Chapter 212 The West Gate of Borneo (fourth update, please subscribe)
Blood and bloody!
Finally, when the bombing ended, the surviving Japanese soldiers in the Lahad Datu military camp looked at the sky with lingering fear. The screams in their ears and the tragic situation in front of them made them unable to believe what they were seeing.
The comrades who were chatting and laughing with them more than ten minutes ago had changed their appearance.
Napalm bombings never kill anyone!
It can only burn people to death, if they are lucky enough!
But there are not many such lucky people. After the bombing, the camp was full of "bonfires" - Pyromen with burning flames on their bodies.
The Japanese soldiers whose thighs and arm tendons were scorched could no longer move or wave their arms. Lying on the ground, their mouths let out a howling sound that made people nightmare.
Major Zuo Teng was frightened by the tragic situation in front of him. Although he was cruel by nature, he had never seen such a tragic situation.
“This, is this Abi Hell!”
Looking at the camp that had become like hell during the bombing, the burning subordinates who were either struggling or lying on the ground, their wailing sounds made people feel like they were in hell. It seemed that in his ears, there was only Under their wails and supplications.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a gunshot awoke Major Sato from his shock and fear. He saw Itada shooting at a burning man, howling. The fireman finally fell silent.
"To all the iron cannons..."
Ending their pain with one shot is the greatest relief for these Japanese soldiers whose bodies are burning.
But when they delivered a shot of relief to their comrades, they were frightened by the tragic situation and wailing in front of them. They completed the task with almost panic on their faces.
After taking inventory, Major Zuoteng found that of the 765 people in the brigade, only 112 were left, and the others were all set on fire.
"The large Chinese force should be on the road, retreating to Danan!"
Although he was unwilling, Major Saoten also issued the order he was least willing to give.
Retreat, go west!
At this point, he had no choice but to retreat. Staying here is a dead end.
Because the radio station was destroyed and the phone lines were cut off, they lost contact with the brigade headquarters and could only wander into this wild rain forest aimlessly.
It’s just that no one saw them again - I don’t know whether it was the diseases and wild beasts in the rain forest that devoured them, or the natives in the rain forest who devoured them - those natives even maintained the habit of headhunting Habit.
Two days later, a group of officers and soldiers from the security force arrived at Lahad Datu, which was deserted. What they saw in front of them was nothing but ruins.
……
The bombing did not stop. After bombing the Japanese military camp in Lahad Datu, the Borneo Air Force attacked in all directions and bombed the Japanese army. For a time, the entire North Borneo was set on fire.
Gasoline is readily available - there are oil fields and refineries on Tarakan Island. As for naphthenic acid and palmitic acid, although they need to be transported from the United States, the quantities are sufficient and only a few dozen tons can be produced. Thousands of tons of napalm. As for iron sheets, it's even simpler. Even empty gasoline barrels can be used to make bombs if accuracy is not considered.
While the pilots of the Borneo Air Force were practicing barbecue techniques with the Japanese soldiers from North Borneo, the ground troops also began to launch the final attack on the Japanese 56th Brigade in Tennan.
In the sky above the rain forest, there was the dull whistling sound of mortar shells flying by everywhere, and the violent explosions directly blew the nearby Japanese soldiers into the sky.
Compared to the 150mm heavy artillery which weighs several tons, the offensive troops prefer the 120mm mortar, which is light in weight but powerful in shells. It has always been the favorite of the infantry. But for little Japan, this kind of heavy mortar shells is fatal. After all, simple civil fortifications cannot stop heavy artillery shells.
After several rounds of shelling, the Japanese position became riddled with holes, and there were wounded soldiers everywhere struggling in pools of blood.
"Baga, why do the Chinese have so many artillery shells? Where are our cannons?"
No one would answer Jin Teng's question. At this time, Jin Teng heard Xiaolin's cry for help. Xiao Lin came from the same village as him. He turned around and saw that Xiao Lin's legs had been blown off and he was lying in a pool of blood struggling.
"Jin Teng, Jin Teng, help me, help me..."
Listening to Xiao Lin's shouts, Jin Teng's brows wrinkled, this guy has already Exposed to the enemy's sight, how to save him?
