Chapter 884: Being Despised (Chapter 2 Today)
Regarding Liu Feiyang's careless behavior, the division commander Dai Anlan also scolded him and sent him back to his position to continue digging and building fortifications.
Then, the rest can only be done by the division commander Dai Anlan.
Donggu is a small city on the plains of southern Myanmar, also translated as Taungoo or Donggua, with a population of 110,000. Donggu is 260 kilometers away from Yangon and is at the center of highways, railways and waterways. There is also a Yongkegang military airport in the north of the city, which has a strategic position
Very important.
The famous war with the ancients kicked off here.
So after being scolded by Teacher Dai Anlan for a round,
Liu Feiyang was actually dispatched by the other party to defend this crucial airport.
Since the British Air Force Base in Magway has been bombed and destroyed by a large number of Japanese aviation forces, and occupied it,
So the remaining airport is also one of the most important airports.
And in order to defend the British homeland, fight against the menacing German air raids and bombings, and possible landing operations,
Therefore, all British pilots were dispatched as much as possible back to the homeland to fight.
So there were almost zero British pilots left.
As for the planes, they were gone. They had either been blown up by the Japanese fleet, or they had just been sent back to China along with their pilots to fight for the country.
Therefore, the Yongkegang military airport currently being defended by Liu Feiyang does not have a single fighter jet or bomber except for a few remaining transport aircraft used for transportation.
Regarding this, He Feiyang was also very speechless.
He didn't understand why he was defending an empty airport?
However, in addition to asking him and his troops to defend the airport, he was also asked to dispatch a force as a reconnaissance force to detect the situation outside and see if any Japanese forward troops were coming. I don't know.
So all of a sudden, Liu Feiyang's command received two combat missions.
It is also because of this that Liu Feiyang has become very busy. He needs to come to the city and outside the city to command operations. He feels that this may be a small punishment given to him by the division commander Dai Anlan.
Let him not do things carelessly in the future.
Therefore, in order to avoid the trouble of supervising operations, Liu Feiyang also used field telephones to communicate with his troops.
But just after Liu Feiyang accepted these two tasks,
The Japanese Fifth Combat Flying Unit, attached to the Fifteenth Army, dispatched more than a hundred fighter jets and eighty bombers to attack Tonggu.
These Japanese planes took turns bombing the British Air Force Base in Magway.
Regarding the large-scale attack by the Japanese aircraft group, since the 200th Division did not have radar as a reconnaissance instrument, it had no idea that the Japanese aircraft group would attack so soon.
We don't know how many Japanese planes will come and when they will carry out sneak attacks.
Not even Liu Feiyang himself knew,
However, he also deployed some anti-aircraft machine guns inside the airport to allow his troops to provide air defense. But for the most air defense, he asked his troops to dig more anti-aircraft holes and cat-ear holes.
Anyway, there are no planes at the airport. Even if it is bombed by Japanese planes, there will not be any big losses.
But once your troops are bombed by Japanese aircraft and have no place to hide, they will really suffer a lot of casualties.
Therefore, Liu Feiyang not only needs to defend the airport as air defense preparations, but also needs to be prepared to survive at any time.
Then, the reconnaissance troops led by themselves outside must also be prepared for air defense at any time and at any time.
Because Liu Feiyang's intuition told him that the Japanese aircraft group would definitely come for an air raid, but he didn't know when.
If he was conducting reconnaissance at a radar station, he wouldn't have this trouble, but it's a pity that he doesn't have it now!
However, just when He Feiyang took his reconnaissance force and dispatched a full regiment of troops out of the city to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance,
It can be said to be one of the largest reconnaissance forces.
As for the troops defending the airport, they were only a battalion in strength. Most of the remaining officers and soldiers continued to dig air-raid shelters, cat-ear holes, and fortifications in preparation for the battle.
Just when Liu Feiyang led his troops out of the city for reconnaissance,
The Japanese reconnaissance force and brigade-level search force are also on their way.
But at this time, these devils were resting,
Their commander, Captain Sangtian, was also having an emergency combat meeting with several Japanese officers under his command.
"The place we are about to attack now is Tonggu, not far from here!"
"It's not very far from the location of our 55th Division Group, only about a few dozen kilometers. According to our intelligence agents deployed in the city, the intelligence sent back shows that the 200th Division of the China Army has entered the city to pick up the enemy.
We have guarded against the defenses of those British troops who are greedy for life and are afraid of death, and we are also building some fortifications!"
"I heard that the weapons and equipment of this Chinese army are quite good, and they still defeated the elite troops of a brigade of the 5th Division, so we still need to carefully reconnoiter the situation here so that our
The large force can smoothly capture this place and defeat or annihilate this elite ace China Army!"
"At that time, all the women in the city, including those beautiful Chinese and overseas Chinese women you have already enjoyed, can enjoy it again! This time, maybe we can catch more for you.
, at least there will be no shortage of these women to comfort the troops in the concentration camps we establish in the future!"
"But the premise is that our imperial army must obtain the most accurate intelligence, and be able to capture Xia Tonggu here, and defeat the 200th Division, the ace force of the China Army!"
The commander, Captain Sangtian, kept lecturing his Japanese officers.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
.......
........
All the Japanese officers were very obedient and kept saying loudly,
At the same time, they are also very passionate about their inner desires, hoping to capture Tonggu as soon as possible and obtain everything they want, including gold, silver, treasures, women, and many other things they want.
In fact, ever since the 55th Division entered Myanmar, their offensives have been overwhelming. Just like they were invincible on every front fighting south and in the early domestic wars of the National Army,
First, they captured a large number of British troops in the Mawlamyine area, and seized a large number of weapons and equipment, as well as countless military supplies. Then they occupied Yangon without any blood.
The British army's most elite armored troops and elite infantry troops were frightened and fled. Now it is very tragic that they are besieged by the 33rd Division on the side of the oil field, and they are in urgent need of rescue by the national army.
In short, since the war began, the Japanese army has been unbeatable. The British troops have basically fled or fled. Even the Burmese armed groups that the British army painstakingly trained were assisted by the Japanese army's false propaganda.
independence, and fully fell to the Japanese army,
Not only did he lead the way, he also assisted the Japanese army in destroying the main transportation routes between the British army and the expeditionary force, and conducted various harassment warfare.
It was also because of these things that the Japanese search brigade led by the commander, Captain Kuwata, was able to carry out reconnaissance and search for anything they like unimpeded after setting off from Yangon.
,
It was like they were in a no-man's land, and their arrogance became unprecedented!
As for your views on the 200th Division,
The commander, Captain Sangtian, and the Japs officers under him, who had grown self-confident, were completely ignored.
Even though they knew that the 200th Division was a mechanized force with well-equipped weapons and equipment, they still did not take it seriously. They felt that the national army was not their opponent at all, otherwise they would not have
The Japanese army occupied most of the country and lost the capital and Songhu, as well as large areas of the country.
Even military supplies, weapons and ammunition require foreign aid from foreigners.
He even started an internal conflict with his own people,
Therefore, the commander, Captain Sangtian, and his Japanese officers were not afraid of the 200th Division at all. They even wanted to start a war with the 200th Division right away, annihilate all the 200th Division, occupy Tonggu earlier, and then burn it.
