The battle started again, Long Weng put away his cynical expression, stood straight, staring at the boundless night silently.

Although he knew that the soldiers were all tired, the Japanese were not much better, and at this time, they must not let the other party get a breath.

The dark street fighting is very cruel. In this environment where you can't see your fingers, you can only distinguish between enemies and enemies based on the faint light, but in that dark corner, you have to roar, as long as you don't speak your own words.

The two sides had a very close combat distance, and heavy artillery had lost its function and now became the home ground for the squad mortars. The shells at large elevation angles fell to the ground one by one, and the brick wall buildings turned into a pile of rubble in the explosion.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...!"

Puff! Ah!

"Look for cover quickly! Drag the injured back!"

A heavy machine gun was installed at the corner between the two buildings and kept firing at the street in front of them. Due to angle problems, the mortar could not be hit here. A platoon that was about to assault was blocked here, and more than a dozen soldiers were already shot and killed.

"Platform leader, I can't push it anymore! What should I do?"

"Where is Bazukka?" the platoon leader asked hurriedly.

There were several brothers under him lying on the street and their lives were uncertain. The moans and screams even touched his nerves.

"I was pressed back when I came out. I couldn't hit there at this position."

The soldiers were helpless. Just now, the Bazuka team was about to step forward to knock out the fire point, but the opponent's fire blockade line was too tricky. Only one of the three went out was back, and even the Bazuka was thrown on the street.

"Grandma, cover me!"

Just as the platoon leader was about to take the lead in the attack, a fire suddenly surged into the sky at the corner of the street, and the flamethrower began to show its might. The dazzling fire dragon burned all the enemies hiding in the cover. The desolate and desperate scream was the best testimony.

"That's the three-row row!"

It turned out that the soldiers next door were attacking with flamethrowers. Countless "firemen" jumped out of the bunker with dancing hands and feet. The flames covered their bodies. The Japanese soldiers had lost their minds under the pain of burning bones and could only flee around with flames.

The soldier was about to raise his gun to shoot, but the rifle in his hand was held down by the platoon leader.

"Hey, boy, why are you in a hurry?"

The platoon leader reflected the firelight in his eyes, and a sense of pleasure arose.

Wouldn’t it be too cheap to kill this shot? They have to suffer a little and enjoy the scorching flames!

The difficult street battle has lasted for several hours, and the number of casualties has continued to rise. Both sides fought to the death for that corner, and sometimes it took a very painful price to capture a building.

The Japanese army pulled their only small number of tanks and armored vehicles to the streets and acted as fixed turrets to cover the infantry to defend.

What's even more terrifying is some outlaws who are not afraid of death. These Japanese devils are tied with explosives on their bodies, and whenever they have the chance, they will pull out the lead and rush out to die together.

Although the Japanese army had a higher combat loss rate, they had the advantage in numbers and it was dark nights. The soldiers fought very hard under this situation and the speed of advancement was not ideal.

Seeing this situation, Long Weng decisively ordered the suspension of the attack, and then arranged for artillery troops to fire a large number of smoke bombs into the city, but deliberately avoided the location of the southern city area. The purpose was self-evident.

This time, the magnesium-aluminum-containing ethyl phenylenedonide was used, but special bombs containing phenylchloroethyl ketone. The shells were filled with magnesium-aluminum, sodium nitrate, barium nitrate and other substances. After detonation, magnesium burned rapidly in the air, emitting dazzling white light containing ultraviolet rays, and at the same time emitted heat to decompose nitrates. Oxygen further promoted the combustion of magnesium and aluminum, causing a greater chain reaction.

This special bullet contains a volatile liquid odor. It can stimulate the mucosa of the eyes and nose of the sensitive parts of the person and other organs, and can also make people cry, causing a lot of tears, severe coughing, and sneezing.

Like the tower collapse, this thing was exchanged from the system by Liao Mingyu. To put it bluntly, it is tear gas bomb. Although it is not fatal, it can cause serious physiological reactions and is unbearable.

For a time, white smoke rose everywhere in Mandalay City, and the choking smoke quickly spread throughout the city. The Japanese, who had not figured out the situation, were snot and coughed continuously. In addition to being frightened, they retreated repeatedly.

They were sobbing from tear gas that they were crying, thinking that the Chinese had used biological and chemical weapons again, and for a moment, most of them ran back in panic.

Because the horrific experience during the day is really unforgettable, the tragic situation of soldiers on the defense line is still vivid in my mind, and no one wants to follow in the footsteps.

...

In the underground bunker of the Japanese Central Command, Yamashita Fengfu was sitting on a chair and rubbing his head. He looked ugly and obviously hadn't recovered from the fainting in the afternoon.

"Your Excellency Commander, we can't hold on anymore. Please order a breakout." The commander of the 64th Division hurried over and asked.

