286 Unprecedented Victory (2-in-1 Subscription Monthly Pass)
"Ding, 4 hours later, a Zero fighter squadron arrived at the Valley Battlefield, with 40 fighters!" A new piece of news suddenly appeared in the intelligence system in Gao Jianwu's mind, which made Gao Jianwu, who was directing the artillery operation, stunned for a moment.
The news that can be prompted by the system must be a relatively important news, and Gao Jianwu, the famous name of the Zero fighter, has naturally heard it, and he knows that this little day is the most advanced fighter at the moment, and if there is a battle between the P51 Mustang fighter, the key to victory or defeat lies in the pilot rather than the fighter itself.
Losing the generational advantage, if this Zero fighter team were to join the battlefield, the gain of air superiority over the entire trough would be reversed.
Gao Jianwu still did not know that the Fifth Flying Division in the north would be recalled, and the Allied Air Force pilots in the north would be freed up a lot, and he calculated according to the 40 elite pilots led by Colonel Smith in his hands.
With the arrival of a 40-Zero fighter flying team, these fighters need to rely on Colonel Smith, the 40 elite pilots, to deal with them, which means that the remaining remnants of the Ninth Flight Division will have to rely on Lu Xingguo and them to face it themselves.
Now Gao Jianwu doesn't know how many fighters are left in the Ninth Flying Division after this air battle, but Lu Xingguo and his pilots who can participate in the air battle are still only 15.
Even if there were only more than 20 fighters left in the Ninth Flying Division, the pressure on Lu Xingguo and them was huge.
Gao Jianwu quickly came to a conclusion that the pace of the offensive must now be accelerated.
These thoughts were only in a few seconds, but in the eyes of those communication staff officers, Gao Jianwu seemed to change in an instant, and the whole person seemed to have become an unsheathed sword, sharpened.
"Command! The entire reserve was dispatched to begin the second phase of the attack plan. Inform Ding Wei, Chu Yunfei, Xu Shida, Zhang Dabiao, and other troops that in four hours, the enemy will soon send advanced fighters to join the battlefield, and we must annihilate or immediately defeat the enemy's main force within four hours." As soon as Gao Jianwu's order came out, the communication staff officers of the front-line command were stunned for a moment, but they quickly turned around and gave orders.
On the battlefield, when Gao Jianwu gave the order, no one questioned him now.
Kong Jie of the Fifth Attack Group received the order, and the Fifth Attack Group, which had long been eager to try, immediately dispatched the whole army without any delay, Kong Jie used the tank battalion attached to it as the arrow, and the three main infantry battalions followed closely behind the tank battalion, with the 75-mm howitzer battalion in the middle and the two main infantry battalions behind the hall.
The entire assault group ran forward at the speed of a forced march, and they were still nearly 10 kilometers away from the second line of defense, which was the farthest from the main force of the little devils at the moment.
On the front line, Ding Wei has mobilized the main force of the first attack group from the trough to the second line of defense, and originally planned to use the second line of defense as the battlefield for strangulation, and will give up a period of time in the middle to let the little devils come in and bear the cover of artillery fire.
However, as Gao Jianwu changed his battle plan and fought a decisive battle in advance, Ding Wei could not keep his hands, and the four 105-mm howitzer heavy artillery regiments that remained in the valley followed the main force to the front line, entered a new artillery position, and crossed with the four 155-mm howitzer battalions to cover the main forces of the four divisions of the little devil.
According to the changed artillery position, Gao Jianwu recalculated the shelling of these artillery pieces in his brain, and before the infantry attacked, 8 heavy artillery regiments shelled the little devils in a radius of nearly 20 kilometers!
More than 200 heavy artillery pieces let out an earth-shattering roar, so that General Kimura and Chief of Staff Shimoda could no longer sit still.
"Order the 4th Division to move eastward, strengthen the control of both sides of the bridge on the Xidan River, the 54th Division and the 55th Division alternately cover, and after the 4th and 49th Divisions are broken, the whole army will begin to retreat in the direction of Mao Mian." Admiral Kimura no longer hesitated.
Even if you retreat half of it, it is much better than the annihilation of the whole army.
There's no time to hesitate now.
However, his decision was still a little late, and the three major attack groups that received Gao Jianwu's latest order, they drove straight forward from three directions, with the tank battalion as the lead, and quickly defeated the little devil's wing on the west bank at once!
