Tang Qiuli was quite satisfied with the progress of the Southwest Pacific Campaign. He said that he took over the command. In fact, each corps is now in a state of independent operations. He held the principle of non-interference in specific commands and let the commanders of the corps relax. Let's fight with all hands and feet, and the troops attacking Sumatra Island are under the specific command of Zhao Yuhe. As the supreme commander, he doesn't have many specific things to do!

On various battlefields in the Southwest Pacific, the independent divisions were fighting in full swing. Tang Qiuli, the supreme commander, was a little leisurely. However, he could not ask about the situation of the various corps' attacks on the Japanese army, but only cleared up the "Southwest Empire of Japan." He personally mastered and commanded the battle progress of these puppet troops of the Pacific Imperial Association Army.

Originally, relying on being locals and being familiar with the terrain, these Imperial Association troops did cause great trouble and considerable losses to the rear of the various regiments of the Independent Division at the beginning. Moreover, these puppet troops, seemingly I don't know how many catties I have.

Or perhaps the initial successes swelled the confidence of the commanders of the puppet army, and even on multiple battlefields, they put on a posture of confronting the field troops of the independent division and fought regular battles. The arrogance was rampant, even more rampant than the Japanese army retreating all the way.

The chief of staff of the Japanese base camp, General Mitsuko Minai, who was in charge of commanding the retreat, and the Japanese garrison commanders on the various islands were naturally happy to see these indigenous armed forces of the Imperial Association Army fighting the Independent Division. It was given to the Royal Association Army.

But after they really fought against the field troops of the Independent Division, the commanders of the Royal Association Army realized that the quality of their troops and soldiers was really not enough.Even if it is replaced by the cannons of the imperial army, it will not work.

A battle in Kailong, which took place in the central part of Kalimantan Island, was a typical example of the Royal Association Army who did not know the heights of the sky and the earth.More than 7 puppet soldiers from the Kalimantan First Corps and Second Corps were lying dead everywhere.The heavy blow of the blood splashed Mahakam River.

More than 7 puppet troops from the First Kalimantan Corps and the Second Corps of the Japanese Imperial Army joined forces to set up a blocking line on the south bank of the Mahakam River, intending to block the troops of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the Independent Division heading south from the direction of Kapit. ,

The troops heading south from Kapit were Major General Feng Jiwu, commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, commanding three mechanized field brigades, the first, second, and third brigades, and one tank brigade.An artillery brigade has a total of more than [-] troops.

Zhang Hansheng, Chief of Staff of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, handed a piece of information to Feng Jiwu, "Commander, according to the information collected by the reconnaissance force, there is a Gary from the Imperial Army on the south bank of the Mahakam River that we have to cross. The first and second regiments of Mandan Island have more than [-] troops, and they have already built a large number of fortifications on the south bank. It seems that they have been prepared for a long time!"

"Imperial Association Army?" Feng Jiwu frowned.Said: "Did the teacher refer to the puppet army mentioned in the enemy's report? It's really strange. The little devil ran south with all his might. This group of puppet troops has come to the top. They are not small!"

Zhang Hansheng was also happy, and said: "It is the puppet army mentioned in the report of the division referring to the enemy. Although it is not to be feared, there are more than 7 people, and it will bring great trouble to us crossing the river!"

"Call the brigade commanders and chiefs of staff to the headquarters for a meeting!" Feng Jiwu thought for a while and said.

the content of the meeting.Focusing on the issue of how to fight these puppet troops, Jin Tieshan, the commander of the first brigade, is a mighty general under Feng Jiwu.The first to speak, "Commander, what is there to study, isn't it just more than 7 puppet troops, can it be harder to fight than little devils?"

"In this way, hand over the task of crossing the river to our first brigade, and guarantee that within a day, the puppet army on the south bank will be beaten to the ground and run away without a trace!"

The other two brigade commanders had different opinions. Qi Fengwu, the commander of the second brigade, suggested that it is better to be more cautious. The little devils retreated across the board, but the puppet troops dared to come forward. I haven't fought this group of puppet troops head-on. I don't know what they are!

Several people, including Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng, started arguing. Feng Jiwu got impatient and stood up and said, "There is nothing to argue about. Isn't it just a line of defense? What we are most afraid of now is to fight positional warfare. If the army puts up a blocking posture, it is courting death!"

"Order the tank brigade and artillery brigade to immediately build artillery positions on the north bank of the Mahakam River. Tanks will be used as artillery. In addition, the heavy artillery regiments and rocket artillery battalions of each brigade will be concentrated to form an echelon artillery deployment. The location is to be bombarded with superimposed coverage, the range of the bombardment must reach more than ten kilometers in width, and the official attack time is set at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning!"

"Also, Chief of Staff, you should immediately contact Commander Le Yiqin of the Southern Flying Group and ask him to send at least three bomber regiments to provide us with air fire support. Rabbits!"

