Chapter 564

After the first and five squads of the commando team met with the second squad of the commando team, they pursued the Japanese army in a fan shape.

Zhang Junhao carried a sack and put the semi-automatic rifle on his shoulders. While walking forward, he threw giant grenades at the Japanese army.

Nowadays, the Japanese army is relatively concentrated, and the power of giant grenades is exerted. Giant grenades are constantly exploding in the Japanese army like artillery shells, not only blowing up a large area, but also completely destroying the confidence of the Japanese army.

Yu'er and two guards ran and chased Zhang Junhao.

When the Japanese army fled to the intersection with the Grand Canyon, the commando teams and five squads of commandos that were ambushing there immediately sprayed bullet rain at the Japanese army. The Japanese army opened their eyes wide and frightened in the rain of bullets and fell down one after another.

The ambush won a complete victory. Although the process was full of twists and turns, the ending was very beautiful. About five hundred Japanese troops tried to come and grab food, and none of them were destroyed by the commando.

Three battles and three victories, and the number of Japanese troops alone was eliminated, reaching 2,300 people.

The first column of the Japanese attack on Kohima was destroyed by more than 3,000 under the bombing of US and British aircraft, and nearly half of the Japanese troops in the first column were eliminated.

Just as the commando ambushed the Japanese army, dozens of US and British planes were still searching and bombing the Japanese army on the southeast side of Kohima City. US and British Air Force pilots had flew over to observe that because the two armies had a narrow combat area and could not bomb, they could only fly away.

The sky in this area is completely controlled by the US and British Air Force.

Major General Miyazaki Shinsaburo, the commander of the first Japanese column who was hiding in the cave, learned that more than 500 Japanese troops were ambushed and annihilated while robbing grain. The news was shattered, and tears were in his eyes. Only half of the troops were left, and only two thousand teams could be used for attack. How can we conquer Kohima City with only two thousand troops? Kohima City is as strong as a wall. According to the current attack method, even in the Year of the Monkey, the defense line cannot be broken. During the day, American and British aircraft bombarded it and the attack was impossible.

The key is that the first column has run out of food. From now on, the team has to collect the grain carried by each officer and soldier and implement the rationing system. All officers and soldiers can only eat half a kilogram of food every day.

Major General Shinsaburo Miyazaki gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to concentrate all the artillery of the First Column and bomb the Kohima defense line at night.

The first column mountain artillery wing and infantry wing now have 5 Type 99 105mm mountain artillery, 20 Type 94 90mm light mortars, 10 Type 2 120mm medium mortars, 10 Type 97 150mm short mortars, and 15 Type 94 90mm light mortars.

In the past, it was used in dispersed manner because it was worried that it would be blown up by US-UK aircraft.

Time is too tight now, and if we cannot break through the Koshima defense line, the battle will not be able to continue. Major General Hansanro Miyazaki decided to take the initiative and gather all the artillery in a large cave on the hillside on the west side of the command headquarters. At night, they will all be pulled out to bomb the Koshima defenders' positions on the ridge line, and strive to break through the Koshima defense line as soon as possible.

The cave was surrounded by towering trees, and the planes flew over the treetops, and they could not even be discovered.

At the British Army Headquarters in Impal City, 150 kilometers away, General Slim received a telegram from Zhang Junhao's commando. He was ecstatic when he learned that Zhang Zhang Junhao led the commando to eliminate another 500 Japanese troops. Although Impal was in a difficult situation, good news came from Zhang Junhao, which inspired him.

General Slim not only admired Zhang Junhao, but also was grateful. In his mind, Zhang Junhao fought against Wingate Special Forces on the Lambga platform. This was a great warrior. He was still commanding a small team. If he was allowed to command tens of thousands of troops, he would have the ability to eliminate the 15th Japanese Army.

General Slim felt ashamed of his failure to talk to Zhang Junhao when he was in Lambga, and he did not care for Zhang Junhao, and even looked down on the Chinese officers. He decided to have a good drink and talk to Zhang Junhao if he had the opportunity. If he might suggest that the king award Zhang Junhao the title. Yes! Just because Zhang Junhao successfully rescued the British parachuting special forces that were surrounded by the Japanese army, he should award Zhang Junhao the title.

General Slim is very low-key, and modern Chinese are not familiar with this British general.

In the West, General Slim is a famous general in the world. In February 1998, the British "Focus" monthly magazine reviewed the "Top Ten Military Commanders of the World". General Slim was ranked first and ranked first among the top ten commanders.

General Mountbatten, the highest commander of the British army and commander of the Southeast Asian Allied Forces, also came to Impal.

General Mountbatten had great pressure on his shoulders. In the mountainous areas of Rakhara, two divisions of the Japanese army were launching an attack. In the Impal and Kohima areas, three divisions of the Japanese army were attacking, and eight divisions of the Japanese army were attacking. Because of the narrow area in the Rakhara, the Japanese army was relatively easy to block the attack. In the mountainous areas of Impal and Kohima, the Japanese army climbed the plateau again and had many attack paths. Once any place in Impal and Kohima was lost, the Japanese army could obtain supplies on the spot, and the future battles would not be fought.

