After the 6th Division, which had rested in Mandalay, joined up with the armored mixed brigade, it only stayed for a day before moving north to Lashio, and the entire area north of Mandalay was covered in dust due to the movement of tens of thousands of Japanese troops and a large number of armored troops. This time, it was a Japanese squadron and a tank brigade of the 6th Division in trucks, and at the same time as the roaring tanks of the Japanese army drove out of Mandalay, Zhao Zhi, who was far away in Wan Town, also ordered the troops to cross the Wan Town Bridge and drive towards Lashio, accompanied by the troops were the Stalker Hail Brigade that had just arrived in Wan Town.

Zhao Zhi had already learned the news that the Japanese army had sent troops from Mandalay, but he did not urge the troops to speed up the march, and the civilian convoy that originally transported iron ore and grain to Thunder was hired by Zhao Zhi to transport Thunder's soldiers, and hundreds of trucks stretching for miles could transport nearly half of the soldiers to Lashio for Zhao Zhi at one time. Zhao Zhi is not in a hurry to hurry, because he already has a plan in his heart, and now it is the turn of those Burmese who have taken their own money to contribute, and Lei Ting never raises guys who eat rice.

Fortunately, the commander Kazuo Haruta saw through the binoculars that the attackers were all black and thin Burmese locals, otherwise he would have thought that it was the Shina Tu Ba Lu who attacked them, because these attackers were trained at a glance, and they were very orderly in advance and retreat, completely adhering to the guerrilla tactics of running away with one shot on the Shina Tu Ba Road.

Pushing the truck that had been blown up by the mine down the roadbed, Kazuo Haruta ordered not to move on, and after walking less than 2 miles, the first two trucks were blown up by the mine again, and Kazuo Haruta had to discuss with the commander of the tank brigade to use tanks to open the road in front. It was indeed much smoother to open the road with a tank, and he encountered mines twice in a row without danger, but what happened next made Kazuo Haruta unforgettable.

"Boom" "Boom" Just when Kazuo Haruta and the commander of the tank brigade were secretly happy, two white clouds of smoke suddenly appeared from the bushes beside the road, and then two explosions were heard, and the two 98 light tanks that were fighting the vanguard had turned into fireballs. The Japanese machine gunners, who were quick to react, fired several times at the white smoke, and the dense rain of bullets cut the entire bush into white ground, but unfortunately not even the shadow of the attacker was found.

"Boom" "Boom" The two trucks at the end of the line turned into fireballs, and the soldiers covered in flames jumped out of the cars that had become fireballs screaming, rolling and screaming desperately on the road. The Japanese soldiers who rushed to help were watered, covered with soil, beaten with branches, and in short, all kinds of methods were used to extinguish the fire on those soldiers, but unfortunately the soldiers they rescued had already burned their skin and flesh and were delirious, and more than half of them had died.

A soldier had already reported what had happened here to Kazuo Haruta, and after learning of the situation, Kazuo Haruta immediately ran over with a few soldiers, and the sight in front of him that made him almost mad made Kazuo Haruta's face pale. "Baga Yalu, order the artillery to bombard the bushes on both sides of the road with mortars, and find the attackers for me" The disadvantage of the division and the tragic condition of his soldiers made Kazuo Haruta angry, and he counted all his anger on those attackers.

"Boom" "Boom" A sharp and piercing whistling sound sounded, and then the shells exploded one after another after they landed, and the scarlet flames suddenly exploded in all directions, and the strong air flow rolled up some of the excavated wet soil, and the trees on both sides of the road suddenly fell into a thick smoke and flames. It took five minutes for the four mortars of the Haruta squadron to stop shelling, and when the smoke cleared, the Japanese soldiers went in to search, and Kazuo Haruta got a result that made him want to vomit blood.

If it was placed on the battlefield, the artillery bombardment of the Chuntian squadron and the supplementary fire from the machine guns of the tank brigade were enough to defeat a battalion of the Shina Army, but now the report received by Kazuo Muratou made him very dissatisfied. After expending shells and ammunition, the Japanese soldiers who searched the bushes found nothing, not even blood, let alone the bodies of the attackers.

"Baga Ya Road" Kazuo Haruta looked at the bushes that were still smoking on both sides, and suddenly became angry, jumped up like thunder, and shouted to the herald behind him: "Order the troops to continue the search, if necessary, you can expand the search area, and you must find those attackers."

The herald of "Hai" suddenly bowed his head, then turned around and hurried into the bushes to convey Kazuo Haruta's order, according to Kazuo Haruta's order to expand the search area. Half of the more than 200 soldiers of the Springfield Squadron waited for the chariots on the road and took down the trucks, while the other half worked in groups of three or two, carefully searching the trees for the shadows of the attackers and the traces they had left behind. Time passed minute by minute, a full half an hour passed, and the soldiers of the Chuntian squadron did not even find very hairy, and in desperation, Kazuo Haruta had no choice but to order the soldiers to return to the road, board the car and continue to hurry.

