Chapter 1324: Fame in the World!
The battle of the new 38th Division in the Menggong River Valley was completely interspersed by General Sun Liren, and nearly 20,000 Japanese troops were wiped out in field battles and city defense battles; The combat effectiveness displayed by the expeditionary force on the battlefield was completely a world-class strong military posture, and not only the top level of the Japanese army, but also European and American countries were very surprised.
But what surprised them even more was the name of General Sun Liren, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had been fought for so long, and the last time they heard of it, it was Xue Yue who had a big record; But at that time, the strength of the whole of China played a record, and General Sun Liren played this kind of record with less troops than the Japanese army, making General Sun Liren famous in the world.
At this time, the 14th Division, the 50th Division, and the New 30th Division had been airlifted to the front line of the counteroffensive in northern Burma one after another, and the number of Chinese troops entering Burma had reached 5. The New First Army was expanded into two armies, the New First Army and the New Sixth Army. The New First Army is under the jurisdiction of the New 30th Division and the New 38th Division, and the commander is Sun Liren. The New Sixth Army has the new 22nd Division, 14th Division, and 50th Division, and its commander Liao Yaoxiang.
Of course, this is also the Chinese commander-in-chief showing the commanders of the troops and the world that in the Chinese battlefield, as long as you can fight, you can have a bigger stage.
"It's been a month since the Sino-US joint commando team was disbanded, and they won't forget about us!"
Feng Ye held the bulletin of the war zone in his hand, and he was a little confused about what the situation was now.
The announcement of the disbandment of the Sino-American mixed commando was an order from Paterno when he was the commander of the Myitkyina campaign, and at that time he had thought it was an order against the Myitkyina front troops; However, according to the current changes, Zheng Dongguo was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief, commanding the Myitkyina campaign; Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang were promoted to army commanders respectively, and since the counteroffensive in northern Burma, he has made a lot of military achievements, so why don't he have his own share?
"Even if you don't get promoted, you should return to the Chinese Expeditionary Force sequence!"
Feng Ye sat in the thatched house, with a cigarette lit in his hand, and he was a little confused now.
In fact, what Feng Ye didn't know was that no one in their army had ever forgotten it; On the contrary, with the outstanding performance of the commandos on the battlefield, how to use this force and how to make the most of this force has become the focus of frequent debate between the Chinese and American coalition forces.
As for handing over the command of Feng's troops to the Chinese army, Stilwell never thought that he would take command of this army.
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it, Feng Ye half lay on the grass and fell asleep, and in the sound of the rain, the whole village snored loudly.
The next day, Feng Ye finally found a suitable place to cross the river, and the river went through a roundabout to form a backwater bay, and the river became wider, but after there was a cathartic area to the side, the lack of water became gentle.
"Take these horses back!"
Leaning on rubber boats, the assault team quickly set up a rope on the river, relying on rubber boats, and a few hours later, the assault team disappeared on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River.
The Irrawaddy River did not withstand the continuous baptism of war, but the village here was not well preserved, and the Japanese troops stationed nearby became a typical emperor here because they were far away from Yangon, and they demanded from the Burmese people; The common people during the war years were pitiful, and they had to move away from the towns and into the jungle.
"Chief, the village here is empty."
Along the road, the assault team walked several kilometers forward, but did not find a good place, but the rain in the sky became heavier and heavier.
"With the company as a unit, we went into the village and tested the communication effect of walkie-talkies every hour."
Feng Ye squinted, he didn't come to dig a position to defend, to guard the road, to prevent Ba Mo's reinforcements, and to conduct field battles in the field without cover, it is not difficult now.
The land passage from Mon Kung to Myitkyina was opened, and the strong logistical capabilities of the Allied forces were revealed, with various artillery, large quantities of ammunition and logistical supplies arriving at the Myitkyina front.
"Boom, boom......"
The Allied planes did not have to risk taking off, the field hospital was set up outside Myitkyina, and the fighting did not stop because of the heavy rain in the sky, the Allied forces were ruthless, and Myitkyina had to be captured.
During the bitter battle of Myitkyina, the British army won a decisive victory in the Battle of Imphal, and the British army changed the decline of the first Battle of Burma; Breaking the 15th Army, the main force of the Japanese Burmese Army; A large number of Japanese troops began to retreat.
The various units surrounding Myitkyina have broken through, and the outside of Myitkyina has completely become the rear of the expeditionary force, all the tunnels of the Japanese army have been blown up, all the passages out of the city have been closed, and even if Minakami Genzo and Maruyama Osa want to retreat now, there is only one road left on the Irrawaddy River, and it is a pity that there is no boat in the entire Myitkyina vicinity, so they can only retreat on rafts.
On the 25th, the 90th Regiment of the New 30th Division was airlifted to Myitkyina to participate in the battle; A battalion of the 150th Regiment of the 50th Division and the 113th Regiment attacked the southern end of the street and occupied the second road; The whole attack was orderly and very stable, the devils even blew up the tunnels that counterattacked from the tunnels, and if the Japanese wanted to fight back, they had to brave a dense rain of bullets to attack from the ruins.
On the 27th, the fourth road in the southern market was lost, and the situation in Myitkyina tilted again in favor of the Allies, and the miners from Kyushu seemed to have lost their way and could only wait for the dead shells to fall in the dim tunnels.
The 4 companies of the 88th and 89th regiments of the new 30th Division advanced to the intersection of the highway and the railway in the west, and entered the street fighting mode.
The battle in Myitkyina was soon put on the command of the Japanese Burmese Front, and at this time, the Battle of Imphal was over, and the attention of the Burmese Front was finally focused on northern Burma.
"Order, the 2nd Division of the Eight Mo Regiments quickly reinforces Myitkyina......"
Now the only one who can save Myitkyina is the Japanese army of Ba Mo, the second division contributed the fourth wing to Meng Gong in the early stage, and the fourth wing with heavy casualties has not yet returned, the second division has to send two infantry brigades to reinforce Myitkyina, and the defenders of Ba Mo are reduced again.
"Regiment Commander, the dry food of each department is running out, and it can last three days at most."
Feng Ye did not wait for the reinforcements of the devils on the east coast, not even the sporadic devils, whether it was on the road or in the field, there was no one, this weather, if it were not for the war, all the Burmese would huddle in the house, try to reduce outdoor activities, and wait for the end of the rainy season.
"What did Command say?"
Feng Yi looked at the communication soldiers, and the telegram requesting additional supplies was sent out in the morning, but he never waited for a definite reply.
"Just like just now, when the weather improves, we will be given an airdrop."
The signal soldier shook his head, the rain was so heavy, the danger of the transport plane taking off was too great, and now even the supplies on the Myitkyina front line were transported by land.
