Eijin Tatsuya was screaming there, and couldn't believe it, but Kawaguchi Heiji had already reacted.
"That's enough, stop shouting!" Kawaguchi Heiji said with a livid face, "We were fooled. If I guessed correctly, the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment had probably already passed through the cornfield. The real main force of the Independent Regiment had gone into the tunnel to hide, but what appeared later was not just the militiamen pretending to be the main force of the Independent Regiment."
"Nani?" Yongjin Tatsuya said in shock, "What are we chasing after are just militiamen?"
"Haven't you figured it out until now?" Kawaguchi Heiji said with a gloomy face, "This is clearly a trap carefully designed by Xu Rui. Xu Rui really has a big appetite. It turns out that he actually took the entire independent Tuan was acting as bait to catch me, a big fish, and it turned out that he really wanted to swallow my Kawaguchi detachment in one bite, hum!"
After a pause here, Kawaguchi Heiji added: "But I don't believe it, he can really swallow it!"
Until now, Kawaguchi Heiji was surprised but not afraid, because the entire U-shaped bay of Yema Beach is more than one kilometer wide. Kawaguchi Heiji never believed that Xu Rui had the ability to create a flame belt more than one kilometer long to block the entire Yema Beach. , what's more, even if Xu Rui really created a flame belt that was more than one kilometer long, even if he really blocked the exit of the U-shaped bend, it would not be a big deal. Both sides of the U-shaped bay are adjacent to the Mei River. There will never be a fire, and you can always get out from there. Of course, the speed may be slower, but at least you can get out.
What's more, there are 4th and 6th Infantry Brigades at the north and south corners outside Mustang Beach to respond.
However, Kawaguchi Heiji did not know that the 4th and 6th Infantry Brigades stationed at the north and south exits of Mustang Beach were also included in the ground fire burning belt and were also trapped.
Therefore, before Kawaguchi Heiji gave the order to move to the north and south corners, the communication troops of the 4th and 6th Infantry Battalions arrived first and reported the news that they were trapped to Kawaguchi Heiji.
After receiving reports from the 4th and 6th Infantry Brigades, Kawaguchi Heiji finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
If even the two gaps in the north and south of Yema Beach are blocked, then the Kawaguchi detachment will really have no way to go. Looking back suddenly, Kawaguchi Heiji's eyes were fixed on the roaring road ahead under the night sky. Meihe, break out from Meihe? Thinking about it makes people despair. In such a fast river, wouldn't a person be swept away immediately as soon as he jumped in
But if we don't break out from Meihe, how can we break out from the front? Not to mention that passing through the flame belt requires a lot of courage, not to mention that there is a Dameishan Independent Regiment behind the flame belt to block it. Even if you barely break through, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. So, should you retreat to Yematan and defend it? ? Is it possible to dig through underground coal seams
As long as the underground coal seams are dug out, or the water from the Meihe River at the north and south ends is diverted to the tidal flats, won't we not be afraid of fire attacks
Kawaguchi Heiji immediately ordered the 3rd Infantry Battalion to retreat and work with the 1st Infantry Battalion to dig canals on Yematan. It would be best if the underground coal seams could be dug. If the coal seams could not be dug, water from the Mei River should at least be introduced to extinguish the coal seams. The ground fire must at least protect the last small piece of survival land for the Kawaguchi detachment.
In addition, Kawaguchi Heiji did not easily give up his plan to break out from the front.
Kawaguchi Heiji transferred back the 4th and 6th infantry brigades from the north and south sides, joined forces, and launched a breakout from a point in the middle. However, the attacks of the two infantry brigades were fiercely blocked by the independent regiments, and the battle was hard. For half an hour, they were still unable to break through the gap. Then, the burning belt that Xu Rui had been waiting for for a long time finally closed completely.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it has completely connected into a line, encompassing the entire Yema Beach and several kilometers outside. Looking from a distance, it seems that the entire earth is on fire, which is very spectacular.
Seeing that nothing could be done, Kawaguchi Heiji could only order to stop the attack. Now the Japanese could not even come within thirty meters of the flame belt, and all the gaps had disappeared and been closed. How could the attack continue
Now, Kawaguchi Heiji can only place his hopes on the water of the Mei River, hoping that the water from the Mei River can be introduced to extinguish the fire on the Yema Beach. Only in this way will the thousands of Japanese troops trapped on the Yema Beach have a chance of survival. If even this method doesn't work, then I'm afraid they will just be buried in Yema Beach today.
(Dividing line)
"Old Xu, the Japanese have given up."
Leng Tiefeng got up from the ground and looked dimly at the burning flame belt in front of him.
Behind Leng Tiefeng, the Siberian Tigers, Soldiers, Decepticons, Mountain Leopards and other team members also stood up.
Behind the special operations team, more than 500 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion also stood up, all of them looking excited.
Until now, the officers and soldiers of the special operations team and the 3rd Battalion feel like they are in a dream. They can't even believe that this is true. The Kawaguchi detachment has nearly 10,000 people, and they are trapped in Wild Horse Beach like this
Even if the Kawaguchi detachment still has a considerable number of troops stationed in Meizhen, the headquarters has not come, and even if the cavalry regiment has been sent to an unknown place, but even so, there are at least nearly 100 Japanese soldiers trapped on Yematan. Two infantry regiments plus an artillery regiment, there are at least five to six thousand people!
