Liao Mingyu sneered, if there was no equipment and tactics to crush, how could it be possible to achieve these results in the face of the fierce little Japs.
But the price of this is that it relies more on logistical supplies, especially those of Chen Jize's Third Regiment. The tank battalion has been unable to push forward until now, and the speed of the truck supply line is getting slower and slower. In addition to the fatigue of the soldiers, the consumption of fuel and ammunition is also a factor. The numbers are astronomical, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced before they are replenished.
"Your Excellency, Commander, as I said last time, heavy equipment such as artillery and tractors cannot be transported at all, and the Sherman cannot be loaded on the aircraft, so please don't make things difficult for me." Smith complained endlessly and was satisfied. The wrinkles on his face are almost bunched up, but this damn young officer is still as difficult to deal with as ever.
"Then there's nothing I can do to help. The troops attacking Nankan have consumed too much. They've almost run out of fuel, artillery shells, and so on. They won't be able to move in a short time." Liao Mingyu turned his head and said leisurely.
"Don't you still have several teams in your hands?"
"The people going to Lashio are already on their way. You won't let me call them back, will you? Besides, don't my men need to rest? Don't forget how many battles we fought from Mangshi to Nankan."
"God damn it!" Smith finally couldn't help but cursed, and his lungs were about to explode.
This bastard was really hateful. He resisted the urge to walk away and tried to calm down: "I will find a solution for the fuel. I will also ask them to send a batch of Sherman shells and a few tank maintenance personnel, and other things." I’ll add some more supplies.”
Liao Mingyu still shook his head, picked up the water glass and looked out the window, ignoring him with a casual look.
Smith was like a deflated ball. He tremblingly took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Damn, in his entire life, he had never met someone as incompetent as Liao Mingyu.
In fact, like most Americans, he came to China with the attitude of completing his work. He has been in Southeast Asia for more than a year for this job. He has long been fed up with the climate and conditions here.
It was less than 15 kilometers away. Deputy Commander Meng replied that the leading battalion of the troops had slowly moved closer, but they were afraid of being discovered by Japanese scouts and did not dare to move too far forward. They were currently located 3 kilometers southwest of Lashio. "
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...
