The scorching sun was scorching in the sky, and the scorched earth splashed everywhere. The soldiers around were all covered in dust and looked like yam eggs. If they stood up and jumped a few times now, they would probably shake two kilograms of soil off their bodies.

Qiu Changfu wiped his face casually, and sweat and dirt were no longer distinguished from each other. The soldiers beside him fell down one by one. He no longer remembered the Japanese attack.

There were more corpses outside the position, and the Japanese had to pay a considerable price for every step forward, but they turned a blind eye to it, with the only purpose of breaking into the village.

The resistance in the village also made the Japanese unable to understand the details. Logically speaking, there were not many Chinese people there, but the other party's attitude was too unbelievable... Could it be that the information was wrong and there was a big fish inside?

The Japanese, who were unaware of their own guesses, had either an important person or an important material or a close document in the opposite Chinese team. Anyway, it was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

This small mountain village is not large in size, and the direction of the Japanese attack is very limited. The most annoying thing is that the open area has become a shooting range for the opponent to practice guns.

Especially the two armored vehicles were unable to fight and could not get close to each other, so they could only watch them keep firing and firing, and countless soldiers fell under their guns.

However, the only 192 infantry cannon that could threaten him could not keep up with the other party's footsteps. There were wheels under his feet, and he almost immediately changed his position after firing rounds. The shells he shot passed by every time, which really made the Japanese artillery angry.

In this case, either use the number of people to break through the damn open land in front of you, or pull a heavy artillery and bombard it with a wild bombardment to completely destroy the opponent's firepower point.

But it is obvious that the Japanese army lacking heavy weapons can choose the first method. The Japanese commander seemed to be more active. Regardless of the casualties of the troops, he had to shovel the place before he could stop.

"The Japanese are here again, and I'm cheering up!" Qiu Changfu clearly saw through the bunker observation mouth that the Japanese are rushing towards the position again in formation.

After several symbolic shellings, a new wave of attacks was begun again.

This kind of attack that did not give a chance to breathe was too tormenting, forcing them to no longer have time to set up minefields, so they could only cheer up and respond passively.

The consumption of physical strength and energy is not the most terrifying, and the morale of the soldiers is slowly being eroded by these waves of attacks.

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

The sudden dense bullets on the battlefield were intertwined together, forming a firepower net that devoured life. This was not only a battle of weapons, but also a battle of willpower between the two sides.

In order to deal with the enemy's terrifying fire blockade, the Japanese army no longer made a pig-bump charge, but extended the scattered line. Every time they advanced for a distance, they would stop and look for craters or companions' bodies to cover them, and took the opportunity to set up fire points to counterattack.

Although it seemed that the attacks of the previous few times were not as fierce as the speed of the rushing speed became extremely slow, the Japanese casualties were minimized, and the entire propulsion process did not stop at all, and they were gradually approaching the position.

This wave of attack lasted for half an hour and the Japanese suddenly became "repulsive" and made the soldiers very uncomfortable. The two sides were more like shooting at each other on the battlefield. The Japanese's superb shooting skills did bring considerable losses. The soldiers' powerful firepower also suppressed the opponent's steps, which was a stagnant moment.

The inexperienced soldiers of the Transportation Regiment did not understand the Japanese's intentions, but just thought that the opponent had suffered heavy casualties and was powerless. They still continued to shoot endlessly and tried to force the opponent back with firepower.

But no matter how powerful the defense line is, there will be fire gaps. Logistics soldiers who do not know how to control the firepower output soon encountered problems. Before the rear ammunition was delivered, the bullet boxes around them were empty. In addition, the continuous shooting caused many machine gun barrels to overheat, and the spare barrels must be replaced. However, they were not very skilled in operation, but they were in a hurry.

For a moment, the firepower intensity on the position suddenly decreased, which made the cunning Japanese finally get a chance.

...

In the underground main control room of Heihe Base, Liao Mingyu stood alone in it, staring at the large snowflake screen without blinking.

The screen shows a detailed topographic map of central Myanmar, as well as the current locations of each unit, and the remnants of the transportation regiment besieged by the Japanese army in Xigao Village were also among them.

On the Eastern Front, the 50th Division and the 200th Division advanced eastward to Siam and confronted the Japanese Fourth Division in Chiang Mai area. For this reason, the Japanese army mobilized a large number of air forces from the fleet to help in the war.

The 20th Air Force of the US Army fully supported the operation in the region. All combat squadrons rushed to eastern Myanmar at a very fast speed and assembled at the Heihe Air Force Base. The newly formed 17th Air Force also placed its command at the Heihe Airport. A large number of military aircraft flew here from India every day, and war preparation supplies filled the warehouse.

