my bright sword career

Chapter 691 Blocking
After receiving the supplies delivered by Gao Hongming, the expeditionary army immediately began to act.

The actions of more than [-] people naturally cannot be hidden from the Japanese.

At that time, the Japanese army had only two divisions, the 55th and 56th, in Myanmar, and both divisions were under the command of the Japanese 33rd Army.

After receiving information that the national army was about to launch a counteroffensive, the commander of the 33rd Army, Lieutenant General Duben Zhengcai, immediately ordered the 55th and 56th divisions to prepare immediately, and a big battle was about to break out.

The sky at dusk, the cool gust of wind howling in the sky, and the setting sun that should have been hanging on the top of the mountain was blocked by thick clouds at this moment, all of which indicated that the weather in the future was likely to be very bad.

A simple dirt road winds along a forest and goes to the distance. Dozens of families are scattered along this road, and it is these families that form a village.

At this time, a marching team was stopped next to the village by more than a dozen British soldiers wearing Brody helmets, brown-green military uniforms, and holding Lee Enfield rifles.

The leader of this British army was a major with light yellow hair. This time he was standing on the side of the road, looking at the group of soldiers in front of him who were busy with travel and dust, and their clothes were a little ragged. Many soldiers still wore straw sandals on their feet. With a disdainful expression on his face, he was speaking to the Huaxia soldiers in front of him in blunt Chinese.

"I am the staff officer of the major of the 87th Regiment of the First Division of the British Empire Army. Now I order you to return to your original place immediately and do not advance."

The stopped soldiers were a little at a loss, and everyone turned their heads and looked behind.

At this time, an officer who also wore the rank of major stood out from the crowd.

He walked up to the major and said with a sullen face: "Mr. Major, I am Jiang Dong, the combat staff officer of the 22th Regiment of the newly formed 178nd Division of the National Army. Our department has been ordered to rush to Toungoo as quickly as possible. The military situation is urgent. , I hope you will let it go immediately."

"Let go?" The British major sneered, swept the dusty Chinese soldiers in front of him with contempt, and said arrogantly: "I don't care which army you are, but I am following the orders of Governor Wavell. Any troops are allowed to pass, including yours.

If you insist on moving forward, I have no choice but to be rude to you. "

Although the British Empire at this time is already at sunset, but as the saying goes, a donkey will never fall. Although I am down and out, my ancestors are richer anyway. When facing a weak country like China, the British have that kind of power. The inexplicable sense of self-confidence is naturally full.

It's just that what the major didn't expect was that it would be fine if he encountered other national army units, but these units were the newly formed 22nd Division.

As the commander of the new 22nd Division, Liao Yaoxiang has always been known for not being afraid of strong enemies and daring to fight tough battles, but in terms of personal life, he is a model.

Xie Bingying, a famous female writer in modern my country, admired him very much. She wrote in "The Bloody Battle of India and Burma": "General Liao is a perfect gentleman. He never smokes, drinks, plays cards, or gets close to him." Female sex, he is a person who takes the country and the nation as his life, puts personal life and death aside, and takes the rise and fall of the country as his own responsibility.

Of course, these words may be exaggerated, but it can also be seen that Liao Yaoxiang's personal integrity is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the troops brought out by such a person naturally carry his strong personal brand.

"you dare!"

Seeing that the British major insisted on not allowing them to pass, Jiang Dong almost exploded with anger. He strode up to the British major, and with a bah sound, he spit out thick phlegm at the opponent's feet on the spot.

"Shet!"

The British major was furious. Before he could swear, he spit out another mouthful of phlegm in front of him.

The two mouthfuls of phlegm in a row completely enraged the British major, and he pressed his right hand on his waist to draw his gun.

But I saw Jiang Dong strode forward and held down his hand with the gun with his left hand, then took out the pistol and pressed it against his waist.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Jiang Dong's actions, the British soldiers behind the major were shocked, and quickly took off the rifles on their shoulders and pointed them at Jiang Dong.

"crash"

There was a sound of pulling the bolt of the gun one after another.

Then a gloomy voice sounded in the ear of the British major, "Mr. Major, if you don't want to die, you'd better ask your subordinates to put down their guns, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."

Accompanied by Jiang Dong's voice, the major looked up and found that the rows of Chinese soldiers in front of him had already aimed their guns at them. He even saw several machine guns already set up tens of meters away. The muzzle of the gun emitted a cold light like the scythe of death.

Seeing more than 100 muzzles and several machine guns aimed at them, the major and the soldiers behind him were all dumbfounded.

With such a disparity in strength, everyone knew that once they fired, the dozen or so of them would definitely not survive ten seconds.

"If I were you, I would immediately order the soldiers to put down their guns, otherwise I cannot guarantee your safety!"

Facing the black muzzle and the eerie sound, the British major wisely ordered the soldiers to put down their guns.

After a few minutes, watching group after group of soldiers pass by them, the British major felt ashamed and angry, but all he could do was send someone to report the information to his superior.

…………

Taungoo on the morning of November 21

Taungoo is located at the intersection of the Sittang River, the Kabawen River, railways, and highways. It is also a strategic location that the Chinese and Japanese armies must contend for.

On a remote path, accompanied by the sound of chaotic horseshoes, a group of Japanese cavalry began to appear. This group of cavalry belonged to the Five Cavalry Regiment of the Japanese Army. Their task was to rush to Toungoo and occupy it.

When dozens of cavalrymen of this cavalry squad came down a hillside, a captain at the head suddenly raised his hand, and then the whole cavalry team stopped immediately.

Just when the captain looked around and was about to say something.

"Da da da……"

More than a dozen national army soldiers suddenly appeared on the hillside, each holding a Thompson M1A1 submachine gun and fired at the Japanese cavalry at the same time.

Everyone bared their bodies and fired. Looking at the Japanese cavalry crowded on the narrow road with no chance to fight back, the soldiers of the national army felt like a massacre.

On such a narrow road, the cavalry composed of dozens of horses squeezed the entire road without much space, and the soldiers on the hillside strafing the target with their submachine guns almost didn't need to aim before they could rain bullets on these Japanese soldiers. .

The leading Japanese captain was hit by a bullet before he could say a word, and then fell off his horse, and was soon pressed down by the heavy body of the horse.

The military uniform on his body was already stained red with blood, his body was still twitching slightly, blood foam gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
