Not long after Wang Changhe's troops began to retreat, heavy rain began to fall, and according to normal times, Wang Changhe wanted to let the soldiers rest, after all, the soldiers fought for a night last night, and they should also rest and rest.

But now it's raining, the ground is wet, and now this side is very close to the devil, once bitten by the devil, the troops can't escape at all, so Wang Changhe can only order the troops to retreat, and on the way to retreat, the soldiers of the logistics department have already soaked the noodles, and the soldiers on the march are holding the soaked noodles, eating while walking, and after eating, to the front, there is a special place to collect bowls.

"Eat something, I'm hungry, but fortunately I have instant noodles now, so I don't have to delay too much!" Wang Changhe walked to the place where the instant noodles were put and brought a bowl, and the instant noodles had already been put in 2 quick tofu and some pickles.

Wang Changhe picked up the chopsticks and began to eat while walking, although it rained, the rain would fall into the bowl, but the soldiers didn't care anymore, as long as they could eat enough, not to mention that it was hot.

The soldiers all took a bite, chewed, then walked, swallowed, and then used chopsticks to hold a chopstick and continue to eat.

"That's a good thing, I heard that the commander made it." When Xu Zhuozhuo was eating in the back, he spoke.

"Well, it was Brother Bin who made it. This thing is so convenient, it's good to store and transport, as long as there are pickles, you can fill your stomach, and 2 pieces of noodles for one warrior are enough! Wang Changhe nodded and said.

"However, when we get to noon, we still have to let the soldiers rest, if we don't rest, we can't carry it!" Xu Zhuozhuo spoke.

"Yes, that's definitely going to happen!" Wang Changhe nodded.

At the headquarters, Hu Bin learned that the troops had retreated safely, and it was raining heavily. I was relieved, knowing that there would be no accidents in this battle, and the troops who received them were ready, and as long as they arrived in Banmao, they would basically be safe.

Yamashita was not so easy, they had just arrived at the place where the tank had been ambushed last night. There were a lot of car racks and destroyed tanks on the road, and most of the tanks were destroyed on the road.

Yamashita Fengwen jumped off the car in surprise, and at this time, many sappers were already pushing the vehicle to the side of the road, to ensure that the convoy behind could pass smoothly.

"Damn, it was hit by an armor-piercing shell, and the Chinese troops have armor-piercing shells!" Yamashita inspected the tanks and found that there was a hole in the side of the tank, and at a glance he knew that he had been hit by an armor-piercing bullet.

"Even with armor-piercing shells, it would be impossible to hit our tank so quickly. You see, most of the tanks were destroyed on the road, that is, our tanks did not react at all and were hit! The chief of staff looked at Yamashita and said.

"Yo Xi, there are very accurate anti-tank weapons on the Chinese side, it must be like this, no wonder our troops cannot be contacted. Because they attacked too fast, Hu Bin's troops. Sure enough, it can't be underestimated! Yamashita nodded and said.

"Hey!" The chief of staff nodded.

"Report, we found the infantry wing commander of the armored brigade and is now rushing over here." A staff officer came over and reported.

"Bring it here!" When Yamashita heard this, he immediately shouted, he wanted to know what had happened last night and why an armored brigade had been defeated by Hu Bin's troops so quickly.

"Hey!" The staff officer immediately went to inform him. More than ten minutes later, the infantry wing commander came.

"Report to the Commander!" When the co-captain arrived, he stood up in front of Yamashita Fengwen and said.

"What's going on, why was our tank unit destroyed so quickly, what the hell is going on, you tell me!" Yamashita looked at him and asked.

"Last night when we were marching. On our side, that is, on the right, a lot of Chinese troops suddenly appeared, and at first we didn't know what was going on, but we saw that the tanks in front of us were all exploding, and then our car was also hit, and there was an explosion, and many of our soldiers who were still relying on cars for cover suffered heavy casualties.

After being attacked, our troops immediately counterattacked the hill, but it was useless, the enemy's fire was very strong, all machine guns, our fighters were beaten and did not even have a chance to shoot, and our tank troops, at this time, there was not much left.

I hid in the ditch and found that many of the Chinese troops were carrying a gun barrel and shooting at our tanks, the speed of fire was very fast, and the fire was also very powerful, in less than half an hour, our brigade suffered very heavy casualties, all the tanks were destroyed, and there were not many infantry.

I had no choice but to retreat behind with the rest of the troops, hiding in the woods opposite, and finally retreating to less than 300 people! The wing commander began to report to Yamashita Fengfumi.

