Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Now that the Chinese army's defense line on the Salween River is on the verge of collapse, I implore your Excellency, Commander, to immediately step up efforts to cross the river and immediately order the Guards Division to go to the west bank to participate in the encirclement and annihilation campaign against the Chinese army! "

Shojiro Iida frowned slightly, and asked in a cold voice, "Siege and annihilation? Do you think that with the imperial soldiers carrying light weapons, nearly [-] Chinese elite troops can be wiped out in one go without heavy fire support and sufficient supplies?"

"this!"

Sakurai Shozo was taken aback. In fact, he didn't know that what he said just now was a bit aggressive and over-inflated, but now he is like a gambler with all his wealth, and he has no other choice.

Shojiro Iida said in a deep voice: "Since the Empire of Japan and the United States have achieved a series of brilliant victories, the Empire of Japan is indeed invincible. Even the British and Americans are no match at all!"

"The soldiers and civilians of the empire have been greatly encouraged and motivated. The empire has become more united and stronger than ever before, and the Yamato nation has become more confident than ever before. But this also creates a hidden danger of great success!"

After saying a few words of cloud and mist, Shojiro Iida looked at Shozo Sakurai and shook his head and said: "Today, we are still a little too hasty, so that it is difficult to ride a tiger now!"

"Ah? Could it be that Your Excellency, Commander, wants to retire?"

Hearing that Iida Shojiro's tone was wrong, Sakurai Shozo suddenly said in his heart: "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you mean?"

Shozo Sakurai was so nervous that he looked at Shojiro Iida eagerly. If he didn't continue to send troops across the river, but instead decided to let the imperial soldiers on the west bank fend for themselves, it would be completely bad luck!

Chapter 857

"Sakurai-kun, I have to tell you some bad news. So far, two destroyers and a cruiser of the Empire have been sunk in Motama Bay!"

Shojiro Iida pointed on the map with his hand and said: "Yang Fan has built an extremely powerful coastal defense line, fortress forts, and even torpedo launchers in Motama Bay!

Not only was the imperial navy unable to approach and bombard, but it also had no way to forcibly break through the mouth of the Salween River as planned to assist us in our offensive and heavy equipment transportation! "

"In addition, the Imperial Air Force is now doing its best. All the combat aircraft of the Third Flying Division have come out to cooperate with all their strength, and launched an unprecedented air decisive battle with the Huaxia Air Force!

But so far, the Huaxia Air Force is still stubbornly resisting, and the Imperial Air Force has not yet fully controlled the air supremacy on the battlefield! "

After a pause, Shojiro Iida said with a dark face:

"Now the imperial army's sea and air advantages cannot be fully utilized, and it is difficult for our 15th Army to take down the defense lines of Moulmein and Motama City in a short period of time. This situation is very unfavorable to the imperial army!"

"what!"

Shozo Sakurai's heart sank suddenly. How could he not understand what Shojiro Iida meant when he heard this? He clearly wanted to stop the loss in time and not increase the number of troops on the West Bank, and let the more than [-] imperial soldiers on the West Bank who were fighting bloody battles Fend for itself!

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

Shozo Sakurai suppressed the resentment and panic in his heart, looked at Shojiro Iida with pleading eyes and said:

"Wouldn't this be a failure? Wouldn't this cause 1 imperial soldiers and 3000 Burmese friendly troops to die in vain?

Moreover, the defense line of the Chinese army on the other side has almost collapsed. As long as we increase our offensive strength, we will definitely be able to completely break the fighting will of the Chinese army!

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, as long as..."

Now the 33rd Division only has second-line troops at all levels of headquarters, artillery, supplies, cavalry, communications, health and so on. The 12 infantry brigades fighting on the front line have all crossed the river.

In other words, the 33rd Division has overwhelmed all front-line combat infantry. If they lose all their money, the 33rd Division will be abolished directly!

Therefore, Shozo Sakurai is full of desire to survive, and he is not willing to give up treatment like this anyway, and let the nearly ten thousand imperial soldiers on the other side fend for themselves!

"Enough! Sakurai, as a graduate of the saber team, don't you even have basic judgment and decisiveness?

