In the temporary headquarters of the 113th Regiment of the New 38th Division, an anxious Liu Fangwu was pacing back and forth. After the raid on Myitkyina began, the guard battalion and the 112th Regiment had successively received good news. One of them severely damaged the Japanese troops who were leaving the city for reinforcements.
One man captured the Myitkyina Airport without a single blow, but the 113th Regiment was unable to open up the situation.
In addition to the 113th Regiment, the 114th Regiment attacking from the north was also stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army!
The combat effectiveness of the 113th Japanese Infantry Regiment is indeed very strong. The soldiers of this infantry regiment are all drawn from the battlefields of North China and Central China. These Japanese veterans have served in the battlefields of China for more than four years. They can be said to have experienced hundreds of battles.
Whether it is his ability to adapt to the battlefield, his fighting will, or his technical and tactical qualities, they have all reached their peak.
In particular, the fortifications built by the Japanese army were almost impeccable!
Although the artillery battalion of the new 38th Division has 12 British 25-pound field guns, which are more powerful than the Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery, they are limited to the urban roadway terrain and basically lose their effectiveness after the two armies come into contact. On the contrary, the Japanese army has a large number of
The equipped grenade, however, poses a great threat to the enemy due to its simple operation and rapid maneuverability!
From 2:20 in the morning to 4:30 in the morning, Liu Fangwu's 113th Regiment attacked fiercely for more than two hours, but the battle line only advanced less than 100 meters, and the Japanese even fought back in the middle.
The 1st Company and 1st Platoon, which was responsible for the assault, were actually dumped by the Japanese army on the front line. More than 40 men died for the country!
Seeing that it would be dawn in a few hours, Liu Fangwu finally became anxious.
"Chief of Staff, I'll leave this to you." Liu Fangwu put on his military cap and immediately turned around and left the headquarters.
Less than 500 meters from the regiment headquarters, we crossed two streets and arrived at the front line of the battle. Tang Haoran, commander of the 1st Battalion who was directing the battle, rushed forward and gasped: "Regiment leader, why are you here?
"1 Battalion Commander Tang Haoran is a pretty boy, but at this moment, Zhang Fei has been blackened by the smoke, but he has unintentionally added a bit of masculinity.
"Stop talking nonsense, what's going on?" Liu Fangwu said angrily, "Why can't the gap be opened?"
"This group of little devils is very difficult, and their barricades are very tight. No matter which direction they attack, they will be covered by intensive crossfire!" Tang Haoran said with a grimace, "I have organized six commando teams.
, but they were all beaten back by the little devils, mainly because they didn’t take advantage of them, unless they pushed up the artillery battalion’s 25-pound field cannon and fired directly!”
"The field artillery is out of shells. It's useless to push them up." Liu Fangwu said angrily. The British didn't give many shells to begin with.
"Damn it, then we can only attack by force!" Tang Haoran punched the sandbag in front of him hatefully, then turned around and shouted in a ferocious voice, "If you are not afraid of death, just follow me, and you will risk your life this time.
Either the little Japs will die, or our brothers will die, fighting against the naughty little Japs!"
"Fight it, fight it!"
"I can't handle this stupid thing!"
"Sir, Banban, that's it."
"Damn it, the camp is already occupied, what else can we say?"
Seeing that the camp leader was actually going to take the lead in launching a desperate charge, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion immediately became commotion. They quickly fixed their bayonets one by one and gathered behind Tang Haoran as quickly as possible. Tang Haoran took the Stern from the guard.
He held the submachine gun and placed the helmet heavily on his head. Just as he was about to rush out of the position with his head in his arms, Liu Fangwu held him back.
"Wait a minute!" Liu Fangwu caught Tang Haoran and suddenly pointed his finger behind him and asked, "What is that?"
"What?" Tang Haoran subconsciously looked in the direction of Liu Fangwu's finger, and saw many black gasoline barrels piled in the yard not far behind, as well as several American Dodge trucks, and he immediately replied
, "Maybe it's gasoline. This should be the Japanese logistics warehouse. There were dozens of Japanese soldiers guarding it just now, but let us destroy it."
Liu Fangwu suddenly perked up and said anxiously, "Send someone up to see if it's empty or full."
Tang Haoran immediately sent someone to check. The soldiers sent to check quickly came back and gasped: "The regimental seats are full, and all the barrels are filled with gasoline!"
"Haha!" Liu Fangwu immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, "You deserve this little devil's misfortune!"
After that, Liu Fangwu said to Tang Haoran: "Send someone immediately to fill those cars with oil drums, quickly!"
