It was good news that a large number of Japanese troops were annihilated without bloodshed. No wonder there was cheers outside, and even Huang Jie and Luo Zhuoying, who were still gloomy just now, were all smiling.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Haoran sighed again and again, and only said that Su Canwen was still inexperienced, only ten wagons. This is obviously the vanguard of the Japanese army. If the train in front of him is missed, there must be a large Japanese army behind. meal, ended up eating a lamb skewer.

When the two heard this opinion, they also deeply agreed. Although it was a little unsatisfactory, it was still a great victory, and it was still worthy of joy.

The matter has come to this, of course he had to give up, Jiang Haoran immediately ordered Su Canwen to find a way to find out the specific situation of the Japanese reinforcements.

As soon as the telegram was sent, Stilwell's telegram arrived, informing Jiang Haoran that under his supervision, the Qingyi Army had completed its assembly in the afternoon, and he was arranging vehicles to send him two divisions first, and it was estimated that they would arrive tomorrow evening. To reach Yingduo, he could only mobilize so many vehicles, and the remaining eight divisions could only walk, or after the first two divisions arrived, the vehicles would turn around and pick them up halfway.

Jiang Haoran was overjoyed, thanks to Stilwell's supervision in India, otherwise, with Gu Liantong's reluctance and reluctance, the troops might not have arrived in ten days.

At midnight, Su Canwen sent another telegram. Before receiving Jiang Haoran's telegram, they had already advanced more than ten miles along the railway, using all the remaining c4 to destroy another section of the railway. After receiving Jiang Haoran's telegram, The troops began to weave back and forth again.

As a result, they encountered Japanese troops marching along the railway in the middle of the road, with at least [-] troops, and then they turned to the road. It was even more surprising to find that the troops on the road were no less than those on the railway, and there were also tanks and heavy artillery. , The vehicles transporting materials can't see the tail at all.

After listening to the telegram, everyone in the headquarters stared at each other for a while, and finally Jiang Haoran broke the silence: "It seems that Brother You Qing unfortunately got what he said, and the Japanese First Guards Division all headed to the east. line, and today the entire Japanese army in Xidang has not fired a single shot, just to give us the illusion that we are waiting for reinforcements, and it seems that the little devil's plot has succeeded."

Huang Jie said: "Then what shall we do next, will Lashio still defend?"

Luo Zhuoying quickly replied: "How can we defend? The Japanese Guards First Division has [-] people, and there are independent tank regiments and independent heavy artillery brigades. If the airborne brigade does not withdraw suddenly, there will be no scum left. "

Almost everyone began to nod their heads, thinking that what Luo Zhuoying said made sense, but Lashio was still surrounded by two sides, and it would be very difficult to retreat.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Haoran said grimly: "Defend, must guard!"

Everyone turned pale, and Luo Zhuoying was even more irksome, but Jiang Haoran didn't pay attention to everyone's intentions at all, and ordered his staff to find the regional maps of Xibao and Mandalay, spread them out on the desktop, Take a ruler and measure it.

A few minutes later, Jiang Haoran dropped the measuring tool in his hand, and said loudly: "From Mandalay to Xibao, the highway is 280 highway, and the railway is 240 highway. It is estimated that the railway was damaged by Su Canwen and cannot be repaired in a short time, so The Japanese army began to march along the railway in a hurry. They are currently [-] kilometers away from Mandalay, and the rest of the journey depends on two legs. According to the rapid march speed of the Japanese elite divisions, they can only drive a hundred kilometers a day. Therefore, we There are at least two more days to prepare. Moreover, the special forces are still in the rear, and through them blowing up bridges, roads and setting mines along the way, it is estimated that this time can be extended by one day."

Jiang Haoran paused for a while, and swept his eyes across the audience, but everyone was looking at him eagerly, and no one thought of what he was going to do, so Jiang Haoran had no choice but to say: "We will use this In three days, set up a triangular formation in Lashio, Ruigu, and Xibao, and fight the Japanese army!"

There was an uproar at the command headquarters. This was an absolutely astonishing move. Five divisions and one brigade plus 20 Burmese troops who had just surrendered, and four divisions of the Japanese army, including the 15st Guards Division, which was overstrength, To die, no one knows where Jiang Haoran's confidence comes from, not to mention whether there is a disparity in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, but the difference in military strength is far away. The Eighth and Tenth Divisions of the Japanese Army are common sense divisions. The number of troops is more than [-]. The No.[-] Second Division is a Type B division with a strength of more than [-]. The strength of these three divisions alone is close to [-] (not counting their overstaffing). There are [-] people in the Upper Guards Division, and the strength is at least [-].

Looking at the five divisions of the Expeditionary Army, except for the New 38th Division, which is barely considered a Type A division, with a strength of around 5000, the other four divisions are all Type B divisions, with a strength of 15 or [-], and the total is less than [-]. , [-] airborne troops, half of the casualties have been lost, and only [-] are left. Adding [-] Burmese troops, the total number is only [-]. With this force, it is dead against the [-] Japanese army?If they hadn't misheard, everyone would have thought that Jiang Haoran was crazy.

Seeing that everyone still couldn't understand, Jiang Haoran changed his method, walked to the combat sand table, held the command pole, and ordered the combat staff to prepare for the sand table deduction.

According to his meaning, the troops on the east bank must tear through the Japanese Ruigu's line of defense before dark tomorrow, and the large troops will immediately advance to Lashio.

The two divisions of the First Qing Army who arrived in Yingdo tomorrow afternoon were transferred to the east bank overnight. When the two divisions of the First Qing Army crossed the bridge, the steel cable bridge was immediately demolished to form two battlefields in the east and west. The troops in the east tried their best to penetrate the Japanese Ruigu defense line, and then, except for two divisions sticking behind Ruigu Duan, the rest moved closer to Lashio, and quickly built a fortification on the periphery of Lashio, which was stuck in Lashio like a nail. , no matter what the cost, we must cut off the Japanese army’s logistics channel. As long as we persist for ten days, the six divisions of the Japanese army in northern Burma will immediately face a situation where there is no ammunition, medicine, food, grass and other supplies. break.

As for Yingdo, there are eight divisions of the Fifth Army and the upcoming Qingyi Army, and one division of Myitkyina, plus two British divisions in Homalin, and two Burmese divisions formed two months ago. It is enough to deal with the Second Division and No.18 Division of the Japanese Army in Xidang, even if the Japanese army makes plans from the Inowady River, they are not afraid.

The result of the sand table deduction is not ideal. Yingduo can basically guarantee that he will be safe, but Lashio’s chance of winning is less than [-]%, and the [-]% chance of winning is based on the [-]% casualties of all the troops on the east coast. It can be said that there is basically no victory It is possible that this plan will not work.
