"The gun emplacements are ready to fire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info"The battalion commanders of each heavy artillery battalion reported to Yu Fei, the commander of the heavy artillery brigade.

Yu Fei looked at the time, and then asked Qin Shou. Immediately after receiving the order to allow it, the order to open fire was given.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "72 heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery brigade of 155 mm, began to pour shells on Rangoon.

Subsequently, the artillery regiments of the infantry divisions, following closely behind, smashed at Rangoon as if those shells didn't cost money.

Dense explosions rang out inside the city of Yangon. The once prosperous city began to turn into ruins at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the capital of Myanmar, Yangon is the largest and most prosperous city in the whole of Myanmar. However, since the beginning of the war, the inhabitants of the city have fled the city and become an empty city. This allowed the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to fire frantically without worrying about harming civilians. Of course, the life and death of those natives have never been taken to heart by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, the safety of the lives of those Chinese is very important.

Throughout southern Myanmar, hundreds of thousands of Chinese live there. Most of them live in Yangon and surrounding areas.

The artillerymen of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army worked hard and continued to pour shells into Yangon. At the same time, the air force joined in, with B-25 medium bombers and B-24 heavy bombers constantly dropping bombs on their heads, bombing large swathes of the city into ruins.

At the same time, the casualties of the Japanese troops stationed in Yangon City were also rising.

Although this style of play of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army put a lot of pressure on logistics, and consumed a lot of war materials. However, the Americans bear these costs, so that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army does not have to care about this aspect at all. What's more, once Rangoon is taken, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will be able to obtain a port. The support of the United States will be even greater.

After all, a large amount of supplies could be transported directly to Yangon by boat and delivered to the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army without passing through the lofty mountains on the border between India and Burma.

Qin Shou even issued an order in this battle, not to be stingy with materials. A new batch of aid from the United States has already been shipped from the United States and is on its way to Myanmar.

Therefore, the artillerymen naturally did their best to pour the shells on the head of the Japanese * himself with the maximum speed.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is so cool to play. However, their enemy, Ri* himself, was greatly upset. As long as it's a human being, I guess I don't want the shell to fall on my head.

In the underground headquarters of the Japanese army, Major General Sato Weito, the commander of the 37th Brigade, and Major General Masato Oda, the commander of the 70th Brigade, were looking sad.

"Yaga! Damn the Shina people, their shelling and bombardment, and there's no end? Could it be that their shells are really inexhaustible? Major General Sato was angry.

"Sato-kun, I kind of know how the previous troops were defeated by the Shina people. They are clearly using powerful firepower to open the way! No matter how brave our officers and soldiers are, they are flesh and blood after all! How can flesh and blood fight against the shells and bombs of the Chinese people? Major General Oda Masato was very aggrieved.

"Damn the Americans are supporting the China, otherwise, their weapons and equipment are even more backward than ours, how can they have such powerful firepower?" Major General Sato said.

Indeed, if you only rely on the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army itself, there is no way to fight the Japanese army at all. Such a victory with a heap of powerful firepower is even more impossible. But it is a pity that now the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has the full support of the United States. So, these days* themselves are tragic.

What was even more unacceptable to Major General Sato and Major General Masato Oda was that after the reinforcements of the two divisions and two independent mixed brigades of the Japanese army were eliminated by the air force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Southern Army no longer sent troops to Burma. Moreover, he also ordered the two independent mixed brigades to hold Rangoon. This is undoubtedly to regard these two independent mixed brigades as outcasts!

However, they simply couldn't refuse the order of General Shouichi Terauchi. In the hierarchical Japanese* Army, even if they knew that General Terauchi Shouichi would send them to death, they would have no way to refuse.

The frenzied shelling and bombardment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army lasted for a whole day. Under heavy shelling and bombardment, almost the whole of Yangon was reduced to rubble. The Japanese troops in the city were independently mixed into the 37th Brigade and the 70th Brigade, and suffered heavy losses. The fortifications they had built, not to mention, had been destroyed quite a bit.

In addition, perhaps he already knew the fate of being used as an outcast, which made the morale of the Japanese troops in Yangon City low. The will to fight of many Japanese soldiers was dealt a devastating blow.

On the afternoon of October 16, the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army began. Three infantry divisions each dispatched two regiments to storm the Japanese positions in Rangoon. The Japanese army, which had already suffered heavy losses, had no way to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and was defeated and retreated.

Of course, the fierce will to fight of the Japanese army was not completely wiped out even at this time. Some of them still launched a ferocious counterattack.

It's just that, under the circumstances of the general trend, the counterattack of the Japanese army is like a trapped beast fighting, and it is simply self-defeating.

The battle in Yangon City lasted only one day before it ended. By the evening of the 16th, the battle was largely over. A very small number of Japanese troops were compressed on the port line. Although they are still resisting, they can no longer stop the occupation of Yangon by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.

Subsequently, these resisting Japanese troops were also wiped out by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. There were even quite a few Japanese soldiers who jumped into the sea, and it is not known whether they tried to swim away or planned to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

But on the whole, the occupation of Rangoon by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was already unstoppable.

With the fall of Yangon, it marked that the whole of Myanmar had fallen into the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. On the battlefield in Burma, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wiped out more than 250,000 Japanese troops. Although, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also paid the price of more than 20,000 people in this battle. But overall, their strength remains.

In addition, the United States and the Yamashiro government have reached an agreement, and a large number of soldiers will soon arrive in Burma and join the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, making the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army even stronger.

The millions of Chinese in Myanmar can become the support of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the foundation of their survival in Myanmar. After the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army took control of the whole of Burma, everything entered a new stage. (To be continued.) )
