Chapter 246
Tang Shouzhi really did not expect that the Japanese army in Guijie would suddenly become cowardly. Originally, according to Sun Liren's order, he planned to launch a violent offensive at dawn after an hour's rest to completely take Guijie down.

But unexpectedly, the remnants of the Japanese army in Guijie suddenly abandoned their positions, concentrated all their forces, and launched a breakout from the southeast corner.

The southeast corner is where the Daying Ranger joins the New [-]th Division, and the deployment of troops is relatively weak.

During the day, the Japanese army discovered that this direction was a loophole, so they concentrated their forces and launched a breakout operation from the narrow area where the Daying Ranger was stationed.

By the time Alexander called for support on the walkie-talkie, it was too late when the frontline troops mobilized their forces to encircle them. More than 300 Japanese troops broke out and fled toward the southeast mountain forest.

After hearing the news, Sun Liren slammed the table and angrily reprimanded Zeng Qi, the head of the 89th regiment who was in charge of the command: "Didn't your 89th regiment outflank you? Why did you let the little devil run away? You should know that an ally like Daying The army is simply unreliable!"

Zeng Qi could only accept the criticism in silence. It was all his fault for his carelessness. The Yingjun asked them to cooperate with the attack on Guijie, so he handed over a small area enclosed by the southeast corner to the Daying Rangers, thinking about using more than 400 troops It can be kept.

However, Daying is so unreliable, and he will fall off the chain at a critical moment.

Tang Shouzhi listened, sighed slightly, and admitted voluntarily: "Junzuo, the 89th regiment made a mistake when the Japanese army broke through the siege on Guijie. I am also jointly and severally responsible. It is my lack of expectation that caused such consequences. Please punish me." !"

Sun Liren shook his head: "Forget it, you can't blame all of you for this matter. When dealing with the Allied forces, you can't give up your mind, and you will learn your wisdom from a pitfall. This is a lesson."

Jia Youhui looked at the map and said: "According to the style of the Japanese army, it is impossible to give up Guijie so easily, these Japanese soldiers must have escaped by themselves.

Judging from the direction of their escape, they did not dare to flee directly to Xinwei along the highway.This has little impact on our army's offensive plan, and it has little impact on the advance regiment. It even saved a lot of time for our army to take Guijie!

The top priority now is not to hunt down these Japanese troops, but to advance to Xinwei as quickly as possible.

The speed of this attack exceeded expectations. Originally, I thought it would take at least half a month to capture Xinwei, but now it took only five days to conquer Guijie, which created a new opportunity for our army to capture Xinwei even faster. New dimension opportunity.

The main force of our army should catch up at full speed to rescue the besieged advance regiment! "

Sun Liren said worriedly: "It's been another night, I don't know how the advance team is doing now?"

An intelligence officer next to him immediately said: "An hour ago, I contacted the advance regiment. They said that the encircled Japanese army continued to attack their positions all night. One regiment has lost one-third of its personnel. Quickly go to support!"

Jia Youhui sighed: "The Japanese army is determined to eat up the advance group!"

When Sun Liren heard this, he was very anxious, and ordered: "The 89th Regiment of the New 38th Division and the 114th Regiment of the New [-]th Division, immediately advance lightly, and quickly go to Xinwei to support the advance regiment! The army rests for two hours, and then moves out!"

"Yes!" Various orders were quickly conveyed.

……

Just when the New First Army captured Guijie overnight and Sun Liren led the army, the advance group was fighting bloody battles with the encircled Japanese army.

"Solid defense, solid defense!" Meng Fan shouted loudly.

After a night of fierce fighting, Gao Fei's eyes were bloodshot, and fourteen lines were drawn on a stone in front of him.

This means that the Japanese army has launched fourteen consecutive attacks!

"Dodge the cannon, dodge the cannon!" Si Shila yelled loudly.

Before the shells fell, the soldiers of the advance regiment hid in the artillery holes dug by the Japanese army.

Hulala's shells fell on the position, more fierce than ever.

Tanaka Shinichi also went all out, and transferred an artillery squadron that was originally used to defend Lashio, and bombarded the hills all night.

Meng Fanlai hid in the re-dug and reinforced anti-battery hole, muttering in his mouth: "The little devil doesn't know how to change it. The artillery bombards, the infantry rushes, and the infantry rushes after the artillery bombards. How many times have you used this old-fashioned tactic?" It’s been a year, and I’ve already been fighting poorly, and I don’t have much ammunition reserves, so I’m still using this trick.”

