All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 361, war is a transaction
The Sichuan Army has more than 2000 people and takes the initiative to attack a main division of the Japanese army with more than 20,000 people.

Dai Jianlan didn't think it was impossible.

The side-by-side battle with the Sichuan Army left a deep impression on him.

Those soldiers were very common in the original army, the kind that can be seen everywhere, filling trenches and charging, and I don't know how many people will die after a battle.

Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one year old,

Wild fire, in spring.

Using the inexhaustible weeds to describe those soldiers seems demeaning, but it is true.

The general loves soldiers like sons, and he wears a hat for himself. In the eyes of senior officers, soldiers are just a set of numbers, how many have died, and how many need to be replenished.

No one cares about whose husbands and sons those fresh faces are.

Of course, generals treat soldiers like numbers.

Soldiers don't take generals seriously either. Being a soldier is nothing more than carrying guns and eating food. They can fight well, but they cannot escape.

Rarely are fools desperate to the last moment.

Why?
They have no reason!
But these soldiers seemed to have been completely reborn when they arrived in the Sichuan Army Corps. They were full of passion, and they fought fiercely without fear of death.

The tenacious guard at the gold mine airport, Dai Jianlan listened a lot.

After running for hundreds of kilometers, they rushed to Bamo and immediately joined the battle without stopping.

The coordinated tactics of rocket launchers and infantry tanks are good.

Although it can be seen that the training time is still short and the performance is not particularly satisfactory, but the effect is very obvious, taking away two infantry brigades of the Japanese army in one wave.

Hearing the battle report about the Battle of Mandalay, assuming there is no bragging, the strength of the Sichuan Army has increased greatly.

The strength of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army was restrained by them from the front, and the Sichuan Army sent people to attack from behind. It should be said that there is a certain possibility of success.

Dai Jianlan analyzed his opinion and explained to Commander Luo:
"Chen Hao, the head of the Sichuan Army, is actually not an officer of our army. He just played such a banner. There should be other people behind them."

These words were an explanation for Chen Hao's offense and rudeness, and also gave Luo Zhuying a step down.

After all, being ordered by a subordinate, what is Luo Zhuying's face if it gets out?

In this way, the notification of the friendly army will cooperate to fight, no matter whether they agree or not, everyone will have a good face.

Dai Yulan tended to cooperate with the Sichuan Army, but because of his friendship with the Sichuan Army, Luo Zhuying knew it.

His persuasion might have the opposite effect, so he had to keep silent.

Du Luming was shocked when he heard Dai Jianlan's analysis of the strength of the Sichuan Army just now.

After several years of fighting with the Japanese army, the comparison of the strength of the Central Army and the Japanese army has come to a conclusion.

If you fight a defensive war, you need three times as many troops as the attacking Japanese army to fight.

To attack the positions of the Japanese army, five times as many troops are needed.

The fighting strength of the ordinary Central Army is like this. The elites like the [-]th Division can match the Japanese army one to two in defense, and can only match one to one in offense.

Du Luming felt that it was too exaggerated to say that the Sichuan Army could beat the Japanese army ten times a fight, at least it should be a [-]% discount.

Attack one against five.

The combat effectiveness is five times that of the [-]th Division.

It is 25 times that of the ordinary central army...

He couldn't help but want to ask: Is there such a big gap between the army and the army?

Or is it that different from person to person?
Dai Jianlan pointed out that the Chuan Army was an ally, not a subordinate, and Du Luming had already forgiven the arrogance of the wording of the telegram.

The arrogance of strength is understandable.

Yankees and Brits are dragged to the sky, so they have to endure it.

Noticing that Luo Zhuying's face was still gloomy, Du Luming said with a stern face: "What do they have to do to make allies cooperate with empty words?
Lao Mei dispatched our expeditionary force, and even gave money and ammunition, are they stronger than Lao Mei? "

His two questions cleverly named Luo Zhuying.

A gleam flashed in Luo Zhuying's eyes, thinking of the previous arms purchase, he may not agree to the proposal with the other party.

This is exactly an opportunity!

Luo Zhuying immediately said righteously: "Since we are fighting with our allies,

It costs a lot of money to eat horse chews and bullets, all of which are military expenses of our country. How can we help them for nothing?

The money is not needed, the weapons of their Sichuan Army are good, and the military expenses for sending troops can be deducted with weapons.

Telegraph them back immediately. "

The other party notified them to send troops, with an arrogant and rude attitude.

Then they would call back the other party to bring the "money". With a good posture, Luo Zhuying thought that he would not lose face.

The conversation collapsed because the other party was unreasonable first.

If the negotiation is successful, you can also get benefits, killing two birds with one stone.

Du Luming guessed Luo Zhuying's thoughts very well, on the surface he agreed with the commander-in-chief's wise decision-making, and then found an excuse to send his cronies to catch up with the major to spread the message.

