"Iron Bucket Array?" There was a soft cry in the war room, this name, coupled with Jiang Haoran's words, everyone clearly felt a chill, and I am afraid that they will all make up in their hearts, "In the next few days, what should Lashio be beaten into?" ”

However, Liu Xianwei obviously didn't take it to heart, and continued: "General seat, I ask the airborne brigade to go to Xibao to set up the first line of defense, and we will fight street battles with the little devils in the city, at least we can delay the little devils for a day or two, so that the troops can also have fewer casualties and win a certain amount of time for holding on." ”

"Not approved!" Jiang Haoran replied very dryly.

"Why?"

"Why? Even if you hold off the 1st Guards Division of the Japanese Army for a day or two, their tanks, artillery, planes, and heavy troops will still come, and I will withstand his bombing and attacking for a day, and at night, I will destroy all his artillery positions and tanks, and let them fight a positional battle with us on an equal footing. ”

"Ah, what can you do to take out the little devil's tanks and heavy artillery?" Liu Xianwei said strangely.

Jiang Haoran said fiercely: "I don't have artillery fire, I don't have tanks, but I still have hundreds of armed helicopters, as long as I lock the position of their tank and artillery positions during the day, at night, I can't sacrifice 100 helicopters, and I have to use them all, forcing them to fight a positional battle with us under the same conditions,"

"Hehe, Commander, we are not completely without artillery fire and tanks, in Xibao we completely annihilated the Japanese Abe Wing and captured their 36 field guns and mountain guns. And they also captured twenty-two of their intact tanks. Liu Xianwei said proudly.

"Oh, that's even better, there's still some heavy support firepower." Jiang Haoran was a little surprised, it was impossible for the troops crossing the river to carry heavy artillery fire, and some were only small-caliber battle defense guns, mortars, infantry guns, etc., and these dozens of heavy artillery pieces could be regarded as making up for the gap in their support firepower.

And these more than 20 tanks are also good guys, the airborne brigade is all from the special operations division, and the special operations division is an all-round force, which is indispensable for soldiers who can drive tanks, and a tank battalion can be formed, and it may be able to play a big role at a critical moment.

At this time, a soldier came in to report that Huang Baitao, commander of the 201st Division, and Li Tianxia, commander of the 202nd Division, asked to see him.

Jiang Haoran frowned and threw out two words "missing"! Then, as if sensing something wrong, he ordered the soldiers to let them in.

Soon, the two walked in and saluted Jiang Haoran, and then, Li Tianxia asked cautiously: "General seat, now that the troop breakthrough battle has been completed, do you see if we can let our two divisions return to the building, you can rest assured, we are ready to fight to the death." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Haoran's mouth, and said: "Division Commander Li, Division Commander Huang, don't worry, this group of recruits is mixed with veterans, it is good for them, the battle in front of them will be very cruel, and there can be no mistakes, so, let's leave it at it for the time being, and then talk about it after this battle?" ”

"This 616161616161 this 616161616161" The two of them suffocated their faces into pig liver, and they didn't know what to say.

Jiang Haoran glanced at them and said, "Two division commanders, I have given you an important task, you will take the officer company to be responsible for the security of the field hospital, and now report to the logistics office." ”

The two looked at each other, and they were really a little speechless in the face of such a ridiculous task.

"What, is there a problem?" Jiang Haoran's eyes widened, and his tone was deep, not angry but threatening.

The two of them were excited, and quickly replied: "No problem, I promise to complete the task." Then he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and quickly slipped away.

The command headquarters suddenly covered their mouths and snickered, the story of the "officer company" had already spread all over the Lashio troops, and everyone knew what Jiang Haoran had in mind, but this was too damaging.

Jiang Haoran didn't think so, and ordered Liu Xianwei to find a few people to watch them, don't let them use the radio, he didn't want this matter to spread to Yingduo so quickly, don't cause Gu Yi and Tang Enbo to rebel at that time, Huang Jie and Luo Zhuoying may not be able to suppress them.

These two divisions Jiang Haoran no longer have the intention of returning to the construction at all, the new 38th Division and the 28th Division are the first troops to cross the river, and the losses are relatively serious, these recruits are placed in their troops Jiang Haoran is also relieved, to put it bluntly, Jiang Haoran just doesn't believe that Li Tianxia and Huang Baitao can lead the troops well, don't be blind to these good soldiers.

In the early hours of the morning, the troops called back one after another, and the designated positions they had arrived at, except for the 93rd Division on the northern front and the Japanese army, there was no abnormal situation.

On the northern front was the 8th Division of the Japanese Army, and after the 22nd Division was defeated, Tada Jun naturally could not put the 8th Division in danger, so he had to retreat.

So far, Jiang Haoran only took one night to complete this strategic shift, the success is still second, but also brought huge casualties to the Japanese army, the 22nd Division was basically disabled, it would be good to be able to preserve the system, and the Eighth Division has long been scarred, Abe's wing was completely annihilated, the underground wing was disabled, basically a brigade is over, and it also took the heavy artillery wing, odd soldier wing, and tank wing of the eighth division, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a heavy casualty, Of the three divisions on the entire northern front, only the 10th Division basically suffered no major losses.

But the Japanese army is still facing a huge threat, several days of fierce fighting, so that their ammunition consumption is huge, Tada Jun blindly seeks the defense line not to break, unconventional consumption of ammunition, the original fifteen days of reserve ammunition, I am afraid that more than half of it has been consumed, if the war continues to escalate, they can hold out for five to seven days at most will face the situation that five bullets are available, and the entire northern front army two armies and six divisions, food reserves can last up to ten days,

In other words, as long as the expeditionary force holds out in Lashio for ten days, the Japanese army will have to eat grass roots and gnaw tree bark, but can the expeditionary force hold out for ten days? It's a question worth pondering.

At dawn, Su Canwen returned to Lashio with the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, and the news he brought back was mixed.

Happily, Su Canwen and the others destroyed almost all the bridges on the highway, and the Japanese troops on the highway would never be able to reach Xibao within two days, the railway was destroyed, and all the logistics materials such as tanks and heavy artillery of the Japanese army could only be completed by road, which was undoubtedly good news.

The bad news is that the Japanese troops advancing along the railway have no logistical problems at all, and even destroying the bridge will make no difference, so, if nothing else, they may be on the front line of Lashio tomorrow.
