Chapter 739: A Strategy for Long-term Stability
Jiang Haoran smiled miserably and said, "The enemy disdains wasting ammunition on the 75th Army, since this morning, our 28th and 29th divisions have advanced towards Yingduo, and the Japanese army knows that it is no longer possible to prevent us from occupying LinkedIn, so their strategic purpose has also been shifted." ”
"Strategic purpose shift? Once we succeed in retreating to Indo, what moths can they do? Chen Mianwu on the side said strangely.
"Huh!" Jiang Haoran smiled: "Do you think that the situation in Myanmar is stable after we occupy Yingdo? No, our threat cannot be lifted until the rainy season arrives. To say that Terauchi Shouichi is also a great general, he can actually accept the defeat in front of him, without being entangled at all, immediately adjusted his direction, and set his sights on Yingduo, it seems that a more brutal battle is still waiting for us in Yingduo? ”
"Ah 616161616161 this won't happen, right? You must know that the Japanese army only has a second division in Yingduo, and once they withdraw from Yingduo and we occupy Menggong Tianwei again, the Japanese army will not be able to pose a threat to us at all, and what waves can he make with one division? Huang Jie said.
Jiang Haoran said: "I thought so from you at first, but the performance of the Japanese army today is too abnormal, although the Japanese army in Mina City suffered a lot of casualties, it is impossible to reach the horror of injuring the establishment, but they actually let us pass through Mina, and did not even send a soldier or a plane to intercept it, this is by no means that the Japanese army has admitted defeat, but there is a bigger conspiracy." I just looked at the map carefully, although Meng Gong is a natural danger, but if the artillery is strong enough, I'm afraid it is not so easy to defend, as for Yingduo, I think the Japanese army will soon increase its troops. In this battle, the Japanese army was not fully prepared, and it also suffered the loss of our armed helicopters, and I was disrupted by me all at once, so I am afraid that the battle of Yingduo will not be so easy? ”
Chen Mianwu said: "We all came over at the most dangerous time, and now our morale is high, so we may not be afraid of them, it's a big deal to open our arms and fight with him again!" ”
"Yes, I love to hear what Brother Mian Wu said, the most dangerous time has passed, and Yingduo Laozi is really occupied!" Jiang Haoran said.
"Huh!" Huang Jie smiled: "Since this is the case, then what are we afraid of?" Well, now that the Japanese army won't keep us, let's leave quickly, maybe we can rush to Meng Gong to finish eating? ”
"Okay, let's go to Meng Gong for dinner! Su Canwen, prepare the car, ready to go! Jiang Haoran howled loudly with interest, and he didn't hear a response from Su Canwen, who was on call in the past, for a long time, and then suddenly remembered that Su Canwen hadn't come back yet, and his face suddenly collapsed.
The atmosphere in the room also dropped to freezing point in an instant, and of course Huang Jie and Chen Mianwu also knew that in order to cover the retreat of the 75th Army, Jiang Haoran had sent out his most elite special combat team, and the results they created had already spread in the army, and the news that they were trapped behind enemy lines had already spread throughout the entire army.
Seeing that Jiang Haoran's face was not good, Huang Jie immediately asked Leng Rushuang softly: "What, Adjutant Leng, there is no news from the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team yet?" ”
Leng Rushuang shook his head miserably, and said: "I lost contact yesterday evening, and it has been a full twenty hours now, and the radio has been calling, but there is no response, however, the flight group of the 40th Group Army also gave them an airdrop at night, and also contacted Su Canwen, but did not ask about the casualties. ”
Huang Jie sighed deeply and said, "Don't worry, the combat effectiveness of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team is not bad, plus with Captain Su personally leading the team, they will come back safely." ”
Leng Rushuang smiled bitterly: "If the Japanese army pursues the 75th Army with all its might, the general seat can rest assured, now I am afraid that the Japanese army will see that the pursuit of the 75th Army is hopeless, and it will be troublesome to deal with the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team with all their might, they are not lacking in combat effectiveness, but after all, there are only sixty people, and they have to face thousands of times more enemies 616161616161 which is dangerous 616161616161 alas!" ”
616161616161
In the evening of the same day, Jiang Haoran's jeep drove into Meng Gongcheng, and he was greeted by the Huangshulin detachment of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, as well as the 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Airborne Regiment led by Liu Bao.
As soon as I arrived in Menggong, the good news came immediately. Because the Japanese army did not send planes to carry out large-scale bombing today, the 200th Division in the direction of Homarin and the 29th and 28th Divisions in the direction of Menggong were able to go all out to rush to Yingduo, and the troops had already arrived under the city of Yingduo before evening, but the second division of the Japanese army had already retreated in advance, and almost all the materials in the city of Yingduo were emptied, and the most important thing was food, and basically even the food in the homes of the common people was searched.
For this result, Jiang Haoran had long expected that the enemy would abandon the city, and it would be absolutely impossible to leave them with something. He immediately ordered the troops at the front not to disturb the people after entering the city, and posted a list of the people. Although the Burmese people do not have much affection for the expeditionary force and the British army, the common people everywhere are the best fools, the Japanese army at the front has just robbed them of their food, if the expeditionary force restrains the army a little, and even gives them a little benefit, this is an excellent opportunity to buy people's hearts.
Yingduo is also a medium-sized city, with no less than 200,000 permanent residents, and if the expeditionary force wants to gain a firm foothold in Burma, it is far from enough to rely on force, and only by gaining the support of the Burmese people is the long-term policy of peace and stability.
After dinner, Jiang Haoran did not stop for a moment, and rushed to Yingduo overnight, accompanied by the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team and the soldiers of the 3,000 Airborne Regiment.
Meng Gong's defense was handed over to the 75th Army and Sun Liren's new 38th Division, which arrived later. Moreover, Jiang Haoran also ordered the 3,000 officers and men of the airborne regiment led by Liu Xianwei to rush to Yingduo immediately after completing the post-break mission.
Because after Liu Bao occupied Menggong, he also intercepted a Japanese train at Menggong Station, with 15 carriages. Therefore, Jiang Haoran and they also took a luxury trip and took the train directly. During the war, it was common for a train car to fit four or five hundred people, but Jiang Haoran and them only had more than 3,000 people, and they still had a surplus after loading, and they still enjoyed special carriages for Jiang Haoran, Huang Jie and the staff officers of the headquarters.
Liu Bao also suggested bringing a little more grain, because the Japanese army in Meng Gong had hoarded a lot of grain, and the 75th Army and the new 38th Division were surplus for half a month, and Yingduo was now full of troops, and what was most lacking was food. But Jiang Haoran did not adopt this suggestion, and Yingduo's food could only be found from Imphal.
