Chapter 183 How about attacking Yangon directly? (Fourth update!) "Li Wula can do it now. He actually thought of attacking first. Yes, yes, he has made progress. I thought he would only fight stupidly." As soon as he got off the plane, he saw Kaname running to hand over a few telegrams. come over. Cun Yunsheng handed over Jingdong to him just to exercise his ideas. Looking pretty good now! It is commendable to know that he took the lead in attacking the Thai army when he was unable to ask for instructions. After all, the Thai army has assembled its main force at the border, and it is obvious that it wants to take action against them. If you don’t take action at this time and wait to be beaten passively, wouldn’t you be a fool? If Li Liansheng really didn't react at all, he might really be angry. Now! For the sake of shooting down four fighter planes, I naturally chose to forgive him.
“Ask the air force to dispatch and ensure that there are no Thai fighter planes over Jingdong.” Cun Yunsheng ordered immediately after reading the telegram. "yes." “Tell Li Liansheng to let me fight with confidence, and don’t be afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the back.” Cun Yunsheng added again. "yes." On the other side, Li Liansheng, who received the telegram, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after reading it, and said confidently. “Commander, order us to launch an attack immediately and do not give the Thai army a chance to counterattack.” “Notify the artillery company of the battalion and open fire immediately. Half an hour later, the tank battalion took the lead, and the rest of the troops attacked.” "yes." When recruiting veterans some time ago, Cun Yunsheng specifically asked the artillery battalion to transfer 24 105mm howitzers to Jingdong. The purpose is to enhance the firepower in the Jingdong area, and it comes in handy now. Originally, Cun Yunsheng was waiting to expand Li Wula's infantry battalion into a regiment when the Sichuan Army Corps was reorganized into a task force. According to the standard regiments of the US military, there must be a regiment belonging to a howitzer battalion, so in order to speed up the reorganization, people had to transport the 105mm howitzers in advance. At this time, in a hidden position, hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers were neatly arranged. Farther away, there were 24 105mm howitzers. They were responsible for holding down the formation. In fact, there is also a 120mm heavy mortar, but it is temporarily classified as a mortar column and is not in the same position as the howitzer. “Fire!” With an order, hundreds of artillery pieces opened fire together, and the overwhelming shells hit the seemingly indestructible defensive position of the Thai army on the opposite side. Suddenly, the Thai army was plunged into a sea of fire, and smoke enveloped the entire position. The Thai army hiding in the trenches was the 7th Infantry Division. Originally, they were ordered to wait for supplies to be in place before launching an attack. Even in order to ensure the efficiency of the attack, fighter planes were dispatched for reconnaissance.
As a result, the fighter plane was shot down before the reconnaissance was completed. The soldiers of the 7th Division of the Thai Army watched helplessly as their fighter plane was shot down and they did not react. As a result, the Sichuan Army Corps on the opposite side actually came over. That’s right! Their artillery shells hit their position immediately. On the battlefield, they were bragging just now about how many Chinese people they were going to kill when the war actually started. result! In an instant, their positions were directly destroyed, and those who were bragging about it disappeared without a trace. “Buddha, so many artillery pieces? It’s too scary.” “How many artillery pieces are these!” “There are almost hundreds of doors, right?” “O Bodhisattva, protect me.” The Thai troops on the position were completely panicked. They did not expect that the artillery of the Sichuan Army Corps on the opposite side had already targeted them. Just like that, many positions were destroyed! Heavy casualties! Many Thai soldiers were frightened and began to run away. The most confused person was the commander of the 7th Division. He never expected that the enemy would take the initiative to attack. You must know that not long ago, he had a phone call with the headquarters, saying that after the supplies were in place, he would immediately launch an attack, recapture Jingdong, and kill all the expeditionary forces on the opposite side. Who knows how long it has been? The fighter plane sent for reconnaissance was shot down at first, and not a single fighter plane came back. Then immediately after, artillery shells flying in the sky fell on the position! The 7th Division, which was not yet ready, was instantly stunned. “Bastards, bastards, **** expeditionary force.” The commander of the 7th Division kept cursing in all the vicious words he could think of. He knew that since the other party used so many artillery pieces, they must be trying to destroy them all. So he has only one way now, and that is to fight to the death. It is still possible to survive if you fight to the death, but if you run away, your life will be over. It's just that the enemy's firepower is too strong. Especially the position shrouded in gunpowder smoke, which made him shiver, and he simply did not have the courage to fight to the end.
