Chapter 301: Take the oil field
The greatest physical exertion in the construction of fortifications is the harvesting and transportation of logs. Pinshu.com The designer of the small room Nakasa knew that the big trees on the position could be used as a cover for the position, and could not be cut down.
In this way, the required timber was harvested from the dense forests in the valley south of the main position. You can imagine how hard it was to carry the pine trees on the winding mountain roads with homemade tractors and manpower. The Japanese army's fanaticism for the "Greater East Asian Holy War" was almost crazy and incredible.
Before the war, Matsuyama was a barren mountain, with only Japanese military fortifications and almost no civilian buildings. Each position in Songshan looks like a turtle's back, and the center is the main fort.
There were several sub-forts or concealments nearby, connected by cobweb-like trenches and tunnels, each with machine-gun fire directed in all directions. The principle is not to make gaps in their own positions, and the vitality of several adjacent positions is to cooperate with each other in flanking defense, completely eliminating each other's firepower blind spots.
Some of the bases are equipped with barbed wire, and two or three more roads are set up around the outskirts of the base group, each 4 meters deep, and fixed with two-meter-high wooden or iron piles. The innermost layer of the stronghold is also set up with an iron sheet net, which is 2~5 cm wide and nailed to a wooden post. At road intersections, it is mostly used to open and close the horse. In front of the dead corners and barbed wire fences on key highways, mines and alternative mines restructured with artillery shell fuses are also laid.
Wei Lihuang was greatly surprised after watching it, he knew that many people would die if it was captured! Hu Zhiyong's three shells not only killed the enemy and detonated mines, but also preserved all the buildings, weapons, and materials intact!
"Such a weapon is good!" Du Yuming smacked his tongue in shock: "It's okay to use it to fight foreign enemies, but if it's a civil war, it's a bit too cruel!" β
"He won't use it lightly!" Wei Lihuang shook his head, sure that Hu Zhiyong would not use such a powerful shell indiscriminately.
The supplies were cleaned up for a whole day, and finally, all the fortifications were sealed with cement. In the afternoon of the same day, the troops attacked together and finally took all the towns! The commander of the 55th Division was killed by a shell, and the commander of the 56th Division, Major General Minakami Genzo, absconded to the east bank of the Ijiang River and shot himself under a large tree.
A total of 13,400 Japanese soldiers were killed in this battle, and the exposed Japanese soldiers fled to the mountains and never dared to come out again! At noon the next day, Hou Dashun received a telegram from the Blood Wolf Clan: "All the north of Pyinmana has been recovered, and Ringanqiang, the crude oil producing area of Burma, has been occupied by us!" If you find a large number of foreigners here, please tell me what to do! β
"Give it to General Wei Lihuang, and give the credit to the Nationalist Government!" Hou Dashun smiled evilly: "General Wei, are you satisfied with this?" β
"Not satisfied." Wei Lihuang said unceremoniously: "I am satisfied with sending them to Chongqing by plane." β
"Phew, let them fly on my plane? Dream! Hou Dashun said unscrupulously: "Tell them that there are many cars pulling wood, please get in the car if you are willing to go, and stay here to work for me if you are not willing!" β
"Ahh Wei Lihuang was surprised: "They are international friends!" β
"Bullshit, they never regard Chinese people as friendship and friends!" Hou Dashun frowned: "Execute the order!" β
"Yes!"
The European battlefield has been mainly reflected in the two military powers of the Soviet Union and Germany in recent times. Since the beginning of the war, the Soviet Union has lost 14.67 million troops, of which about 8 million to 9 million are irreversible.
Germany had more than 8 million regular troops, and although Tianhua no longer sent supplies to him, it did not restrict them from purchasing them in Hong Kong. There are sharp air forces, artillery and tanks, depending on whose tactics are a little more clever.
In Southeast Asia, the Japanese army gradually occupied many places, and major battles were not over, but small encirclement and suppression, and sneak attacks were staged all the time. The islanders are very depressed, their forces are pinned, and once they leave, the island that they have finally gotten their hands on will change to a new owner in an instant.
The situation in Burma was the most optimistic, and Hou Dashun deployed his troops on the front line of Pinma, and used small forces to constantly attack the Japanese army. Having lost the 55th and 56th divisions, the islanders understood: "If we don't increase our troops, Burma will be controlled by the Chinese people!" β
A division from Taiwan entered the trenches after coming ashore in Yangon. Hou Dashun's air force first started a bloody battle with the Japanese air force! Three air divisions dealt with 400 Japanese aircraft, and each side was using its own advantages to strike at the weakness of the other side!
After taking the oil field, Hou Dashun came to inspect. More than 500 captured British soldiers, American missionaries, and journalists were rescued from danger, and they demanded that more than 100 captured Japanese vehicles be used to take refuge in Chongqing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, cars are the most critical supplies of the war, and I can't stop and continue the offensive just because I am sending you! It's good to take a wooden car, you can enjoy the scenery and be cool, and the national government will send a car to pick you up after arriving in Yunnan. β
Hou Dashun's gentle tone, and then a sad face: "We have no food, no drink, almost stopped, and all the medicines have been consumed." You know the news of the little devil's army increase, right? I'm afraidβ"
"Let's go, take the timber cart!" The British spoke, and they understood the situation of Huaxia that it was more dangerous to stay here.
