"Woo..."
Xiao Lin groaned in pain, and the remnant power of the shells seemed to still echo in his mind. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. The surrounding area was covered with charred soil blasted by artillery shells, and mangled corpses lay scattered on the ground.
There is no longer a living person to be seen in this trench. Even the sergeant who just took him to escape is no longer human. There is only half a corpse with wide eyes left, driving him quietly, as if telling a story. The unwillingness in my heart.
"Ah...it hurts..."
Ignoring the horror in his heart, Xiao Lin struggled to get up, but was surprised to find that his legs had been twisted to a terrifying angle, and the heartbreaking pain almost overwhelmed his consciousness again.
Driven by the desire to survive, Xiao Lin moved his body with difficulty. Even if he was crawling like a dog, he had to crawl into the entrance of the bunker dozens of meters away. However, the injury on his leg affected his nerves, and he had not moved even two steps. The pain was unbearable.
"Ah! Live... you must live!"
The surroundings were filled with the sounds of gunfire, but Xiao Lin turned a deaf ear and kept shouting in his heart. The desire to live at this moment was so strong that he gritted his teeth and dug his fingers deep into the soil, dragging his injured leg bit by bit. Move forward.
After exerting all his strength, he finally climbed to the entrance of the bunker. Although he didn't know if there were any companions holding on inside, at least this was the only hope now.
Chi chi chi…
"Lang...Langda?"
Outside the trench...the harsh roar of the engine suddenly sounded at this moment. Xiaolin turned his head and saw the scene that instantly broke all his illusions.
Hundreds of Chinese soldiers, accompanied by dozens of armored tanks, rushed toward his position like a wave. Smoke and dust filled the air, and the sound of tracks scraping against the ground was endless.
One of the tanks was only twenty meters away from him. The people in the tank had obviously noticed the figure that was squirming like a bug. They immediately turned the front of the tank and drove straight in this direction.
"Yami! Surrender する! Submit ginseng した!"
Seeing the steel behemoth getting closer and closer, Xiao Lin desperately wanted to leave the place, but he was seriously injured lying on the ground unable to move. In shock, he immediately raised his hands and shouted surrender, but who would care about what this Japanese soldier said? What are you talking about?
"Ah! Ah!!"
Xiao Lin screamed and screamed miserably. At the last moment of his life, he finally knew what despair meant. Fear made his crotch become wet, but this did not change what was going to happen next.
Click...
The tank ran over him solidly from feet to head, the sound of broken bones mixed with screams, pfft... his head exploded like a watermelon, scarlet blood mixed with white filth, accompanied by mud and minced meat. Get under the tracks.
"Good job, brat!"
Yuan Li laughed loudly, this scene was so satisfying, but it was a pity that the little devil could not be seen in the tank being crushed to pieces.
Chen Tang, who was driving the tank, said nothing, as if he had just crushed an insignificant ant to death, but at this moment his heart was extremely happy. These Japanese beasts only deserved to face death in fear.
"Lao Hong, most of the tank battalion has broken through the Japanese forward defense line. Repeat...the armored convoy has broken through the defense line. Please reply when you receive it!"
Yuan Li released the button on the walkie-talkie, patted the sugar underneath, and said: "Slow down, we are already in the center of the Japs' position, be careful of those elusive beasts holding explosive packs to commit suicide."
"I know, battalion commander."
Chen Tang immediately agreed, and then pushed the operating lever to the lowest level, keeping a pair of sharp eyes attentive to the situation ahead. When the other tanks saw the leader slowing down, they also slowed down.
A minute later, Hong Mu's reply came from the intercom: "The assault battalion has received... zi zi... We have also entered the second line of defense and are preparing to move forward... zi zi"
"Now it's your commando battalion's turn to step forward. Strike hard at the depth of the little devil and tear open the hole. The convoy will follow you to coordinate the advance. Be careful of the enemy's counterattack from the flanks."
"…received!"
…
At this moment, in addition to the southern battlefield of the Honorable Third Division, fierce fighting also broke out on the east and west sides of Myitkyina. The earth-shattering sound of artillery fire could be heard from a long distance away, and the dark clouds of war filled the entire sky.
The troops stationed in India and the 7th and 2nd armies of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force were like huge pliers, pinching the Japanese from the left and right. Each line of defense of the Japanese army was pulled out one by one, plus the third division. A powerful attack, the war is about to burn to the last position in Myitkyina city.
The Second Regiment and the armored assault force had already broken through the Japanese positions, and the remaining main force of the Third Regiment also began to charge from the hole opened by Yuan Li and the others. After several units merged, they immediately advanced towards the center of Myitkyina.
Kaname, who had been ambushing southwest of Myitkyina Railway Station, also took action at this moment. The main force of the first regiment came all the way along the railway, completely blocking the last escape route of the little devil.
The sound of gunfire is everywhere within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and both sides are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield. Under such circumstances, life has become extremely cheap, and every living life may turn into a cold corpse in the next second.
The temporary command headquarters of the Japanese 15th Army...the sound of dispatches can be heard incessantly. Emergency telegrams from various ministries pile up like snowflakes, and the little Japanese who come in and out have sad faces.
"Reporting to the division commander, Tuomeng Highland has been lost, and the 73rd Regiment has withdrawn to the southern third line for final resistance..."
"Your Excellency, Division Commander... The 136th Regiment suffered more than 70% battle damage. The commander of the regiment, Colonel Ishikawa, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Echizen, were both killed..."
"Report! The mouth of the Nuodong River in the north was occupied by enemy troops, and the 55th Brigade of the 69th Regiment... was completely wiped out..."
"The Takeda Battalion is besieged in the northeast and is requesting tactical guidance..."
Bad news was sent to the headquarters one after another. The eyes of all the Japanese soldiers were full of despair. Everyone knew that at this moment they were at the end of their fight.
"To be defeated so quickly...Have we, the warriors of the Japanese Empire, become so miserable? It's really abominable..."
The commander-in-chief Shojiro Iida who was supposed to be in the center had gone to Mandalay to hide early. The entire Japanese garrison in Myitkyina was under the command of Second Division Commander Okazaki Seisaburo, although he was a quick-thinking commander. , but no matter how cunning and cunning he is, there is nothing he can do about the current situation.
"Division Commander, what should we do now?"
Okazaki Seisaburo raised his eyelids and glanced coldly at the sand table on the table. A feeling of powerlessness suddenly flowed through his body. What else could he do? At this moment, he felt extremely bitter in his heart.
Myitkyi's huge defense line was about to fall apart without holding on for even a day. It is unimaginable for anyone to imagine such an ending.
"There is no point in staying here any longer. Let the surrounding troops organize their forces to break out. The west is the weak point of their encirclement. Attacking in this direction will have the least resistance..."
Okazaki Seisaburo rubbed his temples and spoke weakly. Like a deflated rubber ball, he no longer had the fighting spirit and confidence he had in the past.
To be able to issue such an order...perhaps for him as a commander, it was a decision he made after countless ideological struggles.
