Chapter 555, The Battle of Burma 5.
"Well done brothers!" Yang Ruifu first praised it, and said in a deep voice: "Tell the brothers of the first company that the battle must be fought well, and it is necessary to rely on the geographical advantages and fortifications to eliminate the devil's vitality as much as possible, and at the same time, we must protect ourselves!" From the very beginning of the strategic deployment, Yang Ruifu clearly understood the true meaning of the existence of the Yecheng Seaside Fortress, that is, to drive a nail in the hinterland of the devil.
A nail that can make a devil extremely disgusting, a nail that can make a devil bleed constantly and pay heavy casualties. Therefore, the most important task of the 7th Regiment is to destroy the living forces of the devils as much as possible, not to hold this seaside fortress, let alone to fight for every inch of land and ensure that every position is not lost. Wan Lianqing naturally understood Yang Rui's words, and immediately nodded heavily: "Please rest assured, we won't be brutal, we know how to fight!" We will never kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 at a loss! ”
"Excellent! Contact us if there is anything! Yang Ruifu nodded and hung up the phone casually. Buzzing, just then suddenly there was a roar of a motor in my ears. "Haha! Great, the Air Force brothers came at a better time! ”
Yang Ruifu hurriedly moved forward, and was immediately happy, only to see a large group of planes flying from the direction of Yangon, although it was only a small black dot in the distance, it was impossible to distinguish between friend and foe with the naked eye. But judging from the flight trajectory of the group, even if he thinks with his feet, Yang Ruifu can know that this must be his own plane! "Yes! It's so timely! Now look at how the little devil is still rampant! "If you blow up these turtle suns, if you dare to bully us with the Air Force, you have to spit it out with interest!"
He Wuxiang, Lu Hongxin and others all smiled from ear to ear, and they all stretched out their hands to praise the air force units that were flying at great speed. "Look! It's our plane! "Great! Ha ha! "Air Force brothers, you are all good, you must teach these little devils a hard lesson!"
Soon, the officers and men of the Asian People's Liberation Army in the entire fortress saw the group of combat planes flying at a rapid speed, and the officers and men who did not directly participate in the battle in the rear almost all ran out and waved their hats in greeting. At this critical moment, our own air force came to help, which is indeed very uplifting and exciting!
"Brothers of the Seventh Regiment, you have worked hard!" Wei Lei, the commander of the Second Flying Regiment, rushed to the front with a Mustang fighter, and from a distance, he could see that the position at the northern end of the fortress was being fiercely attacked by the devil troops, and the whole mountain peak was full of gunfire, and the enemy and us were engaged in a fierce battle of life and death on the hillside. "Little devil, you all give me death!" Seeing this, Wei Lei hurriedly pulled the joystick and pressed the nose of the machine to start diving at high speed, and wanted to rush down to help. "Yaga! Huaxia aircraft is coming! Imperial warriors, assault! "Hurry up and fight them!"
Seeing the Huaxia combat aircraft group flying from a distance, the devil infantry who had rushed to the front of the position became more and more crazy, and instead of retreating, it was like being beaten with chicken blood! The devil soldiers knew very well that at this time, they could only rush forward, have a close exchange of fire with the Huaxia defenders, or even fight together, in order to avoid the desperate situation of being strafed by the Huaxia aircraft group as a live target! As a result, the ghost soldiers, who had no way out at all, completely stimulated their murderous nature and life potential, and followed the remaining three tanks to charge lifelessly.
"Huaxia soldiers, die, die!" The three devil tanks that were beaten and bruised all over their bodies were even more like crazy tigers, regardless of the crazy rush, the short distance of more than 100 meters was just more than ten seconds! The devil tank quickly enlarged in the retina, and the bazooka soldier Mao Ping had already seen the devil tank's main gun aimed at him, but he did not dodge it at all, but aimed the bazooka at the devil tank that was about to rush into the trench.
A moment later, the gun barrel of the Devil Tank flashed, and a shell flew out. "Holy shit, don't let me die yet!" Mao Ping roared with all his strength, and pulled the trigger hard almost at the same time as the devil opened fire.