Sending away this group of gringos, Wei Lihuang smiled: "Commander, you don't seem to have a good impression of their country." β
"How do the Burmese treat us?" Hou Dashun did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Good!" Wei Lihuang sighed: "You gave them a comfortable life, can they not say hello?" β
"How do Britain, France, the United States and other countries treat us?" Hou Dashun said sharply: "People change people's hearts for people's hearts, eight taels for half a catty, people who don't respect the Chinese nation are not worthy of our flattery and flattery!" β
Everyone is reminiscing, what Hou Dashun said is the truth, and all of them have experienced it personally. The country is weak, and it is inevitable that it will not be devalued by people who are strong. Ringanqiang is a major oil production center in Burma, which was mined in 1887. There is a pipeline directly connected to the oil refining center of Salem, southeast of Yangon, with a total length of 440 kilometers.
Production resumed, crude oil was transported in barrels to the Nanhai refinery. Seeing the new oil workers fighting, Hou Dashun said to one of the regiment commanders who defended here: "Be careful, the little devil will not be willing to lose here!" β
"Yes!"
The sky is high and the clouds are light, looking to the south, on a wilderness, there are rows of tall derricks, which is the Ren'anqiang oil field. There are oil pipes, oil tanks, and oil drums everywhere, and a single shot can ignite a fire.
Hou Dashun frowned: "This won't work, the defensive pressure is too great!" Old regiment commander, the recruit unit has transferred a division, clean up this place for me! β
"Yes!" Huang Jinshan agreed, and hurriedly transferred a division of the 66th Army here.
"Report, a cavalry detachment and a tank brigade of the Japanese army are moving here!"
"Order the Air Force to take off, and after the bombing, our tanks will counterattack the Japanese army!" Hou Dashun was not surprised at all, the oil field is the most important thing for devils, and they will continue to make trouble.
"Yes!"
The Japanese army lost Myitkyina, and once they lost the Ringanqiang oil field, everything in Burma would be completely finished! The commander of the Burmese Front, Ah San Zhengsan, wanted to send heavy troops, but he knew that there were less than three divisions left in his hands, and at most 60,000 people!
The sound of the plane's bombing made his face change suddenly. He knew that the Chinese had plenty of artillery shells and a large number of men, and if they attacked at this time, their troops could only retreat to the sea or to Thailand.
Yangon Province is the grain-producing area of Myanmar, and the area around Gongchegou and Dayi is the main grain-producing area of Yangon Province, where one season of rice is planted every year, rice is planted in May, harvested in November, and one season of garlic is planted during the period.
The middle Irrawaddy plain also produces sesame, peanuts, cotton and tobacco, and is also an important cattle-raising area. Lao Jiang sent several telegrams to urge, but Hou Dashun was still not in a hurry.
Wei Lihuang was anxious, but he thought Hou Dashun's tactics were correct. The sneak attack of the small force for many days has caused the devils to shrink to key areas. He knew that this young commander was going to act, and it was a big battle that ate the Japanese army!
"Chief of Staff, where do you think the attack is appropriate?" Hou Dashun looked at the map, and listened carefully to the sound of aircraft bombing in the distance.
"Avoid Rangoon and the docks, and clear the Japanese troops on the periphery first!" Wei Lihuang is a very capable military strategist, and after working with Hou Dashun for so long, he is not only familiar with the situation of this army, but also knows the tactics that these people are best at using.
"Okay, the battle plan is up to you, and the full-scale attack will start in three days!" Hou Dashun is in a hurry, if he doesn't destroy the Japanese army, he has to drive out this group of flies!
"Yes!"
At the headquarters of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army in Yangon, Shojiro Iida was full of anger. Hou Dashun did not seek a decisive battle with his large army, but swept his small town defenses everywhere.
The tea set on the table had been broken by him. His men were being eaten away little by little, and he could only huddle in the basement and get angry. There are two infantry wings and one mountain artillery wing stationed in the city, and 36 75mm mountain guns have already raised their heads and are ready to make a profitable counterattack against the attack of the Chinese!
"Report, command emergency!"
"Read!" Shojiro Iida did not go to answer the telegram, he was not interested in the orders of the stupid pigs.
"The command is handed over to the commander of the 18th Division, Shinichi Tanaka, please hurry to Thailand, there is a new mission!"
"Baga, this is for me to escape!" Shojiro Iida thought it was a shame and couldn't help but scold those bastards in the military department.
"Your Excellency Commander, in order to avoid the sharp edge of the Chinese people, leave Tang Longxiang's Burmese and Chinese people around." The chief of staff whispered to Shojiro Iida and repeated the plan above.
"Yo Xi!" Shojiro Iida smiled: "Use the Burmese to serve the empire, and mine will set off immediately!" β
Hu Zhiyong received that Hou Dashun was about to completely liberate Burma in the final battle, and after pondering, he issued an order: "Keep the Japanese army and first merge and rectify the various factions in Burma." Resolute blows that do not obey orders, and do not let people of all parties escape from one! β
"This-" Wei Lihuang looked at the telegram and asked in surprise, "Is this appropriate?" β
"For the sake of China and the long-term peace and stability of Myanmar, none of the officials who participated in the Japanese puppet government can be spared!" Hou Dashun understands that those wall grasses are masters of seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and only by completely eradicating them can they make Myanmar truly peaceful for a while.
"Yes, leave the Japanese army behind and carry out non-stop bombing of various strongholds in Burma!" Wei Lihuang understands that he must not care about life and leave hidden dangers!
