Invincible from the sword

Chapter 258 This battle is so cowardly

Kimura Wangba looked at the map and did not let his troops directly attack the depth of Naleb Mountain.

In his view, directly attacking the depth of Naleb Mountain is likely to suffer.

After all, there are too many trees on the mountain, and there is not even a road.

If you attack like this, your troops will suffer heavy casualties.

Kimura Wangba rolled his eyes twice, and fixed his eyes on a small place called Molong on the side of Naleb Mountain.

Moron is a small town on the coast, at the foot of Mount Naleb.

Occupying Moron, you can bypass Naleb Mountain and directly send troops to Bagak.

According to intelligence, there is a large ammunition warehouse of the Mi Army in Bagak.

After taking down Bagac, the Mi Army may collapse directly.

At that time, there is no need to attack, and the Mi army will surrender by itself.

Kimura Wangba has also noticed the attack on the Mi Army in the past few days, and the Mi Army surrendered at every turn.

As long as you can't beat it, you will basically surrender immediately.

There is no Bushido spirit at all.

As long as the Mi Army's munitions depot is destroyed, the Mi Army, which has lost its logistical support, will have a high possibility of surrendering.

Kimura Wangba immediately decided that his troops should attack Moron with all their strength.

Then go around Naleb Mountain and go straight to Bagak.

Just as Kimura's detachment was rapidly advancing towards Moron, a plane buzzed over in the sky of Mount Mariveles.

The soldiers of the lighthouse country saw very clearly that it was their own plane.

It's just that the plane seemed to have lost control, and it wobbled and fell to the ground.

There was a loud bang.

A huge fireball exploded on the ground.

At the back of the plane, two opened parachutes slowly descended.

Stilwell's face was all white.

Pale and pale.

At his age, he had never jumped out of a parachute.

The whole person is highly tense, and his body is as hard as a piece of wood.

Zhang Lei on the side manipulated his own parachute and told Stilwell loudly to relax his body.

That way you don't break your leg.

As soon as the two of them landed, they were discovered by Mi Jun.

Of course Mi Jun had heard of Stilwell's name.Not only have I heard it, but many people have seen it.

So when they saw Stilwell appearing on Mount Mariveles in such a way, the entire Mi army was shocked.

Just now, they learned that their commander, Pipe Mike, had actually run away secretly.

He immediately gave up his troops.

This caused the rice army in the Bataan Peninsula to explode immediately.

If it weren't for the desperate suppression of several division commanders, the troops would have collapsed long ago.

Although the troops did not collapse, such a thing as the commander's escape was a fatal blow to the entire army.

Originally, the morale of the troops was low, and they were chased and beaten by the Japanese army all the way.

Now the commander has actually run away.

The morale of the troops has been completely exhausted.

Several commanders of the Mi Army got together and discussed what to do?
They contacted Wainwright, and Wainwright told them that the troops must be stabilized, and he could reach the Bataan Peninsula in one day.

When he arrives, find a way to take the troops out.

Several division commanders were about to defend to the death when they saw Stilwell and a young man descending from the sky.

Let them immediately find the backbone.

The staff team has arrived!
As soon as Stilwell landed, he announced he was taking over command of the troops.

He called several division commanders together and asked about the specific situation of the troops.

In a small military tent, several division commanders reported on the situation of their troops.

Zhang Lei's eyes lit up when he heard it.

On the current Bataan Peninsula, there are a total of 10 troops.

Among them, there are three infantry divisions, one supply division, one artillery regiment, and one tank regiment.

Among them, on Mount Naleb, there is an infantry division.

The rest of the troops were deployed between Mount Naleb and Mount Mariveles.

Also, there was an infantry division of Wainwright's.

Among these divisions, Wainwright's infantry division was composed entirely of soldiers from the Beacon Country, and had the strongest combat effectiveness.

The remaining divisions are all composed of locals from the Filipino Maid Islands.

Combat power is so-so.

The artillery regiment and the tank regiment are all composed of rice army soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is still guaranteed.

The numbers of these divisions are also very simple.

Wainwright's division was numbered the [-]st Division of the Lighthouse Filipino Islands Army.

Then came the second, third, fourth, and supply divisions of the Army.

Army Artillery Regiment and Army Armored Regiment.

In Bagak, there is a large ammunition depot of theirs, which contains a large number of weapons and ammunition.

There are even twelve heavy howitzers.

There are almost three hundred cars in the entire army.

