Chapter 1063: Not an opponent
Chapter 1063 is not an opponent
Tang Qiuli ordered the air force to give the Japanese army a group of transport planes responsible for airdrop supplies, and to be so ruthless, for Terauchi Shouichi, it was not only a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, but also made matters worse, and the day after the Japanese army retreated into the Savage Mountain, Tang Qiuli gave the commander of the air force Le Yiqin a combat order in response to the possible actions of the Japanese army.
The Japanese transport planes flew from Hainan Island and fell into the sight of the radar station in Xuwen, Leizhou Peninsula, and Le Yiqin wanted to order the fighter group to take off and intercept them, and strive to shoot them all down on the sea when they entered Vietnam.
To tell the truth, Le Yiqin was also confused, but the division commander's order was so unquestionable, thirty-two fighters, in the clouds, followed the Japanese transport planes, and found the airdrop site set up by the Japanese army.
The battle and its smoothness, his own troops, there was no loss at all, it stands to reason that Le Yiqin should also be happy, but his mood is similar to Lin Zhixian's mood, he can't lift his spirits, he can't stand Lin Zhixian's sobbing, for the division commander's order not to attack the Japanese ground forces, he is also puzzled, and his heart is panicked, no, after checking all the participating aircraft, he returned to the command headquarters, walked around several times, and then picked up the phone to the division headquarters.
"Hey, division headquarters? I'll look for the division commander, I'm the one, Le Yiqin, the commander of the aviation unit," Le Yiqin signed up for his own number, his anxious heart also calmed down, and Tang Qiuli, who was studying several telegrams from Chutian, the head of the special operations detachment, was studying several telegrams from Chutian, the head of the special operations detachment, and couldn't help frowning when he heard that it was Le Yiqin looking for him.
He took the phone and said, "Le Yiqin, are you not convinced by my order, and you are looking for me to ask the teacher about the crime?" On the other end of the phone, Le Yiqin was startled, and hurriedly denied it, "No, division commander, how dare I dare to question the division commander's orders, that is, some pilots in the unit, I can't figure it out, so I asked if the division commander is busy, then I didn't say anything." ”
Tang Qiuli probably realized that his tone was a little stern, and he slowed down his tone and said: "Yiqin, you and your pilot have questions, it is understandable, the situation at that time was that the Japanese transport plane had already taken off, and the time was pressing, so I didn't tell you in detail the reason for this." ”
Tang Qiuli pulled a chair and sat down, and then said: "Yiqin, as a senior commander, should stand at a height beyond ordinary pilots, to consider strategic and tactical issues, dispatch thirty-two fighters, if you launch an attack on the Japanese army in Savage Mountain, you can destroy many Japanese troops, but have you considered it, we just destroyed the Japanese army's airdrop supplies, which is equivalent to ruining their only hope." ”
"What is the psychological blow of leaving a Japanese soldier? Receiving no external assistance, this is a deliberate attempt to create panic and despair, the psychological strike effect on the Japanese army, more than the elimination of thousands of enemies, this is the difference between tactical strikes and psychological strikes, there are so many natural resources in the Savage Mountain, the more Japanese troops gathered, the less each Japanese soldier is allocated, and when people reach extreme difficulties, they can do anything, and the Japanese are no exception. ”
Le Yiqin was dizzy when he heard it, just an order not to attack the Japanese army in Savage Mountain, there were so many ways, how long was the division commander's head? After taking it, he also understood everything, cut off the idea of airdrop supplies, and let the Japanese kill each other, and after holding it for a long time, he didn't know what words to use to describe the division commander's strategy, "Division commander, I took it, you are really poisonous!" ”
Tang Qiuli was stunned, crying and laughing, and boasting about himself like this? When he wanted to speak again, Le Yiqin probably also noticed his language problem, and hurriedly said: "Division Commander, I won't bother you, and I have to go to the battle summary meeting," After speaking, without waiting for Tang Qiuli to speak, he hurriedly put down the phone as if he was running away.
Tang Qiu smiled angrily, and asked for the phone again, Le Yiqin had not yet left the door of the headquarters, the phone rang, picked it up and listened to it, it was the voice of the division commander, and his heart trembled, "Yiqin, at Kunming Airport, the transport planes of the two brigades are concentrated, and they have a purpose in the near future, and they want fighter escorts," It turned out to be a combat arrangement, and Le Yiqin's heart was put back in his stomach.
Chutian's telegram was to report the recent battle situation, the British sent a large number of troops to attack Chutian's troops, and after really fighting with the British ** team, Chu Tiancai found that he absolutely overestimated these high-nosed, blue-eyed British, if it was about weapons and equipment, they were much more than the Japanese.
