Chapter 543: Crazy Little Devil

The sound of "Didi Click" was endless, and the desperate news gathered together, which made Masanobu Tsuji's hair suddenly turn a lot whiter.

"Report, the 14th Division sent a farewell message."

Looking at the content of the telegram in his hand, Masanobu Tsuji really felt that the pressure of death was so close.

It's time.

Walking up to Yamashita Fengfumi and handing him the farewell message of the 14th Division in his hand, Masanobu Tsuji didn't say anything, he was waiting for the order. Wait for the final order to be brought.

"I see, order to go down and have a final showdown." Yamashita Fengwen put down the message and said lightly.

At this moment, all four walls have been breached, and the Chinese army has entered Singapore in a big way, and is rapidly advancing towards the center of Singapore. This is the headquarters of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, where Yamashita Bongfumi and others are located. Brutal street fighting is no longer inevitable.

Since the Chinese army surrounded Singapore, reinforcements could not be counted on, and Yamashita Fengwen has been preparing for street fighting. It is very irrational to go head-to-head with the powerful Chinese army, and the outcome of Southeast Asia cannot be changed. He also had no way to retreat, and the only thing he could do was to kill and injure the Chinese army as much as possible.

He wants to show the world that even a dying tiger has the strength to fight last.

"Hay!" Masanobu Tsuji still didn't say anything, not that he didn't have anything to say, but he didn't know how to say it with a stomach full of words, and in the end he retreated. After giving the order, he also has to find a place to be.

……

Outside Singapore, after a day and a night of bloody fighting. Under the blow of superior forces and firepower. The 14th Division of the Japanese garrison in Singapore, together with two infantry divisions of the Imperial Army, totaling 55,000 troops, was successfully annihilated.

In the face of the results of the total annihilation of 55,000 defenders, the 61st Field Army and the Marine Independent Brigade, a total of 70,000 troops, were shrouded in a relaxed and confident atmosphere. Of course, inside the former enemy headquarters outside Singapore, there was also a relaxed atmosphere.

"Commander! According to the latest situation reported by various units, it is shown that at present, various combat units. Already in accordance with the orders of the command of the former enemy. Complete the siege of the city of Singapore on all sides. All artillery units, all are ready for the battle, as long as you give the order to siege the city, artillery units. You can always make a predetermined goal. Launch the heaviest shelling. Messages were also sent from the Air Force and Navy fleets. Replenished with ammunition and fuel, the fighter plane has once again taken to the skies, ready to support us in the next battle. In the former enemy headquarters, Wang Benqing said to Peng Xuefeng, the commander in front of him, who looked confident.

"Xiao Wang. How is the morale of the troops now? Regarding Wang Benqing's report, Commander Peng Xuefeng did not look back. A pair of eyes, still motionless, stared at the buildings in Xinjia City not far away, which had been completely shrouded in gunsmoke, and asked Wang Benqing behind him.

At this moment, the former enemy headquarters had moved forward again and entered the city of Singapore. And the troops that have entered the city have begun to move forward.

"After an hour's rest, plus the brilliant results achieved by the various units last night. At the moment, the morale of the fighters is very high. Wang Benqing hurriedly reported.

"Good, very good. Xiao Wang, now convey my order: the artillery unit will cooperate with the air force to carry out a 10-minute heavy artillery bombardment of all predetermined targets in 10 minutes. Then, all the attacking troops immediately launched a final attack, and completely eliminated the stubborn little devils in the city while ensuring the lives and safety of the soldiers. Peng Xuefeng ordered decisively.

"Yes, Commander!"

As the roaring sound of shell explosions sounded on the battlefield, the battlefield, which had just been quiet for less than an hour, was once again completely enveloped by the sound of shell explosions and thick gunsmoke. The buildings and reinforced concrete fortifications in Singapore were also shrouded in heavy artillery fire at the first time.

