It has been a long time since Sun Liren and others' attack horn sounded.

From the start of the counterattack battle, he led his men all the way, and almost encountered little resistance, and fought from Jingdong to Taungzhi. If the command had not ordered the coordination and pace and could not make a rash progress, he would have led the 38th Division to directly cut off Mandalay's retreat and completely blocked the enemies inside.

This confidence comes from his understanding of the equipment and fighting will of his troops under his command, and it is also due to his arrogant attitude. After all, he is a top student from the first-class military school in the United States. He has been depressed for many years. Those with qualifications like him have long been the commander of the army commander, but he can only become a division commander, and he feels unhappy in his heart.

He made up his mind to make achievements and achievements in this war, and show his performance to the big guys from all sides. He is the leader of the tax police corps who are isolated everywhere, not just blows, he must have two brushes to calm the scene!

The 38th Division, trained by him as steel bars and iron bones, as if he was armed and fingered. Under the command, he would move forward bravely. No one was afraid of the enemy at the forefront. If there was such a person, he would have been cleaned up for him.

I encountered the good thing that the Japanese army retreated sharply again. I ran smoothly all the way without any sense of accomplishment!

For half a month, the entire division's troops were all lined up in front of Taungchi, staring at the two strategic points of Mintela and Ren'anqiang. In his mind, Mandalay in the north was destined to get it, and he didn't even wait for him to take action. Liao Yaoxiang, Dai Anlan and Xue Yue who came down from the north were all able to share the food. There were more wolves and fewer meat!

So are the enemy in Mandalay really weak? Actually, otherwise!

Here we first gathered two and a half Japanese military divisions, namely the 16th Division Morioka Izumi, the 48th Division Tobashi Yuii, and the 33rd Infantry Brigade of the Sakurai Temple Third Division, the 33rd Infantry Brigade.

Together, these troops had about 50,000 people. They were all elite in the Kanto Army and were equipped with complete American arms, especially the two divisions of the 14th Army, who had just arrived from the south. They had never fought any wars, were not very tired, had ammunition and other things, and were still very confident.

Then there was the 2nd Army commanded by Lieutenant General Parker. As the deployment force of the US military here, half of them were dragged behind and reinforcements went to the Impal battlefield. Now they are withdrawing in a mess.

The British's power was basically allocated, so there was nothing to say. Overall, the main force of Mandalay's frontal forces was 80,000, and 20,000 people were also a 100,000 army. If all the people from Impal could withdraw, it would be fine to raise 150,000.

It is conceivable that such a large group of people are crowded in a narrow battlefield around Mandalay, with a very high density, not to mention unprecedented.

The difficulty is also conceivable to deal with such a large number of enemies. You must know that this is not a plain road. It is a rare flat land in tropical mountains. When the troops are deployed, a division is the limit. Flexibility is more important than the quantity.

The one who intercepted the front of Taungchi was the 20,000 troops of the Japanese 48th Division. During these days, the Japanese were dissatisfied with various small actions, and they kept using squadron-level units to test from more than a dozen directions. On the one hand, they did not allow the Chinese to repair them safely. On the other hand, they also urgently needed to make the troops familiar with the battlefield as soon as possible, so as not to catch the battle off and become a mess.

Facts have proved that this approach is very effective, and it is exactly what Sun Liren needs most.

His 38th Division didn't fight much! He ran all the way, and basically rushed. There were very few battles. The troops were holding on to their strength and had no place to spread their experience. Now, the Japanese provided whetstone for free.

So Sun Liren split the troops without hesitation, using the company as the unit, the battalion as the command organization, and the regiment as the regional combat center, boldly let go and let them go out to launch a crazy jungle suppression battle with the Japanese army!

At the beginning, the number of casualties rose very quickly, reaching the level of 200 people a day. This caused a severe criticism from the above, but was pushed back by Sun Liren. After a week, the number dropped rapidly, but the results of the battle continued to increase. Now, although it cannot be said that one side fell, it has steadily gained the upper hand. The proportion of exchange between the enemy and us is only greater or less!

The 38th Division is also a motorized infantry division with more than 20,000 people! It includes a tank regiment and a light armored regiment's mobile power. The vehicle ratio of the rest of the troops is extremely high, which is luxurious and wealthy.

The most important thing is the advantages of weapons and equipment, which have been fully utilized. Soldiers have bulletproof inserts, multi-functional carousels, sufficient medicine and water, advanced camouflage uniforms, one or two times more bullet carrying capacity than the opponent, complete air support, mobile radios equipped with platoon level, and all-round intelligence support and coordination...

These are all good things they have never heard of or seen before. The entire shooting gun replacement is considered small.

Under the overwhelming advantage of various equipment, the Japanese army, who had been fighting hard alone, had their combat ideas and tactical strategies understood, and the remaining battles would be easier to fight. Compared with the Japanese Army, which was as rigid as a dogmatic Japanese army, the newly formed elite Central Army's old basic division began to play to the Chinese's expertise of being flexible and adaptable. After getting familiar with the terrain environment, it was out of control!

