"Yaga! Yaga! Seeing that a large number of imperial soldiers were retreating to the east bank on a raft, and the front was not far from the center of the river, but at this moment, the river side Zhengsan saw that dense black dots suddenly rose in the sky in the distance. Riverside Zhengsan couldn't help but constrict his pupils, and his heart sank straight down, needless to say, this was the second round of concentrated fire of the Huaxia artillery.

According to previous experience, it would take at most three minutes for the shells to reach the vicinity of the riverbank. And these two or three minutes are only a short moment for the retreating imperial soldiers, and it is impossible for them to return to the east coast, let alone find a safe enough hiding place.

The most critical of these thousands of heavy artillery shells, even if they are a few random bombs, as long as they are not ridiculously crooked, can inflict a devastating blow on the unconcealed Japanese infantry. "It's over! Finished! What kind of new artillery is this, which can shoot so many heavy guns at once! "Ichigawa Yongzhi kept breaking his thoughts, and he couldn't understand how the Huaxia army could suddenly emerge with such a desperately powerful heavy artillery force.

However, the truth is that it will not be transferred by personal will, no matter how frightened and desperate, confused, or resentful and cursed these devils are, what should come will always come! More than two minutes later, a burst of rocket artillery burst into bloom on the banks of the Hpa An River and on the surface of the Salween River. Clouds of black gunpowder rose on the ground, and stormy waves exploded on the river, and many devil soldiers and rafts were directly blown to pieces.

Since this time the rocket artillery salvo was no longer a concentrated fire attack on a certain place and a certain section, but a covering bombardment, whether it was the devil soldiers who were lying on the shore trembling or the devil soldiers who were frantically rowing and rushing to cross, they all suffered extremely serious casualties. After a series of earth-shattering explosions, a huge battlefield was once again obscured by thick smoke and dust, and countless pieces of wood and devil corpses floated on the surface of the Salween River, and the entire river surface was stained red with blood.

And the ghost soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were completely frightened, looking around in horror, watching the terrifying bloody scenes, listening to the screams that kept wailing, and there was only one thought left in their heads, that is, to leave this ghost place quickly! After a short silence, the devil soldiers, who were already on the raft in the river, paddled frantically with all their strength, and fled towards the east bank with all their strength.

And the devil soldiers on the shore, as long as they can move, all went crazy looking for all the tools that could escape, collecting scattered rafts from all over the river, and pulling out the wooden sticks that had been used to build the beachhead...... Driven by waves of rhythm, the ghost soldiers have been completely chaotic, where there is still organization and discipline, where there is still a fearless samurai spirit, all have become a group of outlaws who only know how to escape.

Many devils jumped into the Salween River in a panic, threw off their arms and swam to the other side of the river. Two rounds of rocket artillery fired 6,000 rounds of heavy artillery, but because the battlefield area scattered by the devils is really not small, the number of survivors of the devils is still several thousand. Thousands of devil soldiers frantically struggled to escape for their lives in the river, and the scene was extremely chaotic and joyful.

This scene is very similar to the desperate situation of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who were driven to the Xiaguan Wharf by devils during the defense of Nanjing in history, and faced with the desperate situation of having no way to enter the sky and no way to enter the ground when the Yangtze River was rolling. In that year, due to the incomplete deployment of the retreat plan, there was a large-scale chaos in the retreat operation. After Tang Shengzhi withdrew, the Nanjing army and civilians fell into an unprecedented state of disorganization. Thousands of refugees flocked to Shimonoseki Pier and found chaos everywhere, as soon as the ferry docked, countless people rushed up for their lives, ignoring the warning shots of the retreating soldiers.

For a moment, shouts, cries, scolding, and cries for help from those who fell into the water rang out. The officers and men of the Nationalist who were crossing the river were killed and wounded by the fire of the Japanese troops who were chasing after them, and many of them died under the guns of their own people. The rolling Yangtze River has become the burial place of countless soldiers and civilians in Nanjing.

The surging Yangtze River was littered with the corpses of soldiers, and blood stained the river red. According to insiders who later said that in the First Battle of Xiaguan, more than 30,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed by the Japanese army and more than 28,000 were drowned.

