Destroying the Sun Chapter 70 The Decisive Factor

. "2nd Reserve Team, come on!"

This is a small hill that can overlook Hirari Town. Major General Yukito Satoki, the commander of the 31st Division of Japan, leaned on a quaint saber in both hands, and sat on the marching folding bench with his eyes facing the front. As the adjutant conveyed the order, another group of well-equipped Japanese infantry passed under the hill and quickly entered the battlefield. Less than 4 kilometers ahead, the fierce battlefield continued to devour the lives of soldiers on both sides like a terrible black hole.

Soon, two German fighter jets hovering over the battlefield obviously discovered this group of new forces preparing to join the battle. Their wings swung and dived, completely ignoring the bullets fired from the ground. Then, they rushed towards the Japanese army, with only a few shuttles, and no less than 30 Japanese soldiers fell in pools of blood immediately. However, except for the soldiers responsible for shooting at the air, the others continued to run and advance as if they had not seen German fighter jets at all.

After a while, several German fighter jets joined the ranks of blocking the Japanese reserve troops, including flexible and fast fighter jets, and dive bombers that threw bombs. They kept hovering in front of Yukito Zuo Teng, diving, strafing, and pulling up, but Zuo Teng stared at the battlefield without turning his eyes. Even if the wind brought by the German fighter jets made his collar and clothes swell, his body remained unmoved.

With the courage, perseverance and calmness of General Nogiki Hidian, this is what Zuoto has long been hoping for. Although hundreds and thousands of Japanese soldiers were being swept down by the dense firepower on the German positions, Zuoto firmly believes that victory belongs to only those warriors who have no place in the face of death, and none of his soldiers are cowards.

Moreover, if your division cannot recover the lost position before nightfall, the shame that follows will be even more terrifying than death.

Seeing another yellow wave approaching Pingli Town, Zuo Teng secretly shouted "Okay". As long as such a fierce oppressive attack continues, it is only a matter of time before the collapse of the German defense line. Although they have planes and cannons, the firepower on the positions is significantly weakening.

When the yellowish tide attack weakened, Zuo Teng ordered without hesitation:

"The 3rd Reserve Team, come on!"

Even German soldiers who have experienced battle formations have seen such a desperate enemy for the first time. Their simple positions are already covered with corpses of Japanese soldiers. The German army equipped with a large number of mg17 universal machine guns, mp24 submachine guns and 66 semi-automatic rifles have far surpassed the Japanese army in firepower. With the unsurprising air supremacy, the positions held by more than 2,000 German infantry killed more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers in half an afternoon, and every attack by the Japanese army would make this number jump once.

"Ammunition. Replenish the ammunition quickly!" A German major whose forehead was scratched by stones loudly greeted the soldiers behind. Although the engineering troops had already built five small and medium-sized pontoon bridges as fast as possible, and the other three large pontoon bridges were also being built nervously, the fierce battle still made the ammunition supply of the front-line troops unable to keep up. Seeing that the soldiers on the front-line positions were running out of ammunition again, it was no wonder that the major was so excited.

With the efforts of the logistics company, boxes of ammunition were finally transported to the front line of positions before the Japanese army's underground charge. The increase in the firepower density of the troops also meant an increase in consumption. Looking at the ammunition that was constantly transported, the major shook his head in dissatisfaction. He strided backwards to where he could see the river. The five floating bridges had been built were still operating normally, but the largest one had been occupied by several assault guns, and half of the remaining four were specifically transporting the wounded. There were only two left in the area where they could transport ammunition and soldiers.

The major was about to say something, and a whistling sound forced him to lie on the ground. After a while, a heavy shell landed more than ten meters away. The huge impact and a large number of shrapnel unceremoniously lifted off the already dilapidated roofs of several bungalows. The deadly sound waves made the ears of the people around him ring. Before the major could stand up, one after another, a group of German war eagles still hovering over Pingli Town quickly rushed towards the woods that emitted the flames. However, despite the efforts of the air force to suppress them.

The Japanese army was still able to launch a wave of shells before each charge, and the drop of heavy shells also indicates that the terrible meat grinder was activated again.

