The 4th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was used as the vanguard of the whole division in the pursuit of the Japanese army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn the fierce battle with the Japanese army, this infantry regiment also suffered a lot of losses, and the casualties of the whole regiment reached one-third. Many of the soldiers were killed in the hand-to-hand battles with the Japanese army. But even so, this regiment still has strong combat effectiveness.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of September 11, the 4th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army encountered the troops left behind by the Japanese army. Thousands of Japanese troops relied on roads and dense forests to build a simple fortification to prevent the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army from pursuing the main force of the Japanese army.

"Commander, the defense line of the Japanese * himself is quite strong, at least five or six thousand people. They relied on the road and the dense forests on both sides to build defensive positions. If you don't defeat them, you won't be able to break through at all. Qin Changdong, commander of the reconnaissance company, reported.

Zong Ronghua, commander of the 4th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division, frowned.

"Ri* himself was willing to leave so many troops behind to stop us. If we eat these troops of theirs in one bite, it will be enough to make them lose a lot. ”

"Forget it, report the situation here to the division commander, and then prepare to attack. The artillery battalion is ready, and the shelling will begin in twenty minutes! Zong Ronghua ordered.

"Yes, Captain."

Twenty minutes later, 18 75-mm field guns of the 4th Infantry Regiment, as well as 6 107-mm heavy mortars, began to fire heavily on the Japanese positions.

With the support of the Americans, all the artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army has been towed by trucks. Although, the transportation facilities in Myanmar are not very good. But as long as it does not encounter mountains and mountains, the speed of artillery will not be slower than that of infantry.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

One cannon after another began to roar, smashing shells into the Japanese positions. The hastily constructed improvised positions did not even dig trenches, but just randomly dug some foxholes, plus machine-gun fire points. Such fortifications were simply vulnerable in the face of the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Boom!" A shell hit one of the Japanese machine-gun fire points, and the entire machine-gun fire point was blown into the sky.

In the face of the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Japanese soldiers could only bury their heads low, keeping their bodies as close to the ground as possible to avoid being killed or hit by shrapnel.

Less than a kilometer from the Japanese defense line was the headquarters of Major General Takery Isomura.

"General, the people of China have attacked. They are shelling our positions with artillery, fiercely. Are we going to fight back? The 124th Wing of the Japanese Army Wing Commander Fukuzawa and Osa reported.

When Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki retreated, he left behind all the remaining artillery of the Japanese army, including 12 Type 94 75mm mountain guns and 14 Type 95 75mm field guns, as well as a large number of Type 92 infantry guns.

In doing so, on the one hand, it is to strengthen the strength of the blocking forces so that they can hold out for a longer time. On the other hand, it is to reduce the burden on the retreating troops so that they can withdraw more quickly. Although, these weapons and equipment were also important for the Japanese army. But as long as people can evacuate, when they have retreated to a safe place, they can get supplies from the rear.

Major General Takery Isomura shook his head: "Let the artillery continue to be silent." Now there is no need for an artillery battle with the China. Wait until the infantry of the Chinese people attack, and then shell their infantry! ”

"Hi, General." Fukusawa and Osa nodded.

The shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army continued. One shell after another, the Japanese positions exploded, leaving craters one after another. Many Japanese soldiers were killed in the shelling because they had no place to hide.

Before the shelling of the 4th Infantry Regiment was over, the 8th Infantry Regiment and the division headquarters arrived. Qin Shou and Xu Feipeng appeared together.

"Army commander, division commander." Zong Ronghua hurriedly saluted his relatives and Xu Feipeng.

"How's it going?" Qin Shou asked.

"Commander, now we are launching an artillery strike on the positions of the Japanese troops. Prepare to launch an attack and break through the defense line of the Japanese * himself in one fell swoop. Zong Ronghua reported.

Qin Shou nodded, and did not interfere with the command of the specific tactics of the troops.

"Commander, the Japanese himself actually left so many troops to stop us. It's a bloody investment! Xu Feipeng smiled. In this battle, the 4th Infantry Division suffered heavy losses. However, they have already eliminated a large number of Japanese troops, and they have also achieved great results. If they can kill the troops left behind by the Japanese army, then they will make the first contribution in this battle.

"Humph! Didn't the Japanese do this to evacuate more troops? However, since they are willing to leave so many people behind for us to deal with, of course you can't be polite. Eat a few thousand of them first, then the rest of their troops, and just eat their troops bite by bite. Qin Lifetime ordered.

"Yes, Captain." Xu Feipeng nodded.

Ten minutes later, the 4th Infantry Regiment and the 8th Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army launched an attack on the Japanese position.

The Japanese artillery began shelling at this moment, in a vain attempt to inflict more casualties on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

However, their plan did not succeed.

Soon after the Japanese shelling began, they were bombed by the air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. A squadron of P-51B fighters and 8 B-24 heavy bombers, patronized the positions of the Japanese troops.

These heavy bombers, as if laying eggs, dropped a dense barrage of bombs on the Japanese artillery positions. The entire artillery position of the Japanese army was shrouded in smoke and fire. When the smoke and dust cleared, it was found that there were no more artillery pieces left on the Japanese artillery positions.

The remaining cannons were not able to escape, and were attacked by the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, and all of them were destroyed in the shooting stars of rockets.

"Damn!" When Major General Isomura Takeliang saw this situation, he couldn't help but scold.

Although the resistance of the Japanese army was very stubborn. However, under the fierce attack of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses.

When the three main infantry regiments of the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, as well as dozens of tanks from the tank battalion, also participated in the attack, the Japanese defense line was quickly penetrated.

When night fell, all but a few of the thousands of Japanese troops fled into the deep mountains and forests, and the rest were wiped out.

However, they also gave the main force of the Japanese army a daytime to escape for their lives. (To be continued.) )
