    "Attention all crew members, the work is done, everyone is returning. Attention the escort fighter group to guard against interception by the Japs' fighter jets. Don't tell me that all the bullets in your plane have been fired!" Le Yiqin piloted the fighter plane around the dock.  He circled around and seemed to be admiring his masterpiece. He was in a good mood and couldn't help but joke. Of course, fighter pilots are not rookies yet!

    The mixed fleet of the Southern Flying Group of the Independent Division returned and disappeared into the northern sky with a rumble, leaving Mount Molloy harbor full of craters, black smoke and flames, a messy dock, and Japanese troops everywhere.  The mangled bodies of soldiers.

    Lieutenant General Tanimura Ichiro, commander of the 137th Division, his face was blackened by gunpowder smoke. With the help of the guards, he climbed up with difficulty. Looking at the messy dock and the corpses of soldiers everywhere, he wanted to cry.  No tears.

    Preliminary estimates indicate that the China plane bombing was only for thirty minutes. At least four to five thousand soldiers were unable to stand up. The 137th Division, which had just been transferred from the North American battlefield, was inexplicably  Doom is on the line, damn those arrogant guys in the Army Aviation Group, why don't they have any Imperial fighter jets?

    Lieutenant General Ichiro Tanimura, with grief and indignation, ordered the chief of staff of the division to count the casualties of the troops, and each brigade to reorganize the troops. At the same time, he sent a telegram full of resentment to General Ito, severely suing the Australian Army.  Aviation Headquarters.

    Lieutenant General Miura Kazuhito was hiding in a cave.  Listening to the roar of tank engines coming from outside, and the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer.  Another telegram was sent to General Ito, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief. The China Independent Division troops have been shelling the Imperial Army all night long. Now, they have begun a fierce attack with tanks and infantry.  The Army and the Seventh Army have suffered extremely heavy casualties and may not be able to survive today!¡±

    General Ito¡¯s call back was just a few words.  "You must persist. Now, the attack of the rescue force has achieved a major breakthrough. The blocking force of the China Independent Division is no longer able to support it. You must persist until tomorrow morning no matter what. The Bushido spirit of the Imperial Army soldiers can overcome all difficulties.  ! Also. Miura-kun, I will be at the northern foot of the MacDonnell Mountains, waiting for news of your successful withdrawal!"

    At the same time, the 14th Army of the Japanese Australian Front General Reserve was stationed in Darwin, northern Australia.  More than 100,000 troops were dispatched according to the order of General Ito.  Emergency south.

    The brigades directly under the corps were responsible for encircling and annihilating the battles between the Japanese Sixth Army and the Seventh Army within the encirclement.  By around three o'clock that afternoon, significant progress had been made.  After more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers withstood artillery shells for two days and two nights, and suffered the blows of armored troops' penetration tactics, what was left in the end was only 60,000 to 70,000 defeated soldiers, and they were all compressed into small areas.  All the heavy equipment was lost and it was just a matter of time before they were all wiped out.

    After receiving the reports from each brigade, Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief. The progress of each brigade far exceeded his expectations. Now, although there are still 60,000 to 70,000 remaining Japanese troops in the encirclement, they have no fighting spirit.  , the remaining troops were defeated, it was time to free up our hands to deal with the main force of the Japanese army in the middle!

    Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, the progress of the battle in the encirclement is much faster than expected. This is an excellent opportunity! Order, Armored Corps Commander Battle, from  From each tank brigade, a regiment was selected to continue the mission of encircling and annihilating the Japanese troops in the encirclement. Then, all armored brigades immediately moved into the northern part of the MacDonnell Mountains as quickly as possible! "

    "Order, Artillery Commander Zheng Yong, that the four artillery brigades directly under your ministry should all leave the battlefield and drive to the north of the McDonald Mountains as quickly as possible. Each brigade directly under the corps will leave one after receiving the order.  The troops of the regiment will continue to perform the current mission, and the remaining troops will immediately break away from the battle and move towards the northern part of the MacDonnell Mountains as quickly as possible. Each unit will report its position to the division commander at any time! "

    In the hinterland of the MacDonnell Mountains, on the battlefield still filled with gunpowder smoke, the armored troops, artillery troops and brigades of the directly affiliated corps, which received the order from the division commander, immediately left the battlefield, grouped as a regiment, at the fastest speed, like a wave of  Like a whirlwind, it swept towards the northern direction of the mountainous area. It seemed rushed and chaotic, but in fact, each brigade had a clear goal and could gather the troops while marching.

    Tang Qiuli's move can be described as bold. He left behind tens of thousands of troops to encircle and destroy the Japanese army whose strength exceeded that of his own encirclement. He used the main force of his directly affiliated regiments to attack the battlefield at Beilu. However, it was by no means a risk. Tens of thousands of troops in the encirclement were  The fall of the Japanese army is a foregone conclusion.

    After two days and two nights of heavy blows, the hinterland of the MacDonnell Mountains was surrounded.The tens of thousands of Japanese troops inside were already fragmented, poorly organized, and defeated generals. Their fighting spirit was completely gone and they had almost no power to fight back. Naturally, he would not waste his troops and time on this.