Up to now, basically most front-line infantry units have undergone more than one practical exercise, and only the mechanized troops are unable to be dismantled and separated to find fault. This makes the two regiment commanders feel very unhappy, but they don’t have to wait too long, because the time has finally come!

After receiving the telegram, Sun Liren immediately summoned the leaders of each regiment. There were six regiment leaders, all of which were his old foundation and subordinates. If Zhu Bin had not broken up the Central Army, he would probably have no chance to bring these old brothers back and continue to carry guns and fight together. This relationship once was particularly different.

When everyone was all here, his eyes were cold and cold when the military orders were serious. Seeing that no one was making noise, he spoke: "You are all old brothers, I won't say much about extra nonsense. This battle must be fought well! How far is it? I don't know. I have to see how determined you are! President Zhu once promised me that if the people of the 38th Division are enough to be a manly person, we will be upgraded to the army when we look back. As for whether we can stand alone and become a group army, army, or even the front army, I can't decide. It depends on everyone, rely on everyone, rely on our more than 20,000 cottage brothers to work together! Yang Du once said, 'If the Chinese country dies, unless all the Hunan people die'! Most of our group are Hunanese, Hunan people have species. They have bones, ambitions, and are not afraid of death! So, I will ask, are you okay?"

"Of course!"

No one admits his conscience. He is not only proud of this group, but also proud of his origin, and he cannot lose the dignity of tens of millions of family members. For this breath, he is willing to die!

The Hunanese people these days are so bones. Haven’t you seen that the earliest revolution and the most difficult places are Hunan? How many Hunan were there in the first Huangpu generals? Only Chu has talent, not a false statement.

Sun Liren's words were not agitated. He was himself a true thought in his heart. He said everything and did not need to hide it.

There was no coward who shrank, and he nodded: "Okay! I'll wait and see! Now, the Front Command issued an order, and our first goal is to defeat the Japanese army in front of us! You all remember that the Japanese devils are standing in front of us! It's our blood feud! As the Central Army, we started a war with them, but it turned out to be very indecent. This is a shame for being a soldier! Today, we have to pick up this face on the battlefield! My request is not to capture them! Listen to them clearly, it is to completely annihilate them, not to defeat, not to defeat, not to keep them, and to kill them all! Can it be done?!"

"able!"

"Bei Zhi is a thin-headed person and fails to completely kill the little Japanese. Come and see him!"

The atmosphere was ignited, and all kinds of bold statements filled the conference room with their chests.

Sun Liren waved his hand to stop the noise and shouted: "A word is certain! Next, I will deploy specific combat missions..."

Without the help of the Chief of Staff, he personally opened the three-dimensional projection map and distributed the combat strategies he had carefully prepared for many days. In just one hour, all of them were determined, and then the regiments were decomposed and dispatched, and the army of more than 20,000 people moved in a flash!

It was like an extremely sophisticated machine, or a peerless beast gathered in the jungle and waiting for a long time, being instilled with more than 20,000 elite soldiers who were infused with bloodthirsty aura by the leader, and there was no need for more mobilization. With a command, it suddenly rushed out from all directions like a tiger down the mountain!

Sun Liren is not the kind of reckless commander who is covered with his head and beats around. The military theories he learned in the United States and the latest strategies and tactics he has recently rebuilt at the National Defense University, and the set of things he summarized are actually very meaningful to cross the ages.

The ground troops had just begun to act, and the first one to be dispatched was the Air Force! He personally coordinated the front army and called more than 100 attack aircraft from the rear, divided them into several waves, and bombed the Japanese strongholds and hidden points that were determined in the attacking of each other in recent days, the key points and fortresses on the attack route, as well as the possible large-scale artillery positions, baggage distribution centers, etc. that he had discovered by himself!

It is not a bomb that lightly lights water with ordinary bombs, but a variety of bombs with the greatest power and the most brutal ones to wash the ground! Wherever there are caves and caves, cloud explosion bombs are opened to the road; all areas covered with dense forests, including the difficulties of miasma, are cleaned up with napalm bombs or even white phosphorus incendiary bombs; all suspicious military strongholds are ground-boring bombs that specifically destroy fortifications, and dexterous bombs are knocked out accurately!

In short, he mobilized the air support force that Zhu Bin had promised before! He occupied half of the air force distributed in front of him before the other divisions!

After the large-scale bombing in the air was completed, the ground fire was followed! Not only was he directly under the artillery regiment, but he also applied for the heavy artillery regiments to which he belonged to the army, as well as the strategic rocket launcher troops in the rear. Together, there were more than 300 pieces of various calibers and more than 1,000 gun barrels, and they washed the positions about 30 kilometers wide and 20 kilometers deep in front of him like crazy!

Taking advantage of the Japanese army's dizziness, a tank regiment and a mechanized infantry regiment under his command dispersed to attack, and rushed into the Japanese position in the battalion, as sharp as a knife, and drove out several routes to the rear, and then expanded horizontally. The entire 48th Division and the troops behind were completely cut off!

