Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

The armor of the armed helicopters was adequate for light and heavy machine guns, but it was not satisfactory for anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. In less than 10 minutes, more than half of the helicopters were shot down and crashed by the Japanese army, and the rest had to flee the battlefield quickly.

But it was these 10 minutes of effective attack that caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army. The first round of carpet bombing caused nearly half of the Japanese infantry, and more than a dozen of the more than [-] tanks were destroyed, and the rest fled the battlefield in a hurry.

A large number of casualties made it impossible for the Japanese army to organize an effective offensive. The troops retreated across the board and retreated to the south bank of the Nandu River within ten minutes.

As the sun sets, the fiery red sun will try its best to sprinkle the last ray of light on the earth, covering all objects on the earth with a golden halo, so there will be some dreamy colors in the world, making everything change. not so real.

If it weren't for the thick smoke billowing on the battlefield, the wreckage of the tanks and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers still crackling and burning, if the air was not still full of the smell of gunpowder smoke, blood and various mixed gases, in this beautiful dusk, no one would I can't believe that a horrific killing has just ended,

Lashio Cave, temporary headquarters of the Expeditionary Force.

Jiang Haoran sat on the chair with a tired face, rubbing his right hand on his forehead, and the combat uniform on his body was covered with white sweat stains, it seemed that he was not having a relaxing day.

Chief of Staff Wu Chaowen was holding a stack of thick documents, and was reporting to him the battle situation and damage for several days in detail.

In today's battle, the Expeditionary Army suffered heavy casualties, with a loss of more than 1000 troops. The casualties were mainly the troops on the southern front, of which the New 38th Division accounted for more than half, with more than 1000 casualties. The 301st Division of the First Army added more than 1000 soldiers, a total of nearly 28 soldiers, and now only about 2 are left, and then the [-]th Division, the whole division plus the Qingyi Army is nearly [-] people, and now there are only about [-] soldiers left. There were [-] remaining, and the casualties of the remaining divisions were not very large, only about [-]. This was due to the shortage of ammunition for the Japanese troops on the western and northern fronts, and they did not have strong artillery support. It did not take advantage of the expeditionary force.

Jiang Haoran used more than 20 Qiwushan guns and more than 20 tanks captured against them. These weapons could not be used against the First Division of the Japanese Guards, but they were just right for bullying Tada Hayabe.

Of the 300 armed helicopters, there are 110 five left, and one hundred transport helicopters are intact.

Ammunition and supplies are sufficient, even if there is another battle like today's, there will be no problem.

After closing the folder, Wu Chaowen looked at Jiang Haoran and waited for the next instruction.

Jiang Haoran didn't seem to notice that Wu Chaowen had finished his report. It took him a long time to come to his senses, changed his sitting position, and asked, "How about the casualties of the Japanese army?"

Wu Chaowen said: "It is impossible to count the specifics. The casualties on the western and northern fronts are not much different from ours. We may still have a slight advantage, but on the southern front, the Japanese 2st Guards Division has invested three infantry regiments today. The team is estimated to have more than 4000 people, and only [-] people fled back, and the casualties should be more than [-], which is smaller than our casualties, not including our helicopter casualties."

Jiang Haoran subconsciously picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, took out one and lit it on his own, took two puffs, and seemed to mutter: "So the Japanese First Guards Division will not be able to organize a large number of people in a short period of time." A large-scale attack?"

"In theory, it should be. Although the Japanese First Guards Division has a strength of more than 5, it is also a four-unit system. It has two brigades and four regiments under its jurisdiction. Today, one guy disabled three of their regiments. , I am afraid that the remaining multi-link team will not be able to do anything for the time being."

After Wu Chaowen finished speaking, Jiang Haoran seemed to be distracted again, and he didn't respond for a long time. Wu Chaowen asked tentatively: "Why, Chief, do you want to attack the First Division of the Japanese Guards?"

The corners of Jiang Haoran's mouth turned up, showing an evil smile, and said: "Today, I have suffered a lot, and I have to find a place to come back."

Wu Chaowen immediately showed joy, and said, "Boss, I think it's okay. They also suffered heavy casualties today. It is absolutely unexpected that we dare to attack them. We must be lax in our defenses."

Jiang Haoran looked at Wu Chaowen with a half-smile, and said, "Tell me, how do you do it?"

Wu Chaowen thought for a while, and said: "It is definitely not possible to attack directly from the front. Their anti-aircraft firepower is too strong. In my opinion, they also used the tactic of surprise attacking the Japanese heavy artillery brigade. A team of troops was parachuted to their right flank by transport helicopter. With the fire support of an armed helicopter, tearing apart their defense line from the flanks, and attacking from the front with the most powerful airborne brigade and the Predator Independence Regiment, they will surely be able to catch them off guard, kill them in large numbers, and then use the advantage of the helicopter to retreat completely. They don't have the ability to completely wipe them out, but it's no problem to wipe out their effective forces. Their attack today has cost nearly [-] casualties, and there is only one regiment with complete infantry strength. If we destroy this regiment again, the remaining There are only technical and logistical units left, and the First Guards Division has become a paper tiger. If we don’t replenish our troops, we may no longer be able to organize an effective attack.”

Jiang Haoran smiled but did not answer, and smoked slowly with his hands folded in front of his chest, which made Wu Chaowen inexplicably nervous, "What's the matter, Chief, did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Haoran smiled and said: "The tactics are available, but they have found the wrong target. Judging from Nishimura's thought of moving the artillery position and organizing such a grand attack today, this guy is by no means simple. He will definitely guard against our sneak attack. Maybe they will shoot down the helicopter before it lands, as you saw this afternoon, the Japanese army’s anti-aircraft firepower is not weak, we simply can’t take the risk now.”

Wu Chaowen looked puzzled, "Then what do you mean??????"

"If you want to fight, hit the northern line!" Jiang Haoran threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and said bitterly.

"Northern line? The Eighth Division of the Japanese Army?" Wu Chaowen exclaimed.

"Yes, it is the Eighth Division!"

"why?"

"Hehe, this is very simple. Our biggest threat at present is of course the First Guards Division on the southern front. The Japanese army also knows this. We can rest easy if we solve them. Therefore, it is inevitable for them to be careful. And The western line leads to the Inovaddy River. The Japanese army never wants us to open up this channel again, and then go to Lashio to increase troops or break out of the siege, so it must be heavily defended. Only the northern line, although it leads to western Yunnan road, but there are three divisions behind them, no fool would go here, so the defense must be the weakest, if you want to fight, you can only fight them."
