Helpless, Chen Xinmin had no choice but to squat down and pat him on the shoulder.

"Huh? What's wrong? What do you say..."The third platoon commander turned his head to look at the company commander.

Maybe even he didn't hear what he said clearly, and he raised his hand and patted his ears hard, and his uncomfortable appearance made people feel sad.

"I said you're okay, right? Who hit the signal flare just now, and Li Shuanggui and others? ”

Afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear, Chen Xinmin asked loudly at the top of his voice.

There were originally more than thirty soldiers in the third row plus the original one, but there were still twelve or thirteen people left in the scene.

And after looking around, he didn't find Li Shuanggui's figure, and Chen Xinmin suddenly had a bad premonition.

After hearing the other party's words clearly, the three platoon commanders remained silent, just looked at the wreckage of the bombing not far away, gritted his teeth and shook his head with difficulty.

Needless to say, the flare was fired at the point where the bomb was dropped, and there was almost no chance of survival in it...

Chen Xinmin's brows furrowed, he couldn't believe that reckless guy with a big fortune actually stayed in the center of the bombing zone.

The tragic situation of the Japanese can be seen, and the outcome can be imagined in it...

"Correspondent, immediately send a report to the command that the Japanese artillery unit has been destroyed, and the task of the reconnaissance company has been completed!"

"Yes!"

Chen Xinmin, who was depressed in his heart, walked towards the riverbed with a gun after speaking, he wanted to go and see it in person, no matter what, he wanted to see people alive and dead to see corpses.

At this moment, an injured young soldier next to him caught Chen Xinmin's attention, if he remembered correctly, he seemed to be the little guy who had been following Li Shuanggui all along.

Qiu Lin, who was covered in black ash, stood up with the help of his comrades, and the blood left on his forehead stained half of his face red, but he didn't care at all.

"Huh! Wait a minute..."

The medic wanted to bandage his wounds, but the other party ignored him, just glanced at the direction of the smoke-filled riverbed, and strode forward

"Xiaolinzi, why are you going?" The third platoon leader saw a clue, and for fear that something would happen to the other party, he hurriedly got up and grabbed him.

"I have to go to Brother Li, he's still there..."Qiu Lin struggled to squeeze a sentence out of his mouth.

Perhaps because of the excessive blood loss from the wound, or perhaps because of the concussion of his head, his face looked pale and bloodless, and his voice was weak, as if he could collapse at any moment.

"Don't... Alas..."The third platoon commander still wanted to persuade, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his lips.

He can fully understand the other party's feelings, but he doesn't know how to explain the cruel reality for a while.

Qiu Lin didn't stop, with a glimmer of hope in his heart, he still dragged his steps forward,

The third platoon leader wanted to follow, but was stopped by a pair of hands: "Lao Jiao... Rest and I'll go with him. ”

Chen Xinmin sighed, left a sentence and quickly followed Qiu Lin.

Li Shuanggui is his old comrade-in-arms who has been in a bunch since the boot camp, and he didn't take that kid's life at so many critical moments before, but I didn't expect this time...

Or maybe he, like Qiu Lin, still has a glimmer of hope.

In fact, the big guys may know in their hearts that it is almost impossible to find Li Shuanggui, but they just hope to find his body and bring it back, which is the honor he exchanged for his life.

……

The news of the destruction of the Japanese artillery soon reached the headquarters of the New Army, and the commanders of all divisions and regiments on the front line were excited, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It took more than half a month and so much effort to finally succeed in killing this headache devil artillery, which undoubtedly saved the lives of countless soldiers on the front line.

After learning of this news, Fang Jingyao immediately issued an order, the 201st Division changed its posture to gather troops and prepare to advance, and the 202nd and 203rd Divisions actively cooperated, changing from a flank feint to a frontal attack, and launched an attack on all the strongholds of the Japanese army on the whole line.

The smoke of the battle was ignited again, and the Japanese garrison, which had lost artillery support, soon fell to the upper hand, and the defensive line became precarious.

After this period of tempering and actual combat, the soldiers of the new army have gradually mastered some combat experience, which is not as clumsy and jerky as when they stepped into the battlefield, and the cooperation between the troops is getting better and better.

In the face of the tidal attack, the Japanese army was simply unable to resist, and suffered heavy losses under the coordinated blows of air support and ground troops, and several positions on the front line were lost one after another in two or three days.

Under the command and dispatch of Fang Jingyao, the 202nd Division and the 203rd Division successfully captured Waxi City and the lower reaches of the Irrawaddy River, taking the lead in achieving the strategic goal of completely isolating the Japanese army in Ganjidang from the southern cities and completely cutting off their logistical supplies.

Seeing that the encirclement was about to be formed, and no new supplies had been delivered for several days, the little devil who realized that he had fallen into a desperate situation couldn't sit still for an instant, and immediately began to prepare for a breakthrough operation.

Originally, it was intended to join the main force of the garrison on the Rangoon side, but the west side of the Irrawaddy River had already been occupied, and the road was blocked and it was impossible to move forward.

To the west is the endless sea of the Bay of Bengal, and there is no way out, so now we can only venture south to break through and return to the southern states of Ayeyarwady Province, known as the breadbasket of Myanmar, to find another fighter.

Now facing the risk of lack of water and food, several Japanese troops stationed in Ganjidang broke out with an astonishing desire to survive, and the breakthrough battle was fought with extreme ferocity regardless of the cost.

After all, the 202nd and 203rd divisions have not yet sealed the opening, and the encirclement has not yet been fully formed, and the 201st Division, which is blocking the way of the opponent's southward retreat, bears the brunt, but obviously they are the little devils who have made up their minds.

However, Fang Jingyao did not ask that the Japanese army must be left in Ganji to be annihilated, he knew that this was an impossible thing to achieve, rather than let them rush to fight the trapped beasts, it was better to let them escape.

On the surface, Fang Jingyao seemed to let the little devil live, but in fact, he dug a new pit for the Japanese army, and let them jump in obediently without knowing the truth.

On April 26, the Battle of Ayeyarwady Province, which lasted nearly two months, finally ended with a complete rout of the Japanese army.

After losing the defensive lines of the Gangidan and Pak Seng rivers, only a large area of alluvial plains remained in the southern part of Ayeyarwady Province, and the three main infantry divisions of the New Army occupied and controlled two-thirds of Ayeyarwady Province in a matter of days.

The remnants of the Japanese army could only retreat to Mimia, Labuda and other places further south, but all along the way were large plains, and bombers would rain down a round of steel baptism from time to time, which made the little devils worry all day long.

Knowing that Ayeyarwady Province was about to be overwhelmed, the Japanese army originally wanted to go to the port of Bo Phi Li in the southwest and transfer to Rangoon by sea and land transport ships, but it was clear that the opponent would not give them this opportunity.

In order to cut off the last retreat of the Japanese army, the 202nd and 203rd Divisions took the lead in advancing to Bo Jiaoli, using the Irrawaddy River to go downstream, and soon blocked the entire main river basin until the position of the mouth of the sea.

The 201st Division in front and the support reserves that had arrived from the Heihe base advanced unhurriedly towards the Japanese army, slowly driving them to the delta at the southwest end like ducks.

Because it was the best grave that Fang Jingyao had chosen for the Japanese, he had been planning for a long time to let the little devil feel what real despair was......
