The tide of the battle suddenly reversed, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force was really as Shen Liang feared, whether the Chinese saw through their own plans or their commander Song Yuhang was just a guy with no tactical foresight, Yamashita Fengwen was unsure for a while.
As the head of the remaining troops of the Burma Front, Shinichi Tanaka has sent several telegrams, demanding that the 1st Mixed Regiment, which had just arrived in Yangon, be sent to Mandalay, and together with the 55th Division and the 24th and 26th Brigades, it should be sent to Myitkyina to reinforce the 6th Division, repel the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and secure Burma.
Yamashita Fengwen still has some understanding of Tanaka Shinichi, who was supposed to serve as the chief of staff of the front army, but due to his own interference, he appointed the more obedient and intimate Alum Village Takeshi to serve in this position, so on some strategic direction issues, Tanaka Shinichi, a local household with a deep background, always sings against Yamashita Fengwen from time to time, which is also the main reason why Yamashita Fengwen left him behind, for disobedient people, Yamashita Fengwen is not interested.
At present, he is leading the main force to prepare to gather in Calcutta, and the strategic and tactical deployment for Burma has already been formulated, and now Tanaka Shinichi has jumped out to contradict himself, which has indeed caused Yamashita Fengfu a headache, and the sixth division is a very important mobile outcast in the battle plan formulated by Yamashita Fumi, and the purpose of abandoning the son is to exchange local interests for a balance of sufficient interests.
It is not news to the Imperial Army that a division is being systematically damaged under the condition that the people do not raise officials and do not correct it, but if someone reports that they deliberately sacrificed and abandoned the Sixth Division, it will be different, the Sixth Division, as one of the old divisions of the Standing Division, was established on May 12, 1888, and the Second Division Sendai is known as the two strongest and most combat-effective forces in the Japanese Army, its predecessor was the Kumamoto Town Terrace set up in 1873, During the Southwest War, this unit was surrounded by the Satsuma clan troops led by Saigo Takamori in Kumamoto Castle, and withstood Saigo's tidal attack with a strong will.
The Sixth Division had a wide network of contacts in both the base camp and the staff headquarters, and he was transferred from the Kwantung Army and reinstated in exchange for Tojo Hideki, and just ignoring the destruction of the Sixth Division was enough to make him unable to turn over in the army forever.
Frightened into a cold sweat, Yamashita Fengfu suddenly realized that no matter whether Tanaka Shinichi's trick wins or loses, he will be pushed down against the entire army veteran standing division officer, and the factional power of these people is almost equal to the entrenched power of the entire Japanese Army, as a staunch royalist general, Yamashita Fengfu naturally knows the terrible nature of this force.
And in Myitkyina, the Sixth Division under the command of Kanda Masa is facing the biggest crisis since its formation, according to common sense, after a night of bloody fighting, the two sides will slowly withdraw from the battle after dawn, for a short rest and replenishment, but after dawn, because the line of sight is not disturbed by the night, the accuracy of the tank direct fire of the Chinese expeditionary force has been greatly improved, and several machine guns on the covered Greyhound wheeled armored vehicles are like bursting beans, losing the cover of night.
The Japanese death squads were trying to get close to the Spitfire almost as a luxury.
The offensive of the Chinese Expeditionary Force is becoming more and more fierce, the Chinese seem to never be tired, as if they have endless blood and eternal life, under the cover of tanks and artillery, the Chinese Expeditionary Force ground infantry clusters have followed to break through the second trench of the Japanese army, in the chaotic shooting, the powerful firepower of the Chinese soldiers' individual weapons suffocated the counterattacking Japanese troops, at a very close distance, the soldiers of China and Japan are exchanging their lives, and the Japanese soldiers know that the second trench is actually their last barrier, Once a breakthrough was made, there was only one way to die in street fighting with the Chinese expeditionary force in Myitkyina, which had an absolute advantage in firepower and numbers, and the Japanese troops on the counterattack under the leadership of the officers stripped off their shirts one after another, and shouted frantically with bayonets from alleys, houses, intersections, and even underground, and under the fierce fire of the Chinese soldiers, the Japanese soldiers rushed to the ground one after another, and the Chinese soldiers also abandoned their corpses in the brave fight.
As the breach continued to expand, the sappers who followed behind the infantry began to set up a passage in the rain of bullets before the position was secured, but soon the sappers realized a very serious problem, the second trench of the Japanese army seemed to be too wide, and even the special boat bridge was about five meters shorter, and the Chinese sappers had to look for usable materials nearby.
Tanks, armored vehicles, and even field artillery could not pass.
But the battle has been raging for a long time.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force ground infantry would have fought without these powerful support weapons.
They use cluster grenades, blasting canisters, bags.
In densely populated areas, a battle was staged with the Japanese army for victory from house to house, alley to alley, and street to street.
Kanda Masa and a staff officer stood with bitter faces 。
The tenacity of the Chinese expeditionary force exceeded all of their expectations.
