readx;?“ General, general, are you alright? When Adjutant Lola saw the enemy plane leave, he suddenly remembered Major General Mack Jr., and immediately ran towards him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In order to avoid the fire of the powerful airborne machine gun, Mike Jr. crashed directly into the door of a pigsty used by the Burmese to raise pigs in the yard.
Although he broke through the door of the pigsty and escaped the catastrophe, he was bleeding from the blow to his head, and he was also stained with pig feces and pig urine, and when Adjutant Lola rushed to him, he was clutching his bloody head, lying in the pigsty wailing in pain.
Adjutant Lola hurriedly helped him up, turned his head and shouted at the top of his voice: "Medic, medic, quick, come here, the general is injured." ”
 Island > Novel; Two paramedics braved the dense gunfire and artillery fire to rush to bandage Little Mike and stop the bleeding.
Adjutant Lola asked nervously, "General, what should we do now?" ”
"How's the airport and train station going?" Little Mike asked in pain.
Adjutant Lola ran into the command headquarters, and soon ran out again, and said with a panicked face: "General, the airport is not in contact with the railway station and the air defense battalion, and it is likely that the place has been captured by the Chinese army." ”
Xiao Mike's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but scold the air defense battalion and the 1st battalion and other troops for a group of rice buckets.
This is, a colonel-officer running in from the outside, his face black and gray, his expression panicked, obviously braving artillery fire.
Seeing that Xiao Mike was sitting on the ground with a thick gauze wrapped around his head, he hurriedly walked over and asked, "General, you, are you injured?" ”
"I'm fine, how's it going?" Little Mike waved his hand and asked hurriedly.
The colonel's officer, who was one of his regimental commanders, hurriedly replied: "The situation is very unoptimistic, the airport has been lost, the railway station cannot withstand it, and the air defense battalion has been bombed and attacked by the Chinese Air Force, and the whole army has been wiped out."
The first battalion was also lost, and the second battalion also suffered heavy losses. The firepower of the Chinese army is too fierce, this is an elite force, and we are afraid that we will not be able to hold out for long. ”
"Bastards, reinforcements, when will our reinforcements arrive?" Little Mike thought that reinforcements from all over the surrounding area were coming, and hurriedly asked.
Adjutant Lola whispered on the side: "General, you don't know what the reinforcements from all over the country are, it's night, they must have stopped advancing and camped on the spot to rest." ”
"Bastard. Immediately send a telegram to the reinforcements, informing them that Lashio was in danger of being attacked by the Chinese army at night, and ordered them to come to reinforcements within three hours!
In addition, send another telegram to General MacArthur to inform him of the situation in Lashio, and he will send another telegram to urge reinforcements from all walks of life, and he will not dare to slack off. Little Mike hurriedly commanded.
"Yes, General." Adjutant Lola quickly turned around and ran into the telecommunications room.
Now. After a series of swooping and strafing back and forth, the air force fighters led by Zhang Xinghua have already inflicted great casualties on the US military, especially psychological deterrence, causing even more confusion among the US troops.
The U.S. troops, who had suffered heavy losses in a sudden attack, were panicked. Where can withstand the onslaught of more than a thousand elite Chinese tiger and wolf divisions.
As a result, the ground troops took advantage of the situation to break through the city defenses of the American army, entered the city, and launched a fierce street battle with the American army.
Ground troops stormed the city. The Air Force has not been able to provide much effective support.
Zhang Xinghua reluctantly led his subordinates back.
The battle on the ground was far from over, and Major General Mack Jr. was much more courageous and resourceful than the garrison commander in Myitkyina.
The point is that he is already a major general. By daytime it had been learned that Myitkyina had been lost, and MacArthur had ordered him not to lose Lashio.
So, he understands the importance here.
If Lashio was really lost in his hands, putting nearly 100,000 American troops on the front line in danger, it would be more than just dismissal.
Perhaps in order to appease the anger of the American people, MacArthur and the president will sentence him to death in order to appease the people and deter the generals of the army.