Five to six thousand people, including the most elite Japs, were trapped on Yema Beach like this
Moreover, it won't be long before these five or six thousand Japs will be buried in the sea of fire. Thinking of this, the officers and soldiers of the Special Forces Team and the 3rd Battalion were so excited that even the old ** began to get angry!
Damn, this is so enjoyable, this battle is so enjoyable!
Huang Shouxin, Mei Jiuling and their dozen or so platoon leaders who came from the youth training team were even more impressed.
"Captain, you are so powerful. How can you be so sure that an old devil like Kawaguchi Heiji will be fooled?"
"Captain, when the package was dropped in that cornfield, weren't you afraid that the old devil would send troops into the cornfield to search?"
"Captain, the fire has completely spread now. Although it will take time to cover the entire Yematan, the little devil is doomed no matter what. God, this is an entire detachment!"
More than a dozen officers from the youth training team surrounded Xu Rui with admiration on their faces.
"Hey, you've seen it, you have to use your brains to fight, you can't just act recklessly, you should learn from it." Xu Rui chuckled, and casually threw the Sanba Gai in his hand to Mo Zichen behind him, Then he led more than 500 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to the north entrance of the U-shape Yematan, while Leng Tiefeng led special operations to the south entrance of the U-shape.
Because the north and south entrances of the U-shaped Yematan are close to the Mei River, the fire will inevitably be affected. At least the river beach soaked by the river water cannot catch fire, so the Japanese may break out from here, so when the U-shaped After the front of the exit was completely blocked by fire, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng immediately divided into two groups to reinforce the north and south entrances.
He Guangming's 1st Battalion was responsible for the defense of the north entrance. When Xu Rui arrived, the entire north entrance was quiet. Only the monstrous fire turned the entire river beach red, and also reflected the faces of the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion red, just like the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion and the Special Forces Team. , seeing that this monstrous fire had trapped the main force of the Kawaguchi detachment, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion were also inexplicably excited.
He Guangming and the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion never thought that a war could be fought like this, without relying on weapons or lives, just relying on gasoline and a coal field. They actually trapped an elite detachment of the Japanese. Moreover, it would not take long. , this trapped elite detachment, with five or six thousand Japanese soldiers, will most likely be reduced to ashes!
This desolate Yematan could very well become the crematorium for five to six thousand Japanese!
Thinking of this, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion could no longer calm down, and they were all very excited.
Therefore, as soon as they saw Xu Rui, He Guangming and his three company commanders immediately came up to him, and whether it was He Guangming or the three company commanders Yao Lei, Gao Chu, and Zhu Chen, they looked at Xu Rui's eyes They were all very enthusiastic, especially Yao Lei. He had always been resistant to Xu Rui before, but after the battle at Xiaoli Village, especially tonight's battle at Yematan, he already admired Xu Rui. I fell to the ground.
There is really no one who can stand up to a commander like Xu Rui.
"Lao He, how is the situation? Have the Japanese broken through from the north entrance?" Xu Rui asked.
He Guangming said: "The Japs just tried to break out from the coast. Because the river was fast, the troops that could be invested each time were too few. As a result, they were easily beaten back by us, so the Japs gave up quickly, but now the Japs are on the wild horse." A ditch was dug on the north side of the beach, apparently with the intention of diverting water from the Mei River to the beach to extinguish the ground fire."
While talking, He Guangming took Xu Rui to the bank of the turbulent Mei River.
Yematan is U-shaped, and the Meihe River flowing around Yematan is more like a flat "ji" shape. Standing on the upper edge of the "ji" shape, you can clearly see the Japanese on Yematan in the middle. He was busy digging canals to divert water from the river, but when he saw the Japanese digging canals to divert water, Xu Rui was not busy at all.
"Dig, let them dig, hehe." Xu Rui was really not in a hurry. Not to mention that the Japanese were in a hurry. He did not bring any engineers with him, let alone anyone who could take advantage of him. How many meters deep could he dig a trench with just a bayonet? Even if the Japanese really dug a ditch across Yematan, would they really be able to stop the spread of the fire? It's too simple to think.
Is it so easy to put out a coalfield fire
If coalfield fires were so easy to put out, the Wuda coalfield fire in Xinjiang would not have burned for fifty years!
As long as the fire in the coal fields does not go out, the Japanese's introduction of river water will not only bring no benefit to them, but will also lead to their demise, because the river water will vaporize when it encounters the hot ground fire, and will form hot water vapor. It will not take long for a large amount of water to be produced. The scorching hot water vapor will fill the entire Yema Beach, and then the five or six thousand little Japanese from the Kawaguchi detachment can take a sauna.
However, there is a time limit for sauna use. Very few people can last in the sauna room for fifteen minutes. Even if all the little devils in the Kawaguchi detachment are Zenith stars, all of them can survive the high temperature and high humidity steam. Fifteen minutes, what about half an hour? What about two hours? I don’t believe steam can’t kill you! (To be continued.)
