The east coast has been completely enveloped in smoke and raging fire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The soldiers of the Dian army could only hold their heads and lie dead in the improvised trench fortifications, and explosions continued to occur around them.

Kick up clouds of dirt that may have flesh and limbs in it, and shoot it all over the sky.

The air was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

The earth-shattering explosion almost deafened the eardrums of the soldiers of the Dian army.

Inside the city, the headquarters of the 34th Brigade.

&nbs{pig}{pig}{island}novel{zhuzhu][dao}p; Listening to the continuous violent explosions outside the city, Adjutant Chen couldn't help but say with a worried face: "Didn't this air force already bomb the Yankees' position just now, why the fucking artillery fire didn't seem to be affected at all." ”

General Cun Xingqi sat on a wooden stool and said with a heavy face: "It is very likely that the bombing of the Air Force did not accurately fall on the heads of the Americans." ”

"Didn't fall on the Americans?" Although Adjutant Chen is also from the Yunnan Lecture and Martial Arts Hall, he still lacks sufficient understanding of the importance of ground-air joint operations and radio communications.

Cun Xingqi didn't answer, but instructed him: "You immediately contact the frontier and ask how the situation is at the frontier." ”

Unexpectedly, the strange voice fell, and the phone in the brigade headquarters rang rapidly.

Adjutant Chen picked up the phone casually: "Hey, I'm here at the brigade headquarters, what?" What did you say? ”

Adjutant Chen's face changed greatly, and after putting down the phone, he turned to Cun Xingqi and said: "Brigade seat, the artillery fire of the US army is too fierce, and the brothers of the Second Regiment have suffered heavy casualties, and several of them have lost contact. ”

"Tell Cheng Blind that no matter how fierce the Americans' artillery fire is, his second regiment must hold on to me, even if he is the only one left in the whole regiment, he must hold on to me until dark!" Inch Xingqi said angrily.

"Yes." Adjutant Chen quickly picked up the phone again and conveyed the order.

When the U.S. artillery fire began to extend, the thick smoke of gunpowder slowly dissipated. The surviving soldiers of the 2nd Regiment of the Dian Army were able to shake off the dirt and show their heads.

When the smoke slowly dissipated and the vision was clear, the surviving soldiers were horrified to find that there was an extra steel pontoon bridge on the originally steep Longchuan River.

Moreover, an American tank was already taking the lead and roaring along the pontoon bridge towards the east bank.

Faintly visible, the tank was followed by groups of Anglo-American soldiers.

"Sir, no, the Yankees are coming." In the trenches at the forefront, one of the surviving Dian soldiers shouted at the top of his throat.

A company commander of the Dian army, whose leg was injured by raging shrapnel, dragged his wounded leg and crawled to the edge of the trench. Holding up the binoculars and looking at it, he immediately endured the painful cry and shouted: "Brothers, fire at me immediately, and we must not let the American devils pass through us!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, he himself picked up a Hanyang-made rifle that had been smoothed out and shot tenaciously.

The surviving fighters in the trenches also opened fire, but they had already suffered heavy casualties from the American bombardment and artillery shelling, and the weapons in their hands were extremely backward.

Therefore, the bullets fired were extremely scattered and loose, and I saw that the US tank that hit the head burst out some sparks from time to time.

But. But it could not stop the charge of the American tanks in the slightest.

The surviving soldiers of the Dian Army in the rear companies also opened fire one after another.

The firepower was still not intensive, and the black barrel of the unimpeded US M4 tank slowly turned, and with a bang, a shell was fired.

It landed on the trenches of the Dian army and exploded. Two soldiers of the Dian Army, who were shooting stubbornly, died heroically on the spot.

Seeing that a large number of American troops were about to rush over under the cover of tank fighting vehicles, the commanders at all levels of the Dian army issued orders to charge with bayonets.

The sparse firepower in the hands, coupled with the dilemma of insufficient ammunition. Engaging in a white-knuckle battle with your opponent is the last resort.

However, when hundreds of soldiers of the Dian army roared angrily and rushed out of the trenches and rushed towards the American army. The tank soldier of the US army said with a surprised face: "Oh my God, what are these Chinese going to do?" Is it to be sent to death? ”

The Anglo-American coalition forces, as well as the Burmese and Indian servants, stepped forward one after another, relying on the tanks and firing fiercely.

Semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns fire a dense network of bullets.

The soldiers of the Dian army who charged to the death were constantly shot, and they fell in pieces.

Blood stained the banks of the Longchuan River, and the tragic sacrifices of the soldiers of the Dian army could not stop the attack of the Anglo-American coalition army and its servant army coordinated by Butan.

The main force of the 2nd Regiment deployed by the 34th Brigade on the east bank of the Longchuan River was almost completely lost in less than two hours.

More than 1,000 British and American troops broke through the defense line of the Second Regiment and fought a fierce battle with reinforcements led by Cun Xingqi himself outside the city.

After a bloody battle, under the strong firepower of the American army, the reinforcements led by General Cun Xingqi suffered heavy casualties and were forced to withdraw to Longling County to continue to resist.

The Anglo-American coalition forces launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on the defenders of Longling County, with the main attack of the servant army, supplemented by heavy fire such as tanks and artillery.

