"Division Commander Liu, this is Colonel Captain Ellef of the U.S. Army Task Force!" After Sun Liren finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Ellerf, "This is our Senior Commander Liu!" "I've heard my colleagues talk about you, the artillery god of the Chinese army!" Ellerf's Chinese words are not very sharp! "Colonel Ellef has won the award, I heard that more than 1,000 of you dare to attack a wing of devils, which shows that the combat power is extraordinary!" Bangs said politely. "No, no, No, Division Commander Liu, the combat strength of our unit is very average, but it is very powerful in the mountains and jungles, and it is specially formed for jungle warfare in Burma!" Elef did not understand what politeness was, and specifically explained the merits of his troops. "Hehe, Senior Commander Liu, Colonel Elef is going to cooperate with us this time!" Sun Liren said, "The natural danger in front of us is insurmountable for us, but it is not for his troops, so Colonel Elef wants to help us break through the natural danger of the Japanese!" "Really?" Bangs are unimaginable. "That's right, Master Liu, this is our specialty!" Ellerf said.
The American contingent is a special unit specially customized by Stilwell for the Burma war, the main members are composed of Kachins, and there are also some British and Indians, all of whom are masters of jungle warfare, and the weapons are not standard, but varied, including bows and arrows, shuttles, and some messy things, but the Kachin people in this army are the kings of jungle warfare, with this not advanced weapon, in the jungle like a stealthy wolf, hidden in the jungle, combat and survival have unique conditions, Such a force was given the task of not fighting head-on, but raiding behind enemy lines, and Stilwell gave Colonel Ellerf the task of creating a steady stream of explosions in the enemy army! This time against the assault of the Japanese wing, Elef meant to see the real combat strength of this unit, and the result made him very satisfied!
"Then how are you going to break through the current natural danger?" Liu Hai and Sun Liren accompanied Ellerf to the front line. "This is our mission, our Kachin warriors can use the trees and weeds on the dangerous cliffs to climb the opponent's position, use sneak attacks to break or disrupt the deployment of devils, and cover the large army for a surprise attack!" Ellerf said. "Can you be specific?" Bangs asked. "After our warriors climb up, they will lower the soft ladder, and your soldiers can attack from the soft ladder and occupy the danger in front of them! Once we break through, we'll raid the only mountain road we can go up to, and as long as we can get through it, then the attack won't be a problem! "Elef has introduced his own special tactics!" If your people really want to climb up, I'm afraid it's not that simple, the Japanese army's fortifications are very strong, and there are many hidden fire points, if you climb up directly, it will be very difficult! Bangs said. It's up to you, Liu Shencang! Sun Liren said. I? "The bangs didn't understand too much." That's right, no matter how strong the Japanese fortifications are, they can't withstand the direct fire of the 155 guns, as long as you can suppress or destroy the enemy's fire points at the forefront and cover the attack of these Kachin people with firepower! Sun Liren said.
"But how can it be so simple, our 155* cannon must advance to at least less than 500 meters away from the enemy to shoot accurately, but it has entered the range of the devil's artillery fire again!" Bangs said. "I have a way to send you to a position of five hundred meters, in fact, it is very simple, as long as we launch in large numbers*, so that the devils on the danger cannot observe and aim, Colonel Eleph's men can attack!" Sun Liren said. "This is a good way, Senior Commander Sun is really a top student of the California Military Academy!" Bangs said. "Yes, dear Sun, you are really capable!" Ellerf said. "No, no, no, just now Senior Commander Liu killed more than a thousand devils with *, where did I come up with such a solution!" Sun Liren said. "No matter what, we must play this time, because this is our first time working together!" Ellerf said. "I need to get close and observe the distribution of the opponent's firepower to arrange the distribution of artillery power!" Bangs said.
The attack plan was determined, Liu Hai and Sun Liren personally ran to the front line, and had a vague idea of the distribution of Japanese firepower, but the two of them relied on their own experience to mark as many other party's firepower points as possible on the map, and after coming back, Liu Hai also judged the location of other Japanese firepower points from the existing Japanese firepower distribution based on his own combat experience with Sun Liren, and the location of possible hidden firepower points! After doing enough homework, Liu Hai began to arrange his own artillery power, the artillery power should not be too much, otherwise it is easy to be found and counterattacked, after all, it is too close, the range advantage of the 155 * cannon can not be brought into play, too little is not good, can not eliminate a large number of opponent's firepower points within the specified time, according to the number of opponent's firepower points, Liu Hai arranged twelve 155 cannons, scattered among the trees on the opposite side of the aisle. In addition to these 12 guns, other artillery pieces will bombard the Japanese positions in a timely manner. As for the specific tactical arrangement, the three of them agreed together: the attack started in the middle of the night, because the task force was in the nature of a sneak attack, and the night was the best cover! Liu's cannon will be the first to attack with the help of flares, and Eleph's task force will build a makeshift bridge over the blown aisle two hours in advance, and when the task force has passed, Liu Hai will immediately launch an artillery bombardment to cover the task force's attack! After the task force launched an attack, Sun Liren's troops passed on a makeshift bridge to attack the Japanese army. The most critical part of this plan is whether the U.S. contingent can break through and hold the first line of defense of the Japanese army within an hour, and cover Sun Liren's troops to occupy the danger!