"It's so relieving! I can't imagine that the devil soldiers have today! "yes, I think Shimonoseki Pier was much worse than this back then!" "And the shells? Hurry, don't stop, come two or three more rounds, none of these devil soldiers want to go back alive! "Damn! It's so enjoyable, it's like slaughtering a chicken and a dog! "Alas, if it weren't for the surprise rescue of the general seat in times of crisis, where would we have seen today's victory?" "That's right, we're really gods!" “……”

At this moment, facing the scene in front of them, many officers and soldiers who participated in and survived the defense of Guangdong could not help but think of the tragic experience of that year. The Chinese officers and soldiers who had never experienced it were very addicted, hoping that they could come back to a few more fierce artillery bombardments to bombard all these devil soldiers who were fleeing for their lives. "Haha, well done brothers!" "The devil soldiers were scared by us, and they are desperately running away!" "Quick, quick, reload the ammunition, and after the loading, the landing point will extend more than 200 meters forward!"

"After the last round of concentrated fire, all self-propelled guns immediately retreat!" After listening to the report of the front-line observers, Sun Anshan, commander of the rocket artillery regiment, smiled from ear to ear, never dreaming that the rocket artillery unit would make its debut for the first time and make such an amazing record. More than 10,000 devil troops were defeated and collapsed by several rounds of shelling, and they fled all over the ground looking for teeth, and the current shelling effect has killed four or five thousand devil soldiers!

This has to be said to be an unprecedented victory and a shocking miracle of war! "Howler!" "Brothers, work hard!" Hearing this, all the officers and men of the rocket artillery were full of enthusiasm and loaded their ammunition as quickly as possible. "The rocket artillery is so shocking and enjoyable, it's just that the ammunition consumption is unbearable! Otherwise,......"

Li Zongren took a deep breath and fired 9,000 rounds of heavy artillery in less than one hour, which is simply a lot of money burned at such a consumption rate. Jiang Qiang said with a smile: "This time I was caught off guard by the devil, and it is really not easy to find such a good opportunity in the future!"

The rocket artillery unit also needs to be further vigorously developed, and when the time comes, not only the Tiger Army, but also the 31st Army and the 22nd Group Army will also be equipped with rocket artillery units in an appropriate amount! Although the rocket artillery unit is not omnipotent, Jiang Qiang knows that in the future large-scale group battle, having a powerful rocket artillery unit will definitely be an extremely sharp killing trump card.

However, as far as Jiang Qiang is concerned, what is urgently needed to vigorously develop the arms and technical equipment, not to mention rocket artillery? Airplanes, tanks, and warships are actually more fragrant!

"Yaga! The shells are here again! "Run!" "Help! I don't want to die! "Amaterasu Okami, help!" The river that the devils chose to attack is relatively narrow in the middle and lower reaches of the river, but the average width is also four or five hundred meters wide.

From the beginning of the retreat to the arrival of the third round of fire, the first wave of devil soldiers who fled to the east bank took more than 20 minutes, so the fast ghost soldiers had already landed on the east bank one after another at this time. However, just when they all felt that they were about to escape from the sky, the third rocket artillery fire finally fell from the sky, and it continued to explode wildly one after another.

This time, the rocket artillery coverage was mainly concentrated on the surface of the Salween River and the devil's position on the east bank of the river, which happened to hit the area where the devils were most concentrated. As the rocket launchers exploded one after another, which was a few points stronger than the explosion power of the 155mm howitzer, an absolute death radius was formed.

Countless metal fragments and overpressure shockwaves that flew in all directions were like death harvesters, and the undisguised ghost soldiers fell one by one, some were directly blown to pieces, some were blown up to the point that they were missing arms and legs, some were blown into the air, and some were lying on the ground and were shocked to death. The earth-shattering explosion only lasted for more than ten or twenty seconds, but it brought a catastrophe to the fleeing devil infantry.

After the shelling ended, the whole world suddenly fell silent, the beach on the Salween River and on the east bank of the bank was deadly silent, both the enemy and us were dumbfounded, and the entire Salween River defense line became surprisingly quiet! Only the billowing smoke that obscured the sky and the suffocating smell of blood reminded both sides that they had just experienced a terrible slaughter feast.

