Chapter 392 has no choice
As the saying goes, "all roads lead to Rome", and the world optimistically believes in this sentence, thinking that there will be shortcuts and smooth roads in the world...... Don't you know that there are all bumpy roads in the world, and there is only one way to really reach "Rome" -- forward, forward, and indomitable.
There are few born warriors in the world, but most of them are ordinary people who are forced to become warriors by life.
Li Siwei is such a person, and more than 66 regiments are such people.
"Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
Shells rained down on the positions of the 66th Regiment, causing smoke to fill the sky and the mountains to tremble.
"Ahhh......h
In the smoke of gunpowder, the miserable howls were everywhere, and the flesh and blood were flying, and Li Siwei's heart was like a knife, but he had no choice but to hide in the cat's ear hole, and grit his teeth so loudly.
On the left flank position, Ji Kui hid on the lookout post, holding a telescope and staring at the stormtroopers of the little devils, with a thin face on his murderous face.
Not far from both sides, two mountain guns quietly hid in the bunker, and the barrels of the guns stretched out from the fire port in front of the bunker, aiming at the advance route of the little devil stormtroopers, ready to attack.
"Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom ......"
The shells were still desperately smashing into the positions of the 66th Regiment, and the stormtroopers of the little devils were getting closer and closer to the positions of the 66th Regiment......
Suddenly, Ji Kui's pupils shrank suddenly, opened his mouth, and roared angrily, "Fire!" ”
"Bang Bang ......"
On the left flank position, two mountain guns immediately roared.
"......Shhh
The two mountain cannons then roared angrily.
"......Shhh
The cannonball whizzed out of the bunker, drew two graceful arcs, and smashed into the imp's stormtroopers.
"Bang Bang ......"
The two tanks were immediately hit, and then they shook all over their bodies, "boom...... Boom ......", turned into two fireballs, sparks flew everywhere, and the little devil's charging formation suddenly froze.
"Yaga!"
On the position of the little devil, Changling Shaozuo's hand holding the telescope shook and was furious, "How can this be?" How can the hateful Shina people hide their artillery until now? ”
Of course, Changling Shaozo did not know that the mountain artillery of the 66th Regiment had just entered the position.
"Boom...... Rumble......"
As soon as Changling Shaozuo's words fell, he saw two huge fireballs rising from the stormtroopers, and he was immediately furious, "Bomb them off, bomb them off......
However, it was too late.
"Boom...... Rumble......"
As soon as Changling Shaozuo's words fell, the last two tanks in the stormtrooper also turned into two fireballs.
"Hurry up ......"
In the bunker on the left, a row of Zhang was already sweating profusely, but his face was full of excitement, "Give the artillery position of the dog day two more ......"
"Okay!"
The first brother was also full of excitement, and as soon as he agreed, he got busy, adjusting the parameters of the adjustment of the parameters, and preparing the ammunition of the preparation of the ammunition.
After two days of hard fighting, the little devil figured out the weakness of the defenders' lack of heavy artillery, so as soon as the battle began, the artillery retreated forward, and it had already entered the range of the two mountain guns of the 66th Regiment...... At this moment, the goal of killing the little devil tank in one fell swoop has been achieved, and the brothers of the artillery company will naturally not miss this God-given opportunity.
"Shhhh......h
It's just that the little devil's reaction is not slow, and as soon as the mountain artillery in a row is adjusted, the little devil's cannonballs whistling over.
"Bang bang...... Rumble ......"
Two shells smashed on the bunker, which suddenly shook, and dust poured down, and the smoke was pungent to the nose.
"Holy shit,"
The platoon leader was shaken, and hurriedly held on to the wall to stabilize his figure, and when he looked back, he saw that his brothers had been shaken to the ground, and the shells in the arms of the ammunition man had rolled aside, and suddenly he roared, turned around and rushed to the position of the bombardier, "Boom his dog's ......"
As he spoke, he picked up the shell that had fallen on the ground and stuffed it into the chamber.
"Bang...... Shh......h
Immediately, the cannonball roared out of the barrel and into the sky.
"Bang bang...... Rumble ......"
At the same time, two more shells smashed the bunker.
"Click...... Click......"
The wooden stakes used to reinforce the bunker wailed, and the heavy top of the bunker slowly collapsed.
"Evacuate ......"
Inside the bunker, there were shouts, and the soldiers hurriedly retreated.
"Bang...... Whoa...... Bang...... Bang ......"
Immediately afterward, two more shells smashed the bunker, which completely collapsed and became dusty.
On the battlefield, the duel of artillery is rare, it looks like fireworks and majesty, but the danger is unimaginable to outsiders!
"Hahaha......"
A cadre of brothers rushed out of the bunker and sat down in the trench with a dirty face, but they all laughed ecstatically, "One...... There is only one...... Hahaha...... There was a cannon that was blown off by the Lao Tzu! ”
"Yaga!"
On the position of the little devil, Changling Shaozuo was already thunderous, but he was helpless, "Retreat!" Retreat ......"
