Chapter 815: The Road to Heavenlessness
As soon as the morning dawned, the Japanese army moved. On the only not wide mountain road in Yadong and Cuona, the Japanese army was like a long dragon, winding forward.
They were silent, they carried all the supplies, they didn't leave footprints, they didn't hesitate to break the boat.
All the Han puppet army and the Tibetan puppet army are laborers, and those traitors have no use value, and of course they are also laborers. Those laborers who brought them carried the food and materials on their shoulders and walked on the roof of the world.
The stolen yaks served as the main force in the team, holding guns and cannons, and slowly walking on the mountain road.
These two teams have no air defense, no flank protection, and they are just like a long snake, winding through the mountains, without the slightest fear of an ambush.
The air raid did not come again, and the forward observation post there in Naqu did not find enemy planes, and the sky was dark on Zhilu Road, so that no enemy planes appeared.
This situation relieved Hideki Tojo, who was marching in the queue. He sat in a makeshift tent, drinking broth, wondering why the enemy had not continued the air raids.
If the air raids continue, they will have nowhere to hide and will be wiped out, and at least half of them will die in the air raids.
Fortunately, he was full of expectations to be able to reach the front line of the British army, looking forward to releasing his soul in the rain of bullets and bullets, and drawing a perfect end to his military career.
At this time, the British army did not know that the Japanese army had arrived not far from the border, and they strictly obeyed the order, did not cross the Japanese defense line of several hundred people, did not do in-depth reconnaissance, and just defended passively, not knowing that the flames of war in the road were about to ignite on them.
In the United States, Dong Ku's daily work is extremely simple. It's just digging and nothing else. It has been bought and belongs to a private farm. Even if you don't buy it, it's off the beaten track and no one will come here to see the scenery.
After all, the exploration here was a foregone conclusion more than ten years ago, and there are no resources here. Apart from the dry Mafu Lake, there is not much to exploit in the surrounding mountain resources.
Carson City had fallen into the hands of Pete, who had risen suddenly, and all voices of resistance had disappeared in a matter of days. His methods were bloody and effective, and after Phil was destroyed, David surrendered, and Old Jack's Black Rose became Pete's backyard, these people were forced to disappear some familiar and oppositional forces and chose to surrender.
Got Carson City. Guo Weiquan and Zuo Boyang rushed to San Francisco with the guards and Huya soldiers, and after taking San Francisco, they would turn back to Washington, and when the army arrived, they would launch a powerful force to infiltrate and wipe out the whole territory.
The move of the United States did not affect the outside world, and the Soviet Union and Finland were still inseparable. Without further action, the British and French tentatively attacked a few kilometers later. Retreat again, and hold still.
They didn't know that the first place to kick off the prelude to World War II would be the roof of the world, and it would be the British colony of India.
Enron did not have the slightest incident during the night, and after Tojo Hideki opened his eyes, he gave the order to march to the last of his feet. They were already less than fifteen kilometers from Gangtok, the line of defense of the British army. They had to prepare for the attack before it got dark.
As for whether the reconnaissance team lurking in the defense line can complete the task of destroying the containment, he is ready to shoot at this time, and he can't wait to deploy carefully, waiting to destroy the opponent's ammunition depot. Artillery positions.
The march began again after dawn. The Japanese cautiously moved forward. They had already learned that their enemy was the British army in front, and that they were going to fight their way back to their homeland.
In the other direction, Okamura Ninji and Nakajima Isago were also close to the British defense line, and in the later position of southern Tibet, that Taxigang, where there were more than 40,000 A-San veterans and more than 5,000 British elites, they built a three-kilometer-long defense line, full of guns and artillery, and their strength was good. They are also followed by nearly 100,000 recruits, who will be sent to the front with refueling tactics to defend against a possible attack.
When Okamura Ninji saw the British position through the binoculars, he quietly ordered to report to Hideki Tojo, three long and one short, without written telegrams, that he was in place.
And Hideki Tojo also saw Gangtok in the distance, where the figures were clearly visible. Suddenly, after receiving a telegram from Okamura Ninji, he ordered the troops not to live, and the 92 infantry guns and mortars were all in position, and at 3 o'clock in the morning, when the people were most sleepy, they launched an attack, preparing to take advantage of the darkness and rush to the positions of the British troops in one fell swoop. As long as he was close to the British army, he believed that fighting with a white knuckle would be enough to break the British army's will to resist.
The British troops on the opposite side did not know that they were already covered by Japanese artillery fire, nor did they know that the Japanese army was only less than a kilometer away from them, and the hundreds of thousands of attacking troops under the pressure of black pressure were all baggage yaks.
