He ran to no one to check if Qin Xiaosu had any new messages for him, and after the special team left, the information he could obtain was suddenly seven or eight out of ten. However, this time there was an update, and Qin Xiaosu's listening station discovered that the enemy in front of him had dense communication and judged the precursor of an attack. He also overheard the enemy's deployment of anti-aircraft artillery, and it was evident that the enemy was very afraid of his tanks. However, the enemy's worries may be excessive, and his tank's main gun ammunition is almost running out, and it will probably be difficult to play a decisive role in defensive battles. And the newly admitted troops and refugees, will they be a help or a burden, and will there be an enemy in them?

"Chu, Chu, I'm back." It was Brooke's voice, and it seemed that Cao Cao Cao had arrived.

Brooke walked past two sentry posts and rushed in with a dozen rolls of stuff in his arms.

"Found the shells?"

"No, it's something more useful than a cannonball, it's a plan of the pit."

"I'm not going to open a mine, what do you want to do with this?"

"You can see how big the British are in Monneva's mining area and how complicated the passage is."

Brooke said as he came over and laid out the pit map on the table, and Chu Tingchang stepped in and came over to take a look. After a pause of 30 seconds, it suddenly realized that maybe Brooke had not been seen all day, and it was indeed valuable, and he seemed to have found something useful.

"Asia's most advanced non-ferrous metal mine really lives up to its name."

"Yes, the last sixty years of mining have created access roads in all directions, and these main tunnels that drill through the mountains can even allow trucks to drive in, and our scouts can quietly disperse behind the enemy to reconnoiter and direct our artillery." Brooke presented his bold vision.

"No, if the width and height of the tunnels in these pits were real, I could even drive the tanks behind the enemy's back. Use these pit tracks to send * into these valleys and bury them in the enemy's path. Didn't we have hundreds of tons of mines* afraid that there would be nowhere to hide, that Japanese planes or spies would set them on fire and throw them right on the heads of the Japanese. Chu Tingchang's mind flashed through a lot of plans, which really surprised Brooke, he only thought of using underground facilities for reconnaissance and some piecemeal guerrilla plans in the afternoon, Chu Tingchang stood in front of the map for less than a minute, and actually thought more far-reaching and bold.

"Transporting tanks through tunnels?"

"Yes, I'm worried that tanks are useless in the mountains, and we don't have anti-aircraft weapons. Do you remember what your grandson said? ”

"How?"

"The Good Keeper hides under the Nine Lands."

"Under the Nine Earths?" Brooke was startled, thinking that he was going to say something to ask the gods again.

"I'm so blind, I almost didn't notice when I got to the place where I could have played the most."

"You're good at fighting underground?"

"It's not the same, I'm the best at being elusive, the best at hiding with the enemy, the best at using all kinds of terrain, and the best at carrying forward the advantages of reconnaissance means."

Brooke nodded reluctantly, signaling that he roughly understood. He knew that Pavilion Chief Chu was good at intrigue and trickery, of course, it was impossible to fully understand the implication of these words, and it was impossible for Pavilion Chief Chu to say it too bluntly. To some extent, if he is not a traverser, just as a submarine officer, his professional training also tells him one thing, that is, to establish asymmetric advantages in information and concealment, unlike other branches of the military, submarine officers do not need to balance advantages such as firepower or defense, etc., information and concealment are decisive factors, and everything else is secondary or secondary.

"Can your team immediately use the pits to help me keep an eye on the enemy's movements in the areas I've marked? The enemy may be attacking tonight, and you know it's their emperor's birthday. ”

"Yes."

"Then to establish radio communications on several commanding heights, I need timely information, and it takes half a day for the communications corps to travel several kilometers in the dark tunnels."

"I don't think so?"

"Don't have to?" This time, it was Chu Tingchang's turn to be surprised.

"I can restore the backup power in these pits and put two more people in the switchboard, so you can stay here and wait for my call."

"It looks like I can be like a spider, in the center of the spider's web, waiting for those reporters to take revenge on the division commander to send them to death?"

"I know the Japanese are going to arrest you, so of course you can hide here. I don't know about the ridiculous idea of revenge of the Japanese, maybe it was your brutal bandit men who infuriated them by cutting off the head of their division commander and hanging it on a telephone pole, leaving a samurai to die an undignified death. However, Zhou Youfu's barbaric behavior did make them crazy, and this is not to our detriment, because once people are crazy, they are prone to make mistakes, especially the Japanese. ”

"I told Zhou Youfu that I want Sakurai dog head, but it's actually just a symbolic statement, but I didn't expect him to really do that." Chu Tingchang waved his hand, of course he knew that the Japanese didn't want to arrest him because of this. But I can't stop Brooke from guessing.

"When I returned, I saw him executing your own people?"

"It's a Japanese spy, this time it's not the scum of those pseudo-districts, it's a guy from Tokyo Nakano School. There are pictures of me and your Uncle Shi in my pocket. ”

"To be hated by the enemy is the pride of a soldier."

"I'd rather give you this pride."

