All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

The distance between Mandalay and Ruili by transport truck is less than [-] kilometers.

It is still [-] kilometers from Ruili to Tengchong.

The German army stipulated in the war manual that under road conditions, the forward speed of the armored division is 32 kilometers per hour.

That doesn't sound like much, but it's pretty fast.

No matter how fast it is, the tank and armored vehicle will not be able to bear it, and it will be damaged a lot before reaching the battlefield.

In order to ensure combat effectiveness, an upper limit is set on the speed of tanks.

The top speed of the tank was artificially set by the engineer when it was manufactured.

Even so, the German generals were very curly when they became crazy.

In 7, when Rommel led the [-]th Armored Division of the German Army to attack France, in order to achieve the goal of winning quickly, he emphasized the speed of attack.

He led his troops in a swift assault, away from the supporting infantry regiments, at the risk of exposing their flanks and rear.

During the assault advance, he encountered an unexpected French armored division.

Immediately, Rommel ordered all the tanks to rush forward at full power, not to fight, and scattered in multiple ways to defeat the French army.

In pursuit of attack speed, his 220th Armored Division went straight to Lyon along the Seine River, without sleeping for a week, swept the right flank of the French army at a speed of [-] kilometers per day, and arrived at the English Channel first.

Nearly twenty times faster than the Führer requested.

During the six-week battle, nearly 100,000 people were captured by the British and French allied forces. Rommel's Seventh Division only paid the price of more than 2000 casualties and the loss of 42 tanks.

The German Seventh Armored Division led by Rommel was dubbed the "Devil's Division".

According to the information collected by Hiroshi Takeuchi, the tanks of the Sichuan Army are better and faster than the Germans.

The German army can advance [-] kilometers a day, and the Sichuan Army will not be lower than this figure.

If their commanders are running at full speed, they may not be able to achieve a speed of [-] kilometers per day.

In other words, the engineering unit stationed in Ruili only had two days to prepare for the battle.

Once the enemy occupies Ruili, they can fight outside Tengchong within a day.

A strong sense of crisis swept over, and Hiroshi Takeuchi immediately started to deploy defenses, and stepped up to urge the necessary supplies to come by air.

After the arrangement, his eyes finally fell on the map.

This ambush was arranged in the south of Ruili City, to give the enemy a head-on blow.

Or is it to show the enemy's weakness, put it between Ruili and Tengchong, and take advantage of the enemy's carelessness to make a ruthless move?
Both have suitable terrain, which made him a little undecided.

Or do some field research before making a decision.

Just do it.

Several staff officers and guards were summoned, and the convoy quickly drove out of Tengchong City and headed south.

……

The Northern Expedition troops of the Sichuan Army, regarded as the enemy by the Japanese army, did not run on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, but drove into a dense forest and stopped.

The soldiers who were kept in the dark got out of the car and were ordered to camp and rest.

The soldiers were puzzled, didn't they agree to go north?
A cadre found the third battalion commander, who was lazily leaning on the chariot and smoking a cigarette, and asked, "Battlemaster, what happened, why don't we leave?"

"I don't know, the order given by Deputy Head Long." Bu La was equally at a loss, and he still felt baffled.

It took only two hours to drive over a hundred kilometers, and I hadn't passed the Gold Mine Airport yet.

Suddenly he received an order to stop the whole army, and no one could understand it.

The cadres stared wide-eyed, thinking in their hearts that the regiment held the Northern Expedition ceremony more than two hours ago, and ordered the Northern Expedition to go out to kill the little devils.

Now stop, this hexagram is getting too fast.

Did the order given by Deputy Head Long, who was appointed as the commander of the Northern Expedition, violate the purpose of the group?
A bold idea appeared in everyone's mind:

"Perhaps deputy head Long lied and disobeyed!"

As soon as the idea comes out, the heart is like grass growing, and many thoughts can't help but come out.

What if Long Wenwen's disobedience is confirmed?
Although deputy head Long usually treats people kindly and has no airs, he is very popular among soldiers.

But he is going to break up with Tuan Zuo, and he absolutely cannot stand by his side.

After all, everyone's food, military pay, and weapons and equipment are provided by the group seat.

It's nothing without a group seat, a lost dog.

Suddenly someone asked in a low voice: "Has the order been reported to the regiment headquarters? What did the regiment commander say?"

His distrust of Deputy Head Long was clearly expressed in his words, everyone could hear it, but no one pointed it out, and their eyes looked unsightly.

"You bastard, you're all foolish."