Therefore, despite the fact that his head was already bleeding, Mike Jr. ordered the colonel to immediately lead his troops to launch a counterattack against the attacking Chinese army.
Stand by for help.
As a result, the 3rd Airborne Regiment, which had just entered the city and was taking advantage of the situation to storm and intend to capture Lashio in one fell swoop, was violently counterattacked by the American army.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle for attack and defense in three streets and dozens of buildings in the northern part of the city.
Inside these dozens of buildings, there was a dense burst of gunfire and heavy explosions.
The Burmese natives inside the building have long been wiped out by the relentless rain of bullets, and some of the courtyards have almost become piles of ruins.
Several Chinese paratroopers armed with MP38 submachine guns were covering each other and storming a ruin, where several American GIs with light machine guns and several Chicago typewriters blocked their offensive route.
Several elite paratroopers hid behind the rubble, suppressed by the Yankees, and they could even hear the smug laughter of the American machine gunners to the roar of the machine guns.
As if to laugh at them.
A senior soldier plucked a grenade from his body and threw it at the ruined building where the Yankees were entrenched, his arm strength was astonishing.
The grenade was thrown directly by him at the US machine-gun fire point nearly fifty or sixty meters away.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, a dazzling fire burst out, and several Chinese paratroopers immediately turned over and rose up, and several submachine guns in their hands fired at the firing point where the US troops were hiding in a precise short shot.
The American GIs, who were hit by the dense bullets, suddenly screamed and fell, and three or four fell.
The remaining two barely pulled the trigger, and under the tension, the submachine gun lost its accuracy.
And another volley of Chinese paratroopers, and two grenades were thrown by those elite paratroopers.
The two remaining American GIs were hit by a few bullets, and the debris and shrapnel from the blast wave of the raging explosion dealt them a fatal blow.
At this time, the US machine gunner, who had been injured by the explosion just now, stood up again with the machine gun in both hands, and pulled the trigger on the Chinese paratroopers who were rushing forward.
......In the silent night sky, the Browning heavy machine gun of the US army roared again, and hot tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle.
A Chinese paratrooper was caught off guard and collapsed in a pool of blood.
When the other people saw the sacrifice of their comrades, they immediately roared in amazement, and they raised their submachine guns one after another to shoot fiercely at the fire point of the US heavy machine gun.
A bullet flew directly through the hole and into the forehead of the American machine gunner, and the roar of the Browning heavy machine gun came to an abrupt end.
He fell straight back, his big eyes wide open like cow's eggs, and he didn't bat at a glance.
A squad leader who led the team ran over and picked up his comrade-in-arms who was still dying, and several other soldiers quickly seized the favorable ruins, but their eyes all looked back at their dying comrades from time to time.
His eyes were full of reluctance and anger.
"Zhao Ming, if you hold on, you'll be fine." The squad leader said loudly with tears in his eyes.
"Squad leader... I, I can't do it this time, it's a pity that I can't fight with my brothers anymore, after this battle, if the big guys can be alive, when you drink the celebration wine, don't forget to leave a copy for my brothers. As he spoke, another piece of blood poured out of the paratrooper's mouth, and he was already dying.
The veteran squad leader nodded sadly, but tears couldn't stop flowing from his eyes.
The paratrooper convulsed a few times and died of exhaustion.
The veteran squad leader covered his eyes for him, carried his body aside, and with full of anger, he continued to attack forward with the remaining comrades and the soldiers who had come from behind.
"Da-da-da... Da ......" Dense gunfire soon rang out again not far ahead.
The bloody battle between the two sides began again.
Although the US military had just started the war, the Chinese army had killed one and a half infantry battalions and an air defense battalion by the ground-air forces.
However, there are still three and a half infantry battalions in terms of strength, and because they are reinforced regiments, these three and a half infantry battalions plus some logistics personnel in the city still have a total strength of nearly 2,000 US troops.
In terms of troops, they were not at a disadvantage, and they defended the city, and the repeated bloody battles with the 3rd Airborne Regiment house by house, although they paid a heavy price for casualties, but also effectively contained the offensive edge of the Chinese army.
