Wearing dramas starts from Changjin Lake

Chapter 185
Just as he was thinking, Li Hong, the newly appointed division commander of the new 38th division, came over.

Li Hong, like Liao Yaoxiang, is also a Fu (Hu) Southerner. In 1925, he entered the fifth engineering department of Whampoa Military Academy to study.

Later, I met Sun Liren in the teaching group of the military academy, and since then I have followed the South and North Wars.

After the expansion of the Indian Army, Sun Liren became the commander of the army, and Li Hong took his place as the commander of the new 38th Division.

"Military seat, two of the brothers who were sent out to investigate came back. The Japanese army searched too strictly. They were not locals, and they couldn't even get in the city. The Japanese army felt a little suspicious, so they arrested them as soon as they said they wanted to. Three of them haven't come back yet."

Sun Liren had already expected this kind of result, and said: "Don't send any more people. The Japanese army knows that we are about to launch an attack, and will definitely prevent spies from entering the city."

Li Hong looked at Junzuo's worried face, and poured a cup of hot water for him: "Junzuo, I suddenly remembered something. Before attacking Nantianmen, I heard that Deputy Head Long of the advance regiment wanted to draw the structure of Nantianmen. Figure, once personally drilled the Nantianmen."

"Oh, really? Is there really such a thing? I thought it was just a rumor."

"It's absolutely true. At a reception, I heard Lieutenant Colonel Davis, General Stilwell's political adviser, say that it is true."

Sun Liren's eyes lit up, he had heard of the Nantianmen battle.

And there are multiple versions: one was shot down by the Sichuan Army, one was shot down by the Yu Division, and the other said it was shot down by the advance regiment of the 200th Division.

Some people also said that Long Wenwen once visited Nantianmen at night and almost killed the thrilling story of Zhunei Lianshan.

"What's the matter, after all?"

Li Hong explained the process of attacking Nantianmen in detail. This is not a secret, and many people knew it at the time.

Sun Liren couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In order to find out his accurate information, Long Wenwen went deep into the tiger's den. This person is not simple."

Li Hongdao: "Junzuo, he has similar experience, I think the investigation mission this time must be Deputy Head Long!"

Sun Liren nodded, and said: "Go and find both Commander Liu and Deputy Commander Long of the advance regiment. In addition, tell Master Pan to let him stand still for the time being. The Daying Empire has already complained to us that we fought too much. To the south, it is really a villain's heart to measure the gentleman's belly!"

"Yes."

Li Hong saluted and then went down.

West Fort is already very close to Mandalay, Lashio, and Namkan.

Pan Yukun knew that the task of the New 50th Division this time was not to attack Mandalay, but to cut off the reinforcements of the Japanese army from the south to Bhamo, so they stationed and defended in the West Fort area.

After Gao Fei received the telegram, he and Long Wenwen came to the new 38th Division's station in a jeep.

"report!"

Gao Fei shouted a report and walked into Sun Liren's headquarters.

Seeing them coming, Sun Liren immediately expressed his desire to investigate Bamo.

As for crossing the river and going to Bhamo for investigation, this kind of task was not done once or twice. Gao Fei and Long Wenwen looked at each other and felt that there was no problem, so they simply agreed.

As for the candidates for investigation, the number of people should not be too many, too many would be easily exposed.

It can't be too little. Since we are investigating, we must thoroughly understand the situation around Bhamo.

Therefore, the advance group decided to divide into four groups, ten people in each group, but such a thing cannot be done by the company backbones of the advance group, and the next generation of soldiers needs to grow up quickly.

Therefore, Gao Fei decided to be led by the experienced Long Wenwen.

In the first group, Long Wenwen was the captain, plus Ni Dan and other eight soldiers.

The second group was led by Meng Fanle, followed by eight soldiers, and Yang Danzi was in charge of liaison with this group.

The third group was led by Milong, and the liaison officer was McLuhan.

The fourth group is led by Sangmenxing, and the liaison officer is assisted by the whole people.

Yangdanzi, McLuhan and Quanmin Assistance, these liaison personnel all carried radios on their backs and were responsible for keeping in touch with Gao Fei.

Now that technology is constantly developing, they use the SCR-536 walkie-talkie.

