"Boom, boom!"

"Tom tom!" The devil's bombers bombed the British troops marching on the ground, and the British anti-aircraft guns deployed on both sides of the road also fired at the bombers in the sky.

"Damn, didn't you say that the Chinese troops were still on Indo's side? Why didn't the Japanese bombers go to bomb them and come over and bomb us? Slim lay on his stomach in a crater on the ground, looked at the plane in the sky, and cursed loudly.

He couldn't understand why the Japanese bombers didn't bomb the Chinese troops, but stared at his troops and didn't let go.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Help!"

"Help me!" Many British soldiers were bombed everywhere, and now all they can do is shout for help on the ground, such people are relatively lucky, and they can have the opportunity to make a sound, many British soldiers are not even full of corpses after being bombed!

There were also many British soldiers who could only hide in the ditches on both sides of the road, while some soldiers hid in the craters where the Japanese had just dropped aerial bombs, and now they had to find a way to hide on their own.

On the road, many of the British vehicles were blown up and burned, and although the anti-aircraft guns on the ground could threaten the Japanese bombers, they could not stop the Japanese bombers from dropping bombs on the roads below.

"Commander, it won't work like this, when we return to India, it is estimated that there will be few soldiers left!" A major general lay down beside Slim and said to him.

"Damn, what can we do now, if we don't go back, where can we go, we have to go back, go back and strengthen the defense over there." Slim shouted loudly.

He knew that this time the Japanese bombing. He had inflicted huge casualties on his troops, and he did not want to see such casualties, but he also knew that India must not be occupied by the Japanese, and now that the Japanese had occupied their British-controlled Australia, if it was also occupied. Then in this direction of Asia, Britain has no colonies.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The planes in the sky are still bombing, and the British troops on the ground can only shoot with anti-aircraft guns, and some fighters use heavy machine guns to shoot at the sky, and this has to wait for the bombers to descend, if they don't come down. They simply don't have a chance.

The Japanese planes bombed for about 10 minutes before evacuating, and in these 10 minutes, the Japanese lost about 5 bombers, but the effect was very large, the whole road, those vehicles were burning, and there were corpses of British troops everywhere on both sides of the road. They were all blown up.

"Damn it, quick. Hurry up and help the wounded, carry them into the forest, hurry! When Slim saw the British troops retreating, he crawled out and shouted loudly, and the uninjured British soldiers began to help.

"Commander. What should we do, Japanese planes will still come, and besides, just Japanese planes will come, we are not worried. But if the infantry on the ground comes, we will be in real trouble, and now our soldiers are so tired that they can't continue to force the march, let alone fight. A major general said to Slim.

"Damn, don't tell me this, treat the wounded now!" Slim shouted irritably.

Of course, he knew in his heart what the situation of his troops was now, but he had no other choice but to go back with his soldiers.

"Commander, if we continue like this, we won't be able to get to India at all, I dare to say, now the Japanese troops may have already set off, China has lied to us, they are not in Indo, they may have withdrawn!" The major general also shouted loudly.

Because the casualties of the troops are too large, from the 130,000 people at the beginning, there may not be more than 30,000 people who can be intact now, most of them are dead, and there are still 20,000 or 30,000 seriously wounded, and the other is that the cars are almost burned, and they don't know how to get those wounded back.

"Then what do you say, go back again? Or is it right here? Can we go back? Is it waiting to die if you stay here? Slim shouted at the major general, and when he had finished shouting, he left the major general alone and continued to walk forward, he wanted to see his troops.

"Damn it!" The major general cursed, as if they had no choice but to go back now.

"Report, the Air Force sent a report that the bomber has completed the bombing mission, and the bombing effect is very good!" A staff officer came to Okamura Ninji and reported.

"Yo Xi, order them to continue bombing, not only the British troops on the road, but also the forests on both sides of the road, but also bombing, now the British troops will not march for a short time, they will hide their troops in the woods.

Continuing the bombing mission, we cannot let the British troops go back to India, once they do, it will make it more difficult for us to attack India! Okamura Ninji heard the staff officer's words, nodded with great satisfaction, and commanded again.

He wanted the air force to continue bombing the British troops, if not to destroy them all, but to kill most of them.

