Chapter 723 The worries of Hejian masterpiece
The Japanese army was also constantly changing tactics. Although they did not dare to send troops to pursue them, they sent a large number of lurking whistles around the garrison. Once the attacker was found, they would fire their guns and call the police. Although they lost a small number of lurking whistles, It alleviated the harm caused by the attackers to the large Japanese troops.
Due to the existence of the Japanese army's lurking whistle, many casualties were also caused. This attack tactic of the coalition forces significantly weakened for a while.
Of course this is not difficult for Gao Jiu.
That morning, the Japanese officers and soldiers hid behind the defensive positions. Although they had already set a lurking whistle in front of the positions, they still did not dare to relax their vigilance. Sentinels were always watching around carefully.
Suddenly, a slight sound came from the sky, which was the sound of shells cutting through the air. A large number of shells fell in the Japanese camp, and the caliber of these shells were very large, causing major casualties to the Japanese army.
It turned out that when Gao Jiu saw the attack from the small troops, he could no longer achieve a significant effect. He simply used 105mm and 122mm howitzers to launch artillery attacks on the Japanese camp at a long distance.
The Japanese army also used artillery fire to fight back, but their artillery caliber was too small to reach the artillery of the coalition forces at all, and they could only be beaten passively. In this case, the Japanese army could only be forced to dispatch infantry to attack the artillery positions of the coalition forces.
When the coalition's observation post saw the Japanese army dispatched, they immediately notified the artillery. The artillery hung the cannon behind the truck and quickly evacuated.
This artillery guerrilla tactic also caused significant casualties to the Japanese army, and it is obvious that the Japanese army was helpless against this guerrilla tactic.
Although the artillery soldiers have begun to fight guerrilla warfare now, the soldiers of the coalition forces are not idle either. They have organized many sharpshooters and run to the vicinity of the Japanese army's base in groups, and fire cold guns when they find opportunities.
Don’t underestimate this tactic. You can only defeat one or two enemies at a time, but you can’t stop the large number of coalition forces participating in the attack, causing dozens of casualties in the Japanese army every day.
The Japanese army was almost mad, and they were finally anxious. After an attack by a coalition forces, the Japanese army directly dispatched the entire unit's troops and chased the attackers. They thought that no matter how much casualties there were, they would eliminate them. These attackers.
The Japanese army was really desperate. They waded through the minefield and lost at least hundreds of officers and soldiers, but they ignored it and rushed over.
The officers and soldiers of the coalition forces alternately covered and fought and retreated while fighting. There were too many Japanese troops, so the firepower density was much higher.
Many casualties were also injured and killed during the retreat. Because the Japanese army pursued too quickly and the number of people was too large, the officers and soldiers of the coalition began to become in chaos, and they could not organize effective blockades, and then they also became It became a retreat.
The officers and soldiers of the coalition forces fled desperately, while the Japanese officers and soldiers chased each other desperately, and they opened fire while chasing.
Many coalition officers and soldiers fell down one after another. Seeing this situation, the Japanese army chased them even harder. In terms of figure, the coalition officers and soldiers were tall and big, while the Japanese had shorter legs. Relying on this gap, The officers and soldiers of the coalition forces gradually distanced themselves from the Japanese army.
However, the Japanese soldiers were determined to eat the weight. Although they were already out of breath and their hearts seemed to pop out of their chests, they still tried their best to chase them. Some people were really unable to breathe. On the ground, the others continued to pursue.
Among the retreating coalition forces, there were guerrillas from Taohua Mountain. While running, they reported to Guo Hengming on the phone.
Guo Hengming told Gao Jiu about this situation.
Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Guo Hengming, asking him to keep the Japanese troops in check and keep away from their positions. He immediately organized a mobile force that had been prepared, and he could ride a car, and he could ride a horse, and he would ride a horse toward the Japanese troops.
The wing rushed over.
The special forces members received a telegram from Gao Jiu and hurriedly shouted to the fleeing coalition officers and soldiers, hoping that they could run slower and not let the Japanese lose themselves.
Unfortunately, these guys were already scared of being beaten, and most of them were just rushing to escape, and a small number of brave soldiers followed the orders of the special forces.
They saw that the Japanese army behind also began to weaken their running speed, so they simply stopped and set up a machine gun and fired at the Japanese army again.
