Chapter 411
As the saying goes, when a cannon fires, tens of thousands of tons of shells cover the Japanese army in just over ten minutes, and the firepower continues. No unit in China can carry out such a large-scale continuous artillery attack, which means that the rich Americans and the systematic support of Liao Mingyu are not distressed.
The shelling lasted for half an hour, and there was almost no complete balcony in the entire Myitkyina city. All the buildings were turned into rubble in the ruins of the building, and countless corpses buried deep underneath were countless.
Many Japanese soldiers who were blown up and broke their hands and legs fell into the wreckage and kept wailing, but no one could save them at this moment. Just like the end of the world, the air seemed to be filled with a breath of despair.
Just as the artillery was stopped, the armored troops had already begun to take action. Sun Liren's new 38th Division tank regiment had even more armored forces than Liao Mingyu, and they were also the first troops to rush into Myitkyina.
The gunshots are still echoing in the city, and there are still many figures in the ruins fighting stubbornly. The Japanese are like cockroaches that cannot be killed. No matter how terrifying and unsolvable firepower you have, they can always survive in the cracks.
Some people hid in the tunnel fortress and hid for a while. After the enemy entered the city, they immediately came out to fight back. However, the somewhat desperate Japanese soldiers... silently pointed their guns at their heads.
At present, it is meaningless for the Japanese army to defend or not. They are just making the final desperate struggle to maintain the so-called dignity and glory. In particular, some radical grassroots officers tried their best to encourage the soldiers and the enemy to burn together.
However, this behavior is destined to be useless. At around 9 o'clock in the morning, the 38th Division of the Indian Army passed the long river in the north, and thirteen Shermans of the tank regiment rushed into Myitkyina as fast as possible. The 112 and 132 infantry regiments quickly followed up, and the troops headed straight to the last line of defense in the northern part of the Japanese army.
Then the New 22nd Division and Mai Detachment also attacked from the flanks, ruthlessly crushing the Japanese army with the momentum of Mount Tai.
The two main regiments of the Third Honor Division followed closely behind. Almost as the Indian army invaded the city, Yuan Li's armored battalion also broke through the Japanese positions, and the defense line arranged by the Japanese almost did not play any blocking role.
To the east... Yu Xiaoqing personally went to the front line to command his Yu army to take the lead, Zhang Lixian, He Shuguang and others led their respective troops to lead and rushed towards the target.
At around 10:00, the outer defense line of the Japanese army's urban area was disintegrated, and few Japanese left retreated to the central area and continued to resist with the tunnels and some fortresses.
Buzz…!
The roar of the fighter engine crossed the sky, and at the same time, it dropped bombs one after another, blowing all the Japanese soldiers hiding in the ruins into meat paste.
Tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns ruthlessly blasted around the face, not giving the other party any chance to resist. Except for those outlaws who carried explosive packs to commit suicide attacks, they could basically not stop the advance of various armies.
"Report to the Commander, the communication with the Fifth Battalion was interrupted. The Ninth Battalion retreated less than 200 times. The Second Junior Satoshi was broken, and all the soldiers under his command were killed."
"The 139th Regiment has retreated to Xichangkou. Colonel Yamaguchi was seriously injured by enemy planes. Chief of Staff Sasaki died. The enemy vanished less than two streets away from us."
"Master Yoshino has led the suicide squad to the front..."
The fatal battle reports were sent to the hands of the city defense commander Kiyosaburo Okazaki, but he closed his eyes and turned a blind eye. He knelt quietly on the cloth pad and looked stunned.
The dust on the top of the head kept falling, and the reinforced concrete wall was trembling with shock, as if it would collapse at any time.
There were few people in the command center, and basically all those who could move were sent out. There was only one adjutant left beside the commander of the lieutenant general, and even the telegraph soldiers were fighting for their lives with explosives bags.
Okazaki Kiyosaki slowly raised his head. When he saw the sun flag hanging on the wall and the four big words Wu Yun Changlong on the top, his heart was already filled with coldness.
Pulling out the samurai sword in front of him, Okazaki narrowed his eyes and looked at the white-lighted blade, and asked casually: "Are everything arranged?"
Adjutant Saito immediately replied respectfully: "Hey, please don't worry, you are ready, all the wing flags and important documents are destroyed, and we will launch the final Jade Broken attack in five minutes!"
"Yoxi, the cherry blossoms are about to bloom and its last glory, Saito-kun, please!"
"Hiss Commander..."
Okazaki laughed at herself and raised her hand to stop Saito's words. He knew very well that it would be a death to go to this point. Instead of rushing out and being beaten to pieces by machine guns and shells, or being tortured by Chinese people after being captured, it would be better to die more decent.
At around 2 p.m., the army of various groups basically completed the urban cleaning. In the face of extremely superior forces, the Japanese devils who stubbornly resisted surrender became rotten meat on the ground. They could no longer be seen in the devastated ruins, except for the broken limbs and broken arms scattered all over the ground.
"Planer leader, look! There is a Japanese stronghold in front of you!"
A team of Indian soldiers wearing M1 helmets, holding Springfield rifles and Thomson, who had just turned in from the corner of the street and saw a three-story cement building in front of them, with many Japanese plaster flags inserted on it. Although the floor was smashed by shells, the main body still stood in place.
"Be good, we may have found the Japanese command center, haha! Lao Sun, take the third squad to touch the bottom!"
The leading lieutenant smiled happily and kept repeating his luck. If he broke in and captured a few Japanese officials, he would make a fortune.
Four or five soldiers immediately took the lead, and the other few pressed them down, and quickly touched the watchtower under the leadership of the squad leader. There was an open space in front. Just as they were moving through the bunker and towards the door, a burst of gunfire suddenly came.
"Da da da da da da da da!"
Pupu puff... The fastest-running soldiers were beaten into sieve and killed on the spot. Before the other people could dodge, two grenades exploded beside them. The ten-person infantry squad was instantly reimbursed. The platoon leader not far away felt so heartbroken.
"There are enemies upstairs!"
"I see clearly, two heavy machine guns are all in the south corner of the third floor!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Da da da da da da da...!"
I thought the Japanese army had no more resistance, but unexpectedly, black muzzles suddenly popped out from the holes in the walls and shot them desperately without saying a word.
"Don't gather together! Look for cover!" The platoon leader quickly shot at the top of the building and asked his subordinates to scatter and hide.
The bullet hit the wall and made a thud. The soldiers hurriedly avoided it. Many people were hit and fell into a pool of blood in the chaos.
"Hide me and wait for support!" the platoon leader leaned behind the wall and shouted loudly.
