The perilous situation of the 328 200 division
"What are you going to do?"
"Find the deputy captain first, let him play a good show, and lead Chen Zhiping over, so that you can not only get rid of suspicion, but also let Chen Zhiping destroy a Japanese military code."
"But if the Japanese find out, they quickly stop using passwords."
"Aren't there still us when they stop?"
"Lin Division, this is okay?"
"Why not?"
They quickly drove towards the location of the radiation source, and compared to the contour map, the radio was on the commanding heights, possibly a building on a hill. Next, we have to find a way to pass the news to Chu Aiyun.
Within two days, a series of military meetings surrounded Chu Aiyun, he now has a specific position, no longer an ordinary staff officer or translator, so he will be present every time there is a military meeting, although the position is still the lowest, but the reconnaissance company is different from ordinary infantry, shouldering an important tactical mission, need to know the battle intention in advance, and will often be named by senior generals to ask about military information, so even the most senior military meeting, there is a corner of him.
Because the railway was not safe, Du Yuming did not go south, but stayed in Mandalay to command. Stilwell was overjoyed by this incident, and he probably felt that scaring Du Yuming was the only thing the Japanese had done in recent times that would be beneficial to the Allies. Because now he can plan the operation with Dai Anlan, the Chinese general he admires the most, but he will soon find that Dai Anlan is actually more difficult to deal with.
Every time Chu Aiyun stood on the edge of the map table, he could feel the special spirit of two people, one was Stilwell, and the second was Stilwell. However, Dai Anlan was more calm, he said that the Japanese army could fight if it was not firmly established, but he was very dissatisfied with the intelligence department, and always got some contradictory or worthless information, and the fog spread by the Japanese was what he was most worried about. The Japanese and British launched an attack on Rangoon for two consecutive days, regardless of the flank movements, which seemed to be very strange and seemed to be sure to cope with the southward advance of the Chinese and British troops. Maybe there's a surprise army? Maybe it's just an empty city? Chen Zhiping attended meetings every day as usual, but he was no longer able to provide information that could stand up to verification.
Chu Aiyun is also in a hurry, because the latest enemy situation released by the special team every day has completely deviated from the enemy situation marked on the map table of the headquarters, and the killing moves behind the suspected Japanese soldiers are already very obvious, and they will definitely fight quickly, otherwise they will starve to death.
"The 599th Regiment advanced another 2 kilometers, and a battalion of the 598th Regiment also participated in the battle, and the enemy in front of it was still the Kawashima Cavalry Wing, and our troops destroyed two enemy cars and captured 16 horses, but the Japanese moved the mountain artillery to the reserve position in advance and continued to resist."
Chu Aiyun read the latest report, of course he knew that this was a trick by the Japanese army to lure the enemy into the depths, but he couldn't help but tell what he knew.
"We suspect that Japanese artillery fire relied on observation posts on nearby heights, after our company captured the two heights...... That is, after 14 o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy artillery fire began to weaken. It is now predicted that the enemy will have an understaffed artillery squadron armed with 75-mm field or mountain artillery in a zone 7 to 9 kilometers deep behind the line of depth...... That's all the way it has been up to now. ”
"Progress is still too slow, General Dai, tomorrow you should try to launch a roundabout attack from the flank. And those tanks of the armored regiment, which should not continue to remain in the rear, we must have an assault force capable of quickly breaking through and outflanking, otherwise every time we break through the enemy's line of defense for a kilometer or two, those damned artillery, will have a chance to retreat. After Stilwell finished speaking, he waited for the person next to him to translate, he obviously believed that the main force of the Japanese army, Ohara Ze Wing, was not in person. Perhaps the Japanese already had the problem of poor supply, otherwise it would be difficult to explain that there would be so few large-caliber shells falling on the heads of the 200 divisions these days.
"I suspect that the enemy is behind the broken line, organizing a counterattack, and their retreat is very orderly and completely chaotic." Dai Anlan obviously disagreed with Stilwell's opinion, his steel helmet was full of dirt, because he had just returned from the front, "These days, our army's attack with the support of 122mm cannons, the original firepower was completely suppressed, but the casualties are still very high, and the preliminary estimate is that the exchange ratio is 2 to 1, so it can't go on like this." Master Dai said, throwing the pencil onto the map.
"That's why I propose to throw in armored forces. We didn't observe any defensive artillery in front of this cavalry wing. ”
"I can send 1 company of tanks and vehicle-mounted infantry to attack along the railway, but it must be covered by the air force." Jiang Weiguo said that he was now the commander of the main battalion, and although Du Yuming clearly denied his plan to cross the Xitang River and launch an attack, he was still eager to make immediate contributions. Chu Aiyun thought to himself, don't be stupid, the enemy's main force is behind.
"I propose to stop the offensive for the first time, and wait for the report of the British aerial reconnaissance tomorrow morning, and then decide." Dai Anlan said, and the others had nothing to say, so they acquiesced.
The new offensive plan was not in place, and the field hospital of the British army was already crowded with soldiers of the expeditionary force. The battle of the 599th Regiment has gained momentum and is a bit of a scumbag. Commander Dai didn't want to attack from the front, but the lack of intelligence made Stilwell's flank attack very risky, because you didn't really know where the enemy's weak position was. The Japanese eyeliner and radio stations all over the village made their artillery fire fall as if they had eyes, and the expeditionary force would be shelled and begin to suffer casualties before it had not yet launched an attack, but was only organizing in the starting area. It also means that the enemy knows where you are at any given moment, so where to start with the assault.