More than a dozen Japanese soldiers running in front were killed on the spot.
At this moment, the Japanese officers and soldiers who were almost unable to run, gritted their teeth and moved their numb legs again with their numb legs.
When the Japanese army's corps was 10 kilometers away from their original position, the main force led by Gao Jiu had already arrived.
Gao Jiu ordered the coalition officers and soldiers who were on the car to get off the car and prepare for battle, and the officers and soldiers who rode horses went to pick up the Japanese army's retreat.
The weather was hot, and the Japanese soldiers ran for so long that most of them could not hold on. They couldn't help but sit on the ground and breathe heavily. No matter how the Japanese officers scolded them, they couldn't get up.
The only idea now is to breathe evenly.
Seeing that the Japanese army was so tired, Gao Jiu didn't care about setting up any ambush positions and immediately ordered the coalition troops to launch an attack on the Japanese army.
The officers and soldiers of the coalition forces came here by car. They were very energetic. They held machine guns and submachine guns while rushing towards the Japanese army.
The artillery of the coalition forces also quickly set up artillery and bombarded the Japanese army.
The sudden appearance of the coalition forces made the Japanese army stunned. The Japanese army's corps captain hurriedly ordered the troops to organize defense on the spot.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were not only exhausted, but also their formation was very chaotic during the pursuit process. How could they organize an effective counterattack in a short period of time? The firepower of the coalition forces was very fierce, which soon caused major damage to the Japanese army.
casualties.
The Japanese army became even more chaotic and could not stop the coalition's offensive.
Seeing this situation, the Japanese army's corps leader hurriedly issued an order to retreat. After giving the order, he took the lead in retreating to his original position.
The Japanese corps captain was riding a horse, and he ran very fast, but the Japanese officers and soldiers only had two short legs. They ran here in one breath, and they couldn't even breathe. Where could they run?
He was soon caught up by the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces.
Gao Jiu was extremely good at capturing fighter jets in war. At this time, the coalition officers and soldiers were full of energy and had automatic firearms in their hands, which defeated the Japanese army in terms of firepower.
The Japanese army was a tired army at this time and the command was in chaos, so the coalition forces had a great advantage.
In this favorable situation, in order to quickly defeat the Japanese army, Gao Jiu ordered all the troops participating in the war not to care about formation, rushed forward in a swarm, sticking to the Japanese army tightly, and not giving them the opportunity to organize effective resistance.
The officers and soldiers of the coalition army were numerous and powerful, and the firepower was strong. When they saw that the Japanese army in front were defeated, their morale became even stronger.
They rushed to eliminate every Japanese officer and soldier they could see in front of them.
The Japanese army's retreat soon turned into a retreat. The desire to escape can often stimulate people's huge potential. The Japanese officers and soldiers who were already very tired actually ran quickly again in order to survive. Their physical strength was exhausted
It was too big, and after running for a while, the pace slowed down again. Many people ran and saw darkness and fell to the ground.
Many Japanese officers and soldiers were so tired that they just wanted to stop and take a breath. Even if they were about to die, they would not want to run away again.
Many Japanese officers and soldiers lay on the ground and fired randomly at the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces. This had a certain effect, and many coalition officers and soldiers who rushed in front were shot and injured.
The officers and soldiers of the coalition were in high spirits. When they saw the Japanese army resisting, they used the machine guns and submachine guns in their hands to shoot at the Japanese army, constantly clearing the remaining enemies, and then continued to pursue the Japanese brigade.
The Japanese army's corps leader rode his followers on fast horses and fled desperately, hoping to escape back to his original defensive position as soon as possible. But their hopes were soon lost, and they clearly saw a large number of enemy troops appearing in front of them.
The cavalry and the cavalry dismounted one after another and set up machine guns and artillery on the ground. Soon the shells and bullets came.
Although the Japanese officers and soldiers were very brave when pursuing the coalition troops, their morale was already very low at this time and they had lost the spirit of pursuit. They were very chaotic, and the officers shouted desperately.
Then, we began to organize and resist.
Gao Jiu saw that the Japanese army had been surrounded, and if he continued to fight like this, he would cause unnecessary casualties.
So he ordered the troops to stop attacking and simply surrounded the Japanese army.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were surrounded in the wilderness and quickly repaired the fortifications, but their physical strength was exhausted and they had no ability to dig fortifications.
