Chapter 145: The Second Burmese Army Enters the Scene

The encirclement of the Second and Third Regiments was slowly advancing forward. The Burmese Army's flank defenders had to grit their teeth and hold on in order to protect the retreat of the front troops.

However, the Burmese defenders did not build trenches, as they never thought that the other side would actually attack.

It was because Jue Wen was cautious and prudent that he specially arranged garrisons to guard the two wings.

However, the defenders did not dig trenches as instructed, and when they discovered the soldiers from the 2nd and 3rd Regiments, they were already right in front of them.

After Jue Wen learned that both wings were attacked, he looked at the thousands of people on the front line who had not yet successfully retreated. His face became extremely gloomy and he pondered for a long time.

He finally decided to send the main force in the rear, the Burmese Second Army, to fight.

This most elite main force of Myanmar has more than 20,000 troops and is equipped with mechanized equipment such as tanks and trucks.

Jue Wen's original plan was to break through the front line of defense and then send the Second Army into battle.

But now, he had to mobilize this team in advance.

Unable to afford to abandon an entire brigade of soldiers, he had no choice but to go to support and ensure the safe withdrawal of the large number of soldiers on the front line.

At this moment, he hoped that the Dan Lao armed forces could launch artillery attacks as soon as possible and turn the front line into a sea of fire.

Only in this way can he justifiably close his defense line.

After receiving the order, the commander of the Second Army, Du Wen, immediately began to reorganize the army.

He was somewhat disdainful of Jue Wen, thinking that his approach was prudent at best, but incompetent at worst.

Kyaw Win’s order was to cover the retreat of the 132nd Brigade, but how to do so was left to Du Win.

Du Win quickly integrated his forces and quickly sent two brigades to support the two flanks.

Their mission was very clear: to hold back the enemy at all costs and never let the two wings be breached.

The main force led by him will launch a strong attack directly from the front and try to break through the defense line of the Dan Lao armed forces.

As long as they successfully break through, the problems on both wings and covering the retreat will be easily solved.

He was determined to make Ne Win understand that he was the best commander and that he should be in direct command of the battle instead of following Kyaw Win's orders.

The 25 MK.E tanks in the legion bravely rushed forward to act as pioneers, followed closely by the infantry troops. Under the cover of the tanks, they worked closely together and launched a charge together.

Not long after, the commander of a regiment keenly noticed the changes in the battlefield situation and quickly reported the situation.

The regiment commander was not unfamiliar with the tanks that appeared before him. These were old guys left behind by the British and were light tanks.

In close combat, even heavy machine guns can easily destroy it.

However, if we try to close the distance with the enemy, we may suffer heavy casualties.

After all, equipment like tanks, no matter how backward they are, should not be underestimated. They are not weapons that ordinary infantry can deal with.

The Second Army really lived up to the reputation of Myanmar's most elite force. Putting aside other aspects, they did an excellent job in terms of infantry-tank coordinated operations alone.

Under the strong cover of more than 20 tanks, the infantry cleverly hid in the rear, followed closely and advanced steadily forward.

When the soldiers of the 132nd Brigade saw a large number of reinforcements coming, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the soldiers in the rear hurriedly got up and retreated from the battlefield.

But some soldiers on the front lines could not escape easily.

They didn't dare to stand up rashly and could only stare at the tanks not far away with anticipation, hoping that they would speed up.

At the same time, the soldiers of the First Regiment were all alert and focused their attention on the battlefield ahead.

As soon as they saw any enemy dare to stand up, they would immediately open fire.

These people have all made great contributions in the war, and no one wants to miss any opportunity.

Led by tanks, a large number of troops from the Second Army advanced rapidly forward and had arrived only 200 meters away from the defense line.

The large force in the rear kept a certain distance and closely monitored the progress of the troops in the front.

Once they break through the defense line of Yecheng, they will quickly follow up and occupy the city ahead.

At this time, the regiment commander received a reply from the headquarters, and the combat plan he proposed was rejected.

He originally planned to abandon this position after a brief resistance, lead the Second Army into Yeshiva, and then use the dense fortifications in the city and the super light steel tanks transported there to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

However, Wu Er was concerned about the issue of personnel losses. If the Burmese army was blocked on the periphery, the troops, led by members of their base, would be able to attack the enemy with less damage.

After several days of fierce fighting, the Burmese army has lost thousands of people, but the casualties on Wu Er's side are no more than a hundred people, and most of the injuries are even caused by the shock caused by the artillery fire from the Burmese army.

In fact, the number of direct deaths was counted at only 16.

If the Burmese army is allowed into Yecheng, there is indeed a great possibility that the enemy can be completely annihilated, but if this is done, the losses on our side will certainly not be small.

Therefore, Wu Er did not agree with the captain's idea.

After all, as the commander-in-chief, he needs to pay attention not only to the outcome of a war, but more importantly, the impact and control of the entire war situation.

Wu Er decisively issued an order, asking the Second and Third Regiments to stop attacking, switch to a defensive state, and look for a suitable time to withdraw to Yecheng.

If we continue to surround the enemy when their main force is directly on the battlefield, we will simply be sending ourselves to our deaths.

As the Burmese army continued to advance, they soon entered the coordinate point range.

At this moment, the artillery positions in the rear began to roar, and dense artillery shells rained down on the Burmese army.

The tanks that were slowly advancing were instantly turned into scrap metal, and so many artillery pieces frightened the Burmese troops following behind so much that they fell to the ground.

Twelve of these tanks were destroyed in the first round of attack, and the remaining dozen or so turned around and ran away.

These heavy weapons are the treasures of the Second Army. If they were all lost here, they would definitely be killed by General Du Wen.

The light tank was very fast and crushed a few unlucky guys along the way and successfully escaped from the attack range.

But the hundreds of people following behind were in trouble. They lay on the ground, using cover as cover, not daring to move. They could only pray to Buddha for protection and hope that they would not be hit by the bomb.

After the first attack failed, Du Wen suddenly seemed to understand Jue Wen a little.

More than half of the tanks were lost, and he felt as if his heart was being gripped by someone and he couldn't breathe.

There were less than a hundred of these tanks in the whole of Myanmar, and he was extremely upset that more than a dozen of them were scrapped.

He didn't dare to send out the remaining tanks, but without the assistance of the tanks, he didn't know how to fight at this moment.

The battlefield fell silent for a moment, with only the occasional gunshots from the front letting them know that the war was still going on.

The sky gradually darkened, and the Burmese soldiers who had been crawling all day breathed a sigh of relief. They could retreat safely after dark.

But not long after, their hearts were once again lifted as the other side actually fired flares.

The flares slowly falling from the sky illuminated the entire battlefield as if it were daytime.

The Burmese soldiers, lying on the ground, tired and hungry, suddenly lost all morale.
