Chapter seven hundred and twenty second like a mosquito

That morning, the 162nd Regiment of the Huang Family Army stationed in the British Army, and a division of the army, launched an attack on the 66th Division of the Japanese Army.

They first annihilated an infantry squadron on the periphery of the Japanese army, and then fought fiercely with Japanese reinforcements, and the battle lasted for an hour. The British and the British army could not resist the Japanese attack and began to retreat.

The Japanese army chased after him and continued to chase for 15 kilometers. Gao Jiu led the main force of the coalition forces to ambush ahead. As long as the Japanese army advances another 5 kilometers, they can eat the Japanese army.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army stopped advancing.

After receiving the telegram, Gao Jiu ordered the troops who were luring the enemy to continue harassing the Japanese army, hoping to lure them into the ambush circle.

What I didn't expect was that the Japanese were not fooled. They left a small group of troops to fight and block, and the main force actually retreated.

Gao Jiu was puzzled. The Japanese always looked down on the British and Yin army. They always chased and fought hard. What happened today?

The British and the Japanese army surrounded a squadron of the Japanese army that was blocking, hoping that the main Japanese army would return and rescue them.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese were determined to retreat very firmly. Even the Japanese troops in this squadron did not want them, so they ran back to their original garrison and immediately began to build a defensive position.

It's really a weird thing. Gao Jiu, Guo Hengming, Tian Chuan and the British generals were a little confused about the actions of the Japanese.

Soon a news came, and Gao Jiu and others finally figured out what the problem was.

It turned out that on this morning, a squad of the Taohuashan guerrillas was ordered to reconnaise the enemy situation. Their purpose was to find a way to encircle the Japanese army.

When they arrived at the Maradou Valley, they saw the vegetation on the mountain ahead. Li Mingwei, the guerrilla squad leader, was worried that he would be ambushed by the Japanese here, so he sent two scouts to search and advance 50 meters apart, and the rest followed 300 meters to avoid the main force being damaged when attacked.

The two special forces members searched forward very carefully and found no situation, so they waved to let the players behind them follow.

The guerrilla squad leader Li Mingwei saw that there was nothing ahead, so he led the team to follow him.

Suddenly, fierce gunfire sounded on the hillside, and two special forces members were shot and fell to the ground.

When Li Mingwei and others saw that they were ambushed, they immediately looked for hidden objects and launched a counterattack against the enemy.

The attack on them was a Japanese infantry squad. They saw that there were few people in the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, so they opened fire and rushed down.

The enemy was condescending, and the terrain of the special forces was not favorable. Li Mingwei decisively led the guerrillas to retreat while fighting.

The members of the Taohuashan Special Forces were suitable for mountain combat. Soon after, they got rid of the enemy's pursuit, but during the battle, three special forces members died and their bodies remained there.

The Japanese army rushed down the valley and inspected the bodies of the attackers. They found that although the attackers were wearing the uniforms of the Indu army, their faces were Chinese.

When I saw the Chinese here, the Japanese squad leader felt it was unusual, so he sent someone to report to his superiors.

Li Mingwei and others lost three special forces members and felt very upset. He formed two combat teams and prepared to return and take revenge on the Japanese infantry team.

After a fierce battle, they annihilated at least 30 Japanese troops and avenged their dead comrades.

Then they reported the situation to their superiors.

Gao Jiu guessed that the Japanese probably discovered that the special forces members were Chinese, and guessed that it was Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain guerrillas who came to Yindu.

Gao Jiu’s guess is right, it is indeed because of this.

After receiving the report, the Japanese commanders reported the situation to the top step by step, and finally the information was transmitted to the 16th Army Command of the Japanese Army.

When Commander Fumio Kishida attacked Yindu, the thing he was most worried about was Gao Jiu's intervention, because he knew that both the British and Yindu troops were close to Gao Jiu and obtained weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies from Gao Jiu. When they discovered these Chinese people, they learned that these Chinese people were very powerful and their combat effectiveness was significantly better than that of ordinary Yindu troops.

