Chapter 391
The soldier's inquiry made Dong Dao hesitate. From the bottom of his heart, he couldn't bear to watch the Japanese commit violence. However, this matter was not trivial. If he did it, it would be equivalent to exposing the whereabouts of the large army in advance.
"Old Dong, this is not our task, and there is nothing we can do. Listen to what's going on in the southwest." Looking at the hesitant Dong Dao, Zhang Liu couldn't help but remind him.
At this time, there were occasional sounds of artillery fire from behind the mountains in the southwest, which should be the valley where the Japanese army besieged the British.
Dong Dao sighed secretly and put down the telescope. Zhang Liu was right. Reason told him that he must not act on impulse here. After weighing it for a moment, he immediately ordered: "Leave one class to continue observing, and the rest follow me!"
Although I sympathize with the plight of British prisoners of war, all soldiers should know that from the moment you lay down your weapons, your life no longer belongs to you. This is the awareness that every soldier should have.
Without any further hesitation, the group quickly bypassed the town of Cajon and carefully reached the outskirts of the valley.
When he was still two or three kilometers away from the valley, the Kachin guide refused to go any further. The scene in Kahun Town just now really scared him, and he became more and more afraid of the little devil.
.
Dong Dao had no choice but to send two soldiers to escort him back. At the same time, he also asked the soldiers to report the situation here to the main force, allowing Junzuo to decide what to do next, while the rest continued to move forward.
The reconnaissance team climbed to the cliff on the left side of the valley. The entire valley was high in the south and low in the north. The British were trapped in the middle. The Japanese army had heavy troops at both ends of the valley entrance, especially an artillery position in the south. Just now they
The sound of shelling heard was the artillery firing into the valley.
Judging from the current situation, the British army is in a very bad situation. The troops are suppressed at an angle in the valley and cannot move. The Japanese continue to send small groups of troops to harass and encroach, compressing their only living space. Coupled with the deterrence of artillery,
It seems that victory is already guaranteed.
According to the virtue of the British, it is already a miracle that the British can persist until now. The Japanese obviously do not want to push the opponent. After all, they do not have the advantage in terms of military strength. If they choose to fight hard, they will definitely break a few of their teeth. Instead of doing this, it is better to continue to exert pressure.
, based on their understanding of the British, these guys will definitely come out and surrender with the white flag in less than two days.
When Liao Mingyu received the information, he immediately began to analyze the battlefield. He picked up a pen and paper and competed with the map by himself. There was no way around him now that he had no staff around him, so he had to do everything by himself.
There was only one regiment of the Japanese army on the other side of the valley. In order to completely defeat the British 36th Brigade, the Japanese divided the army into two. In particular, an artillery brigade was arranged in the south. More than a dozen artillery pieces of various calibers were swaggeringly arranged at the entrance of the valley.
.
Upon learning of this situation, Liao Mingyu immediately contacted the Nankan Air Force, and six F4U and four P40 fighters immediately took off for combat and rushed here as quickly as possible.
In addition to the escorting P40, all F4Us carry a large number of ground attack weapons. Each fighter plane has 6 rockets and two 300-pound napalm bombs. The terrifying bomb-carrying capacity must let the little devils know what dimensionality reduction is.
blow.
At the same time, the ground troops also made plans and arrangements. The hundreds of little Japs in Cajon Town were not to be feared. They only needed to send two companies to surround them, and the remaining people concentrated their forces to attack the Japanese troops on the south side of the valley.
After receiving the order, Kaname led the first battalion and the second battalion quietly went over and hid in the woods near the entrance of the south valley according to the guidance of the reconnaissance team.
The little devil's attention was focused on the British people in the valley, and he didn't pay much attention to the perimeter security. Even some hidden sentries were removed one by one by the reconnaissance team.
"Battal Commander, what are we doing here? We've been waiting for a long time."
In the dense forest... hundreds of regiments of soldiers were ambushing them. It was only two kilometers away from the south side of the valley, and bursts of artillery fire could be vaguely heard from there.
While Kaname was wiping the submachine gun in his hand with a piece of cloth, he shook his head and said to the soldier: "What are you waiting for? Of course, the magic weapon from the Tokyo Seat will descend from the sky."
"Ah? Are there really heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals? No wonder they all say that it is not easy to have equal zodiac signs. If the Wuqu star comes to earth, he can win battles wherever he goes." Xiao Bing exclaimed.
"You believe whatever I say? You idiot!"
Kaname was amused by his words. He couldn't help but pat Xiao Bing on the head and scolded him with a smile: "Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals. You must have listened to storytelling too much. I said drops are airplanes in the sky! Look at it. I'll tell you later."
Japan is going to cry like father and mother.”
Xiao Bing nodded in understanding, but couldn't help but cast his eyes to the distant sky.
Kaname shook his head and ignored it, taking advantage of this moment to continue taking care of his beloved gun.
I have to admit that with air support, no matter what kind of battle it is, it will save a lot of effort. This kind of treatment is something that the new recruits cannot imagine at all.
In less than a cup of tea, a roar suddenly sounded in the sky. For veterans of the Third Division, this sound was all too familiar.
The Japanese troops outside the valley also noticed something. Some of the officers were quite experienced. Their expressions changed when they heard the sound of the plane flying across the sky, and they immediately realized something was wrong.
The officers quickly told the artillerymen to stop firing and prepare to move the artillery to hide their positions. They knew very well that there would be absolutely no fighter planes coming here to perform the mission today. There was only one explanation...
"Hayaku! Move the ammunition and pull up the camouflage canvas. You guys go to the front and inform the commander of the company and let him..."
"call out!!"
Before the artillery battalion captain could finish speaking, a fiery red light suddenly shot out from the woods not far away. That was...a signal bomb!?
The formation of fighter jets in the sky immediately noticed the signal mark on the ground, and immediately began to lower their flying altitude and flew towards the beacon position.
The Japanese artillery position was on a relatively flat high ground. In order to allow the artillery fire to have an unobstructed view, they cleared most of the surrounding trees.
The Japanese, who thought they were sure of victory, did not build many air defense bunkers at all. After the opponent fired the flare, they looked like a naked man taking off his clothes, completely exposed to the sight of enemy fighter planes.
"Boom! Boom..."
With several deafening loud noises, the Japanese army ushered in the most shocking scene.
As the six pirate fighter planes dived, they shot out several white smoke columns from their wings, and the high-speed rockets hit the artillery position with fierce force.
Countless little devils were swallowed up by the flames of the explosion, and the artillery and gun mounts were sent flying in all directions. After the first wave of rocket attacks, the fighter plane immediately raised its nose and removed the napalm bombs from the belly of the aircraft.
.
The flying skills of Andre and others were impeccable. The six F4U Pirates did everything from dive attack to bombing in one smooth motion. Even Jamie, who was flying a P40 escort at high altitude, also expressed his admiration.
