The Japanese army finally came, but the battle situation seemed to have been beyond Zhao Zhi's expectations, intelligence showed that the Japanese army gathered 400,000 troops to carry out a strong attack on Burma this time, but only the Jewish First Army placed by Zhao Zhi in the Taungoo defense line and the Japanese army had a fierce battle, but the defenders of Ringanqiang and Taunggyi did not see any trace of the Japanese army. The Japanese gunboats near the coast fired only a few salvos, and the 5,000 British troops under William's command stationed in Rangoon abandoned the city and fled to the north, and a large area south of Donghu fell into the hands of the Japanese, but this is also what Zhao Zhi wanted to see.

Without the ship-colliding attack of the Burmese dead soldiers, the landing of the Japanese troops was relatively smooth, and the ship-colluding attack during the last landing left a shadow on the Japanese army, and the Japanese troops after the landing still retreated according to the tactics formulated in the morning, and walked for as many as three days from Yangon Port to Donghu on this section of the road, but unfortunately they did not encounter possible attacks or ambushes. The Donghu defense line was already impregnable under Zhao Zhi's management, and Zhao Zhi also stationed a Jewish army of 20,000 and 2,000 mercenaries here, and it was not so easy for the Japanese army to break through here.

Yamauchi Masafumi's 15th Division was the vanguard of this attack, and the entire 15th Division carried out an uninterrupted attack on the Toungoo Line, but unfortunately they all fell in the face of the fierce firepower of the Jewish First Army. The air was filled with a pungent smell of decay, buzzing flies and maggots crawling on the wounds of corpses, and the tenacious Jewish First Army had held the 15th Division in the Donghu defensive line for two whole days, and before receiving Zhao Zhi's retreat order, they had to hold it firmly and not let the Japanese advance a single step.

In order to break through the Donghu defense line, the 15th Wing of the 51st Division has been disabled, and the wing commander Kimimio Omoto has also died in the artillery bombardment of the other side, Yamauchi Masafumi does not know how many enemy troops are still on the opposite side, but the order from the rear is that the 15th Division must tear open the Donghu defense line and open a passage for the follow-up troops to go north. I don't know for what reason, the 400,000 troops gathered by the Japanese army this time did not enter Burma at the same time as last time, the 15th Division and the other 2 divisions were the first to enter Burma, and the large army seems to be still marching on the Thai-Burmese border.

Yamauchi Masafumi knew the strength of his division, but the defenders on the opposite side were not given in vain, especially the strong firepower of the other side was not something that the 15th division could withstand at all, and the bullets of those guys kept fighting as if they didn't want money. The 15th Field Artillery Wing of the 21st Division was bombarded by the large-caliber artillery on the opposite side as soon as it opened, and the 15th Division, which had no long-range strong firepower support, had to fill it with human lives, as long as it could break through the opponent's position and defensive line, Yamauchi Masafumi did not mind losing half of the soldiers.

"Machine gun preparation, Japanese monkeys are here again." The shouts of the observation posts sounded in the trenches, and the officers began to urge the soldiers nestled in the anti-artillery holes to take their positions, and the 15th Division's attack had not yet been fully launched, and the preparations for the First Army had been completed. "Fire, fire" With the commander's shout, the silent defense line suddenly burst into vitality, and countless bursts of gun flames spewed out bullets with a breath of death and shot at the Japanese troops a hundred meters away.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" None of the places where the Japanese troops were densely populated were given the intensive care of the Jewish artillery units, especially the Japanese machine-gun fire and their mortar squads. In the face of the Garand rifle of the First Jewish Army, the 38 rifle is more like a toy in the hands of a child, just like those senior Japanese veterans in the face of such a dense rain of bullets, they can only lie on the ground and shoot at it, otherwise as long as they raise their bodies slightly, they may be shot by the opponent's bullets.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" The Japanese attack was suppressed by the strong firepower of the First Army, and the Jewish snipers hidden in the formation began to take advantage of the chaos to harvest the lives of Japanese officers, but the distance was less than 300 meters, which was nothing to the snipers. The large number of deaths of officers and senior veterans caused the 15th Division's attack to riot again, and there were already soldiers retreating backwards, if it were not for the rear supervision team, I am afraid that the Japanese army's attack would have ended long ago.

