985 Tropical Thunder (5) Secret Infiltration(1/2)
Being severely attacked in front of the big boss, if you don't make a show of it, it will really be a waste of time and money.
If it were not for repeated orders from the war zone, defense and counterattacks should be the main focus. Without unified deployment and mobilization, local forces should not be allowed to go deep alone. This would mess up the overall plan. According to Liu Shiyi's idea, he would simply lead an army by himself.
Send troops directly into Vietnam, leaving no one behind!
Commander Liu has great confidence in the ability of his troops. Even if he faced the fierce and brave allied forces of little Japanese and foreign Japanese, he could still put them away with his iron-blooded and experienced warriors. The children of Bagui have always been
Brave and naturally good at fighting in mountains and jungles, coupled with advanced weapons and equipment, victory is easy to come by!
In fact, it was not just his commander who was angry in his heart. The soldiers on the front line and the middle and lower-level officers had long been unable to restrain their anger and wanted to kill them and make military exploits. The Japanese army here suddenly launched a fierce attack.
A well-hidden one
The forward base and mountain fortifications were exposed, and countless soldiers rushed out in groups along the valleys, dense forests, ditches and rivers. The soldiers were all boiling with blood. For a moment, they forgot about the sticky and wet feeling, and fired guns and guns in full swing.
stand up!
From Banzhuang on the northwest border, to the highlands of Nong Huaijian Mountain, to Zhennanguan, the main attack area of Tongdeng Line, to Jiamu Mountain, the steep forest of Kak Khao Mountain, and even Beishan Mountain that threatens Lang Son, Gao Lu
In the county area, tens of thousands of troops were scattered among the high mountains, each using a small force to kill each other unceremoniously!
The Japanese army's offensive for many days has been mainly probing. In the past half month of the official offensive, the total exposed forward force was less than 100,000, especially in front of Lang Son, there were only two divisions. Among them, there were only two divisions.
With the 18th Division as the main force, most of the force was withdrawn.
Today, after receiving the general offensive order from the headquarters, the heavy artillery positions prepared a year in advance were exposed. Heavy weapons, headed by 150mm and 155mm large-caliber cannons, were fired continuously towards the Chinese border, making loud rumbling noises.
The silent night sky was torn apart, and the front of the two-hundred-kilometer-wide position was filled with flames!
The soldiers of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, which was basically organized into squadrons and brigades, burst out with hysterical shouts in their throats. They suddenly rushed out from the suffocating caves where soldiers were hiding. Their bodies were wrapped in camouflage blades of grass and their eyes were fierce.
Holding an American-made M1 Garand large eight-grain semi-automatic rifle in their hands, they opened fire while using their bayonets to push aside the bushes and thatch. They rushed directly to the positions blocking them in front of them!
In the dark, shouts suddenly erupted from all directions. After echoing in the mountains and fields, it was impossible to hear where they originated. The shouts of hundreds of people were amplified and sounded like thousands of troops. Give the Japanese army this
This customary pig attack tactic adds a terrifying momentum!
The Japanese army has been training for a long time and is particularly good at wave-type attacks. It has been fully utilized in the mountainous jungle environment of Vietnam. It is almost tailor-made for them. Hundreds or thousands of people are divided into three or five waves, along the
The barely passable mountain forest and valley roads were full of chaotic conflicts. Under the flash of explosions of flares and artillery shells, the shadows seemed endless!
The dense and dark mountain forest is where the two sides hide the most troops. If they do not make any noise during the night confrontation, they may not find each other until right under their noses. However, in the early testing, the Japanese army found that this kind of trick cannot be concealed by a large number of infrared night vision equipment.
The Chinese soldiers with equipment should simply change their thinking!
The moment the Japanese army broke out to attack, the defenders of the 31st Army, who had become accustomed to this kind of night battle rhythm, immediately fired flares into the air in pieces without saying a word. Hundreds of little suns hanging with small umbrellas came from the dense forest.
shake above
Swinging down, the forest and grass in front of the illuminated area, which had been mostly cleared by crossfire, flickered in and out; the low body of the Japanese soldier wearing an American green military uniform flashed out quickly, and the sharp blade reflected the cold light!
"The little devil is coming up! Brothers! Kill them!"
"Hit him! Wipe out the little devils completely! Fire!"
"shooting!"
