In the evening, an observation post near the headquarters of the expeditionary force in the Hukang Valley.

Jiang Haoran held a telescope and was observing the movements of the Japanese army under the mountain.

Because the Japanese army could not hold out on to Mina, and there was no news of the Japanese attack in the Hukang River Valley, which greatly surprised him, Jiang Haoran was not at ease and hurriedly rushed back from Mina. Considering that the Japanese army did not attack, there were only three transport helicopters that came back, loaded with a team of twelve people led by Jiang Shi of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, and of course, Leng Rushuang and the Mei sisters.

Helicopters can land at will, and it is only a hundred miles from the Hukang River Valley to Mina, and Jiang Haoran can shuttle between the two places at any time under the condition of complete control of air supremacy.

"Chief of Staff, something is wrong!" Putting down the binoculars, Jiang Haoran yelled at Huang Jie.

Huang Jie looked nervous and said, "What's wrong, the Japanese army hasn't changed much at all?" ”

Jiang Haoran said: "It's because there is no change that something is wrong, the two tank trenches and four infantry trenches of the Japanese army are about to be dug through, but the troops can't see the slightest offensive situation." ”

Huang Jie also raised the telescope to take a closer look, and said suspiciously: "Hey, the Japanese army has not increased its troops to the front, and the tanks have no intention of crossing the river, so there is really no offensive posture, could it be that the Japanese army does not plan to attack?" ”

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the Japanese army to know that there are still 70 helicopters hidden in the Hukang River Valley, and after the 50 helicopters that appeared left the Hukang River Valley, the Japanese army should take this opportunity to attack on a large scale, and even when the expeditionary force attacked Mi, it was obviously a super waste to use this time to dig trenches, although the artillery fire was powerful, but compared to the threat of helicopters, it was simply not at the same level, and it was impossible for the Japanese army not to understand, unless they had no intention of attacking the Hukang River Valley.

But this is not in line with the current situation of the Japanese army, at this time, Luo Zhuoying's Fifth Army has been out of Mengguan for dozens of miles, according to the plan, they no longer need to hide, in fact, such a long distance, it is already very difficult to safely avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese army, and at this time, the British army is also on the way to Homarin, even if the Fifth Army can continue to be invisible, the British army may not have this ability. Therefore, at this time, the troops have entered the stage of advancing at full speed, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to have not found their traces, once the direction of the Fifth Army's march is exposed, the plan to attack Yingduo is basically impossible to hide, and Yingduo will immediately face the two-way attack of the expeditionary force, and the only thing the Japanese army can do is to find a way from Mina and the Hukang River valley to break one of its wings to solve the danger of Yingduo, in other words, the Japanese army has no time to wait, so the abnormality at this time suddenly aroused Jiang Haoran's vigilance.

Jiang Haoran's expression was dazed, and he said hurriedly: "Rushuang, immediately send a report to the Fifth Army, Meng Gong, and Mina, and see if they have any abnormal initiatives?" ”

Leng Rushuang hurried away in response, but Huang Jie frowned and asked, "General seat, do you think the strategic focus of the Japanese army has shifted?" ”

Jiang Haoran nodded from time to time, and sometimes shook his head, which made Huang Jie confused, but seeing that he looked serious, as if he was thinking far away, he didn't continue to ask, but he was already faintly uneasy in his heart.

Soon Leng Rushuang came back and reported that the Fifth Army was advancing at full speed, that there was no resistance on the way, and that they would surely reach Homarin on time in the early hours of the morrow, and that they would attack. Meng Gong did not find any movement of the Japanese army, and in the direction of Yingduo, Liu Bao had set up a checkpoint dozens of miles away, and no Japanese ships in Hanoi were found on the surface of the Inovady River. Mina had been under the surveillance of several helicopters, and the Japanese troops in the city had no intention of coming out at all.

After listening to the cold report, Jiang Haoran's brows furrowed into the word "Sichuan", and he muttered to himself: "This is fucking weird, what are the Japanese soldiers waiting for?" Aside from fighting the Hukang Valley and Mina, does he have a second way to go? ”

Leng Rushuang on the side interjected and said, "Could it be that the Japanese army has found a way to deal with helicopters and is now seizing the time to prepare?" ”

"This won't!" Jiang Haoran replied affirmatively, "In addition to fighter jets, helicopters are simply 616161616161 fighters?" Fighter plane? Oh no, I'm afraid the Japanese army is waiting for the Air Force to regain air supremacy! ”

Jiang Haoran suddenly screamed, which startled Huang Jie, and replied curtly: "This is impossible, now the US military in the Pacific Theater has not given up fighting with the Japanese army for the Pacific islands, and it is impossible for the Japanese navy to transfer all its air power to Burma, and the fifth flight regiment of the Japanese army has been disabled by us, and it is impossible for it to recover its vitality within three days. Can the Japanese army do it? ”

"Under normal circumstances, it is impossible, but now the Japanese army may not be. It is certainly impossible for the Japanese navy to go all out, but the Burma battlefield is enough to arouse the attention of the Japanese base camp, and it is entirely possible to rebuild the Fifth Flying Regiment in the short term. Jiang Haoran said.

"Ah, so what do we do now? You can't just wait here for the Japanese planes, right? Cold as frost and urgent.

"No, we have to take action, the battle of the Hukang Valley can only be abandoned, we retreat!"

Huang Jie exclaimed: "Retreat? As long as we move, the 38th Division of the Japanese Army will immediately chase after us, you must know that the mobility of the Japanese army is much stronger than ours, and we have no way to compare with them in terms of speed, if the Japanese army in Mina goes all out to block, and we lose air supremacy, if the advantage of helicopters is gone, will the two armies not be trapped by the Japanese army in this jungle from the Hukang River Valley to Mina? ”

Jiang Haoran said: "Before retreating, first solve the wing that has crossed the Hukang River Valley, and then send a regiment to hold the river valley for one night, to block the Japanese tentative crossing of the river, as long as we can buy us a night's time, the troops can join the 66th Army of Mina, the two armies quickly retreat to Menggong, as long as they reach Menggong, the defeat of the Japanese army has been decided, and there is no way to return to the sky."

Huang Jie said again: "The Japanese army will not be too stupid, if we attack rashly at this time, he will definitely think that we are ready to retreat, not to mention the tentative attack, the battlefield in the river valley is a vast open land, although the sight is not good at night, but the Japanese army can completely shoot flares on the position, so it is clear at a glance." ”

"Yes, what you said makes sense, but we can let the soldiers from now on, each person will tie a straw man, and then put clothes on the straw man, and at night, put the straw man on the position to replace himself, from the opposite hill to our position, the distance is not short, even if they shoot flares, it is not a problem to temporarily confuse the Japanese army." Jiang Haoran said.