After the Japanese artillery was over, Japanese soldiers wearing yellow uniforms rushed up like ants. As the distance gradually approached, various weapons on the German positions began to show their power, especially those snipers who had been trained in snipers would not miss this great opportunity to increase their combat performance. Those Japanese officers holding battle knives were their first choice, followed by non-commissioned officers and machine gunners. In two wars in another world, German snipers were regarded by their opponents as demons on the battlefield.

When facing the Japanese army, the demons will not feel any mercy.

After the Japanese artillery fire stopped, Andres came again with a group of guards to an observational position about 400 meters away from the front line. On this position that had changed hands less than 5 hours, the so-called observational position was not a solid bunker made of thick reinforced concrete fortifications in the traditional sense, but a 2-meter-deep trench. Several binocular periscopes used for observation poked a small piece out of the trench. The crown prince of the German Empire watched the previous battles here. Although the equipment was very simple, for the surrounding group of officers and soldiers specially sent by the Klester Division, the crown prince should not have even a little accident.

Fortunately, the Japanese army on the opposite side did not know that the German crown prince was in this trench. Otherwise, Zuo Teng would definitely send all the reserve teams in one go. Even if he could only "shock" the German crown prince, it would be a great achievement.

Therefore, Yukito Zuoto was still persistent in sending batches of troops to charge, and fortunately, the German army came to take a fatal blow when it was exhausted. However, this tactic of position attack was destined to be huge. Despite the guidance of Nogi Hidyuki's brilliant thoughts, Zuo De began to worry about his more and more casualties. At this moment, the adjutant's report gave him hope.

"General, Lord Rimotomiya sent the 2nd Infantry Division of the Thai Army to reinforce. Now the Thai vanguard troops have arrived less than 5 kilometers accordingly!"

"How many people are there in the Thai army?" Zuo Teng quickly calculated.

"It is said that the basic staffing is 15,000, but the current staffing number is less than 80%!"

"121,000" Zuo Teng thought for a while, "Tell me what I said, please speed up and rush to the battlefield!"

"Yes!" Although he didn't understand very well when his commander became polite to the Thai army, the adjutant felt that Zuo Teng must have no good intentions.

Zuo Teng looked at his watch and said, "Also, let our troops rush again, and then rest on the spot for half an hour!"

"yes!"

Half an hour later, another Japanese attack ended in failure without surprise. However, this time, many German soldiers and officers felt that the Japanese attack had weakened and the number of corpses increased in front of the positions was only a hundred. So people began to speculate on the reason for this, was the Japanese army that had become the last of its strength, or was it because the German-Turkish joint expeditionary force had made a major breakthrough in other places?

Just as the German officers and soldiers, including Andres, were wondering about this subtle phenomenon, the reconnaissance planes hovering over the battlefield suddenly sent a report that a large number of Japanese troops were gathering at the attack and departing positions, with a number of thousands!

Due to the woods, the German officers and soldiers could not see the situation on the opposite Japanese position from the position, but the reconnaissance plane's report was correct, and it was very likely that it was the general attack of the Japanese army. So the loud voice shouted again:

"The 3rd Company goes to the back to help transport ammunition. We must store as much ammunition as possible before the Japanese attack! Also, be careful about Japanese shells, mom! Move quickly!"

Not far away, Andres obviously heard the major's shout. Although the language was a little vulgar, the feeling of the battlefield was even more fulfilling. Unfortunately, the officer ordered to escort him to the back of the position to invite him to the back of the position to prevent artillery bunkers. Just as he was about to enter the bunker, Andres saw a large group of silver-gray fighter jets flying from the east, which should be in the size of a brigade!

In fact, this group of fighters was just the prelude to the upcoming war. In the next half hour, four consecutive Vulture II dive bombers flew to Pingli Town. During this period, a Junx-Henkel I fighter squadron, a Messer Schmitt-training fighter squadron and an elite Messer Schmitt-training fighter squadron came. Such a fierce air strike was far beyond the Japanese estimates. Just now, the Thai army that had just gathered to act as cannon fodder quickly collapsed before they even stepped onto the battlefield. Although the Japanese army's supervisory team fired at the fleeing allies without hesitation, most of the soldiers in the Thai Army's 2nd Infantry Division still fled the battlefield that did not belong to them with extremely agile skills.

