"Have you crossed the river yet?"
"Yes, Sir, the enemy has crossed the Hakata River!"
Standing in front of Yamashita Fengwen, an assistant officer said respectfully.
"What position?"
As he spoke, Yamashita Fengwen took a picture of the military map on the wall. The assistant officer quickly walked to the map and pointed to a location north of Dhaka.
"Here, the enemy has landed at Rajbari."
"Rajbari"
Yamashita Fengwen nodded.
"It was unexpected."
“As he said this, Yamashita Fengwen glanced at the position of Rajbari.
"Here"
Unlike He Zhuguo, Yamashita Fengwen has very limited troops. Counting the new reinforcements from Japan, the troops still loyal to the former Thai government, and the troops recruited in India by the Provisional Government of Free India, Yamashita Fengwen only has more than 600,000 troops. .
Of the more than 600,000 people, a considerable number of troops must be allocated to govern the occupied areas, as well as the troops to confront the British. At present, the troops Yamashita Fengfumi has on hand are quite insufficient.
So even though there is a 'small' natural barrier like the Hakata River, Yamashita Fengwen can only focus on defending some places. As for other locations, if Rajbari, who chose to land in the Zhuguo Kingdom, can only deploy some troops.
Fortunately, Yamashita Fengwen was not unprepared
"Call the troops in Rajbari and ask them to report back the situation there at any time. Also, inform the troops in Kushtia and Friedpur to prepare for an attack"
"clear!"
The assistant officer said with his legs together.
"Go down."
"yes."
Just as Yamashita Fengwen continued to look at the map, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"General. How is the situation on the front line now?"
Yamashita Fengfumi turned around and saw that there was Subhas Chandra Bose, the priceless treasure and heartthrob of the current Tojo government, the leader of the Provisional Government of Free India and the supreme commander of the Indian National Army.
"You are here"
" Yamashita Fengfumi still dare not neglect Tojo Hideki's pet peeve. So he said quickly.
Boss nodded, then glanced at the landing point just plotted on the map.
"Is this where the Chinese landed?"
"That's right."
"How is the war going now?"
Yamashita Fengwen shook his head.
"The Chinese have just captured a beachhead there, and now the troops are trying to push them back into the river, but"
But what, Baos also knows very well that since the other party can come up, it will not be easy to drive him down.
"Then what should we do now?"
"Don't worry" A smile appeared on Yamashita Fengwen's round face. "Since you can't push them away, then don't push them away"
"This way" Bose had also heard of Yamashita Fengwen's reputation in the Indochina Peninsula. In addition, the newly established free Indian government still needs to rely on Japan and Germany in many places, so Bose did not ask any more questions.
Subhash Chandra Bose was a radical political activist in India, the leader of the Provisional Government of Free India, and the supreme commander of the Indian National Army.
Bose was born in British India. He later completed university studies in Calcutta; then went to study at Cambridge University in England, and participated in Gandhi's non-violent non-cooperation movement in 1921. But he was a radical who fought for India's independence. He served as the speaker of the Indian National Congress from 1937 to 1939, but was later expelled by the moderates led by Gandhi.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Bose traveled from India to Germany via Afghanistan and the Soviet Union in 1941. and formed an Indian brigade of two thousand men in Germany. In 1943, he was invited by Japan to take a German U-shaped submarine out of Kiel, via Madagascar, and then transferred to the Japanese submarine No. 29 in the Indian Ocean to Japan. He traveled to Japan with support from Tokyo. The Provisional Government of Free India was established on October 21, 1943, and he became the Supreme Commander of the Indian National Army. In the same year, he participated in the Greater East Asia Conference led by Japan.
After Japan’s defeat and surrender in August 1945, Bowes was on his way to Japan by plane on August 18. Died due to plane crash at Taipei Songshan Airport. The body was cremated at the Taipei Municipal Crematorium, and a ritual ceremony was held at Nishi Honganji Temple in Taipei. The remains were then transported to Japan and buried at Renkoji Temple in Suginami District, Tokyo. Long after his death, there were still many local legends in India claiming that he was still alive. Among the three portraits in front of the Indian Parliament, he is juxtaposed with Gandhi and Nehru.?What he said in India.
By the way, the 2,000-man Indian brigade is the extremely famous 950th Indian Infantry Regiment, which can be called a rabble among the rabble.
When they were in Luffey, they raped a French woman and her other daughter, and even shot and killed a 2-year-old girl. In addition, after the war, the French magazine "3945" even published photos of soldiers from the regiment fooling around with female Luftwaffe civilian personnel in Paris.
"It would be great if those Indian soldiers could help"
When thinking this way, Yamashita Fengwen also sighed.
After the Japanese army invaded India and learned that Germany had a figure like Bose in their hands, the Japanese government invited Bose to Japan to preside over the establishment of the Provisional Government of Free India. It also hoped to use Bose's influence to cooperate Japanese rule in India.
In the beginning, this plan was implemented relatively smoothly. As a radical figure second only to Gandhi in terms of influence in India, Bose has considerable influence in India, not to mention how docile the Indians are. , there are also many people who are inclined to resist violently.
