"These bastards, I really don't cry without seeing the coffin! The old people left their homes to help them resist the aggression, but this group of bastards regard us as enemies!"

Seeing these Burmese traitors come back again, Su Zuxin gritted her teeth and cursed, she really didn't know what to say!

Sun Minggang sighed: "Hey, don't say that people who are not of our race must have different hearts. Don't we also have a large number of traitors and puppet soldiers in our country? Those traitors who regard thieves as their fathers are the real ones to kill and hate!"

Su Zuxin said quietly: "Yeah, our Yangyang Huaxia was bullied like this by a small island country, the main reason is that our hearts are not in harmony, there are too many traitors, traitors, and warlords doing their own thing!

Fortunately, our national government is still persisting in the war of resistance, and there are such powerful anti-Japanese forces as Commander Yang and the Chinese Huben Army!

Although the War of Resistance is still in a difficult stage, I have reason to believe that victory will definitely belong to us! "

Speaking of this, Su Zuxin's eyes flashed with longing and enthusiasm. After seeing the strength of the Chinese Huben Army, he had long believed that this battle into Burma would surely win the final victory.

When the fierce battle between the 135th Division and the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was in full swing, the vanguard of the Japanese Guards Division and the 55th Division had advanced to within five kilometers to the south and east of the Moulmein Mountain Fortress.

The artillery of the mountain fortress kept roaring and roaring at the devil troops, and kept firing shells at the marching devil troops, causing a lot of casualties to the devils.

But there is no way to stop the continuous advancement of the devil's troops, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

In particular, the 55th Division, which departed from Mudong, had already entered a hilly area opposite the Mtlamian Mountain Fortress. Under the cover of favorable terrain, it did not suffer too many casualties. On a reverse slope.

Ishimoto Yinsan's follower team climbed to a small highland 3 kilometers away from the Huaxia Mountain Fortress, lay down behind a rock and picked up a telescope to observe carefully.

Not far away, the Huaxia mountain fortress, reinforced concrete blockhouse, and circular trench fortifications are clearly in sight!

Looking further to the northeast, thousands of imperial soldiers from the Imperial Guards Division, led by a large number of chariots, are aggressively fighting towards the mountain fortress.

Seeing this, Ishimoto Yinsan shouted with great excitement: "Yoxi! Hurry up, let the artillery calculate and shoot Zhuyuan, and then hit me hard! The 112th Regiment and the Chariot Battalion immediately attacked the The Huaxia Mountain Fortress launched an attack!"

The Japanese devils knew very well that this mountain fortress was the southern barrier of Mawlamyine. If they did not attack it first, they would have to attack Mawlamyine with powerful artillery fire, and they would pay several times the price of casualties!

Conversely, once this mountain fortress is broken, the Japanese army can set up artillery positions condescendingly, and bombard Chinese positions such as Mawlamyine, Motama City, and Bilu Island without any dead ends.

Therefore, no matter how much the price is paid, this mountain fortress must be conquered first.

Chapter 850

Chongqing Presidential Palace.

Commissar Chiang has always been very concerned about the war in Burma. Not only have a large number of military-controlled and central-unified espionage organizations in Burma, but Lin Wei, Du Yuming and others have privately instructed before entering Burma that whenever there is any trouble in Burma, they must be the first tell him.

In the early hours of this morning, the large-scale air strikes by the Japanese Air Force finally ignited the long-standing war clouds in Myanmar. The large-scale war between the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Japanese invaders broke out in an instant in Myanmar, and various news channels gradually fed back various front-line news.

After receiving the exact news of the outbreak of the war, Generalissimo Jiang immediately called all his confidants and senior officials to the war room of the presidential palace to urgently discuss the war in Burma.

Although it is said that Myanmar is thousands of miles away, and the command of the Myanmar war completely falls to the Commander Command of the Myanmar Theater Command.

But Generalissimo Jiang has always been accustomed to "planning strategies and winning thousands of miles away." If Generalissimo Jiang didn't organize a group of people to discuss deduction and make suggestions, he could only describe it as not enjoying the food and drinking, and the seconds like a year.

But this is completely understandable, just like modern people sitting on TV watching a football game, even if they can’t go to the scene to cheer and cheer, can’t play to help play football, can’t act as a coach to make suggestions, and can’t act as a referee blowing black whistle to decide the outcome of the game.

However, this does not hinder the eager enthusiasm of the fans to watch the live broadcast of the game in real time, and it will not reduce their frenzied pleasure of cheering and enjoying themselves beside the TV.

