Chapter 654: It's Gao Jiuye who beat you
Qingshui Xiu breathed evenly and climbed up to a roof. At this time, he didn't need to use a telescope and saw countless anti-Japanese people holding weapons around the village. He knew that he was finished and sat on the roof.
The Japanese soldiers under him are usually very brave, but after experiencing this scene today, they all became dejected and lost their fighting spirit.
The failure of the 43rd Japanese Brigade came too suddenly. When Shimizu Sei-shui arrived, she was very aggressive. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly turned sharply. Along the way, he was only concerned about running for life. Only then did he remember to report the situation here to his superiors. But looking around, there was no one left in the radio station soldiers, and he didn't even have the chance to report the deceased to his superiors.
At this time, as long as Guo Hengming issued an attack order, countless anti-Japanese people would flock to swallow the remaining Japanese troops in the village.
But Guo Hengming could not do this. These anti-Japanese people are the main force in building the North District of the Golden Triangle. The sacrifice of anyone among them is a huge loss for the Golden Triangle.
Guo Hengming did not issue an order to attack later, but mobilized a large number of artillery and bombarded the small village violently.
The North District of the Golden Triangle guards the largest arsenal in Southeast Asia. What they lacked the least was weapons and ammunition. This round of shells lasted for 40 minutes, and at least 5,000 shells fell into the village. The entire village was razed to the ground. After the shelling was over, there was no sign of life in the entire village. In this way, the powerful 43rd Brigade of the Japanese Army was completely destroyed.
"Victory. Victory. We are victorious." Seeing the invading Japanese army, 100,000 people in the northern part of the Golden Triangle burst into warm cheers, and the sound shook the sky and resounded through the sky.
At this time, the vast number of anti-Japanese people were full of confidence. If they were asked to fight against the Japanese army at this time, even if the Japanese army came to another division, they would be defeated directly.
Guo Hengming, Li Chengwu and others were very happy and reported the news of the victory to Gao Jiu with telegram.
At this time, Gao Jiu had already led the troops of the 38th Division to intersect at the junction between the 22nd and 23rd Divisions of the Japanese army. They directly launched a fierce attack on a Japanese infantry brigade guarding there.
Chongqing. Gaojiu's villa.
In the early morning, Ouyang Xue was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly there were bursts of pain in her abdomen, which made her hum.
The fifth lady who was guarding her hurriedly took a towel, wiped away the cold sweat from her head, and asked, "Girl, how do you feel?"
Ouyang Xue said: "My stomach hurts very much, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth."
The fifth lady stood up quickly, walked to the door quickly, and shouted loudly, "Come here soon! Miss Ouyang is about to give birth." In the medical room, the medical staff were already ready. Hearing the shouts, they flocked out and rushed towards Ouyang Xue's room.
After the gynecologist checked Ouyang Xue's condition, he kept saying: "Hurry! Hurry, Mrs. Gao is about to give birth, everyone should prepare quickly!"
The delivery room was set up in Ouyang Xue's room. Ouyang Xue's parents, cousin, fifth wife and others who had already arrived were all guarding the room next door. They were anxiously waiting for the news of Ouyang Xue's delivery.
Under Yangon City, the Japanese army was also anxiously waiting for news from the 43rd Brigade.
Not long ago, they received news that the 43rd Brigade had successfully entered the border of the northern area of the Golden Triangle and was continuing to advance towards the depth of the Golden Triangle.
The senior Japanese generals knew that there was still a Taohuashan guerrilla team belonging to Gaojiu in the northern area of the Golden Triangle. The 43rd Brigade must have a fierce battle with them, and they are waiting for the result of the war.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the news still did not come. The Japanese commander was a little nervous because they knew that in Yangon City, a large number of reinforcements from the Anti-Japanese Army had arrived.
The two sides are about to start a war, and they hope that the 43rd Brigade will receive good news. They believe that as long as the 43rd Brigade successfully attacks the North District of the Golden Triangle, the anti-Japanese troops near Yangon City in front of them will definitely be disintegrated and may even collapse without fighting.
They waited for a long time, but there was no news from the 43rd Brigade, and an unexpected situation suddenly happened.
