Chapter 801: Storming Lashio (2)
In the distance, the Japanese headquarters.
Two tricycles cleared the way, followed by two armoured vehicles, followed by several large trucks, coming from the other end of the valley, along the dirt road, and soon stopped in the clearing of the valley basin.
Seeing this convoy coming, many Japanese soldiers stood up and saluted, and several Japanese officers even trotted all the way and opened the doors of the two armored vehicles with a respectful face, and several senior officers of the little devils came down from inside, a Japanese lieutenant general, a Japanese major general, and two Japanese military officers.
Seeing this scene, the commander of the reconnaissance company who was paying attention to the situation here in the distance was slightly excited, but he didn't expect that in this valley was actually a Japanese division-level headquarters, this time, he picked up a big fish.
This is indeed a Japanese division headquarters, one of the several master regiments of the Japanese army stationed in Lashio, and the headquarters of the 22nd Division of the little devil is stationed here.
The 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, one of the A divisions, is one of the few A divisions in the entire Southeast Asian Army, two years ago, the 22nd Division was still a B division, and later upgraded and expanded into a A division, and the division commander was Lieutenant General Imamura Jiro.
The Japanese deployed the 22nd Division and the 57th Division on the northern periphery of Lashio in order to block the southward movement of the Chinese army.
Now, Imamura Jiro, who has a serious expression, is returning from the front line inspection, and the battle on the front line is unfavorable, which makes Imamura Jiro's heart heavy, and Imamura Jiro never thought that he would have a first-class division. Coupled with the cooperation of the 57th Division, it has not been able to stop the pace of the Chinese army's advance, and at present, the Chinese army is advancing smoothly.
After Jiro Imamura got out of the car, he took a group of little devil officers and entered the largest tent without stopping.
*********
1st Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division of the 1st Army.
Commander He had already been reported, and Commander He never expected that he would find a very hidden headquarters of the Japanese army on his march, and it might be a headquarters above the wing level.
Head He thought in his heart. If it's a Japanese brigade-level headquarters, it's a lot of money. There is at least one little devil major general in the brigade level headquarters, and being able to kill a little devil major general is a great achievement, think of it. Head He was slightly excited.
"First battalion commander! Second battalion commander! Three battalion commanders! ”
"Here!" I heard my own regiment commander shouting himself. The three battalion commanders not far away immediately trotted all the way over. said in unison: "Regiment leader! What are your instructions? ”
Regiment Commander He motioned to his guards to open the military map he was carrying, and then pointed to the map and said, "Commander of the first battalion, lead your first battalion." Sneak around from here, and let me attack from this side of the valley, where there is a large headquarters of the Japanese army, don't be careless. ”
Hearing that there was a large headquarters, the commander of the first battalion immediately said in a loud voice: "Regiment commander! You can rest assured that your deployed tasks will be completed beautifully. ”
"Second battalion commander! Your mission is to attack from the other side of the valley. ”
The second battalion commander next to him had already had his eyes shining, and when he learned that there was a large headquarters of the Japanese army, he was naturally very excited, and immediately said: "Regiment commander!" We're going to beat the little devils to the ground. ”
Regiment Commander He nodded, then looked at the hill next to him, which was no more than two or three hundred meters high, and said: "The soldiers of the third battalion came with me, everyone climbed up the mountain, rushed down the valley, and brought me the headquarters of the Japanese army with everyone." ”
The third battalion also said loudly: "Yes! ”
At present, the position of the 1st Regiment is only a mountain away from the headquarters of the Japanese army, and there is a mountain ridge in between, a mountain ridge that is only two or three hundred meters high.
This north-south mountain range, the terrain is gentle, the sparse shrubs on the mountain, it is very easy to climb to the top of the mountain, Commander He personally led the three battalions, as well as the troops directly under the regiment, everyone only took half an hour, to climb the mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain, hidden behind a bush, Regiment Commander He took his telescope and carefully observed the bottom of the valley not far away, Regiment Commander He was condescending and saw clearly, it was indeed a large headquarters, there were more than a dozen tents large and small, and at least a dozen large trucks and three or four armored vehicles were parked in the valley basin.
In addition, the little devils patrolling in the open space are not small, at least hundreds, looking at this scale, and based on experience, Regiment Commander He feels that it should be at least a little devil brigade-level headquarters, and it may also be a Japanese division headquarters.
Division Headquarters! Thinking about it, Captain He was excited.
It was not easy to calm down the excitement, and Regiment Commander He had already seen with a telescope that the first and second battalions had reached the entrances and exits on both sides of the valley, and had successfully blocked the valley, and the Japanese troops in the valley had become turtles in the urn.
