"Hay!"

The devil's communication staff officer hurriedly gave orders.

Before the devil's communications staff could leave, Anda 23 continued to order in a deep voice:

"Pass my order, the 42nd Division immediately launched an attack on Jingdong, the 11th Division immediately launched an attack on Mengbin and Gunxin, and the 8th Division immediately launched an attack on Nam Sang and Taunggyi.

As the general reserve team, the 1st Division is on standby at any time! "

"Hay!"

Only then did the devil's communication staff officer take the order and leave.

Half an hour later, the group of Devil bombers that took off from Thailand's Bachi and Huai Ao airports roared and flew towards Taunggyi, Nam Sang and other places.

Woo~woo~woo~

When the Devil's plane appeared on the surveillance screen of the radar station, sharp air defense sirens sounded one after another in Taunggyi, Nansang, Gunxin, Lashio and other places. And the telephones of the military headquarters of each army were instantly rang.

Not long after the alarm sounded, a large number of Japanese aircraft appeared in the sky over Taunggyi and Nansang, assisting the Japanese army on the ground to launch the first round of offensive.

The devil's fleet circled repeatedly, bombarding the positions of the 6th Army and the 66th Army indiscriminately.

The anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft units of the 6th Army and the 66th Army fought back vigorously, bombarding the Devils with all their strength.

At the same time, after receiving a call for help, the 10rd Battalion of the US 23th Air Force stationed at Mandalay Airport, led by General Chennault himself, went to stop the Japanese Air Force.

Accompanying him was a fighter flying regiment of the Flying Tigers.

"Tao time to change!"

"assault!"

The devil troops were eager to stand firm and break through the national army's defense line. Before the air force bombing was completely over, the devil soldiers began to pounce wildly under the command of the commander's knife tip.

Gan Lichu, commander of the 6th Army, and Zhang Zhen, commander of the 66th Army, ordered the troops to fight calmly, fight steadily, and prevent the Japanese army from advancing.

A thrilling life-and-death struggle ensues between the two armies.

Chapter 974 Full bloom

Not long after the Devil bomber fleet started to return, the aviation brigade led by Chennault and the 9th Fighter Flying Regiment of the Huben Army rushed to the sky over Taunggyi.

The Devils escort fighter group immediately turned their heads, covering the bomber group and retreating while fighting.

"Full speed pursuit! Let these damned Japanese invaders go to God!"

"Roger that!"

"understand!"

"Haha, brothers, today we finally have a chance to participate in the first round of the battle. There are not many such opportunities. We have to kill ourselves today!"

"That's right, these dog days must come and go!"

"Everyone, don't get excited, keep the formation, and chase at full speed!"

However, Chennault and the Flying Tigers of the Huben Army, who wanted to kill the devil quickly, would not let the devil's air force go so easily. They rushed at full speed without any hesitation, and fought with the devil's escort fighter formation.

An extremely fierce air battle broke out in an instant!

"assault!"

"Tao time to change!"

However, the Devils army did not change their combat plan because of the arrival of the U.S. Air Force and the Huaxia Air Force. Under the leadership of the Type 95 tank troops, the Devils' three divisions and regiments with tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers divided into five groups, targeting Taunggyi, Namsan, and Kunxin. , Mengbin, Jingdong 5 towns.

These five towns formed a complete defense chain, which was the barrier of the Huaxia Expeditionary Army's rear and the Burma Road, so Yang Fan put the 5th Army and the 6th Army on this defense chain from the very beginning.

And let the 71st Army be responsible for stationing on the front line of Lashio and Xibu, to ensure the safety of the Burma Road, and to ensure the connection between the Chinese expedition and the country, so that they will not be cut off as in the original history.

"Quick! Fire! Hit me hard! Fuck these bastards to death!"

"Brothers, it's time to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a short time. It's time to defend the country, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"

"Brothers, the 5th Army, the 31st Army, and the Huaxia Huben Army have fought against the little devils many times and severely damaged the devils' troops. Now it's our turn to play!"

"It's a man, so stand up and hold on! Devils are nothing to be afraid of. Little devils are human beings, and they are flesh and blood. A single shot will make a bloody hole!"

"Listen up, everyone. If anyone retreats without a fight and discredits our 38th Division, the gun in my hand can only turn his face and deny anyone!"

"Brothers, hit me hard! Kill!"

"kill!"

"Little devil, I'm ignoring your eighteen generations of ancestors!"

The 6th Army and the 66th Army have already completed the refitting of American equipment, which is even better than the Devil Army in terms of weapons and equipment, especially in terms of large-caliber artillery and has an absolute advantage.

Coupled with the long-term preparations for the whole army and the coordinated operations of the air force, although the devils are menacing, the morale of the 6th Army and the 66th Army are very strong from top to bottom, and there is no panic, let alone the phenomenon of collapse .

Just as the Devil's 18th Army launched an all-out attack on the Taunggyi-Kingdong line, the Japanese 15th Army, 19th Army, and 20th Army were not idle.

