My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 593
Chen Xinmin had no choice but to squat down and pat him on the shoulder.

"Ah? What's the matter? What are you talking about..." The third platoon leader turned his head to look at the company commander.

Maybe even he himself didn't hear what he said clearly, and he raised his hand and patted his ears hard, making people feel sad.

"I said you're okay? Who fired the flare just now, and Li Shuanggui?"

Fearing that he could not hear, Chen Xinmin asked loudly.

There were more than [-] fighters in the third row plus the original first row, but there were only twelve or three soldiers who were still alive.

Moreover, after searching around, he did not find Li Shuanggui, so Chen Xinmin suddenly had a bad feeling.

After hearing the other party's words clearly, the third platoon leader remained silent. He just glanced at the bombed wreckage not far away, gritted his teeth and shook his head with difficulty.

At this point, there is no need to say any more, the location where the signal flare was fired is at the bomb drop point, and there is almost no possibility of surviving there...

Chen Xinmin frowned. He couldn't believe that the reckless guy with a lot of luck and fate stayed in the center of the bombing area.

The tragic situation of the Japanese can be seen, and the ending can be imagined...

"Correspondent, send a report to the headquarters immediately. The Japanese artillery unit has been destroyed, and the mission of the reconnaissance company has been completed!"

"Yes!"

Chen Xinmin, who was depressed in his heart, took a gun and walked towards the riverbed after finishing speaking. He wanted to go and see for himself, anyway, he wanted to see people and dead bodies.

At this moment, a wounded young soldier next to him caught Chen Xinmin's attention. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to be the little guy who had been following behind Li Shuanggui.

Qiu Lin, covered in black and ash, stood up with the help of his comrades in arms. The blood left on his forehead stained half of his face, but he didn't care at all.

"Hey! Wait a minute..."

The medical soldier wanted to bandage his wound, but the other party ignored him at all, just glanced at the direction of the riverbed where the smoke was billowing, and strode forward
"Xiao Linzi, why are you going?" The third platoon leader saw something, fearing that something might happen to the other party, he quickly got up and went to hold him back.

"I have to go to Brother Li, he's still in there..." Qiu Lin managed to force out a sentence.

Perhaps because of the excessive blood loss from the wound, or perhaps because of the concussion in his head, his face looked pale and bloodless, and his voice was weak, as if he might fall down at any time.

"Don't... oh..." The third platoon leader still wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't get it out of his mouth.

He could fully understand the other party's mood, but he didn't know how to explain the cruel reality for a while.

Qiu Lin didn't stop, holding a glimmer of hope in his heart, he still dragged his steps forward,

The third platoon leader still wanted to follow, but was stopped by a pair of hands: "Old Jiao... just rest, I will accompany him to have a look."

Chen Xinmin sighed, and quickly followed Qiu Lin after saying a word.

Li Shuanggui is an old comrade-in-arms he has been with since the new barracks. He failed to take that kid's life in so many critical situations before, but this time...

Or maybe he, like Qiu Lin, still has a glimmer of hope.

In fact, the big guys probably knew in their hearts that it was almost impossible to find Li Shuanggui, but they just hoped to find his body and bring it back. This is the honor he exchanged his life for.

……

The news of the destruction of the Japanese artillery was quickly sent back to the headquarters of the new army. The commanders of the divisions and regiments on the front line were very excited, and now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It took more than half a month and so much effort to finally kill this troublesome devil artillery, which undoubtedly saved the lives of countless soldiers on the front line.

Fang Jingyao issued an order immediately after learning the news. The 201st Division changed its posture and gathered its troops to prepare to advance. The 202nd and 203rd Divisions actively cooperated, changing from a feigned attack on the flanks to a frontal assault, and launched attacks across the board towards all strongholds stationed by the Japanese army.

The flames of war were ignited again, and the Japanese garrison without artillery support quickly fell into a disadvantage, and the defense line became precarious.

After this period of tempering and actual combat, the soldiers of the new army have gradually mastered some combat experience. They are no longer as clumsy and jerky as when they first stepped into the battlefield, and the cooperation between the troops is getting better and better.

Facing the wave-like attack, the Japanese army could not resist at all. Under the coordinated attack of air support and ground troops, they suffered heavy losses. In two or three days, several positions on the front line were lost one after another.

Under the command and dispatch of Fang Jingyao, the 202nd Division and the 203rd Division successfully captured Waxi City and the lower reaches of the Irrawaddy River. supply.

Seeing that the encirclement was about to be formed, and no new supplies had been delivered for several days in a row, the little devil, who realized that he had fallen into a desperate situation, couldn't sit still for a moment, and immediately started preparing for the breakout operation.

Originally wanted to join the main force of the garrison going to Yangon, but the west side of the Irrawaddy River was already occupied, and the road was so blocked that it was impossible to move forward.

To the west is the endless sea of ​​the Bay of Bengal, and there is no way out. Right now, we can only venture south to break through, and return to the southern states of Ayeyarwady Province, which is known as the granary of Myanmar, to find opportunities for war.

Now facing the risk of water shortage and food shortage, several Japanese regiments stationed in Ganjidang broke out an astonishing desire to survive, and fought extremely fiercely in the breakout battle regardless of the cost.

After all, the two divisions 202 and 203 hadn't sealed the openings yet, and the encirclement circle hadn't been fully formed yet. The 201 Division, which blocked the opponent's southward retreat, bore the brunt of the blow, but obviously they couldn't stop the little devils who had made up their minds.

However, Fang Jingyao did not demand that the Japanese army must be kept in Ganji to be completely wiped out. He knew that this was an impossible thing to achieve.

On the surface, Fang Jingyao seemed to let the little devil out, but in fact he dug a new hole for the Japanese army, so that they, who didn't know the truth, would jump into it obediently.

On April 26, the battle of Ayeyarwady Province, which lasted nearly two months, finally ended with the complete defeat of the Japanese army.

After losing the defense lines such as Ganjidang and Pathein River, there is only a large area of ​​alluvial plain that is not dangerous to defend in the southern part of the Ayeyarwady Province. The three main infantry divisions of the new army are like an unstoppable flood. Occupied and controlled two-thirds of the land in Ayeyarwady Province.

The remnants of the Japanese army could only retreat further south to Mia Miya, Rapta and other places, but the road was all on the Great Plains, and the bombers would drop a round of steel baptism from time to time, which made the little devils fearful all day long.

Knowing that the Ayeyarwady Province was about to lose its hold, the Japanese army originally wanted to go to the port of Bogeli in the southwest and transfer to Yangon by sea and land transport ships, but obviously the opponent would not give them this opportunity.

In order to cut off the last retreat of the Japanese army, the 202nd and 203rd divisions headed towards Bogeli first, using the Ayeyarwady River to flow down the river, and soon blocked the entire main river basin until the mouth of the sea.

The frontal 201st Division and the support reserve team from the Heihe base advanced unhurriedly towards the Japanese army, slowly driving them to the delta at the southwest end like ducks.

Because there is the best grave that Fang Jingyao chose for the Japanese, and he has planned for a long time to make the little devil feel what real despair is...
