Chapter 347
In this battle, the deaf and mute Juesheng Brigade raided in the front in the early morning, and more than 8,000 officers and soldiers of the reorganized Chinese and Indian divisions were besieged in the back. In the chaos, the two armies met in close combat, and the battle was almost a hand-to-hand battle.
Although the Japanese Seventh Regiment was strong, it was attacked and was deeply encircled and lost the help of heavy machine guns and artillery weapons. Therefore, even though the Seventh Regiment fought to the death, it could not defeat four hands with both fists, and eventually the entire army was wiped out.
According to post-war statistics, only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Chinese-Indian reorganized division were killed, and more than 1,850 were injured. The casualties were rare, which made the division commander Aaron Kwok-ming finally proud.
Political Commissar Zhuge Changjie held the hand of Ning Feixing, the captain of Juesheng Brigade, and said gratefully: "Captain Ning, thank you very much for Juesheng Brigade. You don't know. We fought two battles with the Japanese army with absolute advantage, and the casualties were more than twice that of the Japanese army. You have made great contributions to this battle."
Ning Feixing was a mute who could hear but could not speak. He pulled his hand back when he heard this and quickly made gestures to answer.
Piaotian Wenxue.com beside him said: "Political Commissar Zhuge, please don't be polite. Our Juesheng Brigade can get this rare practical training. Thank you, Commander Guo and Political Commissar Zhuge."
The two of them were polite, and the sign language translator said on behalf of Ning Feixing: "Political Commissar Zhuge, in fact, the performance of our Juesheng Brigade in this battle is not satisfactory. If the PLA's most elite special forces brigade took action, the Japanese army would never have discovered it so early. Therefore, I request that in the next operation, we will let our Juesheng Brigade participate in the battle more to improve the technical and tactical level of Juesheng Brigade and make us a real special forces elite as soon as possible."
"Haha, Captain Ning, don't worry, if you have the chance, you will definitely have the chance." Zhuge Changjie smiled and nodded repeatedly.
While Zhuge Changjie and the others were talking, Aaron Kwok-ming ran to the mountain of spoils. Looking at the 9 intact Maxim heavy machine guns and countless ammunition, Aaron Kwok-ming was very happy.
"Teacher Commander, how about it? The headquarters did not configure Maxim heavy machine guns for us, so we seized them from the Japanese army." Lin Nandong, the commander of the brigade, got out of nowhere and said proudly: "Hehe, with these big guys, we will not be suppressed in firepower when we meet the Japanese army below the squadron in the future."
"Okay," Aaron Kwok said happily: "Nandong, for the first time, I have designed to defeat the Japanese army, and you have been designing to defeat the Japanese army. You guys are really good at doing it. I want to report the detailed process of your command of the battle. Haha, what our PLA lacks is a senior commander like you who likes to use your brain and is good at commanding. You have a broad future, do it well."
"Thank you for your cultivation, the subordinates will not let you down," Lin Nandong said respectfully with a military salute.
Aaron Kwok waved his hand clearly and turned to Chief of Staff Song Ping and said, "The Japanese army suffered this great defeat and was ruined. After its main force arrived, they would definitely look for us to retaliate. Chief of Staff, you immediately give orders to all brigades to step up cleaning the battlefield and prepare to retreat."
"Yes" Before Chief of Staff Song Ping took the order to leave, he said with a smile: "The Japanese army is not familiar with the terrain. As long as we escape into the mountains, they will have no choice but to do anything to us."
At less than 9 a.m., the officers and soldiers of the Chinese-Indian reorganized division cleaned the battlefield and evacuated Sota Town in an orderly manner before the main force of the Japanese 9th Division arrived.
At around 11 o'clock noon, more than 1,400 people from the Cavalry Regiment of the Japanese 9th Division rushed to Sota Town. They quickly searched and confirmed that the Seventh Regiment had been eliminated. Indonesian xenophobic Army had evacuated and were confused.
The commander of the regiment, Asoro Kobayashi, sent a cavalry team to pursue the traces of the Indonesian xenophobic army, and sent people to report the situation to the division commander Katsuka Tsukamoto.
After half an hour, the 35th Japanese infantry Regiment arrived in the run and occupied the empty town of Sota and nearby areas.
At around 2 pm, Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto and the commander of the division headquarters came to the small village where the Japanese Seventh Regiment were wiped out under the protection of the 19th Infantry Regiment.
I saw a big sign erected in front of the small village, which read: The Seventh Japanese Army Regiment, the entire army was wiped out here.
Indonesia's xenophobic army was established.
Looking at the bombed 75mm mountain cannon and the Japanese corpse burned to the point of bones, the division commander Katsuka Tsukamoto felt so majestic. He shouted in fury: "The powerful army of the Japanese Empire in Bageyalu was defeated by the lowly Indonesian monkeys. Can anyone tell me what's going on?..."
All the Japanese commanders were silent and did not dare to interrupt and speak.
Since defeating the Qing Dynasty and the Russian Empire, the Japanese army has made outstanding achievements and is well-known, and there is no enemy in Asia that can fight against it.
However, this time, a gang was destroyed by the weakest Indonesian monkey in the world. How could this shame be able to bear the strong Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto, who has always been strong, bear it.
Moreover, if this news spreads, it will not only cause great humiliation from the Japanese army, but also be criticized and attacked by various domestic forces. It will also be ridiculed by hostile countries internationally, making the Japanese Empire lose all its face and become a laughing stock internationally. Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto cannot afford this responsibility.
Katsuka Tsuka gritted his teeth for a while, and asked the captain of the cavalry regiment, Asoro Kobayashi, "Kobayashi, your troops have been searching for so long, but have you not found the Indonesian xenophobic army?"
Kobayashi Asoro was uneasy and stepped forward and replied, "Secretary Commander, the Indonesian xenophobic army is divided into two parts to escape. Hu Yi sent several teams of cavalry to pursue the direction of the Indonesian xenophobic army's escape, all of which were ambushed by the Indonesian xenophobic army's broken rear troops and lost more than 20 cavalry. Therefore, the exact location of the main force of the Indonesian xenophobic army has not been found yet."
Only two "slap" sounds were heard, and two very conspicuous slap marks were left on Kobayashi Sengoro's left and right faces.
"Your movements are very slow at Bageyalu..." Katsuka Tsuka scolded sternly.
"Haihayi" Kobayashi Asoro endured the pain and bowed his body and kept agreeing.
After venting the anger in Tsukamoto Katsuka finally calmed down, thought for a long time, and ordered: "This matter must not be disclosed, if the violation is engaged in military law."
The Japanese commanders of the "Haiyi" army all responded to their orders.
Katsuka Tsukamoto continued: "Convene a military meeting in Sota Town right away."
On the way to Sota Town, Katsuka Tsukamoto called Kobayashi Asoro and said coldly: "Kobayashi, the cavalry will stop pursuing Indonesian xenophobic troops for the time being, set up a warning area on the periphery to prevent the enemy from attacking the ambush."
"Hai" Asoro Kobayashi was granted a general amnesty and hurriedly left...
