At this time, the Malay Peninsula, Indochina Peninsula, the Philippines, Indonesia, New Guinea and other places were different from being over-exploited by humans in later generations and becoming habitable. Many places were still uninhabited wilderness. Therefore, in the past, In that time and space, words such as "savage mountain" and "uninhabited mountain" frequently appeared in the words and diaries of Chinese expeditionary officers and soldiers. In comparison, the population density of the Malay Peninsula is relatively high in the above places, so The Malay Peninsula has been fairly thoroughly developed, but this still cannot change the harsh natural environment unique to Southeast Asia. It can turn Malay into a "paradise" suitable for human habitation. Unlike later generations, humans have developed enough to resist various mosquitoes. , a sufficient number of targeted drugs are used to prevent poisonous insects, so you can walk unscrupulously in the tropical jungle. At this time and space, no matter which party is at war, you cannot avoid being harassed by the harsh natural environment of the Malay Peninsula.
Mosquitoes, leeches, venomous snakes, wasps... In a war environment, these creatures that usually do not pose a fatal threat to people can often become the ignition point of a murder because of people's negligence towards them.
Compared with the Japanese army and the National Independence Army, the soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force are undoubtedly lucky because they have a supreme commander from later generations. Because their supreme commander has personally fought in Southeast Asia, he not only knows the local situation, but also has a clear mind. China also retains the knowledge of survival in these areas learned by later generations, so whether it is medical conditions or targeted equipment configuration, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is far stronger than the Japanese army and the National Independence Army.
In peacetime, these preparations by China may not mean much, but in wartime, they will become an important factor in determining the outcome of a war.
When Xiaolin Highlands was still under the control of the Japanese army, enough bunkers and several fortifications were built. After it fell into the hands of the Expeditionary Army, the Expeditionary Army adhered to the concept of the military soldiers sweating more in their spare time and bleeding less in war. On the basis of the fortifications, they were reinforced, deepened and complicated. Therefore, in the eyes of the little devil, the appearance of Xiaolin Highlands did not seem to have changed much, but in fact, murderous intentions were hidden everywhere.
The definition given by the Supreme Command to the expeditionary force was originally pure infantry. However, as the situation developed, after jungle operations and mountain operations became more and more frequent, out of the need for survival, the expeditionary force actually became Very professional mountain troops.
The reason why it is described as professional is that, firstly, the expeditionary force's daily training subjects and troop building have begun to revolve around mountain warfare and jungle warfare, and secondly, the equipment and combat methods they require are becoming more and more mountainous.
The two-month-long war almost destroyed all the vegetation on Xiaoling Heights. If you look at it from the air, you will find that Xiaoling Heights looks particularly abrupt in the green Malay jungle.
The green vegetation was destroyed by artillery fire, which more or less weakened the concealment of the defenders' fortifications. Of course, everything has two sides. From the perspective of the defenders, the loss of green vegetation certainly weakened the concealment of their fortifications. But at the same time, it also gave them a better shooting interface, allowing them to strike the enemy with more precise firepower.
The sound of "hissing" shells breaking through the air was still ringing. This was the enemy's artillery firing. Facing the artillery fire that exploded everywhere, Kim Jong and his brothers were walking in the traffic ditch at a high speed. At the same time, everyone looked on the lookout. From his mouth, shouts in various dialects rang out one after another, "Position three, position three, the Japanese are coming, fight." In authentic Peiping dialect, if nothing unexpected happened, this watchman was from Peiping or Hebei.
"Yaowa, direction at eleven o'clock, the enemy, kill him." Speaking in Sichuan dialect, there is no doubt that this lookout soldier is from Sichuan.
"With sister, gather fire, gather fire." This is Cantonese.
Numbering the defense zones is a common combat method used by the cadet army. Setting up lookout posts in places with good viewing angles but difficult to hide large-scale troops, and letting the lookouts be responsible for commanding the battle, is a method that expeditionary officers and soldiers have to explore in actual combat. Based on the combat experience, the Japanese who were injected with stimulants rushed very fiercely, and the expeditionary force soldiers would not fire outside the optimal range. Therefore, this required the lookout soldiers to be able to issue the most appropriate shots at the most appropriate time. Information, the sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield is deafening, which requires the lookout soldiers to have a good voice. In order to avoid the enemy's hearing and copying, gradually, using local dialects to command the battle has become a major part of the Third Expeditionary Army. Combat characteristics.
Gunfire began to roar intensively, and because each combat group was at least squad level, and the Japs' reaction seemed a bit slow, the effect of this blow was particularly shocking.
The Japs and Independence Army soldiers fell down in droves, and behind them, more Japs and Independence Army soldiers seemed to have not seen the miserable state of their comrades, and still rushed forward without any scruples.
If Kim Jong-hwa's brigade is a new recruit on the battlefield, no matter how well-trained they are, in the face of such a situation, there will definitely be a normal reaction that may lead to collapse, that is, they will be overwhelmed by the stupidity of the Japanese and their own They are shocked by the cold-blooded killings, and once they cannot bear it psychologically and hesitate in their hands, they will be approached by the enemy and then be defeated like a mountain.
In the Southeast Asian battlefield, such battles have not happened before, but similar things will never happen to the Third Expeditionary Army. The soldiers of the expeditionary army have long disregarded life and death. They have passed through as many as hundreds of times. The battles of various scales made his heart become as cold as iron, enough to adapt to the cruel environment in front of him.
Based on past experience, Kim Jong-hwa knew that the more fierce the enemy attack at this time, the closer the delivery fighter cluster was to Xiaolin Heights. In order to leave a wide enough airdrop area for the delivery fighter cluster, they must not retreat at this time. Pull back a little.
"Hold on, the little devils just want to die, we will help them."
"Li Guangming, do you want some support?"
"Xie Debao, what the hell is going on with you? You forgot what I usually taught you when you went to Java. You just squatted in the trench and hugged the fire. Why are you so fucking in the limelight?"
"Gao Jun, where's your helmet? Damn it, you thought the bullet was from a relative of yours..."
"Who, damn it, told you to loosen your leggings? Damn it, there are poisonous insects all over the country who don't know."
Ordinarily, Kim Jong-hwa, as the supreme commander of the defense forces at Xiaoling Highlands, does not need to and absolutely cannot appear on the front line. However, because he knows the cruelty of this kind of offensive and defensive battles, he is worried that if he is not careful, he will lose everything. , so from the time he switched defense to Xiaolin Highlands, he would be on the front line in person, no matter the big battle or the small battle.
Facts have proven that Kim Jong-hwa's choice is correct, such as this time.
