Chapter 1053 The British protested

September 29 was a rare good weather, there was no tight and annoying shower, let alone the terrible sun, thin light clouds, obscuring the sky, and a rare cool mountain breeze, which blew slowly among the mountains of western Yunnan, was undoubtedly a gift from God to the troops of the infantry army. ＊

Although the Japanese soldiers were exhausted and their legs weighed a thousand pounds, they were also in good spirits in such weather, and the speed of the march immediately accelerated a lot, and in the sky, there was a faint dull roar, and many Japanese soldiers looked up, afraid that the downpour would come unexpectedly.

The faint thin clouds, the lover's veil is elegant, no matter how you look at it, it will not rain, and the Japanese soldiers who are about to be tortured by the mountains and climate of Yunnan and go crazy, laughed at themselves, worried that they were a little redundant, so they delayed for a while, provoking the officers to curse viciously, and their buttocks were kissed heavily by heavy, mud-stained military boots.

Le Yiqin led the Southern Flight Group of the Air Force, more than 700 fighters and bombers, divided into five batches, to take off from Wuhan Airport, this morning, for Le Yiqin, it was also the beginning of a good day, after receiving the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli, he has been worried about the weather in western Yunnan.

When Wuhan took off, the sky was still thick cumulus clouds, after Guiyang and Kunming, cumulus clouds turned into thin clouds, looking down from the cockpit, the verdant forests of western Yunnan, the continuous mountains, unobstructed, entering the airspace of Baoshan and Tengchong, Le Yiqin gave an order to the formation.

"According to the original plan, the fighter formation will be centered on Baoshan and Tengchong, search for the Japanese at a low altitude, and the bomber formation will climb high, enter the predetermined bombing area, wait for the attack order, and act!" After speaking, as soon as the nose of the plane was pressed, the Soviet-style fighter deftly drilled out of the thin clouds and swooped down towards the mountains of western Yunnan.

Skimming a canyon between the two mountains at a low altitude, the eyes suddenly opened up, a crooked mountain road, a crowd like yellow ants, slowly squirming between the green, Le Yiqin wanted to laugh loudly, lucky, no one could stop him, just flew out for more than twenty minutes, and found the little devil.

I'm afraid that among all the pilots, I am the first, otherwise, those guys who are going crazy would have shouted on the radio a long time ago, "Attention of all reconnaissance formations, in the direction of Yongping north of Baoshan, the Japanese army marching column was found, did the others find anything?" ”

"Commander, you're so lucky, aren't you? Why did the little devil hit the muzzle of your gun? God also prefers to be an official! In the headset, there was a noisy exclamation, and the other pilots, unconvinced, shouted nonsense, "Pay attention to the search, fly along the road, take my position as the center, spread on both sides, increase the search width, listen well, the altitude of each plane is not allowed to be too low, don't be bitten by the little devil's machine gun, if the plane scratches a little skin, go back and lock up your confinement." ”

"Commander, the direction of the old camp, the Japanese army was discovered, the Lushui direction, the Japanese army was discovered, the Jiuzhou direction, the Japanese army on the defensive line," ten minutes later, the fighter formation that was on the task of search and reconnaissance all found traces of the Japanese army, and the sound of reports one after another made Le Yiqin's heart bloom.

Le Yiqin hurriedly reported to Tang Qiuli, "Report to the division commander, the Southern Flight Group, west of Baoshan and Tengchong, found the Japanese army, divided into five routes, and is heading in the direction of Baoshan and Tengchong, please instruct, my air formation, do you want to attack immediately?" ”

Tang Qiuli had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as expected, Terauchi Shouyi chose to go to Myitkyina in northern Myanmar, the nearest route to Baoshan and Tengchong, "Le Yiqin, ten minutes later, start the attack, it doesn't matter how you hit me, the ground troops, the fastest will be at five o'clock this afternoon, to reach the above position, it is now five fifty-four in the morning, you have to delay the Japanese army for more than five hours, otherwise, you think about the consequences yourself." ”

Tang Qiuli's tone was very strict and cold, Le Yiqin shrank his neck, my obedient, the division commander's anger is not small, this battle is not easy to fight, using planes to block more than 200,000 little devils for more than five hours, the difficulty is not small, the whole group of aircraft launched an attack, let go of the hands and feet to fight a quick plan, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.

According to the current marching speed of the little devil, in about six hours, you will be able to reach Tengchong and Baoshan, Le Yiqin racked his brains, and hurriedly considered one plan after another, "Each aircraft group pays attention, and the targets found will be attacked in batches, and the attack interval will be thirty minutes, and the aircraft groups that have completed the bombing will be diverted at Kunming Airport and Nanning Airport, refueling and bombing, and taking off for the second time, all understand?" ”

"The 3rd Bomber Formation, on the road leading to Baoshan and Tengchong, searched for bridges, and I was blown up," Le Yiqin adjusted the battle plan to ensure that the air raids were uninterrupted, and then he contacted the Kunming and Nanning airports to prepare in advance, and ordered the transport aircraft regiment in Wuhan to immediately airlift a large number of "Foguang" napalm to Nanning and Kunming.

