"You mean that the 53rd Division is less than 80 kilometers away from Lashio?"

"Well, this telegram was captured by Zhang Liu at the Devil's Command, fortunately, the Japanese didn't have time to destroy it, and even the code book is still there, I have already asked someone to translate it, the content is very clear, you can see it yourself."

After saying that, Meng was annoyed and handed over the telegram.

Long Wenwen took it and looked at it carefully, and the content on the paper made him frown involuntarily.

At present, the 53rd Division has crossed the Lailong Mountain and is marching towards Lashio at a rapid pace, and their vanguard has reached Mon Ya, which is only more than 70 kilometers away from Lashio.

Moreover, the 53rd Division also said in the telegram that the garrison brigade must hold Lashio, and it only takes one day for them to make a detour through Meng Yang and outflank the enemy from the flank.

"The place names here in Myanmar are more and more twisting mouths, but these little devils still want to go around the back, and they don't inquire about the name of our first regiment."

If you want to numb your chin and smile confidently at the corners of your mouth, what's there to be afraid of? Since Nantianmen, they have been singing all the way, and they have really not been afraid of anyone in the jungle war.

It's just that Long Wenwen was a little absent-minded, he originally thought that his side was almost a few days, but he didn't think that the little devils were also rushing to death non-stop, and there was only one day left for them to be stationed.

"Let the troops count the weapons and ammunition, the logistics team is estimated to not be able to survive these days, Ah Yi and they are still stuck on the way, we have to live carefully."

Long Wen blinked, revealing the biggest problem they were currently experiencing.

In order to be able to penetrate behind enemy lines as quickly as possible, the entire force did not carry much weapons and equipment, and each person only took the normal base amount of ammunition.

Especially the loser of Milong, his battalion consumes the largest ammunition in the whole regiment every time, which is really worry-free.

Originally, it was thought that the 200th Division and the Engineer Regiment could keep up with the rhythm and at least keep the march for no more than a day, so that they could also support the supply as a sharp knife as soon as possible, so that they would not be so passive in the face of the Japanese counterattack.

But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and they still underestimated the difficulty of the mechanized troops marching through the jungle, and they also did not expect the Japanese to be so fast.

In addition, the road from Wan Town to Lashio is not very smooth, there are still many Japanese strongholds in the middle of the defense line, and the large army has to beware of the sneak attack of the little devils in the process, how can it be like a group of pieces, unscrupulously through the forest.

Although the firepower of the American equipment was fierce, it was too logistical, and after two battles, a ball of ammunition was almost exhausted, with an average of less than 30 rounds of ammunition in each soldier's hand.

"The consumption is indeed very large, and the three battalions have begun to borrow ammunition everywhere."

Meng was annoyed and shook his head a little helplessly, frowned and sighed: "Alas... Our legs are about to break, but I didn't expect the Japanese to be much slower, so what to do next? Otherwise, retreat into the woods to attack and disturb the war? ”

"The living are still suffocated by urine? There is also a lot of food and Japanese-style weapons in the railway station warehouse, so I can't take them out and make do with them! ”

Long Wenwen thought about it and quickly ordered, Lashio, who had finally been defeated, did not intend to withdraw just like that.

In this case, it is also the next strategy to go into the mountains and fight guerrilla warfare with the other side, and there is not much time and lack of supplies, and you have to go to the forest and jungle to live a hard life, so that the Lashio you have just won has become useless, isn't that a fool's behavior?

As long as the Japanese are a turtle shell and stubbornly defend Lashio, they will definitely not be able to stand it for a long time, and besides, there is a division behind them, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be.

The two hills of Lashio are actually quite suitable for defense, but the little devils didn't take advantage of them, and the dragon article, who has an extremely keen sense of smell on the battlefield, has discovered the mystery.

"I heard that Zhang Liu captured the commander of this garrison brigade?" Long Wen suddenly remembered this stubble.

"Well, I was beaten half to death by him, and now I'm locked up in the barracks, what? Do you have an idea? Meng replied in annoyance.

"Hehe, that's interesting, I'll interrogate him later, maybe it will help us defend in the future."

Meng was annoyed and shocked: "Have you decided to defend Lashio to the death?" ”

"Yes!"

"You have to think about it, if the support behind us can't arrive in time, we will be alone, no different from the 56th Division in Tengchong, and then the little devil will be blocked back... Isn't that just a shut-in-the-door dog... No, did you catch a turtle in the urn? Meng was very worried, and hurriedly asked.

The situation is so grim that a few simple words can affect the fate of more than 2,000 people, and he can't afford to have the slightest luck at this moment.

