Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Liangmiao River.

Strictly speaking, the Liangmiao River is not a river in the true sense. Its upstream is the Jianbu Mountain Reservoir. Jianbu Mountain is long and narrow, and the mountain is even steeper. The Liangmiao area is located in a low-lying area.Before the last century, when the rainy season came, a large amount of rainwater collected, often causing flash floods, and nearby villages and fields were often swept away by the floods.Until 1886, the British occupied Burma, and Burma became a province of British India. The British began to invest a lot of money in Burma to improve Burma's waterways and railways.

In 1990, a large number of cheap Indian laborers poured into Liangmiao, and built a dam tens of meters high in the Jianbu Canyon. Liangmiao River, before the rainy season, the water in the reservoir will be poured out. The large area of ​​water storage ensures that Liangmiao no longer has to worry about flooding, and in the current dry season, there is also sufficient water to irrigate tens of thousands of people downstream. Acres of fertile land, banana and sugarcane forests.

There are still two months before the rainy season, and it is still far from the time when the gates are opened to release water. The flow of water in the river is only to ensure the irrigation of the downstream crops, so the water area is not wide, only a dozen meters, and it can basically be passed by rolling up the trousers. river.

At this time, the middle section of the cement bridge over the Liangmiao River had been blown up, and there was a gap seven or eight meters wide on the bridge surface, but the solid frame of the bridge was still there.The 93rd Division of the Expeditionary Army built a ten-mile-long line of defense on the south bank, but the bridge was still their main defensive position. The gap of seven or eight meters wide could only prevent Japanese tanks and armored vehicles from crossing the river, but Japanese engineers could completely The gap was filled in a short time, and then the soldiers charged across the Liangmiao Bridge.

The long and narrow sand fortifications have been piled up, and the soldiers of a battalion put out all kinds of weapons in their hands, and they are already ready for battle.

Because the Liangmiao River was rushing and roaring during the flood discharge, the impact force was not small, so the bridge was also built very solidly. The 93-70-meter-wide gap was blown up, and all the explosives of the [-]rd Division were consumed.The transport convoy of the No.[-] Fifth Army had already reached Lewa. Although they tried to send another transport vehicle to rush over, they were all destroyed by Japanese aircraft on the way, and the entire road was still the object of full "care" by Japanese aircraft.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese Mohua Wing finally arrived at the Liangmiao River. A blockade by the independent regiment made them arrive two hours later than the scheduled arrival time. Once reprimanded, Tanaka Shinichi also ordered him to cross the Liangmiao River before evening to open up a pursuit channel for the imperial army.

At this time, the bombardment of more than ten minutes has passed, and the warriors of the imperial army are attacking with all their strength on the bridge. Twenty tanks and armored vehicles have been placed on the river beach, ready to attack at any time.

On a hillside on the north bank of the Liangmiao River, Katagiri Kumaji, the captain of the Japanese Moka Regiment, was watching the battle ahead through the binoculars. In the small valley behind him, a tent had been quietly erected, and about a squadron of Japanese troops was already here. The cordon was pulled up, cars began to come in and out here, and the fuel and ammunition used in the battle began to accumulate here.

The road is too narrow, and the long queue of cars has already been placed several miles away. It is too late to temporarily move strategic materials to the back, so the munitions and material depots are also placed here.

Kumaji Katagiri withdrew his gaze from the binoculars, with a serious expression on his face. The imperial army had organized three attacks on the bridge, but they were all repelled by the expeditionary army. Although there were still a few fighter jets above the expeditionary army to assist the imperial army in attacking But the expeditionary army fought very tenaciously, and it seemed difficult to win the opposite position in a short time.

"Commander, the water in the Liangmiao River is not deep. Our chariots can pass by, and the infantry will follow up with the cover of the chariots, and choose a point to break through. The fortifications built by the army on the south bank are simply not enough." We are vulnerable, but why did we choose to fight against the Zhina army on the bridge? We must know that the narrow bridge deck has brought great difficulties to the imperial army's attack, so isn't it easy to ask for more difficult?" said the vice captain of the Japanese army Zhai Zhongzuo Fujitaka said.

Katagiri Kumaji looked at Saito with an inscrutable smile, then pointed to the jungle on the south bank and said, "Mr. Saito, the aircraft reconnaissance has clearly instructed that the Zhina Army has only one division on the south bank, but their defense line is at least ten miles away." , The No.70 Fifth Army has less than 3 people in total, and the 93rd Division can only spread 1 at most, but they built a ten-mile-long defense line, how can [-] people defend it? And you see, there is a piece of land on the opposite side In the jungle, they seem to be afraid that we will not know that they have built a defense line. All the fresh loess has been shoveled out of the jungle. What does this mean? It means that they expect the imperial army to pass by the river beach. If we cross the river together, it will not be too late for our entire army to be wiped out?"

"Ah, it's so serious, but I can't see where their murderous intentions are?" Saito said respectfully.

"Humph!"

Katagiri Kumaji snorted coldly, pointed to the towering Mount Jianbu in the west and said, "Where is it!"

Saito Kei followed the direction of Katagiri Kumaji's finger and looked at it for a long time, still with a dazed expression on his face.But Kumaji Katagiri seemed to be muttering to himself: "It seems that we can only choose the second battlefield?" Then he seemed to have made a decision, and said fiercely: "Order, immediately order Captain Kojima to run over and report to duty." .”

??

In the jungle on the south bank of the Liangmiao River, the temporary headquarters of the 93rd Division of the Expeditionary Army.

Lieutenant General Lu Guoquan, sweating profusely, was pacing back and forth in the headquarters. The sound of fierce guns and artillery on the Liangmiao Bridge could be heard clearly. He was disabled, and now the second battalion has taken over the position. If the fight continues like this, their division will be wiped out in a few hours, so he looks very anxious at this moment.

Major General Wu Chaowen, Chief of Staff of the 93rd Division also looked anxious at this time, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and asked uneasily: "Master, do you think the Japanese army has seen through our plan, or their tanks are placed by the river It just doesn't make sense, but repeatedly attacks on the bridge deck, doesn't it make sense?

A flash of panic suddenly flashed in Lu Guoquan's eyes, and he said suspiciously: "Is this not possible? The Japanese army has not entered Burma for a long time, and the Japanese army in the Liangmiao area has not hit here yet. They may not be so familiar with the terrain here? And, if Didn’t we find the expatriates here to understand it, and we never thought of using it to retreat the enemy, could it be that the Japanese commander is so cunning that he saw through our intention to lure them at a glance?”
