Chapter 875

Even in the 21st century, the jungles in Southeast Asia, especially in Myanmar, are still very backward and keep the original form of jungles. In early April of 1939, it was almost the same as hundreds of thousands of years ago. It was still a big forest with few people.

However, these days in the jungle, it seems different from the past, lively. Yesterday, there was a downpour here. The wet ground was covered with rotten leaves and rotten roots. In a word, the monkey may have to sprain his feet, let alone human beings.

A yellow man with a withered complexion and a bony body pushed aside the broad leaves in front of him to block his vision and looked at the lush woods on the ridge there with a pair of listless eyes. There are no other things here, only boundless trees. Anyone will be tortured by the same scenery in front of his eyes, and finally collapse in a deserted corner and die in pain and loneliness.

In terms of dress, this is a Japanese soldier. He wore a Japanese helmet on his head, and the red five pointed star on it looked worn out. The helmet is lined with two ear curtains of Japanese style. These two things are similar to fart curtains. They are the "drape cloth" on the Japanese army's military cap, which is also a small Japanese feature.

There are many different opinions about what this drape is for. The more reliable ones are to prevent shrapnel from hurting the neck and to drive away mosquitoes with it... As for the emperor's blessing, this is totally nonsense. Although the Japanese believe in ghosts and gods and believe they are invulnerable, it should be too outrageous to stick couplets beside their ears to ward off evil spirits.

Let's not say what these two pieces of cloth with Japanese characteristics are used for, but the Japanese soldier has no distinctive Japanese characteristics except the helmet on his head.

He was almost armed from head to toe, carrying a Japanese 38 rifle with a bayonet in it. The belt around his waist was so loose that there was nothing on it except a few ammunition bags.

With his hand, he pushed away the branches and leaves blocking the road. The Japanese soldier mechanically stepped forward and continued to walk with three shakes. Behind him, followed by one after another looks sick full of Japanese soldiers, they quietly in no road on the road, not even the power to speak.

The 15th army of the Japanese army launched the battle of inpar after a hasty preparation. Mou Tiankou, commander of the 15th army, boasted that he wanted to defeat the British forces in India and control the Indian Ocean as quickly as possible.

Before the beginning of this campaign, mu Tiankou, as the commander of the 15th Japanese army headquarters, gathered all the officers and men of the headquarters every morning to publicize his long speech. What he said most in the process of nagging was: "if the operation of inpar is not successful and I can not be promoted to a general of the army, I will never return to Japan."

Of course, in addition to this unparalleled determination, the general can no longer bring anything decent to his subordinates. If Frick, the commander of the third armored division of the SS, who was an officer of the logistics department, is a famous "material reserve division commander", then general Mou Tiankou can be said to be a real logistics supply killer, who specializes in his own logistics supply.

Based on his experience of burning, killing and looting all the way in China, he felt that his troops could collect grain on the spot all the way, and there was no need to worry about logistics. So before the rainy season came in March, he urged his troops to set out, had a dream of conquering India, and set foot on the tour route to yingpal, which scared the British to death.

The British were really unable to fight the Japanese in the Burmese jungle. They were not strong enough to fight. Without thinking about it, montbarton left the Chinese army fighting hard alone to the British and fled all the way back to the British base camp.

The Chinese troops, unable to stand alone, also chose to retreat strategically, leaving part of the area leading to inpar. So the Japanese army, which won a phased victory, sang a triumphant song all the way to yingpal, who seemed destined to belong to them.

The script outlined by mu Tiankou originally looks like this: the Japanese army passes through the "familiar" tropical rain forest of Myanmar at a fast speed, then suddenly appears in front of the poorly prepared British army and raids yingpal successfully. The supply materials everywhere can make the 15th army live, and it is not difficult to win India.

However, on the 15th day after the outbreak of the battle, when the Japanese army walked two-thirds of the way in the whole tropical rain forest of Myanmar, the supplies of the Japanese army ran out. Because of a heavy rain, many animals were lost in the dense forest path, and the rest were consumed by 100000 mouths.

So everyone began to despair. Where the troops passed, they didn't even let go the bark and weeds. Many people were malnourished, infected with malaria, dysentery and cholera. The combat effectiveness of the army has plummeted, and typhoid fever, the most taboo disease in the army, has begun to spread to the whole Japanese army.

