On the 30th, as the battle for Tonggu entered its climax, the Japanese army base camp in Tokyo, Honshu, felt a trace of inexplicable heat, and at this moment in Burma, the war was hotter than the summer sun.
In the middle of the road, the 200th Division of the Fifth Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force fought bloodily with the 55th and 56th Divisions of the Japanese Army in Tonggu, and the killing was dark.
On the east road, the Eighth Army and the 18th Division of the Japanese Army repeatedly tug-of-war.
On the west road, the British army and the Japanese 33rd Division repeatedly exchanged fire and retreated all the way, and the whole Burma can be described as full of wolf smoke.
Far away in Chongqing, Stilwell did not expect this situation to happen, and Stilwell, who had sworn before, seemed to be a flamboyant political liar, and the British could not be trusted, and the chief of staff sent by the Americans actually wanted to set up his own more than 100,000 elites The 200th Division was encircled by the Japanese army in Tonggu, the Fifth Army made slow progress, and the Eighth Army was pinned down by the Japanese army and could not carry out, and the shadow of the defeat in the Third Battle of Changsha at the beginning of the year had not yet dissipated.
The 66th Army in his own hands is not only the general reserve of the expeditionary force, but also has to take into account the garrison of Kunming, and the 66th Army must not advance in advance.
He rubbed his hands at a loss, he didn't smoke, he drank very little alcohol, and even drank very little tea, and the biggest problem he was facing now was the attitude and positioning of the United States towards him.
Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, 36 of the 62 divisions and 42 of the 58 mixed brigades of the Japanese Army have all been pinned down on the Chinese battlefield, and most of these pinned down units are the elite of the Japanese army's permanent divisions.
As a soldier and politician, pay more attention to the latter, what role he plays in China, and what role China will play in the international arena The rest is just a chess piece on the chessboard, one more and one less, of course, the chess pieces must also be separated from relatives, distant and close, third, sixth, ninth, etc., the 200th Division is obviously the closest first class.
In the same ancient city, when Song Yuhang was organizing his troops to brave the sporadic Japanese artillery fire to strengthen the fortifications, he received a call from Dai Anchen: The cavalry regiment of the general reserve of the 200th Division was discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes during the deployment of defenses, and its command organs were severely damaged by Japanese bombers, and the regimental headquarters and the battalion officers who were holding the meeting did not survive.
Now that Dai Anchen has assigned a battalion of the cavalry regiment to Song Yuhang's command, the significance is naturally self-evident, this is a rare trust and responsibility.
Although the new city area operated and defended by Song Yuhang was full of ruins and rubble at this time, the fortification defense system was the most complete, and it would be the last fortress of the 200th Division in Tonggu.
At 4 o'clock in the morning of the 31st, Song Yuhang, who had just closed his eyes and was about to rest for a while, was awakened by a burst of gunfire, which came from Alemyan in the east of the city, which was the location of the division headquarters of the 200th Division, Song Yuhang glanced at Xu Tu'an, who was a little frightened, and reprimanded: "What a panic, immediately order the first battalion of the military police to gather and follow me to the east of the city to have a look." ” Song Yuhang thought about it all the way, and he didn't remember that in history, the search wing belonging to the 56th Division of the Japanese Army once crossed the river on foot and attacked the division headquarters of the 200th Division, whether he forgot it or that there were unknown changes in the battle situation When Song Yuhang led the team to the east of the city, he found that the two Japanese brigades had completely occupied the left and right flank positions of the Xitang River Bridge, and the 200th Division, the division headquarters and the troops inside the city were completely cut off, and they had no choice but to cross the river and retreat south.
In desperation, Song Yuhang returned to the military police headquarters, which was now the only remaining high-rise building in the same ancient city, and the British Reserve Bank, built by the British 40 years ago, was actually made of granite with a diameter of one meter, like a fortress, and the location was the dead end of the Japanese heavy artillery, and the power of the 50 or 100 kg aerial bombs of the Japanese infantry artillery and aviation was not enough to destroy it.
Returning to the gendarmerie headquarters, Song Yuhang breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly found that Zheng Tingqian was waiting for him Very moment, extraordinary practice, Zheng Tingqian did not drag the mud and water to explain to Song Yuhang, but just calmly told him: "The division headquarters is being transferred, the division appoints me as the acting commander of the city defense, appoints you as the deputy commander, shrinks the troops and sticks to the new city, the specific arrangement is that you are in the east and I am in the west."
Zheng Tingqi's gloomy expression let Song Yuhang know that things will definitely not be as simple as he said, I am afraid that the division headquarters has not yet gotten rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army, and a trace of gloom flashed in Song Yuhang's heart Song Yuhang knew that Zheng Tingqi had left the heavy responsibility of the main direction of the Japanese army's attack to himself, nodded slightly, took off a Mauser sniper rifle from the wall, and led the guard squad directly to the old bell tower.
