- In the Battle of Lashio, the Chinese Army won a great victory. Not only did they capture the important town of Lashio in northern Myanmar, they also annihilated nearly 200,000 enemies and captured nearly 40,000 imps.
Of these nearly 40,000 little devils, there is no doubt that, except for the little devil officers among them, the rest of the ordinary little devils will serve as free labor, and some of them will be escorted back to China to contribute to China's great construction.
The other part of the little devils will be used to repair Lashio Airport, as well as some bombed roads and bridges.
After the Chinese ** troops occupy Lashio, Lashio will be used as a forward base. A large amount of materials will be transported to Lashio through the Burma Highway for storage. At the same time, after the Lashio Airport is repaired, a large number of fighter planes will also be stationed at Lashio Airport, providing Forward troops provide air support.
After several large armies rested at Lashio Airport for three days, they began to head south again. This time the goal was Mandalay.
This time, the combat plan formulated by the Ministry of National Defense is to advance from north to south along the Burma Highway, passing through Lashio, Mandalay, and all the way to Yangon in southern Myanmar.
Another force, with the cooperation of the navy, will land from the southern port of Mawlamyine, attack the Tonggu and Yangon areas, and attack the Japanese from the north and south with the 1st, 2nd, 13th, 15th, and 28th Group Armies.
On the second day after these major armies occupied Lashio, the other three armies of the Chinese Army, the 3rd Army, the 4th Army, and the 23rd Army crossed the Sino-Vietnamese border and marched into Vietnam. In Vietnam, there were also many little devil.
The 1st, 2nd, 13th, 15th and 28th Group Armies, after three days of rest in Lashio. The troops began to divide into several groups and advance southward along several major highways.
******
Late October, Mawlamyine.
Today is a crisp autumn day, and the Japanese troops at the Moulmein port are lazily basking in the sun. Although fighting is frequent in northern Myanmar and the Chinese Army is advancing vigorously, the Japanese troops in Moulmein, southern Myanmar, do not have any tense atmosphere of a war.
Since these little devils occupied Myanmar two or three years ago. It has been a long time since we experienced a war. This area was still under the control of the Japanese army. At most, there were small-scale riots by some local armed forces. However, the local armed forces with backward equipment and small numbers were quickly suppressed by the Japanese army. .
There has been no war for a long time. Although they are stationed at an important seaport in Myanmar, these little devils do not feel any nervousness during the war. It looked loose and loose, and many people who didn't have little devils went to the city to drink wine. Some even went to find local flower girls.
On the sea less than thirty nautical miles away from Mawlamyine, a huge fleet has been sailing. This is the Chinese fleet. The entire fleet has two aircraft carriers, three battleships, five heavy cruisers, in addition to light cruisers, destroyers, Transport ship. Landing ships, etc., there are more than thirty ships of various sizes.
Of these two aircraft carriers, one is the "Datong" aircraft carrier and the other is the "Taiyuan" aircraft carrier. Taiyuan is also one of the places where Zhang Yunfei started his career. The second aircraft carrier was named "Taiyuan".
The "Taiyuan" aircraft carrier was transformed and upgraded from Japan's "Haiying" aircraft carrier. It is a small aircraft carrier. It can accommodate 36 Mustang carrier-based aircraft and two armed helicopters. In addition, it is also equipped with 4 "Stinger" missile launchers.
The three battleships also belonged to the Chinese Navy after Japan surrendered. The largest battleship displaced more than 50,000 tons. It is larger than an ordinary aircraft carrier, and the main gun caliber reaches 460 mm.
After the transformation and upgrade, these three battleships were also equipped with advanced radars and "Stinger" II missiles. Each battleship was also equipped with an armed helicopter.
The Chinese navy came from afar. This time, the purpose was to cooperate with the 6th Army's landing in Moulmein. After the surrender of Japan, several large armies that expedition to Japan returned to China one after another. Currently, the new designation of the troops stationed in Japan is "China "Japanese Defense Force", the commander is a Chinese general, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops are stationed in several major military bases in Japan.
Chu Tianming, commander of the 6th Group Army, was standing on the deck of a large transport landing ship. This landing ship with a displacement of 5,000 to 6,000 tons was designed and produced by China's Tianjin Shipyard. The Chinese Navy has equipped 6 of them. Such a landing ship.
Each landing ship not only carries an entire infantry regiment of soldiers and equipment, but also several tanks and armored vehicles.
Standing on the deck, Chu Tianming felt a little excited. He did not expect that after returning from Japan, the troops did not rest for long before heading to the front line in Myanmar again.
This time, the landing operation was still carried out with the cooperation of the Chinese Navy. However, with the cooperation of the Chinese Navy, Chu Tianming was not worried at all. Instead, he was a little looking forward to and excited about the upcoming battle.
