Chapter 243: A New Beginning

Liao Mingyu frowned, could it be that there was something wrong with Xing Fuquan? He didn't stop and hurried to the top of the mountain.

As expected, the vanguard of the Sato Wing from Longling had already arrived at the foot of Nantianmen Mountain, but they did not know that the Takeuchi Wing had been destroyed and was attacking all of Xingfu stationed in the anti-slope.

The second battalion, which was waiting for work, was not afraid, and gave these little devils who did not know the depth of the blow to the head, and the Japanese army realized the strength of the other side after only fifteen minutes of fighting.

"When did the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia army become so strong? Haven't you contacted Takeuchi yet? Call the Wing Commander for the next action order? ”

Captain Yokono gave the order to stop the attack, he was a little confused about the details of the other party, it stands to reason that if the Takeuchi team was still on the mountain, he should automatically contact them, and the inside and outside should be combined to break the enemy's encirclement, but now the telegrams sent in the past are like a stone sinking into the sea, no one responds.

Could it be that the defenders on the Nantian Gate have all broken jade? Yokono immediately shook his head, how could the Huaxia people annihilate the Takeuchi United, which had six thousand people, in just two days, and he didn't dare to think about it.

However, the Wing Commander's reply actually confirmed his suspicions, and the Japanese military top brass desperately contacted the Takeuchi Wing but did not get the slightest response, so that their telecommunications section finally found that even the radio signal in the direction of Nantianmen had disappeared.

All this shows that the worst fears have happened, and it is very likely that the Takeuchi United team has been wiped out.

Captain Sato didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ordered the Yokono Brigade to retreat back to 20 kilometers away, because according to intelligence, there were still thousands of Huaxia people on the Nantian Gate!

"Humph! It's pretty fast. ”

Liao Mingyu, who was standing on the top of the mountain, said with some disdain, the little devil came and went in a hurry, and it seemed that he had already learned the result of the Battle of Nantianmen.

"Feelings are a bunch of anticlimactic goods, Tuanza, are we going to chase them?" Meng on the side was annoyed and hurriedly asked.

"Forget it, leave them alone, let Xing Fu send an observation post to keep a close eye on the surrounding Japanese troops. And get rid of the tunnels as soon as possible, I'm sure there are still a lot of little devils in those rat holes. Liao Mingyu shook his head and ordered.

"Okay."

These little devils were quite cautious, and immediately retreated when they saw that the situation was wrong. The situation of the Japanese troops who came to the aid behind is unknown, and if they rush to pursue, it is very likely that they will be in the middle of it, so it is better to defend themselves to cope with all changes.

"By the way, did you find Renzan Takeuchi?" Liao Mingyu asked suddenly.

"Not yet, this old devil should still be hiding in the tunnel, just dead and dead, leading the team down, I don't know ...... now"

"Tuanza! Tuanza! ”

Just when Meng was tired of talking, Long Wenwen walked over with the commando team and others.

Not spicy, to be numb, and Milong walked in to greet Liao Mingyu...... Looking at these old brothers whose faces were covered with gunsmoke and almost everyone was injured, Liao Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

The successful capture of the Tree Fort laid the foundation for the entire campaign, and as a commando team, they were even more dead, and less than 20 of the entire 200-man team survived.

"Brothers have worked hard, you have made great contributions in this battle, and I Liao Mingyu thank you here!"

Liao Mingyu tidied up the corners of his clothes, stood up straight, and saluted Long Wenwen and the others with a solemn expression.

"Hey! Commander, what are you talking about? ”

"No, it doesn't exist."

"That's it, the head of the regiment is polite to be Mozi."

Everyone was a little embarrassed, and quickly raised their hands to salute in return, but the words of the head of the regiment filled everyone's hearts with warmth. Everyone knows that the brothers in the tree fort did not die in vain, and their blood was not shed in vain!

"Where's the bean cake? Why didn't you see him? ”

Meng glanced around in annoyance but didn't find the honest little guy, and asked everyone suspiciously.

Mentioning this, everyone was heavy and did not speak, Liao Mingyu also guessed something, he frowned and asked Long Wenwen with his eyes, the latter shook his head slightly, everything is already self-evident.

