"Reporting to the commander, there is only a simple road from Pontianak to here. The road has been disrepair for a long time and the soft roadbed cannot increase the transportation speed and capacity. At the same time, there are a small number of Japanese troops scattered along the way and harassing each other from time to time. This is the main reason." The other side of the earpiece has become accustomed to Cheng Wenli's majesty and style of doing things, so the other party immediately reported the difficulties they encountered truthfully and dared not hide or argue at all.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work. I can't give you too much guarantee. I can only guarantee you one thing, that is, you will not explain to me for the harassment and ambush of the Japanese defeated soldiers." Hang up the phone and Cheng Wenli immediately asked the communicator to draft a new order:

"This orders the ground infantry troops heading towards Sribaga Bay Port from Kuching to stop advancing and conduct a clearing of Japanese defeated soldiers who fled into the jungle on the spot. When there are no traces of Japanese activities along the way or the Sribaga Bay Port is taken down one week later, the order will automatically end!"

This order immediately made the infantry troops following up and reinforcements jump up. Although it was considered a war to encircle and suppress the Japanese defeated soldiers on the spot, it would be a trivial matter to hide a few Japanese defeated soldiers in the jungle all over the mountains. Everyone knows that this battle to clear out is a thankless thing.

Without enough helicopters to support quickly like the North China Army, the time-consuming, labor-intensive and efficient operation of the clearing operation is far less satisfying than the battle of attack or annihilation.

However, the order had been issued. The commanders who were urging the soldiers to speed up their journey on the road could only watch the convoy drive towards the place they yearned for, and they could only carry ammunition and supplies to start playing hide-and-hide games with Japanese soldiers.

However, these infantry commanders noticed one of the orders. That is, if all the Japanese defeated soldiers were wiped out as soon as possible, even if the tasks in the order were completed, they might still be able to catch the last train of the tough battle.

You should know that the Japanese devils in Seribaga Bay are not 10,000 or 20,000, but with the crazy Japanese armed immigrants, there are as many as 70,000. Just because of the more than 10,000 infantry troops who have just rushed to reinforce, the offensive power is far from enough.

The idea of ​​these infantry officers was good, and they urged the soldiers to speed up the clearance so that they could get on the last train of the Japanese war.

This starting point is also correct, but they did not expect that they missed something, and Cheng Wenli did not intend to use infantry and Japanese devils to play a war of attrition in the ruins, fighting for attrition from the streets and walls!

The Japanese garrison troops fantasized about giving a large amount of damage to the Chinese offensive forces with their huge suicide groups in street battles, but they did not expect that Cheng Wenli, the commander of the Expeditionary Army, did not intend to use infantry and Japanese devils to play a battle of attrition between the streets and walls in the ruins.

In his order, he gave the infantry to clear out the Japanese defeated troops, but the heavy fire mechanized troops of various types of artillery, rocket launchers, tanks and armored vehicles rushed directly to the periphery of Seribaga Bay, and the increasing heavy firepower troops accumulated into a terrifying number without realizing it.

Cheng Wenli wanted to use a large number of shells and bombs to carry out a major cleaning of the entire city!

Because Cheng Wenli had already seen it. The Japanese army had been so crazy that it could no longer be crazy. Any wounded soldiers or even ordinary armed immigrants were a threat to Chinese soldiers. They would still be highly aggressive when they were dying.

In this case, putting infantry into this ruined street battle is to take risks with the lives of the soldiers. Although Cheng Wenli has a straightforward temper, he is a cautious and cherishes the lives of the soldiers.

His past experience told him that the life of every soldier is precious, and being able to kill his enemies with enough shells is the best war. And it is this goal in his heart that he is the first senior general to propose the concept of zero casualties in war!

Cheng Wenli's command style that deliberately reduces the death rate of soldiers is also very controversial in the army. Some people jokingly call him the commander who is most afraid of death, but the soldiers under his command love this commander who always cherishes their lives.

Although Cheng Wenli's army has always had the smallest casualty rate, there is one data that has the largest unit consumption ratio. That is, his ammunition consumption and support request volume are the largest, so large that the average reinforcement unit of the head is larger than that of several other ace troops!

This kind of thinking is a bit like the cannonism advocated by the Soviet Union, but those who understand and study the Wenli combat style will find that his style is different.

While Cheng Wenli pays attention to the pouring of firepower, he also pays great attention to meticulous things. While his combat style pursues firepower suppression and cleaning, he also has high requirements for the personal skills and tactics of soldiers and the cooperation between small groups.

If you continue to understand, you will find that Long Shunqiang is also very particular about and researching the combination of various weapons. His troops may not be as extensive leapfrog collision-style as North China and Northeast Army. However, if you pay attention to steady action, Cheng Wenli and his troops have the most experience.

In the early morning of March 3, when fish white appeared in the sky east of the Bay of Seribaga, suddenly, an alternative fish white appeared at its southward intersection.

