Chapter 316: Conquering Myitkyina

The development of things has exceeded Zhao Zhi's expectations, since Yan Shijun brought Cao Yan to come that day, there has been no news, and even the truck that came to deliver the loot every once in a while ago did not come. "Green" Fortunately, when he received supplies last time, the rich man got a lot of things from the airport, or he would have starved Zhao Zhi and them to death.

"Come back, Sister Qingqing has called for dinner several times" Linda gently tugged on Zhao Zhi's sleeve, Linda accompanied Zhao Zhi to sit on this small hillside for a morning, the air after the rain was fresh, but Zhao Zhi's mood was not very good, and even with Linda, he just snuggled up to Zhao Zhi but did not speak. There were a few weeds on Zhao Zhi's body, Linda waved her hand carefully and dusted those weeds down, Linda knew that Zhao Zhi was worried about Yan Shijun and them, but she didn't dare to persuade Zhao Zhi, so she could only stay by his side.

It was already the end of June, and there were only a few days left before the general attack designated by the headquarters, and a reconnaissance company like Yan Shijun should have been sent before the attack, and it was a reconnaissance unit like them that suffered casualties first. It's been half a month, Yan Shijun hasn't come to the warehouse again, so Zhao Zhi is a little worried, so he has to stand on the small hill in front of the warehouse for a while every day, Yuan Qingqing smiled and said that Zhao Zhi is about to become a wangfu stone.

As Zhao Zhi worried, Yan Shijun's company was indeed in a predicament, he lost his way in a valley, and by mistake, he actually broke into the Japanese defensive position. The morning when Zhao Zhi sat on the hillside and was worried, it was when Yan Shijun led his company to fight fiercely with the Japanese army, the number of Japanese troops far exceeded the number of Yan Shijun's Lin pair, and the Japanese army also had heavy machine guns and mortars, and the situation was very unfavorable to Yan Shijun.

The signal for help had already been sent, and it would take 7 hours for reinforcements to arrive, so Yan Shijun could only support as hard as possible, using simple bunkers to block the frantic attacks of the Japanese army. The battle situation was far more tragic than Yan Shijun imagined, the reinforcements came late, 10 hours late, it was only 7 hours away, but they took 17 hours because they were lost. When the reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, it was the 21st time that Yan Shijun's company had repelled the Japanese attack, and there were only 50 people left in the entire infantry company, and almost everyone was wounded.

There was no need for reinforcements to help, Yan Shijun's company paid more than half of the casualties, and almost exhausted the Japanese troops besieging them. As soon as the reinforcements rushed into the battlefield, the Japanese began to retreat, and their remaining strength was no longer enough to compete with so many expeditionary forces. Facing the outstretched hand of the reinforcement commander, Yan Shijun didn't look at it, his eyes were on his brothers who were lying in a pool of blood and moaning in pain, just a simple lead reconnaissance, and the entire company was killed and wounded.

While Zhao Zhi was waiting, Yan Shijun came, this time by truck, bringing back the ashes of 35 brothers. Looking at the small wooden boxes that Yan Shijun took down from the carriage one by one, Zhao Zhi's face was pale, and despite Yuan Qingqing and Linda's obstruction, he slapped Yan Shijun hard with his belt, until Cao Yan knelt and hugged his legs, Zhao Zhi could be regarded as stupid.

"Sir, you can't fight anymore, he has injuries on his body, we ran out of the hospital secretly" Before Cao Yan's words were finished, he was glared back by Yan Shijun with a fierce look. Regardless of the blood stains on his face, Yan Shijun endured the pain and stood in front of Zhao Zhi, and stood straight. Yan Shijun knew in his heart that Zhao Zhi beat him for his own good, and he had killed so many brothers in battle, I am afraid that Zhao Zhi's heart would be even more uncomfortable than him.

Zhao Zhi pretended not to see the blood oozing from Yan Shijun's uniform, and reflexively sat down on the stool that Linda had moved, "Let's talk about it, why are there so many casualties?" "According to Zhao Zhi's understanding of Yan Shijun, this kid is by no means a person who is happy with his achievements, he has been following him for so long, and such a low-level mistake as being greedy for merit should not happen to Yan Shijun, so Zhao Zhi needs to know all the details of Yan Shijun's operation.

