Chapter 767: The Great Bombing
The attack speed of the Chinese troops was very fast, the firepower was very fierce, and it was night, and the devils could not establish an effective defensive line, so they could only be defeated.
By the time those devils reacted, two-thirds of the entire position had been occupied by Chinese troops, and the surviving soldiers of the two brigades were suppressed in a very small position.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
At this time, the attacking troops saw that the devils inside were so dense that they didn't want to use guns to solve them, they all used rockets, one rocket bombarded them, and they had to kill a lot, plus the continuous strafing of heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and the devils who were still hiding in the position couldn't stop them at all, so they continued to retreat, while the Chinese troops were pressing forward step by step.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Damn, our large-caliber artillery is gone, it's all blown up by Chinese tanks!" At this time, on the side of the devil's artillery position, Chinese tanks were still bombarding them.
And the large-caliber artillery on the position was almost blown up, and the artillery died a lot, but the devil's artillery still wanted to kill those tanks, but when they found that the large-caliber artillery was gone, they were all stunned, and they no longer had weapons that could stop the tanks.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Chinese tanks are still firing at the artillery positions of the devils, and now they are starting to blow up small-caliber artillery.
"Lean in, there aren't many devils left, kill them with heavy machine guns, quick!" The commander of the tank regiment also found that there were not many people on the devil's side, and immediately shouted.
And Cao Teng Yiyong, who was in the Meiliao defense line, saw that his troops were beaten like this, and knew that he was sad tonight, and he didn't know how big the casualties on the front line were now, but he knew that it must be indispensable.
"Send a telegram to the headquarters and the general headquarters, our troops have suffered huge casualties, the enemy has broken through our defensive line, several of our places have been surrounded by Chinese troops, and now the Chinese troops are besieging our troops, asking for tactical guidance!" Cao Teng Yiyong said very lonely.
He had no idea that his troops would not be able to stop an attack by Chinese troops.
Not only is this the case on his side, but also on Madeya's side, and the troops on Madeya's side are now surrounded and killed by Xiang Feng's troops, and after killing the devil's artillery unit, they will immediately use tank troops to continuously attack the devil's position.
The devils were killed in all sorts, and the commanders over there were also asking for help from the headquarters and the general headquarters, they didn't know how to command the war now, and in the face of China's armored forces, they were simply helpless, and defeat was only a matter of time.
"Baga, why is it so fast, they are still in Malai during the day today, and they are now raiding our 2 defense lines!" When Shojiro Iida saw the telegram in front of him, he said with great annoyance.
"Commander, Ruibao's side has also been attacked!" The staff officer next to him immediately reminded him.
"I know, don't you remind me." Shojiro Iida shouted at the staff officer.
"Order, the troops retreating from Ruibao, don't go to Madeya, immediately retreat to Mandalay, Madeya is about to be unable to hold on, damn it, order Madeya and Meixiao's troops, retreat, if they can retreat, all retreat to Mandalay, don't want the defense line over there!" Shojiro Iida said to the staff officers.
"Hey, but Commander, if we retreat, we Mandalay will be directly exposed in front of the enemy, so that we Mandalay will be in danger!" The chief of staff heard Shojiro Iida's words and reminded Shojiro Iida.
"Do you think how long Madeya and Meixiao can hold on now, wait until dawn, the Chinese bombers are coming again, how long can we hold on at that time, especially let the soldiers lose on the useless defense line, it is better to withdraw the troops, and we will have a decisive battle with Hu Bin's troops in Mandalay!" Shojiro Iida said as he looked at the chief of staff.
"Hey!" The chief of staff heard it, nodded and left.
"Baga, Hu Bin is really a big trouble for our empire, 700,000 troops, actually beaten like this by Hu Bin's 300,000 troops, defeated, defeated!" Iida Shojiro waited until the chief of staff was gone, then stood there and sighed.
Now he can fully understand Okamura Ningji's worries, and he can fully understand why Okamura Ningji has repeatedly emphasized that only by killing Hu Bin's troops can he attack China with confidence.
"Report, the order to retreat has been issued, and I think we can still retreat a lot of troops from the front!" After a while, the chief of staff came over and said to Shojiro Iida.
"Yo Xi!" Shojiro Iida nodded and said no more.
Now they did not expect to be like this in advance, they miss very much the days when there was an air force, if there was an air force, the Chinese troops would not dare to attack during the day, and if they attacked at night, they would be able to reclaim the lost positions during the day.
