Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chu Yao commanded three detachments. After ambushing the 139th Regiment of the Japanese Army, he received reports from each detachment one after another. They were similar to what he had here. They all exchanged fire with the Japanese army, and the fight was extremely smooth. The captains of each detachment suggested that  , taking advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army, the Japanese army penetrated deeply and completely disrupted the little Japanese.  .

    Chu Yao's mind has not yet heated up to that extent. He analyzed that after a sudden attack, the scattered Japanese troops would instinctively move closer together for safety reasons. That was more than 200,000 soldiers.  Japs, if that detachment is a little careless and is trapped by the Japanese troops gathered in a hedgehog, and has no time to withdraw, the entire army will be annihilated.

    With so many little devils, even if they were squeezed together, they could squeeze more than 200 special operations team members into a pulp. In the face of the absolutely superior force, no matter how good the individual soldier's quality was, it would be useless. Therefore, he ordered each detachment to  , end the battle as soon as possible, evacuate the battlefield immediately, keep a certain distance from the Japanese troops, and monitor them closely.

    In order to prevent the squad leader from getting greedy and greedy for merit, he emphasized in the order, "Each squadron must keep in mind its own mission. We are not fighting the Japanese army head-on, but waiting for opportunities to harass and disrupt the Japanese army."  The rhythm trapped the Japanese troops in the mountains." Chu Yao's calmness and judgment of the battle situation indeed saved most of the attacking column's units.

    Because, the order issued by Juichi Terauchi was almost consistent with Chu Yao's judgment. If the Japanese army penetrated deep into the depths, it would be difficult to escape even with wings. Even if you were lucky, you could get out of the gap between the more than 200,000 Japanese troops and fight while fighting.  Withdrawal, just as Juichi Terauchi hoped, would allow the Japanese troops to get out of the wilderness and into the mountains, leading the way for free.

    Chu Yao's order to break away from the battle made Temple Shouichi's long-awaited hopes and calculations completely come to nothing. More than 200,000 soldiers gathered together again, not to mention wild vegetable soup, and even drinking water.  It has become a problem, and it is the place I walked a few days ago. It has long been like locusts passing through. Even the leaves have been picked, and the wild vegetables that are not poisonous have become luxuries. Only high-ranking officers at the general level can enjoy them occasionally.  Once, the Japanese army truly reached a desperate situation.  .

    With so many people gathered together, hunger and injuries, the soldiers' emotions had reached the point of getting out of control. Terauchi Juichi had no choice but to give the last order in pain, "Each unit, in regiments, disperse and break out.  After walking out of the wild and into the mountains, the gathering place was Myitkyina in northern Myanmar." This means that the last unit of the Japanese Southern Expeditionary Force in China had to choose to break up into pieces and escape for their lives when they were on the verge of despair.  .

    A Japanese main force that once wreaked havoc in southern China and was ambitious to capture Chongqing, the capital of the Nationalist Government, was set up step by step by Tang Qiuli and forced into the wilderness and into the mountains. They were left with no ammunition, no food, and no medicine for their injuries.  , although the soldiers were there, their morale was low. They landed food and clothing from Leizhou Peninsula and Beibu Gulf. The Japanese army had more than 480,000 troops. It was Japan's largest combat group in southern China. It can be said that they were strong and arrogant.

    He moved to southern China for several months. In addition to his high spirits and arrogance when he captured Guiyang, he suffered a setback in the war. He was first frustrated at Duyun City, then at Loushanguan Pass, Chishui River, then at Songshaoguan Pass, and finally reached Chengjiang No. 7  The Japanese army was destroyed, and Shouichi in the temple was unable to return. The wild mountains became the last destination of the Japanese army. Forced by the harsh natural environment, the remaining more than 200,000 soldiers disappeared into thin air and fled for their lives. I just don¡¯t know how many of them will survive.  Live to see Yaokong in Myitkyina, northern Myanmar.

    After issuing the order, Shouichi Lao in the temple burst into tears and could hardly restrain himself. This is the truest portrayal of what it means to fall down a tree and the hozens scatter. He murmured to himself: "I am ashamed of His Majesty the Yao Emperor and the Empire of Japan.  I am a criminal of the empire!" He thought about it, but he did not expect that the more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers he had brought into the battlefield of the invasion of China and now abandoned by him would commit suicide by caesarean section.

    The staff and staff tried their best to dissuade him, but Juichi Terauchi just got off the road, put away his tears half-heartedly, packed his bags, and under the protection of the headquarters guard, followed the footsteps of the soldiers and embarked on the unknown front.  .

    Temple Shouichi's method of breaking everything into pieces created countless opportunities for Chu Yao's attack column to eliminate the Japanese army. More than 20 special operations teams took turns to go into battle, using various methods to contain the Japanese army in the wild and into the mountains.  , the ** Division Aviation Unit and the Southern Flying Group provided logistical support for the attack column with two transport aircraft groups and dozens of aircraft.

    Just last night, Chu Yao received a report from the fifth detachment. They used a river to build a dike upstream. When the Japanese army was crossing the river, the dike suddenly burst, and the waves several meters high licked thousands of people into it.  A little devil, and then took advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese army crossing the river was cut into two sections, and wiped out all the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers remaining on the south bank of the river. In this battle, the fifth detachment only suffered eight injuries.

