877 The 6th Division is destroyed
Kanda no longer needed binoculars, and he could see enemy vehicles rampage in front of him from the balcony of the headquarters. The lightly wounded of the communications squadron and the field hospital had already gone up, but the enemy was coming fiercely, and it seemed that the entire Bangkok defense had collapsed, and the division headquarters would fall within half an hour. He ordered the division flag to be taken and waited for the last moment.
In fact, Huang Tianyang's troops didn't have time to finally surround the headquarters, but Kanda knew that his troops were no longer saved, so he didn't plan to run away. He didn't know, of course, that someone had brought in a rusty slag knife to take revenge on his head, or else he should consider retreating to the harbor area and into the protection of naval artillery. Even if he commits suicide, it is better than when his own head and the head of pigs, cattle and sheep are placed side by side on the altar.
Huang Tianyang, as usual, was personally in the front line command, and usually he either crouched near the mortar position or next to the machine gun position, half-crouching, using his Zeiss telescope to observe the enemy's deployment. If there was a sniper hiding in any of the opposite windows, Huang Tianyang's carefully trimmed mustache, the gleaming gold watch on his hand, and the silver Browning pistol pinned to his waist would all attract priority shooting. However, he seems to have been shrouded in luck by nature, and no one even shoots at him.
Seeing that the attack of the troops in front of him was blocked, a group of wounded soldiers of the enemy supplemented the defensive line, which seemed to have some combat effectiveness. Huang Tianyang couldn't hold back his impatience, he summoned the communication soldier with the walkie-talkie to the side and took the intercom.
"Battalion Commander Sun, tell the brothers that the first to attack the headquarters will be rewarded with 1,000 dollars."
Such a pre-battle reward, of course Chu Tingchang's military department will not buy it, and every time Huang Tianyang pays for it.
Although the enemy did not have time to dig through each other and build fortifications, the buildings themselves were solid, difficult to penetrate with 12.7 mm machine guns, and had a large number of windows to cover each other, which was very suitable for defense.
However, Huang Tianyang is very familiar with this place, and recently, he often comes here to give speeches to students, talking about his journey from a rich young master to a first-class general in the past six months. By the way, I played tennis and picked up girls. So, he knew that one side of the complex was windowless. If the enemy doesn't have time to make a hole in this wall, there will be a shooting blind spot. He gave the order to the half-track to go around from the side, and then the sappers blew up the gap on this side. This is a rare shining point in his conducting career, and he even has the tactic of avoiding reality and making up for fiction.
Eight half-tracks moved quickly, and as they moved, they were constantly confronted with ammunition fired from grenadiers from the roofs of Japanese troops. For open-top half-tracks, this type of curved ammunition is always a threat. The soldiers in the car constantly strafed the roof with automatic weapons to suppress the enemy's observation, but it could not stop the enemy from hiding in the blind spot to shoot.
Now they had to operate in the gap between the enemy's grenadiers and *, but there was such a passage that could not be covered by two fires. The grenadiers of the Japanese army could only shoot at a fixed angle, and the trajectory was chosen by controlling the length of the firing barrel, otherwise there was no accurate head. Especially when shooting at higher positions, there is a minimum range of 100-120 meters, and * cannot be thrown too far. This covering blind spot was observed by the Chinese soldiers, and several combat vehicles passed through in continuous explosions, approaching the position designated by Huang Tianyang, and sure enough, the enemy on this side did not have time to blow up the firing hole and deploy machine-gun fire.
The sappers in the car came down with blasters and headed for the solid wall. The heavy machine gun left a lot of holes in the wall, and if you shove * into it, you can successfully blow up a wall.
The Japanese discovered the movement of the Chinese army, desperately threw it from the top*, and tried to take advantage of the condescending superiority to block the movement of the Chinese army with machine gun fire nets, but the Chinese army had too many automatic weapons, and completely suppressed the observation of the Japanese probe above and the attempt to set up machine guns.
One of the sappers crawled through the Japanese army*, reached the wall, stuffed the blaster into a hole, and pulled down* to evacuate.
With a loud explosion, half of the wall collapsed. The Japanese command was completely exposed. Two platoons of soldiers bravely rushed into the enemy headquarters. In the hand-to-hand battle in small tunnels, the Chinese army, using * and *, completely gained the upper hand. The Japanese rifle with the traditional technique of stabbing was at a disadvantage.
Huang Tianyang personally took charge of the fire company and instructed the mortar to attack the enemy on the roof of the building. He could see the enemy commander on the roof through a telescope. Kanda was also looking at him through the binoculars, and the two of them saw each other smiling slightly through the eyepieces at the same time.
Kanda, who was on the roof of the building, had been hit by shrapnel and was bleeding from his forehead, and he began to make the final deployment, while the communication was still open.
Lieutenant General Kanda demanded that the temporary division headquarters be transferred to the 23rd Wing, and that the 23rd Wing, which was also heavily surrounded, Sudo Daisa, be appointed to take over the command of the division. Then he turned around and turned to one soldier with the divisional flag in his hand, and another soldier was pouring gasoline.
