"Stop?" Yan Wudao, who had already obtained the purpose of the operation, was a little puzzled by Zhao Zhi's new order, "The Japanese wing from Myitkyina has been surrounded by us in this Amo Pass, and the Japanese prisoners we captured confessed that there is only one brigade of Japanese troops left in Myitkyina, as long as we march, Myitkyina will be ours, why should we stop at the Amo Pass and stand by?" ”

Equally puzzled by Yan Wudao was Haig, who commanded the Jewish Airborne Battalion, a Jewish officer from Germany who was no less fierce and belligerent than Yan Wudao, and the continuous battle of the Amor Pass to block the Yamashita Wing allowed him to regain his former self-confidence. After completing the encirclement of the Yamashita Wing, Haig and Yan Wudao carefully studied the map on the prisoners' confessions, and the airborne battalion only needed to leave a small number of troops to maintain the encirclement of the Yamashita Wing, and the other troops could take advantage of the situation to march and take Myitkyina, and the entire plan of action to take Myitkyina for a thunderous attack on Burma was only good and not bad, why did Zhao Zhi, who was stranded in Tengchong, order the troops to stand by?

Not to mention that Yan Wudao and Haige didn't understand Zhao Zhi's intentions, even Xiao Ziyun, who had been following Zhao Zhi, was also confused, "Sir, since the airborne battalion has completed the encirclement of the Japanese army, why don't you let them continue to march while Myitkyina's forces are empty?" Taking Myitkyina is very important for us to control northern Burma, and if we wait for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive, our chances will be gone? ”

Placing the command in his hand at the location of Gaoligong Mountain, Zhao Zhi chuckled, "This is Gaoligong Mountain, according to the information we have so far, the Amo Pass is not the only place that connects Myitkyina and Tengchong, but it is the only place that can be overloaded. What did the Japanese base camp do to send troops from the Philippine battlefield into Burma this time? The 160,000 Japanese troops are more than three times our size, and although we have already taken back the territory on the west bank of the Nu River, once the Japanese army enters a state of imminent war, our Jewish army is not necessarily their opponent, first of all, we do not have an advantage in numbers."

"The construction of our airport in Tengchong is slow, and at the current rate, it will take at least half a month for the airport to be put into use, and without the support of fighter planes, our troops entering Burma can only rely on themselves to engage the Japanese army. Do you think that when the number of people is not superior, how long can Yan Wudao and them hold out on to Myitkyina? The airborne battalion of the Amo Pass plus the mercenary troops under Yan Wudao have a total of about 1,200 people, and the Japanese wing surrounded by them in the Amo Pass has not been annihilated, if Yan Wudao wants to attack Myitkyina, they must leave their troops to watch the Japanese troops who are surrounded, after the division of troops, even if the airborne battalion takes Myitkyina, can they hold it? ”

"The second is the firepower allocation, our intelligence officers planted in Yangon Harbor have sent back the news that the Japanese army has transferred more than 32 guns of more than 105 caliber in the troops drawn back from the Philippines, not counting the tanks of the armored mixed brigade that have come ashore. The bridge we built over the Nu River will only be overloaded until the day after tomorrow, and the road in the Amo Pass is too simple for heavy stalkers to pass through, and if we let stalkers take a detour to Myitkyina, I'm afraid that Yan Wudao and they would have been eaten by the Japanese army long ago."

"The Amo Pass is steep, it is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is more suitable for our mountain tactics and rush warfare, what can we do if there are more Japanese troops in Mizhi, their heavy equipment can't enter the Amo Pass at all, so they can only keep filling it in and playing tactical confrontation with Yan Wudao. As long as there is a sufficient supply of weapons and ammunition, Yan Wudao and their 1,200 men will be able to control the Amo Pass in our hands, and the Japanese army's willingness to garrison Myitkyina will be beneficial for us to attack along the Yunnan-Burma road, just using their division of troops to break them down."

"In case the Japanese army sees through our real strength in the Amo Pass, and uses the tactics of a sea of people to break through the Amo Pass, Yan Wudao's 1,200 people may not be able to hold it" agreed with Zhao Zhi's plan to wait for the rabbit, but Xiao Ziyun was still very worried about Yan Wudao and them, after all, Yan Wudao and they were only 1,200 people, once the Japanese army at the division and regimental level broke through the Amo Pass, even if Yan Wudao could fight the elite of the airborne battalion, it would not work.

"I'm afraid they won't dare to continue attacking the Amo Pass?" Zhao Zhi smiled and threw the baton in his hand on the sand table, "After the 1st Infantry Division completes the task of encircling and suppressing Songshan, it will draw out an infantry battalion to support the airborne battalion in the Amo Pass, so that their strength will reach 2,000 people. The Kunming Arsenal is already working at full capacity to produce heavy machine gun ammunition, explosives, mines and other materials with great lethality, and I want to turn the Amo Pass into a meat grinder, so that the Japanese army will continue to increase its troops there, and then we will continue to kill and defeat them."

