He walked over to the group lined up in front of the chariot and shook hands with the squad leader.

"Second Lieutenant, remember that the enemy artillery is our enemy, so once it is fired, you must drive straight in and destroy those cannons."

"Yes!"

"Singapore's victory is a distant thing in the past, and from today onwards, we will fight all the way across the Nu River, go all the way to Kunming, no, hit Chongqing, and capture Chiang Kai-shek alive."

Mutaguchi had reason to feel relieved, not only by the invincible army, but also by accurate information, he knew the specific deployment area of each battalion of the enemy, and the opponent did not even know that one of his brigades had come ashore, so basically he could not see the possibility of defeat. Of course, the only advantage of the Chinese army was that it was backed by a railway, and they easily brought in 12 122mm guns and 30 76mm guns, which gave them about some advantage in firepower, and according to reliable information, Du Yuming had agreed to pull up some 150 heavy guns as compensation for his inability to go to the front in person. During the Battle of Songhu, the 18th Division had learned 32 times the power of the 150 howitzers, and if it were not for the Chinese army being dizzy and deploying these guns within the reach of the guns of the Third Fleet on the Huangpu River, the army would not have the firepower that could match them. It is said that there are still 8 to 10 such cannons left in the 5th Army, which are already in Lashio. But the most paradoxical aspect of the base camp plan was that it was reluctant to use planes to blow up some important points on the railway, such as the railway bridge, which made the troops in front inevitably suffer some additional casualties.

"Listen, the British plane is here again."

Mutaguchi raised his head, followed the direction of the roar of the engine from far and near, and sure enough, he saw a strange-shaped plane flying through the gap above the forest in a flash, no one recognized it, this was actually a cutting-edge P38F4 reconnaissance aircraft belonging to the Royal Australian Air Force, but whoever came was the same, and it was impossible for observers to see the well-camouflaged personnel and equipment below, which had been repeatedly proven in Malaya and the Philippines, where the jungles of the tropics covered the sky, This is completely different from China's northern temperate forests, where in most parts of the country the trees are bare in early spring, and aerial reconnaissance during the day, as long as you fly low, you can easily see the troops below, and even the traces left by the vehicles passing by.

"Once the enemy starts shelling, it means attacking, so 15 minutes after they start shelling, the tank unit starts the engine and waits for orders." Mu Taguchi is familiar with the 200 Division's playing style in the past few days, and he will close the net today and give the opponent a little color.

In the headquarters of the 200th Division, most of the senior officers have left, only Chu Aiyun and Jiang Weiguo are still working with Division Commander Dai to negotiate the final details, and they demand that the heavy artillery be transferred to the forward position as far as possible, and the range of the heavy artillery is about 10 kilometers this year, and the farther forward can hit a deeper target. In addition, he also asked for some walkie-talkies of the US military to be used to form a communication network composed of several nodes, and his request beyond the times made Dai Anlan secretly surprised, and Division Commander Dai found that this person's attention to communications was almost intuitive, and he had not heard that he had learned artillery in the officer training class.

took advantage of Dai Anlan's departure to call the artillery battalion. Jiang Weiguo dragged Chu Aiyun to his eyes.

"Pavilion Chief, you are really a little reckless to come out today, this time is different from the last time, it is not a flank guerrilla, you can advance or retreat, but enter from the front of the enemy, why do you want to do this?"

"Sir, I'm also anxious to open up a situation, we have so many cannons in the air these days but can't exert firepower."

"The situation of the enemy behind enemy lines is unknown, and there is no popular base, so it goes so far. Do you know how dangerous this is? ”

"If our reconnaissance company doesn't go, who else will? What's more, having said that, there is no reason to take it back. ”

Chu Aiyun said fiercely, Jiang Weiguo was also speechless for a while, he paused, and felt that he still had to remind a few words.

"Remember, vehicle reconnaissance is not a surprise attack, and you are most afraid of falling into crossfire, so you must not rush at full speed, and you must move slowly and slowly."

"Don't worry, I understand."

"Also, don't bring your rotten box cannon made by Jin, it's too picky of bullets, and the rifling is gone, bring the one I gave you."

"Yes."

Jiang Weiguo saw that Dai Anlan came in again, so he didn't have any more instructions.

"I'll tell you good news, Chief Du's military artillery regiment has arrived partially, and 4 150 guns are being unloaded, and they can be deployed tomorrow morning." He walked over and pressed a hand on Chu Aiyun's shoulder, "As long as you can go over with the grid map, see the enemy's location, and tell me, we can smash the devil's pieces to pieces." ”

"Don't worry, division commander, I will definitely complete the task." Chu Aiyun replied lightly, and he noticed that Jiang Weiguo sighed slightly on the side. In fact, the deputy captain didn't really care about how much enemy equipment he could guide the artillery to smash, but just wanted to go around behind the enemy as soon as possible, so that he could logically bring back the enemy's conspiracy.

He returned to the company headquarters, and the reconnaissance platoon was already on standby. Everyone was eating dinner dullly, waiting for the mission time to arrive, the more veterans who had fought a few battles, the more afraid they were of the moment of departure, the reconnaissance company was a unit that hit bullets with its head, and every time it came back alive, it was actually a fluke, and the more times there were, the soldiers inevitably recalled, maybe it would be the next time.

Chu Aiyun didn't pay attention to them, he hid in the house alone and didn't know what to do, the most severe order he issued in the company was not what would happen if he was lazy, but that anyone who had something to do with him had to shout at the door to report, and then knock on the door, it was strictly forbidden to break in directly, and the Japanese had to knock on the door when they arrived.

