In addition to the train station, other places were not idle. The Japanese army intended to use the night to break out of the encirclement, and launched raids at the weak points of each encirclement to confuse the direction of their breakout.
The headquarters has sent out the final telegram to fight to the death. After the three divisions of the Japanese army, less than 10,000 people are left, and nearly 10,000 wounded soldiers are lying in the city lingering. Defense is meaningless to them, so why not? While there is still some resistance left, if you fight to the death, you may be able to escape.
Countless flares slowly rose into the sky, bringing light back to the earth, while the expeditionary forces on the ground were doing their best to block the openings and prevent the Japanese from counterattacking.
At the train station, the Second Battalion finally contained the Japs' attack under desperate resistance, and gradually stabilized as the First Battalion arrived at the defense line.
Although the Japs attacked fiercely, they were not willing to fight. After learning that they could not break through from the front in a short period of time, they immediately retreated. Except for the sparse sound of gunfire from far away on the battlefield, no charging figure could be seen.
"Company...Company Commander, has the kid escaped?" A veteran asked uncertainly.
"Stay vigilant and count the casualties quickly. Who knows what tricks these bastards are going to play."
The company commander looked in front of him warily. The open space in front was as bright as daylight under the illumination of the rear flares, and no one could be seen except for the corpses left by the Japanese.
It seemed that the Japanese had retreated, but the company commander did not dare to be careless. Their company's position was at the front of the entire defense line, and it was under the greatest attack pressure.
"Lao Yang! Lao Yang?"
At this time, a group of people came from behind. The major officer at the head quickly stopped him: "Lao Yang, have the little devils retreated? How are your company's casualties?"
Seeing the people from the first battalion arriving, Captain Yang's tense nerves finally calmed down and he said casually: "More than sixty people have died, and those who can be replaced are all here."
The major officer sighed and patted Captain Yang's shoulder with a heavy heart: "Go down first. The acting regiment commander has ordered our first battalion to take over the defense first."
Captain Yang turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a large number of soldiers pouring into the forward position, and many heavy weapons were also brought up, obviously intending to fight the Japanese to the death.
"To be honest, the Japanese are a little weird this time. You have to be careful." Lao Yang was a little worried, and his intuition told him that things were not that simple.
"Don't worry, our battalion commander has..."
boom! boom! boom!
Before the major officer finished speaking, a violent explosion suddenly came from the side and rear, and then the sound of intensive gunfire began to echo in the darkness.
"not good!"
The two looked at each other, and both saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes. The direction of the gunfire should be the location of the third battalion in the rear, and the headquarters was also over there.
On the surface, the Japanese army launched a massive attack on the front line of defense, but in reality they were attacking in the east and west. The large troops had quietly detoured from the flanks to the rear, heading towards the weak points of a group of side positions. Their purpose was actually to break through the encirclement.
The first battalion was originally guarding there, but now that the front was attacked, the first battalion hurriedly provided support. The third battalion's defense had not yet been in place, and the flanks were completely exposed. The Japs took the opportunity to go around and launch a fierce attack in that direction.
The Japanese army knew very well in their hearts that they had only one chance, and if they failed, they would never succeed. If they could not break through, they would have to leave Myitkyina to wait for death. Therefore, the battle became intense at the beginning. Under the leadership of various lieutenants, Thousands of little devils shouted "Long live" regardless of life and death, and launched a pig-like charge like desperadoes.
"What the hell!"
"Long live!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang...!"
The dense crowd made the scalps of the soldiers on the position numb, and the machine guns in their hands were constantly flashing fire, but there were too many enemies rushing up. They were like wild beasts, killing a group and then rushing out. A batch swept over like a wave.
"kill!"
Four or five Japanese soldiers finally jumped into the trench, and before they could stand firm, a hot fire snake rushed towards them.
"Ahhh!"
These little devils instantly turned into roasted suckling pigs and danced on the spot, screaming continuously, and a burning smell soon appeared in the air.
Several flamethrowers held the gasoline guns in their hands tightly and used the flames to form a wall of fire, burning countless little devils into burning men. Drops of sweat fell from their resolute cheeks, letting the heat wave hit their faces. Don't take a step back.
However, there were too many Japanese soldiers following up. With the explosion of several grenades, a large hole was finally torn open in the position, and countless Japanese soldiers swarmed in.
"Don't retreat! Guard it for me!"
Seeing that many soldiers had begun to waver, a platoon leader roared at the top of his lungs. Then he quickly installed the bayonet on the head of the gun and stabbed the little Japanese in front of him without any explanation.
Poof!
The bayonet pierced the kid's throat hard, and he screamed while covering his stabbed neck. His body was like a deflated ball without any strength.
The platoon leader showed no mercy, drew his knife, stood up and kicked the Japanese soldier over, his eyes locked on the next target.
"Kill!"
The Japanese commander with a samurai sword in his hand screamed and struck him with a knife. The platoon leader instinctively took half a step back, but the commander approached without hesitation. He raised the samurai sword, and the sharp blade instantly It cut open the muscles on his thighs.
The platoon leader grunted in pain and broke out in cold sweat, but the movement of his hand did not slow down even a moment. He turned the rifle and made a sweeping sweep, hitting the Japanese commander Cao hard on the head with the butt of the rifle.
Before the platoon leader had time to take a breath, he felt an evil wind coming from behind him. At this time, he had no time to react. Another kid who sneaked up behind him stabbed his lower back with a bayonet.
"ah!"
The platoon leader couldn't help but cry out in agony. Just as he was about to turn around and fight back, the kid behind him drew out his bayonet and hit him hard on the back of the head with the butt of his rifle.
thump…
At this moment, he was completely knocked to the ground, and the rifle in his hand rolled aside. At this moment, the knocked down Chief Cao stood up unsteadily.
With no way to retreat, more and more little Japs rushed into the trenches, but the comrades around him fell into a pool of blood one by one. The platoon leader couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.
"Baga! Stupid Chinese pig, hold him down!"
The Japanese Army Commander Cao touched his head, which was still bleeding. The blow just now almost knocked him unconscious. Now of course he would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he would definitely torture this Chinese who did not know whether to live or die.
The platoon leader knew very well what would happen if he fell into the hands of the Japanese. Without any extra action, he gritted his teeth and quietly took out the grenade from his arms and pulled the tab without hesitation.
The Japanese soldier raised his sword high above his head and slashed it viciously at his neck. At this last moment, the platoon leader used all his strength to jump up from the ground and faced the cold blade without fear...
boom!
Death is not terrible, but the dignity of the Chinese people must not be trampled on by the little devil!
