Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Because when the telegram was received, it was the critical moment for the troops on the east bank to attack. When Jiang Haoran heard that they were safe, he immediately felt relieved and didn't think much about it. Now that the situation has stabilized, Jiang Haoran immediately thought of this incident. .

Huang Jie replied: "Brother You Qing and I had doubts about this before, but we felt that the East Bank and Lashio are two different things. The Japanese army may not really know our intentions completely. Look, although the Japanese army seems to be prepared, but the preparation is not very sufficient, otherwise we will pay a higher price. Therefore, brother You Qing and I feel that there are still doubts about the leak of intelligence, and Liu Xianwei is in Lashio. It’s a good indication that it’s going well.”

Jiang Haoran rubbed his chin subconsciously, as if he felt that there was some truth to it, and at the same time, he also desperately hoped that the fact that the information leaked was not true, so he was also willing to accept this reasoning subjectively.But he didn't realize that Liu Xianwei and the others were stepping into the enemy's trap, and the airborne brigade would face an unprecedented test, which was far more tragic and cruel than the Battle of Biandan Mountain back then.

In the remaining time, Jiang Haoran commanded the troops on the east bank to launch two attacks on the enemy's defense line with the fire support of the armed helicopters, expanding the occupied area to fully meet the deployment of the bridge-building work.

At the same time, a large number of technical troops have arrived on the east bank, thirteen large gallows machines have been erected, helicopters have begun to drag ropes across the river, and the work of building bridges is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the evening, Liu Xianwei sent a telegram again, reporting that they had successfully advanced to the edge of Lashio and would launch an attack on the city immediately. At the same time, he informed that this was their last report and that the electronic interference equipment would be put into use immediately.

Jiang Haoran held the telegram and frowned deeply. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Isn't there a regiment of Japanese troops stationed in Lashio?How could it be possible to advance to the urban area so quickly? Could it be that the Japanese army is so vulnerable?

Jiang Haoran's expression suddenly turned serious, and he shouted: "Hurry up, call back and order Liu Xianwei to retreat immediately and not enter the city."

"Boss, is there something wrong?" Luo Zhuoying asked suspiciously.

Jiang Haoran said: "It is impossible for the Japanese army to be so vulnerable. They deliberately let them enter the city, because the Japanese army knew that the airborne brigade's field combat capabilities are too strong, and they have no possibility of winning in the jungle and in the wild. They also have to pay a huge price in casualties, they want to close the door and beat the dogs."

"Hiss!" Huang Jie gasped, and immediately felt that Jiang Haoran's analysis made sense, "I'm afraid it's too late, they have already activated the electronic interference equipment."

Sure enough, Huang Jie's words were verified, and the signal soldier reported that the airborne brigade's radio station could no longer be contacted.

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Haoran waved his fist in the air, and cursed bitterly: "Damn it, this Liu Xianwei is a pig, didn't he see such an obvious trap?"

No wonder Jiang Haoran was impatient. Lashio was the key to the entire campaign. If the Japanese army’s retreat route and their logistics supplies could not be cut off, the entire Eastern Front would be struggling. Even occupying Ruigu would be pointless.

Seeing Jiang Haoran's excitement, Huang Jie hurriedly comforted him: "President, don't worry, Xianwei's tactical level is definitely higher among the senior officers of the expeditionary army. He must have his reasons for doing this. I think you were able to Entrusting such an important task to him must be due to his ability, so we should have confidence in him."

Huang Jie's words made Jiang Haoran look a lot better. Indeed, he should have confidence in Liu Xianwei. Jiang Haoran still understands this general he personally cultivated. He has rich practical experience, excellent theoretical knowledge, and his tactical level is just as Huang Jie said. In other words, he is definitely the top-notch senior general of the expeditionary army. Even apart from Liu Xianwei, Jiang Haoran can't think of anyone who can take on this important task.

Radio jamming equipment is also a double-edged sword. Although it can make the Japanese army deaf and blind, they also suffer from it.Apart from trusting Liu Xianwei, all he could do was wait for nine o'clock tomorrow morning.According to the plan, they will turn off the electronic jamming equipment for a short time at nine o'clock and restore the radio function. After confirming the area, Jiang Haoran will also send [-] armed helicopters to Lashio and hand them over to Liu Xianwei to command.

At night, Lashio.

Lashio is an important town in northern Myanmar. Mandalay is 230 kilometers to the south, and Wanding is 120 kilometers to the north.Lashio is not only the terminus of the Yangon Central Railway, but also the terminus of the China-Myanmar Highway. The importance of its strategic location is self-evident.In the first half of the year, it was the Japanese army’s surprise attack on Lashio, which seized the expeditionary army’s logistics warehouse and cut off the expeditionary army’s retreat, which led to the desperate situation of the expeditionary army. After half a year, Jiang Haoran was dealing with the Japanese army in the same way.

At the same time, because Lashio is close to the China-Myanmar border, 80.00% of the residents living there are Chinese or overseas Chinese.

To the south, in a small forest less than a mile away from Lashio City, Liu Xianwei was pacing back and forth in the rain, looking at the watch on his wrist, and looking at the city that started to light up not far away, full of oil paint and water droplets There was no expression on his face, but the anxious eyes were full of anxiety.

Half an hour ago, they had advanced here, except for being blocked by about a brigade of the Japanese army halfway, they were almost unimpeded along the way, and the Japanese army was almost defeated at the touch of a finger.I originally thought that the Japanese army knew that they were good at field combat, and deliberately let them enter the city for street fighting by making use of their strengths and circumventing their weaknesses. As simple as that, he had thrown a regiment into the city, but so far hadn't heard a single shot.

Because the electronic jamming equipment was activated, the walkie-talkie and radio had been disabled, and he had to wait for the front troops to send back a message to know what happened.

The passing of minutes and seconds made people very anxious, and the torrential rain made people even more irritable.

"Come back, someone is back!"

A sudden exclamation made Liu Xianwei step out of the woods in a few steps, and saw a figure running wildly in the twilight rain, with water splashing under his feet. It can be seen that it is undoubtedly my own.

Soon, a messenger ran up to him, and the news he brought back shocked him. The second regiment had searched the entire Lashio, and found no Japanese army or any other resistance force. The company sent to contact Aung San People have also been shut down, and Lashio is a completely empty city. Moreover, the material warehouse mentioned in the intelligence is also empty. There is not a grain of grain or a bullet in it, and the oil depot is also empty.
