Chapter 218: Eruption
The actual performance of Li Zongren's weakness and Yang Feng's lack of reaction greatly confused Wu Nu, who still lacked the necessary vigilance against the imminent danger, and only sent another division to northern Myanmar on the grounds of preventing similar incidents from happening again, and symbolically expressed regret, as for handing over the murderer and the officer, it was definitely impossible, even if the trial was their own trial, what was the matter with handing it over to Li Zongren?
Besides, a group of bereaved dogs that have been kicked out, what qualifications do they have to ask him?
Li Zongren did not make any further demands, but ordered all the troops and refugees to leave quickly, and then he and his headquarters also evacuated Ba Mo and entered Mizhina, and by this time the 48th Army, as the vanguard, had already passed through the Hukang River Valley.
The next morning, Meng Gong.
The influx of refugees has overcrowded the town, as it is the last supply station before entering the Hukang Valley, where countless vehicles line up to refuel, and refugees and soldiers also queue up to receive their own food, canned milk, vacuum-packed meat, and chocolate transported through the Irrawaddy River.
"Finally going home, Lao Yang, after arriving in Assam, my brother will have a treat, let's find a few girls to open meat first."
Liu Ziming, a well-fed Ming army airborne soldier, was lying on the beach by the river, nibbling on the apple he had just received, and said to his new friends that a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Army around him were lying on the beach as scattered as him.
"Mah, you should beat these bastards before leaving!"
Lao Yang, a former soldier of the expeditionary force, was munching on an apple while looking unwillingly not far away, where a checkpoint of the Hungawady Army was stationed, and a company of soldiers was stationed. Supervising their passage, such checkpoints started at Bhamo and were separated by a short distance, and two divisions of the Burmese army lined up on the long road of hundreds of kilometers, because of what had happened before, the smell of gunpowder on both sides was accumulating day by day. There are often fights with each other or something.
"I've heard that this place is actually ours."
Liu Ziming suddenly said mysteriously.
"Ours? How was that taken by the Honsavady? ”
A group of soldiers all came to their senses, hurriedly sat up and asked.
"Yes, this piece is ours, it was robbed by the British, and the entire northern part of Myanmar is all over it, a few years ago, it seems that we still had a military confrontation with the British, but then the civil war ......"
Liu Ziming stopped abruptly halfway through his speech, and at the same time stopped others from questioning.
"Is there anyone shouting for help?"
He said confusedly.
In the chaotic murmur of the woods behind him. A faint cry for help came again.
", it's our guys!"
Lao Yang jumped up suddenly, and then everyone grabbed their weapons and rushed over, and in the distant checkpoint, several Burmese soldiers looked at each other, and also picked up their weapons and rushed out.
Lao Yang and the others didn't run far, and the cry for help was already very clear, but it quickly disappeared. But it was enough for them to determine their position, less than a minute later. In a clearing in the dense forest, I saw two Burmese soldiers, one smiling and pressing a Chinese girl, the other pressing on her, tearing her clothes.
Liu Ziming raised his gun without hesitation and aimed it at the front. Because there was no accuracy in the run, and the bullets didn't know where to go, the two Burmese soldiers who were busy rolling to the side in fright hurriedly rolled to the side and touched their guns, but at the same time, Lao Yang and the other four soldiers also opened fire on their rifles. It is also not known whose bullets it is. It was hitting one of the Burmese soldiers, who fell to the ground with a scream, and his accomplice threw himself headlong behind a tree, and Lee Enfield turned his head to shoot it, and of course in the confusion, the same bullet did not know where to go.
Liu Ziming and the others rushed forward with extreme speed with the help of the cover of trees, and soon approached the girl who was screaming on the ground, he pounced on her, pushed her into the depression next to her, and then rolled over.
"Lie on your stomach on the ground and don't look up."
He shouted casually, then raised his gun and fired again, this time hitting the shoulder of the Burmese soldier, who rolled out from behind the tree screaming.
"Ma's, bring it back for people to see!"
Lao Yang looked at the ugly appearance of the Burmese soldier and shouted.
Two Minhua soldiers immediately stepped forward to drag him.
But at this moment, suddenly there was a gunshot from between the trees opposite, and at the same time a dense number of bullets were fired, and the two soldiers fell to the ground with a sudden backwards, and blood immediately gushed out from their bodies.
"Enemy reinforcements!"
At the same time as Liu Ziming shouted, those Minhua soldiers found concealment as quickly as possible, and the automatic rifle in his hand immediately fired at the opposite side, and the Stern submachine gun in the hand of another Minhua soldier also sprayed bullets, under the suppression of their firepower, the four Minhua soldiers crawled forward, quickly dragged the wounded companion to the hiding place, and at the same time treated their wounds.
