Chapter 965: Commander of the Navy and Army

Jiang Haoran hesitated for a moment and replied: "There is no other way, only to strengthen the anti-aircraft firepower on both sides of the strait, I think our headquarters also has to move, this bridgehead has a good view, a good location, and is also very safe, and the planes used to deal with the enemy are no better, and they cannot be wasted." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's move quickly?" Huang Jie was a little impatient.

At this moment, Mei Xiang hurriedly walked in, and the telegram reporting the airborne brigade arrived, and both of them suddenly became a little nervous, and they had been waiting for this telegram all night. The key to whether this battle can be fought lies in whether the airborne brigade can defeat Lashio and hold on to it as scheduled, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Liu Xianwei's telegram was very detailed, basically explaining everything that happened last night, and the sinister intentions of the Japanese army made Jiang Haoran and Huang Jie sigh, and they were secretly glad that they had made some adjustments, and these electronic jamming equipment still played a huge role at the critical moment.

At the same time, it was also confirmed that their plan had indeed been leaked in advance, and as for whether it was leaked from Leng Ruxue, it remains to be investigated, but the suspicion in front of her is the greatest.

In any case, the news brought by the airborne brigade is not too bad, although the casualties are not small, but it finally occupied Lashio, and successfully joined the Burmese army in Aung San, the most important thing, Liu Xianwei also mentioned that when the telegram was sent, they had found the Japanese army's material cache, and successfully seized this batch of materials from the hands of the Japanese army, all the materials were intact, the fuel was sufficient, even if hundreds of helicopters were squandered, it was enough to toss for ten days and half a month.

Jiang Haoran didn't think that Liu Xianwei was bragging, no matter how the Japanese army said it, it was semi-mechanized logistics, and there was an independent tank wing, so fuel was naturally indispensable.

At this point, the strategic intention of occupying Lashio to cut off the logistics channel of the Japanese army and to pocket the supplies of the six divisions of the Japanese army has been fully achieved, and the remaining question is how to hold Lashio, and then, the large army quickly crossed the river, passed through Ruigu, and formed a line with Lashio to build a steel defense line, so as to achieve the strategic goal of cutting off the retreat of the Japanese troops on the northern front and realizing the strategic goal of encircling the Japanese army jointly with the troops in western Yunnan.

Jiang Haoran immediately ordered the helicopter brigade to take off immediately and put 200 armed helicopters and 100 transport helicopters into Lashio at one time. As long as there is fuel and ammunition carried by these 100 transport helicopters, Liu Xianwei can toss for a while.

Because of the generosity of the United States, the one-time aid to the expeditionary force of 500 helicopters, plus their original four or five hundred, the number of helicopters has increased significantly, the team is getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Haoran temporarily set up a helicopter brigade, the captain of the brigade is the former deputy captain of the 40th Group Army Flight Brigade Du Tianci, under the jurisdiction of five armed helicopter squadrons, three transport helicopter squadrons, each squadron is equipped with 100 helicopters, the establishment belongs to the expeditionary force directly under the organization.

Of course, this is still the expeditionary force, in fact, the Baoshan base and the 331 base have retained the number and establishment of helicopters.

As a large number of helicopters were put into the battlefield, Jiang Haoran equipped every army and division of the expeditionary force with a certain number of helicopters for search, rescue, reconnaissance and other purposes.

Seven or eight Erlikon 20-millimeter machine guns were moved into the bridgehead, and the headquarters was also moved to the division headquarters of the 28th division of the original defenders, not far from the bridgehead, only about a mile, located on the edge of the jungle, a row of wooden houses with very good anti-counterfeiting.

The most important thing is that the view is also good, walk up the mountain for more than ten minutes, and you can see the entire forward battlefield.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Haoran ordered the guards to find a marching bed, he had not slept all night last night, and he took advantage of this time to quickly catch up on sleep.

But he was born to work hard, and as soon as he lay down, he didn't close his eyes, and Huang Jie entered the report, Zhou Zhirou, commander-in-chief of the Air Force, and Chen Shaokuan, commander-in-chief of the Navy, came to Myanmar, and they were already on their way to the headquarters at this time.

"What, what are they doing here?" Jiang Haoran ejected, he really didn't know what the intention of the Military Commission was, he said that he was here to inspect, the Expeditionary Force Air Force did have it, but the Navy did not have a soldier or a boat, what did he Chen Shaokuan inspect, even if it was Zhou Zhirou, the commander of the Air Force, who still didn't know that he Jiang Haoran was not dealing with him, what was he sending here at this time, tactical guidance? Bullshit, the expeditionary force still has his turn to point fingers?

Huang Jie didn't know the turmoil in Jiang Haoran's heart, and he was suspicious: "Yes, what are they doing here, and they didn't say hello in advance, after the people arrived at Yingduo Station, they notified the command and pointed out the person who asked Brother You Qing to pick them up, and they didn't let us be notified, otherwise we would have to go to the train station to meet us, right?" ”

Jiang Haoran pursed his lips and said, "It's not a fart!" Lao Tzu went to pick them up? Hell yes! Even if they are self-aware, they do not inform me, lest they lose face when they get it. ”

"Hey, hey!" Huang Jie smiled embarrassedly: "General seat, no matter how you say it, they are all members of the above, representing the leader and the Military Commission, although you don't have a good relationship with them, but the etiquette on this scene still has to be taken care of, this person is almost at the headquarters, so I still have to go out to greet him." ”

Jiang Haoran waved his hand and said domineeringly: "You go and receive them first, I have to sleep." "Lie down directly.

Huang Jie shook his head helplessly, and was just about to leave, Mei Xiang came in with a telegram to report, and Chen Chen sent an urgent telegram in his private name, and the message was sent to Jiang Haoran.

Helpless, Jiang Haoran had no choice but to sit up again, take the telegram and look at it, then looked up at Huang Jie coldly and said: "You reported to the Military Commission that we made a naval battle plan for the Mi Army?" ”

Huang Jie was confused and said, "No wow? ”

Chen Chen naturally knew that Jiang Haoran was a little uncomfortable with Zhou Zhirou, and he was really afraid that he would throw his face at others, so he specially sent this telegram, to the effect that he warned Jiang Haoran not to know what was wrong, the arrival of these two people was the result of his and his wife's mediation, and the Military Commission could not give other support to the expeditionary force, but also knew that this battle was extremely difficult, and specially ordered Zhou Zhirou to come to support, and the planes of the party-state had all been bound for Kunming Wujiaba Airport, which could support Burma at any time.

As for the commander of the navy, Chen Shaokuan, it was because the Military Commission learned that Jiang Haoran was going to formulate a naval battle plan for the United States, so he was specially sent to assist.

In the big battle in front of him, Jiang Haoran naturally wanted to report to the Military Commission, but the matter of formulating the naval battle plan was not mentioned at all, and Huang Jie did not say anything, so it could only be reported by Luo Zhuoying.

Jiang Haoran understands that the chairman of the committee sent Chen Shaokuan over at this time, and it is false to formulate a plan, and it is true that he hopes that Chen Shaokuan will appear on the ships of the United States, to put it bluntly, if the Chinese generals can really put up a position in the navy of the United States to participate in the naval battle, the chairman hopes that this person will be Chen Shaokuan, not him Jiang Haoran.