By the afternoon of the fierce battle, the two regiments under General Cun Xingqi had suffered most of the casualties, while the casualties of the British and American forces were not large, and the biggest casualties were their servants.

Outside the city, corpses were strewn everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed.

Although the U.S. Army had artillery, tanks, and strong firepower from the air force, the officers and men of the Longling garrison exerted extremely tenacious combat effectiveness under the command and leadership of General Cun Xingqi.

In the decisive battle of Bairen, the Indian Ah San and the Burmese barbarians were not their opponents at all.

In the evening, the U.S. army stopped the offensive, and Tang Huaiyuan, the commander of the Third Army, who had been following the progress of the battle on the front line, personally ordered the remnants of the army to withdraw from Longling County.

At the same time, he sent a telegram to General Long Yun, who was far away in Nanjing, explaining the situation at the front and the practical difficulties of the backward equipment and insufficient logistics of the Yunnan army.

Please, General Long Yun, please ask the Central Committee if it can be resolved.

That night, General Cun Xingqi led hundreds of remnants to evacuate Longling County and retreat to Songshan.

However, the Anglo-American forces were unaware, and when they planned to attack at dawn, they were surprised to find that the Chinese defenders of Longling had withdrawn.

Then they entered the county town of Longling, and the commander of the coalition army, Morgen, sent another force to pursue, but it was too late. General Cun Xingqi had already withdrawn to Songshan with his subordinates and joined Zhao Sandao's group.

…………

In Nanjing, Zhang Xinghan was in the reception room to meet the actual Wang Longyun of Yunnan.

"Commission, last night, the front-line commander Tang Huaiyuan called again, the British and American coalition forces have strong firepower, and they have air force support.

However, our border guards are poorly equipped and backward, and their ammunition is not sufficient, and the most important thing is the lack of radio communication equipment.

So that our air force stationed in Kunming. Precise air support is simply not available.

As a result, our front-line troops have suffered great losses.

The Inch Strange Division, which was stationed on the front line of Longling, lost nearly two regiments in one day yesterday, and has now been forced to withdraw from Longling and retreat to Songshan.

If Songshan is lost again, then the strategic points west of the Nu River will be lost. ”

Zhang Xinghan listened carefully to Long Yun's report, and after he finished speaking, he nodded and said, "Brother Zhizhou, I already have some understanding of the actual situation of the Yunnan border guards.

Chiang Gong's Central Army was on its way to the front. General Tang Huaiyuan is asked to hold out for a few days, as long as reinforcements arrive, I believe that the enemy's attack can be contained. ”

Long Yun said a little anxiously: "Commission, Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain are extremely important strategic places on the west bank of the Nujiang River.

If captured by American troops. Even if our reinforcements are able to hold it back at the Nu River and confront it across the river.

In the future, if you want to cross the Nu River and regain the lost territory, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

And once the US military occupies such a strategic location. It will be in a favorable situation of attacking and retreating, and our side will face great military pressure at that time. ”

Seeing Long Yun's humble and eager attitude, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's do it." I immediately instructed the Shenyang Arsenal to prepare a batch of weapons and ammunition for the front-line troops, and airdrop them to the east bank of the Nu River through the air force, so as to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops. ”

"So good, so good." Long Yun said excitedly: "Long has tens of thousands of soldiers in my Yunnan army, thank you for your generous support!" ”

"You're welcome, the soldiers are all serving the country and the nation, and I should too." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand, and then ordered Guo Zhong to send electricity to the northeast.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Shenyang Arsenal in northeastern China urgently raised 10,000 Chinese rifles, 3,000 MP18 submachine guns, more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, and a large number of bullets, grenades, and other light weapons.

The Air Force's C-47 transport fleet was urgently airdropped to Baoan County, on the east bank of the Nu River.

Tang Huaiyuan, commander of the Third Army, immediately distributed weapons and ammunition according to the actual number of combat personnel of the two brigades on the front line, and with the free help of the local people, sent them to the important places of Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain.

The defenders of Tengchong's Third Army were also forced to withdraw to Gaoligong Mountain at noon that day.

Formed a corner with the 34th Brigade of Songshan and held the last position on the west bank of the Nu River.

Brand-new Hanyang-made rifles and a large number of submachine guns and machine guns were obtained, and the firepower of the Inch Xingqi and other parts was greatly strengthened.

In the afternoon of the same day, a Burmese servant army of more than 500 men attempted to launch an attack on the Songshan defensive line.

As a result, it was hit by the powerful fire of the Dian army, which had already changed its clothes, leaving behind more than 200 corpses and fleeing in a hurry.

At the same time, inside the city of Nanjing.

"Brother Baili, it seems that it is difficult for the Dian army to hold out until the central army arrives.

The level of equipment of the Americans is much more advanced than theirs. Zhang Xinghan said worriedly, after all, the Dian army lost Tengchong and Longling, two important towns on the west bank of the Nu River, in less than a day.

And its own casualties are still very large.

"Commission, the backward level of the Dian army's tactical level and equipment level is not something that can be changed overnight.

At present, it is imperative to find a way to transfer capable troops to assist them in holding the important places of Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain.

As long as these two places can be defended, then Longling and Tengchong and other places will have a chance to take them back at any time. Jiang Baili said.