"Inform the heavy artillery regiment behind to fight another round, I want to see if the Japanese are afraid of death." Looking at the Japanese attacking troops that were recaptured by the Japanese army's supervision team, Tang Lei, who commanded 2,000 mercenaries to cooperate with the First Army, smiled a little. That is, it is constrained by the terrain and natural conditions of the Donghu defensive line, otherwise Tang Lei would have pulled his Qingfeng troops up to carry out poison gas warfare against the Japanese army, after half a year of secret training, the current Qingfeng troops are no longer mercenary troops in the general sense, in the words of those foreign chemists, the Qingfeng troops should now be regarded as a basically qualified biochemical force.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The power of the German-style K18 heavy artillery was fully manifested at this time, and there were no Japanese troops who could stand within a radius of 30 meters from a single shot, and the Japanese troops within 10 meters died of direct death, and most of the Japanese troops outside 10 were injured by scattered shrapnel or injured by shock waves, and those Japanese soldiers who were affected would have the same symptoms, that is, they would be temporarily deaf. More than a dozen rising pillars of smoke made the 15th Division's attack assembly point look more like a region, and the appearance of the opponent's heavy artillery group made Yamauchi Masafumi have to suspend the attack, and in the face of such strong firepower, the 15th Division could not find a way to break through the defensive line.

"Snipers don't stop, try to kill and wound as many of their officers and technical units as possible, without officers and machine gunners who can command the battle or something, I see how this Japanese army will attack." The Japanese began to retreat according to the order, but Tang Lei did not seem to be satisfied with the development of the war situation. If we can't kill and injure the Japanese division on the opposite side, and wait for the follow-up troops of the Japanese army to arrive, what awaits the defenders of Donghu will be a more tragic battle, and if we play crowd tactics with the Japanese army, the Donghu defense line with only 22,000 people is really not the opponent of the Japanese army.

The mercenary snipers wearing camouflage nets turned out of the trenches to find their respective targets according to Tang Lei's orders, and in order to kill their targets better and more accurately, most of these mercenary snipers removed the silencers installed on the sniper rifles. With the silencer removed, mercenary snipers can easily hit targets up to 400 meters away, and a good sniper like Mada can hit targets up to 600 meters away. With the slightly dull sound of sniper rifles, some of the Japanese soldiers who retreated fell to the ground and died from time to time, and the Japanese officers who were killed by the snipers knew that there were sharpshooters shooting them, but the honor of the officers did not allow them to take off their military uniforms or take off the officers' markings.

"It's really a fucking group of fools, their lives are going to be gone, and they are still carrying a command knife like a baby, Lao Tzu won't beat you to anyone." found a Japanese officer hidden among the ordinary soldiers, the command knife on his waist had revealed his identity, the motor secretly took a sip, aimed at the Japanese officer and steadily pulled the trigger. "Bang" As the bullet case jumped out, the Japanese officer in the sniper scope slumped to the ground with his arms outstretched, and another gunshot rang out, and a Japanese grenadier who wanted to reach out and drag the officer also fell.

The dense gunfire on the battlefield has long stopped, and the slightly dull gunfire of the sniper rifle is particularly clear, after each shot, there will always be a figure falling in the retreating Japanese army, and the short retreat of a few hundred meters has become the death road of many Japanese officers. More than 300 mercenary snipers are the "real culprits" who caused a large number of officers to be killed in the 15th Division, looking at the attack troops who fled with their lives, Yamauchi Masafumi had an indescribable distress, especially when he heard that half of the officers of the 60th Wing were killed, Yamauchi Masafumi even gave birth to the thought of disembowelment.

"We can't attack so strongly, the opponent's firepower is too strong, and we who have lost the field artillery wing are not their opponents in terms of firepower, so let's wait for the follow-up divisions to catch up and make calculations." A decision by Yamauchi Masafumi stopped the 67th Wing, which had already completed the offensive assembly, and in the face of the opponent's strong firepower, Yamauchi Masafumi had no confidence at all. If his 67th Wing is inflicted a large number of casualties by the other side, then the 15th Division will have to withdraw from the attack on Burma due to heavy losses, which is something that Yamauchi Masafumi does not want to see, so he must now wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

"Damn, the little devil can't learn to be smart and send him to death, tell the brothers to take turns to rest and eat, and when it gets dark, Lao Tzu will take you to attack them." It was just after noon, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side stopped continuing to attack the Thunder defense line, which was somewhat abnormal. After discussing with the commander of the First Army, Tang Lei decided that the soldiers on the defense line would take turns to rest and eat, and as long as the Japanese troops on the opposite side did not attack in the afternoon, Tang Lei would take the mercenary troops to attack the Japanese army after dark.

"I said why are the little devils so honest, it turns out that they were scared by us, and they are waiting for their follow-up troops, so they should be harassed tonight, and they can't be let sleep soundly." After dinner, Tang Lei and his team received information from Yangon, and the Japanese troops stationed in Yangon began to assemble northward, one Japanese division went north from Yangon to Donghu, and the other also went north, but their direction was Taunggyi.

"Send a copy of the information to the headquarters and Taunggyi, tell the Taunggyi defenders to prepare for battle, casually ask the brothers to check the equipment, and we will set off for a night attack as soon as it gets dark." The mercenaries were all too familiar with night raids, especially the Japanese 15th Division on the opposite side was already exhausted after two days of failed attacks, and it was the best time to attack them at night.
