Chapter 570, The Battle of Burma 20

"Captain! Don't do anything stupid! Seeing that Zhao Bin was about to commit suicide with a gun, Su Fei, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Bin's wrist with his hand and dragged it hard. Bang! Zhao Bin, who was already determined to die, pulled the trigger under the action of inertial thinking at this time, and a bullet sprayed out. Click! Thanks to Su Fei's timely rescue, the bullet that flew out of the chamber pierced not Zhao Bin's head, but a windshield in the cab.

"Let me die, what are you stopping me for?" "Today I was too careless and paralyzed, and I failed to direct everyone to avoid danger in advance! I'm the one who hurt everyone! I am ashamed of my dead brothers, of the country and the nation, and of my hometown! Suicide failed, Zhao Bin burst into tears, crying profusely, tears flowed uncontrollably, his body kept twitching, and deep in his heart it seemed that there were 100,000 needles piercing and stabbing violently, making him feel painful!

Su Fei grabbed Zhao Bin's wrist to prevent him from doing anything stupid again, and said anxiously and urgently: "Captain, how can I blame you for this matter?" If you want to blame, you can only blame these Japanese devils! "Yes! This brother, sooner or later we will get this blood debt back from the Japanese devils! ”

"That's right, these dog scraps will die at our hands sooner or later!" "If I don't kill, they will kill me!" There is no reason to talk to these beasts, only to kill them all! At this time, He Jianhan and others, who were hiding in the woods, surrounded one after another, comforting the surviving members of the transport team, and secretly vowed in their hearts to make the Japanese devils pay for their blood debts in the future.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" "Shw! Damn the Huaxia Transport Team, you have also tasted the power of the Imperial Air Force now, right? The two devil pilots swooped back and forth several times until they had exhausted all their ammunition.

Looking at the roaring transport truck, looking at the smoke of gunpowder, and the scene of the attack in a mess, Kitano Lian's face showed an extremely abnormal flush, and his whole body trembled with excitement, and he couldn't return to normal for a long time. After circling twice in the sky and admiring his "masterpiece", Kitano Liancai shouted into the communicator with unfinished thoughts: "Kawahara-kun, this place is not suitable for a long time, return immediately and retreat at full speed!" ”

"Hello! Today's battle is so exciting, the Japanese Empire will win! The devil pilot Kawahara Muyong was also so excited that he screamed, and after enjoying the results of the scene, he followed Kitano Lianyang. Buzzing, at this moment, several Flying Tiger fighters finally arrived at the scene, but they were still a step too late, looking at the tragic scene on the road below, all the Flying Tigers completely broke out.

"Eighteen generations of grass ancestors, brothers rush with me, today no matter what, these two devil planes will be beaten down for me!" "These dogs dare to spread wild in our territory!" "Brothers, you must break the little devil into pieces today!" "Kill!"

Everyone roared with red eyes and pushed the throttle to the end, killing the Japanese fighter who was quickly escaping in the distance as fast as possible. "Look, our fighter jets are coming!" "Air Force brothers, you must kill these two devil planes, don't let them run away!" "We must kill these brutes, the blood of the brothers cannot be shed in vain!" Zhao Bin, Su Fei and other surviving transport team members jumped out of the carriage one after another, and watched the Flying Tigers fighters who were pursuing the Japanese planes at full speed disappear into the distance.

"Brothers, rest assured! The little devil fighters will not be able to escape, they are dead! It's important for students to save people, come with me! He Jianhan comforted Zhao Bin and the others, and then yelled and led the students out of the woods and ran to the transport convoy in front.

Su Fei looked at Zhao Bin, who was still extremely uncomfortable, and tried to ask: "Captain, let's go and save people too, and look at the brothers who haven't survived yet!" "Good!" Zhao Bin gritted his teeth, although he was extremely reluctant to face the remains of his dead brother and the tragic scene of fragmentation, but as a man, no matter how cold and ruthless the reality is, he still has to face it.

