Age of Rebirth

September 29th was a rare fine weather. There were no annoying showers, let alone a scorching sun, thin clouds, covering the sky, and a rare cool mountain breeze. Blowing slowly across the mountains, for the infantry troops, it was undoubtedly a gift from God. &*《》Fastest Update＊＊

Although the Japanese soldiers were exhausted and their legs weighed a thousand catties, they were refreshed in such weather, and their marching speed immediately increased a lot. There was a dull roar in the sky, and many Japanese soldiers Looking up, I am afraid that the downpour will come unexpectedly.

Faint thin clouds, flowing like a lover's veil, no matter how you look at it, it won't rain. The Japanese soldiers who are about to be driven mad by the mountains and climate in Yunnan smile at themselves, worrying that they are a bit redundant, so they just delay for a while, causing trouble. The officer cursed viciously, and his ass was kissed heavily by his thick, mud-stained military boots.

Le Yiqin led the Southern Aviation Group of the Air Force. More than 700 fighters and bombers were divided into five batches and took off from Wuhan Airport. This morning was also a good start for Le Yiqin. After the order, he has been worried about the weather in western Yunnan. [

When Wuhan took off, the sky was still thick with cumulus clouds. After passing Guiyang and Kunming, the cumulus clouds turned into thin clouds. Looking down from the cockpit, you can see the verdant forests in western Yunnan and the continuous mountains. In the airspace of Tengchong, Le Yiqin gave orders to the formation.

"According to the original plan, the fighter formations centered on Baoshan and Tengchong, searched for the Japanese army at low altitude, the bomber formations climbed up, entered the scheduled bombing area, waited for the attack order, and acted!" They got out of the thin clouds and swooped down towards the mountains in western Yunnan.

Flying across a canyon between two mountains at low altitude, the sight suddenly opened up. On a winding mountain road, people like yellow ants slowly squirmed among the green. Le Yiqin wanted to laugh out loud. Luckily, no one could stop Can't help it, just [-] minutes after flying out, I found the little devil.

I am afraid that among all the pilots, I am the first one, otherwise, those crazy guys would have shouted through the wire, "Attention all reconnaissance formations, in the direction of Yongping to the north of Baoshan, the Japanese army was found Army column, did anyone else find anything?"

"Commander, you're so lucky, right? Why did the little devil hit your gun? God also favors officials!" There was a loud exclamation in the earphones, and the other pilots, Unconvinced, they yelled, "Pay attention to the search, fly along the road, center on my position, spread on both sides, increase the search width, listen carefully, the altitude of each aircraft is not allowed to be too low, Don't be bitten by the little devil's machine gun. If the plane is scratched a little, go back and put your confinement. "" """

"Commander, the direction of the old battalion, the Japanese army was found, the direction of Lushui, the Japanese army was found, the direction of Jiuzhou, the Japanese army on the defense line," ten minutes later, the fighter formations responsible for the search and reconnaissance mission found the traces of the Japanese army, and the reports came one after another. Let Le Yiqin feel happy.

Le Yiqin hurriedly reported to Tang Qiuli, "Reporting to the commander, the Southern Flying Group has found Japanese troops in the west of Baoshan and Tengchong. They are divided into five groups and are heading towards Baoshan and Tengchong. Please tell us whether our air formation should attack immediately. ?”

Tang Qiuli had a sneer at the corner of his mouth. As expected, Shouyi in the temple chose to go to Myitkyina in northern Myanmar, the nearest route to Baoshan and Tengchong, "Le Yiqin, after 10 minutes, the attack will start. The ground troops will not be able to reach the above-mentioned position until 54:[-] this afternoon at the earliest, and it is now [-]:[-] in the morning, so you have to delay the Japanese army for more than five hours, otherwise, you have to consider the consequences yourself."

Tang Qiuli's tone was very serious and cold, Le Yiqin shrank his neck, my dear, the teacher is very angry, this battle is not easy to fight, it is not easy to stop more than 20 little devils with an airplane for more than five hours , The plan of the entire fleet to launch an attack and let go of their hands and feet to fight a hearty battle may be difficult to realize.

According to the current marching speed of the little devil, he will reach Tengchong and Baoshan in about six hours. Le Yiqin racked his brains and hurriedly considered one plan after another. To carry out the attack, the interval between attacks is three to ten minutes, the fleet that has completed the bombing will make an alternate landing at Kunming Airport and Nanning Airport, refuel and refuel, and take off for the second time, do you understand?"

"The third bomber formation searched for bridges on the roads leading to Baoshan and Tengchong, and they were all blown up." Le Yiqin adjusted the battle plan to ensure uninterrupted air strikes. Then, he contacted Kunming and Nanning airports to advance Prepare, and order the transport air group in Wuhan to immediately airlift a large number of "Buddha Light" napalm to Nanning and Kunming.