"Come on, send a telegram to Shojiro Iida, asking him if he can transfer 10,000 men from the 18th Division and let them pursue the British troops, they are safe during the day, Hu Bin's troops dare not come out, if they march now, they may not be able to catch up with the British troops until night.

Let them attack the British troops, Hu Bin may not chase them, even if they chase them, it doesn't matter, as long as the British troops are killed, we will win, Hu Bin has no way to take us! Okamura Ninji sat there and thought for a moment and said.

He felt that the bombers might not be able to completely annihilate the British troops, and if there were ground troops to cooperate with the operation, the effect might be better, but thinking that Hu Bin's troops were in Banmao, if the troops were dispatched now, Hu Bin's troops would definitely know, but Okamura Ningji assessed it in his heart and felt that this risk was worth it.

First, Hu Bin did not dare to let his troops out to attack the troops of the 18th Division during the day, and second, if Hu Bin's troops attacked at night, then the troops of their 18th Division might already be fighting the British troops.

Although Hu Bin's troops have passed, and the troops of the 18th Division may have been wiped out, the British troops are estimated to be no better, and now his purpose is to kill the British troops and not let them go back.

Therefore, Okamura Ninji wanted to use about 10,000 Japanese troops in exchange for the total annihilation of the British troops, and it would be better if Hu Bin's troops could be brought out.

Soon, Shojiro Iida received a telegram from Okamura Ninji.

"What, go after the British, this!" Iida Shojiro was resting, but after being woken up by the staff officer, he looked at the telegram and was stunned.

"Commander, the 18th Division fought all night last night, and today it is going to march again during the day, and now it is necessary to mobilize them to chase the British troops, I think this will not work, their physical strength will not be able to bear it, and they were defeated last night, and morale will have a great impact!" The chief of staff looked at Shojiro Iida and said.

"Damn, I know, send a telegram to the headquarters, now that the 18th Division is exhausted, it is simply impossible to carry out such an order, and we simply have no other troops to send now!" Shojiro Iida opened his mouth and said, he meant to give up the order to carry out this battle.

"By the way, Commander, the troops of a brigade of the 25th Army have returned to Benqiang to rest, they have been resting in Benqiang for 2 days, and they can let the commander-in-chief order them over!" The chief of staff suddenly thought that there was a brigade of the 25th Army where the troops were resting in Benqiang, and immediately suggested to Iida Shojiro.

"Yo Xi, add a sentence, now the 25th Army has a brigade of troops in Benqiang, you can order them to go over." Shojiro Iida nodded and said.

"Hey!" The chief of staff nodded, while Shojiro Iida lay down and continued to rest.

After Okamura Ninji received a telegram from Shojiro Iida, he immediately sent a telegram to Yamashita Fumi, ordering the mobilization of Benqiang's troops to catch up with the British forces.

Yamashita received the order and immediately ordered the 56th Brigade of the 58th Division stationed in Benqiang to catch up with the troops fleeing in the direction of India.

The 56th Brigade under the 58th Division is mainly mechanized troops, with tanks, automobiles and a large number of motorized troops, and the 56th Division is also very good at fighting jungle warfare.

"Report, Commander Li, the telegram of the special regiment, the Japanese side has dispatched about a brigade of troops from Benqiang, and now it is marching in the northeast direction, the target may be Banmao, or it may be India's troops!" A staff officer of a special regiment stood up and said to Li Dalong.

"What, a brigade of troops was dispatched from the Japanese side? To Banmao? Li Dalong stood up in surprise, took the telegram, and read it carefully.

"Tamad, what does little Japan want to do? A brigade of troops, coming to Ban Mao's side, looking for death? Li Dalong didn't know what the devil meant, so he touched his head and said.

"Come on, go and call the commander up, just sleep in the headquarters, there are more things going on now!" Li Dalong didn't dare to judge easily, so he needed to call Hu Bin to get up, and after a while, Hu Bin walked into the headquarters in a daze and went to the recliner.

"Commander, look, Japan has dispatched a brigade of troops, and now it is marching to Banmao!" Li Dalong took the telegram to Hu Bin and said.

"What's the goal?" Hu Bin asked as he lay there with his eyes closed. (To be continued.) )
