Chapter 209 Take the Nantianmen Lightly
These Japanese soldiers who came down from the second defense in the dark wore dirty clothes, with patches of red spots on the surface of their skin, which seemed to have symptoms of subcutaneous bleeding, and their expressions were very strange. The Japanese soldiers were very different.
Someone wanted to make a fortune, so the officer in the trench fired a shot into the sky and strictly ordered everyone not to leave the trench.
When the fog cleared above the Nujiang River, a group of soldiers wearing gas masks and wrapped in black rubber suits entered the front line along the traffic trench.
"The chemical soldiers from the chemical defense battalion? Why did they come to the front line?"
Yang Danzi's question was quickly answered. These chemical soldiers who wrapped themselves tightly were here to collect the corpses. They moved the Japanese soldiers in front of the trench to the deep pit on the right side of the position, first poured gasoline and burned them, and then buried them.
At night, another scene very similar to last night appeared.
The difference is that this time the Japanese army fired two rounds of artillery, leaving behind more than 80 corpses.
On the morning of the fourth day, the soldiers in the first defense heard scattered gunshots from the second defense of the Japanese army, and then the soldiers who rolled down, some of them were killed on the rocks, and some were scattered on the hillside. I can crawl forward little by little, but most of the time I can't move when I crawl, and the people in the main team don't even need to make up the knife.
In the early morning of the fifth day, another small group of Japanese soldiers died on the hillside.
At noon on the fifth day, there was a burst of shouts from the Japanese second defense, with signs of grenade explosions and heavy machine guns in operation. Yang Danzi and others were on guard all day, but no Japanese soldier charged the line of defense.
There were not many Yu division soldiers in the first defense, and the main regiment evacuated more than half of the combat personnel, and joined forces with the Li and Wang divisions to attack the Japanese troops outside the Zhunei unit on the west bank of the Nujiang River.
...
By the seventh day, the chemical soldiers in the first defense had already surpassed the infantry of the Yu Division's main regiment.
On the eighth day, about one company of chemical soldiers took down the second defense of the Takeuchi Regiment under the cover of U.S. aircraft and divisional artillery. I heard that the whole process was so easy that only seven or eight people died.
Yangdanzi knew what was going on up there.
A plague was spreading in Nantianmen. What killed the Japanese soldiers was not the guns, not the predicament, but the invisible and intangible pain.
Originally, dysentery and malaria were prevalent in Yunnan in June and July, and it was normal for some people to die of illness, but such a large-scale non-combat attrition basically never happened to the Japanese army.
He heard from the chemical soldiers that it was cholera, and others said it was plague, in short, it was a very severe disease.
Most of the Japanese troops huddled in the damp and dark tunnels. One can imagine what kind of disaster it would be if someone got sick.
Without the Chinese doing anything, the Japanese devils dug their own pits and buried them.
They dug tunnels and hollowed out the entire Nantianmen, thinking that they could live forever like mice, causing the expeditionary army to pay several times their own casualties, and finally a cholera killed them.
Many expeditionary soldiers clapped their hands and applauded. Although wearing a gas mask is very aggrieved, washing hands with the disinfectant prepared by the chemical soldiers before meals will leave an unpleasant smell, but compared with the tough battle of exchanging human lives, this sacrifice is nothing. ?
Yang Danzi thinks more.
He thought of Master Yu who won the first defense and stopped moving forward, and did not take down the second defense in one go; he thought of standing still for a long time; he thought of Lin Yue suddenly taking over the command of the battle; The headquarters ordered them to prepare gas masks before they were sent to death; and the chemical soldiers from the chemical defense battalion of the military headquarters came so fast, it seemed that they were waiting on the other side early in the morning.
Could it be... the Japanese didn't die of natural illness, someone played tricks on them?
...
On the ninth day, there was only one battalion left in the first defense, and the chemical defense battalion occupied the second defense.
On the tenth day, the Japanese troops in the defensive areas on both sides of Nantianmen were quickly defeated by the Allied Forces of the Three Divisions, and the west bank of the Nu River basically fell into the hands of the expeditionary forces.
On the eleventh day, members of the Army Corps of Engineers began rushing to practice Tiandu.
On the twelfth day, except for the Shubao headquarters where Takeuchi Lianshan was located, the second defense, third defense, and anti-slope positions all fell into the hands of the expeditionary force.
During this period, the flames on the Nantian Gate never stopped. People in the anti-chemical battalion kept burning and burying the bodies of Japanese soldiers. The black smoke could be seen from ten miles away.
The people in Heshun Town have been evacuated to the rear. In the trenches around the airport, Long Wenwen stepped on sandbags, looked at Nantianmen with a telescope for a while, and then glanced at the soldiers of the chemical defense platoon at the foot of the mountain. silence.
If he was Takeuchi Lianshan, he might have been suffocated to death by now.
In order to kill as many Chinese as possible, Takeuchi Lianshan designed many insidious traps, but now? Most of these gadgets were useless, his men were gone, and the entire defense collapsed from the inside.
