Liao Mingyu dug into his pocket and lit a cigarette comfortably. The end of the whole battle was decided and he could finally relax for a while.
"Huh... Commander Yu, I have to ask you for a favor." Liao Mingyu took a puff of smoke and said to Yu Xiaoqing with a smile.
"Huh? If you have anything to say, just ask." Yu Xiaoqing looked suspicious. Is there anything else I can do to help?
"I would like to borrow a military truck from your division." Liao Mingyu explained.
"How much do you want?"
"all…"
"All of them?" Yu Xiaoqing was shocked. What did he need with so many trucks?
As if seeing his doubts, Liao Mingyu pointed to the sand table and explained: "Now that the main force of the Japanese army has been defeated, even if they are all heading into the woods now, they will eventually escape to Longling."
"You know, you can go directly to Longling along the Burma Highway to the west, but the garrison there now only has a search team of less than 3,000 people."
"Instead of waiting for these Japanese to escape and make full preparations before attacking, it is better to take advantage of his illness and kill him now, let the troops advance to Longling as quickly as possible, and catch them by surprise!"
Yu Xiaoqing is not a mediocre person. After hearing this explanation, he immediately understood Liao Mingyu's intention. He wanted to make a quick interlude.
"If you want the troops to reach the designated location quickly and ensure logistical supplies, they can only transport them through a large number of trucks, and the existing Burma Road is the road to victory."
Liao Mingyu said slowly, raising his hand to place a few small flags on the sand table representing Longling.
His purpose was very clear, to use the gap between the retreat of the Japanese army to penetrate behind the enemy's rear, seize the key points of the enemy's defense depth, attack and destroy the enemy's important targets, divide and disrupt its deployment, cut off the enemy's retreat, and create favorable conditions for all departments to annihilate the enemy.
"The sea is rushing!"
"arrive!"
"Immediately send a report to the transportation force to transfer all motor vehicles and drivers in the division to the west bank and fully cooperate with the operations of the Honorable Third Division!"
"clear!"
Yu Xiaoqing issued the order without hesitation. He now has 100% trust in Liao Mingyu, who has repeatedly achieved miracles. No matter what, the latter's ability is obvious to all, and he has no reason not to believe it.
"Thank you. If there are no problems with the operation, I predict that the vanguard will arrive at Longling in the evening to launch the first wave of attacks. When Longling is captured, you will naturally have your share. By then, you, the commander of the army, will be able to take a solid position. Ah." Liao Mingyu said with a smile.
Yu Xiaoqing just shook her head helplessly at his joke. It's embarrassing to say that every victory seems to be achieved with the help of Liao Mingyu.
People in the family don't know what they are capable of and want to fight with others, so why should they fight? It's much more cost-effective to be friends with this unfathomable guy than to be enemies.
…
More than forty trucks crossed the river from Huitong Bridge, loaded with various supplies, and arrived at Heshun Town one after another. Yu Division's transport troops were also on their way.
"Captain Xing, here are the supplies and vehicles of the Second Regiment. Please take them over. I have to go ahead so I won't stop any longer."
Zhao Gongming got out of the car and immediately found Xing Fuquan and handed him the ammunition supplies and 25 trucks equipped with M2 heavy machine guns.
"Sorry to trouble you, Captain Zhao." Xing Fuquan nodded and thanked him. Then he turned around and ordered the soldiers: "Everyone quickly replenish ammunition. Battalion Commander Liu, take your soldiers and board with me immediately."
In accordance with Liao Mingyu's order, Xing Fuquan organized forty armed trucks and drove forward along the highway with the Sixth Battalion of the Second Regiment as the vanguard.
The devastated road was littered with corpses and wreckage. The Japanese army had already fully retreated. The battle in the afternoon cost the little Japanese a great deal. The 114th Regiment lost at least two-thirds.
The First Regiment and the Third Regiment have stopped their pursuit and are cleaning the battlefield with the cooperation of the Replenishment Regiment. The Transport Regiment has also sent over ammunition supplies, along with several trucks of dry food and canned food prepared from behind.
The attack plan has been formulated, and Liao Mingyu ordered Chen Jize to lead the team to board the car in an hour and follow the second regiment towards Longling.
"Hong Mu, let the brothers eat quickly. There is still a lot of work to do tonight."
At this time, Chen Jize also received the telegram order. He did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately arranged for the troops to rest and regroup quickly to prepare for the next battle.
