In a small village, twenty kilometers west of Myitkyina, a group of scattered American soldiers panicked into the village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

An American second lieutenant panted and led two of his men into a Burmese compound.

There is a family of five Burmese in the house, but they are all so frightened that they hide in a bedroom and dare not come out, only a few pairs of vigilant and frightened eyes are staring at these dark-skinned, big-nosed American soldiers through the cracks in the windows.

I saw three American soldiers rush into the Burmese kitchen, and soon there was a ping-pong sound in the kitchen.

At this moment, a rush of gunfire and several explosions suddenly came from outside the village. ~Pig ~ Pig ~ Island ~ Small ~ Say ~~~

The three Yankees in the kitchen hurriedly ran out, still holding some leftovers from the Burmese pot.

When the three of them came to the door, they found many of their soldiers running towards the other end of the village in a panic, and the second lieutenant stopped one of them and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Chinese soldiers, Chinese soldiers are chasing after them!"

The second lieutenant was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly took the lead to escape, urging loudly: "Dog! Dog! Dog! Run, those devils are here again! ”

It can be seen how afraid they are of the Chinese pursuers behind.

The reason is that in the past ten hours, they have been attacked by the Chinese army on their own initiative.

In the jungle warfare, this Chinese army exerted its combat power to the extreme, and the continuous reinforcements and powerful air firepower reinforcements gave the US army a great blow.

Under the counteroffensive of the Chinese army, the US military garrisons originally stationed in Gamai and Mogang completely reduced from the attacking side to the defensive side.

In the end, from the defending side, it became a group of routs, and was chased by China's most elite paratrooper ace troops and the tax police corps like a lost dog, and the army was defeated.

At this time, the American troops who came to reinforce Myitkyina were still halfway there.

The news was transmitted back to Baoshan County, and Zhang Lingfu and others hurriedly reported it to Zhang Xinghan.

"The chairman of the committee is really good at knowing people, Baili admires it." Kunming City, Zhang Xinghan's temporary line. After listening to Guo Zhong's report, Jiang Baili praised Zhang Xinghan.

Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have read the information of this Sun Liren, this person graduated from the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, and is a military talent with real talent.

This time, it is also interesting to let him lead the troops to fight fiercely with the Americans in Myitkyina. ”

"This person has the talent of a famous general, and if he achieves it in time, he will definitely not be under Zhang Lingfu." Jiang Baili said.

"Yes, there are so many famous generals in the national army, it's a pity that Chairman Jiang can't make good use of it." Zhang Xinghan remembered the famous anti-Japanese generals in history, in addition to Zhang Lingfu, there were also Dai Anlan and Liao Yaoxiang. All of them are brave and good fighters who have fought the Japanese invaders in history.

"Send a telegram to Sun Liren, and specially promote him to major general of the army, responsible for the unified command of the Myitkyina defensive campaign." Zhang Xinghan thought about it and said angrily to Guo Zhong.

"Yes." Guo Zhong hurriedly answered and left.

Jiang Baili said: "Commission, this Sun Liren does not seem to have joined the Kuomintang, if you use it well, you should be able to follow the commissioner to serve the country!" ”

"I know that this is the intention of promoting him to major general." Zhang Xinghan said.

"However, I'm afraid that Jiang Gong's side will not be dissatisfied." Jiang Baili was a little worried.

"It's nothing. We are just routine, Sun Liren fought well in Myitkyina, and he was promoted because of merit, and he didn't say anything about public or private. Even if Jiang Gong is not satisfied, he can only scold me behind my back and let out a bad anger. Zhang Xinghan said with a look of indifference.

Jiang Baili smiled and didn't say much, now Zhang Xinghan's prestige in the Chinese nation and the military strength under his command are second to none, even if Jiang Gong is very dissatisfied. I didn't dare to turn my face with Zhang Xinghan at this time.

What's more, Zhang Xinghan has already ceded the southwest and even the upcoming Burma to him, weighing the pros and cons. He will continue to endure it.

At the same time that Sun Liren commanded the troops to take the initiative to attack the wolves of the American troops around Myitkyina, Lashio was in the direction.

After Du Yuming led reinforcements to join up with the 3rd Airborne Regiment and was reinforced by an elite tax police regiment, he launched several hard-fought onslaughts with several regiments of American troops who arrived from all over Lashio.

After a day and a night of bloody fighting, with the strong firepower support of the Air Force, the reinforcements of the American Army were finally defeated and the siege of Lashio was relieved.

At this time, after a day and a night of rapid marching, Colonel Morgan of the 1st Airborne Division of the US Army also rushed to the area north of Lashio with a mechanized infantry regiment.

Rendezvous with the rout there.

Knowing that the counteroffensive forces of the three regiments had been defeated by the Chinese defenders of Lashio, Morgan, who was holding back his anger, was furious.

Immediately gathered the rout, with the infantry regiment he brought with him as the main force, and pounced on Lashio again.

Inside the city of Lashio, the garrison headquarters.

Du Yuming was discussing the military situation with his subordinate right-hand man Dai Anlan and several other staff adjutants.

