"Damn! How could they suddenly launch a full-scale attack?!" Kimura cursed in his headquarters, because the attack launched by the National Defense Forces resulted in him being scolded from head to toe by Sugiyama Gen.

After the National Defense Forces attacked Shanluo, they did not directly continue the attack on the Japanese army from Shanluo. Instead, they used the 52nd Division of the Southwest Military Region as the main force and bypassed Shanluo and went straight to Muzhou.

Kimura was so frightened by the beating that he didn't notice it for a while. As a result, the Burmese front army was now unable to advance or retreat. There was a National Defense Force position in front of him and he didn't know how many people were stationed on the position.

Retreat, what should we do if the National Defense Forces launch an attack? At that time, the retreat will turn into a rout. Once there is a problem in the position, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If the 15th Division and Naoji Sakai were still alive, Kimura might consider taking a chance. But now the 15th Division was beaten to the point of being almost disabled, and Naoji Sakai was directly killed on the battlefield.

Kimura really didn't dare to take the risk of letting the remaining soldiers on the battlefield be defeated again.

Now Kimura can only hope that the Japanese army in Muzhou can withstand the attack of the National Defense Forces, and then the large forces will come to join him to attack the National Defense Forces in front of the position.

Fortunately, the two divisions of the Fifteenth Army are not far from here now, and several brigades from the Burma Front are also on their way.

As long as these troops arrive, Kimura will at least have the power to fight.

"Assault!!" From the positions outside Muzhou, bursts of Japanese shouts came. A large number of Japanese troops followed the skirmish line to attack the National Defense Forces.

Almost all the Japanese positions outside Muzhou were destroyed by artillery fire. Only a small number of permanent fortifications can still be used. But for the Japanese army, this was of little use.

In order to ensure that the position would not be seized by the 52nd Division, the commander of the Japanese 28th Army Shozo Sakurai could only force the troops to directly attack the National Defense Forces.

He tried to drag the Wehrmacht into hand-to-hand combat, which the Japanese were good at, thereby offsetting the Wehrmacht's advantage in firepower.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...boom d! d..." This is the heavy artillery unit of the 28th Army of Japan. Although the configuration of the 28th Army is not complete, at least the military headquarters has equipped them with artillery.

This Syrian artillery now played a huge role. Sakurai Shozo now used this Syrian artillery to start bombarding the rear positions of the Southwest Military Region in an attempt to block the National Defense Force's support for the position.

In order to protect these last-reliance heavy firepower, Shozo Sakurai did not allow two rounds of artillery fire. He was only allowed to fire one round, and then the artillery position must be moved immediately.

Sakurai Shozo, who had suffered the loss of the retaliatory artillery fire of the National Defense Forces, knew that if he fired a second round, it would undoubtedly give the National Defense Forces a chance to discover his artillery positions.

The best way is to move the artillery immediately, and then provide fire coverage again when it is most needed. This is also a deterrent. As long as its own artillery is not destroyed, the National Defense Forces will not dare to attack.

Although the Japanese Army Air Force in the sky was fighting desperately with the War Eagles of the National Defense Forces, Shozo Sakurai did not believe that those Army Aviation guys could block the War Eagles of the National Defense Forces.

The Japanese army and the air force of the National Defense Forces fought against each other not once or twice, but which one did they take advantage of? Almost every time, the Japanese army ended up with heavy losses.

Although the cabinet told everyone in the battle report that the battle went smoothly and the National Defense Forces suffered heavy losses. But everyone who participated in the battle knows that it was actually the Japanese army that suffered heavy losses.

Before the new fighter jets came out, the Japanese army had no advantage at all in aerial combat.

"Come on... come on quickly... otherwise Southeast Asia will no longer belong to the empire..." Shozo Sakurai murmured to himself as he looked at the tragically shot down Japanese fighter planes in the sky.

The current situation of the Japanese Army Aviation is not good. The battle some time ago caused them heavy losses, and they have not recovered now. The losses of fighter planes are second, and the most serious loss is the loss of pilots.

Pilots cannot be replenished simply by supplementing them. Although there are more than a dozen aviation schools in Japan that are continuously training pilots, the resources allocated to the two aviation forces are really limited because the navy and army have already snatched away all the resources.

If the National Defense Force had not demonstrated the combat capabilities of its aircraft in air battles, perhaps the current situation of the Army Aviation would have been even more embarrassing. Fortunately, the Navy relied on its fighter planes and bombers to carry out the Battle of Pearl Harbor.

