Seeing Feng Wen at the foot of the mountain feeling furious and a little panicked, the Chief of Staff of the 15th Army was a little dazed.

In his impression, Yamashita Fengwen was a talented general full of wisdom, calm and decisive. Since the outbreak of the war, he has commanded countless battles, and each time he has achieved a major and even a brilliant victory.

His ability to win the title of Malay Tiger is enough to prove his talent. He was so arrogant that it was simply unimaginable that he was panicked in him.

However, since Yamashita Tomoto came to South Asia, the Chief of Staff felt that he had changed a little, and he seemed at a loss when facing Gao Jiu.

At this moment, after Yamashita Fengmo issued a series of orders in a panic, he sat down on the sofa, looking very tired, as if he had suddenly become a few years older, which made the Chief of Staff feel a little distressed.

He said with concern: "Master Commander, why don't you take a break? I'll deal with anything."

Yamashita Tomoto shook his head and asked in confusion: "What's going on? The great Japanese Huang Army has actually dropped so much when it comes here."

The Chief of Staff knew what he was referring to. Most of the division commanders of the 15th Army were not in the same mood as Feng Wen Yamashita. In addition to the 18th Division brought from the Malay Peninsula, the newly formed 144th Division and 145th Division were also obeyed the command. The other Japanese troops were all slandered and could not command at all.

In this case, no matter how high the command ability of Fengwen of the Yamashita is, what role can he play?

He said: "The situation in South Asia is bad, and it has a lot to do with these corrupt senior generals.

Under such circumstances, there is no chance of winning at all when the hasty battle against the Golden Triangle was launched.

I suggest that after rescuing the 144th Division, temporarily stop the attack on the Golden Triangle. Reorganize the troops of the 15th Army, first eliminate internal hidden dangers, and then launch an attack on the Golden Triangle."

Yamashita Fengmoto nodded silently and said, "Your opinion is correct, but the 144th Division may be in trouble, and the loss is too heavy."

At the foot of Mount Maragon, the coalition forces surrounded the 144th Japanese Division.

They did not launch an attack, but used a large number of infantry fighting vehicles as bunkers to guard against the Japanese army's breakthrough, and then used various artillery to bombard the Japanese positions.

The Japanese army also used artillery to counterattack, and the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle.

However, the density of artillery fire of the coalition forces exceeded that of the Japanese army. The Japanese artillery was constantly destroyed, and the strength of the counterattack became weaker and weaker.

Not only that, the Japanese army carried limited artillery shells and could not withstand the consumption of long-term artillery battles, so they gradually became powerless to fight back.

In order to annihilate this Japanese army as soon as possible and minimize casualties in coalition forces, Gao Jiu not only sent a telegram to the Air Force, asking them to airdrop a large number of shells, but also ordered the bomber troops to take off and launch bombing the Japanese 144th Division.

Back then, when Gao Jiu was in Kaifeng, he created a super bomb weighing 550kg, which was very effective after using it against Japanese infantry.

The super bomb production process at that time was extremely simple. Now, standard aviation bombs have been developed in the arsenal in the Golden Triangle, and the standard weight of each bomb reaches 623kg.

After these bombs were created, they have not been used on the battlefield.

Gao Jiu decided to test the 144th Division of the Japanese Army first.

24 B24 Liberator heavy bombers were taken off from Mawan Airport, each of which could carry six such bombs, and they soon flew over the battlefield.

The commanders of the bomber brigade knew the power of these heavy bombs. They used wireless telegrams to inform the ground, reminding the coalition forces to protect their ears and stay away from complex terrain, and prevent accidentally being injured by the huge sounds of giant bombs and vibrations caused to the ground.

When ordinary officers and soldiers of the 144th Division of the Japanese Army heard the roar of the plane, they thought it was the Japanese Air Force coming to reinforce, and they couldn't help but cheer.

The division commander and the senior officers knew that the Japanese air force could not come to reinforce, and this must be an enemy plane, so they quickly notified the troops to make preparations for air defense.

