Chapter 389 Consumption? It depends on who can't hold on first! The glimmer of morning light has just fallen on this devastated city, and the dilapidated buildings are like silent giants, witnessing the coming tragic storm. The originally bustling city was completely reduced to ruins after being burned by petrol bombs. As for the so-called traces of special bombs, they have long since disappeared. "This is a good thing. All the so-called traces are gone." Duan Zhenguo put down the telescope with a sigh on his face. Those original worries are long gone. Once the fire was burned, there were only traces of the fire. How could there be any special bombs? Even if the Japanese army wants to sue or something? No one would believe it either. Not even a trace.
At the same time, Duan Zhenguo admired Cun Yunsheng very much. This was a plan that had been planned for a long time. No wonder they sent him a telegram asking him to use special bombs. "It would be great if there were tens of thousands more coins. Then the whole city would be burned down." Duan Zhenguo said with emotion. "Tens of thousands?" Others couldn't help but clicked their tongues after hearing this. It is estimated that Shen Zuo, who is far away in Hanoi, will give him a slap in the face after hearing this. In fact, Cun Yunsheng also wanted to get tens of thousands of them. There is no key. The hundreds of napalm bombs that I finally saved were all used this time. Instead, he sent a report to Stilwell, requesting a batch of napalm bombs. Currently, only the US military can produce this thing, and even he can only rely on golden fingers to extract it. So if you want tens of thousands of coins, it’s basically out of the question. However, Stilwell agreed to try to get a batch of napalm bombs. "Yes, this thing is really useful against the Japanese army. No matter how stubborn the Japanese army is, you can only wait for death in the face of this monstrous flame." Duan Zhenguo is now completely in love with this weapon, and he wishes to get more of it. . "Indeed, it is a good weapon to deal with the Japanese army, but there shouldn't be many of them, otherwise we wouldn't have released just such a few." Someone told the truth. "Okay, let the punishment battalion assemble and continue the attack." Duan Zhenguo waved his hand and then said. "When this wave of punishment battalions is almost exhausted, we will send out armored troops." Hearing this, someone couldn't help but say. "Sir, the punishment camp has been almost exhausted. In total, there have been tens of thousands of casualties in the past few days, and almost everyone left is injured. New personnel have not arrived yet, and I am afraid that they will not be able to go to the battlefield for a while." "That's it." Duan Zhenguo said with some regret.
"Then let those indigenous troops go to the battlefield. Don't they have Japs' tanks? Let them go to the battlefield. It's time for them to move around after such a long rest." "yes." Not long after, the troops of the 3rd Siam Division slowly assembled outside the city. The roar of tanks and the footsteps of soldiers intertwined, breaking the silence of dawn. Major General Chachai, the commander of the Siamese Third Division who led the team, stood next to a Japanese armored vehicle, holding a telescope in his hand and staring at the city ahead that was occupied by the Japanese army. His eyes were firm and cold, and he knew in his heart that the next battle would be extremely difficult. Because he knew the Japanese army very well. No! In other words, he knows Yamashita Fengfumi better. This was when the Fourth Division was training him, and they specifically emphasized that Yamashita Fengfumi was a very difficult opponent. If you encounter one, be careful. "Move forward." Major General Chachai waved his hand, signaling for his men to move forward. Inside the city, the commanders of each Japanese army regiment were inspecting the fortifications with solemn expressions. The soldiers were busy carrying ammunition and strengthening trenches and bunkers. Especially those positions that were burned by gasoline bombs need to be re-reinforced. Because all Japanese troops knew that the next enemy attack would be devastating. But Yamashita Fengwen's order was to defend the city. "Enemy attack, shelling, take cover quickly." I heard sharp whistling sounds coming from the sky. After being baptized by artillery fire, the Japanese third-line troops began to slowly transform at this moment. Hearing the sound of gunfire, he subconsciously looked for a bunker to hide. In the sky, artillery fire outside the city poured into the city like a torrential rain. The roar of the shell explosion was deafening, flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed. The Japanese army's position was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire, and the soldiers looked at everything in front of them in despair amid the artillery fire. Now they have no decent counterattack means at all. The only things that can be taken out are machine guns and some Type 92 infantry cannons. Under the cover of tanks, the infantrymen of Chachai's 3rd Siam Division slowly advanced towards the city. They carefully walked through the craters and ruins, alert to the Japanese firepower that might appear at any time. Every step forward comes with huge risks. At a street corner, the Japanese army suddenly fired a barrage of bullets from a hidden bunker, and several soldiers fell to the ground instantly.