If you have seen the thrilling artillery battle with the Soviet troops in the Northeast, you will find that this alternative light is the fireworks scene generated by a large number of artillery fire.

In order to use a large number of artillery shells and bombs to carry out a major cleaning of the entire city, Cheng Wenli concentrated all types of artillery in the entire army together. Although the number is not as large as that of several main army groups, he is not much inferior to that of the firepower cleaning in the army.

Such an indiscriminate coverage shelling looks like a large-scale directional blast from the sky. All the shells are not bombarded everywhere, but are gradually advancing layer by layer in regions.

Looking down from the sky, the entire Sribaga Harbour is a bit like a chessboard that divides several squares. Starting from this side of the chessboard, the Chinese shells lined up into the bottom layer one by one, and then pushed towards the opposite side one by one.

This kind of artillery level is very similar to the firewalls fired by artillery soldiers with excellent artillery skills. However, the range and accuracy are worse. With the advancement of this kind of firewall, any area after the artillery will become a ruin in the ruins. The power generated by various caliber artillery makes the Japanese officers and soldiers and suicide armed immigrants who are ambushing here have nowhere to hide.

There is no way, this kind of shelling is an indiscriminate saturated shelling. It will also shock you if you don’t blow it to death. Moreover, the shelling also contains several rocket cloud bombs, which causes actual killing ability beyond imagination.

In this way, the density of artillery bombardment gradually extended, and following the artillery fire were some small and medium-caliber artillery units and ground infantry units responsible for searching for the remaining enemies.

These infantry and other units have basically the same equipment, but one thing is that if you look closely, you will find that there are not many ammunitions such as guns and bullets in the weight-bearing equipment on these soldiers.

The most commonly equipped soldiers are grenades and rifle grenades covered with military uniforms, and each soldier even carries a rocket ammunition.

"At two o'clock in front, I found that there were residual enemies moving!" Slowly walking on the edge of the ruins after the bombardment of artillery fire, the soldiers following the search were paying attention to any abnormal movements at any time. Just now, a soldier discovered that under a broken wall, there was a man covered in sand and couldn't see whether it was a civilian or an armed immigrant. He squirted.

"Are you a civilian or a Japanese immigrant?" Since there were still more than 30 meters away, everyone did not approach and checked. They did not directly scan the few bullets, but instead half-squatted down from afar to watch.

"I can't see clearly. Anyway, there are no Chinese here. Big Tiger. Come and clear the field. Please give one behind the broken wall!" The squad leader did not order any soldier to check, but turned to another soldier.

The warrior who received the order took out two grenades from his body without any hesitation. He pulled the strings and threw them out. The two grenades accurately flew over a distance of more than 30 meters to not far away next to the wriggling body. One of them flew over the broken wall with a high parabola and fell behind the broken wall that no one could see.

Two loud explosions were heard, and the guy who was still squirming without any suspense was killed. The explosion effect of the grenade that landed behind the broken wall surprised everyone.

Because during the explosion, everyone obviously saw that a body in a roman kimono was blown out in the smoke and dust generated by the shock wave. After the explosion, some painful moans and wails came from behind the broken wall.

"Add two more!" Seeing the things that were blown out behind the broken wall, the squad leader did not hesitate or excitement at all. He coldly gave another soldier the order to shoot again.

The other two soldiers did not hesitate. The grenades that had been prepared in their hands quickly pulled the fire and threw them out, landing behind the broken wall as accurately as the special forces just now.

The explosion power of the two grenades not only quickly ended the sound of wailing and moaning. At the same time, everyone noticed that the explosion was not only two but four sounds. The powerful shock wave generated by the four explosions also completely pushed the broken wall down, revealing the scene behind them in the eyes of these Chinese soldiers.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and what appeared in everyone's eyes were several corpses that had been blown up. The body was riddled with holes by the pre-installed fragments on the grenade, and several broken limbs were scattered around.

Two of the corpses were blown into two pieces, which seemed to be an explosion on their waists. This situation was mostly the result of suicide bombs tied with explosives around their waists.

"Bah, I almost succeeded these little Japanese!" The big special forces soldier with a headscarf and a gas mask spat on the ground and said hatefully.

"Note that I have covered the formation and continued to search, and the grenades were ready to shoot. The Japanese often took several suicide immigrants as a group of units. You have to be so kind, just bombard them." The search team that had just stopped moving forward moved forward again, but a few soldiers replaced the semi-automatic rifle in their hands and raised a short-barrel single-shot launcher dedicated to the 38mm grenade.

These troops have highly developed Long Shunqiang's combat tactics that highly value soldiers' safety. The soldiers of the troops carried a large number of grenades, grenades and 40 rockets. When they saw the threatening target wreckage, they blasted and searched without saying a word.

If the wreckage on the ground is not conducive to the entry of off-road vehicles, after a shot is usually fired, the troops will need to sweep the suspected targets to use large-caliber machine guns or machine cannons for a while. Under such a triple firepower, even a mouse will turn into meat scraps and blood foam under this cleaning.

