Chapter 145: The True Combat Power of the Expeditionary Army

Three days later, an unknown Burmese town fifteen kilometers away from Myitkyina

The latest battle report shows that the vanguard of the Japanese army, the 215th Regiment of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Southern Army and the 1st Section of the 3rd Mountain Artillery Battalion, have approached this unknown town less than five kilometers away. The ones defending this place are

The famous Lieutenant General Zheng Dongguo and the Honorable First Division he led. During the bloody battle at Kunlun Pass in 1939, it was Zheng Dongguo who led the Honorary First Division to break through the Japanese defense position at Fairy Mountain in just ten minutes and stormed off in one go.

Entering the depths of the Japanese army, they knocked the Japanese army's defensive deployment into pieces, and launched a bloody battle with the Japanese army in depth, which ultimately laid the absolute foundation for the Chinese army to seize the commanding heights of Kunlun Pass and win the Battle of Kunlun Pass.

"Bang bang bang -" On the national army's position, the soldiers were busy doing the final reinforcement of the position. As an ally of the British and American Allied Forces, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has always been regarded as an invader by the indigenous people of Myanmar, and the Japanese

People are regarded as liberators by them, so they must not have a good attitude towards the expeditionary force. After all, Zheng Dongguo has spent some time in Myanmar and is aware of the hostility of the locals towards them. He has no intention of using the power of the indigenous people here to conquer the people in the town.

After all the natives were expelled, the entire town was transformed into a huge fortified fortress. Barricades, bunkers, hidden firepower points, minefields, anti-tank trenches, traps, traps... His layout of the town was as if

It was the method used by the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties to turn Nanchang into a huge fortress during the Nanchang Defense War, but it was just a smaller one.

"Creak -" A brake sound sounded at the entrance of the town. Song Yuanming was the first to jump out of the Willis jeep. Du Yuming, the commander of the Fifth Army, followed him with an angry look on his face and walked toward the small town.

Walk into the town.

"Military seat, chief seat!" Zheng Dongguo, who directed the soldiers to make final improvements and reinforcements to the battlefield, hurriedly put on his white gloves that were slightly yellowed by the dust and saluted the two men. Song Yuanming waved his hand and said: "That's useless.

Don't come here. Now, I will promulgate the latest battlefield decree. First, all officers are not allowed to wear rank ribbons during combat. Second, all soldiers are not allowed to salute when they see their superiors. Third, all soldiers must keep their faces clean and tidy.

Not even a stubble of beard is allowed to grow on your face. Fourthly, smoking is not allowed during night operations. Anyone who violates this order will be subject to military law!"

"Chief, this..." Zheng Dongguo didn't understand these newly issued battlefield laws in Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. In fact, this was also an effective way for later generations to effectively avoid snipers from making cold shots. The US military was on the battlefield in Iraq because of these few laws.

The articles often attracted attacks from anti-American armed snipers, and after paying a bloody price, they summed up these few experiences. Zheng Dongguo didn't understand, but as soon as he uttered three words, he discovered the tattoos on the collars of Song Yuanming and Du Yuming.

All the military rank bouquets have been removed, which is why Du Yuming has an angry look on his face. Since the military seat and the chief seat have taken the lead in taking off the military rank, why should I still wear it, looking for scolding? Zheng Dongguojing

He gave a straight military salute: "Understood, sir!"

"It seems that you still need some time to adapt." Song Yuanming patted Zheng Dongguo's right hand that was saluting the military salute.

"Eh? What are you two doing?" When inspecting the position, Song Yuanming was surprised to find that two soldiers were busy peeing on the bayonets of their rifles, and couldn't help but ask aloud. Because they took off their rank badges, the two soldiers

They didn't know that the person standing in front of them was the top commander of the expeditionary force. They thought they were soldiers from other companies. One of them said mysteriously: "Brother, you don't know. You know why the Japanese are so difficult to defeat.

Those are all desperadoes who drank the talisman. If we pour urine on this bayonet, the talisman will not work."

"Is there such a thing?" Song Yuanming asked, dumbfounded. The reason why the Japanese were difficult to fight was that they had superior weapons and equipment, and their physical fitness was better than that of the national army. It had nothing to do with whether they drank or not. The two reasons are not.