Tonight, they will serve as the main force and fire the first shot to attack Longling.
Hong Mu put a bunch of magazines into his weapon belt, and said with a grimace, "Oh, these bunch of melons are not very good at coordinating their tactics. The group is so powerful. If we don't let them go, they will call us." Isn’t it difficult for a team to play forward?”
Most of the Third Regiment are newly recruited soldiers. Although they are not new recruits who know nothing, there is still a big gap compared with the veterans of the Sichuan Army in the First Regiment and Second Regiment.
Many soldiers did not understand what the three-three system and infantry-artillery coordination meant, and had no cooperation at all. They were timid in fighting. Hong Mu saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
"Stop complaining. Captain Meng and the others have been fighting all day. The troops are already exhausted. How can they afford to continue beating the troops?"
Chen Jize patted his shoulder and comforted softly: "Besides, veterans can only grow up through hard training on the battlefield. This is a good opportunity for us to train. You won't be willing to let our third regiment always have the reputation of being at the bottom, right?" .”
"Come on! You are the boss and you have the final say. I'm going to add a few more souls to this gun tonight." Hong Mu said with a carefree smile, slinging the Garand rifle on his shoulder.
"Well, that's cool!"
Chen Jize smiled with satisfaction,
There are only a few brothers in the officer training team who are still alive, and the others have sacrificed their young lives in battles.
But the remaining people were not timid because of this, because all the efforts were worth it. They laid the foundation for victory with their actions and defended the dignity of the Chinese soldiers with their lives.
Death in battle is the highest honor for a soldier. Chen Jize was not afraid at all. He was aloof and calm, and only had a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.
…
"どうしたの? What happened ahead?"
The artillery regiment that was still retreating on the road suddenly stopped. Commander Kikuta angrily walked to the front and asked.
"Hey! Report to the company commander that there are mines planted by the enemy in front of the road. They have just blown up two of our trucks and are now temporarily impassable."
A major immediately lowered his head and replied.
"Snapped!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the major received a hard slap on the face.
"Baga! Then why don't you send engineers to clear mines?" Kikuta cursed loudly in anger, do you still need to teach such a trivial matter?
"Hey, it's just...the engineer team's detector was on one of the bombed vehicles..."
The major replied with difficulty, it wasn't that he didn't want to send them, it was just because they were so lucky.
"Ke Suo! Then you can find a way yourself. Even if you use soldiers to open the way, you must ensure that the team continues to move forward!"
Kikuta was furious. If he stayed here for another minute, he would be in danger. The Chinese would soon catch up.
At this moment, there was no other choice. The major had no choice but to organize a small team to go at the front and use the body of a soldier to explore the way for the large army.
"Mom, what a shame... the little Japanese is really cruel."
Kaname on the hillside secretly complained that the Japanese are really good at it, even their own people can ignore it.
"What's the big deal? This is how they behave. You see, Takeuchi is ruthless and chops off his head at will." Long Wenwen said nonchalantly with a piece of weed in his mouth.
He was not worried about this. Not only were German-made disc anti-tank mines laid on the road, but there were also many S-type jump mines, specifically targeting two completely different targets.
This anti-tank mine was the equipment unlocked during the last attack on Nantianmen. It is a pressure-fired mine. The fuse can only be triggered by a force greater than 180 kilograms to cause an explosion. It contains 6 kilograms of TNT explosives, which is quite powerful.
Seeing that the functionality was good, Liao Mingyu simply exchanged dozens of them for emergencies.
"By the way, how many landmines have you planted in total? Do you remember their locations?" Long Wenwen suddenly asked, not long after the battle ended and one of his own was blown up.
"Dapanpan only brought 4 of them in total, and Duanzi Juesun Lei buried 8. Don't worry, they are all quite far apart. I remember the location..."
"boom!"
"boom!"
Before Kaname could finish speaking, two loud noises came from below. As expected, the little devil's pathfinding troops stepped on landmines again.
"Ah! It hurts!"
"Mom...save..."
"Help!"
…
Two S-type jumping mines knocked seven or eight little devils in the front row to the ground. Almost no one was killed, but these few little devils were holding their stomachs or crotches and screaming, those steel balls were shooting out. Make them miserable.
The other Japanese soldiers crouched down quickly and looked at the scene in horror. They had never seen such a vicious landmine.
