It was only after dark that the Japanese navy's shelling of Rangoon stopped. The shelling of this day caused a lot of damage to the city, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers and nearly 100 civilians were killed in the shelling.

The Yangon airport was badly damaged, and a squadron of the Chinese and American air forces originally stationed there had to be transferred back to Tonggu ahead of schedule, and other planes had to be put into hangars.

Under such circumstances, even if the air force expelled the Japanese navy tomorrow, it would be difficult to hold out for seven days, and only by giving full play to the maneuverability advantage of the helicopters of the special attack regiment could it be possible to win back another game.

After dinner, the troops were deployed in the city, and Zhu Jingxing took a company to the station of the special attack regiment to assemble.

There were 100 men in this company, and the officers and men were uniformly dressed in khaki uniforms, *, * hung on their chests, with black turbans and light green jungle hats on their heads, and they did not carry anything else except guns and ammunition.

Huang, who had changed into a flight jacket, was walking towards them, and U Teng Win of the Burmese Army followed him with a few people. The scouts sent by the Burmese army have just returned, and now the main forces of the Japanese army are in the two northeast directions of Yangon, and the headquarters is in Warai, thirty kilometers outside the city of Yangon.

Wolai is not a big place, it is a market town with a population of only tens of thousands, but it is an important throat between Yangon and Tonggu, and it is natural that the headquarters of the three commanders by the river is located here.

"Have you decided on the location?" Huang Zheng asked Wu Dengwen beside him as he walked.

After translating, Wu Dengwen thought for a moment and said: "Although I can't be completely sure, judging from a variety of circumstances, it is an important command organ of the Japanese army. This can also be seen from the intercepted position of the Japanese army's power generation. ”

"Okay, Master Wu Dengwen, then I have you to lose. I please, the defense here, we do not rule out the possibility that the Japanese army will infiltrate with small forces, and we must take strict precautions. After Huang Zheng finished speaking, his steps were faster.

He walked to Zhu Jingxing's side, Zhu Jingxing leaned on his heels, and when he was about to stand upright, Huang Zheng asked him, "Are they all together?" ”

"It's all right." Zhu Jingxing replied, he saw Wu Tengwen following behind, so he casually asked, "Is the Burmese army also involved in this operation?" ”

"There are a few guides, and they're a little more familiar with the situation over there." After speaking, he said to Zhu Jingxing: "I will take the armed squadron in the air to knock out the Japanese army's firepower points, and when the time comes, I will put you down and go directly to search for the Japanese army's headquarters. After saying that, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, the hour hand pointed to nine o'clock, and then said, "I'll go over there and have a look, you can get ready to board the plane." ”

"Yes!" As soon as Zhu Jingxing waved his hand, company commander Hu Liqun began to give orders, and the officers and men lined up began to rush out and run towards the place where the helicopter was transported.

Huang Zheng was walking towards the transport brigade, but at this time Wu Dengwen also followed, Huang Zheng saw that he hadn't left yet, so he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Wu Dengwen hesitated for a moment and said that he also wanted to go with the expeditionary force to have a look.

Huang Zheng stopped, and looked at Wu Dengwen with some puzzlement in his two eyes, there was no malice in this look, but it was definitely not an expression of kindness.

Wu Dengwen was not afraid at all, and he repeated what he had just said to Huang Zheng, "Mr. Colonel, I want to join you in the battle as well. ”

Huang Zheng was sure that he had heard correctly, he held the military hat on his head, and said with some joy: "General Wu Dengwen, I admire your courage. However, we can't get on the plane. Besides, this trip is already dangerous......"

"Don't worry, I won't trouble you. I'm even ready, and besides, Wolai is not far from my hometown, which I have been there many times and is more familiar with, and can be your guide. Wu Dengwen looked like he was not dead in the heart of the Yellow River, and Huang Zheng thought that there was some truth, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you sit on my plane." ”

Wu Dengwen handed the military hat on his head to his orderly, then took the Baishi* and helmet on his chest, and after he was fully dressed, he followed Huang Zheng like a guard.

……

Mr. Woo did not do this on a whim. It was an idea he had come up with more than an hour earlier during a conversation with Aung San.

Aung San was a far-sighted statesman, and he clearly understood that Nanjing's promise of independence and statehood was not achieved overnight, and of course, after driving out the Japanese, they would not tear their faces with the British for the establishment of Burma. Now, this can only be achieved by raising a significant army.

