Looking down from a high position of more than 2,000 meters on the Shan Plateau, it was not very difficult to find out the approximate location of the Japanese artillery positions, and more than 200 helicopter gunships quietly circled the enemy's rear and suddenly hit the enemy's artillery positions.

It was precisely because of this idea that after the order was issued, Jiang Haoran did not take this matter to heart at all.

Putting down the war briefing in his hand, Jiang Haoran clasped his hands in front of his chest, his right hand habitually rubbed his chin, and the expression on his face was not relaxed.

Today's battle is not fierce, it can only be regarded as a tentative attack by the Japanese army, but the casualties are still approaching 3,000, especially the new 38th Division, the casualties account for half of the total, this is thanks to today's bad weather, the Japanese planes did not come to join the formation, otherwise the casualties may have to increase exponentially, and if this continues, the new 38th Division may be consumed in a few days.

Jiang Haoran's expression was dazed, and he shouted at Mei Xiang: "Take over the new 38th Division headquarters!" ”

Mei Xiang hurriedly shook the phone on the table, "Hey, Senior Sun?" I'm Secretary Mei, oh, it's Deputy Division Commander Yu."

Mei Xiang held down the microphone and asked Jiang Haoran if he wanted to change Sun Liren to listen to the phone, Jiang Haoran stepped forward, picked up the phone and said, "Let Sun Liren listen to the phone?" ”

Yu Xueqi's voice came from the microphone: "General seat, Senior Commander Sun has gone to the front to inspect the defense, and I will order someone to find him back." ”

"That's it, then there's no need, I just want to know how you fought this battle, the little devil hasn't crossed the river today, and the plane hasn't appeared, how can your casualties be so big, can this battle continue?"

"This" Yu Xueqi was speechless for a while, and only replied after a few seconds: "General seat, don't you know, the Japanese artillery fire is too fierce, the Qiwu Mountain artillery group is nothing, and the 150-mm heavy cannon is probably twenty or thirty, and the whole earth is shaking when it explodes, and the casualties of the soldiers are mainly caused by the artillery attack." ”

Jiang Haoran held the phone and was silent, and Yu Xueqi's careful inquiry voice came from the microphone: "Chief seat, are you still there?" ”

Jiang Haoran said: "I know, you hurry up and build the fortifications, I will transfer another batch of steel plates and logs to you, and you will reinforce the fortifications again overnight, I don't want to see you so many casualties tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Boss, promise to complete the mission!" Yu Xueqi's happy voice came from the microphone.

Putting down the phone, Jiang Haoran immediately ordered the logistics department to transport some more steel plates and logs to the new 38th Division, and there happened to be a batch of steel plates in the Japanese army's material warehouse, which could come in handy.

Lighting a cigarette, Jiang Haoran's eyes began to blur, and he didn't even know that Wu Chaowen walked in front of him.

"Boss, what do you want?"

Jiang Haoran's expression was grim, and he looked at Wu Chaowen and said: "Chief of Staff, it seems that something is wrong, I suspect that the 1st Guards Division of the Japanese Army is not equipped with an artillery wing, but a heavy artillery brigade?" ”

Wu Chaowen's body trembled, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "This? Impossible, right? ”

The Japanese heavy artillery brigade is a strategic level of troops, before the 77 incident, Japan has formed five heavy artillery brigades, one brigade is deployed in the island country, and the remaining four brigades are all deployed to China, of which the Kwantung Army is deployed two, and the remaining two, one is deployed in North China, and the other is assigned to Central China.

The Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Wuhan, they have appeared in these large-scale battles, and the national army has suffered a lot in their hands, and Wu Chaowen even experienced it personally when he was on the battlefield of Songhu, when the 93rd Division was ordered to defend the Baoshan position, and almost all the officers and men of one of his brigades died under the enemy's heavy artillery, so when he suddenly heard the news, he unconsciously trembled, and he really had palpitations.

A standard heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army has two heavy artillery wings, including 30-40 heavy cannons of the Taisho seven-year type 150mm caliber, 20 heavy cannons of the 96 type 240 caliber, 10 heavy howitzers of the 96 type 305 caliber, and some heavy artillery brigades are also equipped with 3-6 mortars of the 98 type 320 caliber.

The power of these heavy cannons is not a joke, it is really scary to blow up, such as the 240 heavy cannon of the 96 type, the weight of his shells has reached 185 kilograms, and when loading, it needs to use a special loading vehicle to fit into the gun chamber, its range has reached 16 kilometers, and the killing radius when it explodes on the ground is more than 80 meters, if such a shell hits the field fortifications, at least one platoon of troops must be crossed out of the formation, The soldiers in the fortifications were not killed by the explosion, but also by the huge shock wave. As for the larger caliber 320-mm mortar, the shell weight alone reached 300 kilograms, not to mention the power, basically a shell down, if it hit the fortifications, a company of soldiers would evaporate from the world.

