At the same time, the artillery fire suddenly rang out, blossoming on all sides, and everywhere there was smoke of gunpowder, and the attack finally made a new progress.

On July 3, the 261st Regiment occupied Huitou Mountain.

On July 6, the 88th Division occupied Laoyingpun, and the 260th Regiment recaptured the 5255th Heights.

On July 7, the 263rd Regiment captured Nanchang near Laohubeng, posing a threat to the Japanese Menglianpo stronghold, and the 1st Regiment of Honor took the opportunity to capture Changlinggang and occupy Shengou, and the 88th Division captured the wheat field and Yangmei Mountain in front of Jianshan Temple and Changlinggang.

The lost stronghold north of Longling has finally returned to the hands of the expeditionary force.

Seeing the sudden change in the situation of the well-organized "Battle of Bengmiao," Sakaguchi hurriedly sent reinforcements from Mangshi again, equipped with chariots, field artillery, mountain artillery, and howitzers, and hurried to Longling.

Unexpectedly, the reinforcements were stuck on the way.

Mangshi is the only place to go to Longling...... On the Mukang section of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, Japanese convoys gradually entered the mountains one after another......

It began to turn downhill, and the long snake-like convoy meandered towards it, slowly entering the cresting ditch.

In the dense woods on both sides of the road, the 228th Regiment of the 76th Division had been waiting for a long time, and seeing the Japanese army entering the ambush circle, Duan Guozheng, the commander of the 228th Regiment, gave an order: "Fight!" Immediately the sound of gunfire rang out, and the tranquil sandwich ditch suddenly exploded. The Japanese car in front was slowing down and turning downhill, and in a panic it stepped on the mine planted by the 228th Regiment, and its body exploded. The two cars collided and caught fire instantly, and the devils in the car hurriedly scrambled to jump down......

Four more devils' trucks are coming from behind! Compared to the trucks in front, those trucks were like snails. The trucks are getting closer! Commander Duan pulled out the safety pin of a grenade, knocked it on the stone, and threw it at the first truck!

The grenade was thrown into the cab of the truck accurately!

The devil in the cab looked at the grenade that fell on the stool with frightened eyes!

The co-pilot immediately opened the door!

Rumble! The grenade exploded! The shock wave from exploding in a small space is particularly staggering!

I saw that the devil in the co-pilot rushed out like a willow leaf blown by the wind, fell heavily to the ground, and died with a whimper!

The driver was kicked off by a huge shock wave, smashed his head through the glass and fell on the hood! The heat from the grenade explosion ignited the oil circuit, and after just a second or two, the fuel tank was detonated!

Rumble! Another bombing! Like a burning bomb exploded, a ball of fire engulfed the entire carriage at once!

All the devils in the carriage were wrapped in the flames of the gasoline explosion, and the screams were repeated! Even if you are not burned to death, you are suffocated because the fire has burned out of oxygen!

A devilish officer covered in fire jumped out of the carriage, screaming as he threw out the flames on his body. After a few twists, he fell to the ground, rolled on the ground a few times, and stopped moving! However, the flames on his body continued to burn.

Boom! Behind Captain Duan there was a sound like the cork of champagne had been opened.

The deputy regimental commander fired the first grenade!

Chirp......! The grenade screeched in the air!

Tong! Exploded about a dozen meters from the road!

At this time, Captain Duan had already thrown out the second **! Once again, it fell into the cab of the second truck, and the same drama played out again! However, this time the devil jumped out of the car a few! None of the devils in the car who didn't have time to jump off didn't fall, and they were all burned to death after the fuel tank exploded!

Duan Zhengguo's third grenade landed in the cab of the third truck.

Exploded again and burned a dozen devils!

The deputy regiment commander also fired three grenades! The grenade landed closer and closer to the road!

Commander Duan threw out the fourth grenade, which once again detonated the fuel tank of the fourth truck! The devils all jumped out of the car quickly this time, but the few crooked guns on the car didn't have time to move down!

Commander Duan also shot out the fourth grenade, and this one finally landed on the road! There were just a few devils running, and that ** fell in the middle of the devils and blew up three or four devils!

The car in front was stuck in this sandwich ditch, and the convoy behind had entered the mountain, and it was impossible to enter or retreat, and the people and vehicles were crowded together, chaotic, and it happened to be closed by the 228 regiment to beat the dogs.

The battle of Longling was raging, the Japanese army was waiting for reinforcements, and Major General Sakaguchi was in a hurry to move his plane directly to Mukang, wanting to open up this mountain road as soon as possible so that reinforcements could reach Longling.

The Japanese planes screamed at the head of the 228th Regiment and dropped a series of bombs, which immediately covered the sky with smoke and dust, trees flew sideways, and earth and rocks splashed together.

Under the cover of the aircraft, the relieved Japanese troops began to storm the positions of the 228th Regiment.

The Japanese army attacked the mountains in a crowded manner, but the Japanese troops who attacked could not find the expeditionary force.

The 228th Regiment was the first reinforced regiment of the 76th Division to cross the river in early May, and it had been fighting for more than a month in the siege of Pingga, so it was familiar with the terrain in this area. In the face of this swarming Japanese army, we must not meet face to face, but play hide and seek with them. Commander Duan led the brothers to respond calmly, he took advantage of the favorable terrain to expand the Mukang defensive circle, and commanded the whole regiment to echo the movement in Huangnipo, Bangwu Mountain, Hongyan Mountain and other places, and specifically picked the Japanese army to fight on the back.

In order to take Mukang as soon as possible to achieve the purpose of reinforcing Longling, the Japanese army intensified its attack. The Japanese bombarded with planes and heavy artillery bombardment, and then the 228th Regiment held on tightly, but did not let the Japanese break through this defensive line.

On July 6, Sakaguchi added more than 1,000 troops to Mukang and organized death squads to prepare to storm Mukang, but they still failed to break through the encirclement and defense line of the 228th Regiment.

Duan Zhengguo once again personally saw the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, in the team battle, even when it was in a desperate situation, the courage and broken faith of the Japanese broke out, sounded the alarm for him, weapons do not represent everything, soldiers are the most important, if it is the premise of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, it is difficult to take back Longling from the hands of the Japanese army.

Taking advantage of the lively fighting on Mukang's side, the 2nd Army on the left flank quickly approached Mangshi with the 9th Division.

Sakaguchi transferred two troops in a row, and the base camp of Mangshi was already empty, and it was learned that the expeditionary force was stepping up its movement towards Mangshi. Sakaguchi, who got this situation, gasped, if the base camp caught fire, it would be even more difficult to clean up Longling. This is where he still dares to fight, and hurriedly recruited the reinforcements that were stuck in Mukang back to Mangshi.

The 56th Division of the Japanese Army was thus declared bankrupt.
