Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Moreover, the No.18 Division of the Japanese Army also has a well-known title-the king of the subtropical jungle.

As early as the beginning of the Japanese army's plan to go south, the No. 18 Division began brutal jungle combat training. After the Southeast Asian campaign began, the No. 18 Division head drove thousands of miles, and at the cost of less than one-tenth of the casualties, he fought heroically. The army threw away their helmets and armor, showing their tenacious and tenacious fighting style. Even Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Renya, who was the commander of the division, rushed to the front line in person and was killed by a British bullet in his right hand. Injured, but he only slung his right arm with a bandage and continued to command the battle.

As a rising infantry division, the No.18 division has actually performed as well as the veterans in combat, and has even surpassed the highly mechanized guard division. With their record, they have won the honor of the jungle warfare professional division. In fact, it is well deserved.

Moreover, the soldiers of this army are young and full of animal nature. After successfully occupying Singapore, they burned, killed, looted and looted all the way, leaving the whole Singapore covered with corpses and blood flowing into rivers.They even used terror and cruel means to intimidate the potential will to resist, and carried out crazy revenge on the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia who supported China's war of resistance. A large number of overseas Chinese in Singapore were brutally tortured and killed. The heads of overseas Chinese hang everywhere.

In history, this army committed heinous crimes against Chinese soldiers. It was they who killed more than 6 expeditionary soldiers in the primitive jungle of the Savage Mountain in Myanmar.The beast soldiers captured the female soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and opened their rounds on the spot, then cut their breasts, disemboweled them, and cut them open to death. They used all kinds of cruel methods.

Such a notorious army, let alone the British army with low combat effectiveness, I am afraid that only the special warfare division in the Chinese army can compete with them now, but the special warfare division is still far away in Baoshan, and of course it is impossible to send all of them to Burma. Some [-] airborne troops are not enough to fight against a division of the Japanese army.

Apart from the two British divisions, the troops that Jiang Haoran can mobilize now are only these [-] airborne troops at most, but this is like a drop in the bucket.

The sudden change caught Jiang Haoran by surprise. If the predicament in front of him was not resolved, even if Meng Gong and Xidang blocked the enemy's attack, or regained the air supremacy, but the rear was intercepted, everything became illusory again. Still safely entered the encirclement of the Japanese army, food, weapons and ammunition will soon be in a hurry. Although the helicopters have been shuttled back and forth between Yingdo and the Indian border in the past few nights, the amount of supplies transported is not small, but It can't stand the consumption of tens of thousands of troops, and basically has to rely on the old foundation of the army every day. Once Homalin falls, the food of the expeditionary army may last for three to five days, but the ammunition may be exhausted in two days. Disaster is not too much.Therefore, Jiang Haoran became like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, wandering around the map and the war sand table, but from the afternoon to the evening, he still did not find a solution.

For one afternoon, Jiang Haoran never left his hands, pacing back and forth in the headquarters, the expression on his face was as cold as a piece of ice that could not be melted away for a thousand years, making everyone silent, and they went in and out cautiously.The headquarters was filled with smoke, and the atmosphere was so dull that it was a little breathless.And Leng Rushuang, who has always dared to speak, knows that Jiang Haoran has already started a battle between heaven and man, and he dare not interrupt his thinking at all.

In Myanmar at the end of April, the weather is still mainly sunny and hot, and the sunshine time is longer than that in China. The light outside is still sufficient after seven o’clock, but the light in the headquarters has begun to dim. The staff members began to close the curtains and prepare to turn on the lights. .The security of the headquarters is especially important. Although there may be no enemy planes investigating at night, no one can be sure that there are no hidden Japanese spies in the city. The brightly lit place will undoubtedly attract people's imagination.

The staff officer closed all the curtains and turned on the light with a "snap", but Jiang Haoran suddenly screamed and shouted: "Close it, turn off the light for me!"

The staff officer was at a loss, but he quickly turned off the light according to Jiang Haoran's instructions. Everyone's eyes were on Jiang Haoran, not knowing what happened.

Jiang Haoran's eyes seemed to suddenly come alive, and he glanced around the room, causing everyone to follow him and turn their necks, but everyone looked dazed, apparently not knowing what was wrong in the room.

The setting sun shone in through the curtains, making the room appear half-lit and half-dark, and people could be seen clearly, but it was still a bit difficult to tell who it was. There were many people in the headquarters, including Jiang Haoran, Many people still had a cigarette in their hands. When the curtains were drawn, the smoke that could not be dispersed drifted away, making the people who could not see clearly appear more hazy. The illusion of the jungle, everyone turns into big trees, psychedelic and weird.

Suddenly there was a loud bang, Jiang Haoran slammed the table, scaring everyone's souls out, and then he heard Jiang Haoran exclaimed: "Yes, that's it, the shit is playing infiltration with me, Why didn't I reverse osmosis with him? Turn on the light??????"

