The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Obviously, there are quite a few machine guns firing in this direction in the distance.

"Baga! Hurry up and retreat!!!"

Seeing the people around him being constantly beaten to death, the little devil commander immediately yelled in horror, turned his horse's head around immediately, and hurriedly prepared to retreat far away, out of the effective range of the Chinese army's machine guns.

Just after running tens of meters away, suddenly, the little devil commander felt a huge pain in his back, and several machine gun bullets hit the little devil commander, and soon, the little devil commander fell headfirst.

In the end, in the whole cavalry regiment of the Japanese army, only more than 100 people managed to escape, and the remaining officer with the highest rank was only a Major, who looked at the more than 100 remnants, feeling disheartened, Unconcious. [

*******

On a main road leading to Lashio, a large group of little devils was marching, which was also one of the Japanese troops to reinforce Lashio.

Twenty or thirty large trucks, full of little devils, headed north along the highway. Behind the convoy, there was a brigade of little devils following, and the number of little devils was at least one regiment.

The little devil's team was not far ahead, only a few kilometers away, and a large number of soldiers were already waiting seriously. The soldiers were two infantry regiments, and they had built a large number of fortifications to cut off the road.

"Captain! The little devil's reinforcements are here!"

"Ready to fight!!!"

A large number of soldiers were getting ready to fight. At this time, another soldier came trotting all the way and said loudly: "Regimental Commander! Many little devils who escaped from Lashio City are fleeing along this road."

It seems.The little devils are about to abandon the city and flee south, and their position may be attacked by the enemy, and there should be a fierce battle next.

As several major groups of the Chinese army approached Lashio and almost formed an encirclement of Lashio, the Supreme Command of the Japanese Army in Southeast Asia has issued an order to abandon Lashio to break out of the encirclement in the south and withdraw to the southern city of Mandalay.

The two divisions that went north for reinforcements turned into supporting the Japanese army in Lashio to break through and retreat to the south.

The 28th Group Army will bear the brunt, and the 28th Group Army will defend the south of Lashio City.The 28th Army, with more than [-] men, wanted to control the defense line of more than ten kilometers in the south of Lashio City, face the tens of thousands of little devils withdrawing from Lashio City, and block the two Japanese field divisions going north for reinforcements.

The task of the 28th Group Army is very heavy. Although this is one of the main roads, the deployment of two infantry regiments is already the limit of the 28th Group Army.

"Regiment commander! There are many Japanese troops, at least one field infantry regiment."

An alliance came in one breath.It seems that there are more Japanese troops behind.This wing must have been only one of its vanguard.

Soon, the Japanese army came up and defended the two infantry regiments in this area, which were the first regiment and the second regiment of the 28rd Infantry Division of the [-]th Army. This area is one of the defense areas of the [-]rd Infantry Division.

The reinforcements of the Japanese army came up on a large scale. The two regiments reported the situation to their division headquarters and ordered the soldiers to stop the Japanese army.

Two infantry regiments, the first infantry regiment defended on several hills on the left side of the road.The second infantry regiment is defending on the hill on the right. The two infantry regiments form horns, work together and cover each other.

Soon, the battle started.

Obviously, the order received by this Japanese army was to go north quickly, and the battle began.The little devils launched a large-scale attack, and the fierce battle between the two sides lasted for almost an hour. After thousands of little devils died and injured, they slowly retreated. [

but.The little devils did not give up. It seemed that the little devils were preparing to organize a larger-scale attack.

"Captain! Look, there are a lot of little devils and tanks ready to come up."

After the little devil's first attack failed, the little devil's follow-up reinforcements also caught up. There were also a lot of little devils who came up behind, and they were equipped with more than a dozen tanks and a number of armored vehicles. Obviously, next, the little devils Prepare to use the lead of these chariots to attack the warriors.

Seeing that the little devil's tank was about to come up, the leader of the first regiment was a little worried. The soldiers used up a lot of ammunition just now. He is an old national army who participated in the Battle of Wuhan, and he has a shadow of the little devil's tank.

Back then, in the Battle of Wuhan, facing the little devil's tank, usually after paying a lot of casualties, a death squad was organized to use explosives to deal with a little devil's tank with difficulty.

This time, I don't know whether my bazooka can destroy these tanks. The 28th Army is also fighting against the little devils for the first time after reorganization and reequipment.

However, this time without using the bazooka.

