Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Since the Japanese No.16 Division raided Homalin, the Wanjiang direction was no longer safe. Because of the absolute advantage in terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Jiang Haoran only arranged for one regiment to garrison when he left. After the army arrived, another division was added, but now Dai Anlan suddenly transferred Homalin's British army division, making Jiang Haoran wonder if there was something wrong with the Qingyi Army.

The telegram for verification was sent, and Huang Jie quickly called back. Sure enough, the Qingyi Army marched slowly. Two days passed, and the follow-up troops had not yet completed their assembly work, and the forward troops had not even reached the India-Myanmar border.It was originally expected that one-third of the troops would enter Yingdo within five days, and all the troops would be in place within seven days. Now it seems that this date will be extended indefinitely.

Most of the training camps of the First Youth Army are located in the Imphal and Ramgarh areas, and the area is relatively concentrated. It does take some time to assemble a 15 army in a hurry, but the order to assemble has been issued three days ago. It can be completed, and almost all of the five-day period is spent on the road. From Imphal to Indo, it is only more than 300 kilometers away. Not to mention the extra time, but it is definitely enough to be positive.

Jiang Haoran knew that Gu Liantong and Tang Enbo must have played tricks in it. According to the habitual thinking of the "loyal ministers and good generals" of the party and the state, they existed completely after the expeditionary force was consumed, and then formed a situation of fighting against courtesy with an absolutely superior force within the expeditionary force. , so as to form the power of the Qingyi Army in the expeditionary army.

Whether they have such thoughts, Jiang Haoran can no longer care about it now, and immediately ordered Mei Xiangcao to draft a telegram and send it directly to Tang Enbo, the commander of the First Qing Army. Becoming a scapegoat for some people with ulterior motives, if the expeditionary army suffers heavy casualties, or even loses Yingduo because of the delay of the fighter plane by the Qingyi Army, if Jiang Haoran doesn't kill him, the chairman will have to shoot him.

The wording of the telegram was not harsh, and Jiang Haoran also rarely put on the card of family affection, calling Tang Enbo the old chief.

The predecessor of Jiang Haoran's host was the company commander of the 89th Division. At that time, the 89th Division belonged to the battle order of the 31st Army, and the commander-in-chief of the 31st Army was Tang Enbo. Therefore, this "old sir" is also a fact. At the moment, Jiang Haoran was unwilling to intensify the conflict. If he could bring Tang Enbo into his camp, it would be far easier than using violent means to digest this army. At least the food would look much better.

The day passed quickly, and the weather was still clear, as if the rainy season had just passed.

In order to prepare for the Japanese air strikes, the sky was already filled with smoke before dawn, and the smoke array still did not stop.

But at dawn, the troops on the southern front suddenly discovered that the Japanese army had built a defensive position in front of them, but until the evening, the Japanese army did not take any action, but hurriedly built fortifications.

What came was the team marching along the railway. They were one day faster than the Japanese army on the road. Perhaps the aura of the expeditionary force frightened them, so they did not choose to attack immediately. At the same time, without the support of artillery fire, they feared The helicopters of the expeditionary force may also be a major reason.

At night, Huang Jie called to inform that the vanguard of a division of the First Qing Army would enter Yingdo tomorrow, and the follow-up troops would follow up immediately, only one day later than scheduled.

Jiang Haoran knew that Tang Enbo still listened to his words after all. No matter what his thoughts were, at least the crisis in front of him was resolved. For Jiang Haoran, the goal had been achieved, which was considered good news. As for whether Tang Enbo would In this way, he was included in his own lineup. This alone does not explain the problem. After all, Yingduo's gains and losses are related to the future and destiny of the entire China, and even the future and destiny of the entire Allied Forces. He Tang Enbo cannot bear this responsibility.

There was also news from the troops in western Yunnan that the First Group Army and the No.70 First Army had switched from an offensive state to a defensive state, and the enemy had no intention of counterattacking due to shortage of supplies.

In Songshan, Su Peng and Liu Dakun's soil work is progressing slowly, and they have only advanced a hundred meters so far. From the mountainside to the bottom of the mountain, there is at least a distance of more than 300 meters.To blow up a mountain top, the amount of explosives required must not be a small amount, which requires that the hole should not be too small, which also increases the difficulty of the soil work. It is estimated that it will be difficult to dig to the bottom of the mountain top within ten days.

The three division commanders Chu Zhongtian, Su Peng, and Liu Dakun jointly signed power, requesting to give up the soil work and continue to attack by force. Even if they get [-] to [-] soldiers, they still hope to use the fastest speed to take down Songshan. Jiang Haoran is in The danger has already made them a little impatient.

But this plan was rejected by Jiang Haoran, and the army continued to carry out the soil work. It was not because he was reluctant to part with the [-] soldiers. Over the past few years, he had seen too many deaths, either by the enemy or by his own people, and he also deeply understood "" The meaning of "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up" has long been as hard as a stone.

But he knew very well that the fortress of Songshan was so strong that it would be impossible to get through the Songshan passage even if tens of thousands of soldiers were sacrificed. That would be a nightmare for the Chinese army. Dare to take the risk.

The time soon came to September [-]th, which was the seventh day Jiang Haoran launched the campaign and the third day he entered Lashio.

The First Division of the Japanese Guards finally reached the frontier of Lashio, perhaps a sign that there would be a fierce battle on this day. The weather was sunny for two or three days in a row, but it rained heavily at dawn, and it did not stop until [-]:[-] am. the meaning of.

Perhaps because of this heavy rain, the Japanese fighter jets and bombers that have been circling around Lashio for two days have not been seen today, but the Japanese army seems to be waiting for this moment.

At 38 o'clock in the morning, there were intensive bombing sounds in three directions at the front of Lashio. The Japanese army began to bombard them, and they bombarded them indiscriminately, especially in the south. Completely at ease and bold, they simply smashed the heads of the new 28th Division and the [-]th Division of the Expeditionary Army for free, and it took nearly half an hour to end.

The heavy rain caused the smoke of the artillery attack to dissipate immediately. The densely packed Japanese army had already appeared on the river beach on the opposite bank.

There are many rivers in Myanmar. The defense line of the new 38th Division relies on a small river. This small river is called Nandu River. The width of the river is no more than 60 meters. Because the Mekong River in the north of Lashio intercepts a large amount of water flow, the usual water flow is not large. Only after the heavy rain, the water flow increases, forming a roaring situation.
