The 56th Division became more and more cautious after being attacked frantically for the first two days, and finally arrived at 10 kilometers from Lashio at noon on the 29th, and it was on this day that they occupied Lashio in history, and a week later occupied Bhamo and Myitkyina, cutting off the retreat of the expeditionary force.

The Japanese stopped because the 200th Division had set up a fortification in front of it and set up a defensive line, and it was blatantly set up a defensive line, and it seemed that it was planning to fight with the 56th Division.

This road is just across the road from Mengya to Lashio, the 200 division is not an ordinary army, the commander of the 56th division thinks that if you want to take Lashio, you must eliminate the 200 division, only yo eliminate the 200 division, then the 36 in Lashio is not to worry, from the northeast to Southeast Asia, in addition to the 200 division, Watanabe Masao has not looked at the other people in his eyes, in addition to the 200 is attack these days, the morale of the soldiers is very low, Watanabe Masao also needs to use the blood of the 200 division to improve morale, Therefore, he decided to gather all the forces of the 56th Division to destroy the 200th Division. Commander of the 56th Division: Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe, Chief of Staff: Takeosa Fujiwara. Commander of the 56th Infantry Regiment: Major General Shizuo Sakaguchi. Commander of the 113th Infantry Wing: Hideji Matsui; Captain of the 146th Infantry Wing: Kyohei Yamamoto; Captain of the 148th Infantry Wing: Kiroku Matsumoto; Commander of the 56th Engineer Wing: Tsuneo Ejima; Search for the 56th Wing Captain: Hirai Usuke Osa; Captain of the 56th Field Artillery Wing: Tomi Soji Daisa; Captain of the 56th Wing: Koichi Ikeda; Others: Divisional Signal Corps, Ordnance Service Corps, Sanitary Corps, Field Hospital No. 3 (No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4), Sick Horse Factory, Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, and other Japanese infantry divisions and regiments are generally divided into infantry wings, special science wings (search, artillery, engineering, and baggage), and various departments (weapons, sanitation, and field diseases).

The 56th Division is now strong and strong, with more than 20,000 people in the whole army, and the two divisions stretch for several miles, and they have checked around, and there is no Chinese ambush army, so they are also a lot more relieved.

The situation of the 200th Division's position money was quickly sent to Masao Watanabe, in front of the 200 defensive line, there were a large number of wooden stakes to delay the attacking troops, and there were also trenches of more than 2 meters, but it was obvious that there was a large amount of silt in it at a glance, and the depth was not known.

Watanabe Masao also went to see it in person, judging from the arrangement of the 200th Division, Dai Anlan is indeed not in vain, Watanabe Masao calculated that if he took the position of the 200th Division, he was afraid that he would have to lose at least one wing, Watanabe Masao felt a big headache, but he had a little joy in his heart, so as to at least prove that the 200th Division had no conspiracy and tricks, and the 56th Division was not afraid of anyone.

In addition, the powerful firepower of the 56th Division, if the 200 is determined to defend, the loss of the 200th Division will not be small, there is a wing of heavy artillery on his side, the opponent's fortifications are not reinforced concrete, and it will definitely not withstand the bombardment of 150 mm heavy artillery, not to mention that there are planes on his side to help, thinking of the latest Japanese Zero fighter, Watanabe Masao raised a smug smile on his mouth.

Masao Watanabe has a plan in his heart, taking Lashio is just a matter of time and casualties, don't you see that the Americans are beaten and don't even recognize their mothers! If it weren't for the covert support of the Americans behind it, China would have surrendered long ago.

Masao Watanabe, who had a plan in his heart, went back and asked his subordinates to bury the pot and make rice, and today he was full of food and drink, and in the afternoon he tried the combat effectiveness of the 200th Division, and officially attacked with all his strength tomorrow. However, he still sent a wing to attack Lashio, if this wing can succeed, the 200th division will be attacked by the enemy, and it may be self-defeating, and his own troops will be able to pursue it at that time.

On the afternoon of the 29th, most of the well-fed and well-fed 56th Division was resting, and only one wing launched an attack on all fronts to test the firepower configuration of 200, but they finally knew how powerful the silt trench was, and it was too difficult for the trench people to move once they fell in, and the silt inside was almost submerged, and the people were trapped, not basically, but all of them became live targets, and after killing a brigade, the Japanese gave up the attack.

Masao Watanabe didn't expect the seemingly simple setting to have such a big effect, he originally had contempt for Dai Anlan, but now he completely put away his contempt, just a few hours, he lost a brigade, and basically died, if it was like this every day, then his 56th Division would only need half a month, and he would not have to die!

After the attack was stopped, the devil was resting, recuperating, in order to fight again tomorrow, of course, Watanabe Masao was waiting for the results of the sneak attack on Lashio's troops.

