In the air, two Type 96 planes each selected their targets, dived down, and crashed into the tank with the landing gear almost to the ground. One of the planes failed to hit, pulled up and circled again. The other hit the tank directly.

Chief Chu realized that this was not the personal behavior of a certain pilot on the battlefield, but the latest tactic of the enemy's top brass, who had used kamikaze tactics against themselves in advance.

Brooke jumped into the tank and grabbed him by the clothes.

"Get out of here with the radio."

"What?"

"You're the commander, you can't stay here, it's too dangerous here."

As he spoke, there was a sudden sound in the air, and the hovering 96 warship once again randomly selected a target and pounced, this time flying towards Chu Tingchang's plane. Chu Tingchang shook off Brooke and turned his machine gun to shoot at the enemy plane, seeing that the enemy plane could not be stopped when it arrived, he pulled it up again and left again. Obviously, the Japanese pilot was still not ready to die, maybe he was thinking about his wife, maybe he was thinking about someone else, in short, at the moment of the battle between heaven and man, he chose to escape again, but the Japanese are Japanese after all, and the next time he comes down, it will be difficult to say.

The Japanese pilots shuttled and pulled up from the machine-gun bullets and fled again. He gasped for breath and unbuttoned under his flight cap, feeling like a complete coward. The infantry below launched another charge for an unknown number of times, while the enemy's hateful batteries blocked their way, devouring the lives of Imperial soldiers with their nets of fire.

"Yamada, bravely go and fight for the Empire, even if you die. Mother will be proud of you. ”

His ears rang with what his mother said when he left home. If you survive, how can you go back to see the present, and how will you see those comrades who have died when you die in the future?

At present, he is still a little hesitant, planning to continue circling in a circle. The Japanese infantry below can be seen frantically rushing out of the forest, desperately shuttling through the dense rain of explosions and bullets, and with each step forward, the infantry comes back at a high price.

The steel monsters, retracted and scattered more after being hit by the planes, but their terrible fangs still spread out, causing great damage to the infantry. He watched as the soldiers were consumed in one futile assault after another; He knew very well that there was the Qingdun River in front of him, and this battle was related to the future of the Imperial Holy War.

Oh, them!

He swooped down and swooped down towards a Grant.

In the midst of a huge explosion, the highest value of this cannon fodder in the war was realized, and he used his life to crash and destroy a tank with 7 members, and more importantly, now the last two enemy tanks on the ground that pose a threat to the infantry remain.

Chief Chu received an order from Lin Xiuxuan, asking him to evacuate immediately. He had already lost three tanks, he almost died in one attack, he also knew that it was only a matter of time before all the tanks were destroyed, and he had to leave, but he could not give the order to evacuate the entire tank crew, and this was a painful moment.

Brooke followed his tank closely and kept calling for him to evacuate. Commander Chu ordered the gunners to come up and guard the sky with machine guns, and at the same time took over the command, and then jumped out of the tank and got into the American jeep. After he got into the car, he couldn't help but glance back at the gunner. He nodded resolutely to Pavilion Chief Chu, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, without the slightest resentment at all. The new commander turned his head, thumped the turret armor, and motioned for the driver to move forward.

"Battalion commander, you are watching us kill the enemy from behind. Advance! ”

The tanks rumbled forward, facing hundreds of grinning Japanese troops rushing in front of them, * artillery exploded in the dense crowd of enemies, and the net of fire shrouded the enemy who tried to rush to the front, these Chinese soldiers had never fought a battle in such a superior position and without ammunition, and death was nothing to them.

Enemy planes in the air reappeared, and they came desperately again. Grant's slow start was not enough to maneuver enough to dodge the nimble Type 96s, and this time, two Zeros appeared in the air. These planes, in the usual position of loading fuel tanks, hung a *, which is already a very standard kamikaze tactic.

"Tao Mingzhang, recycle the troops and organize the second line of defense, and it's up to you next."

"Yes."

"Brooke, you go and contact Commander Nasong and ask his Kachin Company to find a way to go into the forest and attack the enemy's logistics."

"Okay, I know." Brooke agreed gloomily, he knew that Pavilion Chief Chu was making the final deployment, obviously even if this person had always been possessed by a god, but at this moment, he probably couldn't reverse the situation. It's strange that Brooke has been faintly hoping for the guy who pretends to be a ghost to look like a foreigner, but at this moment, he feels a lot of pain again. It would be great if Chu Tingchang could go on magically forever.

The Zero rushed down and tried to fire a round with a 20mm cannon, but with such a weapon with a low rate of fire and muzzle velocity, it was difficult to hurt the tank. So when they came down for the second time, they made a decisive impact.

The explosion of 250 kg* briefly blocked the shooting of both sides on the battlefield, and the tank turret could be seen to be thrown high by the air wave, and then fall, and when the smoke dissipated, there was nothing left of Chu Tingchang's car.

Then came the last explosion on the battlefield, and all five Grants were reimbursed on the battlefield. Lin Xiuxuan, who was hiding in a high place, realized that it was a matter of time before the defensive line was breached, and even if the tanks of the other two platoons of the airport were transferred, it would be useless.

Tokai Osa kept watching the whole battle with a telescope until tears clouded his vision.

He had the last one, reorganized with five broken squadrons, and could make a final charge, and if the attack failed, he would no doubt be unable to fight again, while the enemy would take advantage of the victory and rush into the forest, kill some 300 wounded, and then declare the sneak attack a failure.

He rushed in front of several temporary squadron leaders and drew his combat knife.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy tanks have all been wiped out, and now it's time for us to die for the Empire, all bayonets and forward."

In the end, 400 Japanese soldiers, under the cover of 30 machine guns, rushed out with a shout. This time, when they stepped over the corpses of their comrades, the fire was much weaker. Although the Kachin mountain soldiers in the rear had already sneaked into the jungle and were ready to sneak attack the seriously wounded in the field hospital, this surprise was not important, and the Japanese still rushed forward desperately.

Tao Mingzhang reported that the shells had run out, and the troops were ready for the last game, and the devils were desperate. Commander Chu gave the order to drag the cannon on the half-track car, ready to retreat at any time.

The two sides entered into a confrontational fire of light infantry, a battle in which the Japanese excelled, and they continued to compensate for the lack of automatic fire with grenadiers, and gradually established their superiority. At the same time, the Japanese troops in the rear repaired an infantry gun and began to play a role, which began to pose a threat to the machine-gun positions of the composite battalion. Lin Xiuxuan used drones to observe the battle situation, the entire defense line was exhausted, although the Japanese army was already at the end of the crossbow, but it had already controlled the rhythm, and the next charge, it would enter a white-knives battle, so that Chu Tingchang's capital would be exhausted. He asked Chu Aiyun to withdraw from the battle and not let those skilled warriors die in vain.

Here, Brooke kept asking Chief Chu Tingchang to evacuate, and the Americans had already seen that they couldn't hold on, and it was not a shame to be unable to fight and escape. So Chu Tingchang ordered the troops to retreat, and while there was still time to get on the car, get rid of the enemy. Tao Mingzhang, who commanded in front, left the battlefield with his hands on the ground, and the troops still marched mechanized and left the battlefield with a unique horse.

After abandoning 900 corpses in the morning, the Japanese finally broke out of the mountain pass and assaulted the edge of the Qintun River, and now they relied on the only infantry cannon to threaten the British road on the other side of the river, and after the British Navy fled from the Bay of Bengal, the logistics of the British army were basically maintained by this road to Imphal, which was considered to be a chokehold.

Of course, due to the heavy losses of troops, the original plan to cross the river by rubber boat was cancelled, but in Iida's opinion, it was enough, and he did not want to break the British from escaping.

In fact, why use an infantry cannon, even if it is just a needle, the false unity of the Allies will crumble at this moment, he is very sure of only one point.

There was chaos in the British command. Alexander found himself in danger again, and this time, unlike in Rangoon or Dunkirk, the enemy even ran behind him, something that had never befallen him, a retreating specialist. Now he can only count on Du Yuming's army to quickly come west to save his Western Front, maybe the 200th division of the Chinese army can expel the Japanese army back to the sea?

The US aerial reconnaissance report has shown that the Japanese fleet on the sea is actually much smaller than the previous report, with only one aircraft carrier and a few cruisers, and the rest are 1,000-ton destroyers. Moreover, the Japanese convoy of convoys sailing back and forth in the Bay of Bengal photographed by the US military reconnaissance planes is even more sparse, unlike a convoy that can transport a fairly large number of troops. But as a cautious person, what he fears most is not defeat, but cutting off the way back. Perhaps in the Chinese art of war, in that case, the army can burst out with stronger combat effectiveness, but in the military doctrine of the British Empire, there is no such illusory calligraphy.

He walked around the command headquarters with his hands behind his back. Lord Mountbatten sat on a sofa not far away, teacup, looking calm.

"Harold. I know what you're worried about, the Japanese are simply divine, completely contrary to military common sense attack. ”

"Yes, Japan is just a poor country with a poor army, its transport fleet is not enough to support such an offensive, and they may not have many troops ashore, at most in a day and night, the Chinese army will arrive, and maybe they can be driven back to the mountains."

"Chinese troops?" The lord put down the teacup and stood up with a shake of his head, "How many Chinese are there in western Burma?" ”

"There weren't many people at the 1935 census, but the Chinese ran a gemstone business here, and they were very happy. Later, because of the war, many Chinese refugees came here. and the refugees who fled from Yangon last month. I think they'll be a boost in addition, I've seen 200 divisions fighting, they should have enough strength......"

"No, no, no, I don't want to know the strength of that Chinese division, nor how many Japanese have come ashore in Sittwe, just as I don't care how strong Rommel's Afrika Korps is; All I know is that sooner or later the Germans will get out of Africa, and the Japanese will leave Burma in disgrace, but......," he paused in a vague way, "but Chinese will be a long-term threat to imperial rule in Burma, and perhaps the second threat will be the Americans." ”

"What?"

Marshal Alexander was taken aback, he did not expect the Lord to say such a thing, he was not only afraid of China, but also worried about the United States, which provided countless guns and loans so that Britain could maintain the war.

"General, don't you ever think about the post-war period?"
