Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Wu Chaowen straightened his body, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, tried to calm down, and said, "Boss, the No. 16 armies of the enemy on the west and north sides have retreated."

"Retreat across the board?" Jiang Haoran felt a little unbelievable at this moment.

"Yes, retreat across the board!" Wu Chaowen replied with certainty: "The whole line of defense is empty. My scouts caught up with the enemy for two miles and found no trace of the enemy. They only found a large number of fires burning corpses in their defense area." Heaps, the Japanese army retreated quickly without even waiting for the bodies to be burnt out."

"Where's the [-]st Guards Division in the south?"

"Retreat, and retreat. The entire army has withdrawn from the north bank of the Nandu River. It is not easy for scouts to cross the river rashly at night, so it is not certain whether they have completely withdrawn from the battlefield."

Hearing the words, Jiang Haoran rubbed his chin subconsciously, with an expression of disbelief on his face. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, why not the expeditionary army? Strictly speaking, both sides have tried their best, but the Japanese army has the advantage in terms of strength At least they still have [-] to [-] troops. Although Hayao Tada has been constrained by the shortage of ammunition for the past two days and has not exerted his full strength, the Japanese army has not given up on airdrops. As long as they persist for another two or three days, who will win the battle of Lashio There is no conclusion on who will win and who will lose. The Japanese army just gave up without reason. Has the situation of the battle changed substantially?

"Songshan?" Jiang Haoran exclaimed. Apart from the dramatic changes in the Songshan battlefield, Jiang Haoran couldn't think of any other reasons, "Hurry up, turn off the electronic interference equipment and receive the message!"

With such a disparity in troop strength, if the Japanese troops from the north and the south are allowed to contact each other to form a cooperation, it will undoubtedly pose a greater threat to the expeditionary force in Lashio. Therefore, in the past few days, the radio stations of both sides have been unable to communicate. status.

As soon as the order was issued, there was a busy beep sound in the telecommunications room. It can be seen that the outside has been contacting them non-stop. The troops of several divisions lost contact for a few days, especially in such an important position. With someone as important as Jiang Haoran here, what is involved is no longer a certain division or a certain group army, but the high tension in the whole of China and even the whole of the Allied countries.

From the Domestic Military Commission, No.40 Army Group, Expeditionary Force Yingdo Command, General Imphal Stilwell, etc.

Secretary Mei Xin quickly picked out the telegrams that Jiang Haoran needed most. The first one was from Su Peng, informing that at [-]:[-] in the morning, the Japanese army's Songshan line of defense had been completely destroyed, and the Sixth Division of the Japanese army was almost wiped out.

The second one was from Huang Jie, who informed that the Battle of Xidang was over, and the Japanese army retreated to Xidang. At the same time, the water guerrillas led by Admiral Chen Shaokuan successfully blocked the Japanese inland river guns, and all Japanese gunboats and transport ships withdrew from Ino Wadi River surface.

The third is Chu Zhongtian's. Just now, they have broken through the Japanese army's Wanding defense line and seized nearly [-] Japanese transport vehicles. The troops are rushing to Lashio overnight, and the forward troops are expected to arrive in Lashio by tomorrow morning. garrison.

As soon as these pieces of news were announced, the entire headquarters immediately exploded. All the staff danced and cheered, and many even embraced each other and wept. Already on the verge of collapse, this sudden victory undoubtedly gave them a shot in the arm, and no one would be ecstatic.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Jiang Haoran rudely stopped the cheering in the room and strictly ordered all departments to block the news. Before the special forces entered the defense zone, no one could disclose the news to the frontline combat troops.The special warfare division is still more than 100 kilometers away, and there may be variables in this. The soldiers were given hope too early. Once the special warfare division fails to arrive as scheduled, this hope will be shattered, and the soldiers with almost will will collapse. Passive and war-weary Emotions are inevitable.

At the same time, on the surface, the No. 16 Japanese army was forced to retreat due to the fact that the special warfare division was no longer able to resist, and the entire army was wiped out in order to prevent the two sides from attacking. However, Jiang Haoran was a little puzzled. , It is already equivalent to the death sentence of the No.15 Army and the Sixteenth Army of the Japanese Army. Therefore, at this time, the No.16 Army of the Japanese Army should not choose to retreat, but to attack with all its strength and make a final effort. It is a bit abnormal for the Japanese army to spare their lives , unless they have a backup, retreat is just a cover.

Or they still have a way to escape, but the north and south roads have been blocked, the west is the impassable Inowady River, and the east is the vast Shan plateau. Jiang Haoran really can't think of where the Japanese army's way out , although the idea that they would go to the Shan State Plateau also flashed in his mind, but he quickly rejected it. Compared with the Savage Mountain, the Shan State Plateau has a wider area, more complicated terrain, and a longer journey. At the beginning, more than 5 expeditionary troops entered , Only a few thousand people came out. With the cunning of the little devils, they would never go this way.

Therefore, Jiang Haoran believes that the Japanese army is actually holding back something bad. When the soldiers in Lashio relax their vigilance, they will kill them with a feint shot. Once the soldiers lose their vigilance and sense of danger, they may be killed The little devil succeeded, at the last critical moment, Jiang Haoran will never make this mistake again.

In fact, Jiang Haoran has already made similar mistakes. At the Battle of Mahuiling, it was because of his own negligence that the casualties that could have been avoided became a reality, resulting in the innocent deaths of thousands of soldiers. In every battle, Jiang Haoran will take this as a warning, think more and ponder more, and do everything possible to be perfect. Perhaps, this is also the fundamental reason why he has rarely lost battles over the years.

Regardless of whether the people in the headquarters could understand it or not, everyone strictly followed Jiang Haoran's orders. The headquarters regained its calm, and the personnel of each department followed the steps, but they all had an uncontrollable relaxed look on their faces.

Although he concealed the news from the front-line troops, Jiang Haoran still ordered the logistics troops to kill pigs and sheep, bury pots and make meals, and deliver a delicious meal to the frontline troops. During the continuous war for more than 20 days, the soldiers did not even have time to eat. They are all extravagant, basically they eat compressed biscuits, all kinds of canned food, and they are all Japanese-style. Although it is not bad to be able to fill your stomach during wartime, compared with domestic battlefields, most troops are not seen on the battlefield. It is necessary to have such good treatment, but Jiang Haoran’s troops have never said that they are hungry. Usually, fish and meat are common, and rice, white flour, and steamed buns are enough, so the soldiers’ physiques are also good, like little devils. They really don't like the food.
