"salute!"
Seeing the chief returning, the two guards standing guard at the door of the main control room shouted loudly. Liao Mingyu ignored it and pushed the door straight in. Then he locked the door and walked to the map with a solemn expression.
The Battle of Chiang Mai has ended, and the system has immediately reported the situation to Liao Mingyu. Although there is no clear battle report, it is certain that the Japanese army has lost control of northwest Siam, and there is basically no obstacle to the march south.
The strategic purpose of this time is to wipe out the effective Japanese forces in the Chiang Mai area as much as possible. According to the pre-planned encirclement operation plan, at least the little devils in Inthanon Mountain will definitely be unable to escape. It is estimated that it will not be long before the Kaoji people They will send back a detailed combat report.
"The Fourth Division is still on the map. It's really hard to catch these cunning Osaka people, but with two brigades acting as scapegoats, this battle is not in vain."
Liao Mingyu muttered a few words to himself. A few days ago, the Gaoji people reported that the 200th Division, the 50th Division and the Merrill Commando were united, and the encirclement was successfully sealed. It is estimated that the area has been closed in the past two days. After all the little devils in the encirclement were wiped out, the system reported the results.
In fact, the paratrooper tactics of the Merrill Commando were very successful. They cut off the retreat of the Japanese army and bought valuable time for the two masters to encircle them. However, their casualties were also quite heavy, with a battle loss rate of 5%. Ten, more than 1,300 paratroopers were killed alone, and the rest were also more or less injured.
The desperate kid was so crazy that he almost desperately wanted to break through the blocking defense line set up by the Merrill Commando. This was also the main reason for the heavy casualties of the latter.
Fortunately, the 200th Division and the 50th Division, which were rushing behind, moved faster. Facing the Japanese army blocking the enemy behind the Nuanshan position, they also launched a fierce attack without paying any attention to casualties. Coupled with the support of US air fighters, they finally succeeded in defeating the enemy. The siege was completed before the paratrooper position fell.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed, and the morale of the Japanese army plummeted after being trapped in a tight encirclement. Kimura Jiro did not bother to continue to break out, and could only let the troops gather in the center to temporarily avoid the edge.
However, the connection between the Japanese troops was not close enough. Communication equipment such as radios was only distributed to the brigade level. Moreover, the enemy had no intention of stopping and resting after the encirclement, and directly launched an attack on them.
Most of the Japanese troops could only fight and retreat. Many teams were scattered and fought on their own. Even with a radio, it was difficult to get in touch with their commanders. In the chaos, they were quickly divided and surrounded, and fell into the ruthless gunfire. .
Kimura Jiro and some of his remnants finally found a higher place to prepare for on-site defense, and many scattered troops gradually gathered here. Then the old Japanese angrily ordered the Fourth Division and the Siamese Front to reinforce and relieve the siege at all costs.
The order was sent out, but they didn't even think about coming over. The Siamese army simply refused to send troops to support them because they were bombed by the US Air Force.
The Fourth Division was even more outrageous. Masahiro Baba asked a brigade under his command to tentatively move a certain distance north. After encountering the enemy, they just pretended to fire a few shots and then ran away.
Looking back, I did not forget to report to my superiors how they fought a great battle with the enemy and how tragic and tragic the scene was.
Even a certain company of the 50th Division responsible for providing reinforcements was dumbfounded. The Japanese seemed to be here to go shopping. They ran away without a trace before they could react. It was really disappointing. People are confused.
Jiro Kimura also hoped that the friendly forces could break through the enemy, so that the people trapped in them could even bloom in the middle, strategically forming a larger encirclement and turning defeat into victory.
But as everyone knows, the friendly forces with their own ulterior motives have never thought about sincere rescue, and even if they have that intention, the other side will not give this opportunity.
The encirclement on the battlefield had been formed. The 200th Division and the 50th Division regrouped and began to close the net. It was only in the next two days that the little Japanese who became the turtle in the urn felt the beginning of the nightmare.
Explosions became the main theme on the battlefield. If aerial bombing is included, they dumped more than a hundred tons of artillery shells in the direction of the Japanese army within two days, flattening the mountaintop.
Countless little Japs would be reduced to ashes in the boundless artillery fire. Even the old Japs Kimura Jiro couldn't escape this disaster and was evaporated directly on the spot by a shell.
With the full suppression of firepower, the 200th Division and the 50th Division launched their attacks immediately. The Japanese saved a lot of trouble by joining together. Facing these trapped and defeated soldiers, they hardly expended much effort. On the third day, most of the Japanese troops were wiped out.
It's a pity that the Fourth Division was the first to carry the bucket and run away to avoid disaster, otherwise the result this time would definitely be greater.
…
"Ding... I got a chance to draw a light weapon and a chance to draw a heavy weapon. Do you want to use it now?" the system's voice asked in his mind.
"Is such a huge victory worth two weapon draws? That's so fucking stupid..."
Liao Mingyu complained for a while. In the past, there were points rewards and a series of weapon unlocks, but now there are only two pitiful weapon extractions. The gap is really too big.
The system was too lazy to argue with him, and asked again in a nonchalant manner: "...Does the host want it or not? If the host doesn't want it, the reward can be cancelled."
Liao Mingyu was speechless. Don't give up. Based on the idea that mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, he immediately asked to start the lottery.
"Ding... The light weapons are being drawn. Congratulations to the host for getting the Soviet-made PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle. The gun has a combat weight of 17.25 kg, a gun length of 2 meters, a bullet caliber of 14.5×114 mm, a single-shot manual loading, and the exchange price is 60 points..."
Liao Mingyu was greatly disappointed when he heard this. This thing called the clavicle crusher is a nightmare for most infantry operators. Without a strong body, you can't control it.
Moreover, Southeast Asia does not encounter large-scale tank clusters like on the European battlefield. The existing anti-tank weapons are completely sufficient, and anti-tank rifles are purely useless.
"Keep going, next one..."
"Ding...Heavy weapons are being extracted...Congratulations to the host for getting the BM-13 H rocket launcher, which fires 132mm M-13 rockets. The bottom is made of the American general GMC 6X6 truck chassis. The total combat weight is 5.85 tons..."
"What the hell? Kat...Katyusha rocket launcher!
? "Liao Mingyu was so excited that he shouted out. He was so surprised that he actually got this big killer weapon out.
When it comes to the famous Katyusha rocket launcher in World War II, everyone knows it. This weapon is also called "Stalin's Organ". It has made a lot of contributions in the hands of Mao Xiong, and even caused the arrogant United States to suffer a lot on the Bangzi Peninsula.
