The night was dark, and at this moment, Longling, Songshan, and Tengchong were conquered one after another, and western Yunnan was basically recovered, and the only remaining stronghold was Wan Town, which was equivalent to driving the Japanese army out of the country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although the victory was great, but the sacrifice was also huge, Songshan casualties of more than 7,000 people, Tengchong casualties of more than 9,000 people, Longling direction casualties of nearly 10,000 people, truly reached the concept of an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood. And this is still the most elite expeditionary force in China, and we still have most of our land in the hands of the Japanese army, how many more people will we die to recover these lands?

I believe that this question has been considered in the hearts of many soldiers, how many people will still be alive after the whole of China is recovered?

Without waiting for Lu Hai and their large troops to catch up, the Japanese army finally tore through the forward positions under the bitterness of the crazy use of poison gas, and more than 1,000 Japanese troops escaped, in this case, all the soldiers stopped repairing, these days of hard fighting have made many soldiers tired, eating, transporting the wounded, and falling asleep on the side of the mountain and forest roadside at will.

In the same way, when Tengchong and Longling were also recovered, and the news of the victory also came back, and it was learned that the front line had conquered the three major strongholds in a row, and the chairman of the committee was in a very good mood, since the Battle of Changde, this was China's reconquest of lost territory, and the confidence of the Allies in China's military land was much better, and then there was a steady stream of materials coming in, and the Chinese army equipped with American military equipment may not be able to fight with the Japanese, and then it will be able to recover the lost territory.

After learning of the victory at the front, the chairman of the committee made another mistake, and immediately ordered: "Inform all major theaters of this news, commend meritorious officers and soldiers, and give the same order to Wei Lihuang to speed up and conquer Wan Town as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

The sky is gradually brightening, Tengchong City, the people have also come back, moving the ruins, dragging the corpses, this has become a ruins of the city once again accepted the people's reconstruction plan, although there are ruins everywhere, but these people are still very energetic, the house is gone, there is nothing left, no longer have to kneel to survive.

Tengchong East Gate, the city wall that was bombed and shelled is full of gaps and ruins, on the city wall, there are several human heads, these heads are naturally hung by Lu Hai, it is the head of a Japanese army officer such as Yasumi Zangzhong, once here, the Japanese army used the wire to penetrate the thighs of the people and hang here to prevent our army from attacking, now here are the officers of the Japanese army, the people are still indignant, still angry, a few children even took a slingshot to hit the head hanging on it, for such a scene, The children below did not feel afraid, only angry.

In the headquarters, the new combat mission continues, and the goal is naturally to attack Wan Town, the last stronghold in western Yunnan.

Wan Town is the smallest city in the country, the city covers an area of 95 square kilometers, known as a pocket city, the same Wan Town and Myanmar depend on each other, a river across the Myanmar, chickens and dogs smell each other.

As the last stronghold in western Yunnan, the Japanese army also gathered heavy troops, but in the face of the flanking situation of the Chinese garrison in India and the expeditionary force in northern Burma, it has faced a general collapse, but the Japanese army still wants to hold on and counterattack, trying to turn the tide of the war again!

The Japanese army dispatched heavy troops to Ma'anshan, Daheishan, Dajianshan, and Huilongshan to the north of Wan Town. A large number of strong fortifications have been built on the east bank of the Yong Town, the Mankyu in Burma, the Igu Mountain, Kapana, and the north bank of the Wan Town, and the east bank of the Yongchuan River, although these fortifications are not as good as the previous Matsuyama fortifications, but they are also very strong, and there are all kinds of trenches, anti-artillery holes and other facilities, densely packed like spider webs, and similarly, most of the terrain in these places is responsible for easy defense and difficult to attack.

The most critical thing is that the counteroffensive campaign in western Yunnan has lasted for 8 months, with 20,000 soldiers killed and 40,000 wounded, which is already a tired division, and all the materials still need to be prepared, whether it is ammunition or food, they need to be fully prepared.

In the rear, a steady stream of supplies began to move closer to the front, and similarly, how to fight Wan Town has become the main topic of military meetings these days!

On this day, on the periphery of Tengchong, the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force, officers at all levels were present one after another, and the commanders of the group army, army commanders, division commanders, and brigade commanders were all present.

There was a long table in the room, and Wei Lihuang was sitting on the main seat in front of him, and on either side were Song Xilian and other senior generals.