In the sky above the heads of the Japanese army, seven or eight Chinese planes appeared, which only caused the Japanese army to panic for a short time. However, after ten minutes, disaster befalls the Japanese army. In the width of tens of kilometers from Yongping to Lushui in western Yunnan, flames were flying, flames were everywhere, and huge columns of smoke were everywhere.

Shouyi in the temple felt tense for a while. From the beginning of the large-scale air strike of the Independent Division, he realized that Tang Qiuli's troops hadn't stood in front of him. The purpose of dispatching planes was to slow down his marching speed. The division troops are rushing in this direction.

Don't delay too much time just because of the air raid. He called the chief of staff and ordered, "Order, after the air raid, the troops are not allowed to stay, and continue to advance in the direction of Tengchong and Baoshan. The wounded are left behind for the recovery team," Terauchi Shouichi said. The idea is good, the plane of the independent division will toss for two or three hours at most.

But what happened later made him realize that he was wrong, and he was wrong. The planes of the Independent Division, like the flock of eagles staring at the target, would land on his soldiers again at intervals of 10 to [-] minutes. As the plane flew away, the Japanese army had just arranged their formation, and before they had taken a few steps, another wave came.

From around 20:[-] in the morning until [-]:[-] noon, more than [-] Japanese soldiers took cover during the bombings. After each air raid, several dead soldiers and missing arms were left on the mountain roads in western Yunnan. The wounded soldiers with few legs and howling in pain walked less than ten kilometers for more than six hours.

Sweat was dripping from the forehead of Shouyi in the temple. The planes of the Chinese army fought in this way for an obvious purpose, to make it difficult for their soldiers to move an inch, and to create time for Tang Qiuli's ground troops to rush in front of him to intercept him. He would not do such stupid things as air raids and forced marches. I am afraid that there will be few soldiers left who can be brought to Burma before they reach the Burmese border.

Terauchi Shouichi was lying in the woods, looking at the Chinese planes in the sky, dropping heavy bombs one after another, gnashing his teeth with hatred. The air force of the Empire of Japan had actually weakened to such an extent. A plane painted with the sun logo, brave Imperial soldiers, was blown to pieces right in front of his eyes.

He secretly vowed that when he arrived in Myitkyina, he would strictly rectify the aviation of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and send all these wastes to military courts. Temple Shouyi forgot, in the two air battles with the Air Force of the Independent Division over Nanning , the Southern Expeditionary Army's air force was almost completely lost. I am afraid that even ten planes cannot be put together. [

This is thanks to him. Without the strict order of Shouichi in the temple, the air force of the dispatched army would not be dispatched to attack Nanning. As a result, Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group created an opportunity to break the wings of the Japanese air force. Shouichi Terauchi didn't think so when the Japanese air force was in a slump.

He only thought that he had ordered the air force of the dispatched army to dispatch planes to cover the retreat of the troops on the Yunnan-Myanmar border, but the commander of the air force replied, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, after the air battle in Nanning, Hainan Island and Taiwan Air Force Base, There are no more than ten planes that can fly into the sky, and the new fighter planes added by the local government have not arrived for a long time. I have reminded the commander-in-chief many times, but the problem has not been resolved, please forgive me for what I can do."

Six hours later, in the sky, those Chinese planes that killed thousands of imperial soldiers finally disappeared. Several Japanese troops were bombed to pieces, with casualties everywhere. Morale was extremely low. Mu Ran coldly ordered the wounded soldiers to be left on the road, and the rest of the troops immediately marched to Tengchong and Baoshan.

The hopeful Shouyi in the temple, when he finally saw the ancient city of Tengchong, he hadn't even breathed a sigh of relief, and he was directly under the army of the Corps. He had arrived in Yingjiang, Tengchong, Baoshan, Chang Ning, Nanzhao and other places established an insurmountable blocking line to block all the passages leading to Myitkyina in northern Myanmar.

The overwhelming artillery fire alone made the Japanese soldiers terrified. After two tentative attacks, except for leaving thousands of soldiers dead, Terauchi Shouichi did not catch anything, and hit his head on the iron plate. He finally lost his way. , go back the same way.

After staying at Laoying and Yongping for one night, they finally turned to Savage Mountain. For the 10,000+ Japanese soldiers in the temple, it was a road of death and a road of no return.

Tang Qiuli's wish was finally fulfilled, and he forced Shouyi in the temple to enter Savage Mountain. After receiving the report, Tang Qiuli smiled heartily and said to Chang Feng: "Order the troops of Tengchong, Baoshan, and Yingjiang to attack the Japanese army. Light up another fire behind their buttocks, and hurry up into Savage Mountain!"

That night, Tang Qiuli hosted a banquet for the local gentry in one of the most authentic restaurants in the ancient city of Tengchong. During the dinner, Chen Feng, the communications director, hurried over and handed him a document.

When I opened it, I couldn't help laughing out loud. The article was full of arrogance, arrogance and politeness. The British made a serious protest to himself and claimed that he wanted to use force to speak. He seemed to have seen the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Speaking of which, the British made a serious protest, and the cause of the incident was Colonel Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special operations detachment.
