At night, Lin Xiuxuan carefully observed the enemy's crossing of the river through night vision devices. The enemy, as expected, is rapidly massing west of the river and crossing the river in an orderly manner. Each of the pontoon bridges they built was about 1.5 kilometers apart, corresponding to the assembly areas of the various wings, and it appeared to be extremely orderly. The pontoon bridge in the middle is being strengthened, and the equipment used is more than the other two, and the width is doubled, and it is estimated that heavy equipment will be used.

The 33rd Division pursued all the way from Yangon East to here, and in fact it had suffered considerable losses, but due to the smooth shipping of the sea after the Japanese occupation of Yangon, the replenishment of personnel and weapons was very rapid, and now the 33rd Division is not only fully manned, but also has some overstaff. In addition to the original 213, 214, and 215 wings, a 67 infantry wing was added. Judging from this high number, it is the main force of the original A Division (the original 15th Division).

However, this information was too detailed to be transmitted to the Allied command through Chen Zhiping. Lin Xiuxuan, who can't let himself disguise Nanji Radio, is always talking about his own number and transfer, which is too abnormal, in fact, he has realized that Chen Zhiping is starting to be suspicious, maybe because the intelligence came too easily, which triggered his vigilance.

In addition to the four infantry wings, Sakurai also strengthened the 14th tank wing and the 14th machine gun wing, and now he has more than 20,000 men and horses. Probably the lieutenant general himself is also a little complacent, and the ambition to sweep the world is fierce.

The drone observed that the 14th Tank Wing had not crossed the river for a long time, perhaps Chu Tingchang had beaten too hard, leaving a lot of damaged vehicles to repair. According to Lin's calculations, it is better to let the tougher troops go over, and leave the baggage troops and headquarters on this side of the river, so as to blow up the bridge. You can hit these key points behind you and destroy the command headquarters, which is equivalent to destroying the enemy's divisions. The entire Burma offensive could be said to be reversed, so that he and his team could free up their hands and hunt down Asano.

"Team leader, Qin Xiaosu has heard a new division number. It was issued by the Iida Command. However, the frequency of monitoring is very low, and it cannot be ruled out that the main force is still at sea. Just routine inquiries. Xu Chong reminded.

"It's a pity that there are no large drones to confirm it," he said, sitting down behind the mound, "the troops that were supposed to go to Borneo are now all broken up, and their whereabouts are completely uncertain." ”

"yes, probably to Papua New Guinea. Or come to me. I always felt that this group of Japanese travelers was eyeing Myanmar and Guinea. ”

"Actually, I'm staring at India and Australia, and there's a strategist-minded guy in them, and this guy is probably the most pompous and useless of them all, but the depth and breadth of his research on the history of warfare is above us. That's what I'm worried about. ”

"Team leader, are you saying that the stupid Asano has affected the deployment of the Japanese army?"

"Well, that's the most reasonable guess. This person may just be an amateur military history enthusiast, who has a distance between military and technology, and we often underestimate him; But lately, I've always felt that the Japanese are now more focused on their all-out strategy. It is likely that this Asano's opinion played a role, so his danger was more above Hasegawa; My concern is that he has read some historical information that is not widely circulated, and we don't know it. ”

"If he is out of character, maybe it will make them fail faster."

"Perhaps, but here alone, the situation seems to be worse. The strength of the Allied forces on this side is still 5 brigades of the British army and 3 corps of the national army, which is not more than in history, but the 14th tank wing, which the Japanese originally did not have, appeared, and if more troops landed, the situation would be even worse. ”

"What about the east? Chen Zhiping seems to be indifferent to the information we sent him. ”

"This old thing is too hateful to eat intelligence, but maybe Du Yuming doesn't trust him very much. When this is the case, let's go east. Didn't the Japanese want to stealthily sneak attack? We're going to make some noise for him so that they can't hide it. At present, the two regiments of the 74th Army are in Baoshan, and as long as they go forward to Pu'er, then the eastern front will be stable. I'm afraid that the command will obviously see the threat, but use some rotten troops to fill up and comfort itself. You have to know that those miscellaneous cards are not one in ten, and no matter how many people there are, they are not the top of the. ”

"If we succeed here, I see that Iida will have to come back to the western front, and the entire offensive will be stopped for at least a month, then the threat on the eastern front will be lifted."

"That being said, we have to prepare for the worst."

Chu Tingchang flew back to the station overnight and began to study the offensive route. His troops had one more day to rest, while Sun Liren's troops were to quietly withdraw from the engagement and then begin to move overnight.

In the morning, he called several company platoon commanders to assign tasks. After the arrangement was completed, the others left, and only Zhou Youfu stayed sneakily alone. Pavilion Chief Chu knew that this guy had something to ask of him, so he deliberately put on a straight face.

"Old Zhou, I heard that you have made a fortune recently."

"What's the fortune?" Zhou Youfu said with wide eyes.

"Someone brought the munitions from the British warehouse to the Minjian market to buy them, and the British military police are checking them."

"Brooke's complaint again? Didn't I do this to supplement my brothers' food? Those Burmese rubles that were sent when I went abroad were already hairy. The towels, clothes, and mosquito nets in those warehouses are not military supplies, in fact, they can't be sold at all. That is to say, I begged the overseas Chinese leaders of others, and they only accepted it for the sake of the face of the expeditionary force. ”

"Clothes mosquito nets...... I ask you, what about 300 British tyres? ”

"What tires? Camp, don't listen to the nonsense of the Americans, smuggling military supplies, it's all the Flying Tigers, they did it themselves, I swear to God, if it ......"

Chu Tingchang shook his hand and didn't let him continue, he knew that this ruffian swearing was no different from farting.