The headquarters of the 28th Army knew that the first and second infantry regiments of the third infantry division were blocking a large number of Japanese troops, and decisively ordered the tank regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment of the third infantry division to attack. .

At this time, a large number of little devils, led by more than a dozen little devil chariots, launched a large-scale attack again.

Looking at the large number of little devils in the distance, more people than their own infantry regiment, the two regiment leaders secretly worried that another fierce battle would follow.

"Captain! Our reinforcements will be here soon."

A communications soldier ran over happily, holding a telegram, and shouted loudly.

"Okay! The division commander is generous this time, sending all the tank regiment and mechanical infantry regiment."

Soldiers know that tank regiments and mechanical infantry regiments are the division commander's treasures. It's no wonder that the 28th Army used to be a national army. When did it have so many tanks and armored vehicles? One infantry division was equipped with one tank regiment. The mechanical infantry regiment was unthinkable before.

This time, the third infantry division was defending in this area. The commander of the third division dispatched all six infantry regiments to the designated positions to stop the little devils. Reserve position.

The defense area of ​​the Third Infantry Division is less than ten kilometers away from Lashio City. The terrain in this area is relatively flat, with only a few hills. Most of the places are either gentle slopes or plains, which are very suitable for the deployment of mechanized troops.

Not long after, the little devils' charge had just begun, and the little devils had just entered the range of the soldiers when the tank regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment came over.

Whether it is a Type 39 tank, a Type 39 armored personnel carrier, a wheeled combat vehicle or an off-road vehicle, they all have outstanding off-road capabilities, and they are like walking on flat ground in this area.

A large number of chariots did not follow the road, but spread all over the mountains and plains. They came in such a mighty way, majestic and very spectacular.

"Haha! Our chariot troops are here."

Quite a few commanders, seeing so many chariots approaching, burst out laughing with joy. Just now, everyone saw the large-scale attack of the little devils, and everyone was still faintly worried.

The little devils who charged were still full of confidence at first, thinking that they would be able to break through the Chinese army's position with the guidance of the chariots. However, the situation took a turn for the worse, and so many chariots suddenly appeared. [

"Baga! The armored group of the Chinese army!"

Seeing such a right chariot, many little devils officers shouted in horror. The Chinese chariots are so powerful, and the little devils have already learned about them. This time, such a chariot suddenly appeared, and the little devils are not scared. To die.

The little devil infantry who were charging behind their tanks also turned pale with fright when they saw a large number of tanks appearing in the distance. They stopped charging without waiting for orders from above. Ready to give up the charge, ready to retreat.

The chariot unit of the third infantry division came very quickly. In just a few minutes, they came into contact with the little devil's charge. Many tanks began to fire at the little devil's team. Armored vehicles, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and off-road vehicles The 30mm cannons on the aircraft also fired one after another.

The dozen or so chariots of the little devil were the first to bear the brunt, and were quickly destroyed by the Type 39 tanks. Even the little devil's infantry suffered a lot of casualties.

The First Infantry Regiment and the Second Infantry Regiment, under the leadership of their regiment commanders, a large number of soldiers rushed down from their positions, followed the chariots, and launched a counter-charge against the little devil.

Immediately, the little devil was defeated and suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers chased the little devil for three or four kilometers and wiped out thousands of enemies.

As soon as the soldiers returned to their positions, a large number of little devils who fled from the Lashio rout also arrived here. It is less than 10 kilometers away from the city of Lashio, and it will not take long for the little devils to escape here.

Soon, the soldiers exchanged fire with these fleeing little devils. These fleeing little devils had low combat effectiveness and almost no will to fight. , and the rest were all captured.

The 1st, 2nd, 13th, and 15th armies of the Chinese army, a total of four major groups, invaded the city before noon and started street fighting with the little devils.

However, the little devils had already received the order to abandon Lashio. The little devils fought and retreated. The soldiers took control of the entire Lashio in the afternoon. retreat south.

The 28th Army tightened its pockets in the south. Even if the 28 to [-] little devils were supported by two divisions, they failed to break through the [-]th Army's defense line.

In the evening, the other major armies rushed over one after another. The [-] to [-] little devils faced the well-equipped and large number of Chinese troops. They did not resist for long. captured.

And the two Japanese divisions that went north to reinforce and respond were also wiped out a lot. Seeing that his Lashio defenders were almost wiped out, the little devil also stopped going north to reinforce and respond, and retreated southward in embarrassment.
