Invincible from the sword

Chapter 264 This is a Disgrace
Hatano, the commander of the No.16 Division of the Japanese Army, had a very ugly face and turned red.

Same as pork liver.

The Kimura detachment was wiped out, which completely exceeded his expectations.

That is a detachment. Although the number of soldiers in this detachment has shrunk a bit, there are still less than 5000 people.

It was killed just like that! ?

When Hatano first started, he looked shocked.

Surely something is wrong?
It is impossible for the Mi Army to be so strong.

Since our No.16 division landed, it has been in full swing, from Legazpi to the Bataan Peninsula.

This is almost meeting the No.40 Eighth Division.

At this juncture, the Kimura detachment was suddenly killed.

This made Hatano feel that there must be something wrong here.

The topography of the Bataan Peninsula has been carefully studied by Hatano, and it is not complicated.

It's just two mountains.

Like a pair of steamed buns.

Although there are [-] troops from the Lighthouse Country, it is nothing to Hatano.

In his opinion, Mi Jun at this time has been frightened out of his wits.

It is not their opponent of the Japanese army at all.

And as long as they win the Bataan Peninsula and defeat the rice army here, the entire Filipino Islands will be firmly occupied by them.

I heard that the No.40 Eighth Division encountered fierce resistance from the Mi Army, but generally speaking, the No.40 Eighth Division is also advancing steadily.

Therefore, if the battle of the Bataan Peninsula is fought well, the battle of the entire Filipino Islands will basically be over.

To be on the safe side, Hatano adopted a pincer offensive tactic.

Prepare to attack the Mi Army from the east and west sides.

Originally, he planned to use the traditional Japanese three-way attack on Dafa, but the terrain of the Bataan Peninsula did not have sufficient conditions for his troops to fully deploy.

Only pincer attacks can be used.

Everything was going well.

Kimura Wangba said in a telegram not long ago that his detachment had occupied the forward position of the Mi Army on Mount Naleb.

It is preparing to bypass Mount Naleb and attack Bagak along the coast.

In this case, together with the No.60 Fifth Brigade, they can flank Bagak and copy the back route of the Mi Army on Naleb Mountain.

This plan is brilliant.

Why was the Kimura detachment suddenly wiped out in Bagak?

A hundred or so soldiers ran out.

According to the soldiers who ran back, the opponent's firepower was very strong.

There was gunfire everywhere.

Cannonballs were fired.

The entire position was covered by artillery fire.

And the opponent has a lot of tanks.

The opponent's troops attacked very sharply.

I really think about the combat thinking of their Japanese army.

First came the artillery bombardment, then the infantry charged.

Step Tan collaboration.

The shelling alone caused the loss of two-thirds of their Kimura detachment's strength.

too frightening.

Hatano, commander of the No.16 Division of the Japanese Army, frowned.

He quickly gave an order to the No.60 Fifth Brigade to temporarily stop their attack on the Bagakmi Army.

Assemble at Hermosa, twenty kilometers from Mount Naleb, and await further orders.

Hatano was at the headquarters of the division, looking at the map in a daze.

He recalled his entire commanding process, and felt that there was nothing wrong with his commanding!

Why was he beaten so hard this time?

The commander-in-chief of the Filipino maid campaign, Benge Yaqing, sent a telegram, scolding Hatano bloody.

Actually turned all the troops of a detachment into it!
It's just a shame!

Benge Yaqing ordered Hatano to take the Bataan Peninsula within two days.Destroy the Mi army there.

Only in this way can they occupy the entire Filipino Maid Islands in one fell swoop.

Hatano looked at the telegram from Commander Motoko Yaharu, and was very angry.

He closed his eyes for a long time before he calmed down.

idiot……

Commander Benge Yaqing, is he an idiot?

Didn't he see that there was a problem here?
At the beginning, the combat power of the Mi army was only one hundred.

But in Bagak, the combat effectiveness of the Mi Army is at least [-].

Before figuring out what happened, we should immediately stop the offensive on the Bataan Peninsula is the correct choice.

The No.16 Fifth Brigade, which belonged to the No.60 Division of the Japanese Army, was impatient in Hermosa.

Asami Yuma, head of the No.60 Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Army, was very upset.

idiot.

This guy Hatano is too cautious.

When did the army of our big island nation become so sissy?
It just doesn't fit our sitting style!
Blitz!
Blitz!
Blitz!!
Say the important thing three times.

