Chapter 600 The Turning Point of the Imphal Battle

At twelve o'clock in the evening, there were only more than 200 remaining Japanese troops, hiding in jungles of about a square kilometer, and the jungle was surrounded by all sides.

Mortar shells flew into the jungle one after another, and incendiary bombs one after another.

The jungle was burning with raging fires, and the Japanese army hiding in the jungle was like a devil, rushing toward the fire like a wolf.

Colonel Kisano, the captain of the 51st Regiment of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, hid in a place and ordered the sender to send a report to Lieutenant General Yamauchi, the commander of the 15th Division, saying that Ukruel had gathered heavy troops from the Chindi Army. The brigade he led was besieged by the Chindi Army in the jungle northeast of Ukruel City. The ammunition had been exhausted, the team had been disbanded, and the entire army was about to be wiped out.

After the telegram was sent, Colonel Kisano Omoto ordered the radio station to be smashed and all the documents were thrown into the fire.

Colonel Kisano Omoto knelt down to the east and shouted: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the enemy is too cunning, I am trapped. I don't want to die, I still want to continue fighting for you! Save me!"

A burning bomb flew over and exploded beside Colonel Kisano Omoto, and the fire instantly engulfed Colonel Kisano Omoto. Colonel Kisano Omoto jumped up like a conditioned reflex, and after a few jumps, he fell into the fire and did not move.

The Emperor cannot save him, nor will he come to save him.

When he was in Zhejiang, due to his good luck, Omoto Kisano was not killed by Zhang Junhot's melee team. In Ukruel, his luck was finally exhausted and he was burned to death by the incendiary bomb thrown by Zhang Junhao.

Zhang Junhao and Colonel Les stood side by side, watching the burning jungle, their hearts surging.

Colonel Les smiled and said, "It's so exciting to follow you to fight! If I hadn't followed you to fight in Kumenling, how could I be today?"

Colonel Les suddenly burst into tears in his eyes, and he sighed heavily and said, "After you arrived in Koshimalay, I continued to fight with Mairel. The battle was too awkward, and the entire team was almost gone."

Zhang Junhaoyao looked towards Myitkyina and said with a wry smile: "The Myitkyina battle does require careful summary and reflection. The Japanese army has only about 2,000 troops, and tens of thousands of troops are attacking, and so many people have been injured and killed, and no substantial progress has been made. If I didn't go, Myitkyina may still be in the hands of the Japanese army."

Colonel Luce said: "The past is unbearable to look back. I want to thank General Wingate for giving me the opportunity to follow you again."

Zhang Junhao said: "In the eyes of ordinary people, General Wingate is undoubtedly a weird person. He likes to hang an alarm clock around his waist. He wears the strange sun hat wherever he goes. It is said that he likes to eat onions raw, and even believes that eating onions is enough to provide the nutrition needed by the body. It is said that he is accustomed to being naked and often embarrassing others. It is said that he does not like taking a bath, but brushes his body with a brush. I think there is an endless heart hidden under his perverse appearance. He regards himself as a tool of destiny, and is the embodiment of some unknown force. A strong sense of mission has laid his great achievements. Without great personality power, he cannot achieve such an amazing success now. He is for those who have poor fate and

The oppressed nation has deep sympathy, and his pious religious beliefs are strongly pursued by justice. I know a lot about him, so I used many of them. However, I also had close contact with him. When I was in Kohima, he came from Impal and drank coffee with me. I also kept a bottle of red wine he gave to him, waiting for him to drink with him. He gave me an Arabian sword symbolizing authority. We agreed that I must kill a Japanese general and seize the command knife of the Japanese general to give him as a return gift. General Wingate is a military genius, adventurer, and a legendary hero. I have deep respect for him."

Colonel Luce's eyes were filled with tears again, and Zhang Junhao praised his immediate boss, which moved him.

Colonel Les laughed and said, "If General Wingate knew that you had such a high opinion of him, he would be very happy. He regarded you as the most outstanding special operations expert and the greatest hero, thinking that you were the messenger of God, from Mount Olympia, and the most amazing military strategist that has never appeared in the world's military history. He said that you are invincible in the world, and that you can conquer the whole world if you want. When he was in Impal, he had a long talk with me, and he said that he really wanted to imitate the Chinese folk practices and become sworn brothers with you."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "General Wingate and General Slim made a decision together to let my special melee team and your troops airborne Ukruhr. I thought this move would leave a strong mark in the history of world military. This is a genius decision and will surely reverse the situation of the Battle of Impal."

Colonel Les nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! Cut off the Japanese retreat and shake the Japanese army's morale. I also think that the entire battle situation will inevitably undergo a great change. But what should our troops do next? General Wingate instructed me to listen to yours and ask you to give instructions. I promise to implement it resolutely."

Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "In the mountains on the north side, the special melee team destroyed the transport convoy of the 31st Division of the Japanese Army. Now we have eliminated a battalion of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army. The 15th Army Command of the Japanese Army should know that Ukruel was occupied by us. Since the 15th Army Command knew, the 31st Division must know immediately. However, due to the long journey and the front-line war was stalemate, it will take several days to react. In the next few days, there may be no war here. But once there is a war, it will be continuous and will last for a long time. This will definitely become another center of the Battle of Impal. Immediately send a report to General Slim and General Wingate to report good news. Tell them that I decided to move all the supplies in Ukruel to the mountains on the north side, establish a base in the mountains on the side, and make long-term combat preparations."

Colonel Les shouted yes.

At three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Junhao led the commando and artillery to the main peak of the mountain on the north side.

Colonel Les returned to the city.

Colonel Les has two major things to do tomorrow, one is to transport supplies to the mountains on the north side, and the other is to clean up the battlefield, so he cannot lead the team to the mountains on the north side immediately.

Zhang Junhao had nothing to worry about in Ukruel City, and Zhang Junhao had no plans to stick to Ukruel City. His plan was to rely on the mountains on the north side, cut off the Kohima troops and all the mountain paths leading to Ukruel, and put the battle in the mountains. Moreover, the commando did not have a camp in the city, and it was closer to the main peak, so Zhang Junhao simply went to the main peak of the mountain on the north side overnight to meet with the main force.

Zhang Junhao commented that General Wingate was a military genius. In fact, Zhang Junhao definitely grew up to be a military master at this time. No one can defeat his combat power, judgment and decision-making ability. Under the command of Zhang Junhao, the extremely small special melee team played an extremely critical role in the battle, far better than a division or even an army.

When Zhang Junhao led the commando to the main peak of the mountain on the north side, Manglei in the southeast of Impal, Lieutenant General Mutaguchiya, commander of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army, stood in front of the map, furious and scolded Lieutenant General Yamauchi, the commander of the 15th Division, and Lieutenant General Sato Yukitoki, who was a fool, and a fool.

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi was first extremely angry at the act of sending troops to Ukruel to grab grain. Secondly, he was deeply confused about the 15th Division's 51st Regiment Captain Omoto Kisano, who personally led a brigade to grab grain, but was wiped out by the entire army. How could a main brigade of the 15th Division be completely wiped out in such a short time? A brigade was completely wiped out in such a strange way, and Yamauchi Masahiro must take full responsibility. Lieutenant General Mutaguchi was so angry that he vomited blood for the battle fought by the 31st Division. How much troops had he lost in Kohima? Once he even fooled him and said that he had occupied Kohima, which made him happy. What was the result? The soldiers were defeated and the general was defeated.

This time the baggage corps went to Ukruhr to transport grain, but was wiped out by unknown troops. The division headquarters did not know it. If Yamauchi's main text did not tell the 31st Division headquarters, the 31st Division headquarters would have been kept in the dark.

At this time, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya had the idea of ​​replacing Lieutenant General Sato Yukito Sato and Lieutenant General Yamauchi, the commander of the 15th Division.

In the direction of Kohima, Lieutenant General Sato Yoshito received a telegram from Lieutenant General Mutaguchi, commander of the 15th Army. The telegram informed him of a brigade of the 15th Division, led by Colonel Kisano Omoto, to go to Ukruel to rush to transport grain and was wiped out. He asked about the situation of his grain transport convoy sent to Ukruel. Only then did Sato Yoshito send a report to the logistics corps headquarters to understand the situation. As a result, the telegram was sent, and there was no news. Only then did Sato Yoshito realize that something was a big deal. He called back to Lieutenant General Mutaguchi, commander of the 15th Army, explaining the situation, and requesting the 15th Army headquarters to assist in the investigation.

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Guchi was not angry when he received such a telegram. How could he not be angry? The 31st Division team disappeared, so why do you still need the military headquarters to assist in the investigation? What a ghost! It must have been eliminated by the airborne Ukruhr team.

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi, commander of the 15th Army of the Japanese army, cursed Lieutenant General Sato Kotoku, the commander of the 31st Division, and Lieutenant General Yamauchi, after he communicated with him, he wanted to remove them, but because he was fighting, he could not withdraw. After his anger was slightly relieved, he personally sent an order to the two division commanders, ordering them to lead the team to launch a strong attack on the enemy in front of him and achieve the battle goals within a time limit. If the battle goals are not achieved, he will be immediately dismissed. If there is obvious fault, he will be sent to the military court for disposal.

The tone was so stern that it was unprecedented and did not leave any room for bargaining for the two division commanders.
