~-~ You can't lose the most elite strength of the special operations detachment because of the battle in Yangon, that is more than 300 carefully selected special combat members, all of whom are veterans above the squad leader, plus a detachment leader Chu Tian, whom Tang Qiuli admires the most, Tang Qiuli can't afford the price of such a loss, and the special operations detachment will also be greatly damaged and collapsed, even if Yangon is defeated?

Tang Qiuli said to Chief of Staff Yang Ketian: "Call the leader of the third Eagle Eye team, a lieutenant colonel named Andrein, to the command headquarters, and I have a few questions to ask him. ”

The plan of the city of Yangon, as well as the distribution map of the Japanese army's firepower points, sent back by the Third Eagle Eye Group, provided the most detailed and reliable basis for Tang Qiuli to formulate the Yangon battle plan.

After a while, a neutral voice sounded at the door, "Report to the division commander, Andrend, the leader of the third detachment of the special operations detachment and the leader of the third eagle eye team, I am ordered to come to report and ask the division commander for instructions!" "A capable young man, who is only twenty years old, with a straight waist and a stern military appearance, stands at the gate of the headquarters.

"Delin, come in, don't be formal" After returning the salute, Tang Qiuli greeted warmly, but Andrelin (the fastest update) followed the rules, saluted again, and greeted the other two bigwigs respectively "Thank you, division commander, deputy division commander Tang, chief of permanent staff" Then, it was another crisp military salute, and in an instant, it won the favor of the two.

Tang Qiuli asked, "Delin." At the time of the evacuation of the Hawkeye group, after providing corrective targets for the artillery. Was there a battle with the Japanese army? Andrelin said affirmatively: "Report to the division commander, no, when we evacuated the observation target, the shelling continued, and the Japanese troops in Yangon City were in a mess, and they didn't take care of us at all. Our group also took advantage of this chaos to find out of Yangon City. ”

Tang Qiuli then asked, "After evacuating, what order did your detachment leader give?" Andlin replied: "Disperse and hide on the spot, do not engage the Japanese army, hide and wait for the order to cooperate with the main force to attack the city." The answer was crisp and clear, without any delay, and in a few words, the situation was explained.

Tang Qiuli glanced appreciatively at Andrein, who was sitting precariously. "Alright. You go to rest! After Andrelin left, Tang Qiuli said to Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng: "The situation is obvious, Ito is in the time when the shelling is not over. We have realized that our people have infiltrated the city of Yangon. This guy is not slow to react. ”

"Chutian, the reason why they had a fierce battle with the Japanese army during the day was because there was no cover of night, and they were captured by the Japanese search troops, it is certain. Tomorrow during the day will be the most dangerous day for Chu Tian and them. Ito had already spread a big net, and Chutian and them were enclosed in the net. ”

Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng did not speak, they looked at him intently, waiting for his solution, Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed, and said: "Order Zheng Yong, extend the time of the shelling to 5:30 in the morning, and order Feng Jiwu's corps and Li Honggang's corps, after the shelling stops, take the tanks as the lead, and carry out an all-out attack on Yangon from all directions, and all the tank units directly under the corps will be assigned to the two corps, and the attack will continue until the evening." ”

Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng were both shocked, such a move was tantamount to launching the Yangon campaign ahead of schedule, but the new battle plan had just been drawn up, and it had not yet been sent to the various corps, and the pre-war combat meeting had not yet been held, and the adjusted attack targets of the various units had not yet been reported, and they were all in such a hurry, and it was too late in time to prepare.

In the case that all aspects are not ready, rashly launch the battle of Yangon, the troops will become more and more chaotic, besides, there is also the uncertain factor of the Japanese army's increase in troops, emotionally speaking, both of them hope that Chutian and their lives are in danger, and this is the only way to relieve Chutian and them, but this involves nearly one million troops on the front line of Yangon of the ** division, if you are not careful, although you can't lead to a complete loss, the casualties of the troops will increase to an unacceptable Cheng dù.

Rangoon is a stalemate in the city, if the reinforcements of the Japanese army arrive, the first division of the troops, it is a situation where the enemy is on the back of the abdomen, Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng glanced at each other, at this time, the most important to speak is Tang Qiusheng, Chang Feng can't do it.

Tang Qiusheng walked in front of Tang Qiuli and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Xiaoqiu, I hope you calm down, if we just formed an encirclement of the Japanese army in Yangon, we would have fought, but more than ten days have passed, the situation in Yangon has changed significantly, the enemy situation is changing, our attacking troops are still holding the original battle plan, and it is only a few hours before dawn, and it is too late to organize the troops to attack according to the new plan." ”

Tang Qiusheng probably felt that he was a little impatient, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "In this case, how can I command the troops?" Isn't it more and more chaotic, not to mention, there is also the factor of increasing the number of Japanese troops, so I am not in favor of launching a full-scale general attack on Rangoon immediately, you have to think about it carefully! Listen to my advice. ”

Tang Qiuli looked at his cousin with an anxious look at him strangely, and said, "Brother Qiusheng, when did I say that the Battle of Yangon should be launched immediately?" Tang Qiusheng was angry and asked rhetorically: "Then what was your order just now?" Only then did Tang Qiuli understand that it turned out that Brother Qiusheng had misunderstood.