Seven or eight Chinese planes appeared in the sky above the Japanese troops, causing only a brief panic among the Japanese troops, but ten minutes later, disaster befell the Japanese troops, and swarms of bombs roared down from the sky, and on the width of several tens of kilometers from Yongping to Lushui in western Yunnan, flames flew and flames flared everywhere, and huge columns of smoke splashed by bombs everywhere.

Terauchi Shouichi's heart was tense for a while, from the beginning of the large-scale air attack of the independent division, he realized that Tang Qiuli's troops had not yet blocked in front of him, and the planes were dispatched just to delay his marching speed, and he didn't know how many independent division troops were rushing in this direction.

He called the chief of staff and ordered, "Order, after the air raid, the troops must not stay, continue to advance in the direction of Tengchong and Baoshan, and leave the wounded to the containment team behind," Terauchi Shouichi's idea is good, the planes of the independent division will toss for two or three hours at most.

But what happened next made him realize that he was wrong, very wrong, the planes of the independent division, just like a flock of eagles staring at the target, at most 30 minutes apart, the bombs fell on the bodies of his own soldiers again, watching the planes fly away, the Japanese had just sorted out the formation, and before they could take a few steps, another wave came.

From about 6 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers hid when they were bombed, and after every air raid, a number of soldiers' corpses were left on the mountain roads in western Yunnan, as well as wounded soldiers who were missing arms and legs, and were wailing in pain.

The sweat on the head of the temple Shouyi came down, the plane of the Chinese army, such a way of fighting, the purpose is obvious, to make his soldiers, difficult to move an inch, for Tang Qiuli's ground troops, rushed to his front to intercept the creation of the time, if he ignored the air raid, forced marching, such a stupid thing, he would not do it, I am afraid that when he arrives at the Yunnan-Burma border, there are not a few soldiers left who can be brought to Burma.

Shouichi Terauchi lay down in the woods, looking at the Chinese planes in the sky, constantly dropping bombshells one after another, gritting his teeth with hatred, the air force of the Great Japanese Empire was so weakened that it was so bad that in the sky of western Yunnan, there was not a single plane painted with the sun symbol, and the brave imperial soldiers, right in front of his eyes, were blown apart.

He secretly swore that when he arrived in Myitkyina, he would strictly rectify the military aviation units dispatched from the south, and send all these wastes to the military court.

This has to be thanks to him, without Terauchi Shouichi's strict order, the dispatch of military aviation troops will not be poured out to attack Nanning, thus, to Le Yiqin's southern flight group, create a zào opportunity to break the wings of the Japanese air force, and the Japanese air force will collapse, Terauchi Shouichi will not think so.

He only thought that he had ordered the dispatch of military aviation units and planes to cover the retreat of the troops along the Yunnan-Burma border, but the reply of the commander of the air force was, "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, after the air battle in Nanning, there are no more than 10 planes that can fly into the sky on Hainan Island and the Taiwan Air Force Base. ”

Six hours later, in the sky, those Chinese planes that cost the lives of thousands of imperial soldiers finally stopped appearing, and several Japanese troops were bombed to pieces, killed and wounded everywhere, and morale was extremely low.

When Shouichi Terauchi, who was full of hope, finally saw the ancient city of Tengchong, he had not yet taken a clear breath, and the cannonballs that split his head and covered his head came over, and the troops directly under the corps had already arrived for two hours, and established an insurmountable blocking line in Yingjiang, Tengchong, Baoshan, Changning, Nanzhao and other places, and sealed all the passages leading to Myitkyina in northern Burma.

The overwhelming artillery fire alone made the Japanese soldiers tremble, and after two tentative attacks, in addition to leaving thousands of soldiers' corpses, Terauchi Shouichi did not catch anything, and hit his head on the iron plate, he finally had no way out and returned the same way.

After a night of worrying overnight in the old camp and Yongping, he finally turned to Savage Mountain, which was a road of death and a road of no return for Terauchi Shouichi and more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers.

Tang Qiuli's wish was finally achieved, forcing Shouichi Terauchi to enter the Savage Mountain, Tang Qiuli, who received the report, smiled heartily and said to Chang Feng: "Order the troops of Tengchong, Baoshan, and Yingjiang to attack the Japanese army, behind their buttocks, burn a fire again, and hurry up when you enter the Savage Mountain!" ”

That night, Tang Qiuli was in the ancient city of Tengchong, one of the most authentic restaurants, and invited the local gentry.

When he opened it, he couldn't help laughing, full of arrogance, arrogance and rudeness, and the Englishman protested to him, and claimed that he wanted to speak by force, as if he had seen the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Speaking of which, the British protested strictly, and the cause of the incident was still in the body of Colonel Chutian, the head of the special operations detachment.