Do you want the entire 15th Army to be buried with your 33rd Division?Don't you know that the Huaxia army on the other side is not an ordinary Huaxia national army at all, but a Guangxi army wolf soldier known for its good fighting and vicious fighting? "

Shojiro Iida looked at Shozo Sakurai coldly, and hummed in a cold tone:

"Even if we can now send more infantry to the West Bank to participate in the battle, without the vital support of the sea and air, without heavy equipment and heavy firepower, and without sufficient supplies, there will only be one ending!

And such unnecessary consumption is of no significance to the entire Burma war!Don't be discouraged and fight, as a senior general of the empire, you must learn to control your emotions! "

Shojiro Iida's tone was very calm and cold-blooded. Even if the total number of troops invested was as high as 1.5, it seemed to him just a series of cold numbers, not 1.5 fresh lives.

"It's over, it's really over now!"

Sakurai Sho Sannao buzzed, his eyes filled with despair and regret.

As Shojiro Iida said before, since the Japanese Empire won a big victory in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and started to go berserk, everyone in Japan has been greatly encouraged and become more confident and arrogant than ever before!

Sakurai Shozo is a serious infantry general who was born in a professional class. He is quite accomplished in military command, ruthless, courageous and motivated!

It's just that the 15th Army misjudged the situation from the very beginning, underestimating Yang Fan's air defense and coastal defense capabilities, and underestimating the Gui Army's will to resist and combat effectiveness!

Haruki Isayama, chief of staff of the 15th Army, said: "Sakurai-san, how could the imperial soldiers die in vain? Their heroic killing of the enemy has already caused serious casualties and morale blows to the Chinese army!

Moreover, we have not completely abandoned them now. The 55th Division, the [-]st Brigade of the Guards Division, and the Imperial Navy Task Force are doing their best to attack Mawlamyine.

As long as the estuary of the Salween River is smashed open, the imperial fleet will rush to rescue the imperial soldiers who are fighting bloody battles on the west bank as quickly as possible! "

"..."

Sakurai Sho San's eyelids turned white, he really has nothing to say, he is not a three-year-old child, how can he not hear that Haruki Isayama's words are basically useless nonsense?

But knowing what to do, although there are more than 1 special forces in hand, Sakurai Shozo can't send artillery, logistics, cavalry, signal soldiers, engineers, and medical soldiers to die, right?

"That's right, before breaking through the iron triangle defense line of Bilu Island, Motama City and Moulmein, we must not send a single soldier to the west bank!"

Iida Shojiro patted the board without hesitation, and then said to Shozo Sakurai with a fierce look in his eyes:

"Sakurai immediately sent power to the imperial soldiers on the west bank, telling them that they must fight the Chinese army to the end, occupy and hold their positions, and the imperial navy is about to break through the mouth of the Salween River!

The Great Japanese Imperial Guard Division will soon launch a devastating blow to the West Bank Huaxia Army with the assistance of the Imperial Navy!

The Empire of Japan will never forget, for the sake of the Yamato nation, for His Majesty the Emperor, and for the Imperial Warriors of the Empire of Japan! "

"Hay!"

The province of Sakurai nodded heavily, and for now, it can only encourage those pawns who cross the river mentally, let them exert their full potential and residual heat, and kill as many Chinese troops as possible!

Bilu Island!

Bilu Island is located on the east side of Motama Bay, at the mouth of the Salween River, facing Motama Port and Mawlamyine Port, with a total area of ​​more than 300 square kilometers.

Most of the island is a plain formed by impact, while the central part of the island is a piece of hills, and the highest altitude is more than 100 meters.

The main position of the 1st Division, 2nd Brigade, and 5th Regiment of the Huben Expeditionary Army was set up in this hilly area, forming an iron triangle with the Motama and Mawlamyine defense lines, and firmly locked the Salween River Estuary.

Compared with the seaside fortress in Yecheng, although the scale of the Bilu Island fortress is much smaller, although the sparrow is small and complete, its defense system is more complete and stronger.

From seven or eight o'clock this morning, Bilu Island began to be bombarded by Devil bombers and naval fleets one after another. The dense vegetation around the fortress was devastated, and it was reduced to ashes during the burning and shattered into pieces during the bombing!