Three major attacks
After the group completed the division, Zhang Dabiao opened the way with a tank battalion and began to attack the defenders of another small devil wing on the east bank.
The 75mm howitzer battalions of the three major attack groups provided long-range artillery support for Zhang Dabiao, and the corpses of the little devils on the opposite bank were scattered all over the defensive position!
Since the main force of his own army was still on the west bank, the artillery of the little devil wing left behind did not dare to carry out a fierce artillery bombardment on the bridge, and the attack of machine guns and rifles was just an itch for the Sherman tank, and at once let Zhang Dabiao's tank battalion rush into the little devil defensive position through the bridge!
The main battalion following behind the tank is also constantly encroaching on the position with the coordination of skillful infantry tanks, and Bazooka is like a nightmare for the little devil's machine gun fire point, even if it is a place that Bazooka can't take care of, the tank battalion acts as a killer of destruction, crushing with one shot!
With the walkie-talkie call, there was no communication barrier between the tank and the infantry at all, and when the two main battalions were killed through the bridge, this wing of the little devil quickly could not support it.
Before crossing the bridge, they had already withstood the shelling of 3 howitzer battalions, losing at least a third, and then under the ravages of the tank battalion, they lost another third, and the remaining few people were simply not enough for the two main battalions to divide up!
After taking control of the bridge, Zhang Dabiao's tank battalion returned to the west bank to receive ammunition and fuel supplies from the follow-up baggage convoy.
After the three major attack groups formed a wedge-shaped defensive formation, the fourth division of the little devils was belated.
This time, the first to meet the charge of the 4th Division was an overwhelming round of artillery fire, after the main bombardment of 54 75-mm howitzers, the little devils who rushed into the range of 2,000 meters found in despair that there were as many as more than 200 mortars began to indiscriminately cover shelling!
On the attack surface of a wing with a span of more than 3 kilometers, shells are exploding everywhere, and the raindrops of shells make the strongest nerves can't help but go crazy, so don't be surprised when you see the little devils running wildly with empty hands on the battlefield, because they have only the instinct to run, and they have already thrown away all the weapons in their hands.
As a veteran elite division of the first type of little devil, the fourth division has always shown very strong combat effectiveness, and the combat is also very fierce and ruthless, but this time the opponent they encountered was even stronger than them.
In particular, the deployment of artillery has almost reached the peak of this era, and in this case, the decisive charge of the 4th Division is very out of place, as meaningless as the regimental people charged against the Makqin heavy machine guns.
Of course, the little devils of the Fourth Division were not completely brainless, and the remnants of the mountain artillery and the 92nd infantry artillery were also used, but the huge disadvantage in numbers made them quickly destroyed by concentrated fire after the artillery was fired.
So at the last moment, these little devils had to use their lives to pile up, and they launched the so-called onboard charge in the face of the three major attack groups of the expeditionary force, and tens of thousands of little devils who were forced to rush launched a charge at the same time.
It is indeed very spectacular from the scene, but most of these little devils quickly turned into local fertilizer, and the 75mm howitzer is just that, although the power is much stronger than the mortar, but the number is not an order of magnitude with the mortar.
1 main battalion is 21 81mm mortars, and now more than 10 main battalions are concentrated here in 3 major attack groups! More than 200 mortars!
In addition, the mortar fires much faster than the 75mm howitzer, and at least nearly 2,000 shells fall on the path of the little devils every minute.
Of course, such a terrifying consumption is not affordable at any time, but don't forget that this is a home battle in Gao Jianwu's home field, and each gun has at least two base shells prepared.
Faced with such a large amount of ammunition, the onboard charge launched by the 4th Division quickly turned into a joke.
The little devil had never been on the road to the charge with an elite division in such a short period of time, but now there is.
The 4th Division, which is full of crimes in the country, was forced to attack Chu Yunfei and their shelling, which became fertilizer in the land of Burma and Britain!
General Kimura received a farewell telegram from the 4th Division, and his hands and feet were cold!
From the small soldier to the division commander, they all launched a decisive board
Carrying the charge, as a result, all died under the shelling and the last machine gun, this cannot be said that the subordinates did not fight, they have already fought all their lives here but to no avail.
