"Your Excellency the Division Commander, the Shina army has entered the encirclement," a Japanese soldier Osa said next to Masao Watanabe, "all of them have entered."
"Yo Xi Rang Chi people, let's take a look at the strength of our imperial army" "Hi" The soldiers of the 49th Division have already received the news that there is an ambush of devils in this forest, but there is no need to be afraid, because the other three sides of this forest have their troops, and they want to encircle and eat this part of the devils, and for a while, the soldiers of the 49th Division are also very confident On the battlefield, it's not the first time they've been on it, but it's the first time they've been used as bait, or it's the first time, whether it's as bait or something else, once the devils are surrounded on all sides, they will definitely not be able to take advantage of it, so they are left to fight hard, and they are not afraid When the first gunshot was heard, the soldiers of the 49th Division immediately reacted and counterattacked on the spot "Bang" "Smack" "Da Da Da" "Brothers, don't be afraid to beat me the mountain," a captain shouted loudly as he shot at the devil on the mountain. \ At this time, Burma has not yet entered the rainy season, and the terrain here is somewhat similar to the 55th Division ambushed by Dai Anlan before, with mountains on one side and a dry riverbed on the other.
Therefore, the fighters of the 49th Division still have enough space to move and dodge.
"What's the matter with the teacher?"
"Let the artillery company bombard me n" "Yes" So, the two sides soon began to play with artillery again.
The 49th Division is not superior, but they have friendly forces After hearing the sound of gunfire, the 6th Army, the 66th Army and the 200th Division, which were ambushed on three sides, all began to move Masao Watanabe and Taketaguchi Ryoya were originally holding binoculars and looking at the 49th Division that was ambushed, but suddenly, it seemed that they heard gunfire from other places.
"Bang" "Da Da Da" Moreover, there is more than one direction As lieutenant generals, the two glanced at each other, and they roughly had some sense of proportion in their hearts, "The people of Shina actually carried out a counter-ambush on us" Watanabe Masao didn't dare to believe it, firstly, he believed that their information was not leaked, and secondly, the strength of the expeditionary force was used to surround them, and in their opinion, it was far from enough "Really, it's a little incredible" Mutaguchi Lian also laughed, thinking that the expeditionary force's counter-ambush against them was a joke, in their opinion, there was no 150,000 troops, and it was a fool's dream to ambush them.
"Hahaha, it's just on all sides, it just so happens that we have a total of 4 wings, let's fight back separately" Watanabe Masao laughed, and then his face sank, "Order, all parts of the counterattack to annihilate the Shina troops" "Hi" Mutaguchi Ryoya also gave this order, on the side of the 49th Division, it was enough to have one of his wings, and even, in his opinion, a brigade might be about the same, after all, they had a geographical advantage and an advantage.
Soon, some soldiers came to report that there were expeditionary forces attacking in three other directions, and the firepower was not weak.
At this time, Masao Watanabe and Mutaguchi Ryoya's eyes were a little more solemn, that is, they had been calculated a long time ago, and they themselves did not know.
"Why do the people of Shina know that we are here, is there something wrong with us" Mutaguchi Lian can only think of this aspect, after all, their actions are almost all confidential, and if they are leaked, it can only be a problem on the side of the command "Maybe" Masao Watanabe is naturally not too natural, he was originally full of confidence, but now he is slapped in the face" However, there is no need to worry too much, after all, we have a great advantage in firepower, even if we can't beat it, there is still no problem to break through. ” "That's right, in that case, if it's supposed to be fought, let's fight it, let them see if our Imperial Japanese Army is so easy to defeat."
"Well" after the two agreed, they also went their separate ways, after all, they couldn't help but look at the situation on the battlefield.
Zheng Tingji, with the soldiers of the 200th Division, launched an attack from the south of the mountain.
This forest, the altitude is not high, and as soon as he heard the sound of gunfire, he led his soldiers from the south of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
After all, the devils are all on the north side of the mountain.
Listening to the sound of guns in his ears, Zheng Tingjian did not hesitate, although it is not suitable to use artillery in the forest, because there are many trees and the space is not very good, but there is only one chance, only by suppressing the devil's firepower can the devil be quickly suppressed.
"Let the artillery battalion go up and shoot all the shells for me" "Yes" The artillery battalion of the 200th Division, after receiving the order, quickly found a slightly open place to build an artillery position.
Basically, they don't have to worry about their own safety at all, because it will be difficult for the devil's cannon to hit them.
"Camp, there are too many trees here, and the effect may not be good."
"What are you doing with so much nonsense" The captain rolled his eyes, "The division ordered us to fight, but we can't fight, even if it's difficult to fight, you guys also hit me accurately, it doesn't matter if you can't hit it right, at most you will knock over the tree for me, the one who falls down will still fall towards the devil, what are you afraid of" "Yes" was said by the captain, and the soldier also felt as if there was nothing to be afraid of, as long as the shells were shot down, there would still be damage to the devils.
A few minutes later, the captain stood aside and "fired" A row of artillery, bang bang out shells, however, the angle is not a very high elevation angle, but flat fire because they are on the top of the mountain, if it is an elevation angle, the range will be too large, it is easy to hit the friendly troops under the mountain, but if it is a flat shot, it will be different, flat fire, if you are lucky, you can directly hit the devil's position, if you are unlucky, you can jump a tree, and the tree must also fall in the direction of the devil Obviously, the devil did not expect that in the woods, the expeditionary force actually opened fire You know, there are so many trees in the woods, and it is very wasteful to fire a cannon, because it is almost impossible to hit the target correctly But they were wrong, there were still a few shells flying towards them, and some of them directly broke the towering ancient tree, and then the ancient tree also fell towards them The Japanese soldiers were a little panicked, looking at the several fallen trees, scattering in all directions, and didn't know where to escape safely.
But the Japanese did panic The shelling of the 200th Division continued, but the Japanese troops below fled in a hurry Zheng Tingjian looked at the effect of the shelling, hooked the corners of his mouth, a little unexpected, he originally thought that the shelling could cause as much damage as the devil could do, but he didn't expect that the broken tree also caused damage to the devil, which was an unexpected joy Moreover, the 200th Division had also ambushed devils in the forest before, and the soldiers were relatively familiar with the terrain and did not feel any discomfort.
"Boom" "Boom" The sound of cannons was incessant, and more than one tree had fallen.
Mutaguchi Renya was also responsible for dealing with the attack on the top of the mountain, and when he saw this situation, his face sank, and in such a situation, they had almost no way to fight, even if they hit, the trees were horizontal, and they couldn't catch up with the enemy, which cut off their way out:
