The commander of the 1st Division, Mitsuo Nakazawa, and the chief of staff of the 1st Division, who had been waiting for news of the victory at the division headquarters, rushed out of the bunker of the division headquarters as soon as they heard the explosions and the roar of the aircraft engines, and even ignored the adjutant's repeated warnings. However, everything in front of them instantly made these two old devils stunned, and they couldn't believe what they saw at all.

"Yaga! What the hell is going on? Wasn't the Chinese Expeditionary Force about to collapse a long time ago? "The commander of the 1st Division, Sano Nakazawa, was also desperate, looking at the strings of rockets and artillery shells that rose in the sky, as well as the dense combat planes in the sky, Sanfu Nakazawa wanted to die." How could there be so many artillery? The most conservative estimate of this dense crowd of planes is at least four hundred, right? ”

"Yaga! How can it be? "Seeing the group of Chinese planes in the sky, the chief of staff of the devil, Dye Gu Zuoman's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and a desperate curse popped out from between his teeth!" Finished! This time, not only our division is finished, but the entire 18th Army, and even the entire Burma Dispatch Army may be finished! Mitsuo Nakazawa closed his eyes in pain.

As an old devil who experienced the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, Mitsuo Nakazawa knew very well what everything in front of him meant, and clearly saw the seriousness of the problem. A month ago, Mitsuo Nakazawa had learned that Jiang Qiang's Asian People's Liberation Army had rocket artillery units, so he had been very careful about this situation.

However, the 18th Army and the Huaxia Army fought a bloody battle for a month, and Jiang Qiang did not sacrifice this trump card.

This made the senior generals of the 18th Army convinced that the new rocket artillery equipped by Jiang Qiang was limited in quantity, extremely expensive and unsustainable, and even if it was used again, it would not pose much of a threat. But suddenly, a large number of rocket artillery units appeared in Darcy City, and it was followed by a huge group of combat aircraft of the Huaxia Air Force, so it can only explain one problem: that is, from the very beginning, the Burmese troops were deceived by illusions, and Jiang Qiang has been deceiving them tactically, until the most critical moment!

But even so, Mitsuo Nakazawa was still able to maintain the calm and composure of a senior commander. "Quick, Someya-kun, pass on my orders! Each infantry wing is not allowed to take the initiative to attack, but is transferred to the position defense on the spot, and each directly subordinate wing immediately enters the preset defensive position! Nakazawa Sanfu retracted his gaze and said through gritted teeth: "All the troops have not received orders from the division and regimental headquarters, and they are absolutely not allowed to retreat half a step, even if they fight to the last soldier, they are never allowed to retreat."

Otherwise, they will all be killed on the spot without forgiveness! Although he knew that the 18th Army and even the entire Burmese army were already in an unprecedented desperate situation, Mitsuo Nakazawa still made the most correct choice at the first time. Because he knew that at this time, Nakazawa Sanfu knew very well that the 1st Division had no chance to retreat, and the only thing to do was to rely on defensive positions to fight to the death, buy time for the 18th Army and the entire Burma Dispatch Army, and do his best to consume the living force of the Chinese army.

"Hello! Only by fighting bloody to the end can we be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor and the Yamato nation! Someya Zori paused with a miserable expression, and his heart had already made up his mind to die. That's right, our 1st Division is the Imperial Guard, and it has long enjoyed the best treatment and supreme honor, and this time requires us to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Sanfu Nakazawa nodded fiercely, then gritted his teeth and said, "In addition, immediately telegraph to the Army Headquarters and the Dafu General Headquarters that all the imperial soldiers of the 1st Division are determined to fight for the empire and His Majesty the Emperor until the last moment, until all the jade is shattered!" "Hello! Heaven and earth have righteousness, and heroes will live forever! Someya nodded solemnly again, then turned back to the underground command post to send a telegram.

Seeing the division commander standing stupidly and staring at the sky, the devil adjutant hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency the division commander, this place is very dangerous, please return to the command post quickly!" "No need! Now we can only fight to the death, and it doesn't matter whether the 1st Division has me as a commander or not. Nakazawa Sanfu waved his hand miserably, as I said just now, he had decided to die in the country, and if he didn't go back to hide, the result would be the same, but it was the difference between dying early and dying late.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander!" The devil adjutant performed his duties very faithfully, and wanted to drag this stubborn old man into the underground air raid room to hide first. "Baga Ya Road! Get out of my way, yours, and get ready to fight, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire can only die standing and must not die lying down! However, Mitsuo Nakazawa didn't appreciate it at all, pushed the adjutant away, and then raised the binoculars tremblingly and looked ahead.

Through the telescope vision, rows of black steel bodies have appeared in the hazy night a few kilometers ahead, as if a prehistoric beast is swooping over with its teeth and claws. "Yaga! Damn the Chinese army, you don't want to break through from the positions of the 1st Division of the Great Japanese Empire, unless all the Imperial warriors are dead! Seeing this, Mitsuo Nakazawa took out the emperor's imperial saber, and then clenched his hands and made a desperate posture. ……

In an infantry armored command vehicle, Sun Liren shouted into the microphone of the vehicle-mounted communication walkie-talkie: "Attention to the armored regiments of the 5th Division, attention to the armored regiments of the 5th Division!" Don't pay attention to the devil's remnants, ignore the devil's remnants, and rush forward at full speed! Your mission is to cut through the Japanese defense line as quickly as possible, break all the way behind the headquarters of the 18th Army of the devils, and cut off the escape route of the devils! ”

The most important role of the Blitzkrieg is to tear through the frontal defense line in the shortest possible time, clearing the way for the follow-up infantry divisions to advance in the shortest possible time. So sweeping up the remnants of the Japanese army along the way, that's not what the armored cluster should do. These things were naturally done by the infantry divisions that followed up!

The 18th Army of the Devil is the primary target of the Chinese Expeditionary Force this time, the main attacking force is the 3rd Army and the 5th Army of the Huben Expedition, and the follow-up troops are 3 divisions of the Burmese Garrison Force, 1 independent division of the Red Regime, and the 6th Army, 66th Army, and 71st Army of the National Army!

In this direction, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has invested more than 170,000 troops, and their ultimate goal is to completely annihilate the 18th Army of the devils! "25 regiments received!" "The 26th regiment received!" "The 27th regiment received!" 28 regiments received! "The 29th regiment received!" "30 regiments received!" Sun Liren's voice fell, and the commanders of the 6 armored regiments, who were in the vanguard, let out an excited roar on the communication channel one after another!

When Sun Liren was done, a young staff officer asked with a smile: "Military seat!" How do you know that the devil will definitely come to the camp in the early hours of this morning? Sun Liren replied with a smile: "The 1st Division of the Devil is the oldest division of the Japanese army, and it is formed in Tokyo, which is equivalent to our ancient Son of Heaven Guards, and its ability is good and its temper is naturally great!"

They have always been used by the commander of the Devil Army, Anda Twenty-three, as the finale trump card on the spot, this time they have just been replaced in battle, they are naturally eager to make contributions, we only need a little cooperation, they will definitely be eager for quick success! Staff Officer Tan Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand and praised: "The military seat is worthy of being a top student of Tsinghua University and has stayed in the ocean, it is simply in the midst of strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away!" ”

"Alright, don't pat me on the back! You're not praising me, you're killing me! Sun Liren glared at Tan Yan angrily, and then turned to praise sincerely: "The real master is our head seat, otherwise I can only be a good woman and it will be difficult to cook without rice!" Thinking of the things in his hands, and thinking of today's hearty strategic counteroffensive lightning annihilation battle, Sun Liren really had infinite emotion in his heart.

