Seeing this title, many people will wonder why the well-equipped Japanese army will be eaten by crocodiles, and how did the Japanese army get here! Now through this article, let's take a look at what this is all about.
With the success of Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States, the Pacific War also broke out, and we all know very well that in order to establish Japan, the so-called "Great Common Prosperity of East Asia", he even spread the front to the whole of Southeast Asia.
However, with the defeat of the fascist Allies in the European battlefield, Japan secretly attacked the United States and "forced" it to formally join the anti-fascist battlefield, and Japan began to try to tighten the front line and concentrate all its forces on the Chinese battlefield, so as to achieve the intention of occupying China first.
Because in Japan's inherent thinking, if you want to win the world, China must be the biggest lever, so I want to take advantage of the "dying" moment to encircle China again.
On this day, a warship full of more than a thousand Japanese officers and men was preparing to withdraw its troops from Burma to support the Japanese troops in the Chinese battlefield, but coincidentally, it was discovered by the British maritime patrol ship.
Now that the two met, they were extremely red-eyed, and the British army immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army, and the Japanese side in this period had lost successive battles in various battlefields, and the officers and soldiers did not have the strong morale they had before, so under the suppression of the british army's strong firepower, they were defeated and retreated. Since the passages on the road had been cut off, they had to flee for their lives at sea.
After that, they were forced to look helplessly to Langley Island on the Bay of Bengal, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Myanmar, which covers an area of more than 2,300 square kilometers, is the largest island in Myanmar, and there are tens of thousands of crocodiles living on the island, which is the most densely populated place for crocodiles in the entire Southeast Asian region.
In fact, before this accident, the whole world was actually rare large-scale crocodile injuries, and even before that, the 121st Regiment of infantry of the Japanese Fifty-fourth Division was also stationed here, forming a corner with the previous South Asian troops and assisting each other.
But even they had never seen such an incident, and they had only seen crocodiles infested.
Seeing that the defeat of the Japanese army had been decided, the British side was ready to strike iron while it was hot, and wanted to annihilate the remaining Japanese troops in one fell swoop, so they successively cut off all the escape routes of the Japanese army after landing on the island, and even sent a number of warships to surround Lanli Island, and also cooperated with fighters to bomb Lanli Island indiscriminately, and under the cover of a saturated artillery fire, the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties. (This is the most common method used by Japan on the Battlefield in China.)
But the matter did not end here, with the burmese military to join, even more fierce than before, the Japanese army really could not stand it, so they abandoned the island, panicked they fled to the swamp, and this time, they could never imagine that the next nightmare was so terrible.
When entering the swamp, many crocodiles were also seen, but under the strong fire of the Japanese army, these crocodiles were also temporarily repelled, because at first the crocodiles only attacked from some sides scatteredly, but as the Allied artillery continued to bombard, the blood stained the swamp red, and the sky was getting darker.
Probably stimulated by the blood, the crocodiles began to gradually attack the Japanese army, and at this moment the screams of the whole island began to rise and fall, and as more and more soldiers fell, coupled with the bombardment of the British artillery on the periphery, the crocodiles began to attack the Japanese army.
Throughout the night, in addition to seeing the fire of the grenades, then it was the scream of the Japanese army, at first they thought that the Japanese army had infighting, many British troops were planning to go in and have a look, but as long as they cut off all their escape routes, these Japanese troops could not escape the palm of their hands.
In this way, a whole night passed, the battle on the island slowly subsided, and the British military began to order preparations for landing on the island at this time.
When they came to the island, they were also deeply shocked to see the scene in front of them, the swamp was stained red with blood, there were stumps everywhere, and the original team of a thousand people was only more than 20 people.
But afterwards, many people also felt that this thousand people were not actually eaten by crocodiles, and the reason why only more than 20 people were left was because when the British bombed, more than 500 people swam back to the mainland, and the other 500 people were killed in the bombing, not that they died in the mouth of the crocodile.
Of course, based on the truth of the matter, after such a long time, it is impossible to know, but I believe that in either case, it is a punishment for Japan's atrocities in the dark.