Not only that, Gao Jiu would not leave them time to repair fortifications.
Gao Jiu ordered a large number of artillery of various caliber brought by the coalition forces to bombard the surrounded Japanese army.
The Japanese army's artillery was very rare, and most of them were thrown away on the way to retreat. The only small number of artillery was soon lost under the bombing of the coalition forces. The Japanese officers and soldiers were exposed.
On the ground, with endless fire strikes, the only thing they can do is to lie on the ground with their heads in their arms, hoping to stay away from themselves when the shells explode.
Gao Jiu commanded the artillery soldiers to bombard them for 40 minutes in one breath, and the number of shells fired was almost as high as the number of Japanese officers and soldiers.
Most of the Japanese troops without any hidden objects were killed and injured. Many people were stunned by the air waves of shell explosions and basically lost their ability to resist.
Seeing that it was almost done, Gao Jiu ordered the coalition troops to launch a general attack.
The officers and soldiers of the coalition forces rushed up, and the battle was completely resolved in a short while.
The battles these days have consumed a large number of Japanese troops, and this battle has wiped out a Japanese wing. The Japanese 66th Division's troops have been reduced to less than half of the previous ones. The Japanese division commander saw this situation.
Ask Commander Ando for tactical guidance and ask the troops to move towards the seaside.
Ando approved his request. On that night, when the small coalition troops came to attack them again, they suddenly all their troops were dispatched and retreated towards the seaside.
This time, the attack was a combat unit of the British-Burma Alliance, with three regiments, which were submerged in the Japanese army and were completely lost.
This is the biggest loss suffered by the coalition forces since the beginning of this battle, and more than 300 officers and soldiers lost their lives.
Despite this, the 66th Division of the Japanese Army was defeated and the morale of the entire coalition troops was extremely strong.
Gao Jiu commanded the coalition forces to continue to advance towards the oil production area.
Ando, commander of the 16th Army of the Japanese Army, now knew very well that he could not defeat Gao Jiu at all, and Gao Jiu had a great advantage in terms of military strength and firepower.
In terms of tactical command of the battle, Ando also felt very passive.
Ando was used to being arrogant and fighting like this. He felt very cowardly, so he spread his anger on the 11th Air Force.
He believed that the Japanese aviation army had a great advantage, and if they could participate in the battle, the battle would not have been like this.
He personally drove to the 11th Air Force station and asked the commander of the 11th Air Force why he didn't send troops to help them fight.
Although the Japanese 11th Air Force was under the jurisdiction of the Japanese 16th Army, they did not take Ando seriously. The commander had already prepared a lot of excuses to wait for Ando.
At the beginning, he gave Ando a face, and he would just defend whatever Ando asked. Later, when he saw Ando chattering, he became annoyed and slapped the table with him. The two sides had a big quarrel.
Finally, it ended in a bad mood.
Ando wanted to find a scapegoat, so he sued the Japanese 11th Air Force to his superiors.
The 11th Japanese Air Force was not to be outdone. They accused the 16th Army Ando of the poor protection of them, so that their airports were often attacked by enemies.
Although Hejian Dazu is in Vietnam, he always pays attention to Gao Jiu's movements.
When the war report from India came, based on his understanding of Gao Jiu, he could tell that Gao Jiu had already gone to India at this time. The reason why the 16th Army failed was because Gao Jiu was in command of the coalition forces.
He Jiandazuo's feelings for Gao Jiu were very complicated, with admiration and friendship. But after all, he was a senior general of the Japanese army, and his position was still on the side of the Japanese.
He knew that Ando was definitely not Gao Jiu's opponent. If the battle continued, the 16th Army would not only suffer major losses, but could even be wiped out.
Now that the Japanese army is in short supply, the strength of this army will be greatly weakened in Southeast Asia. Not to mention maintaining its strategic offensive status, it is difficult to even defend.
Kamimao wanted to protect the 16th Army, so he wanted to have a good talk with Ando.
However, Kamimao also has its own difficulties. He cannot take the initiative to talk to Ando. Ando is a person who is very difficult to deal with. Kamimao's kindness is likely to be misunderstood by him, and
This is a handle to accuse He Jiandazuo and Gao Jiu of collusion.
