My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 555
At the beginning of 45, the Japanese were on the decline in terms of national power and armaments. In fact, the situation of the entire Axis powers was also the same. But war is war, and its essence will not be changed by anything. madness.

The fighting in southern Myanmar is still in full swing. After the recent Ren'anqiang Battle, the 88rd Division of the [-]th Army suspended its southward attack. On the one hand, the troops needed supplies and personnel to rest, and on the other hand, they were also waiting for better opportunities. .

Entering the southern part of Mandalay Province, the terrain becomes more mountainous and less roady. Here, armored troops and heavy artillery are inconvenient to move, and it is difficult to keep up with the rapid advance of large troops.

Long Wenwen had no choice but to divide the team into two, leaving a group of people to cooperate with the heavy artillery brigade and the armored brigade to transfer, and at the same time wait for the supplies to be replenished in the rear. path of.

The Japanese also seem to have learned to be smart. They changed their tactics and strategies. Instead of holding on to a certain place meaninglessly, they spread out and hid in the primeval jungle that covered the sky and the sun, and harassed the enemy in a guerrilla way.

The little devil has set up many minefields in the forest, especially on those forest trails. If you don't pay attention, you will be blown up to the sky. Many Japanese ambushed in small groups on both sides, relying on one or two light machine guns as the fulcrum of firepower , as long as there is an enemy passing by, the maximum damage will be given immediately.

Some little devils have started to act like apes again. They tie themselves to trees with ropes with a death mentality, or hide in dense bushes, and stay there for several days, waiting for the enemy When passing by, he used his own life to pull a few unlucky people on his back.

The three main regiments of the Third Division are all heavy troops. For a long time in the past, they relied on equipment firepower superiority and air support to fight against the Japanese army. However, it is difficult for regimental and battalion-level artillery to play a role in the jungle. The team can only be broken into parts and slowly advance in a way of gradually eating away.

At the same time, the troops of the Merrill commando also came here to fight together. This time they did not use the airborne tactics, but brought a group of military dogs specially for the Japanese jungle warfare.

In front of the military dogs with a keen sense of smell, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the dark can no longer hide, as long as they are found, they will inevitably be fired.

In the past two months, the vanguard has fought dozens of battles with the Japanese army, large and small. At the same time, both sides have also lost many soldiers. Generally speaking, the Allied forces have the upper hand. The Japanese army, which is short of food and clothing and has no support, can only fall into a disadvantage in the end. .

With the support of the Mai detachment, the soldiers were much more relaxed in the next jungle battle, and finally drove the little devil from the forest to Binmana and Nay Pyi Taw.

The Japanese army obviously does not have much advantage in terms of strength. The Southern Army headquarters has no more troops to send to support. All the Japanese can do now is to try their best to delay the enemy so that the defenders in Bago Province and Yangon The army is fully prepared for defense.

Fang Jingyao, who commanded the front-line troops to fight, had already seen hope, and was about to concentrate his forces again to wipe out the Japanese army in Nay Pyi Taw when he suddenly received bad news that his father was actually killed by the Japanese in Singapore.

"Old Fang, why don't you go back to the Heihe base to rest first, and I will take command here, which is what Junzuo meant. Then, don't think too much about it, originally..."

When Meng Fanlai brought this information to the front-line headquarters, the bombers of the U.S. Army and the Nankan Air Force had already dropped bombs on the little devil's head, and the troops were about to launch an artillery attack on Binmana. After the end, a joint attack was launched on the two enemy positions in Nay Pyi Taw and Pingman.

Fang Jingyao just froze, a trace of astonishment and disbelief appeared on his originally calm face, but this expression was quickly hidden by him.

"I'm so tired of you bastard, if you don't come early or late, you must have some pornography at this time!" Yaoma complained with an upright temper, he thought that the other party shouldn't come and talk about such things now.

"Hey... you Bashan monkey, you think the little master is happy, if it's not... well, it's hard to talk to you!"

It's quite embarrassing for Meng to be annoyed, if Liao Mingyu hadn't insisted on him doing this, he wouldn't be willing to come here to be the bird of mourning.

The sound of booming gunfire kept ringing in the ears, and the moment of the flames of war did not allow people to think about it.At this time, Fang Jingyao could not see any anger or sadness on his face. He didn't ask a word, but turned around silently, lowered his head and continued to focus on the sand table map on the desktop.

"Chief of Staff, are you okay?"

"Sir, take care of your body, let's mourn..."

...

The military officers at all levels beside him immediately stepped forward to comfort him. Fang Jingyao's amiable and gentle personality, which is usually distinguished by rewards and punishments, is deeply respected by the soldiers and has a high prestige in their hearts. Everyone does not want him to get angry because of this incident. .

After all, the pain of losing a father is indescribable, and Meng Fan, who is still alive at home, can feel the same no matter how much he suffers, and it is reasonable for the other party not to accept it for a while.

"Don't make any noise...there is still a war!"

Fang Jingyao slapped the table suddenly, and looked at everyone expressionlessly:
"Everything will be discussed after this battle is over. Now, each of you should do your job well, and don't discuss anything unrelated to the battlefield!"

His voice was not loud but surprisingly calm, with an irresistible force in his tone, and no one who was swept by that firm gaze dared to look him in the slightest.

"Chief of Staff, don't worry too! I assure you, I will personally lead the team later, and the soldiers from the third regiment will definitely be the first to break into the little devil's position!"

Milong, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, promised with a loud voice and patted his chest that in his consciousness blood debts need to be paid with blood, and only by beheading a few more devils can he pay homage to the heroic spirits of his loved ones in the sky.

"No nonsense! All troops must attack in accordance with the order of battle. This battle has nothing to do with individuals. I don't want you to let your soldiers lose their lives with emotions. Whoever dares to act impulsively don't blame the ruthless military law! Do you hear me clearly?" Fang Jingyao With a cold eyebrow, he ordered without a doubt.

"Yes…!"

Everyone couldn't help but be intimidated by his aura, especially Mi Long who was stared at fiercely. Although this Chief of Staff Fang is usually gentle and easy-going, he is also iron-blooded and domineering at critical moments.

"Old Fang..."

Meng was annoyed and wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Fang Jingyao: "Stop talking, an attack is about to start here, Commander Li, take Commander Meng to a safe area behind."

"Yes!" Yao Ma came up and tugged on Meng Fanle's arm, signaling him to leave quickly with his eyes.

Seeing Fang Jingyao's insistence, Meng got annoyed and could only sigh secretly and stop trying to dissuade him. On the other hand, he also admired Fang Jingyao's ability to put aside his personal problems at this time and direct the overall situation resolutely and calmly. It's really not easy. .