But Xiao Lin kept calling for help. Suddenly, Jin Teng gritted his teeth and picked up the Type 99 rifle. "Bang"
After the gunshot, Xiaolin, who was shot in the head, stopped shouting. After the shot, Jin Teng was mumbling.
"What a nasty guy, now he's relieved."
Just as Kinteng was cursing, a sniper holding a sniper rifle in the distance had already taken aim. Got him.
After a gunshot, Jin Teng stopped talking.
“Crash!”
Withdraw the shell, reload the gun, and take aim. Xu Kun, lying among the vegetation in the rainforest, put his right eye against the scope and continued to search for the target.
Although snipers are common in security forces, each infantry company has a sniper squad, three sniper teams, and six snipers. But in fact, the training of snipers is not easy, and the elimination rate is very high. They are also regarded as well-known teachers - the instructors are all from sniper schools in Germany, and they have all experienced cruel war tests.
As early as the actual combat training in Zamboanga, these snipers played a great role. They were like heavy artillery in the hands of the company platoon leader. They could kill the Japanese machine gunners at any time. The machine gun went mute.
It can also make those Japanese soldiers shrink back and not dare to show their heads.
“One more one comes out, another one comes out...”
Maybe God heard Xu Kun’s prayer, and soon another Japanese soldier showed his head. He seemed to want to shoot. , but what greeted him was a bullet, which hit him right between the eyebrows. At the moment when the bullet hit, Xu Kun even saw the brains flying out of the opened skull.
"There are snipers..."
The Japanese soldiers shouted, in the past days, the thing that scared them the most was the fire-breathing soldiers who would burn everything. One is an elusive sniper. As soon as he shows up, his head will be knocked off.
What is the scariest thing on the battlefield?
There is nothing better than the threat of death at any time.
As soon as they heard that there was a sniper, all the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground and huddled up, not daring to show their heads for fear of being knocked on the head.
"Da, da..."
There is only the Type 92 heavy machine gun, which is still shooting tenaciously. There is no other. The Type 92 heavy machine gun uses a periscope sight. Shooting in the line of fire.
Suddenly, accompanied by a dull whistling sound and a violent explosion, the heavy machine gun also stopped shooting. Some Japanese soldiers wanted to escape in panic, but as soon as they got up, they were knocked to the ground. There was still someone who dared to move. .
There were only a few Japanese soldiers left on the battlefield who were injured and exposed to the line of fire. They were shouting for help, but there were people who dared to show up.
There are snipers who will die if they take the lead. Who dares to take the lead?
But these Japanese soldiers have obviously forgotten one thing - the enemy is not just a sniper, and not just one.
Just when they were cowering and not daring to take the lead, a small group of soldiers had already approached their defense line from the flanks. The dense rainforest hid their whereabouts. When they were only two or three meters away, they held flamethrowers. The warriors sprayed a burst of fire towards the Japanese soldiers behind the bunker. The splashing fire dragon swallowed up the Japanese soldiers. The burning napalm stained the Japanese soldiers, making them all jump up with howls and turned into burning men. Running and howling, the other Japanese soldiers saw this and were swallowed by another fire dragon before they could react quickly.
In the wanton spray of flamethrowers, groups of Japanese soldiers were ignited, while other soldiers took the opportunity to attack.
"Don't shoot, burn them to death..."
As in the past, the soldiers did not help the burning people to escape, but shot and killed other Japanese soldiers to their heart's content. Soon, the resistance of the Japanese soldiers was broken down.
Two days later, the Japanese 37th Army Headquarters in Kota Kinabalu, under the order of its commander Masao Baba, turned towards Sarawak. In order to ensure that the headquarters and the main force of the army moved south smoothly, the Japanese left A brigade of troops was stationed in Kota Kinabalu.
The next morning, the outer defense line of Kota Kinabalu was conquered, and a group of tanks rushed into Kota Kinabalu. Most of the remaining Japanese soldiers chose a suicidal charge, which was actually just to die. The liberation of Kota Kinabalu also meant that the western gate of North Borneo was finally opened. Masao Baba, who led the 37th Army to retreat south to Sarawak, carried out a robbery and massacre as he passed through Brunei. , after looting the Royal Palace of Brunei, they set fire to the city and the Royal Palace...