However, in terms of combat effectiveness, Chu Tian didn't know how to describe these British soldiers, the most typical was a battle in Phongsali in Laos, Chu Tian commanded a detachment directly under his command, with two reconnaissance battalions and a mortar company of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, at best, less than the strength of a regiment.
The British army in Fengsali has an infantry brigade, two tank battalions, in addition, there are brigade artillery battalions, engineer battalions, transport battalions, search brigades and other troops, miscellaneous together, there are more than 9,000 people, Chutian surrounded the surroundings of Fengsali, fought with the British army for three days, killed half of the British army piecemeal, and finally took advantage of the night to sneak attack Fengsali and solve the remaining British troops, even the British major general and brigade commander were taken prisoner.
Since the battle against the British army, in a few days, not only repelled the attack of the British army, but also captured more than 7,000 prisoners, as for the captured weapons, ammunition and various materials, there are countless counts, Chu Tian can't understand how the British soldiers, who have come from Europe to Asia, must be well-trained and strong soldiers, right?
It represents the force and image of the British, but when they fight, as long as they kill the British commanders, or surround them, they almost don't have to fight, they immediately shout to surrender, and they are very obedient, and they do not take the opportunity to flee or resist, which is far from the crazy and fierce fighting style of the Japanese soldiers.
The most incredible encounter for Chutian was an encounter that could barely be called a battle, a squad of the third detachment of the special operations detachment, while interspersing the jungle, suddenly encountered the troops of two companies of the British army, and the soldiers of the special operations detachment "crackled" a submachine gun, and then shouted "You are surrounded, lay down your weapons, and ensure your personal safety!" ”
The soldiers of the special operations detachment who have been fighting with the Japanese army for many years, of course, know that this is a psychological tactic, anyway, it does not play much role in dealing with the little devils, and the British tried it, so that the soldiers were stunned The situation appeared, first a burst of white flags waved, and then, hundreds of British soldiers, lined up, raised their hands high, and walked out of the position in an orderly manner.
A British captain also came to be responsible for the negotiations, spoke half-baked Chinese, stammered demands, gave the prisoners of war humane treatment, and maintained their dignity as soldiers.
The results of the battle were reported to Chu Tian, and he almost dropped his jaw in shock, the special operations team, at best, there were more than 50 people, not a single wounded, more than 300 British prisoners were captured, Chu Tian knocked his teeth and flowers, this battle was fought, through the evil sect, these circumstances were written in Chu Tian's battle report.
Chu Tian came to only one conclusion, the British army in Southeast Asia had a very low combat effectiveness, and the training and tactical level of the soldiers were more than ten times behind the Japanese army.
Since the British army has been in power for a long time since its colonies in Southeast Asia, and there is no armed force that can threaten their position, the combat effectiveness of the troops will naturally drop sharply, and they will not be able to hold a gun in their hands when they are used to enjoying it.
Historically, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, both the Americans and the British were beaten by the Japanese army, and even in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the first army was defeated all the way, lost the city and lost the land, the guns rang out for 500 miles, and the situation of 13 winds.
They found that their troops were even inferior to the squadron, and it was from the beginning of the Pacific War that Britain and the United States really cooperated with the Chinese whom they looked down on before, and Tang Qiuli knew the truth well, the Americans were beaten out of the Philippines and ran to Australia to avoid the limelight, and the British fled all the way west, and finally ran to India to hide.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Chutian's special operations detachment and the reconnaissance units of various corps have beaten the British army to the point of bleeding from their noses and mouths and losing their troops; judging from the results of operations in Southeast Asia and abroad, Tang Qiuli roughly judged that the British are now embarrassed, and they can't defeat them, so it's time to negotiate again.
However, Tang Qiuli made up his mind, the British did not come to heavyweights, did not pay enough bargaining chips, and did not want to let themselves stop, and the independent division troops, staying in the existing area, was a prerequisite for negotiations, Tang Qiuli's real intention was not to destroy the British army and the American army.
Rather, it let them see the strength of the independent division, and when the time comes, in the face of the fierce attack of the Japanese, when the British and Americans cannot hold on, they will come to the door to ask for help, and after they have enough bargaining chips, they will naturally enter Southeast Asia, participate in the battle against the Japanese army, and then develop their own strategic intentions.
Therefore, Tang Qiuli issued a new order to the various battle clusters outside the country, "All departments, after receiving the order from the division headquarters, suspend the attack on the British army, and use small-scale battles to show our attitude," Tang Qiuli's intention was very clear, not to drive the British to a corner.
Then, Chu Tian and the six special operations detachments were gathered together to form an attack column, and the leader of the special operations detachment, Colonel Chu Tian, served as the leader of the column.
