"Chen Anping, what is there now in Mawlamyine is a Japanese warship, and it is in your hands, can it be driven?" Li Lei asked Chen Anping.

Chen Anping nodded solemnly: "Regiment commander, don't worry, no matter what kind of battleship it is, the basic principle is the same, as long as you can go up, my seventh battalion is guaranteed to be able to drive the battleship!" ”

Li Lei nodded, and thought about the whole plan again: "Sixth battalion, seventh battalion, let's go!" ”

The troops of the two battalions immediately set out and marched sharply towards the Mawlamyinese business.

Zhao Gang was a little worried: "Leader, isn't this plan a bit risky?" Whether Xu Hu's special operations battalion can take down the Japanese warships is not good. ”

His fears were justified.

Although Xu Hu's special operations battalion was very strong in combat, after all, the number of people was only 800.

It was a very difficult task to blow up the Japanese army's oil depot and capture five Japanese warships.

Li Lei nodded: "It is indeed difficult, but if you command it properly, it should still be possible." It doesn't take many people to blow up the oil depot. The most difficult thing was the capture of the Japanese warships.

Xu Hu's telegram said that the Japanese army had five warships.

If you want to take down the Japanese warships in one fell swoop, you must attack at the same time.

In this case, the average number of people attacking without a battleship is about 130 people.

The Japanese troops docked at Mawlamyine must have small warships, and I estimate that there will be no more than a hundred Japanese soldiers on each battleship.

If it was on the ground, it would not be Xu Hu's opponent at all.

However, because Xu Hu was not familiar with the Japanese warships, if they attacked, they might suffer some losses.

However, I don't think it's a big problem, so I can fight it as a street fight.

Political commissar, our special operations battalion is very strong in combat and even more powerful than you think.

You can rest assured. ”

Two days later, the 6th and 7th battalions of the 1st Provisional Regiment had arrived at Dawei.

And the large force of the expeditionary force has also arrived at Pingmanna and Laoikao.

Li Lei's temporary regiment, as the main force, was closest to the Japanese army in Tonggu, in Yadasi, north of Tonggu.

An attack on the Japanese army can be launched at any time.

After the command issued the order, Li Lei immediately ordered his artillery unit to carry out a large-scale artillery bombardment of Tonggu.

At the same time, Wang Han's plane bombed the forward positions of the Japanese army in Tonggu.

The target of Wang Han's plane was the anti-tank fortifications set up by the Japanese army, as well as the strong pillboxes of the Japanese army.

Destroying these things can greatly reduce the pressure on the troops to attack.

After giving the troops the order to bombard, Li Lei immediately ordered Xu Hu to blow up the Japanese army's oil depot and paralyze the Japanese planes at the airfield.

At the same time, it launched a surprise attack on the Japanese warships, striving to occupy the five Japanese warships within three hours.

Ordered Yang Liqing's 6th Battalion and Chen Anping's 7th Battalion, taking advantage of the fact that all the attention of the Japanese army was in Tonggu, the troops of their two battalions immediately launched a surprise attack on Mawlamyine.

Strive to reach the port of Mawlamyine within half a day and join Xu Hu's special operations battalion.

Although the commander of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army knew that sooner or later there would be such a battle, he was still taken aback in the face of the powerful offensive posture of the expeditionary force.

His command kept receiving telegrams, which made him a little anxious.

The opponent's attack this time was obviously prepared to complete the battle, and it was not an attack on a certain point at all, but an all-out attack.

Tonggu and Moltke were under heavy shelling from each other at the same time.

After the shelling, it must have been a massive charge.

What made Okamura Ninji feel the most incredible was that in Mawlamyine, the opposing party's troops actually appeared.

Frightened, Okamura's hands trembled.

How could the opposing army's troops appear in Mawlamyine unnoticed.

Our troops, are they all blind?

Mawlamyine is our logistics support base, if Mawlamyine is occupied by the other side, then there is no possibility of victory in the two divisions of Tonggu and Moltke.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army said worriedly: "Your Excellency, commander, do we need to provide support to Mawlamyine?" There are only two brigades of troops stationed in Mawlamyine, and they are still baggage troops. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold there. ”

Okamura Ninji sighed: "They definitely won't be able to hold it. Order the 18th Division to immediately send a wing of troops for reinforcement, and be sure to hold our supply depots. ”

Shinichi Tanaka, commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, who received the order, was shocked.

His first thought was that it was simply impossible.

The two divisions of them held Tonggu and Moltke, how could the other party suddenly appear in Mawlamyine?

He just couldn't figure it out.

However, since it was sent by the headquarters, he did not dare to slack off and immediately transferred the strength of a wing to support Mawlamyine.

Just when this wing of the Japanese army was preparing to support Mawlamyine, Xu Hu's special operations battalion had already begun to attack the Japanese warships.

The Japanese army's oil depot in Mawlamyine had already been blown up by them.

It went very well.

The oil depot was huge, but the members of the special operations battalion blew it up without much effort.

The raging fire caused by the explosion was dozens of meters high, and the flames and smoke could be seen from afar.

At the same time as the explosion, Xu Hu's special operations battalion launched an attack on the Japanese warships at the same time.

