Chapter 100: Facing the Sixth Division (3)
The Japanese army showed signs of retreating, which was all expected by Zhao Zhi, there was no long-range firepower that could compete with Thunder, and the defense line had been poked by the Thunder attack troops like a broken fishing net, so Zhao Zhi commanded the Sixth Division to order to retreat and seek opportunities to fight again. "The tank formation is pressing, bite them hard, you can't let them withdraw so easily" The leakage armored formation commanded by Joey was also scattered by Zhao Zhi, relying on the rapid maneuver of the light stalker and the Renault tank, the armored formation commanded by Joey stabbed into the Japanese camp like a sharp sword.
"Turn right, turn right, follow my command car to separate them" Lifting the roof of the Stalker's command vehicle, Joey, wearing an American soft military cap, chewed a cigar in his mouth and played with a machine gun mounted on the roof of the car. After Joey's armored formation pierced into the Japanese camp, without waiting for the Japanese to use man-to-bullet tactics, they turned right and killed the Japanese from the right flank, and about 200 Japanese troops of the 13th Wing were encircled by Joey into his small encirclement. Divide, kill, divide, kill, Choey commanded his armored formation to cooperate with the infantry in the battle quite well, as long as the Japanese army was divided by Joey's armored car array, the Jewish soldiers who followed the battle would rush to the gunfire, and after a burst of fire, the divided Japanese army would become a corpse.
In the wafting smoke of gunpowder, the pungent smell of blood and barbecue made the Japanese soldiers who were marching in the wind miserable, and their tears and snot flowed into a mess. Different from the previous battles with the Chinese Army, from the beginning of the night battle to the present, the Thunder's offensive and intention are extremely obvious, that is, to defeat the Sixth Division, melee firepower, tanks, armored vehicles, and long-range artillery, the Thunder is not lacking, and it is even stronger than the Sixth Division. If they can live and who wants to die, the Japanese soldiers of the 6th Regiment are known as brave and fierce, but it does not mean that they are really not afraid of death and are willing to die.
Okamoto Hoyuki, who was determined to die, burned the flag of the 13th Wing in front of his officers, and the remaining 1,000 people of the entire 13th Wing came up to Bruno's 1st Battalion. The woman with her bare chest, Bruno has seen thousands of Japanese soldiers with white belts on their bare bodies charging en masse, and this is the first time he has seen them. The soldiers of the 13th Wing, who strode forward in a skirmisher formation, cut through the smoke miasma caused by the burning fire, shouting that they were carrying their board and lunged at the 1st Battalion of Bruno, which was advancing in a surprise attack.
"Fire, kill all these Japanese monkeys for me" Under Bruno's strong order, the Browning machine gun, which was supposed to start intercepting and firing at a distance of 400 meters, waited until 200 meters before starting to shoot. The machine gun had just sounded, and more than a dozen soldiers in front of the Japanese army were shot and fell to the ground, according to the normal tactics, the follow-up Japanese troops should be prostrate on the ground to shoot at Bruno's 1st battalion, but those Japanese soldiers who followed closely behind were like mad cows with their tails lit by fire, they all let out a cry, and rushed straight towards the battalion commanded by Bruno with their rifles.
"Oh my God, are these Japanese crazy? Fire, all fire at me" Bruno, incredulous, shouted and pulled Thomson's trigger at the Japanese in front. Okamoto Hoyuki's battle of Jade Crushing was obviously the wrong target, he should not have sent his soldiers to launch a death attack on Bruno's 1st Battalion, in front of a large amount of automatic firepower in front of the firepower network, even if the murderous aura of the soldiers of the 13th Wing could force the sun to fall in the sky, they were still destined to hit their heads and bleed.
"Stop shooting, stop shooting" As the commander of the first battalion, Bruno was in great pain at the moment, before he found that the attack of this group of Japanese soldiers was a little strange, in order to cause heavy casualties to the Japanese army, he deliberately put the Japanese army into a distance of 200 meters, ready to use firepower to bite the Japanese army for repeated attrition. In the end, the Japanese attacking troops were put to a pot by calling for artillery fire, but who would have thought that these unclothed Japanese soldiers were not afraid of death, and they were approaching them little by little with uninterrupted blocking fire, but fortunately, their 1st battalion was equipped with 6 machine guns, otherwise they might really break through their own defense line.
After more than 10 minutes of strong firepower, there were no Japanese soldiers who could stand up in front of Bruno's 1st Battalion, and the bullet casings and pungent smell of blood were all over the ground, coupled with those bare-chested Japanese soldiers lying in a pool of blood, even Bruno himself did not believe that his 1st Battalion had shot at least 500 Japanese soldiers in just ten minutes. The corpses of the Japanese soldiers were piled up in a mess like freshly cut wood, and not only Bruno and the soldiers of the 1st Battalion couldn't believe it, but even the other troops who arrived later were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Compared with Bruno, Okamoto Hoyuki, who also looked incredulous, was ashamed at the moment and even had the heart to immediately cut his belly, the 13th Wing, which was once impossible to chase, and the 13th Wing, which fled in a hurry, was scrapped, and the entire 500 soldiers who attacked the opponent's offensive were killed by the opponent in front of the battle, and they were all killed before they even turned over. The 13th Wing has been defeated, and even if they escape back alive, they will inevitably die, so they will simply disembowel, so they can still maintain the prestige of the Okamoto family. While the remaining 500 soldiers of the 13th Wing were divided and killed by Joey's tanks, the Wing Commander of the 13th Wing, Yasuyuki Okamoto, and more than a dozen of his officers committed suicide by disembowelment.