This sneak attack force was the 113th Wing led by Hideji Matsui Osa, and they did not follow the large force, but made a direct detour, and then attacked at night, which was sudden. Originally, they wanted to sneak attack last night, but they were still suppressed by the name of the 200th Division, they were afraid of falling into the trap of the 200th Division, and the 200th Division's presence in Tonggu and Kunlun Pass was enough to prove how powerful this army was.

It was confirmed today that the 200th Division was on the side of the main force of the division before they dared to sneak attack, as for the 36th Division is an incomplete division, there are still many people who have not been transported, even if it is a complete one, they are not afraid of having a wing.

At 12 o'clock in the night of the 29th, Hideji Matsui believed that the squadron would definitely not find out that they would sneak attack now, and the squadron should not have guessed that they would sneak attack on the first day.

The city of Lashio does not have the same tall walls as China, and the walls of Lashio can be easily blown up by mortars.

With Matsui Hideharu's order, two wings of the 113th Wing immediately attacked from the southeast, and grenadiers, mortars, and Type 92 infantry guns began to roar. The defenders immediately panicked, but slowly held their ground.

Matsui Hideji looked at the panic of the Chinese defenders proudly, which showed that the defenders were not too prepared, and looking at the bombed fortifications, he thought that the defenders' generals could be mediocre.

After many charges, the 113th Wing probably lost more than 400 people, and drove the squadron of the fortifications outside the city into the city, and the Japanese army roared and swarmed up to occupy the fortifications outside the city of the Chinese defenders.

At this time, the Japanese army did not know that they had bought a large amount of explosives under their feet, and Lashio was a logistics base, so there was no shortage of explosives, and the officers and men of the 36th Division in the shadows detonated the officers and soldiers and other devils pressed on the trench and immediately detonated, and for a time the trench was in flames, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The location where the explosives are buried is very interesting, when the ** team is in the trenches, they are buried in front of the soldiers' knees, and they generally do not suffer from shelling, so they will not be martyred or the like, and they will not suffer losses due to the enemy's shelling of a pack of explosives.

A large number of devils have gathered in the ditch, and they are planning to use this as a position to break through the city wall, enter the city, occupy Lashio in one fell swoop, and cut off the way back to the country of the squadron.

Instant martyrdom, boom...... Rumble...... ......Boom, Matsui Hideji was dumbfounded, the strength of the two brigades, those bombs recorded that the soldiers exploded close at hand, and the ears were deaf in the distance, so close, even if they were not killed in the first place, the air wave and the thunderous sound were enough to make them faint.

Matsui Hideji's face is like ashes, although there is still a full brigade now, as long as he is not fooled, he is not afraid of the squadron in the city, but if he loses two brigades like this at once, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape death. Matsui Hideji's face turned dark, the green tendons on his forehead skyrocketed, and he pulled out his command knife and said, "Third brigade, kill." ”

The captain of the third brigade is not a pig brain, if he doesn't go up at this time and occupies the land, then when the squadron rushes up, the two brigades in front are estimated to be all dead. The Third Brigade, as a strategic reserve, will not be able to escape the blame when the time comes, and the captain of the third brigade will not die, but he will also do it, and the captain of the third brigade Yamazaki immediately commands the troops of the two squadrons to attack.

And the squadron in the city no longer saves shells at this time, and immediately starts fighting, for a time the devil was blown up on his back, and the infantry rushed up to fight with the devil for the trench, the bullets on both sides flew around intensively, and from time to time someone could be shot.

More than 2,000 people from the two regiments behind the 113th Wing, who had already moved from the city, immediately launched a general attack on the wing headquarters of the 113th Wing, and the mortar popped out and landed on Matsui Hideji's headquarters unexpectedly, and Matsui Hideji was killed on the spot.

The rest of the people under the command of the commander of the Yamazaki Brigade blocked the two regiments of the 36th Division, and the speed of the devil's projection was not unpleasant, and after a few tens of seconds, they stabilized their position, and soon fired at the officers and soldiers of the attacking 36th Division, and his artillery fire was also very accurate, causing very heavy casualties to the attacking troops.

However, the devil is even more frightened, his own wing of nearly 4,000 people, well-equipped, invincible on the Chinese battlefield, into the city of a wing to fight the first squadron, a central army and an army running around, I didn't expect that today's horse stumbled, in just a few hours, their own wing is left with such a few people, and fancy the attack of the ** team, they decided not to hold up the plane at dawn to help.

Captain Yamazaki asked his subordinates to burn the code book and the wing flag with a dead face, and prepared all the jade pieces. Until four o'clock on the 30th, the 36th Division completely wiped out nearly 4,000 people of the 113th Wing with nearly 2,000 casualties and captured more than 300 people.
