984 Tropical Thunder (4) Fengwen at the foot of the mountain
"Hi! Got it!"
Tanaka Shinichi gave a response that could not be heard as excitement or depression, and without saying a word, he picked up the phone, but with a slightly sad look on his face, he sighed silently in his heart: "There are some more elite warriors of the empire who may
Withered in a distant jungle! I hope their sacrifices can be exchanged for enough achievements to comfort the ancestors of the empire!"
Although he spent most of his time dawdling in the base camp, Lieutenant General Tanaka Shinichi actually had more intelligence than the average former enemy commander. Especially when he was sent to rebuild the 18th Division, he did extremely thorough intelligence collection and analysis.
After doing the work, the conclusion reached is depressing - the enemy faced by the Empire of Japan is extremely strange and powerful, and cannot be judged and analyzed using conventional thinking in a general sense.
So in combat, facing a powerful enemy that you don't understand, you can't formulate appropriate strategies and tactics, and you can imagine what the final result will be.
Tanaka Shinichi's bravery is well-known in the Japanese Army. During his tenure, he single-handedly formulated and provoked many local military conflicts and adventures, and joined forces with Akira Muto to overthrow Kanji Ishihara's sober strategy of controlling the war. However,
It does not mean that he is the kind of reckless warrior who puts all his efforts into battle. Regardless of his poor strategic and tactical abilities, he will never be half-hearted in the face of battle.
However, after experiencing successive heavy blows, he was mentally prepared to accept possible failure.
What are the Chinese people on the other side like? Through this period of conflict and fighting, he has been able to figure out some rules. Don't expect the other side to make mistakes recklessly. Anything that looks like a loophole is more likely to be exposed to you.
It's a trap that kills people.
However, the temptation to assassinate or capture a senior Chinese general is too great! Compared to fighting hard in the tropical mountains, not even getting an enemy corpse, but also paying a huge price of casualties. So.
Under the same sacrifice, killing a well-known high-ranking official will at least preserve the reputation of the Japanese Army. It may give a powerful shock to the Chinese Army and bring about new changes to the entire war situation!
I don’t know if they were crocodile tears. A faint trace of sadness just passed through my heart and disappeared in an instant. Tanaka Shinichi grabbed the phone and ordered the other party in a serious tone: "Fujita-kun! The opportunity to fulfill your oath has arrived! The Empire
We have invested countless resources in you, and I hope you will not disappoint the Emperor and the Army’s forefathers!”
"Hi! Don't worry, Lieutenant General! We will definitely let the Chinese people know that the warriors of the Japanese Empire will always be the strongest soldiers in the world!"
The answer on the other end of the phone was sonorous and forceful, like a manly one. Tanaka Shinichi nodded with satisfaction, thinking in his mind. Is there probably no problem?
Immediately, he ordered the chief of staff, Colonel Hisashi Takeda: "Pass my order, and the entire 35th Brigade in the front will immediately mobilize, concentrate all firepower, and attack fiercely in the direction of China! No one is allowed to retreat without my order!"
"Understood!" Takeda Hisashi was shocked. He immediately realized that a big move might be made! It is very likely that he is the "Fujita" that Lieutenant General just mentioned, but it would take the strength of an entire brigade to do it.
They play screens...isn't that a bit costly?
No matter how difficult the battle ahead is, Takeda Shou is clear. Let alone attacking. Even if a small group of elite soldiers takes two steps forward, it may lead to more flexible and fierce firepower blocking by the opponent. In the conflicts again and again, the first
The losses of the 18th Division exceeded 2,000 men. If this were to be a full-scale attack and everyone would be exposed to the enemy's powerful and precise artillery fire, the consequences would be worrying!
Huh? If such a big price needs to be paid, who exactly are the so-called Fujita people?
His level was not high enough to understand all the information. After passing on the order, he quietly waited to read the battle report.
Hundreds of kilometers away in the east of Hanoi, in the mountains and fields by the Blackwater River, the headquarters of the 25th Army, which had just issued an order, Yamashita Fengwen, who had also been kicked out by the Ministry of War, put down the phone, turned around and pounced on the combat map.
His eyes were mixed with fanaticism, and he glanced back and forth near Zhennanguan while mumbling words, but it was difficult for the people next to him to understand what he was mumbling.
Yamashita Fengwen is so aggrieved!
