Chapter 224 The soldiers are coming to the city
Dialogue, negotiation, of course, these are all possible, but now Wu Nu is no longer qualified to make an offer!
"Fire!"
On the north bank of the Irrawaddy River, 36 M40 self-propelled guns lined up, and the long barrels of 155-millimeter cannons pointed obliquely at the sky.
Almost at the same time as the pillar of smoke rose, a second roar rang out.
"Mah, Lao Tzu has finally hit Mandalay."
Not far from the artillery position, next to an infantry fighting vehicle, Lao Yang looked at the city that was being destroyed by artillery fire on the opposite side of the wide river in the distance with emotion.
"Lao Yang, where did you fight before?"
Liu Ziming, who was turning over a steel bar that he didn't know where to get, roasted a little piglet on the fire, asked curiously, these airborne troops have not received the order to withdraw Assam, so they have to continue to follow the action of the Minhua Army, this period of time from the south to the north, until the soldiers come to Mandalay.
"Last time, I followed Commander Liao, fighting from the east bank to the south, until I hit a place called Xibao, and then the Britons followed to make trouble, and deliberately let the Japanese people sneak attack us, and the above did not let go forward, I didn't expect that there would be another day to fight!"
Lao Yang said.
"Enemy planes!"
He was sighing when suddenly the terrible air raid sirens sounded, and with a chaotic scream, the armies scattered around the artillery positions were all in disarray.
Because the Burmese fighters have not dared to make any more sorties, the Chinese army has almost forgotten that the enemy still has planes. But fortunately, they also have no shortage of anti-aircraft weapons. On the air defense position, a pair of three-seven-millimeter anti-aircraft guns pointed diagonally at the sky. On those tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, large-caliber machine guns were also on standby, and even the infantry had a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun.
Lao Yang and Liu Ziming quickly led their brothers into a dense grass, and the latter did not forget to hold his half-cooked little piglet, while sharpening the outer layer of cooked meat with a dagger, while vigilantly watching the sky through the grass, and soon more than 30 enemy planes, including eight vampires, appeared in the sky.
But not yet closer. The anti-aircraft artillery on the ground spewed flames, and the tracer shells instantly pulled out a line of fire in the sky, and then exploded a striking smoke ball near the enemy plane, although the power of this caliber of close-up shells was weak, but it still had an obvious effect on the planes of the level of Spitfire and Vampires, and soon there were two Spitfires and one Vampire emitting smoke, one of which was hit by a series of shells at close range, and instantly exploded in the air with bright flames, turning into countless fragments and falling one after another.
But in order to protect Mandalay, the Honsavady Air Force had no choice. The remaining planes were still approaching at high speed, and soon came within range of anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground. The first to fire was a quadruple 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and the quadruple salvo was woven into a terrifying fire net at low altitude, and a swooping down Spitfire was exploded in the sky almost instantly, and then even the 12.7 mm machine gun joined in the fire, and the entire low altitude was densely packed with tracer bullets.
The Minhua Army, which saw this kind of scene for the first time, was dumbfounded, these air defense units were basically all Ming troops, and now the two sides were actually fighting jointly, anyway, Li Zongren's department also changed into camouflage uniforms, and they were all the same face, who knows whether it was the Ming Army or the Minhua Army.
However, there were still enemy planes that broke through and intercepted and dropped bombs at high altitudes, but because of the possible lack of training in this area, and the Spitfire was not designed for bombing, the two bombs were still hundreds of meters away from the nearest self-propelled guns, and the artillerymen who were busy standing on the pedals bare-chested did not even bother to look at Ben, and continued to pour artillery fire at Mandalay there.
Soon, two more Spitfires swooped down under the dense fire from the ground, one of them was exploded by 14.5 mm bullets in the blink of an eye, but the remaining one dived to less than 500 meters at great speed, and at the moment when it was about to drop the bomb, it suddenly stabbed down from the sky with four tracer fire lines, and then this Spitfire dodged to one side, flames came out from the root of the right wing, and then directly separated from the body, one after the other, and crashed into the rice field below into an exploding fire.
And in the sky overhead, a silver twin-engine fighter roared by, followed by dozens of the same fighters.
The Ming Air Force in Imphal arrived, and there was a jet fighter wing stationed there, including a Meteor Group and two Vampire Groups, and this is the Meteor, although this jet fighter was born in World War II, but the Ming Army is the latest MK8, and the performance is not at all a level compared to the early MK1.