The night gradually deepened, and the British army and Ah San, who did not know that the catastrophe was coming, fell asleep peacefully. They were not worried about the Japanese attack, they knew that they wanted to come from the mountains, and the Japanese army would carry mortars of 3,000 and 6,000 meters at most, 92 infantry guns, as long as the other side dared to attack, the long-range artillery behind would destroy all the enemy's artillery in a few minutes, and tear apart all the attacking troops.
In the dark night, everything was quiet, and the Japanese soldiers ate and slept before dark, saving up enough energy for the midnight attack.
They woke up quietly at 1 o'clock, one by one in the freezing and shivering night, hurriedly gnawing on pieces of meat, and then moved closer to the attacking position, waiting for the start of the shelling and launching the attack.
Just as they were moving, suddenly, a shocking bang rang out from the British position in the distance, and with it, a dazzling fire rose. Immediately after that, explosions rose one after another, illuminating the British position.
The Japanese troops who were preparing to attack were startled and fell to the ground one after another, not knowing what was happening in the British position, thinking that the other side had already learned about their actions and began to shell. And they lay down, naturally hiding from the shelling.
"What's going on?!"
Hideki Tojo asked in a ravine about two kilometers behind the offensive position.
Soon, the artillerymen who were preparing for the shelling knew what was happening in the road, and the British did not know what caused a big explosion in the road, and the flames were in the sky, and the positions on the front line were affected, and there were several explosions.
What's going on? Did the infiltrated reconnaissance team succeed in sabotage?
Hideki Tojo pondered as he ran towards the mountain beam.
At this moment, Seishiro Itagaki took two steps and said, "Your Excellency General, no matter what the reason, this is an opportunity, and it is fleeting!" ”
Hideki Tojo felt the violent shaking of the earth, and the sound of the thunderous explosion, although it was more than three kilometers apart, it was not difficult to judge that the power of the explosion was absolutely huge.
Right! This is the opportunity!!
He was not stupid, reacted instantly, and then ordered an attack.
At the same time, the same scene happened there, twenty minutes before the time of the attack, the troops were approaching the offensive position, but the position of the British army on the opposite side suddenly made a loud noise, and the fireball rose dozens of meters, illuminating everything around.
Okamura Ninji and Nakajima Imago reacted much faster than Hideki Tojo, and in the sound of explosions, in the shaking of the enemy, they launched an attack on all fronts.
The violent explosion caused chaos among the British troops, and they didn't know what happened to the road, especially near the explosion location, where there were countless casualties.
In the panic, a piercing scream sounded in the sky, and then a dense number of shells fell on the panicked British troops and the crowd of Ah San.
The roaring explosion emptied the positions in patches, and the British had no idea that the Japanese would dare to attack their lines with rudimentary infantry weapons.
The abrupt blow immediately threw the British army into disarray, and countless corpses flew through the air. Then there was another loud bang from the artillery position a few kilometers away, where the fire was rising for tens of meters, and they could clearly see it from here.
The shelling Japanese poured shells in a stunned state, while the infantry silently moved towards the forward positions.
The British were no ordinary troops, and after a short period of panic, they rushed to the forward positions under the shelling, and then, in the darkness of the night, tongues of fire lit up, and heavy machine guns and Maxims opened fire.
The light machine guns and some heavy machine guns were hiding in the shadows, waiting to inflict heavy damage on the enemy who pounced.
Ignoring the screams of bullets overhead, the Japanese continued to hunch forward, and as long as they got close to about a hundred meters, they could shoot at those targets and launch a charge.
As more and more British troops moved into positions, the attacking Japanese forces were likely to pay a heavy price.
But at this moment, the tongues of fire that served as attracting artillery fire were extinguished one after another, so that the attacking Japanese army had no threat of stray bullets, and even mortars were useless, so they accelerated the speed of approaching.
As they approached 100 meters, in the firelight, the British finally found the figure of the Japanese army in the dark, and then, the dense shooting suddenly burst out, and the bullets flew out, and in a short moment, the attacking Japanese army was firmly covered.
The attacking Japanese troops were suppressed by the rain of bullets, and they lay down one after another, and in the continuous shooting, they set up light machine guns and prepared for a charge.
"Charge!!"
With the sound of a stiff crooked handle, the Japanese commander gave the order to charge.
The Japanese soldiers stood up with a howl, holding the 38 big cover, and launched a charge to the position 100 meters away, ignoring the falling figures.
The British seemed to be timid, and at the moment when the Japanese launched an attack, the tongues of fire were extinguished, and the gunfire became sparse.
This greatly reduced the pressure on the charging Japanese troops, and they rushed to the British position with a howl, and then rushed into the trenches like a tidal wave, and rushed into the depth of the position.
The attack, which was supposed to have suffered heavy casualties, went unexpectedly smoothly, and in just two or three minutes, the Japanese troops actually swarmed into the position, opening a way to life for the mortal situation. (To be continued......)
