However, the earth-shattering explosion was not over, and in the dark night sky, another group of Chinese planes roared in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The aimless dive and strafing of the burning city of Lashio had a posture of not giving up until the dense rain of bullets was tilted.

In a panic, the U.S. military did not notice that the Chinese fighters that were swooping by quietly dropped poison gas bombs.

The russet smoke of poison gas was impossible to distinguish in the darkness of the night.

It is conceivable what kind of situation the people in the city will encounter under this double bombardment.

 [Pig_Pig_Island] Novel; Half an hour later, the bombardment of the air force finally stopped, and the officers and men of the 3rd Airborne Regiment outside the city were already impatient, and they could not wait to rush towards the city as soon as the air raid stopped.

Wearing gas masks, they quietly entered the city like ghosts, and this time they did not encounter any resistance, except for the ruins of the walls and buildings that were still burning in the city, there was no living American army to resist.

An hour later, Baoshan County, the general headquarters of the Southwest Frontier Army's resistance to the former enemy of the United States.

Zhang Lingfu, Tang Huaiyuan, and Zhang Xinghua, who had already returned home, were sitting together anxiously waiting for the battle situation in the direction of Lashio.

Suddenly, a communications adjutant hurriedly walked in from outside, and saluted Zhang Lingfu snapped: "Commander-in-chief, the third airborne regiment is calling, they have captured the whole city of Lashio, and the US troops in the city have been annihilated!" ”

"Great!" Zhang Lingfu and the three of them stood up one after another when they heard this, and his face finally showed a smile, and said to Zhang Xinghua and Tang Huaiyuan: "Great, if Lashio is taken, we will successfully cut off the retreat of the American army, and then it is time to order a counterattack on all fronts!" ”

"Well, Chairman Zhang has already telegraphed several times in Kunming to instruct that regardless of whether Lashio can be taken tonight, all our front-line troops will launch an attack on the enemy in front of them in order to contain the main force of the US army.

It's time. Tang Huaiyuan nodded solemnly.

"Now Lashio has been successfully won. It is estimated that the reinforcements of a regiment led by General Du Yuming should have almost arrived, and even if the US reinforcements arrived, it would not be a problem to hold on to Lashio.

It's true that you can attack on all fronts. Zhang Xinghua also nodded in agreement.

"Good." Zhang Lingfu immediately turned around and instructed the communications adjutant: "Immediately order all the troops in the front line to immediately take the initiative to launch a full-scale counterattack against the US troops in front of them!" ”

"Yes." The communications adjutant answered, and quickly turned to leave.

Mandalay, General Command of the Southeast Asian Theater of Operations of the U.S. Army.

MacArthur no longer had the same composure and composure as he used to be, from the moment he received the success of the Chinese army's overnight raid on Lashio airport and railway station a few hours ago.

He was completely sleepy, and although it was past three o'clock in the morning, MacArthur was still smoking a cigar. The inside of the headquarters was filled with smoke, and even the lights were obscured a little.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps that were not heavy reached MacArthur's ears, and he immediately looked up.

I saw Colonel Mick holding a telegram and walking towards him with a solemn face.

Seeing Mick's expression, MacArthur's heart sank.

Sure enough, in the face of MacArthur's eager inquiring gaze, Colonel Mick seemed to have forgotten to salute, and said gloomily, "General." The Chinese army carried out a large-scale bombardment of Lashio and used poison gas bombs, and the defenders, including Major General Mack, did not spare more than 5,000 people, and all of them were killed. ”

MacArthur's eyes were glazed over, and the cigar in his hand was still silently smoking. After a long time, he put the cigar back into his mouth, and said with a trembling hand: "Order Daikin to retreat immediately, and send the vanguard to cooperate with our troops around Lashio and Myitkyina." Before the main forces arrive, we must recapture these two places and open up the communication between the main forces of our front line and the rear forces. ”

Colonel Mick made a note of it. Before he could receive the order, a communications soldier had already hurried in and gave MacArthur a brief salute: "General, General Daykinn is in a hurry, a large number of Chinese troops on the front line of the Nu River have suddenly launched a large-scale counterattack on the front line of our army.

