Chapter 380: Flower Face and Ghost Soldiers
PS: Watch in half an hour
Born in the world, there are always various identities.
Some are innate, such as nationality, such as place of origin, such as you are the child of so-and-so, the descendant of so-and-so......
Some are acquired as they grow, such as students, teachers, soldiers, or other professional identities.
Once a person has an identity, he should have a position and principles when dealing with things!
Although Chief Du and General Stilwell hit it off at first sight, their identities and positions were different...... In the end, they spoke ill of each other on the issue of the war with the ancients.
From the standpoint of General Stilwell, there is no room for loss in relations with Cuba in the whole Burma war, and that is where the interests of his motherland lie.
Standing in the position of Chief Du, it is important to the same as in ancient times, but the safety of the expeditionary force is equally important, and that is where the interests of his motherland lie.
Either way, the Battle of Tonggu is over!
After 12 days of fighting with the Gugu Army, the 200th Division finally retreated, and although it did not achieve its goal of recovering Rangoon and lost the important town that controlled the Moltke Highway, its heroic performance was remarkable.
So much so that Lieutenant General Iijima, commander of the Fifth Army of the Japanese Army, had to sigh: "The enemy in front of him is the 200th Division of the Chongqing Army, and its will to fight has always been strong, especially the troops who have been responsible for the task of covering the retreat, until the last Ren held his position and resisted desperately...... Even though he is an enemy, he is indeed very heroic! ”
In a military sense, the significance of the battle of Tonggu is almost zero, but in an epistemological sense, the battle of Tonggu unexpectedly received a high score, and after this war, the expeditionary force received preliminary recognition from the international community.
On the night of 29 March, the main force of the 200th Division was ordered to retreat, and the main force crossed the Siddang River and calmly retreated to Yedashe, not even missing the wounded.
On March 30, the Japanese invaded the city, but they could not catch up with the troops of the 200th Division who were responsible for the cover of the retreat, and only got an empty city that had been reduced to ruins.
On 1 April, the headquarters of the Japanese Fifth Army decided to "defeat the enemy in front of it, and first advance to the line of Legu (also known as Leke), Yangmiding, and Ren'anqiang."
On the same day, the 33rd Division of the Japanese invaders advanced to the line of Prome and Besa, and the British army on the Western Front was about to collapse at the first touch, and successively abandoned Prome and Beame and retreated to the Alanmu area.
At this time, although Zazawa was not the main attack direction of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, it was already exposed to the front line of the battle.
At night, there was silence on the southeast outpost, the crescent moon in the sky was like a hook, there was not a single light in the trenches, the night was hazy, and the snoring came and went.
The ointment of the medical platoon had been successfully developed two days ago, and the officers and men of each department were divided into their hands and wiped on their faces and hands, although they looked terrible, they no longer had to suffer from mosquitoes and flies, but they also slept soundly.
Of course, the brothers on the Minggang and the secret sentry did not dare to slack off, one by one with knives and guns in hand, the killing was gloomy, and the faces that were smeared were just like the ghost soldiers.
At dusk two days ago, Li Siwei took Liu Tianfu to send the ointment to the battlefield, and after the brothers smeared it, Huang Hua saw the colorful faces, and immediately blurted out, "Dog's day, grimaces."
"Grimace?" Sun Dali took it with a smile, "From now on, Lao Tzu will be ghost soldiers!" ”
"Hello ghost soldiers,"
The brothers echoed one after another, "The ghost soldiers are haunted, and they don't beat the little devils to scream?" ”
Seeing those smiling faces, Li Siwei sighed on the side, "It's a pity that I can't get a camouflage uniform!" ”
"Camouflage?"
All the brothers were stunned and looked at Li Siwei, "Commander, what is the camouflage uniform?" ”
Since the establishment of the 66th Regiment, the officers and men have changed their uniforms several times, and they have also worn the military uniforms of little devils, but those military uniforms are nothing more than gray and yellow, where do you know what camouflage uniforms are?
"Hehe," Li Siwei smiled wryly, "it's like the color of clothes on your faces, some green, some brown...... It looks like a piece of flowers! ”
"That's a good idea!"
The brothers' eyes lit up, "After smearing this ointment, putting on camouflage uniforms, and going into the forest, you will really become a ghost soldier who comes and goes without a trace!" ”
In fact, the "ghost soldiers" are just a joke of the brothers, but they don't want to be called famous by the little devils.
Except for the moonlight, tonight on April 1 seemed to be no different from last night.
"Whoa...... Whoop ......"
At dawn, there was a sudden strange sound in the river below the ridge.
"Quack...... Quack ......"
At the same time, the sound of frogs sounded in the dense forest on the hillside.
