Chapter 995: Heavy Artillery Brigade

In the silence of the night, the sound of the motor of the car was noisy, although they were not fast, but the sound of the motor sounded a little hoarse, as if it was a little weightless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This convoy is the heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army, because the Snow Wolf special combat team not only uprooted a railway more than a mile long, but also blew up several bridges along the road, and there is no possibility of repairing it within three days, moreover, the railway has also been targeted by the expeditionary force, the safety factor is lower than the road, destroying a train, it is far simpler than a convoy, and the concentrated materials and personnel are easier and more thorough to attack, and the Japanese army can no longer afford to consume it.

Coupled with the fact that the battle was raging at the front, the Japanese army had no more time to wait. Combined with various considerations, the Japanese Southern Army Command finally decided to take the road, although this consumed a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but in the face of security issues, everything was not important.

The Japanese army also specially arranged a cart behind the car, on which the cart was loaded with twin anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to prevent the air attack of the expeditionary force.

Moreover, there are also night sky fighters patrolling the sky to escort the heavy artillery brigade, and once any abnormal movement is detected, the convoy will enter a static state, and the camouflage will be completely integrated with the night, even if it encounters the night reconnaissance plane of the expeditionary force, it is not afraid.

As for the ground forces, the Japanese army also specially sent an infantry wing to search and protect along the way, which was used to deal with the Snow Wolf special combat team that might appear in the expeditionary force.

The Japanese army was painstakingly arranged, and with this level of protection, it can be said that it is basically foolproof.

In the middle of the transport convoy, Major General Yoshida Kazuho, the commander of the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Army, commanded the sword pillar and sat majestically in the armored command vehicle, and next to him sat the chief of staff, Shimono Ichiro Osa.

There is not a small space in the command vehicle, and there is also a radio station, an on-board communication system, two telecommunications corps, and a lieutenant adjutant.

The lights are on in the car, and both windows are blocked by thick flannel to ensure that no light is exposed to the outside.

Yoshida Ichiho shook his stiff neck, picked the corner of the window flannel with his command knife, glanced at the outside that was pitch black and couldn't see anything, and said, "Shimono-kun, how long will it take to reach Xibao at this speed?" ”

Shimono Ichiro moved this buttocks, changed his sitting position, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yoshida Kazuho, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yoshida-kun, we will definitely be able to arrive in Xibao as scheduled before dawn, and you don't have to worry too much about safety, didn't General Nishimura send a message just now?" The Snow Wolf Special Operations Team was carried in his hands, and more than 20 helicopter gunships were shot down by the Imperial Army, and they would never have thought that the Imperial Army would use heavy artillery brigades to deal with Lashio, which was not a strong fortress, so you don't have to worry at all. ”

Yoshida Ichihuo frowned, a crystal bead of sweat rolled down the corner of his eyes, although the armored car was tightly wrapped, but the ventilation effect was still good, the night temperature in Myanmar was low, and it was not so hot that it was sweating, he was indeed a little nervous, and cast a grateful look at Ichiro Shimono, Yoshida Ichiho took off the white gloves that were already wet, took the handkerchief and wiped it on his face, and then pretended to smile easily: "I'm not worried about the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, after all, it's only a hundred or so people, and there are no waves, I am afraid that Jiang Haoran's air force will be defeated. ”

"Hahaha!" Shimono Ichiro laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke, "Yoshida-kun, you are too deified Jiang Haoran, the heavy artillery brigade is a strategic-level weapon, and its movements are tightly covered by the high-level officials, Jiang Haoran cannot be prescient, not to mention that we still have night fighters escorting in the air, once their reconnaissance plane enters our airspace, we will immediately be invisible in the night, and even if Jiang Haoran notices something, he will definitely stare at our railway, dozens of tons of heavy artillery on the road, let alone him, Even we think it's a little incredible, don't you think? ”

"Yo Xi!" Yoshida Kazuho nodded, as if he agreed with Shimono Ichiro's statement, and the originally nervous expression on his face relaxed a little, not that he was timid and afraid, but that the responsibility on his body was too heavy, which made him a little breathless.

Just after the tense atmosphere in the car was eased, the radio suddenly sounded dripping, which suddenly made everyone look dazed, and the mood that had just relaxed was brought up again, this radio is a special radio station responsible for air liaison or emergency, and it generally does not ring for no reason, only something may happen.

Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, the telegraph soldiers hurriedly received the message, and after a period of confusion, they brought the news that everyone in the car was a little collapsed and weak, and their night reconnaissance planes and fighters were suddenly attacked by a group of enemy fighters.