The forward positions have been broken through in many places, and General Dikinn is organizing troops to resist. ”

MacArthur's hand could no longer hold the cigar that he usually held as if it were nothing, and it quietly fell to the ground, blooming a small stream of sparks.

Seeing him like this, Colonel Mick hurriedly asked: "General, the situation has not yet reached the point of no return, and our top priority is that although we can find a way to recapture Myitkyina and Lashio, as long as these two places can be recaptured, our main force will not be in any danger."

Although the commander of the Chinese army was cunning and took the opportunity to launch a frontal attack, I think it would be okay for General Dikin to send a few regiments back to Myitkyina and Lashio, right? ”

MacArthur pondered for a while before he nodded, took two deep breaths, and said to Mick: "Colonel, send a telegram to Dikinn immediately, and ask him to find out as soon as possible how the Chinese army managed to quietly and successfully carry out the airborne landing under such a complicated and difficult situation at night?" ”

"Yes!" Colonel Mick hurriedly turned away with the signal man.

Kunming City, Chairman Zhang.

Zhang Xinghan was also woken up by Guo Zhong overnight, put on his clothes and shoes, Zhang Xinghan walked out of the bedroom and asked, "Zhongzi, what's the situation?" ”

Guo Zhong said excitedly: "Commission, Zhang Lingfu and others have just called from Baoshan County, and the Third Airborne Regiment of our army has successfully captured Lashio and completely annihilated the defenders in the city, so far all have completed the first strategic plan to cut off the retreat of the American army."

At the same time, the former enemy command had ordered the 70,000-strong troops gathered on the front line of the Nu River to launch a counteroffensive against the US troops on all fronts. ”

"Very good, so that I can sleep peacefully, nothing important, don't call me before dawn, let me have a good rest." Zhang Xinghan is very sleepy now, and it was twelve o'clock when he discussed the war with Jiang Baili, and he hadn't slept for a few hours.

was woken up by Guo Zhong, so after speaking, Zhang Xinghan walked back to the bedroom with a haha.

Guo Zhong closed the door for him, and then turned to leave.

In Longling City, the General Headquarters of the US Army Front.

The gloomy Dai Jinen was listening to Morgan's noise at the moment, and Dai Jinen was also attacked because Myitkyina and Lashio were attacked successively.

Immediately after that, the Chinese army on the opposite side suddenly launched a counteroffensive, so I couldn't sleep all night.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot.

"General, please approve the humble duty to lead an infantry brigade to launch a counter-charge against the Chinese army in front of you, and the humble duty guarantees that you will be victorious, and maybe you can take the opportunity to capture Songshan." Morgan babbled.

Finally, the distraught Deckin couldn't stand it anymore and roared, "That's enough, Colonel Morgan, I order you to shut me up immediately, and get me out of here right now!" ”

Morgan was startled by his sudden roar, and when he saw that he had ordered the expulsion of guests, his face turned blue with anger, and he snorted coldly and turned to leave, but in his heart he scolded the cowardly and capable Dai Jinen ancestor for eighteen generations.

After Morgan left, one of Dekkim's cronies whispered, "General, Morgan is a warmonger, and now General Mack has ordered us to retake Myitkyina and Lashio."

He wants to fight the Chinese army so much, I think, you might as well give him two regiments and let him take them to counterattack Myitkyina or Lashio. ”

Although Dykinn was angry, as soon as he heard this suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up, he really didn't like Morgan, a brave and unscrupulous guy, relying on himself to be General MacArthur's henchman, always shouting and pointing fingers in front of him.

He immediately nodded and said, "Very good, just do as you say, you immediately go and convey my meaning, no, it is a military order to him, let him directly lead a regiment to Lashio, and warn him for me, if you can't take Lashio back, I will send him to a military court." ”

At Myitkyina West Airport, as soon as it was dawn, an elite regiment of the tax police corps led by Sun Liren arrived in a helicopter group of army airplanes.

Last night, after the army aviation troops airlifted Du Yuming's reinforcements to Lashio, they urgently returned to Baoshan Airport to load Sun Liren's department.

After more than two hours of rapid flight, they finally reached Myitkyina, which was already in the midst of war.

As soon as the helicopter landed, Sun Liren, who was dressed in military uniform, jumped down first and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, come down immediately, gather immediately, and prepare for battle!" (To be continued......)
