Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight to seize the main points
The attack of the attack team could be said to be a failure. No one expected that a mine was laid on the ridge of the Japanese army. A ** anti-infantry mine knocked down three commandos. The explosion of the mine alarmed the Japanese army who were sleeping in their clothes and holding guns.
The small number of 100-type submachine guns equipped by the Japanese army played some role, but under the courageous assault of Chinese soldiers, the Japanese army was soon defeated and wiped out. As soon as the battle ended, Wu Mantang hurriedly ordered the launch of three red signal flares.
When the signal flare was launched, Xu Hui, deputy battalion commander of the Engineering Battalion, did not find the detonation device set up by the Japanese army? The cold sweat on Wu Mantang's face was mixed with rain.
"Why can't you find it? Everyone is looking carefully!" Wu Mantang knew that he was a little panicked. Brigade Commander Huang should have attacked the Japanese position in the valley at this moment! If it was detonated by the Japanese army at this time, the troops without assault of more than 2,000 people would be wiped out.
The fierce firefighting echoed in the valley made Shinichi Tanaka, Takeuchi Kuraku and others run out of their tents in disarray!
"Send someone to find out the situation immediately!" Tanaka Shinichi's roar made the communications consultant want to grow two legs and disappear into the night.
The most difficult thing to wait in the dark night is that when the three red signal flares soar into the air, Shinichi Tanaka's heart seemed to be pulled hard by someone! The sudden sound of gunfire and explosions echoed in the valley, and panicked Japanese officers and soldiers were everywhere.
Takeuchi Hiroshi, who was the first to force himself to calm down, knew that the Chinese Expeditionary Force would not come so quickly. Could it be the remnant army in the city outside the valley? Takeuchi Hiroshi felt incredible. If it were the crippled Chinese team of Naban, the main force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force would have arrived nearby. Thinking of this, Takeuchi Hiroshi was shocked and sweated.
Shinichi Tanaka looked at his panicked subordinates in annoyance. It was hard for him to believe that those people were the great Japanese emperors who believed in the unstoppable situation?
Wu Mantang finally found the Japanese detonator in the cracks of the cliff on the cliff. Two Japanese soldiers guarding the detonator had been dealt with by grenades. Wu Mantang, who climbed into the rock crack along the rope, was startled by a flashlight and shocked himself.
There were hundreds of boxes of tnt explosives piled up in the cracks of the rock. A few grenades just now were obviously a bit too rash. The bodies of two Japanese soldiers with iron chains on their feet were still emitting blue smoke. Obviously, these two Japanese soldiers were selected as members of the Earth Fighting Team. It was no longer news that the Japanese soldiers locked their people in fortifications or on big trees with iron ropes. In addition to a field phone in the cracks, they were also empty.
After Wu Mantang finally breathed a long sigh of relief after removing the main switch of the detonator, he leaned against the stone wall with some tension and strength. A fierce exchange of fire sounded in the direction of the valley entrance. It was a critical moment! If it was later, these two Japanese troops might detonate the explosives at any time. If the explosives were detonated, no one of the thousands of people attacking the valley entrance would survive.
Although the Japanese army arranged three lines of defense at the entrance of the valley, the purpose was to confuse the attacking teams in the middle and use the blasting valley to deal severe damage to the enemy. Therefore, the Japanese army only symbolically arranged a small team of troops in each line of defense.
Huang Guohua led the assault troops to break through the two front lines of the Japanese army. His main force began to improve the fortifications and prepare for defense at the first line of defense of the Japanese army. Three companies were deployed on the second line of defense of the Japanese army. Chinese soldiers used the Japanese fortifications to transport a large number of small wooden grenades to the position.
Huang Guohua picked up a small wooden grenade and looked carefully. An English letter w at the handle was deliberately touched. However, the traces before could still be vaguely seen.
Huang Guohua knew that the formal name of this grenade was the Type 24 destruction bomb of the Republic of China. It is the same as the Type 24 yellow grenade and the Type 1 sessile grenade. The Type 24 sessile grenade is known as the four great King Kongs. They are all previously introduced from Germany and are very intimate and good things. The only difference between Type 24 destruction bomb is that this grenade has no delay fuse and it sounds as soon as it is pulled!
Most of the grenades in the Expeditionary Force will be equipped with special combat brigades and are arranged into various thunders that the Japanese army cannot defend against according to tactical needs. Zhang Tiansheng thought it was good and asked for a large number of them. As a result, the previous battle was useless, so people wiped out the W logo on the bullet body and prepared to give them to the Japanese who were not very well-supply as gifts.
When Shinichi Tanaka learned that the Chinese team had occupied the Tanikou and destroyed the detonation device, Shinichi Tanaka immediately realized that the extremely important Tanikou must be recaptured immediately. In order to lure the Chinese team into the market, they used explosion as a means to wipe out its vanguard in one fell swoop, so they gave up the Tanikou, which is very important for defense. Now that the blasting cannot be implemented, Tanikou becomes crucial.