In this attack, Changling Shaozo wanted to make a desperate gamble and gathered the only six tanks in his department, but he didn't want the defenders to suddenly come up with two mountain guns, destroying all six tanks, and even causing the advancing artillery to lose one mountain gun......
Without the cover of tanks, the stormtroopers will rush forward in vain...... This is the lesson that the Changling Brigade has learned with the sacrifices of more than 200 people in the past two days...... A lesson in blood.
The imp's stormtroopers retreated to their positions in a panic, and the main battlefield soon returned to calm.
On the position of the 66th Regiment, the officers and soldiers of all departments were cleaning up the trenches that were bombed all over the ground, and Li Siwei had just crawled out of the cat's ear hole, when he saw Zhao Xin coming in a hurry, and reported with a happy face, "Report to the regiment leader, the little devil who sneaked up on Jiesha City has been repulsed, and Battalion Commander Luo is leading his troops to pursue!" ”
"Good!"
Li Siwei suddenly made up his mind, and looked back at Liu Tianfu, "Tianfu, let Huang Lian Chang take someone to block it, and don't let Lao Tzu let anyone go...... Let the long memory of the dog day! ”
With the ability of the special service company, it is not difficult to follow the sound of gunfire to block the rout of the little devils.
The sun climbed up into the air and slowly fell to the western horizon, and the little devil in front of him did not move again, only sporadic gunshots rang out from time to time in the rolling hills to the north, and finally fell silent.
As the sun set, there was silence on the positions of the 66th Regiment, and in the temporary headquarters of the central position, all the generals gathered, and a counteroffensive plan was quietly brewing.
Come and don't be rude!
If you have revenge, you will not take revenge, and you are not a gentleman!
Although Li Siwei is not a gentleman, he can't allow little devils to handle it at will.
Encountering on a narrow road is doing it, and on the battlefield, either you die or I die, and there is no room for the slightest cowardice and hesitation!
Of course, Changling Shaozuo suffered such a loss, and naturally wanted to take revenge, but he was powerless, so he had to ask for help from the division headquarters stationed in Bamo.
At the beginning of night, the headquarters of the 56th Division of Bamo was brightly lit and busy, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Watanabe, was sitting at the conference table, silently looking at the battle report sent back by Changling Shaozuo, his brows furrowed more and more, and his anger quickly gathered on that dark and thin face.
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General,"
Major General Sakaguchi, the commander of the infantry regiment on the side, had already read the battle report and whispered, "At present, Myitkyina should be the main thing, as for the direction of Jessa, the so-called poor Kou Mo chase, can make the Changling Brigade retreat appropriately, find favorable terrain to monitor the enemy of Jessa, and wait for Myitkyina...... Jesha's enemies are nothing more than a disease of mustard! ”
Since the reorganization of the 6th Division into a three-wing division, the divisions and regiments of the Japanese invaders no longer have a brigade-level structure, and the post of infantry regiment commander has been added to the unit to command the three infantry wings.
The 56th Division is a typical three-company division, and the search units, tank units, artillery units, engineer units, and baggage units directly under the division are deployed to various infantry units according to the battle plan.
Therefore, the Changling Brigade, which advanced towards Jessha, was also equipped with a small number of mountain artillery and tanks.
"Hmm,"
After listening to Major General Sakaguchi's suggestion, Lieutenant General Watanabe's expression eased slightly, and he gently put down the battle report in his hand, and his tone was calm, "Let's do it!" ”
Myitkyina!
As long as Myitkyina is successfully captured, the Chinese army will be the turtle in the urn!
Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Watanabe stood up suddenly, straightened his clothes and hats, and strode towards the military map hanging on the wall, with another high-spirited expression.
The Japanese invaders' wishful thinking was very loud: the 33rd Division advanced north from the Western Front, intending to seize Wenzao and cut off the expeditionary force's westward retreat; The main force of the 56th Division marched westward from the northern front, intending to seize Myitkyina and completely cut off the expeditionary force's return home; At the same time, the 18th Division and the 55th Division pursued the expeditionary force from the southeast and gradually encroached on it, so as to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the expeditionary force's middle route army in northern Burma.
Therefore, at this time, Myitkyina had become the key to the survival of the middle route army of the expeditionary force.
Of course, the gains and losses of Myitkyina were not something that Li Siwei could control by a small regimental commander, and while the main force of the 56th Division of the Japanese invaders was advancing towards Myitkyina with all his might, he was working hard to repel the enemy in front of Jessa -- the Changling Brigade.
The night moon in Jesha was like a flower, hundreds of insects were contending, and the position of the 66th Regiment was silent, and the various units participating in the battle were quietly gathering.
At the same time, the remnants of the Changling Brigade, the frontal enemy of the 66th Regiment, also quietly moved in the night.
As the night deepened, the night breeze blew a cloud, casting a hazy veil over the bright moon that had just climbed into the middle of the sky.
