"Are you trying to say ......?"

"Well, you have to use your Lan Xiang Hongxiang to solve it." Xu Chong said.

"With paratroopers, I also thought that as long as I occupied the top of the mountain, I could destroy the enemy's artillery hidden in the fortifications, but the wind speed on the mountain was very strong, and it was difficult to drop it to the top at a fixed point. I can't fight like that. ”

"There is no need to parachute, just a couple of gliders, take a platoon or two and * to the top of the hill and destroy their fortifications."

"Is it possible?"

"Look at the terrain here," Xu Chong guided Chu Tingchang to the side of the sand table, "the mountains here are low and continuous, the top is relatively flat, if the load is small, the glider can theoretically fall, if it is not successful, it can rush out from the top of the mountain, try again with the help of the air current, or land behind our defensive line." ”

Chu Tingchang stared at the sand table and thought for a while, feeling that this plan was feasible, the enemy's defense seemed to be like an iron bucket, but on the commanding heights, it was out of their reach.

"Well, how is the offensive of the ground forces carried out?"

"At the same time, use obstacle-breaking vehicles to clear the way and clear the enemy's minefield. As long as there is a breakthrough, mechanized troops, they can enter the core positions, and the rest of the enemy's defenses will be self-defeating. Of course, I had to go there myself and do a close reconnaissance. ”

"Okay, that's it."

Chief Chu made a decision and began to draw up a telegram. This method of fighting was not the first of his or Xu Chong's creation, but usually such a battle requires a long time of preparation, not only the reconnaissance of the enemy's fortress and troops, but also the collection of meteorological information, which is not in a hurry, but he does not have time now. Without Myitkyina's recovery, it cannot be said that the entire war in northern Burma is over, and he must use the fastest speed to deal with these enemies. He knew that Stilwell seemed old-fashioned, but he never rejected new tactics, especially now that he was under political pressure, so he would definitely do his best to help him.

Stilwell's command was in a state of flux, as the enemy in Myitkyina was too big to solve.

After the 56th Division withdrew and fled south, the isolated 55th Division was surrounded in northern Burma, and the original plan was to intercept and annihilate the enemy halfway when he retreated, and the electronic reconnaissance unit also intercepted Kimura's order to Takeuchi Kuan to retreat to Mandalay, but Takeuchi Kuan saw that the situation was wrong and decided not to leave. Obviously, this was a wise decision he made after appreciating Tao Mingzhang's firepower and Zhou Youfu's mobility ability.

The Japanese said that they would defend for half a year, and the city had already begun to loot Chinese food, and reduced the supply of rations, and conservatively estimated that the hoarded grain could last for two months, and even this was enough. Two months, enough time for the whole situation of the war to change in favor of the Japanese, their fleet may again cross Malacca to sweep the Bay of Bengal, and bring another seven or eight Japanese divisions, and then the situation will take a sharp turn for the worse as soon as the Japanese army in northern Burma echoes in the north and south.

When it was critical, Stilwell always habitually waited for news from Chu Tingchang's side, or Chu would have some ghost ideas to help him get through the difficulties, but there was no news from the 5th Army for several days, which really made Stilwell secretly complain, he sent hundreds of sorties every day to reconnoiter this place, and came to the conclusion that it was not impossible to attack, the key was how much the Chinese were willing to pay? But storming has never been the style of Chu Tingchang's 5th Army. They confronted the Japanese, but they did not attack.

was in a hurry, and finally waited for Pavilion Chief Chu's plan, and when Stilwell read the telegram for the second time, he roughly understood Pavilion Chief Chu's thoughts. Obviously, this tactic is more ingenious, but it is feasible. Thanks to the U.S. military's photographic reconnaissance without leaving any dead ends, his staff officers felt that the action was feasible after several exercises based on the sand table, and Stilwell immediately approved the plan, and at the same time began aerial reconnaissance and troop formation.

The airborne troops are ready-made here, and among the top men of the 502nd Regiment and Hongxiang, they can choose to have explosives expertise, form a team, and then attack by glider. According to the details of Chu Tingchang's plan, the glider load must be reduced, increased * and reduced personnel, and this kind of special operation does not rely on a large number of people.

What surprised Stilwell the most was that Chu Tingchang, a guy from the Nongya country, could repeatedly come up with such advanced and fashionable plans. China has neither glider sport, nor a tradition of excellent engineering troops, but only braggart and corrupt bureaucrats. However, Chu Tingchang was able to make an appropriate combination of various technical arms, and then designed a very ingenious plan. It's a ridiculous and deranged experience, like seeing an African chief in animal skin, with a robot that can walk and talk, go to a world exposition.

In the evening, Xu Chong had already arrived at the periphery of Myitkyina by a liaison plane, he had to conduct a reconnaissance here, the sand table is a sand table after all, the aerial photography of the Americans can indeed quickly form a map, but the photography is not topographic mapping, there will still be errors, if the terrain fluctuations on the preset landing site are not fully grasped, then the glider may hit the rock and roll, and the soldiers will be lost in vain.