...The fearless Guangxi soldiers burst out with astonishing power from their short bodies. Shouts of southern and northern accents were mixed with the fierce roar of machine guns. Almost every swaying enemy figure attracted bullets like a downpour.
They swarm you, no matter you are flesh and blood, you are just like an elephant, you can be torn into pieces in the blink of an eye!
As soon as the two sides started exchanging fire, they went straight to the battlefield!
The Japanese army dispatched a total of more than two hundred artillery pieces of various calibers, and the fierce bombardment spread over the mountains and plains, setting up walls of fire. Then most of the 18th Division was thrown out, and a total of 20,000 people launched crazy assaults across every valley.
!
They are equipped with all American equipment. In addition to rifles, they are also equipped with heavy BAR light machine guns, Thompson submachine guns, and a large number of m1919a4 air-cooled heavy machine guns. Their short and stocky bodies are lined with weapons completely developed for the big foreign devils. They have an inexplicable aura.
There was a sense of disobedience, but coupled with their ferocity and bravery, they exploded with a terrifying combat effectiveness that was at least three to five times that of the previous Japanese army!
With the support of the Americans, the Japanese army did not have to buckle the ropes to save ammunition as before. The charging soldiers kept pulling the triggers while marching until the bullet bridge jumped out with a crisp "thud".
Those holding the submachine gun and the bar were holding the trigger in the same posture without letting go. Even though they were staggering due to the huge recoil, and the trajectory was curved like a convulsion, and they were completely inaccurate, because there were enough of them, they were able to hit a large number of pieces.
A dense network of fire!
But their opponents are even better! In terms of the quality of weapons and equipment and the density of ammunition delivery, they are far superior!
Although not all the five to six million troops in the country are equipped with the latest m1926 gun family 6mm caliber weapons, Zhu Bin still ensured that all troops on the front line of the battlefield will use them, and there will be no shortage of ammunition. A squad will use at least two of 30
magazine firing
A rifle, or a semi-automatic rifle with a 10-round or 20-round magazine, a squad machine gun, each platoon's machine gun squad is equipped with the ferocious firepower of two 12.7mm heavy machine guns, and the density and sustainability of frontal fire. That is not the Japanese army at all.
Nothing can compare!
In particular, the number of ammunition carried by a single soldier and the rate of fire per unit time are at least twice that of the opponent. It also has night reconnaissance and infrared night vision to assist command, early firing, cross-strike, and all-round coverage capabilities, making it even more superior.
!
Liu Shiyi's issuing of orders was just the icing on the cake. The front lines had already figured out the tactics, and the firefight began. Each position was fought smoothly and crisply!
The short Japanese soldiers moved quickly with two bow legs, nimbly crossing the craters and the vine roots crawling all over the ground. Their straight bayonets moved forward, the muzzle flames flashed continuously, and their cries like ghosts and wolves howled so loudly that no other sound could be heard in the battlefield.
.
On the opposite side of their charge, a series of 12.7mm heavy machine guns emitted sonorous and powerful explosions. The finger-thick bullets whizzed through the mountains and forests like wind. The green trees were broken in half and smashed into pieces. The Japanese soldiers who were hit were either gutted or torn apart.
, or with broken limbs or broken body, as long as you are shot, there is almost no way to survive!
After a few minutes of strafing, one bullet chain was fired, and green faults suddenly appeared one kilometer deep in front of them. There were countless moaning and wailing Japanese soldiers among them, and it was a violent mess!
Almost every battlefield was filled with such fierce and ferocious firefights. The temporary casualties could not make the Japanese army retreat. The disastrous defeat of the first wave caused the second wave of people to immediately mobilize mortars and bazooka rocket launchers to make up for it.
After a targeted attack or artillery bombardment, the attack continues with a tidal wave of impact that seems to be endless...
In the night sky, flashes of flashes of explosions pierced the hazy clouds and disappeared in an instant. The slow and clumsy figure of the night fighter, which quietly broke through from low altitude, also fell into the radar's detection field of view. A piercing air defense siren immediately sounded over Ningming.
, the artillery fire set up on the outer hilltop responded immediately, tracer bullets criss-crossed, suddenly pounced on, and exploded with brilliant brilliance all over the sky!
Zhu Bin and the others had just finished wrangling, and before they had time to rest, the sudden attack alarm shocked all the guards. Bai Chongxi seemed to have received great news, and rushed in with a serious face, saying hurriedly:
"Commander! The enemy seems to have noticed your whereabouts, and is afraid of a sudden attack. For safety reasons, please leave immediately on a special plane!"
