At the same time that Hitler announced the launch of Operation Barbarossa in June, the members of the Dragon Regiment stationed in Lashio, Burma, also completed the clean-up of the surrounding Japanese squads.

Since the last time the Japanese army's surprise attack and encirclement and suppression operation was counterattacked, it has been languishing and has begun to switch from offensive to defensive.

But they wanted to defend it, but Wu Xiaolong and the generals of the Dragon Traveling Regiment under him would not let these little devils get their way, and even God didn't seem to be ready to let them go.

From early June to mid-July, it rained almost every day in various parts of the country, and the ditches and canals that used to be used as transportation roads during the dry season were all flooded, and it was impossible to build bridges on foot, and even rafts made by sappers were washed away as soon as they were put into the water.

In addition, the primeval forest is very humid, locusts, mosquitoes and all kinds of strange little reptiles are everywhere, and the chance of tetanus after being bitten by grasshoppers is very high, malaria, relapsing fever, and other infectious diseases are also very prevalent.

The Japanese troops, who were hiding in the perimeter and taking a completely defensive position, were infected with diseases under the harsh and extreme conditions.

However, in the rainforest, a person with a high fever and fever, as long as he can't stand it and faints to the ground, will immediately be crawled all over his body by insects and ants, sucking blood by locusts, eroded by ants, washed by heavy rain, and in just a few hours, he will turn from a living person into a pair of white bones.

When the scouts of the Dragon Regiment finally discovered a hidden intelligence station of the Japanese army, they found that all the Japanese soldiers inside had died, and the bones were all over the place, and they were miserable, with high heat and humidity and insect bites, all of which had turned into broken half-white corpses.

"My mother-in-law...... It's scary......! Good luck, early death and early birth, don't be a little devil in the next life, be a cow or a horse, and be a pig and dog is better than a devil. ”

Looking at the tragic situation in the intelligence station, Li Dakui folded his hands and bowed in place.

"What are you worshipping stupidly? It's just a group of little devils, we are not afraid of the living, and we are not afraid of the dead. ”

Hou Bei, the deputy squad leader, walked behind Li Dakui and spat disdainfully at the pile of white bones.

At the same time, the squad leader Du Luoming said with a stern face: "Fortunately, fortunately, our Chamber of Commerce has prepared a sufficient amount of antibiotics and special drugs in advance, otherwise, after our dragon group began to have fever symptoms a while ago, it will become the same as these devils, only bones are left after being eaten by ants and locusts." ”

Zhu Dandan, who was a little timid, said with a bitter face: "This is too scary, you can't leave a whole corpse when you die...... Squad leader, I've searched it all, there is no valuable information here, it seems that these little devils are trapped here and sick to death. ”

Du Luoming nodded and said: "Okay, get out of here as soon as possible, these people are all carrying infectious diseases, monkeys, put on masks, don't be careless, fighting in this environment, non-war attrition accounts for the vast majority, don't underestimate the germs here." ”

The monkey stuck out his tongue and pulled the mask up to his chin, and the group quickly left the hellish scene and continued to investigate in a radial pattern.

After this period of training, the recruits of Duloming's small class have grown up at a very fast speed.

Although Li Dakui is sometimes presumptuous, and although Zhu Dandan occasionally vomits when he sees the corpse, the teacher Guo Yang, Yao Erbing and Yue Fei's descendant Yue Baoqu are already fully qualified for the work of veterans.

And the patrol range of the squad is also expanding day by day.

With the rainy season in Myanmar finally over, the dragon group has completely cleared the surrounding hidden dangers and began to gradually march north along the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

Mu Dezhu's second battalion and Niu Zhixin's third battalion formed a corner, one on the left and the other on the right, slowly marching towards the north, while the first battalion led by Wu Xiaolong was held in the rear, and the men and horses of the three battalions always maintained an equilateral triangular formation, as long as one side found the enemy, the other two sides could react as soon as possible.

"Commander, Commander! The scout team reported that they had captured a Japanese scout and found a battle plan and a map from him! ”

When Wu Xiaolong, who was sitting in the rear army, heard the news, he looked stunned and said, "Bring him to me immediately." ”

"Yes!"

