Chapter 21 japanese pig like play

There are many cliffs in the west of the Bataan Peninsula, and it is impossible to advance along the road like the east coast, but the coastline in this area is concave, making it difficult to deploy defenses, and it is convenient for landing and sneak attacks.According to Honma's deployment, the 16th Division will take extraordinary measures to transport small troops to the coastline, and then land from the side of the US-Philippines. This extraordinary measure is really extraordinary, because it was a temporary move, and there was no ready-made boat. It had to be transshipped from Ling Yain Bay, and it had to avoid the surveillance of US torpedo boats, and secretly transported it in the dark. Similar to smuggling by sea.

On the evening of January 22, 1942, the Hengguang Brigade belonging to the 16th Division was ordered to head towards Cape Kaibobo on the west coast in a boat. When the Japanese commander looked at the map and fought, he only noticed the concave feature of the coastline of the Bataan Peninsula, but the map is a map, and the scene is a scene. There are many things that you just bring a microscope over, and the map still can’t tell you the answer.For example, the coastline on the west coast of the Bataan Peninsula is actually all covered by the dark mountains behind it, which is very difficult to identify.Even in the daytime, it is not easy for an experienced navigator to operate with a chart, and it is not easy to find the headland.

Where is Cape Kebobo?In order to find such a headland, the Hengguang team turned one head into two heads.The sea waves were rough and high, and the Japanese soldiers on the boats raised their hearts to their throats. It is right to be worried, but the biggest threat to them is not the waves, but the torpedo boats of the US military.Seeing these guys flopping about in the waves, the torpedo boat immediately launched an attack, and the two small boats of the Japanese army were sunk one after another.After being attacked, the Hengda team no longer cared about identifying the Cape Capo, and hurriedly chose to land.

There was no defensive force on the landing point, so the Evergrande team marched forward boldly.As they walked, they came across a police team and a naval brigade who were on patrol. This encounter was like a nightmare for the Japanese army.A Japanese soldier wrote in his diary: "We met American death squads in yellow uniforms, they are like tigers and wolves..." As soon as the death squads like tigers and wolves entered the battlefield, they neither begged for mercy nor forgave others. The Japanese army was killed and retreated to the original landing point. In the end, only 34 Japanese soldiers escaped in small boats.

Knowing that the Hengda team was in trouble, the 16th Division rushed to help. On the night of January 26, 1942, a brigade was ordered to land again, and the scheduled landing site was Cape Canas. What Cape Capopo and Cape Canas look similar, and it is difficult to distinguish them in the dark. In the end, we had to estimate the time required for sailing and grab the beach according to this time.However, the speed of the tide varies from time to time and is constantly changing, so the Japanese army's estimation of time is not reliable.As a result, the landing point was wrong again this time, and after logging in wrongly, it was still tantamount to throwing oneself into a trap.

As the old saying goes, too many ships do not hinder the port, and too many cars do not hinder the road.But for the landing Japanese army, this was not the case at all.They basically died in the last few batches. After the Hengguang brigade was wiped out, the second brigade was also wiped out behind the Samat line of defense. From the looks of it, the stubborn and stupid energy of the 16th Division seems to have been fully aroused. Even if the landing troops played like pigs, they could not dispel their idea of ​​continuing to carry out sneak attacks from the coastline. On February 1, 1942, the 16th Division sent troops to land from Cape Canas for the third time. This was an elite unit of the division, the Yoshioka Unit.

In fact, there was no such thing as a sneak attack at this time. Everyone was like a mirror in their hearts. In particular, the Philippine police found an important document from the body of a Japanese officer, which said the content of the reinforcement plan. The U.S.-Philippine military grasped everything first, knowing that the Japanese army would land from Cape Canas.Four U.S. fighter jets arrived as scheduled, and the artillery along the coast did not just watch the show. The Yoshioka Wing, which was about to land, was beaten so hard that its entire face almost fell into the sea. At this time, it is difficult to escape even if you want to.Due to the large loss of boats and boats, most of them could not continue to sail in the sea, so the Yoshioka United had to find a cape where the defenders could not be seen for a temporary landing.

