Chapter 996: Destroy the Heavy Artillery Brigade
Although more than a dozen planes were hit by ground forces, fell from the sky and crashed, this number is really too small, and compared to a fleet of one or two hundred aircraft, it can only be said that it is better than nothing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The fighter jets swept all the way over, dropped the aerial bombs under the wings, and the entire road was blazing with fire, which was very obvious, and the fighters began to turn around and sweep the faint woods and banana groves on both sides of the road, beating the Japanese troops hidden in them, leaving the middle channel out, and then the bombers began to appear, along the fire dragon on the ground, all the way to the bombing, almost accurately threw the aerial bombs on the road, and none of them were wasted.
The entire air raid lasted less than half an hour, and all the fighters and bombers flapped their wings and returned home, but this half an hour was simply equivalent to half a century for the ravaging Japanese army.
As soon as the plane left, the Japanese soldiers who were hiding began to come out of the hidden places on both sides of the road in twos and threes, stumbling and embarrassed, and they were dumbfounded when they looked at the scene in front of them.
Major General Yoshida Kazuho, commander of the Japanese Heavy Artillery Brigade, crawled out of the banana grove and waved his fist into the sky and roared like a beast, "Damn, that pig is so damnable!" ”
But no matter how angry he was and even cried bitterly, it was useless to deal with the situation in front of him, and the most important thing at the moment was how to minimize the losses, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to do their best to rescue and extinguish the fire, hoping that there would still be artillery to escape from the bombs.
The Japanese heavy artillery brigade has more than 7,000 troops, plus more than 3,000 infantry wings, the number has reached tens of thousands, although the air raid just now may have caused some casualties, but this number is not too large, after all, the focus of the aircraft is only on the heavy artillery on the road.
As soon as the order was given, the crowd began to pour on both sides of the road, picking up branches, taking off military uniforms to put out the fire, and even taking off the steel helmets on their heads, pouring water from the puddles on both sides of the road and splashing it on the fire, the scene began to be chaotic, but now no one cares about it, the responsibility for the destruction of the heavy artillery is too great, everyone is not lightly guilty, and everyone wants to minimize the loss.
Yoshida Kazuho hurried onto the road, circled around a vehicle that had been overturned by a bomb, carefully examined the cannon under the car, and then he became agitated and ordered the soldiers to quickly extinguish the fire so as not to cause a secondary explosion, because he found that the cannon under the car was almost intact.
He moved his little short legs, quickly checked a few more cannons, and was pleasantly surprised to find that as long as he was not directly hit by the aerial bomb, there was basically no major problem, which gave him a little comfort, and also made his guilt correspondingly lighter.
Just when the Japanese army was busy, suddenly, a hoarse exclamation of the Japanese army came from behind, "Helicopter, helicopter, helicopter, that man's helicopter." ”
"Defense, quick dripping defense!"
Amid the shouts of the Japanese soldiers, fragments began to sound gunshots.
The Japanese troops, who were focused on fighting the fire, did not hear the sound of the helicopter approaching, and by the time they found out, it was already too late, more than 200 helicopters came out from all directions, and began to fire cluster rockets and missiles from afar, and then machine guns and machine guns rang out, and the sound of gunfire, artillery, and explosions rang out in one piece, and the scene was very grand.
The Japanese army, which had just experienced a round of catastrophe and was still in shock, was once again abused to a pulp, and the helicopter low-altitude strike was more terrifying than the fighter plane, their firepower was concentrated, fierce and powerful, and the Japanese army, which had completely lost its air defense capability, was only abused, not to mention the 38 big cover, German-style MP40, and 100-style submachine guns in their hands, even light and heavy machine guns could not break through the heavy armor of the helicopter gunship, and in a hurry, the Japanese army did not have the time to set up light and heavy machine guns.
More than 200 helicopter gunships went all the way into a no-man's land, quickly abusing the Japanese army for more than ten miles, and the commander of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, Major General Yoshida Kazuho, was covered by a bundle of cluster rockets and was torn to pieces on the spot, which is also a good thing, he finally did not have to worry about not being able to explain to their emperor, and he would die a hundred.
The nightmare of the Japanese army did not end there, the wreak of armed helicopters has not stopped, more than 100 transport helicopters have arrived again, more than 1,000 airborne troops have descended from the helicopters, quickly formed two columns, and attacked and advanced along both sides of the road, the AK47 in their hands swept all the way out, harvesting the lives of the little devils who survived the catastrophe, and there are special people responsible for checking the cannons on the road, but whenever it is found that there is incomplete destruction, it is immediately a few C4 time bombs thrown into the barrel, and all the way to search to ensure that no cannon can escape.
Don't look at the Japanese army is tens of thousands of troops, after being ravaged by several rounds in a row, it can be considered shit luck if half of it can be left, and then there are snow wolf special forces and more than 1,000 airborne brigade soldiers swept over this way, the Japanese army can escape I'm afraid that only two or three percent, the courage of the snow wolf special combat team and the airborne brigade is still second, the most terrifying thing is these hundreds of helicopters, in the absence of anti-aircraft fire threat, almost invincible, thousands of troops and horses are in vain.
