However, the trenches of the expeditionary force were already on fire at the moment, and from a distance, a fiery dragon was rolling in front of it, but it didn't seem to have much effect on the line of sight, and no matter how hard Nakajima tried to get it, he still didn't get anything.

"Order, the search team will immediately come forward to reconnoiter and find out the true map of the enemy?" Nakajima howled.

The herald turned to leave, Nakajima Jinchaowu's eyes were also confused, and the expeditionary force in front of him suddenly retreated, which seemed to him to be very abnormal, although the first line of defense had fallen into the hands of the imperial army, but Meng Gong was very important to them, there was no reason to give up, and this was not Jiang Haoran's combat style.

Conspiracy, must be a conspiracy! Nakajima thought so.

But Chief of Staff Nakazawa Sanfu did not think so, in his opinion, at this time, Meng Gong's defenders of the 75th Army were a remnant army, and the defensive force was already weak, and after losing the most favorable high ground in Meng Gong, the expeditionary force had lost the meaning of stubbornly defending, and stubborn resistance could only increase casualties.

At this time, the expeditionary force must know that the follow-up troops of the imperial army will start a full-scale attack on Meng Gong tomorrow, and the absolute air supremacy, coupled with the infantry and tanks that are multiple to them, will form a crushing situation against them all the way. Therefore, retreating at this time is the wisest choice.

This is also in line with Jiang Haoran's cunning, at this time, shrink the forces and make every effort to consolidate the Yingduo defense line, they still have a chance to survive. Mitsuo Nakazawa even boldly estimated that it was very likely that troops had landed in the valley opposite just now. The airborne troops are affected by many factors such as troops, venues, and airlift capabilities, and they can never be too many, and at most three or four thousand people are remarkable, and it is obviously unrealistic for these people to attack and recapture the high ground, and it is a good move to cover the retreat.

"Yo Xi!" Nakajima Imago cast an appreciative look at Mitsuo Nakazawa, his analysis is very reasonable, and it is completely in line with the current predicament of the expeditionary force, and other than that, it really does not mean that the future of the expeditionary force is.

The herald soon returned to report that the search team had entered the trenches of the expeditionary force, that they had indeed fully retreated, that there was not a single person in the trenches, that even the supplies that could not be taken were drenched with gasoline and burned, and that they had gone hastily and thoroughly.

Nakajima Imago suddenly looked happy, this was definitely good news, and he was hesitating to order the troops to pursue with all his might.

Suddenly, as if he had heard something, he looked back to the north and listened intently, yes, he heard the roar of a machine in the sky, it was an airplane.

The air base of the imperial army is in Bangkok, which belongs to the south, so naturally it is impossible to appear from the north, and the only possibility is that the air force of that person is coming, so I don't know what to airdrop this time?

Nakazawa Sanfu looked determined, insisting that his analysis was not wrong, the person had just put in the airborne troops, and at this moment he should provide Yingduo with weapons and ammunition and other materials, and actively prepare for war, once the imperial army approached Yingduo, it would immediately be besieged on three sides, and the imperial army fully controlled the air supremacy during the day, and they could choose, and they would use the night time to airdrop materials for the war of resistance.

Nakajima Imago also thought so, and ordered the herald to quickly notify several wing commanders to come to the headquarters for a meeting, and immediately draw up a plan for pursuit, and at the same time inform the troops in the rear to be ready to follow up at any time, and the time has come to make a contribution.

Suddenly, the notified captains had not yet arrived, but the planes in the sky appeared densely, although the moonlight was dim, and all that could be seen was small black dots, but the huge roar sounded, and no one would think it was a bird.

The plane was getting closer and clearer under the gaze of Nakajima Imago. The expression on Nakajima's face slowly became more and more wrong, and then it was completely distorted and deformed, and suddenly let out a hoarse shout: "Yaga, it's a fighter, it's a fighter!" Defensive, hidden, fast! ”

As Nakajima arrived and screamed, countless black shadows poured into the trenches, and Nakajima also moved his little short legs, running forward rapidly, and his round body just rolled into the trench, and a terrible sound of aerial bombs breaking through the air sounded overhead, and then the raindrops of aerial bombs exploded on the position with a "boom", and they were instantly connected.

Transport planes are larger and slower than fighter jets, and experienced veterans can tell them from a distance, let alone a war maniac like Nakajima Isago Asayo.

But even if he learned in advance, it was too late, without any precautions, the planes bombarded intensively, and the machine guns and cannons swept all the way, and this round of casualties of the imperial army was inevitable.

Moreover, it is not difficult to see from the sound of the aerial bombs and the explosion area that there are not only fighters in the sky, but also heavy bombers, because the fighters hang at most two 60-pound aerial bombs under the wings, but among the aerial bombs bombed on the position, I am afraid that the 500-pound aerial bombs will be smashed down in large quantities, which is the rhythm of blowing up the Menggong Heights a few meters lower.

From the beginning of the bombing, the guard units of the headquarters quickly stuffed a number of staff officers and generals, such as Nakajima Imago and Nakazawa Mitsuo, into the anti-artillery holes, and anyone could die, but they had to be kept.

In a short period of time, the command system of the Japanese army has been paralyzed, but this is not at all insignificant to the veterans of the permanent divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, and they can deal with such an unexpected situation without command at all. Anti-aircraft cannons and machine guns have already opened fire on their own, and other combat units have found favorable terrain to hide on their own, and if they don't have time to run, they don't have time to hide, and if they are bombed, you can only blame you for your short legs or bad luck.

The bombing lasted for more than ten minutes before it stopped, and there was no roar of planes in the sky, and Nakajima Isago and Nakazawa Mitsuo and their entourage, with the help of the guards and even planing and digging, came out of the anti-artillery holes, and they were all disgraced without exception.

Everything in front of them suddenly made them dumbfounded, and they reached the smoke of gunpowder, and there were unburned embers everywhere, the newly renovated trenches had been completely filled in, replaced by huge craters, and the positions were full of soldiers' stumps and broken arms, and the wounded soldiers in one place were crying wolf, and the sound was so miserable that people couldn't help but feel furious, suspected of going to hell.

Nakajima Jinchao had an epiphany at this moment, the retreat of the expeditionary force was completely to clean up the battlefield for the bombing, and it was by no means what Nakazawa Sanfu said to abandon Meng Gong and shrink his forces to consolidate Yingduo, and the burning fire dragon in the trenches was by no means a material that could not be taken away, but to provide ground guidance for the aircraft, but unfortunately he understood it too late.

"Baga, didn't you say that the man was retreating? I swear that I actually believe you pig! Nakajima grabbed Mitsuo Nakazawa's collar tightly, almost lifting him off the ground, his eyes wide and his teeth bared, as if he wanted to eat him in one bite.
