In the headquarters of the main fort of the Japanese army.

"Report to the Wing Commander, just now the US bombers dropped incendiary bombs, the Fifth Brigade suffered heavy casualties, the captain Inoue was broken, and less than 200 people were withdrawn......"

Bamboo closed his eyes in exhaustion, the napalm was too terrifying, and no one wanted to get out of that situation.

Counting the losses of the Fourth Brigade, more than 1,000 casualties were caused in half a day's effort, but the Tree Fort was still firmly occupied by the Huaxia people, and the entire wing would be exhausted if it continued to be fought in this way.

Seeing that Takeuchi Renshan did not speak, Chief of Staff Yoshino opened his mouth and stopped talking, but the situation had to be reported, so he could only continue under pressure:

"The enemy took advantage of this artillery bombardment to occupy the mid-mountain rocks and carried out a tentative attack on our second defense position, and they dug the entrance to the tunnel and are advancing inside."

Want to fight from the tunnel!? Takeuchi opened his eyes suddenly.

I didn't expect that the two forces on the east coast would be able to let go of their hatred and hatred of the enemy, and with mutual cooperation, they couldn't resist it at all.

And the commander on the east bank was ruthless, from the sneak attack on the tree fort to the attack across the river, and then to the bombing and heavy artillery strikes by planes, he pressed step by step without giving himself any time to breathe.

This made Takeuchi feel an unprecedented sense of frustration in his heart, why did he make such perfect preparations and seem powerless in front of the other party?

"Report, Your Excellency Wing Commander, I have just received information that the 13 Falcon fighters of the 9th Squadron of the Army Aviation are less than 30 kilometers away from us, and they will arrive at the battlefield within 5 minutes." A telegraph operator suddenly ran over and said.

"Wow Kada! Yoshino, immediately order the troops to pay attention to the air situation, and immediately launch an attack on the Huaxia people after the shelling stops, and be sure to drive the enemy out of the mid-mountain rocks with the cooperation of the air force, and not give them another chance! ”

"Hey!"

The time for a counterattack finally came, and Takeuchi calmed down his bad mood, and his face burst out with a strong fighting spirit again, and it was absolutely impossible to make him admit defeat.

……

"Call Mike, our mission is complete, and now we're ready to return." Cooper said with a walkie-talkie.

After dropping the six milk pounds, they were done with their work and were finally able to go back to the airport for two glasses of wheat beer.

“…… All right, thank you, and have a great trip. McLuhan replied.

Cooper turned off the intercom and leaned back in his chair with his head crossed, leisurely admiring the white clouds outside the window.

At this time, Anderson smiled at him and asked, "Did they approve your application?" ”

“No shit！ Again, for those reasons, like I can't be a pilot. Cooper said angrily.

He was very angry at the mention of this. He has applied several times to become a fighter pilot, and has been self-taught for a long time, but his superiors have always rejected his request due to lack of ability.

"Forget it, you're the best bombardier I've ever seen, you can destroy more enemies in this position, and we'll not get used to it when you're gone." Anderson exclaimed comfortingly.

"Wait and see, I'll ......"

"Damn it! Anderson Watch Your 6 O'Clock Direction, Japanese Airplane! Before Cooper could finish his sentence, Wesker's nervous growl suddenly came over the intercom.

“Goddammit！” Anderson hurriedly looked through the reverse viewing glass, only to see six Japanese Hayabusa fighters drilled out of the clouds behind him, attacking their B17 from two directions.

"The Heavy is in position, everyone moves, hurry up!"

In addition to Anderson and the co-pilot, 9 crew members, including Cooper, quickly ran to the various machine gun positions and got ready.

The speed of the Japanese fighters was very fast, they quickly approached the B17 in two flight formations, and the two P40s that accompanied the flight hurriedly dispersed to evade, but the Hayabusa fighters that came first had already bitten them.

"Bang bang ......!"

"Bang bang ......!"

Six Hayabusa fired at them in unison, and the fiery snakes erupted from 12 machine guns swept over the two bulky P40 fighters, one of which was blown up in the air and the other dragged black smoke to the ground.

After solving them, the 6 Falcon fighters crossed several arcs and galloped towards the climbing B17 under the leadership of the formation commander.

……

Not long ago, the commander of the 15th Army, Shojiro Iida, personally issued an order to the 56th Division stationed in Tengchong, asking it to quickly send fighter planes to help the direction of Nantianmen.

The commander of the 56th Division did not dare to disobey the order of the commander, and immediately sent a full 13 Hayabusa fighters to support the Takeuchi Wing fighting at Nantianmen.

Shojiro Iida was well aware that the Nantenmon Gate was an important stronghold to support the victory. If this place is captured by the Chinese, Tengchong Longling will have no support, and the triangular fulcrum of the Nujiang defense system will collapse in an instant.

By that time, the Chinese could have attacked from multiple directions. As long as the supreme commander of Western Yunnan was not a fool, the military strength of the Japanese army west of the Nu River was simply not enough to resist the swarming Chinese.

Once the entire western Yunnan is lost, the Japanese 15th Army on the Burmese side will have to face a flank attack from both the Indian garrison and the expeditionary force, and the entire strategic situation will undergo earth-shaking changes, which is absolutely unacceptable to Shojiro Iida.

In addition to air support, Tengchong's 56th Division also sent a wing to rush to Nantianmen, and the 36th Brigade stationed in Longling County also sent a reinforcement, which also included the notorious Gangzi 9420 Force.

This battle of Nantianmen was of great importance, and the Japanese army in western Yunnan set its sights on it.

Ironically, unlike the Japanese army's all-round deployment of troops, the command system in western Yunnan was in chaos.

It was learned from the intelligence department that all units of the Japanese army west of the Nu River were preparing for war. But the Supreme Commander, General Song, was confused, what the hell? Who's at war? Who the is going to?

Because the original offensive plan was temporarily shelved, the specifics of the front line were not clear to the top brassips. However, as Yu Xiaoqing's top boss, Commander Zhong was one head and two big, and on the one hand, he had to deal with General Song's incessant inquiries, and he had to desperately restrain the troops below not to move.

"Zhong Bin, what's the situation at the front? Didn't you say that the troops were not ready for the cancellation of the offensive plan ?? Why did the Japanese rush to Matsuyama like fried hair? Give me an explanation! ”

"Yes, sir! It should be that there is something wrong on the front line, and I will immediately send someone to verify the situation and report it to you immediately. ”

On the other end of the phone, General Song's stern questioning was endless, and Commander Zhong had to call haha and say that he would definitely check it out immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Bin immediately instructed the telegraph operator to continue to contact the front line, but after his order was sent to the Yu Division and the Sichuan Army, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he did not get the slightest response, and even Tang Ji, who had been the contact person of the eyeliner, did not know where to go.

In such a situation, Commander Zhong scolded his mother, do you still need to ask, it must be that the two troops did not obey the order to launch an attack on the Japanese army without authorization.

Commander Song, who couldn't get an answer for a long time, threw the question to the allies again, and the top brass of the US Air Command Department was also confused, didn't he say that the battle was very fierce and needed immediate support? How is it that even their highest commander does not know that there is a war going on.

As the front-line leader, Hertlin and the others pretended not to know, and explained that they had received a request for support from the allied command at the beginning, and they also reacted immediately, and everything was reasonable.
