Chapter 245

Overall, the attack went very smoothly.

The Japanese army's defense line outside the city lacked firepower, and the soldiers of the advance regiment fought bravely, and there were six tanks to assist in the battle, as well as the advantages of a large number of troops.

It can be said that there were almost no casualties in conquering this mountain of the Japanese army, and the position was taken down in just over an hour.

Miyamoto was beaten into disgrace, and could only hastily lead the remnants into Xinwei City.

Oda was just about to be brought back to Mandalay. Although defeating and luring the enemy was part of the plan, he failed in the performance. The defeat was so horrendous that an armored force was gone. Someone still needs to take the blame.

With Shinichi Tanaka's intercession, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. He was deployed to Iwo Jima in the Pacific Ocean for the battle of perseverance.

Before leaving, at the gate of the city, I ran into Miyamoto who had returned in a state of embarrassment, and said sincerely: "Miyamoto-sama! Since you didn't come to the battlefield in person yesterday, you didn't know how powerful the advance team is, so you finally learned the lesson today, right?
The advance regiment is the most powerful Chinese army I have ever seen since joining the war. The soldiers not only fought bravely, but also received the best training and well-equipped, far surpassing our Japanese army!
I'm afraid Guijie can't keep it now, and the enemy's army will come soon. We can't hold it here. This time, we have completely failed in the war in northern Myanmar! "

"Baga!" Tanaka Shinichi slapped Oda across the face when he went up, "Are you boosting other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige?"

Oda shook his head, and said solemnly: "General, I admit that there are reasons why I underestimated the enemy for this defeat, but more importantly, the fighting power of the Chinese people has greatly surpassed that of our army. Please put aside your contempt." Heart, make early arrangements for retreat!"

"Baga! The Great Japanese Empire will not fail, attack me, and destroy the advance group on the mountain first!"

Tanaka Shinichi never expected that the combat effectiveness of the advance group would be so strong, but now that the arrow is ready, it has to be launched.

He immediately ordered the troops to encircle and attack...

……

At the same time, the prelude to the New Thirty Division's attack on Guijie also slowly kicked off.

Tang Shouzhi held a binoculars, looked at the smoky battlefield ahead, and said: "Let all the troops work harder, and also inform the troops of the news that the advance regiment has captured the mountain, so as to boost their morale, and let our people also work hard." Look, the advance team is about to hit Xinwei City, but we are still dawdling on Guijie!"

"Yes!" The herald immediately complied.

Sun Liren was very worried about the safety of the advance regiment, so he personally came to the headquarters of the New [-]th Division to sit in town.

"I reckon the advance team must have consumed a lot in the past two days. Even if they can fight, if the supplies can't keep up, it's useless. They won't be fighting the devils with bayonets! Let the logistics department organize a batch of supplies, Just take Guijie and go to Xinwei immediately!

Also, the 38th Regiment of the new 114th Division has also followed up, ordering the troops to stay around the clock, and let the 114th Regiment also help attack tonight, so as to take down Guijie after dawn! "

Sun Liren changed his previous style of taking his time and began to urge the New Thirty Division to take down Guijie as soon as possible.

After Sun Liren's order was issued, the main force of the New First Army attacked Guijie more violently.

Wherever the Japanese army resisted, piles of shells would quickly fall, and the bombed town of Guijie was full of flames and smoke.

The attacking New [-]th Division also adopted the tactics of attacking the mind. They called for an interpreter and shouted at the Japanese positions with a loudspeaker, telling them that the armored troops that had been reinforced had been completely wiped out by the advance regiment, and told them not to have illusions anymore. Put down your weapons and surrender quickly, maybe you can spare their lives.

The Japanese army didn't believe it at first, but as time went by, the reinforcements were delayed, and the remaining Japanese troops in Guijie began to waver.

Due to the continuous shelling and bombing, there are only less than [-] combat personnel left in the entire Guijie, and the number is still decreasing.

The fierce artillery fire of the New First Army made the Japanese army truly experience the taste of being completely abused.

This is simply an unfair fight.

