Chapter 518: The Dead Word Legion Strikes
readx;??? In May 1942, in the office of the former Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in the Government Hall of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fumi, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese 25th Army, who had occupied Kuala Lumpur for three months, was very satisfied with his work over the past few months. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor at the end of last year, in just over two months, the 25th Army led by Yamashita has occupied the entire territory of Malaysia.
If it weren't for the lives of the soldiers, they didn't want to force the British soldiers stationed in Malaysia to jump over the wall. He had already wiped out all the British troops in Malaysia.
Now, in addition to Singapore, there are more than 100,000 Anglo-Malaysian troops struggling to support, and the whole of Malaysia, including the capital Kuala Lumpur, is already under his control.
The Fifth, Eighteenth and Guards Divisions led by Yamashita Fumimi are worthy of being the veteran divisions of the Empire. The combat effectiveness of these three divisions is truly amazing, and each division can independently deal with the Anglo-Malaysian forces several times their own and crush the enemy.
Now the only thing that makes Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengwen unhappy is that the new 500th Division is on the Taima-Malaysia border, so that the Chinese Expeditionary Force can leave the fallen flowers and water behind.
Fortunately, the Chinese expeditionary force did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, otherwise it might have disrupted his plan to occupy the whole of Malaysia.
Fortunately, after several months of sweeping, after the iron-blooded suppression of the three veteran divisions, there is now no aborigines in the entire territory of Malaysia who dare to openly resist the Japanese army.
What made Lieutenant General Yamashita even happier was that the guards of the Peace Hotel had taken over the security work in Malaysia, and with these local snakes to manage Malaysia, the Imperial Japanese Army had saved a lot of heart.
The reason why Yamashita was so relieved to hand over the security of the whole territory of Malaysia to the Peace Guards was because the Peace Guards treated the local natives more harshly than the Japanese.
As long as the local natives were slightly dissatisfied with the Japanese occupation, the Peace Guard would extend their butcher's knives to these natives, and they would always kill ten and exterminate the tribe.
It can be said that the Peace Guards have been firmly tied to the Japanese, and Yamashita Fumimi has no worries that the Peace Guards, whose hands are stained with the blood of the Malayian people, will be half-hearted.
Because once the Guardian of Peace, who had become the public enemy of Malaysia, broke away from the protection of the Japanese army, they would surely be torn to pieces by the angry Malaytian natives.
Now that the overall situation in Malaysia has been decided, Yamashita decided to attack on both sides, and the 5th Division will first replace the 500th Division to attack the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the Thai-Malaysian border. The 18th Division then attacked the Anglo-Malaysian forces that were stubbornly resisting in Singapore.
With an order, the 5th and 18th Divisions set out from Kuala Lumpur and headed north and south respectively to attack the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the last Anglo-Malaysian forces.
The 5th Division marched at a rapid pace, and the entire division of more than 30,000 people arrived at the Taima-Malaysia border within a few days, and completed the handover with the 500th Division in only one day.
Then, after less than three days of preparation, an attack was immediately launched against the Chinese expeditionary force opposite. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Fifth Division, the Chinese National Army did not have strong troops.
The Fifth Division, on the other hand, fought many battles with the Chinese army, often defeating China's so-called ace army with a block of ten. In the eyes of the Fifth Division, the entire China Huaxing Guard Army is a really difficult bone to gnaw, and the rest of the Chinese army is not worth mentioning at all.
So when they saw the big dead-word flag written in black on a white background by the Chinese expeditionary force on the opposite side. The soldiers of the Fifth Division showed even more contemptuous eyes: "Look at it, the army on the opposite side turned out to be a white flag as a military flag, what else do we have to fear?" Have you ever seen an army that has not yet started fighting with a white flag? ”
It's a pity that the soldiers of the Fifth Division didn't expect that the dead word army on the opposite side was different from any national army they had encountered before.
In the past, the armies of China and Japan were close to each other, but which time was not the Japanese army the first to attack? But this time it was different, and before the soldiers of the Fifth Division could take the lead in attacking, dozens of shells flew from the positions of the Dead Word Corps on the opposite side.
Then the careless soldiers of the 5th Division were immediately blown up by the oncoming shells, and before the soldiers of the 5th Division could figure out what was going on, more shells came from the side of the position of the Dead Word Corps.