In the mountain col three miles east of the 66th Regiment's position, the camp of the Changling Brigade was faintly visible in the night.
There was a faint glow of fire in the camp, but there was no sound.
On the hillside north of the camp, a black figure deftly flashed out of the dense forest, disappeared in a flash, and disappeared behind the rocks.
This was followed by the second, third...... Under the cover of rocks and weeds, three black shadows quietly approached the camp of the Changling Brigade.
There was still silence in the camp.
Suddenly, the black shadow in front stopped behind a low slope more than 30 meters away from the camp, hidden behind the low ridge, raised his head and looked in the direction of the camp for a while, frowned, got up and turned around, waved his hand and retreated along the road.
In the dense forest, Huang Hua looked at the three scouts who hurriedly retreated, his face full of doubts.
"Nobody,"
Ma Sanyan waved his hand at him gently, "I'm afraid of running away......
"Ran away?"
Huang Hua was stunned, frowned, put down the sentence "Lao Tzu go take a look", and disappeared into the night with dexterous steps.
After receiving the order from the division headquarters, Changling Shaozuo hurriedly retreated with the remnants, and once he retreated, it was five miles, and a new position was established at a dangerous pass!
At this time, the original position of the Changling Brigade had already been empty, and the raiding troops of the 66th Regiment cautiously touched it, but they pounced.
"Turtle's,"
The fire in the camp was faint, Li Siwei looked around the empty camp, a little disappointed, and a little happy, "It's okay to go!" ”
The little devil ran away, and a thrilling night attack failed, but it also allowed the brothers to avoid a lot of casualties!
The night attack lost its target, and Li Siwei had to lead his troops to withdraw to the position, and the night was calm.
On 8 May, the normally bright sky suddenly turned gloomy, and the rainy season in Myanmar was approaching.
Myanmar has a tropical monsoon climate with abundant rainfall, but more than 90% of the rainfall is concentrated from May to October, which is also known as the rainy season.
Accustomed to seeing the diligent morning sun in Myanmar, as soon as he saw the gloomy sky, Li Siwei suddenly felt a little depressed, and a trace of irritability lingered in his heart, lingering.
After inspecting the position, Li Siwei returned to the headquarters, walked straight to the map, looked at the map and pondered.
Although the frontal enemy was no longer a cause for concern, the 66th Regiment was pinned down in Jessa and was bound to become the last troops to withdraw...... By the time the order to retreat is given, Myitkyina will probably have already fallen, and where should the 66th Regiment go?
"Commander,"
Chen Huaili hurriedly walked in, with a hint of joy in his voice, "Reinforcements have arrived......"
"Reinforcements?"
Li Siwei came back to his senses, turned around, and looked at Chen Huaili with a puzzled face, "Where are the reinforcements?" ”
"From the West,"
Chen Huaili raised the telegram in his hand, "The headquarters has called, saying that a regiment has been transferred from the newly formed 38th Division, and it will arrive before sunset at the latest, so that our troops must hold their positions......
"Turtle's,"
Li Siwei smiled wryly, "What are you sending to Jesha?" ”
Saying that, Li Siwei sighed softly, "If you have extra troops, it's better to go to reinforce Myitkyina......
"What?"
Li Siwei's voice was very low, and Chen Huaili didn't hear it clearly.
"It's okay,"
Li Siwei shook his head gently, took the telegram and looked at it, "Since the reinforcements have arrived, let's arrange for the injured brothers to evacuate first!" ”
"Withdraw?"
Chen Huaili was stunned for a moment, looking hesitant, "Do you want to ask the headquarters first?" ”
Li Siwei hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked outside the headquarters, "You keep an eye here, and I'll go back to the regiment headquarters to send a report to the headquarters......"
"Don't worry!"
Chen Huaili smiled, "The dog's retreat is so far, it is clear that he is afraid of being beaten!" ”
"Beware of the Ten Thousand Year Ship!"
Li Siwei shook his head with a smile and hurried away.
Now, what he is most worried about is not the gang of little devils in front of him, but ...... The retreat of the 66th Regiment!
Evacuation of the wounded is the first step!
Chief Luo was already far away in Yingpuhar, and Li Siwei naturally couldn't get in touch, so he had to ask Chief Du for instructions.
In response to Li Siwei's request, Chief Du readily agreed, saying that when the main force passed through Jiesha, he would pick up the wounded of the 66th Regiment and go to Mansi together.
After getting the reply, Li Siwei could only sigh secretly.
Mansi is more than 30 kilometers northwest of Jessa and is also one of the important towns along the Manmi Railway, since Governor Du is going to lead his troops to withdraw to Mansi, it is obvious that he is determined to return to China from the direction of Myitkyina.
Li Siwei didn't want to retreat to Myitkyina, let alone send his injured brother to Mansi, but where could he go if he didn't go to Mansi?
The 66th Regiment was tasked with guarding Jesha, and there was no manpower to evacuate the wounded, so waiting for the headquarters to send someone to pick up the wounded became the only option.