Speaking of this, Feng Jiwu smiled viciously, "The combination of ground and air firepower, three-dimensional strikes, and the fortifications of the puppet army are not enough. The south bank of the Mahakam River is destined to become a slaughterhouse. Since these puppet troops dare to come to replace the little devil After that, stay here forever!"

In the early morning of the next day, there was a thin mist on both sides of the Mahakam River. The climate unique to the tropical rainforest, although the sun had not yet come out, was already sweltering. The puppet troops of the First Corps and the Second Corps, although they already know that more than 5 soldiers of the independent division are on the north bank, facing themselves across the river, but the soldiers of the puppet army are not very worried or afraid in their hearts. I have never been beaten, so I don't know where it hurts!

The eastern sky has already been stained with a layer of red, and it is a rare sunny day, but in this sunny day, tens of thousands of puppet soldiers who are still asleep on the south bank of the Mahakam River heard the sound of bursts. There was a loud bang of thunder, and the soldiers of the puppet army who were on guard were dumbfounded to see that countless bolides flew across the nearly [-]-meter-wide Mahakam River and smashed towards them overwhelmingly.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the three main brigades of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps began their attack on the more than [-] puppet troops defending the south bank of the Mahakam River on time.

More than 800 artillery pieces of various calibers formed three artillery groups, and more than 500 tanks were divided into three assault groups. In the first round of shelling, more than 1000 artillery pieces hit the ground. The ground was trembling, and many cannons were flying continuously, covering the puppet army's position on the opposite bank in a steel storm!

A few minutes later, six "Thunder" rocket artillery battalions joined the ranks of shelling. After each rocket landed with piercing screams, there was a sea of ​​flames. Ten minutes later, the three bomber regiments of the Southern Aviation Group of the Air Force Under the escort of two fighter regiments, they joined the battlefield, and heavy air bombs fell on the heads of the soldiers of the puppet army!

Superimposed bombardment, this is the result of Feng Jiwu's request. He doesn't want to waste too much time on the puppet army. It just so happens that more than 7 puppet troops don't know whether to live or die, and they block the knife for the little devil, thinking that across a river, there will be reliance Fear, put on a face-to-face posture, he will not be stingy with guns and bombs.

The bombardment lasted for more than an hour. The artillery and bombardment plowed the puppet army's position on the other side of the river several times, which greatly changed the terrain. After the bombardment, Feng Jiwu simply issued an order, "Order the aviation unit, Pursuing the bombing, the artillery fire extended, and the troops began to cross the river!"

During the process of crossing the river, the troops of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps did not encounter any resistance. Even if they fired a shot from the other side of the river, after they landed on the other side, everything after the shelling made the veterans on the battlefield feel ashamed. Smacking his teeth, "Our Commander Feng is ruthless!"

According to the situation obtained later, Feng Jiwu came to the central area of ​​Kalimantan Island, and this time the ground-air firepower joined hands, superimposed shelling, and caused a catastrophe to the first and second corps of the Royal Association Army Kalimantan Island. , The puppet army of more than 7 people, the last remaining, less than 3 people, nearly [-] puppet soldiers fell in an hour of bombing and shelling.

If Feng Jiwu turned the south bank of the Mahakam River into a slaughterhouse, it became a reality. The disaster was not only the strong ground and air firepower of the independent division, but also the stupidity of the commanders of the puppet army. They sent more than 7 soldiers to separate Deployed on two lines of defense less than three kilometers apart, and the troops are highly dense, this is a tragedy. The artillery group and aviation bomber group of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps cover all aspects of shelling and bombing. All the soldiers of the puppet army are within the range of firepower!

Feng Jiwu commanded the three main brigade troops. After crossing the Mahakam River, he continued to advance to the south of Kalimantan Island without stopping. Behind him, he left a huge cemetery. Said that this year, the Mahakam River, which is already full of rain, and the trees and weeds on the south bank have grown crazy. If you cut off a piece of bark or cut down a piece of weeds, you can smell a faint smell. The smell of blood!

The battle that took place in the central part of Kalimantan Island spread like wind throughout the entire Southwest Pacific battlefield. All the commanders of the Royal Association Army were so frightened that the back of their heads felt cold. They all started with indigenous armed forces and accepted The weapons, equipment and training of the Imperial Army, I think they are no better than the First Corps and Second Corps of the Royal Association Army of Kalimantan Island. It seems that the work for the Imperial Army is almost like courting death?

Since then, none of the Imperial Association troops on the various battlefields dared to open up against the Independent Division troops and fight head-on. Instead, they took advantage of the local snakes' advantage to avoid the attacking edge of the Independent Division's various regiments, and adopted the method of biting Bite and run tactics.

However, after Tang Qiuli gave the order to all the participating troops of the Independent Division to wipe out the Imperial Association Army, the days of these puppet troops are coming to an end!