The same recipe and the same taste, the Devils still used the usual three-axes tactic, first pulling out the bomber fleet to bombard, and then bombarding with cannons and naval guns.

After doing this, the devil infantry began to fight across the river, or launched an attack on the Moulmein Fortress under the cover of tank troops.

In addition, the Devils Task Force also transported a Devils Infantry Wing to land on Bilu Island.

The defense line of the Hpaan section of the Salween River, the pre-war headquarters of the 22nd Army.

This is a small mountain located about 6 kilometers west of the Salween River. It has a wide view and overlooks the entire defense line along the river. For the convenience of observation, Li Jiayu, deputy commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army, placed the pre-war command post here.

When the Devil Air Force bombing was over, Li Jiayu hurried out of the air defense command room with a telescope, and walked quickly to a reinforced concrete watchtower on the top of the mountain to observe the enemy's situation on the front line.

Immediately behind Li Jiayu were Zhu Ying, Chief of Staff of the 22nd Army, Yang Junqing, Chief of Staff of the 41st Army, Chen Dingxun, Chief of Staff of the 45th Army, and Sun Shengsong, Chief of Staff.

Although the shelling by the Japanese army was not over at this time, the sound of extremely violent explosions continued to come from afar.

Walking into the observation deck and standing by the observation port, Li Jiayu quickly picked up the binoculars and looked ahead.

I saw that the air stretching more than ten kilometers along the defense line along the river was already filled with gunpowder and black, as if a thunderstorm was about to break out under the cover of dark clouds.

Take a closer look, in the vast sky with dark clouds, the fighter planes of the enemy and us are chasing each other, flying up and down, engaging in an extremely fierce life-and-death battle.

Looking at the 22nd Army's defense line along the river, I saw black clouds of gunpowder smoke constantly rising from the ground, and the Devil Artillery on the opposite bank was conducting high-intensity shelling.

Due to the lack of range of light weapons and the fierce artillery fire of the Devils, most of the soldiers of the 22nd Army could only take shelter and hide in the artillery holes behind the trenches.

The rest of the people were either hiding in the strong reinforced concrete bunkers on alert and waiting for the little devil to enter the effective range before starting to rush wildly.

In addition, there are still many artillery along the defense line along the river, relying on the strong bunker fortifications to control the anti-aircraft guns to violently bombard the devil troops who are carrying out the battle across the river!

The 88mm anti-aircraft gun has excellent anti-air performance and is also extremely sharp against ground targets. The initial velocity of flat fire can reach 1000 m/s, and the longest range can reach 14.5 kilometers.

The 88mm anti-aircraft gun was the most successful artillery system used in World War II. Yang Fan also liked it very much, so he kept adding it.

The system mall is priced at 8 wealth points. Although it doesn't look like a lot, it can't stand up to the huge demand, and it consumes ammunition extremely. Even if Mr. Yang is rich and powerful, he can't stand the consumption.

So after learning from the pain, Yang Fan spent 1 million wealth points to customize an 1.5mm anti-aircraft gun production line one and a half months ago, and it has been officially put into operation in Zhucheng County, Shandong Province.

Then the field of vision extended to the other side of the river, and I saw the ghost infantry on the other side of the river pushing rafts, wooden boats, fishing boats and other tools for crossing the river, plopping into the river like dumplings.

The artillery unit of the 22nd Army, which was preset on the reverse slope of the mountain in the rear, naturally would not be used to the devil infantry. Hundreds of 155mm and 150mm howitzers roared one after another, and the shells shot straight into the sky like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Constantly exploded in the Japanese army.

The heavy gunners of the Huaxia army had already accurately measured the terrain distance on the other side of the river. At this time, the firepower was fully fired, and almost no bullets were missed.

Every shell that goes down can cause casualties to the devils, and the little devils can't help screaming.

Chapter 975 Our bomber is here too

From the current battle situation, it can be clearly seen that the devil's primary attack target is indeed set on the narrow and gentle section of the Hpa An River.

In addition, since the defense line in this section of the river is the Sichuan Army, which has always been regarded by the devils as a local miscellaneous army and a weak brigade in straw sandals, the devils naturally spent a lot of money and put on a posture that they must win.

At the very beginning, the devils not only used a large number of aircraft and heavy artillery to bombard the 22nd Army's positions along the river with high intensity, but then simultaneously launched cross-river attacks on the river section stretching several kilometers wide. The first wave of offensive troops Roughly estimated, definitely no less than an infantry regiment!

In addition, on both sides of the 22nd Army, which is the focus of the attack, the devils also assembled heavy troops to contain them, preventing the 5th Army and Huben Army on both sides from going to support the Sichuan Army.

But obviously, the little devil made a wrong calculation. The 22nd Army had already changed bicycles into motorcycles, and its weapons and equipment had long been replaced with the most advanced American equipment, including German heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and other heavy firepower.

Although the range of light weapons is still out of reach, heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns are not a problem at all. Shells are constantly exploding among the devils, harvesting the heads of the devils every moment.

Not long after the war started, I saw that the other side of the river was bombed with potholes, thick gunpowder smoke was everywhere, and corpses were faintly flying, as if it had become a hell on earth.

