Faced with the furious counterattack by the airborne troops, the 18th Division commanded by Tanaka Shinichi gave full play to their fighting skills, no matter how fierce and accurate the thunderous artillery fire was, or how perfect and concealed the snipers were.
The Japanese troops in the second line of defense never showed signs of retreat, which made the airborne officers fighting anxiously.
"Don't be anxious, we will see the result soon. Your task is to attract their attention to us." Yan Wudao looked at his watch and said calmly. There seemed to be something in his words. One of his subordinates
Most of the officers looked sideways at Yan Wudao, waiting for him to tell the answer. The latter didn't seem to notice everyone's expectant looks. He just dropped these words and ran to summon the team servants.
The soldier team is here.
Yan Wudao indeed meant what he said, but the matter had not yet come to the final showdown. It was not that Yan Wudao was worried that there were Japanese spies under his command, but that Yan Wudao himself did not know the specific steps of action.
He just received an order from Zhao Zhi, asking the airborne troops under his command to attract the attention of the 18th Division as much as possible. When the time comes, a big surprise will naturally appear.
On the third day after Zhao Zhi took a plane and landed in the Chanbang Mountains, a mercenary force of more than 300 people boarded a dozen wooden boats on the outskirts of Mandalay and sailed up the Irrawaddy River to the Chanbang Plateau.
and left. These three hundred mercenaries were sent to Zen after Yu Dazhi learned that Zhao Zhi had
After Bang Yue fought against the 25th Army, Yu Dazhi, who was specially selected from the Qinglongping training camp and carefully studied the map, formulated a course of action for them that even the Japanese army was not optimistic about. But if everything goes well, they will appear in
Behind the Eighteenth Division.
The mercenaries quietly boarded the river bank and then dug through the bottom of the boat. The wooden boat quickly disappeared among the rolling waves. After carefully cleaning the traces of the river beach, the team dived into the dense jungle.
The rainforest the commando passed through was primitive. No one had walked through it in decades. It was full of knee-deep black mire, and the thick fallen leaves exuded a suffocating odor in the silt. There were ravines and mountains here.
It's so densely packed that sometimes you have to climb four or five mountain ridges in a straight-line distance of one kilometer, which consumes most of a day.
In order to keep the operation confidential, the mercenaries did not dare to light a fire at all. In fact, they could not light a fire in such a humid jungle. They could only use the dry food and canned beef they carried with them to satisfy their hunger. The weather in the rainforest changed very quickly, and the sky was clear just now.
, and in a blink of an eye, it rained heavily, and the ground
Waist-deep rain soon accumulated on the surface, and the team had no choice but to wade forward. Although there were local Burmese people as guides, the harsh jungle still caused great trouble for the commando team, which took them two full days.
It took a lot of time to cross this jungle, which was only a few dozen kilometers wide on the map.
When they arrived less than ten kilometers away from the 18th Division's rear line of defense, all the team members were in ragged clothes and their shoes and socks were torn. Fortunately, the weapons, ammunition and radios were all brought to their destination intact. It was precisely because of the difficulty of traveling.
, the Eighteenth Division would not have thought that enemy troops would appear behind them, not to mention that they had deployed
A rearguard unit was placed on guard. The commando team took a short rest and then used the radio to contact Zhao Zhi. All of this was discovered before Zhao Zhi signaled for poison gas to be used against the 42nd Wing. This was also the case. Zhao Zhi would not be relieved until he succeeded.
To fight against the 11th Regiment, the 18th Division will naturally have Yan Wudao and commandos to deal with it.
Without deliberately going out for reconnaissance, the commandos hidden in the jungle could hear the forward firefight, especially the rumbling artillery bombardment. When Yan Wudao commanded the troops to take down the peripheral defense line of the 18th Division, the assault team
The team has quietly approached the 18th Division's rear defense.
The line is less than 2 miles away. Listening to the gunfire like fried beans in front, Zhang Hu, who was commanding the commando team, grinned with joy. The more intense the fighting in front, the greater the chance of success for their commando team. "Open it."
Radio station, contact Yan Tou immediately and tell him that we are here."
The appearance of the commando team solved the mystery that Yan Wudao had left before. Although the commando team only had 300 people, they were all mercenaries, especially the elite Qinglongping mercenaries who had been trained by Yu Dazhi and others for more than a year.
These guys all fought against the Japanese army with live ammunition in Shanxi. Only these 300 people were selected out of more than 4,000 mercenaries in a training camp. Their combat effectiveness is definitely not weaker than that of the mercenary company that protected Zhao Zhi or
It's the cleaning team.
After receiving the telegram from the commando team, Yan Wudao was completely relaxed, just to attract the attention of the 18th Division. This battle would be much easier to fight. Under the deliberate arrangement of the German commander, the airborne troops were sent forward
They began to use fire suppression as a cover to dig trenches to confront the Japanese army. The mercenary team under Yan Wudao's personal command also took the opportunity to move the two steel fortresses forward and continued to attack the 18th Division's second line of defense with large-caliber heavy machine guns.
Effective suppression.
