The offensive of the landing army was very rapid. After seizing the stall, the two leading regiments began to advance in depth, and the first one to bear the brunt was the Dongua Railway Station, which was dozens of kilometers away.
Passing by the turret destroyed by rockets, several mangled corpses of Japanese soldiers and the remains of the building still emitting black smoke, the soldiers just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
This small turret is actually a bit insignificant in their eyes. Even if there are no fighter planes, it is just a matter of one bazooka.
A large number of troops moved northward, and their whereabouts would inevitably be exposed. The Japanese garrison also received news from high-level officials that a large number of Chinese troops raided from the coast.
Originally, the garrison in the rear was a second-line unit with low combat effectiveness. The enemy's appearance on the beach in the rear really frightened many people. Tension began to spread among the soldiers. Officers at all levels could only suppress it as much as possible for fear of a bigger threat. of riots.
The noise outside woke up the garrison commander Sho Nakajima from his sleep. As soon as he came outside the door, he saw countless soldiers running in a panic.
"What's going on? Why are you panicking?"
Just when he wanted to find someone to ask, the piercing sound of air raid sirens made him shudder unconsciously.
"Captain, please take cover quickly! We found a large number of enemy fighters attacking from the south!"
Nakajima Sho's face turned pale immediately, and before he could make any more arrangements, the Dongua train station was greeted by a fierce aerial attack.
Countless aerial bombs roared into the Japanese army. Barracks and military buildings became the first choice targets for the opponent's attack. They were instantly turned into a pile of rubble in the light of the explosion.
The roar in the sky and the screams among the soldiers became the main theme here. After the bombing, only devastation was left. Destroyed buildings were everywhere in the station, and all kinds of materials prepared to be transported to the front line were damaged to varying degrees.
The crowd swept through the entire station warehouse, and the ammunition and materials stored in it were now turned into barrels of explosives. If they were not careful, they would explode with the light of the fire. The anxious Japanese soldiers quickly went to put out the fire with buckets of water, but in this situation The momentum seems to be like a drop in the bucket, but it has no effect.
The bombing lasted for nearly half an hour. When there was no trace of fighter planes in the sky, a disgraced Nakajima Sho climbed out of the air raid shelter.
The scene in front of me is extremely despairing. Not to mention the casualties of the soldiers, there are countless destroyed materials in the warehouses. This is the foundation for the frontline troops to maintain their combat effectiveness. Maybe I will still be on guard after this time. Failing to do so leads to court martial.
After finally organizing the troops, Nakajima Sho received an order from his superiors, requiring the Dongua garrison to immediately rescue and transfer the remaining supplies from the train station, and to separate two squadrons to block the enemy attacking from the rear.

There was no way. Although the troops suffered heavy casualties, the orders from above had to be carried out immediately.
But as soon as he took the people out of the station, the reconnaissance plane in the sky reported the news back.
At the same time, a battalion of the leading force of the landing regiment has arrived 15 kilometers away from the Dongua train station. The soldiers are checking their equipment and ammunition and taking a short pre-war rest.
The radio station had just been set up, and the correspondent quickly contacted the headquarters. Soon they received a message from the superior. According to the intelligence from the reconnaissance plane, a 400-man Japanese army team was coming here, and its purpose should be to stop them. .
Battalion Commander Cao Daifu was an authentic Sichuan native. He had never been on a large ship before and was knocked dizzy by the jolts on the sea. He vomited until he died. After finally landing on the shore, he originally wanted to vent his anger on the enemy but found that his attack was in vain. This made him even more angry even though he was already exhausted physically and mentally. The ancestors of Japan were all swearing and swearing along the way.
As soon as he heard that some desperate little Japs were coming towards their team, Cao Daifu immediately became energetic and immediately arranged for his soldiers to prepare for battle.
"What's the matter? Two squadrons of troops? A guy like Guizi dares to block my way. He's just eating arsenic for an old man. He's tired of living!"
He put his hands on his hips and cursed loudly, but his eyes were full of excitement, he could finally show off his skills.
"Battal Commander, how should we fight?" his battalion deputy asked hurriedly.
how to spell? Cao Daifu touched the stubble on his chin and stared at the woods on the path in front of him, thinking.
"Zhong Laosan, you first arrange a squad to carry a backpack radio to the front for reconnaissance, and report the enemy's situation to me at any time. Then have the first and second platoons to ambush in the woods. When the Japanese come, just pin them to the ground and beat them hard. !”
"Got it! First platoon leader and second platoon leader, take your people and leave with me..."
Although Cao Daifu looks tall and thick, he is actually very delicate at heart. The mission of their team is to quickly advance northward and clear obstacles for the large forces in the rear. They cannot get entangled with the enemy here, and these troubles must be solved as soon as possible.
They also came with two Greyhound armored vehicles, which also greatly enhanced the team's firepower and attack capabilities. Comparing the current weapons and equipment, the two Japanese infantry squadrons are really not enough.
The soldiers immediately began to take action, setting up fire points, planting mines on the road and hiding their traces, waiting for the Japanese to enter the ambush circle.
The open space at the edge of the forest was a hole left for the Japanese. Once the Japanese were attacked, they would definitely find a way to break out. The open space was also the only visible breakthrough. When the enemy broke out here, the armored vehicles that had been equipped for a long time and the remaining The infantry platoon will give them the final blow and completely eliminate all resisters.
…
The fighting situation in the Don Gwa area is just the tip of the iceberg. While the fighting here is in full swing, a new round of fighting has also begun in northern Yangon, which has been silent for a long time.
The artillerymen frantically poured out the shells in their hands. The countless impact points covered several mountains. Air fighters roared past. The pilots of both sides were also engaged in a life-and-death battle. From time to time, planes emitting black smoke fell from the sky. .
The airborne troops of the Merrill Commando also airborne from two directions northwest of Dongua, attacking important military strongholds in the rear of the Japanese army as quickly as possible, and cooperating with the main force to advance deeply into the enemy.
Now the battlefield is like cold water thrown into a hot oil pan, which explodes instantly, showing a fierce chain reaction.
There was obviously a lot of panic in the Japanese command system. The situation of fires everywhere made people feel helpless. What was even more unexpected was that a large number of troops were heading south along the river from the northern part of Yin Rawady Province. Advancing rapidly, the forwards have now arrived at the Yinlowaddy Plain. However, because of unclear intelligence, the Japanese army does not yet know the specific situation.
Combined with the landing troops of the army on the right, the entire battlefield seemed to be clamped on three sides with pliers. If the situation could not be opened, the destruction of the Japanese army in Yangon was basically doomed.