In the city of Singapore, the four armored infantry regiments of the 61st Field Army, which were responsible for the main attack, also quickly plunged straight into their attack targets as soon as they gave the order of the former enemy headquarters. Once again, the roar of the chariots resounded through the city, the tanks puffed up layers of black smoke, and the engines let out a beastly roar.

Surprisingly, I thought that among the cement fortifications lined up in the city, there would be a fierce battle with the defenders of the little devils. However, what is unexpected is that after less than half an hour of attack, one by one the cement fortifications that seem to be impregnable. Under the heavy artillery fire of the armored infantry, it was like paper paste, and in an instant, it was blown into ruins.

The main offensive force in the north, as the main direction of the 61st Field Army, was hit by the continuous blasting of the vanguard company and artillery fire, and the bunkers had long been in ruins. Of course, as the vanguard company of the main attack, it also paid a certain number of casualties. After half an hour of bloody fighting, the total strength of the army has changed from more than 120 people at the beginning to more than 110 people today.

However, such casualties are already very low compared to the battlefield confrontation with the little devils for a while.

At the forefront of the offensive in the south, the Vanguard Company had been advancing all the way for more than half an hour, and at this time they were approaching the center of the city. In this area, most of them are independent small buildings, and there are little devils in each small building. Relying on these buildings, the advancing Pioneer Company was blocked.

At this moment, blocking the front of the vanguard company is such a defensive structure, on a residential building on the side of the road, the little devil set up a light and heavy machine gun, and kept shooting at the Chinese troops on the road. Block their way.

Under the double cover of machine guns, rifle barrages, and smoke from the explosion of grenades, a dozen fighters climbed over a broken wall and flanked the armoured vehicles advancing on the road, towards a small building in front of them.

This situation seems to be very normal, because the little devil on the opposite side has been completely suppressed by the fire. However, to everyone's surprise, it was so smooth that the attacking troops seemed to advance to the small building without any resistance, and they were not blocked by the Japanese army too much during the period. easily rushed into the small building.

And the dozen or so soldiers who entered the small building quickly connected with the little devils inside, and the speed of the advance was also very fast.

However, just when the momentum looks like it's going to be good.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the entire small building made a huge explosion. A huge amount of dust and smoke rose up, and the small building collapsed in an instant. On the side of the road, an infantry fighting vehicle that was just about to pass through here was directly buried. By the time the dust and smoke had almost dissipated, the small building had completely disappeared, leaving only half-story high ruins. Including the infantry fighting vehicle and the dozen or so soldiers who entered the small building, as well as the little devils inside, all were buried under the rubble.

"Oh. No! ”

"Damn it."

"Bastard."

……

Rear. The other soldiers of the Pioneer Company looked at the collapsed small building, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim. No one thought that the little devil would completely raze the entire building, and no one thought that there would be himself inside. The little devil would do such a great job.

The little devils they meet now. No longer the stormtrooper who shouted at them with a weapon. Rather, it is a group of opponents who are truly dominated by bushido.

This method of the little devil has taught them a lesson. In the face of such a crazy opponent, such a crazy nation. They must not be left with any chance.

At this moment, a huge explosion began to sound in the city of Singapore, and dust and smoke rose into the sky, and more than a dozen small buildings collapsed in an instant under the explosion.

"What the hell bastard, keep going for me and avenge my dead comrades. From now on, I am not allowed to enter the building, and all the small buildings that resist will be destroyed by artillery. In the rear, the commander of the vanguard company, who saw all this scene, was immediately furious.

The advance continued, and the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles behind continued their offensive over the collapsed ruins. At this moment, their attitude is completely different from before.

Once again, the resistance came quickly, and a dozen tongues of fire erupted from a small building in front of them, followed by another, third, fourth, ....... The buildings on both sides of the road are resisting fire.

"Jingle" with firelight splashed over tanks and armored vehicles, and dense bullets hit tanks and armored vehicles.