From this point of view, it can basically be guessed that they are part of the famous Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

Since the Taohua Mountain guerrillas appeared in Yindu, Gao Jiu is also likely to come here.

The British and Yin Army have been suppressed and beaten by the Japanese army, but today they take the initiative to attack the Japanese 66th Division. This behavior is a bit unusual alone. If the Taohua Mountain guerrillas appear in Yindu, it would be easy to understand, which means that these British and Yin Army are fearless, and Gao Jiu must be behind them.

After thinking of this, Fumio Kishida immediately ordered the 66th Division to stop chasing, return to his original garrison, and build defensive fortifications on the spot.

Soon after, Kishida Fumio changed his mind and ordered the 66th Division to give up its original plan and move closer to the 16th Army headquarters stationed on the beach to avoid being wiped out by Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu and others were discussing the next plan. After receiving the report from the front, they couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

The main force of the Japanese army has shrunk together, and this battle will be difficult to fight.

Not only that, these Japanese troops have even shrunk to the oil-producing area, which is even more difficult to deal with.

The Japanese army's retreat gave up a large number of occupied lands, which was a good thing for Sir Henry and others, but for Gao Jiu, he did not take any advantage. Oil was still controlled by the Japanese. In order to fight this battle, he took out a lot of weapons, ammunition and other materials, and could not take back the oil-producing area, so he would lose a lot of losses.

Gao Jiu discussed the next countermeasures with the generals of the coalition forces, and everyone felt that this battle was not easy to fight. The main forces of the Japanese army gathered together. If the main forces of the coalition forces took the initiative to attack, the main forces of the Japanese army suddenly counterattacked. With the quality of the coalition forces, they were no match for the Japanese army at all and would probably suffer significant losses.

Gao Jiu thought about it carefully and said, "Since the Japanese army cannot be divided and annihilated one by one, it is not impossible for them to do so.

Since the main Japanese forces gathered together, the areas they controlled were limited. My opinion is to organize small groups of guerrillas to harass the Japanese army, so that they could not be at peace day and night, and force them to come out to fight. Our main forces lie in the surrounding areas and make plans after weakening the strength of the Japanese army."

Sir Henry and the British Governor to Myanmar had no good idea. As for how to carry out guerrilla warfare, they couldn't give any advice, so they asked Gao Jiu to arrange it.

Gao Jiu decided to draw 100 strong combat power companies from the British and Indian troops, and led by Taohuashan special forces to find various opportunities to launch attacks on the Japanese army. The main force is ready to annihilate the Japanese troops at any time.

Guo Hengming was responsible for the entire attack on the Japanese army. He summoned the heads of 100 companies and explained guerrilla tactics to them. He stipulated that every three companies should be a combat unit, and each company was dispatched to attack the Japanese army at a time. The remaining two companies followed the rear of the company. If the Japanese army launched a counterattack, they would be responsible for covering the company's retreat.

In order to launch an attack on the Japanese army, Guo Hengming equipped each of the 100 companies with six mortars, one heavy machine gun, twenty light machine guns, and all the rest of the personnel were equipped with submachine guns. Each regiment's firepower could completely defeat the two infantry squadrons of the Japanese army.

Not long after, Guo Hengming commanded these combat units to launch an attack on the Japanese army.

That night, Guo Hengming personally led a combat unit to the periphery of the defense zone of the 66th Division of the Japanese Army.

During the day, they were optimistic about the target they were going to attack at night. When night fell, Guo Hengming sent one of the companies to touch the periphery of the Japanese defensive positions.

The British company commander followed the tactics taught by Guo Hengming and first ordered several soldiers to shoot at the Japanese.

After the Japanese army was attacked, they immediately launched a fire counterattack. The soldiers had already set up mortars. They aimed at the place where the Japanese muzzles flashed. Each cannon fired four mortar shells in a row. The remaining officers and soldiers also used light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns to shoot at the Japanese army in a section, and then quickly left the battle.

The Japanese army lost at least twenty people during this fire attack. They were very angry, but they were so dark outside that they did not dare to come out rashly to retaliate.