If it had been placed a year ago, maybe Xiao Ziyun and his young staff officers would never agree with Zhao Zhi's words, and they would even coldly ridicule Zhao Zhi for having rhapsoia, but after they had experienced many battles with Zhao Zhi's side, they knew a lot about the actual combat power of Thunder. In particular, Xiao Ziyun has experienced the scene of more than 100 Browning heavy machine guns firing in the ambush battle of Xiangtangpu, if Zhao Zhi also arranges hundreds of Browning heavy machine guns in Amo Mountain, Amo Pass will definitely become a meat grinder as Zhao Zhi said, a place that constantly consumes Japanese troops.

What's more, Thunder now has a sharp weapon such as the steel fortress to defend the city, once the armor of the steel fortress arranged in the Amo Pass is thickened to 10 layers, it is simply an invincible existence, and the Japanese army does not transfer artillery above 120 calibers, the steel fortress will be firmly fixed in the Amo Pass, and I am afraid that the defense of the tank is not as good as it. After connecting these things together and thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ziyun's face couldn't help but show a hint of understanding, Zhao Zhi was simply playing fishing tactics.

The Yamashita United and Tengchong City, which were besieged by Yan Wudao and them in the Amo Pass, were the bait, and the main force of the Thunder was about to enter the territory of Burma, and if the Japanese army wanted to cut off the back road of the Thunder and regain the territory on the west bank of the Nu River, the Amo Pass was their only choice. As long as the Japanese army continues to send troops to the Amo Pass, they can only be defeated and besieged by Yan Wudao in the Amo Pass like the Yamashita United. In the current situation where the number of troops on both sides is not equal, the elimination of one more Japanese army will help the Thunder Attack on Burma.

"I knew that Mr. wouldn't leave us here for nothing" After receiving Zhao Zhi's secret order, Yan Wudao, who had been suffering from a bitter face, finally had a smile on his face, and Haige, who had been harassed by him all day, couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, and secretly sighed that this big head was really not worrying. "Sir said that the battle between Longling and Songshan is coming to an end, and the 1st Infantry Division will then open the passage for Tengchong to come here, and the infantry battalion with supplies and supplies will come to us soon, and our task is to use those guys who are besieged by us as bait to attract more Japanese troops into the Amo Pass, and then continue to crush and besiege them."

After reading the secret order sent by Zhao Zhi, Haig went to arrange for his soldiers to cooperate with the sappers to defend the terrain of the Amo Pass. Zhao Zhi did not say how long Yan Wudao and the airborne battalion would be stationed in the Amo Pass in the secret order, but Haig had already guessed Zhao Zhi's true intentions, he had to prepare first, and once the follow-up supplies and personnel arrived, Haig was ready to build the Amo Pass into a super war fortress.

"Inform the troops, you can close the net against the Japanese troops we are besieging, don't kill them all, just control their number within 1,000 people, and the radio station should also be left for them, and give them a chance to ask for help" Haig is not a good bird, and after seeing Zhao Zhi's calculations, he immediately ordered the soldiers of the besieging Yamashita Wing to start shrinking the encirclement. How could he let go of such a good opportunity to practice marksmanship, holding down the position with heavy machine guns and mortars, and the soldiers of the airborne battalion were transferred to the front line in turn, playing Garand ping pong.

It was already the second day that the Yamashita Wing was besieged by the airborne battalion, there were thunderous people on all sides, and there were mines everywhere, and after losing the mountain artillery brigade in the retreat, the firepower of the Yamashita Wing was much worse than before. Losing their logistical baggage, they were desperately short of ammunition, food, and medicine, and the remaining 1,700 people of the entire wing were suppressed by the airborne battalion in a narrow strip of 1 mile long and 500 meters wide.

The purpose of practicing marksmanship was determined, and the soldiers of the airborne battalion shot very slowly, but with every shot, there were always casualties among the Yamashita Wing, and once they returned fire with machine guns and mortars, they would immediately attract fire several times stronger than them in retaliation. One hour later, a quarter of the area under the control of the Yamashita Wing had been lost, and if it weren't for the cover of rocks and trees, I'm afraid the casualties of the Yamashita Wing would have doubled.

"Send a report to the front army and ask for tactical guidance" Yamashita with a disgraced face saw that he had lost his former arrogance and domineering, and his once straight waist also collapsed, and the whole person looked as if he had suddenly aged by more than ten years. If it weren't for the fact that this guy was wearing the rank of a senior Japanese officer on his collar, no one would have thought that this decadent-looking guy would be a wing commander, and if he took off this military uniform and threw it in the soldiers' pile, he might not be as good as those military officers and captains who looked like Japanese soldiers.

"The front army wants us to hold on, and reinforcements will soon come to rescue us, and we need to wait for help first and not lose confidence" If it is placed in peacetime, this can be regarded as good news, but now the mountain is not happy to see it. Their ammunition was on the verge of running out, many soldiers had only two or three bullets left in their chambers, and the mortars were running out, and if the machine gun bullets were also bottoming out, Yamashita didn't know what else he could do to stop the enemy's attack.