In addition, there is also the Asian Fleet of the Lighthouse State, and the commander is Thomas Hart.

However, due to the attack of the Japanese fleet, most of Thomas' Asian fleet has retreated.

There are only a few battleships left, hidden in the outer sea of ​​the Filipino Islands.

Waiting to retreat.

retreat! ?
Zhang Lei grinned.

Damn, with so many troops and so many weapons, you guys are still thinking about retreating?

This battle was so cowardly.

Even if a squad leader of our Eighth Route Army came to command, we wouldn't be beaten into such a shit!

However, it is true that the situation is not optimistic.

According to their narration, Zhang Lei drew the situation of the enemy and ourselves on the map.

The eyeballs of Stilwell almost fell out of shock.

Fake!

The Japanese devils have taken the forward position of Naleb Mountain! ?
This is so fast! ?
Stilwell couldn't believe his ears at all, this situation was even worse than he had imagined.

Stilwell frowned and asked Zhang Lei: "Zhang Lei, you know a lot about the Japanese army in the island country. What do you think about how to fight next?"

Zhang Lei thought for a while, and said to Stilwell and several other commanders: "After listening to what you just said, I have a general understanding of the current situation in the Bataan Peninsula.

My idea is to annihilate the Japanese attacking the Bataan peninsula at Bagak. "

what?
When the commanders of the Lighthouse Kingdom heard that Zhang Lei was going to annihilate the Japanese army in Bagak, their jaws dropped from fright.

Annihilation of the Japanese at Bagak?

What the hell!

This little comrade, your tone is so big!

Do you know how fierce the Japanese army is?

Our commander, Mike the Pipe, can only be chased, how old are you?
Open your mouth and wipe out the Japanese army?
Do you think that the Japanese army is all pigs, and if they say annihilation, they will be annihilated?

Stilwell was also surprised.

Zhang Lei made it very clear that he wanted to bagak and annihilate the Japanese army, not repel them.

There is a world of difference between these two words!

According to the descriptions of the commanders of these lighthouse countries, the Japanese army is very powerful.

Fight to death.

Our troops are now trembling with fear.

Annihilate the Japanese Army...

is it possible?
Zhang Lei said: "Based on the descriptions of several of you just now, I have a general understanding of the Japanese army at Naleb Mountain.

The normal offensive mode of the Japanese army is to use artillery for long-range bombardment first, and then use infantry to advance in coordination with tanks.

A Japanese artillery wing, the standard of a first-class division, has 48 artillery pieces with a caliber of 75mm and [-]mm, and more special ones are equipped with artillery with a larger caliber.

As for the standard of the second-tier division, the number of artillery pieces has become 36.

When it comes to the C-level division, the number is even smaller, 24.

Under normal circumstances, the infantry wing of the Japanese army will have an artillery squadron equipped with artillery, which is usually a 75mm field artillery or a [-]mm infantry artillery.

The commander who guarded the forward position of Naleb Mountain just now said that the Japanese artillery bombardment was very vigorous.

But I have already analyzed it with General Stilwell on the way here. The most likely possibility for the Japanese army to attack the Filipino Islands is two divisions and at most one brigade.

The terrain and environment of the Filipino Islands are not suitable for large-scale artillery deployment at all.

Therefore, I estimate that the Japanese army that attacked the Philippine Maid Islands this time should not be equipped with a special artillery wing, and as for the artillery brigade, it is even more impossible.

Therefore, the Japanese army who bombarded the forward position of Naleb Mountain should be the artillery squadron equipped in the Japanese infantry.

On the way here, we communicated with General Wainwright. Behind his division, there was a Japanese force of about 2 people chasing them.

Twenty thousand Japanese troops, this is the number of people in a second-tier division of the Japanese army.

So the Japanese army attacking Naleb Mountain now has at most the strength of a division.

A Japanese division consisted of two infantry brigades, a supply wing, an artillery brigade, an engineering squadron, and some other squadrons.

The main forces that can be put into the attack are two infantry brigades, with a strength of almost 5000.

In other words, the Japanese army in Naleb Mountain now has a maximum of 5000 people.

We have 10 people here!
The ratio is ten to one.

And our weapons are much better than those of the Japanese army.

I've just had a look at your soldiers' weapons, and they're all the latest production Garand semi-automatic rifles.

The shooting speed of this semi-automatic rifle is much faster than the Japanese [-] Gail.

After all, the [-] Gails used by the Japanese army are still bolt-action rifles.

