Chapter 302 North-South Counterattack
With the familiar military flag, the three grayhounds and the dense crowds were almost at the same time. The infantry wearing grass-green m42 uniforms shouted and rushed towards the Japanese army. The three machine guns on the grayhounds shot violently at the Japanese reinforcements from a high point.
The attack suffered a counterattack and the failure of Takahashi's eyes were filled with despair. He howled and waved the samurai sword and rushed towards the armored vehicle.
Amid the various shooting sounds of ping-pong, da da da da da da da da da da da basking, Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground. During the violent attack, Chinese soldiers were also shot and fell to the ground. This extremely close-range approach assault was extremely harmful to both sides.
At this time, the willpower and weapons and equipment of the officers and soldiers were tested. The morale of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was full of rapid-fire weapons. On the other hand, the Japanese army suddenly fell into a full passive retaliation due to the front-end counterattack. The two Japanese brigades were quickly eroded by the dense shooting sound, and the Japanese army, who had no hope of counterattack, began to retreat quickly.
The retreating captain Sasaki registrar yelled on the radio to call for artillery support, asking him to replenish his troops and launch another attack.
After learning that the Chinese Expeditionary Force's main force had arrived, Shinichi Tanaka immediately refused Sasaki's counterattack request. Shinichi Tanaka stared at the simulated sand table in the Naba Valley at the command post without saying a word. He knew that it would be too unfavorable for future operations to fail to regain the Taniguchi position before the main force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force arrived.
However, Shinichi Tanaka believed that the Chinese Expeditionary Force would not launch a fierce attack immediately, because it had a surprise attack after the Myitkyina War. Even if the mechanized troops and infantry were fast, their artillery and logistics would definitely be a distance away. Song Yuhang's character would not launch a rash attack, and would definitely wait for his artillery troops to arrive. Today is a sunny day, and the Chinese team will definitely call the US troops to carry out air strikes. The current main task is to build several defense lines in the valley and pay attention to air defense.
Xiu Neikuan also judged that the Chinese mechanized troops coming from the south would definitely launch an attack at the same time as the north, and before that, he still had time to strengthen his position.
The most coincidental Xiuanui and Tanaka Shinichi each sent a large brigade of troops, carrying the radio station along the large crack in the Naba Valley to cross the Jinmin Mountains, preparing for the subsequent retreat. Before the battle began, Takeuchi Hirowada, the commander, seeks a way out for himself. They do not want to act as victims of the base camp for the Indian strategy. Why are the lowly soldiers not the same? In this way, the morale of the troops will naturally not rise.
Song Yuhang contacted Chennard and asked for the most violent bombing in Myanmar's history in Naba Valley. Chennard agreed to Song Yuhang's request as always. In Chennard's view, he is a child, but he is sometimes too impulsive and does nothing to worry about the consequences and influences.
Song Yuhang led the US Military Observation Group, Xu Tuan, Liang Chao and others to the nameless highland. There were large pieces of shells everywhere in the soft soil. Discarded tourniquets, rusty shells, and broken ammunition boxes. They were covered with red-headed flies. All this shows how fierce the battle was at that time.
Song Yuhang stopped in front of a huge rock splashed with black blood. A mountain infantry captain was squatting under the huge rock. He inserted three lit cigarettes into the dark soil. After driving away the nearby ground flies, he took out a bottle of black whiskey from his bag. He trembled his hands and muttered something in his mouth.
Li Jicai, the combat staff officer of the Mountain Infantry Division on the side, whispered: "That was Wang Yong, acting battalion commander of the 1st and 2nd camps and acting chief of staff of the brigade. This was the location of the previous command of the brigade. Later, the Japanese army attacked here fiercely. Seven hand-to-hand combat broke out in one night. All the second battalions were stunned by the shells. Such a living person was left."
The successive positions of acting battalion commander and acting brigade chief of staff made Song Yuhang's heart skip. Can the captain cost the chief of staff? And it is not the chief of staff? The casualties in the army are naturally self-evident. Song Yuhang calmed down his mood and did not disturb the captain of the comrade-in-arms.
After arriving at the Master Peak of the Nameless Highlands, the charred soil and the stench of corpses made people feel dizzy. Song Yuhang quickly discovered the source of the stench. The abandoned corpses of the Japanese army in the middle of the battlefield had obviously been placed for a long time.
Song Yuhang turned to Xu Tuan behind him and said, "Old Xu. Arrange it. Use flamethrowers and white phosphorus incendiary bombs directly. Don't let our soldiers approach the corpses."
"Well! OK, I'll make arrangements now!"
"etc!"
Just as Xu Tuan was about to turn around, Song Yuhang called him again and said, "Don't waste the white phosphorus bombs. The little Japanese corpse. After the war, please keep some prisoners and let the Japanese prisoners dig the pit and bury them. Remember to dig a larger pit when digging the pit, and bring out the Japanese devils who dug the pit. Then they will bury them together and look clean."
Colonel Fernandera, who was standing next to Song Yuhang, swallowed heavily. Colonel Fernandera knew that the tens of thousands of Japanese troops were already like dead people in Song Yuhang's eyes.
