Chapter 1321 Reversal of the situation
The situation was dangerous, and although his own shells did not fall on the heads of the team, if his decision was a little slower, he might have caused heavy casualties. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After the team escaped, they quickly slipped back to their own camp thousands of meters away, and at this time the fat man asked Kong Ning to count the casualties.
Fortunately, this time he set fire to it while it was dark, and the miracle generally did not cause casualties, and there were not a few injured, which made him secretly relieved.
The artillery of the British and Burmese troops and the artillery of the Liu Yu detachment continued to shell the camp of the little devils, and after receiving the news of the return of the arson team, even the tank guns of the British and Burmese troops joined the artillery bombardment against the positions and barracks of the 55th Division.
The fat man looked at the 55th Division regimental camp in the sea of fire from a distance with a telescope, and his fat face turned into a flower.
It seems that the night attack set fire, and by the way, the command center of the 55th Division, and the attack of the Anglo-Burmese Army and the Expeditionary Force at dawn, I am afraid that the 55th Division of the little devil will no longer be able to form any resistance.
This was the original intention of his squad to attack and set fire to the 55th Division at night, otherwise in the terrain of this Ma Pingchuan, attacking the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, which occupies a favorable position, how heavy would the casualties be?
If it weren't for this fire, perhaps, the offensive battle at dawn would have died abruptly.
Now that the 55th Division has been burned down, and the command center of the 55th Division is finished, if you attack at this moment, even if you are a scumbag, you can win the victory.
Seeing that the agreed attack time was about to come, the fat man switched the offensive sequence of the Anglo-Burmese army and the Liu Yu detachment, and changed it to the Anglo-Burmese army as the main attack, and the Liu Yu detachment as the follow-up.
This made all the British and Burmese generals muttered a little in their hearts, in the past battles, the fat man's soldiers were closely followed by tanks and armored vehicles, and the infantry was considered to be the leader.
At this moment, a fire burned the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, and continued to cover the shelling, but when attacking, Liu Yu's detachment was in the position of the rear of the palace, don't you want to get military merits?
However, every battle was won by the British and Burmese troops, and it is reasonable that Liu Yu's detachment did not rush to the front.
Besides, the fat man led a rogue detachment and burned the little devils to the ground, no matter how bad it was, the British and Burmese troops also had the ability to capture the positions of the little devils.
As soon as the time for the attack came, two additional divisions sent by the Anglo-Burmese Army and the Expeditionary Force attacked 70,000 troops and began the offensive and annihilation battle.
The "booming" artillery sound sounded, and the British-Burmese army and the expeditionary force used all the artillery at their disposal to launch a covering artillery attack on the camps and positions of the 55th Division of the Japanese army.
Half an hour later, the Anglo-Burmese troops assembled at the head and tail of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, and the troops of the expeditionary force collectively launched a charge.
"Dada...... Bang bang ......" machine guns and infantry guns were mixed together, fierce and violent.
The fat man, who was in charge of commanding the Anglo-Burmese army and Liu Yu's detachment, was on his own positional observation post, watching the battle situation with a telescope, and tossed and turned all night last night, for this kind of battle that must be won, he didn't even have the heart to charge.
Of course, the special operations team of the rogue detachment and the infantry of the second brigade who acted with him last night were also resting in the camp, and they had done their best in this battle of annihilation, so let's give this matter to the Anglo-Burmese army and the expeditionary force.
The advance of the Anglo-Burmese army was going well, the defense of the Japanese 55th Division was almost useless, a fire in the night burned all their supplies, and the commander was killed, how could they still have any fighting spirit?
The resistance of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army was only a matter of defeat and retreat, and defeat was a matter of time.
In addition, the rear expeditionary force gathered the strength of four divisions, and under the leadership of the 200th armored mechanized division, it also easily broke through the defensive position of the 55th Division, relying on tanks and armored vehicles to lead the infantry to advance in depth.
In the direction of the Anglo-Burmese Army, covered by the tanks and armored vehicles of the 7th Armored Brigade, the 1st and 17th Divisions of the Anglo-Burmese Army advanced very quickly, not only easily occupying the positions of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, but also the tanks and armored vehicles of the 7th Armored Brigade had rushed to the barracks of the 55th Division to carry out the final attack on the little devils in the barracks.
The fat man saw all this through the telescope, and his heart was relieved, I am afraid that the little devil Amaterasu will come in person, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to change the fate of the annihilation of the 55th Division.
He put down the binoculars in his hand, stretched, pouted, and turned back to sleep in the pit of the Provisional Headquarters.
The scorching sun in the east gradually poked its head out, and a little devil's bomber appeared in the distant sky.
At this moment, the fighters of the US Volunteer Air Brigade that took off from Yunnan also flew to the battlefield, and in order to win this battle, Stilwell used his connections to get all of Chennault's Flying Tigers, the purpose of which was to contain the little devil bombers and reduce the air pressure for the annihilation of the 55th Division.
Of course, the US fighter planes were unilaterally slaughtered against the little devil's bombers, but the little devil's bombers were all light bombers with air combat capabilities.
When the fat man rested for a while, got up and looked at his watch, it was already more than eleven o'clock at noon, and at this moment there were still sporadic gunshots on the battlefield, there were no planes fighting between the two sides in the air, the annihilation battle had completely ended, and the Japanese army in Burma had been annihilated by another division.
So far, only one of the four divisions of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army that invaded Burma is the 56th Division, and it has also been caught in the middle of the two armies of the expedition.
"Fat Liu, are you with you?" Zhang Liguo walked into the headquarters with a smile on his face, saw him get up, and asked with a smile.
"Nonsense!" The fat man rolled his eyes and continued: "Can the fat man get up if he doesn't wake up?" ”
Zhang Liguo laughed, this smile was obviously a smile of victory.
"How's it going?" He still has to ask more, after all, the annihilation of the 55th Division is the key, as long as the 55th Division is annihilated, the Burmese devils may have to flee if they don't want to.
The annihilation of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army showed that the situation in Burma had been reversed by this time, and the expeditionary force and the Anglo-Burmese army could switch from defense to offensive and completely drive out the little devils who had invaded Burma.
"Very good, the British and Burmese troops and the expeditionary force have broken through the position of the 55th Division, the 55th Division has been completely annihilated under the front and rear attacks, and the four divisions of the expeditionary force have returned to cooperate with the expeditionary force to encircle the 56th Division of the Japanese army, and it is unknown when the general attack will be launched."
"General Stilwell just sent a request, let us assist the expeditionary force to eliminate the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, General Slim called and said, the transfer of the Anglo-Burmese army, everything is up to you!" Zhang Liguo said with a smile......
