"Boom!" A 4.5-inch cannon shell fell into the trenches of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. The hastily built trenches were immediately blown down. Several soldiers were even killed on the spot. The more miserable, even the bodies were torn to pieces.

"Dog*da!" Qi Meng looked angry and beat the trench hard, not even knowing that his hand was broken.

"Send telegrams to the regiment headquarters and the division headquarters to tell them that we were violently bombarded by the British, and even heavy artillery of more than 100 mm. Our losses are rising and we need reinforcements in urgent need of reinforcements." Qi Meng ordered.

Immediately, the communications soldier immediately sent a telegram.

When Xu Feipeng received the report from the front line, he was also stunned. He did not expect that the British would actually carry so many cannons.

"Damn it, these British guys are clearly coming in full force! Contact the air force and ask them to send a group of bombers to destroy the British artillery!" Xu Feipeng ordered.

Their artillery regiment was far from the front line and could not provide them with timely support. Even the artillery battalion of the 8th Infantry Regiment was only equipped with 18 75mm field artillery pieces. In terms of artillery strength, they might not be able to suppress the British. If the aviation team takes action, everything would be different. The aviation team's bombers could easily destroy all the British artillery. After the artillery was gone, what would the British use to be arrogant?

The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army Air Force has also stepped up its deployment throughout Myanmar during this period. All the airports occupied by the Japanese army have now fallen into the hands of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army Air Force. However, most of the airports are still under restoration and cannot be used yet. The only airports that can be used are currently located in Molin, Mandalay, Toungoo and Yangon.

Of course, the air force of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is now continuing to expand. After they occupied the entire Myanmar, the Americans added a lot of various aircraft to them through sea transportation, so that in the future battles, the anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army air force can firmly grasp the air supremacy of the Indochina Peninsula and even the entire Nanyang.

The current anti-Japanese and national salvation army aviation team already has 15 fighter squadrons, 5 B-25 medium bomber squadrons and 4 B-24 heavy bomber squadrons. In terms of carrier-based aircraft, it has been further expanded. It now has 4 F4U fighter squadrons, 6 SBD2 dive bomber squadrons and 4 TBD torpedo attack aircraft squadrons. These carrier-based aircraft can not only be used to attack targets on sea surface, but also replace the losses of the two aircraft carrier battle groups of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army when necessary.

Qin Shou now intends to adapt the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army Air Force into an Air Force after the establishment of the Myanmar military government. Two aircraft carrier battle groups purchased from the United States will form a navy. These armies will be the prototype of the future Air Force and Navy in the South China Sea.

After receiving Xu Feipeng's request, Xu Huansheng, commander of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army Aviation Team, immediately ordered the aviation team to take off two squadrons of P-51b fighters and one squadron of B-25 medium bombers, heading to the battlefield to bomb British artillery and reinforce the anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army infantry.

These aircraft took only one hour to arrive at the battlefield. In order to completely destroy the British artillery positions, even the P-51b fighter aircraft were equipped with aviation bombs weighing 500 pounds under the wings. As for the B-25 medium bombers, each carrying 6 500 pounds of aviation bombs.

The vast crowd of aircraft headed to the battlefield. The British artillery was about to come to an end. However, they did not seem to know this and were launching artillery bombardment against the positions of the Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Haha, you're doing it beautifully. Young men, work harder and kill those damn yellow-skinned monkeys." Brigadier General Lebert looked at the position of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, which was completely shrouded in smoke, and couldn't help but laugh.

"General, the Chinese still do not have strong firepower as always! Under our fierce shelling, the Chinese will inevitably suffer heavy losses. We will win this battle very easily." Colonel Charles said.

"Well, those damn yellow-skinned monkeys can't even produce heavy artillery, and they still want to steal Myanmar from us. This time, I'm just too bold and unrestrained to teach them a lesson and let them know that the majesty of the British Empire is not something they can provoke." Brigadier General Lebert looked proud. It was as if their actions this time defended the glory of the British Empire that had ended.

On the positions of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, the British army's fierce shelling caused them to suffer considerable casualties. Especially those new recruits, because of their lack of combat qualities, their losses were greater than those of veterans.

But even so, they gritted their teeth and persevered.

"When will our plane arrive?" Qi Meng asked.

He was very upset that he was so worried about enduring the British shelling.

"Battery Commander, the plane is already on the road, and you can arrive in half an hour at most."

"Tell me, if you hold on for another half an hour, the British artillery will be killed by us." Qi Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, battalion commander."

All officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 8th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army believed that although the current situation was a little more difficult, as long as you hold on, victory would be theirs.

"Order the artillery to stop firing. The infantry is ready to launch an attack and break through the positions of the yellow monkeys in one fell swoop." Brigadier General Lebert ordered.

He believed that half an hour of artillery preparation was enough. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army on the position should have been torn apart by them. There is no need to waste shells. This time they crossed Patkai Mountain, they did not carry many cannons. They also brought fewer shells as little as possible.

"Yes, General." Colonel Charles nodded.

Then, the British artillery stopped the artillery attack. Thousands of people from an infantry battalion launched an attack.

Thousands of British troops launched a chaotic attack on the positions of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Because the road was narrow, their formation was restricted and they were crowded together. This undoubtedly gave the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army the opportunity to exert intensive firepower.

"Let's fire!" Qi Meng ordered.

The British attack finally created an opportunity for them to take revenge.

"Da da da da!"
Chapter completed!
