"Kill, kill all the stubborn Japanese!"
"Kill, leave no one behind!"
…
The sound of bugles pierced the sky, and the shouts of killing resounded through the sky. Under the guidance of the military flag, the 20,000 soldiers of the New Army rushed out like an overwhelming sea, chasing the 18th Division and the 55th Division and drowning them. This accelerated the enemy's advance. rout;
The army was defeated like a mountain, and any spontaneous resistance was in vain. In the face of the overwhelming momentum, personal bravery was of little use, and the result was death, which was nothing more than causing certain casualties to the pursuers.
If you want to save your life when you are defeated, the only way is to run faster than others. After all, it is difficult to catch tens of thousands of pigs, let alone the Japanese who are running away.
There will always be a large number of lucky people who escape from a rout, such as Lieutenant General Muta, the commander of the 18th Division, and Tanaka, the old Japanese from the 55th Division. They escaped under the escort of several staff officers, but they would rather They didn't escape, and the cruel reality made them unwilling to accept it. It would be better if they died a hundred times.
After chasing for more than ten miles, the New First Army could no longer pursue them. The defeated Japanese soldiers ran all over the mountains and fields, and many even got into the jungle. They had to stop to take a breath and then clean up the battlefield.
At this time, the aircraft fleet with replenished aerial bombs flew over the battlefield again. The infantry brothers below cheered to the air force brothers. Ferreira could feel the joy at an altitude of several thousand meters. He was also sincerely proud. !
He became more and more fond of the heroic collective of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and had integrated himself into them. This victory belonged to the entire expeditionary force, including him.
Ferreira and other aviation volunteers paid tribute to their infantry comrades with the unique etiquette of the Air Force. Only by integrating air and ground can the enemy be eliminated to the greatest extent.
The fleet continued towards the next target. They first flew over the mechanized division, and then appeared over Magui, the main battlefield on the left wing;
Looking at the densely packed Japanese scurrying below, the bomber aviation volunteers whistled excitedly, and their hunting moment began...
"Bagayalu, where are the Imperial Army's planes?"
Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo, the commander of the 33rd Division, asked angrily. Unfortunately, their anger could not stop the Chinese Air Force's attack.
30 air fortresses swooped down and threw heavy aerial bombs into the 33rd Division's positions, swallowing up groups of Japanese.
Sakurai Shozo's heart was bleeding. His 33rd Division was wantonly massacred by the Chinese, with no power to resist.
Maybe the call from Sakurai Shozo, a member of the Saber Team, worked, or maybe Lieutenant General Iida of the 15th Army reacted after being bombed. They sent the last 30 or so fighter jets of the air force to assist in the battle. Ferreira was so excited - the Japanese sent Ying Yuan!
Ferreira whistled and said excitedly to the others on the radio:
"Guys, it's time to work!"
Dozens of escorting Mustangs roared towards the group of Japanese aircraft. The two sides soon fought together, and Japanese fighter jets were constantly blown up.
The main types of aircraft dispatched by the Japanese this time are Falcon fighters. The Zero type is still rare in the Army Aviation. Almost all were lost in the last air battle. Now there are only these dozens of Falcons left.
He originally planned to sneak attack the bombers of the expeditionary force, but he unexpectedly encountered a group of wild horses and became a flock of chickens being ravaged by eagles.
In actual combat, the Mustang was simply suppressed by blood against the Falcon, and the Japanese fleet was miserable...
Ferreira easily shot down another fighter plane. When he went to search for the target, there was no longer a Japanese fighter plane in the sky.
"Only 40 eagle yuan, more monks and less rice!"
Ferreira continued to say that at this time, the bomber fleet had completed dropping bombs and was shooting at the ground with the 10 machine guns that came with the fuselage, smashing groups of Japanese into pieces.
This time, Feyre and others did not participate in this carnival on the ground because they had to keep some bullets just in case.
Old Japanese Iida has disappointed Ferreira and others. He can't give them Eagle Elements for the time being.
(Iida: That’s pretty much it. We still expect the Imperial Army’s planes to make a fortune.
Ferreira: There is no way, I lost to the goddess for three years’ wages)
After Sakurai Shozo sent Ferreira and others away with hateful eyes, before he could feel happy, he felt the earth trembling, and a voice in the distance made him change his face. He cursed almost desperately. road:
"Bagaya road, chariot group!"
Sun Fumin could feel the despair of the Japs from a few kilometers away. The planes in the sky were saturating bombs and the tanks on the ground were crushing them. The Japs who had been bombed had no power to fight back and could only be beaten passively. In this battle, It’s so enjoyable!
"Comrades, go ahead and crush them to pieces."
Sun Fumin was so excited that he even called out "comrades". There was nothing wrong with this. He had heard that during the Huangpu period, the Kuomintang army also called them "comrades";
Ever since comrades became brothers, their combat effectiveness has plummeted. It is difficult for an army without faith to win a war!
As long as the war can be won and the Japanese can be eliminated, he doesn't mind Chu Xiong re-injecting soul and faith into the new army.
Killing the Japanese is the first priority!
Facing the armored torrent composed of hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, the infantry who had been disorganized could not stop their advance.
The Armored Division once again replicated the one-sided massacre scene in Lashio, except this time the victim was replaced by the 33rd Division.
At the headquarters of the New Second Army, Yan Haoyu decisively issued an order for a full-scale counterattack. The loud bugle sounded, and rows of soldiers, led by the military flag, rushed towards the Japanese like an overwhelming force, giving the Japanese the most fatal blow.
The 33rd Division was defeated without any suspense. In order to drive the Japanese to the northwest, the mechanized division led by Sun Fumin turned again and made a large detour toward the northeast;
In addition to leaving one infantry division to occupy Pimala, the New Second Army also followed the mechanized division from south to north and carried out a large roundabout operation to push the defeated troops of the 33rd Division, 18th Division and 55th Division to the northwest. Rush and cut off their connection with the 56th Division of the Fifteenth Army Reserve.
The initial goal is to block the Sixth Division in Mandalay City and drive the defeated troops of the other three divisions to Savage Mountain or the northwest.
At this time, the two infantry divisions of the New First Army turned around and blocked the 6th Division's northward escape route from the north;
The Second Division of the New Second Army occupied Binmala and cut off the Sixth Division's retreat.
The New Third Army deliberately withdrew from Lashio to the Musai and Tengchong lines in the north, blocking the Japanese's access to southwest China.
This left a huge gap between the New Third Army and the New First Army. Pursued by the mechanized division and the New Second Army's 1st Division, the Japanese's defeated troops escaped from this gap and Lashio fell.
The Japanese defeated troops did not stop in Lashio, but continued to defeat northwest. A few days later, they occupied Bhamo, and then were driven to Myitkyla, an important town in the northern part of the Emerald Kingdom.
The defeated troops of the three divisions have only more than 20,000 people left, and all heavy weapons have been lost. To the east and south are tens of thousands of pursuit troops of the expeditionary force. To the north, separated by the virgin forest and the Nujiang defense line, is the southwest of China. , there are at least hundreds of thousands of Chinese elites waiting for them there.
To the west is the Asan Kingdom, with a defense line composed of hundreds of thousands of British and Indian troops. They are surrounded by four sides...
In Myitkyi La, several division commanders gathered together for a meeting to discuss where to go. The meeting room was gloomy and the shadow of the annihilation of the entire army hung over them. Lieutenant General Mutian spoke first:
"Gentlemen, tell me, what should we do next?"