Jiang Haoran said in a deep voice: "It's really possible, I just called the new 38th Division, Yu Xueqi told me that the enemy not only has a mountain artillery group, but also twenty or thirty 150mm heavy cannons, and the Japanese artillery wing has added a 150mm howitzer to the establishment is reasonable, but twenty or thirty 150mm heavy cannons are a bit abnormal, plus I carefully read the battle report of the new 38th Division, the Japanese army launched two attacks in the morning, launched an attack in the afternoon, and the three attacks were all broken at the touch of a button, I suspect that they are just touching our firing points and defensive strength, and the real offensive may be tomorrow. ”

Wu Chaowen said suspiciously: "General seat, now the Japanese army is eager to destroy our defense line immediately, in order to save the six divisions in northern Burma from fire and water, to touch our firepower point It is enough for them to attack twice in the morning, and besides, so many heavy artillery plows once, the new 38th Division is not enough to see how many troops they have, is it necessary for them to let us live one more night?" ”

"Humph!" Jiang Haoran snorted coldly and said: "Of course, the little devils wish that we died as soon as possible, the reason why they did not cover the artillery fire today and attack with all their strength is that their heavy artillery is still on the way, the railway was bombed, the road was destroyed, and it will take time to repair it, plus, it is probably not easy for these big guys to transport, and it is impossible to reach the speed of the infantry." ”

"Ah tomorrow?" Seeing that Jiang Haoran said that he had a nose and eyes, Wu Chaowen was a little blind, and his worried expression was overflowing.

"Don't worry, I won't let them appear on the battlefield tomorrow." Jiang Haoran said fiercely.

"Souza, what can you do?" Wu Chaowen's eyes lit up, and his breathing became short.

"Order: Immediately call the Sino-Michiel Joint Flying Team, mobilize all reconnaissance planes to search inch by inch along the railway and highway from Lashio to Mandalay, and not let go of any suspicious target, and all fighters and 100 bombers that can be mobilized will then set off, and destroy the Japanese convoy and train as soon as they are discovered."

"Order: The Lashio helicopter squadron immediately withdraws from its current combat mission, returns to the base to refuel and reload, and prepares for departure."

"Order: Snow Wolf Special Combat Team and Airborne Brigade I, based on the transport capacity of transport helicopters, can load as much as they want, ready to leave at any time!"

Jiang Haoran issued three orders, and the entire headquarters began to get busy, and the radio and telephone in the telecommunications room rang even louder.

Just when the order was given, Su Canwen also sent an urgent telegram, just now he led more than 200 armed helicopters to raid the Japanese artillery position, but the result was empty, during the day, I clearly saw the Japanese artillery shells fired from two low-lying places, but when they outflanked the past from the rear and bombarded indiscriminately, they found that all of them were fake cannons set up by trees, and the enemy's artillery fire was nowhere to be seen, and the enemy also arranged a dense anti-aircraft fire network around it, causing more than 20 helicopters to crash on the spot.

With a "snap", Jiang Haoran slapped the table, and a few words popped out from between his teeth, "Bastard!" ”

He has always been the only calculating little devil, but he didn't expect to capsize in the gutter, and the loss of troops is still second, and there is no place for this breath.

"Chief of Staff, how much do you know about this Nishimura Takumui?"

Jiang Haoran's eyes showed a fierce light, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and his body exuded a strong murderous aura, which made Wu Chaowen swallow two mouthfuls of saliva unconsciously, before he replied: "Nishimura Takuma, 28 years old, graduated from the Japanese Army University, artillery department, Japanese lieutenant general division commander, has never been on the Chinese battlefield, what made him famous was the Zhang Gufeng incident on the Manchurian-Mongolian border two years ago, he was still the wing captain of the artillery wing at the time, and it was he who personally led the department to dig a trench on the road of the Soviet tank cluster and ambush it, Using bazookas to attack Soviet tanks at close range, he won a great victory, was regarded as the 'flower of famous generals' by the Japanese army, and was given a sword by the emperor of the island country. ”

"Hmph, 'Flower of Famous Generals'? Still 'prestigious'? I'm fucking the ball! Jiang Haoran looked contemptuous and scolded angrily, he remembered that this kid copied his tactics of destroying the Japanese tank wing at the Nanchang front in the battle of Zhang Gufeng, but he didn't expect that it was himself who fulfilled him.

However, he also saw that this kid must have studied himself, so he rushed to him to calculate that he was going to attack his artillery position, and also used this artillery position to set up himself, which showed that he was not a straw bag, but still had some real skills.

The night is beautiful, the sky is full of stars, and a bright moon hangs high, indicating that tomorrow will be another sunny and good weather.

In the direction of Mandalay, on the road, about 40 kilometers from Sibao, a large convoy is slowly moving along the road.

The roar of the machines rang out, but not a single light could be seen in the endless convoy, and all the cars were covered with thick camouflage, and the piercing muzzles of the camouflage could be faintly seen.

On both sides of the highway were densely packed with heavily armed soldiers, their guns in their hands, vigilantly advancing in all directions, as if they were afraid that a team would suddenly come out of the rice fields and banana groves.
