Chapter 608
The first team to storm into Rangoon was the mechanized chariot regiment belonging to the armored brigade, and in terms of speed alone, the brisk infantry was much faster than the 30-ton Sherman, not to mention the infantry running on their legs.
Less than half an hour after the order to attack was given, the vanguard of the chariot regiment appeared at the foot of many civilian houses.
"Get out of the car! Get out of the car!"
The driver rattled the partition, and the co-pilot climbed onto the roof of the car, holding an M2 heavy machine gun and staring ahead.
"Hurry, hurry! Move fast!"
As the rear hatch opened, the soldiers rushed out.
Nine warriors could be seated behind each infantry chariot, and under the command of their respective commanders, they quickly lined up and dispersed to establish a defensive line.
"The first and second rows should pay attention to the left and right wings, and the third row will unload equipment, and everyone will be on alert!"
"Don't get together, don't get together! The machine gunner is upstairs, and whoever is that, send them the bullets!"
The commander of the infantry company who got off the car was commanding the team in a hurry, and the devils had not come out to attack for the time being, and they had to make arrangements before the opponent counterattacked.
Next, even more brutal street fighting may have just begun...
The lack of indigenous food and water also gave the Japanese army a little respite, but we knew that it was actually a tomb built for the expeditionary force, and the real abyss was before stepping into this place......
The navy deliberately concealed the news in order to make a foreign appearance behind the army, and as a result, a few days ago, the first batch of Japanese troops who rushed to the sea to prepare for evacuation were dumbfounded.
The approach was cut off, and it was possible to go back north, so the big devil who was forced to have a way could only continue to flee westward. Because in the southwest, it is the estuary of the two small rivers of the Bosheng River and the Yuhao Pengdi River.
So we took all the indigenous men and old friends into the camp and tortured them severely, and before the event, they still left them alive and buried them alive.
Originally, there were not some Japanese devil officers who tried to organize troops to set up an ambush under the main road, and then find an opportunity to break through inside, but the opponent gave us the opportunity to engage head-on.
It is also thanks to the fact that the submarine is slow on the water, otherwise one of those civilian ships converted into troop carriers can run away.
The worst thing is these men, the escape for days has kept the big devil in a frightened mood, and it seems that he needs to vent his heart very much in that desperate situation.
In the end, with less thought, the British army's pocket-class submarines dare to say that it is really a big friend to fight that kind of undefended transport ship.
After one night's hard work, one of the seventeen Japanese transport ships far away from the sea was sunk by us, and the rest ran away with their tails between their wisps.
The original plan of the Japanese army was to end the evacuation of Yu Hao Pengdi Province at the end of July and to bring the remaining troops to Rangoon to strengthen the defenses on this side.
The British were idle, and immediately reported the news to the Mandalay Air Force Command before seeing the traces of the Japanese troops, and a small number of fighters appeared in the sky under the beachhead, and they were not bombarded indiscriminately against these big devils above.
Since we broke through the encirclement of Gankidang and retreated all the way south, the baggage and equipment that should have been lost have basically been lost, the weapons and ammunition are slight, and very few people are hungry and go backwards, thinking that they can't escape from this place by boat, but who would have thought that it is a dead end.
The big devil is so angry, I hate to pull down the horse and bring small cannons to send these British old men to the sky, but we fled in the wilderness and there were no heavy weapons around us, so we could only stand on the shore and look at the ocean and sigh.
As the saying goes, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the Japanese army was facing only the enemy's encirclement and interception, but also the increasingly serious supply problem.
After a series of encounters in those days, the demoralized Japanese were no longer willing to meet the enemy, and slowly there was a tendency for a smaller rout.
After a short time, the vanguard units of the 201st and 202nd divisions of the New Army, which were chasing, took over the fire again with the Japanese army.
Before going down to the island, there was a wave of burning, killing and looting, all the houses and food of the natives were looted, and the women and children were even more affectionate
Kill.
When the armored convoys arrived at their combat positions, they did not immediately attack inward, but unloaded their infantry and defended on the spot, responding to the enemy's sudden attack at any time, waiting for friendly troops who were still on the road in the rear.
Unlike the life-and-death battles on the battlefield of Yangon, Yonrawaddy province has seen almost no frontal resistance of Japanese troops.
At the moment, we just want to escape from the enemy blockade as slowly as possible, and we have a desire to continue fighting.
The southern part of Yinrawaddy Province is basically a small plain and a river crisscrossing the city, and there are no mountains and dense forests, and the Japanese army can only establish any ineffective defense line in that kind of place, so they can only advance south vigorously, wanting to enter the river and the sea and leave it by transport ship.
The troops quickly lost contact with each other, and they all ran their own ways, and the commander found the soldier, and the soldier also found the commander.
At that point, a small number of Japanese soldiers did not have any fighting spirit in their hearts, and very few of us were recruits who had only gone to the battlefield and had fought a few battles.
The soldiers of the new army used white phosphorus bombs, and the dense forest was filled with the wails and screams of the devils, and their bodies were burned to the point that they were embarrassed, and Chong Yi smashed the team that the other party had gathered with great difficulty.
The Forces nouvelles will launch a new offensive before this general offensive next month, and they will be on a mission to drive them away. Just like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, driving these 10,000 young devils to rout all the way to the south.
Due to the rapid rush of the southern plains, the river forms a very small octagonal basin outside it, and there are hundreds of small and large alluvial islands, among which the trees can also play a certain hidden role.
"Put the mortar in the yard and don't fire without my orders!"
While the Japanese were observing with binoculars, a few British sailors stood under the submarine suspended above the sea and stared at us, as if mocking our ability and strength.
There are not many local aborigines under those big islands, we have lived here for generations, and we have survived fishing in the Octagonal Continent Valley, and now we can be regarded as four lifetimes of mold.
Fewer and fewer Japanese troops were driven to the octagonal island at the mouth of the Yuhao Pengdi River, and before learning the news that the transport fleet had been attacked, no one's hearts fell to the bottom, and despair arose.
As a result, the naval fleet had not yet finished its operation, and the small battle of Rangoon had not yet begun, and the fleet sent by the weak line to the octagonal island of the Yinrawaddy River waited for several days at the mouth of the sea, and when the advancing team arrived, they waited for the attack of the British submarines.
For a time, an extremely cruel killing was staged under the entire Octagonal Island and reef of the Yinrawaddy River.
The ships that were originally waiting here were watching, but there were a few fewer British submarines docked under the surface of the sea at the mouth of the sea.
Faced with the situation that there was no chasing soldiers before there was a way out, the desperate big devil could only build a big raft and run to hide under the big islands of these Octagonal Continents.
