Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Not only Jiang Haoran is as fierce as a tiger, but these tens of thousands of soldiers are also as fierce as a tiger. Whether it is a veteran or a new soldier, the probability of being able to charge side by side with the commander-in-chief, army commander, and division commander on the battlefield is extremely low. But today, they saw , There is a turbulent heart, and there is also the desire to show one's strength in front of the chief. Of course, there is also the desire to pay blood and kill the enemy to serve the country.

And these thoughts are even worse for recruits than for veterans. Perhaps when charging, they will inevitably feel a little timid, dazed, at a loss, and may even feel timid, with weak calves and wet pants, but then With the two troops completely mixed together, they soon discovered that the Japanese army was not as terrible as in the legend, and they would die under the bayonet of veterans.

The bloody scene, the threat of either the enemy's death or our own death, and the new and old hatred of seeing their own people fall under the enemy's bayonet, all stimulated them to have only one thought - kill, kill, kill!

The four divisions of the Expeditionary Army plus the third airborne regiment already had a larger force than the No. 20 Second Division of the Japanese Army. In addition to the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, a cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment had been dispatched. Team, plus an infantry brigade to go to Lashio, the strength is even weaker.

Moreover, the fierce fighting all day long and the constant feints of the expeditionary army have already brought mental weakness to the Japanese army, and the momentum has already been lost for a while, and the expeditionary army was encouraged by Jiang Haoran, adding fresh blood, morale and confidence has reached its peak.

Therefore, although the Japanese army's fighting skills have never been bad, in less than an hour, the Japanese army has shown signs of defeat. The battlefield commander decisively issued an order to retreat when he knew that the defense line could no longer be held.

What's more, they didn't dare to retreat to Ruigu, and the remaining defeated soldiers could no longer stop the expeditionary army from marching towards Lashio. Forcibly blocking them would only lead to their own death. Hayao Tada was not so stupid, so they could only Retreat all the way to the north, and give way to the expeditionary army to the road leading to Ruigu.

At this point, Tada Hayao had no choice but to preserve his strength as much as possible, in order to encircle the expeditionary army after the First Guards Division arrived.

The Japanese army retreated in an all-round way, and the expeditionary force had no intention of chasing after them. After controlling the situation, the three divisions on the Eastern Front also retreated rapidly, and more than [-] armed helicopters were responsible for breaking the rear.

Because the troops crossing the river had no cars, mules and horses, and did not have a lot of supplies, they retreated neatly.Moreover, before retreating, each division received the retreat route formulated by Jiang Haoran and their new defensive area, so there would be no congestion on the road.

At about twelve o'clock that night, Jiang Haoran, Zhang Zhen, and the civilian personnel of the command headquarters, as well as the logistics force, marched into Lashio under the escort of the third regiment of the airborne brigade. Liu Xianwei, Aung San, John Williams, etc. The general went out of the city to meet him.

Jiang Haoran was not mistaken, when he went to Yingdo with Bo Nai Win to negotiate, one of the two attendants, to be precise, the one who smiled back in the rain was Aung San.

When they met for the second time, neither of them mentioned this matter, some things can be tacitly agreed, but Jiang Haoran still spoke highly of Aung San's performance.

Without too many pleasantries, the group quickly entered the temporary headquarters.

Knowing that Jiang Haoran is coming, and there are several division troops, the headquarters can't be too simple, and the safety factor can't be too low.

For this reason, Liu Xianwei and Aung San did not waste their time. The city would inevitably be the focus of the Japanese bombing, and it was not suitable for building a headquarters at all. They deliberately found a cave a few miles east of the city, and carried out some camouflage and arrangement.

Lifting off the quilt that blocked the light at the entrance of the cave, the lights inside the cave were brilliant, shining like daytime. The cave, which is hundreds of meters wide, has been partitioned into areas such as the command room, war room, and telecommunications room in a planned way, which Jiang Haoran praised. Can't stop talking.

It is located on the edge of the Shan State plateau, which is a direction where the Japanese army would never appear. There is absolutely no problem with safety. What is even more rare is that the cave is so spacious that the staff of the headquarters can eat and live without any problems.

With Jiang Haoran's arrival, the command center became lively, and the personnel of each department nervously entered their posts and performed their duties.

Jiang Haoran's first order was to immediately turn off the electronic jamming equipment, turn on the radio to inform Huang Jie that the troops had successfully arrived in Lashio, and at the same time, contact the troops in time to see if they had arrived at the designated location as scheduled.

Immediately, Jiang Haoran walked directly into the war room, there was already a combat sand table prepared by Liu Xianwei, the topography of the entire periphery of Lashio was on it, and he was waiting for Jiang Haoran to re-arrange his troops.

The staff team was the original team of the 75th Army. Under the command of Jiang Haoran, they began to insert the small red flag representing the expeditionary force and the small white flag representing the Japanese army into the sand table.

Soon, the formation of troops was clear on the sand table.

The line of defense runs from south to north, and the troops are the new 38th Division, 28th Division, 29th Division, and 93rd Division. The four divisions are about [-] miles away from Lashio. Taking advantage of the mountainous terrain, the roads and forks are the center, forming an irregular pattern. Arrange in a fan shape and arrange three lines of defense to defend against the enemy.

The 49th Division, the Airborne Brigade, and the Predator Assault Regiment served as the reserve team. Aung San's Burmese Army joined forces with the Chinese and Overseas Chinese Volunteers in Lashio as the logistics force, responsible for the logistics replenishment of the front divisions and the transportation of the wounded.

What is puzzling is that Jiang Haoran blatantly abandoned the two cities of Xibao and Ruigu, but rebuilt the defense line in the wild. The northwest is surrounded by jungles, which is good for the troops to hide. In the plains, there is almost nothing to hide from the crushing and bombing of enemy tanks, artillery, and aircraft.

This kind of arrangement seems a little unreasonable, Liu Xianwei immediately questioned: "Boss, why did we give up Xibao and Ruigu? At least there are still some buildings in the city, and if it's not good enough, we can retreat to the city and fight the enemy in the streets. We have an advantage. Moreover, this undoubtedly increases our depth, but you see, the troops are all in the wild now, aren't they just waiting to be bombed by the enemy?"

Jiang Haoran gave Liu Xianwei a blank look, and said, "Xibao is 9 kilometers away from Lashio, and Ruigu is [-] kilometers away from Lashio. We don't have transportation vehicles. How can we ensure the logistics of the troops? Depth? If we can ensure the depth of the troops, then Losing the compactness between the troops, besides, we are fighting the little devils to the death, there is no room for retreat, why do we need such a large depth, I am now centered on Lashio, with a radius of [-] miles, and placed an iron bucket If they want to pass through or come in from Lashio, if they don’t eat up more than [-] people from my seven divisions, he will never succeed.”