Before the explosion, Xu Hu's troops had quietly climbed onto the Japanese warship with ropes, and when it exploded, several special combat forces launched an attack at the same time.

The Japanese soldiers who were sleeping were awakened by the loud sound of the explosion and ran to the deck to see what was happening.

After most of the Japanese troops appeared on the deck, the fighters of the special operations battalion attacked from the shadows.

The submachine guns in the hands of every soldier were firing, and bullets were flying everywhere.

The devils who didn't react were shot one after another.

There was simply no place on the deck to hide, and all the dead spots had been sealed.

In the dark night, the fierce fire of submachine guns from the Japanese battleship continued, and the flashing light briefly shone on the battleship.

The Japanese soldiers on the Japanese battleships did not expect that someone would sneak attack their battleship, and they did not react at all for a while.

The Japanese soldiers on the deck did not have weapons at all, and after a burst of heavy fire, the Japanese soldiers on the deck were killed and wounded.

After killing the Japanese troops there, the soldiers of the special operations battalion began to clean up the Japanese troops on the battleship little by little, starting from the deck.

The inside of the battleship is very cramped, and the soldiers of the special operations battalion who are on the battleship for the first time are a little uncomfortable.

The Japanese soldiers inside were very familiar with the battleship, so they always hid in the shadows and shot.

It caused a lot of casualties to the special warfare.

Xu Hu decided to temporarily stop the cleaning of Japanese warships.

Anyway, the wheelhouse of the Japanese battleship has been occupied, and the battleship can't escape.

He ordered all the exits on the deck to be guarded, and to kill the Japanese as soon as they showed their heads.

All of a sudden, the special operations battalion and the Japanese army were at a stalemate.

At this time, the 6th and 7th battalions had already entered Mawlamyine.

Yang Liqing's sixth battalion advanced very quickly.

The two brigades of the Japanese army guarding Mawlamyine were no match for the 6th Battalion at all.

For the baggage troops of the Japanese army, Yang Liqing's combat effectiveness of the sixth battalion was simply outstanding.

Not to mention the Japanese army, even Chen Anping of the Seventh Battalion was bombed.

When he set off from Pingmanna, Chen Anping was stunned when he saw Yang Liqing's sixth battalion, and 10,000 alpacas roared past in his heart.

What the hell is this a battalion!?

Chen Anping looked at the rumbling tanks, combat vehicles and trucks of the sixth battalion, and the artillery that was already dragged behind the butt of the truck, and he didn't know how to describe his mood.

He really wanted to run to Li Lei and say to Li Lei, why don't you make my seventh battalion into an infantry battalion.

Looking at the equipment of Yang Liqing's sixth battalion, it really tickled his heart.

Although Chen Anping is the captain of the ship, he has seen a lot of good things.

But after all, the number of battles in which his battleships took part was very small, almost none.

Because there are so few warships in the whole country that they are no match for the Japanese Navy at all.

During the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese warships directly blocked Chongming Island.

Dozens of large warships lined up there, and a dozen of their small warships couldn't get out, let alone meet the battle.

I could only watch dryly as the Japanese battleships continued to fire their guns.

That feeling of powerlessness is really painful.

It can be said that most of the captains like him did not engage Japanese warships.

So he was very eager to fight a real battle with the Japanese army.

Seeing Yang Liqing's six battalions, his heart was boiling.

This is war!

Just looking at the equipment was enough to shock him.

When I arrived at Mawlamyine, I saw that Yang Liqing's sixth battalion was attacking the Japanese army like chopping melons and vegetables, and he didn't talk about any tactical tactics at all.

In the face of absolute strength, any tactical tactics are superfluous.

The tank just ran over it.

Rampage is simply unreasonable.

The Japanese guarding Mawlamyine had no heavy weapons, only mortars and machine guns.

In the face of an attack by tanks, there is no effect at all.

Several heavy machine gun firing points of the Japanese army, as soon as they began to fire, were bombed by the tanks of the 6th battalion.

Only an hour later, the Japanese troops guarding Mawlamyine were surrounded by six battalions.

The strength of the two brigades is only a few hundred people left.

After a burst of artillery fire, hundreds of devils were completely destroyed.

Yang Liqing said happily to Chen Anping: "See you and laugh." ”

Laughing!?

Chen Anping really wants to beat Yang Liqing up, you are angry!

However, considering that Yang Liqing is in the first phase of Whampoa, and his physique is much stronger than him, Chen Anping thinks it's better to forget it.

The two Japanese brigades stationed in Mawlamyine were annihilated, and Yang Liqing ordered the 6th Battalion to immediately enter the defensive position.

Mawlamyine was an important supply ground for the Japanese army, and it was likely that the Japanese army in Tonggu would come to reinforce it.

Be sure to hurry up and build the fortifications.

At the same time, on the outskirts of Mawlamyine, reconnaissance troops were dispatched to report as soon as they discovered Japanese troops.

The strength of a company found a large warehouse of the Japanese army in Mawlamyine, not only food, but also a large number of weapons.

At the airfield in Mawlamyine, Japanese planes were lined up neatly.

The pilots of the Japanese army have been killed.

Yang Liqing counted, seventy planes, not one less.
