Chapter 670 Burning the Flag of the 113th Regiment
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Junhao received a call from Colonel Zhang Boliang. Colonel Zhang Boliang told Zhang Junhao that he went to the 8th Army headquarters to learn that yesterday the 309th Regiment of the 103rd Division captured a Japanese fortress on the No. 3 Highland, but was captured by the Japanese army at night. The matter was learned by the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. The commander-in-chief issued an order to shoot the regiment commander Chen Yongsi.
Zhang Junhao asked if Captain Chen Yongsi had been shot.
Colonel Zhang Boliang reported that no. Commander He Shaozhou originally wanted to implement the order of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to shoot Chen Yongsi, but all the generals and officials of the military headquarters opposed it, thinking that there were objective reasons for Chen Yongsi's loss of position. Chen Yongsi fought very well in the early stages of the war, and made outstanding achievements. It was a taboo to kill generals at the last minute. Chen Yongsi should be allowed to commit crimes and make meritorious contributions.
Commander He Shaozhou ordered the Army Colonel Wang Guangwei to act as commander of the 309th Regiment, and is now leading the 309th Regiment suicide squad with Chen Yongsi to counterattack the No. 3 Highland.
The reason why Zhang Junhao asked Colonel Zhang Boliang to go to the 8th Army to inquire about the situation was because, first, Colonel Zhang Boliang did not need to participate in combat command and was relatively leisurely. Second, Colonel Zhang Boliang had the identity of the Military Command. He went to the Military Headquarters to understand the situation, and the Military Headquarters would tell the truth.
Zhang Junhao asked Wang Guangwei what kind of person he was.
Colonel Zhang Boliang told Zhang Junhao that Wang Guangwei was the commander of the supplementary regiment of the zy division management area and his military rank was colonel. Because he was familiar with the terrain of this area, he was transferred to the military headquarters as a staff officer.
Zhang Junhao asked Colonel Zhang Boliang to keep in touch with the 8th Army Headquarters and hang up the phone after he was aware of the relevant situation at any time.
Zhang Junhao sighed to Colonel Luo Zhong, and Brandon sighed and said, "It is not easy for the 309th Regiment to fight so tenaciously."
Because this matter is very sensitive, Zhang Junhao couldn't say much before it came out, but he just felt that it was not appropriate to change the generals at the last minute. Although Wang Guangwei was familiar with the local terrain, he was not familiar with the situation of the No. 3 Highland and the 309th Regiment!
After such a long period of hard fighting, the officers and soldiers are all extremely tired and have become the last of their strength. Even if they can recover the No. 3 Highland, they may not be able to defend it. They must have the assistance of the new force, or let the regiment rest for a day to recover their physical strength. Changing the commander is not the best way to improve combat effectiveness. Fortunately, Commander He Shaozhou remained rational and still allowed Chen Yongsi to continue to participate in commanding the battle.
Zhang Junhao continued: "It seems that our special melee team may need to reinforce the 103rd Division. You should do a good job in researching the reinforcement operation plan. If the 8th Army headquarters has orders, we will not be in a hurry."
After dawn, Colonel Zhang Boliang called again and reported that Wang Guangwei and Chen Yongsi led the suicide squad to counterattack, they successfully captured Highland No. 3. Unfortunately, under the counterattack of the Japanese army, the positions were lost again and the team was scattered by the Japanese army. The 8th Army headquarters is now ordering Zhao Fabi, the commander of the Rong 3rd Regiment, who was close to, to lead more than 20 soldiers to rescue urgently.
After answering Zhang Boliang's call, Zhang Junhao was not surprised, and the result was expected.
Only more than 20 soldiers rushed to the rescue? Can 20 soldiers from the Rong 3rd Regiment repel the Japanese army in the No. 3 Highland?
Now the regiment commander always acts as the captain of the suicide squad and personally leads a small number of teams to attack. As a result, Zhang Junhao has to sigh.
At noon, Zhang Junhao received news that Rong 3rd Regiment and the 309th Regiment finally repelled the enemy who counterattacked the No. 3 Highland.
In the afternoon, Xiong Shouchun, commander of the 103rd Division, led the 307th Regiment (attached to the 246th Regiment Strengthening Company and the 103rd Division Engineer Company, searching for the Company), and the 308th Regiment came to Huangjia Shuijing.
Commander Xiong Shouchun conveyed the order of Commander He Shaozhou, requiring the special melee team to reinforce the No. 3 Highland overnight, and work together with the 246th Regiment and the Rong 3rd Regiment to attack the No. 3 Highlands, and strive to eliminate the entire Japanese army in the No. 3 Highlands, and then work together with the 307th Regiment and the 308th Regiment to annihilate the enemies of the 1, 2, 3 Highlands and Malutang.
Tell Zhang Junhao that the 8th Army headquarters is transferring the 1st Battalion of the 244th Regiment on the east bank of Nujiang River to reinforce.
After hearing the orders of Commander Xiong Shouchun from Commander He Shaozhou, Zhang Junhao immediately summoned Colonel Zhang Boliang, Colonel Brandon, Colonel Luo Zhong and Lieutenant Colonel Zachary to hold a short meeting. As soon as the meeting ended, he personally led the special melee team to Highland No. 3 in the night.
Now the attack on the No. 3 Highland team has been replaced by new forces, and the Japanese army is already in a weak position.
Under the strong attack of the army, the Japanese army on Highland No. 3 was quickly wiped out.
Zhang Junhot's melee team did not stop at Heights 3, and then rushed to Heights 1 and 2.
