In fact, not only that, what made the high command feel even more aggrieved was that the new 38th Division, the best unit for maintaining the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force, also followed the British to India, and now on the battlefield in Burma, the 200th Division has been greatly damaged, and the units of the Fifth Army have also experienced several bloody battles and urgently need to replenish.

Lashio held on, sent Stilwell a telegram, and asked him what he was thinking now. Oh, by the way, he should still be on his way to India by now, and he probably won't receive the telegram. ”

"Call back to Guangting, the expeditionary force should move to Ba Mo and Myitkyina, and use Gaoligong Mountain and Savage Mountain as cover to prepare for a protracted battle to prevent the Japanese army from attacking the southwest Yunnan region."

"Order the 66th Army, it must stick to the area of covering, otherwise military law will be engaged."

The commander sighed and asked the secretary to record the order.

The devil's attacking force was waiting for the planes, and the withdrawn infantry regrouped and prepared for the attack.

"Nankan is not armed? Yo West! ”

"Order: The main force of the 33rd Division should continue to increase troops to Nankan, attack and advance along the Yunnan-Burma Highway to Wan Town, Mangshi, and Longling, and occupy the Nujiang ......"

After receiving a telegram from the Japanese Burma Front Command that it would easily occupy Nankan, Commander Kawabe Shozo immediately made a decision that his goal was not to be a Chinese expeditionary force, but to cross the Nu River and march to Chongqing.

"Huitong Bridge!"

"Order the 33rd Division to send a powerful force to seize this place......"

Staring at the only bridge over the Nu River, the riverside is giving orders three times in succession.

"Buzz ......"

The soldiers who stayed in the anti-artillery hole were still munching on steamed buns, and the roar of planes came from the sky of Lashio, and the devil's plane came again.

"Kill and give!"

However, this time the Devil's plane did not drop bombs, but circled over Lashio, and the Devil's infantry resumed the attack, accompanied by tanks.

"Beep beep ......"

On the battlefield, a terrible copper whistle sounded, and it was the observation post that was warning him.

"Go to the battlefield, the devil is coming!"

"Hurry up, get to the ground......"

To the west and south, the officers shouted for the soldiers to come out of the anti-artillery holes.

"What does he mean by his daughter's horse, devil? What are you flying over here for? ”

Feng Ye held the binoculars and looked at the iron bird in the sky.

"I see, they're here for artillery positions."

"Order Gao Yushu, without an order, artillery and mountain artillery are not allowed to go out of the artillery bunker without authorization!"

"Order all mortars and anti-aircraft artillery to advance to the front-line trenches and prepare for battle!"

"Connect me to Wang Ning!"

……

Feng Yi understood at once, to put it bluntly, the devils are here to bully people, use a few planes to watch their artillery, and then use tanks, mountain artillery and infantry to attack the position.

"Wang Ning, the devil's plane is in the sky, the artillery can't participate in the battle now, and the shortest exchange distance is four hundred meters, so the devil won't dare to throw bombs on the position, do you understand?"

Feng Ye shouted on the phone.

"Regiment commander, I understand, I will immediately drop the battle defense artillery and mortars to the front-line position, without artillery, we can also block the devil!"

Wang Ning shouted that in the domestic battlefield, he was used to fighting without artillery support, and he was not unaccustomed to this kind of battle.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The devil's tank was very arrogant, and they came straight to the position, and behind them, the devil infantry moved forward with rifles and followed the rhythm of the tank.

"Start shelling!"

The attacking troops were only six hundred meters from the position, and the devil officer gave the order for an artillery bombardment.

"Boom, boom......"

The devil's mountain artillery began to bombard the defenders' dilapidated positions.

"Ahh

On the battlefield, screams were soon heard; As soon as a mountain artillery shell landed in the trench, it was a sign of the death of the surrounding brothers.

"Don't get together, spread out!"

"Leaning on the trenches ......"

The officers kept shouting that they couldn't retreat into cover now, they had to hold on.

"Five hundred meters!"

On the position, the officers shouted reminders of the distance.

"Four hundred meters!"

"Battalion commander, do you want to fight?"

The devil was close to four hundred meters, and the platoon commander asked his commander.

"Machine guns with bunkers fire! The rest remain on standby! ”

Wang Ning shouted the order to fire.

"Let the anti-defense artillery hit me and kill those Iron Kings!"

……

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

"Boom, boom......"

On the western position, Wang Ning took the lead in firing.

"Heavy machine gun, give labor and management a beating!"

"Battle defense artillery, fight the Iron King Eight!"

Similarly, on the southern position, the defenders began to open fire.

"Dangdangdang......"

"Boom, boom......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The bullets hit the tank's armor with a clanging sound, and the devil's tank began to advance in a regular manner as the defenders opened fire, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns also began to strafe, trying to suppress the machine gun fire on the position.

"Boom, boom......"

"Ahh

The mountain artillery of the devils was also shelling, towards the exposed machine-gun bunkers on the positions.

"Fluttering ......"

The hit bunker kept falling mud and sand, and the machine gunner focused on shooting, not caring at all, and the devil's 75 mountain gun couldn't collapse the bunker on the head at all.

"Three hundred meters!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Devils in khaki uniforms and steel helmets kept revealing their bodies behind the tanks, and the company commander on the position shouted, poking out his rifle from the edge of the trench.

"Kill and give!"

In the same way, the devil infantry also jumped out from behind the tank, and their chariots would not move forward, at this distance, it was their infantry who lived.

"Huhuhu......"

Despite the fact that several battles had been fought, there were still soldiers kicking and breathing, not because they were afraid, but because they were nervous before the battle.

"Hit!"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Da Da Da ......"

On the battlefield, the gunfire was loud, and the devil who had just revealed his body faced a rain of bullets of death.

"Puff puff ......"

"Ahh

In an instant, dozens of devils on both sides of the southwest fell, and similarly, the brothers who showed their heads on the position were also destroyed by the devils' machine guns and mountain artillery.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Da Da Da ......"

After the position was bombarded several times by the devils, there were not many craters in front of the position, and the devils jumped in front of the potted positions, covering each other and alternately rushing towards the positions, and they drove crooked handles in the craters and fired wildly at the defenders' positions.

"Whew!"

Rhoda's assault team was still on standby in the second-line position, but their snipers had already entered the communication trenches directly in the first- and second-line positions.

"Bang!"

In the same way, they lie in craters, communication trenches, and trenches, honing their marksmanship.

"Puff puff ......"

"When, when......"

In front of the position, the attacking devils kept howling and fell to the ground, as the attacker, their casualties were much higher than the defenders in the position.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The little devil showed his marksmanship at a distance of 300 meters, rifle bullets chirping around the edge of the trenches, piercing into the dirt, hitting people, or flying over the heads of the brothers.

"Tweet ......"

The roar of the devil's machine gun was like a locust bullet hitting the edge of the trench, bringing up a puff of dirt, and a few brothers fell back into the trench in a rain of bullets.
