    Chapter 340: Allied Forces Retake Burma (2)

    Just as the Japanese soldiers ran into the air raid shelter, the attacking Chinese infantrymen all quietly charged forward with their guns in hand, braving their own artillery fire.  (_¡¶¡·) Artillery shells exploded around the soldiers from time to time, and the dust they rolled up covered the soldiers' bodies.

    The artillery observation post found that the charging target was only 50 meters away from the Japanese position, and immediately notified the artillery command to extend the artillery fire.  The artillery immediately pushed the scale farther away and aimed shelling at the deep positions of the Magui defenders.

    The commander of the Japanese soldiers immediately ordered the soldiers to run out of the artillery hole, "Quick, quick, the Chinese are about to attack."

    The Japanese soldiers had just rushed out of the artillery hole, and the Chinese soldiers had already rushed into the position.  The trench underfoot was almost filled in, leaving only a shallow ditch.  The submachine guns in the hands of the Japanese soldiers opened fire violently, and tongues of flame rolled towards the Japanese army.

    The Japanese soldiers were immediately knocked down. As soon as the Japanese soldiers behind them pulled the bolt of their guns, bullets that looked like splashing water were fired at them. The Japanese soldiers in front immediately ran back.  The Japanese soldiers behind were overwhelmed and had no choice but to run backwards.

    The Japanese soldiers in the forward position were chased and driven out of the position by the Chinese soldiers. The Japanese troops immediately retreated and consolidated the forward position.  The Japanese soldiers attacking the position immediately moved forward, and a large number of heavy machine guns and flat-firing artillery were deployed on the position.

    The Japanese soldiers who had lost their forward position were extremely unwilling to fail. They counterattacked three times in a row, but were all repelled by the enemy.

    Because of the rainy season, the Japanese aviation division has not been able to drop bombs to the squadron's position.  At this time, the rainy season was over, and Japanese fighter planes took off from Beili Airport to bomb the positions just occupied by the Chinese ***.

    Yue Hanping, who had been prepared for a long time, built an air defense position outside Magui. He was ready with about a hundred anti-aircraft machine guns and dozens of 37 rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns.  The air defense armored vehicles of the Chinese Expeditionary Force Armored Corps also watched the sky above them closely. The vehicle-mounted air defense radar kept rotating, capturing any suspicious target in the sky.

    When the Japanese military aircraft entered the radar scanning range, the armored anti-aircraft vehicle immediately sounded the alarm, and each air defense position immediately pointed its muzzle and muzzle at the sky.

    The roaring motor sounds of Japanese aircraft were getting closer and closer. When more than 20 Japanese aircraft entered the fire range, the Chinese ** team's anti-aircraft fire was the first to open fire. "Boom, boom, boom" dense shells from the anti-aircraft guns were fired into the sky, exploding in the Japanese aircraft group.  The Japanese aircraft dodged the shells, and the pilots used their skills to shuttle through the fire net. Finally, several aircraft broke through the anti-aircraft fire interception.

    The anti-aircraft machine guns and vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns on the position opened fire at the same time, shooting strings of bullets at the Japanese aircraft.  The three Japanese aircraft that rushed down first were hit by bullets, trailing black smoke and plummeting to the ground.

    The anti-aircraft firepower on the ground fired fiercely at the Japanese fighter planes, forcing the Japanese bombers to dare not lower their altitude. The Japanese bomber pilots circled in a circle and had no choice but to drop bombs at the suspected squadron positions.

    Rows of bombs flew down, and most of them deviated from their positions. A small number of bombs fell on the squadron's position, and the destructive power was not very great.

    Within ten minutes, the American fighter planes taking off from Mandalay rushed to the sky above Magway, and the planes of both sides started fighting in the vast sky.  The performance of the P-40 fighters flown by American pilots was slightly inferior to the Japanese Zero fighters, but there were a large number of American fighters and they surrounded the Japanese fighters with small unit tactics.

    In the vast sky, planes chased each other, and the sound of machine guns and cannons shook the sky. From time to time, planes dragged black smoke into the embrace of the earth. The planes that were hit by shrapnel exploded in the air and turned into a group of bright fireworks.

    Under the tenacious interception of American pilots, the Japanese aircraft were driven from the battlefield, and the Allies firmly controlled the air superiority.