Boom, a rocket shell shot out in an instant, and it hit the devil tank that was already less than 30 meters away! "Farewell, brothers! Kill a few more devils for me! As soon as the bazooka was successfully activated, the devil cannonball hit Mao Ping directly, and the entire body was instantly torn apart, and only the last wisp of residual thoughts remained in Mao Ping's mind! Boom, just a fraction of a second, the charging devil tank was directly penetrated and exploded, turning into a pile of burning scrap copper and rotten iron.
"Brothers, give me a hard beating!" "Kill all the shit!" The devil rushed closer and closer, and soon entered a state of hand-to-hand combat, and after the devil rushed to the range of 30 meters, he fell down one after another, and then the devil's melon grenade was thrown forward like a torrential rain! Boom bang
"Assault! Tao times change! The devil took the bayonet from his waist, mounted it on the barrel, and when he was still running out of grenades, he roared and stood up, and began the last wave of death! A lot of fortifications and pillboxes were built on the 103 Heights, but the battle line was too long for all of them to be built into fortresses, and the main line of defense had to rely on trenches.
And the breakthrough chosen by the devil is the westernmost trench, because this can not only strike and suppress the Chinese defenders in the trench, but also minimize the attacked firepower. "Brothers, get up! The little devil is up! "Kill! Fight with the devil! "Brothers, hold on!" The devil had already rushed to the front, and the soldiers could clearly see the devil's hideous face, as well as the bright bayonets, and the thick aura of death rushed to their faces.
The Tiger Ben officers and soldiers who had just been attacked by grenades didn't have time to check the injuries on their bodies, and struggled to stand up, instead of rushing out of the trench to fight bayonets with the devils like in the TV series, they set up all kinds of guns again and started to fire at the devil soldiers as fast as possible! Puff, puff, the row of devil soldiers who rushed to the front were instantly beaten into a sieve!
However, the devil soldiers behind did not hesitate at all and continued to rush! Puff, puff, without any suspense, this row of devils was beaten into a sieve again. But the devil soldiers were getting closer and closer, and the distance of twenty or thirty meters was only there in the blink of an eye, and after paying for dozens of lives, the devil soldiers finally rushed into the trench and fought with a company of officers and soldiers.
"Not good! The position is tight, brothers, follow me to support! "Wu Bin, the company commander at the main fort on the top of the mountain, grabbed a Bobosha assault rifle, yelled and rushed out of the fortress with more than a dozen soldiers." Brothers, rush! "Rush!" "Kill all these shit! Avenge your brothers! ”
However, at this moment, the reinforcements sent by the battalion headquarters rushed to the 103 heights, and saw that the brother troops had already engaged with the devil in a short battle, and there were many casualties. "Little devil, grass your eighteenth generation ancestor!" Wei Lei rushed down as fast as he could, but he helplessly found that the enemy and us were already in a scuffle, and there was no way to strafe on the ground!
"Brothers, follow me to get the devil in the back! Let these dogs die badly! However, Wei Lei quickly reacted, and in the plain area in front of the fortress, there was still a large wave of devil soldiers hurrying over. So without thinking about it, Wei Lei pulled up the nose of the plane and rushed to the northeast! "Baga Ya Road! Huaxia aircraft is coming! ”
"Spread out, hide quickly!" And before that, the devil soldiers had already been frightened by the sudden huge combat aircraft group, just like a group of frightened rabbits fleeing in all directions, where would they continue to keep the formation and rush forward stupidly? Although the area around the Yaseong Seaside Mountains is a plain area, it is highly forested and densely populated, and is full of woods and lush meadows.
Therefore, after discovering that the Huaxia aircraft group was flying rapidly, in just one or two minutes, hundreds of devil infantry rushed into the woods and grasslands on both sides of the road and hidden. Even the more than 20 huge Type 97 tanks rushed into the woods and hid themselves well.