Aung San told him: "It is undeniable that China's national defense forces, with the assistance of the United States and their own industrial base, have become an army that should not be underestimated, they have absolute strength, and our army needs not only their advanced equipment, but also their advanced operational concepts." ”

Uden Win immediately nodded, and he understood what Aung San meant.

"This time, they're going to have a surprise attack, and if you can follow along, we'll have a lot of experience."

Aung San continued: "Even if not, it's good to see how people fight." ”

Wu Dengwen actually had this idea in his heart for a long time. He studied in the Japanese Army, but his vision was not limited to the Japanese Army. He even felt that the scale of the Japanese Army's operations was a bit petty, and that it was not as realistic and enjoyable as the armies of the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union.

Before this, Wu Teng-win did not pay attention to the Chinese army, but because this large country to the north of him had been poor and weak for too long, and the army was divided into many factions and independent policies, and their combat level Wu Teng-win did not look down on.

However, in recent years, he was surprised to find that the Japanese army, which is known as the first in Asia, has repeatedly lost in the hands of the Chinese army, although the Chinese army often has an advantage in the comparison of forces, but these have been able to prove that this army has undergone many earth-shaking changes in terms of weapons and equipment and tactical thinking.

Especially after personally fighting with the expeditionary force a few times, he found that this originally neglected army had slowly risen, and the mechanization of their army, the coordination of infantry and tanks during the attack, and the coordination of air force firepower and ground forces were obviously a grade higher than that of the Japanese army.

These were enough to change some of his previous perceptions. And in this battle, he was deeply impressed by the helicopter fire and mobility of the expeditionary force.

A few dozen helicopters, plus more than 500 soldiers, completed the occupation of Rangoon at an eye-popping speed in one day.

Wu Teng Wen said to Aung San: "General Aung San, please rest assured, I will take the initiative to follow the expeditionary force and participate in their battles during this time." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Dengwen continued: "The expeditionary force and the Japanese army have one thing that is very admirable, their officers are often able to take the lead, and many senior officers still insist on physical training, while in our army, many officers above the regimental commander rarely go to the front line, let alone shoot. In my opinion, after the other units are rebuilt, we still have to pay close attention to reform. ”

Aung San smiled, "Well, that's right, but not all of the Chinese army is like that, I've been to Shanghai, and some of the senior officers have a big belly and a fat face. Presumably, the expeditionary force is their elite, and this is also an excellent learning opportunity for us. ”

Wu Dengwen thought so.

……

At ten o'clock, Huang Zheng personally took off in a helicopter. Twelve helicopter gunships and dozens of transport helicopters rose from the ground, their propellers churning the air and making an earth-shattering roar, flying under the dark night sky in the direction of Volaly.

Flying at night is not easy for them, so the distance between the formations is very large, and this is done to prevent any accidents.

This is the first time that Wu Dengwen has taken this kind of plane, and he can hardly imagine that such a big guy can take off and land vertically without any gliding, and he keenly realizes that this kind of guy will change the form of combat on the battlefield in the future in the future.

"Group A is in place!"

"Group B is in place!"

……

Huang Zheng's intercom kept coming with various passwords, and although Wu Dengwen couldn't understand Chinese, he could roughly understand what they were supposed to be reporting.

The speed of the plane flying in the night sky was not very fast, but in the face of the dense jungle mountains and rivers, it passed without any effort, which surprised Wu Dengwen.

Huang Zheng was wearing a headset and an intercom, staring down very leisurely, while the pilot next to him reported some data and other things to him.

Sitting behind Wu Teng Wen was a tall and thin junior officer, who patted Wu Teng Wen on the shoulder, pointed at the Gatling machine gun next to him, and said, "I'll use this later!" ”

Wu Dengwen didn't hear what he was saying clearly, and even if he did, he didn't understand Chinese, but he could understand with his gestures.

What made Wu Dengwen even more surprised was that Zhu Fucai actually lit a cigarette and smoked slowly, he didn't take two puffs, Huang Zheng, who was sitting in the front driver's seat, not only did not stop it, but also reached out to him to ask for a cigarette, which had to make Wu Dengwen look at the relationship between them differently.

After flying for less than an hour, according to the instructions from the ground, he has arrived in the area of Volai, it seems that the light control has been implemented on the ground, and it is a lot more difficult to find the target, Huang Zheng knows that this must be the air defense artillery fire is intensive, at this time, he can only reduce the altitude of some aircraft to attract firepower.
