Circumstances change with the passage of time... The defenders are now the attackers, and the Japanese, who were once invincible, can only hide inside and shiver.

Some time ago, western Yunnan experienced several major wars, and the Japanese army in northern Burma dispatched several troops to support, but they all went and did not return, which also led to a huge loophole in the originally perfect defensive circle.

Not counting the Takeuchi Wing and the 56th and 18th Divisions stationed in western Yunnan, the Japanese army in northern Burma alone had three full-fledged divisions, the 31st, 33rd, and 53rd, and the total strength of Iida Shojiro's Northern Burma Front reached 100,000.

The Japanese army in the entire Burma is only 300,000, and he alone occupies one-third, which can be said to be a heavy army in his hands, and he dominates one side.

But now the situation has taken a turn for the worse, the Takeuchi Wing and the 18th Division have been wiped out one after another, the disabled 56th Division has fled from China like a lost dog, the 31st and 33rd Divisions and the Indian Army are entangled in the Hukang River Valley and cannot pull away, and the 53rd Division, which is the last hope, is blocked by the Chinese south of Lashio and cannot go north.

The hatred in Iida Shojiro's heart, all of this is due to the rising Chinese army, which disrupted himself with a good game of chess, why can't he figure out how they managed to win the battle?

Compared with Iida, who constantly scolded his mother, the 49th Wing stationed in Ba Mo was even more stressed, and their dissatisfied wing only had more than 2,000 people, although they supported an infantry brigade from Myitkyina, but they were still powerless in the face of an enemy several times their size.

Wing Commander Nagashima was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and there was no other way but to keep asking the military headquarters for help, but the response he got was to hold on for a week, and the reinforcements would arrive in seven days at the earliest.

It turned out that Iida Shojiro had already asked for help from the Central Burma Front, and the 2nd Division was rushing to Myitkyina by train from Mandalay, but due to the large number and frequent bombing and raiding by Allied fighters, the progress was much slower than expected, and it was expected that the vanguard would not arrive at Myitkyina until a week at the earliest.

After all, Mandalay is nearly 1,000 kilometers away from Myitkyina, and it is not possible to reach it in a day or two, and it is estimated that it will not take a month to reach the destination without the railway.

But Nagashima's heart was about to break when he learned the news, and he saw that the posture on the other side was enough to hold for three days, and he defended for a week... It's a human life.

In desperation, he had no choice but to let his troops retreat in various fortresses around the city, not daring to fight with the other party in the field at all, and relying on a large number of bunkers and fortifications as much as possible to delay time until reinforcements arrived.

But even so, Nagashima's heart is not bottomed, according to the report of the squad scouts, the enemy has a large artillery force in addition to the numerical advantage, although he does not know the specific number, but his intuition tells him that it is definitely an extremely terrifying existence.

And the reason why the other side has not started to attack until now is because it is waiting for all artillery units to arrive at the designated positions.

In the past few days, the Japanese army aviation team has not been idle, but they have nine Hayabusa fighters parked at the airfield, and the ammunition and fuel are sufficient, and the pilots will basically take to the air every day to fight, in an attempt to bombard their supply lines and artillery units while the enemy has not launched an offensive.

Chen Jize had long expected that the little devil would come to this out, the air defense artillery battalion had always been accompanied by the artillery unit, and as long as he saw the enemy plane in the air, he would immediately contact the division headquarters, and Jamie would immediately rush over to support.

It only took ten minutes for the fighters to get from Nankan to Bamo, and after several air battles, the two sides suffered mutual losses, the Japanese were shot down five fighters, and Jamie's flying team also lost two P40s.

After all, the P40 fighter does not have an absolute advantage in the face of the Hayabusa, and is not as flexible as the opponent in terms of low-altitude grappling.

Fortunately, the downed pilot parachuted early, but suffered only minor injuries, and was finally found by the search team sent out by the 2nd Regiment and safely returned to Nankan.

After paying the price, the little devils did not dare to fight easily until they had to, so they had to continue to stay in the position and be their shrunken turtle.

Just after noon, in an open field five kilometers away from the Japanese position in Bamo.

Dozens of artillery pieces were arranged here in several horizontal columns, small calibers were arranged on gentle slopes, and large calibers were lined up in the open space, and the artillerymen were busy carrying the measurement data of artillery shells, and the crowd was surging.