As the devil troops began to fight across the river, the shells began to extend backwards.

Boom boom boom, waves rose up on the surface of the river, and the rafts and boats of the devils were either directly blown to pieces, torn into sticks and pieces of wood, or trembling up and down in the turbulent waves.

Although the infantry of the two armies has not officially exchanged fire, the 22nd Army with powerful artillery has already entered the city first, causing great casualties to the Devils Crossing the River.

"These dogs, do you think our Sichuan Army is the former Sichuan Army? Can you easily eat us with your planes, tanks and cannons?"

However, seeing that the devil really concentrated all the firepower on him, Li Jiayu was not surprised but happy, clenched his fists, and roared heavily: "Brothers, hit me hard and kill all these bastards! Let these dogs know that our Sichuan Army is not easy to mess with!"

Chief of Staff Zhu Ying nodded in agreement and said: "Brother Qi Xiang is right, our 22nd Army is now considered to be strong and strong, and its weapons and equipment are no worse than those of the little devils!"

"Too relieved, good kill! These bastards want to break through from us, it is completely wishful thinking!"

Chen Dingxun was so excited when he saw it, he gave a big thumbs-up, and then said brokenly: "It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. I never dreamed that our 22nd Army would have what it is today, and it can also be so dignified. Hit all over the ground to find teeth!"

Li Jiayu smiled proudly and said: "Haha, what is the point of this? If the little devils are not beaten today, they will not give up the attack! Lao Chen, Lao Zhu, the best show is yet to come!"

"Well, we Sichuan Army Corps must feel proud today!"

"As long as you can kill the little devil quickly, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice your life for righteousness!"

Chen Dingxun and Zhu Ying looked at each other and smiled. Although as the senior generals of the Sichuan Army, it is usually not their turn to go to the front line to fight with bayonets, but when that time really comes, they will never be ambiguous!

Humming buzzing, at this moment, there was a sound of motor humming from the sky behind.

Li Jiayu hurriedly walked out of the bunker to follow the prestige, he was immediately happy, and pointed with his hand: "Great, our bomber fleet has finally come to join the battle, as long as we can get rid of the devil artillery on the other side, then we can sit back and relax! "

Because the line of defense along the river is too long, even if Yang Fan is deployed, it is impossible to build a "Maginot Line of Defense" built of reinforced concrete in a short period of time, so most of the river section can only be carried out in open-air trench fortifications. defense.

The devils concentrated a large number of heavy artillery units to shell the positions of the 22nd Army, which put a lot of pressure on the frontal defense of the 22nd Army.

Now the devils are far away, and the range of light weapons cannot reach them. They can hide in the anti-gun holes to avoid the shelling, but once the devils enter the effective range, they must stand up to the artillery fire.

Moreover, the ferocious nature of the devils is obvious to all. Li Jiayu has no doubt that once the battle goes wrong, the devils will jump over the wall so fiercely that even their own people will be bombarded and killed together!

Therefore, if they were able to fight the dumb devil's heavy artillery before then, they would be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

"Brothers, pay attention to all of them!"

After Qiao Yong, the head of the 3rd Bomber Flying Regiment, arrived at the defense line of the Hpa An River section, he said loudly to the communication channel: "I want to emphasize again, the primary attack target is the artillery positions of the devils, and I will bomb the devils crossing the river when I have time later! "

At this time, the fighter group of the Huben Army was fighting a large-scale fierce battle with the fighter group of the Devils in the air. Taking advantage of this gap, Wang Liguo sent a bombing flight regiment to support the 22nd Army.

"Roger that!"

"understand!"

The bomber pilots roared excitedly, like a group of sharks smelling blood, and rushed towards the devil artillery position on the other side of the river.

"Finally I can work happily!"

Deng Ling drove a dive bomber, took the lead and rushed to the front, and went straight to the mountain where black smoke clouds were constantly rising.

"Baga! The Huaxia bomber is here! Anti-aircraft guns, fire quickly!"

"Shoot! Hurry!"

Knowing that the Huben Army's air force is very powerful, the Devil Army will naturally not run naked, and the army is also equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

When the Flying Tigers bomber fleet flew in from a distance, the Devils air defense forces hidden in the mountains and the ground began to aim and shoot in panic.

"You little devil, don't give me your life!"

As soon as he flew to the east bank of the Salween River, a series of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets roared. Deng Ling continued to dive forward without fear. strafing.

Da da da, the four heavy machine guns sprayed out flames at the same time, and then they saw a string of bullets extending rapidly forward on the ground.

"Ah! Baga! Road!"

The devil's anti-aircraft machine gunner already felt that death was approaching rapidly, but his brutal nature did not make him drop his gun and escape, instead he continued to shoot wildly at Deng Ling with a ferocious face.

This ghost soldier actually wanted to fight Deng Lingyu to the death, and die together.

"Damn it, you want to die with me, you really think too much!"

Seeing through the devil's plan, Deng Ling didn't panic at all, and continued to dive forward and shoot!
