Chapter 323: The War of Law and Order (Finale)
The Resistance, already bewildered by dozens of truckloads of supplies, rushed out early. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, even the commander can't recruit them all back at once. In this era, there was no such high technology as instant messaging for individual soldiers. Abe could only watch in despair as thousands of his men rushed towards the convoy with joy, anxiously jumping behind and shouting for them to come back.
It's a pity that where is the water that has been spilled so easily can be recovered?
'Wow~~~' The truck parked on the road was suddenly ripped off the canvas. The Resistance ran with joy on their faces, surprised to find that there were no military boxes of all kinds on the trucks. The truck was full of heavily armed troops and machine guns!
It was a well-planned counter-ambush operation. In response to the resistance army's continuous attacks on transport convoys, the Ming army planned to use transport convoys to counter encirclement and suppression. At least three M42 machine guns were placed on each truck. When these machine guns with ultra-high rates of fire let out the sound of tearing cloth, hundreds of dense chains of bullets erupted, knocking the surrounding resistance troops to the ground who were exposed in the open field.
"Retreat!" Watching the Ming soldiers jump out of their trucks and begin to set up mortar positions, the Resistance commanders let out heart-rending howls in an attempt to take their troops away from the dangerous area.
It's a pity that they rushed too fast before, and most of the troops were exposed in the open fields without cover, and were knocked to the ground by the dense rain of bullets.
"Papapa~~~" The resistance soldiers crawled on the ground to counterattack, but the bullets of the Type 38 rifles in their hands were bounced off the truck. It turned out that these trucks were equipped with military steel plates. At this moment, the Resistance Army was completely kicked on the steel plate.
"Retreat! Evacuate! A frustrated Norihide Abe kept waving his arms and shouting for his men to leave quickly. Seeing his subordinates being put to the ground in droves, Abe Norihide felt that his heart was constantly dripping blood. The resistance army that is struggling to replenish can't afford such attrition!
"Whoosh~~~" The Ming army quickly set up mortar positions, and the dense shells blew up the resistance troops who were suppressed by the rain of machine gun shells. Stumps and severed arms flew all over the sky, and the rain of blood stained the black earth red.
In fact, it was the machine guns that really had a large lethal effect on the ultra-high rate of fire. This time, the elite troops specially selected by the town defenders came to carry out the mission, and the three machine guns on each truck alternately covered the fire.
The shooters who were hiding behind the armor plates were all tried and tested veteran machine gun crews, and they had already fired an unknown number of thousands of rounds over the years. The shooting accuracy and accuracy made the heart of Norihide Abe in the rear tremble.
The ambush point chosen by Norihide Abe was a relatively wide road. The road is lined with rice paddies after harvesting. On one side of the rice field is Mt. Choko, and on the other side of the rice field is the Narai River, the main ambush site of the resistance.
From here, thousands of Resistance soldiers rushed out of their makeshift positions on the riverbank, exposing themselves to the empty rice fields. Even if they fell to the ground, they could not resist the accurate fire of the Ming machine gunners.
Because the MG42 has a super high rate of fire, it has more than 10 rounds of bursts in the past. Even if there is a scatter point, the hit rate is extremely high. Because the resistance army is lying on the ground without shelter, there is no way to resist at all.
"Come back! All back! Abe Norihide jumped to his feet in a hurry, constantly urging his subordinates who were caught in the fire net to withdraw as soon as possible. After all, in the face of the abuse of dozens or hundreds of machine guns, hundreds of people have been lost in a short period of time.
Those who can join the ambush are basically those veterans, after all, this is a high-intensity and fierce battle. These veterans are a valuable asset to the army, at least the Resistance cannot afford to lose now.
Norihide Abe has a tall figure that is rare among the Japanese, and he has to wear his heavy general's uniform when the weather is so hot. Seeing that the war was unfavorable, Abe Norihide jumped out of the trench and stood on the river bank, desperately waving the command knife in his hand and shouting orders to his subordinates. In addition, he was surrounded by a large group of officers, guards, telegraphers, and so on. It was very difficult for such a conspicuous target not to attract the attention of the Ming army.
"Adjust the ruler, the angle of shooting!" The commander of the Ming army's mortar position loudly ordered the artillery group next to him to adjust the angle of fire and prepare to knock out this conspicuous target.
"Boom, boom!" A series of three mortar shells landed in the area near Norihide Abe, splattering up a cloud of dust.
"General! Hurry up and hide! The guards around were shocked, they were all veterans of the battlefield, and naturally knew that this was a ballistic test before the fire was covered. It won't be long before the artillery shells of the Ming army will fly over in droves. Hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Abe Norihide to try to take him into the trenches to hide!