He pressed Tang Qiusheng to sit on the chair and said with a smile: "Brother Qiusheng, that's the case, my purpose is to attract Ito's attention, divert his gaze from Chu Tian, search for Chu Tian who sneaked in, and face a large-scale attack, in Ito's heart, which is important?" I just need to give Chutian them, buy a day, with Chutian's adaptability, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get out of the current dangerous situation? ”

Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but Tang Qiusheng still asked: "It's another tentative attack, and there will be casualties among the troops, is it worth it?" ”

Tang Qiuli's face turned pale, and he replied: "Brother Qiusheng, it's worth it, just with the two pictures sent by Chutian, it's worth it, besides, the outer trenches of the Japanese army can't play much role anymore, besides, what threat will the Japanese army pose to us without artillery?" This hand, custody made Ito break out in a cold sweat! I call it a feint! Isn't there a saying in our hometown of the Northeast, catching a toad in your trouser pocket, that's what it means. ”

After saying the last sentence, Tang Qiuli smiled, and the slightly tense air in the command headquarters suddenly loosened, Tang Qiusheng shook his head helplessly, and said to Chang Feng: "Give an order to the two attack corps, emphasize one point, avoid heavy casualties, and if you occupy the attack point, you must also give up, in order to attract the attention of the Japanese army." ”

Chang Feng turned around and went out to give an order, Liu Xinlan's eyes flashed wide, where did she wonder what Tang Qiuli's saying "catch a toad in your trouser pocket" meant? If you have the opportunity, you must ask him, since he established a relationship with Tang Qiuli, the northeast with white mountains and black waters, vast forests and seas, the hometown of the man he loves, has a great attraction to Liu Xinlan, who was born in Lingnan.

Tense and unpredictable night, the artillery of the ** division of the artillery on the outer trench of Yangon, also carried out the whole night, I don't know how many shells, poured on both sides of the outer trench that has been repeatedly repaired, a few days of hard work, and then came to naught, the continuous sound of artillery, disturbed Ito, he is sure, Tang Qiuli has gone crazy, what is the external trench to do? There are so many shells that there is nowhere to put them?

Ito forced his heart to calm down, so that he could devote himself to the operation of closing the net after dawn, but it was useless, today, the shelling time of the artillery of the ** division was unexpectedly long, Ito felt uneasy, and always felt that something big was going to happen!

Chu Tian listened to the sound of artillery that almost resounded all night, the corners of his eyes moistened, although there was no telegram contact, but he read out the intention of the division commander, this was to support the Eagle Eye group, to create an opportunity for himself to get out of the predicament, overnight, Chu Tian gathered sixteen groups, only three groups, not yet contacted, and the same group as the previous group, each group had different casualties.

The east was white, at about 5:30 a.m., the non-stop cannon fire all night long, abruptly stopped, the unbearable silence, the morning breeze blew, and the choking smell of gunpowder smoke permeated all corners of Yangon, covering this deformed city with a black veil, and in a moment, fierce gunfire suddenly erupted in all directions around Yangon.

"Could it be that the main forces launched a general assault on Yangon? However, he didn't receive an order from the division commander" Chu Tian secretly thought to himself that this was the only opportunity, taking advantage of the panic of the Japanese army, to hide the troops, he waved his hand, "Go!" "The troops of more than three hundred people, under the leadership of Murong Xue, braved the dawn of Bo Xi and drove towards the entrance of the secret passage.

As Tang Qiuli expected, the troops on the front line of the Japanese outer trench have become accustomed to the artillery bombardment of the ** division, and the Japanese soldiers hid behind the fortifications, looking at the clusters of fire that exploded, the dust stirred up, and their faces were blank, anyway, as long as they don't take the initiative to find death, play with the spirit of bushido, stay away from the outer trench, and the shells of the ** division will not hit their heads.

However, the artillery bombardment was long enough to distance the shelling site, but the Japanese soldiers who were only a few hundred meters away were subjected to the deafening explosion and the vibration of the shock wave, which made the Japanese soldiers dark and distraught.

Finally, the shelling stopped, and the Japanese soldiers and officers breathed a long sigh of relief. The torture of the people of China has finally passed, looking at the outer trenches where the smoke and dust have not yet dispersed and the face is unrecognizable, I am depressed for a while, and today, I have to deal with Burmese coolies again.

In another hour, it was time for breakfast, and suddenly, in the light of dawn, there was the roar of a motor, and then the earth began to tremble, which was different from the tremor of the explosion of the cannonball. The binoculars of all the Japanese commanders looked in the direction from which the sound came.