Tanaka Shinichi and Takeuchi Hiroshi briefly negotiated the 18th Division to regain Kitanikou and be responsible for the defense, while Euma Naikawa is responsible for the defense of Mianikou, and independently mixed into the 24th and 2nd
The reserve team was responsible for the support, and Aoki Doichi's independent mixed into the large crack in the center of the valley of the 1c5th Brigade, which was the only channel that was rarely known to travel east and west across the Jinmin Mountains.
The final deployment of the Japanese army was to use the Naba Valley to resist tenaciously, and then take advantage of the opportunity that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had relaxed fatigue after he thought he had successfully surrounded the siege and left one to be confused. The main force fled lightly and rushed straight to Impal and jumped out of the encirclement.
The Japanese counterattack was expected by Huang Guohua, but the ferocity and strength of the counterattack were greatly beyond his expectations. The black Japanese army roared in the dark and counterattacked. Huang Guohua first organized firepower to deal with a fierce blow to the Japanese army.
The bomb rain composed of the eight-inch-caliber Browning M2 machine gun and the sixteen Browning 762mm-caliber m1a4 was like an iron curtain. Although the shooter's sight had a great impact, this still did not affect the Japanese army, which was crazily counterattacking in the narrow valley.
The narrow valley made the support firepower of the Japanese army useless. The Japanese soldiers who were holding bayonets shouting wildly, together with the officers who waved the command knife, would only realize that it would be so painful to be shot, and life was so fragile? No one could bless them in front of the flying bullets.
The 127mm caliber m2.50 machine gun is like a harvester with outstanding performance. The huge destructive power of its ammunition often causes the Japanese soldiers hit torn apart, with residual limbs, blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground. After repeated and repeated arousing courage, the Japanese offensive declined. The fierce and uninterrupted firepower of the Chinese team made the Japanese officers and soldiers unable to see the hope of victory. The Takahashi Regiment's retreat seemed to be better than the offense.
When the gunfire of the Chinese defenders paused, apart from the strange wind, the valley was filled with silence like death.
The bodies of Japanese officers and soldiers fell to the ground in different shapes, and the blood dyed the sand and stones in the valley red.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Huang Guohua organized his troops to quickly withdraw the first line of defense in Taniguchi. After learning that Takahashi had failed to contact the offense and lost two squadrons, Tanaka Shinichi also obtained intelligence confirmation that the attack and occupation of Taniguchi was the Zhong** team of Jilai Naba City, not its main force.
Tanaka Shin-yi ordered one by one: "The 55th Infantry Regiment and the 56th Infantry Regiment cooperated with the Takahashi Regiment to strengthen the artillery unit. At all costs, be sure to regain the Taniguchi position before dawn, otherwise its main officer would thank him."
Hi! Takahashi Jinichi, Miyamoto and others on the side hurriedly stood attentively and answered yes!
They could not understand how the fifty military police officers with rich combat experience were guarding the detonation point at the top of the valley. How many Chinese people went up? Since the Chinese broke the rope ladders that were passing up, no one has been able to climb up until now. Those who had climbed and set up rope ladders before were all the military police who were attacked and killed. The destruction of the blasting plan unexpectedly led to the passive defence of the Kitanikou.
The Japanese generals and officials were very clear that the narrowest part of the Naba Valley lies in the valley entrances on both sides, and the narrowest part was only about four meters. The Chinese Expeditionary Force was good at using chariot assaults as a tactical means. If it could hold the valley entrance and destroy one or two enemy tanks, it would block the access road, making the follow-up troops of the Chinese ** team unable to be deployed, and its firepower advantage would be limited. Whether the valley entrance position could be regained is related to the key to being able to stick to it.
Faced with the rippling life and death, the Japanese officers and soldiers burst out with amazing combat effectiveness. Almost every Japanese soldier knew that if he wanted to leave Myanmar safely, he had to stubbornly use the favorable terrain of the valley to block the Chinese Expeditionary Force to the death. Only when the fiercer the fight was fought, they had a greater chance of breaking out of the encirclement.
Three Japanese infantry corpses who were given dead orders were deployed to seven infantry brigades, under the cover of twelve field artillery, began to attack one after another. Huang Guohua directly gave up the second line of defense, which made the Japanese army's heavy punch feel like it was lost!
"The Chinese are timid! They retreat!" The various materials left on the position and the unexcavated fortifications made Takahashi forget the nightmare-like fierce firepower. He naturally believed that the Chinese team retreated for fear of losing. After all, such a large amount of ammunition was left, especially nearly a hundred boxes of grenades in which all troops were in short supply. Takahashi immediately ordered twenty boxes to be left, and the remaining seized grenades were immediately sent to the division headquarters.
In fact, Takahashi knew in his heart that the move of the China ** team was to shrink its defense and concentrate its troops and firepower, but he had no way out.