Combining the recent events and the order of the headquarters, the members of the Yu division suspected that the newly promoted deputy army commander was responsible. For the people of the Sichuan army, they did not doubt it, they were very sure.
Lin Yue did this!
Takeuchi Lianshan is vicious, right? He is more vicious than Takeuchi Lianshan!
After Mengfan found out about the westward expansion plan, he said that he had a bad mouth. If it was more sinister, it would depend on our Colonel Lin, who would go across the entire northern Burma to stab Mutaguchi Renya's ass. He is the only one who can do this kind of thing.
Others also found it insidious.
However, compared with what happened to the Takeuchi United Team, they felt that the Japanese soldiers who retreated from the Imphal Plateau were really lucky. At least they knew how they died, and at least they could struggle to escape.
What about the Japanese army at Nantianmen?
The confusion about the future, the anxiety of being besieged, the worry of lack of food and clothing, the fear of being infected with the epidemic, the torment of pain, watching the half-dead companions being driven off the defense line by the temporarily healthy people to die in the position of the expeditionary army, in this way In such an environment, no matter how strong the will is, people will go to the point of psychological collapse.
The expeditionary force had nothing to do, just wait for the crazy or sick Japanese soldiers to send their heads to the door.
Now the tree castle and Yongbei tunnel are still in Takeuchi's hands, but the battle on Nantianmen is over.
"Let me tell you, don't recruit him in the future, don't... this guy is rotten, look at Yu Xiaoqing, and then look at the bamboo hills." Milong said while wiping the Bren light machine gun , since Master Mai and his comprehensive assistance came to Jiqipo, the people of the Sichuan Army have developed a good habit of cleaning their weapons when they have nothing to do.
Ni Dan and Man Han deeply agree.
Everyone walked along and watched Colonel Lin make Yu Xiaoqing suspicious of life. It was sinister and vicious, but compared with the methods he used on the Japanese army, it can be said to be very kind.
Bula said: "If he plays hard, Lord Yan will be afraid of three minutes."
Cui Yong squatted in the tunnel, unscrewed the lid of the kettle and took a sip of water: "I thought I could kill a few more devils when I came back, but in the end I didn't do anything. The Japanese on the Nantianmen are almost dead."
At this time, Long Wenwen jumped into the trench from the outside: "You said... how did he do it?"
Dong Dao shook his head: "I don't know, in short, he has many ways, and he is worse than you."
Long Wenwen said: "Am I a ghost? Am I a ghost? Do I have other ghosts?"
Dong Dao nodded honestly: "You are not as bad as him, but you are worse than us."
"Sangmenxing, if you talk like this again, you will be deducted from your military salary for one month."
"Well, if you don't want to listen, I won't talk about it."
"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out..." Long Wenwen turned his head and glanced at Nantianmen, and when he turned back, he happened to meet Bu Lai's gaze: "Brother Bu Lai..."
"Big bastard!" The Hunan guy put on his helmet and ran away.
When Long Wenwen chased to the corner of the traffic trench, Krupp, who was sitting on the ground holding the canned food of the Japanese army, looked at him and said, "Commander, the Japanese canned food is getting worse and worse."
"Eat and eat, you know how to eat." Long Wenwen patted the helmet on his head: "After so many years of fighting, the Japanese are now so poor that their underwear is about to fall off. It's good to have canned food. Who is still there?" Italian taste? I bet that the Japanese soldiers on the mountain didn’t even have to drink porridge, not to mention canned food.”
"Yes?" Krupp burped, "Then I'll eat two more cans."
Coincidentally, Master Mai came over with the assistance of the whole people.
"I just contacted the frontline command post, and the staff officer said that Lin Yue went to the frontline for inspection." Master Mai paused and said, "It's been more than ten days since he and Captain Meng have passed, and I'm really worried about them."
Long Wenwen frowned after hearing what he said: "You mean that some people will be against them? No way... Yu Xiaoqing is quite an upright person."
"Did you forget what happened in the division?" Master Mai said, "There is a saying in your country that Muxiu must be destroyed by Lin Feng. I'm worried that Deputy Master Tang will be unfavorable to Lin Yue."
Indeed, if Lin Yue stayed at the headquarters, with people from Li Wang's second division around, the Yu family would not dare to act rashly, but once they went outside...
"Tang Ji? That old fox wouldn't be so reckless. Last time, Lin Yue was safe and sound. The military seat let them off for the sake of Yu Xiaoqing's father. Now that Colonel Lin has been promoted to deputy commander, he wants to repeat the role of Master Yu." Even if the guards rioted, the entire Yu family might lose power." Long Wenwen thought for a while, and said with a cautious attitude: "The matter over Bison Ridge should be over, I will send someone to find Lin Yi , and told him to lead the first battalion to Henglan Mountain."
Master Mai nodded: "The sooner the better."
Long Wenwen put on the steel helmet: "Old Mai, you are becoming more and more like a person now."
"who?"
"Cripple Meng."
