, Chapter 1072 faintly smells of gunpowder

Chu Tian commanded three detachments, and after ambushing the 139th Wing of the Japanese Army, he successively received reports from various detachments, which were similar to him here, and they all exchanged fire with the Japanese army, and the fight was very easy.

Chu Tian's mind has not yet warmed up to that kind of Cheng dù, he analyzed, the Japanese troops in a scattered state, after being suddenly attacked, out of safety considerations, will instinctively move closer together, that is more than 200,000 little devils, if that detachment is a little careless, it is wrapped in the Japanese army gathered by the hedgehog, and it is too late to withdraw, it will be the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

There are so many little devils, even if they use people to squeeze more than 200 special combat soldiers, they can squeeze more than 200 special combat personnel into meat sauce, and in the face of absolutely superior troops, no matter how good a single soldier is, it will not help, so he ordered all detachments to end the battle as much as possible, immediately withdraw from the battlefield, keep a certain distance from the Japanese troops, and closely monitor them.

In order to prevent the detachment commander from being red-eyed and greedy for merit, he particularly emphasized in his order, "All detachments should keep in mind their own tasks, we are not fighting the Japanese army head-on, but waiting for an opportunity to move, attacking and disrupting the rhythm of the Japanese army, and trapping the Japanese army in the Savage Mountain." Chu Tian's calmness and judgment of the battle situation did save most of the detachments of the attacking column.

Because, the subsequent order issued by Terauchi Shou was almost consistent with Chutian's judgment, if he went deep into the depth of the Japanese army, it would be difficult to escape even if he was lucky, he would get out of the gap of more than 200,000 Japanese troops, and retreat while fighting, just as Terauchi Shouichi hoped, to give the Japanese army out of the Savage Mountain and lead the way for free.

Chutian's order to get out of battle made the long-awaited hope of Shouichi in the temple, and the calculation that played quite loudly was completely frustrated, and more than 200,000 soldiers gathered together again, not to mention wild vegetable soup, even drinking water has become a problem, and it is still the place where I walked a few days ago, it has long been like a locust transit, even the leaves have been picked, and the wild vegetables that poison people have become luxuries, only senior officers at the general level, once in a while, the Japanese army has really entered a desperate situation.

With so many people gathered together, hunger and injury, and the feelings of the soldiers had reached the point of getting out of control, Terauchi Shouichi had no choice but to give the last order in pain, "All troops, with a wing as a unit, disperse and break through, and after walking out of the Savage Mountain, the place of assembly is Myitkyina in northern Burma," which means that the last unit of the southern Japanese branch of the army, when it was on the verge of despair, had to choose the way to break into pieces and flee for their lives.

The main force of the Japanese army, which had wreaked havoc in southern China and was ambitious to capture Chongqing, the capital of the Nationalist Government, was forced into the Savage Mountains by Tang Qiu, where the ammunition was exhausted and the food was exhausted, the wounded were left without medicine, and the morale of the soldiers was weakened, and the Japanese army had more than 480,000 troops and was the largest Japanese combat group in southern China.

Transferred to southern China for a few months, in addition to the capture of Guiyang when the spirit of high-spirited, invincible, fell through the war, first frustrated in Duyun City, then blocked in Loushan Pass, Chishui River, and then blocked in Songshao Pass, extremely to Chengjiang Seventh Army annihilation, Temple Shouyi has been unable to return to the sky, Savage Mountain became the last destination of the Japanese army, the remaining 200,000 soldiers, forced by the harsh natural environment, just disappeared, each fled for his life, but I don't know, how many people can live to see the sky of Myitkyina in northern Myanmar.

After giving the order, the old man Shouichi in the temple burst into tears, almost uncontrollable, what is called a tree falling and scattering, this is the truest portrayal, muttering to himself: "I am ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor, ashamed of the Japanese Empire, I am a sinner of the Empire!" He thought of it, but he didn't expect that the more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers who were brought into the battlefield of aggression against China by him and now abandoned by him were going to commit suicide by disembowelment.

The staff officers and staff tried their best to dissuade him, and Terauchi Shouichi got off the donkey, half-pushed and half-put away his tears, packed up, and under the protection of the headquarters guards, followed the footsteps of the soldiers, and stepped into the unknown front.

Terauchi Shouichi divided the whole into parts, creating countless opportunities for the Chutian attack column to destroy the Japanese army, and more than 20 special operations detachments took turns to go into battle to their heart's content, using various methods to contain the Japanese regiment in the savage mountains, and the independent division aviation unit, the Southern Flying Group, and dozens of planes from two transport aircraft groups provided logistical support for the attack column.

Just last night, Chutian received a report from the fifth detachment that they used a river to build a dam upstream, and when the Japanese army crossed the river, they suddenly broke the embankment, and the waves several meters high licked thousands of little devils in at once, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army crossing the river to be cut into two sections, and wiped out all the more than 1,000 Japanese troops left on the south bank of the river, and in this battle, the fifth detachment only suffered eight wounds.

