Chapter 182: Turning Point

The attack on Longling is in full swing, with the advantage of troops, and can obtain a steady stream of supplies and reinforcements from the east bank through the Nantianmen Highway, Longling is already in the palm of its hand, and in the face of such a thing in the palm of its hand, it actually stopped attacking.

Chen Yu couldn't figure it out, not only Chen Yu, but everyone present couldn't figure it out.

If the main force attacked Longling regardless of casualties, under the siege of tens of thousands of people, the two or three thousand Japanese troops in Longling would not be able to stop it at all. But why did they stop attacking Longling, could it be that the chiefs started to fight again?

Suddenly, Dead Dead stood up and said, "It's not a retreat, it's an attack!" ”

"Huh?" Ah Yi looked at Dead in surprise.

"Longling is already bound to win, we are going to continue to fight forward, gather superior forces to eat the second division of the Japanese army, so that we can go back and slowly eat Longling without any worries."

Dead Dead pulled up his sleeves and said: "The military seat and the deputy military seat are all generals with great achievements, it is impossible to stop conquering Longling at will, and we should not be short-sighted, take a long-term view." Instead of caring about the gains and losses of one place and one city, why not defeat the main reinforcement force of the Japanese army and have a happy victory! ”

Ah Yi stammered: "You mean, the military department has long planned to take Longling to fish, and then eat the main reinforcements of the Japanese army?" ”

"Of course! Otherwise, why was even the famous 200 divisions transferred to the forefront? ”

"." Annoyed and depressed, he said, "The ghost only believes." ”

"I believe it!"

Chen Yu turned to Master Mai and said, "Send a report to the military headquarters, our regiment can be ready to act as the vanguard at any time, and when the reinforcements arrive, we will cooperate with the two hundred divisions to launch an attack from the flank and hold back the Japanese army." I believe that the military seat and Deputy Chen Junzuo are not Yu Xiaoqing.

Wheat! Send a report to the military headquarters that there is going to be an attack? ”

Master Mai was slightly stunned, turned around and returned to the table to ring the transmitter.

Chen Yu looked around at the people in the room: "Don't be stunned, the Japanese artillery bombardment has stopped, the infantry should charge, standing here one by one waiting for the dragons on the position to be leaderless?" ”

Artillery fire roared, bullets rained, and gunsmoke and dust covered the entire highlands.

A bomber formation flew from the direction of Longling in the sky, not so much a formation as a reinforcement of four bombers and two escort fighters.

Chen Yu looked at the sky in a daze, and his guess was right, the commander's headquarters temporarily gave up attacking Longling, perhaps because he thought that the Japanese army in Longling City was no longer enough to pose a threat, so he chose to expand the results of the battle.

What is the result of the battle, the reinforced Second Division and the 49th Division are the results of the battle.

Master Mai learned from the radio that Tengchong had been recaptured at three o'clock in the morning last night, and the left-wing expeditionary force began to assemble towards the right-wing army in Longling. The counteroffensive that had been fantasized about for a long time seemed to be realized, Tengchong had been regained, and the troops stationed in India continued to attack after a short rest.

The whole of western Yunnan and northern Myanmar is on the counteroffensive, counteroffensive!

More than 100,000 troops will gather together and march towards Burma, and a major counteroffensive will begin.

Chen Yu watched the bombers in the sky drop bombs on the Japanese troops in the distance, and the fighters dived down to attack the ground, and the Japanese attack was difficult to maintain, and they were gradually defeated in the bombers' indiscriminate bombardment.

"Counterattack! Counterattack! ”

Ah Yi ran out of the forward command headquarters with a piece of paper, cheered and shouted from the position: "The military headquarters order, the Sichuan Corps will serve as the advance independent regiment and launch a counterattack against the Japanese army after the arrival of follow-up reinforcements!" ”

Bullets passed by Ah Yi, and the dust from the shells flew around him, and this young man, who was always full of hope for the future of the country, was like a divine protector until he stepped into the air and fell into the trench.

