Chapter 997 The whole world is quiet
"Baga! The shells are coming again!"
"Run!"
"Help! I don't want to die!"
"God Amaterasu, help me!"
The river surface that the Japanese chose to attack was relatively narrow in the middle and lower reaches of the river section, but the average width was four or five hundred meters wide.
From the beginning of retreat to the third round of fire-raising arrival, the first wave of Japanese soldiers who went into the water and fled to the east coast took more than 20 minutes, so the fast-moving Japanese soldiers had already landed on the east coast one after another.
However, just when they all felt that they were about to escape from the sky, the third rocket launcher finally fell from the sky and exploded crazily.
Bang bang bang bang, this time the rocket artillery fire covers mainly on the surface of the Salwen River and the Japanese positions on the east bank of the river, which happened to hit the area where the Japanese were most concentrated.
As rocket launchers, which were a few points stronger than the explosion of 155mm howitzers exploded wildly, forming an absolute death radius.
Countless metal fragments and super-pressure shock waves that were knocked away were like death harvesters. Uncovered Japanese soldiers fell down one by one, some were blown to pieces, some were blown to pieces without arms and legs, some were blown into the air, and some were lying on the ground and were shaken to death.
They came and went in a hurry. The earth-shaking explosion lasted only for more than ten and twenty seconds, but it brought a catastrophe to the fleeing Japanese infantry.
After the shelling ended, the whole world suddenly became quiet. On the surface of the Salwin River, the mudflats on the east bank were silent. Both sides of the enemy and us were stunned. The entire Salwin River defense line became surprisingly quiet!
Only the rolling smoke that covers the sky and the strong smell of blood, which reminds both the enemy and us that we have just experienced a terrible feast of slaughter.
"It's over! It's all over!"
The riverside was blinded by the eyes, staring blankly at the gray world ahead, his eyes completely lost their focal length, and his whole body seemed to have suddenly become a clay sculpture.
I have to say that the last wave of fire-raising bombing was so fatal. The third-class Japanese soldiers by the river saw that there were thousands of imperial soldiers about to escape from the sky, thinking that they could recover some blood.
But at the critical moment when the third-class old Japanese were full of hope, a round of fierce and precise artillery fire cover directly shattered their fantasies and luck, and it was as if they had stabbed a few times in their hearts.
"Baga, the road! Damn Chinese, you must die a good death! The Japanese Empire will definitely not let you go! Puff!..."
Once again, he fell into Yang Fan's hand. The more anxious Zheng San thought about it, the more angry he became. He was anxious for a moment, and suddenly he felt a dizzy turn. Then he suddenly felt a breath of old blood spurted out as salty mouthed.
"Ah, Commander!"
"Military doctor! Military doctor! Come quickly!"
"Your Excellency Commander, please wake up!"
Zheng San, a riverside, vomited blood in anger, then became weak and collapsed in a crooked manner. This made the high-ranking Japanese officials around him busy.
"Baga Road! How could this happen!"
Lieutenant General Guan Kazuji, commander of the 20th Army of Japan, was also stunned at this time. Just half an hour ago, he saw that the 19th Army had broken through the defense line of the 22nd Army, and more than 10,000 imperial soldiers were standing steadily on the west coast.
It seems that only if you need to further steadily and steadily, you can completely break through the defense line of the Salwin River and further open the estuary of the Salwin River. In this way, the Myanmar's dispatched troops can capture Yangon all the way, thereby further attacking the 18th Army from north to south to conquer the entire Myanmar.
But the ideal is full of reality and skinny. Everything in front of you has completely changed in just over half an hour. More than 10,000 imperial soldiers lost all their losses under the cover of sudden terrifying artillery fire, and the armor was completely destroyed!
Such a terrifying powerful artillery cluster exceeded Guan Guizhi's imagination. He was shocked and fearful. His mind was blank. He could not clarify his thoughts at all and could not calm down his mood. He looked at the battlefield filled with smoke in the distance.
"Baga! How could the Chinese army have such a powerful heavy artillery cluster? What are our intelligence departments doing to eat!"
Major General Mingkang, the chief of staff of the 20th Army, was trembling all over. In addition to shock and fear, he also felt deeply grateful.
That's right, seeing the 19th Army being bombed so tragically and without any room for resistance, I was afraid that Ming Cangju would actually use a sickly happy person: Yes, fortunately, the main attacking force today is the 19th Army, not their 20th Army.
Otherwise, the 20th Army would only end up with the same fate and would die extremely ugly.

Hitaro Kimura pointed to the military map and said, "His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, the Northern Army is currently in a very smooth attack under the cooperation of the Imperial Air Force, and has continuously conquered several peripheral defense lines of the 6th Army and the 66th Army of the Kuomintang.
The 18th Army's imperial warriors are further advancing to the four towns of Taungzhi, Nansang, Gunxin and Jingdong. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take not long to make breakthroughs again."
"Yoxi!"
Meijiro Umezu said again: "Kimura, please explain to me in detail the comparison of the troops and the number of technical equipment in the two battlefields in the north and south."
"Hayi."
Kimura Hitaro quickly paused, picked up the wooden pole and pointed at the sand table to start explaining:
?Kimura Hitaro also said: "In the northern battlefield, that is, in the direction of Shan State, the Imperial Army has a military force of 1 army, 3 A divisions, and 1 B division. The total force is about 120,000.
On the northern battlefields, there are the 6th Army, the 66th Army, the 71st Army, and the two newly formed Hu Ben Army on the second line of defense. The total strength of the Chinese army that defended the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the northern Myanmar Industrial Zone was about 250,000.
Although the technical equipment of the 6th Army and the 66th Army, which were blocking the 18th Army, exceeded that of the Imperial Army, the combat effectiveness of these two national troops was far inferior to that of the Imperial Army!
The 18th Army can completely break through and defeat the 6th Army in a short time, and the 66th Army will firmly stand firm in the front line of Jingdong, Taungchi."
"In the southern battlefield, the empire currently has three armies, 12 divisions, and a total force of more than 350,000, while the total force of the Chinese army against them is more than 260,000.
In terms of military strength, the imperial army of the Southern battlefield had an absolute advantage.
In terms of technical equipment, the Imperial Army includes 12 75mm caliber field artillery regiments, plus two independent field heavy artillery regiments with 150mm caliber, as well as two independent combat vehicles wings, one of which is the Type 97 medium tank wing.
The technical equipment of the Chinese troops on the entire southern battlefield is not significantly weaker than the Imperial Army, and it is indeed a bit tricky because of its defensive advantage.
However, with the powerful Japanese Imperial Navy special fleet and Imperial Air Force in the southern battlefield, it is not difficult to break through the estuary of the Salwin River.
According to current intelligence, under the coordinated combat of the Imperial Navy, the 15th Army has broken through Bilu Island and is consolidating the Bilu Island position. It can soon further attack Maudan City and Maudan Fortress from north to south."
"Yosi."
Umezu Mijiro shook his head and said with a smile: "Kimura, please continue to talk."
