On the banks of the Bago River north of Yangon, the sound of artillery rumbles and kills the sky. The 2nd Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps and the 41st Infantry Division of the British Army fought fiercely on this stretch of river beach. With the artillery support from the rear, the 2nd Marine Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps continued to launch fierce attacks on the British defense line with strong firepower. The British line of defense, under the attack of the Chinese marines, was crumbling.

"Heavy machine gun cover! Mortars suppressed the artillery of the British, one platoon broke through head-on, the second platoon detoured to the left, and the third platoon as a reserve! A Chinese Marine Corps captain company commander lay behind a bunker and gave orders loudly. The Chinese Marines needed to break through the British lines in order to establish a solid beachhead, which would also be effective in reducing casualties. Otherwise, there would not be much shelter on the river beach, and the marines could only lie on the river beach and shoot at the British, which was very disadvantageous.

A company, more than 100 people, has lost more than 20 people from the beginning of the landing to the present. However, the huge losses did not make this company lose its combat effectiveness, but made them more and more courageous.

"Boom! Rumble! Da-da-da, da-da! "The company's two 60-mm mortars began to fire at the positions of the British troops at the maximum rate of fire. A Type 44 heavy machine gun also began to fire frantically, pouring bullets on the heads of the British soldiers, so that the British soldiers had to bury their heads low.

With the help of the cover of fire, a platoon of marines. Leaping from the ground, he rushed towards the British defense line more than two hundred meters away. It's like a tiger coming down the mountain.

"Quick! Fast! The Chinese rushed up. Rise up quickly, you pigs. "A major officer of the British Army. Punched and kicked the British soldiers who were cowering in the trenches, trying to keep them fending off the attack of the Chinese marines.

"Smack!" A bullet hole the size of a thumb appeared in the head of the British major officer. Something mixed with red blood and white brain pulp, came out of the bullet hole.

"Ahh My God! It's horrible, I don't want to be here anymore. A British soldier screamed in fright, turned and crawled out of the trench and tried to run towards the city of Yangon. He had been frightened by the dangers of the battlefield.

"Jack. Come back! You cowardly fellow! A British second lieutenant shouted loudly. But then, several heavy machine gun bullets came in, and Jack, who had escaped, fell to the ground. Merely. Unlike the British soldiers who died, he turned his back to the direction of the battlefield.

"Grenades, throw!" When the Chinese marines broke through to less than forty meters from the British lines, a slightly platoon commander commanded loudly. Subsequently. More than two dozen grenades, emitting white smoke, flew towards the British trenches. Although quite a few grenades fell outside the trenches. But several grenades still fell into the trenches. The grenade exploded, blowing up the British soldiers in the trenches and crying for their mothers.

At this time, the Chinese marines also took the opportunity to rush into the trenches and began to engage the British in close combat.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! The sound of continuous pistol fire rang out in the trenches, and several British soldiers who were still trying to put up a stubborn resistance were shot dead on the spot. Chinese marines who broke into the British line began to clear the trenches of the remnants of the British army.

Inside the trenches, the usefulness of pistols and grenades. Much larger than a rifle. At this time, most of the rifles were loaded with bayonets. Directly engage in a white-knuckle battle with the British army. Although it has now entered the era of hot weapons, the Chinese* army still has not given up on white-knuckle warfare. This is still an important subject of training. Although the British soldiers were generally taller than the Chinese soldiers, they could only rely on brute force and had no bayonet skills at all. The white knives entered, the red knives came out, and the British soldiers were constantly killed, and the miserable howls before they died were like killing pigs!

More and more Chinese marines broke through the British defense line and began to strangle with the British army. In addition to the 2nd Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps, units of the 4th Brigade of the Marine Corps also crossed the Bago River one after another and landed on the north bank of the Bago River. The 41st Infantry Division of the British Army, which was defeated and retreated, almost completely fell into the control of the Chinese marines.

"General, the 1st Regiment has been defeated, they have lost more than half of it, Colonel Hoffman is leading the remnants of the troops to retreat to the rear, and the Chinese have completely occupied the first line of defense. They are attacking the second line of defense. A junior officer reported to Major General Kevin.

"Hell, what about the 3rd Regiment? Immediately go up and stop the Chinese no matter what. Also, to the power generation department of the headquarters, we need support now. Otherwise, it will not be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese at all! Major General Kevin's eyes were red, like an angry lion.

