Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Because of the leak of intelligence, the battle on the east coast did not go smoothly. Lashio’s airborne brigade was almost surrounded by the enemy. The five divisions that had crossed the river fought against the Japanese 20th Division and the No. It became a stalemate, and the new 38th Division, which was going to support Lashio, is still blocked by the Japanese army in Ruigu, unable to move an inch.

If this situation persists, the airborne brigade may have only one way to break through, risking a huge risk to cut off the Japanese army's logistics channel, and I am afraid it will have to hand it back to the Japanese army.

After losing the opportunity, the Japanese army fortified everywhere and walked in front of the expeditionary army step by step, making every step of the troops very difficult and extremely dangerous, which also made Jiang Haoran and the others anxious and worried all the way. After solving a danger, the next step Immediately another danger came, each more dangerous than the last.

Now that there is another situation in Songshan, Jiang Haoran suddenly has an illusion that he is not surrounded by the Japanese army, but that he is jumping step by step into the trap carefully arranged by the Japanese army, and he is the one who is surrounded.

Historically, due to the existence of the Songshan Fortress, the counterattack of Yunnan and Burma lasted for four months, and Songshan alone lasted nearly three months.

Moreover, at that time, the Chinese army invested [-] divisions, which was almost the same as it is now, but the Japanese army had only one division—the sixth division. Now, the Chinese army has not increased, but the Japanese army has increased the fifth division and the fourth division. There are two divisions in the division, and the strength is three times that of the history.

Jiang Haoran originally thought that with the three elite divisions of his No.40 Army, including the elite special warfare division, plus superior weapons, he could tear through Songshan's defense line as soon as possible and join the expeditionary army , as long as the two armies meet, no matter which direction the Japanese army is dealing with, Jiang Haoran will have the confidence.

But now, the battle situation in Songshan makes him worry. Chu Zhongtian, Su Peng, and Liu Dakun are all the most capable people under his command, and their troops are also the most capable troops. It's not that there is no other way Under the circumstances, they would not ask themselves for tactical guidance, and the frontal attack on the first day, the casualties were close to [-], and they did not see the number of enemies wiped out, which also made Jiang Haoran feel the cruelty and difficulty of the battle.

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Haoran finally changed his posture, gritted his teeth, and said: "Order Su Peng and Liu Dakun to stop the frontal attack, carry out soil work on the mountainside, dig under the enemy's bunker, and blow up the entire Gunlongpo !"

Historically, Gunlongpo was the most arduous battle in the entire Songshan Battle, and this method was used to capture Gunlongpo at that time. As for the rear positions, if it can be done in the same way, it can be done in the same way. If it doesn't work, it can only be attacked all the way.

"Earthwork? How long will it take to conquer Songshan?" Huang Jie exclaimed immediately.

"It's hard to say, maybe ten days and a half a month, maybe a month or two."

"ah?????"

Huang Jie and Luo Zhuoying opened their mouths wide open, unable to close them at all. They both knew what time meant to the expeditionary army. Once the western Yunnan troops could not come in as scheduled, the expeditionary army would immediately become extremely dangerous and bear the brunt of it. It would be the five divisions that had just crossed the river and the airborne brigade from Lashio.

According to Jiang Haoran, the western Yunnan troops are no longer on schedule, but far away.The troops on the east coast have suffered heavy casualties, especially the most elite airborne brigade, with more than half of the casualties, and the biggest casualties came from the air force. In the two days of air battles alone, the Chinese and American coalition air teams have tried their best. Tomorrow, whether the steel cable bridge in front of us can be kept is a problem. Once the bridge is destroyed, the five divisions and airborne brigades on the east bank will become lone troops, and they will be lone troops with no rescuers after going to the food and grass.

At that time, I am afraid that even if India’s Qingyi Army goes to Burma, it will not help the matter. The reason is very simple. Your expeditionary army can increase troops, and the Japanese army can also increase their troops. Moreover, there is no limit to the Japanese army’s increase in troops, and the expeditionary army can still increase their troops. Transfer the remaining five divisions of the 41st Army.

Moreover, compared with the expeditionary force, the Japanese army was faster and more convenient. A naval transport ship made a trip, not to mention the mainland of the island country, and the Kwantung Army could pull it over.

Jiang Haoran ignored their shock, and continued to order Mei Xiangcao to draft a telegram, suggesting that the First Group Army attacking Longling and the No.70 First Army attacking Tengchong suspend the attack and launch defenses on the spot. preparation.

Because the attack on Songshan was hindered, the logistics in the direction of Tengchong and Longling could only be transported by crossing the mountains from Baoshan, and then crossing the Nujiang River. Such a logistics channel would not be able to sustain a large-scale battle. If the friendly troops on the left and right flanks join in, the subsequent offensive in western Yunnan will come to naught, and the way out for the expeditionary force will be even more dangerous.

After these two telegrams, Huang Jie and Luo Zhuoying's faces turned pale. Is this the rhythm of this battle?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Haoran smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is still a battle to be fought, and we will fight with the Japanese army for logistics!"

Huang Jie asked anxiously: "Fight logistics? How? I don't think this bridge over the Inovaddy River can last for a long time. Once this bridge is gone, don't tell me that the troops of the five divisions on the other side, The logistics will be transported by helicopter?"

"Hehe, Brother Dayun and Brother Youqing, even if we don't have this bridge, don't forget, the logistics warehouse of the little devil is still in our hands, so we don't have to worry about food and clothing, and the helicopter only needs to transport it to the east bank. Ammunition is enough, can the little devil beat us?"

Luo Zhuoying said: "But the situation in Lashio is not good. The Ruigu defense line can't be pierced, and the reinforcements can't get through. The airborne brigade is completely surrounded by the Japanese army. Right now, when the Japanese army's guard division is in place, the Japanese army may crush the whole line. Press it up, and we still have an unknown threat."

Jiang Haoran wondered, "What threat?"

"Up to now, there is no accurate information on whether the Japanese First Guards Division is heading east or west. It is just our guess that the division of troops into two groups is just our guess. , I'm afraid it will be difficult to break out?"

Jiang Haoran's expression froze, he gestured his fingers in the air, and said anxiously: "Yes, yes, brother You Qing should be cautious about this issue, I think Su Canwen should have news coming back soon, and he should be able to see some clues .”

As soon as Jiang Haoran's words fell, cheers came from the headquarters outside. Immediately, a staff officer knocked on the door of the office and came in to report that the Snow Wolf Special Forces had just blown up four or fifty miles away from Mandalay. All ten troop carriages of a Japanese train were blown up, destroying a mile-long railway without any casualties.