After a rough count, Major General Zuoto Yukito found that not only did he capture the "cannon fodder" temporarily left, but his troops suffered heavy losses in the air strikes. When the last batch of German fighter jets left, only more than 3,000 people were able to join the battle, many of which were lightly wounded people who returned to the combat troops after emergency treatment!

Zuo Teng looked at the blue sky with white clouds floating in despair. It was once the dream of mankind, but when the dream became a reality, the clouds of war easily made it a new place of killing.

The decision-making power of war finally quietly moved from the ground.

Look at the embarrassed soldiers in front of you. Think of Rimoto's warning at the end of the meeting. Zuoto silently pulled out his combat knife and pointed the blade at the German position. More and more German soldiers and combat vehicles were strengthening the defense there. Despite this, more than 3,000 Japanese officers and soldiers set out with their Bushido spirit.

Silently, Zuo Teng knelt on the green grass, untied her clothes, exposed her belly, and wiped her sword with a white handkerchief. When the dense guns and cannons sounded at the moment, he was also moving towards death step by step.

There were two hours before the sun set, and Pingri Town temporarily quieted down. In the day that was about to pass, two armies from outside Myanmar fought fiercely here. The two sides simply exchanged their offensive and defensive roles once, and Qingyu's life here exceeded 20,000.

Under the gaze of the German Crown Prince, the German Expeditionary Force began to continuously cross the Mu River from here. Although the Japanese army still guarded a large number of defense points in the Mu River Basin, the destroyed Zuo Teng 31st Division caused the Japanese counterattack plan to be severely hit, and even the "Malay Tiger" who has always been known for its calmness and calmness could not sit still.

"Did he think that death can be punished if he dies? Bastard! Bastard!" Rimoto gritted his teeth and looked furious, but no matter how angry he was, he could not compete with a dead man. After calming down, he quickly ordered the other two divisions near the 31st Division's defense zone, the 29th Division commanded by Kuramura Ridao and the 30th Division commanded by Kobayashi Asazaburo, each to draw troops to counterattack the German army crossing the river, and the 3rd and 4th Infantry Divisions of the Thai Army who came from afar were also incorporated into the counterattack force in advance.

Soon, teams of Japanese soldiers set out from their hiding forest camp. They were originally going to use night cover to play their melee advantages, and they had to risk the attack of the German Air Force. However, when they arrived near the town of Peakli, tens of thousands of German troops and some tanks and armored vehicles had already been deployed in advance. This fierce battle attracted more and more troops from both sides. The German army used this breakthrough to send a large number of support troops across the Mu River. In order to curb the German advancement, the Japanese army sent reserve troops to the battlefield in advance. A small Myanmar town that was too ordinary to be more ordinary became the main battlefield for the confrontation between the two armies. Soldiers from Germany, Japan, Turkey, and Thailand continued to enter this battlefield like a meat grinder.

When night really fell, all Japanese troops launched counterattacks as promised, but the daytime battle situation had already weakened the Japanese counterattack power to a level that was insufficient to change the situation.

That night, as three German airborne regiments landed in batches to the Japanese hinterland east of Mandalay, Rimoto's counterattack plan completely miscarried. The "Malay Tiger" led tens of thousands of remaining troops to Thailand two days later, and then retreated to the Malay Peninsula in a mess.

Li Ben Palace, who returned to Malaysia, did not become a tiger and returned to the forest. Just three days later, the German-Turkish expeditionary force entered Thailand. This only independent country in Southeast Asia immediately carried out a "monarchical mutiny". The pro-Japanese generals were arrested. The control of the army of the Kingdom of Thailand immediately fell into the hands of the royalists. On the one hand, the Thais announced the abolition of the Japan-Thailand Alliance Treaty, and on the other hand, they actively negotiated a ceasefire with the German government. In this case, Germany quickly accepted the Thai government's decision to "know affairs" and signed a mutual aid treaty with it.

After conquering Myanmar, the German-Turkish joint expeditionary force finally opened the road to China. The army of the Nanjing government of China successfully defeated the southwestern warlords as expected, waiting for the road on the China-Myanmar border to be rebuilt. The new artery on the road will connect Germany's base in Southeast Asia and Jiaozhou Bay in the Far East, and Qingdao will no longer be the German stronghold in the far east.
