My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 406
The night fell slowly, and the darkness shrouded the land again. The sound of guns and artillery basically stopped, but the smoke still filled the battlefield. The wreckage of chariots and artillery was still blazing, and mutilated corpses abounded everywhere...

After fighting for a whole day, the warring parties have now died down, but no one dares to take it lightly at this moment, and the tense nerves seem to be broken at the touch of a button.

The encirclement of the three-way army has been narrowed to the vicinity of the city of Myitkyina, and the main force of the Japanese army and a large number of wounded have been transferred inside. They are now unable to fly.

After the sky darkened, many Japanese troops on the outer defense line began to break through, and sporadic battles broke out again on the battlefield, but the price to be paid to escape from the battlefield at this time was extremely huge.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night...

"The second regiment has arrived outside the XC area, and the main force of the third regiment is besieging the river crossing in the south of the city, but... the first regiment has encountered some problems, and they have not yet occupied the train station."

Liao Mingyu stood outside the tent, silently watching the darkness in front of him: "How is the situation with the Indian Army?"

"The New 38th Division and the New 22nd Division are attacking the Hudun Bridge in the north. It is estimated that the battle is over, but the bridge body was blown up by the Japanese. They may have to build a pontoon bridge overnight."

Standing beside him was Chen Jize, who stood like a javelin, and spoke forcefully:
"On the other hand, Commander Yu's progress is relatively smooth. The vanguard has already begun to approach our third regiment. It is estimated that the east of the city will be surrounded in less than two hours."

"Hehe, that guy is very powerful now, he has become the commander of the two armies." Liao Mingyu joked.

Now Yu Xiaoqing is the supreme commander of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Army. Although it is only a temporary position, there are at least two armies under him, so it can be said that he is in the limelight.

"Well, Commander Yu sent a message to ask whether to organize troops to launch an attack tonight. His 71st Army is very close to us and can form a joint offensive." Chen Jize continued to ask.

Liao Mingyu took out a match to find a cigarette, took a deep breath, and the strong smell of tobacco shook his brain: "Don't go to war at night, it's just a turtle in the urn, brothers have been fighting all day, hurry up and get rested. "

"However, it's okay to send some small troops to touch it, but pay attention to the outer positions, the little devil will not be safe tonight."

Chen Jize nodded noncommittally, and immediately turned around and made arrangements without hesitation.

Liao Mingyu exhaled the smoke and looked ahead with some deep meaning.The night sky was as black as ink, with only a few stars dotted in the morning, but there were many figures just about to move in that darkness.

……

Around [-] o'clock in the morning, towards the Southwest Railway Station of Myitkyina...

Different from Lashio in the past, as a transportation hub connecting northern and central Myanmar, Myitkyina Railway Station is very large. There are a total of more than a dozen railway tracks in the station, and there are many wooden buildings around it, and there are countless warehouses and warehouses.

Compared with other places, the terrain here is relatively flat, and at the same time, the defense force has doubled. The Japanese army did not hesitate to send a regiment to guard here, and a regiment spent a day here with the Japanese and failed to break in.

It is now late at night, except for the observation post, the soldiers who have worked hard all day are leaning on the trenches or bunkers to rest. The tense atmosphere makes many soldiers unable to sleep. Only some big-hearted veterans have already fallen asleep, but they He hugged his rifle tightly, and could wake up at the slightest disturbance.

At this time, Ma Zheng had to lead the guard platoon to patrol the position. He had just received Liao Mingyu's order to make Yituan strengthen their vigilance to prevent the little devils from attacking at night.

It's just that right now, my heart is in a mess.After several battles, the first regiment also suffered considerable battle damage, and it has not been replenished until now. The number of people in the whole regiment who can still fight is only more than 800, and less than half of the regiment's troops can defend this territory. It's really bottomless.

"Third, go and call the commander of the second battalion to take people to the front to stand by. After two hours, change to the third battalion, and keep an eye on Little Japan."

After much deliberation, I still decided to stand firm, even if the whole group didn't sleep tonight, they had to keep up their spirits, otherwise I couldn't afford it if something happened.

"Huh? Let the second battalion go up at night? Otherwise, it's fine to ask a company to go to the forest to guard, brothers..."

"Too many criticisms!" Yao Ma slapped him across the face, and interrupted in a bad tone: "Hurry up for me, if something happens to your mother tonight, will you be shot or I will be shot?"

"Oh...yes...yes, you are a cauldron and you have the final say..." The soldier called the third screamed, shrank his neck and said angrily.

"Why don't you go soon!?"

"Yes!"

The third child gave a shudder, and hurriedly ran out in response, fearing that if he was too slow, he would get another blow on the head.

"Turtle son, if you don't listen to good words, I will get angry..." Looking at the figure going away for some reason, Yao Ma felt a little uneasy, his heart was heavy, as if something would really happen.

The defense line established by the next regiment is not far from the Japanese army. During the fierce battle during the day, the little devil was terribly blown up by the mortars and bazookas of the soldiers. It also caused huge casualties to a regiment.

For a whole day, Kaoma organized eight attacks, but only managed to occupy a corner of the station. The two sides saw each other repeatedly in the building of the train station, and staged a brutal street fight.

It wasn't until the Japanese reinforcements arrived in the evening that Kaoma realized that there was no chance and ordered the retreat. After night fell, both sides were silently licking their wounds, until now...

"Oh, the south is about to enter the city, right?"

"That's right, can you be upset that the chariot battalion is over there? Junzuo didn't send anyone to support, oh... really..."

In the forward position, several soldiers were lying in the trenches and chatting one after another.

The squad leader who spoke had a look of indignation. He was one of the more than 100 veterans who survived in Lashio. That battle almost wiped out the entire First Regiment. No wonder the battle was fought so hard.

"Company commander, I said that our regiment used to be a shelf of the Sichuan Army, Jun Zuo's treasure, why is it raised by a stepmother now?"

The little soldier rubbed his head, and asked his officer in an unclear manner.He was just a new recruit added later, and he didn't understand some situations at all.

"Don't talk nonsense, son of a bitch, there are wars everywhere now, how can Junzuo take care of it, and let's say the third regiment is easy? The corpses taken away by the transport regiment this afternoon have more than a dozen carts. What do you think! "

The company commander rolled his eyes at him angrily, opened his eyes wide and looked ahead carefully, and continued on his own: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, just keep an eye on it, the acting captain asked us to come and watch the whistle, If something goes wrong, it's a slap in the face of our second battalion!"

"Yes."

Gou Shengzi reluctantly responded, and the others had no choice but to shut their mouths obediently when they saw this, and the surroundings became quiet again.
