Chapter 411: Good news

"Attack!" Lin Jianhui issued the order to attack at the right time.

The soldiers, who were already ready to attack, charged up the hill one after another. Even though they were carrying a tactical backpack with a heavy weight, the soldiers were able to maneuver over obstacles on the mountain road with great agility.

On the heavy machine gun position at the bottom of the mountain, between the average two heavy machine guns, there is a soldier with a telescope, using the night vision binoculars in his hand to guide the direction of fire for the heavy machine gun.

Heavy machine guns use tracer bullets to guide the attacking troops to target their shots. In the dark, despite the fact that there was a lot of fire and flares, there was still a need for a more accurate target for these heavy machine guns. Because flares are not inexhaustible, they cannot illuminate the entire position as if it were daylight.

The Allied commander also began to organize the remaining soldiers to defend, but the heavy machine gun positions he relied on were now only three, and they could no longer form an effective fire network. His mine arrays and barbed wire fences were also scrapped one by one under intensive artillery fire.

Counting the losses on the previous two hills, what was originally a complete infantry brigade is now only five or six hundred people left. Immediately made the Allied commander want to cry without tears, especially this high ground, which was the focus of their defense. But it only lasted for an hour, and there were already heavy casualties.

Before the war, a whole infantry regiment here, as well as several Indian companies, is no longer visible from its former "glory".

Even the mortars were lost in the fire, which made him completely lose the confidence to hold on.

"Report to General Mountbatten that we have lost control of the situation. This place will also fall in a short period of time. ”

Such a message was sent to the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Southeast Asia, and his face felt hot. On the two hills in front, when the defenders were quickly wiped out by the Chinese army, he was still cursing the Indians for their stupidity. Now he is about to follow in the footsteps of those Indians, how not to shame him.

Organize the last force and hold on for as long as you can.

Without those 20 heavy machine guns, the Chinese offensive went smoothly. Under the cover and guidance of heavy machine guns, when there were still 200 meters away from the first Allied trench, the squad machine gun position was again established to further suppress the Allied counterattack.

The sound of assault rifles constantly sounded over the positions. And the sound is getting denser. It seems that the whole position is full of light machine guns. The Allied soldiers were completely suppressed, and there was no chance to even raise their heads.

Half cover, half quick assault, such a simple tactic. It was used very smoothly by Chinese soldiers. The effect is also very good. Under the action of an assault rifle. Every time you swap positions, you can advance one or twenty meters.

By the time they reached the trench, there were still sixty meters to go, and the mortar positions in the rear had been constructed. Direct support for their operations began.

This time, the Allied soldiers had even more difficulty looking up, and the cats were in the trenches, clinging to the corpses or stumps and severed arms. Now and only in their hearts they pray that no shells will fall on their side.

However, their nightmare was not over, and when the Chinese soldiers were still thirty meters away from the trench, they took out their grenades and threw them at the first trench in a swarm. Continuous explosions rang out in the Allied lines, this time in the trenches.

Sending the bodies of the Allied soldiers hiding in the trenches into the sky, the remaining three heavy machine gun occupations were quickly disposed of, and the flamethrower, under the cover of other soldiers and flashbangs, sprayed flames from the firing port into the machine gun position directly thirty meters away.

The three burning fortresses, with the screams of burning and the faint smell of roasted meat, added a lot of color to the night.

Once the first trench was captured, the rest was easy, when they got to the third. The Allied commander here, a British major general, led the remnants to surrender to the Chinese army.

The long captive life of the soldiers who awaited them will also contribute their own strength to the construction of China.

――――――――――

At the headquarters of the Chinese Sixth Army in Yangon, a full ten hours had passed since the ground forces launched an offensive. The night also passed under fire, and by this time the sky had begun to lighten.

"Report to the commander, the 3rd Regiment of the 623rd Division (3rd Division of the 2nd Army of the 6th Army) has called, they have completed the expected occupation task, and are now heading towards the Irrawaddy River, and it is expected that in half an hour, they will arrive at the Irrawaddy River, and also join forces on other fronts."

"Report to the commander, the separate armored brigade sent a telegram that with the cooperation of the 631st Division, they had cleared the various town strongholds of the Allied forces along the road and cleared the danger on the road. Ten minutes later, the vanguard will arrive at the predetermined assembly area. ”

"Report to the Commander ,......"

……

In the last hour, Du Yuming squinted and leaned back in his chair, listening to the good news from the front line.

