535 Go straight to Huanglong
"Captain Hu, Toungoo will be handed over to you from now on.
My soldiers, they haven't slept for several days and need to rest."
Zhao Dongsheng said in a deep voice, feeling somewhat sad.
"Captain Zhao, rest assured, I'll leave this to you.
You should retreat to the south and rest."
Hu Xianqun nodded slightly, agreeing to Zhao Dongsheng's request.
At the same time, Hu Xianqun also turned his attention to the hundreds of veterans of the mobile regiment behind Zhao Dongsheng.
The old soldiers were dressed in a very miserable state at this time. They were dirty and looked even worse than beggars.
Many wounded soldiers still need the support of their companions, but they will not let go of their weapons.
The murderous intent in their eyes was so intense that it was frightening.
They were all silent, like a group of demons from hell.
"Let's go, brothers, go to Hill 101 and pick up the brothers over there!"
Zhao Dongsheng left Dongxu city with the hundreds of surviving veterans under his command and handed over the defense of the area to the armored regiment.
Hundreds of veterans limped slowly away from Hu Xianqun and other armored regiment officers.
"How could they hold off three regiments of the Japanese for six days?"
There was an officer of the armored regiment nearby, looking at these old soldiers who were dirtier than beggars and who walked unsteadily, with a bit of disdain.
I don't believe that they can hold off three Japanese regiments here for six days.
"Shut up. No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak."
Hu Xianqun scolded in a low voice.
“Although their military appearance was in disarray and in a state of disarray.
But the ruins, the corpses of the Japanese devils, and the scrapped tanks here are the best proof of their battle achievements.
They know respect.”
After saying that, Hu Xianqun took the lead in saluting the departing veterans of the mobile regiment.
Afterwards, he immediately arranged his armored regiment to take over the defense here and redeploy the troops.
Hu Xianqun believed that the Japanese retreat would only be temporary.
The Japs will not give up easily and will seize this place.
But since Zhao Dongsheng's mobile regiment was able to hold this place for six days, their armored regiment could not embarrass the Fifth Army.
Zhao Dongsheng led his troops out of the city.
First arrange people to send the wounded to the field hospital in the south for treatment.
He took Wang Yuan and others to Hill 101, which was the only hill outside the city and they controlled.
When they arrived at Hill 101, the severity of the situation there was no less than that in the city.
This hill, which was originally covered with vegetation and was only a few hundred meters above sea level, has become completely bare, with scorched earth all around.
The vegetation had been burned up by the Japanese bombing and artillery fire during the fighting in the past few days.
There were still many corpses left on the battlefield that the Japanese had not had time to take away before escaping.
By this time, most of the high ground had been taken over by the armored regiments.
But only on the main peak, there was still a small group of figures standing there.
It was the remaining soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Mobile Regiment defending Hill 101. They did not receive any orders from Zhao Dongsheng.
Even when the armored regiment arrived, they did not leave the main position.
"Brothers from the Second Battalion, I'm here to take you home."
When Zhao Dongsheng saw the less than fifty soldiers who were promoted on the main battlefield, his eyes welled up.
Half a day later, Zhao Dongsheng led the remaining 700 people in the regiment and retreated to a few miles southwest of Toungoo to rest.
At the same time, Ye Qingshan also received news from the armored regiment.
I know that Toungoo was not lost.
"Well done to Zhao Dongsheng, well done to the Mobile Regiment."
At this time, the commander of the retreating Japanese armored regiment, Shunta Yayama, was also urgently contacting their headquarters.
Ask what is going on and why there are armored units of the expeditionary force coming from the south.
As a result, after the telegram was sent, no reply was received for half a day.
This made the Japanese regiment commander confused.
What's going on? The headquarters has never gone so long without responding to them.
Shunta Yayama didn't know that the headquarters he contacted at this time was also in the process of emergency evacuation.
This is because at 2 pm on the 26th, the special operations regiment approached Yangon.
When the Japanese commander Shojiro Iida learned the news, he was shocked beyond words.
Then came the panic.
Because at that time, there were not many Japanese defenders in Rangoon, most of whom were civilian staff of the headquarters.
And one or two thousand Japanese puppet troops responsible for maintaining public order.
Even most of the Japanese logistical and supply troops were sent to Yenangyaung a few days ago by Shojiro Iida.
As a result, in the Battle of Yenangyaung, these Japanese invaders suffered a crushing defeat and were defeated by the special operations regiment and the armored regiment.
At this point, no one knew where he had escaped to.
Anyway, their retreat speed could not be as fast as that of the special operations regiment which used the armored regiment to move south quickly.
The entire Japanese rear area had long been depleted of troops.
Now, the appearance of the special operations group is like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
Shojiro Iida could never have imagined that they would face such a situation.
For a moment, the entire Japanese headquarters was in chaos.
So, after heated discussions, the Japanese headquarters decided to move immediately.
However, there are too many Japanese traps in Yangon City, and even if they want to move, it will take a lot of time.
Here is not only the Japanese headquarters, but also their air force airport, their material warehouses, hospitals, etc.
With so many people and organizations, it would take several days to evacuate.
But unfortunately, the special operations group led by Black Bear would not give them even a few days.
Even in the afternoon, the Japanese sent out an air force to carry out an air attack on the special operations regiment on the march.
It also failed to stop the special forces regiment's rapid march.
In this way, Black Bear's special operations regiment arrived twenty miles north of Yangon at four o'clock in the afternoon on the 26th.
"Haha, guys, look.
We have arrived at our destination.”
Black Bear stood on a mountain, looking at the city of Yangon which could be clearly seen in the distance, and shouted happily to his officers.
"Damn it, I can finally get revenge for the bombing by the devils just now."
An officer said through gritted teeth.
"Assign tasks now. The first battalion is going to take over the Japanese airport.
The Second Battalion went after the Japanese headquarters. I guess the Japanese must be covering their headquarters' escape.
You must catch up with them for me."
"Don't worry, Commander. We will not let that old devil Shojiro Iida get away."
"Other battalions, enter the city and annihilate the remaining Japanese resistance forces in the city. Anyone who resists will be killed.
Take control of the city as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Then, the special operations regiment, with more than 2,500 people, pounced towards the city of Yangon like a tiger.
Soon, the sounds of gunfire and explosions were heard in the peaceful city of Yangon.
The first to suffer misfortune was the Japanese air force airport deployed outside the city.
The first battalion attacked here first.
When the first battalion attacked the airport, many Japanese fighter planes there were still taking off urgently to escape.
"Knock them all down for me."
The battalion commander shouted loudly that now was the time for them to take revenge.
