The sound of gunshots and explosions resounded through the sky, and several hills around the airdrop site were battlefields. The menacing search of the Fifth Wing did not encounter a large-scale obstruction and was informed of the ambush, because the troops from the Fifth Wing that came to encircle and suppress the airdrop site had already been
They were forced to be divided into several groups, and each group was organized into a small team to play hide and seek with the enemy in the jungle.
Facing the menacing Fifth Regiment, Zhao Zhi had no intention of fighting a tough battle with them or engaging in positional defense warfare. That would be too passive. Zhao Zhi wanted to use the strengths of the mercenary unit to fight the Japanese army in mountain and jungle warfare, following the radio station.
Not only were the paratroopers parachuted in together, there was also the cleaning team that Zhao Zhi had been waiting for.
If the mercenary troops under Yan Wudao are elite troops who are good at mountain and jungle combat, then the cleaning team is the real king of the jungle. The guys who can be selected into the cleaning team are all monsters with more than five years of jungle life experience. Use them
It is perfect to deal with the troops of the 5th Wing that have been forced to disperse.
More than 300 cleaning team members were divided into small teams of 30 people. Zhao Zhi also equipped each team with 5 mercenary snipers and 10 mercenaries. Zhao Zhi, who planned to use veterans to guide newbies, hoped that these teams would follow the cleaning team.
Mercenaries can learn from middle school
Xi. The seemingly tense battle situation went as Zhao Zhi hoped. It seemed a bit like a game. Yan Wudao even thought that he had returned to the mercenary training camp. The battle between the cleaning team and the Japanese army was basically in the training camp.
It's a replica of Confrontation Subjects.
One chasing and one escaping, the fleeing side keeps moving, but the fleeing side controls the initiative on the battlefield. The chasing side will always fall into the trap set by the other side, either stepping on a booby trap or being poisoned by bamboo arrows and wooden thorns.
If you get stabbed, you will get hit by the other party inadvertently.
Counterattack with sub-strong firepower. The Japanese troops who were forced to disperse their forces were chasing the enemy in small teams. The Japanese troops organized in this way would still have good combat effectiveness in the plains, but this is the mountainous area of Myanmar. With such a small number of soldiers,
There is nothing to show at all when entering the jungle.
At first, various Japanese squads could still maintain some contact with each other, but as the pursuit deepened, they could only fight alone because they had long lost contact with other squads, including the wing headquarters. It is for this reason
, after Hideki Kawahara's team was attacked on the hilltop, no follow-up troops arrived. If it hadn't been for Kojiro, who was lucky enough to escape, he lit a fire and smoked to call for help. None of the remaining five wounded soldiers of Kawahara team would have survived.
No.
The mercenaries under Yan Wudao usually looked down on the Qingfeng troops and the cleaning team because of their military exploits, but the cleaning team that participated in the battle this time taught them a good lesson. What the cleaning team was good at was not precision shooting and shooting.
Attack quickly, but they can judge by relying on a broken grass branch or a vague trace
The marching route of the Japanese army. When they exchanged fire with the Japanese army, it was even more eye-opening for them. There was nothing in the jungle that the cleaning team could not use. A casually broken branch might be a wooden thorn that could kill the Japanese army.
A few vines can also be used as a trap, and the endless methods used by the cleaning team are an eye-opener for these mercenaries.
I'm convinced. I'm really convinced this time. No wonder I always hear people say that these guys in the cleaning team are monsters. They can't live in good barracks. They always like to live in the jungle. They only need a knife and a lighter.
and a small amount of daily necessities, these homes
They can live comfortably in the forest. As the battle progressed, the mercenaries who had seen more of the cleaning team's methods had to give a thumbs up and competed with the cleaning team in jungle warfare. They claimed to be the aces of the mountain jungle.
The guy is really a little ashamed.
12 to 4, this is the latest result that Zhao Zhi has received so far. The cleaning team and mercenaries that Zhao Zhi sent out suffered 12 casualties, including one killed in battle, three seriously injured, and the rest were minor injuries. And the search for fifth
The Japanese casualties under the regiment exceeded 4. The number of casualties of many Japanese troops could not be determined because time was too tight. The actual number of Japanese casualties should be much greater than the number 4, and the 4 reported by the cleanup team all included the number of casualties.
, excluding those Japanese soldiers who can still breathe.
"According to our previous experience in fighting the Japanese army, if the number of our kills is 4, then the actual casualties of the Japanese army should have exceeded 500." Yan Wudao had his own way of analyzing the battle situation.
Mercenaries are not wasted
Because of the habit of bullets, when fighting the enemy, they mostly shoot directly, and the number of injuries is pitiful. However, in the jungle warfare here, it is inevitable that the shooting accuracy will be weakened. The number of injuries to the Japanese army should be 100.
It's very appropriate.
"It's not yet time to attack the command camp of the Fifth Regiment." Zhao Zhi saw the meaning in his staff's eyes, but he still shook his head with certainty. The Fifth Division is a division with 25,000 people.