The troops who participated in the attack of Thunder followed slowly behind the armored forces in a hurry. This slow advance seemed ten times more terrible to the Japanese than a stormy onslaught. In the face of the overwhelming fierce firepower and fierce offensive, the helpless Sixth Division could only continue to retreat by surprise, but the thunder that was in full swing would never stop attacking, and after the 13th Wing was all killed, Kanda Zhengzhong, who had nothing to do, drew a brigade from the 23rd Infantry Wing, and hastily formed a defensive line under the cover of several mountain guns to win time for the withdrawal of the large army.
Xibu is Kanda Zhengzhong's only hope at present, as long as the baggage carried by the Sixth Division can reach Xibu smoothly, his Sixth Division will still have the opportunity and capital to make a comeback, but will Zhao Zhi give Kanda Zhengzhong such an opportunity? The answer is yes – never. When the 6th Division was attacked by bombs ashore at Yangon Harbor, Thunder's intelligence officers who remained in Yangon were mixed with the labor team cleaning up the port to obtain information on the baggage of the 6th Division.
Kanda Masazen, who was blown away by the thunderous K18 artillery group, ordered the order of retreat to be changed from the rear to the front team, and the 6th Division was lined up behind the 6th Baggage Wing, the Field Hospital, and the 6th Cavalry Wing. The order to retreat was conveyed, and as the first batch of troops to evacuate, the 6th Cavalry Wing became the escort force of the baggage wing and the field hospital, which can be said to speed up the retreat, and many cavalry had to contribute their mounts to carry supplies, and the cavalry wing that was supposed to gallop became the horsemen who led the horses and walked.
Yan Wudao, who commanded the mercenary troops, held a telescope and looked at the road ahead, and set off in the early morning to go around in a big circle, Yan Wudao, who lurked here, and his 500 mercenaries waited all night, and the rumbling cannon sound in the middle of the night made the mercenaries happy. As a battle reserve, they were responsible for cleaning up the remnants of the Japanese army that had slipped through the net, but the front was fighting until dawn, and they didn't see a single Japanese soldier here, except for Yan Wudao, the other mercenaries were agitated.
Ambush warfare is what mercenaries are good at, but mercenaries can't stand the loneliness of waiting for an ambush, especially at a time like this. "Your task is to take the mercenaries to form the outermost interception line, don't care about the consumption of ammunition, and kill as many Japanese troops as possible, which is crucial to whether we can defeat the Sixth Division in Xibu" Yan Wudao, who was also restless in his heart, remembered what Zhao Zhi told him when he set off, and when he thought of what Mr. had instructed, Yan Wudao's heart felt better.
"Captain, there's a signal ahead" There was a flash of reflection from the mirror on the opposite hillside, which happened to be seen by Yan Wudao's orderlies, it was a signal from a lurking sniper, it should be a Japanese army. At the same time, the sound of scouts sounded in the walkie-talkie, and it was indeed the Japanese army who appeared, and after Yan Wudao and they waited all night, the Japanese army finally appeared.
The ambushed and concealed mercenaries entered their respective positions according to the arrangement of Yan Wudao, and the machine guns and mortars were ready, and the experienced old mercenaries all switched to the long-range Garland this time, and more mercenaries took out spare bullet bridges and placed them on their sides, so that they could quickly reload the bullets after the battle started. The Japanese army came, and the first to appear on the road were dozens of Japanese cavalrymen, and the fat and strong high-headed horses looked at Yan Wudao's eyes for a while, riding this thing is more energetic than driving a jeep, and I can't say that I want to capture a horse of this thing this time.
The hidden scouts in front did not send a signal, Yan Wudao and they were just ready for battle but did not fire rashly, "pop" "pop" The Japanese cavalry used horse rifles to conduct fire reconnaissance on the slopes on both sides of the road, and all suspicious places were their targets, and the retreat was imminent, and they no longer had the spare troops to search for suspicious positions. "It's the Japanese army's baggage troops and ambulance soldiers, I didn't see the Japanese troops with escorts" The scouts in front finally came with the news, and the scouts regarded the cavalry leading the horses as soldiers of the Japanese baggage troops.
The speed of the Sixth Baggage Wing was very fast, and not long after the sharp soldiers of the Cavalry Wing had passed, the figure of the Baggage Wing appeared in Yan Wudao's sight. "Damn, why do little Japan have so many horses?" Looking at the long team of horses on the road, Yan Wudao couldn't help but curse secretly, if these horses were all returned to him, maybe the mercenary force would be able to form a cavalry team.
