"Brothers, this time is the first battle after the reorganization of our supplementary regiment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info we have taken advantage of all kinds of advantages, and there is no reason why we can't beat the little devils. Qin Shou's gaze swept over the faces of the officers of the supplementary regiment, and all he saw was full of confidence, which made him very satisfied.

"Next, I announce the battle plan. A raid was launched at two o'clock tonight. The 1st Battalion attacked the front, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, attacking from the flanks. Reconnaissance companies and guard companies serve as reserves. The artillery battalion was well positioned and ready for artillery support. Brothers, the strength of the little devils is much smaller than one of our battalions. We can't defeat them. Qin Shou emphasized again.

It's no wonder that Qin Shou is too verbose, this is really the first battle after the reorganization of the supplementary regiment, and it is related to the future fate of the supplementary regiment, so Qin Shou can't afford not to pay attention to it!

"Commander, just put a hundred hearts. Now our supplementary regiment can be described as strong and strong, and we will definitely be able to kill those little devils in Myitkyina. Sun Changwu, the commander of the 1st Battalion, looked confident.

The other battalion and company commanders also expressed their attitudes one after another, looking full of confidence.

Qin Shou nodded, and didn't say anything more. Although there is still a big gap between the current supplementary regiment and the first-class strong army. However, after a series of fierce battles, it will eventually grow into a first-class strong army. Qin Shou was convinced of this.

As soon as the battle order was issued, the battalions and companies of the replenishment regiment immediately went into action. The three main infantry battalions began to touch Myitkyina.

Myitkyina is located on the banks of the Irrawaddy River, which originates in China and bursts out of the mountains north of Myitkyina. Here, a bend was turned, and a fertile alluvial plain was formed. It also created a favorable topography of Myitkyina, which is surrounded by water on three sides. Myitkyina has also been a strategic point in previous battles.

If it weren't for the current emptiness of the Japanese army's strength in Myitkyina, Qin Shou really wouldn't have the courage to attack here. Not too much, as long as the Japanese army deployed more than two brigades in Myitkyina, the attack of the supplementary regiment would most likely end in failure.

Fortunately, the Japanese army won the battlefield in northern Burma. However, their losses were not small. At present, the Japanese army on the battlefield in Burma has only four divisions. Except for the 18th Division, which is the main division, the other three divisions are all three-unit divisions. The total number of troops is only more than 80,000.

After deducting the losses and the troops that confronted the Chinese* army and the British army, there must not be too many Japanese troops that could be used to encircle and suppress the supplementary regiment.

If the supplementary regiment can successfully take Myitkyina this time, and then expand itself with Myitkyina's prisoners of war and weapons and equipment, they will really have the capital to gain a foothold in Burma. Unless the Japanese mobilized more troops from the front, or from Thailand and Malaya, there was no way to take them.

In Myitkyina, the headquarters of the 2nd Brigade of the 112th Infantry Wing of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, Captain Hirono Yamamoto Hirosa, was a little uneasy. Even though it was early in the morning, he still didn't feel sleepy at all, as if he felt that something big was about to happen.

"Come on, is there anything unusual in the city?"

"Your Excellency, there is nothing unusual in the city."

"The prisoners in the POW camp are honest, aren't they?"

"Your Excellency, the captives seem to have been appointed. One of our squadrons was deployed there and there were no problems at all. ”

A smile on the face of a Japanese officer. In his opinion, those Chinese prisoners were too spineless. If it were the RB army, there would never be so many people captured. They would rather fight to the death and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor than surrender and be captured.

"Well, that's good. Let our people, pay attention to heightened vigilance. Didn't the 18th Division say that there was a stream of troops flowing through northern Burma? If they come to Myitkyina, they must be defeated! ”

The 18th Division had already shared information on the existence of the supplementary regiment with other Japanese units. However, this did not attract enough attention from the Japanese army. They obviously did not think that the rout of an expeditionary force would be able to stir up any storm in northern Burma. And this made the Japanese army suffer a big loss for this.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain." The officer nodded heavily. However, the expression on his face was completely disapproving at all. Although Hirono Yamamoto saw this, he didn't care about it either.

Minutes and seconds passed, and soon it was two o'clock in the morning.

At this time, Qin Shou gave the order to attack.

The three main infantry battalions of the supplementary regiment immediately launched an attack from the dense forest in ambush into the city of Myitkyina.

Although, in order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese as much as possible, they have kept it as quiet as possible. However, three infantry battalions, with a total of 2,500 men, no matter how quiet they are, will make some noise.

When it was only a little more than 100 meters away from Myitkyina, the 1st Battalion was discovered by the Japanese.

"Who?" The Japanese sentries shouted loudly.

However, in response to him was a bullet.

"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out, and the sniper, who had been in ambush for a long time, with the help of the faint starlight, shot off the head of the Japanese soldier.

I have to admit that the performance of the Japanese army's Type 99 sniper rifle is still very good, with a maximum firing range of 3,500 meters and an effective accuracy firing range of 900 meters. At night, of course, the accuracy decreases even further. But even so, hitting the enemy from a distance of more than a hundred meters is not a problem at all.

"Yaga! Enemy attack. ”

The sound of gunfire announced the beginning of the battle, and the officers and men of the replenishment regiment immediately launched a fierce attack.

"Da Da Da!" A Type 96 light machine gun in the Japanese outpost began to strafe, and several soldiers of the supplementary regiment who rushed to the front immediately fell to the ground. The other soldiers also hurriedly lay on the ground.

"What about mortars? Blow out the imp's machine gun for me. Sun Changwu shouted loudly.

Two Type 97 90-mm light mortars had been erected, and after the gunners had aimed at the target, they began shelling.

Two mortar shells, one after the other, flew to the target. However, the first shell missed the target, deviated slightly by a few meters, and blew away only two Japanese soldiers.

However, the second shell accurately hit the Japanese machine-gun fire point, and the entire machine gun fire point was torn apart, and the machine gun was suddenly dumbfounded.

The soldiers of the replenishment regiment, who had been suppressed, immediately rushed forward.

The Japanese army was outside Myitkyina and did not deploy many troops. This made it easy for the Replenishment to wipe them out and storm the city of Myitkyina.