Bula pinched the cigarette and said very annoyedly: "I asked earlier, it was the order of the group leader, and I was reprimanded, let us listen to the order of deputy head Long honestly."

It turned out that it was not the arbitrariness of the deputy head of agriculture, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But I was even more puzzled, what happened to make Tuan Zuo change the order?
The fourth battalion commander and the fifth battalion commander sent inquiries one after another, but no one could understand the situation, and there was only an order to wait on the spot.

A poem can describe their depression at this time:

Confused about the fruit on the tree, under the tree, you and me.

Sitting in rows under the dazed tree, one per dazed fruit.

There are you and me in Mubi, it turns out that Mubi is not the only one.

Long Wenwen in the command vehicle can also hear all the channels of the whole regiment through the communicator, and listened to the discussions of several battalion-level cadres under his command.

His own prestige is not as good as that of the group seat, he had already expected it.

Our big group seat is not just as simple as the whole group formed by one hand, but also grasps the lifeline of the whole group's material supply.

Who can disobey him, who dares disobey him?
Even if Long Wenwen is capitalized, what's more, this skill of repairing the plank road and secretly hiding Chen Cang not only deceived the opponent, but also kept him in the dark.

Long Wenwen changed his posture and lay down. If he was depressed, who was depressed?

At first, he really thought that he would lead three synthetic battalions, attack the city along the Burma Road, and fight to Tengchong to kill the Fifth Division.

Long Wenwen didn't sleep well for several days, and studied the battle plan with several staff members of the regiment headquarters.

Surprise is hard to do, but the speed can be as fast as possible, not leaving too much time for the enemy to prepare.

Three sets of offensive plans have been prepared, and they set off confidently.

He was ordered to stop halfway.

What about playing?
How about the Hoho people!

As the deputy head, he should have the minimum right to know, right? !

But what the team leader said, "I told you in advance that I am afraid that you will not be able to perform this play well, and you will not be able to fool those devils and spies, so I can only wrong you."

What else is there to say about Long Wenwen, what is the group seat talking about.

The good Northern Expedition turned into an armed parade. It was a pity that he made several plans overnight.

It's just that after learning about Tuan Zuo's real attack plan, Long Wenwen had to admit that it was more subtle.

"The great fanfare of the Northern Expedition swearing-in, Little Japan has to be fooled and limped."

Long Wenwen felt sorry for the Japanese army, not to mention that the opponent had weapons that were 20 years ahead of the times, and even played tricks.

Who can stand it!

At the same time, on the Ayeyarwady River, two Type [-] frigates sailed ahead to clear the way, followed by mighty river transport ships and landing craft.

The entire convoy was heading north at a speed of 25 knots.

That is 45 kilometers per hour.

The speed of the fleet is much lower than the speed of the trucks on the road.

The key is that the boat can keep going without rest, which can shorten the traveling time by half.

There is another question, do you go north along the river?
That's nothing to worry about.

A tributary of the Irrawaddy River is called the Ruili River.

It originates from the watershed on the west side of Gaoligong Mountain in Tengchong County, passes through Moli Canyon, and enters Ruili Dam.

It flows into the Nanwan River near Zhabangwang on Nong Island, passes through mountains and valleys, flows through the central and eastern part of Myanmar, flows into the Ayeyarwady River, and finally flows into the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean.

From Ayeyarwady, go in the opposite direction, and you can reach Ruili County, BS City, and Tengchong County.

Several key towns controlled by the Japanese army are all on the edge of the waterway.

Such ingenuity is not uncommon. After all, cities are built near water, which has the advantage of easy access to water. You can also do trade along waterways, which is much faster than traveling on land.

"Deputy Captain Li, I've asked the captain. It's three hours before we arrive in Ruili. Let's go back to the cabin and rest for a while."

Milong asked respectfully.

The deputy head Li standing at the bow of the ship in front of him came by airborne, and his identity is extremely mysterious.

But one thing is certain, they have a very good relationship with Chen Tuanzuo, the two of them drank a lot of wine when they met, and chatted in the room all night.

The next day they called a few of them, and the group seat appointed him as the deputy head in person.

He also declared that the order of deputy head Li was his order, and asked everyone to obey the order and follow it truthfully without any discount.

It is not easy to see Tuanzao being so serious.

Afterwards, the first battalion and the second battalion boarded the ship and headed north. It was only when Mi Long boarded the ship that they realized that they were the ones who actually carried out the mission of the Northern Expedition.

The Northern Expedition ceremony held two days later by the [-]th Battalion was purely for outsiders to see.

