The Japanese army finally arrived, but the battle situation seemed to have gone beyond Zhao Zhi's expectation. Intelligence showed that the Japanese army assembled 400,000 troops to launch a strong attack on Myanmar. However, only the Jewish First Army, which Zhao Zhi placed on the Toungoo defense line, fought fiercely with the Japanese army.
However, the defenders of Ren'an Qiang and Taunggyi did not
Seeing any trace of the Japanese army, the Japanese gunboats near the coast only fired a few volleys of artillery fire. The 5,000 British troops stationed in Yangon abandoned the city and fled northward. A large area south of Toungoo fell into the hands of the Japanese army.
Hand, but this is what Zhao Zhi hopes to see.
Without the ship ramming attack by the Burmese dead soldiers, the landing of the Japanese troops was relatively smooth. The ship ramming attack during the last landing left a shadow on the Japanese army. After the landing, the Japanese army still retreated and advanced according to the tactics formulated early in the morning, starting from the north of Yangon Port.
The journey to Taungoo lasted for three full days, but unfortunately they did not encounter any possible attacks or ambush. The Taungoo defense line was already impregnable under the management of Zhao Zhi, and Zhao Zhi was still stationed here.
a Jewish force of 20,000 and
00 mercenary troops, it is not easy for the Japanese army to break through here.
Facts have proved that the strength of the Toungoo defense line is indeed beyond the imagination of the Japanese army. Yamauchi Masafumi's 15th Division was the forward division of this attack. The entire 15th Division carried out uninterrupted attacks on the Toungoo Defense Line. Unfortunately, they were all in Judaea.
The first army collapsed in front of the powerful firepower. The air was filled with a
There was a pungent stench of putrefaction, buzzing flies and maggots crawling on the wounds of the corpses. The tenacious Jewish First Army had blocked the 15th Division at the Toungoo defense line for two days.
Before receiving the order to retreat, they must firmly guard here and not let the Japanese army take a step forward.
In order to break through the Toungoo defense line, the 51st Regiment of the 15th Division has been crippled. Regiment Captain Omoto Kisano has also died in the opponent's artillery bombardment. Masafumi Yamauchi does not know how many enemy troops are on the opposite side, but there are reports from behind.
The order came that the 15th Division must tear open the Toungoo Defense Line and open a passage for the follow-up troops to move north. For some unknown reason, the 400,000 troops assembled by the Japanese army this time were the same as the last time and did not enter Myanmar at the same time. 15
The division and the other two divisions were the first batch to enter Myanmar, and the large troops seemed to be still marching on the Thai-Myanmar border.
Masafumi Yamauchi knew the strength of his own division, but the defenders on the opposite side were not free, especially the powerful firepower of the other side was not something that the 15th Division could withstand. The bullets of those guys seemed to be free of charge.
Stop the field of the 15th Division
The 21st Artillery Regiment was bombarded by the large-caliber artillery from the opposite side as soon as it opened. Without strong long-range firepower support, the 15th Division had to use human lives to fill the gap. As long as it could break through the opponent's position and defense line, Yamauchi Masafumi didn't mind losing half of it.
soldiers.
"Machine gun preparation, the Japanese monkeys are here again." The shouts of observation posts rang out in the trenches, and the officers began to urge the soldiers nestled in the anti-gun holes to get into position. The 15th Division's another attack had not yet been fully launched, and the First Army's
Preparations for the attack have been completed, and it looks densely packed
The khaki-colored crowd rushed over, and the Jewish soldiers in the trenches tightened their weapons. "Fire, fire." As the commander shouted, the silent defense line suddenly burst into life, and countless blooming gun flames spewed out with death.
The breath bullets were fired at the Japanese troops a hundred meters away.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" Every place where the Japanese army was densely received special attention from the Jewish artillery units, especially the Japanese machine gun firepower and their mortar squads. At this time, the Japanese bolt-action rifles showed their
Facing the shortcomings of the Jewish First Army, Garland
German rifles and 38 rifles are more like toys in the hands of children. Even those senior Japanese veterans can only lie on the ground and shoot with them when faced with such a dense rain of bullets. Otherwise, they only need to raise their head slightly.
There is a possibility that your own body will be shot by the opponent's bullet.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" The Japanese attack was suppressed by the strong firepower of the First Army. The Jewish snipers hidden in the formation began to take advantage of the chaos to kill the Japanese officers. The distance was less than 300 meters. For the snipers
It's nothing at all. If you shoot the man first, shoot the horse first to capture the thief. First capture the king.
This is a truth that has never changed at all times. The large number of officers and senior veterans killed in battle caused turmoil again in the attack of the 15th Division. Some soldiers were already retreating backwards. If it were not for the support of the supervising team behind them,
, I am afraid that the Japanese attack has already ended.