"Hehe, what the military seat said is extremely true!" Tan Yan hurriedly nodded and seconded, and then said loudly with great excitement: "This time, we will definitely be able to kill the devil without leaving a piece of armor, and eat the devil's 18th army in one go!" "Don't get too excited!" Sun Liren smiled indifferently: "Although we have accumulated enough counteroffensive strength and played perfectly at the beginning, the next battle will never be smooth sailing!" ”

Tan Yan said in surprise: "No, we have so many planes, tanks, and artillery, and the total strength is as high as more than 170,000 people!" And the 18th Army of the Devils has been fighting continuously for more than a month after entering the Shan State Plateau, and the consumption of weapons, equipment and soldiers is very large, and there are currently only 70,000 or 80,000 people! We have such a big crushing advantage on our side, so why don't we get nine out of ten to catch it? ”

"You still underestimate the ruthlessness of the Japanese devils! The 18th Army of the Devils is basically a veteran army with a fierce style, and it is not easy to eat the remaining 70,000 or 80,000 devil soldiers in one go! And the devil's air force will definitely not sit idly by, they will definitely fight with us to the end!

Therefore, what we can do now is to be quick and accurate, complete the cutting and encirclement as quickly as possible, and protect ourselves as much as possible while annihilating the enemy. Sun Liren shook his head, although this battle will be won if nothing else, but the middle process will definitely be a bloody storm, if it is not good, it will be a tragic victory of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred!

"Onboard!" "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" "Great Japanese Empire onboard!" "The Great Japanese Empire will last for generations!" As Sun Liren predicted, the 6 armored regiments of the 3rd Army did not have smooth sailing on the way forward, and suffered from the frantic resistance of the Japanese 1st Division!

The unretreating devil soldiers went completely insane, using anti-aircraft artillery, iron fist bazookas, explosive packs, cluster grenades, and even flesh and blood, etc., to try their best to blow up armored tanks and try to block the 5th Armored Division of the 3rd Army that forced a breakthrough. "There is a battle defense gun 600 meters in the direction of three o'clock! Fast! ”

Observing Liang Wu's eyesight is excellent, and he once again discovered the danger in advance. "Roger!" Hearing this, the gun commander Qu Ruodong hurriedly rotated the barrel while looking for the target through the observation glass. "Fuck me!" As soon as he locked on to the target, Qu Ruodong pressed the fire control switch. Boom, a 75-millimeter shell whistled out, and a moment later a red light flashed from 800 meters away.

"Well done! The target has been destroyed! Liang Wu gave a big thumbs up again, and then began to look for new targets. Come on! Little devil of dog day! Die to me! Hurry up! The commander of the car, Wang Wenming, was also red-eyed, and while screaming, he grabbed the trigger of the on-board machine gun and held on. Da Da Da Da ? The caliber vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun flashed dazzling sparks and continued to spit out powerful firepower.

Wherever the line of fire was swept by, whether it was the devil soldiers lying on the trench shooting, or the devil soldiers holding explosive bags and cluster grenades, as long as they were swept by the bullets, they were killed on the spot without accident and turned into a hot corpse. In the face of the absolute superiority of the tank and armored forces, and in the face of the outrageously powerful firepower network, these devil soldiers all fought to the death, and none of them turned around and fled.

As long as they are given a chance to get close, these devil soldiers will not hesitate to rush to the tank with explosive bags, cluster grenades, melon grenades, or even just flesh and blood! "Company commander! The barrel is red and smoking! It's almost gone! Wang Wenming was on the rise, but Liang Wu, the observer, suddenly shouted loudly. Damn! It's too much of a hassle! Just burst out a few bullets and the barrel is not bad! ”

Looking out through the lookout hole, Wang Wenming was helpless to find that the barrel of the vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun was indeed red, like a freshly baked steel ingot. Wang Wenming complained helplessly, the situation is stronger than people, and at this time, he can only suspend the shooting and let the barrel slow down, because if he continues to fight, he will have to play with the explosive chamber.

This is the main reason why the actual rate of fire of the machine gun is far less than the theoretical firing range, because when firing rapidly, it will not take long for the barrel to become too hot, red and smoking, and if it is forced to hit again, it will directly explode the chamber.

"Kill!" "Tao Ci Change!" "Great Japanese Empire onboard!" "Little devil, grass your eighteenth generation ancestor!" "Come on, come and die!"

The 5th Armored Division of the Asian People's Liberation Army (PLA) crushed and collided all the way, completely ignoring the cost of casualties, forcibly hardened from the front, and tore through the devil's defense line as quickly as possible. And the devil soldiers who received the order to defend themselves all turned into emotionless war machines, blocking the torrent of steel with their flesh and blood! Cruel and bloody life-and-death battles broke out between the enemy and us. It was also thanks to a huge group of combat aircraft as the pioneer to go down the city first, and under the fierce bombardment, the devil soldiers and their defensive positions were blown to pieces.

