Jiang Haoran was overjoyed, this is indeed good news, although the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater is still far away, but these 500 helicopters are a good signal, it can be seen that the strategic center of gravity of the people of the United States has begun to tilt towards Asia. ⊙，

In particular, when the war was approaching, these 500 helicopters were tantamount to a tiger wings for Jiang Haoran, and he was even more confident in winning the battle in front of him.

In the following time, Jiang Haoran made a detailed report to Stilwell on the strategic deployment, and Stilwell, who was shocked, was full of praise for it, and took care of all the logistics work, especially the steel cables used to build the bridge, and he promised to transport it to Myitkyina Airport as soon as possible, and would not drag Jiang Haoran back.

Dinner was eaten at Jiang Haoran's house, and Stilwell insisted on trying Mei Xiang and Mei Xin's craftsmanship, but Jiang Haoran certainly couldn't refuse. also specially called Huang Jie and Luo Zhuoying to accompany them, and the four of them talked happily during the banquet, of course, the content was also the war in front of them and a good prospect of war, and it did not involve politics at all.

Early the next morning, Stilwell set off for Ipar, for the logistics of the Burma campaign worry-free, he was not willing to delay for a minute, the whole person was like a chicken blood, running tirelessly in various places, as Luo Zhuoying said, Jiang Haoran's strength, so that Stilwell, the chief of staff of the Chinese theater, did a smooth ride, he had reason to be full of energy.

Seeing off Stilwell, Sun Liren came to report that his new 38th Division had arrived in Indo.

According to the plan, the new 38th Division was the main force of the first echelon to cross the river, so they assembled as quickly as possible and arrived at Yingduo early in the morning.

The biggest threat to the troops crossing the river is, of course, from the steel cable bridge, the bridge paved with steel cables and wooden planks, the simplicity is undoubted, the distance of several hundred meters, no matter how many cables can not control the swaying of the bridge deck, and below is the rushing and roaring Inovady River, once a person falls, there is basically no possibility of survival, so the soldiers must not only master the essentials of crossing the bridge, but also overcome the psychological fear, and the early training is indispensable.

Jiang Haoran took Sun Liren and his team to the mountainous area dozens of miles away, and yesterday the Mao workers had already entered the mountain, and he will take the construction team and sappers to build a temporary bridge between the canyons in the mountains for the troops to train, and according to the plan, the bridge will be erected this morning.

Sure enough, the Mao workers did not disappoint Jiang Haoran, as soon as Jiang Haoran entered the mountain, he saw a bridge swaying between the canyons of the two mountains, and the sappers had already laid wooden planks on the bridge deck, and the efficiency was staggering.

Of course, the distance, size and sturdiness of this bridge can not be compared with the real steel cable bridge across the river, but Mao Gong introduced that this bridge is almost a condensed version of the 8:1 steel cable bridge across the river, and the amplitude of its swaying and shaking has been accurately calculated, basically the same as the steel cable bridge across the river, and the canyon between the two mountains is as high as more than 20 meters, and the fear formed by the fear is not worse than the Inovady River except for the roar of the river.

The troops soon began training, the commander of the 122nd Regiment Tang Chu raised his arms and shouted, and thousands of erlang immediately rushed forward, quickly built defensive positions on both sides of the bridge, set up machine guns and cannons, and then, the machine guns and cannons on the opposite bank also began to fire.

Although the plan stated that it was the airborne regiment that occupied the east bank first, and the troops began to cross the river in an all-round way, and it was said that there would be no frontal firepower from the enemy, in order to prevent the enemy from counterattacking quickly, it would be difficult for the troops of one regiment to block the enemy's attack, so he added a forcible crossing subject to the training.

In the rain of bullets, the troops rushed onto the bridge and began to advance at full speed, the previous period was relatively smooth, the enemy's firepower was not strong, and the bridge was relatively stable, but in the middle section, the firepower from both sides and even the air began to concentrate, the bullets were like a platter, the troops could not move forward at all, and the soldiers could only lie on the planks and crawl forward slowly, but even so, the swing of the bridge still made many people roll off the bridge deck and fall into the protective net below, and the casualties caused by the dense rain of bullets were even worse, The troops on the bridge deck also began to organize fire counterattacks, and it became difficult to cross the river.

Looking at the fighter planes that flew overhead to participate in the exercise, Sun Liren said worriedly: "General seat, according to this method of fighting, we will not be able to cross the river at all, there are planes, artillery, and more than a dozen heavy machine guns on both wings, and this firepower is too fierce." ”

Jiang Haoran said: "Brother Fumin, you won't suffer a loss if you increase the difficulty during training, although our air force will make every effort to ensure air supremacy when crossing the river, and it will also cross the river when occupying the east bank, but the situation of the war is often changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee what will happen, I am not worried about air supremacy, the biggest threat is that an airborne regiment cannot hold the entire defense line for a day and a night, so we must be prepared to force the crossing." With this kind of firepower, I want at least three regiments of your troops to cross the river. ”

Sun Liren suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, his new 38th Division had six regiments, that is to say, in this battle, Jiang Haoran expected that his division would pay half of the casualties, but he still habitually held his chest up, saying that he would resolutely carry out the task and guarantee its completion.

Jiang Haoran nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Fumin, I'll leave it to you here, don't go out for the next ten days, sweat a little more here, and you can shed less blood on the battlefield, it's worth it." ”

"Yes, Chief!"

Sun Liren straightened his chest again, Jiang Haoran waved his hand, turned around and left, looking at his back, Sun Liren's eyes were blurred, the shock brought to him by this twenty-six-year-old chief was too great, pure soldiers are not satisfied with high-ranking officials and executives, but also serve capable people, and Sun Liren is a typical pure soldier, at this moment, don't say that Jiang Haoran just ordered him to cross the river to fight, even if he was asked to lead troops to attack Yangon, he would not hesitate to charge forward.

"Master, I'll send the head seat!" Just as Sun Liren was in reverie, a voice came from behind him.

Sun Liren didn't need to look back, he also knew that it was the deputy division commander Yu Xueqi who was speaking, so he naturally waved his hand and replied: "Okay, go and come back quickly, I can't do without you here." ”

"Gotta do it!" Yu Xueqi agreed, and quickly chased after Jiang Haoran's team in front, and unconsciously, the relationship between these two political enemies, who were originally rivals of life and death, seemed to have improved, and even had some tacit understanding.

And Sun Liren looked at Yu Xuemin, who was running wildly all the way, with a slight smile on his face, he knew that Yu Xueqi had also broken away from the military command and officially moved closer to Jiang Haoran.
