The fortifications of Lashio New City were very perfect, and with the help of machinery, one day and two nights, Feng Ye and his brothers built a complete defensive system; Although the devil's aerial bombs were powerful, except for the damage caused by some fortifications, there were not many casualties on the position; But the old city of Lashio is not good, the defending troops have just arrived last night, and under the hasty deployment, they do not even have a defensive artillery hole.

"Tweet ......"

In the old city of Lashio, the devil's plane had no scruples, and the bombs fell one after another like laying eggs.

"Boom ......"

The old city of Lashio was submerged in a cloud of fire and smoke, the earth was shaking, countless houses were turned into parts flying in the air, and the brothers in the old city, whether they were hiding there, as long as they were taken care of by the aerial bombs, in the blink of an eye, they turned into stumps and flew into the air.

"Boom ......"

Outside the old city of Lashio, improvised fortifications were flattened by such violent explosions, and the positions were constantly taken care of by aerial bombs, and in countless craters, the explosion kicked up earth and rocks flying everywhere.

"Ahh

The soldiers, who had not been to the battlefield much, shouted frantically, their legs darling, trying to escape from the hellish trenches.

"Puff puff ......"

But it was useless, in the face of the terrifying shock wave and shrapnel, it was all a mixture of flesh and blood.

"Get down, don't run around!"

The officer lay dead in the trenches, the roar of the explosion ringing in his ears, the heart-rending pain of the splashes and dirt hitting his body, he looked up and saw people running around, but his warning was quickly drowned out in the explosion.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The huge smoke and dust from the explosion covered the position, and the choking smoke poured into the lungs of the remnants, and I don't know how long it took for the explosion to finally stop, and the position had become a ruin.

"Phew!"

The surviving officer shook his head, the earth falling in a torrent, spat out the scorched earth that splashed into his mouth, and stood up with a disgraced face.

"Prepare to fight alive, the devil is coming!"

As far as the eye can see, the entire position has become a mess, large and small craters have been made up, and fragmented corpses are lying on the edge of the crater.

"Ahh

As the mud and sand faded away, painful howls rang from the battlefield, and the remaining soldiers got up from their trenches unkempt, covered in mud and falling.

"And how many brothers!"

The officer shouted, his eyes full of anger.

"The living brethren count."

This surviving officer was none other than Ren Zuozhou, the company commander of the 66th Army's search battalion, unkempt, clutching his rifle.

"One, two......"

As the number of announcements began, Ren Zuozhou's eyes swept over the position, and he saw the embarrassed brothers crawling out of the trenches one by one.

"**** female horse, little devil."

As the sound of the report stopped at eighty-nine, Ren Zuozhou's heart was dripping blood, and half of the people were left in a full company, and this did not even see the face of the devil.

"Hurry up and rescue the wounded, check the weapons and ammunition."

Ren Zuozhou took a deep breath and shouted orders.

"Hey, the military department? The eastern position suffered heavy casualties, and less than half of my company was left, so I asked for reinforcements. ”

Ren Zuozhou picked up the phone, and after a sharp shake, he called, and now he doesn't care who is answering the phone on the other side.

"Company commander, the devil is here!"

As soon as Ren Zuozhou put down the phone, the devils of the two squadrons followed behind the tank and attacked.

"I hope that the battle defense artillery of the Meng battalion commander will be on time."

Ren Zuozhou muttered, staring at the front of the position, countless devils wearing khaki uniforms and steel helmets began to attack the position with bayonet guns, rushing towards them, and there were more than 200 people in the squadron on their side, and they were striding towards this side at this moment.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Click, click......"

The remnants pulled the bolts of their guns and aimed in front of the position.

"Woo woo woo ......"

At the same time, in front of the position of the second battalion of the 87th Regiment in the southern position of Lashio New Town, the devil's tank roared, followed by a large number of devil infantry, and began to approach the position.

The devil's infantry is now in a neat line, and it is still fifteen kilometers from the city of Lashio, and of course they see the trenches in front of them, which are like trenches, but the officer thinks that there will be no Chinese defenders here, and this is just an attempt by the Chinese army to delay the advance of the tanks; Because there are only two regiments in Lashio New Town; The purpose of the devils is to expel the scouts of the defenders, to establish forward positions and command posts here.

"Boom, boom......"

The sudden explosion made the two devil tanks lie on the spot, and the tracks were blown off and scattered all over the ground.

"Landmines, the Chinese planted mines!"

The devil infantry in the back brushed and brushed in place, for fear of stepping on a mine.

"Stand back, let the sappers come up."

The devil commander frowned, he did not expect that the Chinese would start to bury mines so far away.

"Commander, the devil has started to sweep mines, are you fighting?"

On the position, the commander of the second battalion asked Chen Haiquan.

"Let the heavy machine guns open fire and fight the sappers of the devils."

Chen Haiquan nodded, at this time, the sapper is the target, and this is not a cheap one.

"Heavy machine guns fire, sappers who fight devils."

The second battalion commander shouted.

"Click!"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The roar of the British Makqin 7.7mm heavy machine gun sounded on the position, and there were also water-cooled M1917 by the Americans, and in Lashio, the Americans gave a lot of materials, such as the Springfield-type, M1917 water-cooled heavy machine guns that the US army wanted to eliminate, and even the M1-type 75 mountain guns, and some howitzers, and so on; since the staff committee said that Feng Ye could use the materials here at will, Feng Ye was not polite, except for the rifles, the firepower on the position was strengthened a lot; and his commando team was also officially reequipped with American weapons, Thomson, Big eight, Browning light machine guns, etc., of course, the sniper rifle brethren did not change, because there were no American sniper rifles here; The Americans themselves lack that thing, and they are converting sniper rifles with spring rifles in their country.

"Puff puff ......"

The sudden burst of heavy machine-gun fire made the devil's sappers tremble and fall to the ground, the machine gun fire points were all semi-underground, and the top was camouflaged, and the devils did not find a position hundreds of meters away at all.

"Yaga."

The devil officer held a telescope and looked at the machine-gun fortifications on the horizon, which was very uncomfortable.

It is still fifteen kilometers away from Lashio, but I didn't expect the defenders to start a tight defense.

"Report to the Wing Commander that the Chinese army in the south is heavily defended, and in addition to the trenches, there are an unknown number of mines."

"Order the troops in front to withdraw."

The devil officer frowned, forcibly attacking so early, his brigade was afraid that all the houses in Lashio New City would be wiped out.

In the same way, the west and east sides also encountered a tentative attack from the devil at the same time, and the devil detonated a few mines and then retracted.

"Your Excellency, to the east and south, fifteen kilometers away, the positions of the Chinese defenders have been discovered, and there are mines of an unknown number."

"Your Excellency Dazuo, to the west, five kilometers from Lashio, found the position of the Chinese defenders, there were a large number of mines in front of the position, and a small detachment of warriors returned to the shrine."

The Wing Commander of the 113th Wing and the Wing Captain of the Search Wing Hirai Usuke basically looked at each other, they felt the breath of Tang Ji, the defenders were well fortified and ready to defend.
