"Kaname...what's the situation? Please reply when you receive it."
On a hillside covered with low bushes, Long Wenwen was holding a walkie-talkie, trying to contact Kaname and his team who went to investigate the situation.
The ghillie suits they wore were very stuffy and airtight, but it also gave them the best concealment. As long as they lay on the ground and didn't move, even if the little devils walked up to them, they might not be able to spot them.
Lashio, which originally became the largest city in northern Myanmar under the rule of the British, is now no longer prosperous.
It can be seen through the telescope that this place is high in the south and low in the north, and most of the buildings stand on the mountain. The old city was basically bombed by the Japanese army, and apart from a mess of wreckage, only the charred broken walls and rotten wood were left.
There is a train station at the foot of the mountain. Several military trains are parked quietly on the platform. The surroundings are heavily guarded. You can tell with your toes that there must be a lot of military supplies there.
At this time... Kaname's reply finally came from the walkie-talkie: "Zi... reported that there are two squadrons of troops here at the train station, three infantry cannons, and no less than ten light and heavy machine guns... Zi... there are probably more in the barracks. A squadron.”
"Copy that, stay hidden and continue to observe."
After saying this, Long Wenwen put away his walkie-talkie and stared down with his keen eyes. If we also count the little Japs on the outer positions, the Lashio defenders probably had a strengthened brigade.
This battle is not going to be easy...
Long Wenwen made a gesture, and the two "grasses" next to him suddenly trembled, and followed his footsteps and quietly retreated into the woods behind him.
The backpack-type high-power radio station in the team was set up on the back slope of the mountain. At this time, the correspondent was busy working hard.
"How are you? Have you contacted them?" Long Wenwen hurriedly asked.
"Contact has been made. The main force of the regiment is less than 15 kilometers away from here. Deputy Commander Meng replied that the advance battalion of the army has slowly moved closer. They are just afraid of being discovered by the Japanese scouts and do not dare to move too far forward. They are currently in Lashio It’s 3 kilometers away in the southwest.”
The communications soldier pointed at the map to report the situation. Long Wenwen's eyes lit up and he looked where he pointed. Isn't that direction just close to Lashio Station? And the railway tracks happen to extend southwest.
"Who is leading this vanguard battalion? Can we contact them?" Long Wenwen asked hurriedly.
"The leader is Battalion Commander Deng. I will contact them immediately."
It turns out it's not spicy at all. This kid is pretty smart and should be fine.
Long Wenwen smiled mysteriously and then said: "After getting in touch, tell them that they can send skirmishers to search in the northeast direction. If they find the railway line, let the troops ambush on both sides of the track and wait for my instructions."
"clear."
"Also, ask Meng Fannie to lead the main force closer here as soon as possible. Try to stay hidden. If you are discovered, don't hold back and fight hard."
"yes!"
The signal soldier agreed, immediately wrote down the code of the order on paper, and began to send the telegram.
After arranging everything, Long Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but murmured: "Grandma, I was spoiled by Shen Zuo before, but now I'm really not used to it when I go back to my old job."
In the past, in western Yunnan, if he touched the enemy, he would just shout on the walkie-talkie: Fatty, let's fire!
It doesn't make sense at all, so I can't help but give a firepower first to cover it up before talking about anything else.
It's a pity, now that I'm alone and deep in the game, I need to keep my voice low, not to mention heavy fire support, for fear of being discovered.
Now that the artillery regiment is deployed near Nankan, it's not that they don't want the heavy artillery to move with it, but the 4.5-ton big guy is really inconvenient to move.
What's more, the road to Lashio is mostly mountainous and forested, and the movement is slow and easy to be ambushed by the enemy. By the time they arrive in Lashio, the battle will probably be over, which does not meet the tactical requirements.
There was only one artillery battalion belonging to the regiment that went with the engineering regiment, which was mainly used for defense after taking Lashio, which could be regarded as making up for their lack of heavy firepower.
But after all, it is really difficult to walk through the forests of Shan State in Myanmar. At the same time, the three teams starting from Wanding, the 200 Division fell at the back early. Frequent mechanical failures caused them to walk for two days and two nights before marching to the entire Half the way.
If the Engineer Corps hadn't been resigned to help them "solve problems", it would be estimated that the 200 Division would still be trapped in the middle of the road unable to move.
In comparison, a regiment traveled nearly 200 kilometers in two days and two nights using only their feet. It must be said that this was like a miracle, and it would be difficult for any other regiment of the Third Division to achieve it.
Although the soldiers were tired, they were still gritting their teeth and persevering under the supervision of their respective commanders, because they were the epitome of the earliest Sichuan Legion, an iron-blooded division that had fought countless tough battles, and that indomitable spirit will always be implemented in every soldier. …
Time passed by minute by second, and the sun was about to set, but the surroundings of the Lashio Army Camp were surprisingly quiet.
It's dinner time for the Japanese, and several changing teams can finally relax and gather together with their lunch boxes, enjoying the most relaxing moment of the day.
But what they didn't know was that every move in the camp was visible to Long Wenwen and others who were hiding in the dark.
Now there is only one squadron left in the station, and the rest have retreated to the barracks to eat and rest.
There were also food soldiers on the outer positions delivering meals. Most of the little devils were sitting on the ground eating, and only a few patrols and sentries were still sticking to their posts.
The rotation time of the Japanese is very short. After these few dozen minutes, they may return to their respective positions. This should be the best time!
Long Wenwen, who was crawling on the hillside, quietly took out his walkie-talkie, turned on the same frequency button and said in a deep voice: "Communication team, contact the vanguard battalion immediately and ask them to immediately launch an attack along the railway line towards the station. Each team... start taking action!"
"receive…"
Outside the Japanese barracks, in an unnoticed corner, two Falcon team members were quietly ambushing here. As soon as Long Wenwen's order was given, they put a bridge wire on the copper wire of the detonator and pressed the button without hesitation. Go down.
"Boom! Boom!"
Following two loud noises, two groups of fire burst into the sky in the woods outside the military camp, and the deafening explosion alarmed all the Japanese soldiers in the camp.
"Nani?"
"what happened?"
"Enemy attack! Take up arms!"
Just a few seconds later, there was a loud whistle in the military camp. After hearing the news, countless little devils rushed towards the direction of the explosion. They thought they were attacked by the enemy.
Most of the little Japs who rushed out of the camp didn't know what happened, but they responded extremely quickly and quickly formed a combat formation under the command of various officers...
