Three Type 96A 25mm single-mounted anti-aircraft cannons hidden in the building opened fire.
This machine gun has many operators, a small magazine capacity, slow loading speed, low firing speed, and low projectile muzzle velocity. Even the aiming device is crude and relies on an aiming ring. Whether it can hit the enemy aircraft depends entirely on faith.
Facing a Stuka that was diving at a speed of 550 kilometers per hour at a 90-degree angle, the slightly gasping sound of the Type 96 A anti-aircraft gun seemed particularly slow.
"Woooo..."
The Stuka, which had a pair of inverted gull-shaped wings, soared straight down from an altitude of three thousand meters. The black fuselage was particularly eye-catching in the dazzling sunlight. When it reached 2,000 meters, the Jericho horn started loading under the wings.
A shrill sound was made.
Seeing the Stuka start to dive, the three anti-aircraft guns on the ground opened fire without hesitation. However, its poor aiming device and low rate of fire made you want to jump off the building, but the projectiles it fired missed the aircraft.
Pass.
When the Stuka was 500 meters above the ground, the 500-kilogram barrel bomb under the belly broke away from the hook and fell rapidly toward the ground.
The bomb suddenly exploded more than eighty meters above the ground, and an orange-red fire rained down from the sky.
Beautiful "raindrops" as big as soybeans quickly spread out and fell towards the ground.
Although these fire rains are so beautiful, their temperature has reached a terrifying temperature of over 1,000 degrees Celsius. At such high temperatures, even steel plates can easily burn through.
Soon, there was a scream on the ground, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers covered in fire rushed out of the bunker.
Their mouths made the most miserable sounds imaginable by humans, and they were like a fire bull with a tail on fire and lost its sense of direction, rushing in any possible direction.
If there happens to be someone in the direction they are running, and the other person happens to be bumped into.
Sorry... there will soon be another person making the same pitiful scream.
But the tragic fate of the Japanese army did not end there. When the Stuka dive bomber that had dropped the white phosphorus bombs began to climb, more than a dozen Stuka dive bombers had already begun to take turns rushing down from high altitudes.
The explosion point of a bomb is the center and white phosphorus bombs are thrown around.
In less than a minute, the Japanese army's position was completely covered by a sea of fire.
The consequences of throwing white phosphorus bombs were also obvious. It interrupted the attacks launched by the new 22nd Division and the temporary 55th Division.
Thousands of soldiers from the expeditionary force, who were originally furious and ready to fight to the death, looked at the blazing flames in front of them.
Although they were not close to the Japanese positions, they could feel the heat rushing towards their faces even though they were four to five hundred meters away, and even their hair was a little frizzy.
"Sir, are we still charging?" a soldier asked the company commander on the side.
"The attack is nothing. If you want to go in and be roasted as a pig, go there by yourself. I won't accompany you!" The captain and company commander on the side glared at the soldier who was not very bright-minded.
"Everyone, just wait. We can't go in until the fire is over."
And the wait was more than an hour.
When all the fires were extinguished and the ground temperature dropped to a tolerable level, the soldiers carefully stepped into the Japanese position that had been burned by hellfire.
"Puff...Puff..."
As soon as they entered the Japanese position, the soldiers felt something was wrong.
This position gave them the feeling of entering another world.
Desolation...endless desolation...
This is what everyone feels, and the popping sound made from time to time is the sound made by the leather boots under the feet stepping on the ground.
All the buildings in sight were turned into empty frames, and everything that could be burned no longer existed.
But this is nothing. The corpses seen from time to time on the ground are the most terrifying thing.
For soldiers, dead people are the most common thing they see, and there is really nothing surprising about it. Whether it is broken limbs or corpses that have been blown into pieces, it is not surprising.
But the dead bodies on the ground are very different from those encountered in daily life. These corpses have all been burned into charred black mummies, and because all the fat and water in the corpses have been burned dry, the shape of the corpses has become extremely distorted.
, also extremely terrifying and miserable.
It is to the extent that most people will have nightmares when they see it at night.
"Crack!" A crisp sound suddenly sounded on the battlefield.
Since the battlefield was extremely quiet, the sudden sound seemed particularly abrupt.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out that a soldier had stepped on a corpse. The mummy, which had lost all its water content, was trampled into two pieces. At the same time, there was a choking sound.
The smell of corpses in my nose also permeated the surroundings.
"vomit……"
At this time, someone finally couldn't help it anymore, lowered his head and vomited out all the contents in his stomach, and the sound of vomiting came and went...
Soon, the vanguard troops who were the first to set foot on the Japanese position searched all the places. They were surprised to find that there was not a single living person in the entire position.
"What...all the Japanese soldiers in the town were burned to death?"
After receiving the news, Liao Yaoxiang and Chen Mianwu rushed to the position immediately. Looking at the charred mummies scattered all over the position, they looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Brother Jianchu, are we going to take over this town like this?" Chen Mianwu asked Liao Yaoxiang still in disbelief.
"It should be, right?" Liao Yaoxiang replied hesitantly.
This battle was fought too easily. This was the first time the two of them had encountered such a battle in their decades of military career.
They originally thought that it would take a hard battle to defeat and eliminate this stubborn Japanese army. Unexpectedly, they did not fire a single shot, and all these stubborn enemies were roasted into mummies by incendiary bombs.
"Sir, the vanguard has discovered a small group of Japanese troops fleeing along the southeast." A communications soldier suddenly reported.
Liao Yaoxiang thought for a while, then said to Chen Mianwu with an eager look in his eyes: "Brother, don't forget, our final mission is to open the passage to Tonggu as quickly as possible and meet up with the 200th Division.
Otherwise, even if we annihilate the 55th Division, once the 200th Division is gone, the blame will fall on us in the end."
"All right."
Chen Mianwu admitted that what Liao Yaoxiang said made sense and could only nod his head in agreement.
Finally, the two men reported the situation here to Gan Lichu, who was watching the battle from behind, while commanding the troops not to stop and immediately advance towards Tonggu at full speed.
According to estimates, it only takes them one day and one night to reach Tonggu, join the 200th Division, and surround and eat the 56th Division.
Once the 55th and 56th divisions can be completely annihilated, the Japanese rule in Myanmar will completely collapse.
