Takeda Yokoji seemed to be determined to succeed, and looked around at everyone and said, "The enemy's fighter planes have arrived in Lashio this evening, and the convoy will leave tomorrow morning. To-morrow at noon the wagons of the enemy convoy will arrive in Denny, and we will set up an ambush in Denny. As for the Burmese people, they can't count on them at all, even if they don't care about them, even if they contribute to the Japanese Empire. This time, the Hanoi Command sent 20 of the best gunners and a capable covering detachment, and I personally commanded this operation! Several of his subordinates obeyed.

After dark, Yokoji Takeda led his subordinates to set off quietly, and the night soon swallowed their figures. When the Japanese commandos were moving, the Lashio railway station was indeed very lively.

The dim lights on the platform brightened and the scenery was clearly visible. A flatbed train slowly stopped on the side of the platform, and as the panting sound of the front of the train weakened, the train carriages stopped moving, and one fighter plane after another showed "hideous" faces. Each flatbed train carries two warplanes, which are wrapped in a green canvas that appears black-gray in the light. Two mechanical booms rumbled over and were ready, and the long carriages lined up in turn, and the machine unloading booms hoisted the fighters onto the wagons.

The British soldiers around the platform were heavily guarded, as if they were facing a great enemy. On the platform, Mu Shixiong and Hao watched from the sidelines, their expressions blurred but they could see that they were both excited and nervous. "Buying 200 fighters at a time is really a lot of money, so much money for us?" "You have too many questions, the chief of the general staff is the God of Wealth, and everyone knows it. But I don't know why. You and I don't have the right to know about this kind of thing, put away your curiosity. The carriage pulled the fighter plane out of the platform, and the British side handed it over to us, and there must be no mistakes before the departure tomorrow. ”

"Commander, you can rest assured, it's all arranged. I ordered the commander of the 3rd battalion to keep his eyes round, not a single mosquito could not fly in. Mu Shixiong glanced at his watch and said, "At this speed, it is estimated that it can be unloaded in the middle of the night, and you are here staring at me to hand over to the British." After Mu Shixiong left, Hao Yi walked to a carriage and saw that the handlebar type was tying up the fighter plane. Brother, the road is far away, but it is going to be tied firmly. "Sir, we've been on this road for a year, and we've never made a mistake."

Hao Yi stepped forward to try the rope, and then checked the next car. Building the Eighth Route Army Air Corps is the long-cherished wish of all officers and men of the Eighth Route Army. Over the past few years, Japanese fighter planes have been bombing the sky indiscriminately and wantonly in their actions, and for this reason, many comrades-in-arms have been killed by enemy planes. The formation of the Eighth Route Army's air team can finally raise their eyebrows, and those who have not experienced brutal battles and the air ravages of the Japanese army cannot experience this feeling.

It was late at night, and the hustle and bustle of the platform finally stopped. The lights dimmed, returning to their usual silence. At this time, the carriages filled the main street of Lashio, and the handlebars hurried to sleep, and the guards were on high alert. Anyone who comes near the carriage at this time will probably become the target of hunting. The east reveals the white belly of the fish, the heavenly palace is not beautiful, and it rains lightly. The rainy season in Myanmar has entered in May, and rain is commonplace. The horn sounded, the figures were crowded, and the officers and men and the handlebars began to make preparations for the departure.

In front of the convoy, several trucks were headed, loaded with rocks and sand. In order for the convoy to move smoothly, the bad road conditions can be repaired if necessary. At dawn, Mu Shixiong said to Hao: "Has the sniper team set off?" "It's time to go, and as soon as the convoy hits the road, they move in tandem." "You command on the highway, and you have to keep track of the situation on both sides. You don't have to worry about the Burmese army in the mining area, the 2nd Battalion keeps an eye on them and keeps in touch with the radio. Let's go, I wait for your good news! ”

On the eastern side of the Baldwin mine, Burmese soldiers lie dormant in a wood. Two days ago, U Tam Po had just led a regiment of Burmese troops to the mining area to quell the riots. In fact, the riot itself was man-made, and the riot was quelled in less than half a day, after which he stayed for the fame and fortune of maintaining law and order in the mining area. Having received the report, the British command in Mandalay agreed to the military control of his troops in the mining area for a month.

In the morning, as soon as U Tan Po received information from the Japanese, he pulled his troops into the woods. At this time, under a tree, Wu Tanbo had just discussed with his subordinates, and an informant came to him: "Report, the Chinese convoy has set off from Lashio and is estimated to arrive here at noon." ”

"Haha, here's our chance to get rich. Tell everyone, cheer me up, whoever grabs the things belongs to whom. Wu Tanbo just pointed to the map and said, "We set up an ambush here, catch him off guard, and set off immediately!" "When the Burmese officers and men received the order, they rushed to the road with swiftness and vigour. The Burmese officers and soldiers did not know the details of the Chinese army, and the Japanese did not specify it. At present, the Burmese army is supported by Japanese weapons and ammunition, and naturally its morale is high and its courage is inflated.

To the east, about 2 kilometers from this wood, close to the road, the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Special Forces has long been in full position. They secretly deployed on the west side of the highway yesterday evening to closely monitor the movements of the Burmese army. The first special regiment is composed of 3 battalions, the first battalion is a sniper brigade with a strength of 350 people, basically snipers. The 2nd Battalion is an assault brigade with 400 men, mainly armed with light machine guns and submachine guns. The 3rd Battalion is a cover brigade of 500 men, mainly equipped with heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, grenades, mortars and other heavy weapons.

