In 1944, when the Expeditionary Force and the Japanese army met in the jungle of Homalin, Burma, the Japanese commander fired wildly, shooting at the Japanese soldiers who had escaped, but when the fifth shot was fired, his pistol was jammed.
The southern pistol has this advantage, always like to malfunction, he did not finish a shuttle of bullets, there should have been two bullets in it, but it could not be sounded.
He threw away the command knife, pulled the pistol, pulled a bullet out of the chamber, and fired another shot at the soldier on the ground who had already been killed by him, but the gun still did not sound, he knew that this bad pistol, it was not good to get the firing pin and it was broken, so he fell off the pistol with great anger, bent down and picked up the command knife on the ground.
Turning his head to the few remaining soldiers hiding in the bunker, he shouted, "You! Pick up the gun now! Now is the time for our allegiance! We are not cowards! Pick up your guns! Even if we die, we will fight to the death! ”
A few soldiers saw that their officers had gone crazy, and in front of them, they shot the new recruit who had escaped, so their hearts were completely cold, and in their minds, there was no word surrender, and now that they had failed, there was only one way to fail.
Either they committed suicide now, or they took up arms and fought to the death, so even though they were very frightened, they obeyed the order, picked up the rifle with their heads down, silently attached the bayonet to the rifle, slowly stood up from the bunker, numbly raised the gun, and looked at the opposite side.
But the frightened recruit did not go to get his gun, but curled up in the bunker with his head in his hands, and continued to cry and howl, saying that he would not stand up at all.
But at this moment, the Japanese lieutenant was no longer interested in looking at him, silently grasped the handle of the command knife with both hands, stared at the Chinese soldiers who pounced on them on the other side, and suddenly shouted wow, long live Your Majesty! Then he raised his hands above his head and rushed towards Zhao Chao.
The few remaining Japanese soldiers also looked at each other helplessly, jumped out of the bunker, followed the lieutenant with rifles, and rushed to the opposite side with a scream.
But they did not notice that after a soldier wah-w
A Japanese officer, plus four Japanese soldiers, was like a moth to a fire, and resolutely rushed towards the expeditionary force soldier Zhao Chao.
Although they were heroic and fired, they lost the protection of the bunker, and before everyone could even fire a full shot, they were sifted by a rain of bullets coming from the split surface.
Only one soldier on Zhao Chao's side was slightly injured, and even the combat effectiveness was not lost, so he rushed to their position with the corpses of these Japanese troops.
When they seized the enemy's position, they naturally grabbed two Japanese soldiers, but these two Japanese soldiers may be valuable, so they did not kill them for the time being.
After the company commander Fang Zhenjue rushed over with the wounded, Zhao Chao handed over the two captives to Fang Zhenjue.
"Medic! Hurry over and help me see, I'm hanging up! Fang Zhenyue didn't shout at the medical soldiers until this time, sitting in the devil's bunker.
They had three medics in their ranks, one of whom was an American, but one was Li Chenbing, who was also injured while rescuing the wounded just now, fortunately he was creeping forward, his body was pressed low, the bullet entered from the shoulder, passed through the shoulder, and the injury was not too serious.
The other two medics rushed over to help Fang Zhenjie take off his clothes and examine the wound on his back, the shrapnel did indeed shoot into the back of his shoulder blade, tearing open a wound of about five centimeters, the medic injected half a morphine next to his wound, and after the effect of the medicine took effect, he directly used tweezers to take out the shrapnel in the wound and bandage his wound.
Fang Zhenyue moved his shoulder and left arm, although the wound was very painful, but the activity of the arm did not seem to be much affected, the specific shoulder blade injury, can only wait until he returned to Liedo, with the American Field Hospital X-ray machine to take pictures to see, but Fang Zhenjie felt that the problem was not big.
In this battle, their losses were not too small, the soldier who had been wounded in the jungle before, had died here because of his serious injuries, and the other two soldiers were killed, including Fang Zhenjie, five of them were slightly injured, but fortunately, the five of them were not too badly injured, basically did not affect the action, but could no longer carry heavy objects.
At this time, Fang Zhenyu did not have time to interrogate the two Japanese prisoners, immediately dressed, and ordered everyone to rely on the devil's ready-made bunker fortifications to prepare for battle, because the devils behind them had already caught up at this time.
But at this time, Fang Zhenyu and his men, after repeated battles and marches, were exhausted, so now they could only rest for a while, and then go, at this time, they could only block the Japanese troops behind here first, and then get rid of this group of Japanese troops after it was getting late.