After a pause, looking at Su Fei, who was still not at ease, Zhao Bin reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "The brothers are all right, this is the hatred of the country and the family, not the hatred of any one person." Don't worry, I won't kill myself again, I must save my life to avenge my brothers! When I go back to the business, I will join the front-line combat troops! ”

Su Fei immediately said: "Captain, then take me with you then, I will also go to the front line to fight devils and avenge my brothers!" "Good! Let's go and save people first, our brother is still waiting for us! Zhao Bin nodded heavily, immediately wiped a handful of tears, and ran with the team with red eyes. However, the ideal is full of reality, and they are quickly defeated by everything in front of them, and everyone's tears can't stop flowing:

The whole scene was blazing with fire and smoke, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, choking gunsmoke and scorching heat that people could not approach, as if this was a hideous and terrifying hell on earth. Under the frantic back and forth strafing of the devil fighters, nearly ten transport trucks were completely blown up, turning into a pile of scattered parts and raging flames.

The remaining vehicles appeared to be intact on the surface, but in fact they were sieveed by the heavy machine guns and cannons of the Devil's fighters. Not to mention that the drivers are all dead and can no longer die, even the weapons and equipment on the car are seriously damaged, and few of them are still intact!

The scene of the attack was tragic and tragic, except for the crackling sound of burning and crackling, the silence was terrifying, and there was no breath of life at all. These dog-day little devil pilots killed the killers, leaving no chance for the transport team to survive at all, and not a single person survived the entire attack scene. "These brutes! Lao Tzu will not take revenge in this life, and swear not to be a man! Zhao Bin originally thought that he could face everything calmly after he almost died, but after arriving at the scene, he found that he still overestimated himself, and the whole person fell into a state of near collapse again!

"Yaga! Damn the Huaxia Air Force is coming so fast, Heyuan-kun, we're in big trouble! Looking at the group of Huaxia fighters that were getting closer and closer, Kitano Lian's face became extremely ugly, knowing that he must be dead today. Although he had expected this situation, in the end, when it came to death, there were a few people who could truly see death as home, even if it was an old devil who had been poisoned by bushido.

"Kitano-kun, we can only act separately! I'll go and get them away in a moment, and I hope you can return safely! You are the best pilot in the Great Japanese Empire, just kill a few more Chinese soldiers for me in the future! "Kawahara Muyong is very upright, and when he saw that he couldn't get rid of the pursuit, he took the initiative to take on the suicide mode of sending people's heads." Dog's day little devils, you want to run away separately, you really think too much! Don't even think about running away today! ”

A cold killing intent appeared at the corner of the squad leader Wu Yi's thick mouth, and he roared on the communication channel: "The devil plane in the direction of three o'clock has been handed over to me, and the rest of the planes continue to pursue the Naga devil plane at 12 o'clock!" You must beat me down the devil plane, and at the same time pay attention to your own safety, but don't take it lightly, do you hear clearly? Wu Yihou, who had reached the peak of his killing intent, pretended to be a private man, and decided to single-hand, the devil plane that covered the retreat of the long plane, and handed over the devil long plane a little ahead to the other three team members.

"Understood!" "Roger!" The other three members of the team were not ambiguous about the "Guaranteed Completion of the Mission", and they were full of confidence in their captain's air combat ability. "Little devil, give me death!"

The Flying Eagle 4 fighter was more than 200 kilometers per hour faster than the Devil Zero fighter, and after a full-speed pursuit, Wu Yihou finally bit the fighter piloted by Ha Yuan Mu Yong. Without any extra words, Wu Yihou firmly put the crosshair on the devil's fuselage, and then suddenly pressed the fire control switch. Bang bang bang, four machine guns spewed tongues of fire at the same time, and clusters of blue light flashed in the air, shooting towards the devil fighter.

