780 Sakagaki's miscalculation

The Japanese fired several flares every 3 minutes and 30 seconds to observe the front line to prevent a sneak attack, but the supplies sent from behind were too small and there was a shortage of everything, and flares were especially insufficient as a secondary possession. Segawa was careful with his calculations, thinking that in this way he could maintain the minimum consumption until the day. Of course, the most lacking thing in the garrison is barbed wire and *, which the Japanese army has always despised *, but barbed wire is necessary for defense, but the weak transportation capacity cannot be transported at all.

Huang Tianyang measured this interval several kilometers away with his solid gold Rolex, which was launched almost to the second. This reveals the rigour, carefulness and rigidity of the Japanese. He calculated the time it would take for his troops to march to the enemy's position, which was about 900 men (he did not know, 600 of them were transferred to build a second line of defense after dark) and 8 heavy machine guns, so the attack plan was hastily decided. He estimated that his 10,000 men were enough to break through the enemy's defenses, so there was no need to waste time and look for a detour in the nearby mountains.

After making a plan, Deputy Division Commander Huang went to the army to solicit volunteers, and almost everyone was willing to take the lead with him. So he prepared an attack group of 2,500 people, but unfortunately the front was too narrow and too many people to deploy, so it was divided into two parts, and he was ready to lead the first attack group of 1,500 people to launch a charge.

The troops covered themselves with bayonets and steel helmets, and then they secretly came down from the hill and moved to an area of a mile from the enemy, and it was time for the enemy to fire flares. The original plan was to lie down as a whole, but an accident occurred, because of lack of experience, the action was not agreed, the enemy noticed that there were some figures in the distance when the flares fell, so its light and heavy machine gun positions carried out several shots, fortunately, Huang Tianyang strictly ordered the troops not to return fire under any circumstances before setting off.

The Japanese army was seriously understaffed, and no scouts could be sent to check it. So there was a stalemate again. The troops waited for a while, and the enemy stopped shooting and firing flares, so they slowly approached in a crawling manner.

The enemy's flares were fired unhurriedly and at the same pace. Of course, if someone ran in front of the position, he would leave a huge number of figures under the flares, but if he crawled forward, the Japanese would not be able to spot a person in the grass a few hundred meters away.

When Segawa's troops arrived, they hastily held the barrier and cleared the firing range, but they could not clear the grass and trees in front of the position. The vegetation is so abundant that there is no yellow root in the New Year, and the Japanese can't light it even if they try to set it on fire. Now these half-human-tall artemisia grasses have become a deadly hazard.

Seeing that they were almost close, after waiting for the enemy flares to fall, Huang Dashao and his brothers rushed to the enemy position. For the sake of the concealment of the offensive, he even gave up the cover that 12 mountain guns in the rear could provide. He and his men with bayonets on their shoulders, carrying *, rushed to the enemy machine guns.

It was impossible for a charge of several thousand men to go completely undetected, and the Japanese immediately noticed that there was an unusual movement in front of the position, and hurriedly asked the brigade headquarters.

Huang Tianyang explained to the troops that they were not allowed to fight back until he fired signal flares. His orders were simple and to the point, and under these rough deployments, the crumbling plan was successfully executed.

Deputy Division Commander Huang didn't think about who would fire the flare if he fell, and then the whole attack would be a mess. He has always grown up in an environment where the stars hold the moon, and he never thought that a bullet could hit him. In fact, he simply looked down on the Japanese commander opposite. No one looks down on him in this life, he only admires one person, and that is Chu Tingchang.

Aware of the danger, the Japanese troops immediately fired flares, and when the flares fell, the 300 Japanese soldiers on the front line were stunned for a while, and saw the figures in front of the position, like a dense forest approaching. The flares left at least four shadows under the feet of each Chinese soldier, invisibly magnifying the number of Huang Tianyang's troops.

The dense crowd had arrived. Close enough to move in the direction of the machine gun, it is difficult to keep up with the lateral transfer of the enemy, close enough for the enemy to run into the minimum range of the grenadier, close enough for the enemy* to throw in front of him.

The Japanese machine gun rang out, and Huang Tianyang's troops lay down together.

Huang Tianyang took out a flare gun from his arms and fired a blue flare into the sky, which was different from the red flare of the Japanese army. This is for the rear artillerymen. Before the attack, he anticipated two possible scenarios, the first was that if a charge successfully took the trench, then there would be no need for artillery to participate. The second is that the offensive may not go well, then artillery support is needed.

In short, in his mind, no matter which way it was possible, he could successfully take the enemy's first line of defense, and then take advantage of the victory to take the second line of defense that had not yet been built. What he didn't know was that he had actually taken shit luck, and there were only a third of the enemy on the position. Otherwise, his reckless plan may not succeed.

The rear M1 mountain guns began to fire, these mountain guns hid in the hills, firing in a direct manner, and the Japanese fired flares all night, and the flares were sometimes blown towards their positions by the easterly wind, which helped the artillerymen to easily identify and aim at the target. The artillery began to fire, all at the enemy's heavy machine-gun positions in front of the sight. These 92 machine guns are too bulky and not easy to transfer, so even in the dark, the artillery can still fire according to the preview position.