The number of devils who caught up first was not very large, only twenty or thirty, and as soon as they appeared, they were overturned by the fierce fire of the special agent company, and the rest were immediately beaten back into the jungle.
Taking advantage of the devil's temporary retreat, Fang Zhenyu asked everyone to take turns to rest, drink some water and eat something, and check the ammunition situation.
In the past few days, they have been fighting repeatedly, the ammunition consumption is not small, and the bullets left on each person are not enough, so they have to save some ammunition.
The veterans took the initiative to collect some Japanese ammunition from the position, took the two devil's ninety-six light machine guns from the hands of the four crew members, and used the captured Japanese ammunition to replenish the ammunition of the two machine guns.
In addition, they inspected several light machine guns on the Japanese positions and found that most of them, including the Type 92 heavy machine gun, were damaged by Li Wang's mortar, and only one Type 96 could still be used, so they packed it up and made up for it.
However, the Japanese did not leave them much time to rest, and the follow-up Japanese troops began to arrive here one after another, and soon gathered more than a hundred Japanese troops, and once again began to attack Fang Zhenjue's position.
These Japanese troops all saw the corpses of their colleagues on the ground in front of the position, one by one they were shocked and angry, they did not dare to imagine what kind of battle had just taken place here, why so many of their accomplices would die here, the scene here was not like a battle, but like a massacre, the death was basically their Japanese army, but did not find a single enemy's body.
But after observing, they found that the dead Japanese soldiers seemed to have been killed by the enemy's intensive fire on the way to launch a bayonet charge, so they were a little more careful, knowing that the enemy they were catching up with today was not easy to deal with.
At this time, one of their squadron leaders arrived here, took over the command of these Japanese troops, observed the surrounding terrain and battlefield conditions, and found that although the enemy was driven into the river bay, the enemy occupied the position of eating the friendly troops who had once fortified here, and the terrain was not favorable to them.
More importantly, he found that the stream behind the enemy forces could not be an obstacle to the escape of these enemy troops, the stream was not wide and shallow, the water was very gentle, and the enemy could not block their way as long as they wanted to go.
So he had to order an immediate attack to try to eliminate this group of enemies here before dark, even if he knew that this group of enemies was very fierce, he did not have enough troops at hand now, and his firepower might not be able to gain the advantage, but he had no choice but to harden his scalp.
Looking at the corpses of those friendly troops scattered on the battlefield in front of him, this squadron leader was so angry that his teeth were itching, and the situation that had been very good was completely destroyed by this group of friendly troops.
If this group of friendly troops had not just launched a bayonet charge against the enemy like an idiot, they only needed to stay in their positions, block this group of enemies, and wait for him to lead his troops to arrive here, so that they could completely block this group of enemies in this area, and finally attack on both sides and completely annihilate this group of enemy troops.
But now it was better that this group of friendly troops paid the price with their lives for their stupidity, and they were all slaughtered by the enemy in their bravery, and even their preset positions were taken by the enemy.
Although the position occupied by the enemy was not strong, but only temporarily constructed by the friendly troops who were killed, even the simplest defensive positions in this terrain could play a crucial role.
Coupled with the fact that they were pursuing the enemy in the jungle, they did not carry heavy fire weapons such as the Ninety-Two Heavy Machine and the Mortar and the Ninety-Two Rifle, and only carried a small number of grenadiers and light machine guns to attack such positions, and the enemy also had strong firepower, which was really a little difficult for them.
The originally good situation has now made them difficult to ride a tiger, which is caused by the incompetence of those stupid friendly forces, and even if they die, they can be said to be unsympathetic.
Those Japanese soldiers who died on the ground, if they knew about the underground at this time, were estimated to be able to come back to life again, they were considered to have died in vain, and even their own people did not sympathize with their bravery, and regarded them as a group of fools looking for death.
The form of Fang Zhenjue's side has basically been completely reversed now, and now they can attack and retreat, but they can still go, so they are not in a hurry to go again.
After the guys rested for a while, they saw that the Japanese did not attack, so they took out the Japanese sapper shovels and sapper pickaxes that they had carried or captured, and began to strengthen the bunkers on the position.
The Japanese positions here were temporarily repaired by the Japanese army just now, and it seems that the time for repair is not long, and it is relatively hasty, which shows that the Japanese army is temporarily fortified here to intercept them after determining the direction of their retreat.