After a while, a Japanese scout with a blue nose and swollen face, apparently being cared for by his men, was dragged up, his mouth and nose were covered with blood, and his eyes were a little loose, and he seemed to be not lightly injured.

Wu Xiaolong took the plan and map handed over by the soldier, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Due to Zhou Yu's relationship, the core members of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce are proficient in reading and writing Japanese.

At this moment, Wu Xiaolong quickly glanced at the battle plan found from the opponent's scouts, and learned that this Japanese army should be from the Japanese 56th Division, they were already stationed in the Tenglong area, and set up garrison corps in the six districts of Tengbei, Tengchong, Longling, Songshan, Mangshi, and Xinnong, and their division headquarters and directly subordinate troops were stationed in Mangshi, and the strength of the troops was about 15,000 to 20,000 according to intelligence.

Wu Xiaolong put away the information, looked at the map again, and asked, "Have you explained?" Where is he going to send this information? ”

"I have been tortured, and this little devil said that he was going to send it to the Japanese army base stationed in eastern Burma, so that they could launch a defense from the flank, or attack from both sides from the rear."

"The Japanese military base stationed on the eastern side of Burma? Hmph, it seems that they don't know yet, the base there has been wiped out by us, and the radio equipment of this group of Japanese troops is very likely to be destroyed by our people, without radio, they are like blind and deaf, unable to get in touch with friendly forces, this move information warfare we can take a big advantage. ”

Wu Xiaolong pondered for a while, and ordered: "Immediately ask our communications corps to send a telegram back simulating the Japanese army, saying that our department has received an invitation to assist in defense, and we will go all out to dispatch the whole army to annihilate all the enemy troops entrenched in Lashio and intending to move north along the Nu River." ”

"Yes, Captain."

The orderly was just about to leave when he was stopped by Wu Xiaolong, and also instructed: "Also, send a telegram to Wang Xian and his people, inviting him to come to me for a meeting, we will use this false telegram to lead the enemy to the open area near the Nu River, and fight him again in a battle of annihilation." ”

"Understood! Commander, I'll arrange it. ”

Due to the large number of troops led by Wang Xian and the large target, he could only act separately from Wu Xiaolong's Youlong regiment, so as not to be guessed by the enemy.

If the information on this intelligence is not wrong, they will face 15,000 to 20,000 Japanese troops, then this time they still have a slight advantage in terms of numbers, if you take into account the equipment and grasp of the information, Wu Xiaolong is confident that he can fight even more beautifully than the last Pew River Annihilation Battle.

Wang Xian, who has become the political commissar of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the interior of China, now has a total of 50,000 soldiers under his command, and this time he brought 20,000 soldiers to Burma.

Although the Longxing Chamber of Commerce has opened the Hump route, the port here on the Yunnan-Burma Highway still cannot be lost, after all, it is better to fight alone than to fight alone

After receiving Wu Xiaolong's telegram, Wang Xian immediately gathered his troops and called several of his regiment commanders to begin to study how to fight this battle of annihilation on the Nu River.

Due to Wang Lianhao's long-term operation and Wu Xiaolong's deliberate hunting, there was almost no trace of the Japanese army around the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and even the scouts rarely appeared.

Wang Xian and his men and horses barely fought any battles on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and the few times they encountered them were mostly enemy deserters or routs separated from the large army.

According to the accounts of these deserters and routs, their troops have been withdrawn from the South Asian divisions, either by water or by land to the north or east.

Wu Xiaolong's intercepted intelligence point was indeed stationed with a Japanese army, and he also dreamed of establishing a defensive line that could echo each other and fight a turnaround battle near the Nu River.

"Want to turn around? Hmph, how can it be so easy! The intelligence officers and radio equipment trained by Mr. Zhou can hang these little devils and lose the accuracy and safety of intelligence, they are like blind people at the mercy of others, then we will plan and match their wishes, but the place and time of the decisive battle must be determined by us! I sent a telegram back to the head of the Wu regiment, saying that I had received it, and immediately set off to join him, and do my best to cooperate with the Dragon Regiment to fight this war of annihilation, completely open the road to the south of the motherland, and eliminate all potential threats! ”
