Chapter 674: Iron Troop
"Shhh Hearing this, Shouichi Terauchi took a breath and exclaimed, "No wonder Jiang Haoran dared to implement the strategy of east-west advancement, relying on this new weapon to a large extent, right?" Do you have any suggestions from the base camp? ”
Tsukada attacked: "The base camp feels that with the limited resources and production capacity of the 331 base, the number of these new helicopters will not be too much, and as long as we control the air supremacy, the suppression of them is decisive, so before they are fully developed, the base camp asks us to end the expeditionary force as soon as possible and control the overall situation of Myanmar." At the same time, the base camp is also actively preparing to transfer pilots and planes from various flight regiments to replenish the Fifth Flying Regiment as soon as possible and restore the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Flying Regiment. ”
Shouichi Terachi waved his right hand one by one, clenched his fists in the air, and said in a cruel voice: "With the strong support of the base camp, I don't believe that I can't recover Jiang Haoran, the grandson monkey." ”
As soon as the words fell, a senior staff officer hurriedly came in with a telegram, the message was sent by Nakajima Imasago Imasa, the commander of the 16th Division, and he felt that the current command system of the Chinese Army was very chaotic, although the number of three divisions of one army appeared in Michi. Outside the city, but the combat effectiveness was very low, it was the best opportunity to annihilate them, so he asked to take the initiative to attack, and at the same time asked Meng Gong's Aoki Wing to come up from the back bread and completely annihilate the 66th Army of the Chinese Army.
Terauchi Shouichi pinched the telegram and hesitated, although Jiang Haoran's strategy of advancing east and west has been determined, but so far only the 66th Army can be sure of the position of the troops, and the specific positions of the other 75th Army and the Fifth Army are not clear, in case this is a trap by Jiang Haoran, the purpose is to lure the 16th Division into the bait, once the strength of the 16th Division is transferred out of the Mizhi, that, the branch, the Fifth Army of that army suddenly kills from the northern front, and the Mizhi will be dangerous, you must know that the Fifth Army still has an armored regiment, and it is fully equipped with the conditions for a rapid attack.
Thinking of this, Shouichi Terauchi immediately ordered Meng Gong's Aoki Wing to attack along the Manmi Railway, attack the rear line of the Chinese Army, and ensure the smooth flow of the Manmi Railway. At the same time, the 16th Division was strictly ordered to stand by and wait for reinforcements to prevent a sudden attack by the Chinese Army.
As soon as the senior staff officer turned around and went out, another staff officer hurriedly arrived, and the Aoki Wing that reported Meng Gong sent a farewell message.
"What, farewell message?" Terauchi Shouichi screamed, snatched the telegram from the staff officer and hurriedly browsed, the telegram claimed that just half an hour ago, a branch of more than a regiment, that army troops, suddenly appeared in the rear of Meng Gong, and carried out a crazy attack on Meng Gong, the soldiers, the soldiers in that army are well-armed, and the quality of individual soldiers is by no means comparable to the imperial army, one by one brave and good at fighting, like a tiger out of the forest, when the telegram was sent, the Chinese army had already surrounded the headquarters, and the wing commander Aoki Xiongyi disemboweled to thank the emperor.
The message fluttered from Shouichi Terauchi's hand, and the expression on his face showed no joy or anger, only shock.
Chief of Staff Tsukada Tsukasa picked up the telegram on the ground and glanced at it hurriedly, and suddenly looked hideous, "Baga! He scolded angrily and said, "This must have been done by Jiang Haoran's special operations division, and they were airborne behind Meng Gong." ”
In fact, everyone knows this result, except for Jiang Haoran's special operations division, who has such a great ability to deal with a wing of warriors of the imperial army in half an hour, and they are completely powerless to fight back, and even the time to send a message is so hasty.
Jiang Haoran had the record of leading his troops to airborne into Wuhan a year ago, and now that they have all produced airplanes, it is not surprising that there is an airborne unit.
Terauchi Shouichi said in a cruel voice: "Order: The 38th Division immediately launched an attack on the Hukang River Valley, order: The 55th Division is ready to reinforce Myitkyina and the Hukang River Valley at any time, and order: Yingduo's 2nd Division, one part of which will remain behind, and the rest of the divisions will immediately go to Homarin, enter the Meng Pass, and cooperate with the 38th Division to clear the expeditionary force in the Hukang River Valley area." ”
After the order was given, Shouichi Terauchi changed his shocked expression just now, and instead showed a relaxed look.
In such a big battle, the loss of a wing and the gain or loss of a small town are nothing, not enough to make Terauchi Shouichi angry, the appearance of Jiang Haoran's airborne troops did shock Terauchi Shouichi, but he saw a clear battle situation from it, which is obviously much more important than the loss of a wing.
The surprise attack on Menggong Town and the cutting off of Myitkyina's supply line are enough to see that Jiang Haoran is bound to Myitkyina, otherwise he would not have been able to throw an elite airborne army into the hinterland of the imperial army and leave it to fend for itself.
Occupying the first line of the Mong Gong, Myitkyina, and Hukang River valleys, with their backs to the Bujebanshan Mountains to the west, and the Inrawaddy River as a barrier to the east, as long as the troops are divided and blocked at both ends, the expeditionary force will be enough to fight the imperial army in northern Burma, and the temporary supplies can be airlifted through the Myitkyina airport, and as long as they hold on to northern Burma for three to four months, they can wait for domestic reinforcements to arrive, and then take the special operations division as the vanguard to tear open the defense line of the 56th Division, from Wan Town to Ba Mo, and achieve the strategic victory of the two armies.
Terauchi Shouichi firmly believed that this was Jiang Haoran's overall plan, but he would not let him succeed, and after issuing the battle order, he ordered the 18th Division, which was fighting against the US army in the Philippines, to be transferred to Burma. The second division outflanked the lair of the expeditionary force and also defended the expeditionary force from the direction of Meng Gong, the strength of the force appeared to be a little weak, and even this move gave the American troops on the Bataan Peninsula a chance to breathe, he did not hesitate, everything was to annihilate the expeditionary force as the first priority.
Meng Gong.
In the smoke of gunpowder, Liu Bao carried an AK47 on his shoulder, high-top leather shoes made a croaking sound in the blood, and behind him was a group of wolf-like soldiers.
There was a loud bang, and as Liu Bao kicked open the door of the Japanese headquarters, the soldiers behind him rushed in, and the mixture of the pungent smell of feces, urine and blood in the air made Liu Bao, who came in immediately, unconsciously fan his nose with his hand.
"I rubbed his mother, I haven't been addicted to it, what the hell are you dissecting?"
Liu Bao kicked over a shirtless Japanese soldier in a kneeling posture and cursed.
The ground was in a mess, and there were several Japanese officers lying on the ground, of course, they had already died, and there were those who were disemboweled, and those who committed suicide were all wiped out.
Meng Gong is just a small town in the woods, the airborne troops of the special operations division have the early cleaning of the snow wolf special combat team, and they unknowingly touched in, and suddenly launched an attack, in the case of almost equal strength, they have an absolute advantage in weapons, although the battle ended in half an hour, which is somewhat unexpected, but who made them a special operations division, it is Jiang Haoran's fist troops, steel troops, it is a shame not to say so.
"Telecommunications troops, report to the headquarters, and say that the airborne regiment has taken Meng Gong, completely annihilated the Japanese Aoki Wing, all the supplies are intact, and a Japanese train has also been captured." Liu Bao said arrogantly.
