"Brother Liao? What do you think? How about I ask my sister-in-law to come over some time and meet you?"
Seeing that Yu Xiaoqing had become a matchmaker, Liao Mingyu immediately felt a headache, but he was embarrassed to say no to this kind of thing, otherwise it would be very hurtful, so after thinking about it, he could only decide first.
"The war is about to begin. How can we think about the love between these children? Let's talk about it later. Let's discuss the matter of this war. So what, do you have enough infantry artillery? Not enough to transfer 10 of them?"
Liao Mingyu quickly changed the topic with a haha. It was nice to be alone, but he didn't want to fall into the whirlpool of these families and become a hawk instigated by others...
"The big girl is beautiful, the big girl is cool, the big girl walked into the green gauze tent...Okay, let's stay here!"
Around 9 o'clock in the morning, several military trucks stopped on the road outside Zenda Town. Milong jumped out of the car humming a tune and said hello to the soldiers driving:
"You park your car at the camp in the east of the town, and then go to the field hospital to help move things. I'll go home first and then be there in a while."
"Battal Commander, please hurry up."
"Take care of yourself, battalion commander!"
"Ha ha……"
Many soldiers in the car smiled playfully and winked at Milong. No one knew the purpose of their battalion commander's trip, and they all cast glances that all men understood.
"Go, go, go, you're a bunch of bastards!" Milong cursed angrily, picked up the duffel bag, and turned around to leave.
Because most of the main force is now in Longling, except for the eastern camp of Zenda Town, which is used as a storage place for supplies, other infrastructure of the army must be moved forward, and the field hospital department is one of them.
Li Lei has already brought a group of people there, but there are still many medical staff and a large amount of equipment left in Zenda.
Therefore, the considerate Fang Jingyao did not give Milong permission to leave, but directly asked him to bring a battalion over to help the left-behind people move.
Of course Milong was very willing to do such a job. Not only could he see his wife and children, but he could also go home and stay for a few more days. It was the best of both worlds.
Originally, Meng Fanlao wanted to come back to see his father, but the war was urgent and as the deputy leader of the main force, he couldn't leave, so he had to ask Mi Long to go back on his behalf to say hello and bring something along the way.
"My dear, where did all these people come from?"
Milong was amazed. Along the way, he saw many teams passing through the streets and alleys, and the open spaces outside the town were all turned into their campsites.
Zenda is now like a large military station. Every day, unknown teams arrive and stay for a day or two before continuing to cross the river and head west.
The common people were happy to see the results, because these soldiers also promoted local consumption, bulging the pockets of some romantic places or small merchants.
Before going home, Mi Long went to the Dongmen Market and bought a lot of food, drinks and some toys for children. After finally returning home, he couldn't go empty-handed, and he also agreed to give it to Meng Fan. His parents bought something.
"That military master, the total is 15 oceans... Well, otherwise, you can just give me 10 yuan."
The stall owner lowered his head and said with some embarrassment. From time to time, he glanced at the tall Milong. It was obvious that this man must be an official.
"Why are you hesitating? I won't eat you." Milong took out 15 oceans and paid the money happily.
Nowadays, he can receive more than 80 yuan in cash as his monthly military pay, and he also gets various subsidies. He is no longer relying on deception to buy furniture, so it doesn't depend on this small amount of money at all.
"Oh, the military master is generous, the military master is heroic, thank you, thank you..."
It's rare to meet someone who spends a lot of money, so the stall owner was naturally very excited. Seeing that Mi Long was easy to talk to, he took the initiative to start chatting: "The military master doesn't know something. During this period, some soldiers are very evil. They charge a lot of money when buying things." It’s getting harder and harder to get a card and start a small business.”
"Is that the group of people who just came here?" Milong asked.
"Yeah, some of them are reasonable, and some of them are worse than bandits!" The stall owner got very angry when he said this.
Although Zenda has become very lively, it has also had a certain impact on the security here. After all, the discipline of some soldiers in the army is not very good.
Fights occurred from time to time, and some soldiers even used guns in their hands to be arrogant and unreasonable to the people, and often did things to bully others.
Although the gendarmerie also takes care of it, the effect is very little. After all, they only stay here for a short time and will leave to fight on the front line after a few days. Therefore, some people do not take discipline seriously.
