"Those Chinese people were like demons on a rainy night. They suddenly appeared in front of the defenders during the heavy rain. They were not afraid of death or injury. They were covered in mud and just rushed to the defenders' position. Then they fired countless grenades.
Fallen in the trenches.
The soldiers responsible for defending the position were all slaughtered in this way, and in less than twenty minutes, the entire position was declared lost." "Asahi Shimbun"
The dispatch corps' sudden attack on the east side of Turululu Mountain not only caught the defenders off guard. After an hour of fighting, more than 2,300 Japanese troops stationed on the east side of Turululu Mountain, including the Ueda detachment who had just arrived for reinforcements, and Japanese commanders
Colonel Terui Koji was all killed in battle.
The fall of the east side of Turululu Mountain announced that the Japanese defense line on Turululu Mountain had been torn open, and it was only a matter of time before it was completely lost.
After learning that the troops had fully occupied the eastern defense line of Tululu Mountain, Chi Yaohui happily suggested to Gao Hongming:
"Sir...what a good opportunity. We can take advantage of this moment before the Japanese defenders have time to react and continue to attack Turululu Mountain. We will continue to attack until we join forces with the American troops attacking the south of Turululu Mountain."
Gao Hongming looked at the smoke billowing from the forward position, then looked at the exhausted but still insisting on fighting soldiers from the dispatch corps, who rejected Chi Yaohui's proposal.
"We fought continuously for a week, from officers to soldiers, and never got a complete chance to rest and recuperate.
I have never doubted the fighting will of my brothers, but the soldiers are not iron men after all. Pass my order to slow down the attack and stay in place. I will order the air force to further increase the bombing of various parts of Turululu Mountain.
Didn't General Julian always ask our aircraft to increase reinforcements to the Second Marine Division? As he wished, we ordered the Second Fighter Squadron to transfer their command to the Second Marine Division from now on.
Command, this order remains in effect until the entire Turululu Mountains are captured."
"The group is wise!"
Looking at Gao Hongming's smiling face, Chi Yaohui suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up.
As the saying goes, a man's tongue is short and his hand is soft. Today, the Second Marine Division is engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army in the south. Julian is looking all over the world for heavy artillery, aircraft and even any trace of personnel and weapons that can increase the combat power of the US military.
Faced with a squadron of fighter jets falling from the sky, Julian would definitely accept the favor.
In this case, he was naturally embarrassed to make any trouble behind his back or ask Lieutenant General Spruance to transfer the dispatch group to support the Second Marine Division. In this way, the dispatch group naturally got a rare rest time.
In fact, when Julian received Gao Hongming's offer to transfer a Panda fighter squadron to the Second Marine Division, he almost jumped with joy.
"Great, we finally have air support. That bastard finally did something good today and was willing to give us his plane."
The chief of staff had a different opinion on this: "Sir, this is indeed a good thing, but since those Chinese people have occupied the eastern position, why don't they attack the Japanese from both sides with us, but hide aside and watch the fun."
"Tom, are you a fool?"
Julian looked at his chief of staff as if he were a fool, "The Chinese have completed their mission, why can't they rest?"
"But..." The chief of staff wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Julian.
"Okay, I know what you want to say, but you have to remember that they are just our allies, not the US military. From their standpoint, it is very rare to allocate a squadron of aircraft to us, and I also
I have to accept this favor from him, do you understand?"
"Sir, of course I know this truth, but I'm just not convinced. Why can the Chinese people just watch from the sidelines, but we still have to fight to the death with the Japanese monkeys in the mire?"
After speaking, the chief of staff's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
During the more than ten days of fighting, the four infantry regiments of the Second Marine Division took turns participating in the battle. Almost every regiment suffered a large number of casualties, especially the casualty rate of the Eighth Marine Regiment as high as 35%. This was
For the U.S. military, which has not had a war for decades, this is already a very serious casualty.
"That's enough Tom!"
Julian suddenly shouted loudly, pointed to the east and said loudly: "Do you know how many casualties the Chinese Expeditionary Forces suffered in the east?
They have been here for more than two months, and their soldiers have been replaced several times during these two months. They have the highest casualty rate, but have you ever seen them complain?"
"But general, don't you dislike those Chinese people? Otherwise, you wouldn't have caused trouble to those Chinese people several times?" the chief of staff asked in confusion.
"I don't like those Chinese people, but that doesn't mean I have to ignore the facts. They helped us, and we have to recognize this favor. Do you understand?"
The chief of staff was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and said, "General, I understand."
"As long as you know."
Julian nodded, "You immediately send a report to your Chinese Second Flying Squadron and ask them to dispatch immediately to carry out coverage bombing on the south side of Turululu Mountain...remember...use white phosphorus bombs."
When he said this, Julian's expression was particularly calm, and he seemed not to realize how many Japanese would die because of this order.
In fact, this was indeed the case. When twenty-four Panda fighter planes flew to the south of Tululu Mountain and dropped all the white phosphorus bombs they carried on the top of the mountain, even the attacking American soldiers were stunned.
Some people say that this is not the rainy season. There is water everywhere on the mountain. Isn’t setting fires at this time in vain?
But the truth is exactly the opposite. When more than twenty Panda fighter jets dropped white phosphorus bombs on the Japanese position, the entire position immediately fell into disaster.
The Japanese position first ignited a pale white flame, and then the entire position immediately fell into a sea of fire. Not only that, when the white phosphorus bomb burned, the temperature would reach thousands of degrees Celsius, and it would also emit a large amount of strong white toxic gas.
Even if many Japanese soldiers were not hit by flying white phosphorus bombs, smelling the white gas would cause them to cough, irritate their eyes and lead to blindness.
What's more, those Japanese soldiers whose bodies were touched by the splashing white phosphorus would soon turn into burning figures, and finally be burned to coke.
Of course, there were also "smart" Japanese soldiers who immediately jumped into the water after being shot.
They found that when the body was immersed in the water, the originally burning white phosphorus was quickly extinguished. However, these people were not happy for long. When these wise men stood up from the water, the white phosphorus that came into contact with the air burned again. Finally, these People still only end up being burned alive.
