The main force of the New First Army broke through the enemy's positions in succession and swept the Japanese position on the left side almost cleanly.After two rounds of impact, the left line of the devil completely collapsed and fled to the rear.They collapsed, and even a division of the devils who were fighting on the right side began to retreat, and they retreated two kilometers into a town before stopping."
It's the Yankees and the Shina who are attacking us," the commander of the 18th Division yelled at a wing commander who had also retreated from the front line as soon as he retreated into town."
Your Excellency, it should be the Chinese army's troops left in India, they are trained by the Americans, and all the American equipment is mechanized, so the firepower will be so fierce," the wing commander shouted loudly.At this time, a loud roar suddenly sounded outside the town, and countless footsteps echoed outside the town."
Damn, why is it so fast" The commander of the 18th Division stomped his feet fiercely, turned his head and yelled at the other two wing commanders: "We can't retreat any further, otherwise the Chinese army will impact our main force, and we must defend here" The two wing commanders nodded one after another: "Your Excellency, please give the order, here is your highest rank" The commander of the 18th Division was not polite, and immediately shouted: "The two of you took the troops out of the town separately and defended the town in an inverted triangle formation.The main force of my 18th Division is guarding the town, waiting for the frontal impact of the Chinese army" "Go, whether we can hold this place or not depends on whether we survive to the end" The commander of the 18th Division shouted.They were followed by a division of the New First Army, which, as soon as they arrived outside the town, was immediately hit by fire from the left and right flanks."
Quick, we need artillery support, ask for friendly artillery support, tell them the coordinates" The commander of the vanguard unit hid behind a rock and yelled at the communication soldiers beside him.Soon, the artillery units of the American army, which were three kilometers away, received a call for help from the front line."
Sir, our friendly forces need artillery support, here are the coordinates," an American GI handed the transcribed coordinates to the artillery colonel.The colonel nodded, and said sharply: "Immediately adjust the muzzle of the gun, aim at these two coordinates and bomb intensively, and blow up the little Japanese devil" The "obedient" soldier saluted with a beautiful military salute and turned to leave.After a few moments, hundreds of artillery pieces from the Americans began to bombard both sides of the town where the Japanese were guarding.The two Japanese wings guarding the area suffered heavy losses and quickly withdrew from the building and took refuge in the open space.The regiment, which had been stopped, immediately launched an offensive into the town, and as soon as it approached, it bombarded the suspicious place with mortars.The other two regiments of the division bypassed both sides of the bombed town and attacked the town from the flank rear.At this moment, the 18th Division guarding the town actually did not have many troops, and it had fled from Waza to Mandalay, and then from Mandalay to here, and after the round of attacks just now, they had only about 7,000 troops left.Surrounded by a division, coupled with the artillery assistance of the Americans, they were already at the point where there was no way to escape.But the commander of the 18th Division ordered all troops that they must not flee and must die here.In any case, they also had to delay the pace of the Chinese army's offensive Sun Liren did not invest all his troops, and his other two ace divisions were still tightly clutched in his hands.And he has been calmly observing the battlefield from a distance, looking for any point that can be broken through, and then inflicting the most lethal damage on the Japanese."
Commander, we only have two choices at this time," the chief of staff suggested: "Either break through from the front and take out the devils in this town." ”"Either sneak attack the rear of the Japanese army and disrupt their rear, so that the Japanese will not be able to attack the British friendly forces with all their might" Sun Liren listened and shook his head lightly: "No, we have a third choice" "The third option" The chief of staff asked in surprise: "What do you mean" The corner of Sun Liren's mouth hooked a faint smile: "We attack the forward troops of the Japanese army, crush their attack from the flank, and rescue the British allies from the root" The chief of staff looked at Sun Liren in shock: "Military seat, if you do this, The spearhead of the Japanese will all be pointed at us.When the time comes, with the urine of the British, they will definitely turn a blind eye, and I hope that the Japanese will attack us, so that they can breathe a sigh of relief" Sun Ren smiled faintly: "Then we will use both prongs, both to attack their rear and confuse the Japanese."
At the same time, attack their forward troops and completely disrupt their deployment" The chief of staff was not speaking, and in front of his own military seat, who was good at the art of war, he felt that his thinking was too narrow."
Send two regiments, immediately bypass the town, and attack the rear of the Japanese immediately" Sun Liren sneered: "The rest of the troops are advancing towards the forward troops of the Japanese, waiting for my order to attack" The main force was immediately divided into two parts, and the two regiments quietly touched the flank and rear of the Japanese army, while Sun Liren slowly sneaked towards the battlefield where the Japanese and the British were exchanging fire with the real main force.After an hour's march, the forces of the two regiments went around to the rear of the Japanese army.But there was an infantry camp in front of them blocking their way, and they had to pull it out if they wanted to get through."
