The army advanced, and after a long journey of more than 300 kilometers of difficult mountain trails, they finally came to Monywa, where the little devils were heavily armed.

The enemy in front of the face is the 15th Division, and the current division commander is Lieutenant General Yamauchi Masafumi, which is not the main division of the little devils, but a typical three-unit garrison division, under the command of the 51st Wing, the 60th Wing, the 67th Wing, the 15th Search Team, the 21st Field Artillery Wing, the 15th Engineer Wing, and the 15th Heavy Infantry Wing.

Cluster Command of the Second Theater Expeditionary Force.

Colonel Smith took on the role of adjutant Gao Jianwu very well, and placed a large stack of aerial reconnaissance photos and a map of the 15th Division's defense in front of everyone.

With the help of the power of the allies, the little devil's defense information is all figured out.

And Gao Jianwu knew about Monywa because there was a huge copper mine here, after all, it was a strategic mine that I invested and developed back then. So this is basically a must-take place for Gao Jianwu.

He looked at the map provided by Colonel Smith, and as soon as it was reflected with the high-definition map in his mind, he quickly corresponded to it, and began to form a 10 km x 10 km grid map with precise coordinates.

The location of the artillery positions of the cluster was quickly determined, and a brief cheat sheet of the artillery shelling targets was quickly put out in mind.

While Chu Yunfei and the others were still discussing how to attack based on the map intelligence, Gao Jianwu had already completed the general plan of the entire operation.

In front of everyone, Gao Jianwu took a ruler and pencil, and on a 2-meter-long piece of white paper, he began to draw a grid with an accuracy of 50 meters, confirming that the main position of the little devils in Monywa was the coordinates of position 0 (0,0), and began to mark the positions that appeared on the reconnaissance photo information, and named and marked the positions relative to the position of position 0 one by one!

Soon Chu Yunfei and Colonel Smith discovered how terrible Gao Jianwu was!

Because he almost didn't hesitate to draw map targets everywhere as if he had a belly in his head.

This amazing map orientation insight is simply appalling.

"Alright guys, I've mapped the location of the little devils and the places where we're going to attack. Here and here are our artillery positions No. 1 and No. 2, where the main artillery of our cluster will be arrayed.

According to the position of the artillery positions of the little devils, it is estimated that the extension of their main artillery fire will not be able to cover our artillery position.

And our artillery completely covered the main positions of all the little devils.

So after the start of this general offensive, the artillery took the lead in launching a covering artillery bombardment on the artillery positions of the little devils, destroying their artillery forces.

Next, the artillery of each attack group opened fire together, destroying the fixed bunkers and other fire targets set up by the little devils on the opposite bank of the river.

Create conditions for the construction of pontoon bridges for engineering units.

After the artillery progressed, the main attacking force crossed the river to attack.

Before that, Lao Ding's first attack group took the lead in crossing the Chinton River about 10 kilometers upstream, bypassing the little devils' defensive positions on the opposite bank, outflanking and blocking their rear roads, and attacking from the flanks when the main attack did not go well.

The second attack group in Yunfei will take on the main frontal attack mission this time.

This time, because of the wide Chinton River, our ability to cross the river was seriously limited, and the limited engineering and bridge troops were limited, and it was impossible to attack at the same time, and the third and fourth attack groups assumed reserves. ”

Gao Jianwu said as he marked the location of each attack group on the map, so that everyone could see at a glance where their attack group should go.

"This operation departed at zero o'clock, and the units took advantage of the night to enter the designated positions. Then we attacked at dawn.

Considering the time required for Lao Ding's detour, it is expected that Lao Ding will launch an attack five hours after his departure, and the specific general attack time will be subject to the radio code of Lao Ding's arrival at the predetermined location. ”

"Considering the little devil's strict defense of this area, Lao Ding's smuggling may be discovered. If so, we will shell the artillery positions of the little devil in advance, destroying his artillery.

Then the artillery fire was used to prevent the enemy on the opposite bank from reinforcing and blocking, and the first attack group directly forced the Chinton River. ”

Although Gao Jianwu's plan is a little rough, it is not impossible to realize it in the current situation of strength.

So after listening to it, everyone didn't have any opinions, and went down to prepare.

Although there are still some details that have not been developed, these should be the problems of each attack group operating at the bottom.

Gao Jianwu only needs to put forward his own big combat goals.

The rest is left to the individual attack groups to refine.

......

Headquarters of the 15th Division.

Yamauchi's brows are almost furrowed in the text.

The Second Theater Expeditionary Aircraft Attack Group was mighty and tens of thousands of people. Naturally, the little devil will not turn a blind eye.

Taking into account the weak artillery capabilities of the 15th Division, the 22nd Division sent a new artillery wing, which greatly improved the artillery strength of Yamauchi Masafumi.