Tank guns and 12.7 twin-mounted heavy machine guns kept counterattacking the small buildings around them. Dense artillery fire and bullets created countless craters in the originally flat walls.

This time, however, the fighters who were following behind the armored vehicles and tanks did not have the slightest intention of making a move. Instead, they began to call the artillery units in the back.

Soon, in the shocked look of the little devil, artillery fire came. These are just ordinary buildings, how can they withstand the dense artillery fire, and each one of them is still heavy artillery. Powerful shells instantly covered the buildings on both sides of the street. The destructive shells were just a round of shelling, and most of these buildings collapsed. The little devils inside were also annihilated under the artillery fire in an instant.

Tanks and armored vehicles continued to advance after the shelling, the wheels rolling, and continued to run forward.

At this time, in the rear, Peng Xuefeng, who received the report on the battle situation in front, was also angry, and more than a dozen explosions buried more than a hundred excellent soldiers, which made him how to maintain a normal heart.

"Command the air force and artillery units, as long as they call for fire support from the front, they must ensure that they are ready to do so. At the same time, I ordered the bomber force to come to the aid immediately, and I was going to raze Singapore. ”

"But, Commander, there are civilians in Singapore! If we do this, the above will be to blame. When Wang Benqing heard such an order, he hurriedly spoke.

"I can't manage so much now, how can there be immortals in war, compared to the lives of our soldiers, a little accidental injury is nothing." Peng Xuefeng understands very well that there are some things that cannot be taken care of at this moment, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you are afraid, more people will die.

In fact, they didn't know that there were not many civilians in the center of Singapore, and as the most prosperous area of Singapore, most of them were occupied by the little Japanese after a large number of Japanese expatriates migrated over. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the defensive war, Yamashita also expelled a large number of aborigines. In order to prevent these garbage in his eyes from leaking the defense situation to the Chinese army.

"In fact, there is no need to take care of these at all, there are no civilians at all who are still in the center of the city, and they are either expatriates or two devils. Therefore, there will be no accidental injuries at all. At this time, a middle-aged man with eyes and a sven text behind Peng Xuefeng spoke. There were still traces of gunsmoke on this person's face. It's no surprise that he's just coming out of Singapore. He is the head of the Singapore branch of the Military Intelligence Agency.

"In that case, there's no need to worry." When Peng Xuefeng heard the middle-aged man's words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He also did not want to use anything against civilians, because according to the policy of the empire, in order to better rule the regions of Southeast Asia, during the war, under the condition of ensuring the smooth operation of the soldiers, it was absolutely forbidden to kill or injure civilians. Because these civilians will be members of the Chinese family in the future. Only, in one place. Such an order did not appear. That's the Vietnam region.

Peng Xuefeng naturally didn't want to deliberately injure civilians by mistake, although he was not afraid of discipline in the army, because he had enough reasons. But he would not give such an order as a last resort. The essence of the matter. It's not a question of disobedience. It's that he doesn't want that to happen in his own heart.

"That being the case. Then I'll go and deliver the order right away. Wang Benqing didn't say anything more, he didn't deny Peng Xuefeng's decision, not that he didn't have such rights. And even if he had, he wouldn't do it, because he was in favor of it. In front of the life of a soldier, many things are not important. And he just wanted to remind his chief.

With the order, Singapore was quickly drowned under heavy artillery fire, which had only been bombed by the city walls, and now the entire center of the city was within the range of the shells.

——————

Inside the city, real street fighting began.

"Bang bang bang!" A series of crisp rifle sounds rang out in the two cabins on either side of the street. Five or six fighters walking on either side of the infantry fighting vehicle, two of whom had fallen to the ground.

"Stop moving forward and be on the spot. A platoon, immediately attack, clear the little devils in the wooden houses on both sides of the street, and make sure that all enemy troops are eliminated. "I saw that two more soldiers fell under the guns of the Japanese army. Within an hour, even the commander of the vanguard company, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, couldn't help but have anger in his eyes, and roared loudly at the platoon commander beside him.

