Zhu Ziming and Chennault looked at each other and said, "Say."
"Headquarters orders that the volunteer aviation brigade set off immediately to Yangon to assist in defense!"
Here's the news from Chennault's side.
After a while, soldiers also ran over and said, "Report to the regiment! The division commander ordered the 2nd Aviation Regiment to set off immediately with the Volunteer Aviation Group to head to Yangon to assist in the defense!"
"Hahaha." Chennault laughed, "That's what I had in mind!"
Zhu Ziming also smiled, "Together?"
"go together!"
It takes about 3-4 hours to fly from Wujiaba to Yangon. Therefore, by the time Zhu Ziming and others arrived in Yangon, the Japanese plane had already returned. So at this time, their target was the Japanese.
…
In Yangon, the Japanese offensive has begun.
Since the Fifth Army had built positions on all sides of Yangon, the British army was eager for the Chinese to come forward and fight the Japanese army, so they built positions behind the Fifth Army.
"Bah! Those British people are nothing!" A soldier spat and said bitterly. Originally, when they came here, there should be supplies from the British handed over to them, but in the past two days, there has been nothing at all.
After sending it down, the soldiers’ eyes were sharp!
"They can't wait to do it with us at the front!" Another soldier looked at the British soldiers behind them and said, "People say that foreign countries are better than foreign countries. How can such a group of people be trained in foreign countries?"
"coward!"
"Coward!"
The soldiers of the expeditionary force looked down upon the British soldiers hiding behind them. The British soldiers also looked down on the soldiers of the expeditionary force standing in front of them.
"Haha, look, two groups of yellow-skinned monkeys are fighting!" A white-skinned British soldier laughed. To them, they had been defeated by the Japanese army!
During the Battle of the Sitang River, the remaining troops of the British 17th Division fought their way to the east bank of the Sitang River, only to find that they were facing a body of rolling water. With no way to retreat, the two brigades jumped directly into the raging river, including those who
The Gurkhas who could not swim and those who did not have the guts to fight in the turbid currents had to surrender, taking as many as 1,100 prisoners (including 120 British). Of the more than 8,500 people who participated in the battle, only 3,300 finally managed to cross the Tin River.
Tang He and Churchill both lamented: "This is a huge disaster."
"Hey, it would be great if the Chinese could defeat those Japanese!" Another soldier smiled, "It can be considered as revenge for us!"
"good!"
Although the British soldiers were also lying in the trenches, they were not too serious in their hearts. Instead, they were laughing and joking, because there were soldiers from the expeditionary force in front of them.
Dai Anlan looked at the British soldiers behind him and was so angry that he wanted to jump on them, especially because he could understand what these people were saying! He had negotiated with the British commander, but the British commander said
, since it is assisting defense, then we will follow you. We suffered heavy losses in the past few days. It is not that we do not defend, since it is a position, there is always depth, and we will defend the deep position.
Listening to the gunshots and the laughter of the British soldiers behind him, Dai Anlan didn't look good, but he knew that he couldn't jump at this group of people, otherwise he would get into another diplomatic incident between the two countries.
"Master, the Japanese have at least one and a half divisions of troops."
"One and a half?"
"Um!"
After Du Yuming left, Dai Anlan took over the command of the front line.
"Tell my brothers, the devils are ahead. Even if you die, don't let the devils take another position! The evil the devils have done in our country! We will get it back here!"
"yes!"
The Japanese aircraft bombing continued. At the same time, Japanese mountain artillery had also begun firing on the ground, and Japanese soldiers began to attack the national army positions. Originally, after the heavy weapons of the 33rd Division were blown up on the Xitang River Bridge,
They could not be transported over. As a result, the local Burmese residents helped them build a raft bridge. It was simple and practical, and the Japanese army's mountain artillery and rapid-fire artillery were successfully transported across the river. The very dramatic bridge section, in the eyes of the Burmese, was a Japanese
Talents are here to liberate them! It turns out that the British are just a bunch of bastards who eat people without spitting out their bones!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the artillery positions have begun to attack the Chinese!"
"Yo Xi! The empire's battle in Southeast Asia is going smoothly! To be honest, the help of the locals is really indispensable!"
"Hey! Our imperial army is here to liberate them!"
"Haha! How is the layout in Yangon City?"
"Hi, it's already set up!"
"Yo Xi! Then, before long, Yangon will be a dock city of our Japanese Empire! The supplies inside, hahaha, are enough for the imperial army to use for a long time! Especially, the oil from the oil company!"
"Hey! There's already a large team heading over there!"
"Yo Xi! I heard that the oil tanks over there store a lot of oil!"
"Hi! Preliminary estimate is at least 100 million gallons!"
"Hahaha! When Yangon is captured, those trucks, oil, and American aid materials will all belong to our imperial army!"
"Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise!"
"Tell the warriors that the material reserves ahead are huge! Once we capture Yangon, we can have a delicious meal! Let's have a night of fun!"
"Hi!"
In fact, the Japanese army is not good at jungle warfare. However, the Japanese army has a firm mind and a tenacious fighting will, and they have adapted to it. In addition, wherever they go, in addition to the British and American troops, the local people still welcome them. This
They have never felt it in other places.
…
The attack began, and shells continued to fall.
Dai Anlan frowned. Previously, Zhou Weiguo sent a batch of equipment to the 200th Division, and then Du Yuming bought a batch of equipment from Zhou Weiguo. It can be said that in terms of heavy firepower, it is still sufficient for the time being.
"Order, after the artillery regiment calibrates the Japanese artillery positions, try to kill them as much as possible. However, you must also pay attention to air defense! The Japanese planes are not so easy to talk to!"
"yes!"
On the battlefield, the smoke is rising. The sound of bombing is endless. Soldiers are dying every minute.
For a time, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
To be honest, defending Yangon is equivalent to defending the Burma Highway. This is the main goal of the expeditionary force. It is the same for the expeditionary force whether there are British or not. They have resisted the Japanese for so long, what?
Have you ever seen any assistance from the British army?
In the headquarters, Dai Anlan looked at the map and kept summarizing the information of the soldiers. He needed to know how the Japanese soldiers were distributed outside. As a commander, on the battlefield, he did not necessarily have to go to the front line, but to find the soldiers.
Find the enemy's weaknesses and lead the soldiers to victory.
"Master, it seems that the Japs' troops are still increasing." The Gaoji man came over and looked at Dai Anlan.
"How much? How to increase it?" Dai Anlan was confused.
"It's not clear yet, but we can vaguely see some. The Japanese are constantly delivering supplies from behind."
Dai Anlan frowned, if the Japanese army had reinforcements but they didn't, then they would have a very difficult time fighting.
