tomoto from time to time. This is also the main reason why Yamashita Tomoto left him behind. Yamashita Tomoto was not interested in disobedient people.

At present, he is leading the main force to prepare to gather in Kolkata. Myanmar's strategy and tactical deployment have long been formulated. Now Tanaka Shinichi jumped out and sang against him again, which really made Yamashita Bubushi very troubled. In the combat plan formulated by Yamashita Bubushi, the Sixth Division is a very important mobile abandoned son. The purpose of abandoning son is to exchange local interests for a balance of sufficient interests.

If it were the conditions of the people not being promoted or corrected, the loss of a division was no longer news for the Imperial Army, but it would be different if someone reported that he deliberately sacrificed and abandoned the Sixth Division. As a veteran division of one of the permanent divisions, the Sixth Division was established on May 12, 1888. It was known alongside the Second Division (Sendai) and was known as the two most powerful and combative brigades in the Japanese Army. Its predecessor was Kumamoto Town Station set up in 1873. During the Southwest War, this unit was surrounded by the Satsuma tribe troops led by Takamori Saigo in Kumamoto Castle, and withstood the tide of Saigo's attack with strong will.

The 6th Division has a wide connection in the base camp and the General Staff Headquarters. He was transferred from the Kwantung Army to exchange conditions for the exchange of conditions. The destruction of the 6th Division alone was enough to prevent him from turning over in the army forever.

Yamashita Tomoto, who was scared out of cold sweat, suddenly realized Shinichi Tanaka's trick! No matter whether he wins or loses, he will be pushed down to the opposite of the official of the entire army's old standing division. The faction of these people is almost the same as the root force of the entire Japanese army. As a firmly royalist general, Yamashita Tomoto naturally knows the terribleness of this force.

In Myitkyna, the 6th Division commanded by Masato Kanda is facing the biggest crisis since its establishment. According to common sense, after a night of bloody battle, the two sides will slowly withdraw from the battle after tomorrow and take a short rest and replenish. However, after tomorrow, due to the no longer being disturbed by the night, the accuracy of direct firepower of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's tanks has been greatly improved. Several machine guns on the wheeled armored vehicle of the Greyhound following the cover were shouting like beans, losing the cover of the night. The Japanese suicide squad was almost a luxury to approach the fire-breathing tank.

The Chinese Expeditionary Force's offensive became more and more fierce, and the Chinese and ** people seemed to be never tired, as if they had endless blood and eternal life. Under the cover of the approaching of tanks and artillery, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's infantry cluster followed and broke through the second trench of the Japanese army. In the chaotic shooting, the powerful firepower of the Chinese soldiers' individual weapons made the counterattacking Japanese army suffocate. At a very close distance, the soldiers of China and Japan were exchanging lives. The Japanese soldiers knew that

The second trenches were actually their last barrier. Once they were broken through, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which had an absolute advantage in the firepower and number of people, had only one dead end to fight in street battles. Under the leadership of the officers, the Japanese army took off their shirts and shouted wildly from alleys, houses, intersections, and even underground. Under the fierce firepower of Chinese soldiers, Japanese soldiers rushed to the ground one after another, and the Chinese soldiers were also abandoned in their bravery.

As the breakthrough continued to expand, before the position was stabilized, the engineers following behind the infantry began to set up passages in the rain of bullets, but soon the engineers discovered a very serious problem. The second trench of the Japanese army seemed to be too wide? Even the specially made boat bridge was about five meters short, so the Chinese engineers had to look for available materials nearby.

Tanks, armored vehicles, and even field artillery could not pass. But the battle had been going on fiercely for a long time. The Chinese Expeditionary Force's infantry would fight as if they left these powerful support weapons. They used cluster grenades, blasting tubes, and ** bags. They staged a battle of houses, alleys and streets with the Japanese army in densely located residential areas.

Kanda Masato and a group of staff officers stood with bitter faces and pointed

The Chinese expeditionary force was more tenacious than they expected. The beasts acted rapidly. The Chinese infantry had four infantry clusters in the besieged city, as if they were striving to advance desperately at all costs.

