    The headquarters of the 30th Group Army is located in Dai U on the west bank of the Sidhang River, which is also a midpoint station on the railway line from Yangon to Mandalay in northern Myanmar.

    As soon as he returned to the headquarters, Wang Lingji convened a meeting with the four division commanders Gao Fengqi, Xia Chengwu, Ding Xiyao, and Lu Yukun, and the four deputy division commanders Yan Jueshi, Liu Yimin, Yang Youquan, and Li Ruqian.

    Wang Lingji is a headstrong man and has always been arrogant in his attitude, especially towards his subordinates.

    "You bastard, I don't care what wish that bastard Wang Geng made for you, whether it's food, salary, or staffing, after all, you have to understand one basic fact." Wang Lingji patted his chest and shouted, "I'm the one who  The commander-in-chief of the 30th Group Army is your immediate boss!"

    "Don't be wishful thinking."

    "If you are honest and obedient, then everything will be easy to talk about."

    "If you dare to hook up with others behind my back, I will remove you from your post!"

    "No, dismissal is not enough, I will definitely send you to a military court!"

    After more than ten minutes of intimidation, Wang Lingji sent Gao Fengqi and the others away.

    After exiting the gate of the headquarters, the eight division commanders and deputy division commanders got in their cars and returned to their respective division headquarters.

    As soon as Gao Fengqi, commander of the new 13th Division, got on the jeep, he asked his deputy commander Yan Jueshi: "Brother Jueshi, what do you think of this dispute over command authority?"

    Yan Jueshi said carefully: "Logically speaking, it is not appropriate for the theater commander's headquarters to bypass the group army headquarters and directly command our divisions."

    "But then again, Chief of Staff Wang made such a decision out of helplessness."

    "Wang Lingji, an old guy, has no ability. It would be really difficult for him to take command of this battle."

    "Leave it to the command of the senior officer's department. At least there is a chance. I have no doubts about Commander Zhong's ability."

    Gao Fengqi listened and nodded and said: "Brother Jueshi, you and I have come together. In short, no matter how Wang Lingji finds trouble afterwards, even if he really removes the two of us, we must strictly enforce the Guse Defense Line.  Otherwise, it would be impossible to hold the Xidang River."

    While the two were talking, there was a sudden bang outside the car.

    A cannonball landed not far from the jeep, and the air wave generated by the explosion hit fiercely, almost overturning the jeep the two people were riding in.

    So the driver, an old car soldier, tried his best to control it.

    After opening the door and getting out of the car, Gao Fengqi and Yan Jueshi saw at once that the beach position of their new 13th Division on the west bank of the Xidang River had been blown into a sea of ??flames by the Japanese artillery group!

    "Damn it, the little devils are starting to attack!"

    "What the hell, the kid's artillery group insists on getting it."

    Looking at the New 13th Division¡¯s position in front of them, which was already engulfed in a sea of ??fire, Gao Fengqi and Yan Jueshi were worried and envious at the same time. There were only two guards jumping down from the truck following them, and they couldn¡¯t help but pull them to hide.

    ¡­¡­

    At this moment, Sasaki Kiyoshi, the division commander of the 1st Guards Division, also came to the Japanese army¡¯s forward observation post to observe the effects of the shelling through binoculars.

    In this bombardment, the 1st Guards Division concentrated hundreds of cannons, large and small!

    Even though they were seven or eight kilometers away, and even though there was a Xidang River in the middle, Sasaki Kiyoshi could clearly feel the vibration of the ground beneath his feet.

    This shows the destructive power of shelling!

    "Yoshi!" Sasaki Kiyoshi nodded with satisfaction.

    Yamada Seiichi, Chief of Staff of the 1st Guards Division, also said: "Division Commander, the simple defenses built by the China Army on the other side of the bank simply cannot withstand such intensity of shelling."

    "If nothing happens, the Chinese Army's defenses will be plowed all over!"

    "There are also casualties from the Chinese Army, which will not be small. They will definitely be heavy!"

    "Yes." Sasaki Kiyoshi snorted lightly, and then said, "But even so, we should not be careless. From the battles in Sidang City, Pabon and Dakun, we can see that the Chinese army in this expedition to Burma  , it can be said that it is full of resilience and more tenacious than any Chinese army we have encountered before!"

    "That's for sure." Yamada Seiichi once said, "The Imperial Army will never underestimate any opponent."

    Ten minutes passed while the two were talking, and the Japanese artillery fire began to extend farther away.

    More than fifty fishing boats and gunboats that had been waiting on the east bank of the Xidang River for a long time immediately rushed to the west bank of the Xidang River.More than a hundred fishing boats and gunboats were filled with Japanese infantry.

    ¡­¡­

    Guo Yuan is a rocketeer in the 1st Battalion, 1st Company, 1st Platoon of the New 1st Regiment of the New 13th Division.

    During the Japanese artillery bombardment, Guo Yuan and his two ammunition handlers hid in a strong anti-artillery cave. This anti-artillery cave was dug on the back of a hill and was very safe.

    Therefore, other positions were plowed over and over again by Japanese artillery fire.

    "But Guo Yuan's group, hiding in the artillery cave on the back of the mountain, was unscathed.

    Like Guo Yuan¡¯s group, there were several other groups that were unscathed.

    Gao Fengqi, commander of the New 13th Division, knew very well that the use of rocket launchers was crucial to preventing the Japanese army from crossing the river!

    Their new 13th Division and even the entire 30th Group Army cannot receive artillery support, at least not during the day, so rocket launchers are the only "heavy weapons" they can rely on!

    Although the machine gun can kill the Japanese on the ship, it cannot destroy the ship.

    Only rockets fired from bazookas can destroy the Japanese river-crossing boats.

    Guo Yuan looked out through the shell-proof hole, and all he saw was gunpowder smoke.

    The smoke produced when the artillery shells fired by the Japanese exploded almost obscured the entire position.

    The Japanese bombardment lasted for about ten minutes, and the sound of explosions gradually faded away. Immediately afterwards, a harsh police whistle sounded on the position. It was a police whistle warning that the Japanese were crossing the river!

    Guo Yuan immediately rushed out of the artillery hole with two ammunition handlers and quickly entered the forward position.

    Guo Yuan and his two ammunition men dug more than a dozen positions on the forward position. When they entered the forward position, they found that most of the positions had been destroyed. It looked like they had just been attacked by 10,000 heads.  The bison galloped and trampled them, and there was no way to provide them with cover.

    Fortunately, there are still several positions that remain intact.

    Guo Yuan quickly led his team members into one of the positions.

    The three of them had just hid themselves, when Guo Yuangang picked up the rocket launcher and saw through the sight of the scope that dozens of fishing boats had lined up from the east bank of the Xidang River and swooped towards the west bank quickly.

    In front of this row of fishing boats, there are several gunboats providing cover.

    Guo Yuan estimated the distance. One of the gunboats was less than a hundred meters away from him and was within range!

    "Shells!" Guo Yuan yelled, and an ammunition hand quickly stuffed a rocket launcher into the barrel.

    Guo Yuan took aim briefly, and then gently pulled the trigger. The next moment, there was only a click sound, and a rocket roared forward, dragging its tail flame.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