But this is still not enough, according to intelligence, Yamauchi Masafumi knows that the opponent's artillery is ridiculously strong.

To this end, he asked the commander of the 15 Army for tactical guidance. Reinforcements were requested from the Air Force. It's just that the Allied air force here far outnumbered them, and the commander of the 15th Army called back and did his best.

In fact, it was a tactful refusal of his request.

"Gao Pinjun, how do you think the enemy will attack?" Masafumi Yamauchi turned to his chief of staff, Major General Gao Pinbiao, and asked.

"Yamauchi-kun, if I were an enemy, it would be obvious that if I had an advantage in strength, I would send two teams of men and horses to cross the river to fight." Major General Gao Pinbiao replied without hesitation.

"This is where they are most likely to be smuggled. It is proposed to send at least one brigade here for defense. "The location pointed out by Major General Gao Pinbiao is the location where Gao Jianwu suggested smuggling!

Because that's the narrowest part of the river. As long as you are familiar with the terrain here, everyone knows that it is a good place to cross the river.

"Roar, according to your wishes, immediately send a brigade to defend there!" Yamauchi Masafumi said without hesitation.

......

On the other hand, in fact, Gao Jianwu also knew this, so before Ding Wei set off, he said to him: If the smuggling fails, then it will directly become a strong attack.

Because Gao Jianwu set up the position of the main artillery battalion in a place that could just reach these two battlefields.

So even if the little devil was defending there, Gao Jianwu said that it didn't matter, and he directly crushed it with his strength.

24 155-mm howitzers and 48 105-mm howitzers, not vegetarian. Even if the little devil puts a brigade there, it is useless, because Ding Wei still has an artillery battalion in his hand!

This is the king of firepower, pure bullying. Even if the little devil sees the opportunity, he will still be bombarded by artillery.

As soon as 0:00 arrived, the assault company sent by Ding Wei began to swim further upstream.

The operation of the assault company was very successful, and they managed to reach the opposite bank without alarming the little devils......

The members of the assault company, who were the first to swim across the river, then dragged the rubber boat with the long rope that had been put over to transport all the weapons and ammunition of their subordinates.

After they reached their target location downstream along the riverbank, they suddenly encountered the secret sentry of the little devil. Caught off guard, both sides opened fire almost at the same time, waking up the 3rd Brigade of the 51st Wing, which had just arrived in an instant.

This group of little devils who were waiting for the battle immediately took action and closed around the place where the gun was fired.

The commander of the assault company did not panic when he looked at the group of little devils, but carefully observed the movements of the little devils with a telescope while ordering the deployment of positions.

Although the target was exposed, it was not clear how many of them there were.

Soon after determining the opponent's position. The commander of the assault company began to call for artillery fire.

Seeing that the sneak attack could not succeed, Gao Jianwu also gave up his illusions and ordered the main artillery to directly bombard the artillery position of the little devil.

The little devil did not expect that the opponent's artillery was so sharp, launched a direct artillery attack at night, and very accurately sent large-caliber shells to his own artillery positions!

Although they made fortifications against artillery shelling, they were basically made against 75mm howitzers, and this time they encountered 155mm and 105mm howitzer heavy guns, as long as they smashed on the top of their heads, almost the entire fortification was wiped out!

After several rounds of heavy artillery scrubbing, the artillery position that the little devils had built with great difficulty almost became a piece of scrap copper and rotten iron.

At the same time, the artillery battalion of Ding Wei's 1st Assault Group also began to be angry, and directly tilted the shells on the head of the little devil who was trying to surround the assault company!

In addition to the river dividing the two lands, after blowing up the bridge, the Chindun River formed a natural defense line, but the flat terrain of Monywa, in addition to this, there is no danger to defend, in the face of artillery fire, straight up and up into a group of charging little devils, almost a dozen with a shot!

Immediately after that, the little devil also heard the sound of mortars flying in the sky, and it was the assault company itself that began to attack.

After rushing 500 meters, almost half of the little devils who charged under artillery fire had already suffered more than half of the casualties.

The most terrible thing is that the enemy's artillery still continues to fire, as if not at all worried about shells falling on their own heads.

The number of stormtroopers visibly disappeared under the shell bombardment, and then they were greeted by the intertwined fire of twelve Browning M1917 machine guns!

And the little devil who had just set up the 92 heavy machine gun to fight back quickly found out in despair that the other party used the rockets fired by Bazooka, and easily destroyed the 92 heavy machine gun fire point!

And the grenadiers on their own side now have very little chance to even touch 500 meters, and are often killed by enemy howitzers or mortar shells on the way, let alone destroy the enemy's machine gun fire points.

In this way, an assault company withstood a brigade of little devils, and stubbornly used artillery support and its own firepower superiority to grind to death!