As soon as the front-line troops saw that if this situation continued, they would all be buried in the tropical rain forest of Myanmar before they reached yingpal, so they had to send a telegram to the 15th army headquarters asking for support.

The telegram for help from the 33rd division was tearful and sad: "our army has run out of food. I hope you can allocate materials in time, or the whole army will be destroyed." As a result, after receiving a telegram from the front-line Japanese troops asking for supplementary food, lieutenant general Mou Tiankou did not believe what his subordinates said, so he replied as follows: "the Japanese have been herbivorous since ancient times. You're surrounded by such a dense jungle, and you report a lack of food? What's the matter! " As the Japanese army approached yingpal, the Indian army and part of the British defense line strengthened by the US Army were displayed in front of the Japanese army. The battle then broke out. After a day of fighting, the Japanese army had to give up the idea of deciding the outcome of the first World War because of lack of ammunition. The commander of Sato division of the 31st division asked for ammunition and food, but the 15th army refused. The desperate Sato and the remnant of the 31st division retreated backward in violation of the military order, which opened the prelude to the complete collapse of the whole Japanese army. In view of the fact that the army often used the lack of materials as an excuse to send telegrams to embarrass him, even Sato's 31 division kept ordering him to retreat without permission. Mou Tiankou called all the staff of the headquarters for a lecture. Standing in front of everyone, he nagged to his subordinates in a voice that he thought was very sonorous: "you guys, commander Sato disobeyed the military order and abandoned the Kohima front without authorization. Because there was no food to fight, they withdrew without permission. Can such people still be called "imperial army"‘ Even if there is no food, the imperial army must continue to fight. " Seeing that his subordinates were listless due to lack of nutrition, half of Mou Tiankou was even more angry, so he waved his arm to cheer these people up: "can't we fight without weapons, ammunition and food? This must not be a legitimate reason... If there are no bullets, there are bayonets? If there is no bayonet, there are fists. If you don't have fists, you can kick with your feet. Even if these are gone, you can still bite with your teeth... Don't forget that Japanese men should have Daiwa soul! Japan is a divine land, and the gods will surely protect us... "As a result, Mou Tiankou's lecture was too long. Almost an hour later, some malnourished officers fell down one after another due to cerebral anemia. As a result, the whole lecture will not be finished, and the attack on inpal can only be carried on. Hungry, no ammunition... The Japanese finally experienced how the Chinese Army faced the powerful enemy in the battle of inpar, Myanmar, one year after the war. The Englishman on the other side was eating curry steak and shooting Japanese soldiers from machine gun blockhouse. Every time the Japanese army went further, some people would fall down because of hunger. With the battle going on, it is not known whether it will win inpar. However, even if the 15th Japanese army has captured inpar, it may not be able to launch a new offensive. What's more, there are tens of thousands of Chinese Expeditionary Army soldiers hovering near the rear supply line that has been completely submerged by floods and mudslides in Japan. Although they don't know why they have given up their defense line, they can't completely reassure the Japanese army that their rear can't say when the Chinese expeditionary army will go south to cut off those sheep's intestines, Let the 15th army be doomed. Finally, the Japanese army held on until yesterday, and finally waited for a telegram from the base camp: "start to carry out the" Wu "combat order, turn to Myanmar, and eliminate all the enemies who are invading!" As we all know, the so-called "turn in" is a complete self deception. This is a complete rout. The 33rd division, which persisted until the end of the war, collapsed completely and fled hastily under the counterattack of the British army. It has been proved that even the British army, which was arbitrarily crushed by the German army, still had the strength of World War I in front of the Japanese army. Of course, the US Army, which was strengthened to yingpal, also played an important role. The 15th Division also gave up the attack and ran away. They abandoned their armor and armor and retreated backward. They did not even want the precious tanks. They left all these precious lumps on the roadside and burned them. So, just at the beginning of the scene, the Japanese soldiers with their wounded, step by step in pain on the road of defeat. They walk towards the starting place with a dejected look. From time to time, someone falls down so straight, and then rolls down to the distance and can't see any more. The rest of the people numbly watched their companions fall down, and even had no strength to rescue them.