Not only was it specially designed to blow up people on the third route without causing death, but these injured soldiers became a burden, and several people had to be sent out to take care of them. Their screams also made the surrounding Japanese soldiers even more frightened.
After a while, the injured little devil was dragged down, but the remaining people did not dare to move forward, but they had to move on under the sharp scolding of the officer.
It’s just that their walking speed is getting slower and slower. This kind of life-threatening chore is difficult for anyone to accept. They can only move forward at a cautious speed while staring at the ground unblinkingly, looking for something suspicious. I immediately squatted down to check the location.
This speed drove Kikuta crazy, but there was only one road, and the enemy buried mines on the road to prevent them from passing. Although the infantry could go around it, the field artillery behind them had nothing to do, so they could only stand in line and stare.
No, we can't wait any longer. Even if we let all the infantry go to the mine, they can't be dragged here. Kikuta made a plan silently in his heart.
"Arrange a squadron to go forward to explore the road, and the convoy behind will pass quickly. Even if you step on a mine, don't stop!" Kikuta yelled viciously.
But when his order had just been given, there was a commotion behind the convoy, followed by a burst of intensive gunfire.
"The Chinese are coming after us!"
"defense!"
Xing Fuquan and forty armed trucks had already made contact with the rear troops of the Little Japanese. The soldiers in the trucks quickly got out of the car and formed an offensive formation. The machine guns sprayed out deadly barrages, and several mortars were dragged down to fire at the Japanese troops.
Thousands of little Japanese were knocked to the ground by the dense bullets. The sudden attack left them in a hurry and the team was in chaos.
Most of the two thousand people in the artillery regiment were gunners or porters. Their combat effectiveness was far different from that of conventional field troops. Facing the strong firepower of the Second Regiment, they were completely unable to withstand it. They were unable to establish an effective line of defense. They were suppressed and forced to retreat continuously.
"Don't run! Hold on!"
Kikuta drew his gun and stopped several Japanese soldiers who were fleeing, but no matter how hoarse he shouted, he still couldn't stop the large army from nearly collapsing.
Some of the shells even hit their ammunition truck. The shells on the truck were blown up in all directions, causing an extremely powerful explosion in an instant. The entire convoy was already ablaze.
"Let's add fire to the fire and beat me!"
"Da da da da da...!"
Long Wenwen and others on the top of the mountain immediately started shooting. They were all ruthless men with extremely high marksmanship. Their shots were almost perfect from a distance of more than 200 meters.
Especially when Zhang Liu's gun with the kar98k was hit, he specifically looked for those officers to shoot. As long as the enemies appeared in his scope, they would not survive for another second.
"Puff puff……"
"Nani? There are enemies behind you!"
The little Japanese who didn't know what to do thought they were being attacked from both front and rear, and their morale suddenly disappeared. Most of the Japanese soldiers began to collapse and flee.
"Asshole, blow up all the cannons!"
Seeing that there was no way back, Kikuta made a shocking decision. He ordered the soldiers to place explosives on each field gun so that even if it was destroyed, the enemy would not be able to capture it.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
A series of explosions suddenly appeared on the road, and countless artillery pieces were blown into the air. The crazy little Japanese even committed suicide by detonating those artillery shells.
Terrifying shock waves and various shrapnel killed everyone indiscriminately. The Japanese army bore the brunt. Broken limbs and broken arms were blown up all over the sky. Captain Kikuta was also blown away by the explosion.
The soldiers of the second regiment who rushed forward were also killed and injured many times. The entire battlefield was filled with dust, as if it was covered by artillery fire.
Xing Fuquan asked the soldiers to avoid the explosion range and attack the two wings. After the death blow, the Japanese army could no longer make any effective resistance and was quickly surrounded by soldiers from the second regiment.
Coupled with the constant firing of cold guns by Long Wenwen and others on the top of the mountain, the artillery regiment had lost its ability to resist, and the remaining Japanese soldiers became dead souls under the guns. In the end, there were actually more than a dozen Japanese soldiers kneeling on the ground and surrendering to the soldiers. .
"We surrender, we surrender!"
Faced with the pleading of more than a dozen Japanese, the answer was cold bayonets, because Liao Mingyu said that he would not accept the surrender of anyone in the 18th Division.
"Kill them, leave no one behind!"
Xing Fuquan, with a cold face like a judge from the underworld, pronounced the death of these Japanese. He always carried out Liao Mingyu's orders to the end.
"Poof! Poof!"
"Yamiro!"
"ah……"