"Yaga!" The glass of the cab reflected a few points of fire, and He Yuanmu Yong suddenly tightened his body, knowing that this was a Huaxia fighter firing and shooting. At the moment of life and death, where did he dare to slack off, he immediately pulled the joystick and quickly lifted the nose of the aircraft for tactical evasion. It has to be said that the maneuverability of the Zero fighter is still very good, and the fuselage was raised more than ten meters high in just one second, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

"Dog's day! Where to run! As soon as the blow missed, Wu Yihou was not discouraged, and immediately adjusted the nose pointing and soon locked on the target again. Immediately after, the four machine guns roared again, and four clusters of blue light shot towards the devil's fuselage. "Eight Ga Ya Road!" He Yuan Mu Yong really regretted that he had used up all the ammunition before, and at this moment, even if he wanted to trap the beast and fight to turn around and fight with Wu Yihou, he couldn't do it, so he could only passively dodge and run frantically. Whether it is strength or good luck, there will be a moment when it will eventually run out, and after dodging several firepower in a row, the Zero fighter piloted by Hahara Muyu was finally hit by Wu Yihou, and began to emit billowing smoke.

"Damn the Huaxia Air Force, one day the Imperial Army of Japan will kill you all!" At the last moment, Kawahara roared with resentment, and then the whole person and the fighter jet exploded and disintegrated in mid-air, turning into a ball of smoke billowing fire. This crazy and vicious little devil ended up with no place to die, and turned into a pile of black and unobstructed fragments.

As for Kitano Lian, who fled in the other direction, he was also unable to escape, and after escaping for dozens of kilometers, he was caught up by the angry Flying Tigers. Immediately afterwards, the Flying Tigers beat up violently, blasting the devil plane directly in the air, and the arrogant devil ace pilot Kitano Lian turned into a rain of blood.

Commander's Headquarters of the Burma Theater of Operations in Yangon. When Jiang Qiang was conducting a military flag drill with a group of senior generals, a communications staff officer walked into the war room with a telegram.

"What, a national army transport convoy in Myitkyina was bombed and attacked by devil planes, with heavy material losses and as many as 26 killed? When did these dog-days get so inflated? After reading the telegram, Jiang Qiang couldn't help frowning, this bit of loss and casualties can only be regarded as a drizzle for the entire Burma battle, but this news is not pleasant.

As the most important rear industrial base and logistics base, Myitkyina's security situation has always been very good, and devil combat planes rarely dare to go to Myitkyina to spread wilderness. Now that the devil has made such a play, it is really a big blow to the morale of the military and the people in the rear. In addition, if there are more such accidents, the Nationalist Government will most likely have thoughts that are not conducive to unity.

But then again, this is also the side that Yang Fan wants to see: the devil has begun to swell again, and his tactical deception has begun to work! "General seat, this is a dereliction of duty, please punish the general seat!" Li Jinglin stood up with a red face, as the supreme commander of the Air Force, he could only carry this black cauldron. "Well, this is the problem of the entire air defense system, and not the responsibility of one person!"

Jiang Qiang waved his hand, how could he not be aware of the technical loopholes in the current air defense system, and it was simply impossible to identify the friend or foe of every combat plane entering or leaving the airspace. Even if an enemy plane is discovered intruding into the airspace of the defense zone, whether it is ground anti-aircraft artillery or air force, there is no way to intercept it in a timely and accurate manner! "It is true that our air force is superior in terms of fighter performance compared to the Japanese invaders, but it is still in a weak position in terms of overall strength.

It is not easy for the Huaxia Flying Tigers and the US Air Brigade to ensure the basic security of the airspace in the defense zone and not to suffer from large-scale invading air raids by the Japanese Air Force. Stilwell also nodded in favor at this time, and then said: "It's just that recently, our air force has been consumed too much, and if it continues to deteriorate like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before the safety of the large rear industrial base can't be guaranteed!" In that case, the war consumption in our Burma theater will not be effectively replenished nearby! ”

Jiang Qiang raised his eyebrows and said: "To make it perish, we must first let it go crazy, and don't let the little devil taste some sweetness, how can we completely convince them that we are ready to give up Burma?" "Yes, I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, the little devil is not a bunch of stupid pigs!" Li Zongren sighed lightly, and then said in pieces: "It's just that this passive defense stage is too difficult and too aggrieved, I really hope that the timing of the strategic counteroffensive can come as early as possible!" ”

