The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 652 The Power of the People

Although Guo Hengming has tens of thousands of armed people in his hands, he knows that these people lack training and are still loosely organized and lack of cooperation on the whole. May cause a crash.

However, the sheer number of people is a huge advantage.Guo Hengming knew how to take advantage of this. He sent special forces to spread the word to these armed people, telling everyone that there are now as many as 10 anti-Japanese people in the Golden Triangle, while the enemy is only a few thousand people. Everyone alone A mouthful of spit can drown them.

Not only that, Guo Hengming also told everyone that Gao Jiuye was leading an army to come for reinforcements, so that everyone didn't have to worry at all.

Sure enough, the majority of anti-Japanese people heard that there were only a few thousand Japanese, and everyone was dozens of people going to fight a Japanese. Everyone was full of confidence, not to mention the invincible Gao Jiuye who was leading an army to reinforce.So everyone was full of confidence, enthusiasm was very high, and there was no fear at all. Everyone even had a strong urge to rush forward to bully the Japanese.

Despite this, Guo Hengming still did not dare to be careless. He divided the tens of thousands of anti-Japanese people into several major military groups, each with at least tens of thousands of people.Even so, he did not dare to let these people directly face the Japanese attack.He directed these people to enter the trenches that had been dug before.

Those who could not enter the trenches due to insufficient number of trenches were organized to dig trenches.

The industrial capabilities of the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle are very strong. They have a large number of construction machinery, and the key is a large number of trench excavators.In a short time, a large number of trenches were dug, and all these anti-Japanese people entered the trenches.In this way, the firepower advantage of the large number of anti-Japanese people can be fully utilized. Even if they encounter a fierce attack by the Japanese army, casualties will be reduced, and the anti-Japanese people will not collapse.

7 o'clock in the morning.The vanguard of the Japanese army finally appeared.

Guo Hengming knew that the ordinary people behind him could only fight with the wind, so he must first defeat the spirit of the Japanese army and boost the morale of these armed people.

He first commanded Li Chengwu's special operations team and the construction workers' self-defense force. Taking advantage of the Japanese army's unstable foothold and under the cover of fierce firepower, he directly launched an attack on the Japanese army.

The forward of the Japanese army had only one infantry brigade. They did not expect that they directly ran into the most elite Taohuashan Special Forces and the Construction Workers' Self-Defense Force in the northern part of the Golden Triangle.The enemy's firepower was so ferocious, and their tactical level was so high, that the Japanese army was caught off guard and was beaten back steadily. Soon after, they collapsed and fled desperately to the rear.

Those armed people in the trenches ahead witnessed all this with their own eyes.

Seeing that the Japanese army was defeated so easily, their morale was even higher, and their original fear of the Japanese army basically disappeared.

Guo Hengming took the opportunity to send special forces to spread the news that the Japanese army had been defeated to the armed masses.

Everyone thinks that the Japanese are nothing more than this, so their fear has weakened a lot, their morale has become very high, and they even have a very relaxed mentality about defeating the Japanese.

The Japanese army who came to attack was the 22rd Brigade of the 43nd Division. The brigade commander Shimizu Shuichi, 44 years old this year, is one of the famous fighters in the Japanese army.

According to intelligence, the main force of the anti-Japanese army in this area has been attracted to Yangon City, and the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle is very empty.He originally thought that he could easily invade the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle and destroy Gao Jiu's lair, but he didn't expect that the vanguard would be directly defeated by them.

However, he was not flustered. He believed that what they were facing was the main force of the remaining Taohuashan guerrillas in the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle, and the number of them would not be large.

Shimizu Shuichi felt that although the vanguard suffered a failure, as long as he mobilized the main force to go up, he would definitely be able to defeat the enemy.

So he ordered and sent a large number of scouts to search, looking for a roundabout route, and at the same time led the main force of the brigade to press over.Soon after, a wing of the Japanese army rushed to the front and directly attacked the enemy.

Although the Taohuashan guerrillas have only one reinforced squadron, a self-defense force of more than 1000 construction workers, their combat quality surpasses that of the Japanese army, and their firepower even exceeds that of the Japanese infantry regiment.

After a short time, the Japanese attack was repulsed and suffered heavy casualties.Qingshui Xiuyi knew that the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas were powerful, but he didn't expect them to be so strong. For a moment, he felt that this battle was not easy to fight.

At this moment, more bad news came.