However, the fortress of Bilu Island, built on the mountain, stands proudly. More than 5 officers and soldiers of the 1500th Regiment still stick to the position, and launched rounds of life-and-death battles with the Japanese army.

Chapter 858 Finally Delivered

At around 33 o'clock in the morning, the 31rd Division and the 6st Army were in full contact with each other, and [-] or [-] people from both sides engaged in super-large-scale hand-to-hand combat on the defense line along the river that was more than ten kilometers long.

Seeing the continuous flow of Chinese reinforcements to the melee battlefield, the devils were completely anxious, and the commander Shojiro Iida repeatedly urged the Japanese Navy Task Force to step up its offensive.

So the Japanese naval fleet boldly approached and bombarded the fleet, and dispatched more than 1000 marines to carry out landing operations. The intensity of the battle on Bilu Island instantly increased by several levels.

In order to break through the mouth of the Salween River before the entire army of the 33rd Division crossing the river was annihilated, the Japanese naval fleet also fought hard against the fortress artillery and coastal defense artillery of Bilu Island and Motama City.

The large-caliber naval guns sprayed wildly without money, wishing to directly bomb the fortress on Bilu Island that didn't look majestic!

Boom boom boom, earth-shattering explosions exploded one after another, and the fortress of Bilu Island, which had been bombed beyond recognition, was completely turned into a barren land, revealing countless shockingly huge craters.

With raging fire and billowing smoke, the originally beautiful Bilu Island has completely turned into a burning "volcano", a bloody hell on earth.

After the bombardment ended, several landing craft broke away from the naval fleet and headed straight for Bilu Island not far away.

After a while, the Devil landing craft rushed to the shore of Bilu Island and sank directly into the soft mud.

"Yoxi! Get off the boat!"

"Matsushita-kun, don't be afraid, God Amaterasu will bless the warriors of the empire!"

"Ono-kun, hold the gun barrel and don't fall into the water!"

"Hurry up! Get ready to fight!"

"From now on, everyone cheer up and shoot without hesitation if they find anything abnormal!"

"Keep in formation, don't panic, stay on high alert, and be ready to shoot!"

After reaching the shore, the devil soldiers started to get busy, quickly jumped off the landing craft, stepped on the soft mud, and then rushed forward quickly with one foot deep and one shallow foot.

"Yoxi! With such an intensity of bombing, even if the Chinese army is made of steel, it will be burned into a puddle of molten steel!"

The captain of the Japanese Marine Corps, Takashi Okura, stood on the cabin, picked up the binoculars and looked forward, only to see that the hills several kilometers away were completely engulfed in flames, and everything was shrouded in boundless billowing smoke. middle.

At a glance, there is no fortress there, it is an erupting active volcano. Even if it is several kilometers away, Takashi Okura can imagine the death scene of stumped limbs and arms, corpses like coke, and poisonous smoke. .

The little devil moved very quickly, and it only took more than 20 minutes for more than a thousand people to complete the landing and assembly, and then advance towards the fortress of Bilu Island due north with the squadron as a unit.

"Report! The devil marines have landed on the southern beach of Bilu Island, with a strength of about 1000 people!"

"Report! The devil's vanguard has arrived 1 kilometers away from our army's No. 3 position! Request shelling!"

"Report!……"

Although many large-caliber forts have been built on Bilu Island, with a range of more than 30 kilometers, they have fought many battles with the Devils fleet before, sinking two Devils destroyers and wounding several Devils warships!

Especially in combination with heavy firepower such as fort artillery and coastal defense artillery in Motama City, Mawlamyine and other places.It posed a great threat to the Japanese fleet, making the Japanese fleet dare not get too close to the coastline for a long time.

But later, the Devils dispatched a large number of bombers, and the Devils fleet also became ruthless, approaching and bombarding at any cost, causing great damage to the fortress of Bilu Island Fortress.

In particular, the devils used a large number of sulfur bombs, which ignited the vegetation around the fortress and released a large amount of poisonous sulfur smoke, which not only caused a lot of casualties to the officers and soldiers of the Huben Army, but also seriously interfered with the observation field of view.

