Chapter 1010 Tropical Thunder (Thirty) Done
"Is this a bit cruel? It's so easy to kill, but this caused a big fire..."
Bai Chongxi and his group felt something was wrong from the bottom of their hearts.
It is useless to fight against the Japanese army and kill the enemy. It doesn’t matter whether the means are cruel. For those veterans who have been fighting for the rest of their lives, their minds are as cruel and hard as steel. They will not feel inexplicable compassion because of the miserable death of only a few thousand Japanese troops. Until now, every general commanded the dead people to be killed. Zhuge Liang’s feeling of hurting the heavens because he burned too many people, that would not be possible at all!
Of course, Mr. Zhuge is a Taoist master. The most taboo thing is that he has too many karma and effects on his hands, and he also burned out his vine armored soldiers with a torch. In addition, people back then were indeed not like generals tempered by modern warfare, and had no idea about dead people.
Zhu Bin has seen examples of the destruction of the entire planet. He killed tens of millions of Japanese people by himself, which was no psychological disorder. The so-called clear idea would not form psychological disorders. This is true.
But it’s hard to say that a big fire is put on. In northern Myanmar, from November to April and May of the following year, it is dry season. Even if it’s not a little rain, it dries very quickly under the sun. There are too many dry branches and leaves on the ground, and once it causes a big fire, it may spread everywhere. It would not be great if it affects the transfer of its own army.
There is another thing that cannot be said. They are very uncomfortable with Zhu Bin's habit of witnessing particularly fierce battle scenes with his own eyes. If they don't know, they think this guy is an extremely bloodthirsty, violent and cruel leader. Since ancient times, these emperors and generals have ended up not having a good end!
Zhu Bin had some thoughts on guessing. But when they were worried about it, they waved their hands and said disapprovingly: "Anyway, it's not in our country. As long as we can kill our soldiers, it doesn't matter how hard they ruin it!"
I understand. Bai Chongxi sighed in his heart, he deserves that these Japanese devils meet Zhu Bin, a killer god. Since they have chosen to fight, don’t expect this side to be lenient and think they are unlucky!
As for the wonderful annihilation battle directed by Yuan Zhi and others' special forces, they could only sigh, but this is something that ordinary people cannot learn. Let me ask, who can get so much advanced equipment from Zhu Bin and flexibly cooperate with the system? It's difficult, too difficult!
Zhu Bin was still afraid that they would not understand, and explained with great interest: "Did you all see it? This is the advanced war model that we should focus on developing, facing the future. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched to fight field battles. It is outdated to engage in a long battle for positions under the cover of trenches and barbed wire! Our goal is to penetrate the attack with the most powerful and short small force, suddenly attack or occupy or destroy the operation nodes of the enemy, and then use them as reconnaissance guidance, and use high power, high speed, and high concealed destructive weapons to focus on their living forces."
If you only knew that there was such a statement in theory but could not imagine it, then now, Liu Shiyi and Bai Chongxi, who are not Zhu Bin's hard-core senior officers, have broadcast the real power of this tactic live for the first time.
Especially in the unfamiliar battlefields of enemy countries, or in the current tropical mountain jungle, the amount of information and information between the enemy and us is seriously asymmetric. Advanced aerial reconnaissance and information interception play a very limited role. When fighting for positions with the enemy, it will not only last long, consume a lot of troops, the material supply required, and even the national strength it affects are enough to bankrupt a powerful country.
If they follow their usual practices, they will be dispatched as soon as they come up. With advanced weapons and equipment and excellent training, they will forcibly move south before the great powers arrive, and eliminate the French colonial army in Vietnam, British troops in Myanmar and Laos, and colonial forces in Thailand, Malaya, and even occupy the entire Indochina Peninsula.
Is it OK? It can definitely be done, and the speed will be so fast that the great powers cannot react. But what about after the occupation? The trouble will be so big that no one can imagine it!
The Indochina Peninsula has been colonized by the great powers for many years. Various deeply rooted ruling forces have influenced the 100 million or 200 million indigenous people here openly and secretly. They blindly follow the situation and will not have much favorable feelings for the Chinese occupying forces.---Don't forget that for a hundred years, Chinese and overseas Chinese in these countries often have been hardworking, smart and capable, and quickly becoming rich in a short period of time, and can obtain benefits that make all indigenous people jealous.
But these lazy and stupid natives cannot do it themselves and are unwilling to do it, but they envy, jealous and hate the wealth of the Chinese. When foreign colonists instigated and instigated, they launched robbery, killing and exclusion against the Chinese. There have been countless times. The hatred they formed between them has become great.
The Chinese occupying forces were so difficult that they could not imagine. Under the manipulation of foreign devils, the guerrillas hiding into the mountains and assassinating the saboteurs would completely drag down the millions of troops and have no time to do anything else. China's local people would be in a state of turmoil just to provide these millions of people with ammunition. At that time, the great powers would be exhausted to deal with any troubles from other places.
Therefore, Zhu Bin clearly pointed out from the beginning that he would not take the initiative to break out of the border, not seek to occupy the territory of Southeast Asia, and not expect or simply do not want to rule the billions of indigenous people here, just turn this place into a battlefield.
