Chapter 213 Controlling Myanmar

"Each artillery position is ready and can open fire." The battalion commanders of each heavy artillery battalion reported to Yu Fei, the commander of the heavy artillery brigade.

Yu Fei looked at the time and asked Qin Shou for instructions. After receiving the allowed order, he immediately issued the order to open fire.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The 72 155mm heavy howitzers from the Heavy Artillery Brigade began to pour shells into Yangon.

Then, the artillery regiments of the various infantry divisions followed closely, as if the shells were not expensive, and they smashed them hard towards Yangon.

A dense explosion sounded in Yangon City. The originally prosperous city began to turn into ruins at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yangon, as the capital of Myanmar, is the largest and most prosperous city in Myanmar. However, after the war began, the residents in the city had fled here and became an empty city. This allowed the anti-Japanese rescue to open fires frantically without worrying about harming civilians. Of course, the life and death of those indigenous people were never taken seriously by the anti-Japanese rescue. However, the safety of the lives and deaths of those Chinese people is very important.

There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese living in southern Myanmar. Most of them live in Yangon and the surrounding areas.

The artillery soldiers who were rescuing Japan made every effort to pour shells into Yangon. At the same time, the air force also joined in. The -25 medium-sized bombers and -24 heavy bombers were constantly thrown on their heads, exploding large areas of the city into ruins.

At the same time, the casualties of the Japanese troops stationed in Yangon City are also increasing.

Although the anti-Japanese rescue method is under great logistical pressure and consumes a lot of war materials. However, Americans have burdened these consumptions, so there is no need to pay attention to this aspect. What's more, once Yangon is taken, the anti-Japanese rescue can obtain a port. The support from the United States will be even greater.

After all, a large amount of supplies can be transported to Yangon without passing through the mountains and ridges on the border between India and Myanmar and delivered to the anti-Japanese rescue.

Qin Shou even issued an order during this battle, without having to stingy with supplies. A new batch of aid from the United States has already started from the United States and is on the way to Myanmar.

Therefore, the artillery soldiers naturally tried their best to pour the shells onto the Japanese head at the maximum speed.

It was a great way to fight against Japan and save the enemy. However, their enemy, Japan himself, was very upset. As long as it was a human, it probably wouldn't be willing to land shells on his head.

In the underground command of the Japanese army, the commander of the brigade of the independent 37th Brigade, Sato, Major General Tokuro and Major General Oda Masato, the commander of the 70th Brigade, were frowning.

"Baga! Damn Chinese people, are their shelling and bombing still gone? Are their shells really endless?" Major General Sato was angry.

"Sato, I know how the previous troops were defeated by the Chinese. They clearly used powerful firepower to open the way! No matter how brave our officers and soldiers were, they were flesh and blood bodies after all! How could the flesh and blood bodies fight against the Chinese shells?" Major General Oda Masato was very aggrieved.

"Damn Americans are supporting the Chinese people, otherwise their weapons and equipment will be even behind ours. How could they have such powerful firepower?" said Major General Sato.

Indeed, if we only rely on the strength to resist Japan and save ourselves, there would be no way to fight against the Japanese army. This victory accumulated with powerful firepower is even more impossible. But unfortunately, the resistance to Japan and rescue has received full support from the United States. Therefore, I have been tragic these days.

What made Major General Sato and Major General Oda Masato unacceptable was that after the two Japanese divisions and two independent mixed brigades were resolved by the anti-Japanese rescue air force, the Southern Army no longer sent troops to Myanmar. And they also ordered their two independent mixed brigades to defend Yangon. This undoubtedly treats their two independent mixed brigades as abandoned sons!

However, they could not refuse the orders of General Toshiro Tera. In the highly hierarchical Japanese Army, even though they knew that General Toshiro Tera was asking them to die, they could not refuse.

The anti-Japanese and rescued the crazy artillery and bombing lasted for a whole day. During the fierce artillery and bombing, the entire Yangon was almost blown into ruins. The Japanese army in the city independently formed the 37th Brigade and the 70th Brigade, and suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the fortifications they built, many of them were destroyed.

In addition, perhaps because he had known his fate as an abandoned son, the morale of the Japanese army in Yangon City was sluggish. Many Japanese soldiers' fighting will suffered a devastating blow.

On the afternoon of October 16, the attack on the anti-Japanese rescue began. The three infantry divisions each dispatched two regiments to attack the Japanese positions in Yangon City. The Japanese army, which had already suffered heavy losses, had no way to resist the attack on the anti-Japanese rescue, and were beaten to retreat step by step.

Of course, the fierce fighting will of the Japanese army was not completely wiped out even at this time. Some of them still launched fierce counterattacks.

However, under the general trend, the Japanese army's counterattack was like trapped beasts fighting, and it was simply a self-destruction.

The battle in Yangon City ended for only one day. In the evening of the 16th, the battle roughly came to an end. A very small number of Japanese troops were compressed on the front line of the port. Although they were still resisting, they could no longer stop the anti-Japanese and rescued occupation of Yangon.

Subsequently, these Japanese troops who resisted were also rescued by the Anti-Japanese War. Many Japanese troops even jumped into the sea, not knowing whether they were trying to swim across the sea or committing suicide.

But overall, it is impossible to stop the fight against Japan and the occupation of Yangon.

With the fall of Yangon, it marked that the entire Myanmar had fallen into the hands of anti-Japanese rescue. On the battlefield of Myanmar, the anti-Japanese rescue eliminated more than 250,000 Japanese troops. Although the anti-Japanese rescue also paid more than 20,000 people in this battle. Overall, their strength still exists.

In addition, the United States and the Shancheng government reached an agreement, and a large number of soldiers would soon arrive in Myanmar and join the anti-Japanese rescue, making the anti-Japanese rescue even stronger.

Millions of Chinese in Myanmar can become the support for the fight against Japan and their survival basis in Myanmar. After the fight against Japan and rescue control of the entire Myanmar, everything has entered a new stage. (To be continued.)