When Zhang Junhao led the special melee team to attack the No. 3 Highland, the adjutant of the Japanese 113th Regiment, Master Zhenguobang, was about to go to the point, and ordered all the seriously injured people gathered in this area to commit suicide. This time, the Japanese seriously injured people did not resist and used various methods to commit suicide. Master Zhenguobang also ordered the murder of comfort women.
All the remaining Japanese troops in Songshan passed through the wing and sent "final disposal" telegrams to the 56th Division.
That night, Lieutenant General Watanabe Masao, the commander of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, received telegrams from the Matsuyama region one after another. After seeing it, his hair was scattered and his haggard face gradually darkened, and his eyes became wandering and blind.
Gu Feng
Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe recalled the scene when he first arrived in Myanmar. How might the 56th Division was so majestic that the enemy was invincible. With just one 113th Regiment, he could block all hundreds of thousands of Chinese Expeditionary Forces on the east side of the Nujiang River. Two years later, the 56th Division turned into a dilapidated thatched hut, and it would collapse if the wind blew.
It's over! The Imperial Army is completely over!
The remaining main force of the 56th Division could not even resist the Chinese army stationed in India. How could there be a team that could be drawn out to reinforce Songshan? I could only watch the Songshan Royal Army being annihilated by the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Two tears gushed out of the red and swollen eyes, and after swaying on the wrinkled face for a while, it continued to roll down.
On midnight, Zhang Junhao visited the rescued comfort women on the north side of Highland No. 3. Through talking to the comfort women, he found that all of these people were Koreans. The comfort women told Zhang Junhao that the Japanese army killed several comfort women, and they escaped, one of them was still with a big belly.
Zhang Junhao immediately called Colonel Zhang Boliang and informed him to rescue all the comfort women, asking Zhang Boliang to treat the comfort women kindly and send them to the 8th Army headquarters when appropriate.
After Zhang Junhao arranged a squad of infantry to protect the comfort women, he led a special melee team to continue to fight towards the No. 1 and No. 2 highlands.
Major Shin-Kuang, the adjutant of the 113th Japanese Regiment, gathered dozens of Japanese troops around him. He knew that no matter how hard the remaining troops tried, they could no longer withstand the attack of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. If they resisted stubbornly, they would inevitably be wiped out.
The Japanese army was in such a situation and had not thought of surrendering yet.
The Master Makoto-san ordered Captain Kinoshita Masaki to lead the remnants to escape in the direction of Tengchong. In the opinion of the Master Makoto-san, it is considered one who can escape.
At this time, when the Japanese army in Songshan wanted to escape, where would there be a chance? The Chinese Expeditionary Force was already everywhere in the No. 1, No. 2 Highlands and Malutang, and the remnants of the Japanese army were already unable to escape.
After Kinoshita Masao had led the remnants to escape for a while in Tengchong, he encountered a blockade and was forced to retreat.
In the early morning, all the Japanese remnants were surrounded by Zhang Junhot melee team in a small woods.
The 113th Japanese Army Regiment, the 113th Japanese Army Regiment, gathered more than 100 Japanese troops who were still alive and said to them: "The year before yesterday, our 113th Regiment came here to pursue the Chinese Expeditionary Force. If the Chinese Expeditionary Force did not blow up Huitong Bridge, the 113th Regiment would definitely go north and kill to Kunming. The Myanmar Front Command ordered the 56th Division to build a fortress here and block the Chinese Expeditionary Force from crossing the Nujiang River. The 113th Regiment took more than two years to carefully design and construct day and night to build the Songshan area into the fortress in the Far East. The 113th Regiment was the most massive, strongest structure and the most stringent system.
It is indeed a long time since the Chinese Expeditionary Force blocked hundreds of thousands of troops east of the Nujiang River. Unfortunately, during the battle with the Sino-US coalition forces in northern Myanmar, the 33rd Army and the 15th Army encountered Zhang Junhao, and the team was severely damaged. Even if one unit was not transferred to this place to assist in defense, we asked our 113th Regiment to draw teams to garrison Tengchong and Longling, so that the 113th Regiment could disperse the troops. Only more than one thousand imperial troops could be arranged in the Songshan area. If all our 113th Regiment were stationed here, I firmly believe that Songshan is still solid and the Chinese Expeditionary Force would not be able to cross the Nujiang River."
Captain Masaki Kinoshita whispered: "The army surrounded by the imperial army is very likely to be Zhang Junhot's melee team!"
The Master of the Zhenguobang said "ah" and then realized it, murmured to himself: "So that's it! No wonder the Huang family's water well is so strong that it will be destroyed by this team. Since Zhang Junhao is here, how can we survive?"
When the Master Zhenguobang heard that there was Zhang Junhot's melee team on the west side, his confidence was completely lost in an instant. He slowly took out the wing flag from his bag and spread it next to the fire.
The young master of the real Guobang was muttering something, and after saying a call, he slowly put the corps flag into the fire.
After the flames lit the military flag, they quickly rose up.
The flames burned to the hands, and the people of Zhenguobang felt a severe pain. They did not release until they did not let go of their hands.
The flag of the 113th Japanese Army Federation was covered with fire and gradually turned into ashes.
The people of Zhenguobang knelt down with a "splash" and all the ghostly Japanese soldiers around him knelt down.
The master of the Zhenguobang native was expressionless and took the lead in singing: "Roar to the mountains, let the corpses fill the gullies, walk to the sea, let the floating corpses float all over the ocean; I will die for the king, and have no regrets."
After the Master of the True Gunman sang the beginning, all the Japanese soldiers sang loudly with their throats.
The Master of the Zhenguobang drew his command knife, glanced at the ghostly Japanese army, and shouted: "I will die on the way to charge. In front of me is the Zhang Junhot melee team. We launch a final long live charge to the Zhang Junhot melee team!"
