The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"Isn't this a bit too cruel? It's a joy to kill, but the fire it caused..."

Bai Chongxi and his gang felt something inappropriate from the bottom of their hearts.

To attack the Japanese army and kill the enemy, all means were used, regardless of whether the means were cruel or not.For veterans like them who have survived many battles, their minds have been sharpened to be as cold and hard as steel, and they will not be moved with inexplicable compassion just because of the miserable death of thousands of Japanese soldiers.Up to now, every person who died under the command of the general has gone to sea.Zhuge Liang's feeling of hurting Tianhe because too many people were burned to death would never exist!

Of course, Mr. Zhuge is a master of Taoism, and the most taboo thing is that there are too many killing karma in his hands, and he burned his rattan armored soldiers to extinction. In addition, people in those days are indeed not as sharp as modern wars. The general who came out has no concept of the dead.

People like Zhu Bin have all seen the example of the destruction of the entire planet. They killed tens of millions of Japanese with their own hands, and there is no psychological barrier at all.The so-called understanding of thoughts will not form psychological barriers, it is true.

But it's hard to say if you put a big fire on it.In northern Myanmar, it is a dry season from November to April and May of the following year. Even if there is no rain, the sun will dry very quickly. There are too many dry branches and leaves on the ground. Once a fire is caused, it may spread everywhere. .It would be bad if it affected the transfer of their own army.

Another thing that cannot be said is that they are very uncomfortable with Zhu Bin's habit of witnessing particularly fierce battle scenes.Those who didn't know, thought this guy was an extremely bloodthirsty, violent and brutal leader.Since ancient times, such emperors and generals have never ended well!

Zhu Bin had some thoughts and guesses, but he waved his hands in disapproval when they were worrying unnecessarily, and said, "It's not in our country anyway. As long as we can save our soldiers from dying, it doesn't matter how much we spoil it!"

Understood.Bai Chongxi sighed secretly in his heart, these devils deserved to meet such a murderous god as Zhu Bin, since they chose to fight, then don't expect to be soft on this side, think it's unlucky!

As for the wonderful annihilation battle directed by the special unit of Yuan Zhi and others.They can only reciprocate with admiration, but this is something most people can't learn.Let me ask, who can get so many advanced equipment from Zhu Bin, and cooperate flexibly in a systematic way?Difficult, too difficult!

Zhu Bin was afraid that they would not understand, and he explained with great interest: "Everyone has seen it? This is the advanced warfare model we want to focus on developing for the future. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched to fight in the field. It is outdated to engage in long battles for positions under the cover of trenches and barbed wire! Our goal is to infiltrate and attack with the most lean and short force, and suddenly attack to occupy or destroy the enemy's operation nodes, and then use them For the purpose of investigation and guidance, use powerful, high-speed, and highly concealed lethal weapons to focus on destroying their vital forces."

If it was said that there was such a saying in theory before but could not be imagined, then now, Liu Shiyi and Bai Chongxi are senior officers who are not Zhu Bin's direct descendants.It was the first live broadcast of the true power of this tactic.

Especially in unfamiliar enemy battlefields, or the current tropical mountain jungles.The amount of intelligence and data between the enemy and the enemy is seriously asymmetric. Advanced aerial reconnaissance and information interception play a very limited role. Fighting for positions with the enemy will not only last for a long time, but also cost a lot of money and involve a lot of troops.The material supplies needed, and even the national power involved, are enough to bankrupt a powerful country.

If they follow their usual practice, all 100 million first-line troops in the third war zone will be dispatched as soon as they come up.With advanced weapons and equipment and excellent training, before the troops of the big powers arrived, they forcibly advanced southward, annihilating the French colonial army in Vietnam, the British army in Myanmar and Laos, and the colonial troops in Thailand and Malaya, and even occupied the entire Indochina Peninsula.

Ok?It can definitely be done, and the speed will be too fast for the great powers to react.But what about after the occupation?That trouble will be so big that no one can imagine it!

The Indochina Peninsula has been colonized by foreign powers for many years, and all kinds of deep-rooted ruling forces have influenced the [-] to [-] million indigenous people here, blindly, and they will not have much affection for the Chinese occupying forces. ---Don't forget, for a hundred years, Chinese and overseas Chinese in these countries, often in a short period of time, they are hardworking, smart and capable, and get rich quickly, and they can obtain benefits that make all the aboriginals jealous.

And these lazy and stupid aborigines can't do it themselves, and they don't want to do it, but they envy and hate the wealth of the Chinese. When they are instigated by the foreign colonists, they initiate robbery, killing and exclusion against the Chinese. I don't know how many times it has happened. .The hatred for each other has grown.

It is unimaginably difficult for the Chinese occupying forces to get their support.And under the control of the foreign devils, the guerrillas who hid in the mountains and assassinated the saboteurs would completely hold back the million-strong army and have no time to do anything else.Just providing supplies and ammunition for these millions of people in China will be exhausted. When the time comes, the great powers will be exhausted if they come from other places.

