Chapter 132: Victory

“FUCK!” Zhang Chi heard the scolding of the American tanker in the walkie-talkie.

"What's the situation?" Zhang Chi asked.

"We've hit the rubble!" The American tankman replied: "A building in front of us has collapsed, and we can't get by!" ”

"Report casualties!"

"Uh...... Five minor injuries! The tankman replied: "The condition of the tank...... Good! It's just that we're going to be rerouted! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, he unfolded the map and looked at it, and found that this location was flanked by streets on both sides, and there were Japanese strongholds defending not far ahead, and the diversion almost meant being exposed, and it was also exposed to enemy artillery attacks.

However, Zhang Chi looked at the map again, and the location at this time was not far from the Japanese headquarters, and he only needed to turn a corner and go forward for a few hundred meters, so Zhang Chi immediately ordered: "All of them, go along the street!" ”

"Down the street?" Hearing this, the American tanker couldn't help but be stunned, and the first picture that flashed into his mind was the tragic scene of Sherman being blown up by Japanese artillery.

"Major!" The American tanker couldn't help asking: "Do you want to consider this order?" We're all going to die! ”

"Execute the order and go full speed!" Zhang Chi responded coldly, leaving no room for anything.

So the American tankers had to step on the accelerator, turn a corner, and drive out onto the street.

Zhang Chi gambled that the Japanese army was not prepared, after all, this was already the depth of the Japanese army.

Sure enough, the Japanese troops in the eighth stronghold were still sitting on the shell boxes and wiping their guns, and their artillerymen even sat in a circle smoking and chatting, until the sound of "rumbling" motors came from the street.

When they saw that it turned out to be two American tanks, they couldn't help but be surprised and hurriedly loaded the artillery, but because the tanks were moving at full speed, when they loaded the shells, the tanks had already entered the blind spot of their shooting.

Then there were two "booms", and the tank guns fired...... The artillery on the Sherman tank was a 76-mm gun, and although its power was not as powerful as the Japanese 105-mm cannon, its power was still not to be underestimated. In particular, these two guns were hit on the windowsill, and in an instant, the broken bricks and cement flew inward like shrapnel, only to hit the artillerymen hiding inside with a scream, and the cannon became dumb.

As for the defense line built by the Japanese army with sandbags, it was not a problem, and before the defending Japanese troops could hurriedly set up their guns, the Sherman tank "rumbled" and drove up with a "rumbling" and instantly smashed the defense line.

However, there is a disadvantage of this kind of fighting, that is, the communication troops in the stronghold have time to call the command to call the police.

In the headquarters of the Japanese army, the communications corps reported to the staff officer in the mountains in a panic: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the Chinese army has broken through the defense line of the third brigade. Soon to the headquarters! ”

"What?" Hearing this, the staff officer couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter?" I didn't hear any reports of an attack by the Chinese army, and as soon as I did, it was in front of you? Could it be that the information is wrong......"

But before Yamano's words were finished, there was a faint rumble of tanks outside the window, and then a cannon sounded, and the headquarters was swept by a shock wave like a whirlwind cloud.

At this time, the staff officer of the mountain field was sure that it was not a false alarm, so he hurriedly ordered: "Retreat!" ”

But it was too late to retreat at this time, because a Sherman tank had already slammed in, knocking the chaotic Japanese troops in the command into a mess, and then a bullet flew by, and the documents, tables and chairs in the headquarters were thrown everywhere. Of course. Among them, Japanese officers of various ranks or communications corps were knocked to the ground.

But this was not the end, and soon after the tank, Chinese infantry with rifles flashed out, and they cautiously followed the tank, checking the dead Japanese corpses on the ground as they advanced. If you see that there are still some who are not out of breath, you will not hesitate to make up for it.

Staff Officer Yamano was one of them, and at the last moment he even raised his pistol with his bloody hand in an attempt to return fire, but was quickly kicked away by the Chinese soldier who caught up with him, and then shot him in the head...... This should be the Chinese soldier's ignorance. Or maybe he shot too fast, if he looked carefully at Yamano's rank, he knew that this was a lieutenant general. It was a great thing to be able to capture a lieutenant general, but it was a pity that Yamano, as a lieutenant general, died at the hands of a confused Chinese soldier.

Kawabe Shozo happened to be inspecting Nancheng at this time...... This is his luck, if he stays in the headquarters, he is afraid that he will end up like Yamano.

A communications soldier hurriedly ran to the side of the river and shouted, "Your Excellency...... Command, lost! ”

"What?" Hebian Zhengsan exclaimed: "Headquarters, how can you ......?"

"The situation is not clear!" The signal soldier replied: "But Lieutenant General Yamano and others may have died in the line of duty!" ”

This information couldn't help but make Kawabe Shozo dumbfounded, and the next second he quickly gritted his teeth and ordered: "Retreat!" ”

Shozo Riverside had to make this decision, because he knew very well that the reason why Yangon was able to hold on to the weak forces until now was entirely because the defense lines on the streets were supported, and now that the Chinese army had reached the headquarters, it meant that the defense line in Yangon would collapse from the inside.

What made Kawabe Shozo feel helpless was that because the command had already let the Chinese army end it in one go, Kawabe Shozo's orders could only be conveyed to a limited extent, so with Kawabe Shozo withdrawing the Japanese army only had one or two squads, and the rest of the Japanese troops still stayed in place without knowing what the situation was.

This allowed the Chinese army to receive many Japanese cannons and even defensive lines...... When the Japanese army retreated, it would blow up the cannon in time, and the Japanese army, which did not get the order to retreat, naturally did not prepare to blow up the cannon, and the Chinese army suddenly attacked from the rear, so it was wiped out by the Chinese army before it had time to react, and the cannon fell into the hands of the Chinese army.

As a result, after the gunfire passed, Rangoon's defense fell almost completely into the hands of the Chinese army, and all they had to do was replace some of the bombed cannons, and Rangoon's defense was organized.

This can also be said to be a kind of way to treat others in the way of others, and the current Chinese army is using the defensive tactics of the Japanese army to deal with the reinforcements of the Japanese army.

The news of the occupation of Yangon soon reached the Mandalay headquarters, which could not help but rejoice.

"Oh my God!" Stilwell said with an incredulous expression, "Unbelievable, they made it!" (To be continued.) )