He was eager to use this as an excuse to coax Zhu Bin away and save him trouble.
Zhu Bin said with a serious face: "Our security capabilities are not that bad yet. This is just a coincidence! Besides, since the war started, has the enemy not launched several air raids on any day? There is no need to make a fuss. Besides,
The soldiers at the front are fighting bloody battles, how can we escape before the battle? I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here to cheer for the soldiers!"
"You... ugh!"
Bai Chongxi scratched his head anxiously. He had learned a lesson from Zhu Bin's capriciousness. This guy didn't know what it meant to be shameless. As long as he could follow his temper, he didn't care whether others understood or liked him and just made excuses.
Prevarication is so outrageous!
This is also Zhu Bin's unusual point. People in the Republic of China, no matter how bad men were thieves and women were prostitutes behind their backs, on the surface, they all had to put on a show to save face. For example, Chiang Kai-shek and others would never do it for personal reasons.
Some people will act willfully and recklessly---although most of the time, what they think is serious business is often bad news.
But those are two different things. In the mouths of every big shot, those things that are said back and forth are "national affairs." How can one ignore the overall situation for his own selfishness?
Zhu Bin was actually very happy in his heart. He wished that the enemy's attack would be more violent. In that way, he would be able to create a more upright image of being unafraid in the face of danger and facing difficulties and dangers head-on. In other words, if the enemy is too bad, if he can rush to
You can do it yourself if you are close by, how enjoyable it is!
He didn't guess that his wild thoughts would be correct inadvertently! Under the cover of the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Japanese troops, an elite "special forces" was quietly approaching this way!
Yamashita Fengwen's order is not a blind cat that kills a mouse. He has strictly analyzed and calculated it.
As for the situation in Guangxi, the Japanese army had a clear picture of the situation in Guangxi many years ago when they served as instructors and staff advisors to Li Zongren's troops. The military maps they drew were several times more accurate than the Chinese's own. After days of fighting, all aspects of the battle
Based on the intelligence gathered, he could determine that the opponent in front of him had his headquarters in Nanning, and his front finger was clearly placed in Ning.
With this judgment, it is not difficult to go further. Besides, he also needs to win a decisive victory to strengthen his army. Nanning is too far away, nearly two hundred kilometers away. The troops cannot reach it at all, and Qinzhou has the South China Sea.
The fleet and coastal defense forces were on alert. The coalition ships were even blocked outside the Gulf of Tonkin. They couldn't even think about it.
Only Ningming is the most suitable!
Under the cover of the shouts of death, explosions, and the bloody fighting of thousands of people all over the front, the elite troops led by Colonel Fujita Musashi floated down the river in a raft, stumbling from Silingshui into the Palian River.
This road is not smooth. The upper half of the Silingshui River is narrow and winding, with an average of four to five hundred meters in one bend. There are also a lot of narrow rapids that drop rapidly. If you are not familiar with it, you may be careless.
My head was bruised and bloody!
Moreover, the amount of water in this section of the river is limited, and a team of five or six people cannot walk on the raft at all, so they have to put two people on it at a time and carry most of the weapons and ammunition, and the rest of the people hold on to the ropes on the side and follow the river.
Float down!
The river is not unobstructed. Since we can walk together here, how can the Chinese troops on the defensive side leave such a big loophole? Almost every village along the river bank has checkpoints set up by militiamen, who are on duty day and night.
Dare to slack off. Some are even very vicious and insert rows of sharpened bamboos under the water. They can't see clearly in the dark at night. If they accidentally bump into them, "bang", the raft will explode, causing a lot of jumping.
!
Similar dangers occurred seven or eight times in a row, each time frightening the small team at the front. Several of them were deceived under the pretext of "performing special missions". The lack of training of the militiamen probably did not expect that the Japanese army could disguise themselves.
They were so good, but due to carelessness, they either passed the level or were killed by a sudden attack by this elite group of Japanese troops.
However, Fujita and the others were not unscathed. Just soaking in the cold water for most of the night made them exhausted. What was even worse was the wounds that were scratched by bamboo sticks or bumped on rocks. They were so numb that they didn't notice them for a while.
They bled excessively, and what was even more unlucky was that swarms of locusts pounced on them following the bloody trail. Four soldiers actually died after being sucked dry by the locusts!
