After listening to Jiang Baili's analysis, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then send a telegram to Zhang Lingfu and order him to immediately assign me to his two airborne regiments and parachute to the Nujiang front." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It also allows the Americans to appreciate the combat effectiveness of the No. 1 ace unit under my command! See what the real elite is! ”

"Well, I think it works. As long as General Wang Longxiang's airborne troops can be stationed in Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain, it will be foolproof. Jiang Baili nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Zhang Xinghan instructed Guo Zhong to convey his orders.

"What is our 1st Fleet for? It was even easy for the Chinese to successfully attack the Luzon naval base! Roosevelt was furious when he received a report from Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the Combined Forces in the Pacific.

"Mr. President, the air raids on Luzon have shown that the consequences of not having air supremacy are extremely terrible." With the outbreak of war in Europe and war in Asia and China, Marshall, Roosevelt's newly appointed Chief of the Army Staff, suggested to Roosevelt: "Therefore, I suggest that Your Excellency the President should immediately order the supply of more warplanes and submarines to the war in the Pacific."

And as many anti-aircraft weapons as possible to curb the Chinese wreaking havoc over the Pacific Ocean.

Until our aircraft manufacturers produce more advanced fighters. ”

Although Roosevelt increased the number of aircraft sent to the Pacific by this time, it was likely that the American air forces would suffer even greater losses.

But it had to be done, and the officers and men of the U.S. Navy and Army had to see their fighters flying in the sky in order to maintain their morale and combat effectiveness.

Marshall paused and said, "In addition to sending more fighters and pilots, we must also order all fleets in the Pacific to unite and organize an air raid and bombing operation against the Chinese mainland."

In order to boost the morale and morale of the military, which has been seriously frustrated, and the trust of the American people in us. ”

Roosevelt thought for a moment and said, "Send a telegram to Nimitz immediately, and leave this matter to him in full charge within a month." I must hear about the Chinese capital being attacked by air, no matter what the cost. ”

In Chengdu, Sichuan, Jiang Gong has moved here from Wuhan with He Yingqin, Zhang Zhizhong and other henchmen.

Before them, the Central Command came to Chengdu to find out the situation, and felt that the forces in Chengdu were mixed in all aspects, and the situation was somewhat complicated.

Jiang Gong and others moved to Chongqing again, and it was here that they gained a foothold.

At the same time, the main force of about 450,000 Central Army has basically all entered Sichuan, and some of them have rushed to the front line of Yunnan border defense under the leadership of Du Yuming and Hu Zongnan.

The other 150,000 horses commanded by Gu Zhutong entered Guangxi from Hunan.

Two of Zhang Lingfu's elite divisions were also ordered to go to the Yunnan border to support the Yunnan army in the battle.

Of course, this was approved by Zhang Xinghan. Otherwise, even if Zhang Lingfu had the heart to defect to Chairman Chiang, he would not be able to transfer most of the officers of these two divisions.

Because many people are closely monitored by the Secret Service and the Military Command Bureau.

It is equivalent to Zhang Xinghan giving these troops double insurance.

Because Chairman Jiang no longer trusted Zhang Lingfu, he naturally would not stay with him, so Zhang Lingfu personally set off with the army.

The road at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan is not easy to walk, and the military jeep that Zhang Lingfu is riding in is very slow.

A communications soldier with a radio on his back caught up with him.

Salute him: "General, the chairman of the committee sent an urgent telegram from Nanjing. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Lingfu immediately ordered the jeep, which was already moving very slowly, to stop, and asked, "What are the instructions of the chairman?" ”

"Commissioned orders. The airborne troops assigned to us immediately landed on the Nujiang front line and rushed to the aid of the Yunnan army. The communications soldier opened the message and read.

When Zhang Lingfu heard this, he immediately instructed the signal soldiers: "Immediately prepare a telegram and send an order." The Airborne Troops, the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment, immediately set off to help the Nujiang frontline ......! ”

The Signal Soldier snapped up and saluted. Turned around and walked away quickly, and went to the side to generate electricity.

After the signal corps left, Zhang Lingfu said to one of the attendant adjutants accompanying the car: "Order all troops immediately." Immediately speed up the march, the border defense is urgent, we should get there as soon as possible. ”

Longling County, the headquarters of the Anglo-American coalition forces.

Morgan, who had been promoted to colonel, was facing the map with a blue face, and he planned and organized three attacks, all of which ended in failure.

Although most of the losses were Indian and Burmese servants.

However, the Songshan important place occupied by the Chinese army has indeed become an insurmountable barrier for the British and American allied forces, and its existence has greatly affected the morale and combat willpower of the allied forces.

"Your Excellency, Songshan is very high, the terrain is steep, and it is extremely precipitous, and the Chinese army is defending against it, and although our air force and artillery fire have carried out heavy bombardment against it, it has achieved little success.

Tanks were unable to provide any assistance to the attacking forces because of the terrain.