"These dogs are really fast enough, and they disappear in the blink of an eye! Fuck, what's going on? Wei Lei killed the past angrily, originally thinking of harvesting a wave of devil heads and reducing the defensive pressure of the army troops. But when he flew over the seaside mountains, Wei Lei found that all the devil ground troops he had seen before were gone, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
Although he knew that the devil soldiers would not burrow through the cracks in the ground and escape, they must have gotten into the woods on both sides of the road.
But in a huge dense forest, hiding hundreds of ghost soldiers, it's like playing, where can you know where the ghost soldiers are hiding in a hurry? "Dog's day little devil, get out of here!"
Wei Lei was very unwilling to circle a few times over the section of the road where the devil disappeared, and fired several waves of machine guns into the woods angrily. Bang bang But there was no movement of the little devil, and there was still dead silence in the woods!
Of course, at this time, even if they borrowed a hundred guts from the little devils, they didn't dare to move! Having lost a specific target and being covered by a big tree, the fighter plane piloted had no way to carry out a pleasant fire strafing, and the routine of startling the grass and the snake did not play any role, so Wei Lei could only reluctantly give up the attack. The wolf traveled thousands of miles to eat meat, and it took so much movement, and the gasoline consumption alone was not a small amount, Wei Lei naturally would not lead the team back like this, and immediately roared on the communication channel and said:
"Bomber formation, all of them, I'll leave it to you here, return as soon as the bombs are gone! We can't come for nothing! "With trees in the way, fighter strafing doesn't do much, but throwing bombs is different, even if it's a blind bomb, how can you kill some devil soldiers!
"Howler! Blow up these turtle grandchildren! As soon as Wei Lei gave the order, more than a dozen bombers began to drop bombs on the woods near the devil's disappearance! Chirp, one after another heavy bombs screamed and fell from the sky, and after a while, they fell to the ground and bloomed, exploding clouds of gunpowder spurt frantically spurting upward!
Broken wood branches and leaves flew sideways, large trees were blown off and fell to the ground, large areas of trees were blown apart, and many trees were ignited! "Don't fight, all of them, return immediately!" When the bomber group was still empty, Wei Lei and the others circled over the woods several times, but they still couldn't see any movement of the little devils, and the woods on both sides of the road were still empty!
As a last resort, Wei Lei could only order the combat aircraft group to start returning, although this time two flight regiments of fighter escorts were dispatched, but this place is very close to the devil's airfield, and it is really not suitable to stay for a long time!
"Yes!" "Roger!" After receiving the order, all the pilots did not hesitate at all, and turned their noses one after another and flew towards Tonggu Airport. Because the devil troops were hidden in time, they did not suffer a catastrophe, but under the large-scale blind bombing, the devil soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, and they also seriously delayed the reinforcement time!
"Brothers, kill!" "None of them are left! Kill all these brutes! At this time, the battle of life and death on the 103 heights is not over. After paying a heavy price, the ferocious and abnormal devil soldiers finally rushed into a row of trenches and started a white-knives battle with the Chinese officers and soldiers.
Thanks to Wu Bin and the new forces who came to support in time, they killed all the devil soldiers who rushed into the trenches with a thunderous momentum, and the unfavorable situation was reversed. Otherwise, the row of casualties and almost everyone hanging the lottery, I'm afraid it will really have to be all explained here!
But he has killed the red-eyed devil soldiers, completely forgetting about life and death and pain, and is still one after another, never dying, using bayonets, grenades, and bullets to fight for his life with the Tiger Ben officers and soldiers. Later, under the orders of the commander of the Devil's battlefield, the devil's mortar and grenadier men in the rear actually carried out indiscriminate artillery bombardment on the two sides that were engaged in white-knuckle combat. From the ghost soldiers rushing to the foot of the 103 Heights to the final desperate charge of the devils, in less than 1 hour, almost all the devil infantry of nearly 4 squadrons were killed.
The Asian People's Liberation Army also paid more than 100 lives, and the remaining 200 people were all hung up, more than half of which were seriously injured in life-threatening! From the foot of the mountain to the top of the slope of the 103 Heights, there are stumps and severed arms, flesh and blood tissue, and corpses everywhere, and the choking smell of gunpowder smoke and the strong smell of blood make it impossible to breathe normally!
"Company commander, the battalion commander is calling!" As soon as the battle ended, Wan Lianqing called Wu Bin. Wu Bin, who was gray-faced, hurriedly took the walkie-talkie microphone in the hands of the communication soldiers, and said loudly with a little excitement in exhaustion, "Report to the battalion commander, we have successfully withstood the first strong attack of the devils, and the 103 heights are still firmly in our hands, and at least 3 squadrons of devil soldiers have been annihilated in this battle!" ”
"Well done! The brothers of the company are all good! Wan Lianqing nodded heavily with tears in his eyes, and then ordered in a deep voice: "I order, you immediately withdraw from the 103 heights and go to the 110 heights to arm!" All the weapons and ammunition that can be taken away are taken away, and all the things that cannot be taken away include the bunker fortifications are blown up! Wu Bin, who was on the rise, was stunned for a moment, and asked in astonishment: "Battalion commander, what's going on?" Did you just abandon your position like this? We can still hold on! ”
"More than half of your casualties have been suffered in a row, and the fortifications have also been seriously damaged, and there is no need for Heights 103 to continue to hold on!" Wan Lianqing explained, and then ordered again in a deep voice: "The second round of the Japanese army's strong attack is about to begin, and your troops will immediately withdraw from the battle!" Execute the command! "Yes! Retreat now! Although he was very reluctant to blow up the main fort that was basically intact, and he didn't want to withdraw from the position in embarrassment, the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty, and when they heard Wan Lianqing's resolute tone, there was no room for negotiation, and Wu Bin could only take orders.
"Move fast!" Wan Lianqing nodded his head lightly, and instructed in a heavy tone: "Try to ensure that every brother can come back intact, especially those who are seriously injured, and we must do our best to let them survive." Wu Bin raised his head, pouted his buttocks, and nodded heavily: "Yes!" Please rest assured that the battalion commander will complete the mission! "After the battle began, most of the medical forces of the entire regiment were concentrated on the 103rd and 110th heights to participate in the first aid of the fire line and the medical aid in the backfield!
At present, the seriously wounded have basically been transferred to the 110 heights and the regimental headquarters field hospital for rescue, and the lightly wounded have also been treated with simple hemostasis and bandaging! As for those heroic martyrs, Wu Bin has already sent someone to collect their bodies in body bags and are carrying them to the rear.
Jiang Qiang's operational regulations stipulate that as long as conditions permit, the remains of martyrs who sacrificed their lives must be collected and transported back to the rear for burial in the martyrs' cemetery. After receiving the order to retreat, Wu Bin did not drag the mud and water, and immediately ordered the troops to start cleaning up the battlefield, packing everything that could be taken away, and blowing up those that could not be taken away! After Wu Bin and the others finished cleaning up the battlefield and planted a large number of mines, the second wave of the devil soldiers' attacking troops slaughtered to the foot of the 103 Heights with great momentum.
Command post of the 7th Wing of the Japanese Army. "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, our army has captured the 103rd Height!" After paying a heavy price to capture the undefended 103 Heights, as soon as the battle damage report was counted, the staff officer of the Devil Wing Sada Ken rushed to the front of the wing commander Ono Kazuma, and said loudly after a heavy pause:
"According to preliminary statistics, the Imperial Army has so far lost more than 850 people and 25 chariots. More than 250 Chinese troops have been killed and wounded! The chief of staff and staff officers of the various departments of the Japanese army belong to the staff headquarters system, and the staff team led by the chief of staff is only responsible to the staff unit at the next higher level, and the military chief officer at the same level has no right to appoint or dismiss the chief of staff.