The remnants of the Burmese fighters in the sky, the moment they saw the meteor group appear, except for the remaining seven vampires who bravely rushed up to meet it, the rest of the firefighters all hurriedly dropped their bombs and turned around and fled as quickly as possible, but unfortunately these meteors were not ready to let them go, after some of the vampires were entangled, the remaining twenty meteors directly pounced on the firethrowfire, and the meteors with a speed of more than 900 per hour chased the early model of the firebreather with a speed of more than 500 What suspense was there, and soon appeared above the latter's head, and then they each bit the target and dived down.
"Ma's, this is no way to live!"
Lao Yang didn't need to lie on his stomach, he stood up directly, looked at the meteors that were chasing the fire-breathing and beating violently, and said very speechlessly, and the other hidden infantry around him also came out of their hiding places to watch the excitement.
"None of these pilots are good, they're all getting sores on their heads and pus on their feet, do you know what they like to throw the most? Solidify the qi oil bomb, and everyone looks like this after the explosion. ”
Liu Ziming, who was once robbed of his girlfriend by a pilot, waved the half-cooked roast pig in his hand and said hatefully.
As for the Ming army's explanation of why it attacked the Burmese fighters south of the 22nd parallel...
This one is simple.
"Mistakes, that's all, it's hard for our pilots to keep a cool head in battle, and once they fight, they usually shoot down the enemy completely, so they forget this line, I regret this, we have already punished the commanders who carried out the no-fly zone mission, but we must explain that the position where the air battle began at the beginning was indeed within the no-fly zone, so in the final analysis, it was caused by the Honsavady Air Force breaking into the no-fly zone."
The spokesman of the Ming army in the Assam cluster explained to reporters.
Wu Nu was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, shooting down almost half of our Air Force fighters, and it was over with such a misunderstanding? Also make a corresponding punishment, write a review or suspension? Our dead pilots died in vain?
However, the pilot who died could only die in vain, and Li Zongren only bombarded Mandalay instead of crossing the river to enter Mandalay, which was already considered to give him face, otherwise he would have lost the city now.
He was no longer able to support the defeated U Nai Win, because at this time, the rebels of the Karen Alliance, having received arms supplies, took advantage of the weakness of the Eastern Front to launch a large-scale attack and beat the Burmese troops who were holding them back step by step. The total strength of this rebel army is more than 60,000 men, and the Burmese army used against them is less than half of them, and it will be difficult to stop their offensive.
And there is no one in the international community who can help him now.
The Britons don't care, they and Yang Feng are so good that they wear a pair of pants, of course they won't offend Yang Feng for a group of traitors, Mi Guo had already agreed to agree, but he didn't know why he was suddenly ambiguous, only Comrade Li really wanted to help him. But Comrade Li is not strong enough, and he also understands this, after all, Comrade Li is not easy, the Soviets are too far away, like two worlds, they can't help if they want to, Nehru doesn't have the courage to help if he wants to, poor Honsawady, how can he put up such a villain?
Bless us, O Buddha!
Of course, the Buddha will definitely not hear their prayers, and the Buddha's hometown has just let Yang Feng harm him!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, since it is a peace talk, you must also show the sincerity of the peace talks, now that everyone is in Mandalay, you are still clinging to the issue of the northern territories, what else can you talk about? Anyway, even if you don't agree, it's someone else's, and in your case, do you still want to take it back? ”
Yan Enyu said to Wu Nu with a smile.
Wu Nu's negotiation condition was that Li Zongren's subordinates would only be allowed to stay in Mizhina as refugees, but this territory still belonged to Honsavady, which was actually a tacit acquiescence to Li Zongren's existence as a local warlord, but the issue of territorial ownership was not discussed.
Of course, Li Zongren's request is to cease fire along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) at present, and U Nu wants to return the plains they have occupied, so it is easy to do, first, to recognize the sovereignty of the people of China over northern Burma, including the entire Kachin State, and second, to compensate for the loss of 100 million US dollars, which is also the withdrawal cost of their troops from the south of this area.
Of course, this is also unacceptable to U Nu, if he recognizes the sovereignty of the Chinese in northern Burma, then wait for the immediate resignation, and Honsawady will no longer have a basis to fight there, as for the $100 million withdrawal spending...
Why don't you just grab it!
went to our house to kill people and set fires, robbed us of our territory, and had to make us withdraw the military funds after the work, no...
Well, he actually knows that this kind of thing has often happened before, and the Britons have done it countless times, but you are Chinese...
Well, among the Chinese, Yang Feng has also just worked in Tianzhu.
But, in short, this withdrawal fee cannot be paid a cent.
"You see, you can't even show the sincerity of the negotiation, how can the two sides negotiate?"
Yan Enyu said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