Compared with semi-automatic, there is no advantage at all.

Moreover, the light and heavy machine guns equipped in your troops are much more than those of the Japanese army.

Among other things, there are not a few M1 submachine guns that are equipped.

Such a powerful firepower is more than enough to kill the Japanese army.

And, didn't you just say that? You also have an artillery regiment and an armored regiment.

I drop mom.

These two regiments are fucking killers.

An artillery regiment is equipped with more than 30 artillery pieces of various apertures.

An armored regiment is equipped with more than fifty tanks.

With such two regiments, not to mention one division of the Japanese army, even two divisions of the hard-working Japanese army will not be defeated.

I really don't understand how your 10 troops are trapped in the Bataan Peninsula. "

Stilwell was embarrassed.

What Zhang Lei said was absolutely correct.

No matter where you look at it, their Mi army should not have been beaten like this by the Japanese army.

and……

What Zhang Lei said was very conservative.

He told Zhang Lei: "This artillery regiment is a reinforced artillery regiment equipped with [-]mm large-caliber artillery.

In addition to this, there are six 150mm howitzers.

The tank regiment is equipped with a total of [-] Sherman tanks. "

Zhang Lei was terrified when he heard it.

This is so...

With such awesome equipment, you are still scared!
The opposite is at best a Japanese infantry division.

If a unit equipped in this way is beaten up by the Japanese army, how can it meet people?
This is the first time Zhang Lei has encountered this kind of battle of wealth.

Stilwell was cautious: "Zhang Lei, do you think we can defeat the Japanese army?
Several commanders were very uncomfortable with the Japanese attack method.

They have been scared by the Japanese army. "

Zhang Lei was about to slap the table.

Hitting is a must.

Not only the Japanese army here, but also the Japanese army on the entire Filipino Maid Islands must be killed.

I am Nima.

With such powerful equipment, it is impossible not to fight.

In order to re-establish the confidence of several generals in the Lighthouse Kingdom, Zhang Lei decided that he would first lead a regiment of troops to attack the Japanese army actively.

Too many dare not say, Zhang Lei is still sure of killing a brigade of the Japanese army.

Of course, Zhang Lei didn't just lead a regiment and charge upwards with a blank head.

He was going to bombard with artillery for a while, and then take a tank battalion, plus an infantry regiment, to attack the vanguard of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army is not prepared at all now.

With such a sudden attack, it was easy to kill a brigade of the Japanese army.

The premise is that Stilwell temporarily handed over the command of the troops to him.

After all, you have to command the artillery regiment, tank regiment, and infantry regiment. If you don't have command authority, don't even think about killing a brigade of the Japanese army.

Wash and sleep.

Stilwell had no objections at all.

Isn't it command authority?
Good to say.

I agreed.

Not to mention command power, as long as Zhang Lei can defeat the Japanese army, I, Stilwell, have no problem with you being the deputy head of the staff.

Stilwell immediately ordered that everyone in the army obey Zhang Lei's command, including Stilwell himself, to obey Zhang Lei's order.

Once the power is in hand, the order will be followed.

Zhang Lei immediately ordered that the artillery regiment aim the muzzle at a place three kilometers north of Bagak.

Wait for his order.

And Zhang Lei, with an infantry regiment and a tank battalion, rushed to Bagak.

According to Zhang Lei's analysis, the Japanese army will definitely bypass the front of Naleb Mountain and attack Bagak along the coastline.

Because Bagac is a very important place for the Mi Army.

If Bagak is occupied by the Japanese army, not only the logistical supplies of the Mi Army will be devastated, but also the retreat of the Naleb Mountain Mi Army will be shortened.

This will make the rice army on Naleb Mountain surrender directly.

Zhang Lei is very sure of this.

The thinking of the troops of Western countries is completely different from that of Easterners.

As long as you can't beat it, surrender.

There is no consideration of national interests at all.

This is especially true for the troops of the Lighthouse Kingdom.

Seeing that the bullets were gone, he surrendered without even thinking about it.

He also made a big show of asking the Japanese army to treat prisoners preferentially in accordance with the Geneva Convention.

I drop mom.

How naive it can be.

If you surrender, you have to be quick.

Do you think any army can treat prisoners like our Eighth Route Army?
Surrender to the Japanese devils and still think about the Geneva Convention!
Are you thinking of farting?
If the Japanese devils can make you die decently, then you will be considered a high incense burner.