Just listening to the earth-shattering sound of artillery outside, General Kimura actually knew very well that they had no way to go now.
The back road has been cut off.
Although there were still three divisions left, the most powerful artillery wing had been cleared. Judging from the enemy's artillery firepower found so far, there are more than 200 heavy artillery pieces, and the number of small-caliber guns is even more amazing, and the entire battlefield may add up to more than 1,000 guns.
Now that there are no reinforcements from outside, the morale of the divisions and regiments inside has fallen to the point that deserters are about to appear, which is rarely seen since the little devils formed the army.
It's not that these little devil soldiers are not strong enough, but under the endless artillery fire, every minute and every second they see the people around them being carried away by the fragments of the cannon explosion.
Before you can see the enemy himself, he will almost die, and who can maintain a strong heart in his heart when fighting such a powerful enemy?
"Your Excellency, if there is no other way, we may all die here." Shimoda Sakura said with a dead face.
Admiral Kimura knew what Shimoda meant, and in the current situation, there was no other way to save the lives of the remaining 60,000 little devils except to surrender.
Surrender? General Kimura was a little dazed, he had never had such a thought since he joined the army, but to the point where the war has been fought today, it seems that there is really no way out but to surrender.
60,000 people are all broken here? So is there any point in such a fight?
Ever since the idea of surrendering had in General Kimura's heart, several thoughts began to intertwine and fight in his mind.
Shimoda Sakuto was on the side, not interfering with General Kimura's thoughts, and it was enough for him to just make a simple hint.
After all, it would be a lifelong disgrace for the individual, even their entire family.
But for the 60,000 lives, Shimoda couldn't tell which was more important, and he just handed over the decision to General Kimura.
After all, here Admiral Kimura is the final decision-maker who decides everyone's life and death.
Seeing that all the people in the command were staring at him, several thoughts of General Kimura became more intense.
"Shimoda-kun, you go and contact the other party to discuss the matter of surrender, all the blame will be borne by me alone, I order you to surrender to the other party!" Admiral Kimura didn't think long before he made up his mind, after all, hundreds of thousands of people died in artillery fire every minute.
Although this would have nailed him to the pillar of shame in the history of the empire, the thought of 60,000 living lives Admiral Kimura felt that his sacrifice was still meaningful.
Gao Jianwu didn't expect this wave of little devils to complete their new round of lore in such a way.
To be honest, after receiving the news of the enemy, Gao Jianwu was suspicious for a while, but the person who came was the chief of staff of the little devil, Shimoda Saku, and Gao Jianwu really believed that they were sincere surrenders.
Only then did he order the whole army to stop the shelling, and in the face of such a result, Gao Jianwu never thought about it, but this was better than he imagined, because it was a huge victory that had never been achieved before.
The little devil had never surrendered on such a large scale in the past, and Gao Jianwu set a new record.
And this time, it has reached a new peak in the system explosion!
More than 60,000 little devils have reached 10 times the top explosive rewards, and the system inventory is directly filled at once!
With a series of dingdong dingdong prompts, Gao Jianwu's system was upgraded again.
This time, it was a front army that was directly eliminated, and the results of accumulating 8 divisions and regiments suddenly filled the conditions for upgrading the system.
But now Gao Jianwu is busy receiving the surrender of the little devil, General Kimura doesn't think about it, this old boy shot himself directly after giving the order, in order to save time, he didn't think about using the traditional way.
After hearing Shangfeng's order to surrender, the remaining little devils threw the weapons in their hands on the ground one by one, and then stopped
Sitting on the ground like this, staring blankly at the sky, waiting to be contained.
Even if the little devil in Jiaheng has now been beaten by Gao Jianwu and they have no temper, the traditional problem of the little devil has not appeared in this surrender process.
Having sheltered so many little devils at once, there were simply not so many rooms to place in the valley, so Gao Jianwu had to let the little devils live in the tent they had set up first.
Fortunately, the weather is humid here, and having a tent is basically no problem.
It's just that there are more than 60,000 mouths at once, and there is a shortage of food, but fortunately, this is not a big problem, and the materials that Gao Jianwu just got can make up for it temporarily.
What makes Gao Jianwu more headache is how these people should be wasted, of course he will not let them waste food in vain.
......
"Think about it, how can we use these captives of the little devils?" As soon as the matter was decided, Gao Jianwu gathered everyone together to discuss.