But now, without the support of the air force, they can only watch the positions being occupied by the Chinese troops, and then there is no way to watch the troops being compressed by Hu Bin's troops!
But on the Yangon side, Okamura Ninji also knew that Meiyu and Madeya had been attacked by China.
He has been sitting here for almost half an hour, because the Mandalay defense line is still commanded by Iida Shojiro, so the specific command situation, he does not need to interfere, for a long time, he sighed deeply, and the staff officers next to him all looked at him.
"I forgot, what Hu Bin is best at is night raids, damn it, if I could have thought of this earlier, we would have been able to be prepared!" Okamura Ninji spoke.
"Commander, I can't blame you, now that Hu Bin's troops are in the limelight, I just knew in advance that Hu Bin's troops would still come over to raid our positions, and we don't have anti-tank weapons on the front line at all, so we can't win!" said to comfort Okamura Ninji on the side.
"Have you made your plans?" Okamura asked.
"Hey, it's completely done, but, Commander, I have a suggestion, abandon Mandalay and hold Yangon, which is not the same as defending Mandalay, and we can rely on naval guns and aircraft to support Rangoon.
I think that Hu Bin's troops will not dare to attack our Yangon, and we need to leave enough troops, one is to attack Wei Lihuang's troops, and the other is to wait for Hu Bin's side to have a problem, so that we can quickly counterattack Hu Bin's troops.
If Mandalay's troops were to be eaten by Hu Bin like this, wouldn't it be better if we had more troops, although we would have no problem with our troops? The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji and said.
"Yo Xi, order our troops, tomorrow during the day, no, start withdrawing from Mandalay now, I think Hu Bin must not know, our troops are now retreating.
His troops have already been deployed, they can't chase us to fight, his bombers, bombing once, must be more than 4 hours apart, order Iida Shojiro to retreat, retreat immediately, Mandalay, I don't want it, give it to Hu Bin, I want Mandalay to be Hu Bin's burial place! Okamura Ninji heard it, nodded and said to the chief of staff.
"Hey, but there are still more than 200,000 troops in front, and we also have to make plans, and, commander, I think" The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji, thought for a while, and still didn't dare to say.
"If you have anything to say, it's all like this now, there's nothing you can't say!" Okamura Ninji glanced at the chief of staff and said.
"Hey, commander, I mean, the more than 200,000 troops in front of it, it is estimated that there will not be much to retreat back, the 200,000 troops of the Marais defense line cannot be successfully withdrawn, and the back line of defense cannot be retreated, I mean, let them hold in front and buy more time for the troops who retreat behind." The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji and said.
Okamura Ninji heard it and was silent, and the chief of staff was also silent, he knew that this decision was very difficult, because it involved the life and death of more than 200,000 troops, and if it was not done well, the whole army would be annihilated.
"Let them retreat, it is estimated that they will not survive much in the retreat, it depends on their luck, if the troops in Mandalay retreat, I estimate that most of the troops will be able to retreat tonight, and those supplies can't be returned, Yaga, the supplies on our side may not be enough, let Iida Shojiro transport as many supplies back as possible!" Okamura Ninji thought for a moment and said to the chief of staff.
"Hey!" The chief of staff nodded, and then left, while Okamura Ninji sighed deeply.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The Chinese troops used infantry and tanks to fight together, attacking their defense line again and again, they couldn't stop it at all, and they were beaten in the back There was no way, and finally they retreated before receiving the order from the headquarters.
If you don't retreat, you can't do it, and the Chinese troops are also chasing, slowly many of the devils in the positions are scattered and scattered, and the Chinese troops are not easy to chase, although the tank troops can catch up a lot, but the devils do not run in one direction, but scatter to run, because at night, the Chinese troops do not dare to chase too far, if it is daytime, they will definitely chase.
"Tamad, why did you still run away, did the tank unit chase after you? The infantry keep up, but don't chase too far! Ding Wanzhong knew that the devils on the defense line were running away, so he scolded.
He has been fighting with the devils for several years, and it is the first time he has encountered the devil troops who have abandoned their positions and fled.
"Report, several other positions that we did not attack, they also retreated, what to do now, the troops of the entire defense line, have retreated!" At this time, a staff officer ran over and said to Ding Wanzhong anxiously. (To be continued.) )