Seeing Song Yuanming's disbelieving expression, a soldier was about to say something when a staff officer in a woolen uniform hurried over: "Main Block, the forward observation post reported that the Japanese vanguard was found five kilometers away!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a faint whistling sound of artillery shells piercing the air. "Japanese heavy artillery group!" Someone shouted, and all the busy soldiers immediately got into the anti-aircraft holes. Song Yuanming and others

It was the Japanese heavy artillery shells that blasted back to the headquarters of the Honorable First Division. He smelled of gunfire and gunfire, and his clothes also had several holes cut by shrapnel.

"General seat." Seeing Song Yuanming like this, Zheng Dongguo hurriedly came up to help him, but Song Yuanming waved his big hand: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine, I can fight your battle with peace of mind! They say that the Honorable First Division is invincible in the world, Kunlun Pass

You have demonstrated the majesty of Chinese soldiers, and today I want to see if you can continue to create glory!!!"

Half an hour later, outside the town, Harada, captain of the 215th Regiment of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Southern Army, looked at Masa Nakai, captain of the third mountain artillery brigade not far away: "Nakai-kun, the bombardment has continued.

After half an hour, I thought that the Chinese troops on the opposite side must be like mice, either killed by shells in dirty holes, or they have fled in confusion." (Japanese)

"I think it's almost done." Nakai Masa nodded and said, "In five minutes, the artillery fire will stop!!!" (Japanese)

Five minutes later, the 12 75mm mountain cannons of the Third Mountain Artillery Battalion stopped firing. The 3rd Squadron of the 215th Wing took the lead in launching the charge, followed closely by the 4th Squadron and the 1st Squadron. Different from what they usually encountered.

Unlike the Chinese army, which was on the verge of collapse, the Chinese army on the opposite position seemed to be particularly powerful in combat. They did not blindly counterattack and charge. Instead, they put the three brigades within a hundred meters and opened fire with light and heavy machine guns. After the first round of strafing,

, the Japanese army lost 308 people in the battle. The first round of charge was blocked, and the Japanese commanders immediately ordered to find bunkers on the spot, and at the same time ordered the mortar team and heavy machine gun team to start fighting back.

After a round of artillery fire, the Chinese defenders outside the town began to retreat. "Still so vulnerable!" the squadron leader of the 1st Squadron said disdainfully, "Warriors of the Empire, charge!" (Japanese) 1st Squadron

It rushed toward the town with the momentum of a tide sweeping the earth. From time to time, gunshots like exploding beans rang out in the town. Suddenly, the gunfire of the Type 38 rifle disappeared, replaced by a Czech light machine gun. Maxim's heavy

The roar of machine guns, the roar of a storm, was occasionally mixed with one or two muffled thunderous explosions.

"Sir, look over there!" (Japanese) The No. 1 Squadron in the town was obviously hopeless. Just as the two Japanese squadron captains who were staying outside the town were still rejoicing, a soldier suddenly shouted in surprise. Two

The squadron leader turned his head to look, and couldn't help but take a breath of air. Tanks... so many tanks! The deafening sound of diesel engines sounded in the dense forest outside the town, and then, in the billowing smoke and dust, at least five tanks

More than a dozen Soviet-made T-26 tanks lined up in a row, charging toward the two Japanese squadrons menacingly.

Except for the 60 mortars, which are heavy weapons, the weapons in the two squadrons of the Japanese army are standard equipment for ordinary infantry. Even the German No. 1 tank used by the Chinese army at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War cannot be used.

Eliminate, not to mention the T-26, which has much greater firepower than the Panzer 1 tank.

With a muffled sound of "Boom -", a 37mm high-explosive round came out of the barrel, followed by another loud bang, and huge fires and explosions exploded among the Japanese infantry. More than fifty people

The tank cluster composed of T-26 tanks rushed towards the Japanese troops like a crushing force. The Chinese soldiers following the tank cluster looked unlucky. Damn it, if you follow this iron lump, you will not only eat ashes,

I can only do last-minute hits, right?

Before Harada and Nakai could react, the expeditionary force's tank cluster had surrounded the entire 215th Regiment. The tank crews excitedly drove their tanks towards the infantry cluster on the opposite side, firing their main guns and machine guns together.

The anger and resentment that had been accumulated in my heart since entering Myanmar was finally released. I used the tracks of the tank to crush the little devil's head under the helmet. It was really a relief!!!
