Chapter 190 The Battle of the Bamo Begins

Slim's late-night visit was mainly because the New First Army had passed his breath, and soon the whole army would attack Bhamo, and let the 36th Infant Seal Division and the Great Infant Ranger cooperate to fight.

Mountbatten said: "Recently, the new army's offensive momentum is very fierce. The Japanese army is retreating steadily. I'm afraid it will not be long before they will hit southern Burma."

Slim asked, "The general hasn't slept so late, is he worried about the current battle situation?"

Mountbatten nodded and made a gesture, indicating that his men had made two cups of coffee.

Then asked: "Is there any good way to solve the current situation?"

Slim took out a map from his pocket and spread it on the table, saying: "If the new army attacks Bhamo, the Japanese army will definitely send reinforcements from Nankan. There is a small town between Nankan and Bhamo. , right here—"

Mountbatten looked over with his fingers, and there was an inconspicuous town in the middle of the map called Muncie.

Slim continued: "The Japanese army attaches great importance to the small town of Mansi. The New First Army is good at attacking in roundabouts, so it is bound to send troops to cut off this traffic artery."

Mountbatten asked suspiciously: "Mancy...is it really important?"

Slim explained: "Of course it is important! Very important! This town is the railway connecting Bhamo and Nankan, and it is an important transportation hub!"

"So... the town of Muncie must be taken?"

"Yes! We don't want Bhamo, and we don't want Nankan. We only need a little Mansi. As long as you come forward, the other allies will agree. Moreover, we have a ranger team of more than 400 people, and we have no record for a long time! "

Mountbatten thought about it for a while. Since the counterattack, the Daying Ranger has hardly captured any towns. Although it was a joint operation, it has never achieved a record. Where should he put his face?

So, he agreed to the plan.

The 36th Infant Seal Division received the next action plan on the second day. The order was to advance in the direction of Yingdo, contain the enemy, and cooperate with the new army to attack Bhamo.

The captain of the Big Baby Ranger, Alexander Killam, also received an order to send the ranger to Moshi, waiting for an opportunity to seize this little-known town.

After receiving the order, Killam's face was full of astonishment. At this time, Mansi was stationed with a squadron of devils. With his strength of more than 400 people, how could he possibly be able to eat them?

It would be about the same if he was assigned a division.

Later, he discovered that there was a reminder behind the order - "wait patiently for the opportunity, the general will give you a chance to pick up a bargain."

Killam held the telegram and seemed to understand it.

……

half a month later.

When all kinds of materials were fully prepared, Sun Liren commanded the New First Army to launch an attack on the periphery of Bhamo according to the plan.

This time it was his old and new 38th Division who took the lead.

The new 38th Division was divided into two groups, with the 113th Regiment as the main force on the right side to conduct a feint attack.

However, Li Hong personally led the main force of the 112th and 114th regiments to leave the Miba Highway, secretly crossed the river with some troops, and seized the chain bridge in the upper reaches of the Taiping River with some troops.

After the Japanese army discovered that the New Army was close to the chain bridge, they planned to plant explosives and wanted to blow up the chain bridge.

At this time, a company that sneaked across the river quickly attacked from the rear of the Japanese army and went straight to the chain bridge.

Facing the front and back attacks, the Japanese soldiers guarding the chain bridge suddenly panicked and rushed to fight.

The soldiers of the expeditionary army charged bravely, rushed up to fight with the Japanese army, and completely wiped out this group of Japanese troops.

The large force was able to cross the river, and then divided into two groups, attacking Bhamo from the front with the main force of the 112th regiment.

The 113th regiment roundabout and outflanked, and launched an attack on Mansi, south of Bhamo, in an attempt to cut off the communication line here.

At the same time, the engineering regiment seized the time to build roads and bridges, and pulled the artillery and tank units to the predetermined positions.

Fighters and bombers from Myitkyina Airport also took off in batches to bombard the city of Bhamo non-stop.

Due to the limited strength of the Japanese army, there are still more than 5000 people stationed in Nankan.

According to the original plan, once Bhamo was violently attacked, the Japanese army stationed in Nankan would send troops for reinforcements.

If no reinforcements were received, everyone knew that with Yuan Haosan's more than 1000 troops, he would not be able to defend Bhamo at all.

Therefore, Yuan Haosan attaches great importance to the passage from Bhamo to Nankan.

The key to keeping this passage is to keep the small town in the middle called Muncie.

As long as Mansi can be defended, the transportation line from Bhamo to Nankan can be guaranteed.

Sun Liren also saw this, so after taking down the first line of defense on the Taiping River, he ordered the 113th regiment to send a battalion of troops to Mansi at full speed.

However, when the battalion of the 113th regiment was about to attack, it suddenly received an order to "stop the attack immediately".

This strange order appeared inexplicably from top to bottom.

The camp seat of the 113th regiment sent a telegram to ask the group seat, the group block asked the teacher seat again, and the teacher Li Hong asked Sun Liren again, Sun Liren could only say that this was an order from above.

The order was for the 113th regiment to move in the direction of Ruigu, and temporarily changed to attack Ruigu, and the attack on Mansi was replaced by the task of the Big Baby Rangers.

All the soldiers of the 113th regiment could only retreat indignantly.

With such an unreasonable arrangement, anyone can see that it was caused by the infantry behind.

As a reserve team, the advance group also received an order to intercept the Japanese reinforcements coming from Nankan on the road leading to the small town of Mansi.

Bula shouted angrily: "You bastard, why are you so shameless?"

Mi Long didn't fight the war, and was on fire in his heart: "I hope the little devils will wipe out all those shit Rangers, and let them reincarnate as individuals!"

Not to mention, his mouth seemed to have been opened, and his words became a prophecy.

A full Japanese squad was stationed at Muncie, and soon they discovered that the enemy had changed their clothes and replaced them with a group of infant soldiers.

To be honest, these Japanese soldiers really looked down on them. Back then, they were just chasing after the infant soldiers.

Many of the Japanese troops stationed in Muncie are veterans who have experienced the battlefield.

After discovering that the attacking opponent had been replaced by an infantry army, their morale immediately soared. Instead of retreating, they launched a fierce counter-charge.

As a result, as soon as the big baby ranger rushed up, they fought the little devil face to face with bayonets.

Infant soldiers are not good at assassination at all.

Killam secretly groaned in his heart, this gang of devils is at the end of their rope, they are all desperadoes, killing one before dying counts as one.

With the idea that life-saving is the most important thing, the Big Baby Ranger retreated in a hurry.

More than 400 infantry soldiers were chased by more than 50 devils.

"Hahaha... I laughed so hard!" Milong couldn't help laughing after seeing this scene.

Bula lay on the back of a big rock, looked at the pissed-off Big Baby Ranger, gloated and said, "You bastard, is the Baby Army still so cowardly!?"

Don't mention how embarrassing the retreating Big Baby Ranger was.

They really wanted to ask the advance team to help them out, but they couldn't say it out loud. No matter how shameless they were, they still needed some shame.