He, a dignified Imperial Lieutenant General, originally had the opportunity to serve as the commander of the front army. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the damn Hideki Tojo came to power and unceremoniously threw him into disuse. If it hadn't been for the sudden disaster caused by the great earthquake in the Empire,
The series of collapses caused the army to
In a mess, General Juichi Terauchi, who had always admired him, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Force. I am afraid that he would have to stay in the precarious Hokkaido or Korean Peninsula, waiting for relief, or die alone, just like an ordinary fisherman.
A good opportunity has come, and he still shouldered the important mission of fighting for the empire's right to survive. However, due to Tojo Hideki's interference, or some people's intentional or unintentional arrangements, he and Tanaka Shinichi and the others fought with Tojo Senior Soldier.
The old guys with a grudge were all packed together and sent directly to the forefront of the attack on China!
If such an arrangement had been put in place five years ago, then the war would have achieved results and would have gone down in history. But times have changed, and now being forced into the front line is basically life-threatening. If you don't do it well, you will be completely defeated.
It is not easy to remain useful. The greater possibility is that you will be accused of "harming the national system and defeating the military power" and will not be able to turn around for the rest of your life.
Yamashita Tomofumi is equally brave and good at fighting, and has more military and strategic courage than Tanaka Shinichi, but this luck... Well, we can only hope that the Fujita Special Combat Team can have the effect of a surprise attack, and win the battle by surprise.
I personally drew repeatedly with a pencil on the combat map, outlining the possible attack routes, and carefully considered the details of the support force's response, movement, etc. It seemed that everything was foolproof. Yamashita Fengfumi worked for a full half an hour before he stopped.
I took the towel handed to me and wiped the sweat on my greasy face, feeling upset again.
This damn tropical weather is so bad! I keep sweating and getting oily all day long. Even in the dry season, I can't find much time to dry up. The water vapor in the morning and evening makes me wet and all the sweat is discharged.
There is no smooth flow. Many soldiers at the front have already contracted strange diseases, and some have even committed suicide because they have been unable to bear it. I really don’t know how long it will take to break through the China defense line and enter a comfortable and gentle zone.
Thinking of the series of troubles caused by the sudden shift from the cold north to the hot southern rainforest, Yamashita Fengfumi had some expectations. Such a cruel environment is probably what the warriors of the empire can endure, right? Look at those foreign devils
, as well as the servant armies from various countries participating in the battle, how can they maintain their true colors as soldiers?
Presumably, the Chinese army on the opposite side is just holding on. This is a competition of spirit and will. The emperor and the people will definitely have the last laugh!
Secretly encouraging himself in his heart, Yamashita Fengwen took a deep breath, stood in the middle of the radio station, and waited for the news to come.
Shortly after his order was issued, a strange force quietly appeared from the Aidian border more than 20 kilometers east of Zhennanguan, passing extremely covertly and quietly through a key pass guarded by many Chinese soldiers.
Enter the dense forest directly from a cave that was opened at an unknown time, and then walk through the Palian River.
The dress of this unit is definitely different from the ordinary Japanese army. There are about fifty people in total, all wearing the tropical jungle camouflage uniforms that Zhu Bin came down with. They have the same backpacks and even the same firearms and weapons. If you can't get a closer look,
, or take a closer look at their bandy legs and big carrot-like heads with almost no necks, as well as their short and stocky bodies, which are stronger and thicker than the southerners. I am afraid that no one can immediately distinguish them from the more than one million troops all over the war zone.
distinguish.
Even everyone in the entire army, even when there are no outsiders at all, speaks in Chinese with a southern emphasis, or in Vietnamese, and not a single word of Japanese is spoken.
From their vigorous movements, their ability to walk freely through the jungle, their ability to avoid various natural traps, and their ability to prevent being attacked by venomous snakes, centipedes and unknown poisons, we can see that their tropical jungle survival skills must be well-trained.
.
This unit is the "Fujita Special Operations Team" personally approved by Yamashita Fengfumi and personally assigned by Tanaka Shinichi to perform secret missions. The leader is Fujita Musashi, who carries the rank of Colonel---a man in Germany.
Elite officers who have received five years of special training!
After suffering so much on the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army paid great attention to collecting intelligence on Chinese special operations, accumulated it and used it for elite training in their own country. They also secretly conducted exchanges and cooperation with Germany, fully absorbing the experience and skills summarized by the Germans, and combining them with Japanese traditions.