"It's not what you think" Yan Shijun knew what Zhao Zhi meant by asking him about the details of the operation, this messed up operation was indeed his own reason, not that someone was behind the scenes as Zhao Zhi thought. "There was a lot of fog in the mountains and forests, and we got lost and stumbled into the Japanese position. Reinforcements were supposed to arrive within 7 hours, but they also got lost, and it took 17 hours. In the first 7 hours, there were only a dozen casualties among my soldiers, and the concentrated casualties were all in the hours after nightfall" Yan Shijun's eyes were full of moisture, but he endured it and did not fall.

"Lang Zhong, hurry up and give Lao Tzu a dead body, give him the injuries on his body, don't let him die in Lao Tzu" Zhao Zhi gave Uncle Guo and Lao Pao a few of them, and asked Lang Zhong to bandage Yan Shijun's wounds, this kid's standing body has begun to shake a little, looking like he is enduring the pain of the injury and supporting it. Zhao Zhi beat and fought, but he couldn't watch Yan Shijun fall like this, and there was a crying Cao Yan kneeling next to him.

"Tell me what you think" Zhao Zhi paced back and forth irritably, he always felt that Yan Shijun had a problem with their actions, but he couldn't figure it out, so he called Uncle Guo and them together to discuss. Zhao Zhi couldn't look at such a big casualty, he had lost his mind to deal with the problem calmly, and at this time, he could only turn to his uncle and their veteran ruffians for help.

"Don't think about it, I asked Cao Yan, they did get lost because of the foggy weather. The Japanese defensive positions were somewhat hidden, and the scouts who came out were too late to retreat, so they could only exchange fire with the Japanese army. The army has done a good job, and the exchange of fire with them is a Japanese-Burmese mixed force, the number of which is about 400 people, even if we encounter such an opponent, the casualties will not be much smaller" The goat patted Zhao Zhi on the shoulder, this was the first time he had done such an action with Zhao Zhi.

"Even if the soldiers are lost because of the foggy weather, are those reinforcements also because of the fog? A 7-hour journey of 17 hours? Zhao Zhi suddenly began to roar and gripped the goat's front liner tightly, and his eyes were already bloodshot. The goat was caught by Zhao Zhi like that, but he had no intention of resisting at all, because he had already seen the blood line flowing from the corner of Zhao Zhi's mouth, and the red blood line instantly blinded the goat, and he could only be pushed by Zhao Zhi like a nerd.

"Old cannon, stun him, hurry" Uncle Guo's reaction was the fastest, and after seeing that Zhao Zhi began to vomit blood again, he shouted for Lao Cannon to stun Zhao Zhi directly, if Zhao Zhi is allowed to go on like this, maybe there will be some accidents. Just when the old cannon's hand was about to smash Zhao Zhihou's erection neck, a mouthful of blood from Zhao Zhi had already spurted out, spraying the goat all over his face, and then the whole person softened.

Yuan Qingqing and Linda, who heard the news, were already crying, and the last time Zhao Zhi vomited blood, Lang Zhong said that if this continues, Zhao Zhi's body will be greatly damaged, and even his life will be in danger. So everyone was frightened, Lang Zhong fell several times in a row when he ran over, and was finally dragged over by Yan Shijun. Zhao Zhi's condition was very bad, until Yan Shijun and Cao Yan left the warehouse, they were still unconscious, and Uncle Guo had to guard him in shifts.

Three days later, Zhao Zhi woke up, and Yuan Qingqing asked Wallace to investigate the matter of the reinforcements, just like Zhao Zhi guessed, there was indeed a reason why the reinforcements were 10 hours late. "Do you remember the three operational staff officers who the headquarters gave us to parachute? There is a pockmarked face inside, and the commander of this reinforcement is the brother of pockmarked face. Wallace privately inquired about a few of the non-commissioned officers in the reinforcements, and they were indeed lost, but the people in charge of the pathfinder were all cronies of the commander, and they had been going around in circles only two mountains away from the army."

"Two mountains? The Japanese used mortars, and they could be heard from both mountains. Damn, this pockmarked face has long looked like it's not a good thing, I knew it was like this, when I was in the mountains, Lao Tzu should have slaughtered this guy" Uncle Guo was angry, his angry lips only trembled, the old man really couldn't find any words to scold this damn pockmarked face. Just to recover the so-called face lost in the battalion directly under him, he threw away the lives of nearly 100 people alive, this guy is really interesting.