"How do you speak? What are you closing the door to catch turtles in the dog urn, and your mouth is starting to scoop again? ......Shh If you want to say that we fight dogs, when will it be the turn of those Oriental dogs to bark blindly, huh? ”

Long Wenwen glared at Meng angrily, and the tone of his words showed his firm attitude.

"But we do ......"

Meng was annoyed and wanted to argue, but before he finished speaking, the yin and yang voice suddenly sounded: "Battalion Commander Deng, I want to ask if this group is surnamed Long... Or is the surname Meng having the final say? ”

"Huh?" Next to him, he was still hooking shoulders with Ma to look at the lively non-spicy line, and subconsciously said: "Well, of course, you have the final say." ”

"Did you hear that, Deputy Head Meng?"

As soon as he heard this, Meng was annoyed and knew what this grandson would talk about later, and he was so angry that he didn't say much.

Seeing that he didn't contradict him anymore, Long Wenwen put away his smile, and his face gradually became serious: "Listen to me, it's not spicy, you can take a battalion to the south of the mountain to set up defenses, dig the position a little deeper, especially the anti-artillery pit, the devil's infantry artillery is not easy to fool." ”

"Meng Laoer, you can take people to the northern mountain pass, try to get closer to them who are not spicy, and leave me a company of troops, which I will be of great use. And the deflated calf of the lost dragon? Let him wait for me at the station! ”

As soon as the order was issued, all the ministries began to act. In just one day, it was not easy to build a position before the arrival of the Japanese army.

"Your uncle! Who's the dick..."

", don't bother Lao Tzu!"

Long Wenwen impatiently dismissed Meng Fu, but no one paid attention to his palm, which was slightly white.

To say that he was not completely sure of this battle, in the final analysis he was still gambling, betting that the follow-up troops would be able to reach Lashio before they collapsed, and that the vanguard of the Japanese would not be accompanied by heavy artillery.

The troops rushed for nearly 200 kilometers, and Lashio, which was finally defeated, was really unwilling to give up like this.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and opportunities are fleeting, and if the main force of the 53rd Division rushes back to Lashio and other places, then all their actions will be in vain.

Long Wenwen is not sure that he can use a regiment to shake the opponent's division, even if he adds 200 divisions and an engineer regiment whose combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed, there may even be a risk of being cut off by the opponent.

Therefore, Lashio must be defended, as long as the follow-up troops come, it can be built into a strong fortress, and then the Japanese will not want to go beyond it.

Long Wenwen has the courage to swim against the current, and also has the luck of leaking the boat to carry wine, and now he is also confident under Liao Mingyu's "favor" and "indulgence", and he is no longer as unlucky as the original time and space, so this time he will definitely earn him a refreshing time!

……

Northern Myanmar at the end of October was destined to spend every day under artillery fire, and the Burma-India border, which had been silent for more than a year, finally returned.

The counteroffensive of the Indian army began with the main attack of the New 1st Army of the Chinese Army Garrison in India, under the command of the new 38th Division under the command of Sun Liren and the new 22nd Division commanded by Liao Yaoxiang, with a total strength of nearly 35,000 troops.

It was also accompanied by one of the British 36th Division and the 77th Brigade, as well as one of the 10th Air Force of the United States.

In the early morning of the 24th, the 112th Regiment of the New 38th Division, as the vanguard force, began to attack and advance, and immediately entered the Hukang River Valley after occupying the new Pingyang Airport, and opened positions on the front line of Lajiasu, Yubang, and Lingan.

After the Japanese Northern Burma Front discovered that the Chinese army had entered Burma, it immediately adjusted its deployment, and Iida Shojiro ordered most of the 33rd Division to defend Myitkyina, and reinforced the front line with the main force of the 31st Division, and engaged the army stationed in India in the Hukang River valley area.

The Hukang Valley, which means "the devil's dwelling" in Burmese, consists of the Daro Basin and the New Pingyang Basin, a low-lying area adjacent to the Savage Mountains and a gateway to Myanmar from India.

In this area, there are four great rivers in Dalong, Tanai, Dawan, Daluo and countless streams crisscrossing it, rushing and roaring, and the current speed is very rapid.

……

"Report to the Wing Commander, it seems that we have lost contact with Takamori Shaoza..."

"Nani?" Saito's face changed, and the soldier's report made him feel a little uneasy.

Gao Sen's character is very clear to him, he is a very cautious and very well-behaved person, and it is impossible to be rash because of personal emotions.

It stands to reason that he should have sent someone to contact the wing headquarters half an hour ago, but now not only has there been no news, but he has also lost contact, which is definitely not a normal incident.