Now is the time for him to use the advantages of the 419 UAV to find a breakthrough, of course, thanks to the communication system completed under Lin Xiuxuan's planning, the special team has completed the network coverage in this land of more than 600,000 square kilometers.

The large unmanned aerial vehicle on the 419 went straight 200 kilometers inland from the sea and carried out rigorous reconnaissance of the enemy situation in this area, and southern Myanmar was still within her reconnaissance range.

Optical reconnaissance showed that the Japanese army had dug anti-tank trenches and improvised roads for artillery maneuvers in the rear, and buried key areas*, but more than half of Burma was in a state of wilderness, with a high forest coverage, and there were still many routes that could be traversed from a condescending glance.

He studied the route and got into the car to enter the forward position. He didn't report the route of the mission to anyone, under the pretext that there was too much work nearby, which left him a lot of flexibility. Now he can use Motorola's handheld steps to directly contact Lin Xiuxuan, as long as he is a little careful, Zhou Youfu should not be able to see any fame.

6 p.m. The 76.2 artillery group in the rear began to feint, hitting half of the base as planned, about 15 minutes. The trucks of the squadron of Japanese tanks and automatic vehicles hidden in the jungle began to start, which allowed the drones to clearly see their position and the attack formation that had been launched, and it was obvious that the enemy had steadily retreated for three days, and their planned counteroffensive should be today. The way is to encircle the two wings, and there is an additional assault force to lead directly to the rear.

"Brothers, follow me and enter through passage 1."

Chu Aiyun gave an order on the radio, and then started the vehicle to move forward. There are stars and moonlight today, so the vehicles behind can still keep up. They chose to take the route from east to west, so that the enemies they encountered would appear on the still glowing western skyline, while they hid themselves in darker places. Of course, in fact, these small names are not important, the important thing is that Chu Aiyun knows where the enemy's biggest gap is. He could drill around in those openings hundreds of meters wide. It is not excluded that some sounds will be heard by the enemy at the junction, but since they are preparing to lure the enemy deeper, it is impossible to fire flares.

He estimated that the three commanders behind him were all chanting Amitabha Buddha at this time, praying that he could lead them out of a way to live. People in the army are inevitably superstitious, and he knows that there are some legends in the company about his life being extremely high and forever saving danger, which is an important reason why the soldiers like him, and he hopes that these psychological hints will help his soldiers to get rid of tension.

The shelling exploded at the enemy's front line, and for a moment when the artillery fire was suspended, the T26 of the armored battalion drove to the front line, creating engine noise, the sound of which was heard by the Japanese a few hundred meters away, and reported the ascent to the top.

Chu Aiyun hid in the machine gun tower, watching the text messages sent by Lin Xiuxuan, there was one every few minutes, reminding him to slow down or stop. Lin Xiuxuan drove a jeep a few kilometers ahead, of course they had all kinds of night vision equipment, he didn't.

After the shelling stopped, 4 221 reconnaissance vehicles had already managed to penetrate deep behind the enemy front. The enemy did not have many troops on the front line, and it did leave a large gap.

Mutaguchi waited left and right, and the enemy did not rush to attack after the artillery fire was prepared. He guessed that the Chinese army knew that the infantry and artillery coordination was poor, and did not dare to chase the artillery fire at night, and that they might attack at dawn tomorrow. But it doesn't matter, he can play the advantage of the plane during the day, and he doesn't feel at a loss.

A group of four tanks quietly reached behind enemy lines, where they stopped in the jungle 3 kilometers behind the enemy's line and quickly hid the tanks. Then Chu Aiyun ordered the reconnaissance personnel to bring walkie-talkies and conduct reconnaissance on foot, trying to find a commanding height and squatting, so that they could see far away and communicate farther. As soon as the enemy situation is discovered, it is reported to the correspondent of the vehicle left behind, and then he reports to the rear with a high-power radio on board.

Even these people here have a lot of practical combat experience, and they all feel very new to the new company commander's whim to come up with this multi-node, distributed information distribution model, of course, the Chinese army also lacked Motorola's communication equipment to support such an idea.

Chu Aiyun took Zhou Youfu and went straight to the southeast. He knew that a heavy enemy headquarters was there, and there would definitely be signs exposed.

They scarcely spared no road, and soon found the sound of horses' hooves in the woods, and followed the sound for some distance, and all kinds of movement came, and then the sound of cars transporting troops, and then the whistling of motorcycles. Even if he couldn't see anything, Zhou Youfu also felt that he had probably hit an important target, and from the battle of Lanfeng to the present, he knew that all the signs he heard indicated that he had hit the Japanese command, and it was by no means a brigade-level headquarters, it might be a wing. In fact, the Japanese army wing and below the communications team may not have such high-end goods as motorcycles, usually on horseback.

"Listen, someone is tugging at a branch. Is it the wiring communications corps, company commander, we probably ran into the enemy's headquarters? ”

Zhou Youfu whispered.

"Don't worry, hide first, and confirm it when it's dawn."

Zhou Youfu secretly claimed to be surprised, he thought, how can the company commander hit a key place every time, this time it is even more absolute, he doesn't take a detour, could it be that he was sent by the Jade Emperor to rectify Little Japan?

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the first rays of morning light shot into the woods, through the morning fog in the forest, the two could see the trucks in front of them coming and going, the Japanese had opened a two-lane road in the dense forest, but the hateful aerial reconnaissance had not been discovered. The report sent to the command said that there were only 20 trucks at most in the entire front line of the Japanese army, and now Zhou Youfu saw more than that.