After receiving the telegram, Chutian was overjoyed, and the attack column was in the savage mountain, fighting with the Japanese army without fighting spirit for more than 20 days, with less than 200 casualties, of which less than 30 were killed, and the problem of the wounded, Chutian did not have to worry at all, the transport aircraft brigade transported the wounded away at any time, and sent supplementary troops and ammunition to supply, and the attack column had thoroughly mastered the rhythm of the battlefield, how to fight, which way to fight, where to fight, each detachment could choose freely, anyway, how convenient and how to fight.

By the end of October, the casualties and non-combat attrition of the Japanese army had exceeded 60,000 people, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers could be seen everywhere in the dense woods, beside the streams, and on the muddy mountain roads, and the remaining 100,000 Japanese troops, like headless flies, were struggling in the Savage Mountain, entering the Savage Mountain for more than a month, and had not yet turned out of this man-eating subtropical primeval forest.

Terauchi Shouichi was already numb, the corpse of the soldier who had fallen had become a signpost for the headquarters of the dispatch army, in front, a few gunshots rang out, the captain of the guard just raised his tired eyelids, no need to ask, it was a soldier who committed suicide, sure enough, he didn't go far, and he saw that more than a dozen soldiers who were described as withered were lying neatly on the muddy ground, among them, there was also a young officer, all of whom were shot in the heart.

One night in early November, after completing an ambush, Chutian reported the current situation of the Japanese army to the division commander Tang Qiuli in detail, and based on his experience and results in fighting with the Japanese army for more than 20 days, he came to the following conclusion: "Division commander, at present, the Japanese army has fallen into a state of loss of control, fighting on its own, and even fighting for a little wild vegetables, and there is no discipline at all. Annihilated most of the Japanese army in the Savage Mountains in one fell swoop. ”

Division Commander Tang Qiuli called back, "Commander of the Chutian detachment, the Japanese army in the Savage Mountain is no longer enough to cause trouble, the attack column will not be evacuated for the time being, and there is no need to increase the troops, the primeval forest of the Savage Mountain can reach a million male soldiers, you stick to the original tactics, preserve your strength, focus on harassment and ambush, and try to delay the speed of the Japanese army, in the long run, it will definitely kill the Japanese army." ”

Terauchi Shouichi in the Savage Mountain has become a sick cat with no teeth and broken claws, and there is no need to increase the number of troops at all, as long as Chutian's attack column tries to drag the Japanese army as much as possible, the vast Savage Mountain will devour these little devils.

When Tang Qiuli sent a telegram to Chutian, his mood was undoubtedly very pleasant, since the last Tengchong negotiation, the British were very well-behaved, and the British troops near the border line retreated one after another, trying to disengage from the troops of the independent division, for fear of angering Tang Qiuli, a big and arrogant warlord, of course, this is the assertion of Alexander and Ebson to Tang Qiuli.

This is also the strategy of the two of them, before the reinforcements from the homeland are reached, do not engage in any kind of engagement with the troops of the independent division, of course, even if Alexander has the mind to fight, the soldiers in his hands have been beaten by the Chinese to the terrified and have no fighting spirit, moreover, the situation in Southeast Asia suddenly became tense, and the Japanese were ready to move.

Japan's Southeast Asian dispatch troops, which had originally returned to Hainan Island and Taiwan Island, reappeared near the Indochina Peninsula and in the waters of the Bay of Bengal, and the Japanese Navy's First and Third Fleets continued to haunt these waters.

Both of them are old foxes who have been operating in British overseas territories for many years, and this kind of tension that is about to rain and wind is full of buildings, naturally they can't escape their sense of smell, and one telegram after another, snowflakes flew to the British government, but there was no reply, and the British cabinet and parliament invariably chose to remain silent.

In December, Alexander and Ebson's long-awaited domestic news finally arrived, which was a top-secret telegram jointly sent by the British Colonial Office and the War Office, the content of which was divided into two parts, one was to inform Britain of the situation of the war in Britain and continental Europe, and the other was to decide the final way out of the British colonies in Southeast Asia.

After reading the telegram, Alexander and Ebson, full of eager anticipation, poured down like a basin of cold water mixed with the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean, and poured them on their hearts, not only disappointed, but also full of horror.

Not to mention sending troops to support the Southeast Asian colonies in Britain, even in the European battlefield to protect itself, it is still difficult, the German mechanized troops, swept across the European continent, such as entering a no-man's land, the countries of the European continent, there is no opponent in a round at all, France is in danger, Britain is not having a good time on the European continent, the British and French coalition troops are hundreds of thousands, they are losing and retreating, and they are forced to the edge of the English Channel, whether they can be completely annihilated, it is still unknown.

That is to say, from the end of 1939, the colonies of the British Empire in Southeast Asia will have to be self-reliant and weaned, and they will have to rely on themselves for everything, and in Southeast Asia, Tang Qiuli and the Japanese, who pose the greatest threat, are not fuel-efficient lamps, which makes Alexander and Ebson, who have always been proud of Britain's strong national strength, not frightened and bitter.
