In order to prepare for the Eagle Eye group that had infiltrated Yangon City and get out of danger safely, in accordance with the order of the division commander, Zheng Yong's artillery stopped shelling the outer trenches of Yangon, and in less than 10 minutes, a total of 21 field infantry brigades launched an attack on the Japanese army's first-line positions from the western and northern directions of Yangon under the cover of 12 tank brigades.

What appeared in the telescope of the Japanese front commander was a row of tanks, stirring up dust, roaring, galloping, and rolling towards the Japanese position.

In the early morning light, the armor of the tank flashed a dark cold light, this torrent of metal, to all the Japanese officers and soldiers brought shock and impact, they were dumbfounded, the largest outer trench, has been razed to the ground, lost all artillery, they do not know, what weapons to use to resist this terrible armored cluster.

After a few minutes of stunned speech, the Japanese commander at the front trembled and shouted: "The enemy is attacking, shoot!" "On the Japanese position, a circle of blazing white light suddenly erupted, the sound of various guns firing, the wind blew up, the bullets were as dense as flying locusts, and a metal wall was like a metal wall, head-on towards the attacking troops of the ** division.

The bullet hit the armor of the tank and jumped out of a string of sparks, but these behemoths in steel armor were not afraid and continued to advance, bullying the Japanese army without artillery, which did not pose a threat to the armored cluster. Forming a dense formation and marching in unison can minimize infantry casualties.

Equal to being in front of the infantry. To build a metal barrier, Tang Qiusheng only considered the casualties when arranging tactics, and there was another effect, which he did not expect, more than 2,000 tanks were pressed over without fear of bullets. The deterrence and shock of the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army even exceeded the tactics themselves.

The light and heavy machine guns fired by the Japanese army frantically did not help at all, and all the Japanese officers and soldiers on the front-line positions looked at this moving metal wall with fear, and quickly pressed forward, and even some dark bunkers were fired, Japanese mortars. Just fired a shell. At the same time, it was targeted by the guns of several tanks, and the low-trajectory shells directly bombarded the Japanese soldiers and mortars into the air.

Just on the gendarmerie troops. Ito, who personally gave the order to start the "hunting operation", had just put down the phone, all the phones in the war room. They all rang like crazy, startling Ito, and the chief of staff, Major General Kawashima, picked up a phone, and just listened to a sentence, his face turned pale. Dead people are generally ugly.

"Commander-in-Chief, a report was received from the front-line troops. Five minutes ago, the troops of the ** Division, led by no less than 2,000 combat vehicles, launched an attack on the west and north of the Rangoon defensive line, and the forward troops were in a hurry, requesting reinforcements, especially artillery support," Kawashima reported in a trembling voice.

"Hani? ** Division troops launched a full-front offensive on Rangoon? Ito was taken aback, this was a matter of time or time, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, two thousand tanks were dispatched, my Amaterasu God, Tang Qiuli took out all his family resources, this is to break through the first line of defense on the periphery in one fell swoop!

The outer trench no longer worked, and it couldn't stop the tanks of the ** division, and in an instant, the sweat on Ito's face fell, and the staff officers who answered the phone reported the same content, the forward position was in an emergency, and our existing weapons could not block the tanks of the ** division.

Ito's anxious regiment turned, he knew that to deal with tanks, you have to have artillery or anti-tank weapons, but he went to look for it, the entire dispatch army, can't get together a brigade of artillery, the night before yesterday, the artillery bombardment of the ** division artillery destroyed all the heavy equipment of the dispatch army, "Commander-in-chief, the latest report of the forward troops, the tanks of the ** division, covering a large number of infantry, have advanced to more than a thousand meters in front of the outer trench," Kawashima continued to report the unfortunate news.

The outer trench surrounding the urban area of Yangon is Ito's biggest reliance on dealing with the armored troops of the ** division, and now, it has lost its effect, just with the firepower of the forward troops, the first line of defense, like papier-mâché, will soon be broken through, Kawashima saw that Ito was still spinning in circles like a donkey, and he was in a hurry, you wander around for a while, the soldiers of the ** division have all hit the gate of the headquarters!

Kawashima couldn't help but urge, "Commander-in-chief, please give an order to do your best, first, transfer all the troops in the city, reinforce the front-line positions, let go of the tanks of the ** division, entangle with their infantry, and weaken their superiority in equipment, but in this way, the casualties of the imperial army troops will be incalculable." “

"Second, we should order the troops on the front line to immediately abandon their existing positions, shrink into the urban area, prepare for street fighting, and make use of our preset barricades and firepower points.

Kawashima's construction has a certain amount of truth, and it is also the most feasible way at the moment, Ito stopped abruptly and shouted like an oath: "No, I will never give up the front-line position, Chief of Staff Kawashima, order the gendarmerie unit responsible for searching for the scouts of the ** division, and transfer two-thirds of the troops to immediately reinforce the outer trench line." ”

"Order all the troops stationed in the urban area, according to the predetermined plan, rush to their respective defensive areas, and must block the tanks and infantry of the ** division on the line of the outer trench, if that direction is broken through by the troops of the ** division, the commander of the defender immediately commits suicide by disembowelment to apologize!" Ito held back his trembling heart and said as clearly as he could.

Kawashima was speechless, so he relied on the infantry, holding rifles and grenades to fight with the tanks of the ** division? At present, the most appropriate way is to abandon the front-line position, shrink into the urban area, rely on the city's terrain and buildings, and offset the superiority of the tank troops of the ** division, but the commander-in-chief's order is to use the flesh and blood of the soldiers to fight with the tanks of the ** division.

It's terrible, this is almost a suicidal approach, Kawashima still has a few words of persuasion, Ito waved his hand, stopped Kawashima who was full of anxiety, and continued: "Order the front-line troops, organize a standing team, and use the precious lives of our samurai of the Great Japanese Empire to exchange for the destruction of the tanks of the devil Tang Qiuli, and also, transfer the Burmese volunteers to the front-line positions to carry out the same task." ”

"Sue those Burmese volunteers, after they die, they will enjoy the treatment of samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, Kawashima-kun, you have to do this matter personally, the sooner the better, remember, let the Burmese Volunteer Corps launch the first wave of attacks on the tanks of the ** division, and test their loyalty to the Great Japanese Empire!"

To put it bluntly, it is to adopt suicidal means, the soldiers are wrapped in **, treating themselves as a human bomb, and the tanks of the ** division will die together, and the first wave of cannon fodder is Ito's Burmese volunteers formed in Yangon, a group of outright Burmese traitors, that is, those Burmese who Ito claims to be friends of the imperial army.

Maybe, these Burmese traitors, I don't know if they die, what bullshit friends, in the eyes of General Ito, friends are used as cannon fodder and betrayal, as soon as Ito's words fell, Kawashima rushed out of the door at an astonishing speed, drove like crazy, and went to the Burmese Volunteer Corps station.

Can you not be in a hurry? The front-line position has been in an emergency on all fronts, he was on the phone, he had already heard the desperate and crazy shouts of the imperial soldiers, Kawashima admired his boss while flying, "Your Excellency the commander-in-chief, he is worthy of being a famous general of the imperial army, he still has such a hand, the Burmese volunteers, there are more than 18,000 people, the imperial army gives them the best treatment, when purging the Chinese, the imperial army did not stop it, or rather, intentionally connived, these Burmese have made a windfall, it is time to serve the Japanese Empire." ”

"In the world, how can there be a reason to eat for nothing and not work, the only hope is for the front-line troops, support a little longer, give yourself an hour, and find a way to send these friends of the imperial army to the forward position, ten volunteers, fight out a tank of the ** division, this account is still very cost-effective," Before arriving at the Burmese Volunteer Corps station, Kawashima began to pull up the abacus.

In Kawashima's heart, these Burmese volunteers, like two-legged and moving bombs, would have unexpected effects, and he admired Ito more and more.

In less than fifteen minutes, Major General Kawashima's car rushed into the Burmese Volunteer Corps station, more than twice as fast as usual, but things were not as simple as His Excellency the Chief of Staff, as imagined, when Kawashima read out the order of Commander-in-Chief Ito, these Burmese volunteers who were wearing Japanese uniforms and had no Japanese soldiers in their bones, were as pale as earth and timid, and had begun to tremble.

The good days of wantonly robbing Chinese property, raping their wives and daughters, and walking sideways in Yangon City, at the end of the day, the imperial army is letting us go to death, no longer have brains, no longer have military common sense, and know that with their own small body, they go to fight against the big guy who is full of steel, and the result is no suspense, that is a death, can end up with a whole corpse, that is the ancestor manifestation, bless yourself.

Kawashima began to bewitch passionately, "You are the most loyal friends of the Imperial Japanese Army, the most staunch allies, and now, our enemies, want to deprive you of what you have now, the Imperial Army needs your fearless efforts, and I can honestly tell my friends, the soldiers of the Imperial Army, will fight with you." ”

Seeing these scum, or their expressions were blank, their eyes wandered, or their eyes rolled wildly, they couldn't help but shrink back, or their faces were like earth, and they were incontinent, Kawashima gave a bargaining chip, "As the chief of staff of the Dispatch Army, I tell my friends that the volunteers who participate in this battle will be rewarded handsomely, and they can choose two women of their choice from among the Chinese imprisoned in the concentration camps. ”

After speaking, Major General Kawashima looked at these Burmese volunteers with an expectant expression, like looking at the wolfdog he had raised and was about to be released to bite people.
