Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Fortunately, the soldiers of the airborne brigade are all the elites of special warfare divisions. Their combat effectiveness and fighting will are completely different from ordinary soldiers. Open, a small team of three or five people, in a search formation, search the entire area inch by inch.

The guns of the enemy's bunkers are all in front. No matter how cunning the Japanese army is, it is impossible for the expeditionary force to think in advance that the expeditionary force will parachute behind their defense line, so this also brings convenience to the airborne troops to clean them up. As long as they touch their rear, a few Throw a grenade in, and basically the people inside should be finished.

Although a huge cost of casualties was paid, the first step of the airborne plan to the east coast was considered a success.However, it is obviously impossible for the remaining troops of the third regiment to hold the position. Moreover, with the start of the bridging operation, their area has to be expanded, which means that they have to snatch the position from the Japanese army. .

Fortunately, Jiang Haoran still had an emergency plan, but before launching the emergency plan, Jiang Haoran first implemented the air combat situation. As early as when the airborne brigade was airborne, the Japanese air force was dispatched immediately, and the scale was quite large.However, they were all blocked in the airspace dozens of miles away by the No. 40 Group Army Flying Brigade and No. 14 Air Force led by Ye Zhaofeng and Chennault.

Ye Zhaofeng and Chennault responded that no matter how crazy the enemy's fighter jets were, they had the confidence and ability to keep the Japanese planes at the periphery and never allow an enemy plane to appear in the airborne area.

Immediately, Stilwell also sent a message, telling Jiang Haoran that the US Pacific Fleet had appeared in the Pacific Ocean as scheduled, and it was only a few hundred nautical miles away from the Strait of Malacca.

This is also one of Jiang Haoran's plans. As long as the US Pacific Fleet hovers over the defense line of the Japanese combined fleet, the Japanese naval carrier-based aircraft will not dare to act rashly.

Confirming that there is no problem with the air supremacy, Jiang Haoran immediately ordered the armed helicopter squadron to dispatch to carry out a large-scale cleaning operation against the Japanese troops on the east bank.

Less than 3 minutes after the order was issued, there was a rumbling sound of machines over the bridgehead, and then more than a hundred armed helicopters appeared over the Irrawaddy River, sweeping towards the east bank, and crossed the Irrawaddy River in a few minutes. Immediately, missiles, The rockets poured down like raindrops, and all of them hit the Japanese defense line.

But to Jiang Haoran's disappointment, he expected that the scene of the Japanese army retreating like a tide did not happen. Instead, his own helicopters were shot down one by one. Twenty or thirty helicopters were destroyed by the enemy in just ten minutes. Judging from the scene of the explosion, he hardly needs to report from the front, so he can be sure that the enemy is equipped with missiles, because no matter whether it is an anti-aircraft artillery or a rocket launcher, it is impossible to cause such a large explosion scene and such a high hit rate. It is only possible that the Japanese army has developed it. The missiles, of course, may also be aided by the German army. Regarding this, Jiang Haoran is more inclined to the latter. The Japanese army always pays attention to economy, especially when the Japanese army is currently extremely scarce in strategic materials, it is even more impossible for them to invest such a large amount of financial and material resources in research and development. Such an expensive thing.

Of course, it’s a bit redundant to think about these things now. The most important thing at the moment is to solve the immediate predicament. Under Jiang Haoran’s command, the helicopter quickly rose and spread out. Part of it was looking for the enemy’s missile launch base, and part of it continued to attack the enemy on the defense line. Madness raged.

The enemy's missile stockpile seems to be insufficient. After the first round of attacks, the momentum has weakened significantly. Moreover, many launch points have been found out by helicopters or fighter jets, and they are cleared one by one.

As soon as the situation here improved, the helicopter transport squadron immediately took off, more than double the size of the armed helicopters just now, flying to the east bank like locusts.

In view of the heavy casualties of the third regiment, Jiang Haoran planned to send all the 28th Division to the east bank before dark, accompanied by the Snow Wolf Special Team led by Su Canwen. important task.

The battlefield is full of bomb craters, and it is difficult to find a place for helicopters to land, let alone hundreds of helicopters landing at the same time, so the troops can only drop by cable.

It can be said that the No. 20 Eighth Division has not undergone any rope descent training. It seems very simple to slide down from the helicopter with a rope, but the fear caused by the height of more than ten meters is secondary. You must know that this is a battlefield. It is possible to face all kinds of blows from the enemy. Moreover, soldiers are still fully armed, and the weight of their own weight plus the weight of weapons is even more difficult. The situation of falling to death and injury is unavoidable.

Therefore, it is necessary for the Snow Wolf Special Forces to demonstrate in front, and at the same time reduce their fear and minimize losses.

Although the soldiers could not avoid the situation that they did not dare to go down when they arrived at the destination, and it was inevitable that they would fall directly from the rope or be shot down by the Japanese army, but under the cover of the ground troops, after nearly two hours of hard work, The soldiers of the 28th Division finally landed on the east bank.

At this point, Jiang Haoran finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down the binoculars in his hand, only to find that his military uniform was completely soaked, and his palms were also greasy and sweaty.

Luo Zhuoying on the side handed over a towel with great insight, and said with a smile: "Boss, although it is a bit dangerous, it is finally over. The 28th Division is crossing the river, and there are armed helicopters to provide support at any time. They will stick to it for two days for sure." no problem."

Chief of Staff Huang Jie also smiled and said: "Yes, Chief, this first step of the plan should be regarded as a success. Just now I saw that the soldiers have erected the gallows on the opposite bank. If everything goes well, we can start building the bridge tonight. Tomorrow the big The troops were able to cross the river, and everything started to go according to our plan."

Faced with the optimism of the two, Jiang Haoran was obviously not so relaxed. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and wiped it back and forth between his hands with a towel, but looked at the battlefield on the other side where the battle was still fierce, and murmured: "The war has just started. start!"

Indeed, the war has just begun, all optimism is premature, the relaxed atmosphere just now became tense again with Jiang Haoran's words.

Jiang Haoran seemed to be aware of the subtle changes in the headquarters, he glanced left and right, but didn't say much, there is nothing wrong with concentrating on being vigilant during a war.

"Chief of Staff, does Liu Xianwei have the latest news?" Jiang Haoran asked.

"Oh, no, it's just the one that informed them of the successful airborne landing an hour ago." Huang Jie replied.

"Hiss! Chief of Staff, don't you think there's something strange about it? From the east bank in front of you, the Japanese army clearly knew our intentions, but why did they go so smoothly without being attacked by the Japanese army at all?"