The division commander of the 22nd Division received a report that a powerful anti-Japanese army suddenly attacked a Japanese unit that was combined with the 22nd Division and the 23rd Division. The enemy had strong troops and very fierce firepower.
Now they have cut off the connection between the 22nd Division and the 23rd Division. This situation was completely beyond the expectations of the Japanese commander, because they would never have imagined that the Anti-Japanese Army would dare to intersperse into the middle of the two main divisions of the Japanese army.
Isn't that waiting to be encircled and annihilated?
The division commander of the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army immediately communicated with the division commander of the 23rd Division on a radio station. Both sides were preparing to gather the main forces of the two major divisions to encircle the anti-Japanese army at their junction.
At this moment, bad news came. To the northwest of the 22nd Division, there was a powerful Yunnan Army unit and the autonomous army armed forces in the Kokang area, which had already launched an attack on the 22nd Division.
The anti-Japanese army guarding Yangon City was dispatched in full swing and launched an attack on the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army from the southwest to the south.
At this time, the division commander of the 22nd Division discovered that they were actually trapped in the siege of the Anti-Japanese Army. He hurriedly reported the information to the headquarters of the 16th Army.
The 16th Army has been waiting for news from the 43rd Brigade. Until now, they have not received news from the 43rd Brigade. They have already felt something is wrong. After receiving the report from the 22nd Division, they realized that something must have happened to the 43rd Brigade.
They were very puzzled and did not understand why the 43rd Brigade had not even sent a telegram? They did not understand what the 43rd Brigade had encountered, but they knew that their carefully formulated plan to build a plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang's sneak attack plan failed. Not only that, the 22nd Division was also surrounded by the anti-Japanese army.
The commander of the 16th Army of the Japanese army was very decisive. He immediately ordered the 22nd Division to move closer to the 23rd Division. The 23rd Division immediately launched an attack on the Anti-Japanese Army, which was interspersed at the joint headquarters of the two main divisions, and strived to open up the connection between the two main divisions as soon as possible.
The division commander of the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army was in a very bad mood. He had realized that something had happened to the 43rd Brigade. The 43rd Brigade was one of the two main forces of the 23rd Division and suffered losses in vain.
He didn't understand what kind of powerful force the 43rd Brigade had encountered, and he couldn't even send a telegram for help. This scene made him shudder.
To be honest, he knew in advance that this battle was related to the terrifying Gao Jiu. At this time, he had already retreated and did not want to continue fighting. However, he had to implement the orders of the 16th Army Command.
So he cheered up and led the remaining troops of the division to prepare to rescue the 22nd Division.
At this moment, a roar came from the sky, and an anti-Japanese transport plane flew over them, and then a large number of leaflets were scattered from it.
The flyer fell down like snowflakes. A staff officer picked up the flyer and delivered it to the division commander.
The division commander saw the flyer saying: "Silly Japanese! Your tactics of attacking Yangon City and secretly attacking the northern part of the Golden Triangle have gone bankrupt. Your tactics of building a plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang are not good. In terms of military tactics, the Chinese are your ancestors, and you are not worthy of being the disciples of the Chinese.
Now I can tell you that your 43rd Brigade has indeed reached the periphery of the North District of the Golden Triangle, but in less than two hours, they were wiped out.
Let me tell you the truth! The person who commanded the army to annihilate the 43rd Brigade was the famous Master Gao Jiu. You are so brave! You dare to sneak attack Master Gao Jiu's territory. I don't know how the word "death" is written. Now Master Gao Jiu is leading the army to attack you, so you can just wait for death, hahahaha!"
"It's Gao Jiu, it's indeed that damn Gao Jiu." The commander of the 23rd Division shouted in horror.
The news after the 43rd Brigade was destroyed severely hit the morale of the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army. At this moment, they felt very scared because they always thought that the main force of the Anti-Japanese Army was attracted to the vicinity of Yangon City. Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, the 43rd Brigade could be wiped out. It is conceivable how powerful the Anti-Japanese Army was hiding.
The division commander of the 23rd Division now has only one brigade and direct troops left. He didn't know when the main force of the Anti-Japanese Army would be surrounded. He now had the idea of leading his troops to escape, but the order to rescue the 22nd Division issued by the 16th Army must be implemented.