Song Yuhang, the international community recognized as the Far East
Fernandela believes that it is really unfair. Basically, Song Yuhang killed himself, so where would he not accidentally hurt innocent people when he went to war? Fernandela, who often traveled to the Allied Staff Headquarters, understood that there was a British boost in this.
But today it seems that Song Yuhang's title of the No. 1 Executioner in the Far East is indeed too much. Fernandela is not a mediocre person, nor is he a hypocrite. He is an authentic American who takes the pursuit of maximization of interests as glory, puts a large amount of US dollars and gold bars into his pocket, and keeps talking about the pragmatic patriots who bless America with God.
Song Yuhang's hand-held artillery team mirror was adjusting the multiple and asked Zhao Yongliang: "Have the Japanese army organized a counterattack?"
Zhao Yongliang shook his head and said, "No, there was not even a normal artillery counterattack. They retreated back to the defense position in the valley."
"This is strange! The Japanese are not idiots. Even idiots would not choose such a dead land as a place to defend. The valley ranks second among the dead lands of military strategists, second only to the deserted mountains. Shinichi Tanaka would never make such a mistake!" Song Yuhang pushed the cannon mirror away and walked forward a few steps.
Liang Chao smiled and said, "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, don't be too arrogant to the Japanese. I have raided their hometown Mandalay. To the south, we will encounter our mechanized troops fighting on the plains, and to the north, we are blocked by the mountain division in Naba. His tens of thousands of remaining soldiers cannot reach the sky or the earth. Retracting back to the valley is probably their best choice!"
Xu Tuan'an echoed: "That's true. The Naba Valley is more than 40 kilometers long, narrow and curved, with cliffs on both sides. The large army cannot rush, which is indeed a good place for defense."
"It's better to be a grave!" Zhang Wei, the commander of the heavy artillery division, answered and said loudly: "Give me enough ammunition, no need to spend more. In seven days, at most eight days, I can level the Naba Valley, so that the Japanese will die without a burial place."
Zhang Wei's words made the division commanders present discuss it. It would be the best to be able to chew at the least cost. Even if the artillery takes the most important contribution, they don't care.
Chen Zhishen, who usually rarely speaks, looked at the Naba Valley and worriedly said: "The Japanese are not that stupid. They had full time to maneuver before. We don't know whether there will be longitudinal cracks in such a large valley for passage. Time is urgent! Please don't forget that the Third Army of our Expeditionary Force and Deputy Commander Chang are still in the Japanese encirclement of Kolkata!"
Chen Zhishen's words made Song Yuhang feel enlightened. One is what if there were really longitudinal cracks in the valley for passage? Not only could it not wipe out the Japanese army completely, it was also easy to escape important figures such as Shinichi, and the second was that this was likely to be the abandoned sons thrown out by the Japanese army to ensure the progress of the siege of Kolkata in India. In comparison, the Allies in the Kolkata siege were no less than 200,000.
If the Japanese army throws out their abandoned son, it means that they have the confidence or deployment in Kolkata. Perhaps the Japanese army will take action in the past few days. The Japanese army gave up Myanmar in strategic posture. In fact, it is not to occupy, and it is actually to occupy. If India captures India and cuts off China's international supply line, how long can the Chinese expeditionary force last? How long can China last? Once India loses, the consequences will probably be unimaginable. Song Yuhang scares himself into a cold sweat when he thinks of this.
"Please cooperate with the US Air Force. I want a detailed Naba Valley reconnaissance report. I'm looking for some locals to come and ask if there are any other exits in the canyon!" After Song Yuhang deployed, he quickly walked down the nameless highland. He knew that no matter what purpose he was, he could not wait.
War is war, and there are countless uncertainties in it. Song Yuhang, who returned to the command center in Naba City, immediately issued an offensive order. Due to road conditions, the heavy artillery division was divided into three parts during the march. The 75mm field gun and the 1mm howitzer arrived in time. Song Yuhang decided not to wait for the 155th howitzer of the heavy artillery brigade. To deal with the Japanese trapped in the Jedi, the 05mm howitzer was enough.
Song Yuhang's offensive order made Cui Zhijun feel a little sudden. After a long-distance raid, 55% of tanks and armored vehicles needed maintenance and maintenance. The main combat power of the armored troops lies in effective maintenance and maintenance, but Song Yuhang did not give him this time.
Tang Zhiqiang, deputy commander of the tank of the First Heavy Regiment of the First Heavy Regiment of the First Heavy Division of the First Mechanized Army, was responsible for the first round of assault. The eight 1te2 tanks he commanded were the pioneers of the troops' attacks, and the maintenance personnel were nervously installing minesweeping on the tanks.
Four tank rescue vehicles were also mixed in the assault convoy that followed closely to prevent tanks or armored vehicles from being hit and blocking the access.
The attack was set at 9:00 a.m. on May 15, 1944! A day that will be remembered by history, the Chinese Army had the ability to annihilate several Japanese division-based troops on a large scale for a campaign.
