The rolling Yangtze River has become the burial place of countless Nanjing soldiers and civilians.

The bodies of soldiers were floating on the surging Yangtze River, and the river was stained red with blood.According to insiders, more than 3 Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed by the Japanese in the battle of Xiaguan, and more than 2.8 were drowned.

"It's so relieved! I didn't expect that the ghost soldier would have today!"

"Yeah, I think Xiaguan Wharf was much worse than this!"

"Are there any shells left? Hurry up, don't stop, two or three more rounds, none of these ghost soldiers will ever get back alive!"

"Damn! It's so enjoyable, it's like slaughtering chickens and dogs!"

"Hey, if the chief executive hadn't sent out a surprise soldier to rescue him in times of crisis, how could we have seen today's victory?"

"That's right, our boss is really a god!"

"..."

At this moment, facing the scene in front of them, many officers and soldiers who participated in the defense of Nanjing and survived couldn't help but think of the painful experience back then.

The Chinese officers and soldiers who had never experienced it were full of enthusiasm, looking forward to several more intense concentrated fire bombardments to knock down all these devil soldiers who were fleeing for their lives.

"Haha, well done guys!"

"The ghost soldier was frightened by us and is running away desperately!"

"Quick, quick, load the ammunition, and after filling, the landing point extends forward for more than 200 meters!"

"After the last round of concentrated fire, all self-propelled artillery retreat immediately!"

After listening to the report of the results of the frontline observers, Sun Anshan, the head of the rocket launcher, was grinning from ear to ear. He never dreamed that the rocket launcher unit would achieve such an amazing record when it debuted for the first time.

The devil army of over ten thousand was beaten and collapsed by several rounds of shelling in this way, and they fled all over the ground looking for teeth, and the current shelling effect has killed four or five thousand devil soldiers!

This has to be said to be an unprecedented victory, a shocking miracle of war!

"Good Le!"

"Brothers work harder!"

Hearing this, a group of rocket artillery officers and soldiers were full of energy and filled the ammunition as quickly as possible.

"The rocket launcher is really shocking and enjoyable, but the consumption of ammunition is unbearable! Otherwise,..."

Li Zongren took a deep breath, and fired 1 rounds of heavy artillery in less than an hour. This consumption rate is simply burning a lot of money.

Yang Fan said with a smile: "This time, the devil was caught off guard, and it will not be easy to find such a good opportunity in the future!

The rocket artillery force needs to be further vigorously developed. At that time, not only the Huben Army, but also the 31st Army and the 22nd Army will also equip the rocket artillery force in an appropriate amount! "

Although the rocket launcher unit is not omnipotent, Yang Fan knows that in future large-scale battles, having a powerful rocket launcher unit will definitely be an extremely sharp killing trump card.

But for Yang Fan, rocket launchers are not the only arms and technical equipment that urgently need to be vigorously developed.Airplanes, tanks, and warships are actually more fragrant than others!

Chapter 997 The Whole World Is Quiet

"Baga! The shells are coming again!"

"Run!"

"Help! I don't want to die!"

"God Amaterasu, help me!"

The river surface that the devils chose to attack belongs to the relatively narrow section of the middle and lower reaches, but the average width is also 500 meters wide.

From the beginning of the retreat to the arrival of the third round of focused fire, it took more than 20 minutes for the first wave of devil soldiers to go into the water and escape to the east bank, so the fast-running devil soldiers had already landed on the east bank one after another by this time.

However, just when they all felt that they were about to escape and ascend to the sky, the third set of rocket launchers finally fell from the sky, exploding crazily one after another.

Boom boom boom, this time the rocket artillery coverage is mainly concentrated on the surface of the Salween River and the devils' positions on the east bank of the river, just hitting the area where the devils are most concentrated.

As rockets that were a little stronger than the explosion power of the 155mm howitzer exploded crazily, an absolute death radius was formed.

Countless metal fragments and overpressure shock waves flying around were like death harvesters, and the exposed Japanese soldiers fell one by one, some were directly blown into pieces, some were blown to pieces, and some were blown to pieces. Flying into the air, some lay on the ground and were shocked to death.

They came and went in a hurry, and the earth-shattering explosion lasted only about 20 or [-] seconds, but it brought disaster to the fleeing devil infantry.

After the shelling ended, the whole world suddenly became quiet. The surface of the Salween River and the tidal flats on the east bank were dead silent. Both the enemy and us were dumbfounded. The entire Salween River defense line became surprisingly quiet!

Only the billowing gunpowder smoke covering the sky and the suffocating strong smell of blood still reminded both the enemy and ourselves that they had just experienced a terrible feast of massacres.

"It's over! It's over!"

Hebian Zhengsan's eyes were lost, staring blankly at the gray world ahead, his eyes completely lost focus, and his whole body seemed to have suddenly petrified and turned into a clay sculpture.

It has to be said that the last wave of concentrated fire and bombing was too terrible. The third-class devils at the river side watched thousands of imperial soldiers fleeing to ascend to heaven, thinking how to recover some blood.

But at the moment when the third-class old devils by the river were full of hope, a round of fierce and precise artillery coverage directly shattered their illusions and luck, and it was like stabbing a few knives in the heart.

