On the morning of June 11, the 46th Japanese Army continued to march towards Myitkyina. Along the way, they did not encounter any interception or harassment. At this moment, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was already waiting outside Myitkyina City.

"Commander, the Japanese army is only ten kilometers away from us!" an officer reported.

The scouts of the reconnaissance battalion are closely monitoring the Japanese army and can clearly grasp the movements of the Japanese army at any time.

"Well! Order the tribes and be prepared. When the Japanese are coming, don't let them leave Myitkyina again." Qin Shou had made up his mind to eat all these Japanese in one fell swoop.

"Don't worry, commander. We have already set up a net of heaven and earth. It is absolutely impossible for the Japanese to escape." Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan was also full of confidence in this battle.

Qin Shou nodded, and he naturally believed that this battle would definitely wipe out the 46th Japanese Regiment in one fell swoop.

Time passed by minute by minute, and at 10 a.m., the 46th Japanese Regiment had already reached the outside of Myitkyina City. It was less than two kilometers away from the defense line of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

"Your Excellency the Army Captain, there are about tens of thousands of Chinese people on the defense line outside Myitkyina. According to the information we obtained, they have all included more than 30,000 prisoners of war in the city. This means that they have more than 30,000 troops. Now, they only deploy more than 10,000 people outside the city, and there is probably some conspiracy among them." Major Goro Yamane, the captain of the 1st brigade, said cautiously.

"This possibility is not ruled out. However, I prefer that those Chinese people are truly combat-capable, only more than one thousand people. Other troops have just come out of the prisoner-of-war camp, and even if they are given new weapons, they may not have combat-capable. Therefore, the only thing we really have to deal with is more than ten thousand Chinese people. After defeating them, the remaining mobs will be vulnerable at all!"

Colonel Tochigi was obviously more optimistic. What he said was undoubtedly the most optimistic situation. Of course, the possibility was also very high.

Major Goro Yamane nodded and said nothing more. Since Colonel Tochigi Kou had his judgment, he had no room for speech.

"You guys, the Chinese have built a line of defense outside Myitkyina and want to block us outside the city. I think this is the Chinese who are buying time. They still have more than 20,000 troops that have just been reorganized from prisoners of war camps and have not yet been able to form combat power. If they are given more time, once those troops also form combat power, it will pose a greater threat to us.

So, I decided to launch an attack in half an hour and break through the defense line of the Chinese people in one fell swoop. Invade the Myitkyina city and kill all the Chinese people!"

Colonel Tochigi said confidently, as if everything was in his control of this battle, and they were sure to win.

"Hi, Mr. Captain!" Several captains answered one after another.

"Then, you guys, please go down and take a break. In half an hour, the attack will begin." Colonel Tochigi nodded with satisfaction.

The Japanese infantry began to rest. Some soldiers went to the Irrawaddy River and fed some clear water. Then they used clear water to start lunch with rice balls.

Although it was still early and it was not time for dinner. But they knew that once the war started, there would probably be no time for lunch. In addition, I had to ride so far this morning, so I naturally needed to fill my stomach first.

However, the Japanese artillery squadron and five brigades of artillery squadrons did not have time to rest. They needed to build artillery positions and deploy their Type 92 infantry artillery onto the positions. Before the battle began, they were also required to use artillery bombardment to disintegrate the morale of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

The artillery squadron of the 46th Japanese Army's 46th Regiment had six Type 92 infantry artillery pieces. Each brigade below had an artillery squadron, each equipped with two Type 92 infantry artillery pieces. Because of the strengthening of the two brigades, the 46th Regiment had a total of 16 Type 92 infantry artillery pieces. Such firepower was undoubtedly very powerful. It also made Colonel Tochigi more confident.

"Captain, the Japanese are having lunch." Liu Shiquan reported.

"Let the brothers eat some dry food and keep their stomachs. When the Japanese are eliminated, they will hold a celebration banquet!"

"Okay, commander." Liu Shiquan immediately ordered.

Therefore, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army and the Japanese army ordered to start having lunch in advance, which was also considered to be a preparation for the next fierce battle.

Half an hour passed soon. The captain of the Japanese artillery squadron reported to Colonel Tochigi that they were ready.

"Your Excellency the Corps Commander, the artillery squadrons and the artillery squadrons of each brigade have completed the preparations. Please give me instructions!"

"Yo Xi! Fire the gun immediately so that those Chinese people can know the power of the Ojiben Empire." Colonel Tochigi stuffed all the rice balls in his hand into his mouth, and then issued an order to fire the gun.

"Hi, Your Excellency Corps Captain." The squadron leader of the artillery squadron immediately went back and prepared to go.

Colonel Tochigi held up a telescope and prepared to watch the heavy losses of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army under the fierce artillery attack of the Japanese army.

In his wings, the Chinese soldiers were very afraid of Japanese artillery bombardment. They would panic under the shelling, or even flee without fighting. In this way, the possibility of the Japanese army winning would be even higher.

"Fire the artillery!" With the order of the captain of the Japanese artillery squadron, the 16 Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery began to shoot.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the sound of cannons, one by one, the shells roared towards the position of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

After the explosion, shrapnel shot everywhere and gunpowder filled with smoke. The shock wave wrapped around the soil and stones and shot towards the surroundings.

The soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army on the position had already curled up into the trenches. The trenches built in one day yesterday gave them great protection, which resulted in no casualties from the Japanese artillery bombardment.

Seeing the smoke rising from the position of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, Colonel Tochigi nodded with satisfaction. There was even a scene of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army collapsing during artillery attacks in his mind.

Unfortunately, everything is destined to be just Colonel Tochigi's own imagination. Reality will soon slap him hard.

"Order Yu Fei's artillery regiment to open fire on me. Bang his mother and let the Japanese also taste our power. Let them know that we are no longer the former Wuxia Amon!" Qin Shou ordered.

"Yes, commander." The communications soldier immediately ordered.

"The commander has an order, the artillery regiment, blow me up!" Yu Fei, the commander of the artillery regiment, ordered.

Immediately, the artillery regiment's 54 105mm howitzers and 12 150mm howitzers began to bombard the artillery regiment!
Chapter completed!