As soon as the Burmese army was dispatched, it was discovered by the 2nd Battalion in ambush, and the commander of the 2nd Battalion ordered the Burmese army to be put in close range to fight, and the blow would be won. A regiment of the Burmese army has about 900 troops, which can be said to be a piece of cake in the eyes of the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion. At this time, the sky was still raining lightly, and the Burmese soldiers were so eager to make a fortune that they did not care about the slippery roads and rushed in a straggler formation. The Burmese army entered a hundred meters, and at the sound of an order, a dense rain of bullets swept towards the unsuspecting Burmese soldiers like gusts of wind. The bullet seemed to have eyes, and the Burmese army in front was knocked down.

The Burmese soldiers panicked for a moment and immediately returned fire under the command of the officer. At this moment, the 2nd Battalion launched an attack, and the ambush rushed quickly and quickly. At this time, Wu Tanbo was just in a daze, and was suddenly attacked, and when he didn't know how to deal with it, the ambush soldiers on the opposite side actually attacked. Before U Tambo could give the order to retreat, the Burmese soldiers were defeated. Wu Danbo had just ridden a horse under the cover of several personal entourage. Soon he distanced himself from his subordinates. The 2nd Battalion pursued 1 km to collect troops, and the Burmese army had been dispersed.

Wu Tanbo had just lost his soul and ran back to the mining area to collect the remnants of the soldiers, and found that most of the soldiers and horses had gone. Wu Danbo had never experienced this kind of formation, and at this moment, his mind was blank and he was in a state of stupidity. One of his subordinates said angrily, "Your Excellency, the Japanese said that there is no problem, how can there be an ambush." The Chinese army is dressed in floral clothes and steel helmets, and its combat power is strong, it must be an elite army, and we have been fooled. "Your Excellency, thanks to our speed, otherwise it would have been all over. It's not a fucking sale, it's a gamble. Fearless, U Tan Po thought he was unlucky and ordered the remnants to retreat to Mandalay.

In Lashio, the Special Forces Headquarters, a staff officer held a telegram in his hand and said happily: "Report, the 2nd Battalion called, and the Burmese army really moved." The battle went well, the Burmese army was vulnerable, and a single charge collapsed. The commander of the 2nd Battalion reported that 116 Burmese soldiers were killed, 185 wounded, and 205 captured. "Order the commander of the 2nd battalion to continue to be on high alert to prevent the Burmese army from coming back to attack." Mu Shixiong did not seem to be happy, and did not take the Burmese army seriously. Now it is certain that the Burmese army is a smoke bomb, an attack by Japanese agents, and the countdown has begun.

At noon, the sparse drizzle stopped. On the mountain ridge on the east side of Denny, two special soldiers are searching along the mountain range. Standing on the ridge, you can see the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the zigzag shape between the valleys, and you can even vaguely see the long convoy crawling on the road. The two are spearheads, keeping a distance of 1 mile from their teammates behind. After about a mile of Denny, a companion said, "Team leader, the team is going to rest and have lunch in Denny, let's rest for a while and have something to eat!" ”

The two men took out field bread from the British army, which was produced in the United States. The outer packaging is a bit the size of a cigarette and is wrapped in blocks. The bread has a milky flavor and is said to be nutritious. As soon as the two of them took a few bites, the team leader said alertly: "Listen! There is a case! "Years of field training have cultivated their extraordinary hearing." Team leader, it seems that there are quite a few people! "At least 20 people," the two quickly went into hiding. Soon a figure appeared about 50 meters to the northeast.

"Team leader, 31 people in total, 20 mortars!" "Damn, the Japanese spies really used artillery shells." "Team leader, do you want to inform the people behind you?" "It's too late, after a while, the gunshots will go off and your teammates will come to your aid, don't worry. Listen to me and shoot! "Understood!" The two separated for some distance and entered a fighting state. The one who came was indeed a commando led by Yokoji Takeda, maybe they were too unlucky. "This is it!" After Yokoji Takeda finished speaking, he picked up his goggles and looked at Denney, the Japanese cover personnel set up a guard, and the gunners began to set up mortars.

Yokoji Takeda put down his binoculars and said, "As expected, the enemy convoy has entered Denney to rest, and the concentration of carriages is a good opportunity for shelling. It has been measured in advance that it is about 5,500 meters from Denny. Each person is required to shoot Zhu Yuan, shoot three shells and then blow up the mortar and immediately retreat, understand? "Understood!" As soon as Yokoji Takeda's words fell, he heard a gunshot, and the bullet accurately hit Yokoji Takeda's temple. I saw Yokoji Takeda suddenly widen his eyes and fall to the ground. Immediately after another gunshot, the Japanese machine gunner was shot in the head.

The Japanese gunners were so frightened that they all lay on the ground, and the Japanese cover group reacted very quickly and began to return fire. However, with the accurate shooting of the other side, two more Japanese soldiers were shot in the brain. When a Japanese leader saw that Takeda and his companions were shot in the head, he immediately shouted in horror: "The enemy has snipers, retreat quickly!" "The Japanese gunners did not bother to blow up the mortars and quickly fled east. In the process of escaping, several more soldiers were shot and knocked to the ground.

The two snipers did not pursue, they came to the mortar position abandoned by the Japanese to check. At this time, two teammates came up from behind, and immediately launched a chase after asking about the situation. About an hour later, Hao Yi's figure appeared on the mountain.
