My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 464
To say that the fourth and fifth divisions of Taunggyi are also very distinctive units among all divisions of the Japanese army.

The Fifth Division also has a well-known name... It is the Banyuan Division that participated in the battles of Taierzhuang and Kunlun Pass, known as "Half of Banyuan in Shanxi", and known as the "Steel Army".

The fifth division recruited from Hiroshima itself has a sturdy personality. The unit was originally an elite Japanese army with two brigades, plus artillery, tanks and other directly subordinate units. It was also one of the four major mechanized divisions in Japan in the early days. The strength of the Japanese army is very strong, plus the engineering, health, and logistics transportation units directly under the division, the peak full strength exceeds 3.

The division has participated in almost all wars in Japan's modern history, and has traveled all over North Korea, Russia, China, Southeast Asia and other places. .

They were the Japanese troops that caused the greatest casualties to the Chinese army during the Anti-Japanese War, none of them!

它先后与华夏70余个师交手，鲜有败绩。比如37年10月的娘子关战役，第五师团1.5万人击败华夏守军50个团10余万人，华夏军队损失2.7万人。忻口战役，板垣征四郎指挥第五师团3万人向卫立煌将军指挥的20万大军正面猛攻……

After 23 days of bloody battle, the Huaxia army was defeated and retreated.In this battle, the Huaxia Army lost more than 10 people, and dozens of generals under the commander of the Ninth Army Hao Mengling were killed.The Fifth Division chased more than 9 divisions of Huaxia with a force of one division, and captured Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi.

With the thinking of modern people, I definitely don't believe that a division of the Japanese army can easily defeat the Chinese army dozens of times, but this is indeed a fact.The casualties caused by the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army to the Huaxia Army are conservatively estimated to be at least 40 people!Become a well-deserved butcher army!

Since then, the Fifth Division has been used by the Japanese base camp as a mobile force, attacking various battlefields in China. At Kunlun Pass in December 39, the 12st Brigade of the Fifth Division encountered the Fifth Army of the National Revolutionary Army known as the "Iron Horse Lion".In the bloody battle at Kunlun Pass, more than 21 Japanese soldiers were killed from brigade commander Nakamura Masao down, and brigade commander Nakamura Masao also suffered three wounds and died.

Although Huaxia's record seems to be brilliant, the price paid is quite painful. Countless anti-Japanese heroes fell on the battlefield. The Fifth Division also disabled the Fifth Army of the National Revolutionary Army...the only mechanized army in the National Army, Although the victory of the Kunlun Pass was declared to the outside world, judging from the strategic results, it finally ended with the victory of the Fifth Division.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, this Japanese army moved to Southeast Asia, which brought huge disasters to the people of Southeast Asia.

It was not until 42 that they were dispatched to participate in the Battle of Port Moresby. The Fifth Division ushered in a real defeat since it became an army. They lost their supplies and were beaten to death by the U.S.-Austrian coalition forces, and finally retreated. It was not until today that the patrol rested and returned to the battlefield in Myanmar.

It was precisely because of the disastrous defeat in Port Moresby that Seiichi Yamada, who was the commander of the Fifth Division at the time, wanted to wash away this shame.

A few months ago, the Fifth Division, which was late in Burma and missed the battle of Lashio, was gearing up for the battle this time. They wanted to show off their glory as the earliest seven standing divisions of the Japanese Empire.
The 42nd Regiment on the front line has started contact with the 200th Division. The two sides have conducted several tentative battles, but the scale is not large. Huaxia's follow-up troops surrounded the opponent before they could catch up, and devoured more than 11 Huaxia people who had penetrated into this lone army.

The two infantry regiments were not peaceful during the march. It was extremely difficult to march quickly in the vast primeval jungle of Zen State. From time to time, there would be fighter jets whizzing past in the sky, bombing suspicious points on the ground, That napalm bomb made the little devil suffer a lot.

Even though the road was so difficult, the Japanese army still gritted their teeth and hurried towards the battlefield. Seiichi Yamada seemed to be possessed and ordered the troops to reach Kyogu within three days at all costs.

In order to avoid the bombing of the U.S. fighter planes, the little devil changed to rest during the day and march at night. The troops were broken up into pieces, and they quickly shuttled through the forest with the smallest unit, and even abandoned a lot of unnecessary luggage, just to complete it in a limited time. Encirclement of the enemy.

Two days later, the two reinforced regiments had arrived at their predetermined positions. Among them, the 21th Battalion of the 9st Regiment rushed to the east bank of the Nandu River, blocking the Huaxia people's retreat. Other troops also followed the pre-planned Action plan, ready to start a life-and-death struggle with the opponent in the Jiaogu area east of Nandu River.

What the Japanese army didn't expect was that although the encirclement had been formed, the follow-up operations were quite unsatisfactory.

"Shooting する!"

"Suddenly! Kill!"

The sound of shouting and killing was loud, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the position of the 200th Division shouting with rifles in hand.

The dense flames burst out from the Japanese Type 99 light machine guns, and the grenades also started to show off as the infantry advanced. Several Type [-] tanks made a heavy roar and slowly moved forward against the hail of bullets.

