Chapter 541
"salute!"
Seeing the commander come back, two guards standing guard at the door of the main control room shouted loudly. Liao Mingyu ignored him and pushed the door straight into, then locked the door and walked to the map with a solemn expression.
The Battle of Chiang Mai has ended, and the system immediately reported the situation to Liao Mingyu. Although there was no clear report on the battle, it is certain that the Japanese army has lost control of the northwestern Siam, and the march road to the south is basically unblocked.
The purpose of this strategy is to annihilate the Japanese army's vital forces in Chiang Mai as much as possible. According to the planned encirclement and combat plan, at least the Japanese in the mountains in Nuanshan will definitely be unable to escape. It is estimated that in a short time, the Gaoji people and the others will send the detailed combat report back.
"The Fourth Division is still on the map. It is indeed difficult for these cunning Osaka people to catch. However, with two brigades as scapegoats, this battle was not in vain."
Liao Mingyu muttered to himself a few words. A few days ago, Gao Jiren reported that the 200th Division, the 50th Division and the Mairier Commando united together, and the encirclement was successfully sealed. It is estimated that all the Japanese in the encirclement had been wiped out in the past two days, and this resulted in the systematic report.
In fact, the paratrooper tactics of the Mairel Commando were very successful. They cut off the Japanese retreat and bought valuable time for the two masters to siege each other. However, their casualties were also quite heavy, with a combat loss rate of 50%. There were more than 1,300 paratroopers killed in the battle alone, and the rest were injured.
The Japanese in despair were very crazy and almost desperate to break through the blocking defense line laid by the Mairel Commando, which was also the main reason for the latter's heavy casualties.
Fortunately, the 200th and 50th divisions, who were rushing behind, moved faster. Facing the Japanese army blocking the enemy behind his Nuanshan Position Hall, they also did not remember casualties. In addition, the support of US air fighter jets, they finally completed the encirclement before the paratroopers' positions fell.
The battlefield situation suddenly changed. After the Japanese army was trapped in a heavy siege, the morale plummeted. Jiro Kimura didn't care about continuing to break through, so he could only let the troops gather in the central region to avoid the edge.
However, the connection between the Japanese troops was not close enough. Contact equipment such as radio stations were only distributed to the brigade level. Moreover, the enemy had no intention of stopping and resting after the encirclement, so they directly launched an attack on them.
Most of the Japanese army could only fight and retreat, and many teams were dispersed and fought on their own. Even if there was a radio station, it was difficult to contact the superiors. In the chaos, they were quickly divided and surrounded and fell into the ruthless guns.
Jiro Kimura led some remnants to find a place with a higher terrain to prepare for on-site defense, and many scattered troops gathered here one after another. Then the old Japanese ordered the Fourth Division and the Siam Front to reinforce and rescue the siege at all costs.
The order was issued, but He didn't even think about coming. The Siam army directly refused to send troops to support him because it was bombed by the US Air Force.
The Fourth Division was even more outrageous. Masaro Masato asked a brigade under his command to tentatively move north for a distance. After encountering the enemy, he just pretended to fire a few shots and ran away.
Looking back, he did not forget to report to his superiors, saying how they fought a great battle with the enemy and how tragic the scene was.
Even a company of the 50th Division responsible for attacking aid was stunned. Damn, this Japanese team was like coming to go shopping. Before they could react, they ran away without a trace, which was really confusing.
Jiro Kimura was also eager to defeat the enemy and come, so that those who were trapped could even blossom in the middle, forming a larger strategic encirclement to turn defeat into victory.
But little did they know that the friendly forces with different ulterior motives had never thought about sincere rescue, and even if they had the intention, the other party would not give this opportunity.
The encirclement on the battlefield has been formed, and the 200th Division and the 50th Division have reorganized and began to close the net. The Japanese who became the turtle in the jar have felt the beginning of the nightmare in the next two days.
The explosion became the main theme on the battlefield. If the bombing in the air was included, they would pour more than 100 tons of shells into the direction where the Japanese army was located within two days, and directly flattened the mountain.
Countless Japanese devils would be exhausted in the boundless artillery fire. Even Jiro Kimura, the old Japanese devil, could not escape this disaster and was directly evaporated by a shell.
With the full suppression of firepower, the attacks of the 200th and 50th divisions were launched immediately. The Japanese gathered together and saved a lot of trouble. They almost didn't spend much effort in the face of these remaining defeated generals fighting against the beasts. On the third day, most of the Japanese were wiped out.
It’s just a pity that the Fourth Division took the lead in lifting the bucket and escaping the disaster, otherwise the results of this battle would definitely be greater.
...
"Ding...get a chance to draw light weapons and a heavy weapon, is it used now?" the system's voice asked in his mind.
"It's worth the two-dollar prize after winning such a big victory? It's so damn stingy..."
Liao Mingyu complained in a moment that he had points rewards and a series of weapons unlocked in the past, but now he has pitiful two weapon draws, and the gap is too big.
The system was too lazy to talk to him, and asked again without hesitation: "...will the host want it or not? If the host doesn't want it, the reward can be cancelled this time."
Liao Mingyu looked speechless, "Don't be vain." In the idea that mosquitoes are still meat, he immediately asked to start the lottery.
"Ding...light weapons are being drawn, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Soviet-made PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle. The gun has a combat weight of 17.25 kg, a gun length of 2 meters, a bullet caliber of 14.5×114 mm, a single shot manually loaded, and a redemption price of 60 points..."
Liao Mingyu was disappointed when he heard this. This thing called clavicle crusher is a nightmare for most infantry operations. You can't control it without a strong body.
Moreover, Southeast Asia does not encounter large-scale tank clusters like on the European battlefield. The existing anti-tank weapons are completely sufficient, and anti-tank rifles are purely useless.
"Continue, next..."
"Ding... Heavy weapons are being drawn... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the BM-13 H rocket launcher, launching 132mm M-13 rocket, the bottom uses the US general GMC 6X6 truck chassis, and the total combat weight is 5.85 tons..."
"What's the matter? Katyusha rocket launcher!
?” Liao Mingyu was so excited that he shouted out. It was so surprising that he actually got out this big killer weapon.
Chapter completed!