Half an hour later, the Expeditionary Force Lashio Temporary Headquarters.
Chief of Staff Wu Chaowen walked into Jiang Haoran's office with a spring breeze on his face, and began to shout at the door, "General seat, good news, Su Canwen and they completely destroyed the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, annihilated countless enemies, and won a complete victory. ”
Although the result was already in Jiang Haoran's expectation when the reconnaissance plane found the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, hearing the news still made him pat his hands and be happy, "Okay, I want to see how Nishimura Takuma still fights with Lao Tzu?" ”
"General seat, no matter how you say that the First Guards Division of the Japanese Army is also the elite division of the Japanese Army, there are many veterans in the troops, compared to the new 38th Division on the southern defense line of our army, more than half of them are recruits, and the pressure is still not small?"
"What's wrong with the recruits, those who can survive one or two battles are veterans, and this batch of recruits is really good, when Ruigu broke through the siege, I observed it, they dared to fight and rush, and they had a momentum of daring to meet the enemy and show their swords, such recruits can grow up quickly after tempering on the battlefield."
Wu Chaowen said: "The words are good, but in the end they are still recruits, when we fought Ruigu, we fought a tailwind war, with a bloody nature, they can still charge into battle, but if the next war becomes more and more cruel and more and more people die, no one can guarantee that they can survive, after all, their will to fight is incomparable with the veterans." ”
Jiang Haoran nodded in agreement, which is also the fundamental reason why he proposed to integrate the two divisions of the Qingyi Army into the new 38th Division and 28th Division.
Solve the Japanese army's heavy artillery brigade, but it does not mean that they will sit back and relax, the next should be a positional battle of equal strength, as for whether it can withstand the attack of the Japanese First Guards Division and the 16th Army, Jiang Haoran does not have full confidence, but he has full courage to face the next storm.
The next day, when the sky was bright, firewood began to burn again within a radius of dozens of miles in Lashio, and the billowing smoke rushed into the air, and Lashio was once again enveloped in thick smoke.
When the weather doesn't help, this is the best way to deal with the enemy's airdrop, the area within a radius of thirty miles is not small, you little devil has the ability to bomb indiscriminately?
Everyone knows that the island country is short of resources, although it now occupies most of the land in Southeast Asia, but because the situation in Myanmar has been unclear, all kinds of mineral exploitation are in a state of stagnation, the biggest benefit is probably that rubber and oil have been replenished, there is a large oil field in Ringanqiang, Myanmar, which began to be exploited in the thirteenth century, and the oil is abundant, which basically solves the problem of fuel shortage for the Japanese army.
But fuel alone is far from enough, the steel needed in the war is still their hard wound, since the war with Britain and Miri, the island country has lost the import channel of steel, with the expansion of the war, a variety of weapons that were not originally there have also come into being, consumption has increased dramatically, the island country's demand for steel has been beyond its means, so, the little devil is definitely not generous to the point of blind bombing.
Speaking of which, now they are not as generous as Jiang Haoran, all kinds of ammunition are sufficient, but unfortunately there are no planes, and the aid originally counted on by the United States is also far away, although the industry of the United States is strong, but at the same time to support the three major battlefields of China, Britain, and the Soviet Union, the urgency of the moment can be imagined.
At about 8 o'clock, the offensive of the Japanese ground forces began as scheduled, and it was still the main attack from the south, with the assistance from the northwest.
New 38th Division positions.
As soon as the ten-minute artillery attack stopped, the division commander Sun Liren appeared on the front-line position, commanded the soldiers to step up the construction of the fortifications destroyed by the heavy artillery, and ordered the artillery to quickly adjust the Zhuyuan.
The Japanese artillery fire is indeed not covered, in just ten minutes of artillery attack, the entire defense line has collapsed countless places, the wounded soldiers in the trenches are wailing, there are many people who lack arms and legs, and more are killed, there are two layers of corpses superimposed in the corridor, and there are constantly people being dug out from sandbags and logs, and the fortifications that have been repeatedly reinforced are also civil fortifications, and it is useless to encounter heavy artillery strikes.
The 10 minutes of bombardment just now were only the Japanese army's mountain artillery wing, and the Type 96 150-mm heavy cannon that appeared yesterday did not move, and perhaps last night's battle not only destroyed the enemy's heavy artillery, but also destroyed their logistics.
The smoke rose upward, but it had no effect on the soldiers in the trenches, and there was no obvious obstruction to the vision.
There was no heavy rain today, and the water level of the Nandu River dropped rapidly, and it was not clear whether the Japanese troops had begun to cross the river, but Sun Liren still ordered the artillery to open fire immediately.
"Boom, boom!"
Dense shells rained down into the Nandu River, setting off huge waves more than ten meters high, and blasting the Nandu River at the front of the river into a wall of water.
As the new 38th Division opened fire, the Japanese army's close-range suppressive firepower began to be unwilling to be lonely, and infantry artillery and mortars smashed on the positions of the new 38th Division with a roar, and then light and heavy machine guns also opened fire one after another, and the intention of suppression was very obvious.
