- Obviously, there are many machine guns shooting in this direction from a distance.
"Baga! Retreat quickly!!!"
Seeing the people around him being beaten to death, the little Japanese colonel immediately shouted in horror, turned his horse's head, and hurriedly prepared to retreat far away, out of the effective range of the squadron's machine guns.
Just after running a few dozen meters, the little Japanese colonel suddenly felt a huge pain in his back. Several machine gun bullets hit the little Japanese colonel. Soon, the little Japanese colonel fell down.
In the end, of the entire Japanese cavalry regiment, only more than a hundred people managed to escape. The remaining Japanese officer with the highest military rank was only a young Japanese major. The young Japanese major looked at the more than a hundred remnants and was disheartened. Cold and in a daze.
*******
On a main road leading to Lashio, a large group of Japs were marching. This was also one of the Japanese troops reinforcing Lashio.
Twenty to thirty large trucks, fully loaded with imps, were heading north along the highway. Behind the convoy, there were also a large group of imps following. The number of imps was at least one regiment.
Not far ahead of the team of little devils, only a few kilometers away, a large number of soldiers were already waiting seriously. The soldiers were two infantry regiments and built a large number of fortifications to cut off the road.
"Captain! The little devil's reinforcements are coming!"
"Ready to fight!!!"
A large number of soldiers were ready to fight. At this time, another soldier trotted over and said loudly: "Captain! Many little devils who escaped from Lashio City are fleeing along this road."
It seems. The little devils are preparing to abandon the city and flee south, and their position may be attacked from both sides, and a fierce battle should follow.
As several large armies of the Chinese ** Corps approach Lashio and almost encircle Lashio, the Supreme Japanese Army Command in Southeast Asia has issued an order, ordering the Japanese army to abandon Lashio and break out south, and withdraw to the southern city of Mandalay.
The two divisions that went north for reinforcements became the support for the Japanese troops in Lashio to break through and retreat south. At this time, the Japanese troops in Lashio were alternately covering the city and retreating south in batches.
The 28th Group Army will bear the brunt, and the 28th Group Army will defend the area south of Lashio City. The 28th Group Army has more than 50,000 people. It needs to control the defense line of more than ten kilometers in the south of Lashio City. Facing the tens of thousands of Japs withdrawing from Lashio City, it also has to block the two Japanese field divisions heading north for reinforcements.
The 28th Group Army has a very heavy task. Although this is one of the main roads, the deployment of two infantry regiments is already the limit of the 28th Group.
"Commander! There are many Japanese troops, at least one field infantry regiment."
In one breath, a regiment came. It seems that there are more Japanese troops behind. This regiment must have been only one of its vanguard units.
Soon, the Japanese army came up. The two infantry regiments defending this area were the first regiment and the second regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division of the 28th Group Army. This area was one of the defense areas of the 3rd Infantry Division.
Japanese reinforcements came up in large numbers. The two regiments reported the situation to their division headquarters and ordered the soldiers to block the Japanese army.
Two infantry regiments, the first infantry regiment defended several hills on the left side of the road. The Second Infantry Regiment defended on the hilltop on the right. The two infantry regiments formed an angle with each other, working together and covering each other.
Soon, the battle started.
??Obviously, the order received by this Japanese army was to move north quickly, as soon as the battle began. The Japs launched a large-scale attack, and the two sides fought fiercely for almost an hour. The Japs slowly retreated after thousands of casualties.
but. The little devils did not give up. It seemed that the little devils were preparing to organize a larger-scale attack.
"Commander! Look, there are a lot of tanks ready to come up."
After the failure of the Little Devils' first attack, the Little Devils' follow-up reinforcements also caught up. There were also a lot of Little Devils who came up behind, and they were also equipped with more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles. Obviously, next, the Little Devils Prepare to use the leadership of these chariots to launch an attack on the soldiers.
Seeing the Japs' tanks preparing to come up, the First Regiment Commander was a little worried. Just now the soldiers had consumed a lot of ammunition, and now the soldiers were still seizing the time to press bullets into their magazines. In addition, the First Regiment Commander used to be a The old man, who participated in the Wuhan Battle, has a shadow on the Japanese tanks.
Back then, in the Battle of Wuhan, when faced with the Japs¡¯ tanks, they usually had to pay a large number of casualties, then organize death squads and use gun bags to defeat a Japs¡¯ tank with great difficulty.
This time, I don¡¯t know if my rocket launcher can destroy these tanks. The 28th Group Army is also fighting against the Japs for the first time after being reorganized and re-equipped. The commander of the first regiment is not sure, although he knows that the rocket launcher can destroy these tanks.Harmful, but still a little worried.
However, there is no need to use a rocket launcher this time.