Several other Japanese troops stationed in Siam also rushed to the border area between Myanmar and Siam. The 1st Division and the 2nd Division of the Siam Defense Army were also here. The scene became extremely hot. More than 100,000 troops gathered here in just one week, and the war was about to break out.

On the other hand, the Battle of Ren'anqiang was almost over. The third main force led the way to attack the 533 Highlands and sneaked into the Japanese rear command at night, causing the defenders on the two fronts of the opponent to be disorganized, and the subsequent severe retreat was followed.

The next morning, the main force of the Third Regiment entered the central area of ​​Ren'anqiang, and the Armored Brigade also broke through the 501 Highland Defense Line almost at the same time. The two armies successfully met in Dading Mountain of Ren'anqiang and gradually cleaned up the Japanese army in the residential area.

The remaining Japanese troops continued to resist with civilian housing, hoping to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, but all this was destined to be futile.

The two mixed brigades supported by the Japanese army north were blocked by Long Weng in the Magui area south of the country and could not move. It was only a matter of time before the demise of Ren'anqiang defenders were destroyed.

The situation was always very good, but there was a problem with the transportation regiment. Now the situation has been roughly clear. There were more than 2,000 Japanese troops who were interspersed and surrounded. They entered Mandalay from Magui Province as a squadron, and then went north to complete the assembly. The purpose was to destroy the logistics of the 88th Army's front-line troops.

After defeating the vanguard of the transport regiment, the Japanese army did not stop. On the one hand, they besieged the remnants of the transport regiment, and the others continued to head north to occupy the Mitela Logistics Battalion.

Mitella's garrison had only one company and could not resist the Japanese attack. In order to prevent a large amount of supplies from being obtained by the enemy, they had to blow up all tons of ammunition and supplies, which made someone feel so distressed.

As the situation suddenly turned, the main forces of the Third Division, the Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the Armored Brigade were all besieging Ren'anqiang. Once the rear was cut off, they could not get supplies at all. The huge ammunition consumption every day was enough to drag down the entire army.

If the situation does not improve, the front-line troops will only face the plan to withdraw, but at this moment the Japanese reinforcements have already surrounded them. This situation is not something that can be withdrawn just by wanting to.

Those heavy artillery and tanks cannot leave just like humans, and if they continue to be stalemate for a long time, the Third Division and the Armored Brigade are more likely to suffer an extremely tragic defeat.

Knowing that Hong Mu had suffered a huge disaster, he took the initiative to lead his troops to return to the rescue, but was rejected by Chen Jize on the spot. It would be strange if you, a dissatisfied chariot regiment who had no infantry cooperation, went back rashly and failed to get into an ambush. Do you think the matter was not big enough?

Chen Jize immediately contacted Long Weng for discussion. The current situation could only suspend the front-line offensive first. The Third Division retreated the first main regiment and the second main regiment to Ren'anqiang to first solve the remaining enemies, and at the same time sent a fast mobile force to return to the aid as soon as possible.

When their response strategies and combat requests were sent to Liao Mingyu's office, the remnants of the transportation regiment besieged in the mountain village had been fighting with Japan for a long time, and the situation was very critical.

In fact, at this time of crisis, Liao Mingyu can not mobilize many troops. Once the Japanese army eats this unit, the next step will be to block all transportation lines and completely cut off the ground logistics of the Third Division and the Armored Brigade. It will be stuck in your throat like a fish bone. If you can't kill you, you will be sad.

Qiu Changfu sent several telegrams for help. Everyone knew that a brother army was besieged in Xigao Village near Mitela. Perhaps it was too late to send troops now, but it was impossible to refuse to save him. Besides, there was half of the military supplies of the front-line troops there, and it would be a waste if they were taken away by the Japanese.

Long Wenhua has organized a group of reinforcements to rush to the trapped area, but according to the location, it will take two days to get there. I don’t know if I will encounter an ambush in the middle. Mandalay and Lashio are all second-line troops, and the distance is too far beyond reach.

However, there is not a complete solution at the moment. Liao Mingyu immediately mobilized Jamie's air team to support, and then drew two battalions from the guard regiment, led by Hao Zhigang to the Xigao Village rescue and transportation regiment. The defense work in the base selected 2,000 people from the recruit battalion to fill the vacancy.

However, it is nearly 200 kilometers from Heihe to Xigao Village, and I can't count on it for a while. I'm afraid that Qiu Changfu and the others will be eaten by the Japanese when they arrive.
Chapter completed!