"Baga, Lu! Damn Huaxia people, you must die! The Empire of Japan will definitely not let you go! Pfft!..."

Once again, he fell into Yang Fan's hands fiercely, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. old blood.

"Ah, Your Excellency Commander!"

"Military doctor! Military doctor! Come quickly!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, please wake up!"

Zhengsan by the river was so angry that he vomited blood, and then his body became weak, and he collapsed crookedly, which made the high-ranking devil officials around him anxious, and hurriedly started to work.

"Baga! How could this happen!"

Lieutenant General Seki Kameji, the commander of the Japanese 20th Army, was also dumbfounded at this time. Just half an hour ago, he also saw that the 19th Army had broken through the defense line of the 22nd Army, and more than 1 imperial soldiers had been firmly established. When standing on the West Bank.

It seems that the only thing we need to do is to continue to fight steadily, and we can completely tear through the Salween River defense line and further open the mouth of the Salween River, so that the Burmese dispatched army can attack Yangon all the way, and further attack with the 18th Army from north to south. the whole of Myanmar.

But ideals are full of reality, and everything in front of us has changed completely in just over half an hour. More than 1 imperial soldiers were completely lost under the cover of sudden and terrifying artillery fire. Keep!

Such a terrifying group of powerful artillery is beyond the imagination of Guan Guizhi. The whole person is shocked and fearful. His mind is blank. He can't sort out his thoughts and calm down. He looks stupidly at the battlefield filled with gunpowder in the distance. .

"Baga! How could the Chinese army have such a powerful heavy artillery group? What are our intelligence departments doing for food!"

The Chief of Staff of the 20th Army, Major General Nakura Kan, was trembling all over. In addition to the shock and fear, there was also a deep sense of gratitude in his heart.

That's right, watching the 19th Army being bombed so brutally that there was no room for resistance, Nakura Kan was morbidly happy in his heart after being afraid: Damn, fortunately today's main attacking force is the 19th Army, not their 20th Army [-] Army.

Otherwise, the 20th Army will only end up in the same fate and die an ugly death.

Headquarters of Japan-Myanmar Expeditionary Forces in Tak Province, Thailand.

Kimura Heutaro pointed to the military map and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the Northern Route Army is currently attacking very smoothly with the cooperation of the Imperial Air Force, and has successively conquered several outer defense lines of the 6th Army and the 66th Army of the Kuomintang.

The imperial warriors of the 18th Army are advancing further towards the four towns of Taunggyi, Namsang, Gunsin, and Kengdong.If nothing else, it won't be long before breakthroughs can be made again. "

"well!"

Umezu Yoshijiro said again: "Mr. Kimura, please explain to me in detail the comparison of the number of troops and technical equipment between the North and South battlefields."

"Hay."

Kimura Heitaro nodded quickly, picked up the wooden pole, pointed at the sand table and began to explain:

?Kimura Heutaro added: "The northern battlefield, that is, in the direction of Shan State, the imperial army has 1 army, 3 A divisions and 1 B division, with a total strength of about 12.

In the northern battlefield, there are mainly the 6th Army, the 66th Army, and the 71st Army of the National Army, as well as the two newly formed Huben Army on the second line of defense. About 25 people.

The 18th Army and the 6th Army of the National Army, which stood in front of the 66th Army, although their technical equipment surpassed the Imperial Army, the combat effectiveness of these two National Army troops was far inferior to the Imperial Army!

The 18th Army can completely break through and defeat the 6th Army and the 66th Army in a short period of time, and firmly stand on the front line of Jingdong, Dongzhi. "

"The southern battlefield currently has 3 armies and 12 divisions in the empire with a total strength of more than 35 troops, while the total strength of the Chinese army that is facing it is more than 26.

In terms of military strength, the imperial army in the southern battlefield has an absolute advantage.

In terms of technical equipment, the imperial army includes 12 75mm caliber field artillery regiments plus two 150mm caliber independent field heavy artillery regiments, and two independent tank regiments, one of which is a Type [-] medium tank regiment.

The technical equipment of the Huaxia troops in the entire southern battlefield is not obviously weaker than that of the imperial army, and it is indeed a bit tricky because of its defensive advantage.

However, with the help of the powerful Imperial Japanese Navy Task Force and the Imperial Air Force on the southern battlefield, it is not difficult to break through the mouth of the Salween River.

According to current intelligence, under the coordinated operations of the Imperial Navy, the 15th Army has broken through Bilu Island and is consolidating its position on Bilu Island. Soon, it will be able to further attack the city of Moulmein and the Fortress of Moulmein from north to south. "

"Yo Xi."

Umezu Yoshijiro shook his head and said with a smile, "Kimura-kun, please continue."

Chapter 998 Shocking Bad News

"Hay!"

Seeing Umezu Yoshijiro's sweet smile, Kimura Hyoutaro can naturally understand Umezu Yoshijiro's current mood, and said with a smile:

"The Northern Route Army and the Southern Army have absolute crushing strength. Although the Huaxia Expeditionary Army has relatively deep technical equipment, the industrial base in northern Myanmar is almost completed.