Liao Mingyu sighed and slowly walked to Long Wenwen, looked at his ears wrapped in gauze, and said softly: "How is the injury?" ”

"Hey, hey... I was bitten by a stray bullet, nothing happened, fortunately I didn't hit my face, otherwise those mothers-in-law of Chanda would have disliked me. ”

Long Wenwen said with a smile and nonchalantly. This injury is nothing, surviving is more important than anything else, compared to those fallen soldiers, they are the luckiest.

"You kid, okay, you go down first, you should heal your wounds, you don't have to worry about resting." Liao Mingyu patted him on the shoulder and said with concern.

"I'm annoying, find a place with better feng shui on the Nantian Gate, and arrange all the brothers who died in battle. You go to the staff officer to count the number of casualties and equipment losses of each battalion, and sort out a report as soon as possible. ”

"Understand the captain!"

……

Night slowly fell, and the west bank of the Nu River, which had been fought for two days and one night, ushered in a long-lost tranquility, but the top brass of the Huaxia military was particularly lively at the moment.

The telegram message kept being transmitted, and the great victory of Nantianmen spread throughout western Yunnan, and even the supreme governor received the news that the Songshan area, which had been occupied by the Japanese army for nearly a year, had finally returned to the hands of China.

As a necessary place for the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the location of Nantianmen is very important, which also indicates the beginning of the expeditionary force's transition from defense to attack.

The commendation telegram from the top was sent to Liao Mingyu and Yu Xiaoqing, and the alert and snobbish Commander Zhong also reported to the head at the first time, as if he was afraid that the credit would be snatched away.

For these Liao Mingyu can't care and doesn't want to care, those people are like this, he can't fight for the first place in the war, anyway, this battle is basically led by himself, and it can't run away from the merits it should have, I believe that Director Dai will also give the supreme commander the clearest battle report.

I don't necessarily have to take these credits, but only with merit can we be rewarded, and only with rewards can the troops grow, and there are still many Japanese troops entrenched in western Yunnan and Burma, and only by further expanding the troops can we better cope with the battles that follow.

"Regiment commander, this is my statistics of the Japanese army intelligence in western Yunnan, please take a look."

Yu Sifan of the communication group of the Sichuan Army specially brought a piece of information and handed it to Liao Mingyu.

The content of the intelligence is as follows: At present, the Japanese army west of the Nu River occupies two areas, namely the majority of the 56th Division in Tengchong City and the 114th Wing (Sato Wing) in Longling County, with a total strength of about 30,000.

Special attention should be paid to the fact that the 56th Division, known as the "King of Jungle Warfare", was the main force of the Japanese army, which was powerful and good at creating miracles, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Watanabe Masao, graduated from the Tokyo Army University and was known for his expertise in mountain and jungle warfare.

The division's entire battle series consisted of tanks, armored vehicles, artillery units, automobiles, motorcycles, and infantry wings, marching with speed and firepower. It was a unit from Kurume in northern Kyushu, and it was known for its fighting strength......

"Brother Fang, it seems that the enemy we are going to face next is stronger."

Liao Mingyu handed the information in his hand to Fang Jingyao and the others, and turned his head to look at the major of the Intelligence Bureau who had been somewhat forgotten by him.

"Sifan, you've been used to it in the Sichuan Army lately, right?"

"Back to the head of the regiment, everything is fine." Yu Sifan replied with a straight face.

Liao Mingyu smiled and didn't say much, he has always had a respectful attitude towards this Director Dai's subordinates. Although Yu Sifan also provided a lot of information for the Sichuan Army during this time, in the final analysis, he was still a little afraid of the energy of the Intelligence Bureau.

Fortunately, the former did not do anything unfavorable to the Sichuan Army, and Yu Sifan's intelligence ability was quite outstanding, which was also the reason why they had been allowed to stay in the Sichuan Army

"So, there is an infantry wing and a search wing in Longling County, which is closest to us?" Fang Jingyao put down the information in his hand and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the 114th Wing belongs to the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, which is one of the units to reinforce western Yunnan, and is now forming a new brigade with the search wing under the command of the 56th Division, which is stationed in Longling County and its surroundings." Yu Sifan preached unhurriedly.

"Hehe, the 18th Division, the elite of the Japanese army."

Liao Mingyu snorted coldly, he still remembered this executioner army vividly.

The 18th Division can be said to be the vanguard of the Japanese invasion of China, and once participated in the Nanjing Massacre, and was one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre!
