Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Tanaka Shin remained silent for a while, with only a wry smile on his expression, a wry smile with infinite despair.

The current strength of Wanding is only an independent security wing, less than 4000 people, plus the cavalry wing, logistics wing, artillery wing, communication team, field hospital, etc. directly under the military headquarters, all of them are counted as combatants. There are less than 1 people, and this kind of mixed team is basically blocking the car with the arms of the mantis against the special fighters.

Shinichi Tanaka, the Special Warfare Division, knows all too well. Although he has never confronted them, he witnessed the destruction of the 116th Division, the Ninth Division, and the Sixth Division. The three divisions were attacking Base 331. The entire army was wiped out in the battle, including two permanent divisions, and even the sixth division known as the No. How could Shinichi fight them with such a pitiful amount of strength in his hands?

"Ugh???????"

Shinichi Tanaka sighed for a long time, took out a pack of Sakura brand cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, lit it, and smoked vigorously, his tense expression seemed to suddenly relax.

He already understood that the Southern Army Command had nothing to do at this time, and issuing such an order was tantamount to abandoning their No.16 Army.

In fact, the army ran out of food ten days ago. Occasional airdrops can’t solve the problem at all. Fortunately, northern Myanmar is also a high-yielding area for rice. Although the rice has not yet matured, the patina has already formed, and 10,000+ soldiers rely on harvesting These immature rice has been supported until now. Now that Songshan has fallen, the entire defense line has collapsed, and the flames of war are fully ignited. Facing the army that is twice as large as the locust army, the troops may not even have time to harvest rice. Two or three days Within a few days, the locust army had to fight hungry, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined.Lashio could not be attacked for a long time, and the six divisions had no food and no reinforcements. The future and fate of the 10,000+ locust warriors made Tanaka Shin see no hope, and an unprecedented sadness arose in his heart.

"Tanaka-kun, here comes the telegram from Lieutenant General Tada of the 15th Army." Just as Shinichi Tanaka was thinking about it, Major General Masatoshi Sawada, chief of staff of the No. [-] Army of the Japanese Army, walked in with a telegram.

Looking at the gloomy expression on Masatoshi Sawada's face, Shinichi Tanaka's heart throbbed for a while, knowing that it might not be good news, he didn't even have the courage to accept the telegram handed over by Masatoshi Sawada, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's the situation."

Sawada Masatoshi sighed, and said: "The No.16 Army will soon face the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food. If there is not enough supplies brought in, there is absolutely no possibility of taking down Lashio within three days."

"Ah???????" Tanaka opened his mouth wide and asked in disbelief: "Didn't the navy just deliver a batch of supplies to them, why did they run out of ammunition and food?"

Sawada Masatoshi smiled bitterly: "Yes, the Navy did transport them a batch of supplies, several hundred tons, and added a batch of soldiers, but this was already five days ago. The continuous attack on Lashio for several days has consumed too much ammunition."

"Didn't the headquarters have an airdrop? Didn't continue to use the navy to transport supplies?"

"Airdrops have always been there, otherwise it would have been unsustainable. As for shipping? The expeditionary force blocked the Inovady River, and the east bank was full of artillery fire, light and heavy machine guns. Moreover, the shameful person was in the Inovady River. A lot of floating mines were dropped, because the locust army can only control one side of the river bank, and they can't even pull up the interception net, so the ships and ships can't get through at all."

With a "snap", Tanaka Shinichi punched the table one by one, and popped out a few words "Bageyalu!" from his teeth. Then he asked: "Tada-kun, does Tada-kun have any suggestions?"

"General Tada told us to protect Sister Mu no matter what."

"Sister Mu?" Tanaka Shinichi looked suspicious, got up and walked towards the battle sand table.

Eighty kilometers south of Wanding is Muse, and one hundred kilometers further to Lashio. Shinichi Tanaka is fascinated by the sand table.

Masatoshi Zetian pointed at the sand table and said suspiciously: "Mujie is the only way for the army to go to Lashio, and it is not a dangerous place. Even if we use all our troops in Wanding, we will not be able to defend Muse. General Tada What means?"

Tanaka Shinichi pondered for a while, then waved his hands and said, "No, no, I think Tada-kun meant that after the Chu Zhongtian part of the Zhina army passed Muse, all the troops of our Sixteenth Army moved closer to Muse and blocked her with all their strength. army in western Yunnan."

"Is there any deep meaning in this?"

Tanaka Shinichi looked sad, and after a long silence, he murmured: "Mr. Tada doesn't have the confidence to fight this battle anymore. He is trying to find a way out for the No.15 and No.16 armies of the locust army."

Masatoshi Zetian stared at the place name Muse for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Where is the way of life?"

Shinichi Tanaka waved his baton, drew a circle in the area east of Muse, and said, "Here?"

