Chapter 170 The Japanese Army in Longling Scared Away
When the Tongba war was in a stalemate, in order to achieve a comprehensive counterattack, the leaders of Ying and Mei held a meeting in Quebec, Canada. In order to strengthen coordinated operations, they decided to set up the Southeast Asian Allied Forces Headquarters, with Admiral Mountbatten as the commander-in-chief. National General Stilwell was the deputy commander.

Mountbatten proposed a counterattack plan, which was finally confirmed and affirmed by the allies.

The plan is to divide the troops into two groups, one is to launch a counterattack from the northwest corner of Burma by the Indian Army, and the other is to launch a counterattack from the Nu River by the Huaxia Expeditionary Force in western Yunnan.

The two armies cooperated with each other and advanced at the same time, one from north to south, and the other from west to east, gradually converging.

In order to cooperate with the war situation in the Huaxia battlefield and the maritime area, Stilwell formulated a special plan to counterattack northern Burma.

He is going to lead a road-building army to build a road spanning thousands of miles.

This road starts from the border town of Ledo in India, crosses the India-Myanmar border, and establishes a starting position and logistics supply base in Myitkyina.

Then, they crossed the Mountain of Crossers, and with powerful firepower and outflanking tactics, they broke through the Hukang River Valley and the Menggong River Valley, using Myitkyina as a support point, and finally connected to the Burma Highway in western Yunnan.

And while the road was being built, an oil pipeline was laid along one side of the road.

In this way, the Japanese army's fuel blockade of western Yunnan can be resolved.

Because the implementation of this plan requires crossing the vast savage mountains, the people in the country called this plan-"Mount Tarzan of the Apes".

In order to realize this plan, it is necessary to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. Therefore, starting from March 1943, cadre training groups and training schools were established in Kunming, Dali, and Ramgarh in India, respectively. Train in weapons, shooting, tactics, and more, and equip them with new equipment provided by the Allies.

With the advancement of the Road Construction Corps, the Japanese army felt heavy pressure.

In the Japanese Army Headquarters in Mandalay, Ren Mutaguchi also looked solemn, with a small mustache trembling slightly, and the several regiment leaders in front of him did not dare to take a breath.

"Bagaya Road!"

He slapped the table heavily.

I just received the news that the expeditionary force in western Yunnan has crossed Gaoligong Mountain and encircled the copper cymbals. Longling not far away is also in danger.

Moreover, the Zhuyin Army on the other road has already repaired the road to Myitkyina. How can this be tolerated?
He looked at the map on the table, lost in thought.If the expeditionary army in the west of Yunnan breaks through the copper cymbals and takes down Longling, it will continue to advance to Myitkyina and gradually merge with the troops stationed in India in the east.

In this way, Mandalay will be flanked by two sides. By then, the Japanese army's battle here will be completely defeated, and the entire empire's plan will be over.

No, he is not reconciled!

His Wuhao plan will definitely succeed!
At this time, a regimental captain standing behind him came forward, holding a few pages of planning in his hand.

Ren Mutaguchi also looked at the younger captain in front of him, feeling slightly surprised.

This person's identity and status are very special, and he is also a member of the Tachibana family, named Tachibana Qixiong.

The Tachibana family is very large, with many members, and has great prestige in the army, especially Tachibana Duxiu, who is also an admiral and the captain of a certain cruise ship.

Ren Mutaguchi also took over the plan and asked, "Tachibana-kun, what is this?"

Qixiong Tachibana didn't feel any nervousness or fear in front of his immediate superior, on the contrary, he unconsciously showed a rebellious aura: "This is a plan I made to crush the enemy's attack, the code name - Stinger !"

"Stinger?" Ren Mutaguchi was also very curious.

"Yes, this plan has been approved by the base camp, so I was transferred here to solve the mess here."

Ren Mutaguchi was also a little displeased, he is the highest commander here, now the base camp sent a brat, what does it mean to come up with a bullshit stinger plan?
However, facing the predicament, he didn't think of a way to break the situation, so he could only bear with it temporarily: "Let Captain Tachibana explain this stinger plan in detail for everyone!"

Tachibana Qixiong took the baton handed over by Renya Mutaguchi, pointed to the arrow on the map and said: "The enemy's army in the west of Yunnan is attacking like a broken bamboo. It is really difficult to defend from the front. My plan for the stinger is , to temporarily avoid the enemy's sharp edge, and send an alliance to sneak attack the enemy's rear. In this way, the enemy will inevitably be in chaos. At the same time, the general's Wuhao plan has been launched. It is bound to disintegrate quickly!"

