The fierce battles on the front line of Tengchong, Longling, and Songshan in history were to open up the Yunnan-Burma Highway, so that the U.S. aid materials piled up in India could be transported to China along the Indo-Burma Highway, and the Japanese army gathered more than 100,000 heavy troops in Burma to try to capture Imphal, the distribution center of India's allied materials, and used Imphal as a springboard to occupy India.

Two well-equipped and well-trained Chinese divisions crossed the Indo-Burmese border, first occupied Xinpingyang and other areas east of the Tanai River, established offensive starting positions and logistics supply bases, and then crossed the mountains of cross-country people, broke through the Hukang River Valley and the Menggong River Valley with powerful firepower and outflanking tactics, and seized Myitkyina, a key place in northern Burma, which played a decisive role in the final penetration of the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

And now, Thunder is simply attacking Burma, and does not undertake the task of connecting the material transportation channels between China, Burma, and India. First of all, the mission is single, and there is no situation of dividing troops into two fronts, and secondly, the Japanese army has only entered Burma for more than half a year, and many fortresses and fortress bunkers have not been completed, coupled with the compromise of the British army in Burma, the number of Japanese troops entering Burma is not as large as in history, and the Japanese Fifth Division, which is known as the tiger of the jungle, is still fighting for territory with the US army in the Philippines.

The most important thing is that when Zhao Zhi was stationed in Yangon earlier, he used the chain of interests to tie those Burmese toasts and leaders to his chariot, unless those Burmese people don't want their own money in the investment bank, otherwise they have to make their own contribution to the thunder attack on Burma. Fighting a war is to fight logistics and intelligence, Thunder has fighter planes that can be used for material airdrops, and there are dozens of hidden material hoarding points in Myanmar, plus the Burmese help to inquire about intelligence, Zhao Zhi is full of confidence in taking Myanmar.

Song Yuhang knew that it was impossible to open up the Yunnan-Burma Highway at present, so the Eleventh Group of Song Xilian, which was encircled by the Japanese army on the front line of Longling from the right flank, was very easy to fall into a situation of supply difficulties, and the Eleventh Group Army in history was indeed in a supply dilemma because of the insuccess of Tengchong's long-term attack and the inability of Songshan to break through, so the Battle of Tengchong was related to the battle situation of the entire expeditionary force. Let our army turn from active to passive on all fronts.

The meeting was dismissed, the officers were all gone, and there were only a few people close to Zhao Zhi at the dinner table, Yan Wudao, who succeeded Yu Dazhi in charge of the mercenary troops, and Ye Kong, who commanded the sniper troops, were present, and Xiao Ziyun, who represented the staff force, was also present. Xiao Ziyun swallowed the food in his mouth and turned his gaze to Yan Wudao, "What does Chief Yan think about the next battle of Tengxian?" "Yan Wudao usually doesn't talk much, when Xiao Ziyun was sent to Zhangwu County, Yan Wudao and Eugene had already set off for the Soviet Union, so Xiao Ziyun had already seen Yan Wudao, and this person who suddenly appeared to take over Dazhi's position aroused Xiao Ziyun's great interest.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ziyun asked him a question, Yan Wudao was slightly stunned, then waved his hand, and replied with a gentle smile: "Yan is just a rough person, he only knows how to act according to Mr.'s orders, and he still has some experience in defending Yan, but he doesn't have much experience in field and street warfare, so it's better not to be ugly."

Xiao Ziyun saw Yan Wudao's resignation, and after pondering Yan Wudao's words carefully, he took a big sip of the kettle and said: "Commander Yan, you are commanding the most elite mercenary unit in Thunder, I know that street fighting is a standing training subject for mercenary troops, I Xiao Ziyun's temperament You also know a little bit these days, you are born in the army, and you can't do things around the bends, if you have anything to say, please say it directly."

As soon as Yan Wudao heard the words, he had to stand up with an embarrassed smile, took the baton from the smiling Ye Kong, walked around the sand table next to the dinner table a few times, and after hesitating for a moment, Yan Wudao used the baton to point at Tengchong in the sand table and said: "Staff Officer Xiao, you have already introduced before, the terrain of Tengchong City is surrounded by mountains, I believe that the Japanese army is ready for street fighting, and the Japanese army has turned Tengchong County into a fortress." Although our planes can blow up the city defense of Tengchong, we still can't go deep, and we need infantry to get close to blast and destroy the enemy's fortifications before we can actually occupy it, and if we attack the city in a conventional way, we will inevitably fall into repeated battles with the Japanese army, and Tengchong County is likely to be unable to attack for a long time."

Unconsciously, Ye Kong and the others stood up one after another and gathered in front of the sand table, looking at Yan Wudao who was talking, Zhao Zhi's eyes were full of relief, Yan Wudao really grew up after going out, this reckless man still has the demeanor that a commander should have. The mercenary force is Zhao Zhi's last hole card, and it can only be controlled by the people he can rest assured, and Zhao Zhi has not been expanding the scale of the mercenary force, the fundamental reason is that he lacks a general who can independently lead the troops to sit on one side, and now it seems that Yan Wudao is quite suitable.

