The little devils' more than a thousand cavalry were in a mess. Although the little devils' commander had given the order, there was no process and the little devils could not react.
In other words, it would take some time for the Japs to retreat, but a large number of tanks from the mechanized infantry regiment came over quickly. At least dozens of tanks illuminated the area brightly.
Seeing that the Japs cavalry had entered the firing range of these tanks, everyone began to shoot. Many 30mm cannons fired in unison. Even the AK-47 assault rifles in the hands of many soldiers began to aim at the Japs cavalry and shoot.
Suffering such a violent blow, a large number of the little Japanese cavalry fell down, with screams, the screams of war horses, the sound of guns, and different sounds mixed together.
The local residents in the town also woke up one after another. Everyone knew that a war was going on outside the town, but they didn't know who would win. However, many local residents still hoped that the Chinese *** team would win. In the past few years in Myanmar, the little devils , there was a lot of burning, killing and looting.
The battle outside the town was basically as these people hoped.
"Da da da¡¡"
Amidst the intensive shooting, the Japs cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Finally, the Japs were ready to retreat. A large number of Japs cavalry began to retreat into the distance in a noisy manner.
Several Jaap officers, seeing their cavalry suffering heavy casualties under the attack of Chinese tanks, shouted anxiously and ordered the Japs to retreat.
A young Japanese major raised his command knife high and ordered his cavalry to retreat quickly. The firepower of the Chinese army was too fierce. If you run later, the casualties will be greater.
The little Japanese major was shouting on horseback. Suddenly, the shouting suddenly stopped. The little Japanese major saw several blood holes on his chest. It was obvious that he had been hit by several bullets.
Seeing this scene, the young Japanese Major looked horrified. He could no longer hold the command knife in his hand and fell to the ground with a clang. When his vision went dark, he fell off his horse.
Next to them, the retreating Little Japanese cavalry couldn't hold their feet. Several war horses trampled the Little Japanese Major who fell on the ground to pieces, leaving not a single corpse behind.
"Your Majesty, Major!"
Several little Japs nearby saw their Major being trampled into a pile of flesh, and they immediately shouted in grief.
These little devils had just finished shouting, and suddenly. Several more people were shot and fell off their horses. Even among the little devil's war horses, several were affected by the bullets. These war horses screamed and fell down one after another.
The little devils didn¡¯t notice that less than 200 meters away from them, two or three soldiers on an off-road vehicle were holding AK-47 assault rifles and were firing fiercely at the place.
Situations like this happen all the time on the battlefield. The soldiers' chariot group was getting closer and closer to the little devils. Although the little devils ran away with all their strength, they did not distance themselves at all.
"Comrades, increase your firepower and don't let the little Japanese cavalry who are coming to your door run away."
As the soldiers fired fiercely, the bodies of the little Japanese on the ground increased in large numbers. The little Japanese colonel who led the sneak attack saw that his cavalry regiment suffered heavy casualties. In less than ten minutes, at least more than 500 little Japanese died. The little devil is miserable!
Seeing the tongues of fire not far away, the little Japanese colonel was a little desperate. He thought to himself that he had stolen the chicken but lost the rice this time. Not only did he not succeed in the sneak attack, his own cavalry regiment might also get involved. If he had known that this was a Chinese mechanized force, he would definitely not have come to make a sneak attack.
This damn information! Errors in intelligence can literally kill people.
"Your Majesty Colonel! We are surrounded. Look, there are many lights in the distance."
Hearing this, the little devil commander looked into the distance and saw that only a few hundred meters away from him, a large number of tanks were driving towards him with their lights on. His retreat path was also cut off by this tank troop. .
These are the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment. The soldiers arrived in this area this morning. Although it is night now, the soldiers are still familiar with the terrain in this area. The 1st Battalion immediately outflanked them from a distance. Cut off the retreat route of the little devil cavalry.
The escape route was cut off, and the little devil commander looked pale.
In the distance, the soldiers of the first battalion had already surrounded them. The Japs had nowhere to escape. The tanks of the soldiers also opened fire one after another. The Japs cavalry regiment was attacked from two sides.
"Breakthrough! Breakout to the side!"
Seeing that the soldiers had not completely completed the encirclement, the little Japanese Osaka immediately ordered a breakout on the flanks. At this time, the flanks were the weakest and most likely to break out. Moreover, the flanks were surrounded by mountains and forests. If the little Japanese cavalry entered at night, In the mountains and forests, it is possible to successfully escape.
?After giving the order, the little devil commander personally took the lead and led a group of little devils in a panic towards the mountains and forests far to the left.
Many soldiers also noticed the little Japanese¡¯s unusual movements, especially when they saw many young Japanese officers riding war horses and trying hard to break out of the encirclement to the left. The soldiers knew the little Japanese¡¯s purpose.
