Objectively speaking, the defeat of the 55th Division is excusable.
For the time being, the 55th Division guards the road from the front line to Lashio, and the road from the front line to Lashio is also the road from Lashio to the front line, which is the route for transporting large quantities of military materials such as ammunition and food to the front line during wartime. You must know that the Chinese army fighting on the front line has more than 40,000 people in the Fifth Army alone, and the British army is unwilling to provide supplies, so the ammunition and supplies needed are astronomical, so the nearby roads have always been full of traffic, and the cars transporting strategic materials have never been broken.
However, the Chinese army is walking on the roads of Burma, and Burma is full of Burmese independence volunteers, who hide like rats in the jungle near the road, ready to sneak out and attack the convoys that pass by and loot supplies.
So this is what the 55th Division did before that...... That is, to protect the logistics supply lines from being attacked by the Burmese Independence Volunteers.
Obviously, in order to carry out this task, it is necessary to disperse the troops, otherwise how to deal with these guerrillas and how to protect such a long supply line.
Now, all of a sudden, the Japanese army is coming, and they are demanding that the 55th Division, which was originally protecting the supply lines against the guerrillas, can block the 56th Division of the Japanese Army...... Isn't that?
If you want to blame this, you can only blame Gan Lichu for not putting the temporary 55th Division at the forefront as cannon fodder, and if you are cannon fodder, don't hope that it can take the lead.
But I am afraid that only Chen Mianyue, the commander of the Provisional 55th Division, knows the grievances in this, and this kind of thing is also very realistic, defeat is defeat, there is no reason to talk about it, and what others will see will only be the result of the Temporary 55th Division being vulnerable in front of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army came faster than expected.
While the soldiers of the Engineer Regiment were still nervously constructing the fortifications, they heard several gunshots from the other direction of the corner of the road, and then the gunfire got closer and closer, and suddenly several cars turned out, and the gunshots became loud in an instant.
"Get ready for battle!" The Adversary gave orders.
Maybe it's a matter of the number of a battalion and a company, so the first thing to go on in every battle is Zhang Chi's company. This time, the company was arranged to take the lead on the 159 heights.
Zhang Chi was lying in the trench and looked at the intersection from the sniper scope, and the first thing he noticed was that the soldiers in the car were shooting indiscriminately in the back...... So without thinking about it, he reported: "Deputy company commander, it may be your own people who have retired!" ”
"It's your own people!" The adversary hurriedly ordered: "Don't shoot, let your own people go!" ”
"Your own people, let it go!"
……
One by one, the orders were passed down.
Sure enough, when the cars got closer and closer, everyone could see clearly that it was indeed a soldier of the national army wearing the same military uniform as himself...... Don't think about it, it must be the defeated troops of the 55th Division.
There were a total of five cars in this unit, and each car was crowded with people, and even there were people hanging on both sides of the roof of the cab, so it is conceivable that when they escaped, there must have been many people who tried their best to squeeze into this car, but the space on the car was so large, they could only bring these people back.
Because the positions built by the engineer regiment were camouflaged with weeds, or perhaps they only cared about the pursuers behind them and did not notice the overhead, they did not notice that a large number of soldiers were pointing guns at them on the high ground and letting them pass.
It is said that it was not until their cars drove into Tangji that they were startled by the sudden appearance of several tanks in front of them...... That scene was indeed scary enough, this is because there were no M3 and M4 tanks in the national army before, and the first reaction of these routs when they saw these tanks was that the devil's tanks had penetrated into front and stopped them. It's worth it, they're in a car, and it's packed with people, and a single shot from a tank can blow them all up into the sky!
The car stopped with a "whoosh", and most of the soldiers on the car were completely stunned and did not react, only a small part of them reflexively turned their guns to the tank, and a few of them even pulled the trigger and fired a bullet as soon as they were nervous, but fortunately no one was injured.
"What a name!" Wang Mazi, who was hiding in the trenches, yelled at the defeated soldiers: "You can flee, what kind of guns are you shooting?!" ”
At this time, the rout realized that it was their own people in front of them, and shouted: "Your own people, don't shoot, don't misunderstand!" ”
"What's it called!" Wang Mazi waved his hand at them a little angrily: "Get out of the way of Lao Tzu, don't get in the way of us fighting devils!" ”
"Yes!" Where did the routs dare to slacken, they hurriedly started the car again and drove straight back.
At this time, a car broke down and could not start, so the rout on the car had to jump out of the car and hide in the trench of the soldiers of the engineer regiment.
"Sir!" A major asked Wang Mazi curiously, "Which part are you from?" ”
It was no wonder that the major had such curiosity, he had never seen a unit in the national army equipped with such advanced tanks and armored vehicles, and there were ten of them each. What he didn't know was that hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles were scattered and hidden in the woods behind him!
"We are a regiment of 200 sappers!" Wang Mazi replied.
"What? Sapper...... Regimental? The Major was incredulous.
"No more nonsense!" Wang Mazi asked, "What's the situation?" How many devils are there? ”
"Uncountable!" The major replied: "The devil chasing us has a tank and a squad!" ”
As he spoke, the devil turned around the corner of the road, led by several side three-wheeled vehicles with plaster flags, followed by a Type 95 light tank and a cart of devils.
These devils are so arrogant that even the tank commander pokes his head out and looks out...... However, this does not seem surprising, because they know that they have to deal with the Chinese army, and the Chinese army is poorly equipped, and the Type 95 tanks in their hands can go sideways in this area.
After thinking about it, Wang Mazi asked the herald to signal the two highlands at the entrance of the village, and asked the two highlands to let these devils come over.
Of course, this decision was the right one, because these devils were nothing more than a squad plus a Type 95 tank...... This may have been enough at other times, and no one would dare to put the devil tank in it easily, but it is not worth mentioning to the current engineering regiment.
The heralds soon waved small flags and waved flags on the opposite high ground, and at the same time, ten tanks and armored vehicles were also ready for battle, just waiting for those rampaging devils to come up and die!
