Chapter 346

Although the early offensive of the Indian army was blocked, Liao Mingyu was not worried about it, on the contrary, he was happy to witness the style of the legendary battle of the Hukang River Valley.

After all, after bringing together the preparations of Britain, the United States, and China in the past two years, the troops stationed in India have reached their peak in terms of weapons and equipment and overall combat strength.

This vanguard 112th regiment is the best proof, being besieged in the valley basin by five times the enemy but without fear, the little devil gnawed for a few days and was stunned at all, but was disturbed by the Yankees' fighters and was countercharged by the other side several times, and suffered a lot of losses.

In the past two days, Smith's supplies have also been sent to the front line one after another, just because of the huge amount of money, the transportation is somewhat inconvenient, but fortunately, Wei Lihuang promised him to surrender unconditionally and fully support the logistics supply of the third division, and the logistics system of the entire Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force is helping to run errands.

"My good dear, the God of Wealth has brought back so many things, good fellow......"

Looking at the truckload of weapons and ammunition, Kang Ya couldn't help but let out a sigh. The things I came here this time were relatively simple, but I was full of things that were in short supply at the front.

"Brother Kang, you take your brothers to unload this batch first, and when the statistics are ready, they will be pulled to the front line as soon as possible, and I will not stay long if I have to go back to Chanda."

As soon as the convoy of the transport group arrived in Wan Town, Zhao Gongming hurriedly found Kangya, and immediately rushed back to Chanda after the matter was explained clearly, because there were still a lot of supplies waiting for him to pull it.

Most of these supplies were transported from Dali and Kunming, and they were concentrated in Chanda and then transported back by Zhao Gongming.

"Feng San! What are you asking for? Tell someone to come and move it quickly. ”

"Oh! Yes, it's coming right away......"

Master Kang Da "shook the tiger's body", and his subordinates acted numbly when they saw this.

Now the third division has also preliminarily completed the conversion to mechanized transportation, in addition to Liao Mingyu's exchange vehicles from the system, Wei Lihuang also sent him a lot, plus the seizure from the Japanese, the whole division has nearly 1,000 motor vehicles and countless mules and horses.

A large number of vehicles need a large number of drivers and logistics auxiliaries, a group of old drivers led by Kang Ya are also training drivers at full horsepower, not seeking to be more refined as long as they can drive normally, after all, experience is slowly accumulated in practice.

At present, the entire transport regiment has more than 1,000 drivers, and the total number of people has exceeded the 4,000 mark, so the troops are a little bloated, and Liao Mingyu has no choice but to split them into two regiments.

The 1st Transport Regiment, led by Zhao Gongming, continued to be responsible for the logistics and supply transportation of the troops, and their task was to deliver things to the front line from the rear quartermaster hoards.

Kang Ya led 2,000 men to form the Second Transport Regiment, which was mainly responsible for the statistics and allocation of materials, as well as helping the infantry to quickly deliver to the battlefield.

In the past two days, the transport troops have been working overtime and shuttling non-stop on the Yunnan-Burma highway, sending countless pieces of equipment and ammunition to Wan Town and Nankan.

The soldiers of the replenishment regiment have been put in place, and the third and second regiments are also seizing the time to replenish the lost troops, and all aspects are orderly restoring the combat effectiveness of the troops, but behind this calm there is a murderous opportunity.

"It's been three days, why is the 200th Division still in Gukai? Didn't the tank maintenance team I sent over work at all? ”

In the forward command headquarters of Wan Town, Liao Mingyu slapped a telegram on the table heavily, and stared at the operational staff officers of the division headquarters with cold eyes.

……

"Send a report to the Gaoji people, leave a regiment to take care of the armored troops, let the trucks carry the other infantry first, and the engineer regiment must follow as soon as possible, and be sure to rush to Lashio within two days!"

Liao Mingyu gave the order categorically, and it took two days to ...... It is already the maximum limit, if you count today, Long Wen They have to hold on to Lashio for three days and three nights, or without backup, when there is a shortage of ammunition.

If you look at the strategic map, you can see that Liao Mingyu's location is very special, the Indian army and the Japanese army in Myitkyina are in the north of the map, and Lashio is northeast of Mandalay, an important town in the middle of Burma.

The 3rd Division, on the other hand, was in the middle of the two divisions, splitting the Japanese in northern Burma in two like a quick knife, and at the same time geographically blocking the retreat of the Japanese army in Myitkyina to the southeast.

So this is also the reason why the Allies want Liao Mingyu to attack north, intending to form a pincer offensive against the Japanese army, and from the overall point of view, no one can have such an excellent attack position like him.

However, the battlefield situation is not absolute, if the Indian army cannot open the situation in a short period of time, and Lashio in the south is recaptured by the Japanese, then it is very likely that Liao Mingyu himself will be attacked from both sides.

So...... Whoever wins Lashio will now have the upper hand, and this has become a decisive place.

Thinking of this, Liao Mingyu shook his head helplessly, and his two brows wrinkled together involuntarily: "By the way, contact the Chanda Command and the 14th Air Force of the U.S. Army, and ask them for air support." ”

"It's a senza!"

The battle situation in Lashio Liao Mingyu is also out of reach in Wan Town, this is the last thing he can do for Long Wen, I hope everything doesn't develop in the worst direction......

Time passed slowly, and the air was still filled with moisture, but a ray of sunlight had already dispersed through the mist and lazily sprinkled on the ground, and it was already the second day after the defeat of Lashio.

The birds and finches in the treetops chirped incessantly, as if witnessing the hard work of those below, and the soldiers, under the command of Dead and Dead, had dug two positions in succession, which were located on two hillsides to the southeast of the barracks, and were guarded by Meng Yi, Bu Lai, and Yao Ma with their respective troops.

In addition to the mortars that Long Wen brought to the railway station, Meng was annoyed and gathered the remaining artillery and placed them in the open space next to the barracks.

It's a tricky location, right behind two hillsides, so it's ready to support the front and hide from enemy fire.

The entire barracks were located at the corner behind the two hillsides, and it would be feasible to place the position there. Moreover, these two slopes are staggered with each other, and the mountains are not high but quite rounded, and they are affectionately named "Twin Peaks" by Meng.

"Don't be lazy, dig deeper trenches and anti-artillery pits, this is a life-saving thing, move those sleepers to me and strengthen the position!"

"Milong, who told you to put heavy firepower in the first and second lines? The grenadier of the devil is not smashed accurately enough? it back! ”

"Who... The mortar is hidden on the side of the warehouse, don't expose the fire first, and then bombard the fuck when it is critical. ”

Long Wenwen's unscrupulous shouting sounded in the train station, he was like a strict supervisor, not letting the people under him be a little sloppy.

There are a lot of fortified bunkers that have already been built here, and they can be put into use with a little repair, but they have picked up the ready-made ones of the little devils.

But the dragon still asked the soldiers to dig more trenches and ring fortifications, because this was about to become the place where the two sides fought the most.

The focus of Lashio is on this railway station and the railway that continues to extend to the south, and the enemy is definitely thinking about how to control the station first when they come to fight, so the pressure here should be the greatest.

More than 600 heads of the three battalions of Milong were all arranged to defend here, and Long Wenwen also transferred a company of troops from each of the other two battalions to strengthen here, totaling nearly 1,000 people, which can be said to attach great importance to the station defense line.

"Phew! What the hell is this? Why is the canned food full of chop and vegetable leaves? ”
