The fleeing Japanese lost their minds and came back the same way to recapture the artillery position. But there was no one on the battlefield except for the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.

Gasping for breath, he walked over to the slapper gun, the muzzle of which was still smoking. His right hand had also been contaminated with a little poison just now, and it was already blistering and stinging, and he was completely controlled by anger, forgetting that he was in great danger. He stood still and looked around. A Flying Tigers P40 fighter hovered in the air, and it did not pounce and strafe, but only made a few dives to observe the Japanese reaction. He hid in a trench on the side of the road and waited for the enemy planes to strafe him; After waiting for a while, the plane did not shoot. The American pilots, also finding that there was nothing to see, left on their own.

Grim-faced, Xiang Jing watched the enemy planes climb up, continued to search the position, and finally came to the center of the position, and found that the remaining shells and * bags were stacked together. He suddenly realized that he was going to be unlucky.

Several machine guns in the hidden place fired together, shooting at those ammunition with tracer bullets, Lao Zhou arranged 3 machine guns, he had to give the Japanese a big firecracker at the end, Lin Linqi reminded him that this position could not be moved, he completely ignored it. In his mind, detonating poison gas is the same as farting, it is nothing more than a gust of wind and it is dispersed, he cannot know that those highly toxic substances seep into the groundwater, or get on the body, and the aftermath is endless, and the human body can lead to a huge risk of carcinogenesis even if it is only exposed to the slightest amount of poison, and he has no concept of this aspect at all.

In the huge explosion, the mushroom cloud formed by the white steam just took off into the air, Lin Xiuxuan saw the explosion cloud rising in the telescope, and could only order all the pursuing troops to retreat, Zhou Youfu, a semi-literate person, didn't know what kind of bird he was playing with, if it rained now, the consequences would be unimaginable, Lin only hoped that the air flow would dilute these poisonous gases quickly. Of course, we must see the good side, Zhou Youfu used the method with the least casualties to eat the enemy's main force. He hurriedly called Zhou Youfu again and asked him not to pick up the weapons and ammunition dropped by the Japanese, at least wait for three or four days, or he would live ten years less if he touched it. And now we must evacuate quickly, so that it does not rain in the afternoon and drench everyone, which may save 20 years of life. Zhou Youfu will be suspicious, he feels that the surname Lin will not make up a nonsense, just to deceive himself and grab those Japanese weapons? Because the surname Lin doesn't have his own basic plate in the synthesis group, it seems that there is no need to do that. His mind was full of such intriguing warlord ideas, but after thinking about it, he decided not to take the risk, so he ordered a retreat. Before leaving, he also used a telescope to observe the struggling Japanese troops under the mushroom cloud, and it seemed that the Japanese had intensified and used something immoral, and the gas mask could not prevent it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be afraid, if it really rained, the consequences would be hard to say.

The fierce battle was in full swing in the distance, and Tao Mingzhang was fighting fiercely with about 200 Japanese soldiers on the other side, but the battle here was almost over, and Lin Xiuxuan couldn't get closer to Zhou Youfu, because this ancestor had created a huge polluted area, and he hoped that at least it would not be mustard gas, but because there was no means of inspection, he was destined to not know what it was, and in addition, he did not have a means of decontamination, in short, things became a little troublesome.

The Japanese command received astonishing information that the crusading force was almost completely wiped out, which meant that the rear of the 15th Army, which was being pursued with extreme strength, had no mobile forces. Iida also has about 16,000 troops directly under the 15th Army, scattered across the 300,000-square-kilometer occupied area, and 15,000 Indian soldiers, who are ready to fight in Assam and cannot be moved. Of course, more importantly, he didn't know what caused this crusade to suffer such a fiasco. The staff officer was expected to be caused by poison gas.

The first report from the military staff said that as Xiang Izusa was advancing along the road, there was an American plane circling in the air, tracking the rear artillery units all the way, and it was possible that the plane dropped a bomb and hit those "special munitions"? This seems to be the only explanation. As a senior general, Iida knew the power of these Lewis gases, especially when they exploded in the center of the troop assembly area, they could almost instantly cover several square kilometers of surrounding areas, and the people in these areas were basically unable to survive. Of course, in actual combat, it is impossible to detonate so accurately, and there is no large enough artillery to deliver a sufficient number of poison gas bombs at one time, but based on the fear of these immoral things, the Japanese army has always attached great importance to the safety of this ammunition during transportation, and usually has a special chemical warfare unit to transport it.

"How could it be so coincidental?" Iida muttered in his heart, "It must be that the position is not well managed, and the enemy planes have found a loophole." ”

He sighed for a long time, since the beginning of the Burma campaign, he has lost nearly 20,000 people, the largest casualty in all the battlefields in Nanyang, the commander-in-chief of the temple is no longer very satisfied, there are many complaints in the call, complaining that Burma has divided too many resources, it seems that there is an intention to change generals, this morning lost six or seven hundred people, still in the rear of the battle line, was injured by his own poison gas bombs...... It's really hard to explain.

