The Japanese defended the left side of the first line of defense, and there was probably a large number of troops.

Two hours after the shelling of the temporary regiment, most of the casualties had already been lost.

Now the Japanese army on the left side, there are only a few hundred people who can breathe.

However, what is surprising is that the captain of the Japanese army on the left is still alive and tenaciously.

Although he had lost an arm, was blinded by a dog's eye, and his lower body was castrated by flying shell fragments, the Japanese captain was still shouting.

Li Lei took a look at the binoculars and told the attacking troops to kill the Japanese captain for me.

What the hell, pretending to be forced in front of me?

Let you die a good death.

After receiving Li Lei's order, Li immediately ordered the entire battalion to be dispatched.

The number of Japanese troops on the left side, he had already scouted it, and as soon as he received Li Lei's order, he asked his troops to attack immediately.

The tanks rumbled and smoked past, followed by the infantry.

Hundreds of devils saw the tank coming, and rushed up from the trench, and Li Da was a little stunned.

What does this mean?

Human bombs?

Without Li Da's order, the soldiers operating the heavy machine guns on the tank had already opened fire on the devils suddenly.

The bullet with thick fingers hit the devil, and with just a few bullets, the devil was directly stopped and beaten into two sections.

The tank kept firing, and as soon as the cannon hit, several devils were blown up and flew high, screaming again and again.

The fighters behind the tank also kept firing guns, and the light and heavy machine guns fired together, and soon more than a hundred devils who loved to rush over were killed.

The battlefield immediately fell silent.

Li Da took the binoculars and looked at it, but there was no movement at all on the position of the devil opposite.

Is the devil retreating or dying?

"Tell our tanks, aim at the positions of the devils, and bomb me, the positions here can't be just a little devils. There's no movement now, and I don't know what bad things are holding in the trenches. Let the soldiers be careful, don't follow the devil's way. ”

The tank opened fire with a bang, and clouds of smoke rose from the position of the devils, and occasionally a few devils were blown up by the tank's shells.

Li Da smiled and wanted to set up a trap for our old Li, you are still tender.

After discovering that there were still devils in the trenches, Li Da was able to immediately Ning Jin a battalion, and all the artillery was aimed, grandma's, see if your little devil can withstand it.

Dozens of infantry guns and quite a few mortars began to attack the Japanese positions.

Ten minutes later, the 1st battalion attacked again.

This time, the Japanese position was really quiet.

The effect of the shelling is very good, and the corpses of the devils are not very intact.

Many devils were blown up and blurred in flesh and blood, and they lost their human form.

The first battalion, having tore a hole in the left side, did not stop and continued to advance.

The positions of the Japanese were taken over by subsequent units.

The entire temporary 1st regiment, which quickly broke through from the left side of the Japanese position, began to attack the second line of defense.

At this time, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army ordered the Japanese troops on the defensive line to defend to the death. The Japanese troops in Tonggu were gathering and preparing to retreat.

The commander of the 18th Japanese Division, Shinichi Tanaka, planned to abandon the Japanese troops on the defensive line, so that his 18th Division, the troops that could be withdrawn, would probably have the strength of a wing.

Because one wing has already gone to Mawlamyine, in this way, his division will still have two wings after retreating.

Although it is said that half of the troops have been lost, it is already very good to be able to withdraw.

The 55th Division of the Japanese Army, which was defending Moltke, was also preparing to retreat, but because the 55th Division had a small number of troops, after abandoning the Japanese troops on the defensive line, the 55th Division only withdrew the strength of one brigade.

With the addition of a wing that had already reached Mawlamyine, the strength was less than five thousand men.

Wang Han, who was carrying out a bombing mission in the air, immediately reported to Li Lei after discovering the Japanese army's abnormal movements.

The Japanese are retreating?

After Li Lei heard Zhao Gang read the telegram, he was very surprised, it had only been long since the attack began, why did the Japanese army suddenly retreat?

And the direction of retreat, is Mawlamyine?

Li Lei walked to the map, thinking about what the hell is Okamura Ningji doing?

Now that the Japanese army has no way to retreat, Mawlamyine is now in their own hands, what are the Japanese troops doing when they retreat to Mawlamyine?

Even if they retreat to Mawlamyine, where can they run without their battleships?

When it comes to Mawlamyine, isn't it the same as being surrounded?

Zhao Gang squinted his eyes and said, "Commander, you said that this devil, will he withdraw to country T?" After all, it's their territory. ”

Zhao Gang reminded him like this, and Li Lei also felt that it was possible.

The Japanese army here is destined to not be able to stay, if according to Zhao Gang's guess, the last bit of strength of the Japanese army can really be saved.