His eyelids were already wet with mist, and Chen Yu knew what the root cause of this victory was. The fundamental reason is that the Nantianmen Highway has been opened, and domestic supplies can be continuously transported to the front line, which is the reason why the Western Yunnan Campaign can be so powerful.

Ah Yi got up and shouted at Chen Yu: "Counterattack, the military headquarters ordered the Sichuan Army to serve as the advance independent regiment, cooperate with the 200th division to contain the main force of the Japanese 2nd Division, and wait for the 200th division to attack, and the two divisions should march into one place with a pincer offensive!" ”

"When will reinforcements arrive?"

"Right now!"

Chen Yu snatched the telegram in Ah Yi's hand and checked it again and again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that what he said was true.

The Sichuan Corps just picked up the merits of the friendly brothers, and the powerful attack of the Japanese army in the early stage was blocked, and the attack was tired.

Ah Yi even held several telegrams in his hand, one was a telegram from the 200 divisions of the flank defense line, and explicitly ordered the Sichuan Army to contain the main force of the enemy's second division and let them break through from the flank. One letter was from the military headquarters of the 71st Army, asking the Sichuan Army to take the lead in attacking after the reinforcements arrived.

As for the reinforcements, Chen Yu looked up at the Allied planes hovering overhead, it might be reinforcements.

Picking up Ah Yi, who had broken his feet, Chen Yu quickly ran into the forward headquarters.

Dead, dead, already dressed in weapons and equipment, looked ready to give the order to attack at any moment.

"Counterattack!" Dead, dead, shouted in front of Chen Yu: "We want to counterattack and fight back!" Hit Ringanqiang, hit Yangon, drive the Japanese into the sea to feed the fish! ”

"Hey you dead man's head."

Chen Yu put down the Ah Yi behind him and began to study the map: "The three battalions of the reserve team pulled up, the first battalion, the third battalion, the combat convoy, the mortar company, the battle defense artillery company, the heavy gun company, the guard company, and the search company attacked!"

The 1st Battalion Zhang Lixin and the convoy broke into the belly of the Japanese army along the road as the vanguard, and the 2nd Battalion was the flank and launched an attack on the Japanese from the left side, where the forward soldiers of the 200 divisions were united. The third battalion kept up with the first battalion's attack, and it was necessary to knock down the Japanese artillery position first, and not let the Japanese artillery block the road. ”

When the Sichuan Army was preparing for the counterattack, Master Mai hurriedly sent a telegram that Longling City had been breached, and the expeditionary force was fighting with the remnants of the Japanese army in street battles.

It was not without a target, but it was really to break through Longling, so the commander's headquarters made a deceptive act and transported part of the main force to the forward position of the Longmang Highway overnight.

In front of the high ground, the Japanese attacking forces were retreating, not in the orderly alternating cover of the retreat as before, but in the rout of the bombing and strafing of aircraft. Seeing the Japanese retreat, the defenders on the high ground gradually stopped shooting.

The heralds, along with the heralds, were sent out to inform the soldiers on the positions.

Yu Zhi's tank was dispatched, and he once again gained the power to move forward. Zhang Lixian's battalion was left with only soldiers who were dismantling heavy weapons, and the light infantry had already taken up arms to charge, and the follow-up personnel were chasing with ammunition and heavy weapons. Nu La led the 2nd Battalion to move and advance from the left flank plain to the direction of the 200th Division, pinning down the retreat of the Japanese army.

The order to attack came suddenly, but slowly, so slow that the people of the Sichuan Army had already simulated drills in countless sleepless nights.

The distant horizon flickered with the fire of bomb explosions and the ballistics of fighter guns, and Yu Zhi's convoy caught up with the tail of the retreating Japanese army, opened the full throttle and rushed forward, the turret turning and firing at a 92 heavy plane that was shooting at him.

The infantry followed closely behind the tanks and advanced forward, shooting the Japanese infantry who tried to blow up the tanks with explosives packs and cluster grenades.

Several kilometers away, the Japanese army bombarded the high ground with group artillery fire, trying to stop the pursuit of the Sichuan Corps, and when they found the trajectory launched by the artillery, the bombers flew straight into the distance, and the fighters clamored to climb.