In a concealed command and observation post made of wooden stakes and branches, Li Liansheng held a radio headset and used a pencil to record the shooting yuan he received.

"Repeat: coordinates 391-408, longitudinal 145-156, height 85, directional firing boundary 30, please confirm again."

"Confirmed...", a confirmation quickly came over the radio.

"Received, confirm the coordinates, high-explosive bomb proximity fuse plus white phosphorus chemical incendiary bomb, please immediately find the evacuation observation place to find cover."

After speaking, Li Liansheng immediately put down the wireless telephone and shouted outside the door: "Fatty! Don't eat it, it's time to fight!! ”

Krupp was sitting on the gun rack, holding a piece of cooking cake and feasting on it, when he heard Li Liansheng's shout, he immediately came to his senses, and the cooking cake in his hand was no longer fragrant, and his body of more than two hundred people jumped up in an instant.

"Quick! It's a shot! ”

Because the food is getting better and better, Krupp, who is already overweight, is even fatter, and he runs like a mountain of meat, and it is estimated that he is now running for 300 catties.

But don't look at this fat man, he is called a flexible and experienced man in his old profession, and after getting the shooting coordinates from Li Liansheng, he immediately ran to the position, and impatiently beckoned the gunners to start acting.

"This deflated calf, when you hear the **, you will be energetic."

Li Liansheng muttered, and then called the signal soldier to give him the coordinates written on the table: "Immediately notify the other two artillery groups, wait for the order of the regimental headquarters, and then all the artillery positions will shoot at this coordinate with full firepower, and kill these things for me!" ”

"Yes!"

In this Bamo operation, in addition to the artillery regiment, two regimental artillery battalions of the second regiment and the third regiment also joined the battlefield.

The air threat of the Japanese was eliminated, and Li Liansheng and they no longer cared about it, as long as the artillery with a range of more than five kilometers was concentrated, ready to play a good game for the enemy at one time.

24 155 howitzers, 34 105 howitzers, 24 Bofors 75 mountain guns in two artillery battalions, plus a medium mortar battery in each infantry battalion, two regiments of 72 American-made 81 caliber mortars.

You think that's the end of it? There are also ten tracked armored vehicles equipped with German-made PAK40-75mm anti-tank guns on the tank battalion, as well as 37 anti-aircraft guns and 60 mortars in each company and platoon, but they are all arranged in front-line positions because of the range.

Two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment totaled more than 300 guns of various calibers.

The huge number is daunting, and the number of artillery even exceeds that of a field heavy artillery brigade in China, and even the artillery directly under the army level has no such luxurious lineup.

……

"Report to the regimental seat, Commander Li sent a telegram, and the entire artillery regiment has completed the preparation for firing and is ready to fire at any time!"

"Report! Regiment Commander Xing called, and the Second Regiment had entered the predetermined offensive position and was waiting for operational orders. ”

"Report! Deputy Regiment Commander Hong has completed a roundabout task and requested the next step. ”

"Report! Battalion Commander Yuan reported that all the battalions on the battlefield had arrived at the designated location and were ready to launch an attack at any time......"

Chen Jize stood silently on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, the soldier's report kept ringing in his ears, and before the battle began, a solemn aura had already spread.

This is the highest mountain within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and he can almost have a bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield, and the place just eight or nine kilometers away is his inevitable goal this time!

"Where's the flying team?" Chen Jize raised his head, looked at the empty blue sky and white clouds in the distance, and asked lightly.

The communicator beside him immediately replied: "Back to the regiment commander, the division headquarters has just sent a telegram order, the flight team has taken off two minutes ago, and it is expected to reach the sky over Bamo within ten minutes. ”

"The order is that the artillery regiment will open fire immediately after the start of the air raid and maintain a continuous fire strike for ten minutes, during which the tank battalion and the second regiment must advance to within 200 meters of the enemy, and after ten minutes, launch a general attack together with the three regiments on the flank!"

"Understood!"

Chen Jize exhaled slowly, looking down at the small town in the distance, and an unprecedented sense of excitement arose.

His plan was very clear, using the strong firepower advantage and the tactical coordination between the troops, when the enemy had not yet responded effectively under the first wave of firepower, the armored troops and infantry cooperated to break into the city as quickly as possible to get close to the enemy, and the three regiments on the flanks launched an attack at the same time and quickly completed the encirclement, and then concentrated their firepower to destroy those strong fortresses one by one.

