409 Viva Charge

Seeing that the Japanese troops on the position saw that the nearby forts were destroyed and made a mess, Ma Qiang pulled the trigger. You can watch a burst of fire fly towards the target from the scope, but then it starts to deviate noticeably to the right. The distance is too far, the flight time of the bullet is too long, and the trajectory of the bullet is still unpredictable.

A single shot knocked down the gunner who was standing on the side, almost breaking the whole person in two, and the dead man was already on fire when he reached the ground. The result was not satisfactory, but at least it can be counted as a hit in the hit rate statistics. He smiled wryly, corrected a little, and shot again. I saw it missing again. After hitting the cannon this time, you can clearly see a flash of fire crashing into the sky. Is this a hit?

"Grandma's." Ma Qiang scolded and readjusted the position of the shoulder against the shoulder, I don't know if it was the wound on the shoulder that caused the inaccuracy. So I shot again, but I missed again, it was so far away that the wind between the two mountains was almost impossible to measure. This can be seen from the small Japanese flag planted on the opposite battery, changing the direction of fluttering.

The Japanese on the battery noticed that something was wrong, and then saw the third bullet that flew brightly. They began to look for concealment and shoot indiscriminately, not realizing that the purpose of the person on the other side was to detonate the mess of ammunition around them.

Ma Qiang took a deep breath and shot again, this time finally blindfolded, a strong mountain wind, swept the ammunition and deviated to the right obviously, hitting the target he was aiming at, another pile of ammunition, instantly detonating the entire platform. He could clearly see that several Japanese soldiers were blown up and abandoned, and the giant cannon was blown off the trunnion and rolled down. Pressed a few Japanese soldiers hidden in the corner underneath.

He completed the task and evacuated the position, and then it was up to Chu Aiyun.

The synthetic battalion troops were already on the way, and they quickly rushed towards Sittwe Airport, and the time was just right.

Small groups of Japanese troops had already appeared outside the airfield, and several exchanges of fire with the British troops had been fought, and the fighting was not fierce for the time being, because the Japanese were actually only responsible for artillery observation, guiding the two cannons to fire in turn, and blowing up the defenses around the airfield. Even though the Air Force had ascertained that there were two fortress guns in the hands of the Japanese army, Lieutenant Colonel Gael, who was stationed at the airfield, constantly reported being attacked by battleships.

The British troops in the base began to blow up the planes and oil depots, ready to flee at any time, but suddenly, the enemy shelling stopped. The Japanese troops who were waiting for the attack nearby received the order to quickly occupy the airfield, they only had a few 75-mm mountain guns, and there was not much ammunition, but the order from the upper peak came down and immediately launched an attack. They knew that the British were afraid of hand-to-hand combat, especially at night.

When the Japanese soldiers shouted from the barbed wire fence around the airport, they were stopped by British machine guns. But it was quickly suppressed by Japanese grenadiers and distant mountain artillery. The demolition team quickly blew up the barbed wire. A few hundred meters away, the British soldiers saw the bayonets shining in the moonlight, and the hearts of the soldiers began to waver, they knew that the Japanese army was moving, but they could not see the number of opponents clearly.

The searchlights swept through the bright light in an attempt to indicate the target for the machine gunners, but the Japanese were prepared, and the rear mountain guns and sharpshooters quickly destroyed the lighting equipment and the supporting power supply equipment. In the dark, the Japanese began to charge.

Hundreds of rifle-only infantry rushed directly through a few hundred meters wide field consisting of two runways and an open space in between, without encountering effective fire.

The Japanese took advantage of the heights of the occupied perimeter to use mountain artillery to shoot at the British firepower points that dared to be exposed, clearing the way for the infantry, and the infantry charged like crazy in front. The skirmishers were less than 100 meters away from the main building of the airport. When it came to the first line of defense built by the British army relying on temporary buildings on the side of the runway, the Japanese did not stop, threw a round*, and rushed in directly. The British troops in the trenches immediately retreated. Most of the British soldiers who were stabbed to death by the Japanese were bayonets in the back. The Japanese followed closely behind the rout, so that the second line of defense of armored vehicles, which was hidden in the concrete machine fort, was obviously strafing their own men first, and the shorter Japanese were completely hidden behind the British. Seeing that you can't fight, it's better to run; As a result, the second line of defense also began to show signs of vacillation.

A flare fell from the sky, then a second and third, illuminating the formation of the Japanese charge at once. Only then did the British commander find that the formation of the Japanese army was so sparse, most of them were running slowly, and the Japanese soldiers carrying heavy machine guns were still far behind, and only two squads were running in front of hundreds of British soldiers.

The first to arrive was Zhou Youfu's reconnaissance company, Chu Tingchang was still observing behind, he couldn't believe that the enemy attacked so hastily, and he was worried that there would be ambushes, so he didn't dare to rush into the chaotic battle situation rashly.

"If you scold an X dog, you have to run." Zhou Youfu scolded.

"Charge side by side, don't let go of a devil, don't care about those cowards who block the guns."

He has worked in the supervision team, and he has seen too many scenes like this, and he knows that at this moment, if he doesn't kill a few of his own people, the defense line will collapse in an instant.

All the reconnaissance vehicles opened fire together, strafing the few poor Japanese troops. The 221 tank was weakly armored and had an open roof, so it could not let the Japanese rush closer, and everyone did not hesitate too much to shoot, suffering those British troops who fled, they had already outrun the Japanese army and escaped the threat, maybe decades later, they could also tell their grandson on their knees about the heroism of the war with the invincible fascists, but now, they were unfortunately in front of Zhou Youfu's machine gun.

