603 Agano salvage ship

Why did he blesse and immediately restore the power, the battle situation was stalemate and he could not withdraw immediately. He was red-eyed, and decided to disobey the order and delay it for a while, maybe Pavilion Chief Chu's divine calculation also had a deviation? At least it's not an hour, right? Of course, out of prudence, he still sent a few lightly wounded men to form a patrol and reconnoiter the rear. Of course, he also deployed defensive troops and tanks in this direction, but the urgency of the war was transferred.

He did have a reason to fight, the Japanese army continued to fill the valley with human lives, and in the ten minutes just now, the entire Chinese army lost only 2 machine guns, and the disabled enemy had at least two squadrons. The enemy's offensive passages, blocked by the corpses of their own people, slowed down the pace of advance, and every second of their delay in front of the machine guns increased the chances of the Chinese shooters. Some of the wounded, who had lost their ability to fight, remained in the trenches, and in addition to reloading their comrades, they even began to record the results of the battle on the wooden planks. The Japanese army, which was hideous in the past, has become tactically untactical, and only knows how to blindly send them to death. The place chosen by the division was simply a hell for the Japanese army. The soldiers couldn't understand how the commanders of the past always found the wrong place at the wrong time.

The front-line commander even deliberately weakened the machine-gun fire in some directions, so that the Japanese troops who could not climb could cross the hill where the corpses were piled up and get closer to the distance where they could shoot effectively. No one dared to do that with complete certainty, but the situation was clear. The Japanese army's spirit has long been gone, and now it is just a group of walking corpses who are blindly sent to death, and none of them can throw * 30 meters away in a lying position, and the gun is not accurate.

The stout and well-trained Japanese Army has been suppressing the Chinese army on all fronts, and the bombing range is the same, even if the Chinese army is lighter. But now they don't have the stamina anymore. The soldiers were almost certain that even if they were to break out of the trenches and fight the Japanese one-on-one now, they would never be a match.

Ho Bisheng's troops reduced the number of Springfield rifles as much as possible, replacing them with automatic weapons and *. When the defensive line was established, it was replenished by Allied airdrops*. Its close-range firepower exceeds that of a U.S. military company of the same size by 20%.

Funakoshi witnessed this brutal battle in the rear, which in fact can hardly be called a fight, but closer to a slaughter. The last "reserve unit" he had just assembled consisted of 800 lightly wounded men, some of whom did not even have guns, but only 10 rounds of ammunition, and the guns had to be charged and picked up in the pile of dead men in front. Obviously, throwing these people into it is impossible to shake the enemy's defenses. The enemy sprayed more than a base, how did they do it?

He did not know that a bicycle brigade of the Takehara Division had reached a few kilometers behind the enemy's rear, because the unit had been rigidly maintaining radio silence, and even the command of the 15th Army did not know its location, so naturally there was no contact with Funakoshi. He felt a great despair, and this despair must have surpassed that of the time when the Japanese army first encountered the 203 heights of the Maxim machine guns. At that time, the Japanese army was faced with only a few machine guns, and now they are facing a constant metal storm that seems to never be greater. His will broke down and he ordered his troops to retreat, and although some of them had advanced to 40 meters from the enemy's position, he knew that he would never be able to get beyond it.

Abandoning the offensive would be tantamount to drowning the entire army, and it would be impossible for them to turn back to the path of the 2nd Division. There were no villages nearby to steal, and the forests weren't as described in Masanobu Tsuji's manual of southern warfare education: there was plenty of food to collect. With no other choice, he gave the order to retreat.

1.5 kilometers behind the Chinese position, Ogata Junjiro's brigade, was preparing for a surprise attack. Led by Burmese guides, they marched through the jungle for a week, and after paying the huge price of 245 people left behind/missing, they finally arrived in this valley where Rakhine meets East India. They heard the excitement of the fighting there, but they didn't know the specific situation of the 41st Division, only that there were American paratroopers nearby, and the enemy situation should be relatively serious. This strengthened Ogata's determination to remain silent, and if he had used the radio earlier, the 31st Division would never have died so many people.

Nakasa himself looked from the occupied hill to the valley filled with gunpowder, and found that all the enemy's attention was in front, and the terrain was high in the south and low in the north, which was very conducive to his own attack. He decided not to wait any longer, and only to wait for the heavy weapons to be assembled, and then immediately attacked.

He Bisheng's side has already discovered that something is wrong in the rear, and the reconnaissance he sent back reported that he could see sporadic Japanese troops moving in the rear, and the reflection of telescopes on the commanding heights in the rear from time to time could be seen, which showed that at least one squadron, and the first-level commander of the squad usually did not have a telescope. Did the enemy find a path and go around behind him? He suddenly fell into a great panic. I didn't expect that I just had the idea of disobedience, and the retribution came so quickly, and I really didn't listen to the pavilion chief's words, and I suffered a loss in front of me.

