The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

It has been a long time since Sun Liren waited for the horn of attack to sound.

From the start of the counterattack battle, he led his men all the way, almost without any resistance, and killed them from the direction of Jingdong to Taungzhi. If the headquarters had not ordered the coordination and coordination, he would not be greedy for success, and he would have led 38 The division directly cut off the back route of Mandalay and completely blocked the enemies inside.

This kind of confidence comes from his understanding of the equipment and fighting will of his subordinate troops, and it is also caused by his arrogance---at least he is a top student from the top military school in the United States. He has been depressed for many years, like him People with such qualifications have already become army commanders, but in the end they can only become division commanders, and they feel all kinds of unhappy.

He has made up his mind that he wants to make achievements in this war and show his performance to the bosses around him. He, the leader of the tax police headquarters who is isolated everywhere, is not just bragging, he must have two Just keep the brush in place!

The 38th Division was trained by him like steel and iron, like arms and fingers, and under the command, he marched forward bravely. There was no one who was timid in front of the enemy.

It was a good thing that the Japanese army retreated sharply again, and the road ran too smoothly, without any sense of accomplishment!

For half a month in a row, the troops of the entire division were all lined up in front of Taunggyi, staring at the two strategic points of Mindela and Ren'anqiang. In his mind, Mandalay in the north was already destined to be taken. Without even waiting for him to strike, Liao Yaoxiang, Dai Anlan and Xue Yue who came down from the north all scrambled to share the food. There are more wolves and less meat!

Then the enemy forces in Mandalay.Is it really weak?actually not!

First of all, two half-day army divisions were concentrated here.They are the Morioka Izumi Division of the 16th Division, the Yuitsu Dohashi Division of the 48th Division, and the 33rd Infantry Brigade of the third division of the Sakurai Province of the 33rd Division. [

These troops add up to about 5 people, all of whom are veterans of the Kwantung Army and equipped with a full range of American munitions, especially the two divisions of the 14th Army, which have just been reinforced from the south.I haven't fought any battles, I'm not very tired, I have more "medicine" and so on, and I'm still full of confidence.

Then there is the 2nd Army commanded by Lieutenant General Parker. As the deployment force of the US military here, half of it is dragged behind, and the general reinforcements go to the Imphal battlefield.Now retreating in embarrassment.

The strength of the British has basically been withdrawn, so there is nothing to say.Generally speaking, the frontal force in Mandalay is 15 main forces, and with the addition of [-] soy sauce troops, it is also a [-] army.If everyone in Imphal can withdraw.It's no problem to collect [-].

It is conceivable that such a large group of people squeezed into a narrow battlefield around Mandalay, and the density was so high that it was almost unprecedented.

To deal with such a large group of enemies.The difficulty can also be imagined, you must know that this is not a plain road.It is a rare piece of flat land in the tropical mountains. When deploying troops, a division is the limit. Flexibility is more important than quantity.

What was intercepted in front of Taunggyi was the 48 troops of the 2th Division of the Japanese Army. These days, the Japanese were unconvinced by all kinds of small tricks, constantly using squadron-level units to test from more than a dozen directions. Let the Chinese recuperate steadily, on the other hand, they also urgently need to let the troops familiarize themselves with the battlefield as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard and become a mess.

Facts have proved that this approach is very effective, and it is exactly what Sun Liren needs most.

His 38th Division didn't fight much either!I ran all the way here, basically on my way, and there were very few battles. The troops were holding back their energy and had nowhere to go, and they didn't have enough experience. Now it's all right, the Japanese provide whetstones for free.

So Sun Liren did not hesitate to split the troops into separate units, with the company as the unit, the battalion as the command organization, and the regiment as the regional combat center. He boldly let them go out and start a crazy jungle killing battle with the Japanese army!

At the beginning, the number of casualties rose extremely quickly, reaching 200 per day at one point. This drew severe criticism from the higher-ups, but Sun Liren pushed back.A week later, the number dropped rapidly, but the results of the battle continued to increase. Now, although it cannot be said to be one-sided, it is still firmly in the upper hand. The ratio of enemy-friend exchanges is only a lot more!

The 38th Division, that is also a motorized infantry division with more than 2 people!Including a tank regiment, a mobile force of a light armored regiment, and the rest of the troops are equipped with a very high proportion of vehicles, which can be described as luxurious and rich.

The most important thing is that the advantages of weapons and equipment have been fully utilized.Soldiers have anti-insertion boards available, multi-functional carrying equipment, sufficient medicines and water, advanced camouflage uniforms, carry capacity twice as much as that of the opponent, and complete aerial defense. For support, there are mobile radio stations equipped up to the platoon level, and there are all-round intelligence support and coordination...

They are all good things that they have never heard of before, and they have never seen it before. The whole shotgun replacement is considered small.

With the overwhelming advantages of various equipment, once the tenacious and desperate Japanese army passed the initial madness and figured out the combat ideas and tactics, the rest of the battle would be easy to fight. The rigid and dogmatic Japanese army and the newly formed elite Central Army veterans began to give full play to the Chinese's ability to be flexible and adaptable. After getting familiar with the terrain and environment, they were out of control!