Inside the headquarters of the British 11th Army, George . Lieutenant General Pollock had also been following the battle, and the Chinese* army had taken the lead in attacking the north bank of the Bago River, while the Yangon River line, except for artillery bombardment, had not sent troops to cross the river. However, George. Lieutenant General Pollock had to prevent the Chinese* army from attacking the west, so he still deployed a large number of elite troops on the east bank of the Yangon River.

"General, the 41st Infantry Division is in a hurry, the Chinese have occupied their first line of defense and are attacking the second line. Major General Kevin asked us to send reinforcements, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese. "The communications officer gave a letter to George. Lieutenant General Pollock reported.

"Bastard, is that guy Kevin a rice bucket? In such a moment, a line of defense was lost. Sue him that he must find a way to take back the defensive line and drive the Chinese down the river. "George. Lieutenant General Pollock said furiously. The wide Bago River barely plays a little or so which makes George. Lieutenant General Pollock was even more worried about not being able to hold Rangoon.

"General, the Chinese have invested more than 10,000 troops on the north bank of the Bago River, plus the Chinese have an advantage in artillery fire, so the 41st Infantry Division is inevitably at a disadvantage." The communications officer whispered.

"Sue Kevin, he'll hold out at least until the evening. When the time comes, I will give him a regiment. "George. Lieutenant General Pollock said. The British 11th Army had only four infantry divisions, of which the 42nd Infantry Division was disabled and was allowed to leave the Burma battlefield and return to India to recuperate. Now there are only 3 infantry divisions under the 11th Army. George. Lieutenant General Pollock did not have many troops in his hands, so he had to save some of them. However, he had to reinforce the 41st Infantry Division, otherwise the Chinese* army would have to attack Rangoon as soon as the second line of defense of the 41st Infantry Division was breached.

"Yes, General!" The communications officer nodded, and hurriedly went to deliver the order.

"General, the 2nd and 4th Marines have successfully landed on the north bank of the Bago River and are now storming the British lines. It is estimated that if it is over, the British army should not be able to hold on. "At the headquarters of the 14th Infantry Corps of the Chinese Army on the west bank of the Yangon River, the communications officer handed a telegram to Major General Kang Rui.

"Haha, that's good! The 14th Infantry Brigade and the 32nd Infantry Brigade were also ordered to cross the river and prepare for a fierce assault on Rangoon from the east! Major General Kang Rui said with a laugh. Although the 14th Army did not launch an attack on the Rangoon River, their survival greatly restrained the strength of the British army, so that the British army did not dare to throw too many troops into the eastern front. Once the British army transferred troops from the front line of the Yangon River, it would give the 14th Infantry Corps an opportunity.

"Yes. Checkmate! The communications officer said excitedly. The current war situation has developed in a direction favorable to the Chinese Empire, which makes the officers and men of the whole army very excited. This time it was a large-scale local war with the British Empire, the world's largest power! If this battle can be won, it will be able to increase the influence of the Chinese Empire. Winning glory for the country and fighting for the interests of the country, isn't this the direction of the efforts of the officers and men of the whole army?

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "As more and more Chinese* troops landed north of the Bago River, the superiority of the Chinese* army in firepower was fully demonstrated. When the British artillery was suppressed, the British could only brave the artillery fire to fight the Chinese* army, which caused great casualties to the British army, and the morale of the British army began to decline.

At 4:50 p.m., the 14th Infantry Brigade of the Chinese Army, which had successfully landed, began to join the battle. The addition of another new force made the offensive of the Chinese* army more intense, but the pressure on the British army was even greater. In the face of the fierce attack of the Chinese* army, the commander of the 41st Infantry Division of the British Army, Major General Kevin, was simply powerless. The casualties of the troops are getting bigger and bigger, and if they continue like this, they will definitely not be able to hold out for long.

An hour later, the second line of defense of the British 41st Infantry Division was broken through and soon declared lost. The two regiments of the British army, which guarded these two lines, lost more than half. The remnants of the army also abandoned their positions and fled to the city of Yangon. The road to Yangon's city has been opened.

As the most important city in southern Myanmar, Yangon is not prosperous, but the urban area is not small. Resplendent Buddhist temples can be seen everywhere. Fortunately, the Burmese living in Yangon had fled before the war began, otherwise it is unknown how many would have died in the fighting.

After driving the British back to the city of Yangon, the 14th Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Chinese Army launched a tentative attack on the city of Yangon, seizing an area on the outskirts of Yangon. However, before the arrival of the follow-up army, the troops did not make any further attacks on the city. (To be continued......)
