Thirty-six of the 100 heavy mortars of the three regiments and more than 100 of the 82 mortars were gathered, and these mortars filled the mound. At 2:45 a.m., several units were signaled to be in position, and Huanggang also asked the artillerymen to prepare for the opening of their guns. This town doesn't even have the qualifications to mark the location on the map, only a wall of earth more than one person high, that is, it can block a wild beast or the like to harass the people in the town.

Now there are more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers in the small town, which is really a bit overcrowded. The Japanese soldiers drove all the Burmese people from the town, repaired their positions, and cooked tea for them. Stir up this originally quiet town. Huang Gang was about to order the artillery to open fire, but the Japanese army found many Burmese people dressed in ordinary people's clothes, and hurriedly ordered the attack to be suspended.

Huang Gang knew that if the more than 100 mortars were fired, the Japanese army would definitely suffer heavy casualties, but the Burmese in the town would inevitably be affected, and injuring innocent people was an act that the 90th Army would never allow, so Huang Gang was a little hesitant to launch an attack at this time. However, the troops have surrounded this town, and it is impossible not to attack, Huang Gang thought for a while, and asked people to call Jin Zige, the commander of the armored regiment, and Liu Yuzhu, the commander of the 570th regiment, who were the main attackers.

The two were waiting for the order to attack, and when they heard the signal corpsman say that Brigade Commander Huang invited the two to come over, they didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly came to the mound. After seeing the two of them, Huang Gang said: "Commander Jin and Commander Liu, I was originally going to launch an artillery attack on the Japanese army before the attack, but there were a large number of Burmese civilians on the Japanese position, and the sound of artillery would inevitably hurt innocents, and this artillery could not be fired." Without the cover of artillery, it will be much more difficult for you to attack, and for the sake of those Burmese people, you can't let go of your hands and feet, so how to attack next, you have to make a good calculation. ”

The two glanced at each other, and Jin Zige replied with a bitter face: "Brigade Commander Huang, it's not a big problem to have no artillery support, but our armored regiment still has to take care of those Burmese when attacking, how can we attack like this?" Huang Gang looked at Jin Zige and said solemnly: "Commander Jin, you must not hurt innocents during the battle, this is the military regulation of the Ninety Army." It is inviolable!"

Seeing Huang Gang's serious expression, Jin Zige replied immediately: "Yes, Brigade Commander Huang, the armored regiment guarantees that it will not violate military regulations!" After finishing speaking, he discussed with Liu Yuxuan how to attack. At 3:30 a.m., the belated assault finally began. Without the support of artillery fire, the armored regiment took the lead, pulled out of formation, and rushed towards the town in formation.

British medium tanks, frontal armor also has a thickness of 30 mm, unless armor-piercing artillery is used, ordinary heavy machine guns, mortars really don't care. And the Japanese army retreated here in a hurry, and there was no artillery at all, but with a few mortars and heavy machine guns, how could they block the impact of tanks. The tanks let the heavy machine-gun bullets clank on the armor and continued to advance towards the town.

All tanks and armored vehicles are strictly forbidden to use vehicle-mounted artillery, and all vehicle-mounted machine guns are controlled by the commander to suppress the fire on each fire point on the position by means of point fire. In fact, when the armored regiment began to attack, the Burmese on the position panicked and fled in all directions, while the Japanese soldiers guarding them also focused on the attacking Chinese army and no longer cared about the fleeing Burmese.

The Chinese army did not use artillery, which gave the Japanese the courage to resist, and when they saw the Chinese army's chariots rushing up, they used all their weapons to block the attack under the command of their commander. However, the existing weapons of the Japanese army had no effect on the tanks, and seeing these steel tanks approaching the position step by step, the Japanese commander organized the soldiers to play with human bombs.

The tank car soon rushed to a place less than 30 meters in front of the Japanese position, and behind the tank were more than 20 armored vehicles and soldiers of the 2nd battalion of the 570th Regiment who followed the cover. The Japanese soldiers, who were used as human bombs, saw that the tank truck was very close, and one by one they strapped explosive bags, shouted slogans, jumped out of their positions, and rushed towards the tank.

The armored vehicles and infantry used as cover were guarding against this move of the Japanese army, and when they saw the Japanese soldiers jumping out of the position with explosives strapped to them, they hurriedly turned their guns to these soldiers. Under the blows of countless automatic weapons, these Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the position were knocked to the ground one after another, and some of them were hit by explosive bags, and their bones were lost in an explosion.

But in the dark night, it was difficult to kill all these Japanese soldiers, and some soldiers still rushed to the tank and pulled the explosive packs. In the continuous explosions, several tanks were damaged and stopped, and the remaining tanks rushed directly to the Japanese positions, constantly naming the Japanese with vehicle-mounted machine guns. The Japanese positions were in chaos, and the infantry, which had followed the chariots in a panic, rushed to the positions in one fell swoop.

A hand-to-hand battle on the position began again, and the soldiers of the 570th Regiment rushed up with less than 1,000 people, but the number had already surpassed the Japanese troops on the position, and after the position was broken, the Japanese army had lost their fighting spirit, so soon the Japanese army began to rout in the town. As soon as the Japanese fled, the tanks, under the cover of the infantry, continued to chase towards the town.

