- Chapter 342: Allied Forces Retake Burma (4)
A dense fire net hooded the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers were immediately knocked down. Some of the remaining Japanese soldiers had just pulled the bolt of their rifles, and some were beaten up by the gunmen rushing from the opposite side before they had time to pull the bolts of their rifles. The weapons of the Chinese soldiers were too powerful, and the Japanese rifles were simply incomparable.
The third company separated a platoon to consolidate the breakthrough, and the rest, led by the company commander, joined the attack. Captain Li of the second echelon lost no time in leading a battalion to follow up on the breakthrough. Later, the battalion that suffered heavy losses in the first attack also rushed in.
Seeing that the two breaches were successfully occupied, the division commander Xiang Wenbin immediately ordered the remaining two regiments to follow up from the breaches. The division commander himself also grabbed a submachine gun, put a helmet on it, and ran out of the headquarters. The few guards at the back quickly followed up, getting in front of the division commander, and used their bodies to cover the division commander.
At the second breakthrough in Magui City, the Japanese counterattacked like crazy, but were resisted by the soldiers led by Commander Li. Bullets flew past the Japanese soldiers, and grenades exploded nearby. The Japanese soldiers stood at the breach without fear, and the two sides launched a fierce battle.
Commander Xiang Wenbin led two regiments to charge up. Captain Li was shocked when he saw the division commander coming up. He hurriedly leaned over and said, "Commander, why did you come up? This is too dangerous. Wait for the troops to consolidate the breakthrough and attack in depth before you can It¡¯s not too late to come in!¡±
Xiang Wenbin didn¡¯t answer. He opened fire with the submachine gun in his hand, knocked down several Japanese soldiers who were rushing over, and then said loudly: "What nonsense! Charge with me!"
The division commander personally went into battle, and the morale of the soldiers of the newly formed 49th Division greatly increased. Thousands of brothers rushed forward bravely with guns in hand. Intense firepower mopped up the Japanese soldiers rushing up row by row, and the breakthrough was finally firmly in the hands of the Japanese soldiers.
Xiang Wenbin immediately ordered: "The troops develop in depth, and each unit moves forward bravely, fighting as many people as there are people, and the soldiers automatically combine. In a word, rush forward with all your strength, and use swift and violent movements. Split the Japanese army."
When Yue Hanping heard that he was attacking Wenbin's division, he immediately adjusted his forces and ordered the Armored Corps and the New First Army to follow up from the northwest breach to expand the results.
Yang Hanyu, commander of the 20th Army, ordered the 133rd and 134th Divisions to quickly follow the newly formed 49th Division into the city to expand the breakthrough. After the newly formed 49th Division entered the city, it tried its best to expand on both wings and open a breakthrough.
Li Linzhao's regiment attacked along the left side of the city wall, and Huang Wenpu's regiment attacked along the right side. Captain Li had just rushed out more than a hundred meters when he encountered a group of Japanese soldiers running down the city wall. The panicked Japanese soldiers had just raised their guns when a row of hot bullets came towards them.
The Japanese soldiers fell to pieces, and the remaining Japanese soldiers hurriedly ran to both sides of the street. Commander Li shouted: "First battalion commander, your people quickly go to the city wall and seize the tower for me. Take control!"
The commander of the first battalion waved his hand, and the brothers of the first battalion followed the battalion commander and rushed up the steps of the city wall. The Japanese soldiers on the city wall opened fire to stop them. The brothers of the first battalion braved the Japanese bullets and kept firing with their submachine guns.
**The fierce firepower broke through the Japanese obstruction, and the soldiers of the first battalion successfully rushed to the city wall. On the city wall, Chinese and Japanese soldiers fought fiercely. The Japanese soldiers threw a row of grenades over, and the Japanese soldiers picked up the grenades and threw them back.
The soldiers of the first battalion rushed to a tower. Several soldiers saw the Japanese soldiers inside holding machine guns and firing outside the stubborn Xiangcheng wall. A few grenades were thrown in, and there was a loud "boom". The Japanese soldiers rushed to the door of the building, pointed the submachine gun in their hands and fired fiercely.
A platoon of soldiers pushed away the Japanese corpses, cleaned up the Japanese weapons and ammunition, picked out the weapons that could still be used, set up the Japanese heavy machine guns, put on the bullet protectors, and pointed the guns at the Japanese soldiers on the wall and fired fiercely.
The remaining soldiers rushed forward quickly, the submachine guns in their hands spitting out tongues of fire. The Japanese soldiers were in chaos, and they hid in the nearby tower to resist.
?? **Grenade shooter, find a shelter, insert the grenade, aim at the tower in front and send a grenade over. "Boom", the air wave from the explosion of the shell pushed the body of a Japanese soldier out of the tower and flew in the air.
As more and more Japanese soldiers rushed into the city, the Japanese soldiers on the city wall ran down the city wall and retreated to the street area.
The 133rd Division took out an infantry regiment and attacked along the city wall. After all, the number of stubborn Japanese troops remaining on the city wall was not large. Under the fierce attack of the enemy, the Japanese troops on the city wall continued to retreat.
Huang Wei, commander of the Armored Corps, led the armored troops into the city. According to street fighting tactics, the tanks immediately dispersed and actively followed the infantry detachment that entered the city in front.
The mechanical infantrymen attached to the Armored Corps jumped off the armored personnel carriers one after another and searched forward along the street. Armored vehicles slowly followed behind, and their machine guns fired at windows and houses on both sides of the street.
2 hours later?The southeastern city wall was also blown down. Three infantry divisions of the Youth Army rushed into the breach and charged in depth, stepping on the corpses of the Japanese.