"Probe along the search path of the Gaosen squadron, and find them no matter what." Saito commanded as if he could, originally planning to directly put on a posture and crush the past, but because of this matter, he was at a loss.

At the same time, at the edge of the jungle not far from them, Long Wen and the three Falcon members wrapped in auspicious suits were moving, and they were twenty meters apart from each other, slowly approaching the Japanese army without being detected.

Several people moved very lightly, especially after appearing in the enemy's field of vision, and every meter of distance was spent more than ten minutes, and they approached little by little.

Suddenly, the dragon who crawled at the front stopped moving, and he quickly buried himself on the ground motionless, this is already the limit of what he can get close, and there is a risk of being found if he goes any further.

"Dog's day, there are actually Leng Duo armored vehicles, I'm afraid this group of little Japan is not simple......" Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"Shhhh

Eight wheeled armored vehicles, ten dump motorcycles and five military trucks, as well as a large number of horses and mountain artillery, it seems that this Japanese army is not ordinary.

In order to be able to quickly penetrate behind enemy lines, a regiment did not bring any heavy weapons at all, except for 60 and 81 mortars, not even those M2 heavy machine guns, and weapons such as 37 anti-aircraft guns were placed in the rear.

The only ones who could damage it were the small number of bazookas in the troops, but now that the ammunition was running out, the three battalions together couldn't make up a few rockets.

However, although this group of Japanese had a lot of armored fighting vehicles, the number was not much, and it looked like there were about 500 people at best, and if you planned well, it would not be impossible to fight.

"Go back and let the third battalion of the dragon quietly touch over, form a fire intersection line with our position diagonally, and stab the waist of these devils from the side, do you hear clearly?" Long Wenwen tried his best to lower his voice and instructed him.

"What's the Ann? Those turtle sons have armored vehicles, you have to think about it. ”

Yao Ma looked at him unexpectedly, not understanding why he didn't defend well and took the initiative instead.

"Bashan monkey, you know what a fart! Is it to attack halfway before they launch the troops, the station is such a big open field, let the little devils chase over, we still have to play? ”

Long Wenwen hated iron and scolded in a low voice, how can there be so many conformists in war, and offense is the best defense.

Just as he was dispatching his troops, there was a change on the side of the Japanese army.

"What? Ambushed by the Huaxia people!? ”

Saito couldn't believe his ears, a well-armed squadron of nearly 200 people was wiped out like this? And the process before and after was less than two hours, and I didn't receive any warning on my side.

"Hey...... We found them in the jungle two kilometers away, and all the 186 soldiers of the Gao Sen squadron were shattered, and the leader of the Gao Sen squadron ...... I was also beheaded by the enemy..."

The captain lowered his head and made a difficult debriefing.

"How many Chinese are there at the train station? How are their defenses? Saito's face was not good, and he quickly asked the key question.

"It's... The Huaxia people set up a lot of secret posts on the periphery, and the search team couldn't get close to the station..."The captain broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly lied to explain.

After finding the remains of Gao Sen's squadron, they did not continue at all, the main reason was that they were afraid that the Huaxia would set up an ambush halfway, and in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the captain quickly ordered to retreat.

But it was obvious that Saito didn't eat this, and when he jumped up, he slapped him in the face: "Bastard! Is that why you're holding back!? ”

"Hey...... Simi Marsein, captain of Saito United! The official level crushed people to death, and the captain who was slapped could only bow his head and admit his mistake, not daring to have the slightest temper.

After finishing the fire, Saito realized something strange, since the Huaxia people could easily annihilate a squadron, it means that the opponent's combat strength may only be a lot more, which also makes him hesitate to fight next.

"Send a report to the division commander, report the situation, and ask if the 128th Wing has arrived at the predetermined position."

"Yes!"

Saito, who was apprehensive, gave up his intention to attack immediately, and prepared to communicate with the division headquarters first, preferably to attack the enemy with friendly forces.

The 53rd Division is also a post-established division regiment with a three-unit system, under the jurisdiction of the 119th, 128th, and 151st infantry wings, as well as the assault search wing, the field artillery wing, the engineer wing and other units, and the equipment configuration is very sophisticated, even compared with the 18th division, it is not far behind, and even surpasses the latter in terms of heavy firepower.

In addition to Saito's search wing, most of the 128th Wing had now arrived around Lashio, and they were rushing in from the other direction, aiming directly at the Twin Peaks where Meng was stationed.

The breeze gently blows on his cheeks, and the troops, Wing Commander Yoshinosuke Kikuchi is riding on the Oriental horse in high spirits,