"Order, we must hold the position and never lose it. In addition, notify the Ninth Division and ask them to reinforce immediately." Seeing the dense artillery shells hitting the position, the commander of the Seventh Division did not care so much and immediately asked people to Go and notify the Ninth Division to come for reinforcements. In order to completely capture Jingdong this time, the Thai army mobilized two infantry divisions with more than 20,000 troops. They are all elite troops with high numbers! The goal is naturally to recapture Jingdong in one fell swoop. Who knew that the artillery fire of the Sichuan Army was extremely powerful. Caught off guard, the Thai army suffered heavy losses. Especially, when the Sichuan Army's fighter planes arrived at the battlefield, they also began to straf the Thai troops on the ground. You must know that when a machine gun bullet hits the position, it can blow up the artillery, hit a person, and directly break into several pieces. Such a **** and terrifying scene is something that Thai soldiers who have not fought much can bear. They usually bully the guerrillas and the like, but have never fought against the regular army. So everyone thinks that he is an elite. Now that I face the real elite, I realize that I am a scumbag. "If these people in the aviation team don't defend the sky well, why can they take credit from us?" an M3 tank commander said gloomily as he looked at the fighter planes flying overhead. “Commander, stop complaining, we found a bunker ahead.” The driver’s resentful voice brought the commander back to his senses. “Kill them.” The commander said loudly. "A group of troops that are worse than the puppet army, what means of resistance can they have, just destroy them directly." “Yes, commander.” Boom! A cannonball destroys the bunker in front of you! "rush!" Continuous explosions vented the anger of the Sichuan Army! The Thai army’s positions received unprecedented bombing! Heavy artillery shells, mortar shells, tank shells! From time to time there are also machine guns firing! A dozen Thai soldiers died almost every second. The Thai artillery also wanted to counterattack, but as soon as they fired, they were strafed by P38 fighter jets. The shells were directly exploded, and the artillery was blown into scrap metal. The Thai soldiers on the position could only watch their position being ravaged by the enemy! Finally, when the tanks of the Sichuan Army's chariot battalion rushed into the position, the Thai soldiers completely collapsed. Many recruits were running around with their heads in their hands, as if they could avoid the terrible shell attack.
Some veterans screamed at the top of their lungs, but they still could not stop the new recruits from running around, so the casualties increased sharply. The defense line collapsed completely! "Attack!" After Li Liansheng issued the general attack order, the infantrymen who had been waiting impatiently began to rush towards the Thai army position. “Come on, fight with me.” “Forward, forward!” “Boom, boom, boom!” The soldiers of the Sichuan Legion roared angrily! In front of them are tanks carrying out targeted clearing from time to time! Bunkers were destroyed everywhere! Zhao He drove the M4 tank and rolled over the enemy's position without hesitation. The whole earth was shaking, and the Thai army's defense line was like tofu dregs, unable to stop the Sichuan Army's fierce attack. At this moment, the Thai soldiers could only howl under the tracks of the tanks, and countless soldiers were shot to death by bullets. The so-called resistance became pale and powerless in front of the tanks. Under such a violent attack, the Thai army's positions were defeated one after another. The Siamese soldiers looked at the officers, and the officers looked at the soldiers. Finally, everyone looked at each other and started running away. Of course, during this period, there were also those who were not afraid of death and wanted to die with the tanks holding explosive packets, but they were beaten into pieces by machine guns. In just fifteen minutes, the first line of defense built by the Thai army was breached. And the second line of defense is also in danger. Because the soldiers who had withdrawn from the first line of defense were spreading fear, the morale of the Thai soldiers in the second line plummeted. “Sir, sir, the expeditionary force has captured the second line of defense, and we cannot hold our position.” At the headquarters of the 7th Thai Infantry Division, an infantry commander who had withdrawn from the front line wailed feebly. “Where is the Ninth Division?” “There are still two hours to arrive.” “Withdraw.” Hearing that there were still two hours left, the commander of the 7th Division sighed, two hours. His troops can't hold on at all, so how can they fight! We can only withdraw first. This time the counterattack came to nothing. After defeating the 7th Thai Division on the front, the battle report was sent to Li Liansheng. Li Liansheng showed no fluctuation at all! After experiencing what happened last time, he knew that the Thai army's combat effectiveness was not as strong as imagined. “Report the battle situation here to the regiment, and also order the troops to continue southward and capture Mengban.” Li Liansheng decided to pursue the victory and expand the strategic depth again in one go. Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable to be pushed back by the Thai army at home every time.
