Chapter 817 The Battle of Naypyidaw
Okamura Nishiji in Yangon soon received a telegram, and Hu Bin's troops were about to attack Nabido's defense line.
"Hmph!" Okamura Yanji heard this and sneered, feeling very disdainful.
He is not worried about Hu Bin's attack now, nor is he afraid of Hu Bin's not attacking. At this time, Hu Bin was like a fish on a chopping board in Okamura's heart, and he should cut it as much as he wants!
"Commander, the statistical telegrams that attacked Wei Lihuang before have come here. They are expected to bring tens of thousands of casualties to Wei Lihuang's troops. This is a conservative estimate. Most of the casualties on our side are on the battlefield and have not come down! Among them, the officers of our empire, 4,210 people were killed and injured 2,011 people!" The Chief of Staff took a telegram to Okamura Nishi and reported to Okamura Nishi.
"Yoxi, very good, very good!" Okamura Yanji nodded, very satisfied.
"Continue to attack tonight. Our current troops are almost in place, right?" Okamura Nishi said, looking up at the Chief of Staff.
"Hi, the troops attacking Wei Lihuang tonight can reach 200,000. Tomorrow we will have more troops coming, and it is expected that there will be 300,000. In 3 days, we will have 200,000 troops going there. In 5 days, we will reach 500,000!" The Chief of Staff reported to Gangyao Ningji.
"Yoxi, tell them that Wei Lihuang only has 6 armies, defending 5 places, and another army is a reserve force. Each army has an average force of about 50,000, and it may not be that many. Every time they attack their positions, two divisions will take turns to attack. I will slowly consume them!" Okamura Yanji nodded and said.
"Hi, this is indeed effective. Last night we attacked two of their positions, causing them about 10,000 casualties. If we attacked four of their positions tonight, according to the current style of play, we can bring them 20,000 casualties. Within half a month, we can completely solve Wei Lihuang's troops!" The Chief of Staff nodded and said in agreement.
"In less than half a month, they will have various problems in a week. Then we will be able to capture their positions. Also, have the troops attacking the airport arranged?" Okamura Nishi asked.
"Hi, it has been arranged, the troops of three divisions will go to attack Menggong Airport!" the chief of staff nodded and said.
"Yoxi, there is no problem with Wei Lihuang, and Hu Bin's side, huh, it's probably not a big problem. They are attacking troops. No matter what they want, they will attack our position, and his casualties will be huge. When Wei Lihuang's side has problems, he will even be unable to retreat even if he wants to retreat.
Now we have 400,000 troops in Nabido. We still have to continue to increase troops there. When they are about to retreat, chase after him. I will wipe out his troops!" Okamura Yasuji said.
"Hi! There are still troops coming from the Philippines tomorrow, and I will arrange it when the time comes!" the chief of staff nodded and said.
"Yoxi, you go down. Come and report if there is any situation!" Okamura Yasuji waved his hand to the staff officer, indicating that he could go down.
At this time, on the Naipido front, Chinese troops had already launched and began to pounce on the Japanese. The bombers in the sky had retreated, but the artillery of the ground troops was already firing at the Japanese positions.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The cannons were bombing the Japanese positions, but the Japanese did not come out and waited for the end of the cannon bombing in the air raid shelter.
The cannons bombed for 20 minutes. At this time, Chinese troops had advanced to less than 200 meters away from the Japanese. Many soldiers from the bazooka had loaded their ammunition and were waiting for the Japanese to fight back.
Because according to the information, the Japanese built a lot of bunkers here, and to blow up the bunker, they had to use a bazooka, and tanks had to hit the bunkers, which was more troublesome!
"Baga, hurry up, come out, the Chinese troops are here, come out!" The Japanese officers who were observing, after the smoke spread a little, found that the Chinese tanks were less than 100 meters away from them, and immediately shouted.
"Da da da da!" At this time, the heavy machine gunner sitting on the tank saw someone in the trench opposite, and immediately activated the heavy machine gun.
"Hurry, counterattack, counterattack!" The Japanese officer on the position shouted loudly.
At this time, the sound of heavy machine guns came from the shooting entrances of many bunkers, and they shot towards China.
"Battlehot, see if there is no one there, kill them!" A company commander behind the tank saw the heavy machine gunner on the tank being hit by the Japanese, and there were so many bunkers in front of them, and shouted loudly.
The bazooka shooters immediately squatted beside the tank, and after aiming, they immediately fired.
"Chirp~" The bazooka flew towards the Japanese bunker with flames.
"Boom!" An explosion occurred in front of the bunker. The shooting inside stopped for more than 10 seconds, and someone immediately fired. Many bunkers were not easy to shoot, and it was difficult to shoot accurately in one shot. It took several shots to hit it!