So Zhu Bin made it clear from the very beginning that he would not take the initiative to cross the border, would not seek to occupy the territory of Southeast Asia, and would not expect or simply do not want to rule the hundreds of millions of indigenous people here, and just turn this place into a battlefield.

how to spell?This is the way Zhu Bin's subordinates personally demonstrated today.First defeat Imphal, forcing the big powers to send troops to rescue, and then use elite squads to harass and delay in the middle, dragging down their deployment.Once the assembly of a large group of enemy troops is confirmed, then dispatch powerful bombers without hesitation to take them away!

Just like now, two of the three infantry regiments of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army were killed, and one had to take care of hundreds of injuries, which was basically delayed.Without them, the armored cavalry, engineers, and supply troops would be helpless, equating to disintegrating most of this huge elite combat force of 3 to [-] people!

Want to reinforce them?Okay, but the roads are still those roads, so you don't worry about repeating the same mistakes?

In addition, it is also possible to open up passages, but don't forget, what kind of terrain is here!The continuous ups and downs are full of mountains, the sky and the sun are full of trees, and everywhere are full of pits.Even if the great powers concentrated their efforts and prepared for a full year, they could barely manage to create such a few crude passages across the peninsula.If you want to create a thoroughfare similar to the plain, dream!

The best way to use it is air transportation, but the premise is that you have to fight for air supremacy first!If you can't beat the Chinese Air Force, everything is false.Under the cover of the dense forest, donkeys, horses and mules are used to carry them a little bit.Even if they are exhausted, they can't supply it!

So far, Bai Chongxi and Liu Shiyi are completely convinced.They figured it out, and it didn't take much. Thirty to fifty elite infiltrated special operations teams of five or ten were airdropped into the jungle, each looking for a main force of the enemy and calling for air strikes, they could completely mess up a battlefield. up.

Even if the enemy knows their existence and wants to search and encircle and suppress them, it shouldn't be too easy for the five or ten people to move and hide.To supply them, all you need is a small umbrella bag.The entire expenditure, compared with the large-scale mobilization, is more than a thousand times smaller!

This also understands why the third war zone was established three or four years ago, and hundreds of thousands of main forces have been confronting each other on the front line, while the rest of the more than one million people have been trained in rotation at the rear. Building and even farming….really.They are all using them as a cover to mislead the enemy!

Bai Chongxi didn't say anything, he was very aware of his backward ideas.I'm afraid I don't have much say in the current war.Liu Shiyi's stiff neck also had to calm down and think about how to fix it under his own conditions.

After Yuan Zhi and others completed the task, they naturally looked for the next target and continued to toss.The coalition forces that have suffered a great loss are in big trouble here!The other forces of the 55th Division, who were blocked in the long mountain passage and couldn't advance or retreat, were thrown into chaos. There was no central coordination and command, and when they marched in separate directions to cooperate with each other, something went wrong!

Just one day later.When its armored cavalry unit crossed the border and arrived in the mountains northeast of Imphal, it was caught by a special team that had been detected early and passed their coordinates to the Air Force. The plane that took off from Imphal Airport A bombing brigade went immediately.Using thermite to burn, cloud bombs, and napalm bombs took turns to ravage, turning the mountainous area of ​​about ten square kilometers where they are alive into a sea of ​​​​fire and hell!

The entire armored wing, except for a very small number of survivors who were delayed, the main force was all wiped out!

Another day later, the supply unit of the 55th Division, whose retreat was cut off, had only been entangled with a few attacking forces for less than a night, and the main force led by Liao Yaoxiang caught up at dawn!First, the indiscriminate bombardment of large-caliber artillery completely messed up their deployment, and then the tank troops charged to crush the blockade, and then used the overwhelming force to raid and kill them in all directions. There were less than five survivors left. One hundred panicked and retreated into the surrounding wild mountains and forests.

These Japanese soldiers didn't know that even the natives dare not enter the nearby mountains and forests. It was a death zone that could not swallow enough of the living. What awaited them was endless fear and torture!

So far, the 55th Division has been basically lost, and the rescue of Imphal has become a big joke.

The remaining two divisions of the Japanese 15th Army had just dispatched to counterattack. Xue Yue's armored group and Sun Liren's division rushed forward on both sides. Nothing can be lost!

Mandalay is the transportation center of the whole of Myanmar. Once it is lost, not only the northern battlefield, but also the Thai battlefield in the east will be cut off. The gates of Yangon will be lost!

The strange thing is that when the commanders of the British army heard the news of the disastrous defeat of the 55th Division, they did not send condolences at the first time, but reflexive suspicions. , exaggerating losses, so as to strive for more benefits.They are lying!

So Lord Alexander and others came to the conclusion that the Japanese are unreliable, and we have to solve our problems by ourselves!He ordered Major General Scott to lead the first division and the supplementary No.17 division, together with the Burmese colonial army and the troops brought out from India, adding up to about 3 people, to set off from Mandalay to urgently reinforce Imphal .

Relatively speaking, this road was developed earlier, the terrain was flatter, and the speed of action was several times faster.They took trucks, jeeps, tanks and armored vehicles provided by the Americans, crossed the Qindun River in a mighty way, and arrived in Singal without hindrance.But here, their rapid march came to an abrupt end. A Chinese paratrooper unit equipped with powerful heavy weapons and under the cover of a large number of air forces blocked the way with the fortifications built by the British before!