At one time, 8 heavy machine guns were smashed and 6 were smashed. During this period, countless * dumplings fell into the enemy's trenches, and the rest of the enemy's machine-gun fire was instantly suppressed, and within thirty seconds, there was no heavy fire on the defensive front of a brigade.

Huang Tianyang was the first to stand up.

"Follow me, brethren."

He carried Thompson and rushed heroically towards the enemy. The crowd got up and followed him to attack. In this effort, the artillery turned their fire to the rear of the enemy's position, and they could not see the target, but they knew that they could not cause chaos to the attacking troops at this time, but they could hit the rear target, and as for what they could hit in the dark, it depended on luck.

Seeing the fierce battle ahead, the devil who was digging a pit on the second line immediately threw a shovel and picked up his gun, rushed to the front, and fell into the fire net extended by the artillery. Huang Tianyang has walked a lifetime of shit luck, and obviously will continue to walk.

The 203rd Division quickly rushed into the trench and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese army, but the garrison Japanese army had lost the ability to resist, and the 203rd Division quickly cleared the enemy in the defensive line.

Huang Tianyang led a platoon to rush into the enemy's communication trench, and he stood straight and strafed the Japanese troops who rushed in front of him and wanted to stab. No Japanese man could hold up to him. He didn't make too much detail in terms of infantry and artillery coordination. However, the 75 Mountain Artillery Position could see the combat area where tracer shells were flying indiscriminately, and they could see that the combat area was advancing in depth through the firelight, so they aimed at the darkness behind this area to strike. There were no flares, and not half of the enemy could be seen, but enemy rescue troops were rushing towards it, and all of them fell into the net.

Five kilometers away, Kagesa Yoshiaki, who arrived in an American jeep, found that the front had already exchanged fire, he ordered the convoy to stop, and then carefully discerned the sound of the firefight, which sounded like the enemy had the upper hand, and concluded that the Segawa brigade was about to collapse. Hurriedly ordered the troops to turn around and go back, the last obstacle in the Shan State Plateau was lost, and in the plains, he and his men could not form a defense at all. In other words, Chu Tingchang's two people arrived in a blink of an eye. He predicted that Commander Sakagaki's half-life wisdom would probably be planted in Mandalay. Although the offensive of the 74th Army was chaotic, the defense was quite tenacious, and that tenacity was shown in the defensive battles of Songshan and Longling, and Sakagaki regarded Zhang Lingfu as a waste like the Jin Sui Army, and it was obviously a little light on the enemy.

Now the worst-case scenario is that the troops may have to withdraw to the south, Burma and Thailand are connected by mountains and rivers, and it is not easy for Chu Tingchang to cut off the retreat of 100,000 Japanese troops here, but when Kagezo Zhenzhao and Makino set a strategy to deal with Chu Tingchang, the most important one is to avoid the coast and face off with Chu Tingchang in the far inland, which is of course to avoid the reconnaissance advantage of the enemy's nuclear submarines.

Makino's preliminary estimate is that the reconnaissance energy of 419 can radiate 300 to 400 kilometers, which is the conclusion reached by Makino after studying Chu Tingchang's campaigns in northern Burma and the East Indies.

The prestige of the Chu army was actually made in the East Indies, which was very close to the coast. Those supernatural transfers are almost omniscient demon commanding, and of course, the inexplicable sinking of the Japanese battleship can also confirm that he has received the maximum support. Relatively speaking, in northern Myanmar, Chu Tingchang's performance was much inferior, from the retreat of Moneva to several counterattacks in the Hukang Valley, he seemed not so demonic, but was almost bitten to death a few times, which was quite hanging.

Huang Tianyang's troops continued to develop in depth, and the artillery base also stopped. The exchange of fire on the position also subsided.

Commander Segawa was killed at the last minute by almost the last shell of the Chinese artillery, and the Japanese resistance gradually stopped, but the Chinese troops still fought vigorously for several minutes, and finally found that it was due to poor communication, and the two groups of people fired at each other for a while. Let this kind of undertrained troops fight at night, it is true that only Huang Tianyang can come up with it whimsically, this is the battle with the highest accidental injury rate in Chu Tingchang's troops. According to military law, Huang Tianyang's blind command is enough to shoot the crime, but Chu Tingchang now needs him and his recruits to Weiguan Yuanliu from the flank, so that Zhou Youfu has the opportunity to annihilate the 4th Division, naturally he will not be investigated, in addition, Huang Tianyang's uncles in the rear are giving speeches and throwing money everywhere, and they have just gone to Yan'an.

Huang Tian sent a report to Chu Tingchang, reporting that the troops had rushed out of the Shan State Plateau, and there was a smooth road ahead, and Mandalay was close at hand. He suggested in a telegram that his troops attack Mandalay directly, rather than taking a long detour to outflank the rear of the 4th Division, opening a passage for Zhou Youfu's 202nd Division.

Chu Tingchang's nose was almost crooked, Huang Tianyang didn't learn to leave his allies and eat alone, but he learned very quickly, and he really regarded himself as a diamond that could do any job.