"Infantry, infantry dispersed, we have to rush forward!" The heavy machine gunner on the tank shouted loudly, and the infantry following behind immediately dispersed, some lay down, some squatted down, and suppressed and shot in front, while some soldiers followed the tank and escorted the tank!
"Da da da da!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Shoot, shoot!" the Japanese officers shouted loudly, but they did not dare to stand up and shoot. It was because China's firepower was too strong. Not only did there be heavy machine guns on the tanks, but also the ground troops also had heavy machine guns. At the same time, the infantry used continuous shooting methods to directly suppress the Japanese.
"Go up, go up!" A staff officer who was observing behind said excitedly when he saw the Chinese tanks driving onto the Japanese trenches.
Li Qinwei, who was standing next to him, felt a little surprised. According to their previous expectations, it was impossible to rush into the Japanese trench for the first time, so why did he go up now?
"Let the infantry in front pay attention and protect our tanks. I'm afraid that the Japanese will use the bag to blow up the chassis of our tanks!" Li Qinwei said to the staff officer next to him.
"Yes!" The staff officer heard this and immediately ran into the command center and called the attack in front. The attack in front had already brought a wireless phone, but the call distance of the wireless phone was relatively short!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Kill!" When the Chinese infantry saw the tanks going up, they immediately jumped into the trench and began to kill along the trench.
"Come on the tank, hurry!" a battalion commander shouted loudly from the side.
Because the tank troops were attacking the second trench of the Japanese, the two trenches were about 50 meters apart, the tanks were now shooting, using armor-piercing bombs to shoot the Japanese bunkers. The bunkers were almost blown up, but there were some, and there were some Japanese who were lying on it and attacking from a high point, with a very good shooting perspective!
"Boom, boom, boom!" The tanks fired at the bunkers, and the explosion directly exploded the Japanese, and then fell heavily to the ground, not even half of their lives.
"Baga, what's going on with the 301st Division? Why did Chinese tanks rush up!" Kobayashi Takezo saw at the observation port of the command headquarters that the Chinese tank troops had rushed into their trenches, and shouted in shock.
"Report, the 301st Division sent a telegram for help!" a staff officer came and shouted.
"Let the 304th Division send a brigade troops over and defeat the Chinese troops for me. Damn it!" Kobayashi Zhusan shouted loudly.
The defense lines of Dagon are connected. Once the Chinese troops break through one of the defense lines, then the Chinese troops can start fighting along the defense lines, so that their defense lines cannot stop the attacks of the Chinese troops at all. Therefore, they have to drive down the Chinese troops.
"kill!"
"Da da da da!"
"Enlarge along the trenches, let's follow the tank!" When one battalion commander was running, he happened to see another battalion commander and shouted loudly.
"I know!" The battalion commander jumped into the trenches and ordered his own battalion troops to start fighting along the trenches. In this way, one can reduce casualties, and the second can advance very quickly. So once it breaks through, the position must be stabilized, tear the position as much as possible, so that more troops behind it can come up.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Enter the trench, go inside, kill the Japanese in the bunker, hurry up!" After a company commander rushed into the second trench with the tank, he shouted loudly.
The Japanese soldiers in the trenches, including officers, also wanted to drive Chinese troops out of their trenches, but the guns held by the Chinese soldiers were always in the continuous shooting mode. The Japanese had to pull the bolt to fire before firing a shot, which could not be stopped at all.
So they could only retreat along the trenches. Some Japanese wanted to throw grenades, but they were hit before they could throw them. The grenades exploded directly in the trenches, and the nearby Japanese soldiers were in trouble.
"Don't retreat, block, block them!" The officers shouted loudly when they saw their soldiers retreating along the trenches.
But those soldiers didn't listen to them at this time. Some Japanese officers even shot a few of them and slightly suppressed the local recruits. However, when they saw the Chinese soldiers coming, they shot and turned around and ran away again. Now is not the time to fight against China. They all know that Chinese soldiers have good weapons and fight with them in the trenches, and they can't win.
"The 2nd Regiment, the 2nd Regiment's troops come out of the trenches and follow the tanks, hurry up and continue attacking!" A 2nd Regiment's communications soldier shouted loudly, and their battalion commander and company commander were also shouting loudly.
When the soldiers of the 2nd Armored Infantry Regiment heard this, they immediately jumped out of the trench, followed behind the tanks, and continued to attack the next trench.
They knew that it was very beneficial to Chinese troops now. If this trench could be penetrated, the next step was to expand the trench, let more troops come in and clean up along the trench.