The earthen wall of the town, the tank car directly ignored its existence, and more than a dozen tanks made this earthen wall go up in smoke with one impact. At this time, there was also chaos in the town, and those who occupied the houses to resist, those who retreated to the south, those who hid in a corner, and all kinds of situations. The two battalions of the Panzer Regiment and the 570th Regiment were piled up all the way to the south, and although there were also Japanese troops resisting, they were easily wiped out in front of the chariots.

The armored regiment entered the town, and two battalions of infantry in the east and west directions also began to attack the town. The Panzer Regiment had already attracted most of the attention of the Japanese, and the two battalions approached the town with ease, and after firing a few shots at the earthen wall, the earthen wall partially collapsed, and the two battalions also stormed the town. At this time, the Japanese troops in the town were even more unable to resist, and Murata Yuo Osa wanted to continue to organize his subordinates to resist, but he was forcibly carried out of the town by his subordinates to the south.

At five o'clock in the morning, the gunfire and shouting in the town gradually subsided, and Murata Yuo Osa fled south with the remnants of a few hundred soldiers, leaving a battalion of soldiers in the town to clean up the battlefield, and the armored regiment and other troops chased the remnants of the Japanese army south. Two kilometers south of the town, the 572nd Regiment was already in battle for the fleeing Japanese troops.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky of Myanmar has been brightened, and the smell of gunpowder smoke has been added to the originally fresh air, reminding people that there is a life-and-death war going on on the land of Myanmar now. Li Jieli, the commander of the 572nd Regiment who was guarding the position, listened to the sound of gunfire from the town not far away, and felt a little anxious. Chen Guangliang, the commander of the first battalion beside him, was still muttering: "You won't destroy Little Japan, right?

As soon as Li Jieli wanted to reprimand him, he saw the scout trotting all the way over. As soon as Li Jieli was in good spirits, he heard the scouts report that hundreds of small Japanese had retreated to his side. Li Jieli shouted: "Brothers, prepare, little Japan has retreated, and no one can be let go, do you hear?" The officers and soldiers under his command responded in unison: "I heard it, don't let go of a little Japan!"

Immediately the sound of a bullet loading rang out from the position. Ten minutes later, the figure of the Japanese appeared in front of the position. At a distance of 300 meters, the Japanese also spotted the Chinese troops blocking the attack, and someone immediately reported it to Yuo Murata. Yuo Murata shouted angrily: "All charge, warriors, only by rushing to the position of the Shina people can we defeat the Shina people, His Majesty the Emperor's warriors, charge!"

The Japanese officers in the ranks also drew their command knives, pointed in the direction of the defenders' positions, and shouted: "Kill and give!" These Japanese soldiers also understood that if they wanted to survive, they had to rush through the defense line of the Shina people, so they also mustered up their courage and shouted: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Itaza!" and launched a charge towards the defenders' positions. Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, finally the light and heavy machine guns on the position opened fire.

An elite regiment is guarding here, facing only a few hundred remnants of the defeated generals, if this can't be held, the 572nd regiment can all go home and pick up the children. In the face of dozens of light and heavy machine guns, hundreds of submachine guns, and countless semi-automatic rifles, the Japanese charge was a complete suicidal act. In less than ten minutes, there was not a single Japanese standing in front of the position of the 572nd Regiment.

After the ceasefire, the commander of the first battalion, Chen Guangliang, led one battalion to clean up the battlefield, and the other two battalions served as guards. At this point, more than 2,000 Japanese troops led by Yuo Murata were completely annihilated, and the thousands of remnants gathered by the brigade commander Ikeda Shuto also retreated to Menggong Castle and could not retreat. After Huanggang wiped out the more than 2,000 Japanese troops, he asked the division commander Li Yuanhong whether to continue the pursuit of Menggong, and soon Li Yuanhong replied that the whole army retreated to Danglao City for rest.

The 93rd Division repelled the attack of the Japanese Taiwan Brigade and kept the city of Danglao, and the 66th Army, after the arrival of the 210th Division, also withstood the attack of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, and won a small victory, annihilating a wing of the Japanese army. The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army also stopped. At this point, the Yunnan-Burma Highway was no longer in danger, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force could smoothly withdraw its troops to the country.

Just when the 93rd Division defeated the Japanese Taiwan Brigade, the 90th Army Headquarters and the 90th Division remaining in Mandalay City were targeted by the Japanese 16th Division and the Guards Division. The two divisions, with a total of nearly 60,000 horses, plus the 4th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade, under the personal command of the commander of the 25th Army, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fumi, rushed to the foot of Amarabra.

Guarding the city of Amara is the 272nd Brigade of the 90th Division, the 272nd Brigade, under the leadership of the brigade commander Tang Yiqun, has been constantly strengthening the fortifications of the city of Amarapura in these days, and now facing nearly 60,000 Japanese troops, Tang Yiqun did not care much. Tang Yiqun's confidence is based on his complete trust in Wang Haitao, who has led their subordinates to complete countless impossible tasks in the past few years, which is where everyone's confidence lies in the 90th Army.
