As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall, although the Japanese soldiers are very secretive and the Japanese officers do everything possible to shelter the soldiers and block the news, there are still some "rumors" spread among the Burmese people.

These rumors soon spread to Myitkyina as refugees fled from the north to the south...... Most of these refugees are overseas Chinese, and overseas Chinese are different from the Burmese people, who will be deceived by the Japanese army, but overseas Chinese have long known the true face of the Japanese army from the crimes committed by the Japanese army in China.

Of course, it is precisely because they are overseas Chinese that Burmese people generally do not believe what they say, and Burmese people will take it for granted...... Overseas Chinese are also Chinese, and the Chinese army has helped the British fight against the Burmese, so what the overseas Chinese said must also be biased to help the Chinese!

If this was in the past, Unata might have thought the same way, but when he heard these "rumors" at this time, he naturally remembered the words of the "Living Buddha", so he was even more convinced and even admired the "Living Buddha's" discerning eyes.

At this time, Zhang Chi naturally didn't know this, and in order to avoid the believers, he flipped out of the window and fled to another street like a thief with the brim of his hat low.

After a while, the warriors followed, all with strange smiles on their faces.

"Company commander!" The extremely poor student joked: "I heard that the Burmese people regard you as a living Buddha, when will you let me be a living Buddha!" ”

"This living Buddha is what you want to be?" The rascal answered, "Go and shave your head first!" ”

"The company commander didn't shave his head, why can he become a mile?"

"The company commander has the ability! How about being a company commander! ”

……

The soldiers kept talking word by word, and Xiao Zhejiang even put his hands together and posed as a master, which only made the soldiers laugh.

"Have you had enough trouble?" Zhang Chi scolded angrily: "If you want to have the spirit to joke, just run five kilometers for me!" ”

"Don't, company commander...... We are envious! ”

Speaking of which, the warriors did not dare to speak again. But there was still a smile on their faces, and they couldn't wait to slap them a few times.

Suddenly, there were several cannon shots from the west, followed by a loud burst of gunfire, which made the soldier immediately put away his joke and looked in the direction from which the gunfire came.

"The devil is coming!" The Adversary said.

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded, the devil's movements seemed to be a little slower, and the engineer regiment had been tossing around here for a day before they arrived.

However, what Zhang Chi didn't know was. The vanguard of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army had actually arrived at Myitkyina in a few hours, but they did not dare to make a move.

The reason was that several Japanese plainclothes in Myitkyina had reported the situation in detail to the Japanese command through the radio, so the Japanese command knew that a Chinese unit had occupied Myitkyina one step ahead of them, and even knew that this Chinese unit had a large number of British tanks. The Japanese command quickly informed the Japanese 33rd Division, which was rushing to Myitkyina at full speed, so the vanguard of the 33rd Division did not rush to attack when it arrived...... They had to wait for the armored and artillery units to catch up, otherwise their attack on Myitkyina in the absence of anti-tank weapons would be tantamount to death.

"Is it the Chinese army again? Engineer Corps?! When Nobuo Ueda heard that his opponent had a large number of British tanks, the muscles in his face twitched.

In the Battle of the Ringanqiang Oilfield, the Chinese army almost wiped out several of his tank squadrons. Originally, he thought that the opponent he encountered was the main force of the Chinese 200th Division, but what made him unbelieving it was ...... Intelligence from plainclothes spying shows. That Chinese unit was actually an engineer regiment.

"Impossible! How could I have been defeated at the hands of the Engineer Corps?! Nobuo Ueda couldn't believe it, and at the same time felt greatly insulted.

However, after he heard that this engineer regiment had suffered heavy casualties in Tangji and Lashio to the 56th Division and the Airborne Wing, he was a little more balanced.

"I see!" Ueda Nobuo said to himself: "This should be a trick played by the Chinese to confuse the imperial army by calling an excellent main force an engineering regiment." Even the 56th Division and the Airborne Wing have become their defeated men, and it is not a shame that the Chariot Wing will be defeated under them! ”

But no matter how much Ueda tried to excuse his failure, he had to face a headache: his tank wing had to face the Chinese troops again, and the Type 95 and Type 97 tanks in his hands could not gnaw at the Sherman in the hands of the Chinese army.

Thinking about it, Nobuo Ueda felt that he had only one choice. That is, to lure out the tanks of the Chinese soldiers and let the artillery destroy them.

Ueda's plan was quickly approved by the division commander Sakurai Shozo. SO AT THIS TIME, THE JAPANESE TROOPS OUTSIDE THE CITY OF MYITKYINA CAN BE SAID TO HAVE MADE SUFFICIENT PREPARATIONS, AND IN THE FIRST WAVE OF ATTACK ALONE, THEY PREPARED AN INFANTRY BRIGADE, TWO TANK SQUADRONS AND AN ARTILLERY WING, AND EVEN URGENTLY TRANSFERRED FIVE 105MM CANNONS OF THE 92 TYPE IN THE ARTILLERY WING.

The plan of the Japanese army was to fire a few artillery shots to make the Chinese army mistakenly believe that the Japanese artillery was not enough, and then launch an attack on the Chinese army with a squadron of light tanks and a squadron of medium tanks with the cooperation of infantry.

Of course, the attack was just a decoy. The aim was to lure out the tanks of the Chinese army and then use artillery to get rid of them. Once the tank units of the Chinese army were routed, then the Japanese army would go straight into the hinterland of Myitkyina under the cover of tanks.

It should be said that it is a good plan.

The engineer regiment does not have much experience in using tanks, and it has taught the Japanese armored troops a hard lesson in the oil field area before, so it is inevitable that there will be a heart of underestimating the enemy. That's still the ...... The tank will fight again!

If this is really done, it will be a bad thing, not to mention the dozens of guns of various calibers of the Japanese artillery wing, and only those five Type 92 cannons will cause heavy losses to the tank units of the engineer regiment...... THE 92-TYPE 105MM CANNON HAS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF LONG RANGE, HIGH ACCURACY AND HIGH POWER, AND ITS FIRING RANGE HAS EVEN REACHED A PERVERTED 18 KILOMETERS, WHICH IS QUITE FAR EVEN IN MODERN ARTILLERY.

The Type 92 cannon is generally only equipped with elite divisions, and the Japanese army that can be called elite divisions on the battlefield in Burma is only 18 divisions and 56 divisions, and the 33rd division is not weak in combat effectiveness, but it is not yet elite.

It was armed with this kind of artillery because it was on the Western Front against the British army, and it was possible to run into British medium tanks.

But there is a saying that people are not as good as heaven, and the Japanese army was fully prepared, while the tanks of the engineer regiment were still in the city of Myitkyina. (To be continued.) )
