My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 292 A Worrying Situation

"Ding... The main character was detected: Zhang Milong, Yuan Shikong was wanted by Mr. Chen because he shot and killed an air defense officer who fled in battle. Long Wenwen asked for help everywhere but to no avail, and finally shot him with his own hands.

Now it has successfully changed its fate due to host reasons, degree of completion: excellent.

Get 5000 points as bonus points, which belong to 62239 points.

Unlock the American-made M1 40mm anti-aircraft gun, which is imitated and improved based on the Swedish Bofors 40 anti-aircraft gun. It has the characteristics of simple structure, compact, reliable mechanical action, low failure rate, and quick transition between marching state and combat state.

The gun has a total weight of 2.6 tons. In combat mode, 6 people need to deploy the base to operate it. The maximum range is 4700 meters.

It can shoot straight and straight. It uses 20 rounds of magazines for ammunition. The actual rate of fire is 60 rounds per minute. It can be installed on half-track armored vehicles. The exchange price is 350. The report is over. "

After solving the Milong matter, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in Liao Mingyu's mind.

Bofors 40 anti-aircraft gun, this is a good anti-aircraft weapon, which can just add bricks to the weak air defense force of the troops.

To be honest, this Japanese air strike also caused a great shock to Liao Mingyu. Now the third division is developing well in all aspects, but it lacks effective anti-aircraft weapons. The whole division only has a battalion of anti-aircraft guns, Li Jie.

It is said to be an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, but they all use anti-aircraft machine guns transformed from M2 heavy machine guns. There are no large-caliber anti-aircraft guns at all.

If the Third Division was attacked by the Japanese army on a large scale, they would be unable to fight back at all. It would be difficult to form an air defense firepower network with 12.7 caliber machine guns alone.

This incident also made Liao Mingyu realize that before he had his own air force, the air defense force must be done well. The consequences of losing air supremacy need not be said, let alone relying on the Americans.

"Exchange for 16 Bofors anti-aircraft guns for me."

Liao Mingyu decided to set up the air defense battalion first. With these 16 40mm anti-aircraft guns and a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, it is completely enough to deal with the little devil's air strikes.

The key is that the anti-aircraft gun can also shoot flat, so the thin-skinned Type 97 that hit the little devil can't be accurate with one shot?This is much faster than the 37 anti-aircraft guns, and it can be installed on armored vehicles. The Japanese will cry to death when they see it?

"Ding... the exchange was successful, a total of 5600 points were spent, and the remaining points are 56639."

Come on, with this anti-aircraft gun, that boy Li Jie would probably wake up with a smile if he fell asleep. Liao Mingyu smiled and got in the car and prepared to go home. He still had to wait for Zhang Liu to bring him good news.

……

The Japanese bombing caused great losses to the expeditionary force.

The 6th Army and the 8th Army, which bore the brunt, were killed and injured more than 6000 people, and more than 50 trucks and countless military supplies were destroyed. This directly caused the two troops to lose their ability to continue fighting, and also seriously affected the original determined battle plan.

Wei Lihuang was extremely furious, and severely reprimanded Song Xilian, Huang Jie, and the acting commander of the 8th Army, Li Mi. responsibility.

But it's useless to blame things that have already happened. The Japanese have mental calculations and carelessness, coupled with the laxity of the two troops, it is understandable that there will be such a result.

It’s just that the full-scale general attack originally scheduled to be launched on August 8 was greatly affected, because the task of the 28th Army was to cooperate with the 8st Army to take Gaoligong Mountain, while the 71th Army should bypass Gaoligong Mountain and go west along the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Advance, attack Tengchong from south to north from Longling.

However, the withdrawal of these two troops made the offensive end very passive. First of all, Yu Xiaoqing’s 71st Army was the only one left to attack Gaoligong Mountain. Secondly, there was a lack of a siege force in the south of Tengchong. The original three-sided siege plan had serious loopholes. .