The other Siamese soldiers also reacted very quickly. They immediately got down and started calling for tank support. Because it was a temporary bunker without steel and cement, it could not withstand the bombing of tanks. Soon the bunker was destroyed. At this time, the battle also entered a fierce stage. The tanks of the 3rd Siam Division struggled forward on the narrow streets and were attacked by Japanese soldiers from time to time. Especially those Japanese soldiers holding anti-tank grenades. Rush forward desperately, and then die together with the tank. The fire and smoke from the explosion filled the air. The Japanese soldiers used the ruins and buildings of the city to launch tenacious street fighting. They fired from windows, rooftops, and basements, causing great distress to the soldiers of the 3rd Siam Division. "Assholes, these **** Japanese troops." Major General Chachai's face turned pale as he listened to his subordinates' report. In just a short time, his troops lost thousands of people. If we wait for the battle to end, I'm afraid there won't be many people left in the division. No wonder those in the punishment camp suffered such heavy losses. The tenacity of the Japanese army exceeded his imagination. Thinking of this, Major General Chachai ordered a clearing house by house and lane by lane. Although the order is simple, the battle is extremely cruel. I saw a Siamese soldier holding his rifle carefully. Before he took two steps, he was hit in the leg by a stray bullet. He fell to the ground, groaning in pain. His comrades on the side wanted to save him, but the Japanese firepower prevented them from getting close. "Save me." The Siamese soldier who fell to the ground wailed in pain and looked at his comrades not far away. Seeing that his comrades could not move forward at all, the Siamese soldier knew that there was little hope of rescuing him, so he could only grit his teeth, support his body with his rifle, and try to crawl back to safety. But in the end, he was hit again by Japanese bullets and fell to this land forever. Battles like this are very common. After all, the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light, so it is impossible to guard against them. Major General Chachai looked at the increasing number of casualties and felt anxious. But he knew that he could not retreat and must conquer the city as soon as possible. Otherwise, cruel military law will be waiting for him. Therefore, we can only adjust our tactics, concentrate our firepower on attacking important Japanese strongholds, and temporarily abandon other places. At the same time, artillery support was called to bomb the suspected Japanese headquarters in the city. Duan Zhenguo did not refuse Major General Chachai's request.
Then artillery fire struck again. In fact, at this time, the Lion City had long lost the meaning of bombing. Because they are all in ruins, there is no point in continuing the bombing. After the artillery fire ended, the Japanese army and the Siamese soldiers started a close-quarters fight. Soldiers from both sides fought to the death with bayonets, rifle butts and fists. In the intertwining of blood and fire, the cruelty and bravery of human nature are vividly displayed. The battle was extremely cruel. However, despite fighting with bayonets, the Japanese army did have the upper hand. It didn't take long for the Siamese 3rd Division to retreat again. It's just that the Japanese army didn't feel comfortable here either. "Baga, so many losses?" Yamashita Fengwen looked in disbelief after receiving the battle report. "Hai." The communications staff officer who came to report immediately responded. "Your Excellency, Commander, I suspect that the enemy is deliberately consuming our effective forces. According to our observations, they don't seem to care about casualties at all, and many of the troops are indigenous." At this time, the combat staff said. "I know what you said." Yamashita Fengwen is not a fool, so he naturally knows this, but he has no good solution for a while. What caused the Japanese army to do something so ridiculous that they completely offended the indigenous people. Now even if they want to recruit the indigenous people, it is too late. Now they can only watch helplessly as the enemy consumes their vitality. "What did Commander Kimura say? When will there be reinforcements?" Yamashita Fengfumi asked tiredly. A year ago, he defeated the British army with great enthusiasm. Only a short time later, the situation took a turn for the worse. Now he could only watch his men being continuously consumed, and there was no way he could do anything about it. "Commander Kimura said that he is thinking of ways to mobilize reinforcements to let us continue to persist." The communications staff said bravely. "Bagaya Road." Yamashita Fengwen was completely speechless. If there were no reinforcements, if he continued to waste like this for a while, he might really be doomed. "Tell all regiments to hold on and wait for reinforcements." "Hai." … "So cruel? Tens of thousands of people were consumed in just a few days?" Meng Fanglia was shocked when he looked at the telegram that had just been sent. This consumption is really too great. Tens of thousands of people were just lost. Originally, he was worried that something would happen if there were too many people in the punishment camp. In the end, I was just worrying blindly. In his eyes, there are many people, but they are not enough to consume. "It's not much. Where are we? The Soviet-German battlefield consumes tens of thousands of people every day. Let's just make a small fuss. Don't make a fuss." Cun Yunsheng looked very calm.