Although the establishment of the fifth search regiment cannot be compared with the main regiment of the division, it still has 1
Established with 0 people. Sato Brigade plus Koizumi Squadron, plus the current number of 500 Japanese casualties, the strength of the Fifth Regiment has almost been exhausted, but Zhao Zhi does not want to take over the command camp of the Fifth Regiment.
"Sir, do you mean to catch a big fish? The command camp of the Fifth Regiment is our fishing bait?" Yu Sheng was the first to react, but he still hoped to get a positive answer from Zhao Zhi. This gentleman looked at him
He is not very old, but he is full of tricks in fighting. I guess even the big guys in the army are no match for those Pegasus.
Xingkong's ideas and plans obviously seemed to be full of loopholes, but they were successful in the end. Following such a commander, I don't know whether it is a staff officer's sorrow or an honor. The staff officers around Zhao Zhi are often there
Act as a secretary and messenger, or play the role of a Japanese soldier when accompanying Zhao Zhi in a sand table simulation.
"I have this idea. Now let's see if the 1st Airborne Battalion can arrive at Area 3 within the specified time. If we can't get there on time to block the Japanese army's retreat, even if we conduct a feint attack on the command camp of the 5th Regiment,
It is estimated that the effect will not be great. The Japanese army can completely attack them when we form them.
He fled before their encirclement." The lack of mobilizing troops is Zhao Zhi's current flaw. Most of Thunder's troops went south to supplement the interception defense lines in Taungoo, Moltke, and Piaimai, so Zhao Zhi could only hold on to those at hand.
These more than 10,000 troops and the 25th Army of Yamashita Fengfumi competed with each other here.
The combat staff brought by Zhao Zhi rushed to build a large sand table overnight based on the map and the terrain reported by the scouts. Although it was not too accurate, it at least gave Zhao Zhi a general understanding of the terrain around the airdrop site.
Zhi and the others were standing in front of this big sand table at this time. The Japanese army searched the fifth regiment command camp in the mountains between Jingdong.
They were all still blank, with only a few small black flags representing Thunder Scouts stuck on them. Zhao Zhi looked at this scene and once again longed for the existence of satellites and computers in his heart. If there were these two things, Zhao Zhi would be able to accurately find
Where is the main force of the Fifth Division? Of course, it also includes the main force of the 25th Army commanded by Yamashita Fengfumi.
What Zhao Zhi is most worried about now is the speed of the 1st Airborne Battalion. These big Jewish noses are good at airborne operations. Mountain running is not their strong point. Moreover, in order to better intercept and search the retreating troops of the 5th Regiment, the 1st Airborne Battalion was
When the battalion set out, it also carried at least 300 steel fortresses.
Armored steel plates and two Browning large-caliber heavy machine guns, plus the airborne battalion's standing weapons and equipment, the weight shared by each of them has exceeded 30 kilograms. Carrying so much stuff will definitely increase the speed of travel.
lower, and their traveling distance is about 50 miles.
"Sir, Tang Lei is a smart man. Smart people always do things more reliably. You can rest assured and wait for the news that they will arrive at Area 3 on time." Seeing that Zhao Zhi was a little dazed, Yan Wudao smiled and handed over a cigar.
Yan. The one sent to assist the 1st Airborne Battalion this time was led by Tang Lei.
0 mercenaries, the participation of the cleaning team in the war freed up hundreds of mercenaries under Zhao Zhi. Except for those mercenaries assigned to the cleaning team, the remaining mercenaries were also taken out by Yan Wudao and handed over to Tang Lei.
command.
"Tang Lei, I'm relieved. I'm just wondering if there will be changes on the Japanese side. Yamashita Fengfumi is not an easy guy to deal with. This man once forced his troops to march hundreds of kilometers on bicycles in a week.
, directly forced the landing of hundreds of thousands of British and Australian coalition troops. Such people cannot be underestimated." Zhao Zhi
He lit his cigar with the lighter held out by Yan Wu Dao, paused for a moment and then said, "We used the search for the Fifth Regiment as a bait to attract the Fifth Division. It's hard to say that Yamashita Fengfumi wouldn't search for the Fifth Regiment."
It is also used as a bait to attract us. The Japanese will do whatever it takes to win."
"No way, the farthest scout team under me is more than 50 miles away. If a large Japanese army approaches here, the scout team will definitely send a warning. Besides, Yamashita Fengwen is also a human being, and he is not
How could he know that we would be airdropped here?" Yan Wudao obviously disagreed with Zhao Zhi's inference. Inference is just an inference, and it cannot represent the truth.
Extreme joy and sorrow are not enough to describe Yan Wudao's mood a few minutes later. Just when the topic between Zhao Zhi and Yan Wudao came to an end, the staff officer in charge of the telecommunications room rushed into Zhao Zhi's command tent, "Sir,
The scouts at the front sent a warning and found that a large number of Japanese troops were approaching to meet us. They were 30 kilometers away from us. The Japanese troops
The number of people is more than 10,000." As soon as the staff officer finished speaking, warning messages from scouts in other directions about encountering large Japanese troops came from the telecommunications room. Even the number 3 was supposed to arrive in four hours.
Tang Lei from the area was also on his way back. A large number of Japanese troops were also discovered in front of them, and the airdrop site had been surrounded by the Japanese troops.
