The devil's attack on Lashio was the same as the division commander Masao Watanabe had expected, attacking from both sides at the same time; The main attack on the old city of Lashio is the 148th Wing, while the new city side is the Search Wing and the 113th Wing; He was eager for the supplies in Lashio New City, so he hoped that this side would attack faster to prevent the Chinese from destroying all the supplies.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

At this time, the new 22nd Division had already begun to attack the fine pack, they were semi-mechanized troops, moving much faster than the 96th Division.

"Order the 64th Regiment, immediately after the artillery bombardment, to attack; The commander gave a death order that the thin bag must be broken through today. ”

Liao Yaoxiang was in a hurry, Du Yuming's orders were very strict, and even dropped the artillery regiment to him to use, if it wasn't for the armored corps still behind, maybe the army commander would order the tank to take the lead in the charge.

"Put!"

"Put!"

On the position of the artillery regiment, the artillerymen sweated like rain, and shells were loaded into it and shelled towards the position of the thin bag; They came all the way from the country to Burma, and apart from firing a few shots in Mandalay, they did not participate in the battle at all, and they had long been suffocated along the way.

"Commander, let the artillery regiment fight a wave and stop quickly! Don't bring the devil's plane. ”

The chief of staff felt the sound of artillery and looked at Du Yuming with blank eyes.

"Stop the fart, let them shell hard and open a gap for the new 22nd Division."

"Don't you know? Now the devils are already attacking Lashio, if Lashio is lost, not to mention these guns, even our tanks can't go back, rather than this, it is better to blow up more devils while they can be used. ”

Of course, Du Yuming knew the consequences of the continuous shelling, but he had no choice now; Once Lashio is lost, he will not go to India, and there will only be a dead end left, turning over the mountain of off-road people, and mountain artillery, tanks and cars will not be able to enter the mountain, and they will all be lost at that time.

"Didi ......"

"Commander, Lashio telegram."

The military headquarters stopped, and as soon as the radio station was set up, a series of telegrams poured in, and the first one that came in was Feng Yi's telegram.

Feng Ye was very anxious, and he ordered the signal soldiers to keep sending reports, hoping to get Du Yuming's reply.

"Commander, Lashio telegram."

"Commander, Chongqing telegram!"

……

Telegrams kept coming to Du Yuming's hands, all of which were urgent telegrams.

"Give up Wacheng, return to Lashio, break the Japanese army's attack on Lashio, protect Lashio first, and the gains and losses of Wacheng have little to do with it."

Looking at the telegram from Chongqing, Du Yuming felt that he had done the right thing, that he no longer had to bow to the British and Americans, and that he could finally act according to his own will, although it was already a little late.

"In the name of the Commander's Department of the Expeditionary Force, I replied: The vanguard of the new 22nd Division has exchanged fire with the Japanese army in Xibao, and our unit will move forward with all its strength to relieve the siege of Lashio."

"Call back to Feng Ye, without my order, all officers and soldiers who crossed Lashio, no matter who they were, should participate in the battle to defend Lashio, and if there is resistance, justice will be brought to justice on the spot."

"From now on, the radio must be kept open throughout the day, and the 66th Army must be called, so that they can report the situation of the battle at any time; CC Feng Yi. ”

……

A barrage of orders was issued amid the sound of gunfire.

"Kill and give!"

At this time, the battle in the old city of Lashio had been fought for more than an hour, and under the repeated impact of the devil's tank, the battle defense artillery achieved little success, and the key was that the battle defense artillery battalion of the 66th Army was insufficient, and there should have been three six-gun battle defense artillery companies, but Meng Lezeng only had eight, which was urgently replenished on the road.

"Hit the labor!"

On the forward position, the officer roared and ordered the soldiers to shoot.

And the devil's infantry was not in a hurry, they hid behind the tank, and when the tank moved forward, the devils jumped in front of the potholed position, covering each other, alternately rushing towards the position, and from time to time rifle fire made the defenders on the position scream and fall to the ground.

"Company commander, the devil tank is here; What to do? ”

On the position of the search battalion of the 66th Army, the devil's tank had already reached a hundred meters in front of the position, stopped and fired at the position with machine guns, and the two Czech machine guns on the position had long been reduced to parts in the tank guns.

"Death squad, follow me."

Ren Zuozhou shouted, picked up a bundle of grenades, rolled out of the tattered trench, and with determination in his eyes, he ran towards the devil's tank.

"Rush!"

The company commander went up, and one by one the brothers picked up explosive packs and grenades, rolled out of the trenches, and rushed to the devil tank. Love Me eBook

"Fast, fast, fast......"

In the rear, Zhang Zhiguang, chief of the operations section of the 66th Army Staff Office and Zhang Zhen's nephew, came over with a battalion of brothers; watched Ren Zuozhou rush towards the devil tank.

"Machine guns for me, fire cover!"

Zhang Zhiguang shouted, grabbed the machine gun and began to rush through.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

At the same time, seeing that the defenders on the position began to attack suicidally, the devil's on-board machine gun roared and fired at the rushing soldiers.

"Puff puff ......"

The soldiers of the search battalion kept falling, and although they were already trying to dodge, they were still so far away from the tank.

"Da Da Da ......"

Several machine guns joined the trenches, and the sudden fire from the position rushed towards the devil tank and the devil infantry that emerged behind the tank.

"Puff puff ......"

The devil also knows how to use infantry to protect the tank, and the devil who just came out to shoot was hit by machine gun fire and fell to the ground.

"Dangdangdang......"

At this time, the tanks didn't have time to take care of the machine guns, and their targets were the bombers that rushed at them.

"Puff puff ......"

Under the heavy machine gun bullets, there was no screaming at all, and the charging soldiers were constantly broken in two, trembling helplessly on the ground.

"Little devil, labor and management are fighting with you."

Ren Zuozhou shouted, his left calf had been broken, the palms of his hands had been worn out by the mud and sand, and he was still crawling forward, very close to the devil's tank.

"Huhuhu......"

Rolling into a small crater, Ren Zuozhou breathed heavily, blood kept flowing out of his calf, and he already felt that he would faint at any time.

"Squeak......"

The devil's tank moved sideways, and Ren Zuozhou glanced up, and it was less than five meters in front of him to the left.

"The tank is not coming, and labor and management are fighting with you."

Originally, Ren Zuozhou wanted to wait for the tank here, but the devil's tanker was not a fool, and it was impossible to risk being bombed.

"Huhuhu......"

Crawling forward with his head up, fortunately with the machine gun cover behind, the devil's infantry didn't seem to notice him.

"Zla!"

Pulling the fuse of the grenade, Ren Zuozhou burst out with all his strength, and a forward rush rushed under the belly of the tank.

"Boom!"

In the loud explosion, the poor steel plate at the bottom of the devil tank was blown through, and the tracks became several pieces, and I no longer understood it.

"Puff puff ......"

It's a pity that it was only him, all the soldiers who came out with him were quickly beaten into corpses by the devil's machine gun, and the remaining devil tank continued to move forward.

"Little devil, my **** ancestor!"

Zhang Zhiguang shouted, pulled the trigger hard, and the dozens of brothers who rushed out were all good, but he Zhang Zhiguang was not a bad breed.

"Fight with the devil, fight!"

The soldiers on the position shouted, no longer afraid of the shells and bullets of the devils, and pulled the trigger.

"The second squadron presses up and goes in."

In the back, the devil officer put down the binoculars, and he saw the possibility of breaking through the position, that is, the side where Ren Zuozhou had just died.