Therefore, the position was repaired very hastily, basically it was mainly based on single soldier bunkers, and the digging was relatively shallow, basically some lying single soldier bunkers, whether it was bullet avoidance or artillery avoidance, the performance was very limited, so taking advantage of this time, the guys who seized this position were not willing to idle, and after eating and drinking and breathing, they did a big job.
They dug the individual bunker down, deepened from the lying bunker to the kneeling bunker, and thickened and raised the chest wall, greatly improving the protection ability of the individual soldiers, and they also dug a shallow communication trench between the individual bunkers, although very shallow, but they could climb into the bunker next to it, so as to avoid the exposure of the body and be shot by the accurate shooters of the Japanese army.
While his men were busy, Fang Zhenyu went to interrogate the two captured Japanese soldiers, one of whom was a recruit at first glance, but only a second-class soldier, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and at this time he was scared to the point of farting and, kneeling on the ground and constantly prostrating his head, begging for forgiveness in Japanese.
Without trial, I also knew that this boy must have just been replenished from the country to Burma, young and had not undergone much training, and he was still a coward, and he was scared as soon as he went to the battlefield, no wonder he did not follow the other Japanese soldiers to launch a suicide charge, hiding here without resistance and being captured.
Lü Garn only asked a brief question, he explained thoroughly, this little devil's name is Yamaguchi Kyojiro, is a Japanese Kyushu Kurume person, used to be a junior high school student, the family is doing small business, his father has long been conscripted into the army, and he was forcibly conscripted into the army just after graduation, after only more than a month of training, he was loaded on a ship and sent to Southeast Asia, and later transported to Burma, supplemented by the Fifty-sixth Regiment of the Eighteenth Division.
This boy was very timid, he was not very different from other Japanese people of the same age, probably because they came from a small business, family education had a greater impact on him, he did not like war, he only wanted to live at home with his mother, there was a sister in the family, and after his father was conscripted into the army, he was left with a man in the family.
So he didn't want to be a soldier, but just after graduating from junior high school, he was forcibly recruited into the army and became a supplementary soldier.
After he arrived at the Fifty-sixth Wing, he was very discriminated against in the squadron, because the shooting level was very poor, he was often beaten, and things like brushing the toilet and taking out the toilet, the veterans let him do it, and it was not his turn to take the meal first, they could not eat enough, and often by the time he was cooking, there was nothing left.
So when he arrived in the Hukang Valley, he had only one thought every day, that is, he was hungry and wanted to eat a full meal, but no one sympathized with him, and the veterans tried to abuse him, saying that he hated war, and he didn't want to fight at all.
During this time they were stationed at a stronghold between Varouban and Dingoshakan, where their squadrons had been ordered to garrison strongholds next to this unknown stream since the first attack on Valuban.
His daily job was to look around for something to eat in the jungle around the camp, without much training at all, and yesterday they were ordered to patrol here, and this morning they were ordered to set up an interception position here, saying that it was possible that the enemy would pass through here.
So their squadron leader took them and built a temporary position here, but they did not expect that the position was not completed, and Fang Zhenyu arrived.
They sent scouts in the jungle, and the scouts first found Fang Zhenjue's scouts, but instead of immediately exchanging fire, they returned here to report the news, so they grasped the movements of Fang Zhenjue's gang and blocked Fang Zhenjue's party here.
But their squadron leader was a fool, and was fighting well, and after just a few shells, he ordered them to launch a bayonet charge, hoping to annihilate Fang Zhenjue and his gang with a bayonet charge.
As a result, they were killed by Fang Zhenyu, smashing their bayonet charge and slaughtering the people they rushed up.
Just now, in front of them, their squadron leader had shot a new recruit who had fled back like him, forcing the rest of them to launch a deadly charge.
He was so frightened that he did not dare to rush out, and as a result he became a prisoner.
Fang Zhenjue also did not pay attention to this little devil, for this kind of recruit egg who had just gone to the battlefield and did not have Chinese blood on his hands, he did not hate them very much, but he did not feel sympathetic to them.
After the interrogation, Fang Zhenyu made a look, the warriors executed the two devils, whether this devil had a crime or not, his feet on the land of China, is guilty, not to mention, this devil knows that he has been caught by Chinese, in order to survive, he can only beautify himself, whether there is really no crime, only he himself knows.
Tribute to the heroes of the Expeditionary Force!
