Chapter 1718 The attack is not smooth
Yangon, the head of the Myanmar War Zone.
Zhong Yi went to the kitchen for a midnight snack. After returning to the war room, he found that the atmosphere inside was a bit abnormal.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Yi asked, "Brother Shouqing, is the attack of the 22nd Army not going well?"
"The chief officer will be right as soon as he guessed." Wang Geng said with a wry smile, "The 122nd Division of the 22nd Army attacked twice, and the two main groups that were put into the attack were all crippled, but they failed to break through the first line of defense of the Japanese army."
"The main reason is that the Japanese on the west bank of the Xidang River reacted too quickly. The battle on the east bank of the Xidang River had just begun. The Japanese on the west bank immediately judged the situation, gave up the Japanese on the east bank, and contracted their defense on the spot!"
"Then the coordination work of the 23rd Group Army was not done well, and the arrival of the artillery brigade was half an hour later than the original time, which gave the Japanese army more sufficient preparation time! In addition, the Japanese on the west bank of the Xidang River repaired solid fortifications overnight, which eventually led to the 122nd Division's attack returning in vain."
"That's how it is." Zhong Yi's brows frowned, and this situation was a bit unexpected.
But then again, it is normal to have accidents. If everything can be developed according to the plan of the War Zone Chief Officer, it will not be a war, but an exercise!
After walking back and forth for a few steps, Zhong Yi suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Shouqing, I remember the 146th Division's report before that they seized six or seven landing craft, right?"
"Yes, six gunboats." Wang Geng nodded and said, "There are more than 30 fishing boats."
Wang Geng thought he had guessed what Zhong Yi was thinking, and shook his head and said, "This little transport capacity may only barely transport a battalion of troops to the West Bank at one time, and it may have no impact on the battle situation."
"That may not be." Zhong Yi said, "What if the chariot chariots were sent here?"
"What, send the chariot to you?" Wang Geng's face changed when he heard this, "This is too dangerous."
Speaking of this, Wang Geng said again: "The Vicks light tank of the chariot brigade has already attacked for fifty kilometers, and has fought with the main force of the Japanese Guards Division on the east bank of the Xidang River. It consumes a lot of money. The remaining fuel and shells are probably not able to support the next battle."
"Then hurry up and get the time to replenish it." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said.
The armored troops have special supply vehicles to be replenished at any time.
Wang Geng insisted on persuading: "Maintain, oil and ammunition can be replenished, but time cannot be replenished. There is only more than an hour left before dawn. Although the Xidang River is not as wide as the Salwin River, it will take at least half an hour to cross the river. Then, even if everything goes well, it will take at least one hour. It will be dawn at that time!"
"Once the sky brightens, the bomber group of the Japanese Air Force will immediately flock to you, and then the armored brigade will become the target for Japanese bombers to practice bomb dropping!"
"Then you must cross the river, too." Zhong Yi said unquestionably, "The Japanese army on the west bank of the Xidang River must be annihilated!"
The truth is obvious. If the Japanese army on the west bank of the Xidang River is not annihilated, the Japanese army will establish a stable advance base on the west bank of the Xidang River. At that time, the Japanese army will be able to cross the river continuously from ancient colors.
In this way, the Xidanghe defense line that Zhong Yi worked hard to manage turned bankrupt.
Once the Xidang River defense line is destroyed, there will be no danger to defend when it arrives in Yangon.
If this is the case, it would be useless even if Hu Xianqun's armored 1st Brigade was kept.
At that moment, Zhong Yi said again: "Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the 1st Armored Brigade immediately!"
"Yes!" Wang Geng's expression condensed and he could only obey and act.
...
On the east bank of Xidang River, the edge of the Japanese Guards' 1st Division.
Hu Xianqun's No. 1 car had been waiting here for half a quarter of an hour, and more and more tanks came to gather after hearing the news.
Under the night, there were more than 100 Vicks light tanks gathered behind Hu Xianqun's No. 1 body, and their entire brigade had only more than 120 tanks, which should have basically arrived.
"Not waiting for them." Hu Xianqun said with a wave of his hand, "Leave a supply car to guide here. Let them follow the tanks that are late and gather in the designated area again."
The chief of staff nodded, and was about to ask the messenger to send the messenger when he suddenly saw a communication soldier coming over.
"Travel!" The communication soldier hurriedly ran to Hu Xianqun, stood attentively and said, "The Chief Officer's Officer's Department urgently sent a telegram!"
Hu Xianqun waved his hand impatiently and said loudly: "Remember."
The communications soldier opened the folder and said, "The 1st Armored Brigade, I will order your brigade to immediately cross the Xidang River from the ferry west to support the 23rd Army to encircle and annihilate the enemies on the west bank of the Xidang River."
"Huh?" said the chief of staff in surprise, "Didn't we say we'll go to Kyauki on standby?"
"What do you care about so many things?" Hu Xianqun waved his hand and said, "I will send my order, and the whole brigade will turn around and go to the dock immediately! Then send communication soldiers to the dock to contact in advance, and let the 146th Division prepare the ship."
"Yes!" the messenger responded with a loud bang.
...
At this time, on the west bank of the Xidang River, the National Artillery Brigade's position.
Trucks drove along the highway, and the butts of these trucks were all dragging cannons, all of which were 75mm caliber Bufos Mountain Cannons.
In the wilderness on both sides of the highway, more than a dozen mountain cannons have been raised.
More than a dozen mountain cannons were like more than a dozen spears, stabbing straight into the night sky.
Zhang Yongsheng, with more than a dozen artillery soldiers, was struggling to shake the hinge wheel and raising the shooting angle.
Zhang Yongsheng, the mountain cannon that followed Zhong Yi to the only remaining Bufus mountain cannon, is now the deputy brigade commander of the 1st Brigade of the Independent Artillery Brigade of the Allied Burmese Theater.
He said he was the deputy brigade commander, but he actually did the brigade commander's work.
Because Zhong Yi, who served as the brigade commander, would not inquire about the affairs of the artillery brigade at all.
"Hurry up, you guys move quickly! What about you, you are slow and shit?"
"Mom, what's the matter with donkey hair stuffed in my ears? My throat is shaking, what's the matter with you can't hear?"
"I have told you so many times that the shells should not be piled up next to you, and you are looking for death, right? If you want to seek death, go to the next to find a crooked willow tree and hang it, so don't implicate people!"
"Cake up, put on a bra!"
In a busy and chaotic situation, more and more units have completed development.
"Report to the brigade that the preparations of gun No. 21 have been completed, please instruct!"
"Report to the brigade that the preparations of gun No. 43 have been completed, please instruct!"
"Report to the brigade that the preparations of gun No. 17 have been completed, please instruct!"
"Stand by, stand by, stand by!" Zhang Yongsheng patrolled back and forth on the position, roaring continuously, "Waiting for my next order!"
At this time, an artillery officer ran over panting.
"Brigate!" The artillery officer handed over a folder, "This is shooting the world!"
Chapter completed!
