The blood would be diluted by the rain, but the rain could not dilute the large number of people around Myitkyina, and the four infantry groups of the Chinese Expeditionary Force fought bravely in the vast rainy night.
Unlike previous battles, whether it was the Chinese Expeditionary Force or the Japanese army, neither side had any way to retreat, and the troops commanded by Yang Jin were killed on the ground after a frantic killing, and finally, the spirit of the Japanese counterattack troops collapsed, and they could not defeat those who were much smaller than them, but they were unusually crazy and bloodthirsty and tenacious.
The whole city of Myitkyina seemed to be in a frenzy, small squadrons were bravely interspersed with attacks, and small groups of Japanese troops were also desperately counterattacking, the officer's command had lost its effect on both sides at the moment, and in the pouring rain mixed with the sound of gunfire, no one could hear what people were saying nearby.
Battles, fierce battles, everything revolves around battles.
The 6th Division, known as one of the two strongest units of the Japanese Army, collided fiercely with the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the strongest of the Chinese Army, with one side having fallen from defending the glory of the Imperial Army to fighting for survival, while the other desperately tried to wash away the overwhelming humiliation with the blood of the enemy.
The tragic hand-to-hand combat made the Japanese soldiers see no hope of victory, and the Japanese soldiers who lacked command began to break away from the battle with one or two people to break up locally or even the whole line, and it only took a few tens of seconds, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in the places where the fierce battles had just been fought were entangled with the corpses of the Chinese soldiers, and there were heavy abandoned corpses of damaged weapons everywhere.
In front of Yang Jin was the headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which only had a few dozen officers, and if it was destroyed, the Japanese troops in Dongcheng would fall into a command halt and fight separately.
Yokobin Ikeda's face was pale, his arm trembling desperately as he held the katana, he was already aware of the arrival of the last moment.
It is a pity that the rainy night not only provided cover for the offensive of the Chinese expeditionary force, but also plunged the Chinese and Japanese armies into a certain degree of chaos.
The planning of Myitkyina's urban area was basically managed by the British, who lacked a sense of responsibility to pay the most attention to Burmese jewelry and jadeite, and did not care about the construction of urban road traffic, so the seemingly straight road in Myitkyina is actually a large arc.
Killing in the dark, Yang Jin led the troops to chase a Japanese rout along the street.
Their purpose was originally the center of the city.
But damn the streets got them off course.
Undoubtedly.
The irregular streets of Myitkyina made Yang Jin miss the best opportunity to break through the ironclad defenses of the Japanese Sixth Division on the whole line.
There are no ifs in war.
There is no regret that the war is in a way and in a sense fair.
Early in the morning of May.
The rainstorm has turned lighter.
But there was no sign of pause, and after a fierce battle, Myitkyina, and the battlefield finally fell silent.
The Chinese and Japanese armies are like two fierce beasts that have been fighting for a long time. are all protecting their wounds and preparing to fight again.
The Chinese expeditionary force offensive finally came to a halt.
Kanda immediately took advantage of this rare opportunity to redeploy and adjust his forces.
At this moment, there are still more than 17,000 people in the 6th Division.
Sticking to the existing defense area is still relatively abundant. looked at the division commander with a haggard and tired expression.
Staff Officer Takada hurriedly handed Kanda a cup of hot tea.
Kanda Masa nodded to Takada Masao with satisfaction and said, "Takada-kun."
This rain has helped us a lot.
The Chinese expeditionary force should have stopped the attack because of the logistical supply area" Takada Masao nodded thoughtfully and said, "The firepower of the Chinese army is dozens of times greater than that of our army.
Especially their individual firepower.
It is beyond the reach of our army.
But these stupid Chi people ignore the fact that these powerful weapons need to be more powerful, well-developed, logistically and extremely industrially.
The Chinese relied on the United States for replenishment and provision.
This is inevitable. ” Kanda Masaka took a sip of bitter tea, frowned slightly, and said: "Our purpose in launching this war is actually to destroy the will of the people of China to resist, no matter what kind of weapons and equipment they have or millions of troops, once they lose the will to resist, then they are the meal on the plate of our fight against the Japanese Imperial Army, how to eat, when to eat, it is up to us to decide."
Kanda Masazen's mood at this moment can be described as a sunny day, because just two hours ago, he received a telegram from Tanaka Shinichi, and Tanaka Shinichi had received an order from Yamashita Fufumi to lead the 8th Division, the 55th Division, and the 24th, 26th, and C5th Brigades into the battle to relieve the siege of Myitkyina.
But two hours ago, Kanda Masang thought that Tanaka Shinichi was just standing and talking without back pain, and his feelings were not his 8th Division in the encirclement, although Kanda Masang also knew that the sudden rainstorm represented the arrival of the rainy season in Burma, and the muddy roads and rainy days would completely interrupt the sky supply of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the land supply would also be in trouble, Tanaka Shinichi, a cunning old fox who liked to hide himself, had the meaning of rushing to pick fruit, Kanda Masang believed that if not The heavy rain interrupted the logistical supply of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and Tanaka refused to move half a step in Mandalay, but at this moment Kanda Masazene could only express his gratitude to Tanaka Shinichi.
