Chapter 127: The Battle of Bagu (6)
Gunfire and explosions were everywhere, and the air was filled with the heavy smell of blood and gunsmoke, and the feet were treading on the clumps of flesh that had been rolled out by the tracks of the tanks...... This made Zhang Chi feel like he was in purgatory.
But Zhang Chi didn't know that he was afraid or nervous, he only knew that he kept pulling the trigger and shooting a bullet towards the Japanese soldiers who were scattered and fled by the impact of the tank, Zhang Chi would also aim at the beginning, but as more and more Japanese troops were scattered, Zhang Chi was also like other soldiers, and he loaded a magazine and "bang-bang......" to finish the bullet in one breath, and then loaded a magazine and kept pulling the trigger, repeating this action over and over again, and the dozen magazines on his body were all quickly finished.
"Second Chain!" Zhang Chi shouted.
The second company quickly rushed up and replaced the first company that was walking in front.
The Chinese army has always been trained to cover each other and advance alternately, so the replacement went very smoothly, and even the firepower in front did not pause, and the two troops stepped forward and retreated one to complete the replacement.
As soon as the company retreated, it hurriedly replenished its ammunition from a half-track armored vehicle or a car loaded with ammunition, and then prepared to go to the battlefield again.
It was only at this time that the Japanese troops in the rear realized that something was wrong ahead...... If the Japanese 105 mixed brigade is a well-trained unit, then it should distance itself from the Chinese army at this time, or simply rush up to fight close combat and hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese army, if it really does, it is really difficult to say who will die in the end, because the Chinese army at this time still has no advantage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, at least it is certain that the Japanese army will not be as strange as it is now. In other words, if the Japanese troops of the 105th mixed brigade were a little timid, they would simply flee without causing too many casualties. However, this Japanese army did not meet the requirements of the regular army in terms of quality, and was not inferior to the regular army in terms of courage, so most of them chose to defend on the spot, and the most they did was to find a hiding place nearby and set up their rifles.
Actually, they don't blame them. You must know that they are a temporary patchwork unit of Shozo Riverside, and they have always been stationed in Rangoon in the past and have no experience in fighting the Chinese army at all, so of course they don't know that the equipment of the Chinese army has far exceeded that of the Japanese army, especially the Sherman tank...... The tanks were destroyed by the Japanese without the right equipment. And the Japanese even naively thought that they also had tanks in their hands, and with these tanks and the courage of the Imperial Army, they could withstand any enemy attack.
However, the reality is cruel, when the huge body of the Sherman tank appeared in front of these Japanese soldiers and easily crushed their tank, they knew what a real "tank" was.
But it was too late, because the real "tanks" were already raining bullets in front of and behind them, and the tank guns turned in their direction...... and with a "boom", everything was reduced to ashes after a burst of fire.
I don't know how many Japanese tanks were crushed. I don't know how many cars were overturned, the Japanese 105 mixed brigade finally collapsed, and the Japanese soldiers left their tanks, armored vehicles and cars and fled back like a tide...... The reason why these equipment were abandoned was not that the Japanese troops were in a hurry and could not drive them away, but that the Japanese tanks did not have a reverse gear, and they could only brake on one side of the track and advance on the other side when they turned around. As you can imagine, such a U-turn requires more space, which is not so wide on the road.
To make matters worse, several tanks did the same. So they quickly blocked the entire road, and as a result, even the cars and armored vehicles were blocked and could not move, but the Japanese troops on the side of the three wheels ran away without a trace.
At this time, the artillery of the Chinese army played a role under the guidance of the artillery liaison officer, with a whistling. Rows of shells fiercely chased the fleeing Japanese soldiers for a while, only to beat the Japanese soldiers who could no longer care about the spirit of bushido.
This was rare on the battlefield against the Japanese army, and even in the battle of Lingbang, the new 1st Division chased the Japanese 18th Division and did not have such a complete collapse. So the Chinese soldiers who were chasing the Japanese army behind them all shouted in their hearts: the fucking devil also has today, and there are times when we chase and beat them like ducks.
In the end, this battle directly disabled the Japanese army's 105 mixed brigade. More precisely, it should be gone...... Because the surviving soldiers of the 105th Regiment could no longer muster up the courage to return to the battlefield after fleeing back to Yangon.
In their words, it is: "The Chinese army is so terrible that we simply have no equipment to deal with them." Is it to go to the battlefield to send you to death? ”
So, wisely, they fled with their families in Yangon to the west bank of the Irrawaddy River.
This also caused chaos in Yangon, and the Burmese people knew that Yangon was likely to become a battlefield, so they moved out of the city to take refuge, which saved the new regiment that later attacked the city a lot of trouble.
Chasing the remnants of the Japanese army all the way, Zhang Chi's hands were a little soft, and later he was not even interested in pulling the trigger even when he saw the remnants of the Japanese army...... This is not Zhang Chi's soft-heartedness, in fact, at this time, he is already numb to killing, watching one enemy after another die in front of him, there is no disgusting, cruel and other thoughts before, now killing an enemy is not much different from swatting a mosquito to death for Zhang Chi.
This is perhaps a good thing, because the battlefield needs such fighters.
But perhaps not a good thing, because it means a deeper annihilation of human nature.
But who cares about that? This is the battlefield, where humanity is almost synonymous with danger.
Zhang Chi understands this, so he calmly accepts it and does not resist, after all, Zhang Chi still wants to live and survive on this battlefield.
The next day, when it was dark, the new group was killed under the city of Yangon, because they saw the Shwedagon Pagoda representing Yangon from afar.
The Burmese regarded the Shwedagon Pagoda as a sacred sanctuary for their souls, and the Japanese never dared to attack it, although they coveted the gold and beads on it...... Because the Japanese knew very well that if they attacked it, it would be almost a declaration of war on the whole of Burma, and then the last bit of their hypocritical mask would be torn off. They didn't want that to happen, so they didn't do anything to them even when the fighting was at its highest.
At this time, the US military reconnaissance plane also flew over Yangon, and Zhang Chi even heard the US military pilot on the reconnaissance plane shouting to them on the walkie-talkie: "Congratulations, Chinese friends, you have successfully hit Yangon!" You're good! ”
Zhang Chi smiled and replied, "Brother, when we drive the Japanese out of Yangon, you can congratulate us again!" ”
