"Brothers, this time is the first battle after the reorganization of our supplementary regiment. We have all kinds of advantages, and there is no reason not to beat the Japanese." Qin Shou's eyes swept across the faces of the officers of the supplementary regiment. All they saw were full of confidence, which made him very satisfied.

"Next, I announce the combat plan. A raid will be launched at 2 o'clock tonight. The 1st Battalion attacked the front, the 2nd Battalion and the 3rd Battalion, and launched an attack from the side. The reconnaissance company and the guard company serve as reserves. The artillery battalion has a good position and is ready to provide artillery fire support at any time. Brothers, the Japanese have much less troops than our battalion. We cannot defeat them." Qin Shou emphasized again.

It’s no wonder that Qin Shou is too long-winded. It’s really the first battle after the reorganization of the Supplementary Group. It’s related to the future fate of the Supplementary Group. Qin Shou cannot ignore it!

"Captain, please be calm. Now our supplementary regiment is strong and we can definitely kill the Japanese devils in Myitkyina." Sun Changwu, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, looked confident.

The other battalion company commanders also expressed their opinions, looking full of confidence.

Qin Shou nodded and said nothing more. Although the current supplementary regiment is still far from the first-class strong army, it will eventually grow into a first-class strong army after one fierce battle after another. Qin Shou believes in this.

After the combat order was issued, the battalions and companies of the supplementary regiment immediately took action. The three main infantry battalions began to touch Myitkyina.

Myitkyina is located on the JX shore of Irrawaddy, originating from the Irrawaddy River in China, and rushed out of the mountains north of Myitkyina. Here, it turned a corner and formed a fertile alluvial plain. It also created a favorable terrain surrounded by water on three sides of Myitkyina. In previous battles, Myitkyina has always been a strategic point.

If the Japanese army had not been empty in Myitkyina now, Qin Shou would not have the courage to attack here. Not to mention too much. As long as the Japanese army deployed more than two brigades in Myitkyina, the attack of the supplementary regiment would be very likely to end in failure.

Fortunately, although the Japanese army won the battlefield in northern Myanmar, their losses were not small. Now the Japanese army has only four divisions on the battlefield in Myanmar. Except for the 18th Division, which is the main division, the other three divisions are just three-unit divisions. The total force is only more than 80,000.

In addition to the losses and the troops confronting the Chinese army and the British army, there will definitely not be too many Japanese troops who can be used to encircle and suppress the supplementary regiments.

If the supplementary regiment can successfully take Myitkyina this time and then use Myitkyina prisoners of war and weapons and equipment to expand themselves, they will truly have the capital to gain a foothold in Myanmar. Unless the Japanese army mobilize more troops from the front line, or mobilize troops from Thailand and Malaya, there is no way to deal with them.

In Myitkyina City, the command center of the 2nd Battalion of the 112th Infantry Regiment of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the brigade, Kono Yamamoto, was a little restless. Although it was already early in the morning, he was still sleepless, as if he felt something big was going to happen.

"Come on, is there anything unusual in the city?"

"Your Captain, there are no abnormalities in the city."

"All the prisoners in the prison camp are honest, right?"

"The captains, it seems that the captives have been appointed. One of our squadrons is deployed there, and there is no problem at all."

The Japanese officer smiled. In his opinion, those Chinese prisoners were too backbone. If it were the RB army, there would never be so many people who were captured. They would rather fight to the end and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor than surrender to those who were captured.

"Well, that's good. Let our people pay attention to strengthening their vigilance. Didn't the 18th Division say that there was a Chinese defeated soldier wandering in northern Myanmar? If they came to Myitkyina, they had to defeat them!"

The 18th Division has shared the information about the existence of the supplementary regiment with other Japanese troops. However, this did not attract enough attention from the Japanese army. They obviously did not think that a defeated expeditionary army could cause any storm in northern Myanmar. This also caused the Japanese army to suffer a great loss for this.

"Hi, Captain." The officer nodded heavily. However, the expression on his face was completely dissatisfied. Although Major Hirono Yamamoto saw this, he didn't care.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was soon two o'clock in the morning.

At this time, Qin Shou issued an order to attack.

The three main infantry battalions of the supplementary regiment immediately launched an attack from the ambushed forest toward the Myitkyina city.

Although, in order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army as much as possible, they have tried their best to keep quiet. However, the three infantry battalions, a total of 2,500 people, would make some noises no matter how quiet they are.

When it was only more than one hundred meters away from Myitkyina, the 1st Battalion was discovered by the Japanese army.

"Who?" the Japanese sentinel shouted.

However, the response to him was a bullet.

"Bang!" The crisp gunshot sounded, and the sniper, who had been ambushed, blew the Japanese soldier's head with the help of the faint starlight.

It has to be admitted that the Japanese Type 99 sniper rifle has very good performance, with a maximum range of 3,500 meters and an effective accuracy range of 900 meters. Of course, at night, the accuracy will be further reduced. But even so, there is no problem to hit the enemy more than 100 meters away.

"Baga! The enemy attacked."

The gunfire also announced the beginning of the battle, and the officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment immediately launched a fierce attack.

"Da da da!" A Type 96 light machine gun in the Japanese outpost began to fire, and several soldiers rushing in front of him fell to the ground. The other soldiers also hurriedly lay on the ground.

"Where is the mortar? Blast the Japanese's machine guns to me." Sun Changwu shouted loudly.

Two Type 97 90mm light mortars have been set up. After the gunner aims at the target, he starts to bombard him.

Two mortar shells flew towards the target one after another. However, the first shell did not hit the target, and deviated slightly a few meters away, blowing away two Japanese soldiers.

But the second shell accurately hit the Japanese machine gun fire point, and the entire machine gun fire point was split into pieces, and the machine gun suddenly became silent.

The soldiers of the replenishment regiment who were originally suppressed rushed up immediately.

The Japanese army did not deploy many troops outside Myitkyina. This allowed the supplementary regiment to easily destroy them and invade Myitkyina.
