"Teacher, should you send troops to reinforce the 5th Regiment?"

Shangguan Zhibiao also saw the seriousness of the problem and asked in a deep voice: "The naval guns of the Japanese battleship are too powerful. The artillery on Bilu Island is completely damaged and it is no longer able to pose a threat to the Japanese fleet.

Our fortress cannons and coastal defense cannons on the coastal defense line are beyond the reach! Alas, it's so anxious!"

Tang Zhensi agreed: "Yes, these three Japanese battleships are indeed a big trouble, especially the Yamato-class battleship. The 9 460mm naval guns pose too much threat, and our fortifications can't withstand its bombardment at all!"

Although this is the first official appearance of the Yamato-class battleship, Yang Fan is very clear about its existence, so it is no secret among the senior generals of the Tiger Ben Army.

However, what Yang Fan did not expect was that the Dahe battleship, which had been staying at home and not going out in the original history, appeared a few years in advance and appeared on the Myanmar battlefield.

It has to be mentioned here that when a 460mm naval gun attacks a ground target, it can cause huge craters with a radius of more than 40 meters and a depth of more than 10 meters, and the killing range will reach 300 meters.

Today, the 155mm large-caliber howitzers used by the army of various countries in the world can only cause craters with a radius of more than 15 meters and a depth of about 2 meters. This is a huge difference.

The Yamato battleship has three 3-mounted 9 main guns fired volleys, which can directly destroy targets in a residential area or a large gymnasium.

Wherever the shells go, no grass will grow, and people will be destroyed, without vitality, only death.

"No, if the threat of the Japanese battleship is not resolved, it will be useless if there are more people going up! Report this situation immediately to the General Officer, and tell Hao Cheng to let them stay for another 2 hours, and then immediately retreat to Maulammian City!"

Xie Jinyuan waved his hand, and the artillery of the Bilu Island Fortress was basically dumb, and the fortifications were greatly damaged, but he completely relied on the terrain advantage and the remaining fortifications to eat up one or two waves of Japanese offensive troops.

"The team, the teacher's seat is urgently powered!"

Soon, the communications officer sent the telegram from the division headquarters to Hao Cheng, the commander of the 7th Regiment.

Hao Cheng quickly received the telegram and frowned: "What? Let's hold on for another 2 hours and retreat to Maolmian?"

"Just give up Bilu Island easily like this? Although the Japanese artillery fire is very dreamy and our regiment suffers a lot of casualties, we can continue to fight with the Japanese with the advantage of geographical advantages. There will be no problem with holding on for another two or three days!"

Hao Cheng looked at the regiment chief of staff Li Binkai in confusion and said anxiously: "Old Li, what do you think about this?"

Li Bincai pondered for a moment and said, "It's really okay for us to stick to it until dark, but obviously, if this is the case, there will probably not be many people left in our group!

The Japanese's naval guns are indeed too powerful, especially the Japanese Yamato battleship. Even our main fortress cannot withstand a few cannons. Once ordinary bunker fortifications are bombarded, they will be a big death!

Our five 240mm K3 heavy artillery were bombarded by this ghost thing, otherwise how could the Japanese fleet be so arrogantly approaching the shore and shooting it?"

Hao Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Then you can't give up the entire Bilu Island easily. In that case, wouldn't the iron triangle be gone? Once the Japanese occupy Bilu Island, they can use this as a springboard to attack Maudmian and Motama City!

In that case, it will inevitably move and pull the whole body. Will it cause a chain reaction to the entire battle situation?"

Li Binkai said helplessly: "But the problem is that Bilu Island can no longer be defended. Even if we can delay for a long time, it actually does not make much sense for the entire battle.

Moreover, there are more powerful fortress cannons and coastal defense cannons in Mautam Fortress and Motama City. Even if the Japanese captured Bilu Island, the Japanese fleet would not have the intention to rush through the estuary of the Salwin River."

Li Binkai naturally did not want to admit defeat easily and gave up the business of Bilu Island for several months, but based on the actual situation, it is wise to stop losses and withdraw in time.

Most of the area of ​​Bilu Island is a plain with flat plains, and only the north part of the island is a hilly area. The terrain is not dangerous. It is actually not easy to persist until now under the crazy attack of Japanese aircraft, naval guns and ground troops.

Seeing that Hao Cheng was still frowning, as if he was still thinking about asking for his order to stand firm and fight the Japanese bloody battle to the end, Li Binkai said comforting again: "Old Hao, I will keep the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood. This arrangement of the master must be reasonable!"

"Okay! Soldiers take obedience as their duty! Then execute the order!"

Hao Cheng sighed lightly. Although he was unwilling to accept his feelings and was a little confused, he gave in to Biludao, but the situation was stronger than others, so he could only avoid the edge of the situation for the sake of the present.

"Report! The Japanese army dispatched a large number of air forces to launch a large-scale attack on our positions such as Taungzhi, Nansang, Maudmian, Salwin River defense line!"

"Report! The 23rd Air Brigade of the US Army and the Tiger Army Flying Tigers fought fiercely in the Japanese Air Force!"

"Report! The 18th Army of the Japanese army is divided into five groups and is attacking five towns: Taungzhi, Nansang, Gunxin, Mengbin and Jingdong. The 6th Army of our army and the 66th Army are launching a life-and-death battle with the Japanese army."

"Report! The 19th Army of the Japanese officially launched a crossing of the river against the 22nd Army!"

"Report! The Tiger Army Air Force has repelled the Japanese Air Force's attack three times and basically killed the Japanese heavy artillery troops!"

"Report! The 22nd Army launched a fierce battle of life and death with the Japanese army. More than 8,000 Japanese troops landed on the west coast, but there was no way to advance within 300 meters of the defense line along the river. They could only hide in the mudflats on the banks of the river and established a narrow frontier position!"

"Report! The Japanese Air Force once again launched a large-scale bombing on the Salwin River defense line. The artillery positions of the 22nd Army were seriously damaged, and the front-line officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties!"

"Report! The 19th Japanese Army began its third crossing of the river!..."

At this time, Chairman Jiang and a group of confidant generals gathered together in the combat hall of the Chongqing Presidential Palace, and various battlefield news came back from the Myanmar war zone thousands of miles away like snowflakes.

Chairman Chiang's face was tense. From the moment he received the Japanese army officially launched the Myanmar Battle, he did not feel relaxed.

Because today's battle is of great importance, it is related to whether Myanmar can continue to defend it, the life and death of the five Central Army, and whether the international lifeline of the Yunnan-Burma Highway can continue to jump.
