Not long after Wang Changhe's troops began to retreat, heavy rain began. As usual, Wang Changhe wanted to give the soldiers some rest. After all, the soldiers fought for one night last night and should have rested.≧

But it is raining now and the ground is wet. In addition, it is very close to the Japanese. Once they are bitten by the Japanese, the troops cannot escape at all. Therefore, Wang Changhe can only order the troops to retreat. On the way to retreat, the soldiers from the logistics department have already soaked noodles. The soldiers of the marching army took the soaked noodles and ate them while walking. After eating, they arrived in front of them, and there was a special place to collect bowls.

"I'm so hungry after eating something. Fortunately, there is instant noodles now, so it would take a lot of time!" Wang Changhe walked to the place where the instant noodles were served and served a bowl. There were 2 tofu fermented tofu and some pickles in it.

Wang Changhe picked up the chopsticks and started eating while walking. Although it rained, the rain would fall into the bowl, the soldiers didn't care. Just be able to eat enough, let alone hot.

The soldiers all took a bite, chewed, then walked, swallowed it, and then picked up a chopstick with chopsticks and continued to eat.

"It's really good. I heard that the commander made it." Xu Zhuoyue said while eating behind.

"Well, it was made by Brother Bin. This thing is so convenient. Fortunately, it is stored and transported. As long as there are pickles, you can fill your stomach. Two pieces of noodles for one soldier is enough!" Wang Changhe nodded and said.

"However, when it's noon, we still have to let the soldiers rest. If we don't have to rest, we can't stand it!" Xu Zhuoyue said.

"Well, that's definitely something I want!" Wang Changhe nodded.

Hu Bin, who was in the command center, learned that the troops had retreated safely and it was raining heavily there. He felt relaxed and knew that there would be no accidents in this battle. The troops who were supporting were also ready. As long as they arrived in Banmao, they would be basically safe.

Yamashita Tobuki was not that easy. They just arrived at the place where the tanks were ambushed last night. They saw many frames and destroyed tanks on the road, and most of the tanks were destroyed on the road.

Yamashita Bongmoto jumped out of the car in surprise. At this time, many engineers were already pushing the car to the side of the road to ensure that the convoy behind could pass smoothly.

"Damn it, it was hit by armor-piercing bombs. Chinese troops had armor-piercing bombs!" Yamashita Tomoto inspected the tanks and found a hole on the side of the tanks. At a glance, he knew that it was hit by armor-piercing bombs.

"Even if there are armor-piercing bombs, it is impossible to hit our tanks so quickly. Look, most of the tanks were destroyed on the road, which means that our tanks were hit without reacting at all!" The Chief of Staff said, looking at Yamashita Tomoto.

"Yoxi, China has very accurate anti-tank weapons, it must be like this. No wonder we can't contact our troops. Because their attack speed is too fast, Hu Bin's troops can't be underestimated!" Yamashita Tomoto nodded and said.

"Hi!" the Chief of Staff nodded.

"Report, we found the infantry corps commander of the Armored Brigade and are now rushing here." A staff officer came over to report.

"Bring it here!" Yamashita Fengwen heard it and immediately shouted. He wanted to know what happened last night and why an armored brigade was defeated by Hu Bin's troops so quickly.

"Hi!" The staff officer immediately went to inform. More than ten minutes later, the infantry corps captain came.

"Report to the commander!" The captain of the corps stood at attention and said.

"What's going on? Why is our tank troops destroyed so quickly? What's going on? Tell me about it!" Yamashita Tomoto looked at him and asked.

"When we marched last night, there were a lot of Chinese troops on the side, which was on the right. At first, we didn't know what was going on, but we saw a big explosion in the tanks in front of us. Then our car was also hit and an explosion occurred. Many of our soldiers who were still relying on cars to cover them, and there were heavy casualties.

After being attacked, our troops immediately counterattacked the hill, but it was useless at all. The enemy's firepower was very strong, all of which were machine guns. Our soldiers were shot and had no chance to shoot, and our tank troops were not left at this time.

I hid in the ditch and found that many of the Chinese troops were carrying a gun barrel and firing at our tanks. The shooting speed was very fast and the firepower was very strong. In less than half an hour, our brigade suffered heavy casualties, all the tanks were destroyed, and there were not many infantry.

I had no choice but to take the remaining troops to retreat back and hide in the opposite forest. In the end, there were less than 300 people who retreated!" The team leader began to report to Fengwen at the foot of the mountain.