However, it was too late for everything. Not to mention that the air defense orders were too late for the soldiers to hear, even if they knew in advance, there was nowhere to hide.

b24 The Liberator heavy bomber flew over the Japanese position, opened the bullet cabin under the belly, and dropped giant bombs one by one.

"Boom, boom."

The giant bomb landed on the ground and exploded violently, making a huge noise.

Even though the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces covered their ears, their eardrums were still stinging, and the earth shook, as if they were earthquakes.

The power of the giant aviation bomb weighing 623kg is too great. After a bomb explodes, a large pit of one meter can be blown up on the ground. The explosion shock waves affect more than two basketball courts. All vehicles and buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters were destroyed, and the personnel were even unable to escape. Even if they were drilled into the cat's ear, they would be shaken to death.

24 b24 Liberator bombers flew over and dropped a total of 144 giant aviation bombs.

After the bomb exploded, a blank area of ​​several square kilometers was formed in the middle of the Japanese defensive positions, and none of the Japanese troops in this area were spared.

Liao Tong was stunned and excited. He said with emotion: "The power of this giant bomb is too great. In this round of bombing, at least one Japanese corps was killed. If you do this a few more times, the Japanese division will be finished."

Liu Zhanying also said excitedly: "Yes, Master Jiu, send a plane to blow him a few more times, and the battle will be over."

They were all very happy, but Gao Jiu felt a pain.

He gritted his teeth and said, "A giant bomb is worth 2,500 oceans, and 144 giant bombs directly destroyed 360,000 oceans."

"Ah, it's so expensive, so save a little." Liu Zhanying stretched out his tongue and said in surprise.

Liao Tong was also surprised and said, "After the bombing just now, the large Japanese army's troops have been blown up. It would be a waste to use such bombs. Let's use guns to bomb."

Gao Jiu was feeling distressed, and when he heard Liao Tong's suggestion, he was right and said, "You make sense. The Japanese defense has basically collapsed, and our artillery is enough to solve them."

Gao Jiu was right. During the bombing just now, a giant aviation bomb was dropped near the command center of the 144th Division of the Japanese army. The division commander and the division headquarters were all killed, and the Japanese army lost command. The command bodies of the brigade and corps were also incomplete. Apart from a few units, it was no longer possible to organize large-scale defenses.

The explosion of the giant bomb also caused a huge psychological shadow on the Japanese officers and soldiers.

Under the fierce artillery fire of the coalition forces, the Japanese officers and soldiers looked for cover as much as possible, hoping to survive the artillery fire, and basically lost the will to fight.

The shelling took another hour, and Gao Jiu felt that it was almost done, so he issued an order to attack.

The coalition forces rushed towards the Japanese defensive positions with more than 500 infantry fighting vehicles as the guide.

The Japanese artillery had basically been destroyed, and the defensive positions were incomplete under the bombardment of artillery fire. Only a small number of Japanese troops launched a counterattack in vain.

The coalition forces captured the Japanese frontier positions without any obstacles and continued to develop in depth.

The coalition forces quickly collapsed the enemy's resistance. Two hours later, most of the Japanese army was annihilated, and only one brigade commander of the Japanese army led some remaining Japanese troops to defend on a hill and continued to resist stubbornly.

The coalition forces surrounded the Japanese army and bombarded again. The vegetation on the top of the hill was completely blown away, revealing the white rocks below.

Seeing that the Japanese army showed no signs of resistance, a team of Yuanzheng soldiers climbed to the top of the mountain to search for the remaining Japanese army.

Liao Tong held up his telescope and stared at the soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army. Seeing them climbing to the top of the mountain, an explosion suddenly occurred and gunfire came. The soldiers fell one after another.

Liao Tong felt a little puzzled. The mountain had obviously been flattened, so why did the Japanese army survive? He immediately ordered someone to go up and check it out.

A combat staff member who soon went up reported to him on a telephone, saying that a cave was found on the mountain, and there were still remnants of Japanese troops.

Liao Tong suddenly remembered something, and the command troops temporarily stopped attacking, and then he climbed up the mountain himself.

Gao Jiu and others didn't understand what he was going to do, so they followed him.