The message was incomplete, as if it had been broken before it was finished, and it was very reminiscent of whether they had been destroyed by the planes of the expeditionary force.

"Order the convoy to stop, drip!" Yoshida Kazuho suddenly jumped up and roared.

The signal corps immediately picked up the on-board intercom and ordered the convoy to stop, and the troops went into alert.

The sound of the car's motor suddenly stopped, and there was silence in the command car, Yoshida Kazuho swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, picked up the command knife, ordered the soldiers to turn off the lights in the car, and then opened the door and walked out of the armored command car.

Outside, there was a messy sound of footsteps, the clashing of guns, and the sound of bullets being loaded, and after two minutes, Yoshida Kazuho adapted to the weak light, and saw that in the dim moonlight, the Imperial soldiers began to divert rapidly, hiding in the rice fields, banana groves, and groves on both sides of the road, and completely disappeared on the road in three to five minutes.

The anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons on automobiles and armored vehicles, the sound of shaking bullet chains and loading shells resounded, and the troops soon entered a state of war, which made Yoshida Kazuho find some comfort, and then strode into a banana company.

In the event of an air attack, it is absolutely unsafe in an armored vehicle. Chief of Staff Ichiro Shimono and two telecommunications soldiers carrying radio stations also hurried to follow, and entered the banana grove surrounded by two rows of guards.

Five minutes later, the roar of airplanes could be heard faintly in the sky, and the sound was getting closer and closer in the silence of the night.

Soon, three black dots came rapidly from the north, and the outline of the plane was gradually visible, and Yoshida Kazuho's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Three reconnaissance planes rumbled over Yoshida Kazuho's head at a low altitude and went all the way south, gradually disappearing from his field of vision.

"Huh" Yoshida Ichiho breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously touched his face, only to find that his palms were full of sweat, just this kung fu, his whole body was drenched with sweat.

"I just said they couldn't find us?" The cheerful voice of the chief of staff, Ichiro Shimono, sounded, and then said that there was a voice that was re-released, who can not be nervous about this sudden situation?

Just when they thought that the danger had passed, and shouted and prepared to leave again, the roar of the plane came faintly again, this time from the south, and it was obvious that the reconnaissance plane that had just passed turned around, and soon reappeared in their field of vision.

"Woohoo!"

"Boom, boom!"

The three reconnaissance planes suddenly pulled away and dropped three aerial bombs down, and in the deafening explosion, the convoy was clearly visible in the firelight, and Yoshida Ichiho's face turned white with fright, his legs were weak, and his whole body fell directly to the ground.

What is strange is that the plane did not continue to drop bombs, as if it had not found anything, suddenly pulled high, and flew all the way north.

Until the plane completely disappeared from view, the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis suddenly sounded in the wilderness, this thrilling scene simply frightened all the Japanese troops, and the departure of the plane made them believe that the reconnaissance plane really did not find anything, after all, the distance in the air was too far, and their camouflage was also very well done, unless the reconnaissance plane searched purposefully, it was difficult to find them.

But the Japanese army never dreamed that the planes of the expeditionary force were really searching purposefully, they did everything they could, I am afraid they did not think about it, there were no plants on the road, how could a white ribbon appear under the night, and cars and deliberate camouflage, would make this white ribbon disappear completely, the reconnaissance plane was searching forward along this ribbon, the ribbon suddenly disappeared for a while, and it may be ignored at first, but after it appeared again in front, the pilot knew what was going on, no matter how stupid the pilot was, And the few aerial bombs just now were used by them to confirm the target, and it was by no means an accident that the Japanese army thought.

Just when the Japanese army thought that the danger had been lifted, and were happily on the road, getting into the car, and preparing to continue advancing, the roar that made them collapse came again, and this time the movement was particularly loud, almost the entire north side resounded, but anyone who had a little insight would know that it was a group of planes, and it was by no means as simple as three or five planes.

The panicked Japanese troops were diverted to both sides again, and this time they were a little panicked, and the scene was very chaotic.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was densely packed with locust-like planes swarming, and did not hesitate to fire, the dense machine guns and machine gun bullets in the sky poured down frantically, and in an instant, the cars on the highway were ignited with raging fire, and the explosions sounded one after another, and the Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery also began to counterattack, and the bullets rained down.

But the speed of the fighters was too fast, swept all the way, basically the ground anti-aircraft fire had to stop, and there were too many of them, at least one or two hundred of them were densely packed, as soon as they appeared, they began to diverge, attacking from all directions, the limited anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese army suddenly looked pale and powerless, and it was basically disabled in the first round of attack, but for more than ten minutes, the highway stretched for more than ten miles with raging fires and explosions.