"Third battalion commander, concentrate all the mortars in your battalion and bombard the Japanese headquarters at the bottom of the valley for me."
At the bottom of the valley, about a few hundred meters from the top of the hill, it was in the range of 60-mm mortars, and not only the three battalions were armed with 18 60-mm mortars, but also the first mortar company directly under the regiment was also armed with 12 81-mm guns.
Soon, these mortars were erected on the top of the mountain, the mortars had low terrain requirements, even on the top of the mountain, it was very convenient to erect, 18 60-mm mortars, 12 81-mm artillery guns were erected one after another.
"Pass my orders, send flares, and get ready for battle!"
A dazzling flare rose into the sky, and almost all the fighters of the entire regiment saw it, and of course, the Japanese troops in the valley also saw it.
The Japanese troops at the bottom of the valley saw a signal flare suddenly rising on the top of the mountain, and these Japanese soldiers were nervous, and a little devil Shaozo even raised his telescope for the first time and hurriedly looked at the mountain not far away.
At first glance, the little devil Shaozo almost dropped his telescope on the ground, and a large number of Chinese soldiers faintly appeared on the mountain, if it were not for the telescope, the little devil would not be able to find the soldiers on the top of these mountains, the soldiers were all field camouflage uniforms, under the cover of trees and shrubs, very hidden.
"Yaga! It's all Chinese troops! ”
After the little devil Shaozuo finished shouting angrily, a large sharp whistling sound sounded almost at the same time, and a whole 30 mortars on the top of the mountain began to wield.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Dense mortar shells exploded in the valley basin, and the 10 rounds of 30 mortars fired sharply, which was very terrifying, and the mortar shells were simply overwhelming.
Many little devils were blown up before they could react, and several trucks parked in the basin were also blown up, even the armored vehicles of the little devils, and one was blown up, and this armored car was hit by several mortar shells in a row.
Several of the little devil's tents were also destroyed, and the head of the little devil division, Imamura Jiro, was lucky, and the big tent where Imamura Jiro was located was not hit by the bomb.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Retreat! ”
A little devil Dazuo was not slow to react, and the overwhelming explosion outside remembered, and the little devil Dazuo immediately persuaded him to retreat, and it could be guessed from such a dense explosion that the comer was not good.
Imamura Jiro immediately straddled his command knife and hurried out of the tent, and as soon as he got out of the tent, Imamura Jiro heard several explosions behind him, and his big tent was blown away.
Jiro Imamura broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted, "Withdraw!" Hurry up and retreat! ”
At this time, an earth-shattering shout sounded from the top of the mountain, and hundreds of warriors, armed with weapons, rushed down one after another.
Seeing so many fighters rushing down, the little devils turned pale with fright, and Jiro Imamura was the same, his face was a little pale.
Imamura Jiro staggered, embarrassed and ran to an armored car not far away, at this time, the shelling on the top of the mountain had ended, and several Japanese armored vehicles were still not destroyed, Imamura Jiro obviously took a fancy to this armored car and was ready to use this armored car to escape for his life.
At both ends of the valley, earth-shattering shouts also sounded, and the soldiers of the first and second battalions also rushed over with weapons, and the soldiers shot while charging, and the little devils who resisted were killed one after another.
Seeing that there were a large number of Chinese soldiers in the valleys on both sides, Imamura Jiro ran faster, leading a group of little devil officers to hurriedly run to the armored car in the distance.
With a distance of more than 100 meters, why is it so far today, Jiro Imamura can't wait to run in front of this armored car as soon as possible, and then board this armored car and drive his full power to fight his way out.
Finally, Imamura Jiro ran in front of the armored car, Imamura Jiro quickly opened the car door, climbed into it, and hurriedly said: "Quick!" Quickly open the way. ”
The driver of the little devil also got in and was ordered to start the armored car immediately, and the rest of the little devil officers who ran over with Imamura Jiro, including a major general, two large sa, in addition, several Nakasa and Shaosa.
A group of little devil officers, completely ignoring the armored car that had been started, drilled into it one by one, and soon, this armored car was tightly stuffed, at least seven or eight people came in, and a group of little devil officers were like sardines.
There are also some junior and low-level officers who have not been able to get in, and they are desperately climbing onto the roof of the car, or hanging on the car, and now, it is important for the little devils to escape.
In the distance, a soldier carrying a 40 mm rocket launcher aimed at the armored car, and saw that there were a lot of little devil officers hanging outside the armor, the soldiers couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, calmly aiming, fired a rocket.