"Ha Yaku! Follow behind the chariot, move fast!"

shhhhhh…

boom!
boom!
Countless bullets shuttled and stirred in this battlefield, and the shells fell in all directions like hailstones, taking away fresh lives one after another.

"Kill!"

"His Majesty the Emperor...long live!"

The slogans were shouted loudly, and the blood seemed to only arouse their fierceness. One batch fell and another group rose again. The fearless Japanese soldiers followed the tanks and rushed towards the enemy like a tide.

"boom!"

……clang!

Just halfway through, one of the Type [-] tanks suddenly exploded under the body, the track was broken by an anti-tank mine, and it slid off the road wheels with a crash.

"Do u shi ta no??"

"It's a mine!"

For a moment... the crew in the tank panicked. Before they could take countermeasures, a 75mm anti-tank gun hit the vehicle body accurately.

boom! !The huge explosion sound is accompanied by the dazzling flames. How can the 40mm penetration of the PAK120 anti-tank gun be resisted by the thin-skinned Type [-]?The turret of this tank was lifted into the air by the explosion, and the car body also ignited a raging fire, and it became a piece of scrap iron in an instant.

The Japanese army is still charging, but the firepower network formed on the hillside is like an insurmountable gap, no matter how they attack, they will not move.

The ninety-seven-step chariot that the little devil is proud of was either destroyed by the anti-tank guns on the ground, or was used as a target for dive bombing by the fighter planes in the sky. Zuka 50mm rocket.

The tank attack was completely destroyed before its value was displayed, and the infantry accompanying the battle suffered heavy casualties. Corpses were scattered everywhere in front of the formation, but the remaining Japanese soldiers did not dare to retreat without the commander's order, so they could only continue Continue to die on the battlefield of bullets and bullets.

The Fifth Division was too reckless to fight, and the onslaught regardless of the cost might be okay against ordinary troops, but facing the 88th Army with powerful firepower and sufficient ammunition, they could only bow their heads and drink their hatred.

If the members of the Fourth Division were here, they would definitely shake their heads. How could a battle be fought like this?What kind of strategy is needed if you can win the battle with your life.

Seeing that there was no hope of victory, the devil officers in this line of defense could only reluctantly order to retreat, and the remaining little devils finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaving the corpses on the ground and hurriedly escaped.

The Huaxia people not only have strong firepower, but also don't care about ammunition consumption at all. The artillery power of two regiments can actually challenge the artillery troops of one of their own divisions. The two sides will have exciting artillery battles from time to time, but the former is faintly occupying upper hand.

The reconnaissance plane has been hovering in the sky, constantly searching for the traces of the main force of the Japanese artillery, and will report to its own artillery if there is any sign, and then the artillery of the 200th Division will conduct a wave of fire reconnaissance according to the coordinates, and the shells like hailstones will directly hit them .

So much so that the Artillery Wing of the Fifth Division was tied up and had to fire a round of artillery and immediately shift its position. If it was a little slower, it would be either the roaring planes strafing or the overwhelming artillery shells, which made people miserable.

Although the 200th Division had only two regiments with more than 6000 people, their resistance was very strong. The three regiments of the Fifth Division took turns to attack for a day but failed to advance one kilometer. The position was firmly in the hands of the former.

The most important thing is that the position chosen by the opponent is very unique. It is close to the tributary of Nandu River and surrounded by relatively flat depressions and bushes. It can be said that the attacker has no shelter and is completely exposed to the enemy's fire coverage.

At the same time, the Nankan 88th Army Command...

"Report to Jun Zuo, according to the report from the frontline troops, most of the enemy has already taken the bait, Commander Gao asked if it is possible to close the net now." The communications soldier said and passed the telegram over.

Liao Mingyu picked up the telegram and read it carefully, and asked casually, "How is the situation at Gaoxijiang? Is the [-]th Division in place?"

"Hui Jun seat, the 3th Division reported the last information to the headquarters three hours ago, and then entered a state of radio silence. I think they should be moving towards the target at this time."

Meng Fan came over with a document, and saw that he had two bars of three stars on his neckline, he was wearing a colonel's military uniform, and his hair was parted like A Yi's. He really had the air of a Shangguan. .

"Well, call back first... Let the brothers of the 200th division hold on for another day, don't beat too hard and show the other side a little bit. In addition... always pay attention to the movements of the fourth division, there is only one chance and there is no mistake!" Liao Mingyu raised his head, commanded sharply.

"Yes!" The communications soldier hurriedly agreed.

"Junzuo, I heard that this unit is fighting fiercely. There are still many armored units joining the front line attack. If the 200th Division hadn't completed the change of equipment early, it may not be able to stop the opponent."

Looking at the table full of battle reports, Meng Annoyed said with lingering fear, that if it is only about the will to fight, this army might be stronger than the Eighteenth Division they had encountered before.

"Hmph, Fifth Division, it's not surprising that those lunatics from Hiroshima would behave like this."

Speaking of this, Liao Mingyu's eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised a dangerous arc: "The debt needs to be paid little by little, but...no one can run away!"

The 18th Division, the 6th Division... these criminal units that have brought endless harm to China have all been defeated by Liao Mingyu, and they all went to hell, and this time...it is the turn of the 5th Division
