As soon as Chen Mianwu's voice fell, Jiang Haoran said in a deep voice: "Zhou Benye! ”

"Here!"

Not far away, an iron-like body rushed all the way, standing and saluting in front of Jiang Haoran, and said in a loud voice: "Report to the general seat, Zhou Benye, the colonel of the third airborne regiment of the special operations division, came to report, please give instructions to the general seat!" ”

Jiang Haoran returned the salute and said with a smile: "Ben Ye, I've been idle for more than a year, and I haven't had any problems, right?" ”

Zhou Benye is about 1.80 meters tall, with a broad waist and round shoulders, and a large special combat uniform is worn on his body, but his arms and chest are still bulging, and he looks like a strength type. As soon as Jiang Haoran's words fell, he immediately grinned, showing his white teeth and said: "Boss, you still know me, I have been locked up in the Baoshan base for more than a year, and I have been practicing non-stop every day, not only I am suffocated, but the brothers are suffocated, as soon as I hear that it is finally our turn, not to mention how happy the brothers are, they are all like taking a new daughter-in-law." ”

Zhou Benye is a native of Zhumadian, Henan, and his dialect taste is relatively heavy, but Jiang Haoran can also understand it. He was originally from the 73rd Army, the predecessor of the 73rd Army was the main force of the Northeast Army, and after the reorganization, he participated in the Great Wall War of Resistance and the Eastern Hebei War of Resistance. Therefore, he can be regarded as a veteran, and when he entered the special operations division, he was a major and battalion commander, and he was regarded as the highest-ranking officer and soldier who came to participate in the competition. Although it was not brought out by Jiang Haoran from Nanshan, he had a good performance in the Battle of Dawei Mountain and the Battle of Mantou Mountain.

"Hehe, okay, then this battle is up to you, don't embarrass Lao Tzu!"

"Don't worry, head office, leave it all to us, you can watch from the command platform!" Zhou Benye patted his chest and said.

Jiang Haoran nodded slightly and said, "Well, are you ready?" Are tank troops and signal troops already in place, command platform? Where is the podium? ”

Zhou Benye said: "It's all ready, our tank soldiers have entered the tank with walkie-talkies, the signal troops have set up an information platform, and the command platform is built on the hillside behind us, so you can watch the entire battlefield." ”

The battle plan was drawn up by Jiang Haoran and Chu Zhongtian early on, although they did not expect the enemy to attack the Menggong Heights so quickly, but it was also specially prepared to deal with them. When Chu Zhongtian received Jiang Haoran's airborne order, he immediately knew that the plan was in advance, so Jiang Haoran didn't need to explain these preparations again, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Following the direction of Zhou Benye's finger, Jiang Haoran looked up and looked ahead, his eyesight was excellent, and the night was the same as the day, although the distance was a mile away, he could still see the figure on the top of the mountain.

Immediately, Jiang Haoran called out Sun Liren again and ordered him to hand over all the troops of the new 38th Division to Zhou Benye, and he would arrange the attack of the second echelon.

The new 38th Division is the strongest team of the 66th Army, and it is also the most complete source of weapons and equipment, after the first battle of Mina, there are still more than 9,000 troops, plus 4,000 people of the airborne regiment, and the attacking force has also reached more than 13,000 people, in Jiang Haoran's opinion, it is enough to deal with the enemy in front of him.

After arranging everything, several armored cars drove over, and Jiang Haoran ordered all the officers who had no combat mission to get on the cars and go to the front to observe the battle, and threatened that this was a battle that would open everyone's eyes.

Meng Gong front, the Japanese position.

There was a cool breeze on the ridge, and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air was still thick, but even thicker was the strong smell of blood and compound gases.

A few hours ago, tens of thousands of troops were strangled here, and shelling, machine gun fire, and hand-to-hand combat were staged here in turn, and the tragic scene can be imagined, and even the corpses on the ground can be described as piled up.

The efficiency of the Japanese army was really good, and it was only two or three hours before the end of the battle, but the Japanese army had already cleared out the entire defense line several miles long, and carried the corpses of their own people down the mountain and transported them back by car. The corpses of the expeditionary force were thrown directly under the position, and several bulldozers rumbled to push the earth down and bury it on the spot.

The weather in Burma was hot and the temperature was high, and it didn't take two days for the corpses to rot and stink, and the Japanese army didn't want the plague and disease to spread in their positions, so they had to deal with it.

Responsible for the attack is the Japanese 16th Division, the battle of Mina, the 16th Division also suffered nearly half of the casualties, not miserable, but the 16th Division is also one of the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army, after entering Burma, the strength has increased on the original basis, reaching 50,000 people, so, the wounded tendons are inevitable, but there is still some distance to move the bones.

The commander of the division, Nakajima Imasa, once again exerted his usual fierce combat style, personally led more than 20,000 subordinates to launch a decisive charge, and finally took the Menggong Heights.

At this moment, the commander of the division, Imago Nakajima, and the chief of staff, Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa, looked into the distance from the ridge. The light in the valley opposite was so strong that half of the sky was illuminated, and the two were puzzled, just now the dense planes of the expeditionary force flew over Meng Gong, and they agreed that this was the expeditionary force began to take advantage of the night to drop supplies, but at this moment it was a strong light area, even if it was ground guidance, it did not need such a strong light. Therefore, they had to suspect that the expeditionary force had another conspiracy, but unfortunately the opposite mountain was almost level with their position, and it was impossible to see what was going on in the valley.

"Nakajima-kun, will the person you said be airdropping airborne troops again, the material airdrop does not need such a strong light, but if it is an airborne soldier, in order to avoid airborne damage, it is completely necessary to have sufficient sight." Nakazawa Mifu said.

"Shhh Nakajima took a breath and looked sideways at Nakazawa Sanfu, who seemed to be a little moved, the lack of strength of the expeditionary force was obvious, and they had already airdropped more than once, during the day, the imperial army fully controlled the air supremacy, and it was entirely possible for them to use the night time to carry out the airdrop.

Nakajima's lips squirmed, and just as he was about to say something, a soldier trotted all the way over to report that the sentry in front had found that the army was retreating, and it was abandoning all defensive lines and retreating in general.

"Total retreat?" Nakajima Imago exclaimed, as if he couldn't believe this result, and walked a few quick steps to the front, trying to look down the mountain with his eyes wide open.

The second line of defense of the expeditionary force was at the foot of the hillside, only three or four hundred meters away from the defense line of the imperial army, and the vision was limited at night, and a waning moon in the sky could not increase much visibility.
