Chapter 219: The Pew River
Chapter 219: The Pew River
March in Myanmar is also hot for the people of Guizhou, so Zhang Ziwen got up early.
The soldiers at the Pew River position should have risen early, not because they did not want to sleep, but because there were reports of British troops in the early hours of this morning.
In order to prevent the British from storming the position, the Pew River vanguard withdrew directly from the Pew River bridge.
"Deputy regiment, look at these British troops, they are almost the same as when they fought in Songhu."
In the Songhu War, he was just a small soldier, and his regimental deputy was just a platoon commander.
"Tell the brethren not to start a conflict with these Brits, as long as the Japanese army reaches the bridge over the Pew River, whether there are Brits or not, they will up."
"Deputy regiment, do you really want to blow it up?"
took a slap in the face, and then went to do things in peace.
As the sun rose, two grenade explosions were heard in the distance.
"The devil is coming, all pay attention. The demolition team checked for the last time, the machine gun company was loaded, and the artillery company ran away. ”
The British ran very fast, and before the Japanese could appear, they had all run out of the Pew River.
The Japanese army, probably a brigade of victors, drove straight in unsuspectingly.
"Deputy Tuan, these devils are afraid of fools, right?"
The two looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Detonation~"
With a loud bang, the two-hundred-meter-long bridge over the Pew River collapsed, and all the Japanese soldiers on the bridge were swallowed up by drinking water.
"Hit~"
Light and heavy machine guns clicked, and the shells smashed directly on the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and for a time the Japanese soldiers were beaten without the power to fight back.
Wang Ruokun is a platoon commander, because he didn't sleep on duty last night, he found a forest to sleep in today, and immediately got up when he heard the gunshots.
Holding a gun and preparing to run to the combat position, I didn't expect to hear someone crossing the forest just two steps later.
Twenty rings in his hand pounced out directly, two shots to kill a devil lieutenant, heard the movement in front of him approaching, he immediately squatted down, a devil just revealed he poured out the remaining twenty rounds of more than ten bullets.
It's a shame, the two ensigns, and they are all wet, they should have gone to the river, but the river god confiscated it, but let himself choose a bargain.
There was also a briefcase, and Wang Ruokun's position did not go, so he immediately ran to the headquarters.
The Pew River Command immediately sent people to Tonggu after receiving something, and Dai Anlan received this document before the battle was over.
"Hurry up and find me someone who understands the words of the devil, didn't there be two last time, hurry up."
Zheng Tingjian hurriedly ran out to find it, while Dai Anlan walked uneasily, this is true of information, but this information may also be bad news.
"You go and call Driver Zhang over to me and say there is an emergency."
The guards also forgot to salute, ran away, and worked as a guard for Dai Anlan for a year, and they had never seen him in such a hurry.
The guards were stopped at the gate of Zhang Ziwen's headquarters, so they had to ask their colleagues to speak: "Commander, Division Commander Dai said that there is an urgent matter to find you, please go over immediately."
Zhang Ziwen had just received a telegram from Tang Song, saying that he had found traces of the Japanese more than 20 miles south of the Bago Mountains, and Zhang Zhang called to tell Zhang Ziwen that the Battle of the Pihe River had begun.
The Japanese broke through very quickly, as if they did not need to think about the resistance ahead, and advanced to the Pew River in a few hours.
Now that Dai Anlan called himself over, it should be a matter of the Pew River, Zhang Ziwen put down his pen and got into the car and rushed to the same ancient city.
Dai Anlan didn't care about Zhang Ziwen's salute, and pulled Zhang Ziwen directly to the map.
"Brother, you see, we are facing the Japanese 15th Army and the 55th Division, and on the other side of the Bago Mountains is the 32nd Division, and they are attacking Prome along the west of the Bago Mountains. The 55th Division of the Japanese Army was a mountain division with a fast movement, and its artillery was dominated by mountain artillery and field artillery, and there were no tanks. They had already assembled in Bagu on the 10th, and now they were rushing north along the Yangman Road, where the British 1st Division had just retreated from Tonggu. The attack on the Pew River was carried out by the 112th Wing of the 55th Division, and it was estimated that this meeting should be repulsed. ”
The reason why Dai Anlan was sure of the victory in the battle of the Pew River was because the Japanese army was too light on the enemy to even explore the way, and it would be intolerable for his 200 divisions to lose in the face of such an army.
Zhang Ziwen was a little puzzled, the Japanese army has four divisions in one army, which is the establishment of the Japanese army, but now there are only two divisions and regiments, which is completely unreasonable.
"Brother is worried about the 18th and 56th Divisions of the Japanese Army?"
Zhang Ziwen nodded heavily, if the Japanese army hid its troops and secretly detoured, the two divisions would be fifty or sixty thousand people.
"I also have the same worries, but now we can only cover up the water and earth with troops, and we can't take care of so much, if we can successfully block the 55th Division in the front, it is already very rare."
At this moment, the radio in the corner of Dai Anlan's headquarters suddenly rang rapidly, and there was a message.
Dai Anlan and the two moved immediately, it took time to translate the message, and the two could only wait anxiously.
Although this battle is only a small battle, he affects the overall situation, if he loses, it proves that the expeditionary force and the British are the same thing, not to mention Du Luming, even Lao Jiang is not good to see Stilwell's straw bag.
Because he told Stilwell that these troops were the elite divisions of the national army.
It can be said that even if it is not the Pew River, as long as it is the first battle of the expeditionary force, it is extremely important for the British army, the United States and the expeditionary force.
The British were in a difficult situation, they hoped that the expeditionary force would fail, so that they would have face. They also hoped that the expeditionary force would be victorious, so that they could hold the land of Burma, read .net
The Americans don't care, no matter if they win or lose, if they win, they will say that they are fortunate to have their guidance, and if they lose, they will take off directly back to Indonesia, or even fly directly to Australia.
For the expeditionary force, there was only one way to win, because now China could no longer afford to lose, so the Pew River was victorious.
"After three hours of fighting, almost all the invading enemy was annihilated, and nineteen motorcycles were captured."
Dai Anlan slapped Zhang Ziwen on the shoulder, Zhang Ziwen trembled in pain, but also raised the corners of his mouth.
"Immediately send me a telegram to the military seat, the military seat, the secret, and my troops have completely annihilated the invading enemy at the Pew River, and captured nineteen motorcycles. It has now been ascertained that the enemy opposite our army is the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, and the forward unit is the 112th Wing. Another Japanese 32nd Division attacked Prome. Seagull, 19th, Deuteronomy. ”
Zhang Ziwen can still see Dai Anlan's caution from Dai Anlan's telegram, such a cautious person can treat himself as an old brother, and he is already content.
People, you can't be too greedy, it's easy to attract annoyance if you're greedy.