When the light was turned on, the room was instantly illuminated like daylight. Jiang Haoran was in high spirits, and walked towards the battle sand table excitedly. Under the eyes of everyone, he picked up the measuring tool and carefully measured the distance between Yingduo and Gengwan River. Perform measurement comparisons.

It took a while before Jiang Haoran put down the tools in his hand and ordered the guards to bring Sun Biren and the two guides in.

During the waiting time, Huang Jie finally couldn't hold back, and asked: "Boss, do you already have an idea?"

Jiang Haoran smiled slightly, noncommittal, and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Not long after, Sun Biren walked in again with two guides, and Jiang Haoran directly waved for them to approach the battle sand table.

Without waiting for the three of them to stand still, Jiang Haoran pointed at the sand table and said, "Magistrate Sun, ask them if there is a road from Yingduo through the jungle to Geng's Wanhe River?"

Since there are roads from Xidang and Homalin, Jiang Haoran believes that it is impossible that Yingduo does not have a road to Wanhe River.From the map and the sand table, the jungle in front of me is an irregular rectangle. The distance from Xidang to Homalin is more than 200 miles, but the distance from Yingdo to Wanjiang in Geng is only seventy or eighty miles. If there is a road It is possible to realize the combat plan in your heart by allowing the troops to quickly pass through this jungle.

Soon, the guide gave the answer, the way, yes.However, from Yingduo to Wanjiang in Geng, you have to cross the Wild Elephant Valley, and most of the roads are walked by wild elephants. Most people dare not take this road at all.

Elephants are the largest terrestrial mammals on earth. An elephant can weigh up to 3-7 tons. Its huge size is enough to keep any ferocious beasts at bay.Therefore, elephants are basically not afraid of ferocious beasts such as tigers, lions, and cheetahs, which can be described as extremely brave.For humans, although wild elephants are wary and will not take the initiative to attack, once they step into its territory, they feel threatened and launch a frenzied attack. It is quite terrifying.

Therefore, even though the guide told Jiang Haoran that there is a way to go, he reminded Jiang Haoran not to try to take this path unless it is absolutely necessary.

But Jiang Haoran has now reached the point of last resort, the guide's words are of course meaningless, not only in vain, Jiang Haoran also sincerely asked two of the Burmese to act as their guides, and promised a high commission that they could not refuse.

After Jiang Haoran arrived in Yingdo, he won the support of the Burmese with practical actions. The daily porridge was not for nothing. In addition, the expeditionary army was strictly disciplined, and there was basically no disturbance to the people. The soldiers and the people can get along peacefully. He also reciprocated, and took the initiative to help the troops transport and consolidate fortifications.

Seeing Jiang Haoran's insistence, the two Burmese people had no choice but to agree. Of course, the big reason was because of the colorful dollars.

When the three left, Jiang Haoran immediately ordered the 22nd Division and the Airborne Brigade to switch defenses. The Airborne Brigade immediately left for Yingduo. Jiang Haoran also specially ordered Liu Xianwei to arrive within two hours, otherwise the military law will be imposed.

The distance from Xiqian to Yingduo is only 200 miles. Although it is night, it is nothing to these evildoers of the special warfare division. It is because they have to withdraw from the front and must temporarily hand over the defense to the first [-] divisions, which will take a lot of time.

Because the Japanese planes could not be dispatched at night, they feared that Jiang Haoran would resort to armed helicopters, so for two days, the Japanese army did not take action at night, and Jiang Haoran did not dare to take the initiative to launch an attack when the enemy's situation was unknown. It's complicated, losing a helicopter is a small matter, but it is a nightmare to let the enemy get a helicopter with all their tails.

After finishing all this work, Jiang Haoran finally revealed his plan.

The brief darkness just stimulated his nerves, giving him the idea of ​​using the complex terrain and the Japanese army to carry out anti-encirclement and anti-infiltration.The specific plan is to use the airborne brigade to cross from Yingdo and go directly to the Wanjiang River in Gengdi, where the Japanese army's second bridge was built.

No matter how fast the Japanese army is, it is absolutely impossible to complete the second crossing of the river within four days. The airborne brigade blew up the pontoon bridge built by the Japanese army with thunderous momentum, directly cutting off the Japanese army's way forward, cutting off the head and tail. Then another surprise soldier was sent to enter from Homalin, interspersed into this area, and the two troops strangled the forward troops of the Japanese army with all their strength, and blocked the Japanese army on the other side of the Wanjiang River.

As soon as the plan came out, the entire command was in an uproar. They did not doubt the combat capability of the airborne brigade, but they wanted a 6000-strong force to cut off the advance of a division of the Japanese army and annihilate their vanguard to stop their crazy attack. attack?In their view, this plan is not only crazy, but also incredible.