"What are you afraid of, it's not too late for a good dish!" Sun Zhen laughed nonchalantly, and said to Jiang Qiang in a good mood: "Compared to the previous war, my eyes were black, and I couldn't see any hope of victory, but now I don't know how many times stronger." Commander Jiang, our 22nd Group Army can return to the front line at any time, please feel free to issue any combat orders, and we promise to resolutely complete them! ”

"Good! Military heart is available also! Jiang Qiang nodded with a smile, and then said: "At present, the morale of the devils is in full swing, and the Bagu River defense line is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so it is really not suitable to defend it as strictly as the Salween River defense line." We need to use elastic defense to fight a war of attrition with the devils for a while, and in half a month at the latest, we can accumulate enough strength to fight a painful strategic counteroffensive! ”

Jiang Qiang is also full of ambition at this time, the consumption of technology and equipment on the surface is extremely serious, and he has fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage, in fact, Jiang Qiang has been holding back his big moves, and has secretly hoarded and mobilized enough strong reserves of weapons and materials, just waiting for the devil's sharpness to lose.

Tonggu, the military headquarters of the 2nd Army of the Asian Liberation Army in Burma. After the Japanese army conquered the defense line of the Salween River, its morale was greatly boosted, and the Burmese army, which had long been holding back its strength, burst out with unprecedented energy. In just over ten days, it successively conquered more than ten towns such as Pongzhen, Zhitong, Bilin, and Zhaito, occupied a large area of southern Myanmar, and advanced the front to the Siddang River defense line in one fell swoop. After a short period of repair, Umezu Yoshijiro divided the Japanese Burmese Dispatch Army into two, ordered the 19th Army to go all the way up to Tonggu along the plains on the east bank of the Sitang River, and cooperated with the 18th Army to open up contact.

The 15th and 20th armies concentrated their forces in the direction of Yangon, intending to break through Rangoon in one fell swoop and fully occupy the port city in southern Burma, so as to seize the forward home port for the Japanese naval fleet. Five days earlier, the Japanese 19th Army had conquered the town of Maochi in a bloody battle and advanced the battle line to the last outer line of defense at Tonggucheng. Tonggu is a small city on the South Burma Plain, also translated as Donghu or Donggua, 250 kilometers away from Yangon in the south, 320 kilometers away from Mandalay in the north, choking roads, railways and waterways.

Tonggu was an important city and strategic point of the Yangman Railway, echoing with Prome on the western route and Moltke on the eastern route, and was a barrier to prevent the Japanese army from attacking north. There was originally a Yongkegang military airport in the north of the ancient city, and later Yang Fan built a large-scale military airport at the foot of the eastern suburbs of the ancient city, and the strategic importance of the ancient city is naturally self-evident. In the same way, such an extremely important military and transportation point has become a military point that must be attacked in the eyes of the Japanese.

10 kilometers south of the ancient city, on both sides of the Sitang River, are the towns of Orton and Tandbin, which are also the last defensive barriers to the south of Tonggu. In addition, in the Benlong Mountains on the east side of the ancient city, Yang Fan was also heavily guarded, and there were powerful anti-aircraft artillery groups around the airport to prevent the Devil's Air Force and the Devil's Army from attacking the ancient city over the mountains and jungles.

Zhao Zhengbi, commander of the 2nd Army of the Asian Liberation Army of Burma, Wang Ceshan, chief of staff of the army, Fu Changming, commander of the 3rd Division, Duan Zhongyi, commander of the 4th Division, and Li Jinglin, commander of the Air Force, were gathering at the command post of the military headquarters to discuss and deduce the battle situation. Although it is more than 10 kilometers away from the frontline battlefield, the rumbling sound of artillery and explosions is still loud in the ears, and the continuous approach of the war has put great mental pressure on everyone. Not for anything else, just because Tonggu has now become one of the key points in the entire Burma battle, and there is no room for mistakes!