Such a battle really cannot continue any longer, otherwise our soldiers will most likely mutiny. A British colonel suggested to Morgan.

The British, the Britons of the Far East Army, are accustomed to enjoying glory and wealth, and they are willing to fight hard with the Chinese army in this rarely populated ravine.

So, when their servant army suffered heavy casualties and failed to break through the Chinese defenses, many of the British officers had already retreated.

The British army here is basically a mess of eating and waiting for death, and they can't figure out how the local prime minister can win the war and help the Americans fight.

Because, in their opinion, the Chinese did not attack them.

With such a mentality, the combat effectiveness of these British troops can be imagined.

It's not even as good as the Burmese monkeys under their command, and it's slightly better than the Indian Asan.

Mo was a little impatient at all, coupled with his youthful vigor, he immediately looked at him angrily: "Colonel Reese, as a senior officer, I hope you don't make any moves that affect morale, because the consequences will be serious."

In addition, let me tell you, our reinforcements will soon arrive, an elite reinforced regiment of American Airborne Forces, nearly three thousand people. ”

When Colonel Reece heard this, he bowed his head angrily, turned and left.

After Reece left, Morgan said to one of his subordinates, "Send someone to keep an eye on him, and if he wants to do anything that dishonors the honor of a soldier, kill him!" ”

"But, Your Excellency, there are more Brits than we are, and besides, he's a colonel." The second lieutenant who came as a paratrooper had some concerns.

Morgen looked at him and said solemnly: "Second lieutenant, you are a soldier, you should know what a soldier should do, right?" ”

"Yes, sir, the first thing a soldier needs to do is to obey orders." The second lieutenant said.

"Then go and do as I say." Colonel Morgan said.

"Yes, sir!" The second lieutenant said no more and was ordered to leave.

Songshan, the defensive position of the 34th Brigade of the Yunnan Army.

General Cun Xingqi walked around the trenches with a team of guards, and was making rounds.

When the officers and men saw the arrival of the brigade commander, they stood up one after another.

"Brothers, I have been informed that Chairman Zhang of the Central Committee has dispatched two airborne regiments to reinforce us, and this time Songshan will be safe!" Inch Xingqi happily announced to the officers and soldiers.

"Brigade seat, what is the formation of the airborne regiment? Are they awesome? A big-headed soldier asked curiously.

Cun Xingqi smiled and said: "This airborne regiment is the airborne troops, which are transported by aircraft and directly airborne from the air to the combat area.

As for whether they are powerful or not, they are the most advanced equipment and the most well-trained ace unit under Chairman Zhang today.

It is said that he also parachuted into Tokyo, Japan, a year ago, and participated in the siege of the Japanese capital.

In that battle, with more than 5,000 troops of two regiments, he managed to block the attack of tens of thousands of Japanese reinforcements, and it was best to capture the Japanese emperor alive. ”

As soon as these words came out, the officers and soldiers present all exclaimed, such a powerful unit, the officers and soldiers were very much looking forward to their arrival, looking forward to being able to fight side by side with them.

"Brigade, our weapons are really easy to use now, and they are much easier to use than those old sleeves before." Another soldier raised his rifle in his hand with some smugness.

Inch Xingqi smiled: "It's easy to use, but our weapon is not advanced, at best it can only be regarded as a second-rate weapon."

Did you see any of the American weapons that were seized? That's the most advanced rifle available today, semi-automatic, which can shoot up to eight rounds of ammunition and is far more powerful than the mid-range rifles in our hands.

Chairman Zhang's elite is basically equipped with this weapon. ”

"When will we be able to equip semi-automatic rifles?" The soldier asked, looking wistful.

"It shouldn't be long before I think everything will be there." Inch strange yearning.

What they didn't know was that the coalition and servant armies attacking them, except for a small number of American paratroopers, were armed with the new Garand semi-automatic rifles.

Most of the British and Servant armies were armed with hand-held rifles, some of which were not even as good as the mid-form.

This is mainly due to the fact that the Garand semi-automatic rifles that are now mass-produced by the US military are still being supplied to their own national armies on a priority basis.

Both the British and French armies in the Far East had ready-made weapons, which is why they were able to compete with the attackers with their mid-range rifles.

If the enemy army was all equipped with advanced American equipment, their casualties would probably be much greater.

"Brigade, brigade, just now there was a call from the other side of the river to inform you that an airborne regiment has successfully landed on the east bank and is converging, and it is about to cross the river to meet us." A communications adjutant ran panting down the traffic trench to report.

Cun Xingqi said happily: "Very good, Adjutant Chen, you immediately take the guard company and go to the ferry to meet the friendly troops who are reinforcing you." ”

Adjutant Chen hurriedly stood up: "Yes!" He immediately turned around and took the order to leave.

After taking the guards around again, he turned around and returned to the headquarters in the cave. (To be continued......)