Just when Liu Hai and Sun Liren were actively planning, Tanaka Shinichi was not idle, he found from the implementation of his plan that the commander of the opposite branch army was by no means a good type, and he could make a mess of his offensive plan, which was in response to the Chinese's words, stealing chickens does not make rice, so Tanaka Shinichi believed that it would not take long for the other party to call, but how to fight, Tanaka Shinichi was very troubled! In order to make full use of the advantages of natural danger to block the Chinese army, Tanaka Shin ordered to use all kinds of trees and grass piles on the cliffs of the first line to hang * and *, and as for the main road that was the only one to go to the natural danger, send sappers to bury * and detonate at any time. In addition, Shinichi Tanaka also asked the air force to bomb the enemy in front of him and disrupt the opponent's possible offensive actions! This whole set has undoubtedly caused a lot of trouble for the attacking contingent!
Just when Liu Hai and others were actively preparing to attack, Liu Xiaoshan was in trouble. In order to save physical strength and hurry, Liu Xiaoshan carefully arranged the airdrop weapons of the US military aircraft, but the accuracy of the US plane's airdrop was not very satisfied, and many weapons fell within the visible range of the Japanese army, so the Japanese army sent troops to check, and the Japanese army and Liu Xiaoshan met unexpectedly! Liu Xiaoshan had just arrived at the airdrop site, and before he could distribute the weapons, the Japanese army arrived, and an encounter began! Liu Xiaoshan took the lead, rushed up with * to fight the Japanese devils, and at the same time arranged for his subordinates to quickly pack up their weapons. Liu Xiaoshan's soldiers were all veterans, and they did not panic, and carried out the operation of blocking and snatching supplies in an orderly manner, successfully eliminated the Japanese reconnaissance team, and obtained the weapons and ammunition airdropped by the US army! But in this way, Liu Xiaoshan's roundabout intentions were also exposed, and a large number of Japanese troops began to surround Liu Xiaoshan. At the beginning, Liu Xiaoshan thought that the Japanese army would not have a lot of troops at the natural danger, and only two or three wings would survive, but what he didn't expect was that the Japanese army arranged more than 10,000 people and five wings at the natural danger, and the reason why there were so many troops was because Tanaka Shinichi planned to use the natural danger to eliminate the two divisions of the Indian army, so he didn't plan to deploy more troops in the natural danger, and arranged so many troops! So Liu Xiaoshan was surrounded by the Japanese army behind the natural danger!
"Captain! What to do? There are at least two wings that surround us, almost three thousand people! A staff officer said. Don't talk nonsense, the enemy has changed, since they are here, then we can't go any further, fight that rabbit cub! Liu Xiaoshan said. However, we have only accepted the first batch of weapons and ammunition, which is not enough to continue fighting for a long time! The staff officer reminded. Who said that we will fight for a long time, we still have to focus on assault, throw off these two wings, and turn to attack the dangerous place! Liu Xiaoshan said. Report! Received a telegram from the division commander that our army had received reinforcements and would launch an attack in the middle of the night tomorrow, asking us to rush to the roundabout location as soon as possible! A telegraph operator came and said. Great, we have not yet come with the heavy artillery of the devil, and we have moved to a place called Wumitai to the west of Tianwei, where the Japanese army has not arranged troops! "Because there's no defensive offense there! However, there are no absolutes in everything, and this place called Wumitai is a fatal place for Liu Xiaoshan, who detoured back to the back of the Japanese army! From the five-meter platform, you can directly attack the dangerous place, and you can also attack the artillery position that killed the devil by the way! Liu Xiaoshan organized a death squad, launched a counter-assault in the middle of the night before Liu Hai launched an attack, a cold attack, the Japanese army was full of Liu Xiaoshan, who thought it was dead, and Liu Xiaoshan took the opportunity to break through and rushed to the five-meter platform. After arriving at the five-meter platform, Liu Xiaoshan hid his troops in a large woods, quietly waiting for tomorrow's battle!
More than ten hours later, Liu Xiaoshan and Liu Hai got in touch and said that they would fully cooperate with the attack! At this time, the Japanese army was shocked by the appearance of a reorganized regiment of the Chinese army behind them, and quickly began to send troops to sweep it! However, just before dawn on the first day, the frontal bangs were already on the opposite side, ready to attack!
