, fear's words reminded Zhuang Jihua. The whole \ this \ small \ said \ net Zhuang Jihua looks at the entire battlefield! After. Sun's suggestion is correct, before he paid too much attention to Mandalay, geographically speaking, Mandalay is the boundary ridge of Myanmar's topography, to the south is the plain, to the north the terrain is gradually raised, the mountains and jungles are dense, so to control Mandalay is equivalent to control half of Myanmar, laying a good foundation for the future recovery of Yangon.

Placing the Japanese army near Lashio not only extended the logistics supply line of the Japanese army, but also allowed the expeditionary force to obtain a short repair after annihilating Watanabe, and then decide whether to continue the operation or return to the country according to the situation, and also avoided putting the New Eighth Army in danger.

"The terrain here is not bad," Shi Guantao thought after looking at it, "But what if the Japanese army continues to make a detour?" ”

"I'm not afraid," Yu Chengwan said, "and we'll continue to retreat north, and our bottom line is Papani Mountain." Immediately hurriedly reported this plan to Commander Zhuang

But giving up Mandalay like this made Yu Chengwan very unwilling, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a way, Zhuang Jihua's telegram came back soon and agreed to their battle plan, but he reminded them that Papani Mountain was to defend the bottom line, under the city of Lashio, the 56th Division and the 22nd Division had been surrounded, and whether they could be completely encircled and annihilated now largely depends on their blocking battle.

Yu Chengwan began to make retreat preparations, and the independent brigade led by Lu Ruishan rushed to Meimiao, which is now basically an empty city, and the original defending British troops have already withdrawn, and the local Burmese residents looted all the supplies left by the British, and then fled into the mountains.

"Damn, hurry up! Before entering the city, he heard Lu Ruishan's loud voice sounding all over the city, Lu Ruishan seemed to like his jeep very much, and he rode around in a jeep everywhere he went, and he was almost invisible in the headquarters, always the deputy brigade commander Su Xiaojun and the chief of staff Shi Yuanxing were guarding the headquarters.

The predecessor of the independent brigade was the Fifth Theater Guard Brigade, which was already well-equipped, after Lu Ruishan served as the brigade commander, because of his relationship with Zhuang Jihua, the equipment was even more sophisticated, what is a good weapon, Zhuang Jihua first thought of it, although it is a brigade establishment, but it is equipped with one hundred and forty vehicles, equipped with howitzers, three of the five regiments are all equipped with Type 39 semi-automatic rifles, and each regiment is also equipped with two flamethrowers, this weapon is imported from the United States, and there is no production capacity in the country at present, The entire 103rd Army was equipped only with separate brigades.

But recently, Lu Ruishan was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, from Kunming to western Yunnan to Mandalay, looking at the little devils all over the place, but he couldn't get it, not to mention Tonggu, he was still in Xiao Town at that time, but Tang Ji didn't let him go, he was already very dissatisfied, if it wasn't for Zhuang Jihua. He had already made trouble at the headquarters.

Now that Yu Chengwan has released the tiger from the cage, Lu Ruishan feels excited, and his jeep has been with the avant-garde regiment on the road. Meimiao is a small city surrounded by mountains, and if you stick to the city, it can easily be surrounded. The avant-garde regiment did not enter Meimiao, but directly climbed the mountain southeast of Meimiao, and Lurui Mountain entered the city with more than a dozen guards.

Not long after they arrived, the second and third regiments also arrived, and Lu Ruishan Lishear sent the second regiment to the east hill, leaving the third regiment in the city. The soldiers immediately quickened their movements, and before Lu Ruishan could shout again, there was a sudden fierce gunfire from a distance, and then an explosion sounded.

"Back to Command...... Hearing the gunshots, Lu Ruishan's blood began to boil, and he jumped into the jeep and ran towards the headquarters.

"Brigade commander, Regiment Commander Lu reported that he had exchanged fire with the devils, and it was estimated that he was the vanguard of the devils, with a strength of about one squadron As soon as he entered the headquarters, Chief of Staff Shi Yuanxing reported to him, he knew Lu Ruishan's quick temper, and he would ask for the enemy situation when he entered the door.

"Where are the 4th and 5th regiments? Artillery battalion to no?. Lu Ruishan strode to the map, the headquarters was also netted, the staff officers and soldiers were still busy arranging, and the two soldiers were nailing the map to the wall.

"Si Ran has already arrived outside the city, and the fifth regiment is rushing to Qiulong Mountain. The artillery has arrived, and artillery positions are being set up in the square in front of the palace. ”

According to the intelligence of the Huaqiao Volunteers, the Japanese army that detoured to Meimiao had two wings, and the Huaqiao Volunteers were an organization formed spontaneously by Huaqiao, Burma, and they provided great help to the expeditionary force in intelligence and logistics.

Lu Ruishan's habit was that the deployment of troops was decided by him. It was carried out by Su Xiaojun and Shi Yuanxing, and this deployment was most likely made by him in a jeep or on horseback. At first, Su Xiaojun and Shi Yuanxing were not used to it, but afterwards they had to admit that his deployment made some sense, at least there was no mistake so far.

"The intelligence said that the devils have two wings, Ma Labazi's, seven thousand little devils, no more, no less, just when Lu Ruishan opened his mouth to speak foul language, the black tower-like body did not move at all, and the body

These two shell guns, he never seemed to want to untie.