Song Yuhang, who had not closed his eyes for two days and nights, inspected every wounded in the No. 3 Temporary Field Hospital with concern, and told them one by one to recuperate from their injuries with peace of mind, and as soon as the rain stopped, they would be transported to the major hospital in Kunming immediately.
Walking out of the field hospital, Cui Zhijun sighed slightly and said: "This is only part of the wounded of the Fourth Light Division, the specific casualty figures cannot be counted, the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army is the two divisions with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Japanese Army, if it is replaced by the Sixth Division of the dog day in 37 years, I am afraid our casualties will double."
Song Yuhang snorted with his nose, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Sixth Division is indeed very strong, but Song Yuhang thinks that at least it is not strong to the point that Cui Zhijun said, in the bad weather environment, the Chinese soldiers fought with the Japanese army that occupied the terrain advantage with the light weapons in their hands, and the casualties were naturally not small, but the annihilation of the Japanese Sixth Division was equivalent to clearing all the Japanese troops north of Myitkyina, opening the Chinese Expeditionary Force's direct access to Mandalay, and completely cutting off the connection between the Indian attack troops of the Japanese Burmese Front and the Burmese garrison, What is more important is to annihilate the Sixth Division and avenge the hundreds of thousands of innocent compatriots who were martyred in Nanjing.
So in any case, Song Yuhang thought that it was worth it to annihilate the Japanese Sixth Division at any cost However, after days of fierce attacks, the supply and ammunition of the Chinese expeditionary force were depleted very quickly, and there was no good news from Kunming to Dali and Dali to Lirui in the rear.
Mandalay's two divisions and three mixed brigades poured out like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Song Yuhang, who learned the news, had a trace of sleepiness gone, in order to jump to attack Myitkyina, Song Yuhang released the mountain infantry division Zhang Tiansheng's troops in his hand, and placed them between Mandalay and Myitkyina, but he didn't expect this chess piece to play an unexpected role, that is, to block the Japanese army from Mandalay eastward.
For this reason, Song Yuhang told Zhang Tiansheng very clearly in the call: "There is only one order, stick to Naba at all costs, there is no backup during this period, not even ammunition supply, the mountain infantry division must be until the main force occupies Myitkyina, and the mountain infantry division must be like a nail, firmly nailed to Naba." ” In the end, Song Yuhang told Zhang Tiansheng to prepare for the worst, and immediately dispatched the backbone of the battle and officers to form a seed regiment and retreat to Myitkyina.
After issuing the order, Song Yuhang convened a military meeting above the brigade commander, at which Song Yuhang reported on the current difficult situation, ammunition and supplies were no longer enough to maintain the use of high-intensity fortifications, and the news from the rear just now that it would take at least three days to restore the roads that had been washed away by the heavy rain.
Song Yuhang looked around at all the brigade commanders attending the meeting, everyone here was pulled up by him, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is no exaggeration to say that it has almost become the "Song Army", compared to the tax police corps back then, Song Yuhang's Song Army is the only real trump card iron army.
Song Yuhang took a deep breath and said: "Everyone knows very well that our army has run out of ammunition supplies at this time, and the reinforcements of three mixed brigades from the two divisions of the Japanese army have rushed from Mandalay along the line of Ruibao, Ugin and Gaolin to Myitkyina, and Zhang Tiansheng's mountain infantry division has been ordered to block the main force of the Japanese army in Naba. ” Hearing this news, everyone gasped, Wang Chongxian looked at the sand table and looked at the map and said: "The Japanese army is coming along the railway, so that they don't have to take the south road and pass through the river, this north road is indeed the best two days to reach Myitkyina, it will take at least a week to change to the south road, as long as our army is stuck in Naba, with the blockage of the Minjin Mountains in the north, the little devil can only be honestly blocked in Naba, wait for our army to take Myitkyina, replenish the supplies and ammunition, and divide the troops into two ways to take Mandalay and join the mountain infantry division, The main force of the Burmese garrison of the Japanese army was encircled and annihilated, and the battle was a success."

After Wang Chongxian finished speaking, he pretended to look at Song Yuhang and smiled slightly, Song Yuhang knew what Wang Chongxian meant, Wang Chongxian has always advocated that it is better to discuss or announce matters related to strategic decision-making at a meeting of officers below the army level.
Song Yuhang surprisingly did not express any objection to this, and he also knew that if it was really according to what Wang Chongxian said, the mountain infantry division would probably disappear in the sequence of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Song Yuhang looked at his watch, and said loudly with an expressionless face: "I order" All the military commanders who were whispering immediately stood up, turned to Song Yuhang at forty-five degrees, and looked at these resolute and confident faces, Song Yuhang continued to say loudly: "All departments must resume the attack on Myitkyina in two hours, if there are difficulties, you can overcome them yourself, I don't want your casualties, I just want Myitkyina"
