Chapter 187: The Mantis Arm as a Car

Nay Pyi Taw, an important city south of Mandalay and north of Yangon. Of course, the status of Myanmar at the moment is only slightly higher than that www.biquge.info of ordinary cities. It will be a few decades before it replaces Yangon as the capital of Myanmar.

Of course, in this plane, such a thing should not happen. After the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army took control of Burma, the indigenous people of Myanmar naturally did not have the opportunity to establish their own country.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army marched south from Myitira, and the first city to be conquered was Naypyidaw. At present, the Japanese troops stationed in Nay Pyi Duo are the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army. A full-strength division drawn from the 18th Front Army of Thailand, Lieutenant General Miharu Oshirodo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the people of China are only a few dozen kilometers away from Naypyida. It is expected that they will arrive here tomorrow. Your Excellency the Commander orders us to hold on to Naypyidaw. Relying on the buildings here, fight a street fight with the people of China and consume the vitality of the people of China. The people of China were supported by the Americans, so the firepower was strong. The troops led by General Aoki before suffered the loss of the Shina people in this regard. We should take the lesson to heart. Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji said, looking at the officers under his command.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The chief of staff of the division, the commander of the three main infantry wings, the commander of the artillery wing, the commander of the engineer, baggage and cavalry brigades, all replied.

"This time, the priority is to kill and injure the living forces of the people of China. It would be a great success if we could fend off the attack of the Chinese here, and let them suffer heavy losses. Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji continued.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, do we need to defend here? Do you need to fight to the last soldier? Wing Commander of the 84th Infantry Wing, Tokinosuke Fukano, asked.

Lieutenant General Sanji Ojodo shook his head: "It's not a dead guard. We are only the first force to stop the Chinese people. In the back, there is also the 15th Division, which is independently mixed into the 29th Brigade. The Chinese people are strong, and it is difficult to defeat them by relying on our division alone. But if only we can inflict enough damage on them. As soon as the situation is not in our favor, we can request a retreat. ”

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Tokinosuke Fukano nodded.

Do you still have any questions? If not, so be it. Let's go back and get ready. Tomorrow will be the battle in which our 22nd Division will become famous. "Lieutenant General Sanji Ojodo is undoubtedly full of confidence in this battle.

Although, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was very strong. It was so powerful that many generals of the Southern Army were discolored. However, Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji also considered his troops to be elite troops. Once the war with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army starts, they will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the other side and win.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The senior officers of the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army nodded and saluted, and then left the office.

At this moment, Naypyidore has been completely controlled by the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army. The inhabitants of the city, after being forced to help the Japanese army finish the work, have been driven out. The Japanese built countless fortifications throughout Nay Pyi Taw, almost turning the city into a fortress.

Lieutenant General Masafumi Yamauchi, the acting commander of the Burmese Front, and in a telegram to General Toshiichi Terauchi, claimed that Naypyidore had become an impregnable city. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wanted to conquer this city, it would have to lose at least 50,000 people.

It can be seen that the Japanese army is undoubtedly very relieved about the defense of Naypyida.

Unfortunately, the Japanese built a large number of fortifications in Nay Pyi Do. However, these fortifications were nothing more than civil structures. The Japanese army lacked materials such as steel and concrete, so they could not be expected to use them to build strong fortifications. Such a civil fortification would work against the Chinese* army, which lacked heavy weapons, or the Burmese guerrillas. However, against the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it was far behind.

You must know that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army led by Qin Shou learned American tactics, that is, to destroy all enemies with powerful firepower and avoid their own casualties as much as possible. Any enemy that can be dealt with with shells and bombs will never let the soldiers take risks, let alone fill it with human lives.

This also enabled the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to fully exert its firepower superiority after receiving US assistance. It is simply wishful thinking that the Japanese themselves want to use that old-fashioned tactic to deal with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. When the time comes, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will use powerful firepower to show them that the current war has changed dramatically from before. is still stuck in the previous day*, and he can only bully the backward Chinese army.

On the morning of September 29, the main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army arrived less than ten kilometers from Naypyidaw. Qin Shou did not order the troops to attack immediately, but gathered intelligence first. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles.

Soon, Qin Shou's hands had Naypyida's information. The thousands of people of the reconnaissance brigade have long been scattered. In the Nay Pyi Duo direction, there are also their people. The fact that the Japanese army wantonly requisitioned the local natives to build fortifications in Nay Pyi Taw was not hidden at all.

"Humph! It seems that the Japanese * himself intends to use the fortified castle to resist our attack. But alas, Naypyitol was never a fortified city. This is true even these days* after I have been stationed. Qin Shou snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"Commander, please give the order. Heavy artillery brigades can bombard Naypyidaw. "Yu Fei, commander of the heavy artillery brigade, asked for battle.

Although, the artillery of the heavy artillery brigade was all towed by trucks. However, Burma's transportation made the heavy artillery brigade suffer a lot along the way in order to pull the artillery to southern Burma. Now, it is not easy to pull the cannon up, and it is natural to let those days * himself taste the power of the cannon.

Qin Shou nodded: "Since Ri* himself wants to use the mantis arm as a car, then let's crush them." The artillery regiments of the heavy artillery brigade and the infantry division were deployed, ready to shell Naypyidaw. Let the fighters of the air force also set off and bombard Naypyida. Didn't the day* himself want to hide in the city and hold on? Then let those days* themselves, along with the city, be razed to the ground! ”

"Yes, Captain." The generals of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army received orders one after another.

72 155-mm heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery brigade, 155-mm heavy howitzers and 105-mm light howitzers of the infantry regiments, were deployed. They set up artillery positions only five kilometers from Nay Pyi Do. The entire city of Naypyidó was included in the shelling range. (To be continued.) )
