Chapter 1585 Plotting against Stilwell

The two battalions of the Japanese Eagle and Filial Piety Wing launched an attack on the position of the 18th Regiment of the 5th Infantry Division of the US Army, which was blocked on the front line of the Calais Mountains, like a torrential rain in summer, coming and going quickly, and after occupying the first line of the US army's position, they gave up and all of them withdrew to their original positions.

For this cat-and-mouse game, the Eagle Filial Piety Wing has to carry out it several times a day, and the Japanese army, from officers to ordinary soldiers, calls this kind of game "hunting", and the prey is, of course, the American soldiers on the opposite side.

However, because the US artillery did not open their eyes, they knocked down the wing flag of the 51st Wing and annoyed the wing commander Takataka Dazuo, and today's attack was more than twice as loud as every day, and the ferocity of the attack was more than every time, and correspondingly, the casualties caused to the 18th Regiment of the US Army were also much more.

All the officers and men of the 18th Regiment of the US Army understood why this was the case, but Stilwell did not understand, and when he saw the casualties of the US soldiers, he was a little suspicious that his adjutant, Major Higgs, had told him about the casualties of the 18th Regiment, if every attack of the Japanese army was of this intensity, the casualties of the soldiers should be very large.

However, from the point of view of an experienced commander, the cause of the casualties of the troops was not only the fierceness of the Japanese attack, but a large part of the reason was the fortifications of the 18th Regiment, which were built quite poorly and the layout was unreasonable.

Stilwell's anger shifted from the glaring Japanese flag to the fortifications of his own troops, he looked at the regimental commander Albert sternly, and said: "Colonel Albert, as a regimental commander, did you order your subordinates to build fortifications like this?" Even the most basic common-sense problems can be ignored, and many soldiers' lives will be lost in vain because of such bad fortifications! ”

"I will not allow a commander, on the battlefield, to have such a clumsy appearance, never allow! Commander Albert, I order you, in my capacity as commander, to immediately reinforce and rebuild the fortifications, here, to dig another eighty centimeters, and there, on the route where the Japanese can charge, to build a right-angle anti-infantry trench, and to add several additional points of fire! ”

Speaking of purely military issues, Stilwell unconsciously stepped into the role, stood up, and in front of Commander Albert, talked about the basic points of building fortifications, as well as the problems that needed attention, and so on.

Colonel Albert, on the other hand, was anxious, and the ferocious attack of the Japanese army just now, to tell the truth, scared him enough, and he also knew that it was all the 20 or so shells that caused the trouble, and he quickly sent the commander who caused the trouble away, and he would recover as usual, as for what Stilwell said about how to build fortifications, etc., he didn't hear a word in his ears at all.

Before it was easy for Stilwell to catch his breath, Albert hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Excellency Commander, the headquarters has written down, and the fortifications must be improved and strengthened according to your requirements, it is too dangerous here, so please return to the division headquarters?" ”

Albert was telling the truth, there was no hypocrisy at all, the forward position was so close to the Japanese position, in case of any unexpected situation, His Excellency the Commander encountered an accident on the position of his regiment, then he had to go to the military court! This cowboy general doesn't have the slightest personal feelings for himself, but he definitely doesn't want him to jeopardize his future!

Colonel Albert was really anxious, but in Stilwell's ears, there were too many perfunctory ingredients, Stilwell rejected him without hesitation, and said: "Commander Albert, I will not leave until the fortifications on the position of the Eighteenth Regiment have been thoroughly improved and reinforced, it is safe there, it is not safe to be on the battlefield, and the position of the soldiers is where there is the sound of gunfire!" ”

Albert swallowed anxiously, full of helplessness, and his Excellency, this unpopular commander, began to lose his temper again.

And what Chu Tian saw in the mirror of the high-powered artillery team was a group of people around Stilwell, pointing fingers at the position.

At first, Chu Tian didn't know what that group of people was doing, and he didn't know what Stilwell would look like when he was lying on the position, observing the US soldiers after being attacked, and after seeing a group of people, Chu Tian relied on his intuition to think that it was a group of US military officers, so he secretly took care of it, and slowly adjusted the focus of the artillery mirror back and forth, and the target gradually became clear in his sight.

Suddenly, Chu Tian's heart was shocked, his breathing was a little short, he could see that Stilwell was in that group of officers, although it was not very real, but the general outline was absolutely not wrong, Chu Tian had seen Stilwell, just when Stilwell was ordered by MacArthur to rush to Yangon to meet with the division commander to discuss the "Tiger Shark Action Plan", Chu Tian took a special operations detachment, together with the guard brigade of the Mountain Tigers, to serve as the security work at the meeting site.

It was only once that Chu Tian, who had been strictly trained, remembered all the characteristics of Stilwell, and after confirming that it was correct, he adjusted his feelings and tried to calm himself down.

