These more than 1,000 people are relatively good in water, and they crossed the river on their bicycles last night, so they appeared fifty miles away this morning, but unfortunately Jiang Haoran didn't know about this situation, otherwise with Liu Bao and their regiment of more than 3,000 troops, if the ambush site was well chosen, they would definitely be able to eat them all with one guy.

More Wanjiang nine bends and eighteen bends, winding at the foot of Bonnya Mountain, the place where the Japanese army built a pontoon bridge, both sides of the bank are cliffs, and the opposite bank is the towering Bonnia Mountain.

At this time, a temporary tent was set up at the corner at the foot of the mountain, which was the temporary headquarters of the 23rd Brigade of the 18th Division, the forward unit of the Japanese army.

At this moment, the brigade commander, Major General Nokamepu, was ordering the soldiers to pack up their documents and dismantle their tents, and saw that the troops had fully crossed the river and the headquarters was about to be deployed.

At this moment, the commander of the 55th Wing, Shiro Yamazaki, arrived in a hurry, bringing the news that the forward assault team had been attacked in the direction of Homalin, and the British army about a battalion of troops took the commando by surprise, causing the assault team to cause nearly 100 casualties.

Hearing this news, Major General Ye Guipu was not surprised, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a hint of evil smile, and said: "It seems that Jiang Haoran is indeed a commander who is not easy to deal with, he can actually think of arranging a small army in the jungle to guard, it seems that he has understood our intentions, it is okay, we don't have to hide and march in hiding, the herald, order the troops to move forward at full speed, and go straight to Homarin." ”

"Hay!" The herald behind Wild Turtle Pu stepped forward and quickly left.

Shiro Yamazaki, the commander of the 55th Wing, said suspiciously: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what should you do with that battalion of British troops?" I don't think we can keep them, who knows when and where they will come out, and they are not a small threat to us? ”

Wild Turtle Pu said: "The combat effectiveness of the British army is low, a battalion can not play a role at all, of course, we can't let them operate in our rear, I think I ordered the commando team to divide a squadron and go into the mountains to destroy them, and the rest of the people continue to advance towards Homarin." ”

"Hay, I'll give the order!" Shiro Yamazaki immediately turned around and wanted to leave, but at this moment, there was a sudden dense gunfire on the other side of the Wanjiang River.

Wild Kamepu and Yamazaki Shiro looked at each other, and quickly walked out of the tent one after another, only to see that the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the river had dropped their bicycles and picked up their guns and entered the jungle, the machine gunners had already begun to set up machine guns at the entrance to the jungle, and even a few small steel cannons had been unloaded from the back seat of the bicycles, and the artillerymen were busy erecting them.

"It's the AK47 of the special operations division!" Shiro Yamazaki exclaimed insightfully.

The Japanese army and Jiang Haoran's troops have fought more than once or twice, from the beginning of the Nanchang Campaign, AK47 began to equip a large number of troops, and the Japanese army has also collected a lot of Ak47 from the battlefield, although the 18th Division has not fought with Jiang Haoran's troops, but it is not surprising that officers at the Dazuo level have seen this weapon.

"Yes, it's AK47!" Ye Guipu echoed with certainty: "It seems that Jiang Haoran has already transferred the airborne brigade from the front of Xidang, this kid reacted so quickly, how could he guess that we would go through the jungle and intersperse Homarin?" ”

"I think that our delay in showing up at the front of Tin Dang aroused his alarm, so he immediately transferred the airborne brigade, and also ordered the British army in Homarin to send troops to set up an ambush in front of him, but unfortunately the British army was about to collapse at the first touch, and his wishful thinking did not start." Shiro Yamazaki said.

Nokame nodded as if agreeing with Shiro Yamazaki's opinion, and soon, news came from the front that the troops of the Kina Army in the jungle were advancing frantically, and the offensive was very messy, and the defense line established by the Imperial Army in a hurry could not stop their attack at all.

The wild turtle frowned slightly, and then ordered the 56th Wing, which had already walked nearly 20 miles in front, to continue to advance towards Homalin, and the 55th Wing in the rear immediately stopped advancing, entered the jungle and went around to the rear of the airborne brigade for encirclement, the 13th Wing of the baggage cooperated with the 55th Wing to enter the front of the jungle for fortification, and the 12th Engineer Wing built a defensive position by the river, preparing to cover the follow-up troops to cross the river.

Jiang Haoran sent troops to appear at this location at this time, with the obvious intention, that is, to cut off the imperial army's crossing of the river, and if they were not resolved, the 35th Brigade in the rear would not be able to continue to cross the river at all.

Shiro Yamazaki, the wing commander of the 55th Wing, hurriedly rushed to the front line to personally direct the battle under the urging of Nokamepu. Ye Guipu's order was to block the army in the jungle at all costs, and never let them rush out of the jungle and destroy the river crossing.

Ye Guipu was not idle, and hurriedly ordered the signal corps to inform the division commander of the situation here, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya, and at the same time urged the 35th Brigade Regiment in the rear to quickly keep up, the Airborne Brigade was menacing, before the 35th Brigade did not cross the river, they were threatened to be cut off, Jiang Haoran's troops were strong, and the record of the Special Operations Division was even more amazing, so far, three divisions had been wiped out in their hands, and Ye Guipu did not dare to relax at all.

Shortly after the telegram was sent, Ye Kaimpu received a telegram from the division commander, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya, telling him that the imperial army had been defeated in the Battle of Mong Gong, that the attacking force on the northern front no longer existed, and that their last hope was in Homarin, and that Chiang Haoran had fully controlled the air supremacy of the whole of Burma, and that all units should pay attention to guarding against Chiang Haoran's helicopter gunship attack.

When Ye Guipu received the telegram, he suddenly sweated like rain, and suddenly felt that his hands and feet were cold, and an inexplicable sense of fear emerged from the bottom of his heart, he did not expect that the imperial army would suffer such a crushing defeat overnight, this Jiang Haoran was too terrifying, the three divisions of the entire northern front did not even have the strength to attack again, it can be seen that these three divisions are afraid that they have died out.

Because the Japanese high-level was afraid of affecting morale, they blocked the news of Meng Gong and the defeat of the navy, but at this moment, Mutaguchi Lian also felt that he could no longer hide from Ye Kasumi, because their target had been exposed, and the helicopter might suddenly appear in front of them at any time, rather than being detected by them and causing panic, it was better to tell them directly, let them know that they had been burdened with a thousand catties, the imperial army was already the last fight, and Ye Kamepu must annihilate the invading troops at all costs and remove all obstacles for the imperial army to advance into Homarin.

In addition to being shocked, Ye Guipu ordered the rapid-fire artillery brigade to immediately choose favorable terrain on both sides of the Wanjiang River and step up the construction of artillery positions, and at the same time, mobilize a large number of heavy machine guns to set up ambushes in hidden places. If helicopter gunships do come to their aid, the banks of the Wanhe River will be their main attack sites, and the first to bear the brunt is the pontoon bridge, I am afraid that a single shell will be enough to wipe out this improvised pontoon bridge.
