In order to destroy the jungle vegetation, the Mi army also sprayed a large number of chemical defoliants and used B-52 bombers to bomb these trails for more than a year, totaling more than 3,000 times.

The B-52's coordinate-controlled bombing could drop more than 100 750-pound* bombs in 30 seconds, cutting through a mile-long and 1/4-mile-wide glade in the jungle, but the Ho Chi Minh Trail was not only unimpeded, but also increasingly trafficked.

All of this proves that the terrain here is extremely complex, and it is a place where dirt and dirt can be easily hidden.

Especially in the current period not long after Siam's independence, Laos and Cambodia have seen hope, plus the Viet Cong, various forces against the French army have sprung up from under the ground, and the Truong Son mountain range has naturally become their most nourishing fertile soil.

Among these forces, there is a force that has grown rapidly in just over half a year, with about 3,000 troops, among them are Khmers, Tai people, and Lao people from Viet Lan, but more of them are still island troops, and they are under the banner of "Phnom Penh National Salvation Army" to the outside world, and in fact they are troops controlled by the remnants of the island army.

Hundreds of thousands of troops have been routed from here, and the number of scattered soldiers and small units is unknown, and it is indeed not difficult to gather a few thousand.

In order to hide well, they sheltered a lot of local aborigines, and the actions of robbing food and materials to the outside world are generally dominated by indigenous people, and the island army is responsible for planning, and the main force is rarely dispatched, so the outside world has always thought that they are just a resistance organization in Laos, even if some of them are devil soldiers, but in the war, it is normal to collect third-party forces for my use.

As for those natives, as long as anyone can give them a full bite to eat, they don't care about justice, evil, nationality, and ism.

Mujia Pass, the passage between Laos and the Viet Lan border, is an important mountain pass in the Chang Son mountain range. The altitude is 418 meters, close to the cliff wall of the Khammouang Plateau, there is a highway spiraling up and down, west to Laos Taqu, east to Yue Lan Fuze, is an important passage from the middle reaches of the Mekong River to the coast of the South China Sea.

The Aoki Wing of the Island Army was entrenched in this area, guarding this main transportation route, and living by robbing the French of supplies.

The Aoki Wing is a real establishment of the Island Army, which originally belonged to the command of the 1st Guards Division, but because the task of covering the main force to break through was delayed and stranded here, the wing commander Aoki Blade simply collected the remnants of the defeated army and occupied the mountain as the king.

On the winding road, two locals in blue straight-leg trousers, navy blue short coats and straw hats are hurrying around.

One of them was carrying a huge burden on his back, and the sun was scorching in the dry season, and the two of them walked sweatily, and their steps were relatively heavy, obviously after a long journey, and they were already very tired, but they still tried their best to keep the speed that was not slow, as if there was something very important.

"Stop, who's who?"

Suddenly, four people burst out of the jungle, speaking in Lao (Lao), dressed like them, but with rifles and * in their hands, they were menacing.

The two stopped, and did not panic as expected, but showed a hint of surprise in their eyes, one of them looked at the weapons in the hands of the comer, two 38 big covers, two German weapons MP40*, a smile on his face, but his eyes looked over the two in front of him to look at the soldier holding * in the back, and said with a smile: "We are from a special high class, my name is Akai Shou, and you Aoki Feng are classmates, please take us to see him quickly." ”

Although the two people in the back were dressed the same as the ones in front, the ruthlessness in their eyes exploded, and at first glance they were soldiers who had seen blood on the battlefield.

The two men stepped forward, looked up and down, and finally their eyes fell on the back of one of them.

Akai Shou comprehended, patted the burden on the back of the people around him, and there was a sound of iron utensils coming from it, and said with a smile: "It's the radio, you can contact the base camp immediately." ”

One of them ordered the three to continue to stand guard, but he took Akai Shou to the mountain, without even checking them too much, and did not search them for weapons.

It has been a long time since the Aoki Wing lost contact with the above, and the loss of contact with the troops is equivalent to the loss of spiritual sustenance, and having a radio station at this time is like a shot in the arm for them.

Akai Shou can accurately say the name of Aoki Minemi, and he has a radio station, so he is naturally his own person, and if he is an enemy, it is impossible to go up the mountain with a radio station.

The mountain roads are rugged, the jungles are dense, there are more and more bright posts and secret posts, and the more you go inside, the stricter the guard becomes, and you can also see the familiar earthy yellow military uniforms and the exclusive fart curtain hats of the island army.

Although the soldiers' uniforms were old and tattered, their spirits were still there, especially when they walked near a log cabin, there was a group of soldiers with very clean uniforms and very clean uniforms, and they were all armed and energetic with MP40* in their hands.

Akai Shou's heart was full of flowers, he was extremely excited, pinched this arm and pounded that chest, full of praise.

The voice had already alarmed the people in the wooden house, and an island army Dazuo walked out of it and exclaimed, "Akai, is it really you?" ”

"Hehe, isn't that me?" Akai Shou stepped forward quickly, and the two hugged each other.

"Fengjian, I'm relieved to see you." Akai Tobuki.

"Hehe, why am I not, Akai, don't you know, I haven't received any news from the Locust Army in the past half a year, this deaf and blind man is not easy to be, tell me about the current situation of the Locust Army, can we still fight back?" Aoki said excitedly.

Akai Shou's face sank, and he said: "Hainan Island has been lost, only three divisions of the 31st Army of the Locust Army are left to retreat to Macao, General Terauchi, General Tsukada, and General Gu Shou are all broken, and now the coalition forces are plotting to send troops to the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, and the Mariana Islands." ”

"Ah...... Is the situation so bad? ”

"Yes, so, the base camp ordered me to come to you, whether the locust army can keep the last supply land this time is all up to you and me."

"For the Holy War of the Empire, Aoki went to the soup to fight the fire and never gave up, Akai, what tasks do you say?"

"Feng Jian really deserves to be a real samurai, I have confidence with your words, let's go in."

……

Three days later, Vientiane, the former enemy headquarters of the national army.

Two distinguished guests came to the headquarters, Major General William Gilmore, commander of the 13th Airborne Division of the Chinese Army, and Brigadier General Charles Kirans, chief of staff.

Since the birth of Jiang Haoran's airborne troops, the United States also quickly anticipated the indispensable position of this new branch of arms in the war, and immediately recruited elite soldiers to form airborne divisions, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the United States Army formed four airborne divisions at a very fast speed, and the thirteenth airborne division has been used in the Pacific theater.
