Lost and Spy

Chapter 1956 Use me in the first battle
"Fire!"

On February 1942, 2, at dawn.

Following the order of Ding Wenrui, commander of the advance battalion of the 2nd Division of the Fifth Army of the National Army, the first shot of the Chinese Expeditionary Force into Myanmar was fired at the Pew River Bridge!
The 82 mortars were the first to roar!
Shells roared and fell into the Japanese army.

Light and heavy machine guns fired simultaneously.

The armored vehicles of the Cavalry Regiment also entered the battlefield immediately.

Sansheng is lucky!

Meng Shaoyuan was glad that he witnessed and participated in this moment.

After the end of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, he finally saw the scene of the Chinese artillery, armored soldiers, and infantry fighting together again!
Although it is only an 82 mortar, although it is only a "Renault" light armored vehicle, the Chinese army has taken the most solid step on the road to full mechanization!
All the way to show off their might, the Japanese army who chased after the British army like ducks did not expect to be hit so violently!

This Japanese infantry brigade was extremely arrogant, chasing the British army desperately, thinking that they would gain military exploits, and they had long been out of touch with the large troops.

This is a pure infantry brigade, with no air cover, no artillery support, and no tank coordination.

The commander of the Japanese army, Itano Zhongzuo, didn't care at all.

In his opinion, a division of the British army could be defeated with a few machine guns.

He was right.Judging from the performance of the British army on the Burmese battlefield, this is indeed the case.

The problem is, at the Pew River Bridge his opponent switched.

You are here, he is facing the elite 200th Division of the National Army!
A troop as arrogant as he is.

Who is more arrogant than whom?
All kinds of firepower spewed out from the position knocked the Japanese soldiers on their backs.

The roaring shells and the domineering chariots completely plunged the Japanese formation into chaos at the very first moment!

Go to the first battle of the country!
It is necessary to show military prestige and national prestige!
The sound of guns woke up Tonggu who was 12 kilometers away.

They knew that the expeditionary force had exchanged fire with the vanguard of the Japanese army.

As the commander of the First Division of the British Burmese Army protecting Tonggu, the respected General Scott immediately sent a telegram to his immediate superior, Commander Hutton:

"The Japanese army is aggressively attacking Tonggu, and Tonggu can't hold on, please retreat!"

Behold, this is the gentleman of the British Empire, this is the commander of the empire on which the sun never sets!

In Tonggu, he had the strength of a division with excellent equipment, but the sound of guns from 12 kilometers away had frightened him out of his wits.

Before he saw what the Japanese army looked like, he had already decided to run away.

Fortunately, Hutton was not so dazed.

The Japanese army is desperately besieging Yangon. In Tonggu, how can there be any main force of the Japanese army?
Commander Hutton rejected General Scott's request and asked him not to evacuate Tonggu without an order!
While cursing his commander, His Excellency, for not caring about the noble lives of the gentlemen of the British Empire, General Scott had to watch nervously the development of the battle on the Pew River Bridge.

However, the intelligence from the front line made him feel a little unbelievable.

The Chinese army beat the Japanese army upside down and suffered heavy casualties.

How can it be?

General Scott wondered if the intelligence was wrong?
That's the Chinese army!

How could the Chinese army defeat the Japanese army?
Not even the army of the Holy British Empire could do it!
However, the Japanese army is really being defeated!
But how many years later, Meng Shaoyuan can proudly tell his descendants:
I personally participated in the first battle of the expeditionary force going abroad!
He participated in this battle, and like an ordinary soldier, he used a submachine gun to shoot every enemy he could see!

He saw those arrogant Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one after another like cutting straw under the firepower of the even more arrogant expeditionary soldiers.

Like all the soldiers of the advance battalion, he rushed out of the position shouting, and launched a fearless charge to the Japanese army under the cover of armored vehicles!

Forward, expeditionary soldiers!
The advance battalion of the 200th division!

Use me in the first battle, use me to win!
The Banye Infantry Brigade was completely stunned.

Under such a fierce attack, the Japanese infantry brigade began to show signs of defeat.

Itano Lieutenant Zuo still wanted to make another effort, but his infantry brigade advanced too fast, not only far out of touch with the main force, but also all the materials and equipment could not keep up.

Coupled with the days of fighting and chasing, the soldiers began to tire and urgently needed to rest. Therefore, in terms of fighting will, they were not as tenacious as before.

Itano Zhongzuo has lost the possibility of continuing to fight.

The battle at the Pew River Bridge lasted three hours.

Three hours later, the sun rose!
Meng Shaoyuan's leather boots had already stepped on the corpse of a Japanese soldier!

Most of the expeditionary soldiers were made of straw sandals, so they were called "straw sandal soldiers" by the British.

However, Young Master Meng loves beauty, so he asked Li Zhifeng to find a pair of big leather boots for him.

Li Zhifeng also grumbled reluctantly: "Wearing leather boots, can you run fast?"

Young master Meng doesn't care, as long as he is magical and majestic, what do he care about so much?
He took off his military cap, and stroked his shiny hair, which was neatly treated with pomade:
"Send a report to Commander Dai that the advance battalion of the 200th Division of our expeditionary force met the enemy at the Pew River Bridge in Tonggu, Myanmar on February 31, [-]. All the soldiers of our battalion worked together and sacrificed their lives. Die, repel the Japanese infantry brigade one, and annihilate the Japanese infantry squad one. Use me in the first battle, use me to win!
This telegram is attached to the 2th Regiment of the [-]nd Division of the [-]th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Meng Shaoyuan! "

"Tsk tsk, our Chief Meng, look at that hair, it doesn't look like a soldier, it looks like Xiao Kai from Shanghai." Ding Wenrui sighed repeatedly, and suddenly, he found something wrong: "No, this hair is not right. Should I send the telegram to Officer Dai?"

"Brother, you don't know our officer well." Li Zhifeng patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "From now on, you will spend more time in contact with him, and you will have a 'good life'."

Li Zhifeng was quite satisfied.

Finally, I got on with Little Japan again.

Moreover, this battle was fought heartily!

He killed four devils with his own hands.

Comfortable!

And that's just the beginning.

Judging by the current situation, the chief will not be able to leave for a while.

Now that you are in Myanmar, are you afraid that there will be no battles to fight?
However, if you want to say that the chief is educated.

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"

This slogan is loud!

But Li Zhifeng didn't know that Young Master Meng was also a master of plagiarism, how could he have invented this resounding slogan?

However, the words "Use me in the first battle, use me to win" were also the first to be heard in the advance battalion.

When the news of the victory of the Pew River Bridge reached the ears of General Scott, the commander of the British Empire did not seem to be able to fully believe it.

This group of straw sandal soldiers really defeated the mighty Japanese army?

Are these soldiers who came from afar really capable of fighting?

We have won the first battle of the expedition!