"Get out of here!" Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered, Abe Norihide, who had fallen into a rage, pushed his guards away and strode forward to command his subordinates to retreat.
It's just that the elite Ming army soon launched a dense artillery cover towards his area. Three rounds of more than a dozen shells enveloped Abe and the resistance around him in dust and fire.
When the smoke cleared, there were no more people in the area who could stand. Norihide Abe, who was proficient in mountain tactics among the Japanese resistance, was wounded by more than a dozen fatal shrapnel wounds, and eventually died of excessive bleeding. With the loss of their commander, the Resistance was no longer able to organize effective tactics.
After the death of Norihide Abe, the ambush also ended in the complete collapse of the resistance. Under the intensive fire of the Ming army, except for the more than 100 resistance troops who were held back in the trenches and were able to jump into the Narai River to escape, the rest of the thousands of resistance troops were all annihilated in this ambush battle.
The defenders of Daming Town mobilized troops to strengthen the support of logistics supply routes, and at the same time liaised with the army and aviation to provide fire support to the theater of operations as much as possible, especially to throw incendiary bombs on a large scale in the mountains where the resistance might be hiding.
Anyone who lived through the Great Fire in Tokyo has developed an instinctive resistance to the flames. And it's hot season, and the resistance forces retreating to the mountains are completely helpless in the face of the raging fires that are beginning to spiral out of control.
It's the transition time between summer and autumn, and the temperature in the mountains is hot and the air is dull. In addition, there are many trees in this mountainous area, a thick layer of leaf litter accumulated over the years, and a large number of bushes. These things are excellent incendiary products. Perhaps even Da Ming himself did not expect that the incendiary bomb would cause such great damage in the mountains.
Originally, the Ming Army was just preparing to throw incendiary bombs at some crops that had not yet had time to be harvested and the underground fortifications in the mountains that had already been identified. The scale is not large, and it is far less powerful than the period of strategic bombing. However, these incendiary bombs became sparks that could ignite the prairie fire.
Almost overnight, flames erupted deep in the mountains on both sides of the Shinano Matsumoto Valley. At night, the troops who cleared the valley of the Resistance were stunned. The flames that rushed to the sky stretched like the fire of eternal night, as if they wanted to completely burn everything in the world.
"Hurry, hurry! Hurry up and get on the bus! Li Ling, whose forehead was covered with sweat, loudly scolded those security soldiers to get into the car as soon as possible and prepare to escape.
Because the fire is getting bigger and bigger, it has gotten out of control, and it has a tendency to spread down the hill and everywhere. After receiving the report, the defenders of Daming Town quickly issued an order to end this security battle. Order the evacuation of all troops in the danger zone.
This is a valley, and it's a low-lying valley area. It doesn't matter how big the area is, and it doesn't matter how much water there is. After all, there are mountains on all sides, and the mountains are full of trees and bushes.
After the fire began to burn, it became a place of death. If nothing else, the smoke and heat alone are enough to turn this place into a living purgatory. I knew that this would be the result, so what kind of tactics would be used to burn and rob everything, no one would have to come in, just let Lu Hang set it on fire.
"Bastard!" With a look of fear in his eyes filled with fear of the flames, Masao Oda grabbed a local man by the neck and dragged him off the armrest of the truck, still heavy on the ground. At this critical juncture of escape, where would the security forces care about the lives of those mountain people?
"That's it!" Look at the locals who are dragging their children and carrying tattered clothes and miscellaneous items on their backs and crying on the side of the road. Li Ling frowned and scolded coldly: "It's not that you can't sit down!" We have enough trucks to take everybody. Let you throw all that junk at me! And those military supplies that occupy the place, what else are these things going to do?! A couple of trucks were sent to take them all. If they stay here, they will die. ”
The quality of the Ming army, which strictly adheres to the ethics of professional soldiers, is extremely high. There is nothing to say about the enemy on the battlefield, but now it is for them to watch these innocent locals completely consumed by the fires caused by this war. The highly professional and well-educated Ming soldiers could not do such a thing.
"Hurry up, get rid of all that! Hurry up! After hearing Li Ling's words, Oda Masao hurriedly shouted at his subordinates to get a large amount of scrap copper and iron collected from all over the truck.
The various military supplies that were extremely valued were also still on the side of the road in the regretful eyes of the security forces. Finally several trucks were free.
"You guys!" Li Ling held a gun in one hand and pointed at the locals with the other, "Throw away all the garbage in your hands!" Everybody get on board! Those who can't squeeze in can stay here and die! (To be continued.) )
