At the same time, in front of the armored brigade was the 67th Wing and the 163rd Wing of the Japanese Army, in order to ensure speed, they abandoned most of their baggage, only carried the necessary supplies, and even used bicycles as transport vehicles, their own guns and ammunition equipment, or disassembled mortars, mountain artillery accessories are hung on the frame, and with some motorized infantry and small light trucks, just like a mechanized rapid reaction force...

Oh no... It should be said that semi-mechanized and semi-human troops ... Two catties of rice can run 30 kilometers, and such a strange tactical idea can only be imagined by the Japanese with a clear brain circuit.

Yamashita was prepared with two hands, one was the result of the Taunggyi Battlefield, and the other was that he planned to repeat his old tricks and regain his reputation as the "Malay Tiger".

He mobilized a large number of bicycles from Malaysia and Siam in advance, set off from the west bank of Mandalay and then went north through the Kyaukse Plain, using the advantage of his swift action to penetrate behind enemy lines to sneak attack the rear of the Chinese.

"Ding ding... Bang Dang·· Bang dang..."

The sound of steel colliding constantly in the marching procession was constantly eliminated, the cold steel rim was in direct contact with the hard ground, and the frame without any shock absorption made the taste of the butt you can imagine.

However, the Japanese soldiers, who had always been accustomed to hardship and hard work, were able to accept it, and the large plains west of Mandalay were very suitable for marching on wheels, and the two wings of more than 6,000 people and more than 8,000 bicycles advanced northward at an astonishing speed.

Although the process was a little uncomfortable, the novel way of marching was faster than running in two teams, and it took them only five days to get from Mandalay, which would have taken at least twice as long as the Indo-Burma highway.

The two sidecar motorcycles in the team stopped on the side of the road, and one Osa, one Nakasa, and one Nakasa, came down from above.

"Sasaki-kun, there are still about twenty kilometers to reach the Minjin Mountains, so you don't have to be so worried about it then." Nakasa stepped forward and said with a smile, as if relieved in his words.

"Well, that's it, it's finally here."

Dazuo's mood is the same, they set out from Mandalay a week ago, during which they can only stop and go in order to avoid aerial reconnaissance, most of the soldiers use weeds and branches to weave camouflage, as soon as they hear a movement in the sky, they immediately stop and lie on the ground motionless, and a few days of eating and sleeping in the open make everyone live like a group of savages.

Although the Plains were easy to march, there was little shelter from the terrain and it was not easy to detect if the warplanes flew through the air.

Fortunately, the most dangerous journey has passed, and there are Minjin Mountains and northern Burma's rainforests ahead, as long as you can enter it, you don't have to worry about aerial reconnaissance, and when the time comes, the troops will go all the way north to Lashio, which will definitely turn him upside down!

Thinking of this, Sasaki was in a good mood and waved his hand as if to say, "Hehe... Suzuki-kun has worked hard, let the soldiers rest and prepare first, and then we will move forward when we are full of food and drink. ”

"Hey! Your Excellency is so gracious. Suzuki bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, although everyone is the captain of the wing, he still has to bow his head in terms of seniority.

The nearly 6,000 troops of the two wings stopped in place to rest, during which the squadron in front also sent sentries to explore the way, but everyone was sleepy and tired, and they wanted to sit down immediately to relieve their stiff legs, and how many people had the energy to carry out the boring exploration mission.

And all this was seen by the armored brigade scouts hidden in the bushes in the distance and reported the situation back at the first time.

······

"Bendang にfatigueれた! I can't stand this leg anymore. ”

Jiro Takeshimo, a Japanese soldier, threw the bicycle to the ground and fell straight to the ground, despite the surprised gaze of his companion.

The two calves twitched slightly, and there were constant bursts of soreness on the buttocks, and the situation of the large Japanese soldiers around them was almost the same, all caused by riding this bicycle with only steel rims for a long time.

"Kusoyaro! Do you look like you, stinky boy? Beware of the slap in the face when the squad leader sees it. The older Jun Cao came over and kicked him, and scolded with hatred.

The two of them were originally fellow villagers, and they both knew each other before joining the army, so he just reminded him, otherwise he would have been pulled up and cleaned up by other soldiers.

Hearing this, Jiro Takeshita reluctantly got up and sat down, but he was still muttering: "That can't make us tired to death on the bicycle, it's only been a day's journey..."

"Shut up! Sit down, stop talking nonsense, wait a little while and go to the front, don't forget what we're out for. ”

Jun Cao unceremoniously interrupted him, his cold gaze swept around, and the soldiers lying crookedly next to him hurriedly sat up straight.

Still complaining, I don't look at when this is, it is quite terrifying to deal with this kind of thorny soldiers in the Japanese army, and these new recruits who have been added are unruly, how can they be so unruly in the previous soldiers.

After being reprimanded by Big Brother, Jiro Takeshita didn't dare to say anything more, obviously he had been cleaned up by the chief many times before because of certain things.

The hot sun was shining in the sky, scorching the earth and making the people below sweat, Takeshita Jiro's team was actually sent out to carry out a reconnaissance mission, but the soldiers couldn't stand the fatigue of the day, most of them had already hid in the shade of the trees to rest, and only a few people were left to stand guard reluctantly.

Buzz... Gurgle...

The Japanese soldiers were enjoying their hard-won leisure time, when suddenly, a strange sound came from directly in front of them.

Like a stone mill running over the ground, like the hammer of steel colliding with steel, it sounded strange, much like the sound of their large army staring at the mix of bicycles and motorcycles. Most of the Japanese soldiers looked in that direction curiously, but they didn't react for a while because they were still far away.

"Is this..."

"Could it be someone from the transport brigade? How did they get in that direction? ”

····

"That's not right! All on alert!"

The sound is getting louder and louder from far to near, and experienced veterans can already hear it, where the hell is this transport team, it is obviously the sound of tank tracks rubbing against the ground and engines.

At this moment, several small black dots suddenly appeared on the small hillside a few hundred meters away, and more than a dozen Sherman tanks slowly crossed the hillside, and the thick 75mm gun barrel glistened in the sun, but this scene made the Japanese soldiers present tremble.

"Enemy attack!"

"The tanks of the Chinese people!!"

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The tank convoy was the first to fire, and the noisy shouts were accompanied by the roar of the artillery, and the shells smashed into the Japanese squad, and in an instant the barrage covered a large area in front of them, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the sand and rocks.

"Fuck! How? Change the girls to beat you more accurately than you! In one of the tanks, Hong Mu was holding a walkie-talkie and roaring

Because the cannon was fired during the march, it was really embarrassing, and only a few people were taken away by a dozen shells, but it also frightened the Japanese soldiers of this reconnaissance team, and the rest of the little devils all turned around and ran away in fear.

"The tank convoy continues to move at full speed, all machine gunners, give Lao Tzu a hard beat"

After Hong Mu finished speaking, he was the first to get out of the turret, straightened the M2 heavy machine gun in front of him, loaded the bolt in one go, and pulled the trigger without hesitation...
