Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

After the Japanese reinforcements and supplies arrived, the next tough battle would definitely be inevitable. Jiang Haoran ordered all troops to enter a state of high alert and be ready to fight at any time.

When night fell, a large number of transport planes began to appear in the sky above Lashio, and white parachutes landed leisurely under the guidance of torches. After several days of airdrops, the ammunition and medicine consumed by the expeditionary force had been replenished.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Haoran got in touch with Ye Zhaofeng in the sky through the walkie-talkie and ordered him to take advantage of the night to search for the hiding places of the Japanese naval ships along the Inovaddy River. Gotta make them a little trouble.

Ye Zhaofeng responded that they had made some attempts just now, but the Japanese navy was obviously prepared. The anti-aircraft firepower was very strong, and the dive bombing was difficult to achieve. The ships were also very scattered, especially in the case of insufficient light. It is impossible to accurately throw aerial bombs on ships.

When Ye Zhaofeng said this, Jiang Haoran had no choice but to give up. After all, these pilots could not have eagle eyes like his own, and he could not use his own flying skills to measure them.

That night, Jiang Haoran ordered the troops to prepare wet firewood. The devils had been subdued for a few days, and reinforcements and supplies had been fully prepared, so the attack time would not be too far away.The weather was getting better day by day, and it was basically unrealistic to expect severe rainy days, and the air force had to use smoke arrays to deal with the Japanese army.

Sure enough, the Japanese army launched a surprise attack before the full light of the next day, and bombardment began almost simultaneously in the south, west, and north directions. The positions were plowed several times.

But the little devil underestimated Jiang Haoran's cunning. Last night, the defense line of the expeditionary army had retreated nearly ten miles. Except for a small number of confused troops on the forward position, all the fortifications were full of Japanese corpses. It was captured on the battlefield.

The expeditionary force had already suffered more than 3 casualties. If the line of defense was too long, the compactness and cohesion of the team would be lost. In addition to the hot weather, there were many corpses on the forward positions that the Japanese army had not had time to take away. The smell of corruption was too strong. Under such an environment, soldiers are prone to get sick and seriously affect their combat effectiveness, so Jiang Haoran withdrew his troops overnight, but who knows that the little devil wasted thousands of shells by mistake.

The new fortifications started to be built three days ago. The military and military united operations, the efficiency is very high, and there is enough time. The current fortifications are far better than the fortifications on the first line of defense that have been plowed countless times by artillery fire. much stronger.

The bombardment began in the early morning, and the Japanese army also planned to launch a vigorous attack today, but they did not expect to ravage the bodies of their fallen soldiers. Moreover, after the expeditionary army retreated, countless landmines were planted along the way. The Japanese Type [-] anti-tank mines and Type [-] amphibious landmines, needless to say, these of course came from the warehouses of the Japanese Army in Lashio.

For a whole morning, the Japanese army spent all of their time clearing mines and burning the bodies of the fallen soldiers. At around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the troops barely moved to the front of the expeditionary force, and then hurriedly inspected the terrain, built fortifications, and set up artillery positions. , The whole day was wasted in vain, not to mention the consumption of a lot of shells, and all the officers and soldiers were as tired as dead dogs.

On the third day, which is September No. 18, the fourth day before Liang Xiaotian's seven-day agreement, the Japanese army finally launched an attack again, and this time the three directions did not distinguish between the main attack and the assist, and several divisions pressed the entire line. When we came up, the artillerymen rushed after the infantry, and the infantry finished the artillery bombardment. After fighting during the day, they continued to fight at night. From time to time, the plane dropped some aerial bombs through the layers of smoke.

In this way, the Japanese army fought against the expeditionary army for three days and three nights without stopping. The casualties of the expeditionary army rose sharply, and then dropped by nearly half again. Thanks to the China-Mimi joint flight team taking advantage of the night time, they carried out several large-scale air strikes against the Japanese army, suppressing the Japanese army's offensive to a certain extent, otherwise the situation would be even worse.

On the fourth day, the defense line of the expeditionary force had to shrink again and retreated ten miles. At this time, there were only ten miles away from Lashio City. This was their last line of defense. If they retreated again, the Japanese army could go around Through the central mountain range, the north-south docking is realized, and supplies can also be continuously transported in, so the battle of Lashio becomes meaningless.

Of course, when that time comes, it means that the expeditionary force in Lashio is basically over.

Also because of seeing hope, the Japanese army's attack became more reckless and crazier, and Jiang Haoran faced more and more threats. If he couldn't wait for reinforcements, he might not last for a few days.

??

The front of the Songshan position.

Jiang Haoran reached the most critical time, and it was also the last day of Liang Xiaotian's seven-day agreement.

Chu Zhongtian, Su Peng, Liu Dakun and other staff generals arrived at the forward position early, kept checking the time and looking up at the sky, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the bomber.

The critical battle situation in Lashio had already spread to the troops in western Yunnan. All the officers and soldiers were so anxious that smoke came out of their throats. The soldiers of the No.40 Army had indescribable feelings for Jiang Haoran. , whose hearts are not roasted on the fire, they all wish to grow a pair of wings on their backs and fly directly to Lashio.

The seven days of torment and waiting had come, and they put all their hopes on Liang Xiaotian. Seeing that the most critical moment was approaching, one could imagine their nervousness.

Although the Songshan battlefield has hardly launched a large-scale offensive in the past few days except for the harassment of a confusing nature, the No. 70 First Army and the First Army on the left wing started to attack the Japanese troops in Tengchong and Longling three days ago. Of course, the main purpose is to contain the Japanese army and relieve the pressure on the backup of the Yishan position.

On the high ground of the main peak of Matsuyama, Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe, commander of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, and a group of staff generals also walked out of the fortifications and watched the front of the Chinese army through binoculars.

It has been seven days since Rolling Longpo was destroyed by the Chinese army's soil work. The Chinese army has not launched a threatening attack. This is very abnormal. Watanabe Masao originally thought that the Chinese were going to carry out soil work again, but He didn't hear any abnormal reaction from several underground monitoring points, which made his heart flutter and feel very uneasy. He always felt that the national army must have some kind of conspiracy, and this conspiracy must be a destructive threat to them. Fear of unknown origin.

If his opponent was replaced by another army, he could still calm down, but Jiang Haoran's army made him unable to calm down. The locust army suffered too much, too miserable, and too bloody in Jiang Haoran's hands. Down to the soldiers, who hears the word "Jiang Haoran" without trembling heart and leg cramps?