For three hours, he still hasn't come up with a suitable plan, it's nothing more than that the enemy of Wan Town is waiting for work, the fortifications are strong and the Japanese army is relatively tightly deployed, it belongs to a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is no suitable opinion to fight around, Wei Lihuang looked at his watch and said: "This morning's deliberations are all here, each eat, and then discuss at two o'clock in the afternoon!" ”

Everyone had no choice but to get up and salute, but at this time, Song Xilian spoke: "Lu Hai, wait a minute, I have something to say!" ”

Although Lu Hai didn't understand what was going on, he had to answer and wait, and after everyone dispersed one after another, Song Xilian said, "Let's go, come with me to dinner!" ”

Lu Hai thought that Song Xilian was going to discuss with him about attacking Wan Town, but who knew that Song Xilian asked him to go to dinner, which also surprised Lu Hai, but it was not easy to refuse.

followed Song Xilian into a room on the side, only to see Wei Lihuang sitting in the field, Lu Hai raised his hand and saluted: "Hello commander-in-chief!" ”

"You're welcome, sit down and eat!" Wei Lihuang waved his hand and said.

Lu Hai had no choice but to sit down, pick up the dishes and chopsticks and follow the eating, this meal is to have dishes and wine, Wei Lihuang picked up the wine glass and took a sip before he spoke: "Tell me, do you think it is very likely that Wan Town will be defeated?" ”

"I think it's still possible for us to gather houses and troops in a short period of time!" Song Xilian said.

"Although our department is tired, after conquering Matsuyama and other places one after another, although the morale is strong, the offensive near Wan Town is strong but much simpler than Matsuyama, and I think we can fight after a short period of repair!" Song Xilian said.

"You're always on the front line, let's talk about it!" Wei Lihuang looked at Lu Hai and said.

Lu Hai put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: "I think we should make a truce and quickly replenish the losses of the soldiers, in the same way, our attack should be the Indian army stationed here, and the two sides can be flanked, now if we attack rashly, the chances of victory are not great, the casualties of all departments are very large, although the morale of the soldiers is strong, but we are not well prepared, the losses will definitely increase, and I am afraid that the morale will also fall at that time, in the same way, we should send a small force to the vicinity of Wan Town, unite the civil forces of Wan Town, and strive to get their support, with the support of the people, We won't get lost in the complex terrain of Wanmachi! When the time comes, we will discuss the main direction of attack and the specific battle plan! ”

"You are indeed a little anxious for quick success, we should think about our own situation, we are at least in urgent need of reinforcements, and it will take time for new recruits to form combat effectiveness!" Wei Lihuang looked at Song Xilian and said.

Song Xilian frowned slightly and nodded, and then spoke: "Otherwise, the matter of uniting the local people will be left to you, you are from Yunnan, and it is much more convenient to communicate, and there is another point I want to discuss with you, that is, the losses of all departments are very huge, including the losses of officers are very serious, I decided after consulting with the commander-in-chief that I am ready to use the officers in your special battalion to command the rest of the troops, they all have rich combat experience, and they have all undergone strict training and study in the military academy. It can also quickly make up for the shortage of officers! ”

Lu Hai frowned, but he stopped talking, this Song Xilian was obviously digging into the corner, Li Fan, these colonels and officers are the treasures of the Sixty Army, if he really agreed, it would be troublesome, and he would not be able to be a man in two places at once, Wan Baobang also meant to give Lu Hai the most familiar brothers and soldiers, so he sent them out in one go, the lowest Zhao Weiguo is also a major, it is completely okay to be a battalion commander in the future, and Li Fan They are more than enough to be a regiment commander or something, They are all talents cultivated by the 60th Army!

During the war years, what is the most precious, veterans are the most precious, and Zhao Jianying and Li Fan are all officers of a hundred battles, and they have rich combat experience, it is absolutely impossible for these people to come back in the future, the same way, the reason why Lu Hai will be dropped back by Long Yun, Lu Hai himself is not stupid, it is impossible not to know, if he agrees, he can't tell how Long Yun will punish him when he goes back, Song Xilian saw that Lu Hai didn't speak, but he said: "Is there any difficulty?" You name it and I'll try to satisfy you! ”

"It's not a secret, we all have military positions in the Sixty Army, and I can't go back after I am transferred, and I will not be able to obey this matter without Chairman Long's personal order!" Lu Hai said.

Sure enough, when they heard Long Yun's handwritten order, Wei Lihuang and Song Xilian's brows wrinkled, they all knew what role Long Yun was, Long Yun, as the largest administrator of Yunnan Province, had a very high prestige in the hearts of the people, and the same Long Yun also had the entire 100,000 troops of the First Group Army in his hands, especially the strong combat power of the 60th Army, which almost made them greedy when they thought about it, but Long Yun did everything he could on the issue of resisting Japan, but he was still very unclear about the attitude towards the chairman of the committee, in the context of the entire Anti-Japanese War at that timeThe Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee is left with the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army of our Party, followed by the independent kingdom of Yunnan.