Tang Haoran immediately understood Liu Fangwu's intention, and immediately led people to load dozens of barrels of gasoline into six trucks. Tang Haoran then took out the suicide note he had written long ago from his jacket pocket and handed it to Liu Fangwu.
: "Tuanzi, my mother is in Shuijing Lane, Kunming. If you have the opportunity to return to China, please be sure to give this suicide note to her!"
Before he finished speaking, the suicide note in Tang Haoran's hand had been patted on the ground by his aide-de-camp.
"I'll go to the camp!" Before Tang Haoran and Liu Fangwu could react, the adjutant had already grabbed the car, closed the door, started the car as fast as possible, and kicked the accelerator, fully loaded with more than a dozen barrels.
The gasoline-powered Dodge truck immediately rushed out with a roar, spitting billowing black smoke and rushed towards the Japanese position dozens of meters away.
Vaguely, Tang Haoran seemed to hear the adjutant shouting: "At the camp, I went to find Lao Cheng and the others. During the holidays, don't forget to pour a few glasses of leftover water and wine in front of our tombstone, hahaha
…”
"Good brother..." Tang Haoran murmured, two lines of hot tears already streaming down his eyes!
Liu Fangwu, who was next to him, suddenly turned away and raised his head slightly, trying not to cry on the spot!
The Japanese troops on the opposite side were clearly aware of the danger and concentrated almost all their firepower on the Dodge truck that was speeding forward. The glass of the truck cab was quickly shattered. The adjutant was also hit by dozens of bullets and his chest was bruised.
Sieve, but miraculously did not die. With his tenacious will, he stepped on the accelerator and continued to gallop forward...
The distance of tens of meters passed in an instant, and the Dodge truck hit the Japanese barricade hard!
Almost at the same time, blazing flames emerged from the cabin of the Dodge truck. The intensive fire from the Japanese machine guns had penetrated almost all the gasoline barrels. The gasoline overflowing from the bullet holes was quickly ignited, and in the extreme
In a short period of time, the entire Dodge truck was completely engulfed in rolling flames.
The Japanese soldiers behind the barricade finally panicked and got up to dodge.
However, when I thought of escaping at this time, it was already too late!
Before the Japanese troops could run away, more than a dozen oil barrels exploded. With the huge explosion, thousands of kilograms of gasoline were lifted into the air by the air wave generated by the explosion. When they fell again, they formed a circle with a radius of more than three meters.
The ten-meter oil curtain instantly caused everything under the oil curtain to burn, including dozens of Japanese soldiers!
Central city, Japanese military headquarters.
Takeuchi Renzan, deputy commander of the 113th Japanese Infantry Regiment, hurried into the war room and reported angrily to Colonel Matsui Hideharu: "Your Excellency, Colonel, the Chinese Army attacking from the southern front has continuously broken through the six lines of defense of the Imperial Army.
We are less than a hundred meters away from the headquarters! Your Excellency, Colonel, you’d better retreat first!”
"Baga!" Matsui Hideharu roared loudly, "No retreat, no!"
After that, Matsui Hideharu drew out his saber again, struck it twice in the air, and said in a ferocious voice: "The Japanese Imperial Army will not lose to the China Army, never! Order, immediately organize troops and counterattack,
Immediately launch a counterattack against the Chinese Army and drive out the Chinese Army that broke into the central city, quickly!"
"Your Majesty Colonel, the Chinese Army has broken into the headquarters!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the major staff officer rushed in panting. Matsui Hideharu became furious and chopped the major staff officer to the ground with a knife. He immediately said to the deputy commander Takeuchi Renzan: "Takeuchi-kun, kill him immediately.
All personnel in the headquarters are organized to make a last-ditch resistance..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hail of machine gun bullets penetrated the door and shot in.
Matsui Hideharu and Takeuchi Renzan who were close to the gate were shot at the same time. Takeuchi Renzan was shot directly through the heart by the bullet and fell down without saying a word. However, Matsui Hideharu was only seriously injured. His body suddenly swayed and he hurriedly used his saber to stabilize the ground.
He froze, and soon the door of the war room was kicked open hard, and a group of Chinese soldiers poured in like wolves with bayonets in hand.
Effective in Myitkyina City, the new 38th Division temporary headquarters.
It was past six o'clock in the morning, and the eastern sky was already slightly white.
The 112th Regiment has successfully captured the Myitkyina Airport, and the mission given to the New 38th Division by Yue Weihan has been completed. However, there has been no news about the 113th Regiment and the 114th Regiment attacking Myitkyina City. Sun Liren raised his wrist again and looked at his watch.
, he has repeated this action nine times in just ten minutes!
