The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 768 This nasty guy

The commander of the 16th Army said: "It seems that you really haven't figured out the situation here. You are right. The Taohuashan guerrillas in the Golden Triangle are indeed only a thousand people, but their combat effectiveness is far from It's far beyond your imagination, even though there are only 1000 people, even if you go to a division, you can't do anything to them. In the end, you can eat up all the people in your division.

The full name of the self-defense force under Gao Jiu is the Construction Workers' Self-Defense Force. Don't just listen to the name and think that they are a mob. Let's put it this way, this team was also trained by Gao Jiu himself. Not much more.

Also, you don’t understand the situation in the Golden Triangle at all. You think Gao Jiu only has less than 1 horses. To tell you the truth, the Golden Triangle also has an air force with hundreds of various aircraft.

This is not the most powerful, millions of trained militiamen can be mobilized at any time in the Golden Triangle Gaojiu, and the weapons and equipment of these militiamen far exceed our equipment.The Golden Triangle has the largest arsenal in Asia, and weapons and ammunition can be supplied in unlimited quantities.

Faced with such a huge force, do you still think how strong our two armies are?

This is not over yet, Gao Jiu has a strong appeal. In South Asia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, India, as well as the French and British armies here, all obey Gao Jiu's command, as well as those in Guofu. The expeditionary force, these troops add up to no less than the troops of our two armies. Their weapons and equipment are all provided by the arsenal in the Golden Triangle, and their firepower far exceeds ours.

Do you still think there is a chance of winning the Golden Triangle? "

Fengwen Yamashita's scalp tingled when he heard it. He really didn't expect Gao Jiu to have such great strength here. No wonder the commander of the 16th Army and the original division heads of the 15th Army were unwilling to express their opinions.

Fengwen Yamashita was silent for a while, and asked sincerely: "What do you think should be done?"

The commander of the 16th Army was unwilling to take on this responsibility. He said lightly: "You are the supreme commander appointed by the base camp. I am just telling you the actual situation. It is up to you to decide how to make a decision."

Yamashita Fengwen was a little dazed by what he said, he didn't know what to do for a while, he was a little depressed, and ended the banquet hastily.

After returning to the office, he told the chief of staff what he had talked with the commander of the 16th Army. After listening to it, the chief of staff also felt his scalp numb.

Gao Jiu's strength is really too strong. The Japanese army in South Asia is not only short of troops, but its equipment is far behind Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas.

Obviously, those division commanders, including the commander of the 16th Army, might not be single-minded during the battle. With such an unstable military spirit, it is really powerless to eliminate Gao Jiu.

He suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander, why not report the situation here to the base camp, and let the base camp make a decision."

Yamashita Fengwen is a person with strong self-esteem, he still hopes that he can think of an idea to deal with Gao Jiu.

He said: "Wait a little longer, you can't just listen to the 16th Army, learn more about the situation before making a decision."

The reason why Yamashita Fufumi did this was because he believed that although Gao Jiu could use a lot of troops, the anti-Japanese armed forces of various countries were not a unified army after all, and the combat effectiveness of those militiamen was by no means a match for the well-trained Japanese army.

After all, he just took over as the commander of the 15th Army. The base camp already has the idea of ​​merging the 15th Army and the 16th Army to form the South Asian Front Army. At this moment, he really didn't want to let the headquarters think he was incompetent and miss this opportunity for promotion.

Fengwen Yamashita was still hesitating, but Gao Jiu refused to give him this chance.

After defeating the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Gao Jiu and others rested for two days before launching a fierce offensive in Thailand. They quickly defeated the two independent garrison teams of the Japanese Army in Thailand and captured eleven towns. , took control of southwestern Thailand.

Fufumi Yamashita was furious, and personally led the 65th, 66th, and 144th divisions of the Japanese army into Thailand and launched an attack on the coalition troops commanded by Gao Jiu.

Gaogong Town, the temporary headquarters of the coalition forces.

Liao Tong, Liu Zhanying and the others frowned when they saw the arrow marked on the map in the direction of the Japanese army's three-way attack, forming a frontal attack with two wings outflanking.

Liu Zhanying said with some concern: "Jiu Ye, three divisions of the Japanese army are encircling us, how should we fight the next battle?"

As the chief of staff of the coalition forces, Wang Guimin already had a plan in mind, so he looked at Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu nodded to him, indicating that he would do the talking.

Wang Guimin said: "The Japanese army came at once with three divisions, plus the troops directly under the 15th Army, with a total strength of more than [-] troops. It seemed menacing, but it was not difficult to deal with them.