He had just received the battle report from the front. Because of the tear gas bomb, many soldiers burst into tears and breathing and coughing continuously. They thought it was the poisonous gas bomb during the day. They fled to the city or south of the city as if they were crazy. The panic made the entire army uncontrollable.

"Oh... send the order, break through to the south..."

How much can you run...

Fengwen of the Yamashita sighed helplessly. At this time, he knew that the situation was hopeless. He originally wanted to defend himself to the death and kill the Chinese as much as possible, but who would have thought that the other party would use the fearful biological and chemical weapon without martial ethics, forcing more than 10,000 people on the defense line to kill them, without even the ability to resist.

The soldier handed over the few gas masks. Yamashita Fengwen was stunned for a moment, and his expression became embarrassing. He felt very distressed when he thought of the situation on the defense line of the Irrawaddy River during the day.

Facing the poisonous gas bomb that looked like the god of death, human life was not even considered an ant in front of it, and it could only wait for death and was unable to resist.

Forget it, as the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you are not afraid of burning firewood. You can’t wait to die here in vain. Take out a short knife and commit suicide and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Obviously, Fengwen of Yamashita does not have such determination. In contrast, he is more willing to believe that it is better to live than to die well.

...

This wave of "special bullets" offensive like a mixed fish completely dispersed the Japanese army's final determination to resist. At this time, the soldiers of the Third Division who wore gas masks launched another attack and drove the Japanese to run towards the south gate.

At dawn, it was almost dawn. Fengwen at the foot of the mountain gathered the remaining troops and attacked hard at one point to the south gate. There were only two hundred people stationed here in a regiment of garrisons. The soldiers acted and fired a few shots and turned around and left without any entanglement with each other.

When the Japanese soldiers saw it, what a good guy is not helping me, so I thought there would be a bloody battle to break through, but I didn’t expect that the other party would retreat so easily. Why don’t you run away quickly?

The retreat had actually opened. The Japanese, who had been sore and had no idea about it, evacuating towards the south gate. Not counting the death or injury at night, the Japanese soldiers who still had the strength to run away must at least have tens of thousands of people. Long Wen couldn't help but take a breath.

If so many Japanese soldiers were determined to break through, they would not be able to stop them even if they were desperate, let alone if they were in the city, fortunately, the old Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain were deceived and walked out of the turtle shell.

The two sides seemed to have some tacit understanding, and they could run in front and create momentum behind. The blizzard breakout was quite smooth. Many Japanese even thought that the other party was just bluffing, but in fact they had no ability to attack Mandalay at all. Is it too arbitrary for their hurried retreat?

But soon, the artillery brigade used artillery strikes to dispel their thoughts.

Raindrop-like artillery shells kept bombarding their retreat route, and some sporadic enemies would emerge from time to time to surround them, and there were many Japanese troops ambushed.

This is the fact. Once the direction of action is determined, it is difficult to change. The fear in the Japanese army's hearts has caused this chaos to become more and more serious. Many Japanese soldiers have become frightened birds and run wildly in the forest, avoiding the bullets that came from nowhere, and not knowing when their lives will be taken away by a shot.

Have you ever thought that two years ago on this land, they were like grinding rabbits, constantly pursuing and killing the first expeditionary force that retreated from Myanmar. Now the same fate has come to them. It can be said that the feng shui is changing, and who will be spared by the sky...

After the Japanese army escaped from the Mandalay Plain, Long Weng did not send troops to continue to encircle. The Third Division directly occupied various towns and set up defense areas here. Myanmar, an important central town, was finally captured by the 88th Army.

Then... let's see how the people from the Fifty Division played the devils to death halfway.

This battle also caused a lot of casualties and losses in the third division, and rescued the wounded and supplemented supplies became the most important thing at the moment. Fortunately, Lashio, as a front-line military station, hoarded a large amount of military supplies, which was enough to meet such terrifying consumption.

The US military also mobilized a lot of supplies and medical supplies to the front line as soon as possible. What's interesting is that... the British, who had not seen him for a long time, actually sent a telegram at this time, claiming that their two infantry brigades had arrived in eastern Mandalay and could support friendly combat at any time, and requested to enter Mandalay to jointly defend.

Upon hearing the news, the 88th Army immediately rejected the self-righteous British guys. What a joke? After the war, they jumped out to pick the fruits of victory. Don’t be so ugly, right?

Liao Mingyu's reply was very simple. Since the Mandalay area has not yet completely eliminated the enemy, the Expeditionary Force is temporarily responsible for the management and cleaning. All unrelated troops are prohibited from entering and interfering, so as not to cause unnecessary losses. Otherwise, it is not ruled out that they should be expelled by force.

The Allied forces can also help, and there are still a large number of Japanese troops in southern Myanmar...especially in Yangon. If you are so idle, you can take the lead in the expeditionary army.

After all, after we have been fighting for so long, the troops have to be repaired before continuing to fight. If friendly troops are willing, please compete with the Japanese. Let us also see the courage of friendly troops, right?