The so-called "ninjutsu" in the world are gathered together, and finally one out of ten thousand is trained to form a powerful elite force capable of amphibious operations on land, sea and air, and adaptable to various battlefield environments!
Through bribery, plunder, and several consecutive years of fighting, the Japanese army collected a full set of equipment. After wearing and using it skillfully, they disguised themselves as a secret retreat team performing special tasks and passed through the natural caves that had been the main body in the early years.
, opened the border channel and smoothly sneaked into China.
Fujita Musashi leads the way. He is in his thirties and is not tall, but his rolled-up sleeves reveal half of his dark arms. The muscles are as strong as iron lumps and glow with a faint oily sheen. He holds the gun with one hand and uses the strap to form a
solid triangle
, raised his freed left hand and made a fist and shook it slightly, the weak fluorescent dial on his wrist flashed a short light, and the others walking behind immediately stopped in unison, and each raised his gun and aimed at one side in coordination, without saying a word.
, everyone stopped moving forward.
There were more than fifty people, lined up in about a dozen small groups, like a long snake winding through the dense forest. Apart from the sound of clothes scraping against leaves, there was no strange movement.
In the air, there are the roars of explosions that are getting louder in the distance, the screams of frightened wild animals, the cunning laughter of night owls, and nearby, the sound of rushing water flowing to the tributaries of the Palian River.
After a full minute of silence, a forward soldier bent his waist and jumped over the twisted tree roots and vines on the ground. He approached Fujita and reported in a low voice: "Safe! There are no traces of enemies nearby! Our advance." The direction is correct!"
Fujita Musashi waved his hand and pressed down, and the people nearby squatted down to take a rest. He took out a waterproof map of unknown material also from a Chinese soldier from his pocket, opened it, and illuminated it with the faint light of a flashlight covered with red cloth. , his fingers moved forward along the marked location, and he put the military compass up to calculate the direction. After verifying that it was correct, he nodded: "Very good! There are no mistakes in our actions! Then, rest in place for five minutes. Then continue along the river!”
"yes!"
The order was immediately conveyed in a very low voice. Colonel Fujita put away the map and compass, looked up at the top covered by dense bushes, and muttered dissatisfied: "It would be great if we could know how to use China's portable radios. It is said that they You can receive direction correction information at will and notify other units at any time, which is really convenient! It's a pity that we don't have the relevant technology and intelligence!"
What he was talking about was the individual tactical radio stations used by companies and platoons that Zhu Bin equipped various troops. Not only could they call and communicate with each other within a certain range, but they also had satellite positioning receivers that could communicate with satellites in two directions to obtain precise coordinates. Then It's quite powerful.
Such a good thing, because of the large use of large-scale integrated circuits, the samples that were resold have not been understood for a long time after analysis by various countries---they cannot understand what means were used on a fingernail-sized slice of less than 1 square centimeter. , manufacturing tens of thousands of transistor circuits is simply an incredible technology!
If you can't disassemble it, you don't know anything about the instructions and programming functions. It's impossible to imitate it. Even the Americans and British who made a backpack as big as 20 kilograms are just fake. Just a simple communication function.
At the moment, Fujita's team does carry a few tactical radios with similar shells, but they can only be used as decorations. It's completely impossible to use them.
If you have that thing, you don't have to worry about getting lost in the jungle or going in the wrong direction!
Fujita could only feel envious and jealous. After staying for five minutes, he continued to lead the team forward. After walking a short distance, they arrived at the river. Everyone began to take out small folded rubber boats from their backpacks, blew them open, and threw them on the water, downstream. Float down.
Dozens of kilometers away in Tongdeng, near Zhennanguan, the Japanese army that had been harassing them for days suddenly broke out with a fierce attack! A large number of heavy artillery that had been hidden in the mountains exposed their fangs and fired continuously towards the opposite side, exploding the mountains in an instant. Fires are everywhere!
Not only that, dozens of night fighter jets, covered by the sound of artillery, quietly crossed the border, risking their lives and passing over the mountains at low altitudes. Then, at full power, they pounced on possible enemy military points known from previous reconnaissance!
The defenders deployed on the border moved in response to the situation, and went into the attack in an orderly manner according to the deployment over the past few days. However, as soon as they met, they suddenly discovered that the enemy's craziness was far greater than before. They were caught off guard and actually suffered a small loss. They hurriedly generated electricity to send reinforcements from the rear. Block the hole.