The old bell tower can be said to be a meeting point of the old and new city of the ancient city, where Song Yuhang organized the troops to work hard for six days, exhausting a battalion of gendarmes to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, and there is a defense system second only to the Reserve Bank.
Liu Mengzi, as always, followed Song Yuhang closely with the supplemented guard squad, except for a Type 1928 submachine gun, each of them was a Mauser automatic pistol, and each of them brought a satchel containing 8 Type 24 grenades.
The last four guards of the team carefully carried two boxes containing 39 incendiary bombs made by Song Yuhang In addition, Song Yuhang also brought 15 of the remaining 26 sharpshooters Just two blocks later, Song Yuhang, who was walking in the front, suddenly lowered his body and lay down in the rubble on the side of the road, and the guards behind hurriedly followed and hidden, Liu Mengzi climbed to Song Yuhang's side and probed the probe.
Song Yuhang observed the nearby environment and said, "This is the control area of our army."
Liu Mengzi nodded and said: "Two streets in front of you is the old bell tower, this is still our territory, and the little devil can't touch it." ” Song Yuhang removed the scope on the Mauser sniper rifle, carefully observed for a while, handed the scope to Liu Mengzi and whispered: "Look outside" Liu Mengzi was startled, it turned out that the position they were in was the dead corner of the street, and they couldn't see the situation on the street, using the scope, he clearly saw dozens of corpses on the street, most of the corpses were medical guards and communication heralds, and the most worrying thing for him was that the two female rescue guards also fell in a pool of blood, one of the female rescuers still maintained the posture when she was sacrificed, she crawled on the body of the wounded, trying to cover the wounded with her body, and the clothes behind her were beaten like honeycombs.
Judging from the bullet holes behind the female rescue guards, the Japanese army was likely to carry more than one heavy machine gun, and the direction of the female rescue guard's fall and the angle of the bullet had already told Song Yuhang the location of the Japanese heavy machine gun, this was not a positional battle, the Japanese army prepared at most two firing bunkers, and due to the relationship of time, the location of these two bunkers should not be too far.
"You leave two people for me, and you take the rest of the people into the building over there, and as soon as the gun goes off on my side, you throw grenades from room to room, remember, there is a delay of 2 seconds before throwing."
After instructing Liu Mengzi, Song Yuhang began to carefully adjust his sniper rifle.
Hirai Muraminami, a rural teacher of Hokkaido music, has passed the age of his son, he has been living a life that people look down on, peeping at women taking baths, cheating on children's lunch boxes, there is almost nothing he can't do, timidity, cowardice, shamelessness has become synonymous with him.
After the Mongol Incident, this war gave him an opportunity, after turning over the ancestral tree, he actually had a relationship with the famous Hirai family in Hokkaido, and after disguising himself as a subject who was willing to serve the emperor, his grandfather, who was seven years older than him, Hirai Usuke Daisa, who was the commander of the search wing of the 56th Division of the Japanese army, gave him a chance.
The beastly nature that had been suppressed for many years was finally released, rape and torture Hirai Mura Nan relied on cruel means, killed dozens of Chinese soldiers who laid down their arms, and honored the stolen women and property to the officials, his crazy killing coupled with the influence of Hirai Usuke Daisa, in three years, Hirai Mura Nan, who had not undergone any professional military education, was promoted from a soldier to a lieutenant Today, when this poisonous snake led a machine gun squad to intersperse detours, he was lucky enough to cross the defense line of the Chinese army, and Hirai Muraminami, who realized that he had broken through the defense line of the Chinese army first, was ecstatic.
In order to achieve greater feats, he placed three Type 92 heavy machine guns in the ruins of two abandoned two-story buildings, so as to ambush the Chinese army and cut off the reinforcements and supplies of the forward positions.
Unlike Hirai Muraminami, who was immersed in obscenity, heavy machine gun shooter Guard Sanro was in a very bad mood at the moment, and an hour ago, he shot and killed two Chinese female soldiers who were originally going to be captured alive, for which Hirai Muraminami, who was on the head of the sperm, gave him eight big slaps.
The fingers of the hei Mitsuro who had buried himself half in the dust on the trigger were numb, and no one showed up for a while Just as Song Yuhang was about to attack, a medical team of 100 people was rushing towards him from another street, and Wang Wen, who was carrying a medical kit on her back, actually walked at the front of the team.
The damn Song Yuhang waved desperately to signal them to stop advancing, but after Wang Wen found out, she walked quickly in her direction, and according to her speed, she would appear within the range of Japanese fire in a few seconds:
