768.Burning Rangoon (III)

Zhu Ziming and Chennault glanced at each other, "Say." ”

"The command order, the Volunteer Aviation Brigade immediately set off and went to Yangon to assist in the defense!"

Here's news from Chennault's side.

After a while, a soldier also ran over, "Report to the regiment!" The division ordered the 2nd Aviation Regiment to immediately set off with the Volunteer Aviation Brigade and go to Yangon to assist in the defense! ”

"Hahaha." Chennault laughed, "That's the idea!" ”

Zhu Ziming also smiled, "Together? ”

"Let's go, together!"

From Wujiaba to Yangon, the plane will fly for about 3-4 hours, so by the time Zhu Ziming and the others arrive in Yangon, the devil's plane will have already returned. Then at this time, their target is the devil.

……

In Rangoon, the Japanese offensive had begun.

Since the Fifth Army had built positions on all sides of Rangoon, the British were eager for the Chinese to come forward to fight the Japanese, so they built positions behind the Fifth Army.

"Phew! Those Britons are really not things! A soldier spat out and said hatefully, originally, there should have been supplies from the British handed over to them when they came here, but in the past two days, nothing has been sent down, and the soldiers' eyes are bright!

"With us in front, they can't wait for it!" Another soldier looked at the British soldiers behind them and said, "People say that foreign countries are good and foreign countries are good, how can such a group of people be taught abroad?" ”

"Coward!"

"Baby!"

The soldiers of the expeditionary force looked down on the British soldiers hiding behind them. And the British soldiers also looked down on the soldiers of the expeditionary force who stood in front of them.

"Haha, look, two groups of yellow-skinned monkeys are fighting in a while!" A white-skinned British soldier laughed, for them they had already broken their guts by the Japanese army!

In the Battle of the Xitang River, the remaining troops of the British 17th Division fought a bloody way to reach the east bank of the Xitang River, only to find that they were facing a rolling stream of water. Without a way out, the two brigades jumped directly into the raging water, including the Gurkhas, who could not swim. Those who did not have the courage to fight in the turbid current had to surrender, taking prisoners as many as 1,100 (including 120 British). Of the more than 8,500 people who took part in the battle, only 3,300 managed to cross the Sitang River in the end, and Churchill lamented: "This is a great disaster." ”

"Hehe, it would be great if they Chinese could defeat those Japanese!" Another warrior smiled, "It's okay, revenge for us!" ”

"Not bad!"

Although the British soldiers were also lying in the trenches, they did not take much seriousness in their hearts, but laughed and laughed, because in front of them, there were soldiers of the expeditionary force.

Dai Anlan looked at the British soldiers behind him, and wanted to jump on them directly, especially, he could understand what this group of people said! He negotiated with the commander of the British army, but the commander of the British army said, since it is to assist in the defense, then we will follow you, we suffered heavy losses a few days ago. It's not that we don't defend, since it's a position, there is always a deep one, and we defend the deep position.

Listening to the sound of gunfire and the laughter of the British soldiers behind him, Dai Anlan's face was not good-looking, but he knew that he couldn't jump on this group of people, otherwise, he would fall into a diplomatic incident between the two countries.

"Division, the devil has at least one and a half divisions of troops."

"One and a half?"

"Hmm!"

After Du Yuming left, Dai Anlan took over the command of the front.

"Tell the brothers, there are devils in front, even if you die, don't let the devils take a position! The sins that the devil has done in our country! Let's get it back here! ”

"Yes!"

The bombing of Japanese planes continued, and at the same time, on the ground, the Japanese mountain artillery had also begun to shoot, and the Japanese soldiers began to attack the ** position. Originally, the heavy weapons of the 33rd Division could not be transported after the bridge over the Xitang River was blown up. As a result, the local Burmese residents helped them build a raft bridge, which was simple and practical, and the Japanese mountain artillery and rapid-fire guns were successfully transported across the river. It's very dramatic, in the eyes of the Burmese people, the Japanese are here to liberate them! The original British are simply a bunch of people who eat people and don't spit out bones!

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the artillery positions have begun to attack the Zhina!"

"Yo Si! The operation in Southeast Asia, the empire is smooth sailing! Truth be told, it's a lot of help from the locals! ”

"Hey! Our Imperial Army is here to liberate them! ”

"Haha! How's the layout in Yangon? ”

"Hey, it's already set in!"

"Yo Si! Then, it won't be long before Yangon will be a port city in our Great Japanese Empire! The materials inside, hahaha, are enough for the imperial army to use for a long time! In particular, the oil of the oil company! ”

"Hey! There's already a brigade heading over there! ”

"Yo Si! I heard that there is a lot of oil stored in the oil tank over there! ”

"Hey! Preliminary estimates, at least 100 million gallons! ”

"Hahaha! When we hit Rangoon, those trucks, oil, and American aid will all be our imperial army! ”

"Your Excellency the Division Commander is wise!"

"Tell the warriors that there is a huge reserve of supplies ahead! Lay down Yangon, and we can have a delicious meal! Presumptuous for one night! ”

"Hey!"

In fact, the Japanese army was not good at jungle warfare, but the Japanese army had a firm mind and a tenacious will to fight, and they also adapted to it. In addition, everywhere they went, in addition to the British and American troops, the local people still welcomed them very much. They didn't feel it anywhere else.

……

The offensive began, and shells continued to fall.

Dai Anlan frowned, before, Zhou Weiguo sent a batch of equipment to the 200th Division, and then, Du Yuming bought a batch of equipment from Zhou Weiguo, it can be said that in terms of heavy firepower, it is still sufficient for the time being.

"Order, after the artillery regiment calibrates the positions of the Japanese artillery, knock them out for me as much as possible, however, also pay attention to air defense! The devil's plane is not so easy to talk to! ”

"Yes!"

On the battlefield, the smoke of gunpowder is exhausted. The sound of bombing was incessant. Fighters are dying every minute.

For a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

To tell the truth, defending Rangoon is equivalent to defending the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which is the main goal of the expeditionary force. They have been resisting for so long, when have they ever seen the aid of the British army?

In the command center, Dai Anlan looked at the map and kept summarizing the information of the soldiers, he needed to know how the devils outside were distributed. As a commander, on the battlefield, it is not necessary to go to the front line, but to find out the enemy's weaknesses and lead the soldiers to victory.

"Master, the devil's strength seems to be increasing." Gao Jiren walked over and looked at Dai Anlan.

"How much? How to increase? Dai Anlan was puzzled.

"It's not clear, but you can faintly see some, and there are still supplies coming from behind the devils."

Dai Anlan frowned, if the Japanese army had reinforcements and they didn't, then they would have a hard time.
