Lashio, the special bomb offensive failed, but the devils were not completely without gains, and the devils who returned from defeat brought back the latest news, starting from the first line of positions they captured, there was a deep trench every distance ahead, about 4 meters wide and more than 2 meters deep; Until the place where they encountered machine-gun fire, there were five trenches in front of them.

"This is not a trench for the defenders, the trench is not so wide, nor so deep; It seems that the commander on the other side is very clever! This was learned from the British? Or did you learn from the Americans? ”

Masao Watanabe groaned, on the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army and the Chinese army have been fighting for several years, and they have not encountered this thing a few times, and now there is a sudden large area of anti-tank trenches, there must be a master.

"The commander of the division, I have just asked the commander of the tank, our tank will not be able to cross these trenches at all, what will we do with tomorrow's attack?"

The chief of staff was a little worried.

"Order the engineer brigade to fill it for me overnight, with sandbags, and every trench does not have to be filled completely, just fill a few passages for the chariots."

Masao Watanabe said indifferently, it is impossible to attack at night, so let's fill in all the trenches! Perhaps by the time the attack is made tomorrow, the Chinese army will find that their trenches are useless.

The 96th Division of the Fifth Army, which was in charge of the rearguard, was not satisfied, they blocked the attack of the devils in Mandalay, and fought with the devils on the position for eight days; In the past two days, they have been like this for the past two days, and they have been holding back the forces of the devils and constantly blocking them in the rear, buying time for the attack of the new 22nd Division and the troops directly under the army.

"Commander Yu, how is the situation in the rear? Can the Japanese attack still be stopped? ”

The gunfire on the battlefield stopped, the 287 Heights were still in the hands of the Japanese army, and the air support of the Japanese army would arrive at any time, and Du Yuming was now very worried about the safety of the rear road.

"Rest assured, the army commander is not attacking too fiercely, and the 96th Division can completely block it."

Yu Shao reported the situation on the phone, and the actual situation was also like this, the pursuing Japanese army seemed to have only one wing, and there were not even a few air supports, and only when the Chinese army retreated, the devil sent people up to accept the position.

"Did the numbers of the two divisions of the devil appear?"

Du Yuming frowned, even if it was a devil's detour, it was impossible for so many troops to run in front of him, something must have gone wrong.

"At present, only two wings of the 55th Division can be confirmed, and the 18th Division has disappeared since Wacheng."

Yu Shao groaned for a moment, talking about the results of his observations.

"Got it, stop the attack during the day today, you pay attention, and report the situation at any time."

Du Yuming put down the phone and stared at the map; Now the devil's 18th Division is gone, and he doesn't know where it went, this is the lack of foreign operations, the British and Americans are gone, and they can't even get auxiliary intelligence.

"It must have been to the two hundred divisions!"

Du Yuming muttered, now on the entire battlefield, the 200th Division is alone, and the devil will only use so many troops if he goes to Dai Anlan.

"Where the hell is the 200th Division?"

Du Yuming muttered to himself, now that Lashio is in sight, the only thing that is uncertain is only the 200th Division.

"A company, go to the north; south of Erlian; three links to the east; The devil plane will definitely bomb here, you can't be bombed here, hide in the woods, find out that the devil infantry is attacking, and immediately send a signal......"

On the 419 heights, the position was full of soldiers who had died in battle, and the devils accounted for the majority, and the attacking officers and soldiers looked at the slowly brightening sky, and had no time to care about the corpses, and after collecting the grenades of the devils, they all retreated; Because there are no anti-artillery holes on this position at all, on this, once the devils bombard, it is an absolute miracle that the soldiers on the position can survive.

"Buzz ......"

The sound of aircraft engines soon appeared over the Fifth Army, no artillery and tanks were found, the devil's plane flapped its wings, leaving two bombers to bomb the 419 heights, and the rest of the planes continued north, heading straight for Lashio.

The northern part of Myanmar is densely vegetated, with much of it covered with shrubs and jungles that could be hidden, giving the Fifth Army brothers a natural shelter to hide.

"Devil plane, hidden!"

In Lashio, the devil's plane was spotted from a distance, and the desperate roars of the officers sounded on the battlefield.

"Commander, you better go to the third position in the back!"

The guards persuaded Feng Yi, this is the frontier, and it must be the target of the devil's bombing.

"Where to go? Is it safe to be in the back? ”

Feng Ye glanced at the guards, shook his head, and took the lead out of the command headquarters and entered the anti-artillery bunker next to him.

"Knock, knock......"

At this time, behind Feng Yi's lost first position, the sound of farts continued to sound, and thick red smoke began to rise.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The devil's plane circled around the second line, the on-board machine guns kept strafing the position, and where the smoke rose, parachutes bloomed in the air, and as the transport plane circled, more and more white flowers bloomed.

"Yay, yes......"

On the battlefield, the devil officers and soldiers carnivaled and slapped their hands, and they finally saw the continuation of the replenishment.

"The airdrop is full of ammunition, and when they are all disassembled, they may be disappointed!"

Masao Watanabe looked at the parachute in the air, and of course he knew what was inside; As a matter of fact, this airdrop of supplies did not help much in combat effectiveness, and was mainly to boost morale.

"How much food do we have?"

Masao Watanabe asked the staff officer next to him.

"If it is distributed according to 70% of the ration, it can last for three days."

The staff officer replied honestly.

"The order logistics will be distributed today according to ten percent."

"All airdropped materials are stacked in a centralized manner, and no wing is allowed to open the box without authorization......"

Masao Watanabe looked at the wooden box that was gradually falling to the ground and gave the order.

"Hello!"

"Tweet ......"

The transport planes finished throwing supplies, and the bombers and fighters began their work, and the shells that broke out of the cabin screeched towards the positions.

"Boom, boom......"

In the tremor of the earth, the bombardment of the devils began; The second line of positions experienced yesterday's bombardment, but it was later repaired by sappers, and then the devil's special ammunition raged, but there was no damage.

"Boom ......"

In the earth-shattering explosion, the logs on the position flew sideways, the trenches became cut off one by one under the aerial bombs, and even the heavy machine gun fortifications were directly blown away by the aerial bombs.

"Fry it! Fry it! ”

The brothers in the anti-artillery hole did not panic, they were used to being bombed inside, and as long as the anti-artillery hole did not collapse, they were not prepared to run out.

"Squeak......"

In front of the position, the devil's tank roared and appeared on the edge of the first line of defense, and the devil was already preparing to attack.