Receiving an urgent call from Generalissimo Jiang, Zhang Zhizhong, Chen Cheng, He Yaozu, Dai Li, Yu Jishi, Liu Shiyi, He Yingqin, Xu Yongchang, Zhou Zhirou and others rushed to the War Room of the Presidential Palace as quickly as possible.

The war room of the Presidential Palace has already prepared a military map and a large combat sand table about Myanmar. After entering the war room, all the generals circled the map and the sand table while listening to the communication staff dictating the latest front-line intelligence.

"According to the summary of the current battle situation, it is not difficult to see that the Japanese invaders today are definitely not a tentative attack, but a well-prepared large-scale frontal decisive battle!

Today's battle is destined to be an unprecedented bitter and bloody battle. This battle is of great significance, and the victory or defeat will directly determine the trend of the next battle in Myanmar."

After everyone had digested the existing information, Generalissimo Jiang first made a concluding speech, then looked at Bai Chongxi and Liu Shiyi with a solemn expression and said:

"Now the Japanese invaders have chosen the defense line of the 31th Division of the 135st Army along the river as a breakthrough point. The entire defense line of the 31st Army is undergoing an extremely severe test. The situation is not optimistic!"

At present, Generalissimo Jiang has received information that two waves of Japanese troops crossing the river have landed on the west bank, and five or six thousand devil soldiers are engaged in large-scale hand-to-hand combat with more than ten thousand officers and soldiers of the 2st Army.

In addition, the devil's third wave of troops crossing the river is already on the way.

Although Commissar Jiang knew that the total strength of the 31st Army was 31 to 33, he was still not very optimistic that the [-]st Army could withstand the continuous and powerful impact of the Devil's [-]rd Division!

As the former commander of the 31st Army, Liu Shiyi was the first to answer confidently: "Please rest assured, the 31st Army is an iron army that has undergone many battles and tests, and they will definitely live up to the high expectations of the committee!

What's more, the little devils, without the cover of aircraft, artillery and tank fire, dared to start a hand-to-hand combat with the 31st Army, so let them have a good taste of the power of the wolf soldiers of the Guangxi Army! "

Liu Shiyi, a native of Liujia Village, Xiapaimen, Duchang County, Jiangxi Province, lost his father since he was a child and was raised by a widowed mother. He is an important military general from other provinces of the Xingui Clan and is currently the political deputy director of the Military Training Department.

After the "July 31th" Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Liu Shiyi was transferred to the commander of the [-]st Army, and was ordered to lead his troops northward and stationed in Haizhou, northern Jiangsu, to prevent the enemy from landing.

In the winter of this year, Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the fifth war zone, organized and directed the defensive battle on Jinpu Road.

Liu Shiyi was ordered to lead the 31st Army, and stationed in Xuzhou and Mingguang in the southern section of Jinpu Road from Haizhou to make in-depth equipment and defend against danger.

At this time, the Japanese commander Yan Junliu led eight divisions and crossed the river north from Zhenjiang, Nanjing, and Wuhu in the southern section of Jinpu Road. Three of the divisions went straight to Bengbu along the front of the railway and approached Mingguang in the 31st Army defense area.

Liu Shiyi commanded the troops to block the attack bravely, and the bloody battle lasted for more than a month. The two sides were tied, which was beyond the expectation of the Japanese commander.

Later, when the enemy came to reinforce them, Liu Shiyi knew that it would be difficult to fight the enemy, so he adopted the tactics of avoiding the truth and taking retreat as the advance.

After the Japanese army rushed into Mingguang Empty City, Liu Shiyi led his troops to suddenly appear on the left side of the enemy's back, attack eastward, cut the enemy into several sections, and then surrounded and wiped out the isolated enemy.

In this way, the 31st Army and the Japanese army engaged in a tug-of-war on Jinpu Road, always threatening the enemy.

Li Zongren said in summarizing the combat experience: "The key to this battle is that the 31st Army executes the order thoroughly, and always keeps an eye on the Jinpu line so that the enemy cannot advance north."

In the spring of 1938, Liu Shiyi led the 31st Army to garrison Taierzhuang, Shandong to fight against the Itagaki Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army.Relying on "the imperial army is invincible", Itagaki drove straight in.

Liu Shiyi commanded the troops to ambush according to the danger, and faced the battle calmly.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese Isoya Division went south for reinforcements, concentrated artillery and tank firepower, and violently attacked the positions of the 31st Army.Liu's headquarters was also hit by enemy artillery.

Liu Shiyi led the troops to fight fiercely with the Japanese army tenaciously for four days and four nights, gaining time for the fifth theater.

Immediately, Li Zongren urgently dispatched Tang Enbo's No.20 Army and Sun Lianzhong's Second Army for reinforcements, thus achieving the Taierzhuang victory.

