Mandalay is located in central Myanmar, just on the dividing line between winter and no winter.

In December, heavy snow fell in Northeast China, and most areas in China were experiencing severe cold.

But the brothers of the 200th Division could not feel the cold at this moment, and their backs were hot with the afternoon sun.

Some people still wear dirty winter clothes when they come to Myanmar from Yunnan. After roasting in the sun for a period of time, their bodies inevitably smell strange.

Many people are wary of the enemy's constant tickling, and comfort and discomfort coexist.

It was 3:30 pm, and the advance troops of the 213th Japanese Wing finally appeared on the road.

When he saw the Japanese advance troops, Du Guangting and Commander Dai couldn't help but jump a few times.

Unlike the picture I had imagined before, the first one to appear in the field of view were 6 tanks.

Except for the tank in the front that did not carry people on the outer wall of the tank because it was responsible for opening the road and fire reconnaissance mission, the five tanks followed were filled with Japanese soldiers, which looked very bloated.

A large number of military vehicles followed behind the tank, with a number of no less than 20.

The military vehicles were also filled with Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers looked a little lazy and weak, and some were even dozing off.

A young staff officer next to Commander Dai frowned and said:

"The information did not say that the 33rd Division had tanks, and where did these military vehicles come from?"

Du Guangting snorted coldly,

"Look clearly, these tanks are not Japanese."

"Leave the cars and tanks to the Japanese. Who is their ally? Haha..." Commander Dai sneered!

The people around him also reacted one after another.

The tanks and military vehicles that appeared in front of us were all left by the British army when they were fleeing. The advance troops of the 33rd Division of Japan turned their troops into motorized infantry with no effort.

"Notify the artillery battalion to adjust the shelling targets and let me kill the Japanese tanks and military vehicles as soon as possible!"

Commander Dai clenched his fists and ordered coldly.

...

Colonel Mitsuhe, the captain of the Japanese Infantry 213 Regiment, has received a reminder from the division headquarters that there may be Chinese people ahead!

In order to prevent possible attacks, Colonel Guanghe set up a long snake formation with a single character!

His idea is very simple. A single-character snake formation can prevent all troops from falling into the ambush circle of Chinese people.

In Colonel Mitsuhe's view, the Chinese Expeditionary Force was only a little stronger than the British army, but it was impossible to stop the Imperial Army.

Unless the legendary 6th Corps appears in front, Colonel Mitsuhe will not let himself fall into a state of tension.

Colonel Guan He was sitting in the co-pilot of the military vehicle, his body shaking with the shaking of the car. He hugged his hands in front of his chest, his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping soundly.

Six tanks are at the forefront, and even if they are ambushed by the Chinese, they will not be in danger!

Infantry units can follow behind the tanks to chase the Chinese. The soldiers of the 33rd Division are masters of rat chasing, and they are skilled.

"boom!"

The sudden explosion scared Colonel Kura and other sleepy Japanese soldiers, jumping, and some fell off the tank, in a very embarrassing situation.

"Stop! Prepare for the war!"

Colonel Mitsuga reacted quickly and issued an order as soon as possible.

He jumped out of the military vehicle and looked up at the front of the road.

His eyes passed over the panicked and scattered imperial soldiers and finally locked in the explosion point ahead.

The tank responsible for path exploration and fire reconnaissance has overturned to the side of the road, like a turtle that has turned over. Half of the turtle's body has disappeared, and thick smoke and flames are rising from the inside.

The mountains and forests on both sides of the highway were still as quiet as ever, but Colonel Guanghe's heart was raised to his throat, and a few words blurted out:

"Anti-tank mine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of shells breaking through the air came from above his head, which was so close.

"Swish swish swish swish..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The first thing the shells call for is tanks and military vehicles. Once hit by a 105mm grenade, the military vehicles will explode and disintegrate instantly, and the splashed parts will become deadly weapons.

Colonel Guanghe rolled into the ditch next to the highway. The military vehicle he had just taken had turned into a pile of scrap copper and iron. Driven by the shock wave, a tire brushed Guanghe's scalp and flew to the back, smashing over two soldiers who could not dodge.

Tanks rush around in the explosion, but their numbers are declining sharply.

Some were hit by shells falling from the sky and fell into bed on the spot. Some were in panic and crushed to anti-tank mines on the road. The steel body trembled a few times and finally stopped moving.

"Counterattack! Counterattack!"

Colonel Mitsuhe pulled out his command knife and shouted loudly.

All this happened in just two minutes, and the earth was trembling continuously.

The Japanese soldiers were like headless flies, huddled together in groups of three or three, holding rifles to look into the jungle.

The light and heavy machine guns have already opened fire, but I don’t know where the enemy is.

The soldiers of the 200th Division still did not move. After the artillery battalion began to shell, the mortars hidden in the woods also opened fire one after another.

The Japanese on the road were overturned by bombed people, as if a group of ants were dancing under the war drums.

The 33rd Division fought for many days in a row, and the soldiers' reaction ability had dropped a lot.

When the overwhelming rain of bullets came, many Japanese were beaten into sieves, and blood-red little red flowers bloomed in the cannon fire.

Mauser 98k rifle, mg34 and mg42 universal machine gun, mp40 submachine gun...

These equipment are rare in the Sixth Corps, but at this moment they are roaring in the hands of 200 brothers.

The weeds were swept down in pieces by machine gun bullets, and the fractures were neatly arranged.

After the weeds were the Japanese soldiers of the 213th Regiment. A large hole appeared in their helmets, and blood and brain matter were gushing out.

The grenade launcher was suppressed by the Chinese machine gun fire, and the three axe tactics had no room for implementation.

The Japanese buried their heads in the soil and their butts were facing the sky.

Guided by artillery observers, a battalion of 105mm howitzers were blown from beginning to end along the road.

The Japanese army's heavy firepower was basically on the road, and the losses were heavy now.

The two hundred divisions were waiting for their work, and the morale of the troops was high. As soon as the two sides fought, more than 3,000 Japanese devils in the 213th Japanese Regiment were suppressed!

Corps Captain Guanghe pinched the communication soldier's neck and said:

"Give power to the division commander and ask for tactical guidance!

Tell the division commander that we were ambushed by the main Chinese troops. Judging from the firepower, it is likely that the 6th Corps has entered Myanmar in advance!”

"Hi Yi!"

The 214th Regiment of the 33rd Division followed behind the 213th Regiment, and there was less than two hours between the two sides.

The 214th Regiment soon received an order to rush to help, and the Japanese soldiers began to run wildly.

Du Guangting and Commander Dai watched the Japanese tremble and howl in the firepower of the 200th Division, and their hearts were finally relieved, with a smile on their faces.

Without disappointing the expectations of the people across the country, the Expeditionary Force won the first battle to enter Myanmar.

After more than 40 minutes of the battle, the 200th Division attacked the entire line.

The brothers carrying bayonets rushed out of the woods. They were like tigers going down the mountain, shouting and stabbing the Sanling Army into the chests of the remaining soldiers of the Japanese 213 Regiment.

The Sanling Army Pillar was pulled out, and blood spurted out from the Japanese heart with a squeak!

Because it was the first time to use the Triangle Sword to fight, the brothers of the 200th Division were not very experienced and accidentally made the blood covered their faces.

Under the stimulation of blood, the veterans became more and more braver in the battle.

They vented all their waits for more than half a year on the Japanese, with red knives coming in and white knives coming out.

The Japanese are exhausted, and the number difference between the enemy and us is huge. Although they struggle fiercely and fiercely, they still cannot escape the fate of being massacred.

The Expeditionary Force did not capture any prisoners in the first battle into Myanmar. Except for the 700 people in the 33rd Division, the main force was all wiped out except for the 213th Regiment of the 33rd Division.

While cleaning the battlefield, the brothers found that Colonel Guanghe, the captain of the 213th Regiment, was shot five times, two shots were shot on the head, and half of the skull was lifted away.

It turned out that as soon as the battle started, Kazuhi was targeted by at least five snipers.

Du Guangting kicked the body of the Japanese corps captain and said excitedly to the adviser behind him:

"Send a report to the Expeditionary Force Command and the Chongqing Military Commission that the 200th Division won the first victory of the Expeditionary Force in Madeya, annihilated more than 3,000 Japanese troops, and seized countless materials and ammunition!"
Chapter completed!