So when Bose began to cooperate with Japan in establishing the Provisional Government of Free India in India, especially in Calcutta, a considerable number of Indians enthusiastically joined the newly established Indian National Army.
There were even a considerable number of Indian troops who originally served the British, but also surrendered to Bose.
At first, the Tojo government was naturally overjoyed by this situation. However, it didn't take long for them to discover that these so-called Indian soldiers were simply a ragtag group of people. Their combat effectiveness was not even as good as the local soldiers recruited by Myanmar, and these Indians were quite difficult to serve.
Because of religion, there are not only requirements and taboos of this and that kind. And he often likes to cause trouble. Even in India's own towns, these Indian soldiers will cause a lot of trouble.
Bose is also a member of his own family who knows about his own affairs, and is very aware of how disappointing his Indian compatriots are. However, he knows that he knows it, and he still has to defend his compatriots in person.
Because of these Indian soldiers, Yamashita Fengwen even had a dispute with Bose.
Fortunately, both of them knew what was most important at the moment, so they never had any major disputes.
————————————————————
After successfully seizing the beach. Subsequent landing troops began to board the landing point in a steady stream.
On the other side, Yamashita Fengwen was waiting for news from the front line in the headquarters.
"How many enemy troops are there now?"
"It almost looks like a teacher!"
"A teacher"
Yamashita Fengwen sighed.
"Although it's a little less, it's still the limit"
Thinking so. Yamashita Fengwen said to his subordinates.
“Order the troops of Kushtia and Foridpur to launch a fierce attack on the enemy forces of Rajbari from the left and right wings and cut off their retreat"
“As he spoke, Yamashita Fengwen looked at other locations on the map.
"When ordering troops in other directions, be more vigilant so as not to be caught off guard when the enemy attacks from other directions."
"besides…"
"Order the aviation forces in the rear. After the troops in Kushtia and Foridpur exchange fire with the enemy's landing troops, provide air support to the troops there. We do not ask them to seize the air supremacy, but we ask them not to let the Chinese The bombers were too presumptuous"
“As he spoke, Yamashita Fengwen took another look at the location of Rajbari in the area.
"Whether this operation can be successful or not depends entirely on the Army Aviation"
Yamashita Fengwen knew very well that he could only rely on the few troops he had on hand. It is impossible to defend the entire Hakata River. After all, the entire Hakata River is three hundred kilometers wide. Even if only a small part of it needs to be defended, it is still a considerable distance.
Although He Zhuguo's army on the opposite side does not have more troops than him, they are all regular troops in the National Defense Forces. Unlike the troops in his hands, although a considerable part of them are standing and reserve divisions transferred from the mainland, There are also many former Thai troops and Indian troops. The combat effectiveness of these troops is really not very ideal
Therefore, Yamashita Fengfumi can only carry out key defense and deploy a small number of troops to other secondary areas. This is also impossible. After all, key defense is better than every position being as thin as paper. .
However, Yamashita Fengfumi also knew very well that it was impossible to hold the Hakata River with the troops on hand. Even if the enemy troops who landed were driven down the river, the opponent could come back again.Over and over.
So Yamashita Tobumi had an idea in his mind. Since the Hakata River cannot be defended, why not let the enemy troops in and annihilate them in one fell swoop?
"It is better to cut off one finger than to injure ten of them. Even if the enemy is driven into the river, the enemy will not suffer many casualties. But if all the enemy who land on the river are eaten
Yamashita Fengwen once made an estimate. With the troops he has on hand and the reserves, he can eat almost 10,000 people. If there are more, the situation will become more difficult
More than 10,000 people…
Although there are fierce battles and wars all over the world now, and it is common for hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people to be killed or injured, it is still heartbreaking to have ten thousand people eaten for no reason, not to mention He Zhuguo does not have many troops in India
so…
"Ten thousand people, although not many but enough"
Although he said this, Yamashita Fengfumi was actually thinking about something else.
"If we can eat 10,000 people, even if we lose Calcutta, we can still give an account to the superiors"
The Hakata River may not be able to be defended, and Calcutta may not be defended either.
???????? Shanxia Fengwen knows this well
"The key is whether the Army Aviation people can prevent the enemy from taking away air supremacy before eating these ten thousand people"
Thinking this, Yamashita Fengwen looked at the ceiling of the headquarters, as if he wanted to see through the sky above, but unfortunately he saw nothing
The most critical point in Yamashita Tombumi’s plan. It is about whether the people of the Army Aviation can occupy a place in the sky. They do not seek to seize air supremacy or overwhelm the fighter jets of the National Defense Air Force. They just hope that the National Defense Air Force will not be too unscrupulous in the sky.
Otherwise, even if we can successfully surround the more than 10,000 enemy troops who have landed. Under the indiscriminate bombing by bombers, it would be very easy for these defense forces to run away. In that case, everything would be lost
————————————————————
He Zhuguo was not aware of Yamashita Fengwen's plan. After the troops successfully seized a position, He Zhuguo quickly ordered more troops to cross the river.
In He Zhuguo’s view, as long as the troops can successfully cross the river, the Bodo River is within his grasp. After all, He Zhuguo is still very clear about the combat effectiveness of his troops.