"According to me, it is directly sudden, these little devils are all in a lot of blood debts, and we still have to provide food and drink, and the soldiers will have a good opinion in their hearts." Zhang Dabiao was the first to stand up and said.
For the independent regiment, which basically did not leave any prisoners in the battle, Zhang Dabiao's statement was their practice.
"Da Biao, don't talk nonsense, these are more than 60,000 captives, not 6 people," Ding Wei said to Zhang Dabiao, "If something goes wrong with so many people, we will be very troublesome in international public opinion."
"Brother Ding is not wrong at all, there is an international convention for the protection of prisoners of war who have laid down their arms, and if this convention is violated, it will be quite disadvantageous to us." Chu Yunfei continued Ding Wei's words and said.
"Okay, don't say any more about the mood, today we have to discuss how to use these little devils." Gao Jianwu waved his hand to suppress everyone's words.
"I mean, we have opened so many mines in Burma and Britain, and we need a lot of people to work there, how can we find a way to make these captives become laborers here."
"In addition, our rubber plantations also need human labor, and we originally wanted to hire locals as workers, but now that we have these captives, it is not a waste if we don't use them properly."
Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei fell into deep thought after listening to Gao Jianwu's words, if this matter is not troublesome in China, just bring them over to supervise the labor.
But now it is inconvenient to do many things on the side of the British Territory in Burma, and it is difficult to operate such a large-scale use of prisoners without the acquiescence of the Allies.
Frankly speaking, in the face of such a new problem, everyone was not psychologically prepared at all, so this meeting was held for a long time and there was no result.
It wasn't until Smith rushed over from Dagon Airport and looked at Gao Jianwu with a sad look that Smith asked curiously, "Gao, you just achieved an epic victory, why don't I feel like you're happy at all?" Can you tell me why?"
Looking at Smith's sincere face, Gao Jianwu's heart moved, speaking of which he had been dealing with Smith for nearly a year.
This is a very pure soldier, straightforward, serious, and true to his word, frankly speaking, putting aside the camp, Gao Jianwu can become a real friend with him.
Even now, if they fight together, Gao Jianwu can hand over his back to him, and Smith has always been a huge help to the expeditionary force cluster.
"John, I have a question." Gao Jianwu decided to give it a try, after all, Colonel Smith should know much more about this aspect than he did.
"You see, now that we have captured more than 60,000 little devils, we can't keep these people for nothing, so I want them to do some labor in the mines and rubber plantations, and you see what kind of way is more appropriate, so that the Allies will not feel embarrassed, and will not let this matter have a bad impact on the international community."
Smith glanced at Gao Jianwu, "It's easy to say it's easy to do, it's hard to say it's hard to do," Smith paused and continued. "There are many captives in both Obiei and our beautiful country who have fallen into the hands of Xiao Ri, and I have heard that their lives are very difficult, if the upper authorities decide to want them
You won't be able to do this with a prisoner exchange."
Gao Jianwu's expression froze, he didn't expect this yet, but now that Colonel Smith said this, Gao Jianwu felt that it was very possible.
"If you can get them to work voluntarily before the above decides on this, Gao, as long as they can sign a labor agreement themselves, then everything will be fine."
was prompted by Colonel Smith like this, Gao Jianwu suddenly realized that he was very familiar with this matter next.
No matter what the above says, but now that there is such a method, Gao Jianwu immediately let people operate, these little devils who were frightened by the overwhelming artillery fire, for the volunteer labor agreement of the expeditionary force cluster, one by one, did not hesitate at all, and directly signed their names on it.
It was a very lucky thing for them to survive, and now the soldiers of the expeditionary force group neither beat nor scolded them nor punished them in any other way, and these little devils still had a little pressure in their hearts, and they honestly went to the mines or rubber plantations as requested.
[In view of the general environment,
Begin to atone for your past with labor.
According to the traditional custom, Gao Jianwu also organized 50 people into a working group, and selected a little devil as the team leader to manage, if this working group did something wrong, then the entire working group would have nothing to eat.
If someone escapes, soon a task force will disappear.
According to this management method, Gao Jianwu found that these little devils were really good at their work, and the mining that originally lacked labor had more than 60,000 new miners to join, and suddenly began to explode production capacity.
After Gao Jianwu arranged all this, he began to check his new upgrades.
The newly upgraded mineral display function of the intelligence system can display the main mines within 1,000 kilometers of Gao Jianwu's occupation, which is too practical for Gao Jianwu.
After all, the most important thing for him now is time, with such a system display, a lot of time to find minerals is saved, and people can directly look for minerals in the target place to explore.
In terms of weapon systems, there is no major change in the types of exchanges, only some American-style equipment has been added, all of which are things that Gao Jianwu can access now, but the current inventory is amazing.
The little devils he eliminated in the past half a year have now all become his inventory, and the number of individual weapons has exceeded one million, so it can be said that there will be no risk of a shortage of weapons in the base area now.
What's more interesting is the production process, this time there are no new weapons, but some very basic things are given:
A set of copper-nickel smelting process design and complete sets of equipment;
NiMH battery manufacturing process design and a complete set of equipment;
a set of rubber tire production process and complete sets of equipment;
A set of bipolar transistor preparation planar process and complete sets of equipment;
Precision automatic tracking radar SCR-584 manufacturing process and a complete set of equipment;
a set of turbojet-5 engine manufacturing process and complete sets of equipment;
a set of manufacturing process and complete sets of equipment for the Y-6 transport aircraft;
Among these things, the first three are the things that Gao Jianwu urgently needs, and he didn't expect it to explode directly this time, so it can be imagined that the system is indeed advancing with the times.
But now the explosion of a transistor preparation process makes Gao Jianwu a little confused, this thing feels a little too advanced for him, although there is a prototype of the concept of computers at this point in time, but there is no concept of electronic computers at all, which makes Gao Jianwu a little melancholy, after all, he has not learned much knowledge in this regard, and his understanding of these things is not in place at all.
As for the radar technology updated again, this time it is used in anti-aircraft guns, which can greatly improve the hit rate of anti-aircraft guns, and this technology can be said to be quite timely.
As for the last two aviation things, Gao Jianwu has not had time to study them yet,
After all, he knew that Yun Liu's thing had not appeared in commercial use at all in his original time and space. It was his prototype, Gao Jianwu, who knew that the Yin-14 was once one of the main transport aircraft of our country for a period of time.
So although there are not too many amazing things this time, some of them are indeed very practical, including a set of copper-nickel smelting process design and complete sets of equipment, Gao Jianwu found a warehouse in Dagon Port, and directly took them out, and now the minerals have been piled up in the mine.
However, the smelter is still under construction, such a new set of equipment is just catching up with him, according to the design description, this set of equipment can produce more than 10,000 tons a year, which is enough for Gao Jianwu for the time being.
For such a set of equipment, Gao Jianwu sold it directly to a joint venture mining company with Nanyang wealthy businessmen at a price of 2 million yuan, after all, according to the current design of this production capacity, the mining company will return to its capital in three or four years at most.
Now it saves a lot of time to order the corresponding equipment in Europe and the United States, at least the factory can be put into use more than a year in advance, which is the most cost-effective thing for these wealthy businessmen in Nanyang.
As for whether this set of equipment can be used, these wealthy businessmen never thought that Gao Jianwu would deceive them on such a thing.
At the same time, Gao Jianwu ordered Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei's attack group to cross the Xidan River and march towards Mao Yumian, destroying the remnants of the Southern Army in less than a week, and completely eliminating the little devils in the south of the Burmese and British territories.
After completing the killing of the Southern Army, Gao Jianwu did not break his promise, and sent the newly formed Sixth Attack Group and Air Force to the Northern Front, and Kong Jie's Fifth Attack Group took over their defense tasks, cooperating with 4 105mm heavy artillery regiments, and the Sixth Attack Group first solved a brigade of Little Devils in Myitkyina, and then cooperated with the Northern Front *** Expeditionary Force and Anglo-Indian Allied Forces, and buried the 18th Division directly on the northern land with heavy artillery and aerial bombs.
The complete opening of the Yunnan-Burma Highway also allowed Gao Jianwu to obtain a valuable supply of raw materials, but now these raw materials cannot be transferred back through the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
In the face of the new situation, Gao Jianwu was a little at a loss, according to the deployment of the Allied Southeast Asia Command, his combat mission in the British territories of Burma had been successfully completed, and he could apply to return to China.
But is now really the right time to go back?