The defenders of Tengchong will even threaten the northern part of Longling. It is very likely that when Liao Mingyu and the others face the attack of the 18th Division, they will attack from both sides and break the blockade of the expeditionary army.

Wei Lihuang became furious, and regardless of the generals' dissuasion, he directly set up the headquarters in Zenda, and personally dispatched the frontline troops. In order to ensure the safety of the commander-in-chief, Liao Mingyu and the others were crazy busy.

The Yankees are also aware of the seriousness of this incident. Strictly speaking, they are also partly responsible for the Japanese air strike. Who made this group of people swear that the Japanese in the sky in western Yunnan can't make the decision, but this time they were ruthless. Slap in the face.

For this reason, Chennault also ordered the 14th Air Force Brigade of the U.S. Army to retaliate, retaliate in the same way, and also carried out an air strike on Tengchong.

It's just that the cunning little Japan could not have expected this. Under the tight defense, the Yankees not only did not take advantage, but lost a lot of air power.

The Americans, who were disgraced again, quit, looking for trouble with Little Japan every day as if they were going crazy.

During this period of time, the fighter planes of the two sides fought recklessly in the sky, and each other suffered losses. Every day, one or two downed planes smashed to the ground dragging black smoke.

Wei Lihuang didn't object to this point, let these Yankees to toss, anyway, it can cause some losses to the little devil, so why not do it?
On the other hand, he also had to readjust the battle plan. The 20th Army that attacked Tengchong in the north remained unchanged, while the task of attacking Gaoligong Mountain was left to the 2nd Army that would not reach western Yunnan until the end of the month.

However, Yu Xiaoqing's 71st Army was assigned to the northern part of Longling. Their task was not to attack, but to block the northern part of Longling and prevent Tengchong from attacking Longling from both sides in the south. Secondly, they also had to provide support for the Honorary Third Division at any time.

The 20th Army is the main force to attack Tengchong, and almost all of their 11th Army has become auxiliary. However, the offensive plan on the 28th can only be postponed until September 9th, not only to wait for the arrival of the 5nd Army, but also to provide new supplies. Allocation also takes time.

For such a change, Liao Mingyu was somewhat uncertain. The steepness of Gaoligong Mountain was even worse than that of Nantianmen. Going down Gaoligong Mountain is not easy either.

而虞啸卿的71军…虽然说他这个军名义上拥有36师、87师、88师和虞师四大部队，但虞啸卿真正能控制的只有虞师和87、88这两个被钟彬嚯嚯得不满编的部队，战斗力最强的36师一直被宋希濂捏在手里。

It's not that I look down on anyone, the combat effectiveness of some troops is indeed... worrying, let them help behind the scenes, to be honest, Liao Mingyu really can let go of that heart...

However, there is a piece of news in the past two days that makes people a little confused, that is, Director Chen of the Political Training Department of the 11th Group Army suddenly disappeared.

According to the report, at noon on the 21st, that is, the day the Japanese bombed Zenda, Director Chen hurried over for some reason, but he did not show up at Zenda. and disappeared without a trace.

The investigation bureau immediately began to thoroughly investigate the matter, but after a few days of investigation, the investigators in charge of the matter received a stop order from Shangfeng, and the reason was not explained. This has to make people fantasize...

With Shangfeng's instructions, the investigators concluded the case hastily and concluded that Director Chen and his party were probably bombed by Japanese fighter planes, or attacked by bandits in western Yunnan along the way, and their bodies were destroyed. There are many kings.

Director Chen's cronies naturally refused to give up on this conclusion of deceiving children. They suspected that someone did it deliberately.

And the Commander-in-Chief of Wei has one head and two big heads at this time, damn it, how can he come here even before the war has time to help them find someone?After blasting them away with a few words, I didn't care about it anymore.

What everyone doesn't know is that there are a few charred corpses buried under an unknown mountain depression, and the culprit who did all this is swaggering in and out of the headquarters by Liao Mingyu's side every day...