Up to now, basically most of the first-line infantry units have gone through more than one actual combat drill, and the remaining mechanized units can't be dismantled and separated to find faults. This makes the two regiment leaders feel very uncomfortable, but they don't have to I've waited too long, because the time has finally come! [

After Sun Liren received the telegram, he immediately summoned the leaders of the various regiments. There were six regiment leaders in total, all of whom were veterans and subordinates of the Tax Police Headquarters. If Zhu Bin hadn't dismantled the Central Army, he probably would have had no chance. Pulling these old brothers back and continuing to carry guns and fight together, this feeling is very different this time.

When everyone arrived, he looked at the audience with a serious military order, and when he saw that there was no noise, he spoke: "You are all old brothers, so I won't talk too much nonsense. This battle must be fought well! To what extent? I don't know. I want to see how determined you are! Commander Zhu once promised me that if the 38th Division has enough people and behaves well, we will be promoted to the army later. As for whether we can be independent in the future Standing on one side, becoming a group army, a legion, or even a front army, I can't decide alone. It depends on everyone, on you, and on our more than [-] Paoze brothers. Work hard together! Yang Du once said, "If the country of China dies, Unless all Hunanese are dead! Most of our group are Hunanese, and Hunanese have kindness. They have bones, ambition, and are not afraid of death! So, let me ask you, can you do it!"

"Of course!"

No one admits cowardice.Not just proud of the group.He is also proud of his birth, and he can't fall into the dignity of tens of millions of old family members. For this breath, he is willing to die!

The Hunan people these days are just so bone-headed.Don't you see, the earliest revolution.Are the places that can be the most tormenting all in Hunan?How many of the original Whampoa generals came from Hunan?Only Chu has talent, not a lie.

Sun Liren's words are not aggressive, they are his own true inner thoughts, and he can say whatever he wants, and he doesn't need to hide it.

Not a single coward, he nodded: "Okay! I'll wait and see! Now, the command of the front army has issued an order, and our first goal is to defeat the Japanese army in front of us! You all remember it for me, and stop us. In front of us are the Japanese devils! It is our blood feud! When we were the Central Army, we fought against them, and the result was very disgraceful. This is a shame as a soldier! Today, we will give this face to Pick it up! My request is, no prisoners! Listen clearly, it is to completely annihilate them, not to defeat them, not to defeat them, but to kill them all without leaving them alone! Can it be done?!"

"can!"

"Because of my weak head, I don't want to kill Little Japan completely, so I'll see you with my head up!"

The atmosphere was suddenly ignited, and all kinds of rhetoric filled the meeting room.

Sun Liren waved his hand, stopped the noise, and ordered: "It's a deal! Next, I will deploy specific combat missions..."

Without the help of the chief of staff, he opened the three-dimensional projection map himself, and distributed the battle strategy he had carefully prepared for many days. After just one hour, everything was confirmed, and then the regiments were dismantled and sent out. The army of more than 2 people , a sudden sensation!

Like an extremely sophisticated machine, or a peerless beast gathered in the jungle waiting for a long time, the more than 2 elite soldiers who have been instilled with a bloodthirsty atmosphere by the leader do not need more mobilization at all. Like a tiger, it suddenly rushed out from all directions!

Sun Liren is not the kind of reckless commander who fights with his head covered. The military theory he learned in the United States is combined with the latest strategy and tactics that he recently reworked at the National Defense University. The set of things he summed up is actually very useful. Meaning across time.

The ground troops have just started to move, and the first to dispatch is the air force!He personally coordinated the front army, summoned more than 100 attack planes from the rear, divided them into several waves, and used the determined Japanese strongholds and hidden points, key passes and fortresses on the offensive route, and others in the mutual probing and attacking of the enemy and us in the past few days. The possible large-scale artillery positions, luggage distribution centers, etc. that I found out from my own investigation and analysis were all bombed one by one!

That's not bombing like lightly tapping water with ordinary aircraft, but using all kinds of the most powerful and brutal bombing to wash the ground!Where there are caves and underground caves, they are all opened by cloudbursts; all densely forested areas, including difficult points where miasma exists, are all cleaned up with napalm or even white phosphorus; , Dexterous fried to precise knock off!

In short, he mobilized the air support force that Zhu Bin had promised earlier!Before the other departments, occupy half of the air power distributed in front of you!

After the large-scale bombing in the air is completed, it will be followed by artillery strikes on the ground!Not only did he directly belong to the Artillery Regiment, but he also joined the Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Army and the Strategic Rocket Artillery Force in the rear. All of them applied. In total, there were more than 300 guns of various calibers and more than 1000 barrels. It was crazy. They washed the position about [-] kilometers wide and [-] kilometers deep in front of them!

Taking advantage of the dizziness of the Japanese army, a tank regiment and a mechanized infantry regiment under him scattered to attack, taking the battalion as a unit, and crazily rushed into the Japanese army's position along the reserved passage, as sharp as a knife, and forced out Several routes are only "inserted" into the rear, and then expanded horizontally.Completely cut off the entire 48th Division and the rear troop channel!

