In the evening, the observation post near the headquarters of the Hukang Valley Expeditionary Force.

Jiang Haoran held up his binoculars and was observing the movement of the Japanese army down the mountain.

Because the Japanese army could not defend Mina, and there was no news of Japanese attacking in the Hukang River Valley, which was beyond his expectation, Jiang Haoran was worried and hurried back from Mina.Considering that the Japanese army did not attack, only three transport helicopters returned with them, carrying a 12-member team led by Snow Wolf Special Forces Jiang Shi, and of course Leng Rushuang and the Mei family sisters.

Helicopters can land at will, and the distance from Hukang River Valley to Mina is only a hundred miles away. Under the condition of complete control of the air, Jiang Haoran can travel between the two places at any time.

"Chief of Staff, something is wrong!" Putting down the binoculars, Jiang Haoran yelled at Huang Jie.

Huang Jie looked nervous and said, "What's wrong, the Japanese army hasn't changed much at all?"

Jiang Haoran said: "It's because there is no change that something is wrong. The Japanese army's two tank trenches and four infantry trenches are almost dug through, but the troops can't see any signs of attack."

Huang Jie also raised his binoculars for a closer look, and wondered, "Hey, the Japanese army didn't increase their troops to the front, and the tanks didn't intend to cross the river. They really didn't intend to attack. Could it be that the Japanese army didn't plan to attack?"

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the Japanese army to know that there are still [-] helicopters hidden in the Hukang Valley. After the [-] helicopters that showed up left the Hukang Valley, the Japanese army should take this opportunity to attack aggressively. An attack should be launched. It is obviously a waste of time to dig trenches. Although the artillery fire is powerful, it is not at the same level as the threat of the helicopter. It is impossible for the Japanese army to understand, unless they have no plans to attack the Hukang Valley.

But this is not in line with the current situation of the Japanese army. At this time, Luo Zhuoying's Fifth Army has already left Mengguan for dozens of miles. According to the plan, they no longer need to hide. In fact, such a long distance, if they want to safely avoid the Japanese army Eyes and ears are already very difficult, and at this time, the British army is also on the way to Homalin. Even if the Fifth Army can continue to be invisible, the British army may not have this ability.Therefore, the troops at this time have entered the stage of advancing at full speed. It is impossible for the Japanese army to find their traces. Once the marching direction of the Fifth Army is exposed, the plan to attack Yingdo can hardly be hidden. Yingdo will soon face the expeditionary force. The only thing the Japanese army can do is to find a way from Mina and the Hukang River Valley, and only by breaking one of its wings can it be possible to solve the crisis of Yingduo. In other words, the Japanese army has no time to wait at all, so, at this time His uncharacteristic behavior immediately aroused Jiang Haoran's vigilance.

Jiang Haoran's expression froze, and he said anxiously: "Ru Shuang, send a report to the Fifth Army, Meng Gong, and Mina immediately, and see if there is any unusual initiative from them?"

Leng Rushuang left in a hurry, but Huang Jie frowned and asked, "Boss, do you feel that the strategic focus of the Japanese army has shifted?"

Jiang Haoran nodded and shook his head from time to time, which made Huang Jie confused, but seeing his serious face, he seemed to be far away from his thoughts, and he didn't continue to ask, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Soon, Leng Rushuang came back to report that the Fifth Army was advancing at full speed without encountering any resistance on the road. They would definitely arrive at Homalin in the early hours of tomorrow and launch an attack.Meng Gong also did not notice any movement of the Japanese army. In the direction of Yingduo, Liu Bao had already set up checkpoints tens of miles away, and no Japanese Hanoi ships were found on the Inowady River.Mina has been under the surveillance of several helicopters, and the Japanese troops in the city have no intention of coming out at all.

After listening to Leng Rushuang's report, Jiang Haoran frowned into the word "Chuan", and muttered to himself: "This is fucking weird, what are the Japanese soldiers waiting for? Apart from attacking Hukang River Valley and Mina, don't they Is there a second way to choose?"

Leng Rushuang on the side interjected and said, "Could it be that the Japanese army has found a way to deal with the helicopters, and is now hurrying up to prepare?"

"No way!" Jiang Haoran replied with certainty, "Aside from fighter jets, helicopters are simply fighter jets? Fighter jets? Oh no, the Japanese army is probably waiting for the air force to regain air supremacy!"

Jiang Haoran suddenly screamed, startled Huang Jie, and replied embarrassingly: "This is impossible. Now the US military in the Pacific battlefield has not given up competing with the Japanese army for the Pacific islands. It is impossible for the Japanese navy to deploy all air power When we came to Burma, the Fifth Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army has already been disabled by us. It is impossible for it to recover within three days. To seize the air supremacy, a surprise attack like yesterday’s will not work. You must invest at least more fighter jets than our army A large number of fighter jets fight and strangle for a long time, can the Japanese army do it?"

"Under normal circumstances, it is impossible, but now the Japanese army may not. It is certainly impossible for the Japanese navy to go all out, but the battlefield in Burma is enough to attract the attention of the Japanese army's base camp. It is entirely possible to rebuild the Fifth Army in the short term. Flying regiment, if the Japanese army in the Hukang River Valley is not waiting to regain the air supremacy, there is really no reason for him to stand still." Jiang Haoran said.

"Ah, what should we do now? It's impossible to just wait here for the Japanese plane, right? Leng Rushuang said anxiously.

"No, we must take action. The Hukang Valley campaign can only be abandoned, and we retreat!"

Huang Jie said in shock: "Retreat? As long as we move, the No. 30 Eighth Division of the Japanese Army will immediately chase after us. You must know that the Japanese Army's mobility is much stronger than ours. We have no way to compare with them in terms of speed. If the Japanese army went all out to block it, and we lost the air supremacy, if the advantage of the helicopters disappeared, wouldn’t the two armies be trapped by the Japanese army in the jungle from the Hukang River Valley to Miina?”

Jiang Haoran said: "Before retreating, first deal with the regiment that has passed through the Hukang River Valley, and then send a regiment to guard the valley for one night to stop the Japanese tentatively crossing the river. As long as we can buy us one night, the troops can Converging with Mina's No.60 Sixth Army, the two armies quickly retreated to Menggong. As long as they reached Menggong, the Japanese army's defeat was already certain, and there was no way to recover.

Huang Jie continued: "The Japanese army will not be too stupid. If we attack rashly at this time, he will definitely think that we are going to retreat. Not to mention the tentative attack. The river valley battlefield is a vast open field. Although the sightlines are not good at night, the Japanese army It is completely possible to fire flares on the position, so that it is clear at a glance."

"Yes, what you said makes sense, but we can let the soldiers tie up a straw man from now on, and then put clothes on the straw man, and at night, put the straw man on the position instead of ourselves, from the opposite mountain. The distance to our position is not short, even if they fire flares, it is not a problem to temporarily confuse the Japanese army." Jiang Haoran said.