"It's over! It's all over! Hebian Zhengsan's eyes were distracted, staring blankly at the gray world in front of him, his eyes completely lost focus, and the whole person seemed to suddenly be petrified into a clay sculpture and wood sculpture. I have to say that the last wave of fire bombardment is really terrible, and the devils such as the third class by the river are seeing that thousands of imperial soldiers are about to escape and ascend to heaven, thinking about how to get some blood back. But just at the moment when the old devils were full of hope by the river, a round of fierce and accurate artillery fire directly shattered their illusions and luck, and this time it was like a few stabs in the heart.

"Baga Ya Road! Damn the Chinese, you can't die well! The Great Japanese Empire will not let you go! Burst! ......" once again planted a big heel in Jiang Qiang's hands, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, the more angry he became, and he was in a hurry for a while, and suddenly he only felt that the sky was spinning, and then a mouthful of old blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth.

"Ah, Your Excellency, Commander!" "Medic! Military! Come on! "Your Excellency, Commander, please wake up!" The river was so angry that he vomited blood, and then his body became weak, and the person collapsed crookedly.

"Baga Ya Road! How so! Lieutenant General Sekikameji, commander of the Japanese 20th Army, was also dumbfounded at this time, just half an hour ago, he also saw that the 19th Army had broken through the defense line of the 22nd Army, and more than 10,000 imperial soldiers had stood firmly on the west bank.

It seems that the next step is only to further fight steadily, and it is completely possible to completely tear through the defense line of the Salween River and further open the mouth of the Salween River, so that the Burmese army can capture Rangoon all the way to the sea, so as to further attack the 18th Army from the north and south to conquer the whole of Burma. But the ideal is full of reality, everything in front of him has completely changed in just over half an hour, and more than 10,000 imperial soldiers have been completely lost under the cover of sudden and terrifying artillery fire, and there is no piece of armor left at once!

Such a terrifying and powerful artillery cluster was beyond Guan Guizhi's imagination, and the whole person was shocked and frightened, and his mind was blank, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts at all, couldn't calm down, and looked stupidly at the battlefield filled with gunpowder in the distance. "Yaga! How could the Chinese army have such a powerful cluster of heavy artillery? What are our intelligence departments doing! ”

Major General Akira Akira, chief of staff of the 20th Army, trembled all over, and in addition to shock and fear, there was also a deep sense of happiness in his heart. That's right, seeing that the 19th Army was bombed so badly that there was no room for resistance, the frightened Yu Cangkan was actually sick in his heart: Ya, fortunately, today's main attacking force is the 19th Army, not their 20th Army.

Otherwise, the 20th Army would have ended up in the same fate and died an extremely ugly death. General Headquarters of the Japanese Burma Dispatch Army in Tak Province, Thailand. Kimura Hyotaro pointed to the military map and said: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, at present, the Northern Route Army is attacking very smoothly with the cooperation of the Imperial Air Force, and has successively conquered several peripheral defense lines of the Kuomintang 6th Army and 66th Army. The Imperial warriors of the 18th Army were advancing further towards the four towns of Taunggyi, Nam Sang, Gunsin, and Jingdong. If nothing else, it won't be long before another breakthrough is made. ”

"Yo Xi!" Umezu Mijiro said again: "Kimura-kun, please explain to me in detail the comparison of the number of troops and technical equipment in the two battlefields of the north and south. "Hello." Kimura Hyotaro hurriedly paused, picked up the wooden pole and pointed to the sand table and began to explain: ? Kimura Hyotaro said: "In the northern battlefield, that is, in the direction of Shan State, the strength of the imperial army is 1 army, 3 A divisions, and 1 B division, with a total strength of about 120,000 people.

In the northern battlefield, there were mainly the 6th Army, the 66th Army, and the 71st Army of the National Army, as well as the two newly formed Tiger Ben Army on the second line of defense, and the total strength of the Chinese Army holding the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the industrial area of northern Burma was about 250,000 people. Although the technical equipment of the 6th Army and the 66th Army of the National Army, which stood in front of the 18th Army, surpassed the Imperial Army, the combat effectiveness of these two national army units was far inferior to that of the Imperial Army!

