Gaoligong Mountain, the subtropical broad-leaved forest under the hazy moonlight looks extraordinarily dark, and there is hardly any light to be seen.

In the surging Nu River, you can hear the sound of the waves crashing against the water from a long distance.

Tengchong was once called "the first city on the extreme edge" by Xu Xiake, a traveler in the Ming Dynasty, and it was a fortress on the passage from China to Burma.

The turbulent Nu River and the Gaoligong Mountain, which is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, are the two natural barriers that protect Tengchong.

Due to the Nanjing Nationalist Government and the Yunnan Provincial Government's plan to build the Yunnan-Burma Highway was lost by the super wings of Emperor Cheng, Tengchong has now become the rear of the Anti-Japanese War in southwest Yunnan.

The Yunnan provincial government originally planned to build and widen the Baoshan-Longling-Mangshi-Ruili road, but the construction was halted because the Japanese army occupied Burma too quickly.

In other words, after the Burmese Japanese army wanted to cross the Yunnan-Burma border and capture Ruili, the first thing they faced was the transportation problem. Because, the road from Ruili to Mangshi is too narrow and difficult to walk, which is not conducive to the march of mechanized troops at all. Otherwise, the Japanese army would be able to rely on two legs to make a "No. 11 car".

As the Japanese army gathered more and more troops along the Yunnan-Burma border, the Yunnan army also deployed heavy troops in Ruili, built a large number of tunnels, pillboxes and permanent fortifications, and was fully prepared to fight street battles with the Japanese army in the county.

If the Japanese army could not guarantee air supremacy in Yunnan Province, its so-called Operation Zero plan would be reduced to a piece of waste paper.

In view of the fact that Japan had set up a special large air force following the example of Donghua, Cheng Gong had no choice but to make a big deal to strengthen the air force and air defense forces of the Yunnan-Guizhou coalition army.

In order to find out the situation of the Yunnan army's defense, the Japanese army not only dispatched a large number of intelligence personnel of the special high division, but also used kamikaze special forces in order to obtain the most accurate first-hand intelligence information.

This special operations unit led by Hattori Masao has been operating in southwestern Yunnan for the past month, collecting and sorting out a large amount of topographical and geomorphological intelligence materials, which will provide an important battlefield basis for the southwestern Yunnan campaign that the Japanese army's southern dispatch army is about to launch.

More and more information shows that on the surface, the Donghua Empire claims to be a permanent neutral country and will not participate in the wars of any country, but in fact, the Donghua Empire has been sending a large amount of military supplies and various weapons and equipment to Yunnan and Gui provinces since August last year.

In this regard, the Japanese government also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. It is precisely because of this that the "military conflict incident on Hong Kong Island in East Japan" broke out.

Hattori Masao and his team were unable to participate in the battle between the Imperial Army and the Royal Tung Wah Navy on Hong Kong Island due to other tasks. However, after the incident, Hattori Masao carefully studied and analyzed this short battle through various war reports collected by the military headquarters.

In the end, a conclusion was drawn that this was a typical asymmetric war that the military instructors of the Donghua Empire had once taught them!

Since then, Hattori Masao has seen more clearly the gap in military technology between the Empire of Japan and the Empire of Great Donghua.

The Japanese Empire could defeat any country on the three continents of Europe, the Americas, and Asia, but the Great Donghua Empire, which dominated Oceania, could not be shaken.

And with the Chinese army provided military assistance by the Great Donghua Empire, no matter how poor their strength is, it will also bring incomparably huge war costs to the Great Japanese Empire. It is basically impossible for the Imperial Japanese Army to defeat a regiment of the Chinese Army with a small squad as it did before the "77 Incident".

According to Hattori Masao's idea, he would rather go to India to fight the British army than fight the Chinese army in the mountains of southwestern Yunnan. It's a pity that he, Hattori Masao, is just a junior officer in the kamikaze special forces, and his ideas can't control the dispatch army headquarters at all, let alone the higher-level military headquarters and cabinet.

After dinner, the workers on the construction site of Tengchong Hump Airport returned to their respective jobs, and the dull roar of various construction vehicles once again buried the rare tranquility of nature.

"Hattori-kun, how long do you think it will take for this large military airfield to be completed?"

"They don't stop working machines, working three shifts 24 hours a day, sufficient construction materials, scientific planning and scheduling, and at most three months, this airport can be delivered."

"The day they finish their work will be the hour of destruction!" Nobunari Ono gritted his teeth and whispered.

"The terrain of southwest Yunnan is completely unsuitable for launching a large-scale blitzkrieg." Hattori Masao shook his head and said: "Mechanized troops can't be deployed at all, and those anti-aircraft artillery positions and anti-aircraft machine gun positions built on mountain peaks, under the premise of radar warning, will be a nightmare for any group of aircraft that intends to bomb." ”

"We can preemptively destroy their radar and anti-aircraft fire points with special operations!" Ono Nobunari said confidently.

"We were taught by the special forces of the Donghua Empire, do you think those instructors sent by Donghua to the Yunnan Army will not tell the Yunnan Army troops how to counter special operations?"

Hattori Masao sighed and said: "If you really want to fight Yunnan, the empire can only rely on strong industrial forces to consume the war potential of the Yunnan army in a dignified manner. What you buy can never compare to what you make, and I don't believe that the Donghua Empire will really support Huaxia endlessly regardless of the cost. ”

……

Tengchong and Shun Township, Shuiqi Village, Yuanlong Pavilion.

This was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty of the palace pavilion, three steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, strict vigilance.

In an elegant courtyard in the back wing room of the hundred-foot building, the lights are bright.

In the quaint and exquisite hall, Cheng Gong and Long Zizhou sat in separate places, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite friendly and harmonious.

Cheng Gong suddenly appeared in Tengchong with a light car, and when he first received the news, Long Zizhou was really startled. But then I became very excited.

After learning that Cheng Gong had the idea of buying Yuanlong Pavilion as his foothold in Yunnan Province, Long Zizhou of course actively cooperated, almost half sold and half sent, so he completed the relevant procedures and turned Yuanlong Pavilion into a royal private property of the Donghua Empire abroad.

Since returning to Kunming, Long Zizhou has deeply realized how happy and worrying His Majesty Emperor Jincheng's generosity is.

Happily, Cheng Gong provided too many weapons and equipment and supporting ammunition for the Yunnan army.

The worry is that Long Zizhou does not know what to use to pay off this heavy debt in the future.

Not to mention guns and ammunition, there are 100 Mi-4 helicopters and 300 P51 Mustang fighters alone!

Even if Long Zizhou claimed to be the king of Yunnan, he never had the luxury of expecting that the weapons and equipment of the Yunnan army would be so powerful! Ample! Advanced!

"Brother Zizhou, Yunnan is what it should be in your hands, you don't care about me, I will definitely not interfere in the internal affairs of your Yunnan."

Chatting and chatting, Cheng Gong gave Long Zizhou a reassuring pill in a timely manner, and said with a smile: "I came to western Yunnan this time purely for sightseeing, and by the way, I will give myself a long vacation to relax." ”

"Brother Jincheng, if Yunnan wants to develop, it has to rely on Brother Jincheng for more guidance!" Long Zizhou looked at Cheng Gong very sincerely and said: "Now that the northern section of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway has been completely destroyed, whether the people of western Yunnan can survive the current war catastrophe must rely on the strong support of Brother Jincheng!" ”

"Brother Zizhou, how is the reorganization of the troops progressing now?" Cheng Gong's face suddenly turned pale, and he asked.
