The troops, who had been slightly recuperated, began to march again in the night. Through the dense woods, the road is getting better and better, there are still 40 miles of Nankang, and 1 rapid march can come to Nankang City. Jin Feng was satisfied with the speed of the troops' march.

"Herald, herald troops to rest in place." Dai Anlan ordered. "Let the reconnaissance team ahead report back on the pathfinder." After a while, the scouts came over and "reported that everything was going well in front of the division commander and general, and that the enemy had no one to scout the movement of our troops." ”

Wave your hand for the scout to continue investigating. "It seems that the puppet army wants to defend Nankang and fight a decisive battle with us. Division Commander Dai, it seems that the puppet army should have a backhand. "Yes, I knew about Myanmar before I came to Myanmar. Aung San is a man who can bend and stretch, for the independence of Burma, established the policy of United Burma to resist Japan, and soon got the full support of Japan, what is more terrifying is that this is also a mustachio-like figure, with a strong ability to agitate, it is said that the formation of the Burma Independence Army has just become an army, I didn't expect his first battle will be us. ”

"We don't care about the Burmese Independence Army or the Burmese Revolutionary Army. Neither Japan-controlled Burma nor British-controlled Burma is good news for us China, and the best news for us is that China controls Burma. ”

On the way, I began to encounter sparse villages, one by one small villages are very dilapidated, most of them are empty villages with no people, and the war is either hiding in the mountains or turning to ashes.

Occasionally, when people meet them, they see the Chinese army with hatred in their eyes. When I looked at them, I looked away again. Aung San seems to have been brainwashed and successfully washed.

Nankang City, in the east-central part of Burma, close to the Yunnan region of China, so there are both Han Chinese and Burmese in the area of Nankang, and the British colonial policy is divide and rule, so there is a great contradiction.

Nankang has already appeared in the field of vision, which is the appearance of a county town in China, very shabby. Nankang has been completely blocked, and all that appears in view are trenches, barbed wire, and dense sandbags.

"The troops rest in place, live and cook, and since the war is about to start, let the brothers have a good meal." After Dai Anlan got out of the car, he issued an order.

But it's not so easy to open fire and eat, and now there are more than 7,000 people, the strength of three regiments, each regiment is more than 2,000 people, and there is a guard regiment with more than 500 people. "The first regiment went to the front to build positions, and the second and third regiments prepared all the weapons and ammunition to build artillery positions." "Yes!"

In Nankang City, Aung San met with his soldiers, "How are the soldiers preparing, now the Chinese are already in our city." "The new independence army of Aung San has a total of 15,000 people, plus 30,000 volunteers, all of which are Japanese-style equipment, of course, equipment that has been eliminated or captured by the Japanese, and there are very few heavy weapons, but it should not be underestimated that they have a fanatical consciousness.

"General, the equipment of the Chinese on the other side is similar to ours, slightly better than us, but we are numerous, have deep support for the general and fanaticism for the liberation of the motherland, we will have our physical body to stop the Chinese and leave them on our Burmese soil." The answer to Aung San was U Bo Gang, the commander of Aung San's most elite brigade, a fanatical advocate of national independence.

Aung San nodded: "This is the first battle of the independent army we have formed, and we must play the spirit of our independent army." Perhaps we are inferior to the Chinese on the opposite side of the frontal battle, but it is impossible to occupy Nankang City, so that Nankang City will become a quagmire to destroy the opposing army, and the independent army will win. ”

"Wansheng" "Wansheng" "Wansheng" "Wansheng" "Wansheng"

"Although there are many people in Burma, the Japanese will not raise a strong opponent for themselves, especially since this opponent still has a strong sense of independence. We prepared for 30 minutes of artillery fire, and then the artillery fire began to extend and fight for the first battle. What does General Dai think? ”

"I have confidence in my brothers, I believe that the resistance of the Burmese puppet army will not be very strong, after all, the Japanese are not in the formation, there is no daily plunder, and the combat effectiveness of the Burmese puppet army should be average."

The strategy of the operation was agreed, and the troops began to rest. The entire battlefield fell silent in an instant, all recuperating for tomorrow's battle.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Dai Anlan issued a combat order, "Everyone prepares, the first regiment enters the position, the second regiment attacks and pulls on the side, and the third regiment serves as a reserve." Artillery artillery fire is ready, and in an hour I am going to artillery destroy all the frontal positions on the opposite side. ”

"Artillery fire prepares, fight!" Boom, one after another shells made a screaming sound and flew towards the position of the Burmese puppet army on the opposite side, and the sound of bang-bang explosions sounded, rolling up the dust in the sky, and the target hit instantly turned into nothing.

Screams rang out from the position: "Don't show your head, watch out for the shells on the opposite side." "A puppet soldier, whose legs were blown off, screamed on the ground, and was shot by the officer without hesitation, and the wounded soldiers affected their morale too much.

"Don't show your head if you it, if you are blown up, you will die." The frightened soldier lay tightly in the position, his body pressed against the ground. Before the words fell, the second round of shells fell again, followed by the third and fourth rounds, and the puppet army who couldn't stand it rushed out of the trenches, but they were killed by the shells in an instant.

After 30 minutes of artillery fire, the extension of fire began, which was a bit embarrassing at this time, there were too few heavy artillery, and mortars at close distances could be firepowered, but they could not be hit at long distances, wasting ammunition, so the intensity of fire dropped a lot, and of course there was a reason that the number of shells was not very much. At most, it will run out in 30 minutes.

"The artillery on the opposite side is quiet, hurry up, hurry up, the Chinese are going to attack, hurry up and enter the position." The puppet army began to show its head on the position, and the 30-minute artillery fire destroyed most of the fortifications on the position, but the puppet army in the trench died relatively little, allowing the puppet army to resist.

"The puppet army on the other side showed their heads, opened fire, and gave me a hard beating. A regiment was ready to attack. Second regiment fire cover. The clatter of machine guns rang out incessantly, splashing a cloud of sand on the position.

The sniper kept naming the puppet officers and machine gunners who showed their heads opposite. The mass slowly began to move forward, and the soldiers were constantly being hit, and the medic began to get busy. Under the cover of strong firepower, a regiment began to slowly encroach on the positions of the puppet army, and soon occupied more than half of the positions.

However, the reinforcements of the puppet army were very fast, and the number of reinforcements at the same time was very large, and under the tactics of the sea of people, they paid huge casualties and grabbed the position back. "Go and inform the artillery to continue the bombardment, the reinforcements of the puppet army have arrived again."

The artillery shell whistled again and smashed into the position of the puppet army and exploded, under the cover of artillery fire, the second regiment launched a second charge, the puppet army's reaction was very fast, one person could not beat two people, two people could not beat three on five, the advantage of numbers was played to the fullest, and the casualties were not considered at all.

Soon the battle losses of the first regiment reached more than 500 people, and as a last resort, they withdrew from the battle, and the artillery was once again powerful at this time. So the 2nd Regiment began to take over the task of attacking the fortification, and what seemed to be an easy breakthrough battle slowly turned into a battlefield of grinding meat.