Later, the Japanese Army Aviation also proved its worth with the Southeast Asian campaign, so there was continuous investment of resources.

But even so, these investments are still a drop in the bucket for the Air Force. The Army only allocated resources for mass production of new fighter jets after they were driven out of China by the National Defense Forces.

The training of pilots was not taken seriously before. The result of this behavior is that now the Japanese army aviation units are only supported by the older generation of pilots.

In the battle at Dien Bien Phu some time ago, the biggest casualties were those old pilots.

"Boom boom...boom!!" Another Type 1 fighter was directly blown up by Tiger Shark in the air. Tiger Shark, which had already had the advantage in terms of quantity, firepower and defense, faced these Type 1 fighters and Type 97 fighters.

At that time, these Japanese fighter planes were like living targets.

Unless they are lucky enough to hit the Tiger Shark's fuel tank or the weak part of the armor, otherwise even if they injure the Tiger Shark, they will still be able to evacuate under the cover of their own fighter planes.

The Japanese fighter planes could only curse and watch the National Defense Force war eagles leave like this, but they were helpless. But as long as their fighter planes were hit by tiger sharks, they were basically the result of being blown up in the air.

There is no way, Japan already lacks resources. Therefore, they basically save money when it comes to alloy refining and armor forging. This has created a large number of thin-skinned and large-filled fighter jets for the Japanese army.

Moreover, the machine guns mounted by the Japanese army still use 7.7mm machine guns. This kind of machine gun is difficult to hit the armor of the storage shark. The Japanese fighter planes only have 10mm armor, which is no different from toilet paper in front of the 14.5mm machine gun.

With just a slight touch, these Japanese fighter planes were blown apart.

On the "National Defense Forces! Kill!!" position, the soldiers of the 52nd Army of the Southwest Military Region have already fought with the Japanese army. They just won a great victory in the Dien Bien Phu area and even killed the 15th Division.

The commander of the regiment, Naoji Sakai, boosted the morale of the 52nd Division.

Countless soldiers rushed to the position like a tide and directly overturned the Japanese troops on the position.

The Japanese army could not bear to show weakness. The Japanese army in the rear rushed directly to the position with a large circle of Annan National Army. They tried to take back the position by relying on their numerical advantage.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...boom d! d..." Not only the Japanese army will use artillery fire to support and block, but the National Defense Forces will also do the same.

However, unlike the Japanese army, the National Defense Forces would not just bombard the Japanese army for one round and then move their artillery positions. They would block the Japanese army's rear positions with artillery fire for half an hour before moving.

"Buzz buzz..." As the Japanese Army Air Force in the sky was cleared, the Air Force's bomber units also rushed to the position and began to bomb the Japanese troops on the ground while deploying force support to the ground troops.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the tanks of the National Defense Forces are directly used as the vanguard to break into the position. The heavy machine guns on these tanks are constantly strafing the Japanese troops on the position, and the infantry are also constantly covering the tanks on the ground.

The Japanese army and the Annan National Army carried out massacres.

That’s right! It’s massacre!

This Xiaoshi type B tank is equipped with a 14.5mm caliber heavy machine gun that can be used to deal with aircraft! If hit by a 14.5mm caliber heavy machine gun, even if these Japanese troops have bunkers, they will only be beaten to pieces.

.

This was a massacre. A naked, extremely bloody massacre. The Southwest Military Region and even the 52nd Division were celebrating the news that their commander-in-chief had an heir in this way.

"The best gift to the commander-in-chief is the lives of those gangsters! The mission I give you and the only order I give you is: kill the Japanese!" This is the order given by Lu Han, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Military Region, to the following.

Lu Han continued to say something at that time.

"If you ask me if I have any other orders, I will tell you! Kill the Japanese with all your strength! No mercy, no retreat, kill all these bastards with all your heart, all your strength, and all your heart!!"

Undoubtedly, Lu Han's order was completely implemented. The 52nd Division was the vanguard, with troops from two divisions including the 53rd Division and the 54th Division. Three from the left, center and right

The Japanese army launched a full-scale attack on Muzhou.

The result of the fighting is that so far the Japanese army has brought in at least one regiment of troops. The Annan National Army was frightened to death by this high-intensity and crazy fighting.

In the past, during their battles against France, they were surrounded and suppressed by hundreds or even thousands of troops at most. But how had they ever seen a scene like this, where planes bombed from the sky, tanks on the ground, artillery fire and then heavy machine guns swept through?!