It wasn't until half an hour after the little devil landed on Bilu Island that the observation post of the Huben Army's first line of defense discovered the devil's exact whereabouts through the gradually thinning smoke.

Highland 127 of Bilu Island, the headquarters of the 5th Regiment of the Huben Expeditionary Army, is also the commanding height of Bilu Island.

"Damn, the little devil has finally dispatched troops, and now he can finally start killing!"

"Yeah! The devil fleet is too slippery, always running around in the distance, it's better to kill the little devils that come to your door!"

"Pass my order! All the troops are ready to fight, bring the little devils closer before fighting, lest these bastard bastards shrink back after being addicted!"

Hearing that the devil soldiers had landed on Bilu Island and had touched 3 kilometers from the first line of defense, Hao Cheng, head of the 5th regiment, and Li Binkai, chief of staff, not only did not feel scared, but were full of excitement.

After bombarding the Devils fleet for two or three hours, one or two hundred shells were fired back and forth, and two small-tonnage destroyers were killed. Hao Cheng has long been dissatisfied with his desires, and he just feels that such a tickle makes people feel uncomfortable. !

Now that the meat scene is finally on the stage, more than 1000 devil marines have come to storm the fortress, there is no reason for Hao Cheng and Li Bin to be unhappy!

"Old Li! Let's go, let's go out to get some fresh air and see where the little devils are, haha!"

After finishing speaking, Hao Cheng excitedly took off a gas mask from the stone wall, put it on, and pushed open a wooden door to the stone ladder not far away!

In three or two steps, Hao Cheng got out of the underground fortress and came to the surface of the mountain. Only then did Hao Cheng realize that the situation outside was even worse than he had imagined. Choking smoke.

Fortunately, all members of the Huben Army were equipped with anti-virus and protective equipment. Otherwise, in this smoky environment, let alone beating little devils, the pervasive poisonous smoke alone would choke people to death!

"Tuanzao! Why are you here!"

"Group seat!"

Battalion Commander Wu Chuan and others were standing at the observation port of the bunker looking at the Japanese troops in the distance, when they suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps behind them, and immediately turned their heads to look.

"Why can't I come?"

Hao Cheng quickly walked into the reinforced concrete blockhouse in front, and then asked with a smile: "Commander Wu, are you all okay?"

Wu Chuan quickly replied: "Reporting to the delegation, everything is fine! Although the devils fired heavily, set fires and prevented poisonous smoke, we were well prepared and the casualties were not too great!

The injured brothers have been properly treated, and the brothers who can still fight are ready to fight. As long as the devils dare to come, we will definitely let these dogs come and go! "

"Okay! Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time, today is a great time for us to make contributions and protect our family and country!"

Hao Cheng nodded his head full of pride, but at this moment, there was a dull hum of a motor in the distant sky.

Chapter 859 K3 Heavy Artillery

"No way! It's this time, and the little devil's bomber is still coming? Are you afraid of bombing their own people?"

He heard a motor humming from the sky in the distance, Wu Chuan followed the sound, and saw dozens of small black spots flying from the northeast.

Looking at the posture and position, Hao Cheng could tell that this must be the Devils bomber fleet, not the Huben Army Flying Tigers fleet returning.

Hao Cheng shook his head and pointed with his finger: "No, these ghost planes are not coming for us, but for Fortress Moulmein!

The defense system of the Mawlamyine Fortress is extremely powerful, more than three times larger than ours. The 20-plus heavy artillery pieces alone are enough to block the entire mouth of Motama Bay, which can not only pose a fatal threat to the Devils fleet, but also to the Devils The army is also full of lethality!

If the devil wants to open the mouth of the Salween River, the Moulmein Fortress must be attacked and the first place to attack, otherwise everything will be in vain! "

Just as Hao Cheng analyzed, the Devil bombers flew over the Mulmeyen Fortress in one or two minutes, and then they saw dense black spots falling in the sky.

Boom boom boom, after a while, I saw clusters of dazzling flames blooming on the mountain of Mawlamyine Fortress, followed by clusters of thick smoke rising into the sky.
