Annihilating a large number of Japanese troops without blood, this is good news, no wonder there was cheers outside, and even Huang Jie and Luo Zhuoying, who were still gloomy just now, were smiling.

Who knew that Jiang Haoran sighed again and again, only saying that Su Canwen was still inexperienced, and he was only ten wagons, this was obviously the vanguard of the Japanese army, if he let go of the train in front of him, there would definitely be a large army of the Japanese army behind, but unfortunately it was originally a big meal, but he ended up eating a mutton skewer.

When the two heard this opinion, they also thought it was true, although it was a little unsatisfactory, but it was finally a great victory, and it was still worth rejoicing.

Jiang Haoran immediately telegraphed Su Canwen to find out the specific situation of the Japanese reinforcements.

As soon as the telegram was sent, Stilwell's telegram arrived, informing Chiang Haoran that under his supervision, the Qingyi Army had completed its assembly in the afternoon, and that he was arranging vehicles to prepare to send him two divisions first, and that it was estimated that he would be able to reach Yingduo tomorrow evening, and that he could only mobilize so many vehicles, and that the remaining eight divisions could only walk or wait for the first two divisions to arrive, and then the vehicles would turn back and pick up halfway.

Jiang Haoran was overjoyed, this matter is also thanks to Stilwell's supervision in India, otherwise with Gu and that reluctant thought, the troops may not be able to arrive in ten days.

At midnight, Su Canwen sent a telegram again, before receiving Jiang Haoran's telegram, they had already advanced along the railway for more than ten miles, using all the remaining 4 to destroy another section of the railway, after receiving Jiang Haoran's telegram, the troops began to detour back again.

As a result, they encountered the Japanese troops marching along the railway in the middle of the road, with at least 20,000 troops, and then they turned to the road, and even more astonishingly found that the troops on the road were not less than those on the railway, and there were tanks, heavy artillery, and the vehicles transporting materials could not be seen at all.

After listening to the message, everyone in the command looked at each other for a while, and finally Jiang Haoran broke the silence: "It seems that Brother You Qing was unfortunately right, the first division of the Japanese army has all gone to the eastern front, and to this day, the entire Japanese army in Xidang has not fired a single shot, just to give us the illusion that they are waiting for reinforcements, it seems that the plot of the little devil has succeeded." ”

Huang Jie said: "Then what should we do next, is Lashio still guarding or not?" ”

Luo Zhuoying hurriedly replied: "How can you keep it?" (8) ≤ dǐng (8) ≤ diǎn (8) ≤ small (8) ≤ said, .23.→os_ (); The 1st Guards Division of the Japanese Army is 50,000 strong, and there are independent tank wings and independent heavy artillery brigades, and the airborne brigade will not even be left without a sudden retreat. ”

Almost everyone began to think that Luo Zhuoying had a point, but Lashio was still surrounded on both sides, and it would be very difficult to retreat.

Who knew that Jiang Haoran said fiercely: "Guard, must guard!" ”

Everyone was discolored, and Luo Zhuoying was even more diǎn pig liver color, but Jiang Haoran didn't pay attention to everyone's meaning at all, and ordered the staff officer to find a map of the area of Xibao and Mandalay, spread it out on the table, and took a curved ruler to measure it.

A few minutes later, Jiang Haoran dropped the measuring tools in his hand and said loudly: "From Mandalay to Xibao, the highway is 280 highway, and the railway is 240 highway, it is estimated that the railway was miserably damaged by Su Canwen and cannot be repaired in the short term, so the Japanese army began to march along the railway, and they have left Mandalay Highway 50 at present, and the rest of the journey is all on two legs, according to the rapid marching speed of the Japanese elite divisions, they will be at most 100 kilometers a day, so we have at least two days to prepare." Moreover, the special combat team is still in the rear, and it is estimated that they can extend this time by one day by blowing up bridges, roads, and setting up mines along the way. ”

Jiang Haoran paused as he spoke, his eyes swept the audience, but everyone looked at him blankly, no one thought of what he was going to do, he couldn't answer this at all, Jiang Haoran had to say again: "We will use the time of these three days to set up a triangular formation in Lashio, Ruigu, and Xibao, and fight the Japanese army to the death!" ”

The command headquarters was in an uproar, this is definitely an astonishing move, with five divisions and a brigade plus 10,000 Burmese troops who have just surrendered, and the four divisions of the Japanese army, including the first guard division that is overstaffed, no one knows where Jiang Haoran's confidence comes from, not to mention whether there is a huge disparity in combat effectiveness between the two sides, that is, the difference in strength is far from the old nose, the Japanese army's eighth and tenth divisions are both common sense divisions, with more than 32,000 troops, and the 22nd division is a type B division with a strength of more than 28,000, The strength of these three divisions alone is close to 100,000 (not counting their overstaffing), and with the 50,000 people of the Guards Division, the strength is at least 150,000.

On the other hand, the five divisions of the expeditionary force, except for the new 38th Division, which is barely a type A division, with a strength of about 14,000, the other four divisions are all B divisions, with a strength of 8,000 or 9,000, a total of less than 50,000, and 10,000 airborne troops, half of which have been killed or wounded, leaving only 5,000, plus 10,000 Burmese troops, all of which add up to only 65,000 people. If it wasn't for the mistake, everyone thought that Jiang Haoran was crazy.

Seeing that everyone still couldn't understand it, Jiang Haoran changed his method, walked to the combat sand table, took the command pole, and ordered the combat staff officer to prepare the sand table deduction.

According to his intentions, the troops on the east bank must tear through the Japanese Rigu defense line before dark tomorrow, and the large force will immediately advance towards Lashio.

The two divisions of the 1st Green Army, which arrived in Indo tomorrow afternoon, will be transferred to the east bank overnight, only to wait for the two divisions of the 1st Green Army to cross the bridge, and immediately dismantle the steel cable bridge, so that it will form two battlefields in the east and west, and the troops east of the Inovady River will go all out to cut through the defense line of the Japanese Ruigu, and then except for two divisions to stick to the Ruigu Break, the rest will all move closer to Lashio, quickly build a fortification on the periphery of Lashio, stick it in Lashio like a nail, and cut off the logistics channel of the Japanese army regardless of the cost, as long as it lasts for ten days. The six divisions of the Japanese army in northern Burma will soon face a situation of running out of ammunition, medicine, grain and grass and other materials, and the Japanese defense line in western Yunnan will also be self-defeating.

As for Yingduo, there are eight divisions of the Fifth Army and the upcoming Green First Army, as well as one division of Myitkyina, plus two British divisions in Homarin, and two Burmese divisions formed two months ago, which are used to deal with the 2nd and 18th divisions of the Japanese army in Xidang, which is enough, and even if the Japanese army makes up its mind from the Inovady River.

The results of the sand table deduction were not ideal, and Yingduo could basically guarantee that they would be safe, but the chances of Lashio were less than 20 percent, and these two percent of the odds were still piled up with 60 percent of the casualties of all the East Coast troops, so it can be said that there was basically no possibility of winning the war, and this plan would not work.
