The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

In the distance, the Japanese headquarters.

Two tricycles cleared the way, followed by two armored vehicles, and finally several large trucks came from the other side of the valley along the dirt road, and soon stopped in the open space of the valley basin.

Seeing this convoy approaching, many Japanese soldiers stood at attention and saluted. Several Japanese military officers even trotted all the way, and opened the doors of the two armored vehicles respectfully. General, a major general of the Japanese army, and two major commanders of the Japanese army.

Seeing this scene, the commander of the reconnaissance company in the distance who was paying attention to the situation here was slightly excited. Unexpectedly, this valley was actually a division-level headquarters of the Japanese army. This time, a big fish was picked up.

This is indeed the headquarters of a division of the Japanese army, one of the several master regiments of the Japanese army stationed in Lashio, and the headquarters of the 22nd division of the little devil is stationed here. [

The 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, one of the Type A divisions, is one of the few Type A divisions in the Japanese army in Southeast Asia. Two years ago, the 22nd Division was still a Type B division, and it was later upgraded and expanded into a Type A division. Division, division head for the Japanese Lieutenant General Imamura Jiro.

The Japanese army deployed the 22nd Division and the 57th Division on the northern periphery of Lashio, with the purpose of blocking the Chinese army from going south. Jiro Imamura also moved his division headquarters from the city to this hidden valley for the convenience of front-line command.

Now, Imamura Jiro with a serious expression is returning from the front-line inspection. The front-line war is unfavorable, which makes Imamura Jiro feel heavy.In addition, the cooperation of the 57th Division failed to stop the advance of the Chinese army.At present, the Chinese army is advancing smoothly.

After Imamura Jiro got off the car, he led a group of little devil officers and entered the largest tent without stopping.

*********

The 1st Army Infantry Second Division and First Regiment.

Commander He has already been reported, and Commander He never imagined that he would find a very hidden command post of the Japanese army on his way of marching, and it might be a command post above the wing level.

Head He thought to himself.If it is a brigade-level headquarters of the Japanese army, it will be a lot of money. A brigade-level headquarters has at least one little devil major general. It is a great achievement to kill a little devil major general. Thinking of this, He Tuan Long slightly excited.

"First Battalion Commander! Second Battalion Commander! Third Battalion Commander!"

"Here!" Hearing his regiment leader calling himself, the three battalion commanders not far away immediately trotted over.They said in unison: "Leader! What instructions do you have?"

Commander He motioned his guards to open the military map they carried with them, and then pointed to the map and said, "First Battalion Commander, lead your first battalion, go around here quietly, and let me attack from this side of this valley." , there is a large headquarters of the Japanese army in the valley. Don’t be careless.”

Hearing that there was a large command post, the first battalion commander immediately said loudly: "Regiment commander! Don't worry, you will definitely complete the mission you deployed."

"Second Battalion Commander! Your task is to attack from the other side of the valley."

The Second Battalion Commander next to him had already had his eyes lit up, and he was naturally very excited when he learned that there was a large headquarters of the Japanese army.Immediately said: "Commander! We will definitely beat the little devil to pieces."

Head He nodded, then looked at the mountain next to it, which was only 300 meters high, and said, "The soldiers of the third battalion come with me. Everyone climbs up the mountain, rushes down the valley, and together with you, the headquarters of the Japanese army will be destroyed." Bring it to me."

Sanying also said loudly: "Yes!"

Now, the position of the regiment is only separated by a mountain from the headquarters of the Japanese army, and there is a mountain in the middle, a mountain that is only two to 300 meters high.

This north-south mountain has a flat terrain and sparse bushes on the mountain. It is very easy to climb to the top of the mountain. Head He personally led the third battalion and the troops directly under the regiment. It only took half an hour for everyone to climb the mountain. up the hill.

Standing on the top of the mountain, hidden behind a bush, Commander He took his own binoculars and carefully observed the bottom of the valley not far away. Commander He was condescending and could see clearly that it was indeed a large headquarters There are more than a dozen large and small tents, and at least a dozen large trucks and three or four armored vehicles are parked on the valley basin. [

In addition, the little devils patrolling the open space are not small, there are at least hundreds of them. Judging from the scale and experience, Head He feels that it should be at least a headquarters of the little devil brigade level, or it may be a Japanese army. Army Division Command.

Division headquarters!Thinking about it, Head He was very excited.

It was hard to calm down the excitement. Commander He saw with the binoculars that the first battalion and the second battalion had reached the entrances and exits on both sides of the valley, and had successfully blocked the valley. The Japanese army in the valley became a trap.