"It's still the same. If you want them to send troops to cooperate, you need to bring arms, but the tone of the telegram should not be too strong."

This is where Du Luming knows how to be a human being, he pleases both ends and does not offend both ends.

But Du Luming knew how to be a man, not from the very beginning.

It can even be said that Du Luming was not good at being a man at the beginning, his emotional intelligence was very low, and his life was quite unsatisfactory.

After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, his first job was to be a platoon leader.

Du Luming worked very seriously, but he was too strict, so he was very unpopular, and the platoon leader didn't work much afterward.

Next he went to the propaganda team, and at first he didn't even speak to the crowd very much.

Later, Du Luming was sent to the north to help the National Second Army run the Kaifeng Military Academy. The military academy was closed, so he ran back to his hometown.

A big local landlord recruited soldiers and horses, and he did some errands there, and then joined the team of Gao Guizi in Shaanxi, where he spent some time as a company commander in the capital.

At that time, Du Luming used to eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble, drink and go shopping in brothels, and when he was ruthless, he could gamble away the entire company's military salary.

That's not to mention that Du Luming happened to hand in a batch of guns from the defeated army when the capital encountered the Nankou War.

Guns and ammunition are hard currencies, and there are many people who are willing to buy them. It is an ocean of white flowers.

Gao Guizi didn't want to offend anyone because of this little gun, so he asked him to return the gun he had confiscated.Du Luming resolutely quit, and was so angry that he dismissed him directly.

Du Luming, who was dismissed again, had no choice but to go to Wuhan to find the Northern Expeditionary Army, found Zhang Zhizhong and gave him the position of company commander.

As a result, Wu Khan was fighting against Nanjin at that time.

When shouting slogans to vote, all the clever ones raised their hands, but he and a few others did not raise their hands without knowing each other under the watchful eyes of everyone.

In the end, they were all put in confinement, almost killed, and had to escape again.

At this time, the Whampoa first-year students are doing well, and there are many people, like Du Luming, who are very unsuccessful.

However, it is not a bad thing to encounter setbacks early as a teenager.

Du Luming stumbled one after another at the beginning, with many setbacks, and the more mature he became, the more he cherished opportunities.

No matter how you treat people or do things, you will become more and more mature.

When he was the head of Xu Tingyao's division, he had nothing to do with Xu.

But by working hard and being cautious, Xu Tingyao introduced him as a confidant, and slowly embarked on a relatively smooth upward path.

A person's maturity, after all, comes out step by step.

After sending the telegram, everyone moved to the combat command room of the [-]th Division. Regardless of whether the Sichuan Army agreed or not, their northward movement undoubtedly broke the current confrontation.

At present, the expeditionary force and the Japanese army are confronting each other with the Nu River as the boundary.

When it comes to the Nujiang River, one has to mention the Huitong Bridge, which is one of the important bridges on the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

The Yunnan-Myanmar Highway, known as the blood vessel of the Anti-Japanese War, passed through Longling County when it was built. The important reason is that there is a Huitong Bridge on the Nu River in Longling County.

It can shorten the mileage to Lashio, save time and reduce the amount of engineering.

After the Yunnan-Burma Highway was completed, Huitong Bridge became the throat bridge on the Yunnan-Burma Highway and was bombed by Japanese planes many times.

The expeditionary force was defeated and retreated. The 55th Division led by armored vehicles, and more than a hundred vehicles carrying troops formed a fast column and advanced along the Yunnan-Burma Highway to the west of Yunnan.
Captured Wanding and Mangshi on the 3rd, occupied Longling on the 4th, and reached the west bank of Huitong Bridge on the 5th.

The lightning operations of the Japanese divisions caused great panic in Chongqing.

If the Japanese army crosses the Nujiang River from the Huitong Bridge, they can enter Kunming in ten days, and it is difficult for the government to resist forcefully.

After occupying Kunming, Xichang can be taken via Xiaguan, and Chengdu is just around the corner, but Chongqing is hard to protect.

After the Japanese army captured Myitkyina, an important town in northern Myanmar and cut off the Burma Road, the United States began the Hump route through the Himalayas.

The anti-war supplies were transported from India to Wujiaba and other airports in Kunming, and then transported from Kunming to Sichuan and other places.

If the Japanese army controls the east bank of the Nujiang River and occupies Kunming, then the strategic materials aided by the United States will no longer be able to reach China.

Therefore, keeping the name of Kunming means keeping the only main artery of the hump route.

The loss of Kunming's reputation means that all international supply lines are cut off.

The production capacity of arms, materials and ammunition under the control of the government is a drop in the bucket. Once the inventory is exhausted, Huaxia will fall due to the complete loss of foreign aid.

The next move of the Japanese army may be to advance the "southward policy" and move troops to India.

After occupying India, advance westward and join the German army in the Middle East.