Since the little devil dares to fight positional warfare and urban street fighting, let them taste what artillery doctrine and infantry coordination are, he is also very experienced in this regard.

As a cadet who graduated from the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, the emphasis of the academy on the American style of fighting and strong firepower suppression has always been engraved in his heart.

At this moment, we can finally have the opportunity to command such a first-class unit in terms of firepower, equipment, and quality.

……

In the col between the two mountains, Da Kui and his party were besieged here.

The Japanese were still attacking endlessly, and the cols were bare, with only a few rocks and depressions to use as cover, but the bullets from above made it impossible for them to hide, and the number of casualties rose sharply.

"Hold on, brother, you'll be fine, you must hold on!"

Da Kui was bandaging the wounds of a captain, two bullets pierced his stomach and lower abdomen, the blood had already flowed all over the ground, and the snow-white gauze had no idea how many layers had been wrapped, but it would still be slowly penetrated by the blood.

The captain's face was pale, his lips had long since lost blood, and now he couldn't say a word, he could only quietly look up at the sky, and as time passed, his consciousness slowly became foggy, and his pupils gradually dilated.

"The deputy head of the regiment... Company commander he... He's dead. The soldier next to him reminded helplessly.

Da Kui was startled and hurriedly probed the captain's snort with his hand, but it turned out that it was self-evident that hemorrhagic shock had become the deadliest death.

"Turtle son little Japan, I'm your immortal!" Annoyed, Da Kui scolded fiercely, and the gauze on his hand rolled to the ground, and a trace of tears gradually slipped from his eyes.

This company commander was one of the soldiers killed by the Lao Chuan Army from Burma, and he was also a fellow villager that Da Kui was very familiar with, and now he could only watch him die little by little and he could not do anything about it.

"Deputy Commander, we... Shall we rush out? ”

"Where are you going? I'm afraid I'm going to die here. ”

"This should be done......"

The soldiers around you said a word, and their eyes were full of despair.

The radio has not been able to contact Ah Yi and them, and it has been four or five hours since they were besieged, and the corpses of their comrades are all over the ground, and everyone is already exhausted.

Moreover, the soldiers are running out of ammunition in their hands until now, and everyone's mood has fallen to the bottom, and they feel that the last hope is almost gone.

"Shut up Lao Tzu! Have you forgotten the oath you made before leaving the river when you were a fellow villager and gambled on it!? ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers present were silent, and some of them were thin-skinned and even lowered their heads red-faced.

Da Kui's face was frosty, and his cold and resolute eyes swept over everyone: "Today we can't escape, but with all the brothers accompanying Huangquan Road, it is also lively, I, Zhang Xianyong, have a dead word flag on my head, and a heroic soul on my body, so I don't have to be afraid of death!" ”

Before the Sichuan army went out of Sichuan to resist the Japanese, the soldier Wang Jiantang was presented by his father Wang Zhicheng with a banner with the word "death" written on it, encouraging his son to sacrifice his life for the country, bravely kill the enemy, and wrap his body in horse leather.

On the left side of the banner is written: I don't want you to be filial before me; May you be faithful to the nation.

And on the right: the national disaster is at the head, and the Japanese are hideous. The rise and fall of the country has a share. I wanted to serve, but I was too old. Fortunately, I have a son, and I consciously ask for help. Give a flag and carry it with you at all times. Wipe blood when wounded, and wrap up after death. Go forward bravely, don't forget your duty!

Dead Word Flag! That is the belief of the Sichuan army, it represents the great feelings of many Sichuan fathers and elders to send their sons to the battle, and it has also become the great spirit of the Sichuan people who swear to fight to the death and never admit defeat.

"Ge Laozi, if you die, you're afraid of a hammer!" A soldier turned his heart on his shoulder, picked up his rifle and shouted resolutely.

"That's it! The skull fell off the bowl with a big scar, and eighteen years later, he is a good man again. ”

"Kill one and earn one, and add more color to the dead brother!"

This sentence seemed to stir up a thousand waves, and all the soldiers present let out a burst of shouts, and there was no fear in their eyes.

The engineering regiment is basically Sichuan, and it can even be said that most of the soldiers of the entire Third Division are fighting with their own brothers on their own territory, and they can grind foreign workers and make jokes, and they are scolded as the worst army in China, and they are among the miscellaneous cards