From the mouth of deputy head Li, they learned that this is called Mingxiu plank road, dark Chencang, a strategy of 36 tactics.

It can be seen from this that the group seat still trusts the deputy head Li more.

Some cadres were dissatisfied, why did deputy head Li ride on them as soon as he came?

After Milong found out, he immediately taught them a lesson, but he didn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

Having fought more battles and met more people, Milong can feel that this Deputy Commander Li smells very bloody, and it is impossible to have it without ten or eight years of military experience.

Carefully observe the calluses on the hands, it can be seen that they have been shot for too long.

If someone really wants to make a foolish provocation, they must be dealt with badly.

Suddenly Deputy Commander Li shouted: "[-]st Battalion Commander!"

"arrive."

Milong, who had regained his senses, immediately responded loudly, waiting for instructions.

Li Yunlong looked back at him, it was not the familiar Zhang Dabiao, but the subordinate of his old friend Chen Hao.

"Order the reconnaissance platoon in front to speed up. One hour before the login, survey the login location and report the enemy's situation."

"Yes, this subordinate will contact them now."

Milong returned to the cabin to contact the frigate sailing at the front to convey the order.

Soon the frigate at the front turned on its full horsepower and accelerated towards Ruili.

Li Yunlong stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river. After going north to Shanxi for the War of Resistance, he had rarely seen the scenery of the river.

Even if he watched it for two days, he still couldn't get tired of it.

In particular, there is still a big battle waiting for him. Commanding hundreds of tanks to attack the Japanese army of a division is very new to Li Yunlong.

In Xinyi Regiment, he has not personally commanded a major battle for a long time.

The Japanese army in Shanxi was terrified and huddled in the city, and the Eighth Route Army was preparing for war to expand its strength, and there was no big battle to fight for a while.

And even if there is a big war, can there be hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles for him to command?

Dream it!
Not to mention that the Eighth Route Army doesn't have so many tanks and armored vehicles, even if it did, it wouldn't be Li Yunlong's turn.

That is the configuration of two tank regiments.

He has a new regiment with two tank regiments, and the brigade commander can't match two tank brigades!

The Type [-] infantry chariot is not bad, Li Yunlong is still thinking about the promise he made last time, to build an infantry chariot regiment's equipment, and his new regiment can also be divided into a battalion, and make an infantry chariot battalion for fun.

Chen Hao is worthy of being an old brother, he is so interesting, he will give him a lot of money as soon as he comes.

Commanding this battle, not to mention serving as a deputy regiment commander temporarily, even as a battalion commander.

Li Yunlong was very satisfied. He was born for war, and he was full of blood when he had the opportunity to fight.

As for the honorary position or something, he doesn't care much.

"Report, Tuanzao wants to talk to you." Milong, who had gone back and forth, handed over the communicator.

When Li Yunlong picked it up, he heard Chen Hao from the other side say: "Lao Li, I heard that you are going to Ruili soon, so I have to remind you.

The news of the Northern Expedition swearing-in has already spread, and Little Japan must know by now, maybe he is making preparations.

The Japanese army heightened their vigilance, and if the sneak attack was unsuccessful, they could directly attack by force.

Don't save rockets and shells for me, and beat him up hard.We are very rich now, so I’ll make up for you when we’ve exhausted them. "

Chen Hao understood the situation of the Eighth Route Army very well, especially since he had limited transport capacity at the time, rockets and shells consumed one less.

Even if Chen Hao opened a small stove to favor him, Li Yunlong could not use his hands and feet freely.

Fearing that he still has the habit of saving, Chen Hao specially greeted him in advance to let our old Li use it with ease.

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Li Yunlong smiled like a lotus flower. He was the consultant Chen he was familiar with.

"Don't worry about that, I know you have money, and no one can save it for you."

Li Yunlong still didn't take Chen Hao's position as regiment leader seriously, and kept the same tone as before, saying whatever he had.

In the past, Chen Hao described rockets as washing the ground as hundreds or thousands of rounds per dozen.

After one wave after another, the enemy was buried directly with rockets.

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's heart was itching, and he had long wanted to do that.

Even if Chen Hao didn't say it, he still wanted to find a chance to try it this time. After all, there is no such shop in this village, and he won't be able to get it when he returns to Xinyituan.

After Chen Hao said this, Li Yunlong decided to do it with confidence and boldness, and enjoy it if someone else wants it.

Anyway, the communicator didn't have to pay for the call, so Chen Hao called and chatted for more than an hour, and the two chatted very happily.

As for the war, they all knew they had won it.

The Japanese army didn't know that they had succeeded when they went north by water.