Even the newly mobilized reserve forces. Equipped with the standard equipment of the National Defense Force, it can also be compared with the elite divisions of the Japanese army——Of course, this is mainly because the equipment of the Japanese army is too shabby.
A considerable part of He Zhuguo's hands are the troops of the main group army, although the rest are newly mobilized reserve troops. But it doesn't hurt to rely on the advantages of equipment.
Therefore, as long as the troops can be transported across the river, He Zhuguo asked himself that his men would never lose to Yamashita Fengwen.
"As long as we can capture the Bodo River, it will be a very simple matter to capture Calcutta."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on He Zhuguo's face.
However, when He Zhuguo was still thinking about his dream of seizing the Bodo River and marching into Calcutta. He Zhuguo's adjutant suddenly walked in quickly.
“Commander, something happened!”
"?"
After receiving orders from Yamashita Fengwen, the Japanese troops on the left and right wings of Rajbari, who had been preparing for a long time, launched a fierce attack on the river-crossing troops that had landed in Rajbari.
on the other hand. Yamashita Fengfumi also invested part of the reserve team on hand in order to eat up all the National Defense Forces that had crossed the Hakata River in the shortest possible time.
Because the Japanese army's action was very sudden. In addition, after crossing the Hakata River, the crossing troops were somewhat careless, so they were caught off guard. The National Defense Force's retreat was almost cut off by the Japanese army, but even so it was in danger and could be cut off at any time.
After learning about this situation, He Zhuguo anxiously ordered the follow-up troops to step up the crossing of the river and provide support to the river-crossing troops who were about to be surrounded. At the same time, he urgently ordered the air force in the rear to bomb the Japanese army to relieve the river-crossing troops on the beach who were struggling to support them. pressure.
However, at this time, the Japanese Army Aviation Force also dispatched.
????????In recent times, the Japanese army's Army Aviation Force has been living a very sad life.
Since there are only a very few Type 4 fighters in the Japanese army, and the other Type 3 and Zero Fighters are like lambs to be slaughtered when facing the ZD20 fighter, there are very few fighter jets from both the Army and Hainan Airlines. Go to war.
? This is especially true in Myanmar and India, because they are worried that the number is not very large in the first place.The fighter planes suffered heavy losses, so usually when the Army was bombed, the Army Aviation fighter jets would hide behind and rest
However, this does not mean that the Japanese have no action.
After understanding that Type 3 fighters and Zero Fighters could not effectively fight against the fighters of the National Defense Forces, the Japanese army devoted all its production lines to Type 4 and other fighters that could fight against them.
Moreover, because Japan had technical exchanges with China in the early years, but some technical aspects were higher than Japan in history, so the motivations and other aspects did not suffer as much as in history, and the Four Styles, etc. The fighter can completely compete with the zd20 or p51.
Of course, this does not mean that the National Socialist Government is so stupid that it has no secrets against Japan. It is just that in order to paralyze Japan, the National Socialist Government made a friendly gesture between China and Japan. Under such circumstances, some domestic experts and professors generally have no regard for Japan. Too much vigilance.
Therefore, although the government has repeatedly ordered not to disclose too many new high technologies to Japan, Japan still obtained some through various means, including motivation technology.
Fortunately, the technology in this area is top secret. In addition, Japan is indeed too backward in motivation technology, and Japan itself does not have much of the rare metals required for some motivations. Therefore, Japan's motivation technology has not received much attention. Improvement, but only this small amount, is enough for Japan
After diverting all its production lines to Type 4 and other fighters, Japan quickly produced a considerable number of Type 4 fighters. Since India is one of the areas with the most intense fighting, the number of Type 4 fighters produced is A considerable part of it was transported to India by sea.
And now, whether Yamashita Fengfumi can eat the more than 10,000 National Defense Forces on the beach of the Hakata River depends entirely on these four-type fighter jets
————————————————————
After learning about Hakata Heio, the air force in the rear was also surprised. They did not expect that such a thing would happen in such a good situation.
Although the Air Force and the Army used to be a bit dirty, especially when they divided military expenditures every year, they were their own people anyway. Therefore, after receiving He Zhuguo's order, the Air Force quickly launched fighters and bombers into the air, preparing to attack them. The besieged Wehrmacht offered support.
However, just as they were flying over the Hakata River, Japanese army aviation fighters appeared
I originally looked down upon the Japanese fighter air force. After all, the air battles over the Taiwan Strait had proven everything, and in the past series of bombings, the Japanese Army Air Force's fighter jets were also hiding like Sun Tzu, allowing the National Defense Air Force to attack them. The Japanese Army conducts bombing raids.
But now
“There are four movements in total!!!”
As soon as he pulled the control lever, a driver cursed loudly.
They never expected that all the Japanese fighter planes coming this time were Type 4
If Type 3 and Zero Combat are both bad, then Type 4 is not easy to deal with, not to mention the Japanese military’s pilot training is elite
On the other hand, the Japanese pilots seemed to know the importance of this battle, so they fought extremely crazily (To be continued)