This move is not just vicious.It is simply daring and adventurous too much!If the previous sudden attack did not work and did not effectively kill the enemy, then what awaited those two regiments would be a vicious siege by at least [-] to [-] Japanese troops!The end will be very bad!

So Sun Liren is bold, but never reckless, here it is.He made full use of the external forces that could be mobilized, and then gave full play to the key points of the speed of soldiers, and severely caught the Japanese army by surprise!

The 48th Division in front never expected that the 38th Army, which had been in constant skirmishes with them, would suddenly evolve from a bobcat to a Tyrannosaurus rex!Just that wave of overwhelming bombing, and the endless shelling that followed, dispersed them as before.The troops who planned to continue to engage in skirmishes were severely ravaged, and more than half of them were killed or injured!

The most terrible thing is that the organization of these small units has been completely dismantled, the connection with the wing and brigade has been completely broken, and the command system is basically finished, plus the previous battle.The loss of grassroots officers was so great that when the organized Chinese soldiers on the opposite side suddenly rushed out frantically, they could not organize a blocking force larger than a squadron, let alone call for artillery fire and air support from the rear.

It is conceivable that there is no advantage in equipment quality.In terms of military strength, the opponent was more than four or five times worse, and the Japanese army had almost no heavy weapons such as artillery fire.Under light clothing, suddenly encountering crazy and approaching armored and mechanized troops, what a miserable end!

Almost most of the Japanese soldiers were forcibly crushed into patties by the rolling iron stream, or were torn to pieces by the direct ""fire" of passion, and smashed to pieces by heavy machine guns. Armed geep vehicles, swarms of assault rifles to the ground.If it weren't for the mechanized troops rushing on their way, they alone could clean up almost everything.

Before the remnants of the Japanese army could recover, the infantry squad flooding into the battlefield like a tidal wave killed them.This time, there are only company-level combat units, but what about the Japanese army?If they can gather a small team, they will be considered lucky.In addition, these platoon units have at least a few or even a dozen armed vehicles, vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, recoil guns, and flamethrowers specially developed for jungle warfare. The Japanese army, without any pressure.

Just like this wave after wave of continuous weakening, four consecutive waves of attacks passed, and the decentralized system of the Japanese army's establishment completely collapsed. Thousands of stragglers fled into the jungle in a panic, trying to resist.

In the past, it was probably feasible, but now, there are no doors!

The two mechanized regiments broke into Yangmidin, cut off the way, and immediately confronted the Japanese guards there, and at the same time allocated part of their forces to defend against the impact of the remnants of the 48th Division of the Japanese Army.

Their timing was so good that the Japanese army on the opposite side didn't react at all, and those on this side didn't have time to retreat. They watched the other four infantry regiments clean up one by one, killing piles of Japanese soldiers mercilessly. kill!

This battle started suddenly, fought fiercely, progressed rapidly, and achieved results that the commanders of both sides had never expected before.

When Sun Liren reported that they had already killed a division, few of them dared to believe it. Only Zhu Bin, after seeing the bill, gritted his molars and hissed: "I said this old man is really a good learner!" That’s right! I’ve learned my wasteful tactics so quickly, it’s so ruthless! If you spend so much “medicine” and still can’t deal with a division’s devils, his grandson is not entitled to that It's famous!"

Just kidding, at the beginning, Lao Jiang thought about splitting up and suppressing the officers, so few brushes could be on stage?In this regard, when Sun Liren returned to training, various ratings showed his excellence.That's Zhu Bin's focus!

The news was approved, and the rest of the passers-by, Ma Ke, were impatient.

Xue Yue always thought that he was the fastest, but he thought that he would be overtaken by a group of light troops!He was also one of the military leaders who were not favored and excluded by Lao Jiang, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to show his face, so without saying a word, he immediately sent out the elite armored troops under his command.

This move doesn't matter, hundreds of tanks and infantry vehicles are rumbling, sweeping forward from the direction of Lashio like a torrent of steel, and half of the armored division is sent south to Taunggyi to open a new battlefield in the name of helping , the open and aboveboard land grab is coming!

How could the Japanese and American troops on the opposite side resist his approach? A division plus an American division didn't even organize an effective block, and they were forced to break through the defense line in front of them, and half of the armored division was stabbed to the heart. In the middle, flowers bloomed on all sides, and immediately, a frenzy of armor like a flash flood began to sweep across the plain!

The other two infantry divisions, Liao Yaoxiang and Dai Anlan, of course refused to fall behind. They were only a few hours behind Sun Liren, and they also launched a fierce attack. They all used the armored regiment to lead the way. Surrounded, there are five hundred tanks alone, and over a thousand armored vehicles!

A powerful chariot corps capable of sweeping across a country was thrown into the battlefield. The main force of the coalition forces suddenly lost their strength, and the outer defense line collapsed one after another. In less than a day, they were compressed around Mandalay. The dense hedgehogs gathered into a group, and the crisis of extinction , coming immediately!

That night, Zhu Bin greeted the crazy troops from all walks of life in advance, and then shot four medium-range Taoist guides towards Mandalay from the rear in a very awkward manner!