The 14th Army under General Slim's command, the 33rd Army Command, was fighting against the 31st Japanese Division in Dimapur, in a vast area of ​​the Kohima region. The 23rd Division under its jurisdiction was assisting in the defense of Impal.

The 4th Army Headquarters was in Impal, one of which could block the 33rd Japanese Division, which was attacking Impal in multiple routes from the direction of Jilingmiao, and the other was to block the 15th Japanese Division that was attacking from Xidang and Pangbin.

General Mountbatten felt that his troops were still insufficient and he felt that he was unable to defend himself.

After lunch, General Mountbatten and General Wingate came to the 14th Army Command to listen to General Slim's report in General Slim's combat command room.

In front of the huge map on the wall, the three generals stood side by side.

General Slim pointed to the map with a metal rod and explained in detail the deployment of the 14th Army and the Japanese offensive to General Mountbatten and General Wingate. There were more than a dozen battle points, and each battle point was very fierce. Any point must be held. Once it was broken through by the Japanese army, it would have a negative impact on the entire battle situation.

Finally, we will focus on the Kohima area. The 31st Division of the Japanese army has more than 30,000 troops, divided into three columns to attack Kohima. The northern route is the first column, with more than 10,000 troops under the command of Major General Hansanro Miyazaki. He is heavily attacking Kohima City. Once Kohima City is captured by the Japanese army, the materials gathered in that area will be seized by the Japanese army.

General Stilwell sent Zhang Junhot melee team to land in Kohima City. Zhang Junhao arranged the main force to defend the last ridge and block the Japanese army under the ridge. Zhang Junhao personally led a commando of only 200 people to guerrilla wars against the Japanese army. He won three battles and three victories. He wiped out more than 1,000 Japanese troops in one World War and destroyed the Japanese army looted food. In World War II, he attacked the Japanese supplies base, wiped out eight hundred Japanese troops, and destroyed the Japanese supplies base, not only destroyed the food carried by the Japanese army, but also killed all the Japanese army for eating cattle and sheep. This morning, the Japanese food robbery team was ambushed and more than 500 Japanese troops were wiped out. The Japanese army was heavily attacked.

After hearing this, General Montmarton stared at the map, took a breath, nodded slightly, and whispered: "Zhang Junhao is indeed the God of War. Stilwell calls him Thor, and it is true. Only two hundred people can achieve such fruitful results in such a dangerous environment. I can't imagine that more than half of the troops in the first column of the Japanese army have been consumed, and their offensive capabilities will inevitably be severely weakened."

General Slim nodded and said, "I am accelerating the dispatch of troops and using ground advancement and airborne to reinforce Kohima."

General Mountbatten nodded and said, "Koshima must be kept. Only by defending Koshima can we defend Impal."

General Slim pointed to Ledo and said, "A brigade of General Wingate has arrived in Ledo, and Ledo is worry-free."

General Mountbatten looked at General Wingate and asked with a smile: "How is your other brigades now?"

General Wingate said: "A brigade commander has airborne behind enemy lines, and other teams are waiting for the order. The airborne brigade is located in a tropical rainforest area and has difficulty in finding fighter jets."

General Mountbatten said: "It seems that in such a vast area, the battles of each team are very stalemate, and only Zhang Junhao is a shining point."

General Slim nodded and said, "The Zhang Junhot melee team is definitely the main force that defends Kohima City and deals a heavy blow to the Japanese army. If the Zhang Junhot melee team had not airborne Kohima City, I cannot guarantee that Kohima City is still in our hands."

General Mountbatten nodded and said, "The three of us jointly sent a telegram to Zhang Junhao to praise Zhang Junhao for his three victories and told him that Kohima City is still in extreme danger, and encouraged him to maintain the current offensive posture against the Japanese army and strive to continue to attack the Japanese army in the future battles. We must resolutely repel the Japanese army attacking Kohima."

While General Mountbatten, General Slim and General Wingate were talking, Zhang Junhao started drinking coffee with the pastor, Xie Xinming and Wang Jinxian at the church.

The commandos all rested.

The pastor cared about the people and asked Zhang Junhao when the people could return home after they escaped.

Zhang Junhao told the pastor that although the Japanese army was cruel, they did not regard massacre of the people as their top priority. Now that the Japanese army has suffered heavy losses, British troops from all walks of life are coming to reinforce, and I believe that the Japanese army will not dare to send teams to grab food easily.

After the people return home, if they can arrange personnel to monitor the Japanese army, once they find that the Japanese army is coming, they will inform them and transfer them immediately. Safety should be guaranteed.

Zhang Junhao suggested that people from the surrounding churches should be contacted to mobilize the people of nearby villages to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and cut off the Japanese army's idea of ​​robbing grain.