In the woods opposite, the figures of more than a dozen Burmese soldiers loomed.
But now that both sides are angry, no one is ready to give up, and continue to shoot at each other in this dense forest, and their battle immediately alarmed the people outside, Li Mi, who didn't know what was going on, was worried that the refugees would be hurt in the chaos, and did not hesitate to order to control the entire city. His Eighth Army had tens of thousands of people stranded here, and the Burmese army here was only one regiment in total, and they were all scattered at various checkpoints, and they didn't have time to react, and they were all surrounded in the blink of an eye.
But just as one of the checkpoints was surrounded, the Burmese troops stationed there opened fire and counterattacked, so Li Mi didn't have to be polite, and directly ordered the shelling.
"Then let's fight!"
Li Zongren, who learned the news, said lightly.
Indeed, at this time, the reason is no longer important, since the war has started, there is no need to care about the reason, let's talk about it after the fight!
After receiving Li Zongren's order, Mizhina's Seventh Army and Forty-sixth Army were the first to move.
There is only one military district headquarters of the Burmese army here, and there are less than 5,000 subordinates, including a division headquarters, and the sudden attack of Li Zongren's two armies made the military commander of the Burmese army stunned, and before he could figure out what was going on, his headquarters was already surrounded by a division of the Minhua Army, and then forced the shells to whistle and fall, and the bombardment lasted less than five minutes, and after organizing a breakthrough and being beaten back, this guy raised the white flag very happily.
At the same time, the other Burmese strongholds in Mizhina were also cleared, and it took less than half an hour for the city to change hands.
It was only at this time that Li Zongren knew what the cause of the incident was.
But at this point, the cause doesn't matter anymore.
On the Hungsavwady side of the Assam border.
Deep in the mountains and forests, with almost no inhabitants, only a small Burmese army checkpoint and a company of soldiers stationed in total, the two countries are in close proximity and have a thousand-kilometre border but a natural barrier in between. The Savage Mountains and the Rakhine Mountains are like thousands of meters of high walls, almost isolating the two countries, and there is no question of who invades whom between them, which is an excellent proof of whether the expeditionary force died in the Savage Mountains or the Japanese army who died in the Rakhine Mountains, and the only real land passage between the two countries at present is this road.
The commander of this checkpoint was angrily yelling at the road, and a truck coming from Assam stopped in the middle of the road for some unknown reason, because the position of the stop was too right, the originally not wide road was completely blocked, and the convoy behind immediately lined up in a long line. The driver raised his hand apologetically as he went down to beckon the driver behind him to come down and help push the cart, and the Burmese soldiers stood in the open space in front of the checkpoint, smiling at the excitement of these guys.
The contents of the car seemed to be very heavy, and I don't know where it was broken, more than a dozen drivers rushed up, and they could only push the truck to move slowly like a turtle crawling, but they were tired and panting one by one, such an interesting scene soon attracted more Burmese troops, and even the machine gunners behind the bunkers climbed out, sitting on sandbags one by one, smoking cigarettes and watching the excitement.
But at that moment, another convoy of trucks came from the direction of Hungsavady in the east, and when it looked at the situation, the front one simply turned into the checkpoint, and behind it six trucks also turned in, one after the other stopped behind the Burmese soldiers.
The latter didn't think much about it, just a few of them looked back very casually, but the moment they turned their heads, under the tarpaulin covering the car body, black muzzles suddenly appeared...
A minute later, a captain of the 48th Army jumped out of the car with a Stern submachine gun, kicked the corpse of a Burmese soldier in front of him speechlessly, and said: "Ma, what kind of sneak attack is this, I don't feel it at all!" ”
He really didn't expect such a good thing, these guys actually lined up here and waited for him to be shot, originally he was going to have to die at least a dozen brothers, after all, this is also a company, and it is equipped with light and heavy machine guns, now it's okay, the task is completed in the blink of an eye.
Behind him, a large number of soldiers were jumping out of the trucks, and then quickly took over the entire checkpoint, and the remaining few Burmese soldiers who did not come out to see the excitement were immediately dragged out of it, pressed down on the side of the road and shot at the target, and at the same time, the drivers of the carts on the road instantly dispersed, each ran back to their own cars, and together with the broken truck in front, all the trucks started as fast as they could, and continued their journey along the road.
These trucks were loaded with weapons and ammunition.
And behind them, there are countless such fully loaded trucks. (To be continued.) )