"You say they use something like a gun barrel to shoot at our tanks, and it's fast, right, and their firepower is very strong?" Yamashita asked, looking at the wing captain.

"Hey!" The co-captain nodded.

"What kind of weapon is it?" Yamashita Fengwen thought about it at this time.

"I don't know what kind of weapon it is, but I found that this kind of weapon, 2 people can operate it, and the accuracy is very high, you look at the tanks over there, they originally wanted to distance themselves, but it didn't work, they were still destroyed, from the main road to this side, less than 100 meters away, they were all destroyed.

This time the ambush of our troops did not give us any chance at all, to deal with our tanks as quickly as possible, and our infantry was still on the road, there was no way to fight the Chinese troops at all, the firepower was too strong.

I estimate that they are equipped with similar weapons to Wei Lihuang's troops, we have captured them on the battlefield, they can shoot at a point, and they can also shoot continuously, and the troops who came to ambush us this time are all equipped with this kind of weapons. The co-captain nodded and said to Yamashita Fengwen.

And Yamashita Fengwen followed the position he pointed to and saw several tanks on the way back, which were destroyed and parked in the grass.

"Yo Xi, this weapon was invented by China, we have known about it for a long time! Alright, you go down first. Yamashita nodded and said to the wing leader.

He didn't mean to deal with that wing commander, they had done their best, and anyone in command would have the same effect!

"Commander, in this way, we really can't win against China now, otherwise, the base camp will not go to negotiate with China." When the chief of staff heard this, he looked at Yamashita Fengfu very dejectedly and said.

"Fighting is a win, but the price paid is huge, for our empire, it's not cost-effective, hey!" Yamashita Fengwen heard it and said with a sigh.

"Let's go, move on, when we get to Mandalay, I'm going to Yangon, Your Excellency the Commander will definitely not let me go, and I will take full responsibility for this failure." Yamashita nodded and said.

After a while, their troops arrived at Xib, at this time there was no shadow of the Chinese troops here, and there were still many places in the whole Xib, although it was raining heavily, but the fire was still not extinguished so quickly!

Yamashita ordered his troops to clean up the place, clean up the corpses of the soldiers, and bury them, while the main army continued to march towards Mandalay.

When he was on the road, Baiwu Haruyoshi rushed over and reported to Yamashita Fengwen the specific situation of last night's battle, Yamashita Fengwen did not dare to despise Hu Bin's troops at this time, and he didn't have the heart to chase Hu Bin's troops, it was useless to catch up, if he was ambushed by Hu Bin's troops, the casualties would be even greater.

Moreover, Okamura Ninji also gave him an order that the troops should return to Mandalay quickly and not continue to fight.

At this time, the heavy rain was still falling, but Yamashita Fengwen did not dare to order the soldiers to rest, because he did not know if Hu Bin's troops would appear again, or whether they should arrive at Xibu immediately.

However, at this time in Chongqing, Commander Chiang and those senior cadres were still negotiating with the United States, Britain and Japan, and the United States put forward new conditions, willing to pay China's 200 million meters of free aid in advance, and was also willing to provide 300 million meters of interest-free loans, in addition, agreed to export equipment to China, especially equipment for the military industry, and Deputy Commander Zhou, as a representative of Yan'an, was also invited to participate in this negotiation.

"Report, Commander Wei's telegram!" At this time, when Commander-in-Chief Chiang was negotiating with the representatives of the United States and Britain, an adjutant entered the conference room with a telegram and said in Commander-in-Chief Chiang's ear.

Commander Chiang took the telegram and read it carefully.

"Okay, good fight!" When Commander Chiang saw the telegram, he laughed.

Wright and Stilwell, as well as the Chinese cadres, were looking at him.

"General Stilwell, General Wright, I just received a telegram from our expeditionary force, just last night, our Chinese expeditionary force annihilated the 18th division of the devil in Xibu, and more than 20,000 wounded soldiers, and at the same time, annihilated the armored brigade of the 25th army of the devil, in addition, the 5th division of the 25th army is now also surrounded by our Chinese troops.

Since last night, more than 17,000 enemies have been annihilated, and the remaining devils are estimated to be able to resolve the battle before noon today, but now the heavy rain in Southeast Asia is so heavy that the Japanese bombers will not be able to pass at all, and the total annihilation of the Fifth Division is already a sure thing.

In other words, before we reached an agreement with you, our Chinese troops gave you a great gift, and our Chinese troops were completely able to contain the Japanese troops, there is no doubt about this! Commander Jiang looked at Wright and Stilwell and said very happily and proudly. (To be continued.) )