Ten machine guns fired together, and where the locust-like tracer bullets passed, the crowd was swept down like wheat harvesting. Gale, the British commander commanding from the terminal, was stunned when he saw this, but he found that the crumbling line seemed to be solid.

When Brooke jumped onto the tank, he was looking ahead with a telescope from the turret.

"Zhou Youfu went crazy, he ...... He was shooting the Allies. You have to stop him. ”

"Well, I saw it, but it's too late to stop it now." Chu Tingchang said calmly, as a person from the future who had crossed over, he was also shocked by this scene, but obviously this was not the time to pursue this kind of thing.

"So who, I also advise you, don't yell at Zhou Youfu in the future. What can't a man like him do? ”

In front of Zhou Youfu, he ran out of bullet chains with a machine gun in the car, but he did not retreat to replace the bullet chain, but took out a DP machine gun from below, directly put the barrel on the armor, grabbed the support with one hand, and rushed over with a shout, ready to detonate the strafing fire of the Japanese army who died together. Against the backdrop of the flares, he was like a god of war, blocking the front, and exerting the power of this armored car, which was very weak in armored firepower, to the extreme.

The Japanese army's night charge has been almost invincible since the Sino-Japanese War. When all soldiers are worried about being outflanked on the back road, they can't help but want to run, and the indomitable bravery of the Japanese army can easily crush the psychological defense line. But at this time, Brooke also noticed that the Japanese troops who were exposed to the wilderness were quickly wiped out, and they were so vulnerable when they charged. In front of Zhou Youfu's chariot alone, dozens of corpses were piled up in one minute.

"Hey, I'm going to attack, don't blame me for standing here and falling to your death." Chief Chu gave Brooke an eviction order. Brooke was forced to jump off the tank. Looking at the majestic Grant, he rushed forward in a loose formation.

"Boss, pay attention to the enemy fire point on the mountain. You've got to shoot there first. Zhou Youfu, who was killing happily on the radio, shouted excitedly, "Tao Mingzhang, are you a fool?" Hit the flare forward, shine a little on the mountain, and don't expose yourself. ”

He's already in charge of the battle.

In the Mandalay headquarters, Du Yuming received the first good news of the day, Chu Ting's troops rushed to Sittwe and blocked the enemy, followed by a protest from the British army, saying that the Chinese army did not distinguish between friend and foe, and shot the British at the airport, causing unpleasant cooperation. The telegram did not mention a single word about the Chinese army blocking the Japanese army

He didn't bother to care about the British protests, and now he has a bigger problem.

The 58th Division moved quickly, and the two regiments near the Lancang River had been assembled and began to move, preparing to take over the position of the 200th Division, but the receiving troops had not yet entered Yunnan, which meant that there would be a very dangerous window period on the east road, which would last about seven or eight days. He had already called Zhang Lingfu, the acting commander of the 58th Division, to remind him that he must act covertly and not be spied on by the Thai army or Japanese spies on the other side, which would cause associations. On the surface, when the 58th Division left, there were still two divisions with 10,000 men guarding it, but those two armies couldn't even beat the Thai army, which was really unreassuring.

He was still uneasy after thinking about it, so he grabbed the phone and asked Chen Zhiping again if there was any situation in the east. Chen Zhiping's answer is still the same as before: the east is very calm and has not changed. In addition, he mentioned that with the most advanced radio detection equipment in the United States, no active radio group was found in the east, and only a few radio signals were found at night, so it was impossible for Japanese troops above the brigade to exist there.

At the same time, the 56th Division's search wing Hirai Usuke Daisa, who was also waiting for the reconnaissance team sent out to report the situation ahead, had been worried that the main force of the 74th Army would stop at the front and sabotage the entire plan.

"Wing Commander, the radio station in front reported that I saw a few lights flickering on the other side of the Lancang River, and a long dragon went to the northwest.

"What? Will there be a fake? "He didn't believe it, the general who commanded the main force would be so big, so arrogant? He has a ghost in his own heart, and he is also worried that others will play tricks. Or is there a trap to deceive aerial reconnaissance, he guesses?

"The reconnaissance team is preparing to cross the river, and there will be definite news back after dawn."

"Prepare the troops, and as soon as the enemy transfer is confirmed, we will go."

At dawn at Sittwe Airport, hundreds of corpses lay down on the ground, eighty percent of them were Japanese soldiers, they took advantage of the night attack, blocked by Chu Tingchang's armored troops, at that time many Japanese troops were in the middle of the wilderness and could not retreat, and were easily strangled by the armored troops. Then Chu Tingchang took advantage of the victory to pursue and pulled out the supporting fire composed of 3 mountain guns on the high mountain. The attacking Japanese army has temporarily retreated, and there is no counterattack again, so I don't know what is bad.

Zhou Youfu's reconnaissance vehicle galloped on the potholed runway that had been hit by the giant cannon, inspecting whether there were any fish that had slipped through the net and were hiding in which corner. Experience taught him that the Japanese army was both tenacious and cunning, and even if they were scattered, they would hide during the day and come out to destroy at night.

The main British positions were lined with stretchers, all of which were seriously wounded waiting to be transferred. The number of doctors here simply did not have time to treat them, and being stabbed with Japanese bayonets was a nightmare for surgeons, involving a large number of internal organs that were difficult to do in field hospitals, and it took an average of several hours for a person. Wounded soldiers who can't wait in line usually die of blood loss within a few hours. British sappers are repairing the runway and preparing to evacuate the wounded after the resumption of airlift. Chinese soldiers have never seen such complete field treatment facilities, they really take human life as human life, in the Chinese army, it is good to be able to suture the wounded easily, because of the lack of medicine, many minor injuries are left with disabilities.