How to fight? It is the way Zhu Bin's subordinates personally demonstrated today. First, capture Impal and force the great powers to send troops to rescue, and then use elite squads to raid and delay their deployment in the middle, dragging them down. Once the gathering of large groups of enemy troops is determined, then dispatch powerful bombers without hesitation and take them out!
Just like now, two of the three infantry corpses of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army have been killed, and one has to take care of hundreds of injuries, which has basically been delayed. Without them, the armored cavalry, engineers and baggage units are unable to rush, which is equivalent to dismantling most of the huge elite combat power of 20,000 to 30,000 people!
Want to reinforce them? Yes, but the roads are still the same, aren't you worried about repeating the same mistakes?
In addition, you can open a passage. Don’t forget, what kind of terrain is here! The undulating mountains are all over the sky, the sun is covered with trees, and everywhere is full of pits. Even if the great powers have concentrated their strength for a whole year, they have only barely created such a few simple passages across the peninsula. If you want to create a thoroughfare similar to the plain, go to dream!
The best thing to use is air transportation, but the premise is that you have to fight for air supremacy first! If you can't beat the Chinese Air Force, everything is false. You can just rely on the cover of the dense forest to transport it little by little with donkeys, horses and mules. They can't supply it even if they are exhausted!
At this point, Bai Chongxi and Liu Shiyi were completely convinced. They had calculated that there were no more. There were 30 or 50 elite five people, ten of whom infiltrated the special operations team and dropped them into the jungle, each looking for a main enemy force and summoning an air strike, which could completely disrupt the battlefield.
Even if the enemy knows their existence, they want to search and encircle and suppress. It should not be too simple for those five or ten people to transfer and hide. It only takes a small umbrella bag to provide them with supplies. The entire expenditure is more than a thousand times smaller than large-scale mobilization!
This also understands why the Third War Zone was established for three or four years. Hundreds of thousands of main forces have been confronting the front line, and the remaining more than one million people are training in the rear. After getting familiar with the battlefield, they spend most of their time helping with infrastructure construction and even farming... In fact, they are all using them as a guise to mislead the enemy!
Bai Chongxi didn't say anything. He knew his backward concept and probably didn't have much say in the current war. Liu Shiyi had to calm down and think about it. If he had his own conditions, what should he do?
Yuan Zhi and others completed the task, so they naturally looked for the next target and continued to struggle. After suffering a great loss, the coalition forces were in trouble! The other forces of the 55th Division, which were blocked in the long mountain passage, were suddenly in a mess. Without the central coordination and command, the divisions were in conflict immediately!
Just one day later, when his armored cavalry corps crossed the border and arrived in the mountainous area in northeastern Impal, they were caught by the special forces squad that had been detected early, and passed their coordinates to the air force. A bombing brigade that took off from Impal Airport immediately went there and burned it with aluminum heater. The cloud bombs and napalm bombs took turns to turn the mountainous area of about ten square kilometers where they were, turning them into a sea of fire hell!
Except for a very few who were dragged behind, the main forces were all wiped out!
Another day later, the 55th Division's baggage corps, which had been cut off from the back, only entangled with a few attacking forces for less than a night, and at dawn, the main force led by Liao Yaoxiang caught up! First, a large-caliber bombardment of artillery completely disrupted their deployment, and then the tank troops charged and crushed the blocking force, and then used their absolute advantage to slap around and killed them. Less than 500 living people were left in panic and retreated into the surrounding wilderness forests.
But these Japanese soldiers did not know that even the natives dared to enter the nearby mountains and forests. It was a death zone that devoured living people. All that was waiting for them was endless fear and torture!
At this point, the 55th Division had basically suffered all losses, and the rescue of Impal became a big joke.
The other two divisions of the 15th Japanese Army had just been dispatched to counterattack. The Xue Yue armored cluster and Sun Liren Division were running all the way forward. The vanguard rushed to the vicinity of Mandalay, scaring the British army so much that they asked them to launch a blocking attack on the spot. Nothing can be lost here!
Mandalay is the transportation center of the entire Myanmar. Once it is lost, not only the northern battlefield and even the Thai battlefield on the east side will be cut off, but the Ren'anqiang Oilfield not far away, the main road leading to India, and the gate to attack Yangon will be lost!
What's strange is that after the British commanders learned the news of the 55th Division's crushing defeat, they did not send condolences at the first time, but were conditioned suspicion. The Japanese were deliberately distracting themselves, stating conditions, deliberately slowing down their actions, exaggerating their losses, and trying to gain more benefits. They were lying!
So Lord Alexander and others came to a conclusion that the Japanese were unreliable, and our problems had to be solved by ourselves! He ordered Major General Scott to lead the First Division and the 17th Division that supplemented them, together with the Burmese colonial army, the army brought out from India, with a total of about 30,000 people, to set out from Mandalay to urgently reinforce Impal.