My opinion is to adopt the tactics of concentrating forces and defeating each one. First, choose the 144th Division of the Japanese Army. As long as the 144th Division of the Japanese Army is wiped out, the Japanese attack will be considered broken. "

Liao Tong nodded and said: "The 144th Division of the Japanese Army is a newly formed unit, and its combat effectiveness is relatively weak. Fight this unit first, and most of the attacking directions of the 144th Division of the Japanese Army are in the plains, which is conducive to the mechanization of our army. The actions of the troops, I agree with the troops that chose to attack the Japanese army first."

Liu Zhanying asked puzzledly: "The three divisions of the Japanese army are basically advancing side by side, and the distance between them is only tens of kilometers. How can it be possible to separate the 144th division of the Japanese army?"

Wang Guimin said: "Everyone, please see that the 144th Division of the Japanese Army is on the right flank of the Japanese Army's Third Route Army. Although they are only 65 kilometers away from the Japanese 25th Division in the middle route, they are separated by Mount Malagon. Gongshan can separate the 144th Division and the 65th Division of the Japanese Army.

The 66th Division of the Japanese Army was on the left flank of the 65th Division. If they wanted to reinforce the 144th Division of the Japanese Army, they could only pass through Mount Malagon. "

The Thai general didn't speak all the time, he didn't understand Chinese, and the conversation between Gao Jiu and others was interpreted by an interpreter.

At this time, he said: "Chief of Staff Wang, this idea is good, but after our army seized Mount Malagon, it will be flanked by three divisions of the Japanese army at the same time. Annihilated."

His words were obviously fearful, and he was obviously unwilling to let the Thai army take on this task.

Wang Guimin said: "What you said is reasonable, but the terrain of Malagon Mountain is dangerous, and it is easy to
It is difficult to defend and attack, and I am completely sure to stick to it for 48 hours, providing enough time to annihilate the 144th Division of the Japanese Army.This task is carried out by the Golden Triangle Construction Workers Self-Defense Force. "

Hearing that the troops in the Golden Triangle are willing to take on the most difficult tasks, the Thai general breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had some doubts. He said: "We only have so many troops here, even if your troops guard Mount Malagon and encircle and annihilate The mission of the 144th Division of the Japanese Army is ours and the Yuanzheng Army's troops. We and the Yuanzheng Army are not strong enough, and it is impossible to annihilate the 48th Division of the Japanese Army within 144 hours. Isn't this kind of deployment a bit too appetizing? Too big? Is there any other combat plan?"

Liao Tong also felt a little puzzled. The question raised by the Thai general was also what he wanted to ask, because among the current coalition forces, the most powerful ones are the Taohuashan guerrillas and their construction workers' self-defense force. They are responsible for blocking the enemy's reinforcements. The mission, the task of annihilating the 144th Division of the Japanese Army also fell on the Yuanzheng Army and the Thai Army. Their combined total strength is only 15000.The 144th Division of the Japanese Army has at least 25000 people. Although they are better equipped than the Japanese Army, they only have 15000 people.It is basically impossible to wipe out an entire division of the Japanese army with 48 people within 25000 hours.

Everyone felt that Wang Guimin's battle plan was unreliable, so they looked at Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu said: "I agree with Wang Guimin's combat deployment. As for your questions, I will answer them for you."

After Gao Jiu answered everyone's questions one by one, everyone laughed easily and expressed their agreement with Wang Guimin's combat deployment.

The 65th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed in central Vietnam. The area under its control was rich in products and relatively prosperous in economy.

They had a secret agreement with Gao Jiu in advance. Gao Jiu never took the initiative to attack them, and even the guerrillas in the northern part of Vietnam did not harass them. They have always maintained secret business contacts with the Golden Triangle, and their small life is very nourishing. .

Not long ago, they sold a batch of raw materials to the Golden Triangle in exchange for a lot of industrial products, including the newly invented air conditioner.

In the hot and humid South Asia, the comfort brought by the air conditioner is unimaginable. The senior generals of the division originally had a lot of money and beauties, and with the enjoyment brought to them by the air conditioner, no one is willing to brave the humidity and heat to run Go marching in the jungle and fight Gao Jiu desperately.

Ever since this annoying guy, Fengwen Yamashita, came, he started to struggle poorly.This time they were forced to attack Gao Jiu's troops first, and they hated it from the bottom of their hearts.

