Chapter Forty-Three: The Last Battle
"Commander, did the Americans really promise that?" The commanders of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army present were all surprised. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a member of the expeditionary force, of course, they knew the power of American-style equipment. In addition to the greater requirements for logistics, in other aspects, it is almost crushing the equipment of the Japanese army! Of course, that refers to the real mechanic, not the castrated mechanic.
Qin Shou nodded: "The Americans promised, and the captured Major Steven, in addition to being a liaison officer of the US military, also served as General Stilwell's adjutant." If we can show our ability to defeat the imps on the battlefield, they will fully support us. After all, after the defeat of the expeditionary force, the situation in Southeast Asia as a whole was already very critical. ”
"Regiment Leader, in that case, then even if we give up this life, we have to kill the little devil!" Sun Changwu said immediately.
"Yes! This battle must be fought, and it must be won! Yu Chengyin also expressed his position.
Several regiment commanders have asked for battle. Even though, they know that the enemy is strong. It's very difficult to defeat the enemy. However, they also knew how much benefit it would be for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army if they could win this war.
Seeing the performance of these group leaders, Qin Shou was very satisfied. At least, they weren't scared by the strength of the enemy. In that case, he would not be qualified to become a high-ranking officer of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army at all.
"Brethren, it is undoubtedly best that you can have this fighting spirit. And, this time the little devil is menacing, and we are not without a chance. The two little devils in the north and south arrived at Myitkyina at different times. The little devil in the south will arrive the day after tomorrow, but the little devil in the north will not be able to arrive until three days later. So, we have every chance to break them. Deal with the little devils in the south first, and then kill the little devils in the north, and win the battle cleanly in one fell swoop. ”
"Commander, then our chances of winning this battle are undoubtedly greater." The faces of several regiment leaders undoubtedly looked a lot better. Before, they were all going to fight hard. Now it seems that their chances of winning are undoubtedly very good.
"Now that time is pressing, I will stop talking nonsense and make deployments immediately. The 1st and 2nd Regiments began to cross the river this evening, crossing the Irrawaddy River, preparing to meet the little devil's southern troops. The other ministries held on to Myitkyina. If we successfully defeat the little devils in the south, we can prepare to attack the little devils in the north. If there is an accident, then we will have to fight the little devils in Myitkyina. ”
"Commander, what about us?" The commander of the 3rd regiment, Chen Dehai, quit.
"Commander, what about our artillery regiment?" Yu Fei's face was also full of anxiety. Their artillery regiment has just gotten 54 105mm howitzers and 12 150mm howitzers from the little devil's arsenal, and it is time to prepare for a big fight.
"There are only more than 2,000 little devils from the south. Do we need all our main forces to be dispatched? In that case, I think I would be too proud of the little devils. At the same time, our main forces were exposed, didn't this make the little devils wary?
Well, this battle, and there will be fighting. All the ministries will be on the wheel. Now, we must step up the training of our troops and strive to display the strongest combat effectiveness on the battlefield. This time it's a big battle with the little devil, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may lose your life. ”
Qin Shou emphasized that war is not child's play, and there is no chance of a restart. Once on the battlefield, if the training is not in place, it is possible to lose a small life.
"Yes, Captain." Several regiment commanders replied in a loud voice.
Subsequently, the 1st and 2nd regiments began to prepare. There are no bridges on the Ayeyarwady River today, so if you want to cross the river, you have to rely on ferries. Fortunately, after the Japanese occupied Myitkyina, they collected and built a lot of ferries, in addition to some of them for manpower rowing positions, and some of them were driven by diesel engines.
In order to avoid being spies by the Japanese army, reconnaissance planes in the air had already discovered that the 1st and 2nd regiments of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army waited until after dark to start crossing the river.
Two regiments, more than 9,000 people. With their gear, if you want to cross the river, you'll have to spend a busy night. In addition, Qin Shou also personally crossed the Irrawaddy River and took the guard battalion across the river. More than a thousand men of the guard battalion will serve as a reserve for this battle.
On the morning of June 8, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army crossed the Irrawaddy River. However, the two regiments were not together, and Qin Shou had already made arrangements.
"There are more than 2,000 little devils, and the combat effectiveness is undoubtedly very strong. But let's not be complacent. After changing to an all-Japanese weapon, our combat effectiveness has also improved a lot. What is lacking now is just training and running-in. Fortunately, our troops are all made up of veterans. They have all been tempered by the war, and they will not pee their pants in fear when they hear the sound of gunfire like those new recruits. Qin Shou had a smile on his face, as if he was full of confidence in the next battle.
Qin Shou's state also affected Sun Changwu and Yu Chengyin, and their originally tense faces also slowed down.
"This time, we are not only going to defeat the little devils from the south, but we also want to destroy them as much as possible. These little devils, if they let go, they will soon be rearmed and pose a threat to us. Therefore, only the dead little devils are good little devils. ”
"Haha, the commander is right, only a dead little devil is a good little devil."
"Yes! It would be great if all the little devils died. ”
"There will be a day like this. I promise you that one day, we will lead you to the land of the little devils, pull their emperor out of the palace with our own hands, kill him, and comfort the dead compatriots! Qin Shou assured.
Sun Changwu and Yu Chengyin nodded again and again. Although, now it seems that such a goal is somewhat too unrealistic. However, they believed that Qin Shou would definitely be able to create miracles.
"In this battle, my plan is for us to put on a posture of fighting against the odds and let the little devils take the initiative to attack. The 1st Regiment deployed along the Irrawaddy River to build a defensive line. The 2nd Regiment was hidden in the mountainous forest to the east. After the little devils were on our defensive line and suffered heavy losses, the 2nd Regiment fought out from the flank and rear of the little devils and cut off their rear roads in one fell swoop.
The whole plan, albeit simple. However, it will be a test for us. I hope we can win this battle! ”
"Yes, Captain." Sun Changwu and Yu Chengyin nodded solemnly.
