    Chapter 351 The Allies Recover Burma (13)

    The police in the bunker discussed the buried simple microphone (a steel pipe with a bamboo tube at both ends) and decided to send a soldier to each bunker to crawl forward quietly to check the situation.  Each of the three soldiers carried 12 grenades, a submachine gun, and four magazines.

    10 meters away from the Japanese soldiers, they could clearly hear the movements of the Japanese soldiers. They heard the sound of "rustling" digging coming from the front.  The three soldiers understood that the Japanese were digging tunnels in an attempt to separate the two positions.

    The three soldiers threw grenades almost at the same time. Three loud bangs were heard, and the Japanese soldiers digging the tunnel screamed.  In the light of the explosion, I could faintly see the Japanese soldiers panicking.

    The three soldiers threw a grenade again, and at the same time pointed the submachine guns in their hands at the tunnel and fired fiercely.  The three soldiers opened fire together. The Japanese in the tunnel discovered the position of the soldiers. They relied on the tunnel and fired back.

    The Japanese soldiers on the position heard the gunfire and immediately entered the fighting position.  At Position 1, Company Commander Zhu Yunting took a closer look at the situation and saw between the two positions, Japanese soldiers fired rows of bullets in the direction of the bunker.  Company Commander Zhu was shocked, "Damn it, the Japanese soldiers' tunnels have been dug into the positions."

    Company Commander Zhu immediately ordered a platoon to detour from the back of the position to the bunker area and launch a counterattack against the Japanese.  He led the soldiers on the position and provided fire support.

    A platoon of gunmen quietly moved toward the bunker area. The bunker did not fire and did not expose its firepower points.  Three Japanese soldiers who discovered the Japanese army were mistaken for soldiers on guard duty by the Japanese army.

    The Japanese soldiers of the platoon that carried out the counterattack quickly detoured back to the bunker area by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain. Under the leadership of those three soldiers, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.

    Rows of grenades were thrown into the Japanese tunnels, causing a series of explosions. With the light of the explosions, Japanese soldiers opened fire violently at the Japanese troops.  Dense bullets rained down on the Japanese soldiers, who screamed.

    The Japanese soldiers rushed into the tunnel quickly, the submachine guns in their hands kept spitting out tongues of fire, making the Japanese soldiers retreat uncontrollably.  However, when they attacked the tunnel defense circle of the Japanese soldiers, they encountered a fierce counterattack by the Japanese. The firepower on the defense circle was intensive, and the attacking Japanese soldiers could only retreat to their positions.

    The Japanese soldiers on positions 1 and 2 could only stick to their respective positions and confront the Japanese.  For this reason, the battalion commander of the Chinese defenders at the beachhead immediately telegraphed to Division Commander Jiang Weiguo that the Japanese army used tunnel approach tactics to surround our two beachhead positions and requested reinforcements from the division commander.

    Division Commander Jiang Weiguo ordered the pontoon bridge troops to work overtime to repair the pontoon bridge, and ordered the armored troops to be ready to cross the river at any time.  On the west bank of the Salween River, the Chinese ** team's position was brightly lit. The soldiers of the pontoon bridge unit used their hard-trained skills to build the pontoon bridge nervously and orderly.

    At two o'clock in the morning, the officers and soldiers of the pontoon bridge finally screwed in the last screw to fix the pontoon bridge.  The tanks of the 1st Armored Regiment immediately and carefully maneuvered the tanks and slowly drove onto the pontoon bridge.

    Under the pontoon are two rows of stacked empty gasoline barrels. Under the gasoline barrels is a raft made of giant logs tied together. Next to the raft are wooden piles nailed every three meters, and the wooden piles are fixed with steel cables.  The gasoline barrel is covered with a steel plate, holes are drilled in the steel plate, and screws are nailed to fix it.

    Tanks drove carefully across the Salween River one after another. Chiang Weiguo left an armored anti-aircraft regiment stationed on the pontoon, waiting for the arrival of the main force. The main force crossed the river at night.

    Two tank regiments and two mechanized infantry battalions quickly crossed the river and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from behind positions 1 and 2.  In the quiet night, the Japanese soldiers in the tunnel defense circle rested in batches.  The Japanese soldiers who had just closed their eyes suddenly heard a thunderous roar, and the Japanese soldiers woke up immediately.

    Listen carefully, it¡¯s the sound of the engine.  If there is such a big movement, it must be that the main force of the Chinese armored division has arrived.  Colonel Nakamori, who was in the Japanese position, heard the noise and his heart suddenly tightened.

    Within a moment, a bright beam of light illuminated half of the sky, and the dazzling beam of light made it difficult for the Japanese soldiers to open their eyes.  Colonel Nakamori immediately ordered: "Everyone is on combat readiness and ready to fire!"

    The tunnel defense circle and the Japanese positions in the rear all entered combat mode. The Chinese tanks slowed down, formed a fan-shaped formation, and slowly advanced.  The armored personnel carrier behind immediately stopped, and all the infantry carried on the vehicle got off the vehicle and followed the tank to the left and right to accompany the attack.

    300 meters away from the Japanese position, the tank's headlights could clearly see the Japanese position in front, and the vaguely shaking figure of the Japanese could be seen.  The Chinese tanks immediately fired at the Japanese positions, and the 20-meter machine gun mounted on the armored personnel carrier roared fiercely.

    The Japanese light and heavy machine guns fired wildly, with dense bulletsShoot at the attacking tank.  Tank shells landed on the Japanese positions one by one, and the flames of the explosion made the sky red. With the help of the flames of the explosion, the armored vehicle's on-board machine gun accurately fired at the Japanese fire points.