Lashio out-of-town shelter. Lin Xiuxuan wore a shirt and walked through the rout army from all walks of life. It took him a moment to hide all the things around him that shouldn't be seen by others, and he also completed a communication, and his military uniform had been thrown away, because the uniform identification plate said someone from the 49th Division. However, he doesn't have someone in his pocket for the 49th Division, and even if he has, he can't take it out, there are miscellaneous 49th Division people everywhere, and he can find out if he is an impostor. Thinking about it, the name Lin Linqi is more reliable, he originally planned to throw away this document, but it seems that it is still useful to leave it in a thought.

He already knew that Ma Qiang and Xu Chong did not save the pilot, only found a parachute, and the pilot's whereabouts are unknown, but a foreigner who drives a plane must know that it cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese, in the eyes of the Japanese, the Americans are a rare breed of sacrificial knives, and almost every Japanese soldier has a dream, that is, one day he can boast that he has slashed and killed a white man who is a head taller than himself and has a strong shoulder.

If the pilot survives, there is a good chance that he will come to this place. He must now hurry to get the revised order to the command generals in order to save this force and lay the groundwork for a future counteroffensive. And this pilot will become a potential threat, because it is not known whether he knows the content of the order. There is no airfield in Lashio, but there is a flat area east of Chengguan, and perhaps the original intention of the headquarters was to let the planes land there, which would probably allow the pilots to relay some parts of the order that were not written.

He lined up to get a porridge and sat down to eat, not so much to eat, but to wait for the inkblot wax seal to become flawless, which took time.

This bowl of porridge may be the most clear soup and little water food he has ever eaten in his life, it seems that the materials in the warehouse of Lashio do not include grain, which is understandable, who will use the most valuable transportation capacity to transport flour and rice, China as an agricultural country, although there have been disasters and famines, but it can still produce some food. He has been paying attention to the soldiers around him, and seeing that they are all wrong, there are 93rd and 94th divisions, 49th divisions, temporary 55th divisions, and even 200 divisions, but he has not found any 96th divisions, it seems that there are no 96th division personnel here, and it is time to take a risk.

He walked straight to the men of the 58th Division's special service battalion with picket armbands pinned to the front.

"Brother, I want to see your officer."

The other party was frightened by his stop.

"Papers?"

The soldier spread his hands and asked him for his papers.

He calmly took out his documents and handed them to the other party.

The soldier saw his rank of lieutenant and stood upright and saluted.

"Sir, how did the 96th Division get here?"

"Oh, the one who retreated from Jingdong. I want to see your commander. There is important military intelligence. He said as he handed the cowhide round forward.

At dusk, the headquarters of the 58th Division was in a hurry, with correspondents coming in and out with all kinds of intelligence and orders, and the sound of Zhang Lingfu slapping the table and cursing people was heard in the innermost part.

"What is the communication company doing, why is there no response to the telegram?"

"Only the 51st Division was called through in the afternoon, but they didn't know what the upper peak had arranged for us, and they couldn't find them at this time."

"Li Tianxia won't be, just send a radio station to the other side of the river to fool us, right? Where is his main force? ”

"I don't know, it should still be in Dali."

"Where is Du Yuming?"

"Or not, maybe still carry out the radio silence agreed upon before the battle of Mandela."

"The battle of Mandela? The Japanese are all here, where is the Battle of Mandalay? Now every minute is precious, and even being heard by the Japanese about deployment is secondary, and the most important thing is time, time. ”

He walked around in the room with a huff, feeling that he was the only one in the world who cared about the war, and that others were either grinding foreign workers or dragging their feet. One of the most painful things for him now is that he is like falling into an isolated world, completely unaware of the situation outside, whether it is the situation north of the Nu River or the situation in Mandalay, he has not even officially joined the expeditionary force sequence of the Battle of Mandalay, nor has he received any communication from the old superiors and the new superiors, and the blowing up of the Huitong Bridge and the cutting off of the passage to Meimiao occurred almost at the same time, and even the communication soldiers could not travel in these two directions.

"Report, someone has found the order dropped by the liaison plane." Someone came in to report

"Oh, bring it in." Hearing this news made him a little excited, "Didn't someone see that plane shot down on the side of the Japanese blockade?" ”

"Yes, it was picked up in the afternoon by a lieutenant of the 96th Division, who had crossed the positions of both sides and came to our side four hours earlier. I just handed this thing in. ”

"Arrived 4 hours ago? Why did it arrive so late? ”

He said as he opened the barrel and pulled out the command.

"The lieutenant of the 96th Division was a little wounded, so he first went to the field hospital to bandage it, and then went to the shelter to eat, and then he came."

"Eat." Zhang Lingfu slammed the table in front of him with a horsewhip, and the subordinates next to him who had just relaxed were all startled.

"Such an important military situation, he went to eat first? China has fallen to this point and is slaughtered by the Japanese because there are too many such soldiers. I know how to eat and eat...... And the people of the 96th Division, how did they come here? ”

"Master's seat...... He said that it was the engineering unit that was dispersed in Jingdong two days ago and transferred here. ”

Jing Dong lost two hours, it became a joke, but there was such a good man who ran 200 miles in 2 days, why didn't he fight to the death with the Japanese? It seems that he is a deserter, go, send this person to the military justice team, and shoot him by delaying the army. ”

"Shizuo, this is the people of the 5th Army, even if there is a suspicion of delaying the military aircraft, we can't move their people, right?" The deputy division commander hurriedly said.