The number and artillery fire of the new army are dozens of times more than theirs. As long as there are resisting buildings or bunkers, they will be blasted into ruins by the artillery fire!
The defenders in Guijie no longer have any confidence to continue to resist. All the artillery and heavy machine gun points have been destroyed. The poor Japanese soldiers can only resist with [-] big covers and limited grenades .

Basically, the enemy never used human life to launch a storm. They used artillery to bombard them when they were far away, and fired them with bazooka rockets when they were close, and even burned them with flamethrowers when they were closer.

This style of play is simply too invincible. The Japanese army's defense line in Guijie has been continuously broken through and compressed, and now it has been squeezed into a very small area in the town.

The result of continuing to resist, the Japanese army knew very well that the entire army was destroyed here!

At this time, the commander of the Japanese army in Guijie had the idea of ​​retreating, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Several officers finally could not stand the tedium in the headquarters.

After looking at each other, a staff officer said to the squadron leader: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Commander! We can't continue like this, this is a meaningless struggle! Now that the enemy has bypassed Guijie, it is useless to stay here." There is no value at all, it is just wasting the precious lives of soldiers, please make up your mind to break through?!"

Everyone nodded, expressing their agreement with the staff officer's opinion.

Among the Japanese army, not all were desperadoes, some were afraid of death, and some were unwilling to break the jade.

After a night of directing, the lieutenant assistant's face was exhausted, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He glanced at these subordinates weakly, and from the eyes of these people, he could see a strong desire to survive.

Zhongzuo thought for a moment, then said in a low voice: "But General Tanaka's order is to hold the enemy back. If you break through without authorization, you should know the consequences!"

A staff officer sneered and said, "We didn't receive the order to break out and retreat, but we also didn't get any reinforcements! The premise of Guijie's survival is whether it can get support, but now the reinforcements We have already been defeated by the enemy, so what reason do we have to continue to stick to this place, which is no longer possible to hold?"

The other team leader is a fanatical war lover. Looking at the group of people who wanted to be deserted officers, he shouted loudly: "Ba Ga! Do you want to disobey the order of the military department? You want to run for your life. It is a disgrace to the Great Japanese Empire!"

Suddenly, a shell landed above the underground headquarters, and a violent explosion occurred.

There was a violent shaking in the headquarters, and a supporting log above the head was broken, and it collapsed with a click, and a large amount of soil fell down with a hula.

The team leader who had just opened his mouth to reprimand was hit by a log on the spot and buried by the falling soil.

The officers and officers of the Japanese army in the headquarters suddenly let out a sound of exclamation, and ran around looking for a place to hide.

The dim light bulbs were also turned off at this time, and it became darkness.

After a while, someone lit an oil lamp, restoring some light to the dark headquarters.

Everyone has a look, okay!

His Excellency Zhongzuo actually hid under a table beside him.

After the lights came on, the lieutenant officer came out in embarrassment, coughed dryly, and said, "Now call the headquarters immediately, the enemy is bombarding Guijie wildly, please send troops for support!"

At this time, a correspondent in charge of the radio station said: "Your Excellency, the radio station was smashed by the falling soil!"

Everyone couldn't help but turn pale. Once the radio was broken, they completely lost the way to communicate with the outside world. This seemed to be a bit troublesome.

However, the staff officer who spoke just now showed joy on his face, and whispered to everyone: "Now that the radio station has been bombed by the enemy, we can no longer communicate with our superiors, so we can only decide whether to go or stay, please Your Excellency, Zhongzuo, make up your mind quickly!"

Everyone heard it, right?

Now that the radio station is broken, it is impossible to communicate with the higher-ups, and General Tanaka will no longer be able to give orders to stick to it.

If the radio station was not broken, based on what they knew about Tsuji Masanobu, that bastard would definitely order them to continue to guard your street and serve His Majesty the Emperor.

But it’s different now. The radio station was destroyed, so they couldn’t accept orders. Even if they chose to break out independently, so many people testified that the radio station was damaged afterwards, and the military department couldn’t punish them all. After all, the law does not blame the public.

The lieutenant officer showed a relieved expression, and after pretending to ponder for a while, he made up his mind and said: "Since this is the case, there is no point in staying and defending Guijie to the death. I agree with your opinion and organize a breakout immediately!"