The scouts reported one after another that there were countless trenches in the front and on the two wings, and there were countless people guarding them. The number was roughly calculated, at least no less than 10.Shimizu Xiuyi was dumbfounded when he heard that, not understanding where so many enemies suddenly appeared.

After all, he is a battle-tested general, and he did not change his original attack plan because of this. He sent a small number of Japanese troops to launch a tentative attack on the defenders.

Not long after, they discovered that, apart from the enemy on the front, although the defenders in other places were large in number and fierce in firepower, their fighting style was chaotic, which seemed to be due to a lack of training.

He analyzed and judged that these people might be militiamen.In order to verify his judgment, he confessed that the troops in front tried to capture the enemy's prisoners and figure out the reality of the opponent.

A squadron leader of the Japanese army led his own squadron and launched an attack towards the position guarded by the militiamen of the chemical factory in the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle.

The Japanese offensive tactics were still the same old ones, the infantry rushed after the artillery bombarded them.Such tactics put a lot of pressure on the untrained worker militia. When they saw the Japanese soldiers crawling towards them, their fierce firepower could not stop the enemy, and they began to panic.

Soon after, those Japanese soldiers moved to a place 30m away from the trenches guarded by the militiamen and threw grenades, causing heavy casualties to the militiamen guarding the trenches.Then the Japanese soldiers jumped up and rushed towards the trench.

The militiamen guarding the first trench panicked. Many threw away their weapons and fled backwards.

The Japanese soldiers rushed into the first trench, and the squadron leader of the Japanese army decided to pursue the victory and completely defeat the untrained workers' militia in front, so he directly led the Japanese soldiers to charge to the second trench.

Although the workers and militiamen guarding the second trench were in a panic, they fired violently with a large number of submachine guns and light machine guns in their hands, killing many Japanese soldiers who rushed up, forcing them to retreat to the first trench. Inside a trench.

Seeing this situation, the morale of the militiamen rose again.

The squadron leader of the Japanese army hid behind a concealed object and looked forward with a telescope.When he saw the countless trenches ahead and the crowds in the trenches, he felt very discouraged.

At this time, two Japanese soldiers caught a wounded worker's militiaman and brought them over.The squadron leader of the Japanese army interrogated him immediately, and when he figured out the previous situation, he immediately sent a second lieutenant to report to his superiors.

The information was quickly reported step by step, and soon reached the ears of brigade leader Shimizu Shuichi.When he learned that there were hundreds of thousands of enemies they were facing, he couldn't help feeling disheartened. There were only a few thousand of his subordinates. Facing so many enemies, even if they were all wiped out, it was impossible to attack them. Enter the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle.

He summoned officers above the regiment captain, and after a brief discussion, he decided to concentrate the strength of the entire brigade and launch a fierce attack on the enemy in the front. , those militias that lack organization and training may collapse.

As long as this situation is created, no matter how many enemies there are, they will be in a state of chaos and will not pose too much threat. They still have a chance to invade the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle and wreak havoc.

In order to strengthen the attack, Shimizu Hideichi assembled all the artillery units of the entire brigade, preparing to suppress the main force of the Taohuashan guerrillas with fierce artillery fire and launch an attack across the board.At this moment, there was a huge roar in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of B24 Liberator bombers flew over, they flew over the Japanese army, and countless aerial bombs were thrown down.

The Japanese army was about to launch an attack, and their formation was very dense. When they saw enemy bombers flying over, they hurriedly searched for cover and evacuated their troops.But it was too late, there were bombs everywhere, and it was too late for the Japanese soldiers to escape.

A large number of aerial bombs exploded in the ranks of the Japanese army, blowing them to pieces and turning them on their backs.The cannons of the Japanese army were blown to pieces in the explosion of aerial bombs, and almost no artillery was intact.

Shimizu Shuichi was also within the range of the aerial bomb explosion. When he saw the plane start bombing, he quickly lay down on the ground.The guards around him were very loyal to the officer, and they all lay on top of him.

After a burst of violent explosions, Shimizu Hideichi managed to escape with his life, but the Japanese soldiers lying on him were blown to pieces.

Qing Shuixiu rubbed her buzzing ears, stared at the sky with absent-minded eyes, feeling very aggrieved, wondering why the superior intelligence department of the Japanese army provided such bad information?
First of all, the intelligence department of the Japanese army did not provide such a strong war mobilization capability in the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle, and suddenly tens of thousands of armed militias emerged.

