Chapter 580 The Battle of Yunnan and Burma (4)
The 1st Regiment is now exhausted physically and mentally, and they are forcibly marching. And as the vanguard, they are responsible for the road for the entire 33rd Division. Now, not only did they fail to pass the road, but they are trapped in a battle with the enemy and paid a heavy price.
Now the Japanese army doesn't know how many enemies they are facing, but they know that there are actually not many enemies, no more than one thousand people at most. But only these thousand people disrupted their entire plan. Six hours have passed since the telegram sent by Kuang Anhua to Sun Liren.
During these six hours, the special camp people once again achieved very brilliant results. Now the number of people who destroyed the Japanese army has reached about 3,000. Moreover, the number of injured Japanese troops has surged to about 2,000.
The casualties of the Japanese army are now close to 5,000. This is hard to imagine. Sakurai Satomi is now feeling distressed and her chest hurts. The warriors of nearly 5,000 empires have lost their combat effectiveness. Now the number of people who can fight in his troops is nearly 7,000 less. So many injured people need to be taken care of, which has seriously dragged down the Japanese army's combat.
The 1st Regiment is now like a trapped beast, still fighting back. However, their counterattack is so pale and powerless that they have no choice but to the special camp. In fact, anyone who encounters such a situation is very depressed.
The special battalion has accurate shooting skills and extremely powerful concealment. Its weapons are better than those of the Japanese army, which is almost unilateral massacre. In one day, the death toll of the Japanese army was simply a horrifying number. One of the achievements of such a brilliant record was because the Japanese army did not expect that they would be attacked and caught off guard in a short period of time. The second was because the Japanese army's mission was to advance and could not retreat.
This caused the Japanese army's tragedy. If they could withdraw from the defense zone in time and think of countermeasures, perhaps their casualties were not that great, but they were too late now. The main force had relatively few casualties. This was also the timely withdrawal of the attacked area. Otherwise, they would never have died so many people.
But the first regiment was not as lucky as they were. They were unable to move forward or retreat. In a word, it was waiting for death. The process of waiting for death was very uncomfortable. Now the Japanese regiment is holding an urgent meeting.
"Our General Captain, our casualties are getting worse and worse now. We must not continue like this, otherwise our entire regiment will be broken!" The Chief of Staff reminded the regiment commander and said
"I know, but how can we retreat now? Haven't you seen the telegram sent by the division commander? They were also attacked by the Chinese army. In other words, we will not only be pursued by these enemies, but also blocked us in front! We can only stabilize our defense line first and wait for the division commander's order!" The captain of the regiment sighed helplessly.
They fought to the death with the British with ambitions, but now they encountered a tenacious blockade. And the most important thing is that their attack was completely against cotton and was so powerless. They could not find the target of bombing and the target of attack, and now they could only defend on the spot.
But the whole road was so big, their defense line was too wide, and they died every minute. How long could they last? The captain was hesitating whether he forced himself to rush out to meet the main force? But the cost of casualties was too great.
"Your Excellency Corps, now we are not a time to hesitate! We will retreat to find the division commander and others, and there is still a trace of vitality! Otherwise, we will never have any possibility of survival here! You Youer Excellency Corps, look at the soldiers of our empire! They have lost their fighting spirit!" The Chief of Staff said anxiously. The influence of morale is very great now, and the deaths of so many people have cast a shadow on the entire army.
The captain of the corps was still hesitating, and the chief of staff said anxiously: "Old Captain, the sky is about to dawn. Our corps has now suffered more than half of the casualties. We have no way to continue fighting. If we persist like this, it is unknown if our corps can still exist!"
The captain of the corps were shocked. Yes, if he continues to persist now, then what is waiting for them may be to cancel the number of the corps 1. The number of the corps must not be revoked in his own hands. The captain of the corps showed a trace of firmness in his eyes. The chief of staff looked at the captain of the corps and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If he persisted, then they would be wiped out.
The corps leader said: "Order all troops to retreat quickly in the direction of the division under the protection of cars and chariots!"
The Chief of Staff immediately asked, "Wing Captain, what should we do with our wounded?"
The corps captain said: "All the minor wounded get on the bus. As for the serious wounded... let them be loyal to the empire!" Listening to the corps captain's words, the chief of staff felt sad. At this moment, he knew that this was the best choice. There was little hope for these seriously injured people to survive. Now if they were taken with them, they would inevitably drag down many people and let many innocent imperial warriors sacrifice for them.
Now the most scarce thing in the 1st Regiment is people, and their casualties are too great. The Japanese army's forced breakthrough was unexpected by Kuang Anhua, but Kuang Anhua could only shake his head.
The number of Japanese troops was too large, so if they wanted to escape, they actually had no way. The minefield was an obstacle to the Japanese army's mind, but Kuang Anhua also knew that their minefield could only be one-time and had been used up.
Kuang Anhua immediately said: "If the troops chase the troops, they can kill as much as they can. Order the first and second rows to block the attack in sections! I don't believe how many people they can run back! If hundreds of people are running back in the end, we will have completed the mission!"
After receiving the news from the first row and the second row, the first registrar beat them again when they passed by their defense zone. However, the Japanese army escaped too quickly. During the entire pursuit, the special camp shot less than 300 people.
At this moment, the team leader was so regretful. If he knew that this was the case, he would forcefully retreat even if he tried to die hundreds of people. Now he had to feel depressed by his hesitation. Finally escaped, the team leader breathed a sigh of relief.