Because after occupying Yangon, the Japanese army declared that it would join forces with the German army in the Middle East, and at this time the German army Rommel's army had already invaded Egypt from Libya.

In this way, the situation of the entire World War II is very likely to be different from the situation recorded in the existing history books.

Therefore, we must stop the enemy on the west bank of Huitong Bridge at all costs.

This is a battle that changed history.

However, when the enemy is strong and we are weak, blowing up the Huitong Bridge has become the best choice to stop the enemy on the west bank of the Nu River.

"We should have known earlier that such a character would suddenly emerge and contain most of the [-]th Japanese Army. It would be a better choice to defend the Huitong Bridge. Now we think it will not be so easy to counterattack!"

Luo Zhuoying stood in front of the map and observed carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At that time, the 36th Division had already rushed to the east bank of the Nujiang River, and there were still a steady stream of troops to follow.

A bridge checks and balances the offensive and defensive scales of both sides, and there is still hope for only facing a fifth division.

Dai Jianlan was still on the way to retreat at that time, so how he guarded the Huitong Bridge had nothing to do with him.

But as long as he looked at the map, he had to admit that it was indeed difficult for the Japanese army to set foot on the east bank of the Nu River after blowing up the bridge, and it was not so easy for them to fight back to the west bank of the Nu River.

The river was turbulent, and the Japanese army built defensive fortifications on the west bank, and the counterattack troops would be stripped of their skins when they landed on the beach.

Yunnan is mountainous and the roads are steep. The defensive side only needs to rely on the terrain to become a tough bone, and the attacking troops will have to bleed profusely.

The difficulty of supply transportation across the Nu River was doubled, and the Japanese planes only needed to attack a little, and they had to be skinned.

After three factors, although the Japanese army on the West Bank only had more than 20,000 people, it was enough to easily stop the attack of a [-] army.

Normally speaking, the counterattack is probably far away.

The facts were just as Dai Yonglan judged, when the Japanese army was setting sun in [-], the expeditionary force launched the battle of forcibly crossing the Nujiang River.

A total of more than 20,000 people were invested, with 4000 casualties, of which [-] people died, and the number of sacrifices exceeded the number of wounded.

Killed 1250 enemies, the ratio of casualties between enemy and friend is 1:6
The subsequent counterattack against Tengchong was more bloody and the number of casualties was even greater. It was still based on the fact that the expeditionary force obtained a large number of American weapons and equipment.

While the firepower has been greatly enhanced, there is also the cooperation of the US Air Force, which has an absolute advantage.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to help much this time." Dai Jianlan said with her brows furrowed.

Du Luming said indifferently: "We pretended to launch a counterattack and restrained part of the Japanese army from moving, which can be regarded as fulfilling our promise.

If they are willing to give more, we can also contact the Americans to send planes to bomb them all at once. "

In Du Luming's view, this is a business deal, getting arms and paying labor.

Nobody owes anyone.

Luo Zhuoying quite agrees: "It's about how much they are willing to pay, and we will do as much. This battle was initiated by them on their own initiative. Their appetite is too big and they end up supporting themselves to death. That can't be blamed on others."

Dai Jianlan, who has been favored, has a good impression of the Sichuan Army.

He regards driving away the Japanese invaders as his lifelong ambition, and he is willing to help no matter who beats the Japanese.

For the words of the two superiors, Dai Jianlan did not agree with them.

Taking the opportunity to withdraw in the middle, Dai Jianlan sent his cronies to send a report to the Sichuan Army.

Not only did he truthfully inform the actual situation that he was unable to provide much help, but he also persuaded Chen Hao to think twice before acting.

But Chen Hao, who had a whole set of plans, would not listen to his persuasion.

Another telegram was sent to agree to donate a batch of weapons and ammunition in exchange for the expeditionary force on the east bank of the Nujiang River to contain the Japanese army.

As for American air force reinforcements, there is no need for it.

After receiving the telegram, Dai Jianlan sent another telegram after thinking for a long time, informing the 55th Division of all the information and deployment of troops in the Tengchong area.

It was the only way he could help.

At the same time, Luo Zhuoying took the lead in fulfilling the transaction after learning that the weapons would be transported by American transport planes and the Americans would guarantee the transaction.

The 36th Division, deployed on the east bank of the Nujiang River, collected ferry boats and made a posture of crossing the river and returning to attack.

With this bluff, it won the attention of the Japanese army on the West Bank, and stepped up the mobilization of troops to defend.

Although the Japanese army did not think that the expeditionary force, which had just been hit hard, still had the ability to organize a counterattack and regain Tengchong.

Just when Dai Jianlan, who was paying close attention to the development, thought that the actions of the 36th Division were meaningful, the news from Mandalay almost broke his defense.

The Sichuan Legion not only sent troops to the north with great fanfare, but also held a press conference to invite journalists from various countries to interview with the army.

They were afraid that the Japanese army would not know about it!
Where is this sung again?
