Obviously, there were a lot of machine guns firing at this place in the distance.

"Baga! Retreat quickly!!!"

When the Japanese colonel saw that the people around him were constantly beaten to death, he immediately shouted in horror, turned his horse's head and hurriedly prepared to retreat to the distance and escape from the effective range of the Chinese team's machine gun.

Just after running dozens of meters away, the Japanese colonel suddenly felt a huge pain coming from his back. Several machine gun bullets hit the Japanese colonel. Soon, the Japanese colonel fell head-on.

In the end, the Japanese cavalry regiment successfully escaped only more than 100 people, and the remaining Japanese officers had the highest rank of only a Japanese master. The Japanese master looked at more than 100 remaining soldiers, feeling discouraged and in a trance.

*******

On a major highway to Lashio, a large group of Japanese soldiers were marching, which was also one of the Japanese troops to reinforce Lashio.

Two or thirty large trucks, loaded with Japanese devils, heading north along the highway, and behind the convoy, there were also Japanese devils following him. The Japanese devils had at least one unit.

The Japanese team was not far ahead, just a few kilometers away, and a large number of soldiers were already taking it seriously. The soldiers were two infantry regiments and built a large number of fortifications to cut off the road in half.

"Captain! The Japanese reinforcements are coming!"

"Prepare for the fight!!!"

A large number of soldiers were ready for battle. At this time, another soldier trotted over and said loudly: "Captain! Many Japanese soldiers who escaped from Lashio City are fleeing along this highway."

It seems that the Japanese were about to abandon the city and flee south, and their positions might be attacked from the back and forth, and the next one should be a fierce battle.

As several major armies of the Chinese team came to Lashio, almost forming an encirclement against Lashio, the Supreme Command of the Southeast Asian Japanese Army has issued an order ordering the Japanese army to abandon Lashio and break through to the southern city of Mandalay.

The two divisions that went north to reinforce became the Japanese army in Laxu to break through and retreat south. At this time, the Japanese army in Laxu were alternately covering and retreating from the city in batches.

The 28th Army will be the first to be hit, and the 28th Army will defend the area south of Laxu City. The 28th Army has more than 50,000 people to control the defense line of more than ten kilometers in the area south of Laxu City. Facing the tens of thousands of Japanese devils withdrawn from the Laxu City, they will also block the two Japanese field divisions that went north to reinforce.

The 28th Army had a heavy task. Although this was one of the main highways, the deployment of two infantry regiments was already the limit of the 28th Group.

"Regiment Commander! There are many Japanese troops, at least one field infantry regiment."

A corps came in one breath. It seems that there are more Japanese troops behind it. This corps must be just one of its vanguards.

Soon, the Japanese army came up and defended the two infantry regiments in this area were the first and second regiments of the Third Infantry Division of the 28th Army. This area was one of the defense areas of the Third Infantry Division.

The Japanese reinforcements came up on a large scale. While reporting the situation to their division headquarters, the two regiments ordered the soldiers to block the Japanese army.

Two infantry regiments, the first infantry regiment defends several hills on the left side of the highway. The second infantry regiment defends on the right side of the hill. The two infantry regiments form horns, divide the work and cooperate to cover each other.

Soon, the battle began.

Obviously, the Japanese army received the order to go north quickly. At the beginning of the battle, the Japanese launched a large-scale attack. The fierce battle between the two sides almost reached an hour. After the Japanese were killed and injured thousands, they slowly retreated.

However, the Japanese did not give up. It seems that the Japanese were preparing to organize a larger-scale attack.

"Captain! Look, the Japanese are getting a lot of tanks ready to come."

After the Japanese failed in their first attack, the Japanese's subsequent reinforcements also caught up. There were also a large number of Japanese soldiers coming up behind, and they were equipped with more than a dozen tanks and a number of armored vehicles. Obviously, next, the Japanese were ready to use the guidance of these tanks to launch an attack on the soldiers.

Seeing the Japanese tank coming up, the first regiment commander was a little worried. The soldiers consumed quite a bit of ammunition just now, and now the soldiers are still trying to press bullets on their magazines. In addition, the first regiment commander was an old man who participated in the Wuhan Battle and had a shadow on the Japanese tanks.

Back then, in the battle of Wuhan, facing Japanese tanks, usually after a large number of casualties, a suicide squad was organized and the ** bag could only be used to deal with a Japanese tank.

This time, I don’t know if my bazooka can destroy these tanks. The 28th Army was also the first time to fight the Japanese after being adapted and replaced. The first regiment commander was unsure. Although he knew that the bazooka was powerful, he was still a little worried.

However, this time, there is no need to use the bazooka.

The 28th Army Command knew that the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments of the Third Infantry Division were blocking a large number of Japanese troops, and decisively ordered the Tank Regiment and Mechanized Infantry Division of the Third Infantry Division to attack. The Tank Regiment and Mechanical Infantry Regiment went south to defeat the reinforcements from the Japanese to the north.

At this time, a large number of Japanese devils, led by more than a dozen Japanese devils, launched a large-scale re-attack.

Looking at the large number of Japanese devils in the distance, with more people than their own infantry regiments, the two regiment commanders were secretly worried that another fierce battle would come.

"Captain! Our reinforcements are coming soon."

A correspondent soldier ran over happily, shouted loudly with a telegram.

"Okay! The division commander made a big move this time, sending all the tank regiment and the mechanical infantry regiment."

The soldiers knew that the tank regiment and the mechanical infantry regiment were the treasures of the division commander. It was no wonder that the 28th Army had so many tanks and armored vehicles before, an infantry division equipped with a tank regiment and a mechanical infantry regiment. I never dared to think about it before.

This time, the Third Infantry Division defended this area. The Third Division Commander sent all his six infantry regiments and entered the designated position to block the Japanese. However, the tank regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness and the mechanized infantry regiment were placed in the reserve team.

The defense area of ​​the Third Infantry Division is less than ten kilometers away from Lashio City. The terrain of this area is relatively flat, with only a few small hills. Most of the places are either gentle slopes or plains, which are very suitable for the development of mechanized troops.

Not long after, the Japanese's charge had just begun. The Japanese had just entered the range of the soldiers, and the tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment came.

Whether it is a Type 39 tank, Type 39 armored personnel carrier, wheeled combat vehicles or off-road vehicles, they all have outstanding off-road capabilities, and they are like walking on flat ground in this area.

A large number of chariots did not follow the road, but were all over the mountains and fields. They came here in a vast way, with a majestic momentum and very spectacular.

"Haha! Our chariot troops are here."

Many commanders laughed happily when they saw so many chariots coming. Just now, when everyone saw the Japanese attack on a large scale, they were still worried. Now that they were ready, everyone felt relieved.

The Japanese who charged were already full of confidence and felt that they would definitely be able to break through the position of the team opposite with the chariots. However, as the situation turned sharply, so many chariots suddenly appeared.

"Baga! The armored cluster of the Chinese team!"

Seeing such a right chariot, many Japanese officers screamed in horror. The Japanese have long experienced the power of Chinese chariots. This time, such a chariot suddenly appeared, and it would be strange if the Japanese were not scared to death.

The Japanese infantry who were following behind his tank charged, and saw a large number of chariots appearing in the distance, and their faces turned a little pale. Without waiting for the orders from above, they stopped charging. Some Japanese even prepared to give up the charge and retreat.

The chariot troops of the Third Infantry Division came very quickly. In just a few minutes, they caught fire with the Japanese charging troops. Many tanks began to fire at the Japanese team, armored vehicles, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and 30mm cannons on off-road vehicles.

The Japanese's more than a dozen tanks were the first to be hit and were quickly destroyed by the Type 39 tank. Even the Japanese's infantry suffered a lot of casualties.

Infantry Regiment 1 and 2 Infantry Regiment 2, a large number of soldiers rushed down their positions under the leadership of their regiment commanders, followed behind these chariots, and launched a counterattack against the Japanese.

Suddenly, the Japanese were defeated and suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers kept pursuing the Japanese for three or four kilometers and annihilated thousands of enemies. Finally, in order to hold on to their positions, the soldiers returned to their positions with unsatisfactory satisfaction.

The soldiers had just returned to their positions, and a large number of Japanese soldiers who escaped from Lashio also reached here. It was less than 10 kilometers away from Lashio's urban area. It took less than a long time for the Japanese soldiers to escape here.

Soon, the soldiers exchanged fire with these fleeing Japanese devils. The fleeing Japanese devils had low combat power and had almost no fighting will. They were about to collapse. This group of Japanese devils had at least three or four thousand. More than a thousand people were killed by the soldiers. The rest were captured.

The 1st, 2nd, 13th and 15th teams in total were four major troops. They attacked the city before noon and started street fighting with the Japanese.

However, the Japanese had already received the order to give up Lashio. The Japanese fought and retreated. The soldiers controlled the entire Lashio in the afternoon. The 50,000 or 60,000 Japanese soldiers who retreated from Lashio were also retreating south because they were defeated.

The 28th Army tightened its pockets in the south. Even if these 50,000 Japanese soldiers had two divisions to support them, they could not break through the defense line of the 28th Army.

In the evening, the remaining armies rushed over one after another. Faced with the well-equipped and large numbers of Chinese troops, the 50,000 Japanese soldiers did not resist for long. After more than 20,000 were wiped out, the remaining more than 30,000 were captured one after another.

The two Japanese divisions that went north to reinforce and support were also wiped out many times. Seeing that their Lashio defenders were almost completely destroyed, the Japanese stopped supporting and support from north to north and retreated south in a panic.