Calling for artillery support, the commander of the Vanguard Company did not do so, knowing that the number of artillery fire was limited, and the fighting elsewhere was likely to be more difficult. The wooden house is not a small building, and it is destroyed directly without calling in artillery.

"Yes, company commander!"

"Da-da-da... Boom, boom, boom "With a series ......of machine guns and grenade explosions sounding in the wooden houses on both sides of the street, a group of soldiers who were already full of anger, like hungry wolves, quickly pounced into the wooden houses where the little devils were hidden, and began to clear out the small Japanese troops hiding in the wooden houses.

A few minutes later, with the last little devil falling under the bayonets of the soldiers, the tired figure of a company commander finally appeared in front of Li Shengda.

"Company commander, all enemy forces have been cleared. Fourteen little devils were eliminated, and three of us were wounded. A platoon leader whispered.

"The little devil of the dog... How many people have we lost so far. How long is it before we can attack the Devil Command? Clenching his fists, the company commander asked loudly to the company commander in front of him.

"Company commander, we have already suffered fifty-six casualties. As for the direct front of us, there is still at least a kilometer to go from the Japanese garrison command. If nothing else, the further you attack, the stronger the little devil's resistance will be. The platoon leader reported with a worried face.

At this time, the signal soldier with a walkie-talkie on his back spoke up: "After receiving an order from the military headquarters, if you find any threatening target, immediately call for artillery support." All the heavy artillery and rocket artillery, as well as the air force units, will open the way for us. The armored brigade takes over the forward attacking infantry and adopts the tactics of fully armored units to open the way for infantry fighting vehicles. At the same time, the military headquarters reminded that in ten minutes, the bombers will arrive here and will launch a carpet bombing of the center of the city, please be careful. ”

"Great." The commander of the pioneer company suddenly showed a smile on his face, he was still thinking about how to reduce the casualties a little, now he didn't need to think about it, with enough artillery support, it was enough to turn all the buildings in front of him into ashes. And the bombers arrived, taking advantage of this time, they could also take a short break. "All of them retreat a hundred meters, organize temporary defensive fire, and rest for ten minutes."

At this moment, the sky has begun to slowly brighten, after a night of fighting, many soldiers are tired, hearing the words of the company commander, many soldiers came to a safe place, and they couldn't help but sit directly on the ground, leaning on armored vehicles and tanks. Take a break. Relieves tense fighting nerves.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and before the bombers had arrived, the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles of the main forces behind had already arrived at the front line. In the next battle, the tank unit will be the main force to open the way.

While tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were in position, the dense hum of bomber groups was also heard in the sky. A piercing and shrill whistling sound followed, and a dense stream of bombs instantly covered the center of Singapore. The incessant sound of explosions burst through the eardrums, and the shock waves kicked up a boundless cloud of dust.

Five minutes later, the bomber unit returned, and at this moment. The heart of Singapore has been reduced to a vast area of ruins. More than half of the construction collapsed. Debris was piled up all over the ground.

The streets in front of the pioneer camp have disappeared, and the buildings on both sides of the streets have been largely razed, and many of them have collapsed into ruins. Little devils hiding inside these buildings, of course. It was also buried alive in the rubble. Life and death are uncertain. Immobile.

"Three rows, immediately clear the remnants of the little devils in the ruins, one row, two rows. Offensive. ”

With the order to attack, the tank climbed up the ruins and began to move forward. 800 meters, 600 meters, 400 meters. Just when the Japanese command was in sight. In the heart of Singapore, on the ground, several huge gates have been quietly opened. One after another, Japanese Type 1 medium tanks and Type 97 tanks drove out of the gate one after another. As soon as it climbed to the ground, the tank gun began to fire.

