My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 354
This heavy rain not only made the offensive and defensive sides extremely uncomfortable, but also affected all parties in northern Myanmar to varying degrees.

The first to bear the brunt was the first part of the 200th division and the engineering regiment that rushed to Lashio. They gave up their heavy equipment and only left some people to guard them. The remaining mobile troops all supported the first regiment as quickly as possible.

Although the equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, and mountain artillery were left in the Lebe Mountain area, there were still a large number of trucks and jeeps in the advancing team as a means of transportation for supplies, but the sudden heavy rain made the troops move very slowly.

Both Gao Jiren and Fang Jingyao were as anxious as ants in a hot pot, but the heavy rain made the road very muddy, not to mention the four wheels of the truck, even if people walked on it, their feet were deep and shallow, and they couldn't drive well.

"Brother Fang, what should I do if it's raining so hard, alas, his grandma really fucked up."

The Gaoji people looked up to the sky and sighed, and angrily punched the car door panel. Liao Mingyu only gave them three days, so they couldn't get there in a week.

Fang Jingyao was wearing a cowhide raincoat with a baotou. The rain pattered on the surface, and water droplets dripped from the hat on his head. His deep eyes were full of indescribable sadness and anxiety.

In addition to not being able to complete the task, Fang Jingyao was more worried about the regiment guarding Lashio. If they were short of supplies and did not receive support, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would stick there for three days or even longer. In the end, they might be surrounded and eaten by the Japanese. .

"Well, the two infantry regiments were blocked by the mud pit, the truck got stuck in it and couldn't get out, and his grandma blocked the road behind."

"There is a Japanese army team hanging behind us, Brother Fang...or find a way to destroy them?"

After coming from Leibie Mountain, there have been a small group of Japanese soldiers hovering around the team. They should be scouts who came to investigate the situation. They have already dealt with these little devils several times.

Gao Jiren looked at Fang Jingyao expectantly. He encountered all kinds of troubles along the way, and the latter basically solved them one by one.

With an upright personality, he has always admired capable people, even if this person's position is far lower than his own, he will not despise him in the slightest, so now he can't help asking Fang Jingyao when he encounters problems, and he has already regarded him as a military advisor generally.

Fang Jingyao didn't answer directly, but ordered the messenger: "Call Commander Lin to come over!"

"Yes!"

"Why, what do you call him?" Gao Ji looked at him suspiciously and asked uncertainly.

"Mr. Gao, we can't be stumbling by the difficulties in front of us. We have to find a way to solve it..." Fang Jingyao looked at the team struggling in the heavy rain and said worriedly.

As soon as Fang Jingyao was looking for him, Ah Yi didn't care about the heavy rain, stepped on the spray and hurried to the front of the former, saluted and respectfully said: "Fang Counselor, what do you want me for?"

Looking at Ah Yi who lowered his posture respectfully, the Gaoji people next to him looked curious.

It’s okay to be polite just because of Fang Jingyao’s status and ability, but in terms of position and military rank, Ah Yi, who is currently the head of the lieutenant colonel’s regiment, doesn’t have to be so respectful to Fang Jingyao, who is also the staff officer of the lieutenant colonel’s division.

But Ah Yi doesn’t think so. No one in the honorary three masters knows Fang’s talent, and in terms of status, he is basically the tallest person other than Canzuo and Long Wenwen. Besides, this is his own master. Can you be unruly?
"I want you to take the engineering regiment to attack immediately. Don't delay on the way and rush to Lashio. If you have any questions, you can talk about it now." Fang Jingyao didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated the purpose.

Let yourself lead the team out?This is the first time, can you do it yourself?What should I do if I meet a Japanese... Ah Yi was taken aback, and all sorts of crazy thoughts appeared in his heart.

"Lin Yi! Did you hear clearly!?" Fang Jingyao shouted again in a deep voice, looking at Ah Yi with flickering eyes.

"Yes! I heard you clearly, and I promise to complete the task!" A Yi hurriedly agreed in panic, and then asked as if thinking of something: "That...do you need to bring the supplies for them?"

"The situation is urgent. The team will rush to Lashio to support the regiment as quickly as possible except for the necessary equipment!"

At this moment, Fang Jingyao changed from his usual gentle and elegant appearance, like an iron-blooded general, he did not hesitate at all, and his sonorous voice hit the soul directly.

He is not qualified to directly command and mobilize the troops of the Gaoji people, and for the unfamiliar 200th division, he is more willing to believe in this team brought out by himself, and also believes that Ah Yi, who has been trying his best for a long time, can take up this responsibility.

"Either the 200th Division also sends a regiment to go to battle with Commander Lin in light clothes, so we should be more confident." Gaoji felt that he should also express himself.

"Thank you for your kindness, Commander Gao, but this time we are fighting for speed, and the large number of people is just the opposite. There should be no problem with the better coordination of the Third Division Engineer Corps. The rest of us have to ensure the safety of this batch of supplies. Otherwise, even if we gain a firm foothold in Lashio, we will not be able to hold on for a long time.”

Fang Jingyao politely rejected the Gaojiren. Although the 200th Division had two infantry regiments this time, their combat effectiveness was not flattering. The troops still used national-style equipment mainly of Chinese and Czech styles. It has no advantage in firepower.

He turned his head and looked at the young officer in front of him who could be regarded as his apprentice. The latter's face showed a trace of determination, which was completely different from the obedient look at the beginning.

"Do what you have to do and don't let me down."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Ah Yi did not stay long, and set off immediately with more than 3000 soldiers from the Engineering Corps.

Because the engineering regiment was established relatively late, and it is not a front-line combat force, so although the M1 Garand and M3 submachine guns have been replaced in terms of weapons and equipment, the support firepower of machine guns and mortars is comparable to that of the three main forces. Groups are far apart.

部队正常重火力配置是班里有一个MG3机枪小组，排里有一个火箭筒班，每个连有一个3门60mm迫击炮排，每个营有12挺M2重机枪连以及9门81mm中型迫击炮连。

But none of these engineering regiments had them. The heavy machine guns were cancelled, and the light machine guns were only available at the platoon level. The only thing was to add a blasting platoon in each company. The platoon had 6 bazookas and a large number of detonators TNT explosives, which were used to attack the enemy's bunker fortifications. demolition work.