Ren Mutianguchi also looked at this plan and had to admit that this plan was modeled on a replica of the 56th Division's attack on Lashio. If it succeeded, it would not only severely damage the spirit of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force, but also prevent the garrison from attacking Lashio. The joint counterattack of the Indian army.

He couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, the Tachibana family really has a lot of talents.

"Yaoxi! Tachibana-kun is indeed a genius! I agree with the implementation of this stinger plan."

He took a breath, and continued: "Now that Tongba is approaching the city, Mr. Lihua thinks that sending the regiment will be able to resist the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Army? According to the exact information, the enemy has four divisions, almost More than 4 troops!"

Qixiong Tachibana immediately said very arrogantly: "Soldiers are precious and fast. The Stinger plan was formulated by me. I have to go here. I am afraid that other alliances will not be able to do it."

Ren Mutaguchi also knew that Qixiong Tachibana's 404th Regiment not only had three infantry brigades, an artillery squadron, but also a tank company.

The total strength has reached more than 5000 people. Such equipment and configuration can be regarded as the ace wing in the Japanese army.

"Yaoxi! If Tachibana-kun takes the 404th regiment to go, I will be relieved! Go, wait until the advance troops stationed in India are defeated!"

"Hi!"

Qixiong Tachibana got the approved order and left quickly.

……

More than a month later.

The battle of Tongba gradually turned into a protracted and protracted battle. In addition, the Yu division had relatively heavy casualties, so the general headquarters slightly changed its strategy and sent a force to clear some small surrounding counties first.

The Yu Division and the 200th Division were ordered to send a regiment to attack Longling first.

Longling is much smaller than Tongcymbal, and it is similar to the larger towns now.

But the geographical location here is still very important. It is close to the Burma Highway, less than 75 kilometers away from Tongbo, and only [-] kilometers away from Songshan. It used to be the rear hospital of Songshan.

According to the detected information, only one brigade of Ono Shichijiro was stationed in the city, with about 200 people.

Yu Division dispatched a 13-member Sichuan Army Corps, and the 200th Division dispatched an advance regiment.

After Long Wenwen and Gao Fei received the order, they immediately led the troops in the direction of Longling.

In Longling at this time, Chijiro Ono was panicked.

Not all Japanese soldiers are not afraid of death, not all Japanese soldiers are willing to die for the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor.

So he rallied the troops.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Ono Shichijiro said loudly: "I don't need to say much about the current situation, you all know that the copper cymbals are surrounded by enemy troops, and the soldiers are approaching the city. It will not be long before the city will be broken. The enemy's Yunnan The Western Army is more than ten times stronger than ours, even if it relies on the city and can resist for a day or two, it will still be broken sooner or later..."

He deliberately paused, waiting for his subordinates to ask questions.

A small captain understood the meaning hidden in Captain Ono's words, and said, "Captain, tell me, whether to go or stay, we are willing to follow you!"

Shichijiro Ono looked at this clever team leader and said, "It's meaningless to stay when the army is overwhelmed! It's like Qixiong Tachibana who used to be on the Nantianmen, he took all his team in, and he was still defeated in the end." The enemy army has captured? You can't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place in a war, the most important thing is to preserve your strength!"

Ono Shichijiro kept using these words to cover up his cowardice and fear.

No one is willing to wait for death. After his instigation, [-] Japanese soldiers shouted: "We are all willing to leave with the captain!"

"Yangxi!"

Shichijiro Ono immediately issued an order: "The whole team immediately pack up their things, take away what can be taken away, and destroy what cannot be taken away. Tonight, we will retreat overnight!"

"Hi!"

All soldiers immediately began to make preparations for retreat.

On the second day after Ono Qijiro withdrew, the advance regiment and Sichuan army arrived at the gate of Longling.

At this time, Longling had already become an empty city.

"Reporting to the delegation, there is no Japanese garrison in Longling. When the spy battalion entered, the Japanese army had already retreated."

"What? The Japanese were scared away?"

After receiving the news, Yu Xiaoqing and Dai Anlan looked at each other.

This is the first time they have encountered such a situation.

Tang Ji didn't care whether Longling was let out by the little devil on his own initiative, he reported it as a military exploit, the headquarters was very happy, and immediately notified the two divisions of awards.