In addition, the number of Iron Fist rocket launchers equipped by the devil soldiers is limited and the range is not long, so it is difficult to form an effective blocking fire against armored troops. Otherwise, if the 6 armored regiments were so blunt and forcibly crushed the well-equipped and tenacious devil 1st Division, they would really have to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of themselves, and pay an unbearable price of casualties. But even so, the armored troops that rushed to the front still suffered a lot of damage, and there were constantly tanks that turned into piles of scrap metal under the attack of the devil soldiers!

The headquarters of the Japanese 18th Army. "Yagayalu, how can this be?" "Isn't the Huaxia army already collapsing? How could they still have such powerful technical equipment? "We really fell for tactical deception? This damn Huaxia commander, is he the devil? Anda Twenty-Three was woken up, and when he heard a series of earth-shattering news, the whole person was not good, and he kept thinking about it in pieces. The chief of staff of the 18th Army, Ji Yuanju, frowned and said: "Your Excellency, the most important thing at present is how to deal with the crisis, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's major counteroffensive has been planned for a long time, and the plot must be not small!" ”

After a pause, Yoshihara continued in a solemn tone: "The 1st Division is fighting to the death with the Asian Liberation Army tank cluster, but the current battle situation is very bad!" According to calculations, in 3 hours at the fastest and 5 hours at the slowest, the tank cluster of the Asian Liberation Army will be able to cut through all the defense lines of our army head-on, and directly reach the rear of our army headquarters, cutting off the retreat of our army! ”

"That's right! Now that the worst has happened, we have to deal with it head-on! Anda Twenty-Three took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Immediately send a telegram to the Imperial Air Force, ask them for their full support, be sure to ensure the safety of our army's airspace, and carry out a firepower strike on the Huaxia armored group as much as possible!" "Hello!"

Yoshihara nodded his head, and then said worriedly: "However, according to intelligence, the total number of combat aircraft of the Huaxia Air Force and the American Air Brigade dispatched this time is as high as more than 500, and I am afraid that even if the Imperial Air Force in Chiang Mai and other places pour out, they will not be able to take advantage!"

It is even possible that this is also a trap carefully designed by Jiang Qiang, and the Imperial Air Force will suffer a catastrophe because of this! Anda Twenty-three waved his hand and said with a gloomy face: "Where can I have so many scruples at this time? The only thing we can do at the moment is to defend and counterattack with all our might, and if there is the slightest hesitation and scruples, then there really is no chance at all! ”

At this moment, a devil communication staff officer hurriedly ran into the war room of the headquarters, and said breathlessly: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the armored cluster of the Huaxia Army has broken through the frontal defense line of the 1st Division, and although the Imperial warriors of the 1st Division have tried their best, they still can't stop the Huaxia tank cluster!"

Lieutenant General Mitsuo Nakazawa has just sent a decisive telegram, claiming that he will lead the Imperial warriors of the 1st Division to launch the final Banzai charge against the Huaxia armored cluster! "Got it." Anda Twenty-three waved his hand gloomily, turned his head to look at Yoshihara, and said, "Yoshihara-kun, have the 8th, 11th, and 42nd Divisions completed the assembly?" ”

"Hello." Yoshihara paused and said, "Your Excellency, the three divisions have been assembled. "Order, the 8th Division is ready, once the 1st Division is collectively broken, it will immediately launch a long-live charge against the Chinese army in accordance with the predetermined order, and in any case, it must also be a tank cluster of the Asian Liberation Army!"

Anda Twenty-three was full of sorrow, gritted his teeth and said, "The 11th Division and the 42nd Division are also ready for the final battle, and are ready to sacrifice their lives for the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor." In short, the 18th Army has no way to retreat, and the officers and men of the whole army can only fight hard to fight the Chinese Army to the end! "Hello!" The devil's communication staff officer looked solemn and then turned around and left!

