Chapter 174: Blowing Up the Little Devil

On September 12, when the sun jumped over the eastern horizon, the Japanese stopped building fortifications. Tens of thousands of Japanese troops www.biquge.info spent one night building a ring of fortifications on the edge of their control zone.

Because of the urgency of the time and the lack of materials. The Japanese fortifications were nothing more than a zigzag trench on which some machine-gun fire points were built with earth and rock. Some grenadiers were distributed inside the trenches. Other than that, there is nothing else.

Such fortifications are undoubtedly extremely rudimentary, just like papier-mâché. For the Japanese army, it was more of a psychological comfort.

The Japanese soldiers, who had been tired all night, fell crookedly in the trenches, sleeping with their heads covered. Days of running for their lives, coupled with the construction of fortifications, had exhausted them enough.

At the same time, on the positions of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. Qin Shou had already gotten up and summoned the commanders of several infantry divisions of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to discuss how to deal with the remaining Japanese troops.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the battle has reached this point, and there is not much time left before it ends. As long as all the Japanese troops in the encirclement are eliminated, we will be able to win this decisive battle. As long as the Japanese army no longer sends troops to Burma, it will not be able to pose a threat to us. Myanmar will become our area of control. Qin Shou said confidently.

Of course, Qin Shou also knew that it was almost impossible to get Ri* himself to abandon Burma and no longer send troops to Burma. How could they possibly abandon Burma? This is not only related to Japan's overall strategy of hegemony and full power, but also has a bearing on the security of the remaining territories in Southeast Asia. Once the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army gained a firm foothold in Burma, it did not need to think about it to know that it would inevitably pose a threat to other areas occupied by the Japanese army, and even directly attacked. This makes it impossible for Japan to abandon Myanmar at all.

"Commander, there are only forty or fifty thousand people left in the remaining days. Although there are a lot of troops, they can only fight at most half. Let's attack. As far as the fortifications they have built, I am confident that I will be able to break through with one attack. Chen Dehai, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, immediately asked for battle.

"Yes! Captains. The strength of the day * himself is already very weak now, and it will not take much to eliminate them. Yu Chengyin also suggested. Everyone hopes that these days can be resolved as soon as possible.

In this decisive battle, they faced more than 100,000 Japanese troops. Wherever you put it on the battlefield, it's a very powerful force. However, in front of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it only took them a few days to wipe out most of the Japanese army. The rest of the Japanese army is now surrounded here, and it is only a matter of time before they are annihilated. All of this was something that no one had ever thought of before.

"I know that the current Japanese army is on the verge of extinction. However, let's not forget that the Japanese are a very paranoid people. They have no other abilities, and their ability to trap beasts is undoubtedly very strong. Although they are in a desperate situation, they dare to fight hard. If we launch an attack, we will just follow their wishes, and we will inevitably encounter a full-scale counterattack from them. When the time comes, it will only increase our casualties. Qin Shou shook his head.

The victory of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in this decisive battle is already a sure thing. Under such circumstances, Qin Shou was thinking about how to minimize the losses of the troops.

After all, defeating the Japanese army and taking Burma was only the first step in their rise. There's still a lot of big battle to be fought ahead!

"Commander, if the time drags on for too long, will it give Ri* himself a chance to take advantage of? After they knew about the situation of the Burmese front, they must have sent reinforcements to Burma. Sun Changwu was a little worried.

Now the 1st Infantry Division is stationed east of the Mu River, and if Japanese reinforcements arrive, they will surely bear the brunt of it.

"It's a possibility. However, I bet the Japanese army will not last long. Those Japanese soldiers who were surrounded, when they fled, not only gave up their heavy weapons, but even gave up their baggage. This means that they don't even have food. At most, they took the dry rations that the soldiers carried with them. How long will they be able to last with those dry foods? When the time comes, the hungry will not even be able to stand up, let alone fight us. We will destroy them without much effort. A hint of hideousness flashed in Qin Shou's eyes. Naturally, he will not let go of these days* himself, and at the same time, he also hopes to be able to solve these days* himself at the lowest cost.

Several division commanders nodded their heads again and again, this was indeed the best way to eliminate these Japanese troops.

"Also, I can't just surround them. Artillery and aviation, to shell and bomb the day * himself. It would be great if all those Japanese could be killed directly with shells and bombs. Qin Shou continued.

"Yes, Captain."

A few division commanders immediately went to arrange it. The artillery regiments of the divisions, the artillery battalions of the regiments, and even the infantry artillery batteries of the battalions were all pulled out, ready to use artillery shells to wipe out these days* themselves.

At 8 a.m., the shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army began. The four infantry divisions, which had solved more than 100 howitzers of caliber of more than 100 mm, more than 200 field guns of 75 mm, more than 200 Type 92 infantry guns, and mortars of various calibers, began to pour shells on the positions of the Japanese army.

Because the area of control of the Japanese army is not large, it can be said that the entire area of control is completely shrouded in the range of the artillery of the anti-Japanese salvation monarch.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Fierce shelling sounded, and shells whistled towards the Japanese positions. Explosions exploded on their positions, blowing up large craters of various sizes.

From time to time, Japanese soldiers were killed, and stumps and broken arms flew everywhere.

The Japanese army, which lacked heavy weapons, could only grit its teeth and struggle to support itself in the face of the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. At the same time, pray to Amaterasu and pray that the cannonballs will not fall on their heads.

When the artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army began to exert its might, the air force was also not idle. Three squadrons of P-51B fighters, escorting 24 B-25 heavy bombers and 12 B-29 heavy bombers, appeared over the battlefield.

"Prepare to drop the bomb!" With the order of the commander of the air force, Xu Huansheng, 36 bombers opened the bomb magazines and began to drop bombs on the Japanese positions. One bomb after another rained down on the Japanese positions. A large area was completely shrouded in smoke and smoke.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! "Those fighters also used the rockets they carried to attack the Japanese troops on the ground. After the rockets were fired, they were directly strafed with aviation machine guns, causing further casualties to the Japanese troops. (To be continued.) )
