What Jiang Haoran didn't expect was that this night passed without danger, and everything proved that the little devil really retreated, and completely gave up the idea of opening up the Lashio channel. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that as soon as the Songshan defense line collapsed, the commander of the special operations division went straight in, and the little devil no longer had any chance of winning, and retreating could save the living force to make senseless sacrifices, which was the wisest choice.

The next day, that is, on 25 September, the 25th day after the start of the campaign, at about 10 o'clock in the morning, the convoy of the special operations division drove into Lashio, and the meeting of the expeditionary force and the western Yunnan troops had become a fact, indicating that Chiang Haoran had taken full control of the situation in this battle, and the victory of the Burma campaign had pushed through layers of haze and saw the dawn.

Because of the arrival of the special operations division, Lashio, who had been tormented in the bitter wind and rain for more than 20 days, finally had laughter and laughter, and the army and the people had fun together, although the price paid for the arrival of this moment was too great, so great that everyone was miserable and painful, but the joy of victory still made everyone irrepressible, because only victory can prove their value and comfort the heroic souls of the fallen soldiers.

At the entrance of the cave, Jiang Haoran looked at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, followed by Wu Chaowen, Su Canwen, Liu Xianwei and other staff generals, and Chu Zhongtian, Li Bing, and Liu Bao walked towards him with a group of generals below.

"Report to the general seat, Chu Zhongtian, commander of the Special Operations Division, Li Bing, commander of the First Brigade, and Liu Bao, commander of the Second Brigade, have been ordered to report for duty, please instruct!" The three of them stood up and saluted in unison, like a bell.

"Well, this time you played the role of a sharp knife, three days earlier than I expected, and you deserve praise!" Jiang Haoran returned the salute and said with a smile.

It was rare to be praised by Jiang Haoran, several people seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and some smirked unnaturally, suddenly, Chu Zhongtian's face changed, stared at Jiang Haoran's right hand and arm, stepped forward quickly, and shouted nervously: "What's wrong, Mr. Zuo, are you injured?" ”

Jiang Haoran visited the soldiers in front of him last night, comforted the wounded soldiers, and dealt with the aftermath of the battlefield, and he was busy all night, and his body was still the same set of clothes as yesterday, stained with blood, and his arms were still wrapped in bandages.

Jiang Haoran glanced down at himself, then ripped off the bandages on his arms, and said lightly: "It's okay, I was bitten by a little devil's German-style submachine gun on the battlefield on the southern front last night, and the nine-millimeter pistol bullet and the warhead have been dug out, and now it's okay." ”

Jiang Haoran said and turned his arm, saying that it was really fine, in fact, he really didn't pretend, he had the special ability to quickly repair the wound, and the wound on his arm had already healed and scabbed, but he was a little dizzy and forgot to tear off the bandage, otherwise he wouldn't have shown his embarrassed side in front of Chu Zhongtian and them.

Chu Zhongtian didn't give up, swept his tiger eyes, fell on Su Canwen and Liu Xianwei, and said coldly: "Su Canwen, Liu Xianwei, this is how you protect the general seat?" ”

Liu Xianwei lowered his head with a flushed face, he was Chu Zhongtian's old subordinate, so he naturally didn't dare to talk back to Chu Zhongtian, plus Jiang Haoran was injured, he couldn't get rid of the responsibility of poor protection, and guilt was inevitable. But Su Canwen didn't sell Chu Zhongtian's account, his eyes rolled and he said: "Big man Chu, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, so what's wrong with the head seat, who can hold him off if he wants to go to the front line?" After speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Haoran, as if he was blaming Jiang Haoran for causing him to be blamed.

Chu Zhongtian: "You"

Jiang Haoran looked like he was fine, with a nose, and sneered: "Okay, okay, okay, no matter how big the matter, don't fight for it, the responsibility is not on Su Canwen and Liu Xianwei, and also, Lao Tzu tells you, do you dare to poke this matter to the chief of staff, see if Lao Tzu doesn't knock on your brains?" ”

The chief of staff in Jiang Haoran's mouth refers to Liu He of the 40th Group Army, and that guy chattered, Jiang Haoran really had a headache, so he gave them a vaccination first. A few guys looked at each other, and one face suddenly became bitter, who can hide this matter, sooner or later it will reach Liu He's ears, wouldn't they pick up a meal of chestnuts for nothing?

A breath of evil anger could not be released, Chu Zhongtian immediately sprinkled it on the culprit, and stepped forward and said: "General seat, I request to lead the team to pursue the 1st Guards Division of the Japanese Army, even if it is to chase Mandalay, we will kill them, please approve!" ”

As soon as Chu Zhongtian's words came out, Liu Xianwei and Su Canwen immediately understood what he had in mind, and quickly stood up and said that they would go together, and they would not withdraw their troops until they killed the First Guards Division.

"Look at your appearance, a group of remnants of the defeated army is worth 20,000 horses, what is there to fight." Jiang Haoran said with disdain.

"Where's that?" Several people spoke almost in unison.

