The information sent by the butterfly group lurking in Longling confirmed that the information on my plan to cross the river had not been leaked.

The troops crossing the river were ordered to proceed according to the predetermined plan.

According to the information provided by the CCP, the 56th Division defending western Yunnan is the devil's regiment, and its basic troop deployment is:

The 148th Wing was stationed in Tengchong, and the 113th Wing defended Lashio, Longling, and Mangshi along the Yunnan-Burma Road; The 144th Wing was stationed at Matsuyama; The 146th Wing took control of the vicinity of Wan Town, defending Pingga with a brigade. In addition, the 1st Brigade of the 114th Wing of the 18th Division defended the Tractor Corner, Pian Ma, and the horse was under the command of the 56th Division.

The specific arrangements for our troops crossing the river are as follows:

The 198th Division and the 36th Division under the jurisdiction of the 54th Army of the First Line Corps of our 20th Group Army each sent a reinforced regiment to start forcibly crossing the Nu River from Lichaiba and Shuanghongqiao, with the support of artillery and engineers, and attacked and advanced towards Gaoligong Mountain with Tengchong as the target.

At the same time, the new 39th Division, the 88th Division, and the 76th Division of the First Line Corps of the 11th Group Army of the defending army also sent a reinforced regiment each, and the new 33rd Division sent a reinforced battalion to cross the river from Huirenqiao, Daheidu, and Sanjiangkou to attack Hongmushu, Pingga, and Rollong, and plan to fight against the attacking army.

The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary forces ordered: "The general offensive will be launched at seven o'clock this evening, and all the radio stations in the army group will be turned on at six o'clock in the evening, and the new code book will be activated." ”

......

Headquarters of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army.

The Japanese army received seven pre-selected places between Lichaiba and Shuanghongqiao at 7 o'clock this evening, and would begin to cross the river under the cover of strong artillery fire from the American army.

"I ordered the Jiangfang troops to abandon the defense line along the river, and all of them quickly retreated to Tengchong to strengthen the defense around Tengchong." Commander Sakaguchi said to the officers attending the meeting.

"Your Excellency General, I don't think all of our border guards can retreat, and if they do, I'm worried that it will touch the nerves of the Chinese troops on the other side of the river, and it will make them suspect that their intelligence has leaked......," Shimada said.

"Shimada-kun, I've thought about your concerns, but have you thought about it, if my Jiang defense troops don't evacuate in time, they will become a live target for Chinese soldiers."

In Shimada, he saw that even if he sacrificed some soldiers for the victory of the holy war and the victory of the whole battle, he thought it was worth it.

And Sakaguchi is different, at present, the entire front is too long, and the importance of personnel and materials is self-evident. He would never allow his soldiers to make what he considered to be the most senseless sacrifice.

"Inform the Jiangfang troops to secretly withdraw from their positions at half past six punctually." Sakaguchi ordered.

"Your Excellency, General!"

"Shimada-kun, don't say any more, your main task now is to protect the safety of Mangshi No. 1 of the Great Japanese Empire and how to find the beautiful butterfly in Longling......"

......

The devil who clenches on it is like a vicious beast, Ma Chenglong and wherever they go, the devil will follow. Keep trailing, and nibble on a little bit when you get the chance.

By this time it was getting dark, and I played all afternoon and ran all afternoon. Ma Chenglong: They are tired, and the devils are also tired. After all, the tired devil let Ma Chenglong and them run away, and the devil went back to the county seat. And Ma Chenglong, who was also tired, had to continue walking, and they were almost to the Nu River, and everything would be fine when they crossed the river and returned to the other side.

"Commander, look, devil!" Xiao Shandong shouted softly.

I saw the devils stationed on the banks of the Nu River bending over and withdrawing from their positions one after another.

......

The commander of the first company stood in front of Peng Gang, the commander of the second pre-regiment, with his head drooping. According to the plan, Peng Gang arranged for someone to go to Wulipo to pick up Ma Chenglong and them, but the company commander took dozens of brothers to wander around in the dense forest for a long time, but he got lost and did not find Wulipo at all. Peng Gang knew very well that the time they agreed on had already passed, and Ma Chenglong and they had not come back yet, so it seemed that there was a lot of luck.

"I'm asking you, what about Ma Chenglong, what about Ma Chenglong! A company commander, let me tell you, if something happens to Ma Chenglong, even if you are three company commanders, you can't get him back. ”

"You can do it yourself!" Saying that, Peng Gang walked towards the headquarters.

......

Longling Shen Mansion.

Mangshi No. 1 released a large number of jamming signals, and Sanqingguan Radio was still unable to send the information out. Shen Liping and her teacher have been pacing around the Shen Mansion.

This is related to the lives of 200,000 brothers on the other side of the Nu River, and even more related to the entire war of resistance against Japan.

"Teacher, since we can't send out our information, why don't we borrow the radio station over there." Shen Liping proposed.

"No, absolutely not, how can the secrets of our army be known to the Communist Party?" The Taoist waved his hand and said.

"Teacher, when is it now, even Shangfeng instructed us to resist the war, why are you still holding on to your prejudices?"

"Don't say it again, I Yan Biye can trust anyone for the rest of my life, but I don't believe in the Communist Party, I just don't believe them, Liping, I'm the team leader, I have the final say, I advise you to dispel your thoughts. For the cause of the party-state, I know best what I should do, and as for the nail of Mangshi No. 1, I will personally pull it out sooner or later. Team Leader Yan said excitedly to Shen Liping.

"In that case, I have nothing to say, you are the team leader, so now we can only keep sending reports to the headquarters."

"Hey! I hope that Ma Chenglong and they can rush to the troops as soon as possible and bring the information to the headquarters. ”

......

On the other side of the Nu River, the headquarters of our expeditionary force.

The time for the general attack is getting closer and closer, and Yu Hanmin is looking at the sand table with the commander-in-chief. The two mentioned a place called Mahogany Tree almost at the same time. The Redwood Tree is located on the top of Gaoligong Mountain, and after the B Army crossed the river, it occupied the Redwood Tree, and then hid there and acted at the opportunistic, which was really like a tiger for our army's entire counteroffensive across the river.

Guarding in the mahogany tree can not only block the reinforcements of the Japanese army coming from the direction of Mangshi, but also cut off the back road of the Tengchong Japanese army's rout, and if necessary, you can take advantage of the Tengchong Japanese army's attention to focus on the right flank to surprise attack Tengchong.

At the same time, this unit gave people the illusion of attacking Tengchong and Songshan, and attracted the Japanese troops on the front line of Tengchong.

This troop is going to appear unexpectedly in the Redwood Tree.

"Commander, this is a strange move!"

"Chief of Staff, since it's a miracle move, you have to use a miracle soldier!"

"Commander, I'll arrange ......"

"Wait a minute, since it's a surprise soldier, their actions should be top secret, and its contact with headquarters can be done with the latest radio code."

"This strange soldier is very important, Hermes-Epitek, who do you think is better to send?"

"If you want me to see it, I will send Wang Xing, the commander of the newly formed 39th Division."

"You mean the king's beard?"

"Yes, Commander."

Yu Hanmin looked at the commander-in-chief and nodded.