The establishment of the independent brigade has long exceeded the brigade-level establishment, this has to be replaced by someone else, it has long been split or upgraded, but Lu Ruishan is not good, everyone knows that he is Zhuang Jihua's guard, and he is Zhuang Jihua's hardcore descendant, Zhuang Jihua also makes no secret of it, what kind of good equipment is sent to him, and the military salary has never been short, so no one dares to attack him easily.

"Don't move the heavy artillery battalion first, so as not to scare these *** away." Lu Ruishan's words are reasonable, the heavy artillery battalion has eight wounded howitzers, and the Japanese army has long known that the squadron has long known that the wounded howitzers are equipped with divisional establishments, which, as soon as the howitzer sounds, the devil will definitely think that Meimiao's expeditionary force is a division, and it is likely to escape.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, 7,000 Japanese troops dared to attack the squadron of an army, even if they were hit repeatedly, they would not dare to attack the squadron of a division.

The gunfire in the distance became more intense, and the range was further expanding, Lu Ruishan couldn't sit still in the headquarters, he stood up and was about to leave, Su Xiaojun frowned, and called him in a stern tone: "Brigade Commander Lu, where are you going again?" You are the commander of a brigade, not a machine gunner, and you have forgotten how you promised Commander Zhuang. ”

After arriving in Mandalay, Zhuang Jihua once came to the Independent Brigade, and when he heard that Lu Ruishan still ran forward as soon as he heard the gunshots, he couldn't help but be very angry, scolded him once, and sternly warned him that if he wanted to do this again, he would be transferred back and continue to serve as his chief of guard, and he would never be allowed to go to the front again. Lu Ruishan was frightened, he knew that Zhuang Jihua could do what he said, and hurriedly promised not to do it again, Zhuang Jihua didn't believe it at all, but instead gave an order to the deputy brigade commander Su Xiaojun and let Su Xiaojun supervise.

Lu Ruishan's footsteps stopped suddenly, he paused before turning around, and went to grab the radio again, Shi Yuanxing shook his head lightly: "Brigade commander, don't worry, they will report, you see, with the habits of little devils, they will definitely continue to detour to the north in the next step, is our defense line expanding to the north again." ”

"No need, that kind of words just belong to the little devil's intentions" Lu Ruishan strode back: The little devil has two wings, 7,000 people, more than 10,000 of us, and he hasn't fired a shot yet, and the morale is high, if he dares to divide the troops, I will dare to eat him, tell the following, don't just be beaten passively, dare to fight back, give me a hard beating! Damn Laba! ”

Lu Ruishan's heart is very high, he is also so qualified, in the defense of Wuhan, the independent brigade once fought with a brigade and a whole division of the Japanese army inseparable, the two sides fought fiercely for seven days before being ordered to retreat, that battle played the majesty of Lu Ruishan. Played the military spirit of the independent brigade.

Su Xiaojun and Shi Yuanxing exchanged looks with each other, they graduated from a regular military academy, Su Xiaojun is the fourth phase of Huangpu, Shi Yuanxing is a Baoding military academy, at the beginning of the network, they still looked down on Lu Ruishan, but later found that although Lu Ruishan did not go to a regular military school, he had a lot of combat experience, and the battlefield was very fast, and because he had not gone to a military school, he did not have the kind of constraints of a military school, and his tactics changed for no reason, which was difficult to understand.

"The fifth regiment sped up, and after arriving at Qiulong Mountain, it immediately sent a search team to search the flank and rear of the Japanese army. I still want to pocket his ass! Lu Ruishan scolded and scolded, and made a line diagonally on the map: "Lao Tzu hit from here, don't enter the city with the fourth regiment, follow the fifth regiment, take a detour!" Damn, what are you doing in the city, let people make dumplings. ”

"What does the brigade commander mean is anti-guest-oriented?" Shi Yuanxing pondered and asked, he was quickly calculating the strength of the attack in his heart, the total strength of the independent brigade is five regiments, plus the battalion directly under the division and the guard battalion, the reconnaissance company, the artillery battalion, the engineer battalion, the total strength of more than 11,000 people, five combat regiments, the combat strength of each regiment is 1,800 people, and if two regiments attack, it is 3,600 people, which is about equal to the strength of a wing of the Japanese army. There are still about two regiments in the city to defend it, and it is enough to deal with some emergencies.

One thing Shi Yuanxing admitted that Lu Ruishan was right, Meimiao is a small city, equivalent to a larger town in China, it is a waste to put too many troops, and two regiments are enough.

"I think it's okay, let Han Xinfa, the head of the fifth regiment, command it in a unified manner." Shi Yuantuo suggested.

Lu Ruishan shook his head and said, "No, let's take a trip from Lao Su." ”

Su Xiaojun nodded in agreement, Shi Yuanxing reacted, this Lu Ruishan looks rough, but he is actually careful, the fourth head Fang Qiming and the fifth head Han Xinfa are not convinced by each other, and they usually fight back and forth. Even the officers and soldiers below are fighting back and forth, let Fu Xinfa command, this Fang Qiming must be very dissatisfied in his heart, if he wants to affect the counterattack because of this, it will be more than worth the loss.
