Chapter 1087: The road is one foot high
In an instant, seventy or eighty helicopter gunships appeared from the valley behind Chu Zhongtian, flying over their heads like a flock of giant birds, quickly forming two formations, flying rapidly from the left and right wings to the top of the opposite mountain, and soon disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

After a period of anxious waiting, the shelling on the opposite hill finally stopped, and the sound of explosions, fierce machine guns, and machine guns came from the other side of the mountain.
Because of the angle of view, we could not see the scene of the helicopter attack, only saw a fire on the other side of the mountain, and a report from the helicopter came from the walkie-talkie, they had found the enemy's artillery position, and they were attacking with all their might, although the enemy's air defense was good, but they were confident that they would destroy them.
"Order, the second echelon will attack on all fronts!"
Chu Zhongtian howled again.
Liu Bao and Li Bing ran away, and disappeared in an instant.
Not long after, more than 30 tanks were again driven out of the valley, all Tiger heavy tanks, as soon as they left the valley, they lined up and rumbled towards the hill, and behind them were dense officers and men of the special operations division.
At this time, on the mountain, the sound of guns and cannons also began to become intense, and the shouts of killing became loud, and even the scene of the tanks of the two sides fighting at close range could be seen.
Chief of Staff Wu Chaowen pointed to the top of the mountain and said with a smile: "The little devil is really damn sinister, using the first line of defense to set up an ambush, not only ambushing heavy artillery, heavy soldiers, but also tank troops, counting on the first round of bombardment to destroy our tanks and main forces, and their tanks and heavy troops will press up and defeat us in one fell swoop. ”
"Hey!" Chu Zhongtian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I suffered a loss in the hands of this old bastard of Imamura, and I knew that this guy was not easy to deal with, so I kept an extra eye, and sure enough, this guy is ready to Yin Lao Tzu again, and it is enough to be afraid of it, if Lao Tzu is stupid and does not pull a few places up, he will attack with all his strength, and he will fight and rush, and the special operations division is afraid that he will finish playing in the hands of Lao Tzu." ”
Wu Chaowen said: "As the so-called magic is one zhang high, the road is one zhang high, and the village is still a bad move, and when the second echelon of troops attack, it will be in vain for him to change in a thousand ways, and the destruction of the second division is just around the corner." ”
"Hahaha!"
Chu Zhongtian looked up to the sky and laughed, Wu Chaowen's sycophant was comfortable.
While the two were talking, the second-echelon attacking force had already begun to cross the hill, and thirty Tiger tanks rushed up the hill, followed by the officers and men of the special operations division.
In this era, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no unit in the world that can compete with them, not to mention that the weapons in their hands are incomparable, their individual combat ability, their tactical actions and tactical ideas are all from later generations, these are the experience that has been tempered by thousands of tempers in the era of hot weapons, and the experience summed up in the sea of corpses and blood, which is decades more advanced than this era, and it is strange that the little devils can win against them.
Imamura was very calculating, originally thinking that with heavy artillery to destroy the main force of the special operations division, the tanks and infantry would recapture the first line of defense, and drive the special operations division down the mountain, at least for a short time, so that the special operations division could no longer organize an effective attack.
Who knows that their heavy artillery did not play its due role, I am afraid that the bombing time was less than 10 minutes, and they were targeted by helicopter gunships, and even if they were not completely destroyed, the bombing momentum was immediately contained, and not only did the main force of the special operations division remain unscathed, but even the feint troops of the first echelon did not bring too many casualties.
The Tiger tanks were no match for the 4th and 5th tanks of the Island Army, and the 75-mm guns they loaded could not break the frontal armor of the Tiger tanks, but the 88-mm guns of the Tiger tanks could easily break their tortoise shells.
On the mountain, the terrain began to be flat, a horse and a flat river, just suitable for the tank gallop, dozens of Tiger tanks rampage, the dense infantry behind the charge, AK47 swept all the way out, the little devil immediately lost his armor.
As soon as the troops of the second echelon of the expeditionary force came up, the first line of defense immediately collapsed, and the little devils retreated on all fronts, intending to use the second line of defense to block the attack, but the special operations division immediately followed up, and the second line of defense of the island army did not play any role at all, and was occupied by the special operations division in a handful.
The so-called enemies are extremely red-eyed when they see each other, and the officers and men of the special operations division have completely killed each other, and one by one they are like tigers and leopards out of the forest, chasing the enemy and fleeing in all directions, and there is no formation at all; on the vast plains, there are battlefields everywhere, and there are gunshots, explosions, fights, screams, laughter, and the roar of machines.
The battlefield has been divided into countless battles, and the battle line is also several kilometers long, on this side there is a tank battle, and on the other side is a hot weapon battle using the mountainous terrain, machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, and grenades are lively.
Further on that came hand-to-hand combat, with bayonets dripping with blood.
Anyway, it's just one word - chaos.
And chaotic fighting is exactly what special warfare divisions are good at, and this kind of scene no longer requires senior commanders, and companies and platoons are fighting separately, with only one purpose, that is, to annihilate the enemy.
In less than an hour, the battlefield filled with gunpowder was already full of corpses, stumps and severed arms, millet flesh and blood, and the air carried a strong smell of blood and various mixed gases, and the scene was disgusting.
……
At the same time, the position of the town of Nanyan, fifty kilometers east of Mandalay.
The New Third Division of the Expeditionary Force and the two Burmese Army Divisions and the First Guards Division of the Island Army also began a huge offensive and defensive battle.
In the early hours of the morning, all units of the expeditionary force were already in place, the three brigades of the new third division were the main attackers, and the two Burmese divisions were the assists.
Western Front, Mingun.
Since the battle between the expeditionary force and the 16th Division of the Island Army began yesterday afternoon, it has not stopped until now, and several divisions of the Far Second Army took turns to go into battle and launched four large-scale attacks, but they were all repulsed by the Island Army.
The terrain of the western front was hilly, much more complex than that on the other side of the Inovady River, and the island army had too much mountainous terrain to take advantage of, and the entire defense line was relatively compact, which brought a lot of difficulty to the attack.
After about 8 o'clock in the morning, the island's army and air planes began to appear in the skies over the major battlefields, and the air force of the expeditionary force also appeared in the air; because of its absolute numerical inferiority, the expeditionary force's air group could only adopt guerrilla tactics and attack the island's air force with a small number of planes, and after it succeeded, it quickly retreated, and could only slightly reduce the pressure on the major battlefields, which also added a considerable threat to the attacking troops.