After weighing the interests, he decided to lead the main force of the 23rd Division to launch a fierce attack on the enemy troops interspersed at the junction of the main forces of the two major divisions. If they cannot be defeated, they should be prepared to retreat at any time.
After the 38th Division defeated a Japanese infantry brigade, it immediately built fortifications on site.
The soil in this area is moist and soft, and it is easier to dig. However, because it had just been a heavy rain, the ground was wet, muddy, and reddish-brown soil was difficult to get rid of when it was shovels. The soldiers were very difficult to dig. What made them feel most uncomfortable was that they dug the trenches and soon filled with a lot of mud and water.
The soldiers were wearing leather shoes and gaiters, and their shoes were filled with mud and water, and their legs were soaked in water. The feeling was really terrible. However, the soldiers could not care about so much, because they knew that the large Japanese troops would soon attack them, so they could only grit their teeth and dig the trenches desperately.
The Japanese army came faster than they expected. The commander of the 22nd Division of the Japanese army had realized the danger and immediately organized troops to rush towards the 38th Division's troops.
The officers and soldiers of the 38th Division had not been dug up most of the trenches, so they could only lie in the mud and fire at the Japanese army rushing up.
The Japanese army also knew the seriousness of the problem. They had already learned about the 43rd Brigade being encircled and annihilated. They did not want to follow the footsteps of the 43rd Brigade, so the Japanese officers and soldiers wade through the mud and water and launched a crazily charge forward.
The officers and soldiers of the 38th Division used fierce firepower to block the Japanese offensive and cover other comrades to dig trenches.
As time passed, trenches gradually took shape, soldiers entered the trenches, the casualties decreased a lot, and the positions began to stabilize.
Gao Jiu, Liao Tong, Liu Zhanying and others did not dare to be careless at all. They knew that the attacks of the two major Japanese divisions were of great power.
They urged the soldiers to continue digging trenches and gradually expand their defensive positions outward to reduce casualties caused by enemy artillery fire. Soon after, the defensive positions finally formed a defensive fortification group that was several kilometers long and more than 500 meters wide.
An hour later, the main force of the Japanese army appeared.
The 22nd Japanese Division was eager to open up contact with the 23rd Division, and they launched an attack with the strength of a corps. The 23rd Japanese Division also dispatched an infantry brigade and launched an attack on the positions of the 38th Division.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom." The artillery fire of both the enemy and us fired violently. Although the artillery equipped by the 38th Division was advanced in performance and large in caliber, their defense area was relatively narrow and the artillery was placed relatively concentrated. During the artillery battle, they suffered great losses. Soon after, most of the artillery was destroyed by the enemy.
The Japanese artillery fire quickly gained an advantage. In order to open up the liaison between the two main divisions as soon as possible, they spared no expense to pour a large amount of artillery shells into the position of the 38th Division.
Although the officers and soldiers of the 38th Division had been covered by trenches, they still suffered heavy casualties in the fierce enemy artillery fire.
After the Japanese army prepared for fierce artillery fire, they launched a fierce attack on the positions defended by the 38th Division. Thousands of Japanese soldiers rushed up with bright bayonets, howling and howling.
Although the officers and soldiers of the 38th Division lost most of the artillery support, most of the infantry weapons in their hands were submachine guns, and a large number of machine guns, and the firepower was still very fierce.
The Japanese infantry fell in large numbers under the straits of violent bombardment. Soon, they could not hold on and retreated again.
Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying were originally very worried that under such circumstances, the troops of the 38th Division could not withstand the pressure of the Japanese army and would collapse. However, the officers and soldiers were beyond their expectations and were so tenacious, which was beyond their understanding of their own troops. However, when they saw Gao Jiu standing aside, they immediately understood.
The most important thing about whether a unit can win a battle is not weapons or other conditions. What plays a decisive role is the morale of the troops. Just like in the war against the anti-Middle Aid, the Volunteer Army was poorly equipped, but they were able to defeat those armed joint troops. What they rely on was the strong will and strong morale of the soldiers.
The 38th Division's troops were still the former 38th Division's troops. However, because Gao Jiu was by their side, these soldiers believed that they would definitely win the final victory out of trust in Gao Jiu. Therefore, no one was afraid and would not be shaken. They fled. They burst out with fighting will and powerful combat power that was far beyond their usual period.