Everyone saw that there was a cave just ten meters away from the top of the mountain. The cave was more than one person high and more than one meter wide. From time to time, people shot outside.

Liao Tong said, "Go and take the flamethrower over."

Only then did everyone understand that Liao Tong was going to test the power of the flamethrower.

A fire spitting soldier came to the next to the cave. Several soldiers from the Yuan Zheng army first threw a few grenades into the cave, then fired into it, covering the fire spitting hand to stand in front of the entrance of the cave, pulling the trigger into the cave, and a fire snake rushed into the cave.

A shrill scream came from the cave, and soon after, there was no movement.

The officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng army shot guns and threw grenades into the cave, and no one fought back in it.

A squad leader of the Yuan Zheng army led two soldiers into the cave. Soon after, they came out. The squad leader had a frightened expression on his face, obviously frightened.

He said, "There are all the Japanese inside the report pedestal, and they can't see it." After that, he vomited.

The two soldiers behind him looked similar to him and were vomiting constantly.

Yamashita Tomoto received a farewell telegram from the Japanese brigade commander before his death. Although he had already felt that the 144th Division had a good fortune, he did not expect that it took only five hours from the report of being surrounded by the enemy and being destroyed by the entire army. The enemy's combat effectiveness was still far beyond his expectations.

In order to avoid the same consequences of the 65th Division and the 66th Division, he immediately issued an order to retreat to them.

After giving the order, Yamashita Fengwen felt dizzy, and his body shook for a few times, and slowly fell down.

Yamashita Fengmoto was a very proud person. He did not expect that after he arrived in South Asia, he first lost a brigade and then a division. Such a blow was unbearable.

He became ill and had a high fever.

The Chief of Staff was very depressed and asked someone to carry Feng Wen from the foot of the mountain to retreat directly to Hanoi.

The demise of the 144th Division of the Japanese army caused a huge shock among the Japanese army in South Asia.

The commander of the 16th Japanese Army, the commander of the 16th Army, said to the Chief of Staff with some gloating pleasure: "It is really hateful that Fengwen of the Yamashita did not listen to my advice and caused such great losses to the Huang army."

The Chief of Staff said: "Mr. Commander, I also hate the guy Fengwen of Shanxia who is above the top. You kindly advised him that he was not grateful and was smart enough to suffer such a heavy failure. It is really his own fault.

I heard that a new front army is going to be established here in South Asia. The base camp intends to let Yamashita Fengwen serve as the commander of the front army. With his ability, he is far inferior to you. I don’t know how the base camp looks at people. You should be the one who is the commander.

This time, Fengwen of Yamashita caused such a crushing defeat in Huang Jun. I want to see how the base camp will view him?"

The commanders of the 65th, 66th and 67th Divisions of the Japanese army were very glad that they communicated with Gao Jiu in advance, otherwise they would have ended up like the 144th Division.

After the 35th Brigade of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was completely wiped out, the commander of the 18th Division was still a little dissatisfied, believing that the 35th Brigade was surrounded by heavy troops of the enemy and was unfamiliar with the terrain and enemy situation, which led to failure. He also had the idea of ​​competing with Gao Jiu.

The Japanese 144th Division was destroyed in just five hours, and he completely dispelled the luxury of defeating Gao Jiu.

The biggest hit was the 145th Division of the Japanese Army. They and the 144th Division were both newly formed and opened from Japan to South Asia. The two divisions can be said to be in the same sympathy.

The experience of the 144th Division gave them great shock. Most of the officers and soldiers in the division did not undergo practical training.

Seeing that domestic newspapers and magazines kept boasting about how brave Huang Jun was, they were full of confidence and wanted to come to South Asia to make achievements. The cruel reality shattered their fantasies, and the morale of the entire army was very low.

The successive failures aroused the dissatisfaction of the Japanese base camp and severely rebuked Fengwen of Yamashita.

Yamashita Fengfu's friend in the Japanese base camp revealed a piece of information to Yamashita Fengfu, saying that it had been decided by someone to be the commander of the upcoming South Asian Front.

He asked Yamashita Fengwen to find a way to shirk responsibility for failure, otherwise the candidate for the commander might be left behind.