The 71st Army was responsible for intercepting small groups of Japanese troops rushing out outside the city. Three infantry divisions tightly blocked the east, south and west directions.
General Weng Zhaoyuan, commander of the Youth Army, also entered the city with his guard battalion after the infantry division entered the city. Commander Weng suddenly remembered that the Jiangqiao on the Irrawaddy River to the west was still in the hands of the Japanese, and he must capture the Jiangqiao as soon as possible to cut off the Japanese's retreat.
Commander Weng immediately ordered the radio operator, "Call the 201st Division!" Soon, the radio operator contacted Wang Shenyuan, the commander of the 201st Division. Weng Zhaoyuan took the intercom and said, "Hey! Is this Wang Shenyuan? Listen to me. Take your people with you and seize the Irrawaddy River Bridge for me to cut off the Japanese's retreat!"
After receiving the order, Commander Wang Shenyuan immediately ordered his three regiments to rush westward in three directions along the south city wall, regardless of any obstruction, to occupy Jiangqiao as quickly as possible.
Shen Yanhua, the leader of the forward regiment, received the order from the division commander, found a secluded place, and asked the guards to take out a map and spread it on the ground. The regiment leader's fingers were scratching on the map, "Mom, we are here, 4 miles away from Jiangqiao." A block, we have to rush all the way."
The regiment leader raised his head and ordered the ordering soldier: "Go, tell the three battalion commanders not to be reluctant to fight. If you encounter Japanese firepower, leave a small number of troops to deal with him. The main force will rush forward for me! What I want is time and speed. !¡±
"Yes! Commander!" The ordering soldier replied simply, without even saluting, he turned around and ran away.
Commander Shen's troops rushed forward along the streets under the city wall. The Japanese barricades in front were spitting fire fiercely, blocking the enemy's way. The leading soldier in the vanguard took out a grenade, pulled out the circlip and threw it at the Japanese. A burst of smoke rose, and the three soldiers rushed out quickly with the help of the cover of the smoke.
He ran a few meters away. The Japanese machine guns screamed wildly, and dense bullets were fired at them. The three soldiers rolled on the spot to avoid the bullets. After finding the cover, looking for the opportunity, and throwing a few grenades, the smoke rose again, and the three soldiers quickly rushed a few meters away.
A soldier was hit by a Japanese machine gun while charging. He was stunned and fell to the ground. The other two soldiers used the cover of grenade explosions to approach the barricade.
About 15 meters away from the barricade, two soldiers threw seven or eight grenades at one go. A series of explosions sounded, and the Japanese soldiers howled. The two soldiers took the opportunity to rush over, lying on the sandbags of the barricade, and fired violently with their submachine guns.
The Japanese soldiers behind the barricade were beaten until they screamed and retreated one after another. The two soldiers climbed over the sandbags and occupied a small fortification built with sandbags.
With the Japanese soldiers¡¯ firepower suppressed, the subsequent Japanese soldiers quickly rushed over and occupied the sandbag fortifications. A platoon of Japanese soldiers occupied the sandbag fortifications, set up machine guns and fired at the Japanese troops in front, suppressing the Japanese firepower.
The main force took the opportunity to avoid the barricades and rushed forward. The Japanese soldiers desperately fired at the Japanese soldiers with side fire. The soldiers braved the flying bullets and rushed forward.
After rushing through the barricade, more than 20 soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
Commander Shen led the entire regiment of officers and soldiers to break through several layers of Japanese interceptions and rushed through four blocks. It took nearly two hours. When you pass the last block, more than 600 meters ahead is the tall Irrawaddy River Bridge.
This river bridge was built by the British. It is entirely made of steel and has a solid structure. The Japanese soldiers placed a fully-organized brigade on the bridge, with 800 people stationed at the bridge.
60 meters outside the bridge is a fortification surrounded by sandbags, 30 meters behind the sandbags, and in front of both sides of the river bridge are two solid reinforced concrete bunkers, plum blossom-shaped bunkers, four stories high.
This is the only retreat for the Japanese army. Therefore, the Japanese army is determined to defend this iron bridge.
Captain Shen Yanhua pondered slightly. The other two regiments had not arrived yet. It would be quite difficult for one of his regiments to occupy this heavily guarded bridge.
Time is tight and there is no room for overthinking. Commander Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, even if I kill all my regiment today, I still have to capture this bridge."
Capture several adjacent houses in the last block, and the regiment leader will use this as the starting point for the attack. The regiment's mortars immediately looked for positions, measured the scale, and fired hard at the sandbag fortifications.
The Japanese soldiers in the bunker fired back without showing any signs of weakness. The artillery battle between the two sides was fierce and the sound of artillery was rumbling. Several attacks were repelled by the powerful firepower of the Japanese army only 30 meters away from the sandbags.
While Captain Shen was extremely anxious, gunfire broke out on the right side of the street, and the shouts of killing were loud. An anti-Japanese force occupied the block in front of the right side of Jiangqiao. Commander Shen raised his telescope and took a look. It turned out that the 602nd Regiment had arrived.
The two regiments attacked from the left and right sides, which greatly dispersed the Japanese firepower. After a while, a group of people also appeared in the block facing the bridge.??** troops. The 603rd Regiment also rushed to the battlefield.
Especially the position of the 603rd Regiment, which is only 200 meters away from the bridge. The 603rd regiment's flat-fire artillery poses a great threat to the Japanese bunker. The regimental commander ordered all the guns and heavy firepower on the position to open fire to suppress the enemy's firepower. He fired three cannons at a level and advanced to a place only 100 meters away from the enemy.
