Chapter 13: Bloody South Asia (4)
What Ma Dacheng saw was a temporary camp for the Japanese army, just on the edge of the jungle, and it was only four or five hundred meters away from Ma Dacheng and them. didn't dare to stop longer, Ma Dacheng just led people to retreat, because he didn't believe that there was only a squadron of the Japanese army here. In fact, as Ma Dacheng said he was worried, the scouts who had been broken into pieces returned one after another, along the edge of the jungle all the way to the north, and found Japanese troops along the way.
Zhuo Fei of the front-line battle report couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, could it really be because of his appearance that caused historical deviations? The time when the German army launched the European war, the British generator plan, and the time when the Japanese army entered Burma were all different from history, and now, the sequelae of all these changes in history have finally come, and the Japanese army attacking Mandalay did not fight a bloody battle with the British army Mandalay as in history, but drew troops to try to bypass Mandalay and directly enter northern Burma.
To tell the truth, Zhuo Fei is not afraid of the Japanese attack, don't look at the fact that the independent army has not been formed for a long time, but the combat power of the independent army has long been stronger than the Japanese army, as long as the Japanese army does not attack Burma with artillery and planes, the independent army can completely defeat the invading Japanese army. Zhuo Fei is only worried about not being affected by the war in northern Myanmar by the independence army, as the Japanese army has entered Thailand, Cambodia and Burma one after another, the new army that has been staying in Ruili is ready to be deployed at any time.
Zhuo Fei is plotting the whole of South Asia, not just Myanmar, he doesn't want to expose his power too early, and make the Japanese army scruples, if the Japanese army can't attack the Philippines and Malaysia according to the original trajectory, Zhuo Fei's painstakingly planned ultimate plan can only come to naught, which he absolutely can't accept. On the one hand, Zhuo Fei wants to drag the United States into a big war, but on the other hand, he does not want the Americans to continue to benefit from Asia, which makes him a little dilemma.
What to do? After some thought, Zhuo Fei's staff finally came up with a solution, the Germans had been developing the V2 rocket, in fact, the Germans had not developed this long-range weapon until 1944. Because of the 81 rocket artillery information provided by Zhuo Fei as the basis, Professor Polkin has been researching liquid fuel and has achieved certain results, if the umbrella company sends the relevant information to the Germans, I believe that the situation in the European war will be turned upside down.
"Boss, although Britain once colonized the United States, we must admit that the interests of Britain and the United States are closer than we think. As soon as the Germans possess this long-range rocket weapon, they will immediately attack the British mainland, and I think the US government will not sit idly by in the face of the British's pleas for help. If we again mobilize those relations in the United States to raise a plan in Congress, I believe that it will be very likely that the US government will pass the aid to Britain, and as long as the Americans join the Allies, our ultimate plan will not be abandoned halfway. ”
Zhuo Fei's staff is not just a rhetorical team, they include economists, intelligence analysts, and even specialized public science experts, who are best at analyzing the situation and finding the best way to protect the umbrella company. Zhuo Fei's ultimate plan was for the whole of South Asia, and now the question was how to get the Japanese to take the initiative to attack the Philippines, and the advice given by the staff team was to use means to get the United States to join the Allies first.
As long as the United States announces its membership in the Allies, the Japanese army, which has long been an ally of Germany, will become a fire and water with the United States, and once the Americans no longer export strategic materials to Japan, the Japanese will have to rely on themselves. The guerrilla warfare in the Japanese theater of operations became more and more intense, not to mention the strategic materials that the Japanese army looted in the occupied areas, and even the materials they had already looted earlier would be difficult to safely transport out of China, unless the Japanese army would mobilize heavy troops to escort them.
"Relying on Manchuria and Korea alone, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to meet their needs with strategic materials, and in such a situation, as long as the pro-Japanese faction in the Nationalist Government gave the Japanese a little guidance, their eyes would be set on the resource-rich countries of South Asia. Rubber, minerals, and especially oil, which the Japanese lacked, South Asia did not lack at all. If I were a high-level Japanese officer, I would not turn a blind eye to this, and it would be much easier to take South Asia than to occupy all of China. ”
The advice given by the staff group made Zhuo Feimao pause, no matter whether history has been changed by himself or not, the ambition hidden in the bones of the Japanese will not be changed at all. If they find that it is hopeless to occupy the whole of China, in order to maintain the situation that Japan has now acquired, and with some deliberate guidance, the Japanese will definitely not ignore the abundant resources of the countries of South Asia, because Japan cannot afford to lack these resources. "Inform the 1st Independent Division to increase reconnaissance of Mandalay and find an opportunity to take the initiative." Zhuo Fei finally made a decision, and his decision was also cheered by the officers and soldiers of the 1st Independent Division.