"Do you want to tell Little White Face?" Lao Pao looked around at everyone, and the others knew what Lao Pao meant, but Zhao Zhigang woke up, and everyone didn't know what the result would be after he heard the news. But if everyone hides this matter from Zhao Zhi, if Zhao Zhi knows about it one day, it will not be a fun thing, according to Zhao Zhi's character, there will definitely be no good fruit for everyone to eat.

After Yuan Qingqing and Linda nodded in acquiescence, Uncle Guo told Zhao Zhi about this matter and everyone's speculation. What is strange is that after Zhao Zhi listened to it, he didn't have any out-of-the-ordinary reaction, just nodded to show that he understood, and kicked everyone out of the room. Zhao Zhi's abnormality made everyone even more worried, which was not in line with his usual style, so Uncle Guo asked the others to lock up all the guns that could be used in the warehouse, and even the kitchen knives used up by the cook were locked in the warehouse.

Things didn't develop as everyone expected, after Zhao Zhineng got up, he was still as lazy as ever, basking in the sun, fishing, following the goats into the mountains to hunt, accompanying Yuan Qingqing and Linda to watch the sunset, and cheating to win their cigarettes when playing cards with Uncle Guo, this is all the things that Zhao Zhi stayed in the warehouse. He seems to have given up all the things related to the battle, and he almost doesn't look like an officer anymore, even Yan Shijun, who occasionally comes to the warehouse, feels very uncomfortable, but Zhao Zhi himself feels very good.

In July, the headquarters issued a full-scale attack on Myitkyina, and the Japanese army, which was already a turtle in an urn, stubbornly began to resist, but it was still defeated under the powerful firepower of the expeditionary force. By the time Yan Shijun's company was replenished with soldiers to participate in the battle, the expeditionary force had already begun to fight the Japanese army for the streets of Myitkyina, and was fighting the Japanese army house by house. In the face of the strong attack of the expeditionary force, their counterattack was getting stronger and stronger, and on July 18 alone, Yan Shijun's company suffered more than 30 casualties, and this was only the first day that his company re-entered the war zone.

The cruelty of the war was far more tragic than Zhao Zhi and other outsiders imagined, the expeditionary force and the Japanese army were almost face-to-face combat, the house that had just been destroyed by the Japanese army during the day was likely to be snatched back by the Japanese army at night, and the trucks transporting the bodies of the wounded drove to the rear hospital in an endless stream, and the casualties of the expeditionary force and the Japanese army were increasing sharply. Myitkyina was covered in blood, the muddy streets were covered with blood and severed limbs, and there were almost no corpses to be found in the city of Myitkyina, because the corpses were used by the Japanese army to build bunkers, whether they were their own or the enemy's.

The Japanese stubbornly resisted the offensive of the expeditionary force, but the expeditionary force had the cooperation of artillery and air force, and the planes taking off from Myitkyina airfield did not have to travel far to drop bombs on the heads of the Japanese troops. Several trophies warehouses of the expeditionary force were looted, and all mortars, mountain artillery, grenadiers, and grenades were transported to the front line. The mortars kept hitting until the barrels were hot, and the Japanese shells and grenades captured by the expeditionary force were almost all consumed.

The position in Beicheng District was the last guarantee of the Japanese army, so the position was also built very strongly, and several tentative attacks by the expeditionary force were withstood back. Moreover, there were tunnels in the positions of the Japanese troops, and when the expeditionary forces shelled, the Japanese troops would hide in the tunnels, and the shelling would have no effect on them at all, at most they would consume the heavy firepower reserves of the expeditionary forces without control. The original intention of the headquarters was to encircle this place and starve the Japanese army to death inside, but the commander of the 50th Division, Major General Pan Yukun, did not think so, he wanted to follow the domestic will and completely take Myitkyina.

Late at night on August 1, 104 people personally recruited by Pan Yukun formed a "death squad" and walked behind the Japanese position in the rain under the leadership of local overseas Chinese guides. In the early morning of the next day, the "death squads" launched an attack at the same time as the frontal troops, and the Japanese troops who were attacked on their flanks were finally routed. The supreme commander of the Japanese army in Myitkyina, Mizumi Genzo, was forced to commit suicide by pulling out a gun under a large tree by the river. In this battle, more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, more than 70 people were captured, and more than 6,000 Chinese and American allied troops were killed and wounded and sick due to the war, of which 1,244 (272 U.S. troops and 972 Chinese troops) soldiers were killed. ~ To see the first ad-free, please go to "Green"