This move is not just fierce. It is simply bold and too risky! If the sudden blow ahead does not work and does not effectively kill the enemy, then the one waiting for those two regiments will be a fierce siege of at least 40,000 to 50,000 Japanese troops! The outcome will be very bad!

So Sun Liren is bold but never reckless, right here. He makes full use of the external forces that can be mobilized, and then fully develops the key points of the high speed of the army, and catches the Japanese army off guard!

The 48th Division, which was standing in front, never expected that the 38th Army, which had been in constant conflict with them, would suddenly evolve from a bobcat to a Tyrannosaurus Rex! Just the overwhelming bombardment, and the endless shelling of the following, would disperse the troops that planned to continue to engage in small-scale conflicts, and more than half of them were killed or injured!

The most serious thing is that the organization of these small units was completely broken up, the contact with the wing and brigade was completely interrupted, the command system was basically done, and the losses of grassroots officers in the previous battles, so when the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side suddenly rushed out wildly, they could not organize a blocking force of more than a squadron, let alone call for artillery fire and air support in the rear.

It can be imagined that the equipment quality has no advantage. The Japanese army, which is four or five times worse than the opponent's strength, has almost no heavy weapons such as artillery fire. Under light equipment, they suddenly encounter crazy and close armored and mechanized troops, how miserable it will be!

Almost most of the Japanese soldiers were crushed into meat pies by rolling iron streams, or torn to pieces by ruthless direct fire, smashed by heavy machine guns, and a few were suppressed and could not raise their heads. They then knocked them to the ground to the coordinated armed GEEP cars behind them and groups of assault rifles. If the mechanized troops were not in a hurry to rush on the road, they could have cleaned up the same thing.

Before the remaining Japanese troops could recover, the infantry squads that rushed into the battlefield like a tide came. This time, there were only one company-level combat units, but what about the Japanese army? They were lucky enough to be able to gather a squad. In addition, these company units had at least a few or even a dozen armed vehicles, and were specially developed for jungle combat with heavy machine guns, recoil-free cannons, flamethrowers, and everything was available, and they were hit by the Japanese army with only automatic rifles in their hands, without any pressure.

With wave after wave, the Japanese army's established dispersion system collapsed completely, and thousands of scattered soldiers fled into the jungle in panic, trying to resist stubbornly.

It was probably feasible in the past, but now there is no door!

The two mechanized regiments broke into Yangmiding, and immediately confronted the Japanese guards there after cutting off their routes. At the same time, they divided some of their forces to defend against the impact of the remaining troops of the Japanese 48th Division.

Their timing was so good that the Japanese army on the opposite side did not react at all. The ones here didn't have time to retreat. They watched the other four infantry regiments clean up one by one, killing the piles of Japanese soldiers without mercy!

The battle started suddenly, fought fiercely, made rapid progress, and achieved results that were not expected by the commanders of both sides.

When Sun Liren reported to him that they had killed a division, there were not many people who could believe it. Only after seeing the bill, Zhu Bin bit his back teeth and hissed: "I said this guy really did what he did! He learned my wasteful tactics so quickly, which was cruel enough! If he could not deal with the next division of the devils, Sun would not be qualified to enjoy such a great reputation!"

Just kidding, can the officers who were worried about being split and suppressed by Jiang, and there were few brushes to get on the stage? When Sun Liren returned to the training, various ratings showed his excellence. That was the focus of Zhu Bin!

The news was recognized, and the rest of the people were anxious.

Xue Yue always thought that he was the fastest, and he thought that he would be taken first by a group of light-equipped troops! He was also one of the military leaders who was not favored by Chiang Kai-shek and excluded. He also wanted to take the opportunity to show off. Without saying a word, he immediately sent out the elite armored troops under his command.

This movement was fine. Hundreds of tanks and hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles rumbling, sweeping forward from the direction of Lashio like a torrent of steel, and sent half an armored division to head south to Taungchi, opening a new battlefield in the name of help, and snatching territory openly!

The Japanese and American troops on the opposite side could not withstand his approach. One division and an American division were not even organized to effectively block, and they were forced to break through the defense line in front of them, and half of the armored division was stabbed into their hearts, blooming from all sides. Then, an armored craze like a mountain torrent began to swim the plains!

Of course, the other two infantry divisions, Liao Yaoxiang and Dai Anlan, were unwilling to fall behind. After only a few hours of Sun Liren, they also launched a fierce attack. At the same time, they all used armored regiments to open the way. This was not important. The entire Mandalay surrounded three sides, with 500 tanks alone, and more than a thousand armored vehicles!

The powerful chariot corps that could sweep a country were put into the battlefield. The main force of the coalition immediately could not hold back. The outer defense line collapsed repeatedly. In less than a day, it was compressed around Mandalay. The dense hedgehogs were integrated into a group, and the crisis was about to come soon!
Chapter completed!