When Sun Liren raised his wrist for the tenth time, the adjutant suddenly rushed in and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master, after four hours of fierce fighting, Liu Fangwu's 113th regiment was the first to break through the Japanese defense line and destroy the Japanese infantry in one fell swoop.
The headquarters of the 113th Regiment, the deputy commander of the 113th Regiment, Renzan Takeuchi, and more than a dozen people were killed, and the commander of the 113th Regiment, Hideharu Matsui, and more than a hundred people were captured alive!"
Sun Liren breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart that had jumped into his throat finally fell back into his stomach. The 113th Japanese Infantry Regiment was finally wiped out, and Myitkyina was finally captured by the New 38th Division!
"Chief of Staff, let's go!" Sun Liren picked up his military cap and put it heavily on his head, then turned back to the Chief of Staff and said, "Enter the city!"
Central city, Japanese military headquarters.
Tang Haoran was leading people to clean the battlefield, while Liu Fangwu stood in front of the Japanese map hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back.
Liu Fangwu compared the military map drawn by the Japanese army with the map of Myanmar provided by the British to the expeditionary force. He soon discovered that the British had tampered with the map. The map drawn by the Japanese army was far more accurate than the map provided by the British.
, in more detail, many mountains, rivers and villages that were not marked at all on British maps were marked on Japanese maps.
"Damn British guys!" Liu Fangwu thought bitterly, "Next time the Emperor is surrounded by the Japanese army, there will be no way to save him!"
"Team leader, look at these!" When Liu Fangwu was slandering the British, Tang Haoran's voice suddenly came from behind him. Tang Haoran's voice obviously changed the tone. Liu Fangwu turned around after hearing the sound, but found that Tang Haoran's expression also changed.
Something was a little abnormal. The excitement of just winning the battle was gone, replaced by a beast-like ferocity!
Catching Liu Fangwu's gaze, Tang Haoran suddenly handed the stack of photos forward.
Liu Fangwu took the photo, and his expression immediately changed, becoming as ferocious as Tang Haoran in an instant!
This is a stack of photos of the Japanese army massacring Chinese people in the Songhu area, and there are actually notes from the photographer next to them!
The first photo: A naked young woman curled up into a ball, raising her thighs and calves to cover the private parts of her chest and abdomen as much as possible, but her hands were tightly protecting her neck. She was obviously conscious.
When you reach your end, you try to make a last-ditch effort to save your own destiny...
However, under the saber of the Japanese invaders, all this was in vain.
The Japanese invader's saber cut through the young woman's neck in an instant. The young woman's head had already flown away from her neck. At the broken point, the dense white bones and blurred flesh were clearly visible, and blood spattered out. The young woman's small mouth was open, as if
While screaming, her expression was distorted, and her eyes were full of unwillingness, fear, hatred, and nostalgia for the world...
On the back of the photo, there is a note from the Japanese photographer: The Battle of Songhu was over and the photo was taken in Changshu County.
The second photo: A Japanese prisoner of war fell to the ground with his hands tied behind his back. His left leg had been stripped of all the muscles, veins and flesh by the Japanese army, leaving only the white leg bones, and there were still holes under the leg bones.
Along with the soles of his feet, which had also been stripped of flesh, the Japanese prisoner of war had not yet breathed his last. You can fully imagine the pain he was suffering at this time, but he gritted his teeth!
Liu Fangwu's eyes turned red instantly. This Japanese prisoner of war was wearing a black uniform. He was a soldier of the Tax Police Corps!
"Commander, kill all the little Japs you captured alive!" Tang Haoran's forehead had veins like earthworms popping out, and the expression on his face was even more ferocious than a ghost. The *** soldier in the second photo was not only
They are soldiers of the Tax Police Corps, and they are also soldiers of Tang Haoran. During the Battle of Songhu, Tang Haoran was just a platoon leader, and the soldiers in the photo were his orderlies!
"Whoever dares to kill prisoners of war indiscriminately will be dismissed from his post!" Sun Liren's voice suddenly came from outside the war room.
When Liu Fangwu and Tang Haoran stood up and looked back, they saw Sun Liren striding into the war room.
"Tang Haoran, please don't act recklessly." Sun Liren glared at Tang Haoran and said, "Prisoners of war cannot be killed!"
"Teacher, you'd better take a look at this first!" Liu Fangwu didn't defend himself, but just handed over the photo in his hand.
Sun Liren subconsciously took the photo. After looking at the photo, his expression suddenly changed. After looking at the last photo, Sun Liren's face was already clouded. He immediately ordered in a ferocious voice: "Chief of Staff, go check it out immediately. Look.
Which prisoners of war have been to the Chinese battlefield? Anyone who has been to China must dig a hole and bury them alive!"
