Chapter 401
As the saying goes, as soon as the cannon fires, tens of thousands of tons of shells cover the heads of the Japanese army in just over ten minutes, and the fire continues. There is no unit in China that can carry out such a large-scale continuous artillery attack, so the arrogant Yankees and Liao Mingyu, who has the blessing of the system, are not distressed.
The shelling lasted for half an hour, and there was hardly a single complete balcony of the house in the entire Myitkyina district, all the buildings were reduced to rubble, and countless bodies were buried in the depths.
Many Japanese soldiers who had been blown off their hands and legs fell to the wreckage and kept wailing, but no one could save them at this moment, just like the end of the world, and the air seemed to be filled with despair.
At the same time as the shelling stopped, the armored forces had already begun to move, and the tank regiment of the new 38th Division under the command of Sun Liren had even more armored strength than Liao Mingyu, and they were also the first troops to storm Myitkyina.
The sound of gunfire is still echoing in the city, there are still many figures in the ruins who are stubbornly resisting, and the little devils are like cockroaches that can't be killed, no matter how terrifying and unsolvable the firepower you have, they can always survive in the cracks.
Some of them hid in the tunnel fortress and escaped, and when the enemy entered the city, they immediately drilled out to counterattack, while some desperate Japanese soldiers... But silently pointed the muzzle of the gun at his head.
At present, there is no point in defending or not defending for the Japanese army, they are just doing the last dying struggle to maintain the so-called dignity and glory, especially some radical grassroots officers are trying their best to encourage the soldiers to burn the enemy.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the 38th Division of the Indian Army passed through the Long River in the north, and the thirteen Shermans of the tank regiment rushed into Myitkyina at the fastest speed, and the two infantry regiments 112 and 132 quickly followed, and the troops pointed directly at the last line of defense of the Japanese army in the north.
Later, the new 22nd Division and the Mai detachment also attacked from the flank, ruthlessly crushing the Japanese army with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.
The two main regiments of the Honor 3rd Division followed closely, and almost at the same time as the Indian troops attacked the city, Yuan Li's armored battalion also broke through the Japanese position, and the gate defense line arranged by the little devils almost did not play any role in blocking it.
East... Yu Xiaoqing personally went to the front line to command his Yu division to take the lead, and Zhang Lixian, He Shuguang and others led their respective troops to take the lead and rushed towards the target.
At about a quarter past ten, the Japanese perimeter defense line of the city was disintegrated, and the few remaining Japanese retreated to the central area, using tunnels and some forts to continue their stubborn resistance.
Buzzing......!
The roar of fighter engines streaked across the sky, and at the same time dropped bombs one after another, blowing up all the Japanese soldiers hiding in the ruins into pulp.
Tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns relentlessly bombarded the face, not giving the other side the slightest chance to resist, except for those outlaws who carried out suicide attacks with explosive bags, which basically could not stop the advance of the armies from all sides.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, communication with the Fifth Brigade has been interrupted, the Ninth Brigade has retreated less than two hundred, Kenji Zhong Sayu has been shattered, and all the soldiers under his command have been killed."
"The 139th Wing has retreated to the mouth of the West Field, Yamaguchi Osa was seriously injured by enemy planes, Chief of Staff Sasaki was killed, and the enemy advance was less than two blocks away from us."
"Yoshino Shaosa has led the death squad to the front......"
The fatal battle reports were sent to the city defense commander Kiyozaburo Okazaki one by one, but he closed his eyes and turned a blind eye, kneeling quietly on the cloth mat with a sudden expression.
The dust above his head kept falling, and the reinforced concrete walls were shaken as if they were going to collapse at any moment.
There were no more people in the headquarters, and most of the people who could move were sent out, and there was only one adjutant left next to the commander of the dignified lieutenant general, and even the telegraph soldiers were playing with explosives bags.
Okazaki Kiyozaburo slowly raised his head, he saw the sun flag hanging on the wall and the four big characters on the top, his heart was already in a state of flux.
Pulling out the katana in front of him, Okazaki narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the blade glowing with white light, and asked casually, "Everything is arranged, right?" ”
Adjutant Saito immediately replied respectfully: "Hey, please rest assured, everything has been prepared, all the wing flags and important documents have been destroyed, and in five minutes we will launch the final jade shatter attack!" ”
"Yo Sai, the cherry blossoms are about to bloom in their last splendor, Saito-kun, please!"
"Your Excellency, Commander..."
Okazaki laughed at himself and raised his hand to stop Saito's words, he knew very well that he would die if he came to this point, and it was better to die a decent death than to rush out and be beaten to pieces by machine gun shells, or to be tortured by the Huaxia people after being captured.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the armies of all walks of life basically completed the cleaning of the city, and in the face of the extremely superior forces, those little devils who stubbornly resisted and refused to surrender became rotten meat on the ground, and they could no longer be seen in the devastated ruins, only the stumps and broken arms scattered all over the place and mottled bloodstains.
"Platoon commander, look! There's a devil's stronghold ahead! ”
A group of soldiers from the Indian garrison wearing M1 steel helmets, carrying Springfield rifles and Thomson had just turned in from the street corner, and happened to see a small three-story concrete building in front of them, with a number of Japanese plaster flags planted on it, although the floor was shattered by shells, the main body was still standing in place.
"Good boy, we may have found the command of the little devil, haha! Old grandson, take the third class up to find out! ”
The leading ensign smiled happily, and kept repeating that luck was good, if he went in and caught a few devil officials, he would make a fortune.
Four or five soldiers immediately took the lead, and a few others pressed back, and quickly touched the watchtower under the leadership of the squad leader, and in front of them was an open space, and just as they moved through the bunker to the door, a burst of gunfire suddenly came through.
"Dadada!"
Puff puff... The fastest soldiers were beaten into a sieve and killed on the spot, and before the other people could dodge, two grenades exploded around them, and the ten-man infantry squad was instantly reimbursed, and the platoon commander not far away saw that it was a heartbreak.
"There's an enemy upstairs!"
"See clearly, two heavy machine guns, both in the south corner of the third floor!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Dada...!"
I thought that the Japanese army had little resistance power, but unexpectedly, black holes suddenly poked out of the holes in those walls, and they shot desperately at them without saying anything.
"Don't get together! Find cover! The platoon commander hurriedly shot at the roof of the building and beckoned his men to disperse and hide.
Bullets rattled against the walls, soldiers scrambled to dodge, and many of them fell in pools of blood in the chaos.
"Hide for me, wait for support!" The platoon commander leaned against the wall and shouted hoarsely.
There are only 20 or so people in his hands, and there are no heavy weapons, and the little devil has a condescending advantage, and there is an open field in front of him, so if he wants to charge, he will become a live target for the other party.
