If Taunggyi's defeat has made Yamashita Bongwen difficult to parry, the sudden appearance of the armored brigade in the lower reaches of the Yinrawaddy River is more like a sharp knife pierced in the heart, heartbreaking and painful.

Originally, the so-called Mandalay defense plan of the Japanese army was to use the Taunggyi Nam River and the Yon Rawaddy River as the basic defense line, and use the vast depth of Mandalay Province to block and retreat, attack and defend, and then the two wings on bicycles made a surprise attack on Lashio.

The strategic plan is good, but how can the world be unpredictable, first the Yinlun troops were completely annihilated by the Huaxia armored brigade that suddenly appeared, and then the 5th Division of Taunggyi entered the trap and was eaten by the counter-encirclement, and both ends were beaten into dogs, how to play?

Chen Jize did not choose to stop there, the armored brigade with the tank regiment as the vanguard, continued to advance southward, and it took only three days to reach Mithila from the time it reached the lower reaches of the Yinrawaddy River.

It was still the tank regiment that broke through, the armored regiment and the truck infantry were behind, and the American bombers in the sky also came to assist the gangsters, and this important Japanese logistics city was easily taken by them without much resistance, and an infantry brigade stationed here was basically wiped out, and countless weapons and equipment and armaments were captured.

The armored brigade also replenished the gasoline fuel and some food supplies consumed by the fighting for days, as for other useless things... Burn it all and leave it behind.

After attacking south for several days, the soldiers were exhausted, but no one showed a trace of dissatisfaction, and even most of them were extremely excited, and the slaughter of the little devils was not soft at all.

The armored brigade pushed all the way to the south, and in less than a week, it advanced several hundred kilometers south from the upper reaches of the Yinrawaddy River, which simply subverted people's imagination that this battle could still be fought like this.

Now the little devil in Mandalay is almost unable to hold back, the morale of the troops in the past two days is low and absent-minded, and the unknown enemy suddenly runs behind the ass, who is not panicked?

However, there is more to it than that, there are more desperate things that await them......

"Tell me, this little devil actually got a new rifle, hey? But it still looks like a three-eight big cover. ”

In the camp, Fan Xiangwu fiddled with a Japanese rifle, held it up and aimed at it in front of his eyes, and kept judging it.

The appearance is not much different from the 38 type, the weight, length and basic structure of the two are about the same, they are all stabbing weapons with the addition of a bayonet to change into a 1.5 meter 5 "spear" in seconds, the only big difference is that the 99 type has changed from the 6.5mm caliber of the 38 type to 7.7mm.

"Deputy brigade commander, don't underestimate this thing, the power of the 77 bullet is much stronger than the previous 38 big cover, and it is the same as our 762, small eyes in and big eyes out."

Yuan Li walked in, he also took out a ninety-nine type from the oilcloth box, and pulled the bolt with a bang, the handguard is very new but the processing is a little rough, but the butter in the bolt is still clearly visible, it can be seen that these weapons are brand new and have not been used.

"I didn't say that I looked down on it, I thought that when I was in Shanxi, not to mention the 38 big cover, even the old sleeve was not enough, and we were all using big blades to cut the little devils..."

Fan Xiangwu threw away the rifle in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. At the beginning, the Northwest Army was not as good as the descendants, and if some Japanese equipment could be captured in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, it would be very precious, but now, I can't look down on these big bolts.

"Hehe, that's not... People are more dead than people, and goods have to be thrown away, but I don't understand... Why did this little devil design a tripod on this gun? ”

Saying that, Yuan Li pulled a monopod under the body of the gun, the length of nearly thirty centimeters was very abrupt, and he didn't understand what the little devil was installing a tripod on this rifle.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Is it to reduce recoil? But the infantry is basically "Voldemort", who will set up the rifle high to shoot, isn't that a light in the toilet, looking for death?

The tent was filled with all kinds of weapons, and the two of them, driven by curiosity, kept picking up the same guns and examining them.

The Japanese are not without progress, and they have seen a lot of new equipment recently, such as Type 99 rifles, Type 99 light machine guns, Type 97 vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, etc...

The Japanese army, which has always advocated accurate shooting and saving ammunition, actually used its own submachine guns with unique shapes, although the number is small and the reliability is very poor, but it also shows that they are still investing in this war.

"Buckle your wow... Yuan Sang, Fan Sang..."

"Huh??"

A strange Japanese sentence suddenly came from the side, and when the two looked back, it turned out to be Hong Mu learning Japanese in a weird way.

The kid didn't know where to find a fart curtain hat to wear on his head, and with a katana in his hand, he swaggered in with a looped leg.

"stinky boy! This virtuous character is careful to give you a shot. Fan Xiangwu scolded angrily, and followed his head.

"Hehe, the one who can jump on the master hasn't been born yet, I said Lao Fan, there are several boxes of sake found in the garage in the back, do you want to take two sips?" Hong Mu didn't mind, he pulled off his fart curtain hat and threw it on the ground, and asked with a hippie smile.

"Come on, that thing is not much worse than clear water, it's boring to drink." Fan Xiangwu waved his hand, his face full of disgust.

Hong Mu still wanted to joke, but suddenly noticed Chen Jize, who was seriously drawing the combat map in the corner, and was embarrassed to make any more troubles, so he hurriedly ran over to say hello:

"Jize, everything has been sorted out, and the oil has been replenished, where are we going next?"

Chen Jize put down the pen and paper, stared at the map in front of him and pondered slightly, and said with a serious face: "Just control the Mitiera area, this is the main transportation route for the Japanese army to retreat south, and it is also the only way for them to reinforce the north, if everything goes well... Within two days, the little devils in Mandalay should panic. ”

Originally, he wanted to continue to wave his army south all the way to Yangon, but unfortunately after Mitiera, the terrain became hilly and mountainous, which was not suitable for the rapid advance of armored troops, and it was easy to be ambushed.

Coupled with the continuous fighting, the ammunition consumption was very serious, and although it was replenished by the US army's airdrops, the amount of ammunition still could not withstand the toss like the beginning.

After all, the battle line is too long, except for a dozen umbrella boxes dropped from time to time, normal logistics supplies can basically be said to be none.

Moreover, many tanks and armored vehicles have also had some mechanical failures, and the fighters have been working overtime for the past two days to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the troops will not be affected.

Fortunately, the Japanese army also stockpiled gasoline in Mitiera, and after occupying this place, they also replenished some fuel, otherwise those dozens of iron bumps could only be turned into ground-sitting guns, and all tank soldiers had to use guns as infantry men.

Don't look at the long-distance run, there are too many things to consider, Chen Jize's young face was full of exhaustion, but there was still a brightness in his eyes:

"Let the brothers rest for the night, and we will set off tomorrow, and if we don't give the little devils in Mandalay a little cruelty, wouldn't such a big circle be in vain?"

"Hehe, that's not it, I have to let the little devil taste what the meat bun tastes like." Hong Mu echoed with a smile.

As long as the little devils in Mandalay are eliminated, the Japanese army in Burma will basically have little left, and who will be able to stop their 88th Army's script at that time?
