Chapter 671: Ambush

At about 7 o'clock in the morning, the planes of the national army circled over the entire northern part of Burma from time to time, the P-40 with a fierce shark pattern painted on the head part, and the wild horse with a hideous wolf head painted on the head part, the former was the Flying Tigers, and the latter was of course the 40th Group Army Flying Group, they were responsible for air patrol and reconnaissance at this time, and the enemy's troop movements would be transmitted to Jiang Haoran's headquarters at any time through walkie-talkies.

At 7:30 a.m., in a certain valley behind Meng Gongda, a snow-white parachute was landing leisurely, and hundreds of wolf warrior transport planes bypassed the sky above the enemy's defense area, and unknowingly landed 3,000 soldiers here.

And the Snow Wolf special combat detachment, which had arrived last night, had cleared all obstacles after a night of searching and investigation, and the low-lying valley terrain, coupled with the cover of the jungle, could ensure that the airborne troops would not be discovered by anyone.

At eight o'clock sharp, the position of the 1st Brigade of the Huitong Bridge Special Operations Division.

Li Bing, the commander of the First Brigade, put down the binoculars in his hand, looked ahead, and said in a cruel voice: "Order, the artillery regiment will start the artillery attack, and it will take half an hour." ”

After a while, the shells with a screaming sound flew to the other side of the Huitong Bridge, and bright sparks bloomed in the enemy's fortifications.

Li Bing also showed a smug smile on his face, but Guo Wenfu, the chief of staff on the side, reminded: "Brigade seat, go down, as soon as we open fire, the enemy will immediately counterattack, this place is still within the range of the enemy's artillery, it is not safe." ”

Li Bing glanced at Guo Wenfu, but did not respond to his question directly, and asked, "Chief of Staff, how is the commando team prepared?" ”

"It's all ready, just wait for the artillery to stop, they will charge, but the brigade seat, let these stragglers who withdrew from the 66th Army, put on our clothes and carry our equipment on their backs to form a death squad to charge, I always feel a little unbearable in my heart, this is simply using them as cannon fodder?"

"What, are you still going to let our brothers be cannon fodder? What the general seat wants is a feint, and he wants to play the momentum of a fierce attack, what can I do, didn't I give them a company to mix? ”

Although Li Bing said it toughly, he could also hear that he was also a little unbearable in his heart, this kind of bridge robbery battle, I don't know how many soldiers to fill in, and repeatedly attack in a day, it is estimated that the remnants of the 66th Army of 3,000 will be almost exhausted. But there is no way, as soldiers, this is their duty, their combat effectiveness is low, and compared with the special operations division, it is not a star and a half, and at this time they can only sacrifice them to save the special operations division.

In fact, they had a better choice, there were more than 70 Cobra helicopter gunships at the base, as long as they swung to the opposite bank, machine guns, machine guns, and rocket artillery swept wildly, and the bridge-grabbing troops immediately followed, and the enemy's defense line could collapse in an instant, but last night Jiang Haoran ordered that these more than 70 helicopters were transferred to the Burma battlefield overnight, and Wu Huawen's fortifications could not meet the requirements, causing Jiang Haoran's huge ambition to be unrealizable, so he had to transfer these dozens of armed helicopters over to make up for this shortcoming.

At the same time as the special operations division issued the first shot, the attack of the 38th division of Myitkyina had also begun, and twenty-four 150 howitzers were fired in unison, bringing extraordinary shocking effects, and the entire Myitkyina was suddenly shrouded in a rumbling cannon sound, and clusters of mushroom clouds continued to rise, filling the sky over Myitkyina with gunsmoke.

After losing air supremacy, the Japanese army had no choice but to return fire with artillery fire from the long-range attack of 150. However, the national army is equipped with a German-made sFH18 caliber of 150 mm, launching 43.5 kg of high-explosive grenades, with an effective range of 13,250 meters and a killing radius of up to 50 meters.

On the other hand, the artillery fire of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, the division level is generally only equipped with a mountain artillery battalion and a field artillery battalion, except for the strategic heavy artillery brigade, the Japanese army will be equipped with heavy artillery such as 150 mm. However, whether it was mountain artillery or field artillery, the firing range was only a few thousand meters, and the killing area was reduced by half, and the 38th Division was more than enough to fight them, but the Japanese army was far from reaching the artillery positions of the national army. However, their artillery attack still caused a lot of trouble for the advancing national army.

According to the plan, the 38th Division was responsible for the attack south of Myitkyina, cutting off the retreat of the Japanese 16th Division to the south to Meng Gong, and the main attack, the front of the west was handed over to Liu Bolong's 28th Division, and the north was handed over to Ma Weiji's 29th Division, because the east was separated by the Inovady River, in fact, the Nationalist army had formed an encirclement and attack on the Japanese army.

At the beginning of the battle, the new 38th Division, with the 122nd Regiment as the vanguard, braved the enemy's artillery fire and penetrated directly into the Inouwady River, and then attacked and advanced along the riverside, and beside him were the 123rd Regiment, the 124th Regiment, the 125th Regiment, the 126th Regiment, and the 127th Regiment, and the six regiments marched in unison to attack and advance to the south of Myitkyina.

Nearly 2,000 athletes of the 122nd Regiment who took on the task of sharp knives, under the leadership of the regiment commander Tang Chuyi, attacked the south of Myitkyina with the momentum of a tiger and wolf, and soon, the outline of Myitkyina City was in front of the soldiers, but Tang Chuyi suddenly ordered the troops to stop advancing.

Myitkyina does not have a deep outline, but is connected by a vast rice field, with plantain forests and forests in between, like yellow, orange and orange islands.

Because Myanmar's temperament is suitable, rice can be planted for three seasons, and now it has reached the ripe season, if it were not for this war, it is estimated that the rice fields are indispensable to harvest the common people, but at this moment, the rice fields are empty, and the two jungle islands are sandwiched by the strange existence of the road to Myitkyina, which immediately aroused the vigilance of Tang Chuyi.

Soon, the soldiers of a company searched along both sides of the road, what Tang Chuyi was worried about did not happen, the search company passed through the dangerous area safely, and carried out an expanded range of searches of the jungle on both sides, but nothing was found, and the large army continued to assault forward.

But at the moment when the large army entered the valley between the two mountains, the shouts of killing in the woods suddenly shook the sky, and then grenades, machine guns, rifles, and crazy roars began, and the soldiers of the national army were suddenly cut into pieces.

"Quick, the first battalion will defend, and the second and third battalions will seize the eastern woods!" Tang Chuyi roared, retreat was impossible at this time, and the open land of several miles would make the troops a live target for the Japanese army, and they had to choose a direction to attack decisively.

After a short period of panic, the national army quickly found favorable terrain to fight back, and the two battalions rushed desperately into the woods to the east, but fortunately, the new 38th Division received a large amount of British equipment after the battle of Tonggu, and there were a lot of Stim submachine guns and Bren light machine guns in their hands.
