Indo, Command of the Expeditionary Force.

The good news of the airborne brigade and the British guard regiment came one after another, which had already made the entire headquarters boil, and the battle was surprisingly smooth, which surprised Jiang Haoran, but it was reasonable to think about it, as long as the 18th Division of the Japanese army did not cross the river, the airborne brigade had the ability to cut off the Japanese army.

This is also due to the timely discovery of Jiang Haoran, this point in time is very good, the Japanese army has just passed a brigade, a little more, even if there is one more wing, the airborne brigade may not be able to withstand it.

Of course, it does not mean that Jiang Haoran can sit back and relax, after all, there are more than 20,000 people in a brigade of the Japanese army, and if they are desperate to cut through the defense line of the airborne brigade crossing, the situation of the war will still be very uncertain.

The staff officers and generals of the headquarters couldn't help but be overjoyed, discussing the battle in front of them lively, but Jiang Haoran stood by the window alone, holding a cigarette in his mouth, clasping his hands in front of his chest, and staring blankly at the emerald green outside the window, as if he was thinking far away, and the expression on his face was not relaxed.

Keeping a clear head after every victory is Jiang Haoran's usual style, and this time is certainly not an exception.

"Soza, are you still thinking about your steel bridge?"

Seeing that Jiang Haoran was looking in the direction of the Inovady River again, Chief of Staff Huang Jie walked over and asked with a smile.

"Oh, no!" Jiang Haoran looked at Huang Jie as if he was awakened, and replied, "I'm just thinking about what the Japanese army should do next?" ”

"Hehe, how else can the Japanese army go? Judging from the current situation, the illusion of the Japanese army attacking Indo will be shattered soon, in other words, our strategic concept of taking root in Burma has basically settled here, and I think the Japanese army has no other way to do it next than to retreat? ”

"No, no, Brother Dayun, as long as the 23rd Brigade of the Japanese Army is still there, the Japanese army will still have a chance to turn around, don't look at the airborne brigade in front of them blocking their retreat, but to a large extent, it relies on the deterrent power of the armed helicopter, and whether the armed helicopter can appear on the battlefield at any time depends on the air force to fully control the air power. Although the navy of the United States attacked the Japanese aircraft carrier, it caused some casualties among the Japanese army, and even caused them to panic. But this time will not be too long, the Japanese army will soon strengthen the maritime garrison, and the Mi Navy does not dare to start a war against the Japanese army at all, there is no other way but to retreat, in this way, the Japanese army will soon find that the Mi Navy is just a paper tiger, and the Japanese army that has come to its senses will reorganize its air forces to fight for air supremacy, so that if the advantage of helicopters is gone, the airborne brigade will not be able to block the Japanese army's two-sided attack at all. ”

"Shhh Huang Jie gasped, he didn't think about the problem as far as Jiang Haoran, and now as soon as Jiang Haoran brought it up, he quickly realized the seriousness of the matter, and then said fiercely: "In this case, we can only gather superior forces as soon as possible and eat the 23rd Brigade of the Japanese Army!" ”

"Yes, this is the only way to solve the crisis at hand, but the troops? The Fifth Army in the direction of Xidang had no time to separate at all, and the Japanese army would definitely frantically launch an attack on the front of Xidang in order to understand the predicament of the 18th Division. The direction of Meng Gong can also protect itself at most, except for the two British divisions in Homarin, we have no troops to adjust at all? ”

Jiang Haoran's words made Huang Jie also silent, Leng Rushuang didn't know when he appeared beside them, and interjected: "Let the British army enter the jungle and start a war with the Japanese army, I think it's better to forget it, with their combat effectiveness, it is good if they don't lag behind, and in the jungle battle, there are not many soldiers, but in Jing, I think the most I can do is to hand over the task of guarding the perimeter to them to prevent the Japanese army from invading the periphery of Yingduo and Homarin." ”

Jiang Haoran immediately smiled bitterly: "Rushuang is right, this is also what I considered, the British army is indeed not suitable to be the main attack force." ”

Huang Jie said: "According to what you say, then you can only transfer Meng Gong's 3rd Regiment of the Airborne Brigade over, don't care so much for now, and eat the 23rd Brigade of the Japanese Army?" ”

Leng Rushuang glanced at Jiang Haoran and said with a smile: "But our headquarters is considering whether the Japanese army will increase troops to Meng Gong, and then cause Meng Gong's crisis?" ”

Jiang Haoran didn't make a sound, smiled bitterly and raised his thumb at Leng Rushuang, it was obvious that Leng Rushuang saw through his thoughts.

Leng Rushuang smiled and continued: "But Chief, have you thought about it, even if the Japanese army increases its troops to Mina, it will have to redeploy troops from Bamo, and it will take at least five days to reach Mina, and the most important thing is that the Japanese army wants to cross the Inouaddy River, and if it wants to cross the river, it is necessary to build a pontoon bridge, if the air force closely reconnoites the sky over the Inouaddy River during this period of time, and does not relax day and night, the Japanese army will not be able to build this pontoon bridge at all, in other words, even if the Japanese army is ready to increase its troops, they will not be able to cross the river." ”

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Jiang Haoran praised the festival: "Rushuang, what Brother Dayun said is right, you definitely have the strength to be a division commander." ”

Leng Rushuang was confused when he heard it, but Jiang Haoran and Huang Jie were already laughing.

Soon, an urgent order was sent to Meng Gong, mobilizing the 3rd Regiment of the Airborne Brigade to immediately enter Yingduo by train.

In the evening, the regiment commander Zhou Benye arrived as scheduled with 4,000 soldiers, without a half-moment pause, and drove to the direction of Wanjiang overnight.

The Japanese army's actions were also rapid, and it took only one night to copy Liu Xianwei's bottom and carry out an encirclement attack on Liu Xianwei's two regiments, Zhou Benye led the third regiment to encounter the Japanese army the next morning, 4,000 people fought and rushed violently, and in the afternoon they tore apart the Japanese defense line, and the three regiments of the airborne brigade were fully united.

With the addition of the 3rd Regiment, the Airborne Brigade was confident enough to no longer be limited to defense, and began to organize a counteroffensive, and it was a counteroffensive on all fronts.

A brigade of nearly 10,000 troops, based on the Wanjiang crossing, lined up on the defense line of dozens of miles, fan-shaped, step by step, advancing meter by meter, driving the Japanese army to the direction of Wanjiang.

Although the Japanese army has more than 20,000 people, and its strength is close to the multiple of the expeditionary force, their title of "jungle god of war" can only be played off in front of the British army, and these demons of the special operations division are all elites selected from millions of troops, and their own foundation is good, plus they have received Jiang Haoran's tactical thinking and intensive training from later generations.

In the two days of the battle, the Japanese 23rd Brigade was still able to compete with the airborne brigade with its absolute superiority, but two days later, as a large number of soldiers were annihilated, the Japanese army's inadequacy was revealed.
