See tomorrow........

Chen Haiquan put the ambush time when the devil had just entered the forest, first, because he could catch the devil off guard at this time, and second, he was afraid that after the devil and the Burmese entered the forest, they could rely on the cover of the bushes and the forest to escape; He had the intention of annihilating these devils.

There was an ambush in front and a chasing soldier in the back, although the Burmese of the devil had a desperate mind, but they were still invincible with two fists and four hands, and soon they were stabbed through the body with bayonets, and the sound of fighting in the forest gradually became much less.

"Ahh

"Clean up the battlefield and bring our brethren back."

The blood on Chen Haiquan's face had not yet coagulated, and he looked high-spirited, and the corpses of devils all over the ground made him ignore his own casualties.

It is impossible for the devils to be wiped out, in fact, taking advantage of the cover of darkness, there is a squad of devils or so who still escaped.

"It was reported that Regiment Commander Chen's western position was raided, and in the battle, more than 200 devils were annihilated; The 2nd Battalion of the 87th Regiment suffered more than 50 casualties. ”

Feng Ye was lying in the trench, and a company commander ran to report the situation to Feng Jie, and the call from Chen Haiquan did not let Feng Ye answer it personally, but asked the company commander who answered the phone to convey it.

As for the results of the operation in the city, Feng Ye had already received a report from the hospital half an hour ago, and the harvest tonight was a bit scary, but he didn't expect the Burmese to hoard so many medicines, and there were even a large number of precious medicines such as morphine, sulfonamides, and quinine.

After the Japanese occupied Hebang, in addition to sending the vanguard to prepare for a sneak attack on Tangji, they did not continue to pursue the area around Releem, they had already fought a few battles with the Sixth Army, knowing that it was not a charge to take down, in this generation, Tangji is the focus.

"Your Excellency, the 113th Wing has just reported that the night attack has failed, and the guard squadron has suffered heavy losses."

The Devil's Staff Officer brings bad news.

"Baga, this is definitely not a new corps, could it be that the troops of the new 22nd Division are deployed here in advance?"

The division commander frowned and looked at the map.

"Where is the 56 Infantry Regiment? What is the situation of the 146th and 148th wings? ”

The division commander Masao Watanabe let out a sigh of relief and looked at Takeshi Fujiwara, the chief of staff next to him.

Because the 56th Division adopted the tactics of long drive and direct entry, their troops were very scattered, not all the troops had the help of cars, and now there were only two squadrons of guards around the division headquarters; All of their troops, except for the assault troops, were behind them.

"Division commander, the 146th Wing will probably have a brigade to arrive tomorrow morning, the 148th Wing will be late, and a brigade will arrive at noon; The 56th Infantry Regiment will be even longer, and soldiers will arrive in Hebang on the evening of the 24th. ”

The chief of staff recalled today's telegram and calculated the time of arrival of these troops.

"That is, apart from a brigade of the 113th Wing and five squadrons of the search for Liandi, we have no troops available now?"

Masao Watanabe frowned, he was very dissatisfied with the current progress, Tang Ji attacked for a day without progress, and they were now facing a dilemma.

"Your Excellency, General, it is better for us to concentrate our forces and attack the Sixth Army on the side of Meng; We fought the Sixth Army a few times, and with the support of the air force, they absolutely did not hold out for a day. ”

Chief of Staff Takeshi Fujiwara pointed to the map and suggested.

"I want to think about ......"

Masao Watanabe could see that in fact, the best way to attack Tangyoshi was to attack from the east, because this side was not limited by the terrain, and their aviation and combat vehicles could exert their maximum firepower; Of course, this premise is to capture Pagoda Mountain; In order to capture Baota Mountain, it is necessary to sweep away the Chinese defenders next to Meng and provide the prerequisites for their attack on Baota Mountain.

"Order the 56th Infantry Regiment to build a position on the front line of the Heihe River and capture Tangyoshi, Shizuo Sakaguchi must ensure the safety of the rear road."

Masao Watanabe began to issue orders.

"Ordered the Search Wing, the 113th Wing, and the Guard Squadron to approach Meng while it was dark; Ask the air force to cooperate after dawn and attack the Chinese defenders next to Meng. ”

Masao Watanabe eventually chose to accept the advice of the chief of staff, as he was now unable to assess how long Tangyoshi's Chinese defenders would be able to hold out.

"Send electricity, please ask the commander to replenish the special bullet for us, and let the baggage wing bring it over; I want the mustard seed flower to bloom in Tangji. ”

Masao Watanabe looked at Tangyoshi, who had been enraged by Tangyoshi's Chinese defenders and decided to give these people a little color.

"Didi ......"

At midnight on 22 April, the radio stations of China and Japan were always working, and all kinds of intelligence were shuttling between the airwaves.

"Report, the Expeditionary Force Commander's Department ordered that the 85th Regiment and the 87th Regiment must stick to their current positions and not take a step back, violating military law."

"According to the report, the intelligence of the special high section shows that the 200th Division of the Chinese ace army has disappeared in Chok Padang, and according to the speculation of the 15th Army Headquarters, it is supporting the Tangji front, and your department must break through the front line of defense within 24 hours and continue to attack Lashio......"

Tang Ji's brothers had a good sleep after midnight, but the Sixth Army did not fall asleep next to Meng, they built fortifications overnight, hoping to block the Japanese army here, because now the strategic position of Meng is very prominent, once it is lost here, Lerem will be directly lost, and the devils can completely penetrate directly to Lashio from here, unless the Chinese defenders of Tang Ji are willing to fight with the devils in the field, otherwise they cannot be stopped.

Of course, the devils don't think so, they still have to worry about their back roads being cut off; Unless, Masao Watanabe is willing to take risks.

"Boom ......"

On the 23rd, just after dawn, the devil's plane began to bombard the Mengbian position, and the fortifications of the Sixth Army were not very tightly constructed, and they were soon riddled with holes under the attack of the devil's plane's aerial bombs.

"Kill and give!"

"Woo woo woo ......"

In the roar of the Tucker engine, the devil began a wave attack with the squadron as a unit, and the brothers of the Sixth Army who defended Meng fought bloodily, and the two sides fought fiercely until the afternoon, the positions of Meng Pan were broken through respectively, and the participating troops of the Sixth Army were in danger of being surrounded.

"Report, the Sixth Army is coming, Rerem has fallen, and the 56th Division of the Japanese Army has occupied Mengbian."

"Report, the commander's department called, the 200th Division Cavalry Regiment and the troops directly under the Fifth Army are thirty kilometers away from Tangji."

"Urgent telegram from the Commander's Department: Order Feng Yi's department to ensure the safety of Tangji and monitor the movement of the Japanese army next to Meng......"

A series of telegrams drifted towards Tangji, and now not only Du Yuming's eyes are here, but even the eyes of the Expeditionary Force Commander's Department and the Joint Command of the Burmese Army are gathered here; It is no longer a question of whether Burma can hold on to it, and everyone knows that Tangji is now related to the question of whether the Chinese expeditionary force can retreat smoothly.

Of course, there is another possibility that everyone didn't say, and even Du Yuming didn't dare to think about it, that is, to retreat to India with the British army when the war was not going well; In fact, the Chinese expeditionary force never thought of going to India, they can't win the devils here, they want to continue to fight the devils after returning home, they are Chinese after all, defending the country is the slogan, but they prefer to fight with the devils on their own land, so that even if they die, at least their souls can still float into their hometown.