Yan Wudao pointed to the outer road of Tengchong City, "Tengchong County belongs to the mountains, the central intersection is the highest in the city, and the surrounding area of the city is a long and narrow basin, and the peaks outside the city are its natural barriers. About two kilometers to the east of the city, Fengshan is bare and treeless, and the peak is about 150 meters higher than the city wall, which is the commanding height of the suburbs of Tengchong City. The company of the cleaning team that came out with the first division has taken Fengshan, and the first division has also transferred a wing to garrison the mountain, so we can use Laifengshan to make a fuss."

"Drop?" Xiao Ziyun looked at the sand table and pondered the meaning of Yan Wudao's words, and then suddenly said, "You mean to transfer artillery up the mountain and use artillery fire to clear the fixed-point fire arranged by the Japanese army outside the city for the infantry?" ”

"No" Yan Wudao and Zhao Zhi looked at each other, smiled and pointed to Laifengshan and said, "Laifengshan is a steep terrain, and the intelligence sent back by the cleaning team shows that there are many Japanese fortifications that have been half-repaired by the Japanese army, and through the field observation of the scout troops, Laifengshan has not found a road for the Japanese army to deliver materials to the mountain, so the scout troops determined that there is a very likely hidden passage on Laifengshan, which leads directly to the bottom of the mountain or Tengchong County."

"Secret Passage?" Xiao Ziyun looked at Yan Wudao with a suspicious face, then looked at Zhao Zhi and Ye Kong and the others with normal faces, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chief Yan, can you really be sure that there is a secret path on Fengshan?" ”

"Staff Officer Xiao, whether there is a secret passage on Fengshan has nothing to do with our siege of Tengchong, even if the cleaning team finds a secret passage on the mountain, it is impossible for our people to break into pieces and drill into Tengchong City from the dark passage, that will only make our soldiers go to death in vain" Yan Wudao smiled very weirdly, and then tapped the edge of the sand table with the baton in his hand, "The dark passage is just a bait, if our troops clear the bunker outside Tengchong City from Fengshan**, and you defend the city instead, what will you do?" ”

"Send troops to recapture Fengshan, if there is a secret passage connecting the city to Fengshan, I will send another force to sneak up the mountain from the dark passage and attack the enemy troops up and down to attack Fengshan" Almost without thinking, Xiao Ziyun replied. His answer was undoubtedly the best answer, but it attracted a smile from Yan Wudao and Zhao Zhi.

"According to intelligence, the Japanese troops stationed on the front line of Tengchong are only an infantry wing, and when we broke through the Zhai Gongfang this morning, we have killed nearly 1,000 Japanese troops, and the sweeping team has killed about 100 Japanese troops on Laifeng Mountain, and there are only more than 2,000 Japanese troops defending Tengchong at present. If they just cowered in the fortress of the county town, we would really be difficult to deal with, but if they dared to go out of the city, what was waiting for them would only be killed by us, and the secret passage on Fengshan Mountain was the bait, and the cleaning team had already spread their nets and waited for the Japanese army to send their heads to the door."

"Wudao is right, coming to Fengshan is a bait, the Japanese army will not watch us use Laifengshan to suppress Tengchong's city defense, they will definitely send troops to counterattack, our purpose is to kill and injure a large number of Japanese troops in Fengshan before the Japanese army exposes its full city defense strength, and lay a good foundation for the main force to take Tengchong"

Zhao Zhi stretched out his hand to prop up on the edge of the sand table and looked around at Yan Wudao, "The new type of incendiary bomb distributed to the fighter unit has been technically improved by our engineers, and the improved incendiary bomb has an extremely strong combustion effect, which can cause a high temperature of several thousand degrees Celsius in the explosion area at the moment of throwing, and burn the local air, causing the enemy in the underground fortifications to suffocate." I planned to use this incendiary bomb for the first attack, and it only took one fighter plane and a few incendiary bombs to flatten the Japanese fortress group outside Tengchong City and render it useless."

Listening to Zhao Zhi's words, Yan Wudao, Ye Kong, and Xiao Ziyun suddenly gasped, the power of the bomb that Zhao Zhi said was simply terrifying, they had never even heard of it before. The incendiary bombs that the fighter unit put into the Yuncheng Airport operation in the early stage only used flames to destroy the facilities of the Japanese army, but I didn't expect that the improved incendiary bombs could also kill and injure the Japanese troops hidden in the bunkers under the ground by burning out oxygen, which was too powerful.

Ye Kong, who likes to be opportunistic the most, looked at Zhao Zhi with some eccentricity, Zhao Zhi immediately understood the meaning in Ye Kong's eyes, and said with a smile, "There are not many incendiary bombs of this improved type, and it is very troublesome to produce, the arsenal in Kunming can only produce two pieces a day, if you want to rely on incendiary bombs to defeat Myanmar, don't even think about it."

"Okay, let's go back and rest early, and if you have enough spirits, you will fight with the Japanese soldiers in Tengchong City tomorrow" Seeing that the time is not early, Zhao Zhi drove Yan Wudao and a few people back to sleep. Zhao Zhi's command was quiet, but Zhao Zhi couldn't sleep for a long time, tomorrow's attack on Tengchong decided that it would be a hard battle, Zhao Zhi was not sure whether his improved incendiary bomb would work, if not, he could only attack Tengchong, and the casualties of the Jewish army would not be small.
