The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

After 20 "Super Fortress" bombers bombed the camp, the whole camp was in a mess. In the end, the Mustang fighter planes of two squadrons rushed down and shot a few times, and the entire army of more than 3000 little devils destruction.

While the Chinese Air Force was bombing Lashio Airport, the rest of the large number of Mustang fighters were divided into several teams, each of which consisted of two or three squadrons of Mustang fighters, dozens of aircraft, launched a large-scale attack on the Japanese troops stationed around Lashio. The Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the retaliatory bombing.

The aircraft at Lashio Airport were completely lost, and the air superiority was firmly controlled by the Chinese Air Force. The aircraft of the Chinese army could launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese army in Lashio safely, even in a very high-profile manner.

On the first day alone, the Japanese army in Lashio lost more than [-] people, and a large number of fortifications were destroyed. The Japanese army stationed in Lashio suffered a loss of [-] to [-] in the retaliatory bombing of the next day. Several division commanders of the Japanese army jumped their feet in anger, but they had nothing to do in the face of the powerful Chinese Air Force.

In order to ensure that Lashio is not lost, the Supreme Command of the Japanese Army in Southeast Asia has issued an order to increase troops to Lashio again, and two Japanese field divisions are rushing towards Lashio. [

The Chinese side has learned that the Japanese army has increased its troops, but the Chinese side has not adjusted the battle plan, because several large armies in the Chinese side have already entered the designated positions.

With the little devils busy with the bombing these two days, the 1st Army and the 2nd Army have entered the north of Lashio, less than 30 kilometers away from the central city of Lashio.The firefight with the little devil has already begun.

The 13th Army moved to the northwest of Lashio, and the 15th Army moved to the northeast of Lashio.The 13th Group Army and the 15th Group Army are only three to forty kilometers away from the central city of Lashio.

The Chinese army has a total of four group armies, more than 20 people, and is almost about to complete the three-sided encirclement of Lashio. The 28th Army will go straight from the east side of Lashio according to the plan, and will move to the south of Lashio to prevent Lashio. Xu's little devils broke out to the south.

At this time, the purpose of the Chinese army is obvious.It is to eat up the Japanese army in the entire Lashio area in one bite, and start its first real battle in Myanmar.

The intention of the Chinese army is also Zhang Yunfei's intention. In this battle, these Japanese troops must be wiped out.

The Japanese Command in Southeast Asia may have sensed the intention of the Chinese army, and two Japanese field divisions to reinforce Lashio are marching northward urgently.It may be possible to reach Lashio in a day.

Now, the 28th Army is also marching to the designated location. The task of the 28th Army is to block the Japanese reinforcements going north, and at the same time prevent the Lashio Japanese army from going south to break through.

Lashio is just north.

Wang Haiyang, Commander of the 1st Group Army, and Chen Erwa, Commander of the 2nd Group Army, are on a hill.Holding up the binoculars and looking ahead, the sound of dense guns and shells faintly came from the front. This is the fierce exchange of fire between the soldiers and the Japanese army.

There are many mountains around Lashio. Although the mountains are not high, they are also mountainous areas.The Japanese troops stationed in Lashio relied on the mountains.A lot of fortifications were built, especially the hills on both sides of some roads, and the Japanese army focused on defense.

The Japanese army knew that the Chinese army had a large number of trucks, and the march was basically motorized. It was difficult for these trucks to drive away from the road, so the Japanese army focused their defense on both sides of the road, layer by layer along several roads leading to Lashio. Fortification, one defense line after another was arranged.

Now, the 1st and 2nd Group Armies, attacking from the north, are advancing along several roads and fighting fiercely with the Japanese army.

The main road leading to Lashio is naturally the Burma Road. In addition to the Burma Road, there are also several dirt roads. These dirt roads paved with gravel can also be driven by trucks of the Chinese army. Many troops are also following this road. The dirt road advances towards Lashio.

Wang Haiyang and Chen Erwa stood side by side. Both of them are Zhang Yunfei's old subordinates. This time the Chinese army sent troops to Southeast Asia, and Chang Yunfei sent two people. It can be seen that Zhang Yunfei is determined to conquer the remnants of Southeast Asia. little devil.

"Old Chen! Our troops have advanced smoothly. We can advance at least 20 kilometers today, even defeating several lines of defense of the Japanese army."

Chen Erwa nodded, "Our air force blew up the Japanese army in the Lashio area, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses on many lines of defense. There is no problem in advancing 20 kilometers today."

"Yeah!" Wang Haiyang nodded, and then continued: "The little devils may not have thought that we sent a few surprise soldiers to abandon the road and go straight into Lashio City along the mountain."

"haha>

The two looked at each other and immediately burst into laughter. At present, the troops are less than 30 kilometers away from Lashio City. The two changed their previous combat style and sent several troops to abandon the road and walk south along the mountain path. "Insert", "insert" directly into the city of Lashio.

