Chapter 841

Baoshan City, Republic Front Command.

"Order, the 6th Air Division will immediately take to the air and carry out indiscriminate carpet bombing of this area of the jungle in northern Myitkyina!" Li Aiguo said after looking at the electronic map on the wall for a while. And the area of Li Aiguo's finger is the jungle in the north of Myitkyina, and this time Li Aiguo is ready to give the Burmese government army a little ruthless. Burmese government forces have laid a large number of troops in the jungles north of Myitkyina, and only a handful are now engaged with the Republic's ground forces. Li Aiguo knew very well that once these Burmese army troops were returned to their defensive lines, the offensive pressure of the troops would increase greatly. Therefore, Li Aiguo is ready to leave all these Burmese government troops who are fighting with the ground forces of the Republic here. Li Aiguo is ready to use the 6th Air Force Division to completely block the return of this part of the Burmese government army.

"Yes!" the signal soldier quickly gave Li Aiguo's order.

After arriving in Kunming, the Sixth Air Force Division was put into combat readiness after only taking a brief rest, and now it has entered combat combat status immediately after receiving Li Aiguo's order. In fact, not all of the bombers of the 6th Air Division were at military airfields near Kunming, and a large number of bombers of the 6th Air Division were also parked at civilian airports. At the beginning of the war, the entire province of Yunnan was put into combat readiness and air traffic control had already begun. After the start of the war, anyone who wanted to leave Yunnan had to leave by car, and civilian flights had been suspended. At present, the Kunming civilian airport is full of bombers of the 6th Air Division and the escort fighters of the bomber group of the 6th Air Division.

After receiving the order, all the bombers and escort fighters of the 6th Air Division took to the air and flew towards the area where the enemy and us were fighting. In just ten minutes, a huge group of bombers has already flown over the battlefield, with the orders of the ground command. All the bombers began to drop deadly aerial bombs. Deadly aerial bombs roared down behind Burmese government forces, and mushroom clouds rose into the air. The deafening sound of explosions was heard in the jungle for a long time.

The continuous aerial bombs sent all kinds of trees and bushes on the ground into the sky, and large craters were blown out of the ground. The soil inside the crater has turned to scorched earth. The continuous development of military technology has made the power of aerial bombs constantly increase, not to mention that in order to achieve the maximum bombing effect, all the airborne aerial bombs of the bomber group of the Sixth Air Force Division dispatched this time were all aerial bombs of the air force units of the Republic of China three years ago. This kind of aerial bomb can be more accurately aimed at various military targets, and in order to be able to clear the military personnel on the Burmese side on a large scale, more than half of the aerial bombs carried this time are anti-personnel aerial bombs. The main function of this kind of anti-personnel bomb is to destroy the enemy's living force, of course, in this kind of jungle, even the effect of powerful anti-personnel bombs is limited.

Before the departure of the 6th Air Division, Li Aiguo had considered using incendiary bombs, which would cause large-scale casualties to the Burmese troops. However, the consequences of using incendiary bombs are too great, and this is not something that Li Aiguo or others can afford, and international public opinion alone can put the republic in huge trouble, so Li Aiguo finally chose this kind of anti-personnel bomb.

Hundreds of bombers of the entire Sixth Air Division basically plowed this jungle north of Myitkyina, and the entire jungle was filled with the sound of explosions, the crackling of burning trees, and the screams of personnel, and the scene was quite tragic. However, every pilot of the Air Sixth Division had expected such an outcome before the bombing mission, but at this moment they did not have any sympathy, intolerance and pity. This is war, this is the choice of their government. Soldiers, there is no sense of right or wrong, and the results caused by different positions are also different.

As the bombing of the bomber group of the 6th Air Division caused a large number of casualties to the Burmese government army, the attacking forces of the Republic also took the opportunity to start to intensify their offensive. However, bush warfare never ends overnight, and although the military quality of the Republican troops is good, there is still a relative gap between them and the Burmese government army, which live in the jungle all year round. Despite the assistance of the First Army, the Republican forces were stubbornly resisted. The purpose of the 6th Air Force Division was to eliminate the living forces of the Burmese army in large numbers and thus relieve the pressure on the attacking troops. The bombing mission of the 6th Air Force Division was also successfully completed, and although Li Aiguo could not clearly know how many casualties the bombing would bring to the Burmese government army, it would definitely not be less.

For three consecutive days, the Republic's ground offensive units did not achieve very good offensive results, and the main reason was that although the Republic's ground offensive units had also conducted special training in jungle warfare, they could not exert much combat effectiveness in this kind of tropical rainforest. Moreover, it can even be said that if it were not for the assistance of the First Army on the side, the ground offensive forces of the Republic would definitely have been defeated by the Burmese government army. Although the 33rd Division and the 1st Jungle Operations Division also conducted jungle warfare exercises, there was still a big gap between the exercises and the real war.

The attack for three consecutive days was unfavorable, which made everyone very uncomfortable. Moreover, according to the latest intelligence from intelligence officers, the bombing of the Myitkyina jungle in northern Myanmar by the Republic's 6th Air Force Division has caused at least tens of thousands of casualties. And it was precisely because of these tens of thousands of casualties that the Northern Military Region Command began to reinforce Myitkyina. This time, the command of the northern Burmese military region is obviously very determined to wipe out the ground offensive forces of the republic in one fell swoop. This time, the Northern Burma Military Region reinforced more than 30,000 Myitkyina divisions, and these 30,000 troops can be said to be relatively elite troops.

Li Aiguo has received that the Northern Burma Military Region will send more than 30,000 reinforcements to Myitkyina, which makes Li Aiguo very anxious. Once the three reinforced divisions of the Burma Northern Military Region reach Myitkyina, it will be a disaster for the Republic's ground offensive forces. Although the Republic can also send troops to reinforce here, to be honest, the Republic's troops are still not very mature for jungle warfare. If a large number of troops are rashly sent to reinforce them, it is easy to cause a large number of casualties among the troops, which is a result that no one wants to see, and now Li Aiguo is gathering others to discuss how to break the current deadlock. Whoever is the first to break the deadlock between the Republic and Burma now is likely to be the one who will be the winner.