Beasts of prey move quickly.
The besieged Chinese infantry had four clusters of infantry and seemed to be desperately advancing at all costs.
The Japanese army had turned all the buildings in Myitkyina into fortifications.
Chinese soldiers used the method of blasting the ground.
Blow up a little bit and blow it up.
Larger explodes and swarms in on several sides.
In the city of Myitkyina, where the smoke of gunfire filled.
Everywhere there was the sound of screaming and fighting.
Gunshots, explosions.
Everywhere there were people in the warring field.
Every second a person dies in agony This is a battle of revenge.
The Chinese soldiers burst out with unprecedented combat effectiveness.
They have only one purpose.
Kill every Japanese soldier in this city, and don't let go.
The summary of the battle situation on all fronts made Song Yuhang unhappy.
The rate at which the troops are attacking is undoubtedly rapid.
But the casualties were equally staggering.
Every house, every fortification, every street in the city.
All Chinese soldiers are needed for blood and lives.
And as the most advantageous support weapon.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force's ground armored units were still waiting for the sappers to build bridges by the second trench.
At the eastern part of the city, a major stretched out a bloodied lieutenant into the trench, and several nurses rushed over to check and bandage the lieutenant, who looked at an overturned greyhound in the trench with a look of pity.
The major glared at the lieutenant vigorously and said, "Hu Minghua, you kid dare to give me a try, before I shoot you first, no one is allowed to drive through the trench before I shoot you." ” Hu Minghua looked at the direction of the fierce battle in the city and the wounded carried down by a group and said anxiously: "Battalion Commander Zhang, Uncle Zhang's infantry brothers shed blood and died in front, the casualties without our support for them are too great, you are letting me try, there is a break point in the south, I will definitely be able to pass" Battalion Commander Zhang looked at the direction of the fierce battle in the city, and said to Hu Minghua with a slight hesitation: "You are injured like this, and you can still go to me personally."
Hu Minghua was in a hurry, Yiba pushed away the nurse who bandaged him, and yelled: "Lao Tzu, I have turned over the car three times, who has my experience?"
Battalion Commander Zhang was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, kicked Hu Minghua's ass and said: "Leave your own sister, the car overturned and turned out of the glory to drive carefully, these puppies and greyhounds are all Lao Tzu's own sons, I can't disturb you when the car rolls over."
The Chinese Expeditionary Force was storming Myitkyina, the Japanese army was heavily concentrated on the outskirts of Calcutta, the British Army had already engaged the Japanese army for the second time, and the Australian 8th Infantry Brigade deployed in Makajia was broken through by the 2nd Division in just four hours.
After the war, Mountbatten personally sheltered the remnants of the Australian army, and he was extremely shocked that the Australian Eighth Infantry Brigade, which had nearly 7,000 people before the war, only contained less than 70C people As soon as Yamashita Fengfumi made a move, he put the 2nd Division, the 15th Division, and the 33rd Division, each with a chariot wing belonging to the 2nd Tank Division, and marched in unison in a zigzag pattern, sweeping the British strongholds and positions on the outskirts of Calcutta with a thunderous force.

The Japanese army in Calcutta had the power of thunder sweeping the holes, while the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Myitkyina was smashing Huanglong, just when the Chinese Expeditionary Force was fully encircling Myitkyina with the intention of completely annihilating the Japanese Sixth Division, the bad weather in the weather forecast finally came.
The heavy rain in Tuo brought unexpected and huge troubles to the Chinese Expeditionary Force's fortification, first of all, it interrupted the supply of air transport, and the wounded could not be transported by plane in time, because the heavy rain caused many flash floods from the front line of Longling, the roads were washed away, and the supply of ammunition for the Chinese Expeditionary Force suddenly came to a standstill.
The tremendous power of American-style weaponry is accompanied by also huge consumption, and the theory of winning the firepower of mechanized troops is actually logistics.
On May 3rd, the torrential rain showed some signs of being smaller, Song Yuhang stood in the tent and looked at the map and was worried, 2 years ago, a similar heavy rainstorm saved their lives in Tonggu, and today's heavy rain seems to have added a lot of trouble to the Chinese expeditionary force.
The artillery fire of the Chinese Expeditionary Force has changed from fierce to focused bombardment, which is undoubtedly good news for Kanda Masashi, since the beginning of the battle, about 50 imperial officers and soldiers have died under the fire of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which has lost artillery support and cannot use Spitfire tanks, has been slightly exhausted after several days of attack.
As the Japanese army continued to shrink and continue to defend, the unit firepower density of the Japanese army was gradually increasing, and the casualties of the Chinese soldiers began to increase, sometimes in order to take a street or blast a pillbox, it was necessary to set up dozens of soldiers in the early stage, even so, the Chinese soldiers had to be on guard against the local small-scale counter-assault that the Japanese army might launch at any time, and sometimes the two sides needed to fight over the street more than a dozen times until the artillery fire leveled the street