Jiang Haoran didn't pay attention to them, and turned around and said, "Chaowen, is there any news from the reconnaissance plane?" ”

"Eh" Wu Chaowen looked stunned, listening to their bickering, he didn't expect Jiang Haoran to suddenly ask him, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and say: "Not yet, I'll ask again?" ”

Looking at Wu Chaowen's back, Jiang Haoran said to Chu Zhongtian: "Zhongtian, I have found a chief of staff for you." ”

"Him?" Chu Zhongtian looked at Wu Chaowen's back, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, the chief of staff of the special operations division has always been Liu He, but Liu He is far away at the base, so he naturally has no time to take care of him, because there has been no suitable candidate, this position has been vacant, as a front-line combat unit, a good chief of staff is indispensable, Chu Zhongtian's first reaction was whether Wu Chaowen could afford this heavy responsibility, but when he thought about it, Jiang Haoran felt that he could do it, so he must not be wrong, and smiled happily: "Thank you, General Seat, We do need a good chief of staff. ”

Jiang Haoran smiled knowingly and said, "How is it, did you encounter any special circumstances on the road?" Did you encounter the Japanese army Tada Junbe? ”

Chu Zhongtian said: "No, almost all the way is unimpeded, except when I first came out of Wan Town, the Japanese 15th Army planted some mines on the road, but it was Tanaka Shinichi who made a ghost in order to escape, but unfortunately we chased Tanaka Shinichi that old bastard, it is estimated that they turned the road halfway, if it wasn't for the rush to Lashio, I would definitely kill him, cheap that old devil?" ”

Jiang Haoran smiled: "Don't worry, they are also turtles in the urn now, and they can't run away." ”

Chu Zhongtian looked happy and said, "Boss, are you going to let us go back and clean them up?" ”

Jiang Haoran smiled and said nothing, at this time, Wu Chaowen walked out quickly and reported to Jiang Haoran that the reconnaissance plane had discovered the movement of the Japanese 16th Army, and they made a detour to Ba Mo, and now they are advancing in the direction of Wan Town.

"Wanmachi?" Jiang Haoran frowned, this result was somewhat unexpected to him, according to his thoughts, the Japanese 16th Army should retreat to the Ruigu Bamo line, wait for the navy to open the water channel, obtain supplies and replenish the source of troops, and then attack Lashio again after resting, and then the southern front troops continue to increase troops, and the 15th Army retreats to Wan Town, building a defensive line to block the troops in western Yunnan, thus starting the second phase of the battle of Lashio, the Japanese army made him a little incomprehensible.

Chu Zhongtian hurriedly said: "General seat, will the little devil want to gather all the troops in northern Burma, block the southward advance of the western Yunnan troops with all his might, and then hand over Lashio to the southern front troops to isolate us again?" ”

Jiang Haoran subconsciously bit his lip, and did not rush to express his position, in fact, there was some intention in his heart, from a tactical point of view, this set seems to be feasible, as long as the troops in western Yunnan are blocked, and the southern front will be heavily deployed to crush Lashio, even if the special operations division is difficult to fight, the Japanese army still has a chance to turn around, but Jiang Haoran quickly denied Chu Zhongtian's inference, and said: "No, if the Japanese army only attacks all the way on the southern front, no matter how many troops they transfer over, they will be troubled by the region, and the most they will put into the battlefield will be one division at most, Even if they attack continuously and uninterruptedly, it will not be a simple matter to take Lashio from us, they have not been able to besiege it on three sides with four divisions in the front, and now they are counting on one division to attack while tearing apart the defense line of our special operations division? The little devils will not be so naïve, even if they have such naïve ideas, the Japanese army in northern Burma will not be able to stop the advance of the troops in western Yunnan at all, although they still have more than 100,000 troops, but I estimate that the ammunition of the 16th Army is basically exhausted, and the 15th Army can hold out for three or five days at most, and the food, I am afraid that the two armies will be difficult to hold on for three days, and the Japanese army cannot expect a group of hungry ghosts to be able to turn the tide. ”

"And what are they going to do?" Chu Zhongtianhu said suspiciously.

Jiang Haoran said: "Don't worry, they will show their feet." ”

After Jiang Haoran finished speaking, he said to Liu Bao and Li Bing: "You two, immediately take over the defense of Lashio and replace the soldiers at the front, they should indeed have a good rest." ”

"Yes!"

The two of them replied with their chests straightened, then turned and walked away quickly.

"Let's go, go to the headquarters!" Jiang Haoran waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the cave, but Chu Zhongtian took this opportunity to take the initiative to set up with Wu Chaowen, and his desire for the chief of staff made him put down his shelf, and he usually didn't care about the commander of the general army.

Bangkok, the headquarters of the Japanese Southern Army.

General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the Japanese Southern Army, had a pale face, sitting at the top of the circular conference table of the headquarters, and below him was a group of silent senior staff officers and generals.

Shouichi Terauchi was silent, but what was tumbling in his mind was the glory of the past.

At the beginning of the war of aggression against China, he was appointed as the commander of the Beizhina Dispatch Army, commanding a total of eight divisions including the First and Second Armies, and attacking the entire North China region with the tactics of quick and quick victory. At the beginning of his tenure, he led the locusts army on the great plain of central Hebei to meet the main force of the central army in the north, relying on powerful firepower and mobility to make a rapid breakthrough, but the front of the army was not yet formed, it was repeatedly broken by the locust army, and the army retreated again and again, and the locust army easily took Baoding and Cangzhou.