The anxious Major General Scott did not take it seriously for the so-called strong fighting force of the Chinese.I always felt that the Japanese army was exaggerating. They rushed up with a brigade and a regiment of tanks carelessly. As a result, before they ran ten kilometers, they were beaten up by the sudden attack aircraft group, leaving hundreds of dead and wounded, and fled in embarrassment!

Major General Masaji Araki of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army who brought a wing to help gloated over his misfortune.Xin said that now you know that the pot is made of iron?The Yingmi ghosts and beasts on Bageya Road finally realized the hardships and pains of the Imperial Army, hehe, they deserve it!

Of course, Major General Scott was not reconciled to suffering such a big loss, and furiously demanded that the Air Force immediately reinforce him, and he must kill all the hateful Chinese planes and clear a smooth path for them to advance.

At this time, he also understood why there are so many narrow mountains and winding roads along the way.The enemy did not carry out interference and interception, because of the vegetation and environment there, air strikes cost a lot but achieved little. Unlike here, they have begun to enter the flat Imphal Plain, lacking the cover of dense tall vegetation and steep mountains. The troops are completely exposed to the air force's overlook!

Major General Masaji Araki also figured out one thing.What the British said before that "the British army is still resisting tenaciously" is simply a big lie!May I ask if that is the case, how did the Chinese Airborne Forces draw their strength to block the southern passage?Such a large area.Unless they completely wiped out the defenders, they would not have the power to calmly mobilize so many artillery and air forces...Damn it, and the air force!An airport suitable for Chinese use must have been built here!

Shoji Araki gritted his teeth with hatred, damn Yingmi!When did you lose the battlefield?The enemy's air force can be sent to fight, has it been like that from the beginning?

55th Division.What a shame!

Shoji Araki immediately reported the news to his superiors, and then Terauchi Shouichi came to MacArthur and Alexander angrily to settle accounts, threw the telegram in front of them fiercely, and shouted sharply: "This is what you have been asking for all along. Are you honest with each other and sincerely cooperate? But why did you know that Imphal has been occupied by the Chinese army? You didn’t report it, so that our 55th Division misjudged the enemy’s situation and caused such heavy casualties?!”

The old devil is distressed!The ones concentrated here are all the elite veterans of the Kwantung Army. If one dies, one less, they are the real Japanese army. If they die, it means that the inheritance has been completely lost.Damn Yingmi ghost animal, there is no reason to kill a division alive!

It has to be said that being a general has a thick skin.Lord Alexander replied solemnly: "In fact, we were also confused by wrong information. Or Major General Slim's telegram was sent too hastily, and he didn't make it very clear. Of course, after all, we are still not sure that the Chinese troops have really occupied the Imphal. I believe that the soldiers of the British Empire will not admit defeat easily, and they must still be fighting fiercely."

"Intense, you fucking fuck!"

Terauchi Shouichi really wanted to use a Chinese swear word to express his anger, not a fool can see the problem.He was very fortunate that he didn't send the 15th and 33rd divisions there, otherwise, he might have filled in a hole of unknown size!

It doesn't make sense to reason, and he can also see that the coalition forces are actually very unfamiliar with China's strategies and tactics, and they are completely unsuited to it.No, we must consider the way out!

In front, after the British army, who had become angry and angry, gathered the armored brigade, they launched a fierce attack again. The air force arrived and started a fierce entanglement. The casualties rose every minute.

However, at this moment, what they were most worried about finally happened!Without warning, the main force of the South China Sea Fleet quietly appeared on the east side of Singapore. Taking advantage of the darkness, the twin-rotor heavy-lift helicopters dispatched by the "Fish Nest" diving mothership carried dozens of super modified fighters, transported by more than a dozen air-cushion landing craft. An elite regiment of marines evaded its patrol forces and landed on the beach, and rushed in from behind in one go, easily eliminating the few British troops protecting the fort.

Subsequently, a large number of landing ships sent up as many as 2 elites of a division, completely occupied Singapore, and then left a guided missile cruiser to lead four heavy cruisers and a dozen destroyers to defend. The main force was surrounded by battleships. Through Malacca, it is approaching Chittagong on the Bay of Bengal!

This action was as fast as thunder, and the coalition forces did not react at all. The precious radar they worked so hard to build was useless, and the coastal patrol ship was easily sunk, without any effect; He didn't see any traces of the South China Sea Fleet at all, and he didn't know how they got here!

Of course, no one would tell them that Zhu Bin's subordinates used to use unconventional means, such as turning on the "mirage system" for optical stealth camouflage or something.There are advanced anti-submarine technology and submarines to open the way, and there will be no potential military forces or transport ships of the coalition forces to find traces.

By the time they knew the exact news, the situation was completely out of their control!

At this point, if they still can't see the other party's strategy clearly, then their wisdom will be blinded in vain.Lord Alexander nervously telegraphed Scott: "Retake Imphal as quickly as possible at all costs, otherwise, we will be in big trouble!" (To be continued...)