If it weren't for the Japanese army and the Annan National Army's supervising team behind them, many people might have chosen to turn around and flee. Although things are better now, most of the Annan National Army who rushed to the position chose to pretend to be dead directly on the position.

Before the bullets could hit themselves, they immediately lay down and threw their guns far away from them. They were afraid that the National Defense Forces would clean up the battlefield.

"Hehe... That's interesting! Tell the brothers, we are still short of manpower to build roads in Yunnan! Don't kill all these people. As long as there are no swords and guns in hand, let them go. They will be captured in a while.

Send him back to the province."

Long Shengzu was wearing a bunch of bandages all over his body, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that these guys are building roads for us, what a good labor! Don't waste it..."

When Long Shengzu said this, the chief of staff beside him suddenly felt that it was very reasonable. Although Yunnan has built some railways and highways, the transportation from the Central Plains is still far behind.

How can we make money if this road is blocked?! But building roads requires manpower, especially many sections of roads that are almost built around mountains. Now most men in Yunnan have joined the army, and those who have not joined the army basically have something to do.

.

Where can we find the manpower to build roads? For this matter, the provincial governor Long Yun almost turned his hair gray with worry. He sent several reports to the imperial capital, but when he didn't get a reply, he even made a trip himself.

After all the hard talk, more than 2,000 Southeast Asian prisoners of war were snatched from Yang Zengxin. But such a small number of people was nothing compared to the road to be built!

Ever since Long Yun came back from studying in the imperial capital, he had been ambitious to start a career in Yunnan. When he went to visit and study in the three northeastern provinces, he saw that almost every village in the three northeastern provinces had roads. Old Long was so envious.

After coming back, he put this matter on the agenda. But Lao Long also knew that Yunnan's foundation was weak, so the first thing he asked for was to build more roads and railways from Yunnan to the outside world.

At the same time, a large number of Pu'er teas, which have gained a certain reputation in the three northeastern provinces and even abroad, are planted in large quantities. The provincial government is responsible for purchasing at a guaranteed price and making unified production for external sales.

That's not all, Lao Long also tried every means to tease Linsen, making him reluctantly agree to get rubber seeds to Yunnan through connections, and cultivate and plant them in Yunnan.

Yunnan has a subtropical climate, which is just right for growing rubber native to Southeast Asia. Lao Long's idea is very simple. This battle will definitely take more than one or two years, and his own rubber can be harvested in four years to catch up.

Besides, the Soviets couldn't produce their own rubber. They had to buy it from themselves. And the Germans, the British...etc., this made a lot of money.

It's better now. If the Americans and Europeans lose Southeast Asia, they will lose their source of rubber. You can definitely sell your rubber at a good price to them!

Nearly three years have passed since the war started in 1937. Lao Long saw that his rubber was about to be cut, and he felt both happy and sad!

I am happy that my hard work is about to bear fruit. The price of these rubbers will definitely not be low. I have already let Chairman Lin Sen reveal it. When the time comes, I will give priority to meeting the needs of the National Defense Forces and sell the remaining parts to the Soviet Union and the United States.

.

By then, he would have a lot of money. But what he was worried about was that the roads in Yunnan were really difficult to travel. This greatly restricted his transportation, and the bargaining increased the transportation cost.

Old Long is so worried! As his son, Long Shengzu naturally knows his father's troubles. Seeing the Annan National Army Xiao Long pretending to be dead all over the mountains and fields, Xiao Long feels happy. What a good coolie! There are all over the mountains and fields!

"Don't kill them! Don't maim them either. We still expect them to build roads for us in Yunnan!" Long Shengzu thought of this and quickly picked up the phone to call the frontline commanders.

"We soldiers probably grow a lot of rubber and tea at home, right?! If there is no road, it will be bad luck to transport it! Now God has given us so many coolies, don't kill them all on my whim!

Otherwise I will drive you all to build roads!"

No one knows the virtues of his gang of brats better than Long Shengzu. These are all bad habits brought from the old troops of the National Defense Force. That means that his men basically have no chance of survival.

After a battle, there is never such a thing as a prisoner. Slightly injured?! As long as these brats pass by, they will be killed directly.

And he died absolutely properly and could not die again. All the gadgets on his body were also plundered. This was all learned from the commander-in-chief back then. At that time, the Fourth Battalion was poor. My eyes would shine when I saw anything.

I wish I could take the beard from my own hands.

Especially after those bastards from Ertoushan joined the New First Army. This situation became even more obvious. During the Battle of Harbin against the Soviets, if the superiors hadn't stopped them, they would have stripped off all their cotton-padded jackets.