Near Myitkyina, there was no exchange of fire between the two sides, and Tao Mingzhang's troops were still waiting for artillery supplies, while the Japanese rushed to build fortifications. Tao Mingzhang had been worried about the lack of reconnaissance means, unable to clearly see the situation on the opposite mountain from the hill occupied by Tao Mingzhang, and he did not carry night vision equipment, and it was difficult for him to sneak into the enemy's battle line at night to conduct reconnaissance, but when he arrived above the battle line, he suddenly felt that his worries were purely unnecessary. The grassy ridge was right in front of his eyes.

He asked the pilots, flying directly over the head of the enemy, to observe the ground at the lowest altitude.

To do this, he had to show some English skills to communicate with American pilots, which was somewhat contrary to the background of the character he had been disguised, but recently he added a hidden background to his identity as an Orion who had participated in border smuggling, so it is not surprising that he has been traveling to and from British-controlled northern Burma.

The pilot did not reject Xu Chong's excessive ideas, and before enlisting in the army, the pilot worked in California for pesticide spraying, which was not only adventurous but also highly skilled. He followed Xu Chong's instructions, flew to the landing site he expected, and flew at an ultra-low altitude close to the top of the mountain 20 meters, and also passed some fuselage sideways, so that Xu Chong could clearly see the ground. If the enemy ambushes a machine gun nearby, you can always give the plane a few holes.

Xu Chong quickly photographed the terrain with his camera, and on the ridge was a long patch of artemisia grass, which would not have grown so densely if the rocks were overgrown. Therefore, the ground must be soft and suitable for glider landing, and he led Chu Ting's troops across the entire northern Burma, knowing that many of the small hills in the Gaoligong Mountains are in this form, and the soil is very thick and the rocks are buried deeply. The Japanese cut down the trees nearby and built the fortifications, which was equivalent to doing themselves a great favor. According to his observations, this flat ridge is 300 meters long.

He asked the pilot: can he land on the ridge.

The pilot thought for a while and gave a positive answer, of course, the landing gear is not strong enough for the aircraft, I'm afraid it can't work.

The Japanese, who were working on the mountainside, watched the plane fly over their heads for an hour before leaving. No artillery was fired from beginning to end, Takeuchi had already suffered several rounds of bombardment, and his anti-aircraft artillery positions were either destroyed or his acquaintances were not revealed, which gave Xu Chong a great advantage. This operation is not a parachute landing, and he can also participate in it. He was sure that he could lead a small force and open the way for a large force to attack.

The private residence of Nobusuke Kishi, Tokyo, Japan.

Shadow Satsuaki is planning the whole plan alone. He didn't trust the wall grass very much, so he didn't want to reveal the whole plan to Ito of the Intelligence Bureau until the last minute. He knows the stakes of this matter very well, once it is exposed, Konoe Fumima will definitely be able to pick himself up, but it is difficult for Nobusuke Kishi to say, as for himself, he will definitely die, and he may not wait for Tojo to make a move, and he may be wiped out. The poor prisoners released from Duck's Nest Prison didn't know the purpose of letting them out, just so that they could play the role of a dead corpse when the time came, but Kagesa knew that his situation was not much better.

Tojo was anxious to convene his Greater East Asia Conference, which had already been set for New Year's Day 1943 in the Diet Hall. Present at this meeting were also a large number of puppet heads of state, and there would be a lot of reception staff and interpreters in various languages, and the scene would be chaotic, and it was an opportunity to assassinate Tojo.

Although Kagesa Zhenzhao felt that a big occasion might not be suitable for assassination, if you look at it from the perspective of a diehard Japanese Communist Party member who has been in prison for ten years and is bent on sabotaging the cause of the empire, such an occasion has a strong political oath significance. Moreover, according to Konoe's idea, taking out Tojo on such an occasion would provoke domestic anger, which would be advantageous for him to implement a tougher overall war plan immediately after he took over, but of course the disadvantage would be that the wavering puppet regime would see the instability within Japan. Of course, the lesser of two evils, getting rid of Tojo is the top priority.

Zolge confessed his intelligence network, but unbeknownst to the Japanese Communists, who had been imprisoned for several years, one of them was the liaison on this line, and Kagesa had used the traitor to connect with him, suggesting that a major task had been entrusted to him.

At that time, they will disguise themselves as Burmese interpreters and enter the venue to place one*. The coin* will be placed under the seat of Myanmar's puppet Prime Minister Bamo. The reason why it is placed here is because his seat is closest to Tojo. Of course, this is also due to Tojo's proximity to the prime minister in order to show his concern about the war situation in Burma. In order to hide * in the briefcase, the weight of the * is only 1.5 kilograms, including a 400-gram alarm clock timer, which means that it is not powerful enough to kill Tojo a few meters away (enough to kill Bamo, of course).

Of course, this was still part of the plan, and after the explosion caused chaos, the soldiers of the Guards Division from outside would quickly enter the council hall, and if Tojo was not dead, a soldier would be given a refill shot. When a soldier kills Tojo, he will kill himself by drinking bullets, but if he is slow, he will be quickly killed by the guards. Although the soldier's background is a member of the die-hard Imperial Sect, during the investigation stage, he will be tampered with as a member of the anti-war alliance who participated in the Sino-Japanese War and accepted the ideas of the CCP. And the rest of the members involved, whether they were lured into participating, or traitors from the Zorge group, were killed by the ambushed gendarmes at the end of the reserved retreat route. In other words, all the pieces will be eliminated in the end.
