"Wait, Ma Chenglong, what should you say if you trespassed into my headquarters today and beat my guards?" The commander-in-chief glanced at Ma Chenglong and said.

"Don't blame the past, make meritorious contributions!" Ma Chenglong said.

"Chief of Staff Yu, find a place for Ma Chenglong and his second general Hum Ha to be confined!"

Headquarters of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army.

When Sakaguchi learned about it from a telegram sent by the Japanese troops stationed in Burma. The expeditionary force of the Chinese army captured Myitkyina, the water brigade was completely annihilated, and Major General Minakami Genzang was martyred. The water brigade is the Japanese army, the elite unit that is best at fighting defense. The soldiers were recruited from the coal mines of Kyushu, Japan......

"Your Excellency General, the 2nd and 33rd Divisions have arrived at Nantianmen and are ready to attack the Chinese army!"

"Send a telegram to the 148th regiment and report their location." Sakaguchi said confidently.

"Your Excellency, General!"

"Shimada-kun, you came just in time, my 2nd and 33rd divisions have arrived at Nantianmen......"

"Muangshi No. 1 received a telegram from the Burmese intelligence station. The Fifteenth Army is also facing great resistance at Imphal, and I am afraid that we will not be able to get reinforcements in the near future, Your Excellency. The Burmese division has no time to take care of us. I'm afraid we'll have to fight alone. ”

Sakaguchi didn't speak again, just walked to the sand table.

"Your Excellency General, I am still worried about the safety of Songshan, and the Chinese army is now doing its best to attack our Songshan in an all-out way. Although Matsuyama had strong fortifications built by our Imperial Army, I was worried that such a protracted and suicidal attack would still pose a great threat to Matsuyama. If something happens to Matsuyama, our Imperial Army's defense system in the entire Matsuyama will be dismantled. ”

"No, Matsuyama is not that easy to fight, and I have full confidence in Matsuyama. Shimada-kun, you are still optimistic about your Mangshi No. 1, once there is a problem with Mangshi No. 1, we will become deaf and blind. It needs to be reminded that your Mangshi No. 1 is dealing not only with Chongqing, but also against the pervasive CCP guerrillas. ”

As for Matsuyama's perfection, Kimitsu had the same confidence as his soldiers. It was a very famous engineer in Japan named Fukuda who organized the construction of the fortifications, and he designed the entire line not only Matsuyama, but also Tengchong and Longling's defensive positions. As early as early 1943, after the Japanese army suffered a series of defeats in the Pacific theater, Matsuyama was already conceived as an important base to support the Japanese defense system in western Yunnan and Burma.

Lieutenant General Shozo Kawabe, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese garrison in Burma, and Ken Taguchi, the new commander of the 15th Army, believed that the strategic position here was extremely important, and in order to keep it secret, they also specially transferred an engineering unit from Burma, most of which came from Kyushu.

These Kyushu miners were skilled in excavation and underground operations, and they led 20,000 migrant workers recruited from Thailand and Burma to build the Japanese defense position in Songshan in two years, and the construction was completely in accordance with the needs of permanent operations, and the fortifications were extremely complex and solid.

The tunnels in the belly of the mountain extend in all directions, and in some important areas, even tanks can drive in and out of the bunker, moving freely. Internally, each fort is divided into three tiers, with the upper part for shooting and observation, the middle for sleeping quarters or shooting, and the lower part for shelter or ammunition and grain storage, in addition to a complete water supply, power supply and communication system, and even a comfort station.

......

"Report, the commander-in-chief, deputy commander Chen of the 71st Army, sent an urgent telegram that the Japanese reinforcements coming from the direction of Tenglong have arrived at Tenglong Bridge. In Mangshi, the Japanese reinforcements who came over launched a fierce attack on Nantianmen and Zhang Junshan. The Nantianmen blocking troops were in a hurry with food and ammunition, and they requested that they be sent as soon as possible. ”

"Order the second regiment to reinforce Nantianmen as quickly as possible; Commander Zhou, your troops must block the Japanese army and buy time for taking Songshan; Staff Officer Yu ordered the Second Army of the Reserve Force to quickly cross the river and advance towards Longling. The new 28th Division, which attacked Songshan, was withdrawn first and transferred to Longling; Commander He, your division will take over the new 28th Division and prepare to attack Songshan; Commander-in-Chief Gu, the Japanese army in Tengchong has dispersed, now is the best time, the left flank attack force must hurry up the attack and take Tengchong as soon as possible. ”

"Guys, act now!"

"Yes!"

......

Captain Zhao of our party's guerrilla force, who received the telegram, and Political Commissar Cai were discussing how to transport food and ammunition to Nantianmen.

The dark clouds suddenly pressed down, and the dull thunder moved from the northwest, followed by a string of bean-sized raindrops, which fell, and in an instant, a string of raindrops poured down overwhelmingly.

"Gathering everyone so late, the West Yunnan Special Committee urgently instructed that capable personnel must be organized immediately. Support the Nantianmen troops. Therefore, today I and Political Commissar Cai specially convened everyone to convey the instructions of the superiors. ”

"Organize the villagers overnight to send food and ammunition as soon as possible."

"Captain, the rain is so heavy, I'm afraid it's hard for us to pass, even if we can get through, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the villagers can't get through!"

"There is a small road in the north of the city of Longling, which can be bypassed when it is poured, no matter how heavy the rain is or how difficult the road is, it must be delivered before dawn. Nantianmen is related to the battle situation of the entire Songshan, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go. ”

......

"Headquarters, the butterfly team reported that just last night the Chinese guerrillas had sent food and ammunition to our garrison troops in Nantianmen."

"In addition, the 2nd Pre-Advance Regiment also reached Nantianmen, effectively blocking several Japanese attacks."

"Good! , tell Peng Gang, hold your ground! ”

"Commander, now that the enemy and us have clearly defined the new combat objectives, that is to say, in the coming period, the competition between the two sides will be very cruel. I mean, in order to get there as quickly as possible, we have to do whatever it takes, even if it's just one person......," Yu said.

.......

"Miki-kun, I have a hunch. Next, the Chinese army will adjust the direction of their attack, and they will press the main force on the Songshan line. So I judged that their intelligence department would definitely focus on the deployment of my forces in Matsuyama. ”

"You are like this, in addition to the division and regiment headquarters, you send urgent notices to the various departments of the imperial army stationed in Longling. All the disposition of the Imperial Army is to be controlled between officers above the rank of captain, and all other personnel are to be kept strictly secret. ”

"Yes, I'll do ......it right away," Miki said, turning to leave.
