Chapter 536 Amazement
536 A new look
Whoosh whoosh!
Rockets and mortar shells were fired crazily at the Japanese airport, and suddenly the airport was engulfed in flames.
The special forces soldiers, who had been holding a lot of anger in their hearts, rushed in with roars.
Boom!
The Japanese fighter planes were constantly being blown up, and those Japanese ground crew members who did not have time to escape were also ruthlessly slaughtered.
Da da da!
"Kill! Leave no one behind."
Assault team soldiers kept charging into the airport, and they frantically pulled the trigger when they encountered any enemy.
Before long, the entire Japanese airport was occupied by the first battalion.
A large number of Japanese soldiers, ground crew, and some pilots were all killed.
However, only a dozen Japanese fighter planes were destroyed in the airport.
Because, after all, they arrived a little late, before the first battalion arrived to attack.
The commander of this Japanese airport had already received an order from Shojiro Iida to evacuate the air force stationed here immediately.
Fly back to Siam airport.
Most of the Japanese air force's fighter planes in the airport had already flown away.
Only the last batch of fighter planes were captured by a battalion that attacked quickly before they could take off.
"Damn it, it's too late."
The battalion commander felt a little regretful.
But this result is already pretty good.
At the same time, fierce gunfire sounded in Yangon.
The hundreds of Japanese soldiers left behind, along with their Japanese puppet troops, were desperately trying to block the attacking special operations battalions.
Trying to buy time for the retreat of the Japanese headquarters and other agencies in the city.
It’s a pity that facing the elite special operations regiment, the Japanese with their small number of troops are simply like an ant trying to stop a tree.
Not long after the two sides exchanged fire, the Japanese blocking troops were defeated.
Two hours later, the special operations regiment took over the entire city and began to eliminate the remaining resistance forces of the Japanese devils in the city.
"Captain, there is a Japanese hospital ahead, and there are many wounded Japanese soldiers inside.
How to deal with it? "
A platoon leader ran up to the commander of the third battalion of the special operations regiment and asked for instructions.
"Are you stupid? Do you need to ask for instructions on this?
Follow the old rules and do it cleanly. "
The third battalion commander criticized him harshly.
"Yes, Captain.
I see. "
On the other side, the troops of the Second Battalion tracked the whereabouts of the Japanese headquarters all the way eastward.
"Captain, our scouts said that there are traces of the Japanese in the three directions ahead.
What should we do? "
After hearing this, the second battalion commander also realized that the Japanese were deliberately trying to confuse them.
Among these three groups of fleeing Japanese, only one was the real Japanese headquarters.
"Damn it, we can only chase them separately."
The second battalion commander was also unable to determine which group was the real Japanese headquarters, so he could only use the most stupid method.
Chase all three ways.
“Tell the companies to hurry up.
Tell them that in front of them is the fleeing Japanese headquarters.
Whoever captures the Japanese commander Shojiro Iida for me, their company will be awarded the title of heroic company.
Each person can also receive a reward of thirty dollars.”
Ye Qingshan's army has a strong obsession with killing and capturing the Japanese generals alive.
This is also the highest honor that every company in Ye Qingshan’s army desires the most.
So, that night, each company of the Second Battalion of the Special Operations Regiment each bit the pursuing Japanese troops and attacked them desperately.
He vowed to capture the Japanese commander Shojiro Iida alive.
In this situation of escape, Shojiro Iida had no energy to care about the situation in Toungoo Castle.
It’s important to save your own life.
The direction in which Shojiro Iida fled was towards Mawlamyine in the east.
This was the earliest supply base established by the Japanese. Because it was close to Siam in the east, it was also the main passage into Siam from the east.
On the evening of the 26th, Ye Qingshan received a telegram from the Special Operations Regiment at the headquarters.
“Did Black Bear and his men break into Yangon?
Hahaha, good, very good!"
After hearing this, Ye Qingshan laughed happily.
Then, he continued to ask Xiao Wusheng: "Did you take down the Japanese headquarters?"
"Commander, the telegram says that the Japanese headquarters is fleeing eastward.
A battalion of the special operations regiment is pursuing the enemy overnight, and the outcome is not yet known."
“Okay, I hope the special forces can catch that old devil Shojiro Iida.
When the time comes, I will let him live with their Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko."
Ye Qingshan was in a good mood.
The two good news that came back from the Armored Regiment and the Special Operations Regiment today are extremely important for this battle.
"Tell General Stilwell today's news.
Tell him to quickly deliver a new batch of ammunition and supplies to me.
Stop dragging things out for me.
Now the time has come to destroy the main force of the Japanese 15th Army trapped in Mandalay."
The smile on Ye Qingshan's face did not disappear for a long time.
It has been a week since the counterattack. After eating so many appetizers, it is finally time to have the main meal.
However, this week the main force of the expeditionary force also launched several attacks in order to consume the ammunition of the Japanese 15th Army.
It also caused the expeditionary force to consume a huge amount of ammunition.
In order to ensure that their expeditionary force can successfully defeat the Japanese 15th Army.
Ye Qingshan needed to ask Stilwell to send more ammunition supplies before the general attack.
It was ten o'clock in the evening. Stilwell and Luo Zhuoying, who were far away in Imphal, and several other American officers were also awake.
In fact, they are always paying attention to the battle situation on the front line.
Regarding Ye Qingshan's action of sending the armored regiment and the special operations regiment to attack the rear of the Japanese and head straight to Rangoon.
Stilwell knew it too.
"Ye Qingshan is really bold in his use of troops.
This type of armored unit would make long-distance raids to the enemy's rear and carry out penetration and encirclement tactics.
I originally thought that this could only be seen in lectures at our Western military academies.
Unexpectedly, this general from the East has already mastered this technique so skillfully.
I admit that I underestimated him before. "
Stilwell looked at the map and saw the expeditionary force offensive map drawn up by his staff, which made him look at Ye Qingshan with admiration.
At this time, on the Western Front, the long red arrow that represented the attack route of the Armored Regiment and the Special Operations Regiment and went straight behind the Japanese was particularly eye-catching.
“Yes, Commander-in-Chief.
I seriously suspect that General Ye eavesdropped on the theoretical course on armored group combat at our West Point Military Academy.
The other party's understanding of the use of armored forces is much deeper than that of other Chinese generals.
Before, other Chinese generals I had met all used armored forces as a tool to cover infantry attacks.
The true power of the armored forces was not brought into play at all.
General Ye's use of the armored cluster is the true use of the armored cluster."
Another American colonel nearby also said with emotion.
“To be honest, this is the most eye-catching thing used by armored forces in this world so far.
It was undoubtedly the blitzkrieg tactics of the Germans not long ago.
Ye Qingshan's tactics of deep penetration of armored groups behind enemy lines and flanking attacks were only taught in military academy classrooms before.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone successfully use it in actual combat.”