Chutian was faced with a choice, this was the best chance to kill Stilwell, it was very simple, to transmit the coordinates of Stilwell's current location to the Japanese artillery, as long as the artillery fire covered the area of the bomb, no one would survive.

However, Chutian still couldn't make up his mind to borrow the hands of the Japanese to get rid of Stilwell, unknowingly, without any sequelae, but from another point of view, once Stilwell was killed, would the American troops in the Calais Mountains collapse on the front line because of this? Whether it will affect the division commander's strategic plan, you must know that one of your own decisions can change the situation of the battle on Luzon!

Chu Tian's hesitation, only a moment of effort, he had already decided, borrowing a knife to kill, just when Chu Tian hesitated, he remembered what the division commander said, "After the Japanese were defeated, if the strength of the Americans did not suffer heavy losses, in the South Pacific region, our ultimate opponent will be the Americans, because the Americans will never be willing to let such a rich land fall into the hands of the Chinese, and finally fight with the Americans, it is inevitable!" ”

What prompted Chu Tianxia to make up his mind was also this passage of the division commander, from a certain Cheng dù, Stilwell would be a strong opponent of the independent division in the future, and the opportunity could not be missed, and the killing intent in Chu Tian's heart could not be suppressed.

Eagle Filial Piety Dazuo noticed the change in Chu Tian and asked in surprise, "Fujino-kun, what do you see?" What surprised you so much? If it's an American, then there's no need, after every Imperial attack, the biggest thing they do is to bury the corpses and carry away the wounded, I'm used to it, by the way, my subordinates have captured dozens of American prisoners of war, don't you want your knives to stick to the blood of the enemy? ”。

Ying Xiao Dazuo's words are very explicit, he wants Chu Tian to join him to kill a few American prisoners of war, this in the eyes of Ying Xiao Dazuo, is the best way to entertain this captain of the Qin Guard, there is nothing more exciting than cutting off the head of the prisoner of war, watching the fear of the prisoner of war before he dies, watching the red and bright blood, splashing in front of his eyes, or rather, it is a kind of fun!

Chu Tian scolded angrily in his heart, "The little devils are all virtuous, and they are all authentic perverted murderers," but he said, "Your Excellency Dazuo, what I see is even more attractive than cutting off the heads of prisoners of war!" ”

"Oh!" Takashi Jiro Dazuo, two short eyebrows twitched, surprised, not very interested, Chu Tian turned around, and said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, take a look, the group of people on the US military position opposite, according to my judgment, must be the commander of the US army, if the artillery of the imperial army comes to cover the area with sudden artillery fire, you say, what will be the effect?" ”

Takashi Jiro Osa's reaction was very fast, after listening to Chu Tian's words, he rushed to the artillery mirror in one step, only looked at it a few times, and when he turned around, his face turned red with excitement, of course he hadn't seen it and didn't know that Stilwell was there, but, Captain Fujino didn't make a mistake, a group of American officers, that is certain, how many ordinary soldiers did the Americans kill, and it didn't mean to kill a few commanders!

Yingxiao didn't even have time to talk to Chu Tian, and rushed to the telephone, "I'm Wing Commander Yingtaka Jiro Osa, now, I order, the forward artillery observation post, determine the target orientation and coordinates, all the artillery of the field artillery brigade under the wing, immediately prepare for artillery coverage, I repeat, it's artillery coverage, use up all the shells you have stored, and turn that area into a place of death!" ”

Chu Tian suddenly shuddered, this devil Osa Takataka Kojiro, ruthless enough, this is to make Stilwell's bones gone, a field artillery brigade, more than 20 medium-caliber guns, all the shells have been shot, I'm afraid there are nearly a thousand rounds, right?

That is, five or six minutes later, a scream of cannonballs piercing the air swept over the shelter, Chu Tian hurriedly picked up the binoculars, as for the high-powered artillery mirror, it had already been occupied by Eagle Xiao Dazuo.

"Boom, boom!" There was an earth-shattering loud noise, and Chu Tian saw that where Stilwell and a group of American officers were standing just now, the explosion points of the shells, one after another, thick pillars of earth, continued to rise from the ground, and the smoke of gunpowder, the flashing fire, and the dirt and gravel stirred up, turning the area covered by the artillery fire into a hell of death.

Chu Tian put down the binoculars, closed his eyes, and felt speechless in his heart, he knew too well that after the shelling, there was not even a complete corpse in the craters everywhere, Stilwell would not be spared, and the famous American generals in the area died here, not on the battlefield of a head-to-head duel, but because of a conspiracy, and the initiator was himself.

I don't know why, in Chu Tian's heart, there was not the slightest excitement, more of it, it seemed to be a kind of dazed!
