Bangkok, Japanese Army Southern Command.

General Toshiichi Terauchi, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Southern Army, was furious at the moment. The generals below all lowered their heads and kept silent. Standing at the front was Lieutenant General Moritaka Nakahara, the commander of the Fifth Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army. At this moment, Zhongyuan Sheng Xiaozhong's eyes were as red as fire, as if he was extremely angry, and his face was swollen like a pig's head. Upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to see that there were clear finger prints all over his face, and there were even bruises left at the corners of his mouth. The wiped blood can be imagined, the poor Lieutenant General Sheng Xiao of the Central Plains has just received a stormy ear scrape, and it is definitely heavy enough.

It's no wonder that Terauchi Shouichi was furious. The entire Fifth Flying Regiment and the Navy's carrier-based aircraft team, with a total of nearly [-] aircraft, were defeated by the Chinese Air Force in World War I. They returned in a big defeat and managed to escape. Less than one-third of the planes came back, so it was a minor embarrassment. The [-]th Flying Division was considered finished and could not recover in the short term. With the production capacity of the Empire of Japan at this time, it was impossible to replenish such a large number of planes in time. Over the Pacific Ocean, the U.S. military has increased its air support force, and the navy is estimated to be unable to spare strength to support the Burmese battlefield for the time being. The imperial army lost its air superiority. There was no way to stop Jiang Haoran from landing in Myanmar, and the situation in Myanmar suddenly became uncertain.

After the storm, the brief tranquility made the atmosphere in the room very depressing. Chief of Staff Tsukada Gong coughed twice, and faced Sheng Xiao Zhongyuan: "Mr. Zhongyuan, you are saying that the Mustang fighter jets that attacked you this time, and the number is more than Two hundred?"

Zhongyuan Shengxiao bowed his legs together and said: "Hay, I'm sure, I see it clearly, the shape of the aircraft of the China Army is no different from the new Mustang aircraft of the US military in the newspaper yesterday, and even the performance is similar to that of the US military. The Zero Type is only superior, if not for these, and the fact that the number of aircraft of the Chinese Army is much larger than that of the Imperial Army, my Fifth Flying Regiment would not have suffered such a miserable defeat."

Tsukada Gong said: "This is strange. The Mustang fighter jets produced by the U.S. military were put into the sky over England a few days ago. It is said that the U.S. has just researched and put them into production. The total number of them is less than one hundred. How come the Chinese Army has two hundred of them? , is it possible that this Mustang fighter jet is still a masterpiece of the Chinese Army, and Baoshan Base is its production base?"

Terauchi Shouyi snorted coldly, and said: "I think it is very possible. According to the news from the headquarters, this Jiang Haoran is not only a war madman, but also very creative. He can produce AK47 assault rifles, rocket launchers, artillery fire, and grenades. , and in the recent battle of Nanchang, it was discovered that he had modified the tanks captured by the imperial army. The speed, agility and even artillery fire had been enhanced, which greatly surpassed the imperial army tanks themselves. Moreover, according to Reliable news, base 331 has been developing aircraft, and now it seems that it has not only been produced, but its performance is even higher than that of the Imperial Army's Type Zero."

"Hiss!" Tsukada took a deep breath and said, "In this way, this Jiang Haoran is really a terrifying opponent. No wonder Tada-kun and Okamura-kun have been made ashamed by him. Terauchi-kun, I see this The matter should be reported to the base camp as soon as possible, the situation in the Southeast Asian battlefield may have to be reassessed, and we must also request the base camp to replenish aircraft and troops to cope with all possible changes that may occur after Jiang Haoran's arrival."

Terauchi Shou nodded, acquiescing to Tsukada Gong's statement, and then ordered Tsukada Gong to immediately issue an attack order to several divisions in the Burmese battlefield. He will always find some face lost. Only by solving the expeditionary force as soon as possible can the possibility of deterioration of the situation on the battlefield in Myanmar be curbed.

Northern Myanmar, Hukang River Valley.

The air battle has been over for more than three hours, and the sky above the Hukang River Valley is still filled with gunpowder smoke. Hundreds of planes crashed, and the burning of the wreckage has not been completely extinguished. Fortunately, this is a tropical hot and rainy area. Although the vegetation is lush, it is relatively humid. Therefore, there have been no large-scale forest fires.

After witnessing a rare air battle, the spirits of the soldiers improved, and the military shovels in their hands were wielded diligently and powerfully. Of course, this must be because they knew that in this air battle, the national army Big win.

The new chief executive hadn't seen him yet, so he staged such a wonderful show for them, which made the soldiers full of expectations for the new chief executive, and their confidence and belief were suddenly greatly improved. The Cam River Valley presents a scene of excitement.

Outside the expeditionary army headquarters, Stilwell and Luo Zhuoying were sitting under a parasol chatting and smoking cigars. They thought that Jiang Haoran would come after the air battle, but they didn't see any ghosts. He simply moved out his chair and sat outside and set up a Longmen formation.

Of course, they were talking about the wonderful air battle just now. After the war, they roughly counted that at least more than 160 enemy planes were shot down, and they captured or confirmed that they were dead. Successfully rescued more than 40 pilots of the national army and the Flying Tigers. It can be said that this is definitely a battle that can be recorded in history. Even the well-informed Stilwell was full of praise and amazed at the results of the battle. .

Probably because the waiting time was too long, Stilwell was a little restless, walked out of the tent, looked at his watch and then looked up at the sky, and said with a somewhat exaggerated expression: "It's almost past noon, and the birds in the sky are not watching One, I really don’t know what the hell Jiang Haoran has done?”

After speaking, Stilwell undid the first button of his military uniform, took off his military cap, and fanned it vigorously.

It is already very hot in northern Myanmar in March, and the sun is shining brightly.Myanmar has a tropical monsoon climate. The four seasons are not distinct. The year is divided into dry season, rainy season, and cool season. Now is the hottest season in Myanmar, and the air is humid and hot.

Compared to Stilwell's impatience, Luo Zhuoying seemed calm and composed. On the one hand, the commander of the Fifth Army who had just been promoted was in a good mood; on the other hand, he believed that he had a good personal relationship with Jiang Haoran, and even helped With him, the days to come should be much more comfortable than under Du Yuming's hands.

Luo Zhuoying sneered, and said: "General Stilwell, don't worry, Jiang Haoran is not a master who has no sense of time. I once looked for him on the first day of his wedding, but he went there before dawn. Is the headquarters rushing?"

"Oh, there's another matter? Let's talk about it." Stilwell suddenly became interested.

But at this moment, Huang Jie, the chief of staff of the Expeditionary Army, arrived in a hurry with a message, and what he brought was not good news. The Japanese army was dispatched from both directions in the southeast, and quickly advanced to the front of the Expeditionary Army.
