blood feud

The first battalion of Liu Zhiliang's tank regiment killed two generals in the first round of shooting. The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and the more than 100 little devils rushing over from behind suddenly panicked.

This is no wonder, because these people are not combat troops, but the staff of the headquarters.Just escaping from the ruins, he was already panicked and couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north, but just ran along the street.

Now that he has been hit head-on, it is naturally even more chaotic.At the same time, a squadron of little devils suddenly rushed out from behind, and as a result, the street became even more chaotic.

As one of the earliest "Eight Horses" who followed Bai Shujie, Liu Zhiliang suddenly felt a little strange.Because at this time he had received a report from the helicopter pilot that the main target of the first round of bombing was the No.14 Army Headquarters building!

It wasn't until this time that Liu Zhiliang realized that his blind cat had encountered a dead mouse, and he had captured two upper-level headquarters at the same time.

Having dealt with the little devils for more than ten years, Liu Zhiliang understood very well: the garrison of the little devils headquarters is the toughest, and they are not afraid of death.But why the mess today?

This is a long story to say.

Masaharu Honma, commander of the No.14 Army, is not only not a qualified senior commander, but also has always been as timid as a mouse, and his personal behavior is even more messy.

Masaharu Honma is 1.8 meters tall, which already belongs to the "indomitable" existence on Monkey Island.Known as "stand out from the crowd, personable".

Not only did he hug and sleep with a lot of prostitutes, but he also had ambiguities with many actors, so he was met with blank stares wherever he went.

According to the real historical trend, if Masaharu Honma hadn't been cowardly, MacArthur would have been impossible to escape from Manila back then, but he would have been captured at the first meeting!

Masaharu Honma was born in Niigata Prefecture on November 1887, 11. He is a lieutenant general in the army.British expert, poet general.He defeated MacArthur badly in the Philippines, and was shot dead by MacArthur in deliberate revenge.

In 1918, he studied at Oxford University in England and served as a military attache on the Western Front. Since then, he has formed an indissoluble bond with Britain. He loves watching Western movies, and painted and wrote poems during the war.

1938年7月15日中国屯驻旅团改编为第27师团，本间雅晴接替山下奉文出任第27师团第一任中将师团长。

On March 1940, 2, he became the commander of the Taiwan Army and wrote the famous song of the Taiwan Dispatch Army.When the Pacific War broke out, because of his experience as a staff officer and a field force commander, he was appointed as the commander of the 14th Army by default, and he was assigned to the southern army of Earl Toshiichi Terauchi, responsible for attacking the Philippines.

Because he did not want to provoke Western countries without resolving the incident in China, he made a series of carping demands on the staff work, which angered Chief of Staff Moto Sugiyama.If it weren't for the imminent war, I would immediately dismiss a coward like him.

At the beginning of the war, he led 2 divisions and 1 brigade to attack the Philippines under the cover of the navy.As soon as the battle began, the 11th Air Force of the Navy Tsukahara 600 wiped out [-] US aircraft in the Philippines.

After he landed safely, the vanguard broke through the frontal defense line in one charge.It is also what MacArthur bragged to the U.S. Congress: "Even if the enemy uses 100 million troops, it is impossible to capture the Cavite Fortress in 100 years."

However, at this juncture, Masaharu Homma wanted to see what the legendary Pearl of the South China Sea, that is, what Manila was like, so he gave up chasing MacArthur's defeated army and instead ordered the main force to seize the empty city of Manila!

Because MacArthur has announced to the world: "Manila is an undefended city."

At the critical juncture of the decisive battle, Masaharu Honma turned the cart before the horse and occupied the empty city, becoming the biggest joke and MacArthur's biggest "benefactor".

The superior air power wasted a lot of opportunities, allowing MacArthur to safely retreat 10 troops (including 1.7 U.S. troops) to the Bataan Peninsula for defense.

After the occupation of Manila, Masharu Honma still did not organize an offensive because the 48th Division was transferred to Imamura Jun's 16th Army to attack the Dutch East Indies.

He believed that with the remaining 3 troops, it was impossible to conquer the Bataan Peninsula, which was defended by 12 people, so he began to work hard, causing the battle to drag on day by day.

During this period, Masaharu Honma desperately sent telegrams to the General Staff Headquarters, complaining about inaccurate intelligence, chaotic logistics, and increased illness among soldiers.He is short of manpower and his troops should be reinforced rather than removed.

The little devil's base camp ignored him, and as a result, Masaharu Honma resolutely stopped the attack, allowing MacArthur to escape in a submarine.

For this reason, the kid's new Prime Minister and Minister of War, the notorious Hideki Tojo, complained: "The Imperial Army is winning battles everywhere, except in the Philippines."

Of course, Hideki Tojo, a war madman, absolutely cannot tolerate Masaharu Homma's cowardly behavior, so he issued a stern order: "The 14th Army must be independently responsible for the attack on the Bataan Peninsula, and must achieve its combat goals as soon as possible, otherwise You will go to His Majesty the Emperor to pre-employ in person!"

It was under such circumstances that Masahiro Honma was forced to relaunch the offensive. As a result, reinforcements were not needed at all. The vanguard of a regiment broke through the US defense in less than a week and captured more than 7.5 prisoners.

It's a pity that MacArthur escaped five days in advance, which made Hideki Tojo and the entire staff headquarters vomit blood with anger!