    After receiving the telegram, Chu Yao was overjoyed and attacked the column in the wild and into the mountains.The Japanese army, which had no fighting spirit, fought for more than 20 days and suffered less than 200 casualties, of which less than 30 were killed. Chu Yao did not have to worry about the wounded at all. The transport aircraft brigade would transport the wounded away at any time.  Supplementary troops and ammunition supplies were sent to the attacking column. They have completely mastered the rhythm of the battlefield, how to fight, which way to fight, and where to fight. Each detachment can freely choose, anyway, how to fight according to convenience.

    By the end of October, the Japanese casualties and non-combat attrition had exceeded 60,000. Corpses of Japanese soldiers could be seen everywhere in the dense woods, beside streams, and on muddy mountain roads. The remaining hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were  They were still like headless flies, wandering around in the wild mountains for more than a month, and had not yet left the subtropical virgin forest. Many Japanese soldiers suffered from mental breakdown and chose to commit suicide.

    Shouichi in the temple was already numb. The dead body of the soldier became a signpost for the headquarters of the dispatched army. Several gunshots were heard in front of him. The guard captain just raised his tired eyelids. No need to ask, it was another soldier who committed suicide. Sure enough, he did not leave.  Not far away, I saw a dozen haggard soldiers lying neatly on the muddy ground. Among them, there was also a major officer who was shot in the heart.

    One night in early November, after completing an ambush, Chu Yao reported the current situation of the Japanese army in detail to the division commander Tang Qiuli. Judging from his experience and results of fighting the Japanese army for more than 20 years, it was concluded that  He came to the following conclusion, "Commander, the Japanese army is currently out of control. They are fighting on their own and even fighting for some wild vegetables. There is no discipline at all. In view of this situation, I suggest that the attacking column can be temporarily withdrawn.  , after resting for a few days, they deployed new troops and increased their strength, and annihilated most of the Japanese troops in the wild and into the mountains in one fell swoop."

    Division commander Tang Qiuli called back, "Captain Chuyao detachment, the Japanese troops that have entered the mountains are no longer a threat. The attacking column will not evacuate for the time being, and there is no need to increase its troops. The primeval forests that enter the mountains can withstand millions of soldiers. You stick to the original plan.  The tactics are to conserve strength and focus on harassment and ambushes to slow down the Japanese army as much as possible. If things go on like this, it will definitely kill the Japanese army. "

    Temple Shouichi who entered the mountains has become a sick cat without teeth and claws. There is no need to increase the number of troops. As long as Chu Yao's attack column tries to hold back the Japanese army, they will devour these little devils in the vast mountains.

    When Tang Qiuli sent the telegram to Chu Yao, he was undoubtedly in a very happy mood. The British troops had behaved very well since the last negotiation in Tengchong. The British troops near the border had retreated one after another, trying to break away from the ** division troops.  , for fear of offending Tang Qiuli, a tyrannical warlord. Of course, this was the conclusion given to Tang Qiuli by Alexander and Ebsen.

    This is also the strategy of the two of them. Before the local reinforcements arrive, they will not engage in any form of fighting with the Japanese division troops. Of course, even if Alexander wants to fight, the soldiers in his hands have already been attacked by China.  They were frightened and had no fighting spirit. Moreover, the situation in Southeast Asia suddenly became tense, and Japan was ready to move.

    The Japanese Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, which originally retreated to Hainan Island and Taiwan Island, reappeared near the Indochina Peninsula and the Bay of Bengal. Moreover, the Japanese Navy's First and Third Fleets continued to appear in this area. In this case, Alexander and  Ebsen, secretly complaining in his heart, was in urgent need of domestic reinforcements.

    Both of them are old foxes who have been operating in the British overseas territories for many years. This kind of tense situation, which is about to be stormy, naturally cannot escape their sense of smell. Telegrams one after another are flying to the British government like snowflakes.  , but there was still no reply. The British Cabinet and Parliament unanimously chose silence.

    Entering December, the domestic news that Alexander and Ebsen had been waiting for finally arrived. This was a top-secret telegram jointly sent by the British Colonial Office and the War Department.  The second is to determine the final outlet for Britain's colonies in Southeast Asia.

    After reading the telegram, Alexander and Ebsen were filled with eager expectations, like a basin of cold water mixed with the icy sea water of the Arctic Ocean, pouring down on them, chilling their hearts. Not only were they extremely disappointed, but they were also filled with panic.

    Not to mention sending troops to support the colonies in Southeast Asia, it is still difficult for Britain to protect itself on the European battlefield. The German mechanized troops are sweeping across everything on the European continent, as if they are inaccessible. There is no opponent in the European continent. France is in danger.  , Britain's life on the European continent was not easy. Hundreds of thousands of British and French forces entered, but they were retreating steadily. They were forced to the edge of the English Channel. It was still unknown whether the entire army could be annihilated.

    In other words, from the end of 1939, the British Empire's colonies in Southeast Asia had to be self-reliant and had to rely on themselves for everything. In Southeast Asia, the biggest threats were Tang Qiuli and  Japan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, which makes Britain always proud of its strong national power.How can Alexander and Ebsen not be frightened and full of bitterness.