But once the war broke out, the technical equipment of the imperial army and the Chinese Expeditionary Army would be severely consumed, and the imperial army could supplement the consumption to the greatest extent with the huge industrial system of the empire.

The Huaxia Expeditionary Army can only rely on the U.S. government's efforts to supply across the ocean and the meager production capacity of the northern Myanmar industrial base, and it will certainly not be able to compete with the Imperial Japanese Army for a long time. "

After a pause, Kimura Heutaro concluded: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Yang Fan and the Chinese Huben Army led by him are indeed extremely difficult opponents.

But this Chinese commander, whom His Majesty the Emperor dubbed the mortal enemy of the empire, is just a mere mortal after all, without the ability to turn beans into soldiers. He will eventually be defeated by your hands in this battle in Burma.

And after defeating the Chinese Expeditionary Army and occupying Burma, your personal reputation will inevitably rise to an unprecedented height, whether it is Terauchi Shouichi, Nishio Hiszou, Okamura Ningji, or Ishihara Wanji, they have already taken over Not enough to match yours.

At that time, you should be able to be promoted to the field marshal of the Empire as a matter of course. "

"Yoshi! Kimura-kun, you are serious."

Hearing this, Umezu Yoshijiro's heart felt as cool and smooth as if Junetian had eaten a popsicle. So many high-ranking generals in the empire were defeated by Yang Fan.

But he, Umezu Yoshijiro, can defeat this hateful Chinese commander, he is the best in the world!

"The victory in the Burmese war this time is all due to the concerted efforts of the soldiers of the three armies. How can I have any credit?"

Although it has been a long time since I faced the Imperial Marshal in my heart, but this is still the Han Ambie who should pretend to be forced. Umezu Yoshijiro said insincerely: "There is no way to be able to compete with Terauchi-kun and Okamura-kun. , Nishio-kun and the others?

As for things like being promoted to Marshal, there is no need to mention it, I am not qualified at all, it is impossible. "

Umezu Yoshijiro deliberately did not mention the prestigious Kwantung Army Commander Ishihara Wanji, because not only Ishihara Wanji’s low EQ is easy to offend people, but also because Umezu Yoshijiro was pushed down by Ishihara Waner from the throne of Kwantung Army commander , Umezu Yoshijiro has always been brooding about this.

Fortunately, the 15th Army's attack on Burma did not go smoothly and suffered a great loss. The Japanese base camp was determined to form the Burmese Expeditionary Army, otherwise Umezu Yoshijiro would still be sulking in a corner now!

However, just as Umezu Yoshijiro and Kimura Heutaro were bragging about each other in the war room and waiting for further news of victory, there was a burst of panicked footsteps in the corridor outside the war room door.

With a creak, the wooden door of the war room was suddenly pushed open, and then Musashi Nishikawa, the devil's communication staff officer, rushed in in a daze, and said anxiously: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the 19th Army urgently calls!"

"Baga! As a high-ranking military officer of the empire, how can you be so flustered?"

Umezu Yoshijiro, who was in high spirits, immediately collapsed, staring at Musashi Nishikawa in extreme displeasure, but he didn't reach out to answer the telegram.

"Hayi! Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief taught you a lesson, you lost your composure!"

Musashi Nishikawa shivered suddenly, only then remembered that his immediate boss was a decisive and ruthless character, he quickly bowed slightly to Umezu Yoshijiro, and nodded sincerely to admit his mistake.

"Nishikawa-kun just pay more attention in the future!"

Heitaro Kimura acted as a peacemaker, took the telegram with a smile and read it.

"Nani? How could this be?"

After just a few glances, the smile on Kimura Heutaro's face froze instantly, showing a look of hell, staring at Musashi Nishikawa and saying, "Is this information correct?"

Nishikawa Musashi quickly said in an affirmative tone: "Report to Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, we have conducted multiple verifications, and this information is absolutely unmistakable!"

"Baga! Can this hateful Chinese man really know magic? Great God Amaterasu, what is going on!"

Hearing this, Kimura Heutaro's last trace of luck was instantly shattered, he felt as if a basin of icy snow water was poured from head to toe, and his whole body became cool from inside to outside.

"Kimura-kun, what happened?"

Umezu Yoshijiro also saw something was wrong at this time, and quickly grabbed the telegram and read it at a glance.

"Nani? The troops crossing the river of the 19th Army were covered by new artillery fire, and more than 1 imperial soldiers were completely damaged in just over half an hour?"

"How is this possible? How could the Chinese army have such a powerful heavy artillery cluster?"

"Hasn't the Imperial Air Force already wiped out Huaxia's heavy artillery?"

"There must be something wrong!"

Umezu Yoshijiro just felt dizzy. He didn't wait for the promised victory and great victory, but he waited for the shocking news of the Emperor's Soldier, which was worse than the previous defeat of the 15th Army in the riverside melee.

More than [-] imperial soldiers are nothing compared to the entire Burmese dispatched army and the Burmese battle, but the key point is that the desperately powerful new artillery cluster mentioned in this telegram shocked Umezu Yoshijiro deeply. and fear.