Bu La said: "Yes, from the beginning of the attack, there were one hundred shells at first, then sixty shells in the middle, and now it is estimated that there are only twenty shells."

Wiping the mud splashed on his face, Milong smiled and said: "The little devil wants to blow up this mountain with shells. If such an idea was possible in the past, it is impossible now. If it were us The Artillery Regiment of the New First Army, that’s about the same.”

Gao Fei was not as optimistic as they were. Just now, McLuhan received a telegram from Sun Liren, telling them that Guijie had been conquered and the army was on its way here.

This is good news and bad news.

He knew that before the arrival of reinforcements, the enemy would definitely attack frantically!

The most important thing is that with continuous consumption, in the absence of logistical supplies, all kinds of ammunition are running out.

At this time, Tanaka Shinichi also received the information sent back by the scouts in front. The defenders in Guijie retreated privately. Guijie has fallen, and the army of the New First Army is heading to Xinwei!

"Bagaya Road!"

Tanaka Shinichi was so angry that he clenched his fists. If the defenders of Guijie persisted for a long time, he would almost be able to capture the hill ahead and eat up the entire advance group.

Now, if he continued to attack, even if the advance regiment was eaten, the troops he led would be bitten by the new army that arrived.

Kazuki Miyamoto persuaded: "General, this place is already very dangerous. Your status is extremely noble, representing the glory of the Great Japanese Empire. You should evacuate first and leave the task of attack to the people below to complete!"

Tanaka Shinichi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Miyamoto-kun, the battle is urgent, and it's too late to report to the headquarters for approval. I'll make an exception and promote you as the captain of the regiment and the supreme commander here! Give all the troops here to You command!"

"Hi!"

Happiness came so suddenly that Miyamoto nodded and bowed his legs together to express his thanks.

The 3000 people led by Tanaka Shinichi were all drawn from the surrounding strongholds, plus a brigade originally stationed in Xinwei, the total strength reached 100.

In the continuous attack last night, the advance regiment suffered nearly 700 casualties, and the Japanese army did the same, and the battle loss ratio was almost one to one!

Japanese soldiers can launch jade broken charges, and the advance regiment can also fight for their lives.

Now there are only 800 people left in the advance group on the mountain.

And after reporting from the forward observation post in the direction of Lashio, the enemy's 50th Division is moving towards Lashio.

So Tanaka Shinichi decided to leave [-] soldiers for Miyamoto, and he led [-] troops back to Lashio.

Lashio and Mandalay are the last defensive towns of the Japanese army in northern Myanmar. Once lost, the Japanese army will be unable to stand.

Therefore, he made an exception and promoted Kazuki Miyamoto as the captain of the regiment, and insisted on eliminating the advance regiment here.

Of course, the final result is obvious.

Miyamoto also knew that he would be dragged to death here by the advance group, and it was impossible for him to have time to withdraw.

But he really wanted to be a team leader to enjoy himself, even if it was only for a day or even half a day.

"Don't worry, general, even if I die, I will kill this group of enemies on the mountain!"

"Miyamoto-kun, thank you for your hard work. I will return to Lashio immediately to give you a promotion report, and I will entrust someone to take care of your family."

Miyamoto immediately stated: "Thank you General for your concern, I will definitely live up to your entrustment!"

Tanaka Shinichi nodded in satisfaction, patted Miyamoto on the shoulder, and after explaining everything, he returned to Lashio with a thousand troops.

……

Dead, dead, hid in the cat's ear hole, ate a few pages of biscuits, heard the sound of cannon outside stopped, poked his head out for a look, and shouted loudly: "The shelling is over, the little devil is going to attack again!"

Sure enough, in front of the positions that were shattered by shells, there appeared one after another Japanese army squads.

Miyamoto pressed all the troops up, and first carried out a round of bombardment with the [-]-step artillery.

Then use the machine gun to cover, and order the soldiers to charge towards the mountain from different directions!
The Japanese soldiers bowed their backs and kept advancing through the shallow craters blasted by the shells.

"Fire!" At a distance of more than 200 meters, Gao Fei gave the order to shoot.

There was a burst of gunshots on the top of the hill, and dozens of Japanese soldiers who were charging ahead fell down first.
