I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

The news was reported to the headquarters, who were also shocked by the news. A secret base of the Windmill Country? Or was it the intervention of the British? Or was it the layout of the Eagle Sauce? Impossible. The headquarters overturned their own judgments one by one. They really couldn't believe that a group of natives suddenly built a strange city and even arranged a fortress defense system there.

The order was given to the joint command. The current mission was the Country of Ten Thousand Towers. The Chinese had already sent troops and they had to take over the place as quickly as possible, drive out the Corrupts, and take over the oil fields and rubber industry there. As for the mysterious fortress, don't worry about it. There would be plenty of time to deal with them in the future, and they could do whatever they wanted.

After receiving the order, Iijima Shojiro was very helpless. What a shame! According to his idea, he should have used a quarter of his troops to destroy the Holy Spear Regiment first. He lost a regiment and more than ten planes, but he just endured it. Just like the Chinese mocked him, he became a turtle after enduring it.

Peace has returned to Holy Spear City. There are reconnaissance points everywhere along the coast. Once the enemy is observed, they will quickly communicate. Once the air defense alarm sounds, it is enough time for everyone to get into the air-raid shelter.

On September 9, under the oppressive offensive of the Japanese army, the British abandoned Yangon and retreated all the way to the north. The Japanese army pursued them relentlessly, from Yangon to Pegu, from Pegu to Dongyu and Naypyi, and finally stopped when they were almost in Mandalay Province. The British army re-established the defense line, preparing to block the northward Japanese army in Mandalay and Magway.

At the same time, the vanguard of the expeditionary force arrived, and the 200th Division entered the blocking position of the British army. However, the British army did not seem to want to defend together with this group of beggar-like troops, and drove the 200th Division to Yangmiding further south.

On the Yangmiding front, the 200th Division urgently built positions. The soldiers were all somewhat indignant. They went abroad to fight, to help others, but were looked down upon and their troops were sent to the front. It was too infuriating.

"Commander, let's retreat! We can wait until these bastards are defeated before we attack again. They can't stop the Japanese anyway."

"Bullshit, you're retreating without firing a shot? Where can I put my face? There are so many people watching me from behind. If I retreat, I don't know how much criticism I will bear."

"Commander, what should we do? These foreign devils are so hateful."

"Prepare for battle. Fight here the same way you fought at home. Dig trenches, build anti-gun holes, conduct reconnaissance and surveillance, and protect the flanks. Tell my brothers, fight the first battle well, and I'll figure out the rest."

On Mount Bago, the soldiers of the First and Second Regiments were amused by the groups of Japanese soldiers riding bicycles at the foot of the mountain. At this time, they would definitely catch them off guard. However, the regiment commander had issued a strict order that no one was allowed to shoot, and the safety had to be turned off to prevent accidental discharge.

The Japanese troops were endless and advanced rapidly northward from the east and west sides of Mount Pegu. They did not think that there were troops on the mountain. As long as the Japanese were not stupid, they would not stay there waiting to be surrounded. They ran faster than rabbits.

"Lao Wang, how do you plan to fight? Does the captain have any instructions?"

"There are no instructions. The captain said that how to fight depends entirely on the two of us to decide. The captain only made a few small requests, such as helping the brother troops, gaining benefits for ourselves, controlling our own casualties, and killing as many Japanese as possible."

Lu Feihu had a toothache and was getting irritated due to the hot weather.

"Okay! I won't worry about it. The captain said that you should take the lead. Please inform me when you have decided how to fight. I will just focus on killing the Japanese."

At 9 a.m. on September 27, scouts from the th Division reported the situation. A regiment of Japanese troops was pressing forward. They were semi-mechanized, with the lowest level being mules, horses and bicycles. They had six tanks, eight mountain cannons and dozens of trucks. They were moving very fast and were expected to reach the battlefield in an hour.

The commander of the 200th Division urgently arranged the combat mission. A regiment could eat enough food if they were good at fighting, and then run away after they were full. The Japanese wanted to use themselves as cannon fodder, which was easy. How did they win? They must have won after suffering heavy casualties. Wouldn't it be enough to just create more wounded soldiers?

At 599 o'clock in the morning, the vanguard of the Japanese army arrived. A team of soldiers on bicycles appeared in the field of vision. They were obviously a reconnaissance team. The people who were defending in the front were the Liushu people of the th Regiment. They had suffered a great loss at the hands of the Japanese in the Battle of Kunlun Pass. Now they had a chance to avenge themselves, and they felt inexplicably impulsive.

After turning a corner, the Japanese soldiers suddenly came to a sudden stop. What was ahead? Trenches? Trenches in a row? Many people were looking at them, some with playful smiles.

"retreat"!

Tart tart tart tart tart tart!

The 200th Division had more than half of its firepower from the United States, and dozens of submachine guns swept through seventy or eighty Japanese devils, but there were no surprises.

The Japanese army stopped and none of the reconnaissance teams in front returned. They knew they had encountered an enemy blocking position. The tanks immediately dispersed and the artillery began to build positions. The reconnaissance teams continued to scout forward to first find out the opposite side's defense situation.

Half an hour later, the Japanese army began shelling. Eight mountain cannons and sixteen indirect-fire cannons opened fire at the same time. The mortars fired at high speed and the mountain cannons extended their fire. Six tanks covered the infantry charge. Flames were spewing out of the tank turrets and machine gun holes. They looked insolent, but they did not know that the eight anti-aircraft machine guns on the position had been deployed long ago, all with side-firing paths, waiting for the Japanese tanks to cross the range.

Seeing that the trenches in front were suppressed, the Japanese thought it was those corrupt scum of the country. The infantry following the tanks could not hold back and leaned their heads out to check the positions in front.

They didn't run away, did they? They ran away after defeating the reconnaissance team? This is in line with the behavior of the British. When they were close to the trench, the soldiers retreated behind the tanks. If they didn't run away, showing their heads would be courting death.

Liu Shuren personally operated the anti-aircraft machine gun and had to destroy the tank as soon as possible, otherwise the Japanese army would bomb the designated targets and these anti-aircraft machine guns would likely be useless. It would be disgusting to let the soldiers carry cluster grenades to bomb.

"beat"!

At Liu Shuren's command, a signal flare was launched into the air, eight anti-aircraft machine guns fired sideways at the same time, and the mortar at the back fired at the Japanese troops behind the tank at high speed.

Da da da da da da!

Eight bullet belts with tracers rushed towards the tank. The Japanese tank with thin skin and large fillings might be able to block the bullets of Type 92 and Maxim, but it was like a piece of tofu facing anti-aircraft machine guns, and the side armor was completely vulnerable.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The Japanese soldiers behind the tanks were first covered by artillery fire. In the plain area, it was impossible to build a reverse slope position. The artillery regiment of the 200th Division was scattered, and they had to run after firing ten rapid shots.

After three minutes of machine gun fire, all the tanks were defeated. Although there were infantry behind them, it was still enjoyable for the anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot at the infantry.