The main force of the two major armies still advanced along the road and fought fiercely with the Japanese army.

Lashio is due north, nearly ten kilometers away from the Burma Highway. At this time, a troop is heading south along the mountain path. This is an entire infantry regiment. Nearly [-] soldiers, all fully armed, are heading south. Interspersed with the city of Lashio.The marching team stretched for three or four kilometers.

There are seven or eight such teams, and each team is at least one regiment, and some even operate with two regiments.

The main force of the defending Japanese army was being attracted by the soldiers attacking from the front. The Japanese army did not notice it at all, and the Chinese army was already moving south along the mountain path on a large scale.

The Japanese army stationed in Lashio did not have aircraft, so they did not have aerial reconnaissance. If the Japanese army had reconnaissance planes hovering in this area, the Japanese army would definitely have discovered such a large-scale military operation.

In addition, several Japanese commanders stationed in Lashio have become rigid in their thinking. These commanders believe that the Chinese army is still fighting in the past, first bombing by planes, and then advancing along the front of the road under the cover of artillery and tanks. In the past, the Chinese army played the same way, but this time there was a slight change.

This Chinese army marching along the mountain path has been marching for almost two hours, and has traveled more than ten kilometers to the south. If the mountain road is not difficult and the soldiers are fully armed, everyone's marching distance is definitely more than this.

However, the smooth march to the south for ten kilometers, and a lot closer to Lashio City, the faint sound of guns and artillery has been left far behind by the soldiers. The soldiers know that they have penetrated into the Japanese defense zone depth.

A colonel leader who led the team was also in the middle of the team. After two hours of marching, the colonel leader seemed to be full of energy and not tired. Obviously, he was in very good health.

"Guards! Send an order to go down and rest on the spot for 10 minutes. At the same time, send reconnaissance troops to investigate and guard ahead."

After receiving the order, the marching soldiers began to rest on the spot. Many soldiers were still carrying mortars, ammunition boxes, machine guns and other guys. The two-hour march was full of mountain roads. Many soldiers We also feel a little tired.

The soldiers put down the things in their hands, and many of them sat down where they were. Some soldiers took out their water bottles and drank a couple of sips of water. Some soldiers who were more addicted to cigarettes took out their cigarettes and lit them, smoking happily. Take a few bites.

At the forefront of the team, a captain and company commander was leading more than 100 soldiers to investigate ahead. This is the investigation company directly under the infantry regiment.

"Comrades! Take the squad as the unit, spread out, and the detection range is two kilometers,"

Soon, small groups of soldiers dispersed, not only some went to the front to scout, but also some went to the sides to scout.

The captain and company commander also personally led an infantry squad, and went forward. About a kilometer ahead, the road forked, one went south, and the other turned to the right, obviously leading to the side road A valley.

"Come on, let's look to the right."

The captain and company commander just observed a little. There are many footprints in this area, and the branches and thatch on both sides have been chopped down. When he found this situation, he naturally wanted to take a look. If he could find the Japanese army, it would be a big deal. harvest.

The company commander, with a dozen soldiers, quietly advanced along this road, and walked about 500 to [-] meters. Everyone saw at least a dozen little devils standing guard in front of them, and the little devils standing guard also erected He fired two crooked sub-machine guns.

Farther away, there seemed to be more little devils, and a little further away, it seemed to be a valley basin. There seemed to be a lot of tents on the basin, but they were blocked by trees, so they could not be seen very clearly.

Could it be that this is a frontline headquarters of the little devil? [

Thinking of this, the captain and company commander immediately signaled everyone to keep quiet, and he took out his binoculars to observe quietly. After watching for a while, the captain and company commander quickly confirmed that this is a headquarters of the little devil.

Because, there were quite a few little devils coming in and out of the tent just now, and there were little devils standing guard outside every tent. It was undoubtedly the headquarters of the little devils, but I didn't know what level of headquarters it was.

"Squad leader! Take two people and report to the head of the regiment as soon as possible. There is a situation here. It is the headquarters of a little devil."

"Old Zhao, Xiao Li, come with me." The squad leader retreated quietly with two soldiers, and then trotted all the way to report to his regiment leader, while the captain and company commander personally led the remaining soldiers. The soldiers watched from a distance.

The little devil in the distance didn't notice.

This is a relatively large valley. Although the mountains on both sides are not high, the basin at the bottom of the valley is not small, and it is not far from the front line, only less than ten kilometers away. It is a very good location, very suitable for setting up the front line Command.

In addition, on the other side of the valley, there is a dirt road that connects the Burma Highway a few kilometers away. On that side, the little devils have deployed a lot of troops to guard, and this side is connected to a desolate mountainous area. The strength is very weak, and it happened to be picked up by the soldiers, and it was easily discovered by the soldiers.
