Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

The first thousand and 590 chapters and six chapters are narrow

On the contrary, the 237th Division and the No.18 Division can barely be called elites, and they are both old opponents of the Yuanyi Group Army.

They fought successively in Mandalay and Pinmanna. Although they never took advantage of the Yuanyi Group Army, it is considered a skill to be able to escape successfully.

However, after a year, they met again on the battlefield. Who said that this is not the narrow road of Yuanjia?

Two days later, the Yuanyi Group Army completed its preliminary deployment, and the army divided into two groups and began to advance towards Clark.

The first road (right road) is composed of the new fifth division and Wang Teng's second division of the Marine Corps. The attack direction is west of Clark. Because it is close to Manila, it is related to the problem of attacking Manila with the [-]th Airborne Division of the Mi Army. Therefore, Wang Teng's troops were captured Programmed first sequence of attack.

This will not only reassure the Mi Army, but also arouse the fighting will of the Mi Army's airborne division. The "benefactor" is here in Manila. Are you embarrassed not to attack with all your strength?

The second road (left road) is Qing 211 Division and Qing 212 Division. Their attack direction is north of Clark, and the target enemy is the 237 Division of the Island Army.

The tank division directly under the division headquarters is divided into two, each with two tank regiments, each with more than [-] medium and light tanks.

In jungle warfare, roads are an important condition for the army to maneuver and attack. The higher the degree of mechanization of the army, the higher its dependence on roads. It is difficult to move away from the roads, or even unable to maneuver. Therefore, large-scale tank operations are simply impossible.

Tropical mountainous forest land, with steep and continuous mountains, many cliffs and rain-cracked gullies, it is unrealistic to build temporary roads, not to mention the large amount of engineering, and it is not convenient to use mechanical operations.

Most of the original roads were built along rivers and valleys, rugged and narrow, mostly soil and gravel roads, complex road conditions, many narrow roads, dangerous roads, steep slopes, many bends, lack of detours, and even muddy when it encounters heavy rain Difficult to travel, once landslides, mudslides or enemy blasting, the mountain will collapse and block the road, making it difficult for the convoy to turn around or turn around.

Therefore, tanks and armored vehicles cannot be used intensively in tropical mountains and jungles.

But it is impossible to completely use it. Also because of the road factor, heavy artillery support firepower cannot enter the jungle. If the enemy defends the important sections on both sides of the road where our army is advancing and attacks with firepower, hindering and delaying our army's advance, tanks will Be the single best support firepower.

Of course, the specific situation depends on the battlefield conditions. This is just an example.

Behind the two armies, Liu Dakun also placed two divisions as the second echelon and the third echelon, ready to support at any time, which is also in line with Jiang Haoran's tactical philosophy of steady and steady.

Entering an unfamiliar jungle, one doesn't know what's going on inside. Too many troops enter rashly. In the case of unfavorable traffic, it is easy to form congestion, and it is inevitable that the army will be defeated.

Therefore, take the first two divisions as the vanguard, showing the trend of arrows.The next two divisions are arrow shafts and arrow clusters. Relying on the arrow shafts and arrow clusters to push the arrows deeper and deeper, step by step, the flank protection is naturally provided.

This is Jiang Haoran's original "arrow-shaped attack" tactic. Liu Xianwei used it in the Homalin jungle, and the effect was amazing. With less than 18 troops, he swallowed an entire brigade of the island army, and that brigade belonged to the front of his eyes at that time. The No.[-] Division.

The former commander-in-chief of the army on the right is Cao Guoliang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Yuanyi Group Army and commander of the New Fifth Division, and the former commander-in-chief of the army on the left is Duan Ruyi, commander of the Qing 211 Division.

The two armies advanced in parallel, and the tanks and helicopters opened the way, rumbling forward.

The terrain of Luzon Island is high in the north and low in the south, more than two-thirds are mountains and jungles, and there are few plains. The jungle in front of you runs through the entire central part of Luzon Island. On the left side is San Jose, and after that is the island. Baguio, where the military headquarters is located.On its right is Manila, the capital of the Philippines.

Such an important area must also be a place where the island army hoards heavy troops, so the army is also cautious and cautious when advancing.

There were no surprises or dangers in the plains for tens of miles, and not even a single island soldier was found along the way.

On the right, Cao Guoliang stopped his troops only a few miles away from the jungle.

The enemy is not fortified in an area of ​​tens of miles, and there must be heavy soldiers ambushing in the jungle. Before the situation is clear, it is not appropriate for the army to enter rashly.

There happened to be a small mountain village ahead, so Cao Guoliang asked Wang Teng to go there in person.

Because of Jiang Haoran's strict order, the troops did not disturb the people along the way. Although they passed through many villages and small towns, as long as there was no obvious resistance, the soldiers of the national army basically passed by quietly without disturbing the people.

Even in the hot weather, many local women wore revealing clothes, and the soldiers did not have evil thoughts. First, "evil" is not the nature of Chinese soldiers, and they are not islanders. Second, Liu Dakun stood up for it in front of the chief executive. Those who have passed the military order, this is no joke, disobeying the military order will definitely be shot, who dares to make trouble with his own head for the sake of momentary pleasure.

Cao Guoliang and Wang Teng drove to the village in a dozen cars with a company of guards, and the car stopped outside the village.

The soldiers went in first to check, and after making sure they were all right, they surrounded the two of them.

The village is not big, with only [-] or [-] households, and the people don't seem to be very scared. Standing at the door or window looking at these heavily armed soldiers, their expressions are complicated and indifferent. They seem to be used to such scenes, but there are also some The man clenched the spear and the big knife in his hand, watching them vigilantly.

Cao Guoliang drove the interpreter forward and told these people that they were Chinese soldiers, who came to drive away the little devils for them and restore them to a stable and peaceful life. They were their liberators, not enemies.

The soldiers took this opportunity and kindly gave them some food and daily necessities.

The people slowly relaxed their vigilance, walked out of the house, and talked around the translator.

Not long after, the translator brought an old man in his 50s to Cao Guoliang, saying that he was the patriarch here, named Augustine Maris.

Although the Filipinos have an Asian face, their names have a Spanish style, which is the result of hundreds of years of Spanish colonization.

Cao Guoliang came forward to shake hands enthusiastically, expressing the friendship between China and the Philippines. The Chinese soldiers will definitely help them drive away the little devils and return them to a stable and peaceful living country. The island army told him everything.

Augustine Maris was also very hospitable and asked Cao Guoliang to talk at home.

After entering the door, there were many seasonal fruits served. Maris also took out some betel nuts and distributed them to Cao Guoliang, Wang Teng and the guards around him.

Doing as the Romans do, everyone followed suit. They put betel nuts into their mouths and ate with relish, and they didn’t forget to give their thumbs up to praise them. The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