The weapons and equipment of the Independent Army far surpassed the Eighth Route Army and the National Army, and even the Japanese army could not compare, and this was also where Chen Geng's confidence lies. After receiving Zhuo Fei's order, Chen Geng successively sent a number of reconnaissance troops, counting Ma Dacheng's reconnaissance team that set off in advance, and the reconnaissance troops of the Independent Army scattered around Mandalay had exceeded 500 people. 500 scouts are 500 mountain warfare masters, and once these scouts who have been strictly ordered not to take the initiative to exchange fire with the Japanese army are released, the impact on the Japanese army will definitely be unforgettable for the Japanese army.
"The order has come from above, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't, bite them." Ma Dacheng also received an order to allow free fire, so he did not hesitate to delay waiting for another reconnaissance team to follow them. The two teams converged, although the number of people was more than 100 people, but whether it was Ma Dacheng or his scouts, they all showed disdain for the Japanese troops outside the jungle.
"Old Ma, this is not like your character, but I heard that when you were still in the Eighth Route Army, you once took a squad to hedge against half a squad of devils. Look at it again, what kind of weapons and equipment are we using now, the little devil's 38 rifle has become a rotten street compared to us, you just say how to fight, my team will all listen to you. The captain of the other reconnaissance team directly handed over the command to Ma Dacheng, saying that Ma Dacheng was the one with the best results when he was in the training camp.
Ma Dacheng was not ambiguous about the command that the other party voluntarily handed over, and according to the information detected by his scouts, he simply formulated a plan, but he did not want to annihilate these Japanese troops, but wanted to force the Japanese troops outside the jungle to retreat in spite of the difficulties. More than 100 scouts were dispersed into groups of more than 30 people according to Ma Dacheng's action plan, and slowly moved to the position closest to the Japanese army with the help of the cover of the jungle.
"Lao Tie, do you see the radio antenna over there? I guess there is not only a Japanese military radio station over there, maybe there are also senior officials or something, your task is to keep an eye on Lao Tzu over there, and when you see a Japanese officer appear, you will knock him out for me. Ma Dacheng viciously gave the sniper a sniper mission, and the latter just nodded lightly and disappeared into the grass with his observer. Snipers are rare in the national army, but in the independent army and the new army, the snipers using Mauser's improved sniper rifles have already been equipped to the squad level, and in the reconnaissance team of Zaoma Dacheng, snipers are equipped with 7.
The snipers and observers who disappeared into the grass easily found a suitable sniper point for themselves, and the position Ma Dacheng said was only more than 400 meters away from them, and the distance of 400 meters was a bit of a bully for the snipers of the Independence Army. The Japanese troops outside the jungle did not find the scouts hiding at the edge of the woodland, and the place where the sniper was aimed at was very busy.
It's just a young man.,The sniper who has put the opponent's head into the scope is still a little dissatisfied.,I was thinking that my first shot should kill a middle sa or something.,It doesn't seem to be a good deal for a young one.。 The unwilling sniper asked the observer to search carefully, and it turned out that this Shaozo seemed to be the highest-ranking officer known, and the pouting sniper had to put the opponent's head into the scope again.
With a "snap" of gunshots, when the butt of the sniper rifle was rubbed back, the Japanese soldier who was being targeted by the sniper had already been shot, and scarlet blood mist sprayed out from the opponent's bulleted head. The sound of gunfire was the signal, and the silence of the woodland suddenly burst into a dense burst of gunfire, mixed with several explosions, which were scouts scattered along the edge of the woodland using grenadiers to bombard Japanese machine-gun fire points.
The Japanese army who were caught off guard suffered heavy casualties, and dozens of Japanese soldiers were killed by well-equipped scouts just by taking a look, and before the Japanese troops outside the jungle could fight back, the originally dense raindrops of gunfire in the woodland disappeared strangely. If it weren't for the screaming companions and the smell of blood in the air, the panicked Japanese soldiers outside the jungle would have even thought that the gunfire just now was just their hallucination.
The Japanese soldiers, who had suffered heavy casualties, chased into the woodland and found that there was nothing left in the woodland that they had strafed with a barrage of bullet shells. "Eight Tooth Road, damn coward." The Japanese captain who led the group into the forest was very annoyed, and the attacker's behavior of hiding his head and tail was a sign of cowardice in his opinion. But before he could finish venting, he heard gunfire outside the woodland again, and by the time they roared back to the camp outside the jungle, more than half of the soldiers and wounded who remained in the camp had already been killed.