Encountering the bombing of the enemy's air force was even more unexpected, because the information they got was that the enemy's air force and the Japanese army's air force were engaged in air combat in the area around Yangon City. The enemy's bombers, and these enemy bombers came to bomb, but were not intercepted by fighter jets of the Japanese Eighth Air Force.

How did they know that the Eighth Air Force of the Japanese Army had already reached a tacit agreement with Gao Jiu, and it was impossible for them to appear in the sky above the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu was worried that although the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle had a large number of people, it lacked training after all. He was worried that these militias would not be able to withstand the Japanese attack.Therefore, when he received Guo Hengming's report, he specially sent a large number of bombers to support.

Qing Shuixiu was a little dazed. He saw the destroyed artillery positions and the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere. He didn't know what to do. At this time, the roar of bombers came from the sky again. The Japanese bombers flew back again and continued to launch a second round of bombing on the Japanese army.

Qing Shui Xiuyi was no longer in the mood to continue attacking the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle. He decided that running for his life was the most important thing, so he took the lead in rushing towards the way he came from with oil on his feet.

Seeing the retreat of the Japanese army, Guo Hengming seized this opportunity and issued an order for a full-scale attack.

The armed militiamen guarding the trenches were all elated when they saw the Japanese army being bombed and howling.When they saw the Japanese army retreating, their morale was high and their confidence doubled.

After hearing the order for a full-scale attack, they jumped out of the trenches in a swarm, and chased the Japanese army all over the mountains and plains.

As with any mob, they are best at playing with the wind.The more irresistible the enemy is, the more vigorous they become.

They saw the collapse of the Japanese army, and everyone tried their best to catch up with the Japanese army.Many people lost their shoes and still chased forward.

The Japanese army is well-trained, and while they run, they will leave small troops behind to cover the retreat of large troops.However, there were too many enemies. Although many militiamen fell under the enemy's gunshots, they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the militiamen to charge. The militiamen held submachine guns in their hands and shot while charging.

The weak firepower of the Japanese army with [-] guns in their hands was no match for these militiamen at all.Those small Japanese troops who served as cover missions were quickly submerged in the swarming crowd.

Guo Hengming and Li Chengwu saw that the overall situation was settled. They were worried that the Japanese army would organize a counterattack, which would defeat the momentum of the militia's offensive, so they simply rushed to the front and quickly defeated the stubborn Japanese army.

The Japanese army couldn't resist such a battle at all. The remaining 3000 Japanese soldiers were besieged by tens of thousands of armed people, and they had no choice but to run for their lives.

The Japanese soldiers ran away desperately, but they were short in stature, with short legs, and they were not familiar with the terrain, so their escape speed was not fast.

Among the militiamen who pursued them, many were locals who were familiar with the terrain, and there were many tall northerners, as well as those Europeans from the West.

These people all have long legs and run faster than the Japanese army.

They quickly caught up with the fleeing Japanese troops and wiped them out one by one.Those Japanese soldiers who ran fast and escaped their lives, soon there were less than 1000 left.

Guo Hengming saw that the overall situation was settled, and he was determined to eat up the Japanese army in front of him.Therefore, Li Chengwu was ordered to lead a Taohuashan special force to outflank the Japanese army.

Shimizu Shuichi had never fought such a useless battle. Under such circumstances, let alone organizing troops to fight back, if he ran a little slower, he would be swallowed by countless anti-Japanese troops with weapons.

The only thing he can do now is to run away desperately.

After running for more than an hour, he felt that his legs were no longer his own.

Hearing those chasing shouts a little further away, he sat down on the ground.

Only then did he realize that there were more than 7000 Japanese soldiers under his command who were armed to the teeth, but now there are only a few hundred people following him.

He wanted to gather these Japanese soldiers, but he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak.He planned to seize the time to rest for a while, and then gather the broken soldiers and continue to flee for their lives.

At this moment, the earth-shattering shouts of killing came again, and the anti-Japanese troops all over the mountains and plains chased after him again.Shimizu Hideichi could only get up again and run desperately.

Suddenly, there was a fierce gunshot ahead, followed by countless bullets.

Those Japanese soldiers who ran ahead fell down in groups. Seeing this situation, he knew that he could not escape.

As soon as Qing Shuixiu saw a small village not far away, she took the lead and fled into it.
