    Yangon, Myanmar Theater Commander's Department.

    Zhong Yi went to the kitchen for a late-night snack. When he returned to the war room, he found that the atmosphere inside was a little unusual.

    "What's wrong?" Zhong Yi asked, "Brother Shou Qing, is it that the 22nd Army's attack is not going well?"

    "The commander-in-chief guessed it right." Wang Geng said with a wry smile, "The 122nd Division of the 22nd Army attacked twice. The two main groups that went into the attack were all disabled, but they couldn't even defeat the Japanese army's first line of defense.  breakthrough."

    "The main reason is that the Japs on the west bank of the Xidang River reacted too quickly. The battle on the east bank of the Xidang River had just started. The Japs on the West Bank immediately judged the situation and gave up directly responding to the Japs on the east bank, shrinking their defenses on the spot!"

    "Then the coordination work of the 23rd Group Army was not done well, and the artillery brigade arrived half an hour later than originally scheduled. This gave the Japanese army more time to prepare! In addition, the Japanese on the west bank of the Xidang River repaired the stronghold overnight.  The fortifications eventually led to the 122nd Division¡¯s attack being in vain.¡±

    "That's it." Zhong Yi's brows suddenly furrowed. This situation was a bit unexpected.

    But then again, accidents are actually normal. If everything can develop according to the vision of the theater commander, then it is not a war, but an exercise!

    After walking back and forth for a few steps, Zhong Yi suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Shouqing, I remember the 146th Division reported that they captured six or seven landing craft, right?"

    "Yes, six gunboats." Wang Geng nodded and said, "There are also more than thirty fishing boats."

    Wang Geng thought he had guessed what Zhong Yi was thinking. He shook his head and said: "With this little transportation capacity, we can barely transport one battalion of troops to the west bank at a time. I'm afraid it will have little impact on the war situation."

    "That's not necessarily the case." Zhong Yi said, "What if the chariot brigade is sent there?"

    "What, send the chariot brigade over?" Wang Geng's expression suddenly changed after hearing this, "This is too dangerous."

    Speaking of this meal, Wang Geng said again: "The Vickers light tanks of the Tank Brigade have already traveled fifty kilometers and fought a battle with the main force of the Japanese 1st Guards Division on the east bank of the Sidang River. The consumption was very high.  , the remaining fuel and artillery shells may not be able to support the next battle."

    "Then take the time to replenish it." Zhong Yi said with a big wave of his hand.

    The armored forces have special supply vehicles for replenishment at any time.

    But Wang Geng insisted on persuading: "At the headquarter, we can replenish oil and ammunition, but there is no way to replenish time. There is only more than an hour left before dawn. Although the Sidang River is not as wide as the Salween River, it will take at least half a day to cross the river.  It will take more than an hour, and then it will take at least an hour to enter the battle. Even if everything goes well, it will be dawn by then!"

    ¡°As soon as it gets light, the Japanese Air Force¡¯s bomber groups will immediately swarm in. At that time, the armored brigade will become a target for Japanese bombers to practice bombing!¡±

    "Then we must cross the river." Zhong Yi said without doubt, "The Japanese troops on the west bank of the Xidang River must be annihilated!"

    The truth is obvious. If the Japanese army on the west bank of the Xidang River is not annihilated, the Japanese army will establish a stable advance base on the west bank of the Xidang River. By then, the Japanese army will be able to continuously cross the river from Guse.

    As a result, the Xidanghe defense line that Zhong Yi worked so hard to manage was effectively bankrupt.

    Once the Sitang River defense line is destroyed, there will be no danger of defending Yangon.

    If this is the case, even keeping Hu Xianqun¡¯s 1st Armored Brigade will be useless.

    At that moment, Zhong Yi said again: "Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the 1st Armored Brigade immediately!"

    "Yes!" Wang Geng's expression condensed and he could only obey.

    ¡­¡­

    On the east bank of the Xidang River, on the edge of the position of the Japanese 1st Guards Division.

    Hu Xianqun¡¯s No. 1 car has been waiting here for half a quarter of an hour, and more and more tanks came to gather after hearing the news.

    Under night cover, more than a hundred Vickers light tanks gathered behind Hu Xianqun's No. 1 vehicle. Their entire brigade only had more than 120 tanks, so they should have basically arrived.

    "We won't wait for them." Hu Xianqun waved his hand and said, "Leave a supply truck here to guide the tanks. Let them catch up with the tanks that are late and gather again in the designated area."

    The chief of staff nodded and was about to let the messenger go to deliver the order when he suddenly saw a messenger hurried over.

    "Brigade seat!" The signal soldier hurried to Hu Xianqun, stood at attention and saluted and said, "Sir, the department has an urgent message!"

    Hu Xianqun waved his hand impatiently and said loudly: "Read it."

    The Signal Corps opened the folder and said: "The 1st Armored Brigade, I hereby order your brigade to immediately cross the Sidang River from the ferry to the west to support the 23rd Group Army."?Annihilate the enemies on the west bank of the Xidang River.  "

    "Huh?" the chief of staff said in surprise, "Didn't he tell us to go to Kyaukki and wait for orders?"

    "Why do you care so much?" Hu Xianqun said with a wave of his hand, "Give me the order and the whole brigade will turn around and go to the dock immediately! Then send the signal corps to the dock in advance to contact them and let the people of the 146th Division prepare the boats."

    "Yes!" the ordering soldier responded loudly.

    ¡­¡­

    At this time, on the west bank of the Xidang River, the National Army Artillery Brigade was in position.

    Trucks came one after another along the road, and the backs of these trucks were all dragging cannons, all of which were 75mm caliber Bofors guns.

    In the wilderness on both sides of the road, more than a dozen mountain cannons have been set up.

    A dozen mountain cannons were like a dozen spears, piercing straight into the night sky.

    Zhang Yongsheng, with a dozen artillerymen, was struggling to shake the hinge wheel and raise the shooting angle.

    Zhang Yongsheng, the mountain artilleryman who followed Zhong Yi in the Jinshan artillery drill to the only remaining Mount Bofus artillery gun, is now the deputy brigade commander of the 1st Independent Artillery Brigade in the Allied Burma Theater.

    He is said to be the deputy brigade commander, but he actually does the job of a brigade commander.

    Because Zhong Yi, who is also the brigade commander, will not interfere with the affairs of the artillery brigade at all.

    "Hurry up, hurry up! What about you, you are dragging your feet, are you shitting?"

    "Mom, what's wrong with donkey hair stuffed in your ears? My throat is broken, why can't you hear me?"

    "How many times have I told you, don't pile up cannonballs nearby, looking for death, right? If you want to die, go find a crooked-necked willow tree nearby and hang yourself, don't hurt anyone else!"

    "Disguise, pull up the disguise!"

    Amidst the chaos, more and more units have completed their deployment.

    "Reporting to the brigade, the preparations for the No. 21 gun have been completed, please give instructions!"

    "Reporting to the brigade, preparations for No. 43 gun have been completed, please give instructions!"

    "Reporting to the brigade, preparations for No. 17 gun have been completed, please give instructions!"

    "Stand by, stand by, all stand by!" Zhang Yongsheng continued to roar while patrolling the position, "Waiting for my next order!"

    At this time, an artillery staff officer ran over panting.

    "Brigade!" The artillery staff handed over a folder, "This is shooting Zhu Yuan!"

    "What a shame, we're finally here." Zhang Yongsheng shouted, "Listen to me, the shooting elements are confirmed, the shooting range is one and a half degrees east by northeast, the range is 7.5 kilometers, the shooting angle is 38 degrees, the wind direction  " (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