"yes." Cun Yunsheng, who received the telegram, couldn't help but nodded. He was not surprised at all that the Thai army was defeated. After all, the troops commanded by Li Liansheng included almost a regiment. The combat effectiveness is stronger than that of a Japanese regiment! It is really not that difficult to defeat a Thai division. It would be damned if you can't win this fight. "Let him stop advancing after taking Mengban, and wait until the reorganization is completed before considering heading south." Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and decided to complete the reorganization first. The first thing is to equip a large number of artillery. Otherwise, if the Thai army really concentrates all its elites, Li Liansheng's side will still suffer a lot. So the next task is to reorganize, according to his plan, there are fifteen infantry battalions. The area Li Liansheng is responsible for requires at least four to five infantry battalions to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, the advancement speed is too fast and it will be troublesome for the receiving troops in the rear to be unable to keep up. “The Thai army is so weak, why did the Japanese army take a fancy to them?” Meng Fangli asked in confusion. "Because the Thai army is still very strong on paper. It has an air force, a navy, an army and hundreds of thousands of troops. The Japanese army naturally thinks that they are not bad. In fact, they are not as good as those puppet troops." Cun Yunsheng said with a look on his face. disdain. "By the way, are you dead? How is the recent development? Damn, I just keep asking for weapons, but there is no result at all." Hearing Cun Yunsheng mention Long Wenwen, Meng Fanxiao said with a smile. “The development is quite good. It is said that there are 20,000 people.” “I am much more majestic than you, and my territory is very large.” "So many people? But it's not surprising. That guy's mouth is better than mine. It's not surprising that there are more than 20,000 people. Give him a mission to find a way to capture Mandalay, or go south to Tonggu and capture it. The Japanese army should go crazy," Cun Yunsheng said. “You didn’t mean that the British army wouldn’t let us go south?” Meng Fanxiao didn’t react and asked doubtfully. "The British army won't let us go south, but those who captured it were indigenous guerrillas. What does that have to do with us?" Cun Yunsheng said with a sly smile. Hearing this, Meng Fanglia couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. Sure enough, every move made by one's team is not insignificant. "Yes, I will send a telegram to Long Wenwen and ask them to find a way to attack Tonggu." Meng Fanglia responded immediately. Long Wenwen received the telegram and was a little excited looking at the telegram in his hand. During this period, we were busy recruiting and training soldiers, but we never fought a decent battle at all. It’s different now! With the command from the regiment, we can naturally fight openly. “Tonggu!” Long Wenwen thought for a while and found that there seemed to be only one large group of Japanese troops there.
He has more than 20,000 people in his hands, including two regiments with fine equipment, three regiments with Japanese equipment, and one regiment with British weapons. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a card of all nations, but this firepower is completely enough to attack a large group of cities. What's more, he still has many natives from ancient times. With them leading the way, they can completely avoid the search by Japanese patrols. Thinking of this, Long Wenwen decided to send troops to fight with the ancients immediately! He also knew the importance of Tonggu. As long as he occupied it, he would cut off the connection between the Japanese army and Mandalay. As for the other railway, he had already sent people to dig it. The Japanese army wants to repair it, but they may not be able to repair it for a while. In other words, as long as Tonggu is captured, it means that Mandalay is not far away. The only thing that needs to be considered is whether the Japanese army in Yangon will send troops. "If we send troops, how about giving him a chance to attack the east and west?" Long Wenwen's mind is indeed very active, especially for this kind of surprise battle, which is very suitable. More importantly, he has more than 20,000 men in his hands, who can divide his troops. Ten thousand people attacked Tonggu, creating the illusion that the guerrillas had gathered a heavy force. The other part went around to Yangon through small roads, and with good luck, Yangon was captured in a surprise attack. Then things will get really serious! Without Rangoon, the Japanese Fifteenth Army would be a joke. Just do it if you think of it! Long Wenwen found Sun Yunfei and proposed his own plan to divide his troops. “Isn’t this too risky?” Sun Yunfei asked hesitantly. “Wealth is obtained through danger. If you want to become famous, you have to be unexpected. Even you didn’t expect that I would attack Yangon, let alone the little devil.” Long Wenwen said proudly. Fourth update!
