My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

"What...what is this?" Zhao Gongming couldn't help but sigh.

I saw that the thing was about 3 meters long and about 5 meters in diameter. It was fixed to the frame with more than a dozen military straps. The whole thing was in the shape of a warhead-like cone, full of thickness, and there were some strange things at the tail. The installation is estimated to weigh at least several tons.

The carriage frame at the back is a huge crane, presumably used specifically to move the warhead-loaded object.

"Director Zhao, the track leading to the airport has not been laid yet, so we can only transport it by car."

The battalion commander did not answer directly. To be honest, even he didn't know what it was. He only knew that it should be a special bomb, but his superiors requested that it be kept secret and he should not ask more questions.

"How much does it weigh?" Zhao Gongming kept looking around.

"6.8 tons, not including some fixtures at the back. Please figure out how to transport it to the airport. The order given to me by the superiors includes seven hours, so I'd better hurry up." Battalion Commander Hou replied calmly.

Good guy, one warhead alone is almost seven tons, and if other equipment is included, it will probably reach ten tons. Zhao Gongming smacked his lips and said to himself that this is not easy to handle.

The critical weight is too heavy, and the suspension of ordinary trucks cannot bear the weight. The best way is to use a train. Unfortunately, the track line to the airport has not been built, so it seems that the only option is towing.

No wonder Junzuo personally gave him the order. This job was no ordinary trouble. It would be easy if you had enough time, but the difficulty lies in the need to race against time.

"Xiao Wang, ask the logistics department to send a tow truck over. Try the weight first. If it doesn't work, then change the frame. The winch is also ready. It's all smooth. I won't spare anyone who dares to make ink marks."

Zhao Gongming seemed to have found a way, and while giving instructions to his subordinates, he came to the officer again: "Well... the battalion commander, I think the frame of this carriage needs to be dismantled. I don't have enough manpower. Look..."

"Send the order!" Battalion Commander Hou said nothing, and immediately called for his own soldiers to issue the order.

"To!"

"Order the second company, third company, and baggage train to assemble at Gate No. 1. Everyone obeys Director Zhao's command and cooperates with the brothers in the Munitions Department!"

"Yes!"

Seeing how cooperative the other party was, Zhao Gongming didn't waste any words. He handed over his hand and immediately arranged for his men to get busy...

The largest transport vehicle of the Munitions Department is the Diamond T 968 truck, which has a load capacity of up to four tons and a towing capacity of about 11 tons. It is still possible to change it to a load-bearing frame without considering suspension problems.

Soldiers from the special agent battalion were also actively helping. They basically completed the modification within five hours, and the transfer and loading of goods were also carried out simultaneously.

After several hours of work, at around 5 p.m., the huge warhead was finally delivered to the Heihe base airport.

The ground crews waiting here have been waiting for a long time. Because the LU-82 warhead is so large, ordinary bombers cannot mount it at all.

They could only modify the B29 Super Sky Fortress ammunition magazine on the Allied side in advance, clear out all useless equipment in the cabin to make room, and then reluctantly stuff it in.

The crew of this B29 bomber were shocked by this bomb that they had never seen before, and they were not sure what kind of weapon it was.

At six o'clock, the pilots took off quickly while it was still dark. After leaving the Heihe base, they first landed at the Bago temporary airport, where they replenished fuel and rested for the night before starting the bombing mission the next morning.

Although the bomb was special, the crew originally thought it was just an ordinary bombing mission and would carry out the mission as usual. But they didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until they arrived at Bago Airport. As soon as they got off the plane, a group of soldiers with guns and ammunition gathered around them and controlled the plane to prevent anyone from getting close.

The crew members were also arranged to rest in separate areas and were not allowed to go anywhere.

The two accompanying weapons engineers stayed on the aircraft to perform settings and inspections according to the markings on the drawings.

The entire mission seemed very rigorous and mysterious, because no one had any experience. It was the first time to use weapons that were far ahead of this era. Necessary caution and confidentiality should be exercised. Some secrets could not be discovered by others so quickly.

……

Early the next morning, on the main Japanese position in Yangon battlefield...

Under the rubble, there were still many Japanese soldiers walking among them. When the first ray of sunshine shone, it heralded that a new day of confrontation was about to begin.

The little devils took the time to have breakfast. Although they had been besieged for nearly a month, fortunately, they had stocked up a large amount of supplies in advance to support these people in their fight against the trapped beasts.

The urban area of ​​Yangon was basically destroyed by bombing, and the nearby highlands and some villages were also in ruins. However, the little devils still used tunnels and bunkers to deal with the expeditionary force.

Liao Mingyu knew very well that such large-scale street fighting and tug-of-war would cause great consumption to the troops. Such a battlefield environment would infinitely widen the strength gap between the two sides, which really depends on the number of people to fill it.

Anyway, the Japanese have broken the pot. There is the sea to the south, but their fleet cannot come back. Breaking out to the southeast will only be exposed to the firepower of enemy aircraft and artillery. It is better to stay in Yangon and continue to waste away.

The battlefield was so large that Little Japan seemed to have connected all the positions with tunnels. God knows how many bunkers and passages there were in the ruins with a radius of dozens of kilometers.

Continuous bombing and artillery bombardment cannot kill the opponent. Once the ground troops enter, they will be met with crazy counterattacks.

Liao Mingyu gave up this idea after several strong attacks. Not long ago, a reinforced battalion of the Honorable Third Division suffered over a hundred casualties in half an hour.

Even if they occupied part of the position during the day, the Japanese would come out of tunnels in various directions at night and launch a long-awaited charge at the soldiers.

The four divisions fought for more than a month and almost destroyed Yangon, but they still failed to capture the central area.

Bombs, heavy artillery, rockets, and even poison gas bombs were used over and over again, but they still failed to destroy the will of the little devil. These grandsons were like rats that could not be killed, still active in the rubble.

The little devil also learned the lessons of the flamethrower and improved the fire resistance of the tunnel. Anyway, he basically hid during the day to repair the passages and bunkers, and then launched a counterattack at night.

The intelligence information has become relatively vague. The Combat Staff has gone through a series of deductions. According to the current reaction of the Japanese army, to completely capture Yangon, at least more than 10,000 people will die.

Chen Jize, Gao Jiren, and Gao Xijiang, the main combatants, believed that there would be no casualties in a war. Such a price was within their tolerance, so they rushed to be the vanguard.

However, Long Wenwen, Meng Fanlie and others believe that exchanging lives for lives is not advisable. The Japanese army has become meat on the chopping board. If they continue to maintain pressure, it will be the opponent who cannot withstand it in the end. Blind attacks will only increase casualties and outweigh the losses.

Liao Mingyu immediately rejected the plan to attack by force. Although time was tight, he was reluctant to trade his elite troops for lives with the opponent. The key was that the larger battle losses to the troops would affect the next plan. Besides, he has now found a solution.
