Chapter 557

Most of the Japanese troops in Burma retreated to Naypyidaw and Pyinmana, which were relatively small in terms of high mountains and hills, but still covered by extremely vast jungles.

Fang Jingyao's strategy was very simple, first let the bombers use napalm to "barbecue" a large area, clear the dense jungle on the periphery that was used as cover by the Japanese army, and then coordinate the infantry and artillery, gather the artillery units of the two main regiments to cover the cover in a wave, and the infantry attacked Naypyidaw and Pyinmana from four directions in a pincer attack at the same time.

In fact, there are not many Japanese troops stationed in the Naypyidaw area, and they are only one and a half wings when they are full, and they are still distributed over several hundred square kilometers of land, and their strength has long been dwarfed.

The Japanese, hit by napalm, hurriedly withdrew from their front-line positions, and the traps they had prepared in the jungle were instantly wiped out, and not only that, but the rear positions were also subjected to heavy shelling.

One after another, the shells fell between the mountains and forests, and the scattered earth covered the vast expanse, and the firelight could be clearly seen from several kilometers away, and the intensity of the shells felt like the mountains were about to be flattened.

Many little devils can't figure it out, those mountains where there are not many people stationed in the first place, as far as the eye can see, are bombed by planes and artillery in turn, as for it? Is this still the Chinese army, it's even wider than the old Americans.

In the gap between the artillery fire, the two main regiments moved to the front line early to get ready, and after a few moments, the shell impact point began to extend backwards, and behind them ... Three flares soared into the sky, signaling that the order to attack had been sounded!

Under the order of the commanders of each team, the attack officially began, and the soldiers rushed towards the Japanese army in small teams and under the cover of various firepower points.

The Merrill detachment was not idle, and all five combat brigades were engaged in the battle, coordinating with the main forces.

The battle seemed to have entered a fever pitch from the very beginning, the radio of the forward command headquarters had not been cut off, the battle reports were piled up on the table like snowflakes, and the operational staff officers were constantly building the battlefield situation on the sand table, and they were very busy.

Fang Jingyao stood aside and stared at the sand table, pointing out and changing the details from time to time, now the main force has achieved wireless short-wave electronic communication, the penetration rate is very high, the order will be sent to the front line as soon as possible, and even the company-level units in the operation can directly contact the forward regiment command headquarters, saving a lot of trouble, not to mention, can also quickly request fire support.

If you look closely, you will find that there is an indescribable anger in his calm eyes,

It is impossible to say that I don't care about my father's death, and if I really want to say anything, it is to make the Japanese feel despair and pain on the battlefield.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment took the high ground of the Japanese left flank, and the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment rushed into the city of Pyinmana and engaged the Japanese in street fighting...

At five o'clock in the afternoon, according to the guidance of aerial reconnaissance, the artillery attacked a railway station in the rear of the Japanese army, blowing up a large number of military supplies...

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the outer defense line was occupied one by one, and the little devils began to withdraw their troops, retreating along the Dawati line, and a regiment occupied Naypyidaw and continued to advance south...

In just one day, the Japanese defenses at Naypyidaw and Pyinmana were shattered, and more than 3,800 Japanese soldiers were unable to retreat, divided and surrounded by a flood of expeditionary soldiers, and their destruction was only a matter of time.

……

In a material camp of a certain unit of the third division of the front, the soldiers were processing all kinds of materials sent from the rear, and the heavy trucks drove here without staying too long, and left in a hurry after unloading the goods.

"Hiss~!"

In addition to transport trucks of various sizes, there were hundreds of military horses of all kinds, eating fodder in the stables, and occasionally neighing merrily.

These military horses are all heavy horses from the old side of the United Kingdom, used to transport supplies in some inconvenient places instead of cars, and more than a dozen of them are still extremely strong British native Shire horses.

Each Shire horse looks very tall and mighty, about two meters and five meters tall, ordinary soldiers are not as tall as its shoulders, and its weight has reached about a ton, and a single horse can easily drag several tons of heavy objects forward, the phrase "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse" is not good in front of a shire horse.

Company commander Huang Daming was riding on a tall horse, and I saw him smiling and his eyes like torches, as if he was looking at a lover, and kept stroking the bright mane on the horse's neck.

The shire horse under his crotch has broad and powerful shoulders, a slender neck and body parts, and well-developed muscles all over the body.

"Commander Huang, you've been watching here for a day, you really like it... Why don't I pick one for you, and then bring the big horse back to the tent at night? ”

"Hahaha..."

Seeing that he was so engrossed, the platoon commander of the baggage battalion next to him, who was responsible for feeding the horses, couldn't help but joke, and this remark caused everyone to laugh.

"Batch melons, don't understand the silk, clear the nose and two cylinders! Lao Tzu doesn't have the same knowledge as you, but you can give me a horse for this horse. ”

Huang Daming, who was born in the northwest, has been dealing with horses since he was a child, and his family used to be a herdsman who raised horses.

"Yes, don't look at it growing tall and strong, its guts are fucking smaller than a donkey, last time in Binma, the cannon of the second regiment just rang out, and these cowards were so frightened that they almost didn't raise Lao Tzu's horse pen."

The transport platoon commander dropped the horse brush and complained with disgust on his face.

Although Sharma is strong and full of strength, he is too brave to be a war horse, and he is very expensive and delicate, especially in this hot tropical rainforest, it is easy to get sick, in order to feed these four-legged ancestors, the platoon commander has spent a lot of effort.

"Okay, Lao Zhou, I won't talk to you, this horse is Lao Tzu now, you have to give Lao Tzu a good look, if there is anything wrong, I won't let you go!" Huang Daming turned over and patted Sharma's strong tendon meat, and his eyes were really full of love.

"Hey, what's the drop? Raw cuts? Snatch? The three of you are really worse than devils, why do you want to choke on your pocket when you see any good things? Aren't you afraid that the gendarmerie will invite you to tea? The platoon commander couldn't help but say angrily.

"Hehe, then you have to go and talk to our group." Huang Daming was not ashamed, but proud, and laughed proudly.

The transport platoon commander was speechless, and he really had nowhere to reason when he encountered these unreasonable soldiers of the third main regiment.

The barracks were bustling with activity, and the commander would ask the baggage soldiers to count and sort, and then load and send them one by one according to the needs of the troops on the front line.

The soldiers standing guard were scattered around the sentry posts, which were not at the forefront of the battle, so they didn't have much vigilance, just walked back and forth with their guns on their backs, and chatted with their companions from time to time.

"What man!?"

A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly noticed movement in the woods and immediately raised his gun and shouted in that direction.