But at this moment, the frontal enemy is still attacking, and he really can't retreat. Only a few machine gun squads could be drawn to guard the rear, which meant that he had to face the enemy in a narrow area at the same time, making it even more difficult to get out. He was not a resourceful commander, he was in a daze, and suddenly he received Xu Chong's shouting on the radio, although he couldn't hear what he said, but his heart suddenly had a bottom. He knew that with the communication ability of the Stewart tank, he could hear the sound in the mountains, and it must be within a kilometer or two.

Xu Chong was rushed back by the strict order of Chu Tingchang, and he gave up the mission of sweeping behind enemy lines, just to prevent He Bisheng from being hot-headed and fighting a bad battle to put the troops in. Of course, this back and forth wastes a lot of fuel and opportunities to destroy the enemy. However, for Chu Tingchang, the life of every soldier here is precious, including those who are wounded and still lying in the trenches, must be brought back. As for the enemy, a division is not so important. In fact, even if the 31st Division is let go, it is doubtful how many of them will be able to walk back.

The tanks quickly rushed forward, and just as the Ogata brigade attacked, they appeared in a corner of the battlefield, and frightened the Japanese troops who had already launched the attack back into the forest, and they felt that it was very difficult to ride bicycles in the forest, and they could not imagine how the enemy would still have tanks, which was of course one of the consequences of Ogata's failure to communicate with friendly forces. In fact, tanks are definitely more capable of passing through most landscapes than bicycles. It's just that the uninformed Japanese army can't imagine it.

Tanks blocked enemy attacks with machine guns. But the enemy, having occupied several flank vantage points and carrying anti-tank guns, soon began firing to test the side armor of the tank. Xu Chong's black gunners were also unable to confront an enemy with a clear advantage in range.

Taking advantage of the fact that the tanks were in front to frighten the enemy, He Bisheng's troops slowly retreated, and the frontal enemy's offensive gradually weakened, and many Japanese troops did not know that Funee had given the order to withdraw a few minutes earlier, and they were blocked by corpses to retreat, and they could neither receive the order nor go back. Why did he turn his body from time to time to observe the situation of the enemy before and after. Suddenly, a new idea came to mind, maybe with the support of these tanks, he could fight on two fronts at the same time and make a name for himself in one fell swoop, but after another thought, Chu Shizuo's words still had to be listened to. So it was ordered to move the wounded first, and the rest of the troops alternated with each other and slowly moved westward. The last remaining troops continued to shoot at the wriggling corpses of the Japanese army in short bursts, and half of them were actually still alive, but they were pressed by the dead corpses and couldn't move, so they had to take advantage of the last time to let him bleed again.

Ogata Nakasa was very calm, and only made contact with Funakoshi at the last minute, proudly informing him that he was about to launch an onslaught, hoping for the cooperation of friendly forces.

The roots of the boat's teeth itched, if this bastard had told the location a few hours earlier, why would he have put thousands of people inside. He found that the enemy's frontal fire was getting weaker and weaker, and there were signs of retreat, and it was common sense that now was a good time to pin down the enemy, but he decided to hold his troops still, he knew that even if he gave an order at this moment, he was afraid that the troops would not be able to rush up, and even if the soldiers who withdrew were not injured, they were all colorless and trembling, and the fighting spirit of the army had been destroyed. He had not had time to count the casualties, but it was estimated that just over 4,000 had been killed, and an equal number of wounded, many of whom had made it out of the forest alive. The 31st Division was on the verge of revoking the number.

The Chinese troops safely withdrew from their positions, and He Bisheng learned from Xu Chong that it was the enemy's 49th Division that launched the attack from behind. He remembered the numbers 31 and 49 and withdrew from his position. The tank company did not love the battle and quickly turned away. In this battle, Commander Chu did not clean up the enemy's main force, but he had already planned to let the American documentary crew descend into the valley to shoot the tragic battlefield, and I believe that with Stilwell's support, no one can shake his position as the commander.

As 419 passed through Malacca and approached the South China Sea, it stretched out its electronic mast to listen to a naval communication, which was encoded with a large number of undecipherable codes as the Japanese became wary of the unreliability of its code. makes it difficult to decipher.

Qin Xiaosu intercepted the communication sent by the Sakurajima communication force to Rabaul, and the content could be deciphered in half. It mentions the need for a platform for some new weapon. Judging and judging, it may be a new radar or artillery made by the Japanese, or it may be a more decisive weapon with the participation of some kind of traverser. Lin Xiuxuan felt that he might have come back a little late. In addition, a telegram from the light cruiser Agano was intercepted, reporting that the sea conditions were still not ideal, and the original plan could not be carried out, and that it would take a few more days to wait. The Agano is a light cruiser that Yamamoto acquired for Makino, and last year began renovating the salvage vessel. I don't know what it has become, but with its participation, the efficiency will definitely increase a lot, at least there will be a lot of divers. Diving at such depths, if there is no proper decompression technique, it will inevitably cause a lot of disabilities, but the Japanese may not care about this, so in the plan formulated by Lin Xiuxuan, it is easier to sink the Agano and put these divers in one pot is the difficulty. In addition, the most important thing is the traverser itself, but unfortunately the message was intercepted only once, and then there will be no news.
