Chapter 520
The scorching sun is in the sky, the scorched earth is splashed everywhere, and the surrounding soldiers are all gray and dirty like a group of yam eggs, if they stand up and jump twice now, it is estimated that everyone can shake off two catties of dirt.
Qiu Changfu wiped it on his face casually, sweat and dirt had long been indistinguishable from each other, and the soldiers beside him fell one after another, and he no longer remembered that this was the first wave of attacks by the Japanese army.
There were more corpses outside the position, and the little devils had to pay a considerable price for each step forward, but they turned a deaf ear to them and their only purpose was to break into the village.
The resistance in the village also made the little devil confused, it stands to reason that there are not many Chinese people in it, but the other party's posture is too unbelievable... Could it be that the information is wrong, and there is a big fish in it?
The Japanese who didn't know what was going on confirmed their guess, and there was either an important person in the Chinese team opposite, or important materials or close documents, anyway, it was certainly not as simple as it seemed.
The area of this small mountain village is not large, and the direction of the Japanese attack is also very limited, and the most infuriating thing is that the open land has become a shooting range for the opponent to practice guns.
In such a situation, you can either use the number of people to go up and break through the damn open field in front of you, or you can bring in heavy artillery and bombard indiscriminately to completely extinguish the opponent's firepower.
The commander of the devil also seems to be more energetic, regardless of the casualties of his troops, he has to eradicate this place in life and death.
……
In the underground main control room of the Heihe base, Liao Mingyu stood alone in it, staring intently at the big snowflake screen.
A detailed topographical map of central Burma was displayed on the screen, as well as the current location of each unit, including the remnants of the transport regiment besieged by the Japanese in the village of Saigao.
On the Eastern Front, the 50th Division and the 200th Division marched eastward to Siam and confronted the Japanese 4th Division in the Chiang Mai area.
The U.S. 20th Air Force fully supported the operation in the region, and all combat squadrons rushed to eastern Burma and assembled at Heihe Air Base, and the newly formed 17th Air Force also placed its headquarters at Heihe Airport.
At the same time, several other Japanese troops stationed in Siam also rushed to the border area between Burma and Siam, along with the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Siam Defense Army, and the scene became extremely hot, gathering more than 100,000 troops here in just one week, and a major battle was about to break out.
On the other side, the Battle of Ringanqiang was basically coming to an end, and the 3rd Main Army took the lead in attacking the 533 Heights and attacked the Japanese rear headquarters at night, causing the defenders on the two fronts of the opposing side to disorganize themselves, followed by a serious defeat.
In the early morning of the next day, the main force of the 3rd Regiment entered the central area of Ringanqiang, and the armored brigade also broke through the defense line of the 501st Heights almost at the same time.
The remnants of the Japanese army continued to resist on the basis of civilian houses, vainly waiting for reinforcements to arrive, but all this was doomed to be in vain.
The two mixed brigades supported by the Japanese army in the north were blocked by Long Wen and could not move in the Magway area to the south, and it was only a matter of time before the defenders of Ringanqiang perished
Originally, the situation was very good, but there was a problem on the side of the transport regiment, and now the situation is roughly clear, and there are more than 2,000 Japanese troops in total, who enter Mandalay from Magway Province as a squadron, and then go north to complete the assembly, the purpose is to destroy the logistics of the front-line troops of the 88th Army.
After defeating the vanguard of the transport regiment, this group of Japanese troops did not stop, on the one hand, they besieged the remnants of the transport regiment, and the others continued to move north to occupy the Mithila logistics battalion.
Mitiera's garrison had only one company, and it was impossible to resist the Japanese attack, so in order to prevent the enemy from obtaining a large amount of supplies, they had to blow up tons of ammunition and supplies, which could make someone feel distressed to death.
Under the sharp turn of the situation, the main forces of the 3rd Division, the Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the Armored Brigade were all besieging Ringanqiang, and once the rear route was cut off, they could not get supplies at all, and the huge daily ammunition consumption was enough to drag down the entire army.
If the situation is not improved, the front-line armies can only face the intention of withdrawing, but at this moment, the reinforcements of the devils have been surrounded, and this situation is not at all possible to withdraw if they want to.
Those heavy artillery and tanks can't just walk away like people, and if the stalemate continues for a long time, the 3rd Division and the armored brigade, which cannot be replenished, are even more likely to suffer an extremely tragic rout.
Hong Mu, who knew that he had made a monstrous disaster, took the initiative to ask to lead his troops back to help, but was rejected by Chen Jize on the spot.
Chen Jize immediately contacted Long Wenwen to discuss, the current situation can only suspend the front-line offensive first, the third division will withdraw the first main force and the second main force to Ren'anqiang to solve the remnants of the enemy first, and at the same time send a rapid mobile force to return as soon as possible.
When their coping strategies and operational instructions were sent to Liao Mingyu's office, the remnants of the transport regiment besieged in the mountain village had already been fighting the Japanese for half a day, and the situation was very critical.
In fact, at this moment of crisis, Liao Mingyu can still mobilize not many troops, once the Japanese army eats this force, the next step will definitely be to block all transportation lines, completely cut off the ground logistics of the third division and the armored brigade, like a fish thorn stuck in your throat, if you can't die, you will have to die uncomfortably.
Qiu Changfu's telegram for help was sent several times in succession, and everyone knew that there was a brother army besieged in Xigao Village near Mytiera, maybe it was too late to send troops over, but it was impossible to see death without help, besides, there were still half of the military supplies of the front-line troops there, and if they were taken away by the Japanese, it would be over.
Long Wenwen has organized a group of reinforcements to rush to the trapped area, but according to the location, it will take two days to get there, and it is not known whether there will be an ambush on the way, and Mandalay and Lashio are all second-line troops, and the distance is too far to reach.
However, it is not completely impossible at the moment, Liao Mingyu mobilized the aviation team under Jamie to support at the first time, and then transferred two battalions from the guard regiment, led by Hao Zhigang to go straight to the Xigao Village Rescue Transport Regiment, and the defense work in the base selected 2,000 people from the recruit battalion to fill the vacancy.
However, there is a distance of nearly 200 kilometers from Heihe to Xigao Village, and I can't count on it for a while, I'm afraid that when I get to Qiu Changfu, they will have been eaten by devils.
Just when Liao Mingyu was anxious, a phone call from Stilwell finally made him stretch his brows,
……
