I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War
Chapter 682: Defense of Holy Spear City
In Qingdao, four mighty warships are training in Jiaozhou Bay. The navy had been well trained long ago. After boarding the ship, everyone took their positions and could even engage in battle immediately. People spontaneously came to the beach to join in the fun. Whenever the whistle sounded, there would always be cheers.
Aunt Wang, who has the best relationship with Li Ergou, also came. She was in good health and came a long way with her grandson. Her grandson had already gone to the beach to play with his friends. Her daughter-in-law watched her grandson from afar and stopped him in time when he got close to the sea. Her son Wang Mingliang stood beside her, looking at the warships in the sea with envy on his face.
"Mom, do you think brother Ergou is on the ship?"
"Probably not. Your brother Ergou and your aunt may have gone far away."
Wang Mingliang looked at the warship in silence, "Brother Ergou, do you have such a big warship? Are you also a high-ranking official?"
In Holy Spear City, Li Ergou, who was on the mind of Wang Jianiang and his wife, was arranging tactics. The Japanese army ended the battle in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Towers and turned around to retaliate against Holy Spear City. They lost a regiment in Banda City last time, and this time they learned their lesson and would not go there. They directly sent two divisions of troops to attack from the east and west of Xiachi and Meilun.
The commander of the Japanese army in the Southeast Asia expedition, Shojiro Iijima, was a little too excited. He received one reprimand after another from the headquarters. Since the landing in Rangoon, they had lost more than 40,000 troops. The Battle of Yenangyaung had become an international joke. Not only did they lose many soldiers, but they also let the duck that was in their mouth fly away. In addition to the loss of troops, the loss of hundreds of tons of munitions made the country's already depleted resources even worse. The headquarters had to reprimand while adjusting and borrowing from other battlefields. The difficulty now was that there were plenty of artillery but almost no shells.
"General, the mysterious team has entered the Chanbang Plateau. The 58th Brigade suffered heavy losses during the pursuit, with a loss of 70% of its troops. Ask whether we should continue the pursuit. In addition, the 39th Division and the 47th Division have not found anything in the Pegu Mountains, and the non-combat casualties have exceeded 10%. Request tactical guidance."
Shojiro Iijima had a gloomy face, he always felt that there was some connection between this mysterious army and the Holy Spear City. There was no reason, it was just his feeling, because this mysterious army had lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and this did not include the indirect losses caused by their destruction of arms.
"Have the supplies and arms of the retreating British army been thoroughly investigated?"
"Your Excellency the General, it seems that the Japanese have not transported their weapons and equipment back to the rear. Our reconnaissance team has learned about some local people, and they seem to have been intercepted by unknown armed forces. According to their descriptions, the armed personnel are somewhat similar to our Imperial Japanese Army."
"Baga! Stupid pig!"
"Hi"!
Shojiro Iijima felt like he was about to explode with anger. This group of armed men were so hateful that they were even more hateful than the Holy Spear Regiment. If the Shan Gang were not too dangerous on the plateau, he really wanted to go in and annihilate them first.
"Order the divisions searching the mountains and the pursuing divisions to retreat! The next step is to focus on protecting the oil fields and factories. In addition, we are now able to threaten China's rear areas. The headquarters asked us to look for opportunities to cross the Nujiang River and go directly to Sichuan and Chongqing."
The defensive measures of the small towns of Meilun and Xiachi were dismantled, and only a few natives were left in the two places. They had heard about the tragedy in Banda City, and as soon as the Japanese army landed, they all ran into the deep mountains and forests.
On November 11, the Japanese army landed and occupied two small seaside towns. There was no resistance as expected, and the two Type B divisions quickly broke inward, preparing to take over the Holy Lance City in one day and end the Holy Lance Regiment's rule on Yachi Island.
All the firepower on both sides of the cement road 20 kilometers away from the small town of Meilun was camouflaged. If the naval guns could fire over, it might pose a threat to the permanent offensive. As for those mountain artillery and mortars, they were just a tickle.
Ding San was directing his soldiers to bury thousands of anti-personnel mines in the rain forest beside the road, waiting for the panicked Japanese to step in and trample them.
News came from the scouts ahead that the Japanese Army's Type B Division 42nd Division carried mountain cannons and over mortars, with a strength of about . The Holy Lance Regiment was confident that they could stop them at the foot of the hillside, but if they wanted to inflict large-scale casualties, they would need to block their retreat and seal off their two flanks. The best means were these strange-shaped anti-personnel mines, which could be used without any pressure in this area.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army arrived. A squadron of devils in the front was responsible for searching and guarding. After going up the hillside, they did not find anything unusual. The large Japanese force occupied the entire road. The ten-meter-wide concrete road was densely packed with them. From time to time, devils with Type 99 light machine guns would fire at the green bushes on both sides. They looked very vigilant.
The Japanese search squadron sent out flag signals and continued searching forward. The firing holes in the bunkers on the high ground on both sides lit up, and black gun barrels stretched out one after another.
The Holy Lance soldiers who were responsible for intercepting were ready. There were mines everywhere along the road, and the road was all concrete, which was not suitable for burying mines. They just had to remove the camouflage of the bunker.
The last baggage train of the Japanese army had just passed more than 500 meters when the soldiers of the Holy Spear Regiment who were responsible for intercepting them gave a signal.
call out!
A signal flare was launched into the sky, and the Japanese soldiers on the three-kilometer-long road couldn't help but look back. What was going on? They were all a little confused and a little panicked. The inexplicable signal flare must be a bad thing.
call out! Whoosh!
Countless flames flew across the azure sky, and when the Japanese heard the sharp whistling sound, the shells had already begun to explode.
boom! Boom boom boom!
Twenty-four 75 mountain guns, twenty-four 75 field guns, and more than two hundred mortars of various types, the shells almost indiscriminately covered the two-kilometer-long road.
While various types of artillery were firing, the machine gun holes in the semicircle surrounding the road in front also began firing. They were all large-caliber heavy machine guns with over-range firing range. Bullets flew all over the road, and the densely packed Japanese soldiers several hundred meters ahead didn't even have a chance to pounce on the sides of the road.
The Japanese division commander and commanders of various sequences finally reacted and commanded their troops to move to the bushes on both sides.
boom! Boom boom boom!
Densely packed anti-personnel mines exploded, maximizing the lethality. Often one mine could cause casualties to more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.
"Push back!"
The Japanese army began to retreat. Both sides dared not move forward and ran backwards in panic under the artillery fire.
The search team in front was wiped out. More than a hundred soldiers came out from the bushes, cleaned up the bodies, and immediately ran up the hillside. There were explosions in front of them, and they all wanted to go up and take a look at this magnificent scenery.
In the rear bunker, dozens of machine guns were aimed at the road. Looking at the Japanese soldiers swarming in, the machine gunners showed a playful smile in their eyes. If they wanted to run, they would have to see if they could outrun the speed of the bullets.