Gao Jiu was not so easy to deal with. All the Japanese troops who fought against Gao Jiu before were all disheveled.

So after receiving the attack order issued by Yamashita Fengwen, the head of the division got in touch with Gao Jiu secretly. Just explain it in writing.

The situation of the head of the 66th Division was similar to that of the head of the 65th Division. He was also tired of Fengwen Yamashita and sent someone to contact Gao Jiu secretly in advance.

This is one of the important guarantees for Gao Jiu to concentrate his forces to encircle and wipe out the 144th Division of the Japanese Army.

Of course, Gao Jiu would not pin all his hopes on the fact that the Japanese army would not turn their backs. He still sent a self-defense force of construction workers, seized Mount Malagon, built a defensive position, and cut off the Japanese 144th Regiment from the rest of the Japanese army. Liaison between the two divisions.

At 8 o'clock this morning, the 144th Division of the Japanese Army was marching when it was suddenly bombarded violently.

The head of the Japanese division immediately ordered the troops to defend on the spot, and at the same time sent scouts to scout the enemy.

Soon, he discovered that there were a large number of anti-Japanese armed forces around the 144th Division, including the Guojun Yuanzheng Army, the Thai Army, the British Army and the Burmese Army.

Why did the British and Burmese troops suddenly appear here?It turned out that Gao Jiu and Wang Guimin had already formulated a battle plan to annihilate the 144th Division of the Japanese Army first.

In order to ensure the superiority in military strength, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the British Governor in Burma in advance, discussing the dispatch of four regiments of the British Army and two divisions of the Burmese Army, with a total strength of 34000.

In order to ensure that the troops of the British and Burmese troops could arrive as soon as possible, the British and Burmese troops mobilized a large number of civilian vehicles in Yangon City in addition to their own vehicles.Gao Jiu also sent a large number of military trucks from the Golden Triangle to help them transport the British and Burmese troops across the Golden Triangle and arrived at the battlefield in time.

In this way, the anti-Japanese armed forces surrounding the 144th Division of the Japanese Army reached more than [-] people.

The head of the 144th Division of the Japanese Army, seeing the huge strength of the enemy, immediately built fortifications on the spot, and at the same time sent a telegram to Yamashita Fufumi, requesting tactical guidance.

After receiving the telegram, Yamashita immediately ordered the 65th and 66th Divisions of the Japanese Army to move closer to the 144th Division.

After receiving the order, the 65th Division of the Japanese Army immediately prepared to cross Mount Malagon, but was hit by firepower from the Golden Triangle Construction Workers' Self-Defense Force.

The artillery fire from the Construction Workers' Self-Defense Force was very violent, and the shells exploded continuously, which looked very spectacular, but they all hit the open area, and no Japanese soldier was injured.

Of course, this was agreed in advance, and he had to make an appearance for Yamashita Fengwen to see.

Soon Fufumi Yamashita received a telegram saying that the main force of the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas had occupied Malagon Mountain, and they had already organized an attack. The enemy's firepower was too strong, and they suffered heavy casualties, unable to break through the enemy's blocking position.

After the 66th Division of the Japanese Army received the order from Yamashita Fengwen, they also commanded the troops to approach the 144th Division of the Japanese Army. They were first attacked by the Taohuashan guerrillas led by Wang Zhankui, and then they were attacked by the Vietnamese guerrillas. Attack, they were forced to stop advancing and counterattacked the Taohuashan guerrillas and Vietnamese guerrillas, so they were unable to move closer to the Japanese 144th Division for a while.

The head of the division also reported the situation to Fengwen Yamashita.

Yamashita Fengwen commanded an army of 8 troops, and they came in a threatening manner. He did not expect that such a situation would appear just after he entered Thailand. He felt unprecedented pressure.

Yamashita had no choice but to order the 144th Division to stand by and wait for help. He sent a telegram to the head of the 67th Division of the Japanese Army, asking him to lead the troops to rush to the rescue.

The head of the 67th Division immediately returned a telegram, saying that the bridge that was blown up by the enemy plane on the way forward has not yet been repaired, all heavy equipment cannot be carried, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened. Even so, there is no guarantee that it will go smoothly. rushed to the battlefield.

Yamashita Fengwen knew that the head of the 67th Division was looking for an excuse to shirk, and he did not report any hope for this, because they were not able to arrive in time when they were expected to rescue the 35th Brigade last time.

He had no choice but to send telegrams to the 65th and 66th Divisions again, ordering them to take Malagon Mountain at all costs and rescue the 144th Division.
