Chapter 1016: The Worst and Most Cruel Battle

Wan Town is a veritable border town, before the Anti-Japanese War there were only a few dozen households, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Yunnan-Burma Highway passed through here, Wan Town once became the base camp of the Chinese, Mi and British Triple Alliance, the distribution center of materials, every day there are hundreds of thousands of military vehicles from here to transport materials to the interior, the expeditionary force is also from here out of the country.

After crossing the Wanmachi River, on the other side is the town of Kugu in Myanmar, where the voices of chickens and dogs from the two countries are heard.

After the Japanese army occupied Longling and Tengchong, Wan Town also became the logistics warehouse of the Japanese army, which is why so many Japanese cars were stranded here.

At about 9 o'clock in the evening, fierce gunfire suddenly came from the southwest of Wan Town, and the battle of the surprise attack on the Japanese automobile wing had begun.

The special operations division, which had already reached the outskirts of Wan Town, immediately launched a fierce attack, and more than 20,000 soldiers rushed out of the jungle and attacked the Japanese defense line with the strength of tigers and wolves.

The special operations division attacked from the east, north, and west, and secretly engaged the enemy under the cover of the jungle and the night, and the Japanese artillery wing had not yet exerted its might, and the special operations division had already rushed to the front of the Japanese army.

The flares illuminated the forward positions of the Japanese army as if it were daylight, the AK47 swept all the way, the powerful firepower network was simply impenetrable, and the Japanese army's suppressive firepower was either named by snipers or destroyed by bazookas, and in less than half an hour, the defense line was rushed by the special operations division full of loopholes.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese garrison wing itself is poor, not to mention other indiscriminate logistics and technical troops, and the equipment is basically 38 big covers, German-style submachine guns, 100-style submachine guns, these are all equipped with front-line troops, it is impossible to get them in turn, firepower and special operations divisions, not at all at the same level, plus their strength is already stretched, in the face of several times their special operations divisions, where can the Japanese army resist, in less than an hour, the entire line of defense of the first line of defense collapsed, The little devils of the second line of defense began to flee immediately, and even Tanaka Shinichi, the commander of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army, saw that the situation was not good, and he had already fled south with the guards and cavalry wings.

The special operations division also had no intention of chasing, and collected the cars and fuel in Wan Town, and all the remaining materials that could not be taken away were burned.

After 10 o'clock, the special operations division opened the road with several captured armored vehicles, followed by nearly 100 vehicles, and drove in the direction of Lashio.

At the same time, Lashio, the temporary command of the expeditionary force.

Jiang Haoran stained his robe with blood, the smell of gunsmoke on his face, lying on his back on the chair and snoring, and a piece of gauze full of blood stains was wrapped around his right arm, Mei Xiang's eyes were red, and she looked at him distressedly, gently distantly fanning the wind and repelling mosquitoes for Jiang Haoran, it was night, although the temperature was not high, there were many people in the cave, and the ventilation effect was poor, so it was a little stuffy.

In the past three days, Jiang Haoran has no serious eyes, as the commander-in-chief of the two group armies, he still has bad habits, he rushes to the front line with a gun, and the guards can't stop him, if it weren't for a bullet piercing his right arm in the evening and being forcibly dragged down by Su Canwen and the two team members, I'm afraid he will still be on the battlefield, this guy scared the officers and soldiers so hard that their legs were weak, and they also made Mei Xiang and Mei Xin feel distressed to death.

This heartless guy actually fell asleep while dealing with the wound, everyone finally felt a little relieved, Jiang Haoran is the soul of this army, if he has an accident, the army will collapse immediately, this is an indisputable fact, this will allow him to sleep, it is a good thing to have a good rest, Chief of Staff Wu Chaowen took over the command of the troops, although a little uneasy, but three hours have passed, the defense line is still immovable, and the soldiers use their bravery and tenacity to block the enemy's crazy attacks again and again.

In this battle, the expeditionary force was really too cruel and dangerous, and if it wasn't for Jiang Haoran personally jumping up and down the front line to cheer up the soldiers, I really don't know if Lashio has changed hands now.

Seven divisions, a brigade plus a regiment, and the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, a total of more than 100,000 horses, when they entered Lashio, there were more than 90,000, and to this day, those who are still fighting on the front line at this time are probably less than 20,000, plus more than 10,000 wounded soldiers, there are only more than 30,000, and the wounded soldiers are basically seriously injured, and those who are lightly injured will be killed early before going to the battlefield.

Hundreds of thousands of troops strangled together, only beating Lashio into a human purgatory, inside and outside is a sea of corpses and blood, and the thick smell of blood, gunsmoke, corpse smell and various mixed gases in the air makes Lashio full of the breath of death and terror.

Peng Bisheng, lieutenant general of the 49th Division, Ma Weiji, commander of the 29th Division, Sun Liren, commander of the new 38th Division, Zhang Zhen, commander of the 66th Army, was seriously wounded, and other regiment commanders, battalion commanders and other grassroots cadres suffered countless casualties.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Battle of Lashio was the worst and most brutal battle fought by Jiang Haoran since his birth, and it was also the battle with the greatest casualties, but its strategic significance was no less than the recovery of Wuhan, and even more far-reaching.

The Japanese army is no better than the expeditionary force, the 1st Guards Division is probably only 10,000 troops at most, its tank wing, heavy artillery wing are all wiped out, Jiang Haoran used the only armed helicopter, with the determination to destroy them together, nearly 500 helicopters have been beaten to the present, there are still seven or eight armed helicopters, there are more transport helicopters, and there are more than 20 helicopters, and it is precisely because of the casualties of helicopters that it can block the crazy attack of the 1st Guards Division.

Not to mention the 16th Army of the Japanese Army, three divisions plus more than 10,000 additional troops, more than 100,000 horses, and now there are at most 40,000, and more than 10,000 died at the guns of the expeditionary force in the long live charge before the evening alone.

There was a sudden burst of cheers in the headquarters, probably because of the long-term suppression, which made this cheer particularly presumptuous, and the sound echoed in the cave, deafening.

The various offices in the cave are temporarily separated by wooden boards, and the top is empty, such a big movement naturally also reached Jiang Haoran's office, Jiang Haoran was excited, suddenly woke up, his tiger eyes widened, and said: "What's the situation?" ”

Mei Xiang, who was fanning, didn't know what was going on, glanced at the door, and said, "I don't know, I came suddenly." ”

Jiang Haoran got up quickly and walked to the door, and a figure rushed in, almost colliding with Jiang Haoran.

Immediately, I heard Wu Chaowen's excited and somewhat confused voice, "Retreat, Boss, we have repelled the enemy." ”

The war is so cruel, one day they will not have to repel the enemy's countless attacks, this seems to be nothing to be surprised Jiang Haoran frowned, and said unhappily: "Let's talk about it after it is sorted out." ”