The Japanese army had turned all the buildings in Myitkyina into fortifications. Chinese soldiers used the method of blasting the ground. The smaller ones were blown up and the larger ones exploded and several sides swarmed in. In the city of Myitkyina where gunpowder filled the smoke, there were screaming and fighting, gunshots, explosions, and crowds of people everywhere in battle. Every second they died in pain.

This is a battle of revenge and shame. Chinese soldiers burst out with unprecedented amazing combat power. They only have one target. Kill every Japanese soldier in the city! No one is left.

Song Yuhang couldn't enjoy the situation of the battles on each front. The speed of the troops' attack was undoubtedly rapid. However, the casualties in the troops were also astonishing. Every house, every fortification, and every street in the city required the blood and life of Chinese soldiers. As the most advantageous support weapon, the Chinese Expeditionary Force armored troops were still staying at the edge of the second trench waiting for the engineers to build bridges.

At the breakthrough in the east of the city, a major stretched out a blood-faced lieutenant to the trench. Several nurses rushed over to check and bandage the lieutenant. The lieutenant looked at a overturned gray dog ​​in the trench with regret.

The major glared at the lieutenant with great force and said, "Hu Minghua, you dare to give me a try. I am the first to shoot you! Before the bridge is opened, no one can try to drive through the trench."

Hu Minghua looked at the direction of fierce fighting in the city and the wounded men who were lifted down from the team and said anxiously: "Battleman Zhang, Mr. Zhang! The infantry brothers died in front of him. Without us supporting them, the casualties would be too great. Just ask me to try it. There is a breakpoint in the south, and I will definitely be able to pass?"

Captain Zhang looked at the direction of fierce fighting in the city, hesitated for a little while and said to Hu Minghua: "You are so injured, and you are still showing off? I'll come on my own!"

Hu Minghua was anxious and pushed away the nurse who bandaged him and shouted: "I have gone through the car three times. Who is more experienced than me?"

Captain Zhang was so angry that he was amused and laughed. He kicked Hu Minghua in the butt and said, "Did you turn your car into a glory? Drive carefully. These dogs (Greyhounds) are all my own sons. I can't bother you!"

The Chinese Expeditionary Force was attacking Myitkyina fiercely, and the Japanese army gathered heavily on the periphery of Kolkata. The British Army had already caught fire with the Japanese army for the second time. The 8th Australian Infantry Brigade arranged in Makaya was broken through the entire line by the 2nd Division in just four hours.

After the war, Mountbatten personally accommodated the remnants of the Australian Army. What shocked him was that the 8th Australian Infantry Brigade, which had nearly 7000 people before the war, only accommodated less than 70c of people. It was truly a real ten!

As soon as Yamashita Fengwen made a battle formation, he arranged the brave and victorious formation. He assigned the 2nd Division, the 15th Division, and the 33rd Division, each with a chariot regiment belonging to the Second Chariot Division, and advanced in parallel with the shape of a font, sweeping across the British strongholds and positions outside Kolkata with thunder.

The Japanese army had the power of thunder sweeping holes in Kolkata, while the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Myitkyina was directly attacking Huanglong. Just when the Chinese Expeditionary Force was fully encircling Myitkyina, the bad weather in the weather forecast finally came.

The heavy rain in Tuo brought unexpected and huge troubles to the Chinese Expeditionary Force's attack. First, it interrupted the air transport supply, and the wounded were unable to take the plane to transport it in time. Due to the heavy rain, many mountain torrents on the Longling line, the road was washed away, and the supply of ammunition for the Chinese Expeditionary Force suddenly came to a standstill.

The huge power of American weapons and equipment is also accompanied by huge consumption. The theory of firepower winning of mechanized troops is actually a matter of logistics.

On May 3, the torrential rain showed signs of slight diminishing. Song Yuhang stood in the tent and looked at the map and was worried. The same heavy rainstorm before 2 saved their lives in Tonggu. Today, the heavy rain seemed to have added a lot of trouble to the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

The artillery fire of the Chinese Expeditionary Force changed from fierce to focused bombardment, which is undoubtedly good news for Masato Kanda. Since the battle, about 50% of the Imperial Army officers and soldiers died under the artillery fire of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. The Chinese Expeditionary Force, which lost artillery support and was unable to use fire-breathing tanks, was a little tired after several days of attack.