"Tell Yang Liqing that no matter how many Japanese troops go to Mawlamyine, his troops must hold on for me for a day. Our troops will soon be able to catch up with the retreating Japanese troops. Want to run? There are no doors. ”

Li Lei told Zhao Gang: "Order the troops, speed up the attack, break through the remaining two lines of defense of the Japanese army within three hours, and then pursue the Japanese 18th Division, and you must kill them for me." ”

Several battalions, having received orders, immediately accelerated the pace of the attack.

I heard that the Japanese army was fleeing, and the battalion commanders of several battalions took out their old bottoms.

Tanks, artillery, mortars, heavy machine guns, everything you can use.

Originally, the Japanese defense line had been blown up and was full of holes, and it was already the best effort to hold it.

After the intensity of the attack of the temporary regiment increased suddenly, the Japanese army was simply unable to resist.

The defeated were crushed and retreated.

After only two hours, the 1st Regiment broke through the two remaining lines of defense of the Japanese army.

The Fifth and Sixth Armies had successfully launched an offensive from the flanks, and the Japanese troops who had retreated from the defensive line were soon caught by the left and right of the two armies.

The retreating Japanese troops obviously did not expect the opposing troops to appear from their flanks, and the Japanese troops, who had already lost their combat effectiveness, simply could not resist.

Soon the troops of the two armies surrounded the retreating Japanese army.

When the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army were conducting a general attack on the remaining Japanese troops, Li Lei's temporary regiment had already set out from Tonggu at this time and pursued the retreating Japanese 18th Division.

The 18th Division of the Japanese Army retreated very quickly, and it was a completely lifeless retreat.

All their baggage was lost, not even their few infantry guns.

All the devils who retreated, all with guns only.

It was to speed up the retreat.

Shinichi Tanaka was very anxious.

He knew very well that the troops he stayed in Tonggu would not be able to resist for long at all.

Being able to block the other party for half a day is already the limit.

Just when Tanaka Shinichi was worried, the devil behind caught up and said in horror: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, there are pursuers behind us. ”

What the?

Shinichi Tanaka, who heard the news, chuckled in his heart, his feet went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

How could the opposing army's troops catch up so quickly?

Tonggu's defense line was broken through by the other party so quickly?

Tanaka Shinichi ordered: "Tell the troops to retreat to Mawlamyine as quickly as possible, and be sure to throw off the pursuers behind us." ”

At this time, the 1st Regiment was pursuing at full speed, and at the forefront was the 1st battalion of Li Da's ability.

In the entire temporary regiment, his battalion was the most mechanized, with the most trucks and combat vehicles, and was able to pursue at the fastest speed.

Immediately after that was the 5th Battalion, the tanks marched much faster than the infantry.

Once the tanks and trucks were moving, the infantry could not catch up at all.

Just when Tanaka Shinichi led his remaining wing to Mawlamyine, the first battalion and the fifth battalion of Li Da's ability had already appeared in their sight.

After Tanaka Shinichi's troops converged with Mawlamyine's Japanese troops, he immediately launched an attack on Mawlamyine with his troops.

Li Da's troops had already appeared behind his division, and if his 18th division could not take Mawlamyine back in time, then his troops would be attacked from the back.

Originally, he thought that Mawlamyine did not have many opposing troops at all, so he immediately ordered the Japanese army to attack.

As a result, his troops lost hundreds of men in a single charge, which immediately surprised him.

The 55th Division of the Japanese army had not yet arrived.

And there is no news at all.

Shinichi Tanaka had a bad premonition.

It is very likely that the 55th Division has already retreated and will not come back.

Now the wing of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army in Mawlamyine is also under the command of Shinichi Tanaka.

So at the moment his strength is combined, there are three wings.

Three Wings......

Not bad, almost the number of troops of a C-class division.

If you want to recapture Mawlamyine, it should be no problem.

Shinichi Tanaka had a good idea, he used the strength of three wings to attack Mawlamyine, and if it went well, it was possible to recapture Mawlamyine.

After all, in Mawlamyine, there are only Yang Liqing's sixth battalion and Chen Anping's seventh battalion.

The sixth battalion has strong combat effectiveness and a large number of troops.

But the seventh battalion had just been formed, and it was less than a thousand people.

It's all navy again, and in the face of Tanaka Shinichi's attack, it's hard to help.

But Shinichi Tanaka wanted to lay Mawlamyine in a short period of time, and that was impossible.

It's hard to say how long it will take, but the six battalions guarding Mawlamyine for a week is no problem at all.

A month is also possible if properly directed.

Shinichi Tanaka wanted to take down Mawlamyine right away, but those copies were impossible.

Not long after he gave the order to attack, he was surprised to find that the troops of his first attack did not seem to have done anything except an increase in casualties.

This shocked Shinichi Tanaka.

He immediately asked the commander of the Japanese wing who arrived here first, which unit was stationed in Mawlamyine?

But the commander of the Japanese wing did not know at all, as soon as he led the wing to attack, the opponent's artillery opened heavy fire on his troops.

Even the opponent's forward position can't get close.
