In Yangon, the head of the Myanmar War Zone.

Wang Geng hurried in and said to Zhong Yi: "Chief, Wang Lingji just sent another telegram, strongly demanding the support of artillery, even a battalion."

Zhong Yi said: "This is absolutely impossible."

Without air supremacy, letting artillery rashly join the war is simply suicide!

Not to mention an artillery battalion, even if an artillery division was transferred over, it was blown up by the dive bomber of the Japanese Air Force. Zhong Yi would not do this kind of losing money.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

Artillery soldiers in the Myanmar War Theater will not be able to participate in the war until the critical moment.

Just like Hu Xianqun's 1st Armored Brigade, he will not move when he is in a hurry.

Wang Geng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Lingguan is cursing again."

"Then he is also scolding you." Zhong Yi smiled and said sly, "It's not me."

Wang Geng uh, pointed at Zhong Yi and said, "Master, you are not very interested. I am the blame for you, but you are gloating about my experience."

After saying that, Wang Geng sighed and said, "However, the 30th Army did fight very hard on the Antique Line. Yang Sen's 27th Army was still a private building in Xi, and could fight street battles with the Japanese. However, the Antique Line where the 30th Army was located was uncovered. Not only would it be bombarded by Japanese artillery, but it also had to be bombarded by Japanese air force. Sometimes the Japanese would even be crazy about indiscriminate artillery bombardment, so the troops suffered great casualties."

"In just one day, Gao Fengqi's new 13th Division was basically crippled."

Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "This situation was long before we expected."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi continued: "Tele to Guan Wang Ling, the 30th Army must hold on for five days in the Guse section of Xidang River no matter what!"

...

In Daiwu Town, the 30th Army Command.

"Damn it!" Wang Lingji started cursing after receiving the telegram, "Wang Geng, this turtle, is going to use my troops to death,"

"Still for five days?"

"A division is lost in one day, what are left after five days?"

"In five days, the 30th Army will cancel the number!"

"When the war is over, I have to find an opportunity to kill this grandson."

However, no matter how much you complain, the orders of the Chief Office must be implemented.

So Wang Lingji said to Chief of Staff Xia Shouxun again: "Let the New 13th Division be removed and rested, replace the New 16th Division, tell the New 16th Division commander Xia Chengwu, and let him hold on for two days no matter what!"

Xia Shouxun's face immediately showed a look of flesh and a soft cry was muttering: "Chief, can you change to a new 13th Master?"

The new 16th Division is the direct line of Xia Shouxun and the army that started. The new division commander Xia Chengwu is Xia Shouxun's nephew. If there is any good or bad, it would be difficult for the Japanese soldiers to explain to their elder brother when they return to their hometown.

Wang Lingji glared at him and said, "Wang Geng used my entire army as cannon fodder. What did I say? Now I will let your new 16th Division take over, so you can tell me this?"

"No, that's not what I mean." Xia Shouxun said hurriedly.

"Then execute the order!" Wang Lingji said angrily.

"Yes." Xia Shouxun agreed and left disappointed.

...

Five days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past five days, four divisions of the 30th Army took turns.

Today, the four divisions have basically been destroyed, so today, Wang Lingji really has no choice but to combine the New 13th Division and the New 16th Division, otherwise there would be insufficient troops.

After the Japanese artillery bombardment, Xia Chengwu, the commander of the new 16th Division, came out of the anti-aircraft artillery hole.

As soon as I entered the command post, I saw Gao Fengqi, the commander of the New 13th Division, walked in from another exit.

The two of them greeted each other, and Xia Chengwu took the initiative to say, "Brother Fengqi, after the Japanese soldiers arrive ashore later, I will lead the suicide squad to counterattack, and you will be in charge of the command post."

"What do you mean?" Gao Fengqi said, "You stay in charge, I will fight back."

Xia Chengwudao: "Brother Fengqi, I am not as good as you in terms of military command, but if you are talking about tactic fighting skills, you are far inferior to me, so don't compete with me for this commando captain."

"Brave all the time." Gao Fengqi said, "I don't know who lost the last training session?"

"That was just an accident." Xia Chengwu said with a red face, "I had diarrhea that time."

"Losing means losing, don't make excuses for yourself." Gao Fengqi said, "So, you take charge."

While there was a dispute, a trumpet suddenly sounded on the beach ahead, and the warning whistle fired a gun to warn.

"Teacher, the Japanese are coming!" Xia Chengwu and Gao Fengqi's guards rushed into the command post almost at the same time, roaring hysterically.

"Lying down!" Gao Fengqi took advantage of Xia Chengwu's unpreparedness and put his legs down, and then rushed out to seize the road.

But just as Gao Fengqi was about to rush out of the command post, a communication soldier suddenly came out and hurried in and said loudly: "Secretary, the chief's headquarters urgently sends a telegram! Order us to retreat!"

"What, retreat?" Gao Fengqi stopped.

Xia Chengwu got up from the ground, and looked confused.

Didn’t you say that you could hold on for five days? The five days have not arrived yet, so why did you let them retreat?

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Gao Fengqi frowned and asked, "Are you mistaken?"

"No." The communications soldier replied with great affirmation, "The chief commander ordered us to retreat and retreat to the preset second line of defense to stick to it."

Now it's finally confirmed.

Gao Fengqi and Xia Chengwu looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Tell me the order, withdraw!"

The orders of Gao Fengqi and Xia Chengwu were quickly conveyed, and the remnants of the New 13th Division and the New 16th Division quickly withdrew from the defensive positions on the west bank of the antique section of the Xidang River.

...

On the Xidang River, the Japanese army was crossing the river.

This time, the main attack was the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment.

Since the division commander Sasaki Qinglv issued a death order, he could only give the emperor a cut and thank the emperor if he failed. Therefore, the captain of the 1st Guards Regiment, Kiyoji Miyagawa, also took the initiative and led the team himself.

Since the artillery and air force bombing had just ended, the defensive positions of the National Army on the West Bank were still shrouded in the thick smoke, so it was impossible to see clearly what was happening inside.

The battlefield suddenly became silent, with only the extended artillery group of artillery bombardment coming from a distance.

Kiyoji Miyagawa felt inexplicably panic. As a veteran, he knew better than anyone else. After silence, it was often a more violent blow, so soldiers hated silence.

Time passes quietly in a suffocating waiting.

The ferry was getting closer and closer to the west coast, but the national military positions on the west coast were still silent.

The smoke of gunpowder shrouded on the national military position slowly dispersed. What surprised Miyagawa Kiyoji was that he did not see a single Chinese soldier! The entire position seemed to be suddenly empty, and there was no Chinese soldier!