This is his real first fight, and he's been waiting for a long time for today. Although I have fought domestic warlords in the past, and I have also had the experience of fighting Japan, but the scale is very small. There has never been a time when we have commanded so many troops as we do today, and the navy, army, and air force are complete.

Therefore, he regarded this fight as the most important battle of his life, and it was also a very important first battle.

In addition, Chen Shao, who was far away in Hanjing, also maintained a high degree of attention to this battle, which made him want to perform well.

He wants to play the domineering spirit that belongs to the Chinese army and come up with the strongest attack force to complete the most important battle in his life.

Everyone will give themselves a goal, and Du Yuming is no exception. It took the Japanese three or four months to drive Britain and France out of Southeast Asia. He did not want to lose to the Japanese, and his goal was simple: to drive the only Allied forces in Southeast Asia to India in at least two months.

That is, in two months, he was going to hit India directly to "caress the pearl in the British crown".

Du Yuming can't say how many points he is satisfied with his goal, but what he must accomplish. He didn't want little Japan to continue to struggle with a small victory.

In the gap of this good news, Liao Yaoxiang walked into the headquarters. He saluted Du Yuming, who was there with the old god, and said, "Commander, the First Army has completed the established combat mission and has now assembled on the edge of the Irrawaddy River. Twelve river gunboats also began to enter the Irrawaddy River to provide fire cover for our next operations. ”

Liao Yaoxiang is not only the commander of the First Army of the Sixth Group Army, but also concurrently serves as the chief of staff of the Sixth Group Army, and he handles many things.

Du Yuming stood up, walked to the map, and then asked Liao Yaoxiang: "Old Liao, how is the follow-up second-line troops progressing now?" ”

"The occupation of the areas has begun, and the results are going well, and some stragglers are not yet a threat to them. The local residents also had a good attitude towards us, and nothing happened for the time being. Liao Yaoxiang replied.

"Order the armed police force and reserve forces not to be careless, keep military discipline in mind, and once there is something that deceives and disturbs the people, I will severely punish it. According to His Majesty's instructions, transport some food to each village. In the future, they will all be members of the Chinese family, and a good image must be established immediately.

In addition, they will cooperate with the police department to establish stable law and order as soon as possible. Yan Xishan, minister of public security, has already sent a large number of policemen to the occupied areas to start the work of establishing public order. This is also a top priority, and the armed police and the police can also be regarded as a family, so let them cooperate more. ”

For the ethnic groups in Southeast Asia, Chen Shao never had the intention of killing them with a rod. There are many people in Southeast Asia, and there are nearly 60 ethnic groups in Vietnam alone, which can be said to be a hodgepodge of ethnic groups. Not every nation is damned, and there are still many kind people in this world.

Therefore, at the beginning of the offensive, Chen Shao instructed Du Yuming that he must protect the image of the Chinese army, and in the future, Burma will be China's Burma, and the image of China's righteous army must be established. Try to do some things to send clothes and food, and use small things to move them, so that those Burmese people can accept China from their hearts.

In general, it is the same policy as the implementation of the pilot cities at the beginning of the establishment of the city, so that those Burmese people are willing to become a member of China.

"I see, please rest assured Commander. Although the reserve forces and the armed police force are only second-line troops, they are no worse than the active forces in terms of discipline. As for the work of law and order, I will also let them start as soon as possible. Liao Yaoxiang said.

Du Yuming nodded and shifted the topic to the battle: "The 61st Army has arrived at the assembly area, and the independent armored brigade is about to arrive, so it will immediately carry out the next move, and now we must not let Mountbatten take a breather." Otherwise, with Boli and Shayeva, it is very likely that they will form a stalemate with us. ”

"Now that we have air superiority and the sky is starting to lighten, it's time to cause some more trouble for the Allies and give Mountbatten a good look at our strength." Liao Yaoxiang said.

Du Yuming ordered in a loud voice: "Order the air force division, send all the bombers to me, don't hide my secrets, and carry out continuous bombing of Boli and Shayewa for a day today." Tell them not to worry about the ammunition, we have enough to splurge them.

Then send electricity to the boat bridge group and make a quick heading towards the Irrawaddy River, and in two hours I will see a strong pontoon bridge built on the river. The river gunboat units and artillery cover the movements of the Zhouqiao Regiment, and the Air Force must also provide air protection for the Zhouqiao Regiment at all times.

The other troops immediately rested and replenished their strength. After the pontoon bridge was erected, the river crossing operation was immediately launched. (To be continued.) )