"It's still better than the Sichuan Army before. Since they left, Zenda seems to have changed." The stall owner sighed with emotion.
"That's necessary! Our Sichuan Legion is different from those bastards."
As soon as he heard the good words being said about the Sichuan Army, Mi Long felt very grateful and once again generously gave the old stall owner a piece of gold.
"Let's do this... there are too many things for me to carry. If I give you some time, you can send them to me later in the second courtyard in Lao Dan Lane. It's the one with Feng Helili written on the door."
"Oh, okay, okay, sir, don't worry, the little man will be delivered to you in a moment!"
After coming out of Ximen Market, Milong walked straight towards home. He couldn't wait to be reunited with his wife and children.
…
Let's talk about the direction of Longling. When Long Wenwen realized the little Japanese's conspiracy, he immediately led his troops to the east of Longling in an attempt to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.
In order to achieve the fastest marching speed, Long Wenwen even left the heavy weapons where they were. Together with Meng Fanglia, they each led a battalion into battle with light equipment. They responded to each other on the left and right, and searched in the general direction.
When the first main regiment moved 30 kilometers northeast of Longling, it found the main force of the Japanese 113th Regiment. Apparently the opponent had just moved here, and they didn't know that there was a group of enemies ahead targeting them.
There was no nonsense when the two armies met. Long Wenwen immediately led his troops to launch an attack. The two battalions crossed over with a force of left and right, and struck the little devil in the head before he could react.
The fighting distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, and what the First Main Regiment was best at was hand-to-hand combat.
They took advantage of their own firepower to rush left and right in the forest, adopting encirclement and roundabout tactics, relying on the offensive formation between the squads to quickly separate the little Japs, and then attack together to annihilate them.
The dense jungle is not suitable for fully deploying the troops, especially in an encounter like this. Even if the Japanese scouts discovered the enemy first, the main force could not react quickly and adjust because the enemy pounced on them at the first time, so they could only be passive. Respond to the challenge.
The distance between the two sides was so close that mortars and heavy machine guns had no time to deploy. The soldiers could only rely on individual weapons and warrior formations to engage in firefights with the enemy. But in this regard...the Japanese can be beaten to death by a group of soldiers.
The first main regiment's usual training content has always been mainly jungle warfare, and the formation changes very quickly.
Moreover, they can also use walkie-talkies to achieve short-distance communication, and quickly intersperse assaults in squads and platoons. The cooperation between the troops is also very tacit, and the firepower advantages of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns are brought into full play.
All this is beyond the reach of the little devils. Even if the quality of the individual soldiers is high, surrounded by rows of dense bullets and the rapid separation of soldiers, they can only end with hatred.
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the 12th Squadron and the 15th Squadron have been surrounded by Chinese people. There have also been exchanges of fire between the left and right wings of our main force. It is currently impossible to know how many enemies there are!"
The gunfire in the distance was so dense that it was frightening. Just looking at the firepower, it was impossible to tell how many Chinese people were attacking them.
Chief of Staff Chiba felt a little panicked. He really didn't expect why he was attacked by the enemy as soon as he walked into the forest, as if the enemy was coming towards them.
Less than 20 minutes after the first contact, various emergencies began at the front, and then the two wings were attacked to varying degrees. How could the combat effectiveness of this Chinese army be so strong?
At this moment, the communications soldier had just received a telegram from the division headquarters. He hurriedly took off his earphones and ran to Chiba: "Report to the chief of staff, General Watanabe is reporting urgently!"
Chiba picked it up and took a look. The contents of the telegram made his frost-covered face even more gloomy.
After thinking for a moment, Chiba decisively issued a retreat order: "Give the order and let the main force retreat backwards under alternate cover!"
The situation ahead is unclear, and there is no backup on our side. Since the enemy has discovered his whereabouts, there is no need to take action.
Coupled with the division commander's order, there was no point in continuing the fight.
"But... Chief of Staff, what should we do with the two surrounded squadrons in front?" The officer obviously hadn't reacted yet.
"Baga! They are all warriors of the empire, so they naturally know what to do. Now... go and convey the order to me immediately!"
Chiba roared angrily, with no emotion in his cold words.
Cut off the tail to survive, abandon the pawn to save the rook. This calm Japanese major general knew exactly what he was doing.