At this time, the soldiers of the Fifth Division no longer dared to underestimate the Chinese army on the opposite side, because the Chinese army on the opposite side not only had advanced weapons and sufficient ammunition, but also the guns and artillery were accurate.
What frightened the soldiers of the Fifth Division on the Japanese position the most was that the artillery shells of the dead word regiment on the opposite side seemed to be too many to count, just a small battlefield, and the Chinese troops on the opposite side actually fired hundreds of large-caliber shells.
At this time, the soldiers of the 5th Division had not even set up mortars, and they had already been bombed by the shells of the Chinese army and could not find the north. Occasionally, a few small cannons firing back symbolically would soon be shelled by more Chinese troops.
In this way, the soldiers on the battlefields of the Fifth Division were defeated in the artillery battle with the Chinese army: "Impossible, why did the artillery of the Chinese army hit so far?" Why did their shells hit so accurately? ”
It's a pity that before these Japanese soldiers finished roaring, they were surprised to find that the dead word military flag on the opposite side actually moved forward, and then in the jungle and trenches, there were Chinese troops rushing out everywhere.
These Chinese soldiers were all small in stature, but they were extremely agile, and what was even worse was that they attacked the Japanese positions as the Chinese army moved forward with the artillery fire.
The soldiers of the Fifth Division who were guarding the various positions could not raise their heads at all when they were hit by the extension of the Chinese artillery fire, and when the artillery fire passed, the Japanese soldiers who had managed to escape the shelling found that the entire position was already full of Chinese soldiers.
At this time, although the position was occupied, the soldiers of the 5th Division were not afraid, because at such a short distance, they could exert the power of their Japanese army's white-knuckle battle.
According to past experience, as long as they were in groups of two or three, they could easily kill five times their own enemies in a stabbing without being harmed.
So hordes of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the trenches, and as they charged, they withdrew their bullets and rushed towards the Chinese soldiers with long rifles.
If it was before, the Chinese soldiers at this time should have rushed towards the Japanese army one by one with a scream, and then they were stabbed to death by Japanese soldiers in groups of three or two.
But this time it was different, seeing that the Japanese soldiers had withdrawn the bullets, these soldiers of the Death Word Legion, who were also thin and small, rushed up without screaming, nor did they compete with the Japanese with bayonets.
These Chinese soldiers of the Dead Word Legion also gathered in groups of three or two, and then rushed up silently. Moreover, the next action of the Chinese soldiers who rushed forward greatly frightened the Japanese soldiers.
It turned out that the Chinese soldiers, who were also carrying bayonets, did not hold the bayonets flat on their chests like the Japanese soldiers, but raised the muzzle of the gun diagonally downward.
Just when the Japanese soldiers were happy to think that the Chinese soldiers did not know how to fight and stab, and they could kill them on a large scale, these Chinese soldiers suddenly opened fire.
Then the soldiers of the Fifth Division suddenly found that they had been shot in the leg, and all of a sudden they couldn't stand steadily, and the guns naturally couldn't be leveled, and what was even more serious was that the huge pain in the thighs made the soldiers can't help but throw down their guns.
At this time, the Chinese soldiers had already rushed up, and the Japanese soldiers who threw down their weapons were stabbed fiercely, and then these wounded Japanese soldiers fell down with unwilling faces.
The Japanese soldiers, who were holding back the pain and preparing to strike a desperate blow, were even more unlucky, because they would find that they would be shot twice more and then stabbed to death by the Chinese army who rushed in front of them.
As a result, in just a few minutes, there were no living people left in the entire Japanese position. At this time, the soldiers of the Death Word Legion let out an earth-shattering roar to express their joy.
And the soldiers of the Fifth Division, who had fallen to the ground and had not yet lost their breath, stared at the banner with black letters on a white background in front of them, and they couldn't forget this flag if they wanted to be ghosts.
The news of the setback in the first battle of the Fifth Division soon spread to Yamashita Fengwen, who looked at the battle report in front of him, frowned deeply and asked the intelligence chief officer of the Fifth Division: "What about it?" Dead word legion, unheard of. The people of this legion are so cunning? Why? ”
Then a more detailed report was handed to Yamashita Fumi: "What? The Dead Word Legion is actually a unit of the Huaxing Group, are all the people in your intelligence department dead? Why didn't you say it earlier? I want to know that this is Li Tie's army, I will never be so careless! ”