This was Yamashita Fengwen's killer weapon, hiding the tanks of the two divisions in underground bunkers, waiting for the Chinese attacking troops to arrive and make a surprise attack. Moreover, according to the establishment of the Japanese tank division, there is also a cavalry brigade for reconnaissance missions.

Nearly 1,000 war horses, under the control of the devil cavalry, ran out of the gate, overtook their own tank troops, and ran towards the Chinese tank troops. These cavalrymen did not care about the Chinese armored forces, their purpose was the Chinese infantry behind the armored forces.

Despite the fact that the armored forces of China had already reacted, intensive artillery fire began to counterattack. But the tanks and cavalry of these little devils did not retreat in the slightest and continued to advance rapidly. In particular, the cavalry unit of the devil did not care at all that there were constantly comrades-in-arms around them who were shot off their horses by Chinese vehicle-mounted machine guns, as if such a scene did not exist, and turned a blind eye to it. Instead, they continued to charge forward desperately, and there was only one belief in their hearts, that is, the tanks that crossed the Chinese were followed by the infantry to be slaughtered by them.

However, when they finally passed through the Chinese tank unit at the cost of two-thirds of the casualties, they found that there were no Chinese infantry in front of them, but all infantry fighting vehicles, and the action of waving the saber was frozen. And the twin heavy machine guns on the infantry fighting vehicles were already aimed at them, and the muzzles of the guns were sticking out of the firing holes.

The dense gunfire suddenly rang out, the crackling bullets were endless, the collision between the flesh and the ground was also uninterrupted, and the neighing of the war horse was even more poignant.

The cavalry of thousands of little devils died out so quickly.

And ahead, in the face of the little devil chariot that suddenly appeared, this not only did not shock the tank crews, but stimulated their excitement. The collision of steel is their favorite life.

Although the little devil's Type 97 tank and the Type 1 medium tank are very weak, the 57 mm and 44 mm tank guns cannot penetrate the armor of the Chinese Tiger King, but in front of the 120 mm smoothbore gun, the little devil's Tengke defense is scum.

However, the interest of the Chinese tank crews was still high. Ignoring the attacks of the little devils, each tank calmly looks for the most suitable target.

However, they did not need to worry about not enough to fight, because these were two divisions of Japanese tanks. The combined number of tanks has already reached more than five hundred, and it is still in such a narrow range. You don't need to aim very precisely to hit the target.

Although Yamashita was a strong supporter of armored warfare, he did not learn really useful armored tactics in Germany, or even if he did, he was not in a position to use them. Because of the difference in strength, no matter how he tosses, unless his two tank divisions are equipped with a sufficient number of Type 4 and Type 5 main battle tanks, relying on Type 1 medium tanks and Type 97 tanks, China can reduce 10 at any time.

In order to properly arrange the tanks of the two tanks, he did not hesitate to recruit countless laborers to build a huge underground bunker in the city of Singapore to prevent the destruction of his treasure by the Chinese Air Force. And he had long expected that there would be such a day, and even the tactics and tactics had been formulated before.

However, all his actions were in vain. No matter which aspect it is, the tanks of his two tank divisions are the share of food delivery in front of the powerful Chinese Tiger King.

The powerful 120 mm tank gun, with every shot, can take away a little devil's tank. Some Chinese King Tiger tanks even rushed directly into the gate, overwhelmed the mid-tank that was about to come out, entered the underground bunker, and went head-to-head with the little devil tanks inside.

Under the force of force, any struggle is futile. When the ground was littered with burning frames and burning black smoke was constantly rising from underground bunkers, the end of the two Japanese tank divisions had arrived.

And when the excited tanks went on a rampage directly in the underground passage, directly collapsing the gate of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Command built underground, it was already full of corpses and burning important materials.

Each one is on their own, including Masanobu Tsuji and Yamashita Fumi, the exposed upper body, the chrysanthemum short knife, and the cross cut. (To be continued......)