After the meeting ended, Chu Aiyun returned to the barracks, and the company was lamenting the loss of the original company commander.
The good news, of course, was that some of the discarded Cardenloyd tank parts were found from the British's warehouse, because the British had long since lost this kind of thing, and the mechanic company found that with a few modifications it could be used with the CV33 of the reconnaissance company.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was tackling technical problems, the company commander sneakily ran back to his room, closed the door, and began to check the communication records. Five minutes later, he left alone, borrowed the horse of the company's correspondent, and said that he wanted to go out for a walk.
He ran 5 kilometers on his horse, confirmed that no one was following, and turned to the place agreed with Lin Xiuxuan. Soon a lone jeep was seen in the jungle. He knew he should have been under the watchful eye of the task force, so he stopped. With a whoosh, Ma Qiang slipped down the tree. At a glance, he was seen with a 1911 pistol stuck in his waist.
"What, did the Kuomintang change your gun?"
"Hey, Xiao Jiang's gift, I said no, I have to beg for nothing, I don't want favors." Chu Aiyun didn't care.
"You don't want to give it to me, I'll change it with you, it's much easier than this."
"Don't make a fuss." Lin Xiuxuan came out from the side and stopped Ma Qiang. Then he shook hands with Chu Aiyun.
"Long story short, is Chen Zhiping still keeping up?"
"Tight, he didn't dare to go to Yangon now, so he stayed in the 200th Division, and also transferred military police and cavalry to form a special force to deal with enemy agents, but so far he has not caught a few Japanese, but he has killed a lot of local civilians who he feels suspicious."
"That's good, tomorrow I will play a play, and I will arrange for the Japanese army password to appear in front of him."
Lin explained to the deputy captain like this, and then Chu Aiyun rode back, now Chu Aiyun has the bottom of his heart, he knows that the special team is by his side, but he is worried that it is useless to know some of the Japanese deployments now.
Chu Aiyun rode away. The special team immediately began to act, they had already grasped that there was a nest of Japanese spies in the nearby mountains, there were about a dozen people, half Japanese and half Burmese, they scattered around in the early morning to find out the news, and came back in the evening to summarize and send a report, this team was led by a lieutenant of the southern organ, this is a breakthrough that Lin Xiuxuan can think of.
The enemy was entrenched in a high-walled house abandoned by the British in the mountains, with a secret post on the outside, until about 2 o'clock in the morning. Spies, dressed in local costumes and Chinese and British military uniforms, walked out of the house one after another. The task force followed one of the duos. Their goal must also be the 200th Division.
After Chu Aiyun returned to the camp, he immediately decided to increase his post, and specially transferred Zhou Youfu, who had just been promoted to shoot Zhang, to be on duty at night, and everyone complained, but he didn't care. A person goes back to the room and sits on the bed to wipe the gun, and does not take off his clothes.
A moment after 5 o'clock, he went out to check the post with a flashlight on his own hand, and found the sentry near the parking lot in the northwest corner dozing off on the armored car, and he went over and kicked the sentry in the ass.
"Oh, who, who'......," exclaimed the sentry.
"it, stand guard and sleep, if it's Japanese, your kid will die."
"Company commander?"
Chu Aiyun walked to the edge of the station by himself.
"What's going on?"
The sentry ran over in panic, only to see a hole in the barbed wire being opened.
"You did a good job, and you didn't know if someone came in. Go to the * sentry, call the people on the post, and gather here. ”
The sentry did what he was ordered to do, ran to the middle of the playground and began to whistle. Zhou Youfu, who was on duty at the door, hurried over with *, and heard the gunshots in front of him. The night searchlights of the nearby 200 Division units were turned on and pointed here. After a while, the air raid sirens also sounded.
Zhou Youfu led a few people to the gunshot, and saw the company commander squatting in front of a civilian-like corpse shot in the back, the muzzle of the gun was smoking, he untied the clothes of the dead man, and saw the hidden binoculars and maps.
"Just in time, I ran away, you guys follow me." He said as he stopped the last soldier, "You don't have to go, the gendarmes will come later, just take them to catch up with us, and I will leave a mark on the tree at the junction." "It's really thoughtful.
Zhou Youfu followed the company commander closely, he didn't know why the company commander suddenly became like a god of marksmanship, and he could not miss a shot in the hazy morning. At this moment, Company Commander Chu was running wild like a wolf dog, tracking the blood stains and footprints left by the enemy when he could barely see the road.
The guy was shot but still very good at running, and the group was never able to catch up, and there was no sign of blood, and he could always find some when he was almost gone, and he thought he was a very solid guy.
They chased them all the way down a dirt road down the mountain, and from a pool of footprints, people have been going up and down lately, and when they looked up, they could see smoke rising from the top of the mountain. It seemed that they couldn't wait longer, they hurriedly ran upward, chasing all the way to the gate, the company commander took the lead, kicked open the gate, and rushed straight into the yard alone. Zhou Youfu Zulan was too late, his heart was in his throat, but no gunshots came out, and he hurriedly followed in with *te. It was found that something was being burned in the yard, and it seems that a Japanese spy found out that the matter was revealed and was burning documents.