This kind of fighting style that is very similar to later generations of mold soldiers in Iraq is a unique set of tactics gradually formed under the thinking mode of Cheng Wenli's great care for soldiers' lives. Although one feature of this tactic is that it is extremely costly to shells, this unique fighting style is also nicknamed by insiders in the army to open the way forward and grenade rockets to clean the battlefield.

But what we have to deny is that to deal with Japanese madmen who are rushing up at any time with grenades, this tactic is indeed the most effective and suitable tactic. If other troops are replaced by this battle, they will probably be blown up by those suicide bombs.

Because this tactic also gives the Expeditionary Army the lowest casualty rate and rich veteran resources. Since the Expeditionary Army has been committed to the research of low casualty tactics, this also makes the army have quite a lot of veterans.

Although most of these veterans were reorganized and recruited ordinary soldiers during the reorganization, and their cultural level was slightly worse than the average culture of other main armies, these veterans did not need too much knowledge and skills. The most training items they had in the army were marching with loads and searching and clearing after firepower cleaning, and to fill in a bomb-destroying residual enemy buried in the ruins to ensure that the enemy could not die again.

Because the scene was too bloody after the tactics were implemented, the Expeditionary Army was also called the Sai Mo Army by insiders. Wherever the Sai Mo Army went, all enemy troops turned into Sai Mo Army without any difference.

The battle on Kalimantan Island entered the stage of clearing away the remaining enemies with the general attack launched by the Expeditionary Army's Sad Mo Army. Although in the battle against the Sribaga Bay Port, the dense artillery fire of the Expeditionary Army flattened the entire port and other buildings to the ground, resulting in some criticisms of the engineering construction units.

However, after learning that the Japanese army had already started intentional sabotage operations before the Chinese army launched an attack, this opinion disappeared, and instead complained that the expeditionary army was not fierce enough to fight.

Because the engineers who built the harbor discovered that the Japanese army had buried many mines and mines on several docks and waterways in the harbor. If the minesweeping forces had not discovered it in time, the engineers who had rashly started construction would definitely suffer a big loss.

Putting aside how the Expeditionary Army caught the Japanese enemy on Kalimantan Island, on the same day, the assault regiment that had first adjusted its combat deployment preparations along the railway line with a large number of horses and requisitioned transportation equipment.

Mo Xiong and his team relied on numerous one-time logistics horses and some trucks, armored vehicles, baggage trucks, and the main infantry force of the assault regiments rushed for three days. On the third day, they set the latest daily propulsion record of 161 kilometers of one day.

This record makes people of the heavy mechanized North China Army ashamed. You should know that although the North China Army is a heavy firepower machinery army, it is necessary to fight to advance layer by layer.

Although there are cases of excessive roundabout maneuvering operations, the Japanese propulsion speed is fully received by the ground troops and is set along the way. This data usually does not count the distance between airborne troops and other troops dropped to the rear of the enemy.

After three days of rushing, the advancement speed of the vanguard of the ** regiment began to decline. This was because there was a gap in the fuel of the vehicles in the team. In order to ensure a stable speed of propulsion, some vehicles that consumed fuel after occupying a railway station were placed here waiting for the logistics troops to transport the fuel from the rear by train.

The infantry continued to carry a large number of horsemen to carry supplies and continue to advance until they occupied the next railway station and then placed some vehicles that consumed fuel, and then promoted repeatedly.

This combat experience of the assault regiment was quickly sent to the subsequent attacking troops. Each unit quickly advanced to the surrounding area in accordance with this method. The main attack directions were divided into five routes.

First, the fifth route advances along the coastline to the east and west lines to clear the Australian armed forces in coastal towns and protect the safety of the landing site; second, the fourth route attacks along the railway line in a diagonal line, expanding the safety range of the two wings of the railway line like a horoscope; third route, that is, sending subsequent reinforcements to reinforce assault regiments along the railway line all the way south.

After the vanguard of the assault regiment captured the town of Tennant Creek, the vanguard of its subordinates finally received the first supply from the rear. A train of supply supplies and some heavy fire support machinery transported by the seized train.

However, this kind of railway support has temporarily lost its effect. After being caught off guard, the Australians finally reacted and destroyed the railway line behind them.

However, for the assault regiment warriors who have already developed their experience in this kind of combat, this trick is not difficult for them. After all, they did not expect that this rapid advancement would receive too much support from the railway capacity at the beginning. They already knew what they should do in this situation.

"Everyone is going to explode, three, two, one!"

With a slight explosion, the safe in the room was blown up by a small directional explosion. When the thick iron door was pulled open, bundles of Australian coins inside were quickly packed into sacks and carried out by strong Chinese soldiers to load them onto the car.

On the door post in front of the broken door, the bank's sign fell weakly to the ground, proving his past history.