After the devil's communication staff officer walked away, Yoshihara said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the Huaxia armored cluster is advancing rapidly, and the army headquarters needs to evacuate as soon as possible!" Anda Twenty-three laughed miserably: "The entire 18th Army is gone, what face do I have to continue to live?" "Your Excellency, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and this time we are defeated, but the reason for the defeat is not your command, but that our opponent is too cunning and too powerful!"

Yoshihara continued to persuade: "There is a saying in Huaxia that leaves the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, and the Imperial Army cannot lack an excellent commander like you, please endure humiliation and live for the future of the empire and the future generations of the Yamato nation!" "There have already been too many imperial generals lost in this hateful Huaxia commander, but the more this happens, the more we can't be rash!"

"The Imperial Army of the 18th Army was originally a lone army, and the Imperial Warriors had long expected this day, they had already done a good job and had already inflicted heavy casualties on the Chinese Expeditionary Force!" "But Your Excellency Commander, you are different, a thousand troops are easy to get, a general is hard to find, you are a famous general of the Empire, you can only live well in order to be worthy of His Majesty's high hopes of the Emperor, worthy of the sacrifice of the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, in order to boost the morale of the army to the greatest extent. ……”

"So, Your Excellency, Please!" After speaking, Yoshihara bowed deeply to Anda Twenty-three. "Yaga! Shame on you! A lifetime of shame for the soldiers of the Empire! After listening to Yoshihara's persuasion, Anda Twenty-three felt a lot better in his heart, and he was not as unthinkable as before, although his heart was still full of painful shame, but he finally lost the urge to commit suicide!

Indeed, it's better to die than to live, and Anda Twenty-Three really wants to die like this!

...... "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" "Great Japanese Empire onboard!" "Assault!" "Tao Ci Change!" "Kill all the Huaxia Army!"

Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers charged at the same time, and the howl of woo-woo-woo resounded through the night, and the momentum even drowned out the roar of the engine of the Asian Liberation Army's tank clusters. Seeing that the Huaxia armored cluster was about to tear the defensive line from the front and march away, the commander of the 1st Devil's Division, Mitsuo Nakazawa, could only give the order to charge on board.

Because he knew that once the Huaxia armored group was allowed to penetrate the defense line and leave, the entire 18th Army would be completely finished. In addition, even if the remnants of their 1st Division could still hold their positions, they could only be broken by the follow-up infantry one by one until they were all annihilated. Therefore, at this time, instead of passively waiting for death, it is better to do a one-time stud to weaken the Huaxia armored cluster to the greatest extent and win a glimmer of life for the 18th Army. "Bagaya Road, you guys can't die well in the damn Huaxia tank group!"

Through the binoculars, Mitsuo Nakazawa clearly saw the tragic scene of the imperial soldiers of the whole division charging on board, and he couldn't help but cry and die in pain. This scene in front of him reminded Mitsuo Nakazawa of the scene of the battle for the fortress of Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War. At that time, Nakazawa Sanfu was just a small squadron leader, and the Japanese army adopted the tactics of crowds at that time, and the mountains were full of Japanese soldiers shouting wildly.

Division after division of the Japanese army launched a tidal charge against the Russian artillery and heavy machine guns, and launched a "meat bullet attack battle". The Japanese soldiers in front kept falling, and the Japanese soldiers in the back still did not hesitate to step on the corpses of their comrades and continue to charge. In the battle to capture the Port of Arthur, the Japanese suffered more than 50,000 casualties, 15 combat ships were sunk, and 16 ships were seriously damaged.

In the end, under the frantic attack of the Japanese army, the Russian commander ordered the surrender on January 2, 1905, and a total of 32,500 people of the Lushun garrison were captured. In that battle, although the Imperial Army paid great sacrifices, it finally won the final victory under the heroic and fearless flesh bullet attack of the Imperial Army. Therefore, when faced with a similar difficult scene, Nakazawa Mitsuo did not hesitate to choose the onboard charge, he firmly believed that as long as the Imperial Army continued to charge bravely, the final victory would still belong to them.

Of course, the important premise of Nakazawa Sanfu's choice is that he has no choice, otherwise the tank cluster armed to the teeth with a whole division can only be a head caught in the door!