"Report, wing captain! At present, the remaining number of people in my 1st wing is 742!" The following soldiers report
"What? More than 700 people? Are you sure?" the corps leader looked at the orderly soldier in disbelief and asked.
"Yes, your corps commander, this is the final result of statistics! Our army broke 3,022 people this time!" The orderly soldier said with confidence, and he could only use this word to describe the 1st Regiment. He was alive to describe the mood of the corps commander at this moment.
"Report, please come over by your division commander!" Another orderly soldier came in and said to the corps captain.
"I understand, go down!" The captain of the regiment was already weak at this moment. His mission of the 1st regiment was basically over. This time, facing Sakurai Shizuo may be furious with the division commander.
After hearing the report from the 1st Army, Sakurai was not as angry as he imagined. At this moment, he knew that if he let his wing go, he would definitely not have thought of letting the wing go back. In fact, when the 1st Army came back, he gave a breath in his heart. If the system of a wing was destroyed, then Sakurai would collapse.
"Your Excellency Commander, I am ashamed of your expectations! I can only apologize for the cesarean section!" The captain of the regiment came to Sakurai Satomi and said his thoughts directly. In fact, who wants to die? Of course, he doesn't want to die, but if Sakurai Satomi said this, there would be no room for maneuver. At least now there is a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the commander of the division can give him another chance.
"Get up, this time it's really no wonder you have happened. This time the division made a mistake. I didn't expect someone to attack my division. Now that I think about it, we are careless. We think the British dare not attack us, but there are Chinese people when they go!" Sakurai Shizuo comforted the corps captain instead.
"Secretary Commander..." The corps captain was a little terrified
"Okay, we must be like an imperial soldier. We can win and face failure! Through this blockade, we have reason to believe that our opponents are very strong. I was a little worried at this moment, who was full of confidence! However, the empire's determination to capture Myanmar will never change!" Sakurai said firmly with his eyes.
"But, we can't break through their defense zone now!" The corps captain said with concern.
"Don't worry about this. This morning, we will use our tanks to drive the way through the cannon! As long as we arrive at the reservation location, these people will not have a great threat to us. There is no way to expand here now!" Sakurai Satomi said helplessly.
"This will cost a lot of artillery fire, which will be extremely unfavorable for our future attack!"
Sakurai Shizuo naturally knew that, but there was no way now. These Chinese troops were really too disguised. Now their troops have lost so many people, but how many people have they lost?
Sakurai Satomi felt ache when he imagined it. This might be the most unbalanced battle in the death ratio! However, the order of the 15th Army has been issued. If they can't book the time, then... Fortunately, Sakurai Satomi set out a few days in advance, otherwise it would have been the time to book.
In fact, after such a long period of consumption, they could not bear it. At most, they could hold on until night, without rest for more than a day, and were highly concentrated. They were always in an excited state. Now that the Japanese army has withdrawn from their defense zone, they have obviously decreased their spirits, and most importantly, they have no sufficient ammunition now.
Everyone only carried five hundred bullets, and they almost never stopped for a moment. In order to prevent the Japanese army from resting enough at night, their shooting has never stopped. Although their ammunition is still available, it is no longer enough to kill and injure the Japanese army on a large scale.
Their raid this time was mainly to catch the Japanese army off guard. As long as the Japanese army was careful, once they broke through the front line of defense and came to the open ground, the special battalion would lose its terrain advantage and their advantages would become quite few. At that time, there were only large-scale group fighting. Although the special battalion could play a certain role, it would definitely not be the dominant role.
At noon, the Japanese army began to gather continuously, and then began to clear out the people who attacked them along both sides of the road like a mountain. Their mission was to ensure the attack of the large army. At this time, the direct team, which was oppressed by the Japanese army, was helplessly chosen to avoid it. This time, the Japanese army was different from the past, and it became wiser after taking a look!
The Japanese army is now equipped with mortars. That is to say, once a Japanese army is killed, the direction where the gunfire is heard will definitely be covered by artillery. This situation will increase the number of deaths in the special camp. If more than ten Japanese killers die, one special camp person will be sacrificed, which is extremely inappropriate.
The platoon leader began to decisively order retreating, and the first line of defense collapsed. Sakurai Satomi was also slightly relieved. In fact, this strategy was the last method that the corps leader thought of when he was talking to the corps leader yesterday. He did not expect that this method was still very practical, and he soon saw the effect.
The first platoon leader did not hesitate at any time. At this moment, more than twenty people had died in the first and second platoons. Now they had no choice but to deal with the Japanese army. At this speed at the Japanese army, they would have to arrive at the defense zone until tomorrow morning at least.
It can be said that this time the special battalion completed the task very well. Even if they retreat now, they were satisfied. Their results this time were brilliant enough, killing more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 3,000 injured Japanese soldiers. In other words, their disruption once caused the Japanese army to lose one-third of their combat effectiveness.
If Sun Liren saw such a result, he might be shocked and jumped up. But he didn't know why he called a special camp? In fact, it is naturally special. If he doesn't have any characteristics, would he dare to call a special camp? The 500 people from the 18th Army dared to fight against the Japanese head-on?
If you dare, you might be really brave, but the results you have achieved are definitely not as good as you are now. This is beyond doubt. The combat effectiveness of the special battalion is only the strongest part of the 18th Army, and their strength cannot represent the strength of most 18th Army. They are sharp swords and sharp stabs! Their tasks are always extremely difficult.