At the same time, the 19th Army, which was determined to win, had been attacking the Orton and Tandbin lines for more than 10 days, and in addition to the continuous strong attacks of the Devil's Army units regardless of casualties, the Devils also used a large number of heavy artillery and combat planes to launch a frenzied artillery bombardment of the forward positions and the ancient city of Tonggu again and again. The 2nd Army of the Tiger Expedition, which was responsible for garrisoning the Tonggu defense line, did not give an inch under the coordinated operation of the Flying Tigers, and stubbornly withstood the crazy attacks of the devils again and again.

At the cost of more than 1,900 lives, the 2nd Army has annihilated more than 6,400 Japanese invaders, making the arrogant and radical devil soldiers once again taste the pain of hitting the iron plate. The strong morale inspired by the 19th Army's previous attack on the Salween River defense line has begun to decline significantly. Listening to the endless rumbling cannons and looking at everyone's sad looks, Li Jinglin couldn't hold back a little, and took the initiative to ask:

"Commander Zhao, the devil's aircraft artillery is too arrogant, and the brothers of the front-line troops are working too hard, so let's let the Air Force go out and fight hard!"

"Commander Li, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, the general seat has already formulated the overall layout, and we must implement it with an eye on it. Your air force's combat strategy at this stage is guerrilla warfare, and while deterring and containing the devil's air force, seek an opportunity to destroy the devil's air force! ”

Zhao Zhengbi waved his hand, he didn't want to play the shuttle happily, but now it was still a little hot! "Alas! In the final analysis, our industrial base is too weak, and the production of combat aircraft cannot keep up with consumption, otherwise why would we be so! Li Jinglin sighed deeply, before he fought hard with the devil air force, he always felt that he was strong enough to sweep thousands of armies and beat the little devils to the ground.

But after a few months, Li Jinglin really understood that in addition to fighting hard, what is more important is fighting industrial production capacity!

Jiang Qiang's army has trained a strong enough contingent of pilots, with more than 700 experienced ace pilots, more than 2,400 qualified senior pilots, and more than 3,000 flight cadets who have not yet gone to the battlefield or are currently being trained. However, at present, there are only more than 700 combat planes left in the Burma theater, and the total number of combat planes lost in the months after entering the Burma operation is as high as nearly 1,000.

Although more than 2,000 devil planes have been killed before and after, Japan's industrial production capacity is enough for them to obtain a considerable degree of supplies to maintain the superior strength of the air force in the Burma theater! Zhao Zhengbi patted Li Jinglin's shoulder and said, "Okay! Commander Li, don't be sentimental, our Air Force started from scratch, everything is from scratch, and it is already very against the sky to have today's belongings and strength, okay? ”

The honest Duan Zhongyi hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes! Oh, yes! The national government has mobilized the strength of the whole country, and there is no such powerful air force, and the Flying Tigers created by our headquarters are really amazing! "Alright, now let's get down to business!"

After chatting a few words, Zhao Zhengbi turned his head to look at Fu Changming and said: "Division Commander Duan, your 3rd Division has been blocking the Japanese invaders in the Otun and Tandbin defense lines for more than ten days, I know that the officers and men of the whole division are extremely tired, but you can't be removed yet, can you continue to hold out for more than three days?" Fu Changming hurriedly raised his head and pouted his buttocks, patted his chest at Yang Chengliang and promised: "Please rest assured, our 3rd Division will definitely be firmly nailed to the position, and we will never let go of the little devil!"

Don't say three days, even if it's ten days and half a month, it's not a problem! At this time, Duan Zhongyi was a little anxious, and took the initiative to ask: "Junzao, you just said that the brothers of the 3rd Division have been fighting with the devil for more than ten days, and they are already very tired, shouldn't we change our guard in the fourth thing at this time?" "Master Duan, don't worry! Good steel is used on the blade, and your 4th Division only needs to continue to recharge and wait for the next combat order! Zhao Zhengbi grinned and said: "According to the current battle situation, it will be three days at most, and we should carry out a strategic counteroffensive, and then your 4th Division will become the main attack force, are you still afraid that there will be no meat to eat at that time?" ”