In the modern history of China, the Hunan Army has the majesty and majesty of turning the tide in the late Qing Dynasty, the Sichuan Army has the generous and tragic hero who came out of Sichuan without surviving, and there is also the Guangxi Army known as the "iron-blooded wolf soldiers".

In the Battle of Songhu, the 6 most elite divisions of the Guangxi Army, as one of the last 2 support armies, went upstream to the front line.

During the 7-day counterattack and persistence, the brigade commander alone killed 3 people.

The former tiger and wolf division faced a modern war for the first time. Even if they refused to admit defeat, they had to face the sorrow of losing more than half of the army's casualties and losing their combat power!

In the battle of Xuzhou, the battle between Su County and Mengcheng, the Gui army once again played the role of iron and blood resistance that determined the turning point of the battle.

The 171st Division of the Gui Army defended Su County to the death. The whole division was killed and injured, and the division commander Yang Junchang was injured.

As for the First Regiment of the 173rd Division of the Gui Army, which was firmly guarding Mengcheng, Zhou Yuan, the deputy commander, led the rest of the troops to the rear, and fought hard to die for the country. Except for more than a hundred people who broke through the siege, 90.00% of the whole regiment died in battle.

The Japanese army also called the Gui Army "the trump card of the miscellaneous army", and the Gui Army was also the only unit that did not have a puppet army during the Anti-Japanese War.

Therefore, the titles of "Iron-Blooded Gui Army, Wolf Soldiers in the World" and "Anti-Japanese Iron Army" deserve their names!

Seeing Liu Shiyi's confident appearance, Chairman Jiang couldn't dampen his enthusiasm, so he turned to Bai Chongxi and said:

"Jiansheng, I heard that the 33rd Division is a Class C division, but an upright Division B division, and it has recently been strengthened into a Division A division!"

Chapter 851

Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "What the committee member said is very true. I have also received relevant information. The Devil's 33rd Division has indeed been strengthened unprecedentedly. There are currently 9 regiments under its command, including 4 infantry regiments that are fully staffed!

Moreover, the commander of his division, Shozo Sakurai, is a graduate of the 31st saber group of the Japanese Army University and a serious commander of the Japanese Army's infantry division!

The strength of the 33rd Division should not be underestimated. Now Sakurai Sho Santetsu is determined to break through from the 31st Army's position, which is indeed a great test and challenge! "

Chairman Jiang frowned and said: "So, Jiansheng, are you also worried that the 31st Army will not be able to stop the Japanese attack?"

Bai Chongxi nodded lightly and said: "Behind the 33rd Division, there is not only the giant Devil Guard Division, but also the powerful air force and navy that may provide strong support at any time!"

Bai Chongxi's strategic vision is obviously higher than that of Liu Shiyi. He not only sees that the 31st Army will suffer unbearable heavy losses if it continues to be so tough, and it is very likely that it will really tear a hole from here, thus disrupting the The whole Myanmar layout!

At this time, He Yingqin said with a bit of resentment: "What Jian Sheng said is very true, this Stilwell and Yang Fan don't know what they are doing, but they will deploy the main force on the defense line on the west bank of the Salween River!

Isn't this an obvious way to use your own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths?During the Battle of Songhu, did we suffer less along the Yangtze River? "

"Enough, what are you doing so far!"

Chairman Jiang's face was a little dark. Although he knew that He Yingqin was definitely not exposing his old background with rhythm, the battle in Songhu was a pain that would never go away in his heart.

After a pause, Chairman Jiang glanced at the sand table, and then Dai Li asked: "Where is the armored corps of the 5th Division of the 200th Army? The armored corps is just to restrain the infantry, and it is very useful at this time. Why are they still standing still? Come on!" Du Yuming sent an electric power and asked him what happened!"

In fact, Generalissimo Jiang had already received a small report from Du Yuming, that is, Wei Yunsong politely rejected the request of the 5th Army to send an armored corps for support.

And Chairman Jiang has now taken the initiative to mention this issue. On the surface, he is blaming the Fifth Army for not doing anything, but in fact he is making a high profile, saying that the Central Army will fight side by side with the local army unswervingly, and fight bloody battles!

Dai Li quickly answered comprehensibly: "Reporting to the committee, Commander Du has offered to send an armored corps to support the 31st Army, but Commander Wei is worried that the armored troops will be bombed by the Japanese air force, so he politely declined!"

"What? How could this be!"

Chairman Jiang yelled in feigned surprise, and then looked at Bai Chongxi and Liu Shiyi.

