Chapter 530: Bloody Battle of Toungoo
530 Bloody Battle of Toungoo
It was 2:30 p.m. on the 25th, in Toungoo City.
Buzz!
In the sky, the humming sound of the Japanese bomber's engine could be heard.
Whoosh whoosh!
Then, one heavy bomb after another fell from the belly of the Japanese bomber towards the Toungoo City below.
There were bursts of shrill whistling sounds.
Boom boom boom!
As these bombs fell, the entire city of Toungoo and the scattered highlands and jungles around it were all covered by explosions.
Looking from the air, there are densely packed bomb craters of all sizes around Toungoo City.
This was the fifteenth large-scale bombing mission carried out by the Japanese bomber fleet flying from Rangoon in the past five days.
"idiot.
Which of our troops is now conducting the ground attack on the Chinese troops stationed in Toungoo?
It's been five days now, and we've come here more than a dozen times just for bombing.
Why has our army not been able to capture this small Toungoo until now? "
On a Japanese bomber, the pilot looked down at the bumpy ground caused by their bombing and said with dissatisfaction.
“Okay, stop complaining.
Return quickly."
The companion persuaded.
At this time, the small town of Toungoo, which originally had a population of less than 10,000 people, had long since become a ruin.
There was not a single intact building to be seen, and it was completely silent.
The ground was steaming, and on the streets of the town were parked many destroyed Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
boom!
A piece of iron sheet on the ground was lifted up, and several dusty expeditionary soldiers crawled out from inside.
Among them was the group leader Zhao Dongsheng.
"Those who are still alive, come out quickly.
The Japs are about to attack."
Zhao Dongsheng shouted loudly, looking equally embarrassed.
At this time, he, the regiment commander, was almost no different from other soldiers.
Soon, the number of expeditionary soldiers crawling out of the underground tunnels gradually increased.
There was no time to count how many soldiers were still alive in the city.
The sound of Japanese tank engines came from the streets in the north.
"The devils are coming in, get ready to fight."
Zhao Dongsheng shouted loudly.
Then, the surviving soldiers of the mobile regiment scattered throughout the city crouched down, holding explosive packs, and walked skillfully through the streets.
They entered the battle site they had selected earlier, ready to ambush the Japanese attacking forces entering the city.
Soon, on a street, a Japanese tank led the way, covering a small group of Japanese soldiers behind it, and advanced forward quickly.
After a while, a team of soldiers from the mobile regiment arrived and encountered the Japanese attack team.
Da da da!
The heavy machine guns on the Japanese tanks fired crazily.
Engage in a firefight with the machine gun fire from the mobile regiment.
boom!
The tank guns provided the firepower, while the machine guns of the mobile regiment were focused on attacking the firepower points.
Soon, the mobile regiment team that blocked them paid a heavy price in casualties.
"We must blow up the enemy's tank. We can't let them move forward."
A deputy battalion commander who led the team said through gritted teeth.
"It's the same old way. Who will lead the team this time?"
A platoon leader nearby took a long puff of his cigarette, threw the butt away, and then said, "Deputy Sun Ying, let me do it this time."
Deputy Captain Zhao took a look at the platoon leader and nodded immediately: "Okay, Second Platoon Leader.
This time you come.
Be careful. "
After hearing this, the second platoon leader turned around and pointed at three of his companions.
The three veterans immediately understood what he meant, and they came up to the second platoon leader, and the four of them quickly tied the explosive packs to their bodies.
Soon, the Japanese tanks continued to advance.
The second platoon leader, who was hiding in the ruins on both sides, rushed out with his men and tried to blow up the Japanese tank.
"Cover the second platoon leader and the others."
Deputy Commander Sun shouted, and the surrounding soldiers of the mobile regiment opened fire wildly.
"Quick, shoot them.
Keep them away from the tanks."
The Japanese squad leader immediately shouted when he saw the old soldiers with explosive packs tied to their bodies rushing towards them.
The surrounding Japanese infantry and machine gunners on the tanks concentrated their fire crazily on the four veterans of the mobile regiment.
In the end, they were unable to get close to the Japanese tank and all fell down.
"Damn you little devils, I'm going to fuck my grandma."
After seeing this scene from a distance, Deputy Sun Ying cursed in grief and anger.
"Come again! Who will come this time?"
Deputy Captain Sun did not dare to stop and organized a new death squad.
"I come."
An old squad leader raised his hand.
Soon, a new suicide squad was formed. Five veterans with explosive packs tied to their bodies once again used the ruins to rush onto the Japanese tanks.
Boom!
This time, they succeeded.
The Japanese tanks were blown up by them.
The resistance has been going on for five consecutive days until now.
The rockets brought by the mobile regiment had long been used up.
But on the third day of the resistance, a semi-mechanized detachment of the Japanese arrived.
Compared with the Japanese infantry regiment that was blocked by the mobile regiment before, this new Japanese armored regiment was equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.
It's too difficult to deal with.
As a result, the mobile regiment paid a heavy price in casualties in the following two days in order to stop the Japanese armored regiment.
The rockets have run out, the shells have run out, and the mines have been used up.
In order to stop the advance of the Japanese tanks.
They could only fill the gap with human lives and use the old method used in the Battle of Shanghai to blow up the Japanese tanks.
"Stormtroopers, charge for me!
kill! "
Deputy Captain Sun, who had already become furious, rushed towards the group of Japanese soldiers with a submachine gun as soon as the Japanese tank was blown up.
Behind him, more than twenty soldiers, also holding submachine guns, followed closely.
The combat effectiveness of the Japanese squad was greatly reduced after losing the tank cover.
Da da da!
Dense firepower poured madly towards this small group of Japanese soldiers.
The distance between the two sides has become very close at this time.
When they were on both sides, there was no time to find any cover and they just shot at each other at close range.
In this situation, this team of mobile regiment soldiers equipped with submachine guns has a huge advantage in firepower.
Puff puff!
The sound of bullets entering human bodies continued to be heard.
Soldiers, who were only a dozen meters apart, kept falling down.
"kill!"
Deputy Captain Sun yelled with red eyes, rushed forward with his submachine gun, and pulled the trigger frantically.
The Japanese soldiers in front of him kept falling down.
Faced with this situation, the other Japanese soldiers still did not retreat.
The battle stopped only when dense bullets killed all the Japanese soldiers in the squad.
This is the targeted strategy that Zhao Dongsheng and his team have developed over the past two days in their efforts to block the Japanese armored regiment.
As long as the Japanese tanks were destroyed, there would be no more tank cover and fierce fire support.
They were a stormtrooper equipped with submachine guns, who rushed forward fearlessly and engaged in close-range shooting with the Japanese soldiers.
The result is definitely that the Japanese casualties are greater than theirs.
Even the fierce Japanese were stuck in Toungoo for two days facing the desperate fighting style of the soldiers of the mobile regiment.
