The 200th Division could not arrive at Yingduo as scheduled to launch an offensive against the enemy in Yingduo, which meant that the Japanese army had one more day to deal with the 66th and 75th armies of the expeditionary force on the Eastern Front, and Jiang Haoran had a heavy burden on his shoulders.

But the bad news did not end there, and at about 8 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army really did as Jiang Haoran thought, dispatched dozens of night fighters, and once again frantically bombed and machine-gun fire on the retreat of the 75th Army.

It was already a very difficult thing to march at night on a road that was bombarded with potholes, and the troops with torches became live targets for Japanese planes in an instant, and this sudden and frenzied bombing and strafing brought huge casualties to the 75th Army, and both the tank regiment and the automobile regiment were damaged to varying degrees.

Although it is the middle of April, there is a bright moon hanging in the sky, but the trees in the sky make the road in the jungle extremely mottled under the moonlight, and it is basically impossible to distinguish the craters on the road without torches. The enemy planes were so mixed up that the troops were forced to stop their advance again.

When the news reached the temporary general headquarters of the expeditionary force, Jiang Haoran's lungs were about to explode, and the Japanese army made it clear that he was pinched as a soft persimmon, and after the command headquarters rushed back and forth a few times, Jiang Haoran immediately ordered to send a telegram to Ye Zhaofeng, ordering the flight brigade of the 40th Group Army to be dispatched as a whole, and if possible, it could take joint action with the Flying Tigers. Annihilating all the enemy's night fighters is still secondary, the focus is on the chasing soldiers behind and the Japanese garrison in Mina, launching a round of carpet bombing, the Japanese army wants to play, he doesn't mind going out to play bigger, you make Lao Tzu unhappy, Lao Tzu will dig out your heart.

At the same time, Jiang Haoran did not forget to order Ye Zhaofeng to send one or two wolf warrior transport planes to find the whereabouts of the snow wolf special combat team and give them supply airdrops.

The Japanese army has always had night fighters, but they are rarely used for large night attacks, and are basically only used for night reconnaissance. Before the advent of radar, the possibility of all-weather combat was not possible for fighters. The high-altitude discrimination of night fighters is completely based on the naked eye, and at most with ground guidance, this leads to a pilot who can't cope with it at all, so there are basically more than two members. Moreover, in order to improve the air stay time and better search for ground targets, twin engines are basically used, and the fuselage is relatively heavy.

Therefore, the night fighter does not seek speed and sportiness, but emphasizes endurance and firepower. As a result, night fighters rarely appear during the day, because the chances of survival of night fighters are almost negligible in the face of ordinary day fighters.

But the Japanese army probably never dreamed that Jiang Haoran already had world-leading radar technology, and the fighters had broken through the barriers of all-weather combat, and these dozens of night fighters could be regarded as paying for their ignorance.

In less than an hour, there was a sudden loud explosion in the sky, the roar of a cannon. Jiang Haoran quickly rushed out of the tent and saw with his own eyes a Japanese fighter plane disintegrating in the air, and then a Mustang fighter flew over his head.

"Well, well done!" Jiang Haoran waved his fists excitedly, and he was very happy.

Soon, the walkie-talkie sounded, and Ye Zhaofeng's voice came clearly, reporting to Jiang Haoran that they had completely annihilated the Japanese night fighters, a total of thirty-six. Chennault's Flying Tigers also participated in the operation, and they dispatched more than 300 fighters and bombers to prepare for the next bombing plan.

Jiang Haoran immediately ordered Ye Zhaofeng to casually blow him up for an hour on a dog day, the 40th Army is short of fuel, but there is no shortage of bullets and shells, and he didn't dare to put a fart when he was blown up by the Japanese army during the day, and he had already come out anyway this night, and the fuel that shouldn't have been consumed was also consumed, and he didn't earn enough money at one time, and he couldn't take care of himself for a life on his dog day.

As soon as the order was issued, Jiang Haoran took a few women and guards, and went up a high hillside, and intuitively witnessed the grand occasion of the planes bombing Mina, he had good eyesight, and saw with his own eyes more than 100 Mustang and P-40 fighters repeatedly dropping bombs and diving and strafing the city of Mina, and the whole city was shrouded in explosions and bullets, like a grand fireworks festival, and the scene was magnificent.

On the road from the Liangmiao River to the Hukang River Valley, at this moment it is also a fire dragon extending all the way to the north, especially near the Liangmiao River, a large number of Japanese cars, tanks, and armored vehicles are almost blocked on the north bank of the Liangmiao River, and the Japanese army could not imagine that Jiang Haoran could still launch an air attack at night, almost without any precautions, all of them were parked in the temporary parking lots on both sides of the highway, and they were simply destroyed by this round of bombing.

The Liangmiao Bridge, which had not been blown up, was swept by a bomber at a low altitude and dropped two aerial bombs of at least 500 pounds, destroying only a few piers.

Just when the planes were bombing, the Snow Wolf special combat team had arrived at the chain bridge in the lower reaches of the Liangmiao River after more than an hour of running.

But Su Canwen stopped the team members at this moment, and the team members who had already boarded the bridge also quickly retreated, looking at Su Canwen in puzzlement, they couldn't understand his initiative, seeing that victory was just around the corner, they were like dragons entering the sea after crossing the bridge, why did they stop.

The chain bridge is composed of seven wrist-thick iron cables, two on the left and right, three on the bridge deck, paved with wooden planks, two meters wide bridge deck, people walk on it and sway, below is the rushing and roaring flood, people on the bridge for the first time will inevitably be afraid. Therefore, Su Canwen's hesitation made Xiaodao think that he was scared, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Captain, don't worry, this bridge is absolutely safe, but it looks a little scary, if you are afraid, you close your eyes and I will lead you away, and I will guarantee that it is okay." ”

Su Canwen looked at the other side with a confused look in his eyes, and replied, "Xiaodao, didn't you cross the bridge and get to Mina?" ”

"Yes, cross the bridge and cross the jungle for thirty miles, and you will reach Mina." The knife replied, the little guy was full of thoughts, thinking that Su Canwen was worried that they would not be able to pass through Mina, and then said: "Mina and Lewa are a long and narrow triangle with this place, but we can completely skip Mina, I can take you directly to Leva." ”

Su Canwen didn't answer the knife's question, he already faintly felt that there was a murderous aura in the jungle on the other side, which was a sense of smell that a special combat team leader must have.