The British officers and soldiers were all very excited after they tasted the sweetness. Soon after, they quietly touched the Japanese position, and used the same tactics to launch a firepower attack on the Japanese army, killing at least a dozen Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese were very fierce at heart, so they were not willing to suffer this loss, so they dispatched an infantry squadron and rushed towards the attacker.

The British officers and soldiers quickly evacuated. When the Japanese army chased after him, the two British companies that had already ambushed around opened fire on the Japanese army and directly killed half of the Japanese squadron.

The Japanese army had to retreat in a hurry.

After tonight's battle, the British officers and soldiers knew how to launch guerrilla warfare. They passed on their experience in this battle to other British troops, and various British combat units launched a series of attacks on the Japanese army.

Under the leadership of Taohuashan guerrillas, the Myanmar army and the Indu army also adopted the same tactics and continued to harass the Japanese army.

At the beginning, all combat units launched attacks on the Japanese army at night. With the increasing combat experience, they were not idle during the day and launched attacks on the Japanese army.

The attacks on the Japanese army by coalition forces caused heavy losses to the Japanese army. Although each combat unit's attack could only cause a small number of Japanese casualties, there were about 100 attacks this day, and the Japanese army lost more than 5,000 people in just a few days. Such a huge loss was really unbearable for the Japanese army.

The grassroots commanders of the Japanese army were really not sure what to do by these guerrillas, so they asked the commander for tactical guidance.

Kishida Fumio is now completely sure that Gao Jiu himself is the one who commands the coalition forces to fight. Only Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas are as annoying as mosquitoes. They suck your blood at night, but you can't hit him. This feeling is really uncomfortable.

After careful consideration, Fumio Kishida decided to organize more than one brigade of mobile troops at the forefront. When encountering enemy attacks, he suddenly attacks with an absolute advantage to eliminate the attackers.

In the evening of that day, the Japanese army was attacked by small troops of the Yin army. They had been guarding against this move. After discovering that they were attacked, they immediately used the artillery troops that had been prepared to bombard the enemy, and then directly dispatched an infantry brigade to rush out.

The officers and soldiers of the army had long been guarding against the enemy's move, and after they launched an attack, they immediately began to retreat.

Although the enemy's artillery fire was fierce, it only caused a small number of casualties from soldiers. After the Japanese infantry brigade chased out, the other two companies that had already ambushed launched a blocking attack and killed many enemies.

When the Japanese army set out to launch an attack, the three armies of the combat unit, alternately covered and quickly evacuated.

The Japanese army was constantly blocked, and the soldiers were damaged and generals were lost. Soon after, they lost their traces of the army.

In this battle, the Japanese army lost nearly 300 people, and basically got nothing, so they had to retreat to their own formation.

On their way back, the roar of machine guns suddenly came. In the dense bushes, two light machine guns fired violently at the Japanese army, killing more than 20 Japanese soldiers on the spot.

When the Japanese army launched a counterattack against the attackers, the people had already boarded war horses and fled.

Famous teachers produce great disciples. Under the teachings of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, the tactical level of the British army, the Burmese army and the Burmese army has been greatly improved.

After a corps of the Myanmar army launched an attack on the Japanese army, it began to retreat.

The Japanese army chased after the brigade, and the Japanese army was already scared of being beaten. They dispatched two infantry brigades at one time, with a total of 2,000 troops. They were determined to destroy these hateful attackers.

Seeing the Burmese people fleeing, they chased them reluctantly.

Unexpectedly, they clearly saw the Burmese people running over the grass in front, and they naturally followed them.

But it is strange that there is no problem when the Burmese people pass by here, but when the Japanese army passes by, many Japanese officers and soldiers step on landmines and are blown upside down.

It turned out that the officers and soldiers of the Myanmar army knew that after they attacked the Japanese army, the Japanese army would come out to pursue them, so they buried a large number of landmines in the grass in advance. They made secret codes on the ground in advance. When they retreated, the people behind followed the steps of the people in front and avoided the landmines.