Kanda ordered the flag to be lit, and the flag of the division given by the Emperor in the 21st year of the Meiji era (1888) was allowed to burn. The flag, which once flew proudly in the cities of Weihai, Jinan, Shijiazhuang, Shanghai and Nanjing, has now been reduced to ashes.
Huang Tianyang didn't know all the significance of his blind attack, he actually knew very little about the history of the 6th Division's invasion of China, and at this moment in his heart, family hatred actually surpassed national hatred. His uncle became the last Chinese to be slaughtered by the 6th Division.
The Chinese army quickly cleared several buildings of the resisting enemy, and together eliminated the enemy's field hospital at a distance. The field hospital became Kanda's last source of reserves, and the lightly wounded were all killed, and the wounded who could shoot were also thrown into the battle, but this resistance was easily broken. Huang Tianyang's troops used * to deal with the last recalcitrant doctors, nurses and wounded soldiers.
The soldiers stormed the roof and found six mortars blown into parts and the dead bodies of nearly a squadron, from which they found the dying Lieutenant General Kanda. A few minutes earlier, the lieutenant general had attempted suicide with *, but a 60* exploded next to him, knocking him unconscious, thus shattering his last wishes.
The soldiers dragged him downstairs, and Huang Tianyang and his firing squad rushed to the scene in the midst of the fighting.
A Swedish female teacher who teaches Oppenheim's international law at a university saw several soldiers get out of a jeep and drag a large knife from the car, which looks like it is all rusted and chipped.
Foreseeing something newsworthy, she stood behind the soldier with her Leica camera in hand. The soldiers scolded the governess and tried to drive her away.
Huang Tianyang quickly stopped the soldier from being rude and smiled at the female teacher with whom he had played tennis. He had no political nerves, and he was quite proud to see foreigners watching, but how did he know that not every Westerner was on the side of the Allies.
Kanda, who was covered in blood, was dragged to Huang Tianyang's eyes.
"Turn off the knife, please!" Huang Tianyang stood on the jeep and shouted.
Two soldiers came over with a big knife, this knife weighed 82 pounds when it was first built, and now it has rusted a lot, but it is still about 70 pounds.
A big man took the big knife and tried to turn the wheel, which was indeed very unlucky.
"If General Guan blesses the army of Chu, kills all the way to Tokyo, and destroys Japan, please cut off the head of this thief with a knife."
He arched his hand to heaven.
"Uncle, my nephew swore to avenge you, and now my nephew has done it."
With that, he turned away.
"Chop."
The strong man raised and dropped his sword, but found it difficult to handle such a heavy weapon. All of a sudden, the rusty knife slapped Kanda on the back of the head and smashed it on the spot.
Huang Tianyang turned his head and found that he had messed up.
"How? You can't even kill your head, doesn't you mean that you are the best at killing pigs? Make foreigners laugh. ”
Huang Tianyang turned to the Swedish female teacher over there, only to see that the woman was holding a camera in her hand, her face was pale and trembling.
"Master, do you want to come again?"
"Well, you must cut off my head this time, or I will go back to confinement."
"Yes."
The strong man picked up the big knife, and the second cut was much more accurate, but it only smashed the neck bones, and the human head was still connected with a little skin, and Huang Tianyang was helpless, so he could only end it hastily.
Chu Tingchang did not know that Huang Tianyang had caused him a big disaster, which might cause his trip to Cairo to be frustrated, and at this moment, his attention turned to the 4th and 5th divisions under the mountain, these two troops had been besieged by his main force on the Cambodian-Thai border for a long time, and they were waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive so that they could be annihilated in one fell swoop. He foresaw that his succession of victories would greatly shorten the course of the war. It may be different from the original historical trend, this time the Japanese Army will first defeat the Japanese Navy.
Zhou Youfu fought smoothly in the east, and the Japanese troops who rushed from Guangxi were no match for him at all, and now this rescue force was getting farther and farther away from the mountain, and it was difficult to save the fate of the mountain.
However, in the direction of Malaya, Tao Mingzhang sent a telegram, which made him have to be distracted. Chen Ping finally had information there. The army hospital in Kuala Lumpur, which has been heavily guarded recently, seems to have some big names inside. What is particularly strange is that the army hospital actually invited several naval doctors to go for consultation, which shows that the big man is still very unusual. It seems that the stakes are significant and cannot be moved back to home for treatment.
This news made Chu Tingchang's brain buzz for a moment. He had a hunch that Lin Xiuxuan's prediction that "even if there is one percent of hope, the traverser may slip through his fingers" may come true.
Of course, if Makino does survive, he may be in some kind of "serious state" that cannot be moved, and it may be too late to remedy. He urgently informed Lin Xiuxuan, who was near the 5th Division, of the situation, hoping that he could get an idea.
Lin Xiuxuan was studying the defense under the mountain, and his group had just arrived, hoping to find the enemy's weakest defensive area through night reconnaissance and complete a division of the 5th and 4th divisions. Due to the high local jungle coverage, drone reconnaissance does not allow full insight into enemy deployments. Some dead spots require ground reconnaissance assistance.
