Chapter 883: The Sense of Superiority Is Gone!
On the 25th, Stilwell failed to convince Admiral Alexander, even though he said that he had spit, and the most important thing was that he could only see Slim now, and Alexander would not even see Stilwell.
On the night of the 25th, the British army officially ordered the withdrawal of the whole army to India; At the same time, the Japanese 56th Division crossed Laika, turned near Manshan, and headed straight for Kong Haiping, 170 kilometers south of Lashio; The devils on this road gathered more than a hundred trucks, accompanied by a large number of tanks; Behind them, a large number of devil infantry gathered here, waiting for the other devil to converge; The huge 56th Division was very determined to take Lashio.
The night in Burma could not stop the devil's determination to capture Kong Haiping, where there was only half a regiment of defenders, and it was also a unit of the newly formed 28th Division.
This unit, which was adapted from the military commander's special unit, usually occupies the people who are the military commanders, and no matter where they are, they are all powerful, and their specialty is to deal with their own people, not whether this own person is elite or not, and the sense of superiority formed for a long time makes them forget their combat effectiveness; The devil's tanks did not participate in the attack in the dark night, and an attack by the devil's infantry made these people feel fear and fled in all directions in the night; They went directly to the thin bag, where the main forces of the new 28th Division were stationed.
The devils did not continue to attack, they also needed to rest, besides, the troops just now were fully equipped with American weapons, and in the attack, the defenders did not pay much price, they were afraid that the Chinese army would be ambushed in the night, and they decided to wait until dawn.
"Division, devils, devils are here! There are a lot of people, and tanks......"
When they arrived at the bag, the officers who had fled back reported in a panic.
"How many devils are there?"
Division commander Liu Bolong asked about the situation, he has a division here, if he retreats without even seeing the devil's face, I'm afraid no one will be able to protect him.
"I don't know, it's all over the mountains."
No one knows how many devils there are, because they lack the courage to face the devils, and when their sense of superiority is defeated by the devils, they dare not face the devils.
"Pack up your equipment and get into position."
Liu Bolong's face was dark, what he was thinking about now was not whether he could keep this place, but how to discard this place in a bright light.
After Liu Bolong arrived in Burma, his main time was not used to train troops or deploy defenses, but to use the Yunnan-Burma Highway to do business, and he only considered his own interests.
On April 26, the sun just came out on the sea level, and the devil plane at Yangon airport began to prepare, and today, for them, is destined to be a very important day.
"Buzz ......"
Amid the roar of the aircraft, the 55th Division and the 33rd Division were also preparing, and they decided to attack the new 22nd Division and 96th Division in front of them to contain the 56th Division that was sneaking around and attacking the fine package.
Why did the devils sneak attack Xibao first, because the devils were afraid that the Fifth Army in front of them would quickly return to Lashio by road, and once they were entangled with the Chinese army here, they could not take Lashio with a thunderous momentum, even if they occupied Lashio, they only completed half of the goal.
"Get into cover, hide!"
On the position, the officer shouted and ordered the soldiers to hurry into the bunker.
"He's a female horse, what is the devil crazy about? If you want to break through from here, let's dream! ”
The officers at the front gritted their teeth, for these troops who had been struggling at the front for a long time, they had already considered themselves dead.
"Buzz ......"
The huge bomber formation, under the protection of the fighters, launched a full-line attack on the front line of Wacheng, and in the meantime, some of the planes did not stop, and when the sight of the ground troops was completely obscured, they continued to fly northward and went straight to the thin bag.
"Our planes came, ordered the troops, and prepared for the attack."
The commander of the search wing, Yanagawa Akidasa, looked up at the sky and gave the order; After the first battle of Tangji, the search wing was originally greatly damaged, but the quality of their supplementary soldiers was very strong, so they quickly recovered their combat effectiveness.
"He's a female horse, a devil's plane."
The officers of the new 28th Division looked at the planes overhead in horror, and the soldiers on the positions ran wildly.
"Tweet ......"
Bombs came straight at the bag with a whistling sound.
"Boom, boom......"
In the terrifying explosion, the panicked soldiers were directly vaporized, and under the impact of the shock wave, the air was covered with stumps and broken arms.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The airborne machine guns swooped down with the plane, recklessly harvesting the lives on the position.
"Ahh
Everywhere there were screams, everywhere there were helpless cries; The newly formed 28th Division, these troops adapted from the Einsatzgruppen, when did they see this formation, and the front-line positions were directly wiped out in the bombardment of devils.
"Kill and give!"
The devil's plane is gone, and the devil's tank is followed by a large number of infantry, and it comes straight to the bag.
"Give labor and management to resist, and you are not allowed to retreat."
Facing the fleeing soldiers, Liu Bolong shouted, brandishing a pistol.
"Bang, bang......"
Seeing that the shouting was useless, Liu Bolong shot directly, killing several leading officers, and the remaining soldiers looked at each other and turned around and ran to the position behind them.
"Kill and give!"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
With the roar of the devil's tank machine gun, the devil swooped towards the position.
"Hit!"
"Da Da Da ......"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
As the guns roared, a large number of bullets rushed towards the devil and hit the devil's tank, making a clanging sound.
"Order the artillery to fire and take the devil down."
Liu Bolong shouted, he couldn't retreat so quickly, now it's not about grabbing battle merits, he is thinking about his own life.
"Boom, boom......"
A large number of mortar shells fell around the attacking devils, and the tanks were fine, but the devil infantry kept falling.
"Boom, boom......"
The turret of the tank was rotating, constantly bombarding the machine-gun fire points on the position, and the devil infantry hiding behind the tank was also watching the position of the defenders' mortar position.
"Ahh
"Ahh
……
"Little devil, grandpa fought with you!"
Inside the trenches, the frightened soldiers tried to pull the trigger, the submachine guns kept flashing sparks, and the bullets rushed towards the infantry.
"Puff puff ......"
"Goo-Goo......
But it was useless, the devil's vehicle-mounted machine gun came to the trench, and the soldiers who showed half of their bodies were directly beaten into bloody holes.
"Teacher, I can't stand it, hundreds of brothers have died; Withdraw! ”
At the division headquarters, the deputy division commander persuaded Liu Bolong, hoping to flee back as soon as possible.
"I can't withdraw directly, I ordered the 84th Regiment to resist me, and I have to hold it for at least two hours."
"The 82nd Regiment and the 83rd Regiment will immediately occupy the 419th and 287th heights, go quickly."
Liu Bolong shouted.
"Overseer team, within two hours, the soldiers on the front line dare to run back, and they will be killed directly by labor and management."
Liu Bolong's face was blue, he wanted to run, but he couldn't run directly, for fear of being stuck by the devil.
"Send a report to Commander Luo, the main force of the devils is attacking the small bag, they have planes and tanks, our department has suffered heavy casualties, the small bag is in danger, please send reinforcements quickly."
Liu Bolong immediately thought of the person who carried the burden, and decided to throw the burden to Luo Zhuoying, he knew that Luo Zhuoying had no troops to send, and when he asked Du Yuming to send reinforcements, he could say that the reinforcements were delayed, and the new 28th Division suffered heavy casualties, so it could only retreat to two heights to hold on.