Liu Shiyi seemed to understand something, and quickly tried to explain: "I think the armored corps of the 200th Division should be a trump card in the Burmese theater. Both the commander's headquarters and Commander Wei must consider it!"

Chairman Jiang stared and said: "Good steel is used for the blade, and at this time, can you give up eating because you are afraid of the devil's bombing?

The third wave of devils crossing the river is about to arrive at the west bank, and by then there will be at least a thousand devil soldiers, and if they confront them head-on with flesh and blood, how many people will die? "

Chairman Jiang was indeed a little anxious and worried. Although the 31st Army is a local miscellaneous army, the current war in Burma cannot be separated from this Guangxi army who can fight tough battles and bloody battles.

If they were directly disabled in the first day of the battle, which army should continue to resist the protracted and tough battle?

This time, in order to keep the Burma Road, Chairman Jiang has tried his best to mobilize the elite to fight in Burma. He also counts on the 30 expeditionary force to stick to it for a long time, and there is no need to send reinforcements from China!

Generalissimo Jiang still understands the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so at this time, you must not ignore death and do nothing but take action when it is time to do so!

At the same time, Chairman Jiang is also very much looking forward to the Armored Corps of the 200th Division of the National Army, which has high hopes, to win the flag in the Burmese theater, and give himself a long face of prestige!

"Report, the latest news from Myanmar!"

As if to prove Chairman Jiang's wise foresight, at this moment a communications staff officer hurried into the war room and said very quickly:

"The third wave of the Japanese 33rd Division crossing the river has already taken advantage of the chaos and arrived at the west bank, among which eight Japanese chariots landed at the same time. At present, the total strength of the Japanese army on the west bank is as many as 9500.

The 31st Army has successively invested nearly 3 troops in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese invaders. The current battle situation is extremely tragic, and the 31st Army's defense line is in jeopardy! "

"what?"

Liu Shiyi couldn't help but exclaimed, oh my god, the number of troops crossing the river that the devils have invested today is as high as 1.4!

The 31st Army just forcefully eats up the vitality of nearly 2 devils, and I am afraid that [-] or [-] people will be killed or injured to stop it.

But obviously, according to the current rhythm, the Devils Guards Division on the other side will not sit idly by. It is very likely that after the infantry regiment of the 33rd Division is sent to the West Bank, the Guards Division will continue to increase its troops.

Even the devils will dispatch a large number of fighter jets and bombers to coordinate operations, and use transport planes to attack and drop paratroopers into the air!

Chen Cheng said solemnly: "It's impossible to fight like this! The Japanese devils have even started to cross the river with chariots, and we are still fighting recklessly with our flesh and blood. We are really at a disadvantage!"

Zhang Zhizhong nodded and said: "Yes, the quality of the devil's individual soldiers is much better than ours. It is not a joke for nearly ten thousand devil infantry to fight hand-to-hand!"

"This is going to be difficult!"

"Hey, how did this all happen? Didn't Yang Fan always say that Yang Fan spent huge sums of money in Burma to build a strong defense line along the river, which is enough to stop the Japanese army for several months?"

"Yeah, why didn't you just start fighting hard?"

"What are Yang Fan's Huaxia Huben Army doing now? Don't they have planes and tanks?"

"I'm afraid it won't work with the devil like this, right?"

After hearing this new news, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Zhang Zizhong and the others all shook their heads. For a long time, the devils' record of defeating many with less has been deeply imprinted in their minds. imprint.

"..."

Bai Chongxi frowned and said nothing, because in his opinion, saying anything at this time was superfluous.

Not to mention that the command of the Myanmar frontline battlefield is not on Chongqing's side, even if it is on Chongqing's side, it may be difficult to control the situation with a few orders and quickly change the direction of the battle.

For the current plan, we can only hope that the Burmese theater commander's headquarters can make timely remedial measures, and can completely plug this gap with the fastest speed and the strongest means!

Otherwise, the 31st Army is doomed to be hurt today, and it is even very likely that the entire defense line along the river will collapse!

Generalissimo Jiang's eyes were fixed, deeply aware of the seriousness of the situation, and he didn't care about overstepping his authority, so he immediately turned his head and ordered in a deep voice to Dai Li:

"Immediately send a telegram to Dai Li, telling him to send the armored soldiers to the position of the 31th Division of the 135st Army, and cooperate with the brother troops to cleanly destroy the devil troops, and tie up the holes tightly!"

Chapter 852

"Yes!"

Dai Li immediately took the order and left. As for whether the telegram is appropriate and whether it is useful to send out, it is not something he has to consider.

At this time, He Yingqin said meaningfully: "Commissioner, it is said that Yang Fan has done a lot of things in Myanmar?"
