Chapter 410

The news of a regiment's leakage quickly reached Liao Mingyu's ears, but at this time, the two main regiments were at the front, and he had no extra troops to support.

Moreover, the Japanese had a very huge area of action tonight, not only the railway station, but also the entire north-south encirclement, and everywhere there were random flying bullets and dazzling fires of explosions, and the little devils took advantage of the night to launch wave after wave of Banzai charges as if they were crazy.

The sudden frenzied attack completely disrupted the deployment of the troops, and in the face of the dense crowd of people who constantly roared like ghosts, it was difficult for the soldiers to be as fearless as they were in the daytime, and in the panic, several lines of defense were torn by the Japanese army.

The little devils are also not in love with war, and after some of the defensive lines were breached, they immediately broke away from the battle and concentrated on retreating towards the gap, and by the time the various units of the expeditionary force reacted, it was already too late.

"Report Junzuo, the opening on the side of the third regiment has been blocked, and the second regiment is encircling and suppressing the last enemy, the problem should not be big, it's... Over there at the train station..."

Listening to Chen Jize's report, Liao Mingyu's brows slowly wrinkled together: "What about the specific situation?" ”

"A regiment of positions in the southwest corner has been lost, the Japanese have opened a gap in that position, and their main force is breaking out to defend a company here... All sacrificed. ”

After speaking, Chen Jize also sighed helplessly, there were some mistakes in his own defensive scheduling.

Liao Mingyu didn't say much, staring at the map, but playing with a pencil in his hand.

They are some distance from the train station, it is far away in the dark, and it is estimated that the battle is over when they get there, and now there are no other troops in their hands except for half of Dong Dao's guard battalion, even if they want to support now, it is a drop in the bucket.

After secretly planning for a while, Liao Mingyu casually threw the pencil on the table, and said sharply: "Inform them to be numb, let them temporarily shrink the defensive line, at least ensure that the main position is not lost, and talk about the rest." ”

"Understood."

……

After a night of fierce fighting, those beast-like figures were no longer visible on the battlefield where the smoke of gunfire had not cleared, but the corpses all over the ground seemed to tell the bloody rain of last night.

The positions of the various armies were also in shambles, the soldiers were expressionless, mechanically carrying the remains of their fallen comrades, the smell of blood seemed to still permeate the air for a long time, and the crows in the treetops made a piercing croak, as if they could not wait to start this gluttonous feast.

The Japanese are notoriously crazy, and these pigs and dogs are even more frenzied in a desperate situation, and they did cause varying degrees of casualties to the troops when they launched a sea of people to counter-charge at night, but the price was also huge.

No less than 5,000 Japanese soldiers were killed on the battlefield, but not a single wounded of them had either been killed on their own or were summarily executed by the soldiers of the expeditionary force who had cleaned the battlefield in the morning.

The main direction of the Japanese breakthrough was concentrated at the railway station garrisoned by a regiment in the southwest, and the defensive line of the new 22nd Division of the Indian Army stationed in the northwest. Because looking at the entire encirclement, only the garrisons in these two directions are the weakest.

The soldiers tried their best to prevent the enemy from counterattacking, but many of them managed to escape. Although it is not clear how many little devils will succeed in breaking through, one thing is certain, there are not many Japanese troops left in Myitkyina after a night of bloody fighting.

"Krupp, how many shells do we have left?"

On the artillery position, Liao Mingyu was holding a telescope to observe the front, and at present, all the artillery parameters have been adjusted, and the muzzle of the gun is pointed directly at the city of Myitkyina.

Krupp stood beside him like a mountain of meat, holding a sheep's thigh in his hand and feasting on it, his mouth full of oil and indescribable happiness, and he didn't even notice what others were saying.

Li Liansheng hurriedly stepped forward to remind: "Fatty, Junzuo asked you!" ”

"Huh? What...? Krupp was stunned for a moment, puffing out his cheeks and asked vaguely.

"Is the leg of lamb delicious?"

"Delicious..."

Embarrassed, Li Liansheng rolled his eyes, kicked on Krupp's fat buttocks, and scolded with hatred: "What a deflated calf, you know how to eat, ask you how many shells are left in our artillery regiment!" ”

It turned out to be this, and the fat man who said the artillery problem immediately came to his senses, wiped his oiled hands on his body, and quickly took out a small book from his pocket and flipped it over: "This... There are 386 mountain guns left in the 75 mountain guns, 233 in the 105 ones, 80 in the 155 ones, and almost one base number of mortars of all calibers remaining. ”

"On average, there are less than 10 shells left in each large-caliber field artillery, so it's for you to have fun in the past two days." Liao Mingyu teased with a smile.

Hearing this, Krupp had no choice but to smile and scratch his head, but that's what happened, the feeling of a hundred shots in unison was really refreshing.

"Forget it, anyway, the later supplement is coming soon, you two listen to me, I'll run out of shells later, and give me a hard time to greet the city, don't lose the limelight in this last battle."

"Yes! Junza! The two replied in unison.

Liao Mingyu smiled and said nothing, Stilwell's joint action plan had been sent early in the morning, and today the whole line will launch a final general offensive to annihilate all the Japanese in Myitkyina in one fell swoop.

According to the character of the "sour vinegar Joe" artillery doctrine, the artillery must have opened the way before the attack, and then the armored troops cooperated with the infantry to kick the door, so he conveyed the order to the troops early in the morning, preparing to give the little devil a "baptism of God"

Although the battle last night was hot, Liao Mingyu knew very well that the Japanese had exhausted all their strength, and no matter how much they fled, the remaining troops would never launch a Banzai charge like last night, and the defeat of these animals was a foregone conclusion.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the 3rd Division on the South Road, the 72nd Army and the 2nd Army on the East Road, the two divisions of the Indian Army stationed in the north, and the artillery regiments of the major armies of each route were all ready.

Countless shells poured down on the city, and the terrifying and dense explosions covered the sky, and it was not uncommon for hundreds of artillery pieces to fire at one point, and all kinds of houses were blown to pieces in an instant, and the Japanese soldiers hiding inside could not find any safe area at all, and would only turn into powder along with the rubble in the sound of explosions.

The Allies didn't think about preserving the building at all, and Stilwell was also frightened by little Japan's madness last night.

In just ten minutes, Myitkyina was baptized by artillery like never before, and there were not many intact buildings in the dense area of more than ten kilometers