The 18th Army was completely able to break through and defeat the 6th Army and the 66th Army in a short period of time, and firmly gain a foothold on the front line of Dongggyi Jingdong. "In the southern battlefield, the empire currently has 3 armies and 12 divisions with a total strength of more than 350,000 people, and the total strength of the Chinese army against it has more than 260,000 people. In terms of troops, the Imperial Army of the Southern Battlefield had an absolute advantage in strength.

In terms of technical equipment, the Imperial Army includes 12 75mm field artillery regiments, plus two 150mm independent field heavy artillery wings, and two independent combat vehicle wings, one of which is the Type 97 medium tank wing. The technical equipment of the Chinese troops in the entire southern battlefield was not significantly weaker than that of the imperial army, and because of its defensive advantage, it was indeed a little tricky.

However, with the help of the powerful Imperial Japanese Navy task force and the Imperial Air Force in the southern theater, it was not difficult to break through the mouth of the Salween River. According to current intelligence, with the coordinated operations of the Imperial Navy, the 15th Army has already broken through Bilu Island and is consolidating its position on Bilu Island, and will soon be able to further flank Mawlamyine City and Mawlamyine Fortress in the north and south. ”

"Yo Si." Umezu Mijiro shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Kimura-kun, please continue." "Hello!" Seeing Umezu Mijiro smiling sweetly, Kimura Hyotaro could naturally understand Umezu Mijiro's current mood, and said with a smile: "The Northern Route Army and the Southern Army have absolute crushing strength, and although the Chinese Expeditionary Force has relatively deep technical equipment, the industrial base in northern Myanmar is almost completed."

However, as soon as the war began, the technical equipment of the Imperial Army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force would be drastically consumed, and the Imperial Army could be replenished to the greatest extent by relying on the huge industrial system of the empire. However, the Chinese Expeditionary Force could only rely on the US government's efforts to supply across the ocean and the negligible production capacity of the industrial base in northern Burma, and it certainly could not compete with the Imperial Japanese Army for a long time. ”

After a pause, Kimura Hyotaro said in conclusion: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, Yang Fan and the Huaxia Tiger Army led by him are indeed an extremely difficult opponent. But this Chinese commander, who was crowned by His Majesty the Emperor as the sworn enemy of the empire, is only a mortal after all, and he does not have the ability to scatter beans into soldiers, and he will eventually be defeated by your men in this battle of Burma.

And after defeating the Chinese Expeditionary Force and occupying Burma, your personal reputation will inevitably rise to a level never seen before, whether it is Terauchi Shouichi, Nishio Shouzo, Okamura Ninji, or Ishihara Waner, they are no longer comparable to you. At that point, you should be able to be promoted to Imperial Field Marshal. "Take Taobao to resist Japan from my love of reading books, please visit, mobile phone please visit

"Yo Si! Kimura-kun, you're serious. Hearing this, Umezu Mijiro's heart was as cold and silky as eating a popsicle on a June day, and so many high-ranking generals of the empire were defeated by Jiang Qiang. And he, Umezu Mijiro, can defeat this hateful Huaxia commander and lie down, and he is the best in the world! "This time I was able to win the war in Burma, all thanks to the concerted efforts of the officers and men of the three armies, where do I have any credit?"

Although the face of the imperial marshal has been hanging for a long time in his heart, but this should still be pretended to be forced by the Han Angbi, Umezu Mijiro said insincerely: "There is no way to compare with Terauchi-kun, Okamura-kun, and Nishio-kun?" As for such a thing as being promoted to marshal, it is even more needless to mention, I am not qualified at all, it is impossible. ”

For the prestige of the Kwantung Army commander Ishihara Waner, Umezu Mijiro deliberately did not mention it, because not only Ishihara Waner's low emotional intelligence is easy to offend people, but also because Umezu Mijiro was ousted from the throne of the commander of the Kwantung Army by Ishihara Waner, Umezu Mijiro has always been angry about this. Thanks to the fact that the 15th Army's attack on Burma did not go well this time, the Japanese base camp made up its mind to form a Burma dispatch army, otherwise Umezu Mijiro would still be sulking in a certain place!