However, they failed to escape the eyes of the Navy Brigade after all.The naval brigade did not block from the front this time. They imitated the Japanese and outflanked from behind. On February 8, 1942, the naval brigade made a tactical landing, forcing the Yoshioka United into the jungle. Seeing that the sky is far away and the earth is close, it is impossible to think about plagiarizing the flanks of the defense line at this time.Fortunately, the U.S. and Filipino troops did not pursue closely, and those who don't take care of the sky and the earth here are happy. The happy feeling only lasted for a few minutes, and after a few minutes, the Yoshioka United team would suffer.Due to the lack of supplies, their situation can be directly compared with the Wuzhi detachment that reinforced the 65th Brigade.

The 16th Division retreated in the face of difficulties, never daring to do business at a loss.The division commander ordered the Yoshioka Regiment to withdraw from the land, but the Yoshioka Regiment could not receive the order as the telegram connection had been cut off. The head of the 16th Division had no choice but to send messengers to deliver the news.Ten days later, a messenger found the Yoshioka Regiment.At this time, the Yoshioka Regiment was still surrounded by the U.S. and Filipino troops in the jungle. They had no food to eat and were already eating bark to satisfy their hunger. More than a hundred seriously injured members of the Regiment were dying.

At this time, the Yoshioka United team was completely reduced to a trapped beast waiting to be slaughtered, and more than half of their lives belonged to the Yan family.After receiving the order to retreat, the remnants of the regiment finally saw a glimmer of hope for survival. They broke through the barrier desperately, managed to escape from the encirclement, and fled back to the rear headquarters of the 16th Division in embarrassment. When they went out, they shouted that they wanted to kill more people, but after they went out, they were killed by others and turned their backs.The surviving Japanese soldiers had lingering fears, and decided that to break through the Bataan Peninsula, bushido and meat bullets alone would never work.

In the anti-landing battle on the west coast, as many as 500 people were killed by the US-Philippines, most of whom were members of the police force and naval brigade.They are a group of real warriors, lone wolves who died generously. Even if they were injured and fell down, they still had contempt for the enemy at the corners of their mouths and held bloody long knives in their hands. MacArthur participated in the burial ceremony of the soldiers. He said: "Every one of you is dirty, you have lice, and you smell bad, but I love you!" The dizziness of the landing troops of the 16th Division seemed to have spread to the 65th Brigade, which was attacking from the front.The 65th Brigade dug foxholes frantically in front of the barbed wire during the day, preparing to launch a "Long Live Assault" at dusk according to the old method.They thought that the U.S.-Philippines army was already in a state of fleeing for their lives after retreating from Nadi, and it would be difficult for them to withstand such a massive locust-like charge. From Honma to Nara, no one knew that MacArthur had a stronger line of defense behind the Nadi line.Mai Shuai said that Samat's line of defense was impenetrable, and he was not just boasting. The strength of this line of defense was exactly twice that of Nadi's line of defense. Unaware that there was such a line of defense, the Japanese army mistakenly regarded the main defensive position as an outpost position, and swarmed towards it.That's all right now, people are worrying that you won't come, so the machine gun will sweep. When shouting "Long Live", bayonets and slogans are all indispensable, and after shouting, there is no need for anything. When I saw it early in the morning, there were about 100 corpses of Japanese soldiers lying in front of the main defensive position. The loss was minimal.Nara's eclipse, I don't know how to calculate it. Nara lost his eyes until his eyes were red.What are you afraid of if a hundred people die, anyway, there are people who have not lived in this life, and they will die in the "Long Live Assault". On February 8, 1942, he was preparing to launch another attack and had given orders to the wing commanders, but that afternoon, Honma suddenly called him and said to him: "Don't call!"
