In the first battle of Lashio, the Chinese army won a great victory, not only conquering the important town of Lashio in northern Myanmar, but also annihilating nearly 200,000 enemies and capturing nearly 40,000 little devils.

There is no doubt that after the nearly 40,000 little devils will be killed, the rest of the ordinary little devils will serve as free labor, and some of them will be escorted back to China to contribute to China's great construction.

The other part of the little devils will be used to repair the Lashio airport, as well as some bombed-out roads and bridges.

After the Chinese army occupies Lashio, Lashio will be used as a forward base, and a large number of supplies will be transported to Lashio through the Yunnan-Burma Highway to be hoarded, and at the same time, after the Lashio airport is repaired, a large number of warplanes will also be stationed at Lashio airport to provide air support for the forward troops.

After resting for three days at Lashio Airport, the armies began to move south, this time aiming at Mandalay.

This time, the Ministry of National Defense formulated an operational plan from north to south, with several major group armies advancing along the Yunnan-Burma Highway, passing through Lashio, Mandalay, and all the way to Yangon in southern Burma.

The other force, with the cooperation of the navy, will land from the southern port of Mawlamyine, attack the area around Dong Ku and Rangoon, and flank the Japanese army north and south with the 1st, 2nd, 13th, 15th, and 28th armies.

On the second day after these major armies occupied Lashio, the other three armies of the Chinese army, the 3rd Army, the 4th Army, and the 23rd Army, crossed the Sino-Vietnamese border and marched into Vietnam.

The 1st, 2nd, 13th, 15th, and 28th armies, after resting for three days at Lashio. The army began to advance south along several major highways.

In late October, Mawlamyine.

Although there are frequent wars in northern Burma and the Chinese army is advancing in a big way, the Japanese army in Mawlamyine in southern Burma does not have the tension of a major war.

These little devils have been in Burma since they occupied Myanmar two or three years ago. It's been a long time since I've experienced a big war. This area was also submissive under the control of the Japanese army, and at most some local armed small-scale riots, but the equipment was backward. Very small number of local armed forces. It was quickly suppressed by the Japanese army.

There has been no big war for a long time. Although stationed in an important seaport in Myanmar, these little devils did not have any tension in the war, and seemed to be loose and sloppy. Many of the little devils went into the city to drink flower wine, and some even went to find the local flower girl.

On the sea less than thirty nautical miles from Mawlamyine, a huge fleet has been sailing, this is the Chinese fleet, the whole fleet has two aircraft carriers, three battleships, five heavy cruisers, in addition to light cruisers, destroyers, transport ships, landing ships, etc., more than thirty large and small ships.

These two aircraft carriers, one is the "Datong" aircraft carrier, the other is the "Taiyuan" aircraft carrier, Taiyuan is also one of the places where Zhang Yunfei started, and the second aircraft carrier was named "Taiyuan".

The "Taiyuan" aircraft carrier is a small aircraft carrier that can dock 36 Mustang carrier-based aircraft and two helicopter gunships, and is also equipped with four "Stinger" missile launchers.

The three battleships also belonged to the Chinese Navy after Japan's surrender, and the largest battleship had a displacement of more than 50,000 tons, which was larger than an ordinary aircraft carrier, and the caliber of its main guns reached 460 mm caliber.

After the three battleships were upgraded and upgraded, they were also equipped with advanced radars and Stinger II missiles, and each battleship was also equipped with a helicopter gunship.

At present, the Japanese garrison is under the new name of "Chinese Defense Forces in Japan," the commander is a Chinese general, and more than 100,000 Chinese troops are stationed at several major military bases in Japan.

Chu Tianming, commander of the 6th Group Army, was standing on the deck of a large transport landing ship with a displacement of 5 to 6,000 tons, which was designed and produced by China's Tianjin Shipyard, and the Chinese Navy was already equipped with six such landing ships.

Each landing ship carried not only an entire infantry regiment of soldiers and equipment, but also several tanks and armored vehicles.

Chu Tianming, who was standing on the deck, was a little excited in his heart, but he didn't expect that after returning from Japan, the troops did not rest for long, and they went to the front line in Myanmar again.

This time, it was still a landing operation with the cooperation of the Chinese Navy, but with the cooperation of the Chinese Navy, Chu Tianming was not worried at all, but was a little looking forward to and excited about the upcoming battle.

The 6th Army will land at Mawlamyine in batches, and the first batch of soldiers will reach tens of thousands, not only on six large landing ships, but also on several large transport ships.