This walkie-talkie weighs 2.3 kilograms, has a working band of 3.5-6 MHz, and a communication distance of about 4 kilometers.

Although the communication distance is short, it is enough for the reconnaissance team.

Gao Fei got a lot of such high-tech products through his connections, and his current regiment headquarters can directly contact the platoon.

As for the soldiers to follow, Gao Fei chose the seedlings who performed well in normal times to focus on training in the next step, and let these veterans lead them.

Gao Fei feels that Yangdanzi has almost grown up, and with a little training, he can stand alone, which is why he asked Long Wenwen to take Danzi with him.

After everything is ready, the four groups are ready to start action tomorrow.

Gao Fei had agreed with them in advance that they should try their best to covertly and put safety first. The team leaders of each team were in charge of the command responsibility. It was up to each team leader to decide when to leave, when to rest, or to investigate or hide.

The four groups first crossed the Taiping River together, and then acted separately, mainly to find out the deployment of troops, dark forts and hidden firepower points around Bhamo City.

Each group can contact at any time, and in case of an unexpected situation, they can even retreat in an emergency.

Each team leader decides the next action time by himself, and only needs to investigate according to the planned direction.

Early the next morning, Long Wenwen led his men and started heading towards the Taiping River.

Naturally, they would not cross the river swaggeringly under the noses of the Japanese army, but chose a place where there was no Japanese defense.

But speaking of it, there is only one simple road on the bank of the Taiping River.Usually, the traffic between Bhamo and Myitkyina mainly relies on this dilapidated road, but now this road has been completely destroyed by the Japanese army.

Long Wenwen led four teams along the road to the west first, then turned south, surveyed the terrain along the way, and the rivers passing by on the way, and marked them on the map.

Although the rainy season is over now, the water surface of many small streams is still wide and quite turbulent, which is a severe test for the soldiers crossing the river for the first time for reconnaissance.

There are rivers everywhere in northern Myanmar, and small lakes are dotted all over. Here, you often encounter situations that require armed swimming.

If Gao Fei hadn't forced all the soldiers to practice swimming, it would be difficult to swim across the current river.

Therefore, the current advance team can swim all of them, and ordinary rivers are in front of them, which is not a problem at all.

We passed a place on the way. There was an iron chain bridge on the Taiping River. Only a few iron cables were left bare, and the wooden boards on it had been removed by the Japanese army.

What surprised Long Wenwen was that the Japanese army did not blow up the iron chain.Only at the other end of the chain bridge, a heavy machine gun position was built to guard the bridge.

Nidan asked in a low voice, "Tuan Zuo, why did the Japanese army keep an iron chain bridge here?"

Long Wenwen thought for a moment and said, "Probably there are still devils on the Jiang side who have not withdrawn, leaving a way for their own people. Moreover, such a bridge can be blown up at any time, and it is easy to defend."

Mudan immediately marked the iron lock bridge on the map, and also attached the Japanese army's strength and weapons at the back of the map.

This is the requirement of Long Wenwen. Every key member of the battalion, company and platoon, even the squad leader and outstanding soldiers must learn Chinese characters and learn to use maps, observation mirrors and other military equipment.

Because they could not attract the attention of the Japanese guarding the bridge, they continued to walk along the woods beside the river bank.

The Taiping River is a relatively large tributary of the Irrawaddy River. The Japanese army had limited strength and it was impossible to send troops to guard every place. After walking along the riverside for half a day, Long Wenwen finally found a place where he could cross the river.

When they reached the river, they found that the river was not too wide, and the river was rushing like a wild horse, roaring and rushing downstream, and finally merged into the Ayeyarwady River.

Long Wenwen picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the river with a thud. The piece of wood was sucked underwater almost in the blink of an eye, and there was no trace of it anymore.

After everyone looked at it, their expressions all changed. If ordinary people go into the water, they will definitely be sucked into the bottom of the water.

Long Wenwen said: "Based on this situation, even if the rainy season is over and the rainwater from the streams collects, I am afraid that the water volume of the Taiping River will not decrease much in a short time!"

He turned around and wrapped the materials in the backpack that were afraid of getting wet with oilcloth: "Don't be dazed, prepare to cross the river. We will investigate again when we reach the other side and provide a detailed terrain situation."