However, the Japanese army did not have a chief of staff at the wing level, so the power of the "wing staff officer" was more or less suppressed. "Yaga! A whole 4 infantry squadrons and 2 tank squadrons are gone! And we have only captured a small and insignificant height! ”
After reading the battle damage statistics sent by the staff officer of the wing, Ken Sata, Ono's face sank like water, and his heart was like a knife, he had long known that this battle was not easy to fight, and he was mentally prepared, but the casualty ratio of 1:4 still made him feel extremely painful and uncomfortable. As the saying goes, "a leopard can be seen in the tube", through this hard encounter, Ono really understood the power of the Tiger Army.
According to the statistics of the current battle situation, Ono Kazuma can calculate with a casual finger that if he can't find an effective breakthrough in the next battle, then even if he fights the entire team, he won't want to break through the 486 heights, the core position of the Huaxia Tiger Army. Even before attacking the periphery of the 486 heights, the entire wing will have to suffer a catastrophe!
"No, we must not consume it so stupidly again!" Ono Kazujin was shocked, he came to the Burma war zone to "make a contribution". Realize the dream of being a general as soon as possible, instead of "dying before leaving the army", and bury your future and fate, and even your life, on this mountain fortress with little military value! Thinking of the terrible consequences, Ono Kazuma had a strong desire to survive in the depths of his heart, and hurriedly ordered at the devil's staff officer Ken Sada:
"Immediately telegraph an order to the front-line imperial army, build a position on the spot for defense, don't rush into pursuit first, and wait for the next combat order." "Hello!" Sada-kun hurriedly ordered the leader. At this time, Ono Kazuma continued: "Sada-kun, please immediately and truthfully report the situation here to His Excellency the Division Commander and His Excellency the Chief of Staff, and ask for tactical guidance!" ”
Devil officers are extremely good-looking, and they will not easily admit defeat, admit intimidation, and ask for support from their superiors. However, when the battle is not going well and the battle situation exceeds expectations, it is no longer something that the top commander of the unit on the scene can handle, but he does not dare to leave, the devil commander must find a higher-level person to take responsibility and make decisions, so he said the words "request tactical guidance" very distinctively!
"Hello! Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Division Commander and Your Excellency the Chief of Staff will definitely come up with a perfect plan! "Satta Ken once again took the leader's order, he knew very well what the current situation was, if he attacked according to the previous battle plan, at most half a day, the entire 7th Wing would have to suffer a catastrophe!" Sada-kun, please! ”
Ono Ichijin bowed to Ken Sada very seriously, and the meaning should be there! The devil's troops paid the price of heavy casualties and finally "conquered" the 103 heights, but they did not dare and did not have the spare strength to continue to attack the 110 heights in front. At the same time, the officers and men of the 7th Regiment, under the strict orders of the regiment commander Yang Ruifu, did not rashly launch a counterattack against the devils, but waited for the next military action of the little devils.
As a result, the two sides had a very "tacit" truce halfway through, forming a situation in which the well water does not interfere with the river water. Yangon Theater Command. The battle of the seaside fortress in Yecheng has been behind for a while, and Jiang Qiang's side also quickly received a statistical report on battle damage.
After reading the report, Jiang Qiang handed the report to Stilwell, Li Zongren, Xu Guangming, Li Jinglin and others to circulate it, and at the same time instructed Huang Hong in a deep voice: "Immediately send a commendation order to the 7th Regiment, and order to focus on destroying the enemy, and don't care too much about the gains and losses of one city and one place!" "Yes!" Huang Hong immediately took the order and left.
After reading the telegram, Stilwell stretched out his thumbs to Jiang Qiang with great joy and said: "This battle was fought beautifully, more than 800 devil infantry were killed, 25 tanks were destroyed, and 8 bombers were shot down, and the total number of devils killed was close to 1,000!" And only 124 people were killed on our side, which is really remarkable! At this time, Li Zongren smiled and said: "Yes, it's really uplifting!"
These stupid and arrogant Japanese devils really don't remember to eat, they have already suffered a big loss in Yecheng before, and now they are going to repeat the same mistakes in Yecheng. Haha, I really can't figure it out, why did the devil get involved with Yecheng? ”