If our island country wants to win the war, we must learn from the Dazhong country, use speed to divide the opponent, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

If we were all like Hatano, we would not be able to win the battle at all.

Humph.

If it wasn't for the fact that you, Hatano, have a celebrity sister, I wouldn't have taken you seriously.

After all, I owe Mr. Bodo a movie ticket.

Mentioning this, Asami Yuma, head of the No.60 Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Army, sighed for a while.

What a woman.

Would you like to be my wife well?
Don't want to make an art film.

Get your clothes ready to wash.

The Chief of Staff of the No. 60 Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Army was a 1.1-meter-tall man who frowned and asked Asami Yuma: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, what should we do next?
Now our troops are assembled by Hermosa.

But going on like this is not an option.

In the Bataan Peninsula, there are a large number of lighthouse troops.

We must attack immediately before their fortifications are completed.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for us to occupy the Bataan Peninsula. "

Asami Yuma nodded.

His chief of staff was right.

According to the art of war, it is necessary to attack halfway.

Although there is no river here, there are mountains.

The fighting spirit is figured out.

The meaning is to take advantage of your own advantages to launch an attack while the opponent is not gaining a firm foothold.

thereby defeating the opponent.

The Kimura detachment was killed in Bagac, and the current Mi army must be silent and forgetful in victory.

Now, it is a good time for his No.60 Fifth Brigade to launch an attack.

If he waited any longer, his troops would also be in danger.

Asami Yuma decides to attack immediately.

As for Hatano's order, let him be paralyzed.

Asami Yuma ordered the troops to immediately set off from Hermosa and advance to Mount Naleb on the Bataan Peninsula.

In the headquarters of the Mi Army, Zhang Lei pointed to a road on the east side of Naleb Mountain and said to Stilwell: "General Stilwell, here will be the best place for us to ambush the Japanese army.

The terrain here is narrow, and the strength of the Japanese army cannot be deployed.

On both sides of the road, there are tropical forests and highlands of about 200 meters, which are just right for artillery positions. "

Zhang Lei's plan was to ambush the Japanese army ten kilometers south of Hermosa, and use his superiority in strength to directly encircle the Japanese army.

After all, the Japanese army only has about 5000 people, but I have 10 people in my hand.

This kind of rich battle doesn't even need a command, and it can eat up the Japanese army if you just pounce on it.

Zhang Lei's suggestion is that the Army's Second Division be in charge of the front of the Japanese army's marching route.

At the same time, the tank regiment was assigned to the second division.

The third and fourth divisions of the Lighthouse Army were on both sides of the Japanese marching route.

The artillery regiment is divided into two and assigned to the third and fourth divisions.

After the Japanese army entered the ambush circle, the artillery immediately fired.

In order to kill the Japanese army as much as possible, Zhang Lei required that the shelling time should not be less than two hours.

Although the Japanese army only had about 5000 people, this time, Zhang Lei extended the shelling time by an hour.

The purpose is to kill the Japanese army as much as possible.

After all, the Japanese army suffered a big loss in front. If this Japanese army wants to attack, it will definitely be prepared.

But no matter how well prepared you are, you can't stand being bombarded like this by cannons.

Anyway, the Mi Army has a lot of artillery and shells, so there is no need to save them.

When the Mi army fights, what it fights is logistics.

If there is no logistical supply, the Mi Army dares to surrender immediately.

What Zhang Lei arranged was a pocket.

Surrounded by three missing one.

To annihilate this Japanese army, so many troops were simply not needed.

According to Zhang Lei's estimation, to kill this group of Japanese troops, it would be more than enough to use the strength of one division, plus artillery regiments and tank regiments.

However, in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Lighthouse Army and increase their confidence in the Japanese army, Zhang Lei felt that it was necessary for all the Mi troops to participate in the battle.

At least let them see what the Japanese devils look like?

The [-]-meter army was defeated by the [-] Japanese army, and now it is trapped in the Bataan Peninsula by thousands of Japanese troops. This sounds incredible.

What you have in your hands is a real weapon!

If this Japanese army can be killed cleanly this time, this rice army will have a very high chance of winning against the Japanese army next time.

Stilwell was a little confused about Zhang Lei's thoughts, so he fiddled with Zhang Lei's suggestion on the map.