"Shan Plateau?" Sawada Masatoshi exclaimed.

Going straight east from the Shan State Plateau is Siam (Thailand), but this trip must pass through at least 2000 kilometers of virgin forest, and cross two rivers on the way. The mountains overlap, the forest is like the sea, and the highest altitude exceeds [-] meters, and there are continuous swamps in the jungle, dense forests in river valleys and mountains, rampant wolves and beasts, miasma and malaria, mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, miasma, people are hard to guard against, and every blow is a fatal wound.

Especially now that the rainy season has just passed, the gnats and leeches in the forest are extremely active. Once bitten by them, various forest diseases, such as relapsing fever, malaria, tetanus, and septicemia, will spread rapidly.Therefore, if you want to cross the Shan plateau, the degree of danger is immeasurable. No wonder Masatoshi Sawada is so nervous.

Tanaka Shinichi sighed, and said: "I'm afraid there is no better way now. The 10,000th Army can't take down Lashio now. After the special warfare division of the Zhina Army passes by, it will be even more impossible. If they don't retreat decisively , I am afraid that they will be beaten to death by the special warfare division soon. In the north, the army in the west of Yunnan is so strong. The [-]+ army has no food and no reinforcements. There is really no second way except to enter the Shan plateau. You can go."

A look of pain flashed in Zetian Masatoshi's eyes, and then he said a little lonely: "Then are we still blocking the special fighters in front of us?"

"Stopping is definitely going to be blocked. Let's do our best. I hope the situation will turn around, because the First Guard Division south of Lashio has not given up. As long as they can annihilate Jiang Haoran within two days Department, take down Lashio, and the imperial army may come back."

??

At about [-] o'clock in the afternoon that day, on the road from Longling to Wanding, special forces were running wildly all the way.

From noon to now, they have run more than 50 kilometers. According to this speed, they can reach Wanding in the evening. There are not many troops in the rear of the Japanese army. Several checkpoints were also killed by large troops, and the Japanese army gave up directly. So basically there was no blocking force. The only time delay was that the Japanese army planted some landmines along the way, otherwise the speed would be faster. not much.

After tens of kilometers of rapid marching, the marching speed does not feel much slower than the beginning. Cross-country with heavy loads is the strength of special warfare divisions. Training tens of kilometers every day, the sweat is not in vain.

Of course, they didn't rest at all. When the Japanese army fleet appeared in the sky, they would go into the jungle to drink water and eat to replenish their strength. As soon as the plane left, they immediately got out of the jungle and continued to move forward.

The Japanese army originally thought that the aircraft could bring certain casualties to the special forces and delay their marching speed, but they did not expect that on the Daozizi peak of Gaoligong Mountain, there was a giant radar station quietly working under camouflage. If any flying object approaches within [-] kilometers, it can provide accurate information to the Baoshan base. The base can respond quickly based on the radar information. If there is a large-scale enemy flying formation coming, the base will immediately notify the special warfare division. Let them evade urgently, the Japanese fleet cannot hover in the sky for too long.

If it was just a reconnaissance plane, the Mustang fighter jets at the base would quickly take off to annihilate the incoming enemies without giving them the opportunity to disclose the whereabouts of the special forces.

Therefore, several hours have passed, and the Japanese air force has not seen the special operations division at all.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the troops were only about ten kilometers away from Wanding. Chu Zhongtian stopped the troops, ordered them to rest where they were, and sent scouts to find out the bottom of the Japanese army. Most importantly, Chu Zhongtian hopes to find the location of the Japanese army's transport convoy, and focus on keeping those cars when attacking.

There is still 180 kilometers to go to Lashio. If we rely on two legs for the whole journey, I am afraid that it will take two to three days at the fastest. If there is an extra day of delay on the road, Lashio will be in danger of an extra day. If we can get a hundred cars, Maybe we can reach Lashio tomorrow.

The five-way scouts set off quickly, and the soldiers who had been running for several hours could finally get a good night's sleep. Within a few minutes, there was a thunderous snoring sound in the jungle, carrying equipment weighing dozens of kilograms Running for dozens of miles, it is a lie to say that I am not tired.

More than two hours later, the scouts came back to report that the Japanese army had set up a line of defense outside the city of Wanding, and it seemed that they were ready to resist. There were not many troops, about 6000 to [-], and they were in the southwest of the town towards Bhamo. , There is a convoy ready to go. The number of cars and armored vehicles is about a hundred. It seems that they are ready to retreat. If the battle is unfavorable, they may run away at any time.

Chu Zhongtian was overjoyed, and immediately dispatched two regiments, ordering them to detour to the southwest, and surprise the Japanese car regiment. To ensure the safety of the cars, the large troops began to attack in an all-round way after they succeeded.