The 28th Army Headquarters knew that the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division were blocking a large number of Japanese troops, and decisively ordered the tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division to attack. The tank regiment and the mechanical infantry regiment went south to defeat the reinforcements from the north. .
At this time, a large number of Japs, led by more than a dozen Japs chariots, launched a large-scale attack again.
Looking at the large number of Japs in the distance, more than their own infantry regiments, the two regiment leaders were secretly worried that another fierce battle would follow.
"Captain! Our reinforcements will be here soon."
A communications soldier ran over happily, holding a piece of telegram and shouted loudly.
"Okay! The division commander is making a big move this time, sending all the tank regiments and mechanical infantry regiments up."
Soldiers know that tank regiments and mechanical infantry regiments are the division commander's treasured possessions. It's no wonder that the 28th Group Army used to be a military force. When did it ever have so many tanks and armored vehicles? One infantry division is equipped with one tank regiment and one A mechanical infantry regiment was something that was unthinkable before.
This time, the Third Infantry Division defended this area. The commander of the Third Division sent all six of his infantry regiments up to designated positions to stop the Japs. However, the tank regiments and mechanized infantry regiments with the strongest combat effectiveness were placed there. Reserve position.
The defense area of ??the Third Infantry Division is less than ten kilometers away from the city of Lashio. The terrain in this area is relatively flat, with only a few hills. Most of the areas are either gentle slopes or plains, which is very suitable for the deployment of mechanized troops.
Not long after, the Japs¡¯ charge had just begun, and the Japs had just entered the shooting 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 can walk on flat ground in this area.
A large number of chariots were not along the road, but all over the mountains and plains. They came in such a mighty manner, majestic and very spectacular.
"Haha! Our tank troops are coming."
Many commanders laughed happily when they saw so many tanks approaching. Just now, everyone saw the large-scale attack by the Japs, and everyone was still worried. But now it is better, and everyone is relieved.
The little devils who charged were still very confident, thinking that with the guidance of the chariots, they would definitely be able to break through the position of the Chinese army on the opposite side. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when so many chariots suddenly appeared.
"Baga! The armored group of the Chinese ** team!"
Seeing such a pair of tanks, many young Japanese officers screamed in horror. The young Japanese had already learned how powerful the Chinese tanks were. This time, such a tank suddenly appeared. The young Japanese were not frightened. It would be strange to die.
The little Japanese infantry who were charging behind their own tanks 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. Some of the little Japanese infantry were even ready to give up the charge. , ready to retreat.
The chariot troops of the Third Infantry Division came very quickly. In just a few minutes, they exchanged fire with the charging troops of the Little Japs. Many tanks, including armored vehicles, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and off-road vehicles, began to fire at the Little Japs' troops. The 30mm cannons on the aircraft also opened fire.
The dozen tanks of the Little Japanese were the first to bear the brunt, and were quickly destroyed by the Type 39 tanks. Even the Infantry of the Little Japanese suffered heavy casualties.
A large number of soldiers from the 1st Infantry Regiment and 2nd Infantry Regiment, led by their regimental commanders, rushed down from their positions, followed these tanks, and launched a countercharge against the Japs.
"Suddenly, the Little Japs were defeated and suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers pursued the Little Japs for three or four kilometers and wiped out thousands of enemies. Finally, in order to hold on to their positions, the soldiers returned to their positions with unsatisfied intentions.
As soon as the soldiers returned to their positions, a large number of Japs who had fled from Lashio also arrived here. This place is less than 10 kilometers away from the city of Lashio. It didn¡¯t take long for the Japs to escape here.
Soon, the soldiers exchanged fire with these fleeing Japs. These fleeing Japs had low combat effectiveness and almost no will to fight. They collapsed at the first contact. This group of at least three to four thousand Japs were killed by the soldiers, and more than a thousand of them were killed. Except, the rest were all captured.
The 1st, 2nd, 13th, and 15th troops of the Chinese ** Team, a total of four large armies, invaded the city before noon and started street fighting with the little devils.
However, the Japs had received the order to abandon Lashio. They fought and retreated. The soldiers took control of the entire Lashio in the afternoon. The remaining 50,000 to 60,000 Japs who retreated from Lashio were also defeated. Retreat south.
The 28th Army tightened its pockets in the south. Even if these 50,000 to 60,000 little Japanese were supported by two divisions, they could not break through the 28th Army's defense line.
In the evening, the other major group armies came over one after another. Facing the well-equipped and large number of Chinese troops, these 50,000 to 60,000 little Japs did not resist for long. After more than 20,000 people were annihilated, the remaining 30,000 or so people started to do their best. captured.
The two Japanese divisions that went north to provide reinforcements were also annihilated. Seeing that their Lashio garrison was almost completely destroyed, the little Japanese stopped going north to provide reinforcements and support, and retreated south in embarrassment.