I feel that the risk is a bit high: "Zhang Lei, we have deployed all our troops in this narrow place south of Hermosa. If something happens, our troops will be in danger."

In Stilwell's view, they put so many troops here, it was too dense.

The Japanese army's military strength cannot be expanded, and our own military strength cannot be expanded either!

Stilwell was a little confused.

Zhang Lei shook his head: "Stilwell, the purpose of our campaign this time is not only to kill the Japanese army, but also to train your troops.

Let them see the blood.

Otherwise, your army is just a number and has no combat effectiveness at all.

Why can the Japanese army chase you all over the world with so few people?

It's because your troops are so cowardly.

The weapons in your hands are so awesome, you don’t even know how to use them!
If this were with us, they would be scolded to death. "

Stilwell grinned.

What Zhang Lei said was so straightforward.

However, it is also true.

The troops of their lighthouse country are really not very good at fighting.

Stilwell, as one of the few generals in the Lighthouse Kingdom who knew more about the East, was shocked by the way the East fought.

That's really hard work.

Knowing that he was dead, he dared to rush into the Japanese army holding the explosive package.

If all the weapons and equipment of the Mi army were given to the soldiers in the east, Stilwell believed that the Japanese army would be beaten even if their own mothers would not recognize it.

His troops really need to be tempered.

Stilwell immediately agreed to Zhang Lei's suggestion.

Then ordered the troops to immediately gather in the area south of Hermosa.

Prepare to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army.

The Fifth Regiment of the Second Division of the Mi Army was particularly active.

The team leader Johnson is completely Zhang Lei's little fan.

The main reason is that he easily killed the Japanese army according to Zhang Lei's command.

This feeling is so cool.

Zhang Lei did not allow Johnson's regiment to participate in the frontal attack on the Japanese army.

Instead, he ordered Johnson, with his Fifth Regiment, to circle behind Hermosa.

Under normal circumstances, when the large Japanese troops attack, their headquarters will not be too far forward.

Hermosa is only [-] kilometers away from Naleb Mountain.

Therefore, the headquarters of this Japanese army should be stationed in Hermosa and will not go any further.

Zhang Lei told Johnson that as soon as the fight started here, his fifth regiment would immediately attack Hermosa.

Be sure to kill the headquarters of this Japanese army.

The commander of the 5000-strong Japanese army must be a Japanese army commander.

If the command of the Japanese army is allowed to run away, it will be unreasonable.

A force of 5000 people, the guard force of the headquarters, should be the strength of one to two squadrons.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Lei transferred a tank battalion to Johnson's Fifth Regiment.

At the same time, ten artillery pieces were deployed.

The purpose is to allow Johnson's fifth regiment to kill the Japanese army's headquarters with an absolute advantage in strength.

Zhang Lei told Johnson that when attacking, the speed must be fast.

Do not exceed an hour.

After all, there goes to the headquarters of the Japanese army.

If the headquarters is attacked, the Japanese army will definitely find a way to return.

Johnson's regiment has almost 2000 people, plus a tank battalion and ten artillery pieces. With such a force, it is absolutely no problem to kill two squadrons of the Japanese army.

At this time, the No.60 Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Army, the main force had already set off from Hermosa and was rapidly advancing towards Bagac.

The vanguard of the Japanese army is an infantry brigade of the Japanese army.

Behind them came the regiments of infantry, with squadrons of artillery and engineers.

The supply unit is last.

The team was led by a joint captain of the Japanese army.

Although it is the No.60 Fifth Brigade, their total strength is actually less than two regiments.

The other troops were incorporated into the Kimura detachment.

As a result, in Bagac, they were all killed.

This made the Japanese army captain feel a little hazy.

He is very clear about the strength of the Kimura detachment.

Whether it's Kimura bastard's command ability or the troops under him, the combat effectiveness is very good.

Almost the elite of the entire No.60 Fifth Brigade.

As a result, in Bagac, he was killed within a few hours, which made him feel uncertain.

Now he leads the troops to attack Bagak again, and there is always a feeling of death.

I'm not going to die here.

The captain of the Japanese army frowned, and his heart beat faster.

"Hey, ask the vanguard, have you found anything?" The Japanese army captain pointed to the transmitter next to him.

Soon, the transmitter beeped: "Moses Moses, chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum, I am the backyard, I am the backyard, please answer if you hear it! Please answer if you hear it!"
