Thanks to the efforts of the river defense troops and the air force, the steel cable bridge still flew on the Inovady River, and in addition to damaging a batch of wooden planks, it can almost be said that it waited for the arrival of the Qingyi Army unscathed.

The Sino-Iranian joint flight team once again paid a heavy price, losing nearly 100 fighters of various types. If nothing else, the expeditionary force will probably lose all air supremacy in Burma within two or three days.

Of course, Jiang Haoran will not sit still, the telegram requesting support has already been sent to Stilwell, this matter can only be found from the United States, hoping that the United States can understand their difficulties, and squeeze out a little from the share of supporting the Soviet battlefield to support Burma.

Taking advantage of the gap when the enemy plane was just repulsed, the Qingyi Army began to cross the river in an all-round way, originally thought that these recruits would have to worry when they saw this bridge, the rickety steel cable bridge, below is the rushing and roaring river, if they fall, there is no chance of survival, and the oppression and fear brought to people can be imagined. Who knew that these guys actually shouted "charge" one by one.

With this, to a large extent, Jiang Haoran was given a lot of comfort, and also saw the future of this army from them, although they have not yet experienced the baptism of war, but this courage to face death is remarkable.

Perhaps this is the fundamental difference between student soldiers and peasant soldiers, who have faith, ideals, patriotic spirit, and national complexes, and are far from being comparable to those soldiers who are fighting for food and clothing, to feed their families, and even to be captured as strong men.

Before dark, the two divisions of the Qingyi Army crossed the river in an all-round way, and what Jiang Haoran didn't expect was that the commander of the 201st Division of the Qingyi Army was Huang Baitao, and the commander of the 202nd Division was Li Tianxia, both of whom Jiang Haoran didn't like.

These two Jiang Haoran actually knew each other for a long time, in the Southern Anhui Breakout Campaign, they both belonged to the senior officers of the Third Theater Army at that time, and they were also among the officers who were repatriated by Jiang Haoran, they were all diehard loyalists of Gu Lian, strictly speaking, in fact, most of the officers at all levels of the 41st Group Army were in this group of people. And Jiang Haoran's bad impression of these two people is not because of this, but in the later battle of Menglianggu, the two passed the buck to each other and did not save each other, resulting in Zhang Linghu being annihilated by our army in Menglianggu.

Of course, Zhang Linghu is also a supporter of the civil war and an enemy of the people, and it is reasonable to be annihilated, but on the matter, it can be seen from this matter that these two people are not good guys.

After Li Tianxia and Huang Baitao met Jiang Haoran, Jiang Haoran immediately ordered them to gather all the officers above the company level.

The two of them thought that Jiang Haoran was going to take some kind of formalism, so they reprimanded them first, and after summoning them with suspicion, Jiang Haoran made a decision on the spot that made them infinitely crazy and unheard of, and they were formed into an officer company by Jiang Haoran, with Huang Baitao as the company commander and Li Tianxia as the deputy company commander, and the troops were all scattered to the new 38th and 28th divisions, and they also found a very "reasonable" reason -- in order to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the recruits, and at the same time, it was also a kind of protection for the recruits. Let them have at least one veteran for every two people.

Jiang Haoran didn't look at their dumbfounded expressions at all, nor did he pay attention to their feelings at all, let alone give them any chance to justify, and then ordered them to go to the logistics department to get AK47s, and prepare to set off with the large army to attack the Japanese defense line.

A glass of wine releases the military power and a glass of wine to drink, in the hands of this group of unlucky people, it will be solved in a few words, and you can't have too many emotions, you can't disobey orders, this guy is famous for killing people without blinking, like Huang Baitao and Li Tianxia saw Shangguan Yun killed by him with one shot on the spot, so, even if they have a stomach of grievances, they won't even dare to let go of a fart.

And those recruits outside had already been taken away by the grassroots cadres of the new 38th and 28th Divisions who had been waiting for a long time, and happily recognized Master as going. They are all well-read and have strong comprehension skills, and they can see at a glance that this measure is beneficial to them and harmless, and Jiang Haoran is protecting them.

As night fell, the troops had been regrouped, and the general offensive was about to begin.

Jiang Haoran, who was wearing a snow wolf special combat team combat uniform and carrying an AK47 on his shoulder with one hand, walked out of the command headquarters, and this time he wanted to personally lead the team to charge.

Not only him, but all the senior military commanders didn't want to hide at home, they all went to the front line, even the newly formed officer company was no exception, and no one would want to retreat alive if they didn't cut through the defense line of Ruigu tonight.

Except for the officer company, all the other troops were rejoicing, and their morale was bursting because of Jiang Haoran's order, a unit, no matter how effective he was before, but even their commander-in-chief rushed to the front, no matter how cowardly the soldier was, he would become brave, and no one would think that their life was worth more than the commander-in-chief.

At eight o'clock sharp, the offensive officially began, and the troops on the Eastern Front also began to retreat to the second line of defense, and once the Ruigu breakthrough was successful, they would fully advance towards Lashio.

Engineers and logistics troops have also begun to cooperate with the West Bank troops to dismantle the steel chain bridge, and everything is telling them that there is no way back in this battle, only success and failure.

After fifteen minutes of artillery bombardment and a feint as during the day, the majestic cries of killing on the defensive line of the northern front were earth-shattering, and the troops of the four divisions began to charge in clusters, and tens of thousands of people rushed forward, and the earth trembled with the steps they took, and the army of ants rolled forward, and the spectacle was indescribable.

Barely ten minutes of gunfire and artillery fire, the two troops were mixed together and began a fierce white-knuckle battle.

Jiang Haoran's feint attack for a day and night caused the inertial fatigue of the Japanese army to a certain extent, thinking that this time it was still a feint, and it was a little negligent in defense, coupled with Jiang Haoran's mobilization was done thoroughly, the soldiers simply rushed forward in one go, tens of thousands of troops went forward one after another, and the Japanese troops on the defense line did not even have time to change bullets, and they couldn't fight in vain.

Moreover, Jiang Haoran was not just talking, he was really charging on the front line, and even the guard troops led by Zhou Benye did not keep up with him, and watched their headquarters rush directly into the enemy's fortifications in the rain of bullets, raising his heart to his throat.

Jiang Haoran's stabbing skills are not to be said, once a big knife slashed a Japanese squad, although now he is holding an AK47 that is not easy to handle, but it is still as fierce as a tiger, a piece of snow is flying up and down, dancing is simply dazzling, and the little devils fall under his bayonets one after another.