Comrade Liu Dazhu, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, was in the command room of the "Datong" aircraft carrier at this time, holding a telescope and looking at the endless sea around him. ”

This time, according to the battle plan, the huge guns on the three battleships will be used to destroy the shore defense guns of the little devils from a long distance.

The three battleships, with their main guns caliber of either 406 mm or 460 mm, can completely destroy the shore defense guns deployed by the little devils.

This time, the Chinese army attacked the Japanese occupation of Mawlamyine, before sending troops, the Chinese air force had already reconnoitred several times, in the Mawlamyine seaport, the Japanese army not only deployed a lot of troops, but also the Japanese army built more than a dozen large batteries.

Through these reconnaissances, it was found that the batteries built by the Japanese army were all large batteries, and the smallest caliber of the deployed cannons was 155 mm, and there were even 203 mm and 300 mm caliber.

In particular, the two 300 mm caliber shore defense guns were extremely large, each weighing hundreds of tons, with long barrels pointed directly at the sea in the distance.

Obviously, in order to defend this port, the Japanese army invested a lot of money, and the Japanese army in Southeast Asia deployed its only two 300 mm caliber coastal defense guns in Mawlamyine.

The Japanese army in Mawlamyine reached a whole division, more than 20,000 people, and the little devils can be said to have deployed heavy troops, and in the port of Mawlamyine, there were also garrison troops of 3 or 4,000 people.

As time passed, the Chinese navy was only about a dozen kilometers away from the harbor, and the little devils stationed in the port of Mawlamyine were unaware that a huge fleet was approaching them.

On board the "Datong" aircraft carrier, two helicopter gunships have already taken off, and the task of these two helicopter gunships is to observe the landing points of the shells from a distance and correct the shelling parameters for the three battleships.

Three battleships, huge main guns have been aimed at the port of Mawlamyine more than a dozen kilometers away, and the fighters are ready to open fire just a few orders later.

The two gunships in the sky once again determined the bearing and distance of the little devil battery, and sent the data back to the battleship that carried out the shelling mission.

After the fighters corrected the firing parameters again, with an order, the main guns of the three battleships roared, and the main guns of more than 400 mm shelled were very spectacular.

Not only was the sound of the cannon deafening, but the entire battleship was pushed several meters by the huge recoil, and the smoke and flames produced by the gun barrel mouth were not comparable to ordinary cannons.

More than a dozen huge shells, flying off the thick barrels, flew towards distant targets, and made a sharp and alarming whistling sound as they flew.

It was the first time for many soldiers to see such a giant cannon fired, and everyone couldn't help but be excited when they saw such a spectacular cannon scene, the giant cannon was really extraordinary!

It was Liu Dazhu, who was a little moved when he saw the battleships in the distance firing their guns one after another, the huge cannon of the battleship was really powerful, and the scene of firing the cannon was amazing!

Distance.

On the dock, the little devils stationed in the harbor also clearly heard the roar of the cannon, although it was more than ten kilometers away, but the giant cannon with a caliber of more than 400 mm opened fire, the movement was still too big, and the sound spread on the sea, there was nothing to block it, and the little devils could clearly hear the sound of the cannon.

In the sky, the cannonballs flew and produced a sharp whistling sound, which the little devils also heard, but the little devils almost didn't have time to react, and a huge explosion sounded at the location of their own battery.

The cannonball flies faster than the sound, but the sound is a straight line, and the cannonball flies in a curve, so as soon as the little devils hear the cannon, the cannonball will fall with it.

Although it was the first round of firing, because a helicopter had corrected the shelling parameters in the sky, nearly half of the shells in this shelling directly hit the target, and the shells that did not hit the target were not far from the target.

A huge battery that the little devils worked so hard to build was hit by a 460 mm caliber shell, and with a loud "boom", the battery was blown up, and the 300 mm cannon on the battery was also blown up.

The huge and bulky shore defense gun, almost a little deformed, and the long barrel was crooked to the side, apparently, this cannon was scrapped.

Not far away, another huge battery, in an even worse condition, was hit directly by two or three shells, all of which had a minimum caliber of 406 mm.

After several astonishing explosions, the battery, which was also equipped with a 300-caliber coastal defense battery, suddenly collapsed, the thick cement base was blown up, and the huge coastal defense was almost disintegrated, and even worse, some shells stored on the battery were also killed.