Relatively speaking, this road was developed earlier, the terrain was flatter, and the movement speed was several times faster. They rode trucks, JEEP vehicles, tanks and armored vehicles provided by the Americans, crossed the Bindun River in a vast expanse and arrived in Singer unimpededly. But here, their rapid march came to an abrupt end, and a Chinese airborne unit equipped with powerful and heavy weapons. With a large number of air force covers, they blocked their way with the fortifications built by the British before!
The anxious Major General Scott disagreed with the so-called powerful combat power of the Chinese. He always felt that the Japanese army was exaggerating and rushed forward with a brigade and a regiment of tanks. As a result, before running ten kilometers, he was beaten up by the sudden attack aircraft group, leaving hundreds of casualties and fleeing in a panic!
Major General Araki Masaoji, who brought a corps to help, was gloating. He thought to himself that now you know the pot was made of iron? The English ghost animals in Bageya Road finally realized the difficulties and pains of the Imperial Army. Humph, I deserve it!
Major General Scott was certainly unwilling to accept such a big loss. He was furious and asked the Air Force to immediately reinforce and must kill all the hateful Chinese planes to clear out a smooth road for them to advance.
At this time, he also understood why there were so many narrow mountains and winding roads along the way, and the enemy did not interfere with and block, because the vegetation and environment there were large air strikes and small results, unlike here. It had begun to enter the flat Impal Plain, lacking the cover of thick and tall vegetation and steep mountains, and their troops were completely exposed to the air force's overlook!
Major General Masashi Araki also figured out one thing. What the British said before, "The British army is still resisting tenaciously" is a huge lie! Let's ask, that's true. How did the Chinese airborne troops draw out their strength to block the southern passage? Such a large area, unless they completely kill the defenders, there is no power to calmly mobilize so many artillery fire and air force... Damn, there is also the air force! This place must have been built for the Chinese to use!
Masaji Araki gritted his teeth with hatred, Damn Yingmi ghosts! When did you throw away the battlefield? The enemy's air force can send out the battle, has it been like that from the beginning?
The 55th Division, it’s so unfair to die!
Masaji Araki immediately reported the news to the top, and then Teruchi Nakachi came to settle the score with anger with MacArthur and Alexander, and threw the telegram in front of them. The fire stinged: "Is this the mutual honesty and sincere cooperation you have always asked for? But why did you know that Impal had been occupied by the Chinese army, and you didn't report it, so that our 55th Division misjudged the enemy situation, resulting in such a major casualty?!"
The old devils feel sorry! The ones concentrated here are all the elite foundations of the Kwantung Army. If one dies, one is the real Japanese army. If they die, it means that they have completely lost their inheritance. Damn English-American ghost beasts will kill a division without reason!
I have to say that being a general is so thick-skinned. Lord Alexander answered seriously: "Actually, we are also confused by wrong information. Or Major General Slim's telegram was sent too hastily and was not very clear. Of course, after all, we are not sure now that the Chinese troops have truly occupied Impal. I believe that the soldiers of the British Empire will not give up easily, and they must be fighting fiercely."
"Your mom is so intense!"
Teraunuchi Shiyi wanted to borrow a Chinese swear word to express his anger. Not even a fool can tell the problem. He was very glad that he did not send the 15th and 33rd divisions, otherwise he might have filled in a pit that he didn't know how big it was!
It doesn't make sense to be reasonable, and he also realized that the coalition forces are actually very unfamiliar with China's strategies and tactics and are completely unacceptable. If they follow them to make trouble, they may have to be completely ruined by their old foundation. No, they must consider the way out!
In front, the British troops, who were angry and angry, gathered in the armored brigade and launched a fierce attack again. The air force arrived and launched a fierce entangled battle, with casualties rising minute by minute.
However, at this moment, the thing they were most worried about finally happened! Without warning, the main force of the China South China Sea Fleet quietly appeared on the water surface of the east side of Singapore. Taking advantage of the night, the twin-rotor heavy helicopter sent by the "Fish Nest" submersible jellyfish carried dozens of super-transformed soldiers. The elite Marine Corps team transported by more than a dozen air cushion landing crafts avoided their patrol forces and landed on the beach, and rushed in from behind in one go, easily solving the problem of the few British troops protecting the turret.
Subsequently, a large number of landing ships sent up all the elite troops of up to 20,000 divisions, completely occupying Singapore. Then, a missile cruiser was left to lead four heavy cruisers and more than a dozen destroyers to defend. The main force passed through Malacca surrounded by battleships and approached Chittagong, the Bay of Bengal!
This action was as fast as thunder, so fast that the coalition forces did not react at all. The precious radar they worked hard to build was useless. The coastal patrol ships were then easily sunk and did not play any role. The main coalition warships deployed nearby did not find any trace of the South China Sea Fleet, and they were completely unaware of how they came!
Of course, no one will tell them that Zhu Bin's men often use unconventional means, such as turning on the "mirage system" to engage in optical stealth camouflage or something. With advanced anti-submarine technology and the way to open the submarine, there will be no potential military force of the coalition forces or transport ships to find traces.
By the time they knew the exact news, the situation was no longer in their grasp!
Chapter completed!