However, just as Umezu Mijiro and Kimura Hyotaro were touting each other in the war room, waiting for news of further victories, there was a panicked footsteps in the corridor outside the war room. With a creak, the wooden door of the war room was suddenly pushed open, and then the devil's communications staff officer Nishikawa Takezo rushed in in a lost soul, and said urgently: "Your Excellency the commander-in-chief, the 19th Army is in an emergency!" ”

"Yaga! As a high-ranking officer of the Empire, what kind of system is it to be so flustered? Umezu Mijiro, who was on the rise, suddenly collapsed, staring at Nishikawa Takezo with great displeasure, but did not reach out to receive the message.

"Hello! His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has taught you a lesson of humiliation! Nishikawa Takezo shuddered suddenly, and then remembered that his top boss was a ruthless character who was decisive and decisive, so he hurriedly bowed slightly to Umezu Mijiro, and nodded sincerely to admit his mistake.

"Nishikawa-kun will pay more attention in the future!" Hyotaro Kimura became a peacemaker, took the telegram with a smile and read it. "Nani? How so? Just after a few glances, the smile on Kimura Hyotaro's face instantly froze, revealing a look of a ghost, glaring at Nishikawa Takezo and saying, "Isn't there anything wrong with this information?" ”

Nishikawa Takezo hurriedly said in an affirmative tone: "Report to Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff, we have verified it many times, and this information is definitely not wrong!" "Yaga! Could this hateful Chinese man really know magic? Great Amaterasu, what the hell is going on! Hearing this, the only remaining trace of luck of Kimura Hyotaro was shattered in an instant, and he only felt as if there was a basin of cold snow water dripping from head to toe, and the whole person became cool from the inside out.

"Kimura-kun, what's wrong?" Umezu Mijiro also saw that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly grabbed the telegram and looked at it at a glance. "Nani? The 19th Army's river-crossing troops were covered by new artillery, and more than 10,000 imperial soldiers were completely damaged in just over half an hour? ”

"How is this possible, how can the Huaxia army have such a powerful heavy artillery cluster?" "Hasn't the Imperial Air Force wiped out the heavy artillery units in Huaxia?" "There must be something wrong with this!" Umezu Mijiro only felt that the world was spinning, and the victory and great victory that he had said did not wait, but waited for the shocking news that the ten thousand emperors' soldiers were shattered, which was a few points worse than the previous defeat of the 15th Army's riverside melee.

More than 10,000 imperial soldiers were nothing to the entire Burmese Dispatch Army and the Burma Battle, but the key point was that the desperately powerful new artillery cluster mentioned in this telegram made Umezu Mijiro feel deeply shocked and frightened.

Nishikawa Takezo said very facelessly: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, there will be no mistake in this telegram. The battlefield reporters also took a large number of photos and videos of the scene, which will soon be sent to the general headquarters. In addition, the Imperial Air Force later arrived on the battlefield but failed to find the Huaxia artillery cluster, which is obviously a new self-propelled artillery with very strong mobility. ……”

"Baga Ya Road! The Chinese army actually has such a new type of artillery? With such important information, why didn't the special high class get any news at all? Someone is coming, call Taro Hanaya immediately! After listening to Nishikawa Takesashi's analysis, Umezu Mijiro threw the pot out in a huff. Hello! A ghost guard standing at the door immediately took the order. Nishikawa Takezo then kindly reminded: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the 19th Army is still waiting for your tactical guidance!" ”

Umezu Mijiro frowned and pondered for a moment, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he turned his head to look at Kimura Hyotaro and said, "Kimura-kun, what do you think?" Kimura Hyotaro muttered, "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, this is too sudden! The morale of our army has been dealt a great blow, and I believe that it is not appropriate to launch a large-scale river-crossing operation until we find out what new artillery the enemy is using. ”

"Well, that's exactly what I thought! Nishikawa-kun, immediately send a telegram to the 19th Army and the 20th Army, asking them to suspend the offensive and stabilize their positions! Umezu Mijiro nodded and hurriedly got off the donkey. After Nishikawa Musashi walked away, Umezu Mijiro suddenly remembered a very serious problem, and asked Kimura Hyotaro in a hurry: "Kimura-kun, will this happen to the North Route Army?" ”
