Chapter 310 Seventh Expedition to Burma (33)

After receiving Zhang Lieyang's call back, Liu Fengming thought for a while and said to Li Mutian: "I will lead the troops out tomorrow! I will leave this to you! If there is anything, you can send me a call immediately or discuss it with the division commanders and brigade commanders." At the same time, you old Li, don’t forget to ask the engineers to repair the surrounding forts!”

"Understood! Don't worry!" Li Mutian asked earnestly while speaking: "Old Liu, you haven't said to take those four divisions!" Hearing Li Mutian's words,

"I will keep the 778th Division, 781st Brigade and 782nd Brigade for defense! I will draw another brigade from the manpower supplementary division as a reserve team for you! I will take the rest of the troops!" Liu Fengming said seriously.

Early the next morning, Liu Fengming commanded four divisions and set off!Marching all the way quickly, Liu Fengming personally commanded the two brigades of the manpower replenishment division. After arriving at a place 777 kilometers away from Mawlamyine and joining the other three divisions, Liu Fengming immediately called all the division commanders together and said: "Order all the troops to hurry up tonight." Time to rest! Tomorrow morning at 779:780, the Manpower Supplement Division will lead the attack on Moulmein! Before launching the attack, the [-]th and [-]th Divisions must bypass Moulmein to block the Japanese reinforcements from Ba'an and Mysore! The [-]th Division As an army reserve!"

After hearing Liu Fengming's arrangement, Ge Fengming said anxiously: "Sir, let's take the lead in attacking Mawlamyine! During this period of time, our division has not fought any battles, and the brothers' mouths have already faded out!"

"Don't worry! There will be more battles in the future! If we successfully take down Mawlamyine, the 777th Division and 779th Division will immediately change their defense to an active offense!" Liu Fengming added.

After the meeting ended, Ge Fengming spent a long time at Liu Fengming's place. After finding no effect, Ge Fengming had no choice but to return to the army obediently and brought the army to the mobile position.

It was dawn in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Haiya looked at the already bright sky and said lightly: "Let the whole division prepare! Attack on Maolamian at [-]:[-]!" Standing behind Xiao Haiya, Pan Yueyang, the chief of staff, heard Xiao Haiya's words and immediately took Picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order.

After the order was issued, Pan Yueyang looked at Xiao Haiya's solemn expression and asked, "Master, why are you so sad?!"

"It's nothing, I'm just worried about how many people our manpower supplement division will leave after this battle?!" Xiao Haiya said lightly.Hearing what Xiao Haiya said, Pan Yueyang said with a smile: "Although our manpower supplement division has only one division number! But our unit is overstaffed! No one else knows about this except the two of us and the commander. ! If we fight well this time, the Commander’s face will be bright and we will have a better life in the future!”

Before Pan Yueyang could finish speaking, Xiao Haiya smiled wryly and said, "My brother-in-law is good at everything! He just doesn't take care of the family very much!" Xiao Haiya looked at his watch and said, "Let's go to the vicinity of Mawlamyine first, maybe it's interesting Unexpected benefits!"

Not long after, Xiao Haiya and Pan Yueyang, under the protection of the guard battalion, quietly came to a place not far from Mawlamyine!Under the protection of the dense forest, Xiao Haiya took out the binoculars and looked at it and said: "I didn't expect Maolamian to be in such a dilapidated state. When I will attack, let the first brigade charge me to the left! The second brigade, the first regiment and the second brigade The regiment feints head-on!"

After Xiao Haiya finished speaking, Pan Yueyang added: "Commander, I found that the dense forest on the left side of the devil seems to be in the wrong position! Could it be that the devil built fortifications there? If that is the case, the casualties would be as high as a brigade attacking to the left. It's going to be big!"

"I found out after you said it! Then I will use thirty 75mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, a brigade of fifty-stop anti-aircraft machine guns, and thirty 37mm anti-aircraft guns to clear the way for the first brigade! If there are really little devils there Fortifications, I think this firepower is enough!" Xiao Haiya said seriously.

After observing the position for a while, Xiao Haiya and Pan Yueyang had just returned to the camp when the walkie-talkie remembered.When Pan Yueyang picked up the walkie-talkie, he heard Liu Fengming say: "I'm Liu Fengming, I'm looking for Xiao Haiya!" So Pan Yueyang immediately handed the walkie-talkie to Xiao Haiya and said, "I'm looking for you!"

Xiao Haiya took the walkie-talkie and asked, "What do you want from me?!"

"The other ministries have already entered the designated positions in advance! The attack of your ministry has been brought forward to eight o'clock sharp!" Liu Fengming said seriously.

"Yes!" Xiao Haiya said as he turned off the walkie-talkie and said, "Order the artillery to launch an artillery attack on Moulmein at eight o'clock! Use grenades and incendiary bombs to clear the way for the attacking troops!"

At the same time when Xiao Haiya announced the battle plan, in the headquarters of the Japanese 39th Division in Mawlamyine, Major General Sanji Tiyi, the division commander, looked at the map and asked, "What did the Chinese army that set out from Bangkok get from the plane reconnaissance yesterday?" place?!"

The chief of staff, Major General Kumamoto Jinzo, looked at the report in his hand and said: "They have never acted since they arrived in Yicheng! However, according to reliable sources, the Chinese army has been mobilized frequently recently, and it is very likely that they will launch an attack on our Moulmein recently! "

"How is our secret fortification going now?!" Major General Sanjiti asked seriously.

"It's all done!" As he spoke, Kumamoto Jinzo took out a plan and said, "This fortification is effective unless it is attacked by fire or by planting a large amount of explosives from the ground. No matter where you use shells or Air bombing will not cause any damage!"

"To the west!" Sanjiti said excitedly.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost eight o'clock, Xiao Haiya looked at his watch while holding the walkie-talkie.When the second hand pointed to the last clock and reached eight o'clock, Xiao Haiya immediately ordered: "Fire!"

After receiving the order, the artillery shells shot into Mawlamyine accurately.The sound of the rumbling shells exploding pulled Sanji Tiyi, who was in a state of excitement, back, and asked, "What's going on here?! Where is the artillery firing?!"

At this moment, a soldier hurried up to Sanji Tiyi and said, "Your Excellency, division chief, the Chinese army has launched an attack on us!"

"Bageya Road!" Sanji Tiyi said angrily: "Order the 211th Infantry Regiment to immediately enter the newly built fortifications to stop the Chinese army! Order Matsuyuga Hideo's 210th Infantry Regiment to immediately countercharge the Chinese Army The Chinese Army fights back! The 212th Infantry Regiment serves as a reserve team and is responsible for guarding the city!"

Just after Sanjiti issued a series of orders, Sanjiti said to Kumamoto Shinzo, the chief of staff: "Immediately send a message to General Ichita Jiro, the commander of the Burmese Front Army. Mawlamyine was besieged by the Chinese army, and asked for reinforcements!"

After receiving a telegram from Mikichi Toichi, Ichita Jiro said to Ono Motoji, the chief of staff next to him: "Immediately order all the fighters of the No.11 Flying Division in Ba'an to take off immediately to support the 39th Division! Transfer the 48th Division and transfer the 51st Division from Mysore to reinforce Mawlamyine!"