At present, two Japanese squadrons are divided and surrounded by Long Wenwen and others. They cannot withdraw even if they want to.
The main force of the 113th Regiment behind them had no intention of moving forward to rescue them, because Meng Fangliao and Bula had already led people to outflank them from both wings, dragging them in place.
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
"Boohoo... puff puff puff!"
"ah!"
A Type 92 heavy machine gun hidden in the bushes suddenly opened fire, pushing back Long Wenwen, who was about to charge forward, and two soldiers who were unable to dodge fell into a pool of blood.
Long Wenwen hid behind a big tree and held up his pot helmet, quickly took off the "Big Brother" walkie-talkie behind him, and pressed the intercom button:
"Damn it! Give me the machine gun on your left. If you can't get past me, use rockets!"
A minute later, a white smoke ribbon suddenly appeared on the right side of the heavy machine gun. A rocket bomb hit the big tree next to the machine gun position. Although it failed to destroy it, the explosion of fire and shrapnel also made it Temporarily silenced.
The little Japanese who lost their firepower immediately fled backwards when they realized that they could no longer hold on, but the soldiers after the encirclement would not give them another chance.
The battle was very fierce, and a group of soldiers took the opportunity to charge forward decisively, shrinking every small encirclement, intending to eliminate them one by one.
"Zi...it's dead, it's dead, the army of little Japanese is about to run away, please reply when you receive it!"
At this moment, Meng Fanlie's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie. Long Wenwen frowned. This group of Japanese ran very fast. They didn't even need the two squadrons at the front. It was really a bit like "a strong man cuts off his wrist." "the meaning of.
Now that the little devil in front of him has become an outcast, Long Wenwen was not polite and immediately pressed the intercom button: "Copy that, brothers, stop chasing and come back and eat the remaining little devils!"
………
At the same time, the few remaining 18 Falcon fighter jets at Tengchong Airport were preparing to take off. Their mission was to escort the three Type 96 bombers flying from the north of Myanmar.
The Japanese army is about to launch a secret bombing operation.
It was impossible for China to hide such a large-scale military mobilization from the Japanese. The reconnaissance planes that flew across the sky from time to time had already passed this information back.
The expeditionary force's big move made the commander of the 56th Division, Masao Watanabe, realize that a fierce battle was about to come.
He first ordered the peripheral troops to immediately return for reinforcements and prepare to deploy defense lines along several dangerous mountains around Tengchong.
Then he once again requested tactical guidance from the commander of the northern direction of Myanmar. If he could not get support, Tengchong would become a lone army, and it would only be a matter of time before the entire army was destroyed.
Regarding this, the commander-in-chief of the 15th Army, Shojiro Iida, responded immediately. He urgently deployed the 18th Division, which was closest to western Yunnan, China, and rushed to Tengchong as quickly as possible.
In addition, Shojiro Iida, who was as cunning as a fox, believed that passive defense could not solve the fundamental problem, and he immediately decided to take more actions to prevent the Chinese attack.
According to aircraft reconnaissance, several units of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force are currently moving towards Chanda, and many military supplies are also stored here. This is an excellent time for bombing.
Although the US Air Force is stationed in western Yunnan, this is not a reason to be afraid of the enemy. If the bombing operation can achieve the expected results, it can definitely effectively delay the enemy's offensive posture and create conditions for the 56th Division to counterattack.
…
"A frog has one mouth, two eyes and four legs..."
Lei Bao was squatting at the door teasing the ants, but unexpectedly someone walked up quietly. The man was afraid of making any noise, so he cautiously approached him.
Suddenly the light above Lei Bao's head dimmed, and then two big hands suddenly came from behind and lifted him high.
"Ah! Let me go!"
Little Leibao was frightened by the sudden "attack" and screamed. He subconsciously struggled desperately, but his little arms and legs could only kick wildly in mid-air.
"Son, do you miss me?"
When Lei Bao heard this familiar voice, he quickly turned his head and realized that it was the extremely familiar person.
"Ah! Father Long is back!"
"What's wrong?"
At this time, Shangguan Jiici, who heard the noise, also ran out of the house.
"Hey, my wife, I'm back!"
Mi Long laughed happily and raised the little Leibao on his shoulders, finally seeing the person he had longed for again.
"He's such a big man, and he hasn't been given the proper shape yet."