Masanobu Tsuji walked in, he knew that the commander was psychologically nested, and continued to chatter and give the commander eye medicine, the destruction of a brigade is nothing to Masanobu Tsuji, what he wants is to quickly solve the Chinese army around Myitkyina, the Chinese have begun to destroy weapons, which was detected by aircraft, he keenly felt that the morale of the Chinese army has begun to waver, and it will be done with a kick.

In the fierce battles between China and Japan in the past, there will definitely be a difficult confrontation period, but in the end, it is usually the Japanese army that grits its its teeth and persists to the end. In the past few years, Masanobu Tsuji has sat in the base camp and read the battle report, and he can clearly feel the conventional battle line. China and Japan both belong to East Asian nations with strong patience, but the Chinese lack a national concept, the army is unorganized, the ruling layer is corrupt, and it is bound to all kinds of internal friction, so they must not survive the well-organized Japanese army with the same ambitions. So he knew that now he had to increase the pressure on the troops in front, and the pressure on the troops would eventually be directed to the Chinese army, accelerating their rout, and the straw that crushed the enemy was coming.

"General, the main forces of the three divisions must be immediately transferred up to deal a heavy blow to the enemy, the air force reports that they are destroying heavy weapons, and there are obviously plans to abandon the city and flee, and it is the right time for the last battle."

"No, the enemy situation has just appeared on the rear road, and now the ammunition of the troops in the front has not yet made up a base, and there is a shortage of food, how to attack?"

"The enemy must be harder than we are, so please don't hesitate. In addition, I have just sent a telegram to Commander Terauchi with a new strategy for India, which he considers perfectly feasible and will give us a large number of troops and supplies. ”

Iida's face sank, and he realized that the big sa in front of him was neither big nor small, and he was used to using the temple to press himself. Within the Army, it is politically correct to let the troops accomplish the impossible, and any talk that doubts the resilience of the Japanese Army is gibberish. Of course, most officers still know in their hearts that people are human beings after all, and it is impossible to completely detach themselves from logistics, eat or sleep, and fight continuously. Iida doesn't know what kind of trick Masanobu Tsuji has smoked, so he won't leave when he arrives here to study the battlefield, and he won't go to Singapore Malaya to see, but he is afraid of Masanobu Tsuji, he knows that Kimura Hyotaro is currently a popular military officer and a crazy supporter of the Indian Raiders, and if he is not active, he may be driven to the reserve in advance to make way for Kimura.

"Well, well, I'll put the 18th Division into battle as soon as possible."

Iida swallowed his anger. Although he had three divisions in front, the losses were all very large, especially the 18th Division, although it was a large A division, fought with the expeditionary force (mainly the composite battalion) several times before and after, and almost disabled 2 wings, which were waiting to be replenished. Now there is no respite.

Masanobu Tsuji returned in a hurry, expecting victory in this battle, because Asano, an expert on military history of World War II, had said that the expeditionary force would collapse at the slightest touch, and would flee into the Hukang Valley on its own, and then he could mobilize his forces westward to attack and defend the chaotic India. Asano's schedule was so full that there was little time for the Japanese to recuperate.

In the afternoon of that day, Japanese planes took off from the airfields of Thailand and Burma and pounced on Myitkyina, the British radar station in the Kachin Mountains was still functioning, and the Chinese and American planes taking off from Kunming and Tingjiang airfields in eastern India took off to intercept them. Type 99 light bombers swarmed in and carried out several bombings of Myitkyina. Because there was no ground target designation, the aircraft simply dropped bombs on densely populated residential areas, causing a large number of civilian casualties.

After deciding on the strategy of moving south, the expeditionary force still did not move, waiting for reconnaissance ahead. Chief Chu was also anxious, but it was difficult to use the information he had to convince the people here, Liao Yaoxiang and the other officers refused to believe that this army still had 4,000 people and kept heavy weapons. They will think, maybe it's just that the troops who are deep in the back are deliberately exaggerating their strength in order to save the main force? In the Kuomintang army, such suspicion was always inevitable.

Myitkyina was in flames, and a few months ago, overseas Chinese poured into the streets to raise money for the expeditionary force to buy trucks and food, and many joined the Nanyang Mechanics to deliver supplies for the expeditionary force. But in the blink of an eye, the army was routed to this point, and now the Japanese planes are also trailing. No one blamed the expeditionary force, but the miserable sight in the market really discouraged the bloody soldiers. Originally, I wanted to fight a war in the south, but I didn't expect to retreat all the way here along the railway, and it would also affect the people here.

After the bombardment, the Japanese army began to attack in several directions, and the Chinese army still had some light artillery fire, and the firepower was still not lost to the Japanese army at the end of the strong crossbow. The Japanese front-line commander sent a telegram back, hoping that the commander would act prudently, especially since the enemy's logistics were currently cut off and food could not be replenished, so it seemed that it would be wiser to surround and not fight, and to repair himself. However, Iida is under strong pressure from Masanobu Tsuji, demanding that he fight hard and eat the enemy in one bite.

The two exhausted divisions fought a battle at Transmoun, south of Myitkyina, with the Japanese advancing a few kilometers with a slight upper hand. The rearguard of the Chinese army retreated to the east bank of the Salween River, and all indications were that the Chinese army would abandon it in a day or two and head north along the river. Of course, this is also what Asano told Masanobu Tsuji with a pat on his chest.