"Forget it, I'm upset when I see you, get out."

"Battalion commander, before you get out, I have one more thing to ask of you." Zhou Youfu's hippie smile just doesn't go.

"Say."

"Isn't that about to fight? And the devil desperately said, Sakurai's dog head is wrapped in my old Zhou, but ...... This battle is fought, isn't it...... Let the brethren," Zhou Youfu said, twisting his mind, "...... There are some female students from overseas Chinese schools in the refugee camp in the north, and they want to come to our camp to help with laundry, just to make a little money, I want to ......"

"No doors, laundry? You think I don't know about you? Chu Tingchang suddenly became angry and slapped the pistol given by Jiang Jingguo on the table, "The big war is coming, you are full of this kind of thing, see if I don't collapse you today." He grabbed the pistol and loaded it.

Zhou Youfu hurriedly fled, he knew that Chu Tingchang was making a show, but the time to talk about this matter today was not right, and he had to wait until the fight was over before mentioning it.

However, Camp Chief Chu gave him a very confused feeling, obviously he was a person who knew people's affairs, blowing and patting in front of people, and he laughed along with others when they said meat jokes, but after the people, he changed like a person, one person tinkered with the map, and he didn't play pai gow, and drank a small glass of foreign wine before going to bed every day, never much, and there were no women in the room with a calendar.

The attack of the 200th Division on the 18th Division intensified from this morning without stopping, solely in order to create a false impression for the enemy. Sure enough, the enemy was in the middle of the plan, and Sun Liren's troops were quickly mobilized, and the Japanese army on the western route still did not know the depths, and they went deep alone.

Aizawa's 14th Wing remained in place, and the parts that had just arrived at the back had just arrived, and the charioteers had to speed up repairs so that they could get their tanks together.

A grease-stained soldier stood on the tank wiping his sweat and noticed that there was a black spot in the sky that was there when he looked up ten minutes earlier.

"Look, what's there?"

Jun Cao pointed and pointed, attracting the attention of others.

"It's a bird, isn't it?"

"How can a bird not move at all?"

Lin Xiuxuan noticed from the picture that the Japanese troops below gathered and wanted to point fingers, and realized that they were flying too low, so they began to move and increase their altitude, and soon its hovering drone flew out of the Japanese field of vision.

He had been keeping an eye on the 14th Wing, hoping that the unit would cross the Irrawaddy before launching an attack, so that the battle would be easier, but it looked like they were too late to cross the river. This means that there will be a fierce battle for Chu Aiyun, otherwise, this armored wing alone will be able to cause great trouble to the new 38th Division, which is composed entirely of infantry.

Night finally fell. On the British airfield in Acchab, a Wellington bomber took off slowly, and several others were on standby in the rear. The crew's mission today was surprisingly simple and strange, the bomb bay carried only one large *, but the target was not at sea, but inland, and they did not even need to cross the enemy's theater of operations, but chose to drop bombs upstream of the river close to the enemy.

Due to the advantages of the radar station, they can get full navigation after takeoff, and it is not too difficult to find ground guidance lights in the second stage, and there are some dangers in dropping bombs at low altitudes, but compared to the risk of entanglement with the Hayabusa, it is also completely acceptable.

After flying over Ringanqiang, they began to look for the upper iron bridge. Soon saw the searchlight position near the bridge.

The pilot turns according to the course and tries to fly above the river, looking for flashes on the river's surface. The bombing area was soon discovered. This kind of aircraft still does not have radio altimetry equipment, but the surface of the river reflected by the moonlight forms sparkling waves, and in fact, it is not a river that is completely invisible in the dark area.

The first bomber was lowered to an altitude of 150 meters, and then one * was dropped. The second plane had just taken off at this time.

The thunderbolt fell into the rapids, making a splash, and then quickly floated and drifted downstream.

In a way, it was impossible for it to miss that pontoon. The Japanese pontoon bridge is quite professional, the main body is covered with a wooden pontoon, and there are cables to connect the shore to keep the bridge in shape, so that it will not be washed away by the current. The gaps between the pontoons, as well as the height of the shelves, are not enough to let go of such a * with antennae growing on all sides. And once it explodes, the blown up pontoon bridge will definitely be swept away by the rapids and go downstream with the current, and the wreckage will not block the second one*. Everything is in Lin Xiuxuan's calculations, the only problem is that the moonlight is good today, and I don't know how far the Japanese can see the drifting thunder approaching. If there seems to be some opportunities even if the fire blockade is carried out, in that case, it may be necessary to rush out of the horse to solve the problem.

A squadron of the 213th Onjing Wing, which was on the pontoon bridge, was passing in two columns of infantry, and the baggage was a little troublesome, because the horses were afraid to walk on the rocking bridge at night, and had to wait until dawn.

A sharp-eyed soldier saw a shiny thing haunting the waves in the distance.

"Hey, Gangtian, what do you think there?"

"Yes...... Dead elephants, right? ”

Another soldier replied.

"Well, maybe an elephant."

These devils have been fighting in the southeast eye for a few months, and they are also well-informed, they have seen elephants that died in battle, and if their stomachs are bloated and they float on the surface of the river, they probably look like that.

"It's so pitiful, dying because of the human war."

* Slowly drift towards the target, and when you get close enough to get close to the demons on the march, you can see the protruding trigger fuses on it.

It just stuck in the middle of the two pontoons, and a tentacle pushed up to the metal cover covering it, pushing the cover up dozens of degrees, and the pressure of triggering the fuse was rapidly increasing.

There was a loud bang on the river, and then a fireball rose, and most of the squadron marching above was wiped out in an instant, and the explosion startled Sakurai San's lunch box that was eating to the ground.