What's even more regrettable is that Masaharu Honma let MacArthur live, and the result just confirmed that "The Story of the Farmer and the Snake" is definitely a universally applicable axiom!

Two years later, MacArthur counterattacked Luzon Island, and Masaharu Honma became a prisoner of war.Regardless of the objection of the presiding judge of the military court, MacArthur shot "the first enemy who defeated himself"! (The second person to defeat MacArthur was General Peng. Unfortunately, MacArthur had no way of revenge.)

Bai Shujie knew very well about Yaqing Honma's character, so he decided to take advantage of the fire to rob, or call the fire to get chestnuts.But Liu Zhiliang, the on-site commander, didn't know why the enemy in front of him would mess up by himself.

However, if the enemy messed up, it would of course be more beneficial to him.The commander of the dignified field division, Liu Zhiliang, stood up first and charged the chaotic hundreds of enemies.

In fact, he can't be blamed, the key is that everyone has no spare magazines.Since it is called a self-defense assault rifle, it is actually the last thing those technical soldiers use to desperately.So once it becomes a stalemate, it will definitely turn victory into defeat immediately.

The 2 helicopters dropped the bombs and returned to remount, but the second batch of 2 helicopters had not arrived yet.At this gap, Liu Zhiliang, who had fought hard on the battlefield, naturally couldn't allow the situation of turning victory into defeat, and launching a charge became an inevitable choice, because the enemy didn't know that he had no spare bullets.

Determination on the battlefield can determine victory or defeat. Liu Zhiliang and the others rushed forward, but the enemy on the opposite side did not know how deep they were, so they could only retreat desperately.

The No.14 Army Headquarters building has been completely turned into ruins, and it is impossible to retreat, so the little devil chose to retreat in the direction of the 65th Brigade Headquarters in the northeast.

Without the bombs falling from the sky, the little devil was finally driven into the 65th Brigade headquarters building that had been blown into half ruins.

Just at this moment, violent gunshots came from the northeast, and then hundreds of little devils were driven over.It turned out that Tao Chengzhou, the head of the tank regiment, led the second battalion and blocked the little devil's retreat from the east.

Now that the two groups of little devils have gathered together, there are already nearly 700 people, and they suddenly turned into big hedgehogs.For tank soldiers who have no heavy weapons and only have 47 rounds of ammunition each, this is troublesome all at once.

To make matters worse, Liu Zhiliang found another lieutenant general and a major general among these enemies, and the major general yelled, and the little devil quickly formed a three-layer defensive front, and the enemy and us formed a stalemate.

Liu Zhiliang did not hesitate: "Hurry up and call for helicopter reinforcements! Tao Chengzhou, I am watching this place, you hurry to find available vehicles, rush there to seize the airport, and then call a transport plane to bring the tank over! As long as a tank comes over, these two generals will be Lao Tzu Chinese food!"

The second wave of 2 helicopters did not disappoint Liu Zhiliang. They arrived on the battlefield in less than 2 minutes. The phalanx of 4 doors and 6 tubes exploded violently. Inside the pavilion.

After more than ten minutes of melee, the soldiers finally found 3 mortars and 12 rounds of grenades from the ruins, finally having a certain amount of heavy firepower.

Liu Zhiliang was not impulsive. It is not easy to train tankers. They are not casually used as infantry. So he asked the soldiers to stay more than 300 meters away, and then shouted: "I will shoot out all 12 grenades, and the little one will be killed." The devils are pressed inside, waiting for the third wave of helicopters to come to resolve the battle."

The two helicopters that completed the first round of strikes returned to the aircraft carrier, and when they returned to the battlefield, they were no longer high-explosive armor-piercing bombs, but napalm bombs.

"The people below disperse!" The helicopter pilot called out, and then dropped 4 black cylinders towards the enemy's position.

When Liu Zhiliang saw the napalm bomb being thrown down, he definitely couldn't stay in this place. The soldiers all understood what it meant, and ran away without a trace.

As the orange flames rose, Liu Zhiliang finally had free time to look at the surrounding situation. At the same time, he ordered a company to act as a guard, and the other three companies quickly searched the surroundings.

"Each platoon has an interpreter. You are the ones who will play a role at this time. Try to find the local people to understand the situation and see what is going on here. Also, hurry up and implement it. The two generals who were killed just now Who is it?"

Half an hour later, the napalm bomb had been completely burned, and the original small pavilion no longer existed. The more than 400 enemies who participated were now blown by the North Sea wind and scattered in all directions—all of them were burned to ashes.

"Report to the division commander: The military IDs of the two generals we killed earlier have been found. They are Lieutenant General Uemura Gannan and Second Major General Zhiying. We also killed 3 majors and 1 major."

Liu Zhiliang had a bad feeling when he heard it: "No, according to the boss's report on the enemy situation, the second major general He Zhiying is the chief of staff of the No. 14 army. I don't know what this Shangcun male lieutenant general is doing. And , Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, commander of the No.14 Army, and Major General Akio Yoshida, commander of the 65th Brigade, were not killed?"

Thinking of this, Liu Zhiliang suddenly became nervous. If the two generals were let go, there would be no way to explain it in the future: "Come here, carefully look for the two generals who appeared later. Even if they were burned to death, their shoulder cards must still be there." !"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