Suddenly, a reconnaissance platoon commander arrived from outside.

Saluted Du Yuming, Dai Anlan and others: "Ladies and gentlemen, five kilometers north of Lashio, there are traces of American troops, and the strength is about one or two regiments, which are marching towards Lashio. ”

"Two regiments?" Du Yuming frowned when he heard this, glanced at Dai Anlan, and said, "This should be the reinforcements of the US army from the front line, and the Yankees are fast enough." ”

Dai Anlan nodded in agreement: "Well, it should be right." However, the U.S. military only sent two regiments, and he was a little arrogant, thinking that with the strength of these two regiments, he could capture Lashio, which we had three regiments defending. Wish for the moon. ”

Du Yuming looked at the map and said: "The enemy is five kilometers away, just talk, Adjutant Li, immediately send my order, and each regiment is ready to fight!" ”

A lieutenant adjutant hurriedly responded and took the order to leave.

…………

The White House, Office of the President.

Hearing that Lashio and Myitkyina had been lost, the 100,000 U.S. troops on China's southwestern border were in danger of being cut off.

Roosevelt finally couldn't sit still, and while sending a telegram to MacArthur urging him to resolve this unprecedented crisis no matter what, he summoned Marshall to urgently discuss countermeasures.

"Mr. President, although the reason for such a crisis situation in the war situation in Myanmar is partly caused by the carelessness of the front-line commanders, the main reason is that our army has lost air supremacy in Burma.

Without air supremacy, all units will be extremely passive in their actions, and they will not be able to give full play to their original combat strength, which will then lead to the deterioration of the war situation. Marshall said in a bloody battle: "If we want to save the current crisis situation, we must immediately send more air force pilots and fighters to Mandalay and other airports."

Even if these fighters cannot compete with the fighters of the Chinese Air Force, they must be maintained in a certain number so that they can provide the necessary fire support to our ground forces when necessary. ”

"In the unlikely event that the Chinese Air Force strikes airports in Mandalay and other places, won't that cause even greater casualties and losses?" Roosevelt remembered the outcome of his first air battle with the Chinese army in the Pacific.

I am afraid that I will repeat the mistakes of the past, after all, although those planes are not advanced enough, they are all the hard-earned tax money of the American people.

Moreover, the sacrifice of a large number of pilots' lives will also have an impact on the popular approval rating of his own president.

"This requires strengthening the air defense force, compared with 100,000 army officers, even if it is cost-effective to pay some air casualties, or we must go this way." Marshall Road.

Roosevelt nodded nondeniably.

…………

Mandalay, U.S. Army Command.

"General, the counteroffensive in the Myitkyina and Lashio directions has ended in failure, the counteroffensive forces have suffered extremely heavy losses, and the situation is still critical." Colonel Mick reported the battle to MacArthur with a heavy face.

Seeing that MacArthur did not speak, Colonel Mick added: "On another point, the 34th Regiment led by Colonel Morgan has arrived at Lashio and is currently conducting a counteroffensive in histopathology. ”

After hearing this, MacArthur stood up and looked at the map and said: "Without air supremacy, the price to be paid for such a counteroffensive will be staggering!"

I had to send a telegram to the President's Cabinet and the General Command of the Pacific Theater of Operations, asking them to immediately send in additional air forces. ”

As soon as MacArthur's words fell, another communications adjutant walked in excitedly, snapped forward and saluted: "General, the president has called, a large number of warplanes have been loaded and shipped, and pilots are also being dispatched. ”

"Air Force?" MacArthur was stunned for a moment, then showed two rows of white teeth and said with a smile: "Great, with the support of the air force, the 100,000 troops on the front line can be successfully withdrawn!" ”

"Colonel Mick, please send a telegram to Morgan immediately, ask him to postpone the counterattack, first gather his troops as much as possible and stand by, and at the same time telegraph to Dai Jinen to send effective troops to defend the area of Tengchong and Longling to block the frontal counterattack of the Chinese army.

He led the main force to withdraw from China as soon as possible, and counterattacked Myitkyina and Lashio with absolute superiority in troops. ”

"Yes!" Colonel Mick hurriedly wrote them down, and then turned around and took the order.

On the mountain road from Longling to Songshan, the combined forces of the Dian Army and the Central Army were launching wave after wave of onslaught against the American army.

Since the start of the counteroffensive on all fronts two days ago, the US military has switched to a full-scale defensive position.

The counterattack forces composed of the Dian Army, the Central Army, and the Sichuan Army broke through the American defense line one after another, and finally counterattacked less than 20 miles east of Longling.

In order to ensure the continuous increase of troops in Longling, the two sides launched a fierce battle here.

Although the Southwest Frontier Army paid heavy casualties, it was still unable to defeat the American army and approached the city of Longling.

However, it also caused great casualties to the US military.

The battlefield is located on a wasteland, and on either side of the wasteland are steep and steep mountain peaks in the distance.

In the trenches at the forefront of the position of the Southwest National Army, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Central Army were holding steel guns, sitting in the trenches to rest and eat, waiting for the next offensive order.