As night fell, this was the best time for the Japanese army to launch a counterattack, but the flares on Yan Wudao's side were not cut off at all, as if they were free. The cold light of the flares clearly illuminated the open space between the two armies. The 18th Division
It would be very difficult for the regiment to counterattack at night. The role of snipers is magnified at night.
To the extreme, although the sniper's scope is not infrared, they can use the cold light of the flares to aim. All objects higher than the Japanese trenches are their targets. The Japanese soldiers huddled in the trenches actually used bayonets against their helmets to expose their helmets.
Trenches, in order to consume Thunder Sniper ammunition.
At four o'clock in the morning, it was still dark, and three hundred commandos quietly reached the edge of the 18th Division's rear defense line. After easily killing the sentries with pistols equipped with silencers, the commandos used their fastest weapons.
Rushing into the rear line of the 18th Division at high speed. In addition to one brigade of defenders, the 18th Division's rear line
Apart from the troops, most of the other Japanese troops are wounded soldiers who have been withdrawn for treatment or logistics personnel in field hospitals. There is no so-called nationality law in the dictionary of Thunder mercenaries. In their eyes, all Japanese soldiers wearing military uniforms
Everyone is the enemy, including the wounded soldiers and medical staff in the field hospital of the 18th Division.
Making an attack gesture, Zhang Hu pulled up his mask and covered his face. All commandos had a pistol that could be equipped with a silencer and 70 rounds of pistol ammunition. In addition, they also had a pistol hanging on a triangle.
Submachine gun and 240 on gun belt
He fired submachine gun bullets, three American grenades, two hand-thrown incendiary bombs and a smoke bomb. Zhang Hu planned to use only pistols to annihilate the enemy before being discovered by the Japanese army. It was best to do so without being noticed.
Kill the entire Japanese defense line.
According to Zhang Hu's order, the commandos formed a small team and launched an attack with small steps and raised their guns. The field hospitals were all built with military tents. In almost every tent, there were wounded Japanese soldiers wailing incessantly. If
They knew that the nightmare was slowly approaching them, and they were afraid that these wounded Japanese soldiers would never lie on the blanket waiting to die.
The mercenary at the front clenched his left hand and raised it. The moment he opened his fingers, the mercenaries on both sides suddenly opened the tent and swarmed in with "pop", "pop", "pop", "pop"
The mercenaries pulled the triggers one after another, and the gun flames kept flashing, until the assault team confirmed that all the wounded Japanese soldiers in the tent were dead.
The main attacking team had auxiliary teams. While dozens of main attacking teams were shooting wounded Japanese soldiers in tents one by one, Zhang Hu led other assault teams to defend key points in the back line. Appeared in Assault
The Japanese sentries and patrols in the team's sight will be shot and killed at the first opportunity. The nurses and military doctors on duty are also their targets. In other words, every Japanese who appears in the Japanese camp will die.
Cannot be excluded.
The Japanese troops who had been harassed all night were already exhausted and lethargic, and the Japanese troops in the rear camp were equally exhausted. How could they have imagined that the enemy would appear in front of them at an unexpected time, facing pistols equipped with silencers?
, the only thing they can do
The only thing they needed to do was to go to see their Yachigami in advance. The murderous commandos were progressing smoothly. The field hospital that Tanaka Shinichi regarded as a top priority was shot and killed within half an hour. All the commandos paid was
Most of the pistol ammunition I carry with me.
"Boom", some Japanese troops discovered the commando's attack and killing operation. A wounded Japanese soldier who was not killed fired the grenade hidden under his body and prepared to commit suicide. The commando dodged quickly and there were no casualties, but their actions
But it was exposed to the Japanese army. "Secure the center line, defend the center line."
"Zhang Hu commanded the auxiliary team to concentrate all the machine gun firepower on the 18th Division's rear defense line in the middle, and then divided the commando troops into three groups. One group built fortifications in the middle to resist the Japanese counterattack, and the other two groups of commandos moved forward from the two wings.
Stretch out to prevent the Japanese army from encircling them.
The grenades fired by the dying and wounded soldiers let Tanaka Shinichi know that something was wrong with his back line. His field hospital was right on the back line, where a lot of supplies and ammunition from the 18th Division were stored. If his back line was really
Something happened, the 18th Division
will be in a desperate situation. Tanaka Shinichi, who was greatly annoyed, deployed the troops of two brigades to support his rear line of defense. If the rear line of defense was really broken through by the enemy, the troops of these two brigades would try their best to recapture the rear line.
Defense lines and those supplies.
The exchange of fire on the rear line of the 18th Division also could not escape the ears of Yan Wudao and the others. The German commander who commanded the airborne troops immediately sent troops to rush forward along the two wings. The appearance of the commandos changed the situation of the battle again.
.The 18th Division defended
There is an attempt here to unite the 42nd Regiment and the 11th Regiment to encircle the airborne troops, but now the 42nd Regiment has been repelled by the troops personally commanded by Mr., and the 11th Regiment is also blocked at Shenmu Ridge more than ten miles away. Now it is their turn.