Let's start here, we're already behind the little devils anyway," one of the regimental commanders said to the other."
Do you want to blow it up first," the regimental commander laughed.A moment later, the mortars of both regiments were aimed at the Japanese camp at the same time.The whistling of cannonballs suddenly sounded, and the devil's camp was instantly ablaze, and thick gunpowder smoke filled everywhere.In the camp, the devils fled in all directions in a panic, and the two regiments of the national army took advantage of the situation to kill and rushed into the camp of the Japanese army."
Report" In the Japanese headquarters, a devil ran in in a panic, and when he saw Mutaguchi Lianya, he shouted: "The Shina people suddenly attacked our rear, and the 129th Wing is fighting with them" Mutaguchi Ryoya's eyes showed an extremely vicious look: "Damn the Shina people, it is really not bad at all as I guessed."
It is to attract my main force to retreat, and then solve the crisis of the British" "Sir, the rear troops asked, do you want to surround it, and completely annihilate this branch of the army, and our rear troops still have a division" The devil officer asked.Mu Taguchi Lian also thought about it, and immediately shook his head: "No, let the 129 Wing block them."
The rest of the army, all marching towards the front, attacking the British positions with all their might" "This" The devil officer obviously did not expect his commander to give such an order, and was stunned for a moment."
Hurry up, don't you understand my order, if you delay the fighter, I'll kill you first," Mutaguchi Ryoya roared angrily.The devil officer was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask anything anymore, so he turned around and left.In the command headquarters, Kawabe Shozo endured his anger and looked at Mutaguchi Renya blindly commanding.Kawabe Shozo knew too well that if all the troops in the rear were transferred to the front, the rear defense would be completely empty.Moreover, who will protect the logistics troops in the back has already cut off their logistics line, and at this time, if even those things of the logistics troops are copied by the enemy, then the entire Japanese army will be finished."
Muta-kun, you are thinking about it, you are so blindly attacking regardless of the logistics line, if" Kawabe Shozo finally couldn't help but speak, but he only said a few words, and was directly interrupted by Mutaguchi Lianya."
Riverside Chief, this is my headquarters, and I'm the commander here.My tactical thinking, not something you can understand, please don't bother me, okay, let me concentrate on winning this battle, otherwise, will you be responsible for the consequences of defeat" Mutaguchi Ryoya looked at Kawabe Shozo coldly, and the angry Kawabe Shozo sat on the chair and didn't want to speak anymore.Dada Da Mu Taguchi Lian also transferred almost all the Japanese troops in the rear to the front line, and more than 100,000 Japanese troops attacked the British army at the same time, the scene was extremely strong, if you look at it from a high altitude, it is a completely epic scene.At this time, Sun Liren had already led his troops to the flank of the Japanese army and the British army, coldly observing the scene of the battle between the two sides."
The British, it seems, they can't hold it anymore, should we attack immediately?"
asked an officer.Sun Liren shook his head: "Let the British fight for a while, and the little devils can't break through for the time being, and the moment when the British really can't support it, is the best time for us to attack."
At that time, it was also the time when the little devil's vigilance was at its worst, and we could get better results," the officer said with a smile.Booming on the positions of the British, artillery fire covered almost every inch of land.The British soldiers could only lie on their stomachs in the trenches, without even a chance to raise their heads.The Japanese had reinforcements, and under the cover of artillery fire, they immediately launched a new round of assault and killed the British positions.At this moment, less than ten kilometers away from the Imphal area, Gao Dong and the First Army approached from the left, and Xue Yue led the troops to approach from the right, and the rumbling artillery of the battlefield ahead could already be heard."
Report to the captain, I have already reconnoitred the rear of the Japanese army" Zhang Huilong hurriedly came to the headquarters of Gaodong, and said excitedly as soon as he met: "The devil transferred all the main forces to the front and started a decisive battle with the British.The rear is empty, leaving the logistics troops idle in the open space" Hu Xinghan patted his head and asked: "I heard me right, the Japanese left all the logistics troops in the rear, without any protection" "No" Zhang Huilong smiled: "Not only is there no protection, but the Japanese don't seem to care about their rear at all, and they are wholeheartedly competing with the British" "casually put the logistics troops behind, knowing that the logistics supply line was cut off, and they were still so willful" Hu Xinghan turned his head and asked Gao Dong: "Chief of Staff, That Mutaguchi Ryoya, wouldn't it be our own people, right, are we the senior spy we planted in the devil" Gao Dong laughed: "I don't know about this, but since they gave us a big gift."
It would be rude if you didn't"aa2705221:
