The British 25-pounder field gun has a caliber of 88mm, which is larger than the Japanese 75mm field gun.

However, due to the gun mount, the range of the British 25-pounder field gun was not as good as that of the Japanese 75mm field gun.

"25-pound field artillery group!?" Matsui Hideharu's face changed drastically. "Baga Yalu, is it the damn British who have returned to Burma again? No, it's impossible. The British have already been killed by the big gun."

The troops were so intimidated that they dared not come back to Myanmar even if they were too brave to do so. The China Army, this must be the China Army from the Hukang Valley!"

Just as he finished speaking, Takeuchi Renzan, the deputy commander of the 113th Infantry Regiment, strode in with a saber in his hand. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Your Excellency, Colonel, the airport was attacked by the Chinese Army. The firepower of the Chinese Army was very fast and fierce. The strength of the troops

At least two regiments, Captain Tachihara requests the regiment headquarters to send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

"Sure enough, it is the China Army!" Matsui Hideharu immediately ordered, "Order the artillery squadron and the search squadron to immediately counterattack and destroy the 25-pound field artillery group of the China Army. The 1st Infantry Brigade and 2nd Infantry Brigade immediately entered the defenses to prepare for China.

Army's attack, the 3rd Infantry Brigade immediately left the city and quickly reinforced the airport!"

"Hai." The ordering soldier lowered his head suddenly and immediately took the order and left.

The Japanese artillery in Myitkyina quickly began to counterattack, and soon the three infantry brigades also completed their assembly. Two of the brigades quickly entered the fortifications built along the street, and the other brigades quickly rushed to the airport to assist. However, as soon as they left the city, the infantry brigade

Was ambushed by the guard battalion of the New 38th Division.

There is a river to the east of Myitkyina City, and there is a wooden bridge on the river.

If the Japanese army leaves the city to support the airport, this bridge is the only way to go. Wang Fusheng, commander of the new 38th Division Guard Battalion, is from the same hometown as Sun Liren. They graduated from the ninth phase of Huangpu. After inspecting the terrain at the bridgehead, they immediately deployed six columns to support the British army.

The Lun-type Mark 1 heavy machine guns were deployed at three commanding heights on the east side of the bridge, and the entire position was in the shape of an inverted triangle.

Myanmar has a tropical rainforest terrain with dense jungles and many broad-leaved plants.

In such terrain, as long as there is no direct encounter, it is difficult to detect the existence of the other party, even if they are only three to five meters apart.

Because time was too tight, the two three-wheeled motorcycles serving as the Japanese search team only conducted a symbolic fire reconnaissance of the banana trees on both sides of the road. The officers and soldiers of the new 38th Division's guard battalion were not moved at all. When the main force of the Japanese 3rd Battalion

More than 500 people entered the ambush circle, and six Bren Mark 1 heavy machine guns suddenly opened fire violently!

At the same time, more than twenty Brown light machine guns and nearly a hundred Sten submachine guns also opened fire violently at the same time!

The light firepower intensity of the guard battalion of the New 38th Division is far greater than that of the Japanese army. This has to start with the Battle of Ren'anqiang, because the New 38th Division rescued more than 7,000 besieged British troops in Ren'anqiang, which greatly won the British

Therefore, before the British troops withdrew to India, they gave a small number of 25-pound field guns and a large number of machine guns and submachine guns to the new 38th Division.

Six heavy machine guns, more than 20 light machine guns, and nearly a hundred submachine guns intertwined into a dense crossfire. More than 500 Japanese soldiers who stepped into the death trap could not find a hiding place. In less than five minutes,

Within that time, the Japanese troops leaving the city to reinforce the airport left behind more than 300 corpses, and less than 200 people returned to the city.

Seeing the Japanese troops fleeing hastily back to the city, the guard battalion commander Wang Fusheng stood up from the banana forest. He first blew the smoke from the muzzle of the Browning pistol in his hand, then turned back to the adjutant and said: "Immediately

Send a report to the division headquarters that our battalion won the first battle and severely damaged the Japanese invaders who came out of the city for reinforcements, killing more than 300 of the enemy!"

Myitkyina city effect, new 38th Division headquarters.

Chief of Staff Xing hurriedly walked into the temporary headquarters and said to Sun Liren: "Master, the guard battalion won the first battle. They severely damaged the Japanese invaders who came out of the city for reinforcements and killed more than 300 enemies!"

"Okay, well done!" Sun Liren couldn't help but waved his fist fiercely.

Just as he finished speaking, another communications staff officer walked in and reported excitedly: "Master, the 112th Regiment has successfully captured the Myitkyina Airport, killing more than 200 Japanese and Burmese puppet troops, and capturing more than 500 people. In addition, the airport
Chapter completed!