Several 30mm cannons blocked the fire. Although the ak-47 assault rifle may not be able to reach these little devils due to distance factors, there is no problem at all with the 30mm cannons. The range of the 30mm cannons is better than The AK-47 assault rifle is much farther.
Several 30mm cannons sprayed flames, and high-explosive bombs hit the fleeing little Japs one after another. The little Japs Colonel who led the escape was very unlucky. He ran at the front again. The target was obvious, and he was suddenly hit by several high-explosive bombs. Bomb hit.
A series of explosions exploded on the little devil colonel. Suddenly, the little devil colonel on the war horse was blown into a cloud of blood mist. Even the war horse he was riding was also affected. He fell to the ground with a mournful cry and was also killed. .
Several little Japanese officers nearby were also affected. One lieutenant, two second lieutenants, and one lieutenant, a total of four people, three died and one was injured.
"Your Excellency, Captain!!!"
Although the little devils a little further away were not affected, they clearly saw this scene. These little devils suddenly screamed miserably. Their captain and chief of staff were killed under their noses. Blast to death.
The surviving young soldier, Major, found that he seemed to be the highest-ranking military officer in the area. After shouting piercingly, he soon discovered that the people next to him were being hit by 30mm cannons one after another. The young soldier, Major, did not dare to stay any longer. , slapped the war horse, and fled towards the dark woods in the distance.
The young Jaap Major shouted loudly as he ran, asking the other young Japs to break out of the encirclement and follow them. Now, the young Japs had no other choice but to brave the fierce firepower of the soldiers to break out.
After spending several minutes and running nearly a kilometer, the little devil finally rushed into the forest. At this time, the little devil discovered that there were at least two or three hundred people who were with him at the beginning of the breakout. It was possible to enter the forest at this time. There were less than twenty or thirty little devils.
Obviously, most of the little devil cavalry died on the way to escape. The firepower of the soldiers was too fierce, and the little devil needed to be very lucky to escape successfully.
The little Jaap Major looked at the few people next to him sadly, and then looked at the little Jaap Cavalry who was running this way in the distance. Seeing the Little Jaap Cavalry falling down on the way to escape, the Little Jaap Major thought in his heart. He said that this sneak attack was a complete failure. One of his cavalry regiments did not know whether there would be one or two hundred people left in the end.
However, no matter how many people are left in his cavalry regiment, there is no way that the Little Japanese Major is waiting here to count the last remaining people. The Little Japanese Major stopped for a while and fled with the remaining Little Japanese Cavalry.
It took less than an hour from the start of the battle to the final silence of gunfire. When the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they carefully counted all the corpses. There were more than 1,600 corpses of the little Japanese. As for the wounded of the little Japanese, There was no one, all were killed by the soldiers.
There are not many captured Japs, only more than a hundred. However, there are still hundreds of Japs' war horses alive. However, the soldiers are not very interested in these horses. Currently, the Chinese Army has no plans to expand the cavalry. .
Among the corpses of these little devil cavalry, there were actually one colonel, three lieutenants, and five majors. It can be seen that the senior officers of the cavalry regiment were basically killed, and there were very few fish that slipped through the net.
This little Japanese cavalry regiment was almost completely wiped out. The number of little Japanese who escaped from the fierce firepower of the soldiers was definitely not more than 200.
In this sneak attack, the Japanese army was completely defeated and the Chinese army won a great victory.
Tonight, the little devils launched sneak attacks on the Chinese ** troops in more than a dozen places outside Mandalay. The little devils originally wanted to take advantage of the darkness to launch a surprise attack and take advantage.
"However, none of the dozen sneak attacks by the Japs were successful. The worst thing was that the entire sneak attack force was wiped out. The best result was just an embarrassing retreat after losing nearly half of them.
Tonight alone, the Japs lost between 20,000 and 30,000 men. The dozen or so sneak attack troops of the Japs were basically all regiment-sized troops. The Japs suffered a huge loss.

Peiping, inside the Dahongmen.
Zhang Yunfei¡¯s office was brightly lit. At this time, several officials from the Ministry of National Defense were reporting to Zhang Yunfei on the situation in Myanmar overnight.
After listening to the report, Zhang Yunfei laughed and said without concealing his inner joy: "I didn't expect the Burmese Japanese army to come up with such a stupid trick."
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Vice Minister of National Defense, also smiled and said:Chief! The Japanese army originally wanted to take advantage of the darkness and the fact that our planes could not take off, and then catch us off guard. Unexpectedly, the troops closest to us were either tank regiments, mechanized infantry regiments or cavalry regiments. There were very few infantry regiments, so the Japanese army would not suffer. Strange. "