    The northwest direction of Magui is the highway from Ren'anqiang to Magui. The terrain here is relatively flat, with only hills and no steep mountainous areas.  Yue Hanping concentrated the armored corps in the northwest and deployed the 20th Army here to cooperate with the armored corps' attack.

    The forward position was breached by the enemy. General Huang Wei, commander of the Armored Corps, immediately deployed three divisions to prepare for an assault.  At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Expeditionary Force had just stopped shelling, and the Japanese soldiers had not yet breathed a sigh of relief.

    The Japanese troops in the northwest suddenly heard a roaring engine sound. This sound was very familiar to them. It was the engine sound of the Sherman tank that shocked the battlefield in Burma.

    Before the Japanese could react, the gray steel fortresses roared and revealed their ferocious faces.  The muzzle of the tank was spitting out fire, the machine gun on the vehicle was screaming ferociously, and long tongues of flame were lashing the Japanese troops on the position.

    Behind the tanks followed groups of infantry, each carrying a large sack.  The tank stopped advancing in front of the anti-tank trench. Under the cover of the tank, the infantry behind threw the sacks on their shoulders into the anti-tank trench and filled them in one by one. In about fifty minutes, roads paved with sacks appeared in the anti-tank trench.  In the trench.

    Tank vehicleAt high speed, they rushed through the anti-tank ditch on a 6-meter-wide road paved with sacks filled with soil, and approached the Japanese core defensive position circle.  The Japanese built many bunkers here and deployed some flat-fire cannons or anti-tank guns.

    When a tank rushed over first, there was a Japanese bunker on the left front. An anti-tank shell was fired fiercely, and the front armor of the tank made a loud bang. The tank soldiers thought that the shell would tear through the armor and get in.  Unexpectedly, the shell only made a big hole in the armor, and the tank was not damaged at all.

    The tank crews were secretly thankful that the Little Devil's 37 anti-tank gun could not cause fatal damage to the Sherman with thickened armor protection.  Based on the trajectory of the shells, the commander quickly discovered the Japanese bunker in the periscope. The gunner lowered the muzzle and pressed the gun button. The muzzle flashed, and a 76 tank shell came out of the muzzle and hit the bunker directly.

    There was a loud "boom", and a big hole was suddenly opened in the Japanese bunker.  Immediately afterwards, another artillery shell was fired from the tank, and the Japanese bunker was blown up.  The tank roared on the accelerator, accelerated, and the huge body rolled over the bunker.  The collapsed bunker and remaining Japanese soldiers were crushed to the ground.

    The Chinese tank troops drove more than 400 tanks and divided into three lines to attack the core defensive position of Magway from the northwest, charging all the way.  The tank soldiers who were a little afraid of the Japanese anti-tank at first, after actual combat, found that the Sherman tank with thickened armor protection was not afraid of the Japanese 37 anti-tank gun at all.

    So, the Chinese tank soldiers boldly drove the tank directly towards the Japanese bunker. The gunner first fired a shell to blast open the bunker, and then the huge car body pressed onto the bunker, crushing it into a pulp together with the Japanese soldiers inside.  Some tank soldiers were reluctant to even shoot artillery shells, and just rolled over the bunker.  The huge steel body repeatedly crushed the bunker, finally crushing it and flattening it.

    The defensive circle of the core position, regarded by the Japanese as impregnable, was easily breached by Chinese tanks.  With the support of tanks, Chinese soldiers quickly developed from the breach to both sides and captured the Japanese second line of defense.

    The second line of defense is the core defense zone of the Japanese, densely covered with a large number of bunkers. The Japanese army originally intended to use the bunkers to consume a large number of Chinese soldiers' lives.  Unexpectedly, the Chinese tanks were so powerful that they were not afraid of anti-tank guns, so the core defensive position was quickly broken through by the Chinese troops.

    It only took five hours to capture the second line of defense. Even Yue Hanping couldn't believe this result.  Yue Hanping, who was at the headquarters, was overjoyed as he read the battle report.  The armor thickness of the Sherman tank was installed by Yue Hanping based on the armor-breaking standards of German anti-tank weapons. The Japanese soldiers in the Burma battlefield still use the 37 anti-tank gun. Of course, this old-fashioned anti-tank gun cannot penetrate the Sherman tank.  Man tank.

    Yue Hanping saw that it was getting late and ordered a temporary halt to the attack. All troops strictly guarded their positions and strengthened their alert to prevent the Japanese army from sneaking into our positions at night.
