Yangon, the headquarters of the 15th Army of the Devils; The overall situation of Myanmar has been decided, and Shozo Riverside breathed a sigh of relief.

"How's Lashio going? Aerospace supported so many times? Hasn't Watanabe been captured yet? ”

Kawabe Shozo sat on a chair, his stick banging on the table.

"Your Excellency Commander, General Watanabe called, the Chinese army dug a large number of trenches, used a lot of mines and explosives to defend, and the 56th Division has already suffered casualties of nearly two brigades, and only occupies two lines of defense on the periphery......"

The staff officer took the telegram and picked up the key points to report to the commander.

"Where has the baggage wing of the 18th Division gone? When will they be able to join the 56 Division? ”

Kawabe asked with a frown.

"Based on the position of an hour ago, it should be possible to meet with the 56th Division at night."

The staff officer thought back, not sure.

"What about the 33rd Division? How are they? ”

Kawabe Shozo's mind jumped, staring at the direction of Nankan and asked.

"They have just occupied Ba Mo, and now they want to attack Nankan and advance, and they are expected to attack tomorrow morning."

More and more combat staff officers stood next to Shozo by the river answering questions.

"Is the position of the 200th Division of the Fifth Army locked?"

Kawabe Shozo stood up, his brow furrowing more and more.

"Yesterday, the 56 Infantry Regiment ambushed them in the area west of Nanlan, east of the Nandu River; The 200th Division attacked too sharply, and only achieved more than 300 results, and they broke through. ”

"Report, the aviation is ready to attack, will it continue to bombard the positions on the outskirts of Lashio?"

At this time, a staff officer reported on the phone.

"Continue the bombing, as General Watanabe has requested."

"Order the 56th Division, starting today, to besiege but not attack."

"Order the defenders of Heights 287.5 and the area north of them to open their mouths and let the Fifth Army pass."

"Order, the 55th Division, the 18th Division, and the 56th Infantry Regiment must encircle and annihilate the 200th Division of the Fifth Army in the areas of Nanlan, Kyaukmai, and Mengya; Take this opportunity to smash the iron fist of the expeditionary force. ”

"Order the air force, starting tomorrow, to bomb all areas of Lashio, especially this one; The Fifth Army can't be allowed to get any more supplies, and if they have supplies here, I'm afraid the war will drag on again......"

Shozo Riverside issued orders in succession, and he was finally sober now, Lashio's supplies were out of his favor, and at night, when the planes could not be lifted into the air, the Fifth Army would definitely join the Lashio defenders before dawn.

The 200th Division of the Fifth Army can attack, the new 22nd Division is also very capable of fighting, and the 96th Division is very resilient in defense, and this unit is worthy of being the trump card of the Chinese, but fortunately, their ammunition is now one shot less, and the grain is one bite less, destroying the materials of Lashio, and the Japanese army can also be called from Yangon, Mandalay, and other places, and the Chinese will slowly become toothless tigers.

"Hello!"

The Japanese staff officer who recorded the order received the order loudly and rushed to the radio to issue the latest order.

And south of Lashio, after the bombing of the devil's plane, Feng Ye did not wait for the devil's attack, and there was a rare blank time on the battlefield.

"Hoo ......"

On the battlefield, the devils did not attack, Feng Ye took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one and threw the rest to the brothers.

"Commander, you said that the devil bombed, why didn't you attack? What are they up to? ”

After taking a puff of his cigarette, a platoon commander asked with a grin.

"I don't know, we're a nail now, and our mission is to die here; When Chief Du and the others arrive, we will complete the task. ”

Feng Yi shook his head, he didn't know what the devil wanted to do, he only knew that Chief Du was moving closer to Lashio, and his task was about to be completed.

"Captain, good news, good news......"

A communications soldier shouted and ran towards Feng Ye.

"The Fifth Army is coming?"

Feng Yi stood up and asked.

"Company Commander Liang, they blocked more than 200 defeated soldiers, and now there are almost 500 defeated soldiers by the Qingshui River."

The communications soldier scratched his head and said.

"The devils in the north don't attack, but it's not safe to have the avenue; They don't want to come in during the day! ”

"Tell the second platoon commander to let him go to the Qingshui River when it is dark, send some food to Company Commander Liang, and bring back those defeated soldiers."

Feng Yi frowned, the devil's unusual performance surprised him very much.

"How's the city's supplies going?"

Feng Yi is most concerned about this, the devil has not bombed the material warehouse now, which does not mean that the devil is kind; Once the Fifth Army joins up with itself, the devils will definitely attack the material warehouse.

"Secretary Wang is urging, but there are too many things, I'm afraid it's ......"

The signal soldiers don't know what to say, Lashio was originally the material supply base of the expeditionary force, and with the supplies aided by the Americans, the real supplies are piled up.

"Whew!"

Feng Ye spat out the last puff of his cigarette and hurried back to the forward command post.

"Hey, Wang Ying; Remember, the large and space-consuming guns are left alone, and all the food, ammunition, and medicine must be disposed of. ”

"That's right! The devils have lost a lot here, and I estimate that sooner or later they will have to attack the material warehouse, and once the devils bomb, you will immediately evacuate there and go into bunkers. ”

"Well, take care of yourself!"

In the intermittent period, Feng hung up the phone.

Feng Yi stopped fighting here for the time being, and similarly, the 200th Division south of Nanlan is now hiding in the woods, they have been shuttling in the woods since Tangji, and without cars, their marching speed is not fast, because they have a large amount of heavy equipment.

"Division commander, do you really want those mortars? It's a shame to blow it up! ”

Infantry commander Zheng Tingjian was a little reluctant, they relied on these equipment, fought so many battles, if they didn't have these things, they would not even lose some confidence in fighting.

"Anyway, there are no shells, why keep them? Drag down everyone's time. ”

"An hour later, the radio was turned on, the corps commander was contacted, and the whole division was ready to attack; His female horse, the devil clings to us like a dog along the way, and tonight, we will either move closer to Lashio or to Chief Du. ”

Dai Anlan cursed, he was now alone; was ambushed several times before, and in order to break through the blockade line of the devils, they shot all the shells of the mountain artillery and blew up the mountain artillery; And now, even the mortars are not saved, the shells have been exhausted yesterday.

"Tell the brethren that we should save more bullets, and before we enter Lashio, we will shoot one bullet less than one bullet."

Dai Anlan took the trouble to explain that the Americans' guns are good, but they also consume ammunition quickly, starting from Tangji, the two base ammunition they carried have basically been exhausted, and now each brother is not even fifty rounds of ammunition.

"Didi ......"

The sun disappeared in the sky, and in the haze, the radio of the 200th Division was turned on again, and the radio waves rushed to the headquarters of the Fifth Army; The radio station does not turn on, not because Dai Anlan is afraid of being exposed, but because the manual power generation device of the radio station is broken, and they can only rely on the battery to support it now.