In a depression a kilometer away from the site of the attack on the Chuntian squadron, three Japanese 60-caliber light mortars were all ready. Lai San, who had a grass branch in his mouth, looked ahead with a telescope, and muttered vigorously, "Why are these little devils of dog days coming so slowly, Lao Tzu is going to doze off, if you don't come again, let's just kill it."

"Shut up, you talk a lot" Zhuo Chen, who was lying next to him on his back, scolded with a smile, "We are here to play a sneak attack with the Japanese army, rush up and fight with them, it is called assault, there are only 12 of us, there are hundreds of people, I said that your kid has something in his head every day, and the instructor is afraid that the kid didn't listen carefully when he was in class" Zhuo Chen's words resonated with everyone in the depression, and the three foreign artillerymen who operated the mortar couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, your Uncle Zhuo is an understanding person, my Lai San is a person who can't figure it out, I have nothing to say to you guys" Zhuo Chen cut his face, Lai San was not angry, just lay on the ground and observed the surrounding movements with a telescope. Lai San and Zhuo Chen both belong to a mercenary team, counting the four foreign mercenaries, their team has a total of 12 people, and the number in the Thunder Army is infiltrator. The infiltrators are a battalion of 240 people, with 20 squads of 12 people, before crossing the river, Zhao Zhi airdropped all the infiltrators into Burma, and their task is to find hidden material reserves and contact the Burmese to attack the Japanese army in Burma.

The explosion at Yangon Harbor was the work of one of the infiltrator squads, which could have razed the entire port to the ground if it weren't for the lack of explosives. Lai's 3rd squad received an order to block the Japanese troops from Mandalay for a day and a night, and then detour to Mandalay to organize the Burmese to attack the Japanese garrison there, in short, they could not let the Japanese stay in Mandalay comfortably.

"Come, come, I see Xiao Si's signal, everyone prepare" After a long and boring wait, Lai San, who looked lazy, suddenly turned his head and called out in a low voice. Zhuo Chen and the others didn't dare to slack off, opened the shell box and took out the shells to prepare for the shelling. "Point Three, Two Rounds of Rapid Fire" The deep voice of the team leader Qiao Sihai came from the walkie-talkie, and the three foreign gunners operating the mortar quickly adjusted the angle of the mortar, and a few seconds later, three shells flew out of the barrel and flew into the air.

Lai San and his gang set this place as the attack point, and naturally they had already made a detailed coordinate location for the section of the road where the shelling was shelled, and the observation post only needed to report the number position, and the foreign gunners operating the mortars could accurately find that position. Before the three shells in front of the "Tong" "Tong" and "Tong" exploded, the three foreign gunners shot out three more shells, "Go, go, retreat, let's go and kick their ass" The mercenaries in the depression packed up their things with all their hands and feet, and disappeared into the bushes behind the depression without looking back, and a vacant shell box was abruptly left in the depression where the smoke cleared.

"Boom" "Boom" Lai San They hadn't gone far into the bushes when they heard several explosions behind them, and when they turned around, they saw that a few clouds of smoke were rising above the depression where they had just been hiding, apparently bombarded by Japanese tanks. "The little devils of the dog day are not bad, fortunately, the grandfathers are fast, a little slower, and a few of us will become barbecues" Lai San strode forward with a nonchalant smile, and Zhuo Chen followed closely behind with mortars and ammunition boxes and continued to march towards the depths of the bushes.

After the second raid, the explosions and the rising smoke shocked Kazuo Haruta, and a herald ran over with a quick walk covered in dust, and suddenly retracted his feet and said: "Your Excellency, Nakasa, it's not good, the truck we hauled the ammunition was shelled, all the mortar shells and heavy machine gun bullets were gone, and the second lieutenant Araki and the soldiers who escorted the car were also shattered."

After hearing the bad news, Kazuo Haruta's face suddenly changed drastically, and the corners of his mouth twitched constantly. "Yagaya Road, you cowards, cowards, if you have the ability, you will come out and fight with me in an upright manner, what kind of soldier is it to sneak attack behind the back" Kazuo Haruta angrily pulled out his southern pistol and loaded it, and pocketed the trigger on the bushes on both sides of the road, and the crisp gunshots rang out non-stop, until the bullets in one of the magazines were all gone, and Kazuo Haruta quieted down.

After firing a shuttle of bullets, Kazuo Haruta stood on a tank and roared loudly: "Order, Warrior Gate of the Haruta Squadron, prepare for the battle of Jade Crushing and fight our enemy to the death, long live His Majesty the Emperor"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor," the Japanese soldiers around him opened their throats and howled, and even worse, they had already taken out their death belts and began to tie them to their heads. The entire Haruta squadron was filled with an aura of mourning, and their fighting spirit had been stimulated to the highest point by Kazuo Haruta's words.