"You said they used something similar to a gun barrel to shoot at our tanks very fast. By the way, their firepower is very strong?" Yamashita Tobuki asked as he looked at the captain of the regiment.

"Hi!" The captain of the regiment nodded.

"What kind of weapon is it?" Yamashita Takamoto thought about it at this time.

"I don't know what kind of weapon is specific, but I found that two people can operate this weapon, and the accuracy is very high. Look at the tanks over there, they originally wanted to set a distance, but it was useless, but they were still destroyed. From the road to this side, they were all destroyed within 100 meters of distance.

This ambush our troops did not give us any chance to deal with our tanks as quickly as possible. Our infantry was still on the road and had no way to fight with Chinese troops. The firepower was too strong.

I guess they are similar to Wei Lihuang's troops equipped with weapons. We have seized them on the battlefield and can shoot in a lit point or continuous shooting. This time, all the troops who ambush our troops are equipped with this kind of weapon." The captain of the corps nodded and said to Fengwen of Yamashita.

Fengwen of the mountain was following the position he pointed at and saw several tanks being destroyed on the way back and parked in the grass.

"Yoxi, this weapon was invented by China, we have known it for a long time! Okay, you go down first." Yamashita Tomoto nodded and said to the captain of the regiment.

He had no intention of dealing with the regiment captain. They had tried their best. Anyone who commanded it would have the same effect!

"Commander, so we really may not be able to beat China now, otherwise the base camp would not negotiate with China." The chief of staff heard this and looked at Yamashita Tomoto with great frustration.

"Watching is a win, but the price paid is huge. It is not cost-effective for our empire, hey!" Yamashita Fengfu heard it and sighed.

"Let's go, keep moving forward. When we arrive in Mandalay, I will go to Yangon. The commander will definitely not let me go. I will take full responsibility for this failure." Yamashita Tomoto nodded and said.

After a while, their troops arrived in Xibu. At this time, there was no sign of the Chinese troops here, and there were still many places in Xibu, and although it was raining heavily, the fire was not extinguished so quickly!

Yamashita Fengwen ordered his troops to clean up the place, clean up the soldiers' bodies, and then buried them. The large troops continued to march and rushed to Mandalay.

While on the road, Baiwu Haruki rushed over and reported to Fengwen of Yamashita's specific situation of the battle last night. Fengwen of Yamashita did not dare to underestimate Hu Bin's troops anymore, and he had no intention of chasing Hu Bin's troops. It would be useless to catch up with him. If he was ambushed by Hu Bin's troops, the casualties would be even greater.

Moreover, Okamura Yasuji also gave him an order that the troops would return to Mandalay quickly and could not continue to fight.

At this time, the heavy rain was still drizzling, but Feng Wen at the foot of the mountain did not dare to order the soldiers to rest because he didn't know if Hu Bin's troops would appear again, so he should arrive at Xibu immediately before talking.

However, at this time, in Chongqing, Jiang Tongshun and the senior cadres were still dealing with the United States, Britain and Japan. The United States proposed new conditions, willing to pay China's 200 million meters of free aid in advance, and willing to provide an interest-free loan of 300 million meters of gold. In addition, it agreed to export equipment to China, especially military equipment. Vice Commander Zhou, as a representative of Yan'an, was also invited to participate in the negotiations.

"Report, Commander's Telegram!" At this time, when Commander Jiang was negotiating with the United States and the United Kingdom representatives, an adjutant entered the conference room with the telegram and said in Commander Jiang's ear.

Commander Jiang took the telegram and started to read it carefully.

"Okay, you're good at fighting!" After seeing the telegram, Commander Jiang laughed.

Wright, Stilwell and Chinese cadres all looked at him.

"General Stilwell, General Wright, I just received a telegram from our Expeditionary Force. Last night, our Chinese Expeditionary Force annihilated the 18th Division of the Japanese in Xibu, and there were more than 20,000 wounded soldiers. At the same time, it annihilated the armored brigade of the 25th Army of the Japanese. In addition, the 5th Division of the 25th Army is now surrounded by our Chinese troops.

From last night to now, more than 17,000 enemies have been wiped out. The remaining Japanese are probably able to resolve the battle before noon today. Now there is heavy rain in Southeast Asia, and Japanese bombers cannot get through. It is a foregone conclusion that the entire Fifth Division has been wiped out.

In other words, before we reached an agreement with you, our Chinese troops gave you a big gift, and our Chinese troops were able to completely restrain Japanese troops. There is no doubt about this!" Commander Jiang said happily and proudly as he looked at Wright and Stilwell.