"Inform the heavy artillery regiment behind to fight another round. I want to see if the Japanese are afraid of death." Looking at the Japanese offensive troops pushed back by the Japanese army's supervising team, he commanded
00 mercenaries cooperated with the First Army to fight Tang Lei. He was a little embarrassed. That is to say, he was constrained by the terrain and natural conditions of the Toungoo Defense Line. Otherwise, Tang Lei would have pulled up his Qingfeng troops to carry out poison gas warfare against the Japanese army. After half a year,
After secret training, the current Qingfeng Force is no longer a mercenary force in the general sense. In the words of those foreign chemists, the Qingfeng Force should now be regarded as a basically qualified biochemical force.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The power of the German K18 heavy artillery was fully revealed at this time. After one shot, no Japanese troops could stand within a radius of 30 meters. The Japanese troops within 10 meters died directly. 10
Most of the Japanese soldiers outside the country would be injured by flying shrapnel or have their organs damaged by the shock wave, and those who were hit by the wave
All the Japanese troops they reached would have the same symptom, that is, they would be temporarily deafened. Dozens of rising smoke pillars made the attack assembly point of the 15th Division look more like an area. The appearance of the opponent's heavy artillery group forced Masafumi Yamauchi to
The attack was suspended. Faced with such strong firepower, the 15th Division could not find a way to break through the defense line.
"Don't stop the snipers. Kill and injure as many of their officers and technical units as possible. Without the officers and machine gunners who can direct the battle, I don't see how this Japanese army can still attack." The Japanese army began to retreat in accordance with the order, but Tang
Lei seems to be dissatisfied with the development of the battle. If he cannot kill more Japanese divisions on the opposite side and wait for the Japanese follow-up troops to arrive, what awaits the Toungoo defenders will be an even more brutal battle. If they play tricks with the Japanese
Sea tactics, only 2
The 00-man Toungoo Defense Line was really no match for the Japanese army.
The camouflaged mercenary snipers followed Tang Lei's orders and dug out of the trenches to look for their targets. In order to kill their targets better and more accurately, most of these mercenary snipers were removed and installed on sniper rifles.
Silencer. After removing the silencer, the mercenary sniper can easily hit targets as far as 400 meters away, such as motors.
Such a good sniper can hit a target 600 meters away. Accompanied by the slightly dull gunfire of the sniper rifle, some of the retreating Japanese troops fell to the ground and died from time to time. The Japanese officers who were killed by the snipers knew that there were sharpshooters on the other side.
Shoot them, but the honor of the officers does not allow them to take off their military uniforms or take off their officers' insignia.
"What a bunch of fucking idiots. They are about to lose their lives. They are still carrying the command knife like a baby. If I don't hit you, who will I hit?" Another Japanese officer was found hidden among the ordinary soldiers. The command knife on his waist had been exposed.
Knowing his identity, Ma Da secretly spat and looked at the Japanese soldier.
The officer steadily pulled the trigger. As the bullet shell jumped out, the Japanese officer in the sniper scope tilted his body, opened his arms and fell heavily to the ground. There was another gunshot, and he wanted to
A Japanese grenadier who reached out to drag the officer also fell down.
The dense sound of gunfire on the battlefield has long since stopped, and the slightly dull sound of sniper rifles is particularly clear. After every gunshot, a figure will always fall in the retreating Japanese army. After just a few hundred meters of retreat,
The road became the road to death for many Japanese military officers. More than 300 mercenaries
The sniper was the "real culprit" who caused the death of a large number of officers in the 15th Division. Looking at the attacking troops fleeing in disorder, Masafumi Yamauchi felt unspeakably depressed, especially when he heard that the 60th Regiment had
When half of the officers were killed, Masafumi Yamauchi even considered having his body disemboweled.
"We can no longer attack with such force. The opponent's firepower is too strong. Without the field artillery unit, we are no match for their firepower. We should wait until the follow-up divisions catch up before making further calculations."
A decision made by Masafumi Yamauchi stopped the 67th Regiment that had completed its offensive assembly. Facing the opponent's powerful firepower, Masafumi Yamauchi had no confidence at all. If his 67th Regiment suffered a large number of casualties from the opponent again, then the 15th Division would
He would have to withdraw from the attack on Myanmar due to heavy losses. This is something Yamauchi Masafumi does not want to see happen, so he must now wait for the arrival of follow-up troops.
"Damn it, you guys are going to die if you don't learn enough. Let the brothers take turns to rest and eat. When it gets dark, I will take you to sneak attack them." It was just after noon, and the Japanese army on the opposite side stopped attacking Lei Lei.
line of defense,
This is somewhat abnormal. After discussing with the commander of the First Army, Tang Lei decided that the soldiers on the defense line would take turns to rest and eat. As long as the Japanese army on the opposite side did not attack in the afternoon, Tang Lei would lead the mercenary troops in the sky.
The black queen went over to sneak attack the Japanese army.
"I asked why the little devils are so honest. It turns out they were frightened by us and are waiting for their follow-up troops. Then we should harass them tonight and not let them sleep peacefully." After dinner, Tang
Lei and others received intelligence from Yangon, and the Japanese troops stationed in Yangon began to gather and move north. One Japanese division headed north from Yangon to Taungoo, and the other also headed north, but their direction was Taunggyi.
"Send a copy of the information to the headquarters and Taunggyi each, and ask the Taunggyi garrison to prepare for the battle. Just ask the brothers to check the equipment. As soon as it gets dark, we will set off for a night attack." The mercenaries are all too familiar with night attacks.
, especially the Japanese 15th Division on the opposite side, which was already exhausted after two days of failed attacks. This was the best time to attack them at night.