"Quack...... quack quack ......"
Immediately, the sound of frogs on both sides of the river came and went, completely drowning out the frogs in the dense forest.
"Yaga!"
Warrant Officer Watanabe, who had just touched the middle of the river, scolded secretly, and hurriedly added his steps, and the little devils scattered around followed one after another, quickly touched the shore, and hid in the reeds on the shore, and there was no sound.
"Quack...... Quack ......"
The sound of frogs gradually dissipated, and there was silence on both sides of the river, and there was still no sound on the ridge.
After a while, the reeds swayed gently, and more than 20 little devils slowly touched the dense forest on the hillside with the 38 big covers.
On the other side of the creek is also a dense reed thicket, and Second Lieutenant Takeuchi is lurking with the main force of Takeuchi's squad, and the crooked handle and rapid-fire guns are already aimed at the low ridge on the opposite bank, ready to provide fire support at any time.
After arranging the firepower points and the reinforcement squad, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi raised his binoculars and stared closely at the actions of Warrant Officer Watanabe's company.
In the hazy night, Warrant Officer Watanabe and his group of more than 20 people successfully touched the dense forest on the hillside without encountering the slightest resistance.
Seeing this, a contemptuous smile crept up the corner of Second Lieutenant Takeuchi's mouth...... The military literacy of the people of China is indeed not high! If a defense had been set up in Zazawa, why didn't an outpost be set up in this dangerous place?
After the occupation of Tonggu, the headquarters of the Fifth Army of the Japanese invaders began to prepare to march to Pingmanna, and the reconnaissance planes detected the activities of the expeditionary force in Zazawa, and hurriedly sent the Araki Infantry Brigade to attack, preparing to repeat the old trick and make a detour from the right flank of the Pingmanna defenders.
The Takeuchi squad is the infiltration force of the Araki Infantry Brigade, preparing to take the outpost position of the Sawa defenders before dawn and clear the way for the main force.
However, it seems that the defensive deployment of the Zazawa defenders is a little lax!
Second Lieutenant Takeuchi was in a good mood, and stood up gently, looking high-spirited, just waiting for Warrant Officer Watanabe to send a signal on the other side, and then he could wave the division commander and drive straight in!
However, time slipped by minute by second, and Warrant Officer Watanabe's team did not even move at all.
This Saburo Watanabe!
Second Lieutenant Takeuchi's good mood was suddenly vanished by a wave of anger.
Of course, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi did not think that Warrant Officer Watanabe and his party had already encountered an accident, because, in his opinion, no unit could quietly swallow up the reconnaissance team composed of two squads of the Imperial Army!
After all, the officers and soldiers who can enter the reconnaissance team are not soft eggs!
"Second Lieutenant," Warrant Officer Sakaguchi leaned over gently, whispering in a hoarse voice, "Watanabe-kun ...... them."
"Yaga!"
Second Lieutenant Takeuchi cursed in a low voice and gritted his teeth, "Cross the river!" ”
"Hey!"
Warrant Officer Sakaguchi said yes and left in a hurry.
After a short time, Warrant Officer Sakaguchi took more than 20 people to touch the river and went straight to the hillside, causing the sound of frogs on both sides of the river, "quack...... quack quack ......"
Second Lieutenant Takeuchi saw that the front team had successfully entered the dense forest, and hurriedly led the rear team down the river, and the frog sound suddenly became a little higher-pitched.
"Quack ......"
"Ah......h
In the midst of the noisy sound of frogs, a short howl rose and fell.
Vaguely hearing the short and miserable howl mixed with the sound of frogs, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi was startled and quickly stopped, and at the same time clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it high above the top, and the little devils around him stopped in the middle of the river and listened attentively.
"Quack...... Quack ......"
But all I could hear was the sound of the frog chirping that was fading away.
Second Lieutenant Takeuchi listened for a while with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth, and went to the shore first.
I guess I heard it wrong...... I must have heard it wrong!
Until this time, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi still did not believe that the troops in front had encountered an accident, which stemmed from his confidence in his subordinates!
However, if he knew the past records of the Special Service Company, I am afraid that he would not be so confident.
There are no ifs, so Second Lieutenant Takeuchi quickly touched the shore with the only two remaining squads and touched the dense forest on the hillside.
He wants to see what the hell Saburo Watanabe and Yasushi Sakaguchi are up to!
The low ridge is only thirty or fifty meters high, but the dense forest on the hillside is full of ancient trees and gloomy and gloomy.
As soon as he stepped into the edge of the dense forest, Ensign Takeuchi suddenly felt a chill in his heart, although he couldn't see the situation in the forest clearly, but the faint smell of blood was hinting at the murderous intent hidden in the darkness.
Second Lieutenant Takeuchi paused, quickly took out his gun, stopped the guards guarding on both sides, and looked vigilantly into the depths of the dense forest, but there was nothing but the shadows of the trees, vines, and dead branches and leaves as far as his eyes could see.
The two detachments led by Second Lieutenant Takeuchi entered the forest in groups of three or three in the shape of horns, but when they touched the forest, they were separated by the ancient trees and the dense vines and trees.
"Bang...... Burst...... Squeaky ......"
Just as Second Lieutenant Takeuchi was looking around, the sound of heavy objects falling between dead branches and leaves suddenly sounded in the dark forest.
Left front, right front ...... Not good!
Second Lieutenant Takeuchi was startled, and hurriedly opened his mouth to shout, but he felt a chill in his heart.
"Poof......
Before Ensign Takeuchi could react, he felt a pain in his heart.
"Bang ......"
Immediately knocked to the ground by a strong force, his throat was tightly encircled by an arm, and his mouth was round and flustered, but the roar was stuck in his throat, "Coo...... Goo ......"
"Poof...... Poof......"
Pressed to the ground deadly, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi saw in the corner of his eyes that the guard on the right had been thrown to the ground, and a big man was pressing the guard behind him, wrapping his neck and stabbing him in the back with a short knife, one knife, another knife......
At this moment, Ensign Takeuchi's mind suddenly became clear...... The other Shina must be doing the same thing behind my back, right?
It's just that Second Lieutenant Takeuchi was already numb at this time, and he couldn't feel the slightest pain!
"It's over, right?"
The big man on the right side of the guard suddenly let go of his arm, put away his knife, and looked back at the back of Second Lieutenant Takeuchi, his blood-red eyes flashing with excitement.
A beam of moonlight shone through the branches and leaves above the dense forest on his face, shining a hideous flower face.
"Ghost ...... Soldier...... Ghost ......"
Seeing that flowery face, Second Lieutenant Takeuchi opened his mouth as if he had returned to the light, and actually squeezed out the voice in his throat, along with the bubbling blood foam.
"Holy shit!"
Hou Weihua let go of Second Lieutenant Takeuchi, put away the knife, sat down next to the corpse, and shook his head at Zhong Chu, who had just asked, "It's all here." ”
"Fuck,"
Zhong Chu breathed a sigh of relief, inserted the bayonet back into his waist, and turned over next to the corpse, "What's the corpse doing?" ”
"Pick it up and throw it here!"
Hou Weihua relieved himself, put away the bayonet, squatted next to the corpse and began to pull it up, with a hint of a smile in his voice, "I'm still an official!" ”
Soon, the silence in the dense forest was restored, and the morning light gradually illuminated the earth, and only a corpse scattered among the dead branches and vines and weeds remained in the hazy morning light......
At this time, the main force of the Sakaguchi brigade had arrived in a col two miles away and was resting.
"Yaga!"
Sakaguchi Shaosa looked at the sky, then looked in the direction of the low ridge, and scolded anxiously, "That fool Takeuchi Kuan, why is there no news until now?" ”
"Shao Zuo,"
As soon as Sakaguchi Shaoza's words fell, a little devil with an embarrassed description stumbled over from the avenue in front of him, his face full of panic, "Second Lieutenant...... Ensign they ......"
"Yaga!"
Sakaguchi Shaozo was angry, and his eyes widened, "So embarrassed, what kind of system!" ”
"Hey!"
The little devil was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, but there was a little less panic in his expression, and his words became smoother, "I got the order last night, and the second lieutenant took us straight to the direction of Zaze......"
"Yaga!"
Sakaguchi Shaosa interrupted the little devil's words again, his face full of impatience, "Tell the point!" ”
"Hey!"
The little devil hurriedly hung his head again, "There is another small river about three miles ahead, no more than twenty meters wide, the river is only knee-deep, there is a low ridge on the opposite bank, the second lieutenant is afraid that the people will establish an outpost position on that ridge, so he asked Warrant Officer Watanabe to lead his troops first, but, after waiting for a long time, there is no signal back, and I can't hear the slightest sound on the other side, and then,"
"Hey!"
The little devil hurriedly hung his head and paused, "There is another small river about three miles ahead, no more than twenty meters wide, the river is only knee-deep, there is a low ridge on the opposite bank, the second lieutenant is afraid that the people will establish an outpost position on that ridge, so he asked Warrant Officer Watanabe to lead his troops first, but after waiting for a long time, there is no signal back, and I can't hear the slightest sound on the other side, and then, "Hey! ”
The little devil hurriedly hung his head again, "There is another small river about three miles ahead, no more than twenty meters wide, and the river is only knee-deep.