The 6th Group Army will land in Mawlamyine in batches. The number of soldiers landing in the first batch will reach tens of thousands. Not only will they takeThere are 66 large landing ships and several large transport ships.
Comrade Liu Dazhu, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, was in the command room of the "Datong" aircraft carrier at this time. He held up a telescope and looked at the vast sea around him. Liu Dazhu said: "I order everyone to prepare for battle. First, destroy the Japanese troops in Moulmein Port. fort."
This time, according to the battle plan, the giant guns on the three battleships will be used to destroy the little Japanese's shore defense guns from a long distance.
The three battleships have main guns with calibers of either 406 mm or 460 mm, which can completely destroy the coastal defense guns deployed by the little devils.
This time, the Chinese Air Force attacked Mawlamyine occupied by the Japanese army. Before sending troops, the Chinese Air Force had conducted several reconnaissances. At the Mawlamyine seaport, the Japanese army not only deployed a large number of troops, but also built ten Several large forts.
Through these several investigations, it was found that the forts built by the Japanese army were all large forts, and the cannons deployed had a minimum caliber of 155 mm, and even 203 mm and 300 mm calibers.
Especially the two 300mm-caliber coastal defense guns, which are extremely huge. Each one weighs hundreds of tons, and the long barrel points directly into the sea in the distance.
¡°Obviously, in order to defend this port, the Japanese army spent a lot of money. The Japanese army in Southeast Asia deployed its only two 300 mm caliber coastal defense guns in Moulmein.
The Japanese army in Moulmein amounted to an entire division, with more than 20,000 people. The Japs deployed heavy troops. There were also three to four thousand guards stationed at the Moulmein seaport.
As time goes by, the Chinese navy is only about ten kilometers away from the seaport. The little devils stationed at the Moulmein port are still unaware that a huge fleet is approaching them.
On the "Datong" aircraft carrier, two armed helicopters have taken off. The mission of these two armed helicopters is to observe the impact point of the artillery shells from a long distance and correct the bombardment parameters for the three battleships.
Three battleships, their huge main guns have been aimed at the port of Moulmein more than ten kilometers away. The soldiers are ready and are only waiting for an order to fire.
The two armed helicopters in the sky once again measured the orientation and distance of the Little Japanese fort, and sent the data back to the battleship performing the bombardment mission.
After the soldiers calibrated the firing parameters again, with an order, the main guns of the three battleships roared. The shelling of the main guns with a diameter of more than 400 mm was very spectacular.
Not only was the sound of the gun deafening, but the entire battleship was pushed several meters by the huge recoil force. The smoke and flames generated by the gun barrel were not comparable to ordinary cannons.
A dozen huge cannonballs flew away from the thick barrel and flew towards the target in the distance, making a sharp and astonishing whistling sound during the flight.
It was the first time for many soldiers to see such a huge cannon fired. Everyone couldn't help but get excited when they saw such a spectacular firing scene. The cannon is really extraordinary!
Even Liu Dazhu was slightly moved when he saw the battleships in the distance firing their cannons. The battleships' cannons were really powerful, and the scene of the cannon firing was amazing!
far away.
On the pier, the little devils stationed in the harbor also clearly heard the roar of cannon fire. Although it was more than ten kilometers away, the sound of a huge cannon with a caliber of more than 400 mm was still too loud, and the sound spread on the sea, so it was nothing. With things blocked, the little devils could clearly hear the sound of the artillery fire.
In the sky, the flying artillery shells produced a sharp whistling sound, and the little devils also heard it. However, the little devils barely had time to react, and a huge explosion sounded right at the position of their own fort.
The flying speed of the cannonball is faster than the sound, but the sound is in a straight line, while the cannonball flies in a curve. Therefore, as soon as the little devils heard the sound of the cannon, the cannonball also fell down.
Although it was the first round of firing, due to helicopters correcting the bombardment parameters in the sky, nearly half of the shells in this bombardment directly hit the target. The shells that did not hit the target were not far from the target.
A huge fort that the little devils had worked so hard to build was hit by a 460 mm caliber artillery shell. With a loud "bang", the fort collapsed, and the 300 mm caliber cannon on the fort was also blown up.
The huge and bulky coastal defense gun was almost a little deformed, and the long barrel was tilted to one side. Obviously, this cannon was scrapped.
Not far away, another huge fort was in worse condition. It was directly hit by two or three artillery shells. The minimum caliber of these artillery shells was 406 mm.
After several astonishing explosions of "Boom, Boom, Boom", this huge coastal defense gun emplacement, which was also equipped with a 300-caliber coastal defense gun, suddenly collapsed. The thick cement base was blown down, and this huge coastal defense tower collapsed. It was almost disintegrated by the bombing, and it was even worse.Unfortunately, some artillery shells stored on the fort also exploded.