    "Yamahe, all the brigades, armored troops and artillery of the directly affiliated corps have begun to take action. It's time for us to leave and meet Commander-in-Chief Ito Yanzaburo!" Tang Qiuli put on his military uniform and smiled at Chief of Staff Zhao  Yuhe said.

    At this time, the blocking battle in the northern part of the McDonnell Mountains was at its most critical moment. General Ito put the last reserve team that had just arrived on the battlefield today, the 14th Army, with more than 100,000 troops, into the attack on the lady.  During the attack of the Guan garrison.

    General Ito's thoughts at this moment were no longer just to rescue the Sixth and Seventh Army. In fact, from the telegram from the deputy commander of the central offensive force and the commander of the Sixth Army, Miura Kazuhito, he realized that even if he opened the  In the northern part of the Macdonald Mountains, the independent division's blockade may have passed through the independent division's troops in the hinterland of the mountainous area. After two days and two nights of siege, the two armies were left with very few troops. From the purpose of the campaign, rescue was of little significance.  .

    After realizing this, General Ito's dominant thinking changed. He would use all available troops to fight the independent division troops in the MacDonnell Mountains in advance for a decisive battle that would affect the Australian war.  , severely damage or defeat the independent division troops, then the battlefield situation of the entire Australian counterattack will change in a direction that is beneficial to the imperial army.

    The more than 900,000-strong Central Army can be freed up to join the East and West Routes in either direction, which will cause devastating blows to the troops of the China Independent Division on the East and West Routes. It can also be used all the way from the Central Route.  Going south and capturing Adelaide, no matter which direction the center army is used in, will lay the foundation for Australia's decisive victory in advance. To this end, all the reserve forces of the Imperial Australian Front will be invested, no matter how much casualties it costs.

    General Ito issued a strict order to the commanders of all participating troops, "Each army should take turns to fight in elite divisions or brigades, maintain uninterrupted attacks, and not give the enemy a chance to breathe, let alone the casualties of soldiers.  Determined to use the brave and fearless fighting spirit of the Imperial Army soldiers to completely crush the Chinese soldiers' will to resist, and finally achieve a fundamental victory in the decisive battle in Australia!"

    "All commanders at all levels who are hesitant or slow to question during the attack will be dismissed from their posts on the spot and handed over to the military police headquarters to be convicted after the war!" General Ito's order is very clear, it is to risk human lives.  , but also to crush the independent division troops. If the commander considers the casualties of the troops and does not resolutely carry out his orders, he should be dismissed from office and imprisoned first!

    Under such strict orders, Japanese commanders at all levels would never dare to have the slightest objection or question, and they would not take the lives of soldiers seriously. Japanese officers at all levels went crazy and hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers were numb.  , only the instinctive attack is left to attack again.

    Faced with the crazy attack of the Japanese army, which had more than twice its own strength, the pressure on the regiments guarding Niangziguan increased sharply, and the casualties of each brigade continued to increase. Commander Feng Jiwu, who received the report, still looked calm as usual and continued to fight.  Beforehand, we had fully estimated the difficulty of this blocking battle. It was not surprising that the Japanese army launched such a crazy attack. Therefore, the orders given to each brigade were basically the same, "Resolutely defend and not give up an inch of ground!"

    Dusk fell once again on the northern battlefield in the McDonald Mountains. The day's bloody battle finally came to a temporary halt as it got dark. The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood permeated every corner of the battlefield. On the forward positions, the bodies of Japanese soldiers were everywhere.

    Major General Jin Tieshan, commander of the first brigade, leaned in the trench, spit out the dust from his mouth, shook his head and said to the brigade chief of staff, Cheng Shaofu: "Chief of Staff, the little devil is crazy, damn, within one day,  They actually launched the first attack of brigade size, and the artillery fire was fierce. By the way, what are the casualties of the troops? "

    Cheng Shaofu took a breath of the air full of gunpowder smoke and replied: "The casualties of the last repulse of the Japanese army have not been counted yet. According to the statistics of previous battles, the casualties of each regiment are not small, and the number of casualties is only a quarter."  There were about 4,000 casualties, including more than 1,300 killed!"

    "Damn it!" Jin Tieshan cursed in a low voice. The blocking battle lasted for three days, and the first brigade wiped out a main regiment. This was one of the few times in his many years of battlefield career that he had seen a small group.  When the devil is so crazy.

    "Pass my order, all regiments should not rest tonight, repair and strengthen the fortifications overnight, we must be mentally prepared for a long period of resistance!" Jin Tieshan said to Cheng Shaofu, "In addition, the casualties of the first brigade  , report to the headquarters, but it must be explained that even if the first brigade is destroyed, my body, Jin Tieshan, is still lying on the position!"

    He was mentally prepared to repel the last Japanese attack.At this time, even the brigade guard battalion was sent up. He, the major general brigade commander, also carried a submachine gun into the battle. On such a cruel battlefield, there were bullets and artillery shells, but he did not recognize who the major general brigade commander was.

    However, going into battle to kill the enemy in person made Jin Tieshan regain his previous feeling. How should I put it, exciting and exciting!