"Third Battalion Commander, use all the mortars in your battalion to bombard me with the Japanese headquarters at the bottom of the valley."

The bottom of the valley, about a few hundred meters from the top of the mountain, is right in the firing range of 60mm mortars. Not only the third battalion is equipped with 18 60mm mortars, but the mortar company directly under the regiment is also equipped with 12 mortars. 81 mm artillery gun.

Soon, these mortars were erected on the top of the mountain. Mortars have very low requirements on the terrain. Even on the top of the mountain, they are very convenient to erect. Eighteen 18mm mortars and twelve 60mm artillery mortars have been erected one after another.

"Pass my order, send out the signal flare, and prepare for battle!"

A dazzling flare rose into the sky, and almost all the soldiers in the regiment saw it. Of course, the Japanese army in the valley also saw it.

The Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the valley saw a signal flare suddenly rising from the top of the mountain, and these Japanese soldiers became nervous. A little devil, the major, even immediately raised his binoculars and hurriedly looked at the mountain not far away.

At first glance, the little devil almost dropped his binoculars on the ground, and there were a large number of Chinese soldiers looming on the top of the mountain. If it wasn't for the telescope, the little devil would not be able to spot the soldiers on the top of the mountain. The soldiers were all fighting in the field. Camouflage uniforms are very concealable under the cover of trees and shrubs.

"Baga! It's all Chinese troops!"

As soon as the little devil Shaozuo finished shouting angrily, there were a lot of sharp whistling sounds almost at the same time, and a total of 30 mortars on the top of the mountain began to show their power.

"Boom, boom, boom>

Dense mortar shells exploded on the valley basin one after another. The 30 rounds of rapid "fire" from 10 mortars was very terrifying. The mortar shells were simply overwhelming.

Many little devils were blown up before they had time to react. Several trucks parked on the basin were also blown up, even one of the little devil's armored vehicles was blown up. This armored vehicle was hit by several mortar shells in succession. hit.

Several of the little devil's tents were also destroyed. The head of the little devil's division, Imamura Jiro, was lucky. The big tent where Imamura Jiro was located was not hit by the bomb.

"Your Excellency, Head of the Division! Quickly retreat!"

A little devil commander was not slow to react. Thinking of the overwhelming explosions outside, the little devil commander immediately persuaded them to retreat. From such dense explosions, it can be guessed that the person who came was not good.

Jiro Imamura immediately straddled his command saber and hurried out of the tent. As soon as he got out of the tent, Jiro Imamura heard several explosions coming from behind him, and his big tent was blown away.

Imamura Jiro broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

At this time, there was a loud cry from the top of the mountain, and hundreds of soldiers, armed with weapons, rushed down one after another.

Seeing so many soldiers rushing down, the little devils turned pale with fright, as did Jiro Imamura, his face turned a little pale. [

Imamura Jiro staggered and ran towards an armored vehicle not far away in a panic. At this time, the shelling on the top of the mountain had ended, and one of the Japanese armored vehicles was not destroyed. Imamura Jiro obviously took a fancy to this armored vehicle , ready to use this armored vehicle to escape.

Shocking shouts rang out from both ends of the valley. Soldiers from the first and second battalions also rushed over with their weapons in hand. The soldiers charged and shot at the same time, and the little devils who resisted were killed one after another.

Seeing a large number of Chinese soldiers in the valleys on both sides, Imamura Jiro ran faster, leading a group of little devil officers to the armored vehicle in the distance.

The distance of more than 100 meters, why is it so far today, Imamura Jiro can't wait to run to this armored vehicle earlier, then board this armored vehicle, and drive at full speed to kill a bloody road.

After some difficulty, Jiro Imamura ran in front of this armored vehicle. Jiro Imamura quickly opened the door, crawled into it, and hurriedly said: "Quick! Open the way quickly."

The driver of the little devil also sneaked in, and immediately started the armored vehicle after receiving the order. The rest of the little devil officers who ran over with Jiro Imamura, including a major general, two chiefs, and several lieutenants and majors .

A group of little devil officers ignored the armored vehicle that had already started, and slammed into it. Soon, the armored vehicle was tightly packed, and at least seven or eight people got in. A group of little devil officers, Like stuffed sardines.

There are also some middle and low-level officers who failed to get in. They desperately climbed onto the roof of the car, or hung on the car. Now, it is important for the little devils to escape.

In the distance, a soldier pointed a 40mm rocket launcher at the armored vehicle. Seeing that there were many little devil officers hanging from the outside of the armored vehicle, the soldiers couldn't help laughing. At the same time, they calmly aimed at the armored vehicle. , fired a rocket.
