Chapter 108: annihilated again
The three Japanese divisions that were ordered to pursue the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army were ordered to pursue the three Japanese divisions. Except for the 56th Division, the 18th Division and the 55th Division could completely act together.
Lieutenant General Mutaguchi also suggested that Lieutenant General Takeuchi Kura and they acted together. However, Lieutenant General Takeuchi refused. He also said that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had become a dog that was a loser, and it was not worth worrying about. In fact, it was just trying to seize the merits.
Now, I haven't won the credit, but I have taken myself into it.
Logically speaking, Mudaguchi Ryo should have gloated. However, he now feels a sense of mutual appreciation. The commander of the 33rd Division, Lieutenant General Sakurai Sei-3, was already dead. This time, Lieutenant General Takeuchi Hiroshi would probably not be able to escape. When they attacked Myanmar, only two of them were left of the four divisions that were fleeing in a panic.
"Secretary Commander, what should we do now?" asked Colonel Bai Jiaximing.
"Although I don't like that guy Takeuchi Kuang very much. However, since the commander has issued the order, we have to follow it. Order the troops and set off immediately. I hope that guy can insist on letting us arrive." Lieutenant General Mudaguchi Ryo ordered.
"Hi, Mr. Commander of the Division!" Colonel Bai Jiaximing immediately went to summon the troops.
Major Taef Mihashita curled his lips, but said nothing. He also believed that the 55th Division this time would be in danger. They had fought many battles with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army on the battlefield in Myanmar. It can be said that every time the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army took action, it was very cruel, and the Japanese army would pay a heavy price. It was different from the Chinese army they had hit before.
This time, it was obvious that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had set up a trap, and was waiting for the 55th Division to rush into it. As a result, that idiot Takeuchi Kuang really got in. Such a guy was seeking death.
The 18th Japanese Division began to rush to the battlefield. Although in fact, they were not very far from the battlefield, only more than 40 kilometers. However, the degree of mechanization was extremely low, and almost all the Japanese troops who were rushing on their legs would take a day to arrive. After they arrived, they could only collect the body of the 55th Japanese Division.
The anti-Japanese and national salvation army's siege on the 55th Division of the Japanese army continued. However, the situation of the war was becoming more and more dangerous for the 55th Division. As their casualties grew, the advantage of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army became increasingly greater.
"Kill! Brothers, add another effort to kill all these Japanese devils." A squad leader of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army shouted loudly. Blood was everywhere on his body and face. However, it was not his own, but Japanese himself.
There were originally 12 people in his squad, but now there are 10 left. Two of them have been killed. However, there are already several Japanese troops killed by them.
"Kill!" the other soldiers also shouted.
The balance of victory has gradually tilted towards the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Although the Japanese 55th Division was still insisting on it, it was just a trapped beast to fight.
In addition to their serious disadvantage in the military strength, one of the factors that influenced the Japanese army's progress step by step failure was also physical strength.
The 55th Division of the Japanese Army had already been on the road for a day. Before they could get a rest, they were attacked fiercely by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Many people didn't even eat dinner, fought on hungry, or were fighting with extremely physical strength, such as hand-to-hand combat.
On the other hand, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army rested for a day in the dense forest, and they were in full swing, both physically and energetic. At the beginning of the battle, they naturally had a great advantage.
Even though the Japanese army's bayonet skills were far better than those of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, they were hungry and tired on the one hand, and were besieged again on the other hand, and the final result was naturally very miserable.
"Baga! Go and die." A Japanese soldier watched his companions fall down one after another, and not long after, he was the only one left. This made him fall into madness.
The Japanese soldiers rushed towards one of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army with bayonets. However, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army on the opposite side directly raised their rifles.
"Bang!"
The gunshots and the bullets hit the Japanese army's head. The head was directly penetrated, and blood gushed out of the bullet holes.
The body of the Japanese soldier fell to the ground unwillingly.
"Despicable..." the Japanese soldier cursed.
"Bah! Idiot!" The soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army spit on the bodies of the Japanese soldiers and began to siege the next target with their comrades.
"Your Excellency the division commander, no, we have suffered a lot of losses, and there are not many troops left. Now, the morale of the soldiers is low and their physical strength is very bad. I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the Chinese people anymore." The three Colonels Ryo Sakuma looked frustrated and desperate.
"It's over, this time is really over. If we had known, we shouldn't have been greedy for merit and advancement." Lieutenant General Takeuchi Kuragata regretted it very much.
If he hadn't thought about robbing the merits, they might not have reached this point today. However, nothing is useless to say now. There is no use in the world to take regret medicine.
"Sakama, because of my mistake, this failure has caused everyone to be implicated. I should be responsible for this. I am very sorry." Lieutenant General Takeuchi Kurata apologized.
"Your Excellency Commander, you are serious. This is entirely because the Chinese are too cunning."
"Since we are in a desperate situation now and there is no other way, we can only fight with the Chinese. Even if it is the whole body, we will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Hiromoto Empire!"
"Hi, Master of the Division!"
The Japanese officers such as the three Colonels of Sakuma, answered loudly.
Although they knew that they would definitely die this time. However, even so, they were not afraid. Instead, they aroused their fighting spirit and wanted to continue fighting with the Anti-Japanese and National Saving Army until they died in battle.
Lieutenant General Takeuchi, with the officers of the division headquarters, rushed to the battlefield and joined the battle.
Although these officers all held command knives, their actual combat effectiveness was not strong. They were more engaged in command work and had long been unfamiliar with actual combat. After they went to the battlefield, they were completely delivering food.
"kill!"
Lieutenant General Takeuchi Kuan and others soon fell into a siege. Although the officers around them surrounded Lieutenant General Takeuchi Kuan to protect him. However, when these officers fell one after another, even the three Colonels Sakuma Ryo fell, he was the only one left.
"Baga!" Lieutenant General Takeuchi Kurama cursed.
But then, he felt a pain in his heart and a bayonet came out from his chest.
Takeuchi Kuraku only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and he couldn't help but want to close them.
