Chapter 81 The Battle of Myitkyina (4)
The US military occupied the long-range airport in Myitkyina, and Daweidon, the Allied Southeast Asian Command, woke up and found that an army under his name had attacked Myitkyina. He was kept in the dark in advance, so he was very angry that he did not inform him in advance. Churchill called him to question: "How did the Chinese and American troops fall from the sky in Myitkyina? What are your explanations?" One and a half later, Mountbatten issued a commendation order to Stilwell in the name of the Supreme Commander of the Southeast Asian Allied, which read: "Under your heroic command, the US and Chinese forces fought bravely, seized Myitkyina Airport in one fell swoop, and achieved brilliant results."
At this time, Wu Ming led the ranger to successfully smuggle across the Irrawaddy River at night and set off a front along the Bamo to Myitkyina highway.
"I've been fighting and ran to the pile of Japanese devils again." Tan Zheng said vaguely, muttering the grass stick.
"This is pretty good." Huang Zongwu lay on the grass and basked in the sun. "The scouts have been sent out, so let's wait here."
"Old Brother Huang." Tan Zheng spit out the grass stick in his mouth and said to Huang Zongwu: "When the Japanese devils are beaten away, do you still live in Myanmar?"
"Yes, I'm used to it." Huang Zongwu said with a smile: "Pick up your wife and children from Yunnan and spend the rest of your life here!"
"Yunnan is also good." Fu Lijun leaned over and said, "Isn't the climate and geography quite close to this? We can still meet frequently."
"The boss doesn't let me." Huang Zongwu looked around secretly and whispered: "I talked about this when I was chatting with him. He asked me to stay in Myanmar."
"What does it mean?" Fu Lijun asked in confusion: "The commando school has been established in Kunming. Can't the leader go back?"
"It should be back!" Huang Zongwu thought for a moment, "However, I still admire the boss's eyes, so I decided to listen to him, maybe stay in Kunming Dangdang instructor, or maybe go back to Myanmar to live directly."
"Do you think your boss takes special care of Xiao Minghua?" Tan Zheng changed the topic and said mysteriously.
"It's mysterious. Who doesn't know about this!" Fu Lijun rolled his eyes. "I'm going to the Malay Peninsula to participate in the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. It's normal for the leader to teach him better. Besides, this young man is very smart and can convince the public. Those overseas Chinese children will listen to him."
Huang Zongwu chuckled softly. He knew the current dream of those overseas Chinese children. As a descendant of Yan and Huang who had been wandering abroad for many years, he had tasted the oppression of British colonists and the discrimination of local people. He agreed with the Chinese independence and founding of the country, and he knew that this matter could not be widely publicized.
"Oh, that's the case." Tan Zheng nodded with some understanding.
"Look, the telegrapher seems to have received some news. Maybe there is a war to be fought?" Huang Zongwu stood up, patted the dust on his body, and called the two of them to walk towards Wu Ming together.
"Our location is between Bamo and Myitkyina. Specifically, it is an enemy from both sides." Wu Ming pointed to the map and introduced to several cadres: "The reconnaissance posts heading towards Bamo have not yet heard of it. However, near the Myitkyina Ferry not far from us, according to the reconnaissance post report, there were less than a thousand Japanese troops and hundreds of artillery soldiers. The remaining ones were guards. Fearing from the bombing of US aircraft, Japanese artillery was swimming and using artillery fire from time to time to support the Myitkyina defenders across the river."
"Farewell this group of devils first, and then turn back to deal with the Japanese troops in Bamo." Tan Zheng waved his fists very simply.
"This fight tells the Japanese army around us that we have crossed the river." Huang Zongwu frowned, "If we can't kill them cleanly, there will be trouble. Our mission is to block the Japanese army in the direction of Bamo."
"Don't you know if Bamo's Japanese are coming?" Tan Zheng said dissatisfiedly: "Destroy this group of Japanese first, so as to avoid being attacked from both sides in the future."
"Use the American plane!" Fu Lijun said tentatively: "Find the Japanese camp or hiding place, call the plane to bomb, and maybe they can be destroyed without taking action."
"I agree with Brother Fu's statement." Xiao Minghua nodded and said, "Try not to show off. If you can do something bad, you should do something bad. At the critical moment, you will be ruthless. Are artillery soldiers? The combat effectiveness is definitely not good."
"Then let's do this first!" Wu Ming turned to the telegrapher and said, "Send a newspaper to the reconnaissance squad, let them find out the situation of the Japanese devils' station, carefully calibrate the location, and try not to expose the target."
"Just just in case, I think the troops should be brought closer to the enemy. As long as you pay attention, you should not be discovered." Wu Ming said to several cadres: "What do you think?"
It seems OK." Huang Zongwu agreed: "The hidden approach is originally our strengthening company to stay here first and prepare to respond."
"Agree." "Agree."......
The unrounded moon gradually rose to the sky. A transparent gray cloud covered the moonlight lightly, and a light smoke seemed to be clouded in the jungle, hazy.
In order to avoid the bombing of American aircraft, the Japanese camps were not concentrated, and they were all set up in a hidden place. There were three camps in total. The open spaces in the camp were parked with camouflaged trucks and cannons, and sentries were patrolling back and forth. Under all the calm appearance, there was a deadly murderous intent. The Rangers had surrounded the largest military camp from all sides.
"Buzz..." The sound of the aircraft engine became louder and closer. The military camp that was under the control of the *** was pitch black, and the Japanese army in the camp was not too panicked, and they all thought it was just an occasional plane.
"Ba, bha, bha..." Several red signal flares rose from outside the camp and flew into the camp with their gorgeous bright tails. The light illuminated the terrified face of the Japanese.
The planes in the air rushed towards the air like beasts smelling blood. Burning bombs roared down, and after the explosion, a raging fire lit up. In the flames, the Japanese army began to run out. Some went to rescue trucks and cannons in the air, some set up machine guns and pointed them into the sky, while the Japanese sentries picked up their guns and chased and searched at the ground that fired signal flares.
With the light of fire, Wu Ming gently pulled the trigger. A Japanese officer standing next to the truck and pointed and commanded, as if he was suddenly punched hard, and the other fell to the ground with a clang. It seemed that his skills had not regressed. Wu Ming sneered and continued to search for valuable targets. Other hidden snipers of the Rangers also opened fire, and bullets kept firing out of the darkness. The Japanese officers, truck drivers, and machine gun shooters all fell to death.
The plane that dropped the incendiary bomb turned around and flew back again. With the sporadic machine gun fire on the ground, it swept across the treetops and poured the bomb into the Japanese camp like laying an egg.
The truck caught fire, the cannons hung high, and in the explosion of fire, the broken limbs and arms were broken, and broken weapons were flying all over the sky, mixed with smoke and dust, screams, wails, and screams filled the ears. Most of the Japanese were panicked and ran around like headless flies. The Japanese next to the bomb were thrown a few meters and fell down and stopped moving. Chaos, a mess, and a few bold Japanese were aimlessly shot with guns. Most of them were already in horror and didn't know what they were shouting. Wu Ming looked at all in a cold sight in the scope, knocking down targets that might threaten them to the ground.
"Dadada..." The firepower teams in charge of suppressing the troops in front opened fire, and dense bullets poured at the crowd. In an instant, a large number of Japanese troops who rushed out of the camp were knocked down. Machine guns and submachine guns kept spitting out flames, and light mortars also began to fire, while snipers such as Wu Ming slowly killed the most valuable targets one by one.
Not long after, the Japanese army's resistance collapsed under the crazy shooting of machine guns and submachine guns. The infiltration team and assault team began to take action and killed the panicked Japanese devils. The devils who fought stubbornly based on the cover were the target of the sniper.
An hour later, the military camp was basically cleared, and the entire camp was in chaos. The Japanese corpses were all over the ground, and some injured were shot and killed by the Rangers without mercy. The other two Japanese camps were also bombarded by planes guided by the ground. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, they were unable to reinforce the place.
"Cancel the team." Wu Ming stood up and said to the messenger beside him.
A green signal flare flew up in the air, and the rangers began to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner in batches and disappeared into the vast night.
"Report." A staff officer walked into Stilwell's tent and handed the telegram in his hand. "The Rangers sent a telegram. Under the bombing of the plane, the Rangers wiped out more than 400 Japanese devils in one of the camps, and the other two camps also suffered heavy losses, especially the artillery, which were basically destroyed. The plane that just returned also confirmed these situations."
Stilwell nodded, his joy flew in a flash, "Can't you still contact the 150th Battalion?"
"Yes, general." The staff officer replied truthfully: "The Second Battalion, which was heading to rescue, was stubbornly resisted by the Japanese army and progressed slowly. We estimate that the First Battalion might not be in good condition."