All this time, he felt that he was just making a small fuss here. The tens of thousands of people who have been gone for a few days are not many at all. It is estimated that on the Soviet-German battlefield, no one would take it seriously. "Is this a small fuss? It's too cruel for tens of thousands of people to be consumed in one city like this?" Meng Fanxia still couldn't accept it. "You know how cruel it is? Otherwise, why didn't I let Duan Zhenguo attack the Lion City? Wasn't it just to reduce the number of casualties caused by street fighting? Now it seems that thanks to those punishment camps, otherwise I don't know what to do. " "We can't let the navy's warships attack the Lion City, right? Those shore defense guns are not vegetarian." Cun Yunsheng said with emotion. Normally, naval warships will take a detour when encountering a port with coastal defense artillery. Unless there is no way around it, you will choose to be tough. But be prepared for huge casualties. After all, shore defense artillery with complete fortifications is not that easy to deal with. And there must be battleships to hold the line. As for the battleship, Cun Yunsheng didn't have one, so he didn't choose to let the navy help. For him, the best way is to consume human life. He did not believe that the Japanese army could withstand this endless consumption. After all, the Japanese army has a bigger plate than him. Soldiers are needed everywhere. Reinforcements were too late. Therefore, as long as he keeps spending, he will definitely win. "Okay, don't think so much. There are still hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Nanyang. The next battle will basically be a competition of attrition. Whoever can't hold on first will lose. Fortunately, we still have the US military, occupying Huge advantage." Cun Yunsheng patted Meng Fanle on the shoulder and said with a smile. "Yes." Meng Fanxiao nodded to express his understanding. In fact, not only is his consumption here huge, but Guadalcanal's consumption on the other side is also very huge, and the US military's consumption is not lower than his at all. Guadalcanal was originally like a green gem set in the blue sea. As a result, due to the outbreak of war, this green gem was shrouded in smoke. Especially when the US military took advantage of its naval and air superiority to land on Guadalcanal, this quiet island completely became a battlefield. Both the United States and Japan know that the gains and losses on Guadalcanal will determine the next battle. Therefore, Lieutenant General Hyakutake Haruyoshi, the defender of Guadalcanal, decided to send a force to retake Guadalcanal and completely drive away the US troops who landed on Guadalcanal. At this time, Lieutenant General Hyakutake Harukichi stood on a high ground, holding a telescope and looking into the distance with a solemn expression. Behind him were a group of Japanese soldiers with equally solemn expressions.
They knew that the coming battle would be a brutal life and death contest. Guadalcanal is crucial to the Japanese army. It is not only a strategic location, but also a key stronghold for them on the Pacific battlefield. But now, the US military's landing has put them in a passive position. Especially with the landing of the US troops, Lieutenant General Hyakutake Haruyoshi knew that if he did not drive the US troops into the sea, once they gained a foothold, what awaited him would be the fall of Guadalcanal. "Gentlemen, Guadalcanal is the key to the empire. We must fight to the death to regain this land!" Lieutenant General Hyakutake Harukichi's voice echoed in the wind, firm and decisive. "For the empire! For the emperor!" The eyes of the Japanese soldiers behind him were burning with fighting spirit, and their hearts were filled with the desire for victory. But MacArthur was not a fool. Since he decided to take Guadalcanal first, he must build strong defenses on Guadalcanal and replenish a large amount of ammunition and supplies. Faced with this situation, the plan chosen by Lieutenant General Hyakutake Harukichi was a night attack. Use the cover of night to attack the . military positions by surprise. So he selected the most elite soldiers to form a commando team and conducted rigorous training and preparation. "The Emperor is on board." Lieutenant General Hyakutake Haruyoshi shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him. "The Emperor is on board." "The Emperor is on board." Looking at the soldiers with high morale, Lieutenant General Hyakutake Haruyoshi waved his hand and motioned for them to set off. (End of chapter)