    120 meters away from the Japanese position, several flat-fire cannons in the Japanese position flashed with fire, and two shells hit a Chinese tank at the front. The Chinese tank made a loud noise, and a bright fireball enveloped the tank.  The tank came to an abrupt stop, and a wounded tank machine gunner climbed out of the tank and rolled out.

    Almost at the same time, the Chinese tanks that discovered the firepower point of the Japanese anti-tank guns immediately fired back with several shells. The 76mm shells roared and landed on the Japanese position. Amidst the roar, one of the Japanese anti-tank guns was blown up and another was injured.

    The Chinese tanks, which were getting closer and closer, drove to a distance of 30 meters from the Japanese positions, and violently swept the Japanese positions with vehicle-mounted machine guns. Strings of smoke and dust rose in the firelight.

    The armored vehicles also boldly advanced to a distance of 30 meters from the Japanese position. The vehicle-mounted machine guns fired "beep-duk-duk". In comparison, the suppressive power of the machine guns was even greater than that of the machine guns.  20 machine gun shells hit the Japanese, cutting the Japanese's body in half without hesitation.

    The frightened Japanese soldiers kept seeing their comrades being torn apart and their limbs cut off, and their will to fight was finally destroyed.  I don't know who took the lead in running back, and the Japanese soldiers on the position rushed back in a swarm.

    The mechanized infantry attached to the armored division immediately rushed forward. The submachine guns in their hands screamed "ta da da da" and bullets chased the Japanese butts and fired fiercely.  The tanks followed up with a roar, and finally the steel fortress slowly rushed into the Japanese position.

    The wounded of the Japanese soldiers were stabbed to death with bayonets by the Chinese infantry who rushed to the position. The desperadoes holding bomb bags or cluster grenades were shot into a hornet's nest by the dense vehicle-mounted machine guns or infantry submachine gun bullets, and fell in a pool of blood.  twitch.

    Colonel Nakamori was held back by the soldiers. Facing the steel fighting machine, Colonel Nakamori was no different from the soldiers. He just had one thought: run quickly.

    The retreating Japanese soldiers retreated to the second blocking position in one breath, and finally stopped, breathing heavily.  The furious Colonel Nakamori counted his men and found that he had lost more than 600 troops in the night battle.

    The main force of the Chinese 1st Armored Division took the opportunity to firmly control the ferry, and the landing site was completely under the control of the Chinese ** team.  At eleven o'clock in the morning the next day, the Second Armored Division and Sun Liren's New First Army all crossed the river.

    Sun Liren commanded the troops to continue attacking Moulmein.  In the second Japanese blocking position, swept by the rolling torrent of steel from the armored forces, Japanese Colonel Nakamori no longer dared to confront the enemy head-on, and led his troops to compete with the Chinese armored forces.  In the end, the two legs could not outrun the machine. There were about 400 Japanese soldiers with broken backs behind them, and they were finally caught up by the Chinese tanks. They were all rolled over mercilessly under the tracks of the tanks and crushed into a pulp.

    In Moulmein, Lieutenant General Hongo Yoshio, commander of the 62nd Division, imposed martial law on the entire city, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.  The lieutenant general attempted to rely on the solid fortifications of Moulmein to fight to the death with the Chinese ** team.

    Because of the heavy losses, Colonel Nakamori and his troops who withdrew were placed as a reserve team and rested in the city on standby.  The 527th Wing and the 528th Wing respectively defended the main positions on all sides of Mawlamyine.

    Sun Liren's New First Army and Huang Wei's two armored divisions arrived in Moulmein. They did not attack immediately. They only conducted a tentative attack first to explore the weaknesses of the Japanese defense.  On the third day, the 3rd Armored Division arrived in Mawlamyine, and the Chinese Army gathered an infantry corps and an armored corps in Mawlamyine.

    At the frontline headquarters, Sun Liren and Huang Wei discussed the direction of attack.  Sun Liren pointed to the map, "Commander Huang, Mawlamyine is bounded by the Zami River to the east, the coast to the west, and the beach to the sea in the north. I suggest that after the armored army breaks through the Zami River, it will detour to the west city of Mawlamyine, where the terrain is open. It is convenient.  Tank troops engaged. What do you think?"

    Huang Wei thought quietly for a moment, "Commander Sun, I don't think so. Mawlamyine faces the sea to the west, north and south, but this is the dense urban area of ??Mawlamyine. It is difficult for tanks to take advantage when entering here. My opinion is  After the armored corps broke through the Zami River, it advanced along the banks of the Zami River and encircled it to the south."

    Sun Liren nodded, "Okay, I will also give you unified command of one of my armored battalions. After the armored army breaks through the Zami River, it will circle south along the outer city, cut off Jikanmei, and block the Japanese army's sea retreat."

    Huang Wei nodded and agreed.  Sun Liren's three infantry divisions broke through and attacked the city from the north and east.

    There is a small river beach 20 miles away from the bridge on the lower reaches of the east bank of the Zami River. Machinery roars and personnel are busy and nervous. This is the river crossing point for the Chinese Expeditionary Force Armored Corps.  The New First Army directly attacked the Zami River Bridge and crossed the river from the bridge.

    The Armored Corps Aonqiao troops were busy cutting down trees and collecting empty gasoline barrels, while 60 tanks were positioned on the river beach, bombarding the Japanese positions opposite with tank artillery.

      A mechanical infantry battalion first used an assault boat to cross the river, occupy the beachhead position, and control the landing site.  The infantry battalion that crossed the river in advance built a solid landing site 2 miles away from the river bank.

    The heroic infantry fought bloody battles with the Japanese while repairing fortifications and establishing positions.  After repelling many Japanese attacks, we finally occupied a stable position.
